Speaker 3: be here with you. First and foremost, before we really

21
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 3: get started, I have to say thank you. I have

22
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:05,080
Speaker 3: to say thank you for dealing with my dad all

23
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:09,280
Speaker 3: these years. You know, I know it's not an easy

24
00:01:09,319 --> 00:01:12,280
Speaker 3: to ask weekend week out. It's grueling, It's it's grunting,

25
00:01:12,360 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: I know.

26
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:16,680
Speaker 1: I mean, he can be fun, he's feisty.

27
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 4: I'm wondering if the little Furment is this feisty as

28
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 4: the big Farman.

29
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 3: Well, you know what, it's a lot of people say

30
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:27,199
Speaker 3: I get a lot of my spunk from my dad,

31
00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:32,759
Speaker 3: you know, but no one can ever replicate my dad.

32
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:35,640
Speaker 3: But too, you know, I know that you really didn't

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 3: have a say when the decision was made when you

34
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:39,640
Speaker 3: guys were partner up. So I just got to say

35
00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,399
Speaker 3: thank you so much for taking one for the team.

36
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 3: You know, so good, it's a good well I really yeah,

37
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:50,000
Speaker 3: I'm really excited to be here with you today, Bucky.

38
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 3: We do have Asked Bucky coming up later in the hour,

39
00:01:53,240 --> 00:01:55,560

Speaker 2: Thank you so much as always.

50
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:20,920
Speaker 3: So I kind of want to get started here with

51
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 3: college football, and one of the biggest stories coming out

52
00:02:23,639 --> 00:02:27,840
Speaker 3: from this past week is Brian Kelly's firing from LSU.

53
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 2: And I know a lot of people are rolling their

54
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 2: eyes right now.

55
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,880
Speaker 3: Oh, this is old news, this is week old news.

56
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 3: But guess what, I haven't had anything to say about

57
00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 3: it just yet. And here's the scoop. LSU fired their

58
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,240
Speaker 3: head coach Brian Kelly a week ago last Sunday on

59
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,800
Speaker 3: the twenty six at the A forty nine to twenty

60
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:46,160
Speaker 3: five lost to Texas A and M. Now LSU is

61
00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:49,560
Speaker 3: currently at five and three on the season, effectively ending

62
00:02:49,680 --> 00:02:53,040
Speaker 3: their playoff hopes, and Kelly's firing is part of this

63
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:56,919
Speaker 3: bigger trend that's going on in college and NFL football

64
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 3: that high profile coaches are being let go midseason. And

65
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 3: we've already seen this before with Penn State and James

66
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:07,840
Speaker 3: Franklin fired from Penn State just after three losses, and Bucky,

67
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: I have to ask you firing a coach midyear, mid

68
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 3: season from a performance standpoint, does a midseason coaching change

69
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:20,280
Speaker 3: really improve the results or does it just create more

70
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 3: chaos for the team and the organization.

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because normally you get a little

72
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:30,960
Speaker 4: bump in emotion from the team, So the team will

73
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 4: take all this energy to negative energy from a fire,

74
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 4: and they're trying and galvanize themselves and get going for

75
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 4: a little bit. But a lot of time is fleeting

76
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,360
Speaker 4: because what you've done is you remove the person at

77
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 4: the top, but the infrastructure that they created they're still there,

78
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 4: but you've lacked the leadership to continue to extend the

79
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 4: infrastructure and the philosophies and those things. So the interim

80
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 4: coach will try to like change some things. If you're

81
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 4: a team that operated in pads a lot, then you

82
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:02,400
Speaker 4: take the pads off. If you're a team that was

83
00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 4: a low energy practice team, then you add music and

84
00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:08,600
Speaker 4: energy to practice and vice versa. But a lot of times,

85
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: I mean, the team is the team, and it's hard

86
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,360
Speaker 4: to change the team despite changing the coach, I mean

87
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:17,920
Speaker 4: change the team's performance and those things. So look, man,

88
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: it doesn't really do much good to do it mid season.

89
00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 4: The thing that you do is you get a jump

90
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:27,920
Speaker 4: on the coaching candidates. But you also, in today's college football,

91
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 4: you open up the transfer portal where a lot of

92
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,919
Speaker 4: your players can jump in and leave, and so the

93
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,720
Speaker 4: cupboard a lot of times is bad when the new

94
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,120
Speaker 4: coach comes in. Yeah.

95
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:37,880
Speaker 2: No, absolutely.

96
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 3: And you know with Brian Kelly, he was the most

97
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 3: winning coach at Notre Dame, and he knows how to

98
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 3: play or how the game play is played. And since

99
00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:51,840
Speaker 3: being at LSU winning three straight ball games in twenty two,

100
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 3: twenty three, twenty four, it doesn't sound to me like

101
00:04:55,080 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 3: he doesn't know his excess and notes. He knows how

102
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: to coach, he knows how to win, but he never.

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 2: Really brought that to LSU.

104
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,840
Speaker 3: I mean, the last time LSU was successful, if you will,

105
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 3: was back in twenty nineteen when they went a perfect fifteen.

106
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 4: And oh.

107
00:05:11,600 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: But what did Brian Kelly never have all those years?

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,039
Speaker 3: I mean, what was the missing factor? What was the

109
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:19,520
Speaker 3: missing element that he never had?

110
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:23,440
Speaker 4: You know, it's funny because at Notre Dame it was

111
00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 4: a different ball of wax because he was dealing with

112
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,600
Speaker 4: high academic standards. He was dealing with a different type

113
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 4: of kid that he had to bring in based on

114
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:36,320
Speaker 4: Notre Dame's reputation and the way that they operated at

115
00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 4: LSU was a little different. Right LSU, he had the

116
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 4: best of the best that he could tap into. The

117
00:05:41,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 4: problem is being from outside of the boot, being outside

118
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,200
Speaker 4: of the area, he didn't understand what really mattered down

119
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,599
Speaker 4: at LSU, and that is chemistry and connectivity. You're gonna

120
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:54,200
Speaker 4: have all the x's and o's, you're gonna have the

121
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:58,760
Speaker 4: great schemes and organizational structure, those things, but the job

122
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:03,000
Speaker 4: is really about people and listening to and talking to

123
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,279
Speaker 4: people around the program. In the program, he didn't connect

124
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,400
Speaker 4: with the people and that's everything. And so it's hard

125
00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: to get a group a team to play hard for

126
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 4: you if you don't really know them, if you don't

127
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,040
Speaker 4: really show them that you care about them beyond what

128
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:20,880
Speaker 4: they can do on the field. And ultimately that was

129
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 4: his undoing. The lack of care, the lack of compassion,

130
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 4: the lack of connection did him in.

131
00:06:27,400 --> 00:06:30,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I've heard some horror stories from

132
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 3: previous people that coached with them, or or graduate assistant

133
00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:39,719
Speaker 3: or even previous players that played underneath Brian Kelly, and

134
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: I've heard some horror stories about him.

135
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Speaker 2: I don't like to talk ill about anyone.

136
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 3: But at the beginning of the year, I was thinking

137
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,039
Speaker 3: to myself, you know, Brian Kelly's really on the hot

138
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: seat this year.

139
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,520
Speaker 2: He's been at LSU for four years.

140
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 3: He's had some success, but he hasn't had the success

141
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 3: that LSU expected of him. I mean, being in the SEC,

142
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:04,800
Speaker 3: there's nothing short of expectation other than just winning. And

143
00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 3: if it's winning, it's winning the national championship. And he

144
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 3: hadn't done that in his four years since being at LSU.

145
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 3: And uh, you know, Bucky, we were talking about this

146
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,040
Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago. I don't like firing a

147
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 3: coach mid year, don't I don't like it whatsoever. I

148
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 3: think you ought to keep the coach, keep the tide,

149
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 3: hopefully have some talks with the coach, Hopefully make some

150
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:31,240
Speaker 3: changes within your organization, maybe to your point, you know,

151
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,080
Speaker 3: taking off the pads or changing practice games or whatever

152
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:36,000
Speaker 3: it may be. Try to change the culture just a

153
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 3: little bit, just so the ship can turn around and

154
00:07:39,280 --> 00:07:41,080
Speaker 3: try to go in a different direction. And then at

155
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: the end of the year, you know, maybe reevaluate. Maybe

156
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 3: Brian Kelly could have made them Bowl eligible one way

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:48,280
Speaker 3: or another.

158
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 2: By the end of the year. But I don't really

159
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 2: agree with firing a coach mid year. I mean, what

160
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 2: do you.

161
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 4: Think, you know? I mean, I definitely don't agree with it.

162
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 4: But in todays time is coming when you when you

163
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: change the way that college football is doing business, where

164
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:08,920
Speaker 4: you're so listening money from donors and boosters to pay

165
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,800
Speaker 4: the players, they expect to see certain things. They expect

166
00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 4: to see winning. I mean, they expect to see winning

167
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:19,240
Speaker 4: right away, and they don't have the patience. And when

168
00:08:19,280 --> 00:08:22,200
Speaker 4: you're LSU and the last three coaches that you've had

169
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 4: have won national titles within the first five years of

170
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 4: taking the job, that's a reasonable expectation. And Brian Kelly

171
00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 4: wasn't delivering on that. And it wasn't not just delivering

172
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:35,840
Speaker 4: on that part. It's just that it just had a

173
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,720
Speaker 4: wonky feel. It didn't feel like LSU. They never felt

174
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 4: like the Tigers, even under ed Ojeron or Less Miles

175
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 4: or Nick Saban. It was just a different feel from

176
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: this program. And ultimately they decided they couldn't continue to

177
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 4: go on with it.

178
00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, LSU and a lot of other programs

179
00:08:55,200 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 3: going around, you know, in college football right now, and

180
00:08:58,559 --> 00:09:00,640
Speaker 3: I'm just I had to stop. And you know, you

181
00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:04,560
Speaker 3: kind of brought up the transfer portal before, and I'm thinking,

182
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: you know, they had recruits at those games, you know,

183
00:09:08,440 --> 00:09:11,320
Speaker 3: showing them the facilities, having them meet the coaches, all

184
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,400
Speaker 3: these recruits coming to LSU meeting Brian Kelly. And I'm

185
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: not saying everyone hated Brian Kelly as a coach. Certainly

186
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:20,680
Speaker 3: there were some players that thought, this is the perfect

187
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,559
Speaker 3: coach for me. I back him one hundred percent. This

188
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,960
Speaker 3: is who I want to go next next year. I

189
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 3: want to go to LSU. But what does that do

190
00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 3: for the players. How do players typically react to a

191
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:34,040
Speaker 3: coaching change midyear?

192
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 4: Look, I mean I think they will. Some of them

193
00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 4: will be said, because some of them will ultimately be

194
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly guys, and they'll feel responsible for letting him

195
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 4: down and for him being fired. Others will have a

196
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 4: sense of relief and they will gravitate quickly to the

197
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,440
Speaker 4: interim coach. Frank Wilson has been there for a while.

198
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,840
Speaker 4: He may have recruited a bunch of these kids, and

199
00:09:55,880 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 4: so they're trying to play hard for him because of

200
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: the connection that he had to them. But it becomes

201
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 4: harder because now you have people in different roles. You

202
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:08,880
Speaker 4: have people trying to figure out offensive philosophies and defensive

203
00:10:08,880 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 4: philosophies with maybe a change in leadership, so all of

204
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:16,520
Speaker 4: that can change. So I'll expect to see a little

205
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:18,959
Speaker 4: emotional bump, but I don't know if it's going to

206
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:20,559
Speaker 4: change anything in terms of the results.

207
00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, certainly, don't know.

208
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,839
Speaker 3: If you know, the intereim coach can kind of turn

209
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:29,200
Speaker 3: the team around, maybe try to make them Bowl eligible

210
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: or just kind of finishing out the rest of the

211
00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 3: season just on the on the trajectory and the track

212
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 3: that they're going down the road right now. But for

213
00:10:37,360 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: Brian Kelly, I mean, I think you know word is

214
00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,480
Speaker 3: now that they're just gonna He's gonna take maybe some

215
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:44,560
Speaker 3: time off, maybe for the rest of the year. I mean,

216
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:47,400
Speaker 3: we can expect to see Brian Kelly back in the

217
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: head coaching position, But what do you think would be

218
00:10:52,360 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 3: his next steps to get back into coaching.

219
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:00,560
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing for Brian Kelly is trying

220
00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:02,880
Speaker 4: to reassess if he still wants to continue to coach.

221
00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 4: When you have a buyout fifty four million dollars, you

222
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 4: have time and money where you don't have to make

223
00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 4: a rush decision. The thing is, there can be some

224
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:15,960
Speaker 4: good jobs that are gonna be available, and there's not

225
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:19,000
Speaker 4: gonna be enough coaches to fill those seats. Despite his

226
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 4: experience at LSU, you can't deny that Brian Kelly is

227
00:11:22,400 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 4: a winning coach. He's a championship caliber coach. He didn't

228
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: get it done at LSU, but everywhere else that he's

229
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 4: been he has raised the program to the level where

230
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,560
Speaker 4: they were very competitive at the highest levels of ball.

231
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:37,440
Speaker 4: It may take some time for the dust to settle,

232
00:11:37,520 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 4: but I think he's going to be interviewed and then

233
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,240
Speaker 4: he will have to make a decision on whether he

234
00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,200
Speaker 4: wants to jump back in the circle. But he's going

235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 4: to have some options. They may not be the options

236
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 4: that we're talking about like LSU, Florida on that level

237
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 4: where we're talking about Penn State or whatever. But maybe

238
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:58,280
Speaker 4: because when the carousel stops spinning, he's still going to

239
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 4: be one of the best coaches. That are James Franklin,

240
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 4: Brian Kelly. Those guys have won, They have PILs on

241
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:06,920
Speaker 4: the wall, and someone is going to value their experience

242
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,960
Speaker 4: and their winning pedigrees.

243
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it always boggles my mind, you know, like going.

244
00:12:11,840 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 3: Let's talk about James Franklin here for a second. It

245
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 3: just boggles my mind that Penn State would get rid

246
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:23,119
Speaker 3: of him after three losses. I get it, it's unbelievable

247
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 3: that they lost the three games.

248
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 2: They're big games that they lost.

249
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 3: Maybe one or two of those games they shouldn't have lost,

250
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:33,240
Speaker 3: but they were just so quick to make the decision

251
00:12:33,280 --> 00:12:35,960
Speaker 3: to get rid of them. I mean, he started back

252
00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:38,800
Speaker 3: in I think what twenty twelve really turned the team

253
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:42,080
Speaker 3: around at Penn State and made them a Big ten

254
00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 3: contending team, and just it was. It just shocks me

255
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:50,280
Speaker 3: that after the three losses they were just saying, you

256
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:51,800
Speaker 3: know what, your time is up.

257
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:53,280
Speaker 2: We're going to go in a different direction.

258
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,320
Speaker 3: We've already made up my mind, we've already made up

259
00:12:56,320 --> 00:12:57,119
Speaker 3: our mind.

260
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: And we're gonna let you go.

261
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 3: I don't know if why is this a common trend

262
00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,880
Speaker 3: that we're seeing now in college football?

263
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 4: You have too many people involved in the decision making,

264
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:10,520
Speaker 4: and those people that are involved in the decision maker

265
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:12,360
Speaker 4: are the ones that give money. And when you give

266
00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:16,280
Speaker 4: people a voice because of their money, it can become

267
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,760
Speaker 4: very emotional and rather than making decisions based on facts,

268
00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 4: you're making decisions on feelings, and a lot of times

269
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:29,960
Speaker 4: the feelings of the prominent donors swing from game to

270
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,439
Speaker 4: game based on whether your team is winning or losing.

271
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:36,080
Speaker 4: For James Franklin, I would say that what hurt him

272
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,440
Speaker 4: was this perception that he couldn't win a big game.

273
00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: And everyone references his record versus ap top ten or

274
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:47,760
Speaker 4: the heavy hitters and the big ten, but what no

275
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,800
Speaker 4: one ever talks about is what is Ohio State's record

276
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:54,560
Speaker 4: doing that time, what is Michigan's record doing those times?

277
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,839
Speaker 4: How many people have beat them? In general? Not many?

278
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: And so that was the standard. Penn State wanted to

279
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 4: use that against them, But there's no one that's going

280
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 4: to measure up to those standards that they're using against

281
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 4: James Franklin. So I'm curious to see who is the

282
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 4: so called upgrade over what he's done. Because the other

283
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 4: thing that Penn State has not factored in all of

284
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 4: those prominent players that were coming through all of those

285
00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:26,960
Speaker 4: top graphics, the abdual Carters, the Michael Parsons, the Sakwan

286
00:14:27,040 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 4: Barkley's and those guys, They're not coming to Penn State

287
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 4: because of Penn State. They were coming to Penn State

288
00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,640
Speaker 4: because of James Franklin. And if they think that they're

289
00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:37,960
Speaker 4: going to be able to pay their way to keep

290
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 4: those kinds of players coming, they're mistaken unless they bring

291
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 4: in a coach who has the recruiting chops and has

292
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:47,840
Speaker 4: the personality to bring those types of kids in because

293
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:49,880
Speaker 4: those kids aren't looking for Penn State on the map.

294
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:53,080
Speaker 3: Absolutely, thank you so much, Bucky Brooks. Keep the doll

295

Speaker 3: locked because we got next. We're covering a big game

00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:46,400
Speaker 3: That's coming right up, but first we're broadcasting live from

315
00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:47,880
Speaker 3: Fox Sports Radio Studios.

316
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:49,960
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Alex Furman.

317
00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:53,080
Speaker 3: And also I have to mention, for over forty years,

318
00:15:53,200 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 3: tyre rec has been helping customers find the right tires

319
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:00,080
Speaker 3: for how, what and where they drive, shipping fast and

320
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,560
Speaker 3: free back by free road hazard production, and convenient installation

321
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:08,840
Speaker 3: options like mobile tire installations, tirerac dot com the way

322
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 3: tire buying should be.

323
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 2: Next, I want to continue to talk.

324
00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 3: About college football and Ohio State hosted Penn State yesterday,

325
00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:21,800
Speaker 3: a game that was supposed to mean something, well what

326
00:16:21,920 --> 00:16:24,200
Speaker 3: a lot of people thought was supposed to mean something

327
00:16:24,520 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 3: at the very beginning of the year, but as we

328
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,720
Speaker 3: all know, no more. Ohio State beating Penn State thirty

329
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: eight fourteen at home. Of course, we all know that

330
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 3: Penn State, who started out as number two in the nation,

331
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: dropped off the ap list after three straight losses under

332
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:42,040
Speaker 3: James Franklin.

333
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,920
Speaker 2: Bucky, I have to ask you, what do you think

334
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 2: happened to Penn State this year?

335
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 3: I mean, they're now walking into five straight losses for

336
00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,520
Speaker 3: the year.

337
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 2: What's going on well.

338
00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 4: I would say the first thing is being number one

339
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 4: overall and having that target on the back. They didn't

340
00:17:00,800 --> 00:17:05,720
Speaker 4: handle the pressure of the moment well. And some teams

341
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 4: do not do well when they go from being underdog

342
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:14,480
Speaker 4: status to being favorites. And for Penn State, the pressure,

343
00:17:14,520 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 4: the anxiety overwhelmed them when it came to their team.

344
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,880
Speaker 4: Despite having a team that on paper was better than

345
00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 4: the previous year, they didn't perform up to those standards.

346
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:26,880
Speaker 4: Near The running backs played well. The quarterback Drew Alla

347
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,879
Speaker 4: was struggling before he suffered a season and injury. The

348
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:34,639
Speaker 4: defense is still adapting and adjusting to Jim Knowles's new

349
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 4: defensive coordinator that came over from Ohio State after winning

350
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,720
Speaker 4: a championship there, a national title there, so there was

351
00:17:40,760 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 4: a lot of change and transition and they just did

352
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 4: it just didn't come together quickly. And when you remove

353
00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:49,440
Speaker 4: James Franklin from the mix, there are a lot of

354
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:53,840
Speaker 4: emotional scars. There's a lot of adjustments that you're trying

355
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,159
Speaker 4: to make on the Terry Smith and right now it

356
00:17:56,320 --> 00:18:00,080
Speaker 4: just hasn't clicked. But look, they underachieved. They certainly and

357
00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:03,199
Speaker 4: perform to the standard, and only the players really know

358
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 4: what happened, but yeah, it's shocking to see them fall

359
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:08,520
Speaker 4: the way that they fall them this year.

360
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:12,280
Speaker 3: So the ranked number one you said at the beginning

361
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,439
Speaker 3: of the year, and some people might look at that

362
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 3: as motivation. They might say, Okay, we're number one, We're

363
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 3: supposed to be number one. We should have been number

364
00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,960
Speaker 3: one last year. We should have went to the national

365
00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 3: championship last year. Of course they fell short, but they

366
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,960
Speaker 3: felt like they should have been there, and being ranked

367
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,640
Speaker 3: number one should have maybe helped motivate some of them

368
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,359
Speaker 3: to play better and just to keep that number one spot.

369
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 3: What don't you think, or you said to yourself or

370
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 3: just now that number one is the target on their

371
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,200
Speaker 3: back and that puts some pressure on people.

372
00:18:44,880 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 4: What do you think.

373
00:18:45,920 --> 00:18:46,879
Speaker 2: I like the you.

374
00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 3: Know your number one and you have to prove to

375
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 3: stay number one. I guess they ultimately didn't do that.

376
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think sometimes when you are a team that

377
00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:00,600
Speaker 4: hasn't had the weight of expectations on you like that,

378
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:04,320
Speaker 4: it can be overwhelming because there's extra energy that comes

379
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:06,679
Speaker 4: from the opponent that you have to fend off and

380
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 4: deal with. Now everyone is using you as the measuring stake.

381
00:19:10,240 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: People are gearing up for you, and there's more energy

382
00:19:14,320 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 4: and intensity and urgency from your opponent than you're used

383
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:21,160
Speaker 4: to seeing. And then for your own team and your players,

384
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 4: some of them internalize all of the expectations that people

385
00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:29,280
Speaker 4: lump on them, and you try and tell players, a,

386
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,960
Speaker 4: no one is going to have greater expectations for us

387
00:19:32,560 --> 00:19:35,840
Speaker 4: than us because we expect to compete at a high level.

388
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,560
Speaker 4: So no matter what they think, good or bad, is

389
00:19:38,600 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 4: about what we think about us and what we do

390
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 4: at that moment. The problem is social media and some

391
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 4: of these other things creates a level of anxiety that

392
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:51,160
Speaker 4: prevents them from performing because they're so worried about the

393
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 4: noise as opposed to the task at hand.

394
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 3: So what if they changed like the beginning of the seasons.

395
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:02,639
Speaker 3: I'm looking at their schedule here the first three games Nevada,

396
00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,640
Speaker 3: FIU and Villanova three games or three teams rather that

397
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 3: I mean, they're just kind of they're not very big games,

398
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,679
Speaker 3: if you will. So maybe they had, you know, an

399
00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:15,679
Speaker 3: easy streak in the beginning. It was kind of like

400
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,360
Speaker 3: false hope at the beginning of the season. Then they

401
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:23,040
Speaker 3: started hitting the big hitters right Oregon UCLA. Honestly, that

402
00:20:23,080 --> 00:20:25,000
Speaker 3: should have been a win. Ucla should have been win.

403
00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:29,360
Speaker 3: Northwestern should have been a win Iowa. Maybe I give

404
00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 3: that a coin flip. But then the big the big

405
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 3: game against Ohio State. But maybe it was a little

406
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 3: sense of false hope at the beginning of the year.

407
00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,879
Speaker 3: What do you think, Maybe there wasn't a sense of

408
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:41,840
Speaker 3: urgency at the beginning of the year with these first

409
00:20:41,880 --> 00:20:42,479
Speaker 3: three games.

410
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:46,200
Speaker 4: I think people look at it a few different ways.

411
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,719
Speaker 4: Some people believe that you should have your team tested early,

412
00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 4: play a big game early so you know exactly who

413
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,720
Speaker 4: you are right away. The problem is sometimes your team

414
00:20:56,760 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 4: me and I'd be ready to handle a big game

415
00:20:59,119 --> 00:21:01,320
Speaker 4: right away, and if you play too tough of a

416
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 4: schedule at the beginning, you potentially lose them for the

417
00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 4: rest of the year because of their confidence. They don't

418
00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 4: believe in the things, because they suffer a few different losses,

419
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:12,639
Speaker 4: and you may not be able to bring them back

420
00:21:13,240 --> 00:21:17,360
Speaker 4: and playing the cupcakes as you will early, you're trying

421
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:20,399
Speaker 4: to build some confidence, You're trying to work through some

422
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:23,000
Speaker 4: things that you hope will translate well when you do

423
00:21:23,080 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 4: take a step up in competition, even though you haven't

424
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 4: been tested by that caliber earth talent, you have gained

425
00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,680
Speaker 4: enough confidence that you hope through repetition that those habits

426
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 4: created in those games will translate well versus Organ. It didn't.

427
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,199
Speaker 4: There was a heartbreaking loss to Organ, but it was

428
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:40,959
Speaker 4: a close losses one that went to overtime where they

429
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 4: really had a chance and probably should have won if

430
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,600
Speaker 4: they take care of business at the end. The UCLA

431
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,800
Speaker 4: loss is probably the residual of losing the Organ where

432
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 4: they emptied the emotional bucket in the Organ game and

433
00:21:53,119 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 4: just had a hard time bringing it back, so you'd

434
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 4: use the UCLA And so now everything is sparaling because

435
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 4: the noise is getting because you lost to in a row,

436
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 4: and then you drop the one in Northwestern, another closed loss,

437
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 4: but you lose your quarterback. And because of the I

438
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: would say knee jerk reaction of administration where you fire

439
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 4: the coach, a season that had promises, look is lost.

440
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:18,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, certainly, I think. Also, you know with the UCLA game,

441
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,120
Speaker 3: they went out West Coast. It's tough, you know, being

442
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: from the East Coast over to the West coast, the

443
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 3: time difference, the scheduling, that puts pressure on the player.

444
00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:29,400
Speaker 2: And I always say it it's.

445
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,239
Speaker 3: Really hard to win on the road any team who

446
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,640
Speaker 3: wins on the road is a really good team, even

447
00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:37,919
Speaker 3: if you're playing against UCLA. But for the rest of

448
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 3: the season, they got Indiana, that's gonna be a tough game.

449
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,119
Speaker 2: They got Michigan in State, maybe a kind of a

450
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 2: coin toss there.

451
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,640
Speaker 3: Nebraska, I think it's going to be a tough game

452
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: for them too, and maybe Rutgers.

453
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,359
Speaker 2: So for the rest of the season, it's not a

454
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:52,840
Speaker 2: shoe in.

455
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,479
Speaker 3: It's not going to be easy for the rest For

456
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,520
Speaker 3: the rest of the season for Penn State, I don't think.

457
00:22:57,440 --> 00:22:59,280
Speaker 4: Well, no, I mean it's it's just definitely not gonna

458
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,360
Speaker 4: be easy for them because they've already had to deal

459
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:04,120
Speaker 4: with so much change. And Indian is a really good team.

460
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 4: You see how they're knocking out opponents and just dominating folks.

461
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:10,720
Speaker 4: That was gonna be a tough one regardless. Nebraska is

462
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 4: up and down. As much as James Franklin had a

463
00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,840
Speaker 4: tough time winning big games, Matt Ruhle also has a

464
00:23:14,840 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 4: tough time winning big game. So we'll see which Nebraska

465
00:23:17,080 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: version which version of Nebraska shows up during that week.

466
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 4: But the only thing that you can do at Futury

467
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:25,680
Speaker 4: Smith is just trying to continue to improve the team,

468
00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:29,159
Speaker 4: stick to the things that you believe in. Don't have

469
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: crazy radical changes to the practice schedule of those things.

470
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: Just continue to do what you've always done. If they

471
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:37,120
Speaker 4: do that, they have a chance to have a lot

472
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,840
Speaker 4: of success. But they have to lock in and focus

473
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,040
Speaker 4: on the little things and see if they can kind

474
00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:44,240
Speaker 4: of slowly climb their way out of this rut to

475
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:44,640
Speaker 4: their end.

476
00:23:45,600 --> 00:23:48,400
Speaker 3: I absolutely love Bucky Brooks. You're the voice of reason here.

477
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:50,159
Speaker 3: Thank you so much. I want to talk about some

478
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:55,440
Speaker 3: other big games, some other big matchups from yesterday, number nine,

479
00:23:55,640 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt at Texas, number twenty with Texas winning thirty four

480
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 3: thirty one. Final score there, big win for Texas, And

481
00:24:05,080 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 3: you know, Bucky, I gotta get your.

482
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: Take on this. We're kind of going a little bit

483
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 2: sideways here with arch Manning.

484
00:24:10,920 --> 00:24:15,400
Speaker 3: At the beginning of the year, his expectation was so high.

485
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:16,440
Speaker 2: Was it justified?

486
00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: Maybe?

487
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:18,680
Speaker 2: Was it not justified? Maybe not right?

488
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,400
Speaker 3: Big game against Ohio State, lost against Ohio State, came

489
00:24:23,480 --> 00:24:26,520
Speaker 3: back home and then had a couple you know, as

490
00:24:26,560 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 3: you put cupcake games, right, But during those cupcake games,

491
00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: they were winning games.

492
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 2: But everybody was.

493
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:38,000
Speaker 3: Giving Archie Maning a really hard time even though they

494
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,800
Speaker 3: were winning games, and now a huge win against Vanderbilt

495
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:46,359
Speaker 3: arch Maning going twenty five for thirty three, three hundred

496
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:50,320
Speaker 3: and twenty eight yards and three touchdowns was all the

497
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 3: criticism of arch Manning at the beginning of the year justified.

498
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 3: Was that right that we should have been criticizing even.

499
00:24:58,680 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 2: Those those early the wins were still wins.

500
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,719
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was justified, just because people that hyped him

501
00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 4: up to be something that he hasn't been or something

502
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:12,120
Speaker 4: that he's not. He is. Look, man, he's a solid player.

503
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 4: He does have some NFL potential. But the way that

504
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,000
Speaker 4: he was hailed, or the way that he's been hyped

505
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 4: as a number one overall pick in this draft and

506
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 4: those things, it created a level of expectation when you

507
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,320
Speaker 4: saw him, and he didn't live up and he didn't

508
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 4: perform up to that. And what happened is because he

509
00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 4: underperformed early, people kind of jumped off the wagon. And

510
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 4: then he played some cupcacks late, started to get his

511
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 4: confidence back, and then he has a big game statistically

512
00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: against Vanderbilt. But if you watch that game, I would

513
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:46,560
Speaker 4: say that for all of the things that Archie arch

514
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:49,440
Speaker 4: Manning is, this was a game where the supporting cast

515
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 4: really helped him. A lot of the completions were side

516
00:25:52,880 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 4: to side throws, screen passes, bubble screens, guys breaking tackles,

517
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 4: taking at the distance. There's a throw or two that's

518
00:25:59,560 --> 00:26:03,640
Speaker 4: in there. But on paper the game looks a lot

519
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 4: better than it was. And the only reason I say

520
00:26:05,480 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 4: that it was because I was there at the game

521
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,719
Speaker 4: and watched it, and I would say that it was

522
00:26:10,119 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 4: a lot of high school like plays and concepts that

523
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 4: are side to side, not things that you're asking the

524
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 4: quarterback to do conflex reads in those things.

525
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:24,600
Speaker 2: Yeah.

526
00:26:24,680 --> 00:26:29,359
Speaker 3: I feel like in the SEC, specifically all SEC schools,

527
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:34,360
Speaker 3: there's this standard of beating your opponent by seventy points

528
00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 3: a seventy and nothing score or sixty to eight and

529
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 3: nothing score, and that's ultimately the standard. And you know,

530
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:48,399
Speaker 3: when LSU beat Florida this year at home, Brian Kelly

531
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,360
Speaker 3: got fired up by one of the reporters asking him,

532
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:53,280
Speaker 3: was it, you know, a good large or a good

533
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 3: win wherever he said.

534
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: We wanted against an SEC school? Is that not good enough?

535
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 3: I mean, where's this expectation of these of this SEC

536
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:07,320
Speaker 3: conference being so powerful and they have to win against

537
00:27:07,600 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 3: these opponents?

538
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:09,840
Speaker 2: Seventy sixty eighth and nothing.

539
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,520
Speaker 4: Look, man, I think the standard is high in terms

540
00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,120
Speaker 4: of the performance, what you want to see from your team,

541
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:22,400
Speaker 4: how it feels. The scoreboard is a scoreboard. When Brian

542
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:27,120
Speaker 4: Kelly addressed a reporter like that, he did so kind

543
00:27:27,160 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 4: of being a bully from the pulpit. He has to

544
00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 4: understand the LSU there are high expectations. Those expectations have

545
00:27:32,640 --> 00:27:35,680
Speaker 4: been set going all the way back. You think about

546
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,199
Speaker 4: how they were asked to performing, and they saving how

547
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,840
Speaker 4: they performing in the smile like this is a program

548
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,760
Speaker 4: that they expect to win, and they expect to win

549
00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 4: big because they typically walk in with superior talent to

550
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 4: most teams. And even though it was a close game

551
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 4: and it was a win, for Brian Kelly not to

552
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: at least acknowledge that, hey, you know what, we didn't

553
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 4: bring our best, but we won, he could have funded

554
00:27:57,400 --> 00:28:02,320
Speaker 4: differently in his response as opposed to attacking the reporter

555
00:28:02,359 --> 00:28:05,199
Speaker 4: because to me, it was an unnecessary attack on the reporter.

556
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:07,840
Speaker 2: So you think it was unnecessary day.

557
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:09,960
Speaker 3: I think Brian Kelly felt like he was getting and

558
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,000
Speaker 3: attacked him and his players were getting attacked by the

559
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,520
Speaker 3: reporter by the type of question that he was getting.

560
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,040
Speaker 3: So I see what you're saying, where maybe it was

561
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:21,080
Speaker 3: a justified question. It was actually a good question by

562
00:28:21,119 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 3: the reporter, and maybe he could have just responded differently.

563
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 3: But going back to Texas, they seem to be here

564
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 3: on this winning streak, a win against Oklahoma, a win

565
00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:35,440
Speaker 3: against Kentucky, Mississippi State, and then now Vanderbilt. But they

566
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,560
Speaker 3: got a tough team coming up at Georgia number five.

567
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: I mean, what can we expect here? I think we

568
00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 3: can see some momentum going into this Georgia game.

569
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, I think we'll see some momentum going into

570
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 4: the Georgia game, and it'd be an interesting game because

571
00:28:52,280 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 4: both teams know each other, will they've competed well the

572
00:28:54,800 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: last few years when they've played against each other. Look,

573
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 4: Texas is playing much better, quarterback is playing better. They

574
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,760
Speaker 4: found a way to kind of work around some of

575
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 4: the things that he wasn't doing well early, and that

576
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: gives them a chance. But I'll be honest, I feel

577
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:11,520
Speaker 4: like Georgia is underrated, and they're underrated in terms of

578
00:29:11,560 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: people were so used to seeing this dominant team When

579
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:16,720
Speaker 4: they want a couple of natties, they're used to seeing

580
00:29:16,720 --> 00:29:20,840
Speaker 4: them crush opponents and they're not doing that, but man,

581
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,080
Speaker 4: they're consistently finding a way to the winner circle. This

582
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:25,400
Speaker 4: would be a good one. It'd be a good one

583
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 4: because both of these coaches are to the best in

584
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:27,200
Speaker 4: the game.

585
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think it would be an interesting game to

586
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:31,960
Speaker 3: watch just because I mean, Kirby smart.

587
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:33,640
Speaker 2: He just always finds a way to win.

588
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,760
Speaker 3: And to your point, they're not blowing the teams out

589
00:29:36,960 --> 00:29:39,000
Speaker 3: kind of like what we expect or what we normally

590
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,600
Speaker 3: see from a Georgia game, but they just find the

591
00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:45,480
Speaker 3: ways to win. But now Texas and the Longhorns, they

592
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 3: have momentum coming into this game. They got some confidence,

593
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,640
Speaker 3: as you're saying, going into this game, I think they

594
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:55,080
Speaker 3: can kind of walk in feeling good about themselves and

595
00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 3: really be in a good position to put themselves to

596
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 3: be in a good position to e actually.

597
00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,040
Speaker 2: Win at Georgia. I think this is going to be

598
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:05,320
Speaker 2: a really good game coming up.

599
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,880
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I expect to see that happen. I expect

600
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,400
Speaker 4: to see them compete. I expect to see it be

601
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,840
Speaker 4: a dog fight like they've all been. They've all been

602
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 4: dog fights and this will continue to be one.

603
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,440
Speaker 6: Well.

604
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,920
Speaker 2: I feel like Every SEC game is a dog fight.

605
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 3: Just last night Oklahoma at Tennessee, Oklahoma beating them thirty

606
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 3: three to twenty seven.

607
00:30:24,560 --> 00:30:26,480
Speaker 2: That was a dog fight last night.

608
00:30:26,560 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 3: And I love Matte I absolutely love them at Oklahoma.

609
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:31,920
Speaker 2: I think he's doing a great job.

610
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, the quarterback came back. Quarterback's doing a really good job.

611
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 4: Inevitable and found something in Jeo Materior. They've been able

612
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:40,880
Speaker 4: to run the ball effective lead, They're throwing it on

613
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 4: the perimeter. Defensive league. They were able to get after

614
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 4: it because that Tennessee. Tennessee offense is one that is

615
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,520
Speaker 4: hard to deal with because of the way they stress

616
00:30:49,560 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 4: you with their wide alignments and splits and how they're

617
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 4: running that vertical passing game to compliment the run game.

618
00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:59,040
Speaker 4: It's up. Oklahoma showed up. They've been solid for most

619
00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,520
Speaker 4: of the year. Big win for Benables, he needed it.

620
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, they have been solid for the year. And I

621
00:31:05,760 --> 00:31:07,480
Speaker 2: like Okaham. I like to school. I liked the program,

622
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:09,240
Speaker 2: but I loved to Tennessee as well.

623
00:31:09,520 --> 00:31:17,360
Speaker 3: Another team taken to l yesterday was Miami or at SMU.

624
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,040
Speaker 2: Miami really started off hot and then.

625
00:31:20,760 --> 00:31:22,840
Speaker 3: A loss here and a loss there. I mean, what

626
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:24,880
Speaker 3: can we expect with Miami for the rest of the year.

627
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:25,400
Speaker 2: What do you think.

628
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 4: I don't know, man, they don't finish well. I saw

629
00:31:28,680 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 4: some stad about their reckon in November. It's been terrible.

630
00:31:31,720 --> 00:31:34,160
Speaker 4: I mean, they just have had a tough time winning

631
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,520
Speaker 4: games down the stretch. On the Mario crystal Ball and

632
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 4: Camber the understanding because you think about the talent, you

633
00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 4: think about what the you has traditionally represented when it

634
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 4: comes to toughness and tenacity. Surprising to see them fail

635
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 4: to close out games and seasons in a way that

636
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: we used to see Miami do. So this is one

637
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,280
Speaker 4: where Mario cris Ball is gonna have to go back

638
00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:56,960
Speaker 4: to the drawing board, go back to the work, see

639
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 4: if he can inspire his troops to do it. But

640
00:31:59,520 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: I'll say right now, a team that was expected to

641
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 4: be a national contender, potentially he's on the outside looking

642
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:07,600
Speaker 4: in when it comes to the playoff.

643
00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 2: Absolutely.

644
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,520

00:32:32,600 --> 00:32:36,719
Speaker 3: because it's Ask Bucky next. We're live from Fox Sports

Speaker 3: Radio Studios. Ask Bucky coming right up. Alex Ferman in

00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:44,560
Speaker 3: for my dad Andy Furman. Of course, Bucky Brooks with us. Brie,

658
00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 3: do we have any questions for Bucky?

659
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:49,920
Speaker 8: So nothing from the listeners.

660
00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 5: I think everybody is just a little getting off that

661
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,440
Speaker 5: World Series kind of hangover, possibly because the World Series

662
00:32:55,480 --> 00:32:58,360
Speaker 5: from last night. So I'll go ahead and go because

663
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 5: I have a few So Bucky Geon Sanders wouldn't let

664
00:33:03,760 --> 00:33:08,040
Speaker 5: players talk to the press. The Buffalos are now three

665
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:10,680
Speaker 5: and six on the season. They lost fifty two to

666
00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 5: seventeen yesterday after losing fifty three to seven to Utah

667
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:16,400
Speaker 5: last week.

668
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,800
Speaker 8: So he told reporters, no one will be available tonight.

669
00:33:18,840 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 8: It's on me. Don't attack the coordinators, come at me.

670
00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 5: Do you think that was the right approach after two really,

671
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 5: really really bad losses.

672
00:33:28,440 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 4: Look, at some point they have to talk to the media.

673
00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 4: I understand him wanted to put a shield up to

674
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 4: protect all the kids, and look, that's admirable, But at

675
00:33:38,320 --> 00:33:40,000
Speaker 4: some point you want to hear from the players. What's

676
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,240
Speaker 4: going on. The last two times you guys have gone out,

677
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 4: you've given up fifty plus points. You haven't been very competitive,

678
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:49,440
Speaker 4: Like what's happening? And so Dean can answer for a

679
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:53,080
Speaker 4: lot of those things. But because as a journalist's media member,

680
00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 4: you want to hear from the players, because they gonn

681
00:33:54,600 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 4: to tell you what's going on inside out. At some

682
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 4: point they need to talk. So I would say, let

683
00:33:58,720 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 4: the players stop.

684
00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,320
Speaker 2: Well what about this? What about this?

685
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 3: Shaquille O'Neil's custom range Rover was stolen in transport, Bucky.

686
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:07,720
Speaker 2: How the heck does that happen?

687
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:10,720
Speaker 4: I mean, look, yeah, they ask the criminals to thieves.

688
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,080
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know how they figured out

689
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:16,799
Speaker 4: how they took his truck. When it says in transport,

690
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,680
Speaker 4: to me, it means that he probably had his truck

691
00:34:19,719 --> 00:34:22,799
Speaker 4: on a flatbed and somehow along the way they were

692
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,480
Speaker 4: able to get the truck off the flatbed. That shouldn't

693
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 4: happen when you're transporting a truck across the country. But

694
00:34:29,560 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 4: stranger things have happened, and obviously he is a victim.

695
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:38,400
Speaker 5: Okay, Bucky, who has the defensive advantage? Between the Broncos

696
00:34:38,440 --> 00:34:41,520
Speaker 5: and the Texans on Sunday, they're going in with the

697
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 5: two of the top defenses in the league.

698
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,960
Speaker 8: Who do you think is gonna come out ahead?

699
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:50,240
Speaker 4: Look, the Broncos defense is real, and it's real because

700
00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:52,960
Speaker 4: they have talent everywhere. They have talent up front, they

701
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:57,200
Speaker 4: can get after it. You think about the guys the

702
00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 4: way they are able to rush on the Vance Show.

703
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 4: So they gonna bring p sure. I mean then they

704
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 4: played manned man in the back end, which makes it

705
00:35:02,719 --> 00:35:05,799
Speaker 4: very very difficult. The Texans are a little different. They're

706
00:35:05,880 --> 00:35:10,440
Speaker 4: very aggressive, hyper aggressive, but they play some match zone coverage.

707
00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:12,719
Speaker 4: It's just a really good matchup. But I would lean

708
00:35:12,800 --> 00:35:16,000
Speaker 4: towards the Denver Broncos because last year they were closed

709
00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,520
Speaker 4: to getting the sack record. This year down pace to

710
00:35:18,560 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 4: eclipse it. They're dominant defense. That looks really fun to watch.

711
00:35:22,760 --> 00:35:23,440
Speaker 2: All right, Bucky.

712
00:35:23,520 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 3: You know it seems right now that college coaches are

713
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 3: getting bigger paychecks than the NFL, but their buyouts are

714
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:30,200
Speaker 3: even bigger.

715
00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 2: I mean, we just talked about LSU fifty.

716
00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:36,320
Speaker 3: Four million, twenty one million for Billion Naper at Florida,

717
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: fifteen million for Mike Granny at Oklahoma State. I mean,

718
00:35:40,080 --> 00:35:42,760
Speaker 3: why is this happening? How are they getting all these

719
00:35:43,160 --> 00:35:44,200
Speaker 3: big payouts?

720
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,799
Speaker 4: I mean, look, you're bringing in people from the outside,

721
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 4: like you're bringing in your boosters and donors and collectors,

722
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,120
Speaker 4: and they're pitching in to make sure that you can

723
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:56,239
Speaker 4: attract the best coaches and also the best players. The

724
00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 4: problem when you do that is you raise the expectations,

725
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 4: which is the pressure when you take those jobs. So

726
00:36:02,360 --> 00:36:05,160
Speaker 4: any prospective coach that is thinking about taking those jobs,

727
00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 4: he has to know what he's stepping into. He's stepping

728
00:36:07,440 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 4: into a frying pan, and it's gonna get hotter from

729
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 4: the first day you get in there. The expectation is

730
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 4: to win, to win right away and keep on winning,

731
00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,440
Speaker 4: which is very, very difficult to do in the current landscape.

732
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:20,520
Speaker 5: All Right, so the Dolphins are unlikely to trade at

733
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,680
Speaker 5: Jalen Waddle at the deadline. Do you think there's anything

734
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,279
Speaker 5: the Dolphins can do to not Obviously they're not going

735
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 5: to turn their whole season around, like that's they're done,

736
00:36:29,120 --> 00:36:31,520
Speaker 5: they're cooked. But is there anything they can do to

737
00:36:31,600 --> 00:36:33,279
Speaker 5: kind of get a jumpstart on next year.

738
00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 8: On like the rebuilding side.

739
00:36:34,920 --> 00:36:39,080
Speaker 4: Maybe it's really hard because it's hard to start a

740
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,160
Speaker 4: rebuilding process without the coach in place. If you're going

741
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,399
Speaker 4: move on from Mike McDaniel, what you hope is they've

742
00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:48,200
Speaker 4: been competitive in games and he still has the team

743
00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 4: playing hard, but he has to kind of turn that

744
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 4: into wins. I mean, we can talk about the field,

745
00:36:52,560 --> 00:36:54,160
Speaker 4: good story and those things, but he has to turn

746
00:36:54,200 --> 00:36:56,759
Speaker 4: it into win. That means getting your quarterback to play better.

747
00:36:56,800 --> 00:36:58,319
Speaker 4: To a tug of a lawyer's turned the ball over

748
00:36:58,400 --> 00:37:02,360
Speaker 4: too much, hasn't played well, to get the perimeter weapons

749
00:37:02,400 --> 00:37:04,719
Speaker 4: to play at the level that can support the quarterback,

750
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 4: and then defensively, they still need to up their game.

751
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 4: So this has to be a thing where it's not

752
00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,080
Speaker 4: gonna be the personnel. It has to be the people

753
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:15,200
Speaker 4: that you already have. You can't swap away people and

754
00:37:15,239 --> 00:37:17,000
Speaker 4: make it better. You have to find a way to

755
00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,680
Speaker 4: make the team that you currently have perform better. And

756
00:37:19,719 --> 00:37:20,839
Speaker 4: that starts on the practice field.

757
00:37:20,840 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 2: Okay, Bucky, I got a question for you. The NCAA.

758
00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 3: They want to prohibit or college athletes from betting in

759
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 3: professional sports, and I have a really strong take on this.

760
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:33,920
Speaker 3: But I have to ask you, why is this even

761
00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:35,480
Speaker 3: a topic of discussion.

762
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:39,160
Speaker 2: Why are they even considering this. It shouldn't be at all.

763
00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 2: It should be banned.

764
00:37:40,040 --> 00:37:42,480
Speaker 4: Of course it should be. But I think what's happening

765
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:46,200
Speaker 4: is the ease of access to players has made it

766
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:48,719
Speaker 4: one of those things where they feel bad because as

767
00:37:48,760 --> 00:37:52,880
Speaker 4: more people are taking in the money from the gambling sites,

768
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 4: casinos and those things, it makes the line gray. And

769
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,520
Speaker 4: because so many of the kids have been participating in

770
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:02,880
Speaker 4: this gambling, even though some of them are but also

771
00:38:03,000 --> 00:38:06,600
Speaker 4: fantasy football, it's a really easy transition from them to

772
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 4: go to fantasy football, the daily fantasy, to oh, let

773
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 4: me just start wagering games. I don't believe that players

774
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,759
Speaker 4: should be allowed to bet, because eventually, I think they're

775
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 4: too easy to get to from people who have bad intentions.

776
00:38:19,200 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 4: I would prefer to clean it up and not allow

777
00:38:21,360 --> 00:38:23,160
Speaker 4: them to do it, so you can kind of keep

778
00:38:23,160 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 4: the integrity of the game.

779
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,880
Speaker 3: Right Well, that's my biggest question right there, is the

780
00:38:26,920 --> 00:38:29,560
Speaker 3: integrity of the game. And I think you know, money

781
00:38:29,640 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 3: ruins all everything, of course, and once money is introduced,

782
00:38:33,120 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 3: then people start swaying one way or the another and

783
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:38,280
Speaker 3: there's questions being asked, well, did he drop the pass?

784
00:38:38,400 --> 00:38:40,239
Speaker 3: Do you know so you didn't cover or whatever that

785
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 3: may be. I just I hate I love what gambling

786
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:46,319
Speaker 3: did do for for the sports, betting for sports. I

787
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 3: love what it has done, But there is the slippery slope.

788
00:38:50,200 --> 00:38:53,359
Speaker 3: And when I say slippery slope, Bucky, it's slippery all

789
00:38:53,360 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 3: the way down to the bottom. It's very problematic in

790
00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:57,200
Speaker 3: my opinion though.

791
00:38:57,280 --> 00:38:59,480
Speaker 4: Ah, yes, the slippery slope when you engage in that,

792
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:01,600
Speaker 4: like when you bring that in. Yeah, you're getting some

793
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 4: CD characters, You're getting some things that you don't want.

794
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:07,400
Speaker 4: But you have to make a decision. Do I want

795
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 4: the money and compromise the integrity or do I want

796
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,960
Speaker 4: to lose the money but keep the game intact from

797
00:39:14,000 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 4: an integrity standpoint. Those are decisions that the presidents in

798
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 4: ads have to make. I would just lean towards not

799
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 4: allowing betting to come in, yeah.

800
00:39:21,160 --> 00:39:23,319
Speaker 2: One hundred percent. And it's going to be hard to

801
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:24,080
Speaker 2: even regulate it.

802
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,080
Speaker 3: Who's going to keep an eye on every college college

803
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:30,400
Speaker 3: athlete making sure they're not betting professionally or even making

804
00:39:30,520 --> 00:39:31,600
Speaker 3: side bets whatever it may be.

805
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 2: It's too hard to keep in check.

806
00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:36,600
Speaker 4: It is now the thing that they will tell you

807
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:40,000
Speaker 4: they can monitor all those things to the sports books,

808
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:42,240
Speaker 4: will keep them up to date on when they feel

809
00:39:42,239 --> 00:39:46,279
Speaker 4: like people are involving themselves in the game that shouldn't be,

810
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:49,120
Speaker 4: which are the players betting themselves and fixing the results.

811
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:52,239
Speaker 4: But yeah, it's hard to corral all of it, and

812
00:39:52,239 --> 00:39:54,280
Speaker 4: that's why they shouldn't even try to them. Yeah.

813

Speaker 3: Absolutely, he's Bucky Brooks. I'm Alex Ferman. Get at Bucky Brooks.

830
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:52,799
Speaker 3: I want to switch gears now to the NFL. The

831
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 3: Ravens are hanging on for dear life right now with

832
00:40:56,120 --> 00:41:00,760
Speaker 3: Lamarge's injury injury. They beat the Bears last week thirty

833
00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,279
Speaker 3: to sixteen, and they put a pretty good show for

834
00:41:04,360 --> 00:41:07,440
Speaker 3: us this past Thursday in Miami with the twenty eight

835
00:41:07,560 --> 00:41:09,640
Speaker 3: to six win over the Dolphins.

836
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,760
Speaker 2: But there was no fun in the locker room.

837
00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:16,520
Speaker 3: Why because Lamar took out the ping pong table, the

838
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,200
Speaker 3: video games if you could, he was going.

839
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,040
Speaker 2: To take off the TVs off the wall. Bri do

840
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:23,239
Speaker 2: we what did Lamar say?

841
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:28,000
Speaker 9: I told Knico I had equipment, don told him and

842
00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 9: take all the games ping pong to turn the.

843
00:41:31,160 --> 00:41:33,400
Speaker 4: TVs off, and we could have taken the TVs out.

844
00:41:33,400 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 4: It wud have been on too.

845
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 9: But I appreciate missus Steven putting out nfus, you know,

846
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:41,160
Speaker 9: but yeah, we had to focus that. I wouldn't say

847
00:41:41,160 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 9: people don't take the jobs here and don't get your own,

848
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 9: but like I didn't feel like O the time flat

849
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:48,440
Speaker 9: you know you got you got a lot of room.

850
00:41:48,760 --> 00:41:50,960
Speaker 2: So so Bucky I had to ask you, does.

851
00:41:50,840 --> 00:41:53,480
Speaker 3: It really make a difference getting rid of all these

852
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 3: things in the locker room.

853
00:41:55,760 --> 00:41:59,759
Speaker 4: It makes a difference in terms of just the focus right,

854
00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:02,839
Speaker 4: showing people that he it's a place of work, we

855
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 4: need to come get our business done and not goof off.

856
00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,479
Speaker 4: So I do understand that. I actually appreciate Lamar being

857
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:13,880
Speaker 4: the one that was the leader for that, because sometimes

858
00:42:13,880 --> 00:42:16,719
Speaker 4: you do have to get guys in check and get

859
00:42:16,760 --> 00:42:19,640
Speaker 4: them to understand what they're up against and what they're doing.

860
00:42:19,960 --> 00:42:23,280
Speaker 4: And when Lamar takes charge and does that, then everyone

861
00:42:23,280 --> 00:42:26,279
Speaker 4: else is going to follow suit. So look, good job

862
00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,239
Speaker 4: by him. He should be applauded for taking care of

863
00:42:29,280 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 4: that because it's a big deal, like they hadn't played

864
00:42:31,360 --> 00:42:33,680
Speaker 4: well and those things, and so when you're not playing well,

865
00:42:33,680 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 4: you want to make sure that everyone's focus is on

866
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,920
Speaker 4: the right stuff and that that stuff is about Hey,

867
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,480
Speaker 4: let's make sure we're on the details in the meeting room.

868
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 4: Let's make sure we're doing everything we can in the

869
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:45,319
Speaker 4: weight room and then on the practice field to put

870
00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 4: us as a position to win the game on Sundays.

871
00:42:48,160 --> 00:42:51,080
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I absolutely agree, And I want to compare

872
00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 3: what Lamar is doing with the Ravens versus kind of

873
00:42:54,600 --> 00:42:58,479
Speaker 3: what Tua did in his comments a couple weeks ago.

874
00:42:58,520 --> 00:43:01,320
Speaker 3: And if you don't remember, Tua like was kind of

875
00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:04,120
Speaker 3: pointing the finger. You know, he's pointing out the guys

876
00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,839
Speaker 3: who's not showing up for meetings, or he's pointing out

877
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 3: things that are happening, you know, in the locker room.

878
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:13,680
Speaker 3: But you know, when I played football in high school

879
00:43:13,760 --> 00:43:17,080
Speaker 3: a little bit in college, the quarterback was essentially the

880
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,320
Speaker 3: leader of the team.

881
00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:21,440
Speaker 2: And we can see a clear difference.

882
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:24,400
Speaker 3: Between, at least in my eyes, Buckey, a clear difference

883
00:43:24,440 --> 00:43:27,719
Speaker 3: between what Tula was doing a couple of weeks ago versus.

884
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:29,160
Speaker 2: What Lamar is doing now.

885
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:31,879
Speaker 3: Now, obviously both teams kind of they need to turn

886
00:43:31,880 --> 00:43:34,160
Speaker 3: the ship around a little bit, right Miami more than

887
00:43:34,840 --> 00:43:37,440
Speaker 3: the Ravens, But the two leaders on the team, the

888
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:41,280
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks on the team, are taking two very different approaches.

889
00:43:41,320 --> 00:43:44,120
Speaker 2: It seems that mostly Tua was his kind of pointing.

890
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:47,680
Speaker 3: Fingers and he wasn't really stepping up as a leader

891
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:50,759
Speaker 3: on the team. But with Lamar, it looks like he's

892
00:43:50,840 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 3: taking the necessary steps in his mind, at least the

893
00:43:54,680 --> 00:43:57,960
Speaker 3: necessary steps to try and turn the season around.

894
00:43:57,960 --> 00:44:00,360
Speaker 2: And to your point that's getting rid of the actions

895
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:02,000
Speaker 2: in the locker room. I mean, what do you think

896
00:44:02,280 --> 00:44:06,400
Speaker 2: is that? Like, is that the right approach or what

897
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:07,720
Speaker 2: could have Tua done differently?

898
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:11,520
Speaker 4: I guess no. I mean, look, I actually think it

899
00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:16,480
Speaker 4: is the right approach. I think with Lamar Lamar stepping up,

900
00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,960
Speaker 4: and because he's so well respected by his teammates, they're

901
00:44:18,960 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 4: gonna listen and heat that. And they also have some

902
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 4: other vets in that locker room that are going to

903
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:27,640
Speaker 4: make sure those messages are passed down with Tua. I

904
00:44:27,680 --> 00:44:30,480
Speaker 4: don't like Tua throwing guys under the bus. And I

905
00:44:30,560 --> 00:44:33,880
Speaker 4: do know that that culture has been a little wonky

906
00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 4: under Mike McDaniel's in terms of the accountability in those things.

907
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:40,040
Speaker 4: And Tua comes from a very structured program in Alabama,

908
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:43,400
Speaker 4: so he understands what it should look like. That's it.

909
00:44:43,600 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 4: He cannot point fingers at his teammates, he cannot allow

910
00:44:48,239 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 4: the media to know family business. And he must do

911
00:44:51,480 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 4: a better job as the leader of protecting the team.

912
00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:55,239
Speaker 4: He didn't protect the team in that.

913
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:57,560
Speaker 2: Instance, no, absolutely.

914
00:44:57,640 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 3: And the guys playing with Tua, the guy I was

915
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:03,719
Speaker 3: playing for Tua, his offensive line, his his wide receivers,

916
00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,799
Speaker 3: his everyone a part of the offense, even the whole team, because,

917
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:09,920
Speaker 3: like I said before, the quarterback is the leader of

918
00:45:09,960 --> 00:45:14,560
Speaker 3: the team, whether they're nominated, whether they're it just is.

919
00:45:14,560 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 3: The quarterback is the leader of the team. And to

920
00:45:16,960 --> 00:45:18,640
Speaker 3: your point, you can't throw your.

921
00:45:18,480 --> 00:45:20,920
Speaker 2: Guys underneath the bus. You can't be pointing the fingers.

922
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,720
Speaker 2: You can't be saying, uh, you're doing everything wrong.

923
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,439
Speaker 3: It's you gotta look inward, you guys, say what can

924
00:45:27,560 --> 00:45:30,880
Speaker 3: I do to change the dynamic of the team.

925
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:33,200
Speaker 2: And if the culture is so.

926
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 3: I hate to say the word toxic, but toxic, then

927
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:43,279
Speaker 3: it's the quarterback's position to change that, to change it

928
00:45:43,320 --> 00:45:47,120
Speaker 3: around and to build a better culture in the locker room.

929
00:45:47,320 --> 00:45:50,840
Speaker 3: And certainly two us not doing that by pointing fingers

930
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,759
Speaker 3: and going to the media and pointing fingers as teammates.

931
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 4: No, he's not doing that, and it's disappointing. And that's

932
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:03,120
Speaker 4: loser mental and culture when you have those kinds of

933
00:46:03,120 --> 00:46:06,600
Speaker 4: things that are created when you are not willing to

934
00:46:06,680 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 4: hold yourself accountable for the missteps and the actions that

935
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:12,560
Speaker 4: are leading to losses, but you're quick to point to

936
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 4: other people, that's losing behavior. You won't turn the thing around.

937
00:46:15,880 --> 00:46:20,680
Speaker 4: Into everyone is accountable for their own performance, their preparation,

938
00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:23,120
Speaker 4: their process, and those things. So you would like to

939
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,600
Speaker 4: see to own up to his part of it, encourage

940
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:29,800
Speaker 4: his guys to get on the same page, not publicly

941
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,920
Speaker 4: but privately, and then just try and have this team

942
00:46:34,040 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 4: get back on track, because the only way that you

943
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: can get back on track is you got to dig

944
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 4: yourself out of the hole. And they're just in too

945
00:46:39,120 --> 00:46:40,040
Speaker 4: big of a hole right now.

946
00:46:40,800 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 2: They're in a huge hole right now.

947
00:46:42,480 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 3: And you know, Bucky, I have to ask, you know, Miami,

948
00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:50,240
Speaker 3: they are in trouble, and Miami's longtime GM, Chris Grayer,

949
00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:53,680
Speaker 3: decided usually both of them decided usually to separate after

950
00:46:53,719 --> 00:46:56,399
Speaker 3: the bad loss against the Ravens. And some people say

951
00:46:56,440 --> 00:46:58,560
Speaker 3: the problem with Miami, you know, maybe it is the

952
00:46:58,680 --> 00:47:02,120
Speaker 3: lack of leadership, whether that's coming from TUA or whether

953
00:47:02,200 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 3: that's coming from the coaching staff or even the front office.

954
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:07,440
Speaker 2: There's you know, maybe.

955
00:47:07,280 --> 00:47:09,319
Speaker 3: A lack of coaching or maybe just a lack of

956
00:47:09,440 --> 00:47:11,600
Speaker 3: talent on the team as a whole.

957
00:47:11,680 --> 00:47:15,360
Speaker 2: I mean, in your eyes, really, what does Miami need.

958
00:47:15,239 --> 00:47:18,120
Speaker 3: To do to turn the ship around maybe this year

959
00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,160
Speaker 3: to just kind of save themselves.

960
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:22,560
Speaker 4: I don't know what they can do this year. I

961
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 4: can say what needs to be done in Miami is

962
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,480
Speaker 4: they probably need to pull a page from the Miami

963
00:47:28,520 --> 00:47:34,399
Speaker 4: Heat and have a harder, more discipline and detailed program.

964
00:47:34,880 --> 00:47:38,200
Speaker 4: Meaning in Miami, everyone talks about heat culture, Everyone talks

965
00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:41,759
Speaker 4: about the things that pat Riley does to keep the

966
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:44,960
Speaker 4: team in chuck check in terms of the conditioning, district

967
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:48,520
Speaker 4: standards and all that. In Miami, because the city has

968
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:52,120
Speaker 4: so many distractions and the trappings of life, you have

969
00:47:52,239 --> 00:47:57,000
Speaker 4: to have a harder, more rigid program to make sure

970
00:47:57,040 --> 00:48:00,200
Speaker 4: that guys are focused. If it's lacks, if it is

971
00:48:01,920 --> 00:48:04,560
Speaker 4: not as Look, we don't put our thumb on the players,

972
00:48:04,760 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 4: the players who can go and engage in things that's

973
00:48:06,640 --> 00:48:08,680
Speaker 4: going to prevent them from playing at their best on

974
00:48:08,719 --> 00:48:10,880
Speaker 4: the field. So to me, it's not an X and

975
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:13,879
Speaker 4: those things. As a culture, it's an environment thing. They

976
00:48:13,920 --> 00:48:17,000
Speaker 4: have to kind of try and create a blue collar

977
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 4: environment within a city that is full of bright lights

978
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 4: and big stuff.

979
00:48:22,320 --> 00:48:24,319
Speaker 2: Okay, and then where does that pressure come from?

980
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,000
Speaker 3: I mean, does that pressure come from the GM, does

981
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 3: that pressure come from the coaching staff, does it come

982
00:48:30,200 --> 00:48:32,920
Speaker 3: from the players, like you know, to a stepping up

983
00:48:32,920 --> 00:48:35,760
Speaker 3: and putting that pressure against their own against his own players.

984
00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 3: I mean, really, ultimately, who does that fall underneath? Whose

985
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:40,280
Speaker 3: responsibility is that.

986
00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,839
Speaker 4: It starts at the top, So it starts at the

987
00:48:43,840 --> 00:48:46,160
Speaker 4: top one with ownership saying this is the type of

988
00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:49,080
Speaker 4: team that I want, not X and o's wise, but look,

989
00:48:49,080 --> 00:48:53,359
Speaker 4: I want our football operation to have these things that

990
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:56,640
Speaker 4: I care deeply about. Dennis on the general managing the

991
00:48:56,680 --> 00:48:59,160
Speaker 4: head coach to make sure that they want to and

992
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:02,279
Speaker 4: locks it own ship to they create the kind of

993
00:49:02,280 --> 00:49:05,839
Speaker 4: structure in detail that will foster and create the kind

994
00:49:05,880 --> 00:49:08,399
Speaker 4: of team that the owner envisions. And then when you're

995
00:49:08,440 --> 00:49:10,640
Speaker 4: the head coach, it has to be in your vision,

996
00:49:11,120 --> 00:49:13,200
Speaker 4: meaning you know, I want the ex'es and o's to

997
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:15,480
Speaker 4: play a certain way. I want the discipline to be

998
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:18,000
Speaker 4: a certain way, but it has to be complete alignment

999
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:20,720
Speaker 4: from top to bottom. Everyone has to be on board

1000
00:49:20,719 --> 00:49:23,560
Speaker 4: and the players have to be responsible enough, mature enough

1001
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 4: to carry out the wishes of the coach and police themselves,

1002
00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,520
Speaker 4: hold each other accountable because ultimately, if you want to win,

1003
00:49:30,600 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 4: it's not just a coach driven thing. Everyone has to

1004
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,680
Speaker 4: be involved in creating a winning environment.

1005
00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,600
Speaker 3: You know, I always say I hate when they get

1006
00:49:39,719 --> 00:49:42,480
Speaker 3: rid of a coach midseason because to me, it doesn't

1007
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,040
Speaker 3: really do anything for the team. And you know, we

1008
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,200
Speaker 3: asked this question before, but to me, you know, it

1009
00:49:47,239 --> 00:49:51,719
Speaker 3: creates chaos. There's no loses direction of the team. And

1010
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:54,439
Speaker 3: to me, it's just like everyone's saying, well, this year

1011
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,880
Speaker 3: was a flop. You know, we'll just go out the

1012
00:49:56,880 --> 00:50:00,600
Speaker 3: rest of the season and just hope for the next year.

1013
00:50:00,600 --> 00:50:03,319
Speaker 2: We'll try to rebuild next year. But for me in

1014
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:09,120
Speaker 2: Miami and Dolphins Mike McDaniel, I mean, to me, I

1015
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:12,480
Speaker 2: just wonder why the heck is he still coaching.

1016
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 3: It just seems like he's just so nonchalant about everything.

1017
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,279
Speaker 3: I mean, on Thursday he had a couple of bright

1018
00:50:19,320 --> 00:50:21,439
Speaker 3: eye moments like come on, guys, what are we doing?

1019
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:24,080
Speaker 2: But I mean a little too late, don't you think.

1020
00:50:25,480 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 4: I mean, look, it is what it is. His coaching

1021
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,880
Speaker 4: style is the same coaching style that led him to

1022
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:32,360
Speaker 4: have success early. The thing that you have to do

1023
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:35,359
Speaker 4: is within that coaching style where people will say he's

1024
00:50:35,360 --> 00:50:37,040
Speaker 4: a player's coach, I won't say that he just has

1025
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:40,920
Speaker 4: a laidback demeanor. I'll say within that he has to

1026
00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,319
Speaker 4: have enough guys on the coaching staff that are the

1027
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 4: backops that can believe the behavior in the locker room.

1028
00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:49,000
Speaker 4: He also has to make it very very clear here

1029
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:53,760
Speaker 4: my expectations and when people violate the expectations, their consequences,

1030
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 4: because it's not only holding those people responsible and set

1031
00:50:56,960 --> 00:51:00,920
Speaker 4: in the stage and the standard for everyone else to know, Oh,

1032
00:51:00,960 --> 00:51:03,400
Speaker 4: if I mess around, these are the consequences that happened

1033
00:51:03,440 --> 00:51:05,960
Speaker 4: to me. And when he does that, it allows the

1034
00:51:06,040 --> 00:51:11,879
Speaker 4: team to then begin to operate business as usual. Hey,

1035
00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:13,600
Speaker 4: this is how we operate. We go about our business.

1036
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:15,080
Speaker 4: We take care of business. We can have fun, but

1037
00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,960
Speaker 4: until we take care of business, there's no fun allowed.

1038
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:20,320
Speaker 4: That's how it has to operate. That's how most teams operate.

1039
00:51:20,920 --> 00:51:24,479
Speaker 3: Well, the Lamar is definitely taking you know, things into

1040
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:26,560
Speaker 3: his hands and make sure that they're taking the fun

1041
00:51:26,640 --> 00:51:29,239
Speaker 3: away and they're getting their head screwed on right and

1042
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:29,719
Speaker 3: going back.

1043
00:51:29,719 --> 00:51:32,000
Speaker 2: And you're talking a little bit more about the Ravens.

1044
00:51:32,040 --> 00:51:35,440
Speaker 3: Now that Lamar's healthy, you know, his health is very

1045
00:51:35,480 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 3: important both for the Ravens and for my fantasy team.

1046
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:42,280
Speaker 3: But you know, I think the Ravens are in prime

1047
00:51:42,600 --> 00:51:44,759
Speaker 3: condition to take control of the AFC North.

1048
00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:46,839
Speaker 2: Now the Bengals are three and five.

1049
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,080
Speaker 3: With last week's embarrassing loss and the Steelers, they lost

1050
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:54,439
Speaker 3: the Green Bay and the Browns, they're essentially another bye

1051
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:56,319
Speaker 3: week for any team that's going to play them. I

1052
00:51:56,400 --> 00:51:59,640
Speaker 3: really think the Ravens still have a chance to take

1053
00:51:59,760 --> 00:52:01,800
Speaker 3: on the AFC and North Division.

1054
00:52:02,160 --> 00:52:05,759
Speaker 4: What do you think? Yeah, the schedule says uth for them.

1055
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:08,880
Speaker 4: They had a tough schedule to begin But the thing is,

1056
00:52:09,280 --> 00:52:12,920
Speaker 4: no one, none of their competitors, the division rivals sees

1057
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:15,520
Speaker 4: control of the division. The Pittsburgh still has had a

1058
00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 4: chance to do it, but then they drop two games

1059
00:52:17,239 --> 00:52:19,279
Speaker 4: back to back, and now the Ravens are right where

1060
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:20,920
Speaker 4: they need to be in terms of being able to

1061
00:52:20,960 --> 00:52:25,360
Speaker 4: get into position to swap to swipe the division crown.

1062
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,560
Speaker 4: The Ravens have to continue to play better. They play

1063
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 4: better on defense against the Miami Dolphins. We'll see if

1064
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:33,520
Speaker 4: that is then playing better or the Dolphins being atrocious

1065
00:52:33,560 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 4: on offense. And then Lamar Jackson coming back solves a

1066
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,280
Speaker 4: lot of their offensive issues, not only as a passer

1067
00:52:39,320 --> 00:52:42,160
Speaker 4: because he's been one of the more efficient passers this season,

1068
00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 4: but his playmaking ability as a runner. It enhances what

1069
00:52:45,120 --> 00:52:47,600
Speaker 4: they have with King Henry. It just allows them to

1070
00:52:47,600 --> 00:52:50,000
Speaker 4: control the game in a different manner, and if they

1071
00:52:50,000 --> 00:52:53,160
Speaker 4: are playing good, complimentary football, they're going to be a

1072
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 4: tough team to beat. I sense that they're getting back

1073
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,239
Speaker 4: to that, but they need to continue to stack the

1074
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:01,120
Speaker 4: dubs on top of each other to confirm that and

1075
00:53:01,160 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 4: to eventually be a team that can steal the division

1076
00:53:03,520 --> 00:53:04,919
Speaker 4: in the end. Yeah.

1077
00:53:05,000 --> 00:53:07,200
Speaker 2: No, I sense that too. That their offense, it seems

1078
00:53:07,280 --> 00:53:09,920
Speaker 2: like we're firing on all cylinders. The running game was hot,

1079
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 2: Lamar looked great.

1080
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:14,080
Speaker 3: Their next couple of games here they got the Vikings,

1081
00:53:14,120 --> 00:53:17,080
Speaker 3: the Browns, the Jets, and the Bengals and then the Steelers.

1082
00:53:17,080 --> 00:53:21,760
Speaker 3: That's the next five games. Vikings might be a formable opponent.

1083
00:53:21,800 --> 00:53:23,239
Speaker 3: They're kind of been kind of like an up and

1084
00:53:23,280 --> 00:53:27,200
Speaker 3: down season this year. The Viking or the Browns definite win,

1085
00:53:27,320 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 3: The Jets I think a definite win, The Bengals, I

1086
00:53:30,640 --> 00:53:33,239
Speaker 3: think a definite win, and then the Steelers. So to

1087
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 3: your point, I mean the next couple of games.

1088
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:37,319
Speaker 2: I think they're in.

1089
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,799
Speaker 3: Really good position to take control of the division and

1090
00:53:40,880 --> 00:53:42,560
Speaker 3: come out on top by the end of the season.

1091
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:45,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean a great position to do it. It's

1092
00:53:45,719 --> 00:53:48,560
Speaker 4: about finishing the deal. They have all the things right

1093
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:50,279
Speaker 4: in front of them. They have to just make sure

1094
00:53:50,280 --> 00:53:52,880
Speaker 4: that they play well and it's about building upon what

1095
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,120
Speaker 4: they displayed. If they build upon the performance today had

1096
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,200
Speaker 4: on Thursday, have another good week of practice in another

1097
00:53:58,239 --> 00:54:01,080
Speaker 4: game next week where they play to the standard, Yeah,

1098
00:54:01,120 --> 00:54:03,239
Speaker 4: they absolutely have an opportunity to get back into the

1099
00:54:03,320 --> 00:54:04,440
Speaker 4: race and to win the division.

1100
00:54:05,600 --> 00:54:08,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, and absolutely And with Lamar now hopefully he's as

1101
00:54:08,719 --> 00:54:10,799
Speaker 3: healthy as he You probably get a little bit more

1102
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:15,000
Speaker 3: healthier as the as the season progresses. But it seems

1103
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 3: a little bit maybe in the in the beginning of

1104
00:54:16,800 --> 00:54:19,480
Speaker 3: the year, they just weren't clicking on all cylinders, the

1105
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,719
Speaker 3: offense and even the little bit of the defense. But

1106
00:54:21,840 --> 00:54:25,120
Speaker 3: now it seems like they figured everything out and maybe

1107
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:27,680
Speaker 3: everything everyone's kind of calmed down a little bit.

1108
00:54:27,680 --> 00:54:29,440
Speaker 2: Maybe there was dust up in the air there. All

1109
00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:30,880
Speaker 2: the dust is settled.

1110
00:54:30,840 --> 00:54:33,840
Speaker 3: And they just now they're back in their groove. Everyone

1111
00:54:33,880 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 3: came back healthy after that bye week, and I think

1112
00:54:36,680 --> 00:54:40,120
Speaker 3: now they're in a really good position to take on

1113
00:54:41,120 --> 00:54:43,000
Speaker 3: to take on the AFC North and to be the

1114
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:47,160

1137
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,640
Speaker 3: know I'm a nerd here, I really am, so I

1138
00:56:00,680 --> 00:56:06,360
Speaker 3: had to google how many Game sevens went into extra innings?

1139
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,200
Speaker 2: And it went into extra innings.

1140
00:56:08,760 --> 00:56:12,640
Speaker 3: Six times, including last night, right, and of those six

1141
00:56:12,880 --> 00:56:17,800
Speaker 3: only one of those instances the away team.

1142
00:56:18,000 --> 00:56:20,719
Speaker 2: Won the World Series. It wasn't the home team that

1143
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:21,640
Speaker 2: won the World Series.

1144
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:25,759
Speaker 3: So a big congratulations to La Dodgers on winning the

1145
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:29,000
Speaker 3: World Series. That's absolutely insane, Hey, Bucky, So I want

1146
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 3: to keep it here on the NFL. One of the

1147
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:36,360
Speaker 3: biggest matchups in the NFL today is Kansas City at Buffalo.

1148
00:56:36,760 --> 00:56:40,640
Speaker 3: It's Patrick Mahomes against Josh Allen. And we've seen this

1149
00:56:40,760 --> 00:56:43,640
Speaker 3: match up a couple times before. And when I say

1150
00:56:43,680 --> 00:56:46,520
Speaker 3: a couple times before, I actually mean ten times before.

1151
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 3: And it seems that Kansas City is Josh Allen's kryptonite.

1152
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,719
Speaker 3: I mean, he just can't find a win against Kansas City. Now,

1153
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:59,279
Speaker 3: last year they played each other twice. The Bills beat

1154
00:56:59,360 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 3: Kansas City at home thirty to twenty one, but then

1155
00:57:03,360 --> 00:57:09,040
Speaker 3: lost to Kansas City in last year's divisional round. And Bucky, listen,

1156
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:11,799
Speaker 3: I recognize it's hard to beat a team twice in

1157
00:57:11,840 --> 00:57:13,920
Speaker 3: the same year. I recognize that it's hard to do,

1158
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,400
Speaker 3: But really, what does Josh Allen need to do to

1159
00:57:17,560 --> 00:57:22,000
Speaker 3: finally get a win against Kansas City when it really matters.

1160
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,919
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not really on him, It's on the rest

1161
00:57:25,960 --> 00:57:28,960
Speaker 4: of the team. Josh Allen traditionally has played really well

1162
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 4: against the Kansity Chiefs, but he hasn't had a defense

1163
00:57:32,320 --> 00:57:34,760
Speaker 4: that could back it up. And part of the problem

1164
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:36,640
Speaker 4: that you have is when Pat Mahomes is on the

1165
00:57:36,720 --> 00:57:39,600
Speaker 4: other side, he stretch you in so many different ways.

1166
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:44,440
Speaker 4: His running ability, his playmaking ability on unscripted plays really

1167
00:57:44,480 --> 00:57:47,240
Speaker 4: makes it very, very difficult for the defense to stay engaged.

1168
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,960
Speaker 4: And I'll be honest, the Buffalo Bills are a great

1169
00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,840
Speaker 4: team defense, but they may not have a lot of

1170
00:57:53,040 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 4: individual blue chip players. That means that they got to

1171
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,400
Speaker 4: be very precise in their assignments. They have to execute

1172
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:01,960
Speaker 4: at a high left. But when things go awrid, they

1173
00:58:01,960 --> 00:58:05,120
Speaker 4: don't have the one game changer on their defense that

1174
00:58:05,200 --> 00:58:08,040
Speaker 4: can take the game over and say, hey, we're going

1175
00:58:08,080 --> 00:58:09,720
Speaker 4: to finish this out and I would be the one

1176
00:58:09,720 --> 00:58:12,160
Speaker 4: to get it done. So as much as we want

1177
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:14,680
Speaker 4: to put it on the feet of Josh Allen, it

1178
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:17,160
Speaker 4: really is on Sean McDermott in the defense to be

1179
00:58:17,240 --> 00:58:20,000
Speaker 4: able to get it done. Because if Josh Allen is

1180
00:58:20,000 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 4: thrown for three hundred yards, rushing for another fifty, scoring

1181
00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:25,560
Speaker 4: four touchdowns. There's not much more that he can do.

1182
00:58:25,840 --> 00:58:27,640
Speaker 4: It's on the rest of the team to do their part.

1183
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:28,760
Speaker 4: They helped him get over the top.

1184
00:58:29,720 --> 00:58:31,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I get that. I really do get that.

1185
00:58:32,160 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 3: And you know with Kansas City, you know Patrick Mahons

1186
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,960
Speaker 3: and the offense that he has, you know, Travis Kelce,

1187
00:58:39,400 --> 00:58:43,520
Speaker 3: Isaiah Pacheco, it is so hard to cover everything and

1188
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:47,880
Speaker 3: cover everyone right and again stretch the defense. Then, so

1189
00:58:47,960 --> 00:58:50,600
Speaker 3: it's not really Josh Allen's maybe you're saying it's it's

1190
00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:54,200
Speaker 3: Buffalo's defense that was never really able to step up

1191
00:58:54,400 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 3: on those high pressure games.

1192
00:58:57,200 --> 00:59:00,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's been that in their ability to

1193
00:59:00,040 --> 00:59:04,040
Speaker 4: play confimentary football. Sean McDermott and make sure that all

1194
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:07,920
Speaker 4: the coordinators offense, defense, special teams, they're working together to

1195
00:59:07,960 --> 00:59:10,000
Speaker 4: put a plan in place to win the game. And

1196
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:12,840
Speaker 4: that might mean on offense, hey, we need to hold

1197
00:59:12,880 --> 00:59:14,520
Speaker 4: onto the ball a little more and not put our

1198
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:17,040
Speaker 4: defense out there, try and play keep away from Pat

1199
00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,000
Speaker 4: Mahomes special teams. How can we still an extra possession?

1200
00:59:20,080 --> 00:59:22,680
Speaker 4: Is that an onside kick? Is that a fake punt?

1201
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,800
Speaker 4: Are there things that we can do to extend drives

1202
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:29,200
Speaker 4: using the kicking game. All of that has to come

1203
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,880
Speaker 4: into play, and they have to play this game, not

1204
00:59:31,920 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 4: treat this game like a playoff, but play this game

1205
00:59:34,080 --> 00:59:37,840
Speaker 4: like as a playoff game, meaning that time management, game

1206
00:59:37,880 --> 00:59:41,000
Speaker 4: management is really really critical to being able to help

1207
00:59:41,080 --> 00:59:42,479
Speaker 4: them walk away with a dub.

1208
00:59:43,400 --> 00:59:45,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know, it's kind of tough. Like I said before,

1209
00:59:45,520 --> 00:59:47,680
Speaker 3: it's tough beating the same team.

1210
00:59:47,520 --> 00:59:50,520
Speaker 2: Twice in the same year. But what it playing that

1211
00:59:50,600 --> 00:59:52,600
Speaker 2: team early.

1212
00:59:52,320 --> 00:59:55,160
Speaker 3: In the year kind of help you prepare to play

1213
00:59:55,200 --> 00:59:58,120
Speaker 3: the same team later in the year, especially during the playoffs.

1214
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:00,880
Speaker 2: Wouldn't I mean to me that huge advantage.

1215
01:00:00,960 --> 01:00:03,400
Speaker 3: But it seems like the Buffalo Bills could never really

1216
01:00:03,720 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 3: figure out, you know, either what they're doing later in

1217
01:00:06,400 --> 01:00:07,800
Speaker 3: the season or just figure out.

1218
01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:10,920
Speaker 2: What was successful and what wasn't successful.

1219
01:00:11,440 --> 01:00:14,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, teams are constantly changing, So just because you beat

1220
01:00:14,800 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 4: a team early in the year, it doesn't mean that

1221
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,520
Speaker 4: you're gonna see the same team later in the year.

1222
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,160
Speaker 4: Your team may be different due to injuries or those things.

1223
01:00:21,200 --> 01:00:22,960
Speaker 4: You may not be playing as well as you were

1224
01:00:23,160 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 4: at the beginning. People will make some adjustments to what

1225
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:30,920
Speaker 4: you did on tape. When you have those rematch games,

1226
01:00:31,120 --> 01:00:33,440
Speaker 4: some things can carry over. But the entire game and

1227
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:36,880
Speaker 4: game plan doesn't carry over. So who adjusts well to

1228
01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 4: the adjustments that are made. How quickly can you get

1229
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:42,040
Speaker 4: up to speed with the new plan of attack from

1230
01:00:42,080 --> 01:00:44,760
Speaker 4: the opponent. All of those things factor in, and then

1231
01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,880
Speaker 4: the final part of it is are we playing at home?

1232
01:00:46,960 --> 01:00:49,360
Speaker 4: Are we playing away? If we're playing at home, that's

1233
01:00:49,400 --> 01:00:52,000
Speaker 4: great because we're in the confines of our own field.

1234
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,320
Speaker 4: But then sometimes the nerves from the home fans can

1235
01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,680
Speaker 4: creep onto the sidelines and creates a higher level of

1236
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,600
Speaker 4: anxiety than you would if you were on the road.

1237
01:01:01,200 --> 01:01:04,360
Speaker 4: So many different factors go into it, but really every

1238
01:01:04,360 --> 01:01:07,360
Speaker 4: game is his own individual story, and you have to

1239
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:10,800
Speaker 4: be prepared to face that team for a second time,

1240
01:01:10,960 --> 01:01:13,760
Speaker 4: knowing that the results may be completely different than the

1241
01:01:13,760 --> 01:01:15,720
Speaker 4: previous time, and you have to be ready to change

1242
01:01:15,720 --> 01:01:16,680
Speaker 4: and adjust when needed.

1243
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:20,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, Dal, and I always think that, you know,

1244
01:01:20,640 --> 01:01:23,520
Speaker 3: playing at home, I mean it is advantage playing at home.

1245
01:01:23,560 --> 01:01:25,640
Speaker 3: You have the home crowd, you feel a little bit

1246
01:01:25,680 --> 01:01:30,440
Speaker 3: more comfortable playing at home, and it's always harder to

1247
01:01:30,600 --> 01:01:34,040
Speaker 3: win on the road. But you're saying because of that

1248
01:01:34,080 --> 01:01:38,280
Speaker 3: added pressure, because it is a playoff environment, even being

1249
01:01:38,400 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 3: at home isn't helpful if you're the home team, right, it.

1250
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:46,520
Speaker 4: Doesn't guarantee anything. I'm just saying like it can create

1251
01:01:47,120 --> 01:01:48,720
Speaker 4: a lot of stress when you play at home. And

1252
01:01:48,760 --> 01:01:50,760
Speaker 4: the reason why I creates more stress is because the

1253
01:01:50,800 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 4: home fans come in expecting to see your team win,

1254
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:57,680
Speaker 4: and when it doesn't go your weight early, the pressure

1255
01:01:57,960 --> 01:02:01,560
Speaker 4: just escalates. And with each path seeing moment or quarter,

1256
01:02:02,080 --> 01:02:05,640
Speaker 4: the longer year behind, the more you feel the sense

1257
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,280
Speaker 4: of urgency and the intensity and the drama and those

1258
01:02:08,320 --> 01:02:11,440
Speaker 4: things that can be stressed. It's a different feeling of

1259
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:14,600
Speaker 4: stress at home than it is on the road. It's

1260
01:02:14,640 --> 01:02:17,080
Speaker 4: more internal. So that's why I can be a challenge.

1261
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:19,760
Speaker 4: That's why it's not always exactly what you wanted to

1262
01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:22,360
Speaker 4: be when you play at home. It can just be

1263
01:02:22,400 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 4: a very look at me, a challenge. Oh wow, Yeah.

1264
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:27,640
Speaker 3: I mean that's something that you know, none of us

1265
01:02:27,640 --> 01:02:30,440
Speaker 3: whatever I've known that. You know, you would know that

1266
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,840
Speaker 3: because you've been in those situations. You've been on the

1267
01:02:32,880 --> 01:02:35,600
Speaker 3: field at home and you've you've felt the home pressure,

1268
01:02:35,880 --> 01:02:39,480
Speaker 3: the home crowd pressure playing at home. You know, between

1269
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:43,880
Speaker 3: the two quarterbacks here, there always been talks of the MVP.

1270
01:02:43,960 --> 01:02:46,160
Speaker 3: I mean, Josh Whinnon that last year but Patrick is

1271
01:02:46,240 --> 01:02:48,640
Speaker 3: really making a case for himself this year.

1272
01:02:49,120 --> 01:02:52,880
Speaker 2: And between the two, who do you like or is

1273
01:02:52,920 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 2: there even a.

1274
01:02:53,440 --> 01:02:56,600
Speaker 3: Third one that we're not even mentioning yet.

1275
01:02:56,480 --> 01:02:57,720
Speaker 4: You're talking about MVP candidate.

1276
01:02:57,840 --> 01:03:00,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, MVP of the Year, I.

1277
01:03:00,200 --> 01:03:02,560
Speaker 4: Would say, like d MVP candidate to me, like, it

1278
01:03:02,600 --> 01:03:05,000
Speaker 4: has to be one of the guys outside of those two,

1279
01:03:05,080 --> 01:03:08,280
Speaker 4: because like, those two are great, but they're not. When

1280
01:03:08,400 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 4: I think the team that has the best record at

1281
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:13,840
Speaker 4: the Indianapolis Coast, Daniel Jones or Jonathan Taylor, one of

1282
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,560
Speaker 4: those guys has to be considered the front runner. And

1283
01:03:16,960 --> 01:03:18,960
Speaker 4: it can go either way because Jonathan Taylor leads the

1284
01:03:19,000 --> 01:03:21,600
Speaker 4: league in rushing, but Daniel Jones has been the most

1285
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:24,600
Speaker 4: impactful player when it comes to what he's done for

1286
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,360
Speaker 4: this team. This team has raced out to a seven

1287
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:29,200
Speaker 4: and one start. He solved their quarterback issues. He's taking

1288
01:03:29,200 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 4: care of the ball, operating at a very efficient clip.

1289
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:35,200
Speaker 4: It's hard to envision him being a guy that we

1290
01:03:35,600 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 4: celebrate as an MVP, but if you look at the

1291
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,640
Speaker 4: way that the team is playing, a lot of it

1292
01:03:40,720 --> 01:03:43,120
Speaker 4: is due to the way that he is executing the

1293
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:44,440
Speaker 4: offense under Shane Styking.

1294
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:47,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, Let's talk about Daniel Jones here for

1295
01:03:47,800 --> 01:03:48,480
Speaker 2: a quick second.

1296
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:52,560
Speaker 3: And you know, Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield are kind

1297
01:03:52,600 --> 01:03:55,040
Speaker 3: of in the same situation where they both left their

1298
01:03:55,400 --> 01:03:58,840
Speaker 3: previous teams and then really found a home, you know,

1299
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 3: one in Indianapolis than one in Tampa Bay at the Buccaneers.

1300
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:06,520
Speaker 3: They really found a home, uh in those respected teams.

1301
01:04:07,200 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 3: What do you think's the difference there? Was it the offense?

1302
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:11,920
Speaker 3: Was it the culture?

1303
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:12,360
Speaker 1: Is it?

1304
01:04:12,560 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 4: Like?

1305
01:04:13,320 --> 01:04:17,000
Speaker 3: Is Baker Mayfield more successful at at the at the

1306
01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:21,120
Speaker 3: Buccaneers now in Tampa Bay because it's his style of offense?

1307
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:24,280
Speaker 3: I mean, what do you think what's the success uh?

1308
01:04:24,320 --> 01:04:25,840
Speaker 3: The successful factors there?

1309
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:32,920
Speaker 4: Look, I would say that everybody, the overall majority of

1310
01:04:32,960 --> 01:04:36,120
Speaker 4: players and a National Football League system players, they have

1311
01:04:36,160 --> 01:04:38,240
Speaker 4: to be in the right system for their skill set

1312
01:04:38,320 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 4: to succeed. And for Daniel Jones and Baker Mayfield and

1313
01:04:42,520 --> 01:04:45,960
Speaker 4: Sam Donald, these guys finally got into a system that

1314
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:50,600
Speaker 4: allowed them to flourish. Now it's kind of ironic that

1315
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:53,400
Speaker 4: all of these guys have somehow fell into systems that

1316
01:04:53,440 --> 01:04:56,840
Speaker 4: are extensions of the Kyle Shanahan Sean McVay system. But

1317
01:04:56,920 --> 01:05:00,280
Speaker 4: it's a system that relies on the running game, says

1318
01:05:00,320 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 4: the quarterback up for success with easy throws on play action,

1319
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:06,880
Speaker 4: explosive throws on play action, and then everyone adds their

1320
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,440
Speaker 4: own little touch to fit the skills of the quarterback.

1321
01:05:09,760 --> 01:05:12,240
Speaker 4: But it's one where if you just kind of connect

1322
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:15,000
Speaker 4: the dots, you're gonna have a lot of success. Daniel

1323
01:05:15,040 --> 01:05:18,760
Speaker 4: Jones has fallen into a system with Shane Styken where

1324
01:05:18,800 --> 01:05:22,000
Speaker 4: he does a great job of building the offensive scheme

1325
01:05:22,080 --> 01:05:26,040
Speaker 4: around the athleticism and mobile playmaking ability of the quarterback.

1326
01:05:26,280 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones has some of that athleticism and he leans

1327
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,000
Speaker 4: into that with a strong running game, a big offensive line,

1328
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:35,000
Speaker 4: playmakers on the outside. I would say that this is

1329
01:05:35,040 --> 01:05:37,760
Speaker 4: the best supporting cast that Daniel Jones has ever had

1330
01:05:37,760 --> 01:05:40,480
Speaker 4: in his career. And I'm saying that knowing that Saquon

1331
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,320
Speaker 4: Barkley is special, But if you look at what's around him,

1332
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,840
Speaker 4: he is able to flourish because he's finally supported with

1333
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:49,720
Speaker 4: a level dudes all across the board. So now he

1334
01:05:49,840 --> 01:05:52,320
Speaker 4: just has to be a point guard instead of the playmaker,

1335
01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:54,560
Speaker 4: and that has worked out well for him.

1336
01:05:54,640 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 3: So a little bit, I mean a little bit is

1337
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:01,040
Speaker 3: the people are surrounding the quarterback in this case Daniel Jones,

1338
01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:04,440
Speaker 3: but also the offensive scheme. But don't you think so

1339
01:06:04,680 --> 01:06:07,920
Speaker 3: he went to the Giants first, And don't you think

1340
01:06:07,960 --> 01:06:10,360
Speaker 3: the Giants are looking at Daniel Jones and thinking, Okay,

1341
01:06:10,840 --> 01:06:13,760
Speaker 3: he's successful in this type of offense. This is kind

1342
01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 3: of the offense that we're going to be building around him.

1343
01:06:16,040 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 3: But he just wasn't successful there, even with Barkley in

1344
01:06:19,120 --> 01:06:21,840
Speaker 3: the running in the backfield with him. I mean, just

1345
01:06:22,120 --> 01:06:26,120
Speaker 3: why wasn't he successful there? But then he's successful here

1346
01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:28,120
Speaker 3: and with the Colts. I just don't understand.

1347
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:31,080
Speaker 4: Coaching has a lot to do it. I would say

1348
01:06:31,080 --> 01:06:35,560
Speaker 4: this the year that they were successful where they went

1349
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 4: to the playoffs, he had fifteen touchdowns, five interceptions, But

1350
01:06:38,320 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 4: they ran the ball a lot. They ran the ball

1351
01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,640
Speaker 4: a lot with Sakwan Barkley, they ran the ball with him.

1352
01:06:43,160 --> 01:06:45,680
Speaker 4: The offensive line is not the same. The Coles have

1353
01:06:45,760 --> 01:06:48,400
Speaker 4: a much better offensive line than the New York Giants

1354
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:51,560
Speaker 4: had during his tenure. The Coles have better receivers on

1355
01:06:51,600 --> 01:06:54,760
Speaker 4: the outside than the New York Giants had under his tenure. Like,

1356
01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,240
Speaker 4: let's think about who is the notable name and wide

1357
01:06:57,280 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 4: receiver that you were scared about when Daniel Jones was

1358
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,160
Speaker 4: that quarterback. I can't even remember who that number one

1359
01:07:03,200 --> 01:07:05,720
Speaker 4: receiver is. I don't even know who their tight ends

1360
01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,000
Speaker 4: are during that point. So when we talk about why

1361
01:07:09,040 --> 01:07:13,520
Speaker 4: he couldn't succeed, Look, every quarterback needs a village around

1362
01:07:13,560 --> 01:07:16,160
Speaker 4: him to support them, and he didn't have the same

1363
01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:19,200
Speaker 4: village in New York that he has in Indianapolis, which

1364
01:07:19,200 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 4: is why the results have been different.

1365
01:07:22,040 --> 01:07:24,800
Speaker 3: And then talk about Baker Mayfield and Daniel Jones, I mean,

1366
01:07:24,840 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 3: what does this do for a player.

1367
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:29,160
Speaker 2: Who kind of.

1368
01:07:29,120 --> 01:07:32,800
Speaker 3: Thinks, okay, you know, they started out at their respective teams.

1369
01:07:33,040 --> 01:07:35,680
Speaker 3: I think it was the Browns and then the Giants,

1370
01:07:36,200 --> 01:07:40,040
Speaker 3: and they just kind of like they lose confidence that

1371
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,560
Speaker 3: they're not winning games, they're not at a successful program.

1372
01:07:42,840 --> 01:07:44,919
Speaker 3: But then they go and move to a different team

1373
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:46,560
Speaker 3: and look all the success that they have.

1374
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,320
Speaker 2: I mean, what kind of what does us do for

1375
01:07:48,320 --> 01:07:48,720
Speaker 2: a player?

1376
01:07:50,160 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 4: Well, I mean I think they all realize, like most

1377
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,520
Speaker 4: guys realize, like, man, I need to be in the

1378
01:07:54,560 --> 01:07:56,320
Speaker 4: thing that plays to my strengths. And if you have

1379
01:07:56,440 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 4: enough awareness, enough self awareness, you stand the strengths and

1380
01:08:00,960 --> 01:08:04,480
Speaker 4: weaknesses of your game. I do this really well. I

1381
01:08:04,520 --> 01:08:06,320
Speaker 4: don't do this as well. If you put me in

1382
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 4: a system that allows me to just do the things

1383
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:10,480
Speaker 4: that I do well. Man, I can have a lot

1384
01:08:10,520 --> 01:08:14,200
Speaker 4: of success. That's what we're seeing. That's been the biggest difference.

1385
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:17,559
Speaker 4: The biggest difference is like people are doing that part

1386
01:08:17,560 --> 01:08:21,640
Speaker 4: of it where they are leaning into things that do

1387
01:08:22,160 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 4: really well, and that has kind of helped him and

1388
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:28,280
Speaker 4: has helped them tremendously, because the success that we're saying

1389
01:08:28,280 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 4: from Daniel Jones and Sam Donald and others is purely

1390
01:08:31,720 --> 01:08:33,839
Speaker 4: due to system and supporting casts.

1391
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and you know, I'm thinking also, like so with

1392
01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,960
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield, he was over there with the Browns and

1393
01:08:42,920 --> 01:08:45,200
Speaker 3: early in this year in his career, I mean he's

1394
01:08:45,240 --> 01:08:47,920
Speaker 3: in the prime of his life, the prime of his

1395
01:08:48,040 --> 01:08:53,280
Speaker 3: athletic life, strong, healthy, quick and fast, but he wasn't

1396
01:08:53,320 --> 01:08:57,280
Speaker 3: winning games. And now he's you know, with the Buccaneers.

1397
01:08:57,479 --> 01:09:00,759
Speaker 3: He's a little bit older, but early on in his career.

1398
01:09:01,200 --> 01:09:04,840
Speaker 3: Don't what do players get upset at themselves? Man, I'm

1399
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,720
Speaker 3: in the prime of my life right now and I

1400
01:09:07,760 --> 01:09:08,639
Speaker 3: can't win games.

1401
01:09:08,680 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 2: I'm not at.

1402
01:09:09,320 --> 01:09:12,799
Speaker 3: An organization that's successful. It's kind of like a waste.

1403
01:09:12,840 --> 01:09:14,720
Speaker 3: I mean do players kind of think about that kind

1404
01:09:14,760 --> 01:09:15,200
Speaker 3: of stuff?

1405
01:09:16,760 --> 01:09:20,519
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, they do, but sometimes there's nothing that

1406
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:22,920
Speaker 4: can be done when it comes to it, right, Like,

1407
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 4: you just don't know how to handle it, how to

1408
01:09:26,040 --> 01:09:30,439
Speaker 4: approach it, what you're doing. It's unfortunate for those players

1409
01:09:30,439 --> 01:09:33,720
Speaker 4: that you can feel like, man, I've wasted some of

1410
01:09:33,720 --> 01:09:37,000
Speaker 4: my prime years with an organization that doesn't know how

1411
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:40,240
Speaker 4: to do it. But it happens, and you have to

1412
01:09:40,280 --> 01:09:43,000
Speaker 4: do the best that you can in this situation that

1413
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:46,400
Speaker 4: you're in and hope that it produces the kind of

1414
01:09:46,439 --> 01:09:49,120
Speaker 4: results that you want to produce. But it's just tough.

1415
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:52,800
Speaker 4: It's a very, very challenging and difficult thing to deal

1416
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:55,400
Speaker 4: with when you're trying to get up and going. You

1417
01:09:55,400 --> 01:09:57,360
Speaker 4: want your career to succeed, but you also want your

1418
01:09:57,360 --> 01:09:59,599
Speaker 4: team to succeed. It's rare that you're able to get

1419
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:01,040
Speaker 4: all those thing's going at one time.

1420
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, no doubt.

1421
01:10:02,439 --> 01:10:06,439
Speaker 3: And I just I keep thinking about Joe Burrow. You know,

1422
01:10:06,600 --> 01:10:09,080
Speaker 3: right now, he's in the prime of his career. He's

1423
01:10:09,120 --> 01:10:11,639
Speaker 3: the best quarterback that the Bengals, you know, in my mind,

1424
01:10:11,680 --> 01:10:15,479
Speaker 3: the Bengals I've ever seen ze ever had. But you

1425
01:10:15,560 --> 01:10:18,560
Speaker 3: can't have protection. He doesn't have any protection around him.

1426
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:21,639
Speaker 3: It's a toss up whether he's going to get hurt

1427
01:10:21,640 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 3: that year or not, and if he does get hurt,

1428
01:10:23,960 --> 01:10:24,920
Speaker 3: he's out for the rest.

1429
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:27,040
Speaker 2: Of the year. But he's in the prime of his

1430
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:28,320
Speaker 2: career right now.

1431
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:32,479
Speaker 3: It's it's wasted talent and I'm scared. I'm so scared

1432
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:34,160
Speaker 3: that Joe Burrow. One day it is just going to

1433
01:10:34,200 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 3: say I've had it, I'm fed up, get rid of me.

1434
01:10:38,200 --> 01:10:40,720
Speaker 3: Trade me to somewhere else where I will be successful,

1435
01:10:40,840 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 3: where I will have the protection around me so I

1436
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:46,040
Speaker 3: can be successful. That's just the kind of stuff that

1437
01:10:46,080 --> 01:10:47,599
Speaker 3: I'm thinking about with Joe Burrow.

1438
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:53,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, the Sinstanty Bengals aren't well constructed

1439
01:10:53,200 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 4: right now. Offensively, they have a few talented pieces, obviously

1440
01:10:57,240 --> 01:11:01,400
Speaker 4: on the outside. T Higgins Jamart so terrific. The quarterback

1441
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:04,760
Speaker 4: is excellent. You think about some of the weapons that

1442
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:07,920
Speaker 4: they're rotating in at tight end, they certainly can be

1443
01:11:07,920 --> 01:11:12,080
Speaker 4: a problem. But offensive line has been an issue. The

1444
01:11:12,160 --> 01:11:15,879
Speaker 4: defense has been bad. They fired a good defensive coordinating

1445
01:11:15,960 --> 01:11:17,760
Speaker 4: lou Ana Romo, who has done a great job with

1446
01:11:17,800 --> 01:11:21,400
Speaker 4: the Indianapolis Colts. Al Golden is a terrific defensive coordinator,

1447
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:24,000
Speaker 4: but he hasn't been able to get this unit up

1448
01:11:24,040 --> 01:11:27,080
Speaker 4: and going. And if you don't have great defense, it

1449
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 4: puts a tremendous amount of pressure on your offense to

1450
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 4: go to work. And if you're going to lean on

1451
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 4: your offense to go to work, it's hard to do

1452
01:11:33,160 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 4: it without an offensive line that can hold its own.

1453
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:41,840
Speaker 4: So I would say, the poorly constructed roster has done

1454
01:11:42,400 --> 01:11:45,800
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow no favors. And when you have that, you're

1455
01:11:45,800 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 4: going to struggle and he's hurting on the sideline and

1456
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 4: all those things. It's just hard.

1457
01:11:50,200 --> 01:11:50,920
Speaker 2: No, it is hard.

1458
01:11:50,960 --> 01:11:52,960
Speaker 3: And every Bengal fans will say, well, you know what,

1459
01:11:54,120 --> 01:11:55,840
Speaker 3: will spend all the money in the world for a

1460
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 3: great quarterback and for a great receiving group and whatnot,

1461
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:02,000
Speaker 3: but we won't spend any money on the defense. We

1462
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,360
Speaker 3: won't spend any money on the offense because Mike Brown

1463
01:12:05,439 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 3: doesn't like to spend money. And you know, people, I

1464
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:10,680
Speaker 3: don't know if Mike Brown knows this, but you have

1465
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:11,760
Speaker 3: to spend money.

1466
01:12:11,520 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 2: If you're gonna win championship games.

1467
01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,240
Speaker 3: So if you're gonna win the super Bowl, I mean,

1468
01:12:15,240 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 3: we went to the Super Bowl once before, and maybe

1469
01:12:17,479 --> 01:12:19,200
Speaker 3: Mike Brown just thinks that he's gonna do it on

1470
01:12:19,240 --> 01:12:22,760
Speaker 3: the backs of of Joe Burrow and Jamar Chase and

1471
01:12:22,800 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 3: T Higgins. But it doesn't happen that way. Defense wins championships.

1472
01:12:26,920 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 3: And he was so reluctant on.

1473
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:39,040
Speaker 2: Even paying the name forget yeah, Trad Anderson, thank you.

1474
01:12:40,200 --> 01:12:43,080
Speaker 2: He was so reluctant. He just I don't understand what

1475
01:12:43,120 --> 01:12:46,839
Speaker 2: the what the pause is? What the uh what? What?

1476
01:12:46,840 --> 01:12:47,400
Speaker 2: What it is?

1477
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:52,479
Speaker 4: I think for trade Henderson, like the debate and the

1478
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:54,840
Speaker 4: dilemma that they had was how much money do you

1479
01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:57,719
Speaker 4: want to invest in a thirty year old plus pass rusher.

1480
01:12:57,880 --> 01:13:00,840
Speaker 4: Now you look around the league. Miles Garrett was over thirty,

1481
01:13:00,960 --> 01:13:04,559
Speaker 4: he got paid TJ. Watt got paid it over thirty,

1482
01:13:05,880 --> 01:13:09,800
Speaker 4: and you're trying to figure out when is that breaking point?

1483
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:12,479
Speaker 4: When does it fall off the cliff when it comes

1484
01:13:12,479 --> 01:13:16,800
Speaker 4: to performance and production for an older player. Mike Brown

1485
01:13:16,920 --> 01:13:20,920
Speaker 4: is one who believes in trying to stay i'll say

1486
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:26,680
Speaker 4: physically responsible conservative when it comes to the expenditure. I

1487
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:30,599
Speaker 4: just believe that they should have paid Hendrickson earlier. And

1488
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,360
Speaker 4: then some of the other players that they've had on defense.

1489
01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,160
Speaker 4: They have really good players that they've let walk out

1490
01:13:35,200 --> 01:13:38,200
Speaker 4: the buildings. Jesse Bates is won right now. They've benched

1491
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:40,600
Speaker 4: Logan Wilson, who is a really good player. They have

1492
01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:43,759
Speaker 4: good players that have been on that defense. For whatever reason,

1493
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:46,599
Speaker 4: they haven't retained them. They hadlected to spend on offense.

1494
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:48,040
Speaker 4: But if you spend on offense, did you got a

1495
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:52,519
Speaker 4: draft and develop really well on defense? And I can't

1496
01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:54,400
Speaker 4: say that they've done that to the degree that they

1497
01:13:54,439 --> 01:13:56,240
Speaker 4: need to do it to remain a contender.

1498
01:13:56,960 --> 01:14:00,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, absolutely, you and every other since night Bengals. Look,

1510
01:14:25,840 --> 01:14:28,960
Speaker 2: Welcome back in. Alex Furman here in for my dad,

1511
01:14:29,040 --> 01:14:29,759
Speaker 2: Andy Foeman.

1512
01:14:30,760 --> 01:14:33,880
Speaker 3: Bucky Brooks here too, and we are also We're coming

Speaker 3: to you live from Fox Sports Radio Studios, and it's

1514
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 3: time for the Blame Game.

1515
01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 2: You ruin me.

1516
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:43,679
Speaker 1: It's all your fault. No, it's your fault, right.

1517
01:14:43,520 --> 01:14:47,240
Speaker 2: After all your fault.

1518
01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:52,640
Speaker 6: Maybe it's everyone's fault, the liar. That's why there's the

1519
01:14:52,640 --> 01:14:55,599
Speaker 6: blame game. Let's figure out who to blame.

1520
01:14:57,160 --> 01:14:59,719
Speaker 5: All righty, guys, Well, this is gonna be nice and relaxing.

1521
01:14:59,720 --> 01:15:02,320
Speaker 5: I don't have Andy's screaming at me blaming me for

1522
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:03,200
Speaker 5: all these questions.

1523
01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 8: It's gonna be nice. Alex so really happy you're here

1524
01:15:05,920 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 8: for this. You are not.

1525
01:15:08,800 --> 01:15:11,880
Speaker 5: No, it's very like a nice and peaceful show, right, Bucky,

1526
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:13,679
Speaker 5: kind of just like very smooth sailing.

1527
01:15:13,880 --> 01:15:14,080
Speaker 8: Right.

1528
01:15:14,880 --> 01:15:20,640
Speaker 11: So there's one hundred and sixty eight million dollars to

1529
01:15:20,760 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 11: fire college football coaches so far this season, Bucky, who

1530
01:15:25,200 --> 01:15:25,719
Speaker 11: do you blame?

1531
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:32,200
Speaker 4: Oh, I'll blame the lack of patients among administration eighties presidents.

1532
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:34,920
Speaker 4: Everyone wants to waive a magic wand and think that

1533
01:15:34,960 --> 01:15:38,599
Speaker 4: their teams can compete at a championship level. Sometimes it can't,

1534
01:15:38,600 --> 01:15:40,960
Speaker 4: but it's it's odd. It takes time to build a winner.

1535
01:15:40,960 --> 01:15:43,320
Speaker 4: But people don't have patients, and when you're asking them

1536
01:15:43,360 --> 01:15:45,839
Speaker 4: for money, I understand why the patients has slipped.

1537
01:15:46,479 --> 01:15:49,320
Speaker 8: The governor is getting involved in things like that. Alex,

1538
01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:51,599
Speaker 8: who do you that's what you blame.

1539
01:15:51,960 --> 01:15:53,480
Speaker 2: I blame the governors.

1540
01:15:53,479 --> 01:15:56,439
Speaker 3: The governors are stepping their foot into these these college

1541
01:15:56,439 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 3: programs now trying to make decisions on who's going to

1542
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:01,519
Speaker 3: be the coach. I mean, the governor for LSU's now

1543
01:16:01,640 --> 01:16:04,200
Speaker 3: saying that I want my say and who's going to

1544
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:05,519
Speaker 3: be the next coach at LSU.

1545
01:16:05,720 --> 01:16:07,280
Speaker 2: It's absolutely ridiculous, honestly.

1546
01:16:07,360 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 3: Also too, that's all the crazy alumni, all those crazy

1547
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:14,880
Speaker 3: alumni people just throwing their money at the programs, saying,

1548
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,400
Speaker 3: buy me the best coach, buy me the best coach.

1549
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:20,080
Speaker 3: And they even got, Man, they got so much saying

1550
01:16:20,160 --> 01:16:22,240
Speaker 3: who's going to be you know, who's here and who's

1551
01:16:22,280 --> 01:16:26,200
Speaker 3: not here? You know alumnis, you know, saying how much

1552
01:16:26,280 --> 01:16:27,160
Speaker 3: is it to get rid of them?

1553
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:29,040
Speaker 2: I'll front you the money. I'll just give you the money,

1554
01:16:29,720 --> 01:16:30,160
Speaker 2: all righty.

1555
01:16:30,280 --> 01:16:32,760
Speaker 5: So, according to a report from ian Or Rappaport, the

1556
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:36,040
Speaker 5: Cowboys are looking to add a pass rusher because you know,

1557
01:16:36,560 --> 01:16:38,559
Speaker 5: they haven't had a really good pass rusher in a really,

1558
01:16:38,600 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 5: really long time.

1559
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:41,120
Speaker 8: You guys, I don't know if you knew that they're

1560
01:16:41,120 --> 01:16:41,839
Speaker 8: looking at.

1561
01:16:41,680 --> 01:16:44,880
Speaker 5: A pass rusher at the trade deadline, and they're actually

1562
01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:48,400
Speaker 5: open and trading their twenty twenty three first round defensive

1563
01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:49,559
Speaker 5: tackle Mazzie Smith.

1564
01:16:49,960 --> 01:16:51,599
Speaker 8: Alex, Who do you blame for this?

1565
01:16:52,120 --> 01:16:55,880
Speaker 3: I think I blame Jerry Jones's psychiatrist because I guess

1566
01:16:55,960 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 3: maybe they're not having the right conversations here. I think

1567
01:16:59,040 --> 01:17:01,360
Speaker 3: Jerry Jones is a little bit have his mind getting

1568
01:17:01,439 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 3: rid of Michael Parsons. He had a great defensive end.

1569
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,240
Speaker 3: Why get rid of him? Why not make him happy?

1570
01:17:07,320 --> 01:17:09,280
Speaker 3: Make him a part of the team. He was, he

1571
01:17:09,360 --> 01:17:13,120
Speaker 3: was essentially your entire defense. But I guess his his sessions,

1572
01:17:13,160 --> 01:17:14,680
Speaker 3: they're not having the right conversations.

1573
01:17:14,720 --> 01:17:15,439
Speaker 2: That's why I blame.

1574
01:17:15,800 --> 01:17:20,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, not having the right conversations for sure. Just a

1575
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:24,360
Speaker 4: difficult situation. Like I blame all everybody, Like I'm just

1576
01:17:24,400 --> 01:17:26,320
Speaker 4: mad at everybody. Everyone gets to blame for me.

1577
01:17:28,439 --> 01:17:30,680
Speaker 8: I just think it's hilarious. They're looking to add a

1578
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:31,519
Speaker 8: pass rusher.

1579
01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:33,960
Speaker 5: Okay, like you guys didn't have one, you know, in

1580
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:35,920
Speaker 5: the off season, right, Like you guys didn't have one

1581
01:17:35,920 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 5: earlier this year. Okay, So the weekend this weekend, we

01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 5: getting underway. The last few weeks. The list goes on

1584
01:17:47,760 --> 01:17:52,320
Speaker 5: it's too much. Who do you blame, Bucky question?

1585
01:17:52,680 --> 01:17:53,200

01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,439
Speaker 5: So we just kind of have like the sports, you know,

01:17:55,479 --> 01:17:58,520
Speaker 5: equinox with the World Series, we got football.

01:17:58,080 --> 01:18:01,080
Speaker 8: We had college football, the NBA. Yeah, just a lot

1589
01:18:01,160 --> 01:18:02,960
Speaker 8: going on. It's just like a little much. Who do

1590
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:03,400
Speaker 8: you blame?

1591
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 4: I actually like it. I actually liked at the calendar

1592
01:18:06,280 --> 01:18:09,320
Speaker 4: in October is loaded with things. It's always something to watch. Yeah,

1593
01:18:09,360 --> 01:18:11,240
Speaker 4: it was a little crazy watching college football and the

1594
01:18:11,240 --> 01:18:13,760
Speaker 4: World Series last night, but it was fun to me.

1595
01:18:14,400 --> 01:18:16,400
Speaker 4: You would like to space it out where every sport

1596
01:18:16,400 --> 01:18:19,160
Speaker 4: would have its own individual month or two week period

1597
01:18:19,200 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 4: for the championships, but sometimes you can't get it done.

1598
01:18:22,200 --> 01:18:25,240
Speaker 4: So it's life. It's a life calendar. Can't control it.

1599
01:18:25,400 --> 01:18:25,839
Speaker 8: Alex.

1600
01:18:26,160 --> 01:18:28,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I blame that. I blame the TV programmers

1601
01:18:28,880 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 2: and how the heck.

1602
01:18:29,800 --> 01:18:32,240
Speaker 3: I guess they must not watch sports because they're just

1603
01:18:32,280 --> 01:18:33,519
Speaker 3: like just throw it all.

1604
01:18:33,360 --> 01:18:35,280
Speaker 2: On one day, or throw it all in one week.

1605
01:18:35,160 --> 01:18:36,960
Speaker 3: Or whatever it might be. You know, I thought about

1606
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:40,160
Speaker 3: this late last night. They need to have a specific

1607
01:18:40,280 --> 01:18:43,839
Speaker 3: sport for each day. For Tuesday it's going to be baseball,

1608
01:18:44,120 --> 01:18:47,080
Speaker 3: Wednesdays is going to be NBA, Thursday is going to

1609
01:18:47,160 --> 01:18:48,040
Speaker 3: be college football.

1610
01:18:48,120 --> 01:18:51,240
Speaker 2: Then baseball, football, NBA go in rotation that one, we

1611
01:18:51,240 --> 01:18:54,080
Speaker 2: can all enjoy the sports. I can't even keep up.

1612
01:18:54,120 --> 01:18:55,840
Speaker 2: There's too much. There's too much to watch out there.

1613
01:18:55,880 --> 01:18:58,880
Speaker 5: And then how many streaming services you need to go

1614
01:18:58,920 --> 01:19:00,920
Speaker 5: along with everything you need to watch.

1615
01:19:01,040 --> 01:19:02,280
Speaker 8: That's like a whole others.

1616
01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:03,080
Speaker 2: I'm going broke.

1617
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:05,080
Speaker 3: I'm going broke watching all the sports I can. I

1618
01:19:05,080 --> 01:19:07,160
Speaker 3: can't afford all the streaming services just to watch the

1619
01:19:07,560 --> 01:19:09,000
Speaker 3: just to watch the games is unbelievable.

1620
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:09,559
Speaker 8: Alrighty guys.

1621
01:19:09,640 --> 01:19:12,200
Speaker 5: Last one, the Ravens were fined one hundred thousand dollars

1622
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:16,280
Speaker 5: for incorrectly listing Lamar Jackson on the injury report last week.

1623
01:19:16,320 --> 01:19:17,280
Speaker 8: Bucky, who do you blame?

1624
01:19:17,720 --> 01:19:19,800
Speaker 4: Look up? I blame John Harborough because you shouldn't have

1625
01:19:19,840 --> 01:19:21,800
Speaker 4: uttered what he uttered out there about Lamar. They should

1626
01:19:21,800 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 4: have put the status there. I know they said it

1627
01:19:23,400 --> 01:19:25,800
Speaker 4: was a mistake, and mistakes do happen, but you got

1628
01:19:25,840 --> 01:19:27,759
Speaker 4: to stay on top of it. There's so many factors

1629
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:30,040
Speaker 4: that are involved in the injury report that you got

1630
01:19:30,080 --> 01:19:32,800
Speaker 4: to put accurate information out there, not just for the

1631
01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:34,599
Speaker 4: teams involved, but also for the gambler.

1632
01:19:34,960 --> 01:19:38,400
Speaker 3: No, I blame I blamed the training staff here let's

1633
01:19:38,439 --> 01:19:41,719
Speaker 3: get Lamar taped up, ready to go, ready for the game,

1634
01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 3: and let's get him off the injury port as quickly

1635
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:46,599
Speaker 3: as we possibly can.

1636
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,080
Speaker 2: That's who I blame. There, Come on, guys, Thanks guys.
