Speaker 4: minutes talking about Yeah, college football, Notre Dame Miami. We

28
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: need to talk a little more about that. Anyways, let

29
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,400
Speaker 4: me do my Super Bowl tiers.

30
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,080
Speaker 3: All right, folks, here we go. So we have four

31
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:32,720
Speaker 3: tiers of the teams that can win the Super Bowl.

32
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 3: And let's get started, shall we.

33
00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:36,600
Speaker 6: All right?

34
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:40,440
Speaker 3: Tier number one faux show for sure.

35
00:01:40,880 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: Uh.

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,360
Speaker 4: These teams are the elite, the best of the best.

37
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,679
Speaker 4: Baltimore Ravens, no doubt about it, need no explanation. Josh

38
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 4: Allen's Buffalo.

39
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 3: Bills, the phi let out FIA Eagles, the defending Super

40
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:50,960
Speaker 3: Bowl champs.

41
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,320
Speaker 4: I don't need to explain those three. Now the Niners,

42
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 4: some people are gonna be surprised by. I'm just gonna

43
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 4: let's be obvious. Don't read too much into what happened

44
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 4: last season. They were a mass unit and I know

45
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 4: the wide receiver room has some issues.

46
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:06,400
Speaker 3: Currently they're gonna be fine. Okay.

47
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:09,960
Speaker 4: This is a schedule based prediction. That's why they're Super

48
00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:12,919
Speaker 4: Bowl contenders. I also like the move bring back Robert

49
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:15,800
Speaker 4: Sala go look at the quarterbacks they face this year, Guys,

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:17,280
Speaker 4: it is a cakewalk.

51
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,960
Speaker 3: They should be fine.

52
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 4: I think they'll probably get the number one or two

53
00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 4: seed in the NFC. The forty nine ers should be

54
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: in the four shore super Bowl contender list. All right,

55
00:02:26,680 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 4: let's go to the second tier, a little larger, a

56
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 4: little more robust.

57
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 3: The Green Bay Packers.

58
00:02:33,639 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 4: Yes, I have the Packers in the four reel category,

59
00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 4: joined by the Atlanta Falcons.

60
00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 3: I don't mind revealing.

61
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 4: When I was in Vegas last week, I bet the

62
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 4: Falcons to win the division and yes, win the NFC.

63
00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 4: Admit of a flyer.

64
00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 3: The offensive line injuries has me concerned right now.

65
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: But nevertheless, Denver Broncos in the four reel category. That

66
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,920
Speaker 4: defense should be the best in the league. And I

67
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,880
Speaker 4: think the Nicks Peyton combo is much better than I thought.

68
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,040
Speaker 4: La Rams fourth in the four reel category. They probably

69
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 4: could get bumped up to one now that Stafford's fine,

70
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: but as Rachel noted, the left tackle situation some cause

71
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:11,240
Speaker 4: for concern.

72
00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 3: And I'm gonna put the Bengals here because.

73
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 4: Burrow's not gonna stop chucking and duccin he is just

74
00:03:16,280 --> 00:03:19,040
Speaker 4: going to keep throwing to keep the Bengals in every game,

75
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 4: and I do believe offense should keep them in the

76
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 4: super Bowl contending category. Let's go to the third tier

77
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 4: of super Bowl contenders. Hey, there they are.

78
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 5: Here we go for now.

79
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,200
Speaker 4: The Kansas City Chiefs are a super Bowl contender. Yes,

80
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: I had them missing the playoffs. Yes, the tackles are

81
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,080
Speaker 4: an issue. I don't care how good the Ohio State

82
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 4: kids looked in practice.

83
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 3: Is a long season, folks. The running back situation is

84
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:47,720
Speaker 3: dicey Travis Kelcey not gonna use the washed word. Oops,

85
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 3: I just did.

86
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 4: I think he'll be okay, But let's see, it's a

87
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 4: full season in the playoffs. And then, of course the defense,

88
00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,720
Speaker 4: I mean, Jalen Hurts just put a number on them

89
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,600
Speaker 4: in the Super Bowl and you look at that tape

90
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 4: of that and you're like, oh, there's holes all all

91
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 4: over the place. I have Detroit in four now, I

92
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 4: also have them missing the playoffs. I know that's gonna

93
00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,240
Speaker 4: make people upset Washington in the four Now.

94
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:09,520
Speaker 3: As we talked about yesterday, Rachel.

95
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,080
Speaker 4: Noted, the defense is very old, has a lot of questions.

96
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 3: I think the offense keeps them in gains and I'm

97
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,279
Speaker 3: gonna have the Chargers here. I really like the Chargers.

98
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:19,880
Speaker 4: They're a bit more sleeper now that Slater's out for

99
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:24,599
Speaker 4: the season. Let's go to the final category, super Bowl contenders.

100
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:28,040
Speaker 4: For your consideration, the Arizona Cardinals.

101
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 3: I have them in the playoffs. Houston, Texas, I just

102
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,159
Speaker 3: don't love them.

103
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:34,480
Speaker 4: They got entire new offensive line. Yes, the defense will

104
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 4: keep them in gains, Yes, the divisions, but that offensive

105
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 4: line has me really nervous. I have Jacksonville here, They're

106
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,919
Speaker 4: my surprise team in the AFC. I think that offense

107
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:48,440
Speaker 4: isn't going to rival the Bengals, but I think it's

108
00:04:48,440 --> 00:04:51,000
Speaker 4: gonna be very, very good.

109
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,839
Speaker 3: And oh my gosh, this this can't be real.

110
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 4: And then finally, for your consideration, the Minnesota Vikings. Yes,

111
00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 4: I'm buying ja Jim McCarthy and those are my Super

112
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,559
Speaker 4: Bowl contender tears. So listen, there's some news breaking.

113
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,920
Speaker 3: I don't know is this? Are we sure about this?

114
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,719
Speaker 4: Come on, guys, I don't want to go with that

115
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 4: if it's not accurate. So let's bring on Bruce Feldman,

116
00:05:14,200 --> 00:05:20,120
Speaker 4: my guy college football analyst covers the sport for Fox.

117
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,560

00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 4: the excitement level for you?

120
00:05:29,640 --> 00:05:30,840
Speaker 3: Texas Ohio State.

121
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,160
Speaker 7: Can't wait? Jason.

122
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:36,200
Speaker 6: I mean, this is the best week one we've ever

123
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 6: had in college football. You have a one verse two

124
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 6: matchup as obviously you remember Texas was knocked out of

125
00:05:41,880 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 6: the playoff last year by the buck Eyes, and now

126
00:05:45,120 --> 00:05:46,560
Speaker 6: you have the arch manding factor.

127
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,560
Speaker 7: You have new coordinators.

128
00:05:48,960 --> 00:05:51,080
Speaker 6: At Ohio State on both sides of the ball, including

129
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 6: Matt Patrischut's never really coached in college football and now

130
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:54,880
Speaker 6: he's got to defend.

131
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 7: Arch That's huge.

132
00:05:56,640 --> 00:06:01,400
Speaker 6: You got two other top ten matchups later that weekend.

133
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 7: I mean, it's all right.

134
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:10,039
Speaker 4: Let me just quickly ask about this Matt Patricia. He

135
00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:14,159
Speaker 4: is the rocket scientist if memory serves from his days

136
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:18,920
Speaker 4: in New England Detroit, Matt Patricia kind of a divisive figure.

137
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,400
Speaker 3: But as you said, he's had all off season.

138
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,880
Speaker 4: To prepare for Art. He's also got maybe the best

139
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Speaker 4: defensive player in the country and Downs. I think they

140
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 4: kind of bottle up the Texas offense here. Bruso, what's

141
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:29,760
Speaker 4: your read on that one.

142
00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 6: It's going to be interesting to see what kind of

143
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 6: answers does he have. Does he do a lot of

144
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:38,120
Speaker 6: what Jim Knowles, who was the offense the defensive cordinator

145
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,040
Speaker 6: last year, did it such a good job for Ohio State.

146
00:06:40,120 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 6: As you mentioned, Caleb Downs, their safety. I think he's

147
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:44,919
Speaker 6: the best defensive player in the country. He's just a

148
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 6: unique chess piece because he's so smart and what they

149
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 6: can do with them. They have two elite linebackers who

150
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:54,440
Speaker 6: are really special athletes in sunny styles and r bel reeves.

151
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:59,040
Speaker 7: The d line is mostly new right. They have talent there,

152
00:06:59,080 --> 00:06:59,880
Speaker 7: but it's new guys.

153
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 6: The part that I think I'm most curious about in

154
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:06,040
Speaker 6: this game is it's not just Arch. It's four new

155
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 6: starters on the offensive line. You lost a top ten

156
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:11,920
Speaker 6: pick who's now with the Saints at left tackle. It's

157
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,760
Speaker 6: a lot of new guys and it's a tough road environment.

158
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 6: I mean, we'll see how Patricia does, you know, long

159
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 6: term this season. It reminds me a little bit of

160
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 6: a similar situation Texas faced early last year on the

161
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:27,840
Speaker 6: road when they went to Michigan.

162
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 7: Wink Martindale, who hadn't been in college.

163
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:34,520
Speaker 6: He stepped in at Michigan and it was a mismatch

164
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,680
Speaker 6: Sark versus Wink Martindale early in the year. Sark's still

165
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 6: there is a more mobile quarterback, albeit less experience, in

166
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,640
Speaker 6: Quinn Eewers. And it's also a new offensive line though,

167
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 6: and that's the part where I'm fascinated to see how

168
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 6: Arch does behind a new group that is going to

169
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:53,600
Speaker 6: be feeling its way out in a very hostile setting.

170
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 4: Let me ask you, Bruce, are you surprised that Arch

171
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,400
Speaker 4: did not throw a pass at all in the SEC

172
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: championship game or.

173
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:01,559
Speaker 3: The two playoff games?

174
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,880
Speaker 4: They had a couple of running packages for him, but

175
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:07,560
Speaker 4: not one pass. To me, to an outsider, that's kind

176
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 4: of a lack of confidence in him getting it done

177
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 4: in a big spot. Or was there dynamic with Queen

178
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 4: Youwers that maybe I don't understand.

179
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:17,400
Speaker 7: No, I just think it's in the moment.

180
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 6: Look when in mid season Georgia comes in there and

181
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,560
Speaker 6: they are slaughtering Texas, they bench Ewers, give Arch a chance.

182
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,360
Speaker 6: Arch gave him a spark for a second, and then

183
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,080
Speaker 6: Georgia just overwhelmed him too.

184
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 7: I think I wouldn't.

185
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:34,720
Speaker 6: Read too much in anything that happened last year with

186
00:08:34,800 --> 00:08:38,400
Speaker 6: that Texas team. You know, remember the year before Texas

187
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 6: came very close to playing for the national title. They

188
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:45,000
Speaker 6: lost to Washington and Michael Pennix. You know, it wasn't

189
00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 6: like yours is a scrub. Yours has played a lot.

190
00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,840
Speaker 6: You know, he operated well at times in the offense,

191
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,160
Speaker 6: and I think it was just about like, hey, let's

192
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 6: make sure when Arch is really ready, he's ready to go.

193
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:01,280
Speaker 7: And I think having an all a full off season

194
00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:02,679
Speaker 7: to kind.

195
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,199
Speaker 6: Of grow into this position and get ready, I think

196
00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:08,720
Speaker 6: it's probably ideal for them. But I you know again,

197
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 6: I wouldn't you can always second guest play callers on

198
00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 6: both sides of the ball. I wouldn't, you know, see Starkeys,

199
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,360
Speaker 6: it's as good as there is in college football, especially

200
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,120
Speaker 6: in like third down stuff and different you know things.

201
00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:22,839
Speaker 6: Obviously you can hindsight his twenty twenty I'm sure there's

202
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:23,200
Speaker 6: a bunch of.

203
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 7: Calls in that game.

204
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 6: Sark would have loved to have back, but credit to

205
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 6: Jim Knowles, he had answers.

206
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:31,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's go to Miami. Notre Dame obviously a rich

207
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,040
Speaker 4: history between these two.

208
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 3: I'm on the.

209
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 4: Irish here, but there are some questions about Notre Dame

210
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: a quarterback.

211
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,960
Speaker 3: Their defense is stacked love the running back. Where are

212
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 3: you on this matchup.

213
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,280
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's not just the running back you're talking about.

214
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 6: Jeremiah Love is fantastic. That running back room is deep

215
00:09:47,520 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 6: behind him, JD.

216
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 7: Price. They have some young backs they really like. But

217
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:51,720
Speaker 7: again CJ.

218
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 6: Carr, you know he's a talented passer, but this is

219
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 6: his first big test, right And they're going to Miami

220
00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:01,679
Speaker 6: and this is a completely new defense. And I'm not

221
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,960
Speaker 6: saying how it's going to go for Matt Patricier or not.

222
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 6: But in Corey Heatherman, we have a much more experienced

223
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 6: college defensive coordinator who's stepping in. Miami was awful on

224
00:10:10,480 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 6: defense last year. They were explosive on offense with cam Ward.

225
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:16,360
Speaker 6: I think Miami is going to be much improved this

226
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 6: year because of the defensive side of the ball. And

227
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 6: I think everything I've heard at a Coral Gables has

228
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 6: been very positive on how Corey Heatherman has changed things.

229
00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:29,040
Speaker 6: I think this is a tricky spot for the Irish.

230
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:33,640
Speaker 6: They're talented, as you said, but again, new quarterback. That

231
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 6: place can be pretty loud. It's not the old Orange Bowl,

232
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 6: but ask players on the Notre Dame team that got

233
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 6: blown off the field like forty eight to seven, Like

234
00:10:43,720 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 6: when Manny Diaz was there. That place can get loud

235
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,319
Speaker 6: in the right spot, and I expected to later this weekend.

236
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 6: And again, Carson Beck is now the starter at Miami.

237
00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 6: There's been a lot of positive reports coming out of

238
00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,200
Speaker 6: there from the coaches I know there.

239
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:01,079
Speaker 7: They have a really good offensive line.

240
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 6: I would not at all be surprised if Miami beats

241
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 6: them this weekend.

242
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:04,440
Speaker 3: All right.

243
00:11:04,559 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 4: I got to ask Bruce, You're like, the coach is

244
00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: a positive on Carson back. Have you ever got preseason

245
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:11,920
Speaker 4: negative stuff from coaches on a quarterback?

246
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 6: I bet, yeah, definitely it's oh it's you definitely do.

247
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 6: But those are the things you shy away from bringing

248
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 6: up and saying, oh yeah, coaches are kind of skittish,

249
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:23,599
Speaker 6: skittish about this guy. I mean, maybe some of the

250
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,960
Speaker 6: stuff you talk about around it may come up, but

251
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,679
Speaker 6: there's definitely a bunch of stuff where you end up

252
00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:31,800
Speaker 6: in the back of your head and sometimes you talk

253
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 6: about it. You know, we have a podcast where we'll

254
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:35,839
Speaker 6: talk a little bit more about the stuff I might

255
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:37,959
Speaker 6: be concerned about at Ohio State or the stuff I

256
00:11:38,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 6: might be concerned about on this team of that team.

257
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 7: But you know, you kind of balance all the information

258
00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:44,760
Speaker 7: you get.

259
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:47,120
Speaker 3: Okay, So does Beck lose the game with a pick

260
00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: or stripsack fumble? How does he blow this one? I

261
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: just don't have a lot of faith in the guy.

262
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: And this is coming from somebody last year at this

263
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,080
Speaker 4: time who was like, oh yeah, Carson Beck, he's got

264
00:11:56,120 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 4: to be the favorite to go number one in the draft.

265
00:11:59,280 --> 00:11:59,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, I know.

266
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 6: I can get so over your skis on the draft

267
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:04,320
Speaker 6: and component of this because that's what people thought.

268
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:05,520
Speaker 7: And then you know what happened.

269
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:08,880
Speaker 6: Rock Bauers went to the NFL and Lad McConkie went

270
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:12,240
Speaker 6: to the NFL, and the receiving group beneath him wasn't

271
00:12:12,360 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 6: very good, and he pressed. I mean, right now, he's

272
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,080
Speaker 6: got a really good offensive line, he's got an elite

273
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 6: running back in Jordan Lyles, and they have a lot

274
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 6: of young talent at receiver.

275
00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 7: So you know, again, I know this.

276
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:32,319
Speaker 6: The Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Munkin, who had Beck early on,

277
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 6: was very effusive in how smart he is, how quick

278
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:39,160
Speaker 6: his release is and all those things. I mean, look,

279
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,840
Speaker 6: give a lot of credit also to Shannon Dawson, Miami's

280
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,400
Speaker 6: OC because going into last year, the NFL had a

281
00:12:45,440 --> 00:12:48,280
Speaker 6: fifth round grade on cam Ward. Where did he end

282
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 6: up getting drafted a couple of months ago. First, overall,

283
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:53,760
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it was it was all Shannon Dawson.

284
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 6: But Shannon Dawson the offense quarter and knows what he's doing,

285
00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,800
Speaker 6: and I would expect Carson Beck will have a pretty

286
00:12:58,800 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 6: big year in this system.

287
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 4: That's good insight. Let's go to the other matchup LSU Clemson.

288
00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:08,360
Speaker 4: Another bet that I made was Clemson undefeated regular season.

289
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: Obviously if they clear this hurdle or favored the rest

290
00:13:10,600 --> 00:13:11,000
Speaker 4: of the way.

291
00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 3: I'm just curious.

292
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 4: This is a battle of these quarterbacks who everybody seems

293
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 4: to like for the draft next year. Club Nick and Nussmeyer.

294
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 4: Where are you on these two heading into the season.

295
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:22,760
Speaker 7: I like them.

296
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 6: I think they're both really smart quarterbacks. They don't have

297
00:13:26,160 --> 00:13:29,319
Speaker 6: like great size. Nuss Meyer's more of a gun slowinger

298
00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 6: coaches kid, you know. I think both guys are really

299
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 6: good leaders. They see the field really well.

300
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:37,680
Speaker 7: The part that we.

301
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 6: Need to see a big step up from them is,

302
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 6: especially with Garrett Usmeyer, is how they play against ranked teams.

303
00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 6: You look at the numbers, they were not good. Neither

304
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 6: guy was really good, but Garrett really struggled and now

305
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:57,440
Speaker 6: a little like arch Manning, he's got an entirely rebuilt

306
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 6: offensive line. They had four offensive lineen who play eight

307
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 6: in the Senior Bowl, including you know, the Patriots top

308
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:06,320
Speaker 6: five pick Will Campbell. So now you got to rebuilt

309
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 6: offensive line. That place is going to be even more

310
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 6: hostile at night than what you're going to have in Columbus.

311
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 6: And unlike the Buck guys, this defensive line Clemson has.

312
00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:18,080
Speaker 6: Peter Woods was one of my highest guys on my

313
00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:20,000
Speaker 6: Freaks list. I think he'll be a top five pick.

314
00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,760
Speaker 6: He's a three hundred ten pound defensive tackle who runs

315
00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 6: for eight five. They have like three other guys on

316
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 6: the defense who I think will be top forty picks

317
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 6: next year. And then they have another guy, Sammy Brown,

318
00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 6: who when he's able to come out for the draft,

319
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 6: I think he's going to go really high as a

320
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 6: linebacker who can run, who can run like the win.

321
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:40,239
Speaker 7: Tom Allen's a new defensive coordinator.

322
00:14:40,320 --> 00:14:42,320
Speaker 6: I think this is a big upgrade from what Clemson

323
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 6: had on defense last year. I'm a little nervous about

324
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 6: the Clemson pick now because now I see that you're

325
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 6: on the vandwagon National.

326
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 7: God as soon as you said it, my kind of

327
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 7: rolled back.

328
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:57,080
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not going to lie like I've been down

329
00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 4: on Dabo for Dabbo for a couple of years now

330
00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 4: since you he refused to go to the portal, and

331
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:03,360
Speaker 4: then you came on my podcast you were like, broll,

332
00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 4: this defensive line is filthy. I'm worried for Nusmeyer. In

333
00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 4: the opener, I think he could be under some pressure.

334
00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 4: So you have Clemson as number one in your college

335
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:13,240
Speaker 4: football playoff seatings.

336
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,840
Speaker 3: Huh.

337
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 7: I do you know a couple of things.

338
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 6: As I mentioned Tom Allen, everything I've heard has gotten

339
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:21,720
Speaker 6: the defense much more in stinct.

340
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 7: They were like out of it last year.

341
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,040
Speaker 6: They had some players, you know, some inexperience in key spots.

342
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 6: As I said, now, Sammy Brown is a second year player.

343
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 6: He was a true freshman playing a lot last year

344
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 6: in a key role. The other big thing is when

345
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:39,600
Speaker 6: Clemson was winning national titles, they had elite receiver play.

346
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 6: That's when even right before when the program started to

347
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,200
Speaker 6: get closer, when Taj Boyd was putting up big numbers,

348
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 6: they had elite receivers. They dropped off in the last

349
00:15:48,280 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 6: few years. The receiver room is backed closer to where

350
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 6: it used to be. You know, Bryant West West co

351
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 6: is a big time guy. They have three guys there

352
00:15:56,560 --> 00:16:01,440
Speaker 6: who are really big athletic playmakers. How Klubnick has continued

353
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,400
Speaker 6: to mature. He showed he s some playmaking ability. We

354
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:08,200
Speaker 6: saw that at times last year and again, you know,

355
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 6: they did go in the portal a little bit, or

356
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 6: they have a good defensive end.

357
00:16:11,280 --> 00:16:12,440
Speaker 7: They took from Purdue.

358
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 6: I feel like everybody got a good player from doing

359
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 6: They were awful last year, but still they you know,

360
00:16:17,720 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 6: I like where Clemson is now. I would caution people

361
00:16:20,800 --> 00:16:24,280
Speaker 6: on this, Like last year Clemson got blown out by

362
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 6: an SEC team in the opener by Georgia.

363
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,560
Speaker 7: LSU lost their opener.

364
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,960
Speaker 6: Brian Kelly's never won an opener since he's been at LSU.

365
00:16:33,160 --> 00:16:35,640
Speaker 6: Clemson made the playoff even without you know, like you

366
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 6: can stumble out of the gate and still have a

367
00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:42,000
Speaker 6: really good season. The thing to watch for for me

368
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,360
Speaker 6: on the LSU side, I think LSU's really talented. They

369
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 6: got a ton of freaky athletes in the receiver room

370
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 6: for neus Meyer.

371
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 7: But Brian Kelly's put so much in this game.

372
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 6: You know, he's put Clemson Tiger pauls all over the

373
00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 6: facility just to kind of reinforce how big of a

374
00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,120
Speaker 6: deal this game is. You lose the game, you do

375
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:01,120
Speaker 6: worry about does some of the air come out of

376
00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 6: the balloon? And how do he bounce back from it?

377
00:17:02,960 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 6: They have you not a big opponent the next week,

378
00:17:05,480 --> 00:17:07,359
Speaker 6: but a couple of weeks later they have Florida, and

379
00:17:07,440 --> 00:17:08,880
Speaker 6: Florida beat them last year.

380
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, anybody watching, he has his predictions on the screen

381
00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:14,320
Speaker 4: for the playoffs.

382
00:17:14,720 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 3: Seven is Iowa State?

383
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:16,080
Speaker 6: Now?

384
00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,920
Speaker 3: Was that before or after their win over Kansas?

385
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:19,679
Speaker 7: That was before?

386
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:20,280
Speaker 3: Really?

387
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 7: That was before? Yeah. Look, Matt Campbell's a really good coach.

388
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 6: When I spoke to him for a while this summer,

389
00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 6: one of the things that he stressed is, you know,

390
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 6: five years or so ago, they had the best season

391
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 6: in Iowa State history. They finished number nine. Then the

392
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:35,560
Speaker 6: culture of the program kind of got.

393
00:17:35,440 --> 00:17:38,280
Speaker 7: Away from them a little bit for a variety of reasons.

394
00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,240
Speaker 6: He was telling me and talking to some of the

395
00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 6: players inside the program. You know, he's got rock Obeck,

396
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:48,000
Speaker 6: Anthony Beck's son, who is just a gamer. He's a

397
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,760
Speaker 6: really tough kid. He makes finds a way to make

398
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 6: plays in the clutch. He's just got like kind of

399
00:17:53,280 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 6: the winner quality to him, and he ended up beating

400
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,440
Speaker 6: out an Elite eleven, you know, higher rank to recruit

401
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:01,080
Speaker 6: JJ Cole and ended up transfer and out for the

402
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:02,600
Speaker 6: job and hung onto the job.

403
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 7: And I think it's a big deal.

404
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:09,399
Speaker 6: Like he talked about how much Rocobec has helped in re.

405
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,880
Speaker 7: Establishing the culture there.

406
00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 6: You saw it last week when he trusted his guy

407
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:16,359
Speaker 6: on fourth and three in a tough spot with a

408
00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,280
Speaker 6: little over two minutes left. He went for it and

409
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,720
Speaker 6: it paid off. And again Matt Campbell over the last

410
00:18:21,720 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 6: couple of years has been one of the most conservative

411
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:26,920
Speaker 6: coaches when it comes to going for it on fourth down,

412
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,359
Speaker 6: and he was like, scrap that. I trust my guys

413
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:30,000
Speaker 6: to come through.

414
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 7: They did.

415
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 6: I'm not saying they're running the table, but I think

416
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,400
Speaker 6: they're going to win the Big twelve.

417
00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 7: And I do think they'll be a playoff.

418
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:39,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think Texas Tech in there anywhere. Bruce,

419
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,240
Speaker 3: that's my long shot to make the playoffs. But I

420
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 3: just see Arizona State. We love that team. Quarterback coach

421
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 3: Texas Tech, any thoughts can they can they sneak in?

422
00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:51,240
Speaker 6: I mean, they spent a ton of money on the portal.

423
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 6: They got a big budget. They've upgraded on both lines.

424
00:18:54,160 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 4: Now.

425
00:18:54,320 --> 00:18:57,480
Speaker 6: Quentin Joyner, who was at USC last year, really their

426
00:18:57,520 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 6: most talented running back. As we reported, you know, a

427
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 6: couple of days ago, he's out for the season with

428
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 6: an injury. That's going to hurt them because now they

429
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 6: have two, you know, largely unproven backs who're gonna have

430
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:13,040
Speaker 6: to shoulder the load. We'll see how this is going

431
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,360
Speaker 6: to go. I mean, I think they'll be pretty good.

432
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 6: I don't know if they to me. The gap between

433
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,439
Speaker 6: all these teams and the Big twelve is so close,

434
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,760
Speaker 6: you know, I just think that there's there's nobody who

435
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 6: has Ohio State, Penn State, you know, LSU, Georgia kind

436
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:31,320
Speaker 6: of talent in this It's not even close.

437
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:33,160
Speaker 7: Like so in here, it's very bunchie.

438
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 6: It's like which quarterback do you trust the most and

439
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,480
Speaker 6: which which team can just kind of go on a roll.

440
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:40,840
Speaker 7: Last year Arizona.

441
00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 6: State, I felt like they fed off Camp Skataboo's energy

442
00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:45,679
Speaker 6: and they went from being the team everybody thought was

443
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 6: at the bottom to win in the whole winning the

444
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,480
Speaker 6: whole conference and then almost knocking Texas out of the playoffs.

445
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 6: You know, so I like Kenny Dillingham. I think he's

446
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 6: a great fit there. You know, I think there'll be

447
00:19:57,119 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 6: the other team in the playoff, but you never know

448
00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 6: what the twelve.

449
00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 7: The teams you think are.

450
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 6: Going to be really good just bottom out, and the

451
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 6: teams you don't expect much from they end up surging.

452
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 3: All right, Last one, real quick up.

453
00:20:07,800 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 4: Bryce Underwood is the new quarterback at Michigan. This is

454
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 4: the kid who got like a ton of money, right,

455
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 4: wasn't he heavily recruited by some some donor. He flipped

456
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 4: from LSU to Michigan. What's the status on the Wolverines here.

457
00:20:22,040 --> 00:20:23,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, he's going to be the guy.

458
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 6: I mean, he's six six four two point thirty, can

459
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:30,000
Speaker 6: really run. You know, he was the top ranked high

460
00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:33,560
Speaker 6: school quarterback in the country last year. He's got, you know,

461
00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 6: high level playmaking skills. Everybody down there is excited about him.

462
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,639
Speaker 6: But he's still a true freshman quarterback. The thing that

463
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:42,840
Speaker 6: would that would give me pause about him is he's

464
00:20:43,119 --> 00:20:45,720
Speaker 6: a true freshman quarterback and there is not a ton

465
00:20:45,800 --> 00:20:47,879
Speaker 6: of elite talent around him.

466
00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:48,600
Speaker 7: On offense.

467
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,359
Speaker 6: He does not have anything close to what Penn State

468
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 6: has in the running back room. He has nothing close

469
00:20:55,600 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 6: to what Julian's saying at Ohio State has from the

470
00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 6: receiver room. You know, the all line is not what

471
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 6: it used to be when JJ McCarthy was playing behind it.

472
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 6: Then they had like one of the best old lines

473
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 6: in the country. I think right now it's pretty good,

474
00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 6: but I don't know if it's any more than that.

475
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:12,159
Speaker 7: Last year it wasn't even that, you know.

476
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 6: And by the way, last year they had Kalel Mullings

477
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,320
Speaker 6: who they leaned on and really won some games for them.

478
00:21:17,359 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 6: That guy's gone. I think they're more of an eight

479
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 6: and four kind of team. I'm fascinated to see how

480
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 6: he does. You have a new offensive coordinator, Chip Lindsay

481
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,840
Speaker 6: comes in. I don't expect them to throw it all

482
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,000
Speaker 6: over the yard, but they couldn't pass it at all

483
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 6: last year. I think they will be able to throw

484
00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 6: it some because you have a guy who last year

485
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:40,600
Speaker 6: they wanted Alex Orgy, who is like similar size, really athletic,

486
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 6: probably not as instinctive of a runner, and struggled as

487
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,320
Speaker 6: a passer, and they did not have difference makers outside.

488
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,439
Speaker 7: You know, Colston Levelin was a really good tight end,

489
00:21:51,480 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 7: but he got banged up.

490
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 6: It's hard for me to look at Michigan and say, oh, yeah,

491
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:57,840
Speaker 6: they're anywhere near as.

492
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,399
Speaker 7: Good as Penn State or Ohio State. I don't feel

493
00:22:01,440 --> 00:22:03,640
Speaker 7: like that right about right now, about them, all.

494
00:22:03,560 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 3: Right, Bruce Feldman, Fox Sports, great stuff, he's king of

495
00:22:07,040 --> 00:22:07,800
Speaker 3: college football.

496
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,880
Speaker 4: Enjoy the opener, Bruce. Everybody will be watching you and

497
00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: following you online. Thanks buddy, Thanks you all right. Great

498
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,000
Speaker 4: stuff for Bruce Feldman. Now, folks, I don't want to

499
00:22:20,840 --> 00:22:24,000
Speaker 4: sound like a five alarm fire, but we have major

500
00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 4: seismic news. Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are engaged.

501
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:37,040
Speaker 5: Do I mean to do the alarm? So teenage girls

502
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 5: at home?

503
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, people are freaking. My wife's just texted me about it.

504
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:44,280
Speaker 4: So Taylor Swift's I guess Instagram post your English teacher

505
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,520
Speaker 4: and your gym teacher are getting married with a stick

506
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 4: of dynamite.

507
00:22:48,960 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: Congrats to the happy couple.

508
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 4: Maybe we'll do a little more on this later in

509
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 4: the show or the entire final hour.

510
00:22:54,640 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: I don't know.

511
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 4: We may have to bump a guest to bring on

512
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,600
Speaker 4: like a wedding plan. I don't know what the game

513
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:03,080
Speaker 4: plan is. There is no playbook for this, but maybe

514
00:23:03,119 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 4: we'll get Colin to call in and offer his thoughts.

515
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 3: On the couple. Remember when people thought this was a.

516
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 4: Hoax, they were like, oh, this is a fake relationship.

517
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:11,640
Speaker 4: Remember that nonsense.

518
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, but you know, real swifties knew the truth.

519
00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 3: They knew.

520
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 4: Yes, by the way, you and your family, did you

521
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 4: guys see Taylor Swift out here so far? Of course

522
00:23:19,480 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 4: we did.

523
00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:22,159
Speaker 5: I got two teenage daughters. Come on, this is like

524
00:23:22,280 --> 00:23:23,479
Speaker 5: Target Demo Central.

525
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie.

526
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,679
Speaker 4: I know our audience is like ninety percent men, but

527
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:28,480
Speaker 4: I'm gonna be real.

528
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 3: I went to the concert. It was fire. It was amazing,

529
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,359
Speaker 3: the best concert I've ever seen.

530
00:23:32,640 --> 00:23:34,720
Speaker 5: I would say this for all the guys out there

531
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:38,359
Speaker 5: listening to this news, this is a reminder to shoot

532
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:43,840
Speaker 5: your shot. Okay. Because Travis Kelcey wanted to meet Taylor Swift.

533
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 5: He thought she was pretty obviously one of the smart

534
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,119
Speaker 5: most successful women in the world, and went to the

535
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,680
Speaker 5: stadium during her concert to try to meet her. Didn't

536
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 5: work out, so instead he went on his own podcast

537
00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:00,440
Speaker 5: and put out the call and just said into the air,

538
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,919
Speaker 5: I would like to go out with Taylor Swift. Taylor, please,

539
00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:06,560
Speaker 5: I want to go out with you. And it worked.

540
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,719
Speaker 5: It worked, Jason, Yeah, shoot your shot. It's never too

541
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,479
Speaker 5: long a shot.

542
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 4: So, by the way, Rachel, our staff is now saying

543
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: that you are wearing Taylor Swift red, which you announced

544
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,960
Speaker 4: in the first hour. I did, and then they got

545
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 4: engaged in the second hour. Are you do you know something?

546
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 4: Do you want to tell us anything?

547
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 8: Nothing?

548
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 5: We're gonna talk about on TV.

549
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: All right, coming up next, we'll just tear up the

550
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 4: rest of the show and just do Taylor Swift and.

552

00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:37,080

Speaker 4: Going to be the next royal wedding here, I mean,

586
00:26:06,440 --> 00:26:08,200
Speaker 4: whenever they set the date. I got one of our

587
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 4: guys here on the stage was like, I know who

588
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 4: I'm not drafting in fantasy any guy who's ever been part.

589
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 3: Of wedding playing kind of involved and you can only

590
00:26:18,680 --> 00:26:21,159
Speaker 3: do so much. Yeah, sure, sure, whatever you want. I

591
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:21,880
Speaker 3: do need to ask.

592
00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,080
Speaker 4: So, according to the Associated Press, Rachel, yes, they have

593
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 4: been dating for two years. Yes, I don't know how

594
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,160
Speaker 4: personal you want to get, but before you were married,

595
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,280
Speaker 4: how long did you date the guy you ended up marrying.

596
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,159
Speaker 5: I'm a little different, So I dated the guy I

597
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 5: ended up marrying when I was a teenager at summer camp. Whoa,

598
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:43,960
Speaker 5: And then we didn't see each other for ten years,

599
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:46,760
Speaker 5: and then he tracked me down and found me and

600
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 5: we dated for less than a year before we got engaged.

601
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,560
Speaker 5: So it's one of those things where because it worked out,

602
00:26:51,640 --> 00:26:54,600
Speaker 5: it's incredibly romantic, and if it hadn't worked out, the

603
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:57,280
Speaker 5: tracking down would have been stocking talk. So well, you know,

604
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:57,879
Speaker 5: we'll never know.

605
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:00,640
Speaker 3: I was about to say, so, is he a official

606
00:27:00,640 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 3: stalker or.

607
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:05,040
Speaker 5: Facebook or fantastic? And you know, did I'm married for

608
00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:06,080
Speaker 5: twenty some of the years.

609
00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 3: That's congratulations.

610
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 4: The whole like two years seems like OKOD, But I

611
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 4: don't know if they've lived together.

612
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,359
Speaker 3: I know that the old school. People are gonna be like, no,

613
00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:15,280
Speaker 3: can't live together.

614
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,560
Speaker 4: I highly recommend living together before you get married. I

615
00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 4: don't know if these two have because a little do

616
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 4: you want to share any insight onto that one or No?

617
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,560
Speaker 5: I believe that they have lived in each other's homes, meetings,

618
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:30,959
Speaker 5: and a weekend is different than living. I don't think

619
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:33,160
Speaker 5: it's been a weekend. So they did did you did

620
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 5: you listen to the two hour podcast?

621
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 3: No, my wife and daughter did.

622
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 4: I was just like checking in from the other room

623
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:43,439
Speaker 4: watching Hunting Wives on low volume.

624
00:27:44,200 --> 00:27:46,920
Speaker 5: So, by the way, I can't believe you're looking down

625
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:49,720
Speaker 5: your nose at Taylor and Travis because you were watching

626
00:27:49,760 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 5: hunting mobs. But we'll get back to that. No, they

627
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 5: were talking all about like what they do at home.

628
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:57,800
Speaker 5: She's really into baking sourdough at the moment. She has

629
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,560
Speaker 5: all these nicknames for her sour doughs that he does

630
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:02,719
Speaker 5: this around the house, she does that around the house.

631
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 5: And to me, the most revelatory things she said about

632
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 5: the NFL and how much she's changed as a football fan,

633
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:11,240
Speaker 5: because of course, you know, there's been a lot of

634
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 5: uproar about how much do they show her on the

635
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,360
Speaker 5: screen and why is she in my space and all

636
00:28:15,359 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 5: of that stuff. She freely admits she's like when we

637
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 5: started dating, I didn't know what a tight end was.

638
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 5: And she made a joke that she thought the quarterbacks

639
00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,119
Speaker 5: actually faced each other on the field, that all the

640
00:28:25,119 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 5: players were out at the same time, which, I mean,

641
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 5: you know, it's kind of good. Was in that top

642
00:28:29,080 --> 00:28:29,760
Speaker 5: Gun movie.

643
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,080
Speaker 4: Right, that's how we talk about you do say, hey,

644
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,280
Speaker 4: quarterback's battling, right, Yeah, you said.

645
00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes versus Josh Allen. Yes, whatever. Anyway, but she

646
00:28:37,920 --> 00:28:41,000
Speaker 5: has become such a diehard that she said that she

647
00:28:41,040 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 5: and Travis were in different places during the NFL draft

648
00:28:44,160 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 5: a year ago and she start running through the house screaming,

649
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 5: we drafted Xavier or were they? And her friends who

650
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 5: were over at the house were like, did someone body

651
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 5: snatch you? I mean, she's clearly into it, and they

652
00:28:57,160 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 5: spend a lot of.

653
00:28:58,080 --> 00:29:00,680
Speaker 3: Time together before we get to heard line.

654
00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,840
Speaker 4: I'm sure you guys have seen the memes, but Travis

655
00:29:02,880 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 4: Kelce has changed a lot in the last like seven years.

656
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 3: His look, Yeah, he was like me. He had the

657
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:09,120
Speaker 3: two hoop ear rings.

658
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,560
Speaker 4: He would wear like gold chains, and I saw a

659
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:14,400
Speaker 4: meme that I just started dying of laughter. Was Travis

660
00:29:14,440 --> 00:29:17,200
Speaker 4: Kelce used to look like a guy who sold vape

661
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:19,640
Speaker 4: cartridges behind seven to eleven, and now he's marrying the

662
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:22,920
Speaker 4: most famous person in the world, and it's kind of funny.

663
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:24,640
Speaker 3: Anyways, all right, let's go to Rachel with the news.

664
00:29:25,440 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 2: No news, this is the herd Line news.

665
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 5: The only couple Jason that couldknock Travis Taylor and Travis

666
00:29:35,440 --> 00:29:37,880
Speaker 5: and Taylor off the news is Michaeh and Jerry Right,

667
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 5: Michael Parsons Jerry Jones continue their Texas two step ahead

668
00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,200
Speaker 5: of Week one, both sides still unable to come to

669
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,720
Speaker 5: terms on a long term agreement just yet. They haven't

670
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:50,280
Speaker 5: even been talking, according to reports. Dak Prescott, though he's

671
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 5: dealt with this before, he does not seem concerned about

672
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 5: whether Michael will be ready for Week one.

673
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 10: I've got confidence. I've told you that well way back when,

674
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,880
Speaker 10: and I'm just going off of experience honestly, no different

675
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 10: than mine. So I've got confidence in that, just hoping,

676
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:09,320
Speaker 10: which I know he is, he's ready to play. There's

677
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 10: been a case of something similar to this the last

678
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,880
Speaker 10: three years, I believe, so if not before, I mean

679
00:30:16,920 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 10: I guess right now, as I say it, I think

680
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:23,000
Speaker 10: that's uh. People can take it however they want. I

681
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 10: think it's kind of part of the way guys think

682
00:30:24,800 --> 00:30:27,640
Speaker 10: and see things around here.

683
00:30:30,360 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 5: I mean, according to Micah, he's had a terrible back

684
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 5: injury that's kept him out all three season, so you know.

685
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,640
Speaker 3: He's ready to go.

686
00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 5: We'll see about that. But did you feel listening to

687
00:30:39,320 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 5: Dak that he was saying, Oh, we've got experience this,

688
00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 5: We're good, we can roll with it. Or do you

689
00:30:43,840 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 5: feel that he was listening to Dak it was we've

690
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 5: got experience. Jerry does this to us every.

691
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 3: Time that the ladder. Yes, I totally agree. I will

692
00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 3: say that that hat that Dak was wearing, did you

693
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,280
Speaker 3: see that? Look cool? And I'm one of these weird guys.

694
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 3: I'm not backward, not backward yet it looked cool and Dak.

695
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,320
Speaker 4: Sounds and it's supremely confident, like he was not like,

696
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 4: oh man, we're in trouble is the stinks we got

697
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,760
Speaker 4: to get it was just like nothing to see here.

698
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 3: That was a vibe I got from that.

699
00:31:08,280 --> 00:31:10,600
Speaker 5: Well, he himself, as you mentioned, went through this just

700
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:13,120
Speaker 5: last year, signed on the first day of the season,

701
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 5: so much later even than right now. But you have

702
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 5: to remember, and when I heard some of that exasperation

703
00:31:18,360 --> 00:31:20,120
Speaker 5: in his voice, this is what made me think of

704
00:31:20,400 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 5: is this isn't not just good for the Cowboys bottom line,

705
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 5: It's not good for the team. And that's not a revelation.

706
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,320
Speaker 5: But if you look back to last year where Dak

707
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,200
Speaker 5: signed on the last day of the season, Ceedee Lamb

708
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 5: signed actually a year to the day ago today, they

709
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 5: started the season one and two and they finished. Of

710
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 5: course we know seven and ten, and I can't say

711
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,720
Speaker 5: for sure that all of that your quarterback, you didn't

712
00:31:43,720 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 5: know what was going on with your quarterback. That didn't

713
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 5: cause an issue in not knowing what's going on with

714
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 5: Micah Parsons. I don't know how that's going to affect them,

715
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,920
Speaker 5: not idea, right, I don't know. They've lost a lot

716
00:31:53,920 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: of money doing this too. So you know, Sterry Jones,

717
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:01,320
Speaker 5: he's got plenty. Let's talk a little forty nine coming

718
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 5: off last season's down here San Francisco, hoping to avoid

719
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 5: a complete rebelt. Instead, they're going through this roster reshuffling.

720
00:32:08,840 --> 00:32:09,000
Speaker 6: Right.

721
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,760
Speaker 5: Speaking to Albert Preer, GM, John Lynch said that they've

722
00:32:11,760 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 5: been taking inspiration from the Rams and Bills, who went

723
00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:18,080
Speaker 5: through similar situations over the past couple of seasons, saying, quote,

724
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 5: you're boyd by the fact that we have people that

725
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 5: we respect who did it your picking them as one

726
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 5: of your top four teams to win the Super Bowl.

727
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 5: You believe in the reshuffle.

728
00:32:27,560 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah.

729
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,520
Speaker 4: I like this piece by Breer. I read it and

730
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 4: there was a funny rock party quote. Yeah, where he's

731
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:34,320
Speaker 4: like the Bills have Josh Allen, we have Rock Purty.

732
00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: John Lynch is supremely confident. I'm a rock party guy.

733
00:32:38,040 --> 00:32:39,880
Speaker 4: I think I saw him in like the nineties on

734
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:41,760
Speaker 4: that ESPN list, But that's neither here nor there.

735
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 3: I do think they're gonna be fine again.

736
00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: You wouldn't move off those defenders if they were good

737
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 4: last year.

738
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 3: They were not good last year. I know who.

739
00:32:50,680 --> 00:32:53,120
Speaker 4: Fungo was hurt, but like when he played, he didn't

740
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,680
Speaker 4: grade out. It's like having a good season. I think

741
00:32:56,680 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: the forty nine are going to be really good this year.

742
00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:01,360
Speaker 5: I'm worried about the end is the injuries. Yes, the

743
00:33:01,400 --> 00:33:04,120
Speaker 5: Wi wide receiver group, I mean they're one injury away

744
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:06,440
Speaker 5: from you and I playing wide receiver and ready running

745
00:33:06,440 --> 00:33:08,120
Speaker 5: back hasn't been much better.

746
00:33:08,240 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, there we go.

747
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 5: Let's talk about the Lions. We want to take too

748
00:33:11,960 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 5: much out of the preseason, right, Jason, But the Lions

749
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 5: did not play well one in three, getting out scored

750
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 5: by forty six points. Dan Campbell hadn't been like everything's fine,

751
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:25,520
Speaker 5: everything's fine, everything's fine until yesterday, where he admitted wasn't

752
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:26,640
Speaker 5: a great look. Take a listen.

753
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 8: Practices look really good. I see that. But all of

754
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,240
Speaker 8: a sudden, all four of these games have not been good.

755
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 8: That's an issue. Like, I think that's an issue, right,

756
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:37,960
Speaker 8: because all of a sudden, the lights are on and

757
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,280
Speaker 8: we're in real games and the coach in and behind you,

758
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 8: and there's no scripts and there's that's a little bit

759
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 8: you know that that could be a little bit concerning.

760
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 3: I think.

761
00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 5: We knew that there were gonna be issues with both

762
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,320
Speaker 5: coordinators leaving, right, especially Dan Campbell, who is considered just

763
00:33:56,360 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 5: a mad scientist wizard. But there's also been offensive line

764
00:33:59,720 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 5: into you're reshuffling. I mean, this is definitely a little

765
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 5: bit of a danger zone and a test for Jared.

766
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,160
Speaker 4: Goff right one hundred percent, Like what did he think

767
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,319
Speaker 4: was gonna happen when he gets two guys who haven't

768
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:11,320
Speaker 4: been coordinators either ever or in like six years.

769
00:34:11,719 --> 00:34:14,120
Speaker 3: Did he think there was gonna be a seamless transition? Like,

770
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 3: I don't know, Man, Colin is big on Dan Campbell

771
00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:22,279
Speaker 3: as like a coach, and I'm like, I don't know

772
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 3: if he's in exes and those guys, like anybody can

773
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:27,399
Speaker 3: walk around when they're stretching and let's go guys far

774
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: you know anybody could do that. We're gonna find out

775
00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,160
Speaker 3: what Dan Kimble's made of this year, Kay, Like we're

776
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:35,239
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm not knocking the guy. I just I

777
00:34:35,239 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: think it's gonna be a real tough one. And the

778
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 3: way they lost that Washington obviously you're a Washington fan.

779
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:42,600
Speaker 3: I was at my son's volleyball tournament watching that and

780
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 3: just dumbfounded by how dumb Detroit looked. Yeah, and I

781
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,319
Speaker 3: don't know if golf was concussed it was. That was

782
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 3: such a beat. They give him forty five points.

783
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:53,279
Speaker 5: Well, that's why I said it's gonna be a test

784
00:34:53,280 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 5: for him, right, because how much of it the past

785
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:58,280
Speaker 5: couple of years was him, how much it was the coordinator?

786
00:34:58,360 --> 00:34:59,960
Speaker 5: How you know, I mean, how much was the line?

787
00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:01,000
Speaker 5: We're gonna find out.

788

Speaker 4: You got what was he? There was another deal? Oh,

Speaker 4: Just I'm drilling down on the Taylor Swift. Travis Kelsey,

813
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,120

Speaker 4: are you getting texts from friends about this?

815
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 3: Because people are into this story.

816
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 4: Even dudes like who are like in my fantasy football

817
00:36:26,120 --> 00:36:27,279
Speaker 4: league are like popping off.

818
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:28,279
Speaker 3: This is a big deal.

819
00:36:28,360 --> 00:36:32,440
Speaker 5: What rock do you live underneath? This is huge?

820
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,840
Speaker 4: This is large even for diehard sports fans. They're like,

821
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:38,000
Speaker 4: oh my gosh, Travis kelcey, wow, you locked that up.

822
00:36:38,040 --> 00:36:38,879
Speaker 3: You put a ring on it.

823
00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:43,160
Speaker 4: As Beyonce said, now, I am curious this. The engagement

824
00:36:43,239 --> 00:36:46,280
Speaker 4: now means wedding next offseason.

825
00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:47,960
Speaker 3: Maybe he retires and gets married.

826
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 5: This is sort of the thinking, right, He's thirty five,

827
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 5: is turning thirty six, She's I think thirty five, maybe

828
00:36:56,200 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 5: turning thirty six. What do you think they both seem

829
00:36:58,800 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 5: to want kids? You know, I'm getting a little personal here,

830
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:01,839
Speaker 5: but what.

831
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:03,360
Speaker 4: Do you think this does for the rumors that she

832
00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,640
Speaker 4: might play at the Super Bowl and the twenty whatever?

833
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:09,759
Speaker 5: I mean, I wouldn't think. I can't imagine that she

834
00:37:09,800 --> 00:37:12,160
Speaker 5: would play. First of all, most acts don't play at

835
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:15,080
Speaker 5: the super Bowl until they're more legacy acts, right, because

836
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:18,000
Speaker 5: they can make a lot more money touring on their own, unless.

837
00:37:18,280 --> 00:37:19,600
Speaker 3: Lamar who wants to cross over?

838
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 5: Well, yes, but the super Bowl doesn't pay you, right,

839
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 5: you pay for your entire own show. So I don't

840
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,000
Speaker 5: know if she's doing that. I certainly don't think she's

841
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 5: doing that while he's still playing, because obviously she wants

842
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,520
Speaker 5: to watch him play if he's in the game. But yeah,

843
00:37:33,640 --> 00:37:36,680
Speaker 5: I mean they're both from you know, she's from Pennsylvania,

844
00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,480
Speaker 5: he's from Ohio. We know a lot about his family, right,

845
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 5: Mama Kelsey Jason. You know, she's from a very tight

846
00:37:42,480 --> 00:37:44,680
Speaker 5: knit family. She's very close to her parents. They both

847
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,719
Speaker 5: talked about wanting kids, So doesn't surprise me that as

848
00:37:47,760 --> 00:37:49,839
Speaker 5: they both enter their late thirties, this is something they're

849
00:37:49,840 --> 00:37:50,960
Speaker 5: thinking about.

850
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 4: Listen, I'm glad you were in Red and you have

851
00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 4: some good insight into this.

852
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 5: I was ready. Yeah, I'm just going to say that

853
00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:58,760
Speaker 5: was ready.

854
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,600
Speaker 3: Stay ready. That's what the co that's always told me

855
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 3: when I was sitting on the bench. Stay ready. J

856
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 3: mac All right, let's go to Michael Parson's real quick.

857
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,240
Speaker 4: So Matt Mosley was on the show yesterday talking about

858
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: the Micah Parsons situation, and we saw Trey Hendrickson get

859
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,719
Speaker 4: a deal, We saw Terry McClory get a deal. Now

860
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 4: we're just waiting, all right, Michah, can we just can

861
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,839
Speaker 4: we get it done now? Maybe Jerry wanted to wait

862
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 4: out Kelsey and Swift. You obviously don't want to be

863
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:23,239
Speaker 4: toppled by that news because that's going to dominate the

864
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:25,400
Speaker 4: news cycle for at least the next twenty four hours.

865
00:38:25,800 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 4: And then it's like, oh, wedding planners location in all

866
00:38:28,200 --> 00:38:31,960
Speaker 4: this dress all that. Sorry for saying it's nonsense, but

867
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:35,760
Speaker 4: it kind of is goofy to sports fans. Anyways, Micah

868
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 4: Parsons and Jerry, it's kind of ugly.

869
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:41,000
Speaker 3: But Matt Moseley says, uh, Parson's gonna be on the

870
00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 3: field for a week.

871
00:38:41,560 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 8: One.

872
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,640
Speaker 11: Remember who Jerry is, and remember how much he loves

873
00:38:47,760 --> 00:38:53,040
Speaker 11: the pageantry and the circus of all of this, and

874
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 11: the last minute get the deal signed is kind of

875
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 11: a fun thing for him. Dak got one of his

876
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 11: deals done the morning of the first game.

877
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 3: CD and Zeke's were done four or five days.

878
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 11: Every one of these holdouts in in the Cowboys capitulating, right,

879
00:39:13,880 --> 00:39:16,200
Speaker 11: I mean, name me one that they've won, like, well,

880
00:39:16,280 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 11: look at the Cowboys, they won this negotiation Zeke Zach.

881
00:39:22,080 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 11: I mean every CD they all end and the deals

882
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,560
Speaker 11: getting done.

883
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:31,440
Speaker 4: He's spot on there. And it's funny because we've spent

884
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: much of the last five months talking about the same stuff.

885
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: With Michael Parsons. Is he gonna sign? How much is

886
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:41,239
Speaker 3: this deal gonna be?

887
00:39:41,239 --> 00:39:43,120
Speaker 4: Oh, he's gonna wait for this guy to sign and

888
00:39:43,120 --> 00:39:45,160
Speaker 4: then sign for a dollar or a million more, whatever

889
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 4: it is, and then he's gonna get it done and

890
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,040
Speaker 4: it's gonna be week one. He's gonna play, he's not

891
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:52,319
Speaker 4: gonna miss a beat, His back's gonna be fine. And

892
00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 4: then I'm just like, why did we fall for this ropodope?

893
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,680
Speaker 3: Is there a way we can build this in so

894
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,759
Speaker 3: next year when there's a big name who's dragging it.

895
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:05,320
Speaker 4: Out, these deals always get done. Is there a way

896
00:40:05,440 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 4: so we don't have to fall victim to that? And

897
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,879
Speaker 4: I guess with the Cowboys, as long as Jerry Jones

898
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,640
Speaker 4: is run on the show, this is just how it's

899
00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,720
Speaker 4: gonna be. It's gonna be a knockdown, drag out battle

900
00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:18,360
Speaker 4: till the very last minute. Then it's gonna get done.

901
00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 4: Everybody's going to be cheering. It's kumbaya. There were never

902
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:25,000
Speaker 4: any problems. I mean, I don't expect Michael Parsons to

903
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 4: show up for Week one like.

904
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 3: Ten pounds overweight and not having been working out.

905
00:40:28,880 --> 00:40:31,279
Speaker 4: Of course, he guys are in a specimen in the

906
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,000
Speaker 4: prime of his NFL career.

907
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:34,360
Speaker 3: Of course he's working.

908
00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,000
Speaker 4: I mean, I still remember the Dureaux Reevis hold out

909
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:39,799
Speaker 4: with my Jets back in the day. So concerned, Oh

910
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,879
Speaker 4: my gosh, because he was on such a cheap rookie deal.

911
00:40:42,520 --> 00:40:45,319
Speaker 3: Was this fifteen years ago? And then he plays weak one?

912
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,359
Speaker 3: I mean he was great. This is you know, this

913
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,640
Speaker 3: is what these guys do. They're professional athletes.

914
00:40:50,880 --> 00:40:55,880
Speaker 4: They stay ready and so Dallas, I cannot I just

915
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:59,240
Speaker 4: can't get concerned with this Micah Parsons thing. The only

916
00:40:59,280 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 4: one that could have long term ramifications is what's the

917
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 4: trickle down in the locker room.

918
00:41:04,520 --> 00:41:06,840
Speaker 3: And around the league? Hey man, do you want to

919
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:09,359
Speaker 3: deal with that crap in Dallas or do you want

920
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: to go to XYZ where the owner takes care of

921
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 3: you early and quickly. And I know the Jags took

922
00:41:15,239 --> 00:41:18,400
Speaker 3: heap for the Trevor Lawrence early extension. Oh what a

923
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:21,680
Speaker 3: bad deal? No no, no, no no, he signed it

924
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:26,360
Speaker 3: super early, below market value at least what it's going

925
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:27,080
Speaker 3: to be when CJ.

926
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:30,120
Speaker 4: Stroud all everybody else gets paid. It was a smart

927
00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 4: business decision by the Jaguars. Imagine that world. The Jags

928
00:41:35,160 --> 00:41:39,879
Speaker 4: are making smart business decisions and the Cowboys America's team

929
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:43,440
Speaker 4: is fumbling the bag once again. Like honestly, if you

930
00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:45,399
Speaker 4: go look at that Trevor Lawrence here, you're like, Wow,

931
00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:48,879
Speaker 4: I'm smart. Get it done early, no drama, Lawrence can

932
00:41:48,960 --> 00:41:51,920
Speaker 4: lock in. I mean, that's just that's the way to go.

933
00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:55,000
Speaker 4: And Jerry just refuses to do that for the show

934
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:58,240
Speaker 4: of it all, for the Netflix show, for the social

935
00:41:58,280 --> 00:42:01,920
Speaker 4: media reactions, so he can put his feet up at

936
00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:05,840
Speaker 4: his palace that he lives in and turn on a

937
00:42:05,880 --> 00:42:07,920
Speaker 4: TV and see his face.

938
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:10,360
