I look.

All Right. 19 00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,600 Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna hurt myself patting myself on 20 00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: the back, but I may hurt myself patting myself on 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:19,800 Speaker 1: the back because I told you that this or we 22 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:25,160 Speaker 1: asked the question all off season is this the year 23 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,800 Speaker 1: the year that the league figures out how to actually 24 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:32,840 Speaker 1: beat the Chiefs? And I don't know if this will 25 00:01:32,880 --> 00:01:36,160 Speaker 1: be the entire year or if it's just the beginning 26 00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: of a year in which people have There's been two 27 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,520 Speaker 1: straight games. Now there's also been two straight games, and 28 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:44,600 Speaker 1: this is kind of interesting. There's also been two straight 29 00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:50,040 Speaker 1: games where the Chiefs have been victims of the other 30 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:54,560 Speaker 1: side of officiating. For the last however many years, six 31 00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 1: seven years, there's been the running conspiracy theory that and 32 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,480 Speaker 1: you Reid Pat Mahomes, they must have pictures of somebody 33 00:02:01,480 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: because they get every call. And now you saw some 34 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: false starts that were not called against the defending champion 35 00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:12,239 Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles last week. There was what appeared to be 36 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,640 Speaker 1: a pretty obvious hold on the game winning touchdown passed 37 00:02:15,639 --> 00:02:19,720 Speaker 1: from Justin Herbert, also not called. So the Chiefs fans 38 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,519 Speaker 1: who have forever been annoying with the what do I 39 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,960 Speaker 1: mean we get calls? Now they don't get calls two 40 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:29,400 Speaker 1: weeks in a row, and you would you would think 41 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 1: we said the Lord's name in vain and game the finger. 42 00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: Here's Chris Jones, defensive lineman star for the Kansas Chiefs 43 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:39,519 Speaker 1: on the no calls on false start. 44 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:43,239 Speaker 3: You know, sometimes can't get them all all the calls right, 45 00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:46,040 Speaker 3: and just because we see it. 46 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 4: Sometimes the official is fifteen to twenty feet away. 47 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: Sometimes it can miss those small things. 48 00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 4: And we think he jumped multiple times, so an official 49 00:02:57,600 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 4: didn't see it, so it wasn't call. 50 00:02:59,040 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 3: And you know, we got to go play in this out. 51 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 5: Is that something you guys have seen on tape before 52 00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 5: as you prepared. 53 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 3: For this, Is that happened? 54 00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:10,880 Speaker 4: Sometimes it happens. People jump all the time. It's just 55 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 4: you know, if the official see it, they'll call it. 56 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,360 Speaker 4: I don't think they've seen it those few plays, and 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:17,399 Speaker 4: we didn't get a call. 58 00:03:18,440 --> 00:03:21,079 Speaker 1: Okay, So that was on the Toush push. There were 59 00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:24,120 Speaker 1: two plays on the tush push where the Eagles appeared 60 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: to jump, and now one of them the eagle. The 61 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 1: Chiefs look like they jumped as well, but still wasn't called. 62 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:39,280 Speaker 1: Wasn't called. And and I understand that you can use 63 00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,640 Speaker 1: the old coach speak, you make your own luck, and 64 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,360 Speaker 1: good teams get calls. Bad teams don't get calls. But 65 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,040 Speaker 1: it is weird that how now they're right there on 66 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,560 Speaker 1: you know, on the border and look there's other things 67 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,080 Speaker 1: that went into loosing the game, but they don't get 68 00:03:55,120 --> 00:04:00,520 Speaker 1: those important calls. Two weeks in a row, I thought 69 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: the it's not an indictment of Travis Kelcey, but it's 70 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,240 Speaker 1: it's a play where you can go. 71 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 2: God just he looked a little old on It was. 72 00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,360 Speaker 1: The interception which I think Karen sort of into the 73 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: end zone right where Kelsey's open. It's at the end 74 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 1: of the third quarter. It was a magnificent drive by 75 00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:24,040 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. Fourteen plays. They get down right down there 76 00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: and throw a little slant to Travis Kelcey, and it 77 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: just felt like he was what two three inches behind 78 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,600 Speaker 1: in terms of speed where he normally would be, and 79 00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 1: so the ball was just it was in his reach, 80 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 1: but not perfectly in his reach. And then he had 81 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:45,359 Speaker 1: it but didn't have it, and it bobbles up in 82 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: the air and it's like a Keystone Cops thing, and 83 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,600 Speaker 1: suddenly the defense comes down with it, like that's an indictment. 84 00:04:51,160 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 1: That's what age looks like. You're not incapable of playing. 85 00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: You're just not capable of doing all the things you 86 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,200 Speaker 1: used to do consistently. 87 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:01,640 Speaker 2: And the things you. 88 00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,240 Speaker 1: Do you're gonna do just a little bit slower. I mean, 89 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:06,400 Speaker 1: if you watch Aaron Rodgers yesterday, and obviously he's much 90 00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 1: older than Travis Kelcey, but some of the same stuff 91 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: where you know, he looks young in the face. He 92 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 1: moves pretty well, but he's just not moving as well. 93 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,800 Speaker 1: Here's Andy Ree when he was asked about the same 94 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: toush push fall starts. 95 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:22,159 Speaker 6: If guys are moving early, then you've got to you know, 96 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,560 Speaker 6: you've got to call that. So they'll go back and 97 00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 6: look at that and see what their what their evaluation is. 98 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,839 Speaker 6: It could be different than mine mine. I felt like 99 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:33,920 Speaker 6: the guys were moving, That's why I was griping about it, 100 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:37,359 Speaker 6: you know, and on the sideline there, so it's, uh, 101 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,640 Speaker 6: you know, sometimes people see things different. So we'll see 102 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 6: where it goes. They'll have a chance to evaluate it, 103 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,640 Speaker 6: and I'll be curious to see what what the response is. 104 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, I thought that was a very 105 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,560 Speaker 1: measured way of saying it for a head coach. Here's 106 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: Nick Siriani. Always measured head coach the Eagles on those 107 00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,599 Speaker 1: complaints by the Chiefs about the toush. 108 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:03,880 Speaker 7: Push, and I fuss at the referees at times when 109 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 7: when I think it goes one way, and I would 110 00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:09,599 Speaker 7: expect them to do the exact same thing. So yeah, 111 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 7: it's just a good effort because you know, when you're 112 00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 7: running that play, everyone knows you're running that play. So 113 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 7: there's something there's something pretty cool about being able to 114 00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 7: execute a play when you know exactly what's coming. And 115 00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 7: it just speaks to the volumes. 116 00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 2: Of our guys. 117 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 7: We work our butts off on it. First of all, 118 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:27,479 Speaker 7: it's all about the guys, right, It's all about the 119 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,039 Speaker 7: guys up front. The tight ends Jalen. The timing of 120 00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 7: everything obviously won't get into all the things that we 121 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,039 Speaker 7: do to prepare for it. But you know, it's not 122 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 7: an easy play to practice, but our guys do a 123 00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:42,120 Speaker 7: great job of simulating it as much as we possibly can. 124 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 7: You know, during practice, during walkthroughs, different things like that, 125 00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 7: creativity by our coaches to find ways to do that. 126 00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 7: As you can see, teams are going to do everything 127 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 7: they can possibly do to stop it, so you can see. 128 00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,760 Speaker 7: You know, some of the things won't get into that either. 129 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,000 Speaker 7: I don't want give any other teams a clue to 130 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:08,240 Speaker 7: what they were doing, but you know, and we're prepared 131 00:07:08,279 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 7: for all those things and the guys are prepared for 132 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 7: all those things, but I think it always comes down 133 00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,960 Speaker 7: to those guys up front and Jailen. I've had a 134 00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:18,920 Speaker 7: lot of success with that play, and you know, we'll 135 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:21,080 Speaker 7: continue to use it to our advantage. 136 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: So my guess would be that from this point forward, 137 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,320 Speaker 1: the league gets it and they're going to be super 138 00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:30,680 Speaker 1: tight with the fall start calls on the Eagles, much 139 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:34,360 Speaker 1: like last year, this time there was the film out 140 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 1: on the Chiefs and their left tackle being essentially in 141 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:42,080 Speaker 1: the backfield, and those were called a bunch in the 142 00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:46,280 Speaker 1: rest of the season. But let's not let's not get 143 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 1: a twisted. Those are miss calls. Chiefs still could have 144 00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,840 Speaker 1: won the game. Ball was in Travis Kelsey's hand right 145 00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: around the one yard line, and the ball bounced up, 146 00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 1: caring up in the air and it got intercepted. Let's 147 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,200 Speaker 1: let's not make excuses to know the Chiefs have been 148 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: in those close games for years and this is the 149 00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 1: first year where two games in they're losing them. So 150 00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:15,200 Speaker 1: let's not mistake in ourselves into thinking that the reps 151 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 1: are the reason that the Chiefs are zero and two. 152 00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:20,520 Speaker 1: Some of it you make your own breaks, some of 153 00:08:20,560 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: it just the team that's better, will get a break 154 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,040 Speaker 1: or two. Some of it is at some point they 155 00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: had to get a bad whistle with the officiating, and 156 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 1: then you factor in some of the injuries they've had, suspension, 157 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 1: they have a wide receiver, and. 158 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:34,439 Speaker 2: I don't know. 159 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: My question all year was all off season, was is 160 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:41,360 Speaker 1: this the year that the league has caught up to 161 00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: the Chiefs. They have the Giants on the road, the 162 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:47,160 Speaker 1: Ravens at home, the Jaguars in the road, the Lions 163 00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,960 Speaker 1: at home, the Raiders at home, the Commanders at home. 164 00:08:52,240 --> 00:08:58,040 Speaker 1: So for the most part, you have your tougher teams Ravens, Lions, 165 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: Commanders of the next six at home, which makes them winnable, 166 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,800 Speaker 1: and the road games are winnable as well. But right now, 167 00:09:04,840 --> 00:09:06,680 Speaker 1: you just got to get one to get on the 168 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: board and get rolling, because with every loss, your probability 169 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:13,439 Speaker 1: of making the playoffs decreases, and with every loss, suddenly 170 00:09:13,480 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 1: it will feel and probably become a reality that you 171 00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: won't get as many calls. 172 00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 8: This is the best of the Done Dot Leap Show 173 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,040 Speaker 8: on Fox Sports Radio. 174 00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:26,800 Speaker 2: What I would you not got Leap Show? 175 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio, iHeartRadio app Welcome, Welcome, Welcome in. 176 00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: Uh we got a lot to get to. 177 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: First, I want to tell you that the LGX Boom 178 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:46,400 Speaker 1: Bounce is the portable speaker that delivers game changing sound 179 00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,720 Speaker 1: from practice to open runs.

What I love from the weekend 203 00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 11: happened in Pittsburgh yesterday and here's a snapshot of what happens. 204 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 12: Oh, let's go through the hands of Cane Johnson. 205 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 8: He may have touched on bell. 206 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 13: That would be a lot bell. Let's see what the 207 00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 13: ruling is here. 208 00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 12: It is a touchdown. 209 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 8: It's a touchdown. 210 00:11:04,720 --> 00:11:08,240 Speaker 12: Oh Seattle gets the score going. 211 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:08,640 Speaker 11: On the field. 212 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 2: The ball get in the landing zone. 213 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 5: On a kickoff, somebody's got to cover it for the 214 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 5: receiving team. 215 00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 12: It was recovered by the kicking team in the Amazon. 216 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 11: Touchdown completely changed the game in Saddle's favor. Yesterday, Caleb 217 00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:28,840 Speaker 11: Johnson with the air rookie Caleb Johnson, which some have 218 00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,200 Speaker 11: called a rookie mistake. That's what I also love about this. 219 00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 11: But with this love, there's a bit of hate to it. 220 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,040 Speaker 11: Fox TV Adam emin on the call there what I 221 00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 11: heard and ad on social media. A lot of excuses 222 00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,439 Speaker 11: stuff made up. Can can't have a rookie back there, 223 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:48,719 Speaker 11: rookie mistake, you know these new rules, can't have a 224 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 11: rookie back there. That doesn't apply to any of this, 225 00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,680 Speaker 11: absolutely none of it. It doesn't matter if you're a 226 00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,200 Speaker 11: rookie or you've spent twenty years in the NFL. You 227 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 11: need to know the room rules. And by the way, 228 00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:06,360 Speaker 11: the new rules really aren't that confusing. In this scenario, 229 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 11: if the ball would have landed short of the goal 230 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 11: line and go into the end zone, say in twenty 231 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 11: twenty one, guess what, you have to hire it up. Yes, 232 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:18,840 Speaker 11: so it's not a rookie mistake. The new rules may 233 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,599 Speaker 11: make it confusing, but it's not. You can't have a 234 00:12:21,679 --> 00:12:24,600 Speaker 11: rookie back there. You got to have someone back there 235 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 11: that knows the rules. What you can have is someone 236 00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:29,680 Speaker 11: that doesn't know the rules. And Caleb Johnson didn't know 237 00:12:29,720 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 11: the rules. Tomlin pulled them on the next kickoff because 238 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 11: the Seahawks had to kick off again because they scored. 239 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 11: But change the game and the Seahawks got a much 240 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:39,400 Speaker 11: needed win in Pittsburgh. 241 00:12:39,559 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 13: And I hate to let the listeners too far beyond 242 00:12:43,559 --> 00:12:46,960 Speaker 13: the curtain. Harabit and Doug's note to us last night 243 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 13: of things that intrigued him most from the weekend. He 244 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 13: made the comment, and I think this was aimed at you, Dan, 245 00:12:54,120 --> 00:12:57,200 Speaker 13: did you feel any sense of revenge from the Super 246 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:59,360 Speaker 13: Bowl twenty years ago? Yesterday? 247 00:12:59,480 --> 00:12:59,840 Speaker 2: Oh? 248 00:13:00,400 --> 00:13:03,800 Speaker 11: None, zero zilch. It was nice to get a win, 249 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,120 Speaker 11: but nothing will ever make up for that travesty of 250 00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,640 Speaker 11: officiating in Detroit on that Sunday evening. 251 00:13:10,400 --> 00:13:13,679 Speaker 10: Nothing, man, that was bad. 252 00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 12: That officiating in a Lions game. 253 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: You know, Detroit either. 254 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 12: Way, like still around the alliance. 255 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,720 Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I'm not sure if you're aware, 256 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:25,480 Speaker 1: but Jerome Bettison's from Detroit. 257 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,720 Speaker 10: I heard about that. I wasn't sure. 258 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:30,680 Speaker 2: Uh. 259 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: Chris Purfett, that's out of the noise. He's Detroit's finest. 260 00:13:33,520 --> 00:13:34,560 Speaker 1: What'd you left from the weekend? 261 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 12: I mean, is it too easy? I don't want to. 262 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 12: I know it's coming up on the show here. But 263 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,079 Speaker 12: after a lot of hand ringing, after can the Lions 264 00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,960 Speaker 12: win without Ben Johnson, after getting shellacked by what is 265 00:13:49,960 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 12: looking to be an absolute wagon of a defense by 266 00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 12: the Green Bay Packers, coming back and stepping up and 267 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:59,040 Speaker 12: putting fifty two points on the Chicago Bears, is really 268 00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,360 Speaker 12: hard to uh to not love that. But I'm gonna 269 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 12: pick out one thing I love from the game. Some 270 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,040 Speaker 12: Lions fans set up their own version of the Lambeau Leap. 271 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920 Speaker 12: You know, imitation is a serious form of flattery, things 272 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,080 Speaker 12: of that nature, called the Lions leap Zone. On the 273 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 12: third I'm on raw Saint Brown touchdown of the game 274 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:19,000 Speaker 12: really should have been the fourth. He got stopped like 275 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 12: one yard short of the goal line on a catch, 276 00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 12: Amana Saint Brown goes into the stands perfect form ten 277 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,560 Speaker 12: out of ten things of that nature. Jared Goff then 278 00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 12: tries to follow him up there, and I don't know 279 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 12: if you've seen the video, Doug, but it is a 280 00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 12: it's a struggle. It's it's definitely a dad trying to get, 281 00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,560 Speaker 12: you know, clamber over a fence. And it didn't go 282 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 12: well for Jared Goff, but in that moment, and you 283 00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:50,800 Speaker 12: could see on his face as like I probably bit 284 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 12: off more than I could chew. 285 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 11: But it just tip GoF leap is the first like 286 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 11: auto correct it was. 287 00:14:58,720 --> 00:15:00,920 Speaker 12: It was not. It didn't well for him, but it 288 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 12: was very fun and I love it. 289 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 13: Jase, Thank you, Doug. I'll take it from here.

There are so many times when 304 00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,840 Speaker 13: you look at Ben Johnson, especially yesterday, and you can 305 00:15:59,880 --> 00:16:04,920 Speaker 13: just palpably see him wishing he had Jared Goff so 306 00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:08,280 Speaker 13: many mistakes, and I know a lot of people are 307 00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 13: forgetting this, So I want to be the one guy 308 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 13: that keeps reminding people of this. Caleb Williams isn't just 309 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:17,200 Speaker 13: a generational talent. Remember, he was going to be the 310 00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 13: player that changed the way we did business in the NFL. 311 00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 13: He was going to ask for ownership of the team 312 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,280 Speaker 13: that drafted him. According to Seth Wickersham's recent book, he 313 00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 13: tried to leverage uh It so that the Vikings could 314 00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 13: draft him, or just so that he could pick to 315 00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 13: go to the Vikings and not have a draft like 316 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,320 Speaker 13: he was going to be the one that changed the system. Remember, 317 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:42,360 Speaker 13: and I want to keep reminding people of that this 318 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 13: isn't just your number one draft pick who wasn't doing well. 319 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:48,000 Speaker 13: This was the next thing. 320 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:48,680 Speaker 10: Guys. 321 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 11: Can I also add on to that because there's a 322 00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 11: Ben Johnson point, by. 323 00:16:56,920 --> 00:16:58,880 Speaker 1: The way, his love was, here's how much of a 324 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 1: hater Jason Stewart is. His love was actually really hate 325 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:03,480 Speaker 1: being hate? Yes, right, that's really what. 326 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 12: Don't we all love watching Caleb struggle? No am, I yes, 327 00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,200 Speaker 12: it's I at some point it's going to get old. 328 00:17:11,359 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 12: I just it feels bad. Sorry, go on. 329 00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,679 Speaker 11: Well, what's frustrating to me actually with Caleb Williams is 330 00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,720 Speaker 11: when you do see glimpses of how good he could be, 331 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 11: and it's just not like channeled through the world of 332 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:30,040 Speaker 11: an NFL quarterback. It's high school college quarterback. That's what's frustrating. 333 00:17:30,040 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 11: Like there, I think that the skills are right there, 334 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,280 Speaker 11: you see all of them, but for it to not 335 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:38,000 Speaker 11: to work out is got to be increasingly frustrating if 336 00:17:38,040 --> 00:17:40,320 Speaker 11: you're a Bears fan. The other portion of this is 337 00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,840 Speaker 11: I think Bears fans are saying, gosh, you know, we 338 00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,639 Speaker 11: should we should have taken Jane Daniels. So that was 339 00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 11: part of the takedown in ty Dunn's piece about the 340 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:53,440 Speaker 11: Bears of haw Ryan Poles didn't do any pre draft diligence, Yeah, 341 00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,960 Speaker 11: and ripped Drake May like put all this, put all 342 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,640 Speaker 11: of these lists of bad things that Drake May did 343 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 11: at quarterback because there was no way that they were 344 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,919 Speaker 11: going to draft him. But the problem with that is 345 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 11: Ben Johnson had a chance to coach Jaden Daniels, but 346 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 11: he withdrew from the commander's search as the commanders were 347 00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,800 Speaker 11: coming to interview him when he was the Lions offensive coordinator. 348 00:18:16,160 --> 00:18:18,639 Speaker 11: They had the second overall pick. You knew at that 349 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 11: point that they were going to take a quarterback. He 350 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 11: decided not to pull out as the commander's contingent was 351 00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,240 Speaker 11: on the way to Detroit to interview him and Aaron Glenn. 352 00:18:27,760 --> 00:18:31,240 Speaker 11: And then they end up hiring Dan Quinn, which right 353 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 11: now has been a pretty good hire and probably the 354 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 11: best hired there that hiring cycle. 355 00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:38,600 Speaker 12: If I could add one last thing to this too, 356 00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:41,520 Speaker 12: it's that there was a lot of ink spilled over 357 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 12: the past calendar week about can Jared Goff succeed without 358 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:48,439 Speaker 12: Ben Johnson or Sean McVay. And I think after that 359 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 12: game last night, I tried to make the joke this 360 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 12: can Ben Johnson succeed without Jared Goff. Didn't go over 361 00:18:55,480 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 12: so well with some people, But I. 362 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:01,879 Speaker 11: I think Detroit has set up better personnel wise. But 363 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,280 Speaker 11: the whole hiring of Ben Jonson is to fix Caleb Williams, 364 00:19:05,359 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 11: and two games in we haven't seen it. 365 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:13,400 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I loved. Do you remember when 366 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: Rich Rodriguez last coached at West Virginia and he left 367 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: for Michigan. They were twenty they were twenty six point 368 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: favorite to take take take down our rival Pitt last 369 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:30,280 Speaker 1: game of the year, backyard backyard brawl. They lost. He left, 370 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:33,879 Speaker 1: went to Michigan. By the way, this is same Rich 371 00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,160 Speaker 1: Rodriguez who turned down Alabama right turned down Alabama, went 372 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,920 Speaker 1: to Michigan, it didn't work, got fired, went to Arizona 373 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 1: some limited success, then got fired Arizona, circled back and 374 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,240 Speaker 1: ends up as head coach at West Virginia, come from 375 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: behind victory against Pitt in the backyard brawl. I don't 376 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:55,639 Speaker 1: know Rich Rod. I can't tell you if he's a 377 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 1: good dude, bad dude, or whatever. I have no idea. 378 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:00,439 Speaker 1: What I do know is he's the He's considered the 379 00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:06,359 Speaker 1: godfather of running out of the spread offense. You go 380 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,720 Speaker 1: back to his days at Tulane before he got to 381 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: West Virginia. Before that, it was all Mike Leach where 382 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,120 Speaker 1: they would throw it, you know, with wide splits, and 383 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: rich Rodriguez was the first to really run it out 384 00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:22,480 Speaker 1: of the spread. But more than anything, like, I just 385 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 1: I love the West Virginia Pittsburgh backyard brawl. That game 386 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: was pitt had complete momentum and West Virginia flipped it 387 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:33,360 Speaker 1: ends up winning a game. Rich Rod kind of goes 388 00:20:33,359 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 1: happy crazy in the postgame interview and getting a chance to, 389 00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: I don't know, to right his wrong or come back 390 00:20:39,880 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: and change the what it says on his tombstone in 391 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:44,160 Speaker 1: West Virginia. 392 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,760 Speaker 2: I think it was pretty cool. Loved it. 393 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:49,120 Speaker 1: Let's get there what we hated from the weekend. I'm 394 00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: gonna start. I'll start with this as the premise. Two things. One, 395 00:20:54,280 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 1: Deshaun Foster's a friend of mine. He's a former teamate 396 00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:58,359 Speaker 1: of mine at Tustin High School when I was a senior. 397 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:00,479 Speaker 1: He was a freshman basketball player. If I knew he's 398 00:21:00,480 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: gonna be a football star, So we do have a relationship. 399 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 1: He even came on with us. If you remember after 400 00:21:06,200 --> 00:21:11,960 Speaker 1: the really odd start to his coaching career at media 401 00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:17,840 Speaker 1: days at the packed B Day's last year, do I 402 00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,600 Speaker 1: think they were They were. 403 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:21,080 Speaker 2: Zero and three. 404 00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,719 Speaker 1: They lost to New Mexico at home. It was looking 405 00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: like a disaster. I'm not defending what the team looked like. Okay, 406 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 1: but do people understand UCLA's not even in school yet. 407 00:21:35,480 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: They don't start school until September twenty fifth. They're on 408 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:43,000 Speaker 1: the quarter system. He got his quarterback late. They took 409 00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:46,120 Speaker 1: the kid from Tennessee who tried to leverage Tennessee four 410 00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:48,879 Speaker 1: million dollars, ended up getting a million at UCLA and 411 00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:54,480 Speaker 1: looks like he's worth a buck fifty. Okay, So some 412 00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:58,200 Speaker 1: of this is in selection and somebody is the fact 413 00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: he wasn't their first choice and they around and he 414 00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:02,560 Speaker 1: was going to be a running backs coach with the Raiders, 415 00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,840 Speaker 1: I believe, and then they brought him back to being 416 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:08,880 Speaker 1: the head coach. That is all moderate UCLA, and it's 417 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:15,680 Speaker 1: not easy, but one season in three games and that's it. 418 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,719 Speaker 1: And do you guys know that every one of their 419 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: players for the next thirty days can get into the 420 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,280 Speaker 1: portal And oh yeah, by the way because they haven't 421 00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,640 Speaker 1: started school. Now, the schools they would have to leave 422 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: and go to would have to have space and the 423 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: ability to get them into school. But you could lose 424 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: your whole football team. 425 00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:35,680 Speaker 2: Lose your whole football team. 426 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how long you're supposed to be given 427 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,040 Speaker 1: in the college football process at the Power four level. 428 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,280 Speaker 1: I understand that, but I can tell you that that 429 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:49,119 Speaker 1: hits every under And it's not like DeShawn has personal problems. 430 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:49,639 Speaker 2: He doesn't. 431 00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: He's a good man, a good husband, a good father, 432 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 1: a good coach. Was it too big a job too soon? 433 00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 2: Maybe? 434 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: You know, But part of it was Chip Kelly left 435 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 1: to take an offensive coordator position because he didn't believe 436 00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:04,880 Speaker 1: you could win there, and a Shawn has proven right 437 00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:10,760 Speaker 1: now you can't win there. I just I you know, 438 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 1: I know Virginia Tech fired their coach. You're talking them, 439 00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,359 Speaker 1: what three games in to his fourth season? 440 00:23:15,640 --> 00:23:16,159 Speaker 2: But why are you. 441 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:20,360 Speaker 1: Firing coaches three games in? Like what is the point? Like, well, 442 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: they might turn around, they might win a bunch of games. Okay, 443 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: you can still fire them at the end of the season. 444 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,840 Speaker 1: But you know you don't do you don't put all 445 00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: your players up in the air in this turmoil where 446 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:32,680 Speaker 1: they can get you, they can leave. Every agent, every 447 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,360 Speaker 1: coach in the country's reached out to them. 448 00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,600 Speaker 2: You don't do that. Let them coach the season. 449 00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: If you want to fire them after the season, fire 450 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:41,040 Speaker 1: after the season, it's your right to do so. 451 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 2: Then you pay him to walk away. 452 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:45,159 Speaker 13: I just hate this now, Doug. I know he's your buddy, 453 00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,800 Speaker 13: or at least you went to high school with them 454 00:23:46,800 --> 00:23:49,320 Speaker 13: and stuff, and I have a very casual interest in 455 00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 13: college football, so I come. 456 00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,840 Speaker 1: By the way you say, he's also in the conversation 457 00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,439 Speaker 1: of worst college football job in the country. 458 00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:56,560 Speaker 13: But go ahead, well, okay, and if that's the case, 459 00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,000 Speaker 13: that's the case. But I just wish that there was 460 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:03,120 Speaker 13: some kind of an indicator, early indicator that maybe this 461 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:04,359 Speaker 13: wasn't gonna work out. 462 00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 2: UCLA and a Big Ten. 463 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 14: Where a school that's won what one hundred and twenty 464 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 14: three championships, so this fits us being right in this 465 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 14: conference football wise, which is excited. You know, I'm sure 466 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:23,000 Speaker 14: you guys don't know too much about UCLA but our 467 00:24:23,040 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 14: football program, but we're in LA. 468 00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 13: If only there was like an early indicator that he. 469 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: It was it wasn't, it wasn't great. It wasn't even good. 470 00:24:35,320 --> 00:24:41,640 Speaker 1: And it was funny, but it wasn't. Yeah, that wasn't great. 471 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:47,360 Speaker 2: Was it great? Feel bad for my guy? Anyway? 472 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: All right, Jace, you're a resident hater. You love, you hate? 473 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:52,280 Speaker 2: What do you hate? 474 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:55,560 Speaker 13: I'm gonna I'm gonna offer you guys up two words. 475 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,240 Speaker 13: It's actually one word and one number to be exact. 476 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:05,560 Speaker 13: Free four free four is what I hate. Travis Kelcey 477 00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,240 Speaker 13: and his teammates thought it would be a smart idea 478 00:25:08,359 --> 00:25:11,119 Speaker 13: to arrive in T shirts and work out in T 479 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 13: shirts with that read free four. Now the background there 480 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:19,600 Speaker 13: is that Roshie Rice, former I want to say, first 481 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:24,199 Speaker 13: round draft pick receiver of the Chiefs, had agreed to 482 00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:28,120 Speaker 13: be suspended for six games by the NFL this season 483 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 13: after pleading guilty too felony charges. He was the driver 484 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,480 Speaker 13: in a hit and run that took out several cars 485 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 13: on a freeway where he was driving recklessly. There were 486 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 13: reports of guns. Somehow that gun charge went away in 487 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 13: the process of the police. That is open for I 488 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 13: guess to debate dispute. Why would gun charges go away? 489 00:25:55,560 --> 00:26:01,400 Speaker 13: He received exactly zero jail time. Instead, he is not 490 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,480 Speaker 13: going to be able to play the first six weeks 491 00:26:03,520 --> 00:26:06,360 Speaker 13: of the chief season. Where does Free four come in? 492 00:26:06,760 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 13: He is free, he's not in prison. The only reason 493 00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 13: he's not in prison is because he's a member of 494 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 13: the Kansas City Chiefs. If he's just normal Joe schmol 495 00:26:16,640 --> 00:26:21,399 Speaker 13: in the streets, he recklessly drove into cars at a 496 00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:25,080 Speaker 13: high speed and fled the scene, and there were guns. 497 00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 13: Not sure where that went, not sure that went, but 498 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,960 Speaker 13: I will say you got off pretty easy, Chiefs. Free 499 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 13: four just seems very uh. I don't know, blind Am 500 00:26:37,520 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 13: I missing something? 501 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 10: Dan Byr No, I don't think that you are. But 502 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 10: I'll tell you what. 503 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,479 Speaker 11: I've got Andy Reid here talking about those T shirts, 504 00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:48,000 Speaker 11: and it sounds like he may be missing something. We 505 00:26:48,080 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 11: may have to pop the music down a little bit, Chris, 506 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,960 Speaker 11: just to hear this. But here's Andy Reid. 507 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:54,000 Speaker 6: I've seen it, sense, I didn't see it then, but 508 00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 6: I would tell you. I know these guys love Rashie 509 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:02,960 Speaker 6: and they feel form sitting out here, you know, and 510 00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 6: and so it's I think it's no more than that. 511 00:27:05,080 --> 00:27:05,240 Speaker 2: Man. 512 00:27:06,040 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 10: I just. 513 00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:11,320 Speaker 6: I'm sorry, Sam. I just think that those guys, they 514 00:27:11,760 --> 00:27:15,600 Speaker 6: they they love the kid and want them to feel 515 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 6: part of it in their own way. I really don't 516 00:27:20,520 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 6: think it's anything more in that sound. 517 00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 13: I mean, how moronic is this? 518 00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 2: Doug crazy? I mean, it's again just. 519 00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:33,359 Speaker 1: When you live in your own kind of athlete bubble 520 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,920 Speaker 1: is probably my only way in which I could sort 521 00:27:36,920 --> 00:27:39,320 Speaker 1: of understand it. But when I was like, like, that's 522 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:42,280 Speaker 1: not the world hasn't done for she Rice? 523 00:27:42,359 --> 00:27:44,240 Speaker 2: Wrong? Right, she Rice? 524 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 1: The only reason he's not in jail is because he's 525 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: a member of the Kansas Chiefs. 526 00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:49,720 Speaker 2: Iright, we're all. 527 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: And if only there was video of it too, Yeah, 528 00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: there was a video of it, So I just it's 529 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:01,119 Speaker 1: I'd like to feel bad for the Chiefs for not 530 00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,879 Speaker 1: getting those two false start calls on the tush push. 531 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,240 Speaker 1: I would you know, I don't. I'm not a big 532 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: Eagles guy. Everybody knows that. I think no one really 533 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: outside of Eagles fans or big Eagles people. But like, 534 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,560 Speaker 1: what do you like free four? This is not like 535 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:19,040 Speaker 1: he was incarcerated for a crime he didn't commit. He 536 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: suspended for football, and that's probably the most lenient punishment 537 00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 1: he could get. 538 00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,639 Speaker 2: I have zero sympathy for the Chiefs for that. 539 00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 11: I will also say, and I think that Andy Reid's 540 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:35,119 Speaker 11: the SoundBite was interesting because it was a couple of 541 00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,439 Speaker 11: years ago, prior to the Super Bowl, where Andy Reid's 542 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 11: son Yep, was involved in a traffic accident driving under 543 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:48,240 Speaker 11: the influence and severely injured a young child. And there's 544 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 11: not much difference in the two things to see. I 545 00:28:51,560 --> 00:28:54,320 Speaker 11: was curious on his perspective of it. Says obviously you 546 00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,160 Speaker 11: heard he didn't know that they were wearing the shirts, 547 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:00,160 Speaker 11: But I thought that his angle was an interesting ang a. 548 00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:02,240 Speaker 11: I was just curious to hear what his opinion was. 549 00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,520 Speaker 11: He said it didn't go too deep, and I sided 550 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 11: with Jason. 551 00:29:09,200 --> 00:29:13,080 Speaker 12: Last part is the important part, to be honest, well, 552 00:29:13,120 --> 00:29:15,480 Speaker 12: real quick, I hate going after Jason on these because 553 00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 12: now I feel like I'm trying to bring it back 554 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,440 Speaker 12: to a lighter tone on the hate rather than you know, 555 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:22,760 Speaker 12: everything goes. 556 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 10: Chris. 557 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 12: I've never been a fan of arch Manning I am. 558 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,480 Speaker 12: I've had questions about how vaunted he's been. If he 559 00:29:36,560 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 12: was named Archi Johnson, we wouldn't be talking about him 560 00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,320 Speaker 12: this way. I had questions about him getting annointed the 561 00:29:41,320 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 12: first overall pick and a Heisman favorite after barely any 562 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 12: time last year, and I kind of don't understand the 563 00:29:47,080 --> 00:29:49,840 Speaker 12: obsession with him right now. But what I hate isn't 564 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,360 Speaker 12: arch Manning himself. So arch Manning has the second game, 565 00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 12: and it's just I think what I hate is the 566 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 12: amount of people who have, like who were believing in 567 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,880 Speaker 12: arch Manning, like someone like Paul fine Bomb who just 568 00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:04,600 Speaker 12: declares himself completely off arch Manning after two games, like 569 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 12: there's just no there's no conviction in this anymore. I 570 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,120 Speaker 12: just ask that people be honest about it. I don't 571 00:30:10,120 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 12: want you putting up your finger seeing which way the 572 00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,600 Speaker 12: wind is blowing and then immediately jumping off. And again, 573 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,960 Speaker 12: I haven't really believed in arch Manning from the start, 574 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 12: but if you believe in arch Manning, you should probably 575 00:30:18,920 --> 00:30:21,240 Speaker 12: give him more than two games instead of just doing 576 00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:25,640 Speaker 12: this flip flop, whimsy washy thing. It's enraging because it's 577 00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,000 Speaker 12: not fair to arch Manning at that point either, like 578 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:31,440 Speaker 12: suddenly you go from being his biggest advocate to just like, nope, 579 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,160 Speaker 12: I'm done. He's not gonna be good for the rest 580 00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:35,000 Speaker 12: of the season. I don't get him. 581 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 1: Well, here's the bigger part prefet that I I actually 582 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:43,640 Speaker 1: would agree with you on, which is it's not just 583 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 1: that they're jumping ship. It's that they didn't know what 584 00:30:45,240 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: they were talking about to begin with. 585 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,960 Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, like again, we had very little to work 586 00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,960 Speaker 12: with with Arch Manning. You anointed him so quickly, which 587 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,200 Speaker 12: was always my concern, but now very almost as quickly, 588 00:30:55,440 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 12: you're just ripping the crown away and running for the hills. 589 00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's but even even deeper than that, you're Paul 590 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 1: fine Bomb right, And I I had a buddy actually 591 00:31:06,200 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: this weekend, older gentleman who is like, hey, does fine 592 00:31:09,880 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: Bomb know what he's talking about? And I was like, well, 593 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: generally I don't think the answer is yes. But he's 594 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: been working in the SEC long enough that if he calls, 595 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 1: they'll pick up the phone. 596 00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:22,480 Speaker 2: So the fact is that he obviously. 597 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,320 Speaker 1: Didn't call, didn't ask anybody, so he had no idea 598 00:31:25,360 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 1: that you know, where Arch was in his development or 599 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,120 Speaker 1: that he might struggle. So so if anything, he should 600 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:32,760 Speaker 1: be self critical and go, hey, that's on me. 601 00:31:33,600 --> 00:31:34,560 Speaker 2: I didn't do any research. 602 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 11: I'll buy everyone's stock if they want to sell, because 603 00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:43,400 Speaker 11: I am. I'm still and I think it's still absolutely one. 604 00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,760 Speaker 11: I think Chris's line, I know I didn't mean this, 605 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,280 Speaker 11: but I do want to address the people, say if 606 00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 11: if his name was Arch Johnson. No, that's one of 607 00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 11: the reasons why it's not. It's not a it's not 608 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 11: an advantage. It's in an NFL world of wanting to 609 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,200 Speaker 11: know as much as you possibly can about some one 610 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 11: and a player to know that there. He comes from 611 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:07,080 Speaker 11: a football family that has developed one and possibly two 612 00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:10,920 Speaker 11: Hall of Fame quarterbacks within that family tree, and his 613 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,280 Speaker 11: grandfather was a quarterback in the NFL as well. Sorry, 614 00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:15,960 Speaker 11: I think that helps you. I just say I think 615 00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:21,960 Speaker 11: that it does, and there's added pressure that comes with that, 616 00:32:23,240 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 11: But I think that's I think that's a big part of. 617 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:26,959 Speaker 10: Who he is. 618 00:32:27,080 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 11: I feel like the last name isn't Manning is kind 619 00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 11: of a weird shot that sometimes people. 620 00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 10: Take at him. 621 00:32:35,520 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 2: Dan, you gotta hate go for it. 622 00:32:37,640 --> 00:32:40,280 Speaker 10: Did you guys see Ken Rosenthal over the weekend? Yeah? 623 00:32:40,360 --> 00:32:41,640 Speaker 2: What was that about? 624 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 11: Mean mugging Ken Rosenthal? This is tough his Fox Sports. 625 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 11: But the video of him after the dousing after the 626 00:32:50,800 --> 00:32:54,680 Speaker 11: Brewers win a comeback win on Saturday night where he 627 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:58,080 Speaker 11: knocked over a photog trying to get a picture and 628 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:01,440 Speaker 11: then standing over him not a good look. Not a 629 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,160 Speaker 11: good look at all. And then I heard Ken's apology 630 00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 11: today and it just didn't resonate with me, did not. 631 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,640 Speaker 11: Hint Holm felt that it was a bit contrived and 632 00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,960 Speaker 11: that he downplayed it. I yeah, I'm not a fan 633 00:33:14,040 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 11: of that at all. Didn't like that. 634 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,280 Speaker 13: I saw the apology as well. I just don't think 635 00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:25,880 Speaker 13: that Ken quite understands how viciously he looked at the guy, 636 00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,360 Speaker 13: and like all of us are thinking, Okay, that's the 637 00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:33,600 Speaker 13: Ken Rosenthal, like in those moments, that's him. 638 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:34,880 Speaker 10: He was right, He was. 639 00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: Right, especially because and here's what happens, okay, fairly unfairly right. 640 00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:42,400 Speaker 1: Like his job as side of the reporter is that's 641 00:33:42,400 --> 00:33:46,080 Speaker 1: always kind of something light and something fun and hey, 642 00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:48,000 Speaker 1: like I'm part of the cool guy thing or whatever. 643 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 1: And then when you see that moment, it is doubly 644 00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:54,320 Speaker 1: bad because now you can't every sort of light interaction 645 00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,320 Speaker 1: that he has an interview appears to be completely phony. 646 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,720 Speaker 13: Exactly, he's literally looking down on the guy, and he's 647 00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 13: figuratively looking down his nose at the guy. I did 648 00:34:06,360 --> 00:34:10,439 Speaker 13: like Aj Prazinski's summary of the event says, it looked 649 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,360 Speaker 13: like I'll lee looking down at listen. That was exactly 650 00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 13: the way it looked. 651 00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:16,399 Speaker 2: That is love and hey. 652 00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,239 Speaker 8: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 653 00:34:19,280 --> 00:34:22,360 Speaker 8: the nation.

Joe Burrow is reportedly 661 00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:51,000 Speaker 1: out at least three months with a turf toe injury. 662 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 1: Here's Zach Taylor, head coach of CINCINNTI Bengals, talked about 663 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 1: the win yesterday and how much the fans of the 664 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:58,360 Speaker 1: Bengals helped it. 665 00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 2: Oh. 666 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,640 Speaker 5: I looked up as we had the final turnover, they 667 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:04,560 Speaker 5: returned to ten and our crowd started this. This crowd 668 00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:06,680 Speaker 5: was outstanding today. They gave us a huge advantage. I 669 00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:08,160 Speaker 5: did see people leaving thinking it was over. 670 00:35:08,200 --> 00:35:08,279 Speaker 1: It. 671 00:35:08,320 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 3: Don't blame them. 672 00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:10,760 Speaker 5: We just threw a pick on the ten yard line 673 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,320 Speaker 5: and all our defensive was rise up, get four stops 674 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:15,200 Speaker 5: and we go ninety something yards to win the game 675 00:35:15,440 --> 00:35:17,279 Speaker 5: and trust me, I don't I don't blame anybody. The 676 00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:20,839 Speaker 5: overall performance today wasn't what our standard is and what 677 00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,600 Speaker 5: we want. And I mean and I asked our fans 678 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:27,000 Speaker 5: to start off this game hot, and they started off hot. 679 00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,360 Speaker 5: I mean, that was the standard you set in a 680 00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,359 Speaker 5: home opener from a fan base in terms of being 681 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:35,280 Speaker 5: in their seats when I ask, I appreciated that, making 682 00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:37,399 Speaker 5: life really difficult, difficult. They had to burn an early 683 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 5: time out just like we had last week because of 684 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 5: the crowd noise, and you could hear them throughout, and 685 00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:45,040 Speaker 5: we just got to do a better job not having 686 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:46,440 Speaker 5: to come back in the last two minutes of the game, 687 00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:49,520 Speaker 5: putting ourselves in a better position. But again, proud and 688 00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:52,000 Speaker 5: everybody will learn from this and know that the Bengals 689 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 5: are never out of it and we're going to We're 690 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 5: gonna continue to find a way to win. 691 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:57,440 Speaker 1: Okay, So Jake Brown would be the quarterback for the 692 00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:00,280 Speaker 1: time being. You know, three months is twelve weeks whatever. 693 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: That's a lot of football games. They go to Minnesota, 694 00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 1: to Denver home versus the Lions, then to Green Bay. Yikes, 695 00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,000 Speaker 1: that is a tough tough schedule. The back end of 696 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,920 Speaker 1: their schedule. You know, last three games are Dolphins, Cardinals, Browns. 697 00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:18,200 Speaker 1: So if he's back and they need a couple of wins, 698 00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:21,080 Speaker 1: it's not crazy. You think he could get that done, 699 00:36:21,120 --> 00:36:25,440 Speaker 1: but unlikely. Speaking of the Vikings game, right, Tom Tellsco 700 00:36:25,480 --> 00:36:26,960 Speaker 1: is going to join us, I'm gonna ask him about 701 00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,600 Speaker 1: turf toe. He's dealt with it all twelve years as 702 00:36:29,600 --> 00:36:32,600 Speaker 1: a general manager. But as much as Jake Browning is 703 00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 1: the starting quarterback for the Bengals, causing. 704 00:36:34,640 --> 00:36:36,719 Speaker 2: A lot of people to go like, whooh yeh. 705 00:36:37,880 --> 00:36:41,319 Speaker 1: It's the Doug Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio, and 706 00:36:41,560 --> 00:36:45,280 Speaker 1: I consider our show really lucky to have Tom Telesco 707 00:36:45,480 --> 00:36:48,800 Speaker 1: as a weekly guest, not even thinking about the fact 708 00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,040 Speaker 1: that Week two is the Telasco Bowl on Monday Night football. 709 00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:53,319 Speaker 11: Right. 710 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 1: Two teams that he built, the Raiders where he walked 711 00:36:57,200 --> 00:36:59,440 Speaker 1: into a project which was kind of half completed, then 712 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,080 Speaker 1: he walked out when it was sort of half completed, right, 713 00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:07,720 Speaker 1: and the Chargers that he built several times over into 714 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: a winner. He's Tom Telesco, he's the former general manager 715 00:37:10,120 --> 00:37:12,319 Speaker 1: of the Chargers and the Raiders, and he's our guest 716 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:15,040 Speaker 1: here weekly on the Doug Gottlieb show on Fox Sports Radio. 717 00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:18,480 Speaker 1: Have you thought about what tonight's gonna be like with 718 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: that game on TV? 719 00:37:20,440 --> 00:37:22,279 Speaker 9: Yeah, I'll tell you what. I will say that the 720 00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,799 Speaker 9: Raiders are definitely We're not half completed by me. I 721 00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:27,480 Speaker 9: was only there for a year. But the Chargers, you know, 722 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:31,799 Speaker 9: eleven years as a GM, so I just know so 723 00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:34,200 Speaker 9: many people there. Still know a good amount of the players, 724 00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,919 Speaker 9: even though they've they've made some pretty good additions since then. 725 00:37:36,960 --> 00:37:39,719 Speaker 9: But it's gonna be really interesting because I just know 726 00:37:39,840 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 9: both teams really really well and washing and play against themselves. 727 00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 9: So yeah, it's gonna be a little bit strange. I 728 00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:49,040 Speaker 9: will say I was just looking at the game, like 729 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,680 Speaker 9: the Chargers defense is like this kind of goes under 730 00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:55,240 Speaker 9: the radar, I think a little bit because of Justin Herbert. 731 00:37:55,280 --> 00:37:57,160 Speaker 9: But they're doing a great job on that side of 732 00:37:57,239 --> 00:37:58,920 Speaker 9: the ball. They're just out in the middle and they 733 00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:04,000 Speaker 9: got Derwin James and Dan Henley kind of rangey both 734 00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,640 Speaker 9: both run and past. So it's gonna be a really 735 00:38:05,640 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 9: interesting games tonight. 736 00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:12,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, it will be very very interesting. We'll circle back 737 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:14,800 Speaker 1: to the game in a second. Have you ever had 738 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:17,400 Speaker 1: one of your top players? I mean, you had so 739 00:38:17,480 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 1: many things you've been through as GM, and then you 740 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:23,200 Speaker 1: go back to your time in India and have you 741 00:38:23,200 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: ever had a guy, have a high level player have 742 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:28,520 Speaker 1: turf tows. 743 00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:31,160 Speaker 9: It's not coming to mind. And believe me, at a 744 00:38:31,280 --> 00:38:33,560 Speaker 9: GM like you, you spend a lot of time with 745 00:38:33,600 --> 00:38:36,600 Speaker 9: your team doctors during the season. Price spend more time 746 00:38:36,640 --> 00:38:39,600 Speaker 9: with them by far than even the college scouts. It's 747 00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,000 Speaker 9: a common injury. It wasn't really common for quarterbacks. It's 748 00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 9: more common for field position players, receivers, dbs and sometimes 749 00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:51,440 Speaker 9: a combo player, a linebacker, running back. But I don't remember, 750 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,480 Speaker 9: and I'm sure we have. But what I do know 751 00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,560 Speaker 9: because I know we had some grade one and grade two. 752 00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 9: The grade three is pretty significant. So you're looking at 753 00:39:00,080 --> 00:39:03,759 Speaker 9: surgery and I know they're saying twelve weeks, but I 754 00:39:03,800 --> 00:39:07,239 Speaker 9: mean that's that's if everything goes perfect, which I don't. 755 00:39:07,239 --> 00:39:09,040 Speaker 9: I just don't. To me, they have to get ready 756 00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 9: for Jake Brian to finish the season as the quarterback. 757 00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:13,560 Speaker 9: I don't know if it's realistic, but this type of 758 00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,200 Speaker 9: injury and the surgery and then how you have to 759 00:39:15,239 --> 00:39:17,719 Speaker 9: play with it. He'll be fine, Joe Burrow, He'll be 760 00:39:17,719 --> 00:39:19,640 Speaker 9: fine in the end, he'll be one hundred percent next year, 761 00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,239 Speaker 9: but for this year, it's an extremely difficult just to 762 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,560 Speaker 9: be able to plant and throw with that injury. But 763 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,160 Speaker 9: I can't remember very many great threes, but I do remember, 764 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:30,920 Speaker 9: you know, we've had great ones of great twos, and 765 00:39:31,280 --> 00:39:33,000 Speaker 9: the question was always if you do get to a 766 00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:36,160 Speaker 9: greade three, then that's significant, and the grade one great 767 00:39:36,200 --> 00:39:37,680 Speaker 9: two you can kind of manage a little bit. I 768 00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:40,719 Speaker 9: think Philip Rivers had some sort of turf toe at 769 00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:42,759 Speaker 9: some point of my career there, but it was something 770 00:39:42,800 --> 00:39:45,840 Speaker 9: he could always kind of manage through, whether it's you 771 00:39:45,880 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 9: can put it like a steel shank in your shoe 772 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:51,759 Speaker 9: just to kind of limit the mobility of the toe, 773 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 9: sometimes getting an injection and kind of play through it. 774 00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:58,600 Speaker 1: If you're the Bengals and this is a position you 775 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:02,680 Speaker 1: have been in, rightquarterback goes down, you got Jake Browning, 776 00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:04,400 Speaker 1: And for those of us are old enough to remember, 777 00:40:04,400 --> 00:40:07,440 Speaker 1: like Jake Browning was like maybe the top two or 778 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:10,239 Speaker 1: three prospects in the country before he went to college, right, 779 00:40:10,760 --> 00:40:13,720 Speaker 1: and so I mean he's a backup. 780 00:40:14,080 --> 00:40:15,000 Speaker 2: What do you add? 781 00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 1: And and again let me I I don't need to 782 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,200 Speaker 1: add my thoughts because you've been in this position. Okay, 783 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,080 Speaker 1: quarterback goes down, starting quarterback goes down, you got a backup. 784 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:27,680 Speaker 1: Now you got to add one. Take me through, like today, 785 00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,320 Speaker 1: you walk into the office and what's the discussion, Like, well. 786 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 9: I mean, for the first discussion, is that Jake brown 787 00:40:34,640 --> 00:40:36,080 Speaker 9: the one that we're gonna go with for the rest 788 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:38,280 Speaker 9: of the year, And in this particular situation, they answered 789 00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:41,400 Speaker 9: absolutely yes. You know, he's not a big name, but 790 00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:43,799 Speaker 9: he's a he's a big name in NFL circles. I mean, 791 00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,920 Speaker 9: he's played well in Joe's absence. He's got great pocket poise, 792 00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:50,719 Speaker 9: and he's really really accurate. And the fact that he's 793 00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:53,440 Speaker 9: already played a good amount of snaps for the Bengals 794 00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,800 Speaker 9: and for Zach Taylor leads you that, hey, this is 795 00:40:56,840 --> 00:40:58,800 Speaker 9: the guy that we're going to go with moving forward. 796 00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:01,919 Speaker 9: In they'de a lot of investments at receiver and tight 797 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,799 Speaker 9: end and those guys are gonna have to step up 798 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 9: and raise their level of play. Two for the quarterback position. 799 00:41:06,920 --> 00:41:10,000 Speaker 9: So in the second part for the front office, okay, 800 00:41:10,040 --> 00:41:13,160 Speaker 9: well we need another backup, because God forbid something happens 801 00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 9: to Jake Browning, we have to have somewhere to go 802 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:20,560 Speaker 9: and probably you know, the Bengals are a good team. 803 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:23,400 Speaker 9: Preferably you'd like to have a veteran that could be 804 00:41:23,440 --> 00:41:25,880 Speaker 9: the backup. Right now is just you know, there's just 805 00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:29,839 Speaker 9: not The pool right now is obviously very small because 806 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:30,800 Speaker 9: you don't what you don't want to have to do 807 00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,040 Speaker 9: is shake Briant gets hurt in your season completely over. 808 00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,240 Speaker 9: But unfortunately for money, once you get to your third quarterback, 809 00:41:36,280 --> 00:41:39,200 Speaker 9: it's going to be extremely difficult. So right now it's 810 00:41:39,200 --> 00:41:42,680 Speaker 9: about trying and find the right third quarterback. And usually 811 00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:44,640 Speaker 9: at this time of the year, you prefer that quarterback 812 00:41:44,680 --> 00:41:48,319 Speaker 9: has some familiarity either with your coordinator slash head coach 813 00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:51,040 Speaker 9: or has some familiarity with the type of offense that 814 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:53,160 Speaker 9: you run, because you may have to player the later. 815 00:41:53,239 --> 00:41:55,800 Speaker 9: You just never know. So that's the discussion today, is Okay, 816 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:58,600 Speaker 9: who's now the backup? Is he currently on our practice 817 00:41:58,600 --> 00:42:00,720 Speaker 9: squad or is he someone that we to go outside 818 00:42:00,719 --> 00:42:01,560 Speaker 9: the team to go get. 819 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:06,360 Speaker 1: Okay, well help me out here. Okay, So Dan Pitcher 820 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: is the offensive four dator for the Bengals, you know, 821 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:17,040 Speaker 1: and so what is what's his kind of family tree? 822 00:42:17,160 --> 00:42:19,880 Speaker 1: Like who what offense is that? Like where you can 823 00:42:19,920 --> 00:42:21,560 Speaker 1: find somebody with familiarity towards it. 824 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,360 Speaker 9: Well, Dan's been there a long time. Actually, Dan Pitcher 825 00:42:25,360 --> 00:42:27,080 Speaker 9: worked in our scouting department and when I was with 826 00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:30,200 Speaker 9: the Coole and then he transitioned into coaching after that 827 00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,840 Speaker 9: and he vote the Bengals for a long time. So 828 00:42:32,840 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 9: he's been there with Zach Taylor. He's been there with 829 00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,120 Speaker 9: Brian Callahan who was there. So if there's someone from 830 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:40,560 Speaker 9: the Callahan tree that's available, you know, maybe that's somebody 831 00:42:40,560 --> 00:42:43,400 Speaker 9: they take a look at. But Dan's a really sharp 832 00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,719 Speaker 9: coach and he's gonna have to get whatever the quarterback is. 833 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:48,600 Speaker 9: Even with the familiarity, he's gonna have to get them 834 00:42:48,680 --> 00:42:50,440 Speaker 9: up the speed as quickly as possible. And look, it 835 00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:53,680 Speaker 9: could be something where that we just promote a quarterback 836 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:57,080 Speaker 9: from our practice squad initially and that player throws us 837 00:42:57,080 --> 00:42:59,120 Speaker 9: the backup as we go through our process to make 838 00:42:59,120 --> 00:43:01,400 Speaker 9: sure we add the right quarterback at the backup. It 839 00:43:01,400 --> 00:43:03,759 Speaker 9: doesn't have to be by tomorrow, you know, it could 840 00:43:03,800 --> 00:43:05,839 Speaker 9: be by next week or the week after to find 841 00:43:05,840 --> 00:43:08,680 Speaker 9: the right guy. Because they do have quarterbacks on them, 842 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 9: they have at least one on the practice squad. 843 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:15,000 Speaker 2: So well, I ask you, because like Kirk Cousins. Does 844 00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:15,520 Speaker 2: that work? 845 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 9: I don't think that works, just because they have the 846 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,279 Speaker 9: starter right now who they feel good about. So I 847 00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:23,080 Speaker 9: don't think you'd be looking to make a trade for 848 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:25,200 Speaker 9: Kirk Cousins to come in your backup at this point. 849 00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 1: Stut Gottlieb Show on Fox Sports Radio. That's the voice 850 00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:31,760 Speaker 1: of Tom to lescou He's he was the general manager 851 00:43:31,800 --> 00:43:34,319 Speaker 1: of the Chargers for eleven years, with the Raiders for 852 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 1: a year, and he's kind of to spend some time 853 00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:43,040 Speaker 1: this year on a weekly basis on Fox Sports Radio. Okay, 854 00:43:43,360 --> 00:43:46,800 Speaker 1: is the is the Dolphins? Are the Dolphins fixable? 855 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,360 Speaker 9: Well, this is a good news. I thought the offense 856 00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:54,200 Speaker 9: was much better from Week one to Week two, so 857 00:43:54,320 --> 00:43:56,040 Speaker 9: you've got that to hang your hat on. You you 858 00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:59,440 Speaker 9: saw improvement with two and with the offense in general. 859 00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 9: To me, the bigger issue was the Patriots don't have 860 00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 9: a premier offense yet and the Dolphins defense really struggles 861 00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:10,000 Speaker 9: for the second straight week. So that's the issue right now, 862 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,320 Speaker 9: and it's going to take everybody, you know, including you know, 863 00:44:13,400 --> 00:44:16,440 Speaker 9: leadership from the head coach and then really the assistant 864 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:19,160 Speaker 9: coaches putting a plan together, a scheme together on both 865 00:44:19,200 --> 00:44:23,000 Speaker 9: sides to try and make some improvements because it's tough. 866 00:44:23,040 --> 00:44:25,600 Speaker 9: I mean, it's tough for any team to go in 867 00:44:25,680 --> 00:44:28,000 Speaker 9: to start a year zero to two. It's such a 868 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:31,080 Speaker 9: long offseason. There's so much hope with every organization going 869 00:44:31,080 --> 00:44:32,920 Speaker 9: into the season, and we don't play well right off 870 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 9: the bat. It takes a lot of leadership, both with 871 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 9: the coaching staff and in the locker room to kind 872 00:44:38,480 --> 00:44:41,600 Speaker 9: of overcome that which they can, which they definitely can, 873 00:44:41,640 --> 00:44:43,520 Speaker 9: but it's gonna take a lot of work moving forward. 874 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:46,879 Speaker 9: But the good thing is that I saw some better 875 00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,160 Speaker 9: signs on offense, especially in the passing game, that they 876 00:44:50,160 --> 00:44:51,759 Speaker 9: got better from Week one to week two. 877 00:44:52,960 --> 00:44:56,279 Speaker 1: The Kansas City Chiefs, they lose again at home end 878 00:44:56,320 --> 00:44:57,280 Speaker 1: of the third quarter. 879 00:44:59,160 --> 00:45:01,200 Speaker 2: Travis Kelce he drops the ball. 880 00:45:01,760 --> 00:45:03,960 Speaker 1: You know, Mahomes sort of led him a little bit, 881 00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,640 Speaker 1: but I mean he hit him in the hands and 882 00:45:06,680 --> 00:45:11,239 Speaker 1: he bumbles it and he gets intercepted. Uh what was 883 00:45:11,280 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 1: that was the pass off or was that a sign 884 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:17,200 Speaker 1: of Kelsey losing a half step and that's why he 885 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:19,399 Speaker 1: was behind with that ball actually ended up? 886 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:21,960 Speaker 9: I mean, it's hard to say. I mean it was 887 00:45:22,000 --> 00:45:25,960 Speaker 9: such a fluky play. So unfortunately, those plays happened. But 888 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,319 Speaker 9: to me, the bigger thing was that the Chiefs last 889 00:45:30,320 --> 00:45:32,759 Speaker 9: couple of years, they've had an outstanding defense and then 890 00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:34,640 Speaker 9: Mahome has made a lot of plays on offense. They've 891 00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:36,359 Speaker 9: had enough on offense to win, but it's really been 892 00:45:36,400 --> 00:45:40,480 Speaker 9: a defensive team. So in Week one against the Chargers, 893 00:45:40,520 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 9: a little uncare characteristic of how they performed. But the 894 00:45:44,960 --> 00:45:47,440 Speaker 9: defense rebounded this week. I thought they looked much better, 895 00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 9: got some pressure, you know, played the run pretty well. 896 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,880 Speaker 9: So that was that was great, but the problem the 897 00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:56,880 Speaker 9: offense just didn't have any juice again, and you know, 898 00:45:57,000 --> 00:46:00,680 Speaker 9: the the running game just hasn't he had never been 899 00:46:00,680 --> 00:46:03,600 Speaker 9: a focal point of the chart of the of the Chiefs, 900 00:46:04,840 --> 00:46:06,719 Speaker 9: but they're not getting a lot there that you know, 901 00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:09,640 Speaker 9: both tackle spots struggled last year and it's kind of 902 00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,840 Speaker 9: continuing on this year. And the Eagles really challenged the tackles. 903 00:46:12,880 --> 00:46:14,319 Speaker 9: They got a lot of one on ones and they 904 00:46:14,320 --> 00:46:17,080 Speaker 9: won a lot of the one on ones. And Eagles 905 00:46:17,120 --> 00:46:19,200 Speaker 9: played a lot of man coverage and forced the receivers 906 00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,759 Speaker 9: the char of the Chiefs to win and they didn't 907 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,960 Speaker 9: win that much. So, you know, the good news for 908 00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:26,839 Speaker 9: the Chiefs is, look this offense is not a lot 909 00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:29,520 Speaker 9: different than last year's and you know they'll get They'll 910 00:46:29,560 --> 00:46:33,080 Speaker 9: get Rice back soon, Rachi right back soon. They made 911 00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 9: a Super Bowl with this type of offense. But the 912 00:46:35,480 --> 00:46:38,200 Speaker 9: margin for errors is a lot smaller right now. But 913 00:46:38,239 --> 00:46:40,680 Speaker 9: the defense had to keep coming along, keep playing the 914 00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,680 Speaker 9: way that they need to play. But offensively, they just 915 00:46:42,719 --> 00:46:44,440 Speaker 9: have a lot of holes right now that are just 916 00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:47,680 Speaker 9: really being focused on more so this year than other years. 917 00:46:48,400 --> 00:46:51,239 Speaker 1: The the Steelers have some holes as well. A team 918 00:46:51,280 --> 00:46:53,799 Speaker 1: that's put together kind of win now, and they really 919 00:46:53,800 --> 00:46:55,759 Speaker 1: struggled offensively against the Seahawks. 920 00:46:56,520 --> 00:46:57,760 Speaker 2: What issues did you see? 921 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:01,760 Speaker 9: Well, I mean some of the same things that that 922 00:47:01,960 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 9: showed up in Week one. It's just like each week 923 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,240 Speaker 9: is just you know, week to week, depending on your opponent, 924 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 9: depending on your opponent's strengths and weaknesses are different, and 925 00:47:09,520 --> 00:47:11,360 Speaker 9: it only take a little couple of little things and 926 00:47:11,400 --> 00:47:13,560 Speaker 9: you have, you know, a special teams are that gives 927 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:14,480 Speaker 9: up points. 928 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:14,960 Speaker 10: It kills you. 929 00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,040 Speaker 9: Aaron Ryders still made some throws, some very good throws. 930 00:47:20,080 --> 00:47:23,560 Speaker 9: But when when you get pressure on an older quarterback 931 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:26,160 Speaker 9: who used to be mobile, who's just not mobile anymore, 932 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,439 Speaker 9: it makes for a difficult time. And that's why past 933 00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,080 Speaker 9: protection for them is going to be key this year 934 00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:34,520 Speaker 9: because if you can give Aaron Rodgers some time, he 935 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:36,439 Speaker 9: can still throw it. He gets the ball out quick 936 00:47:36,719 --> 00:47:38,200 Speaker 9: you know, he knows where to go with the football 937 00:47:38,239 --> 00:47:42,480 Speaker 9: obviously and process quickly. But you know the rest of 938 00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,600 Speaker 9: the offense, as far as the run game, pass protection, 939 00:47:44,840 --> 00:47:46,960 Speaker 9: you know, that didn't wasn't where it needed to be 940 00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:48,319 Speaker 9: this week. It wasn't where it needed to be in 941 00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,040 Speaker 9: Week one either, And then the thing that thought they'd 942 00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:54,240 Speaker 9: be able to rely on is the defense. The defense 943 00:47:54,320 --> 00:47:56,680 Speaker 9: is really strong and that's still coming along. So this 944 00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:58,279 Speaker 9: is one of those things. I think the defense will 945 00:47:58,360 --> 00:47:59,719 Speaker 9: kind of come back to where it needs to be 946 00:48:00,719 --> 00:48:02,600 Speaker 9: as you get the week three and four. I think 947 00:48:02,600 --> 00:48:05,480 Speaker 9: they're much better than how they're playing. Picemith getting hurt 948 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:07,959 Speaker 9: is not gonna help, but luckily it's not season ending. 949 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:10,960 Speaker 9: But this is one where the defense really needs to 950 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:11,759 Speaker 9: step up as well. 951 00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,120 Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy struggled. Now obviously, first game, struggled in the 952 00:48:16,160 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: first half. Some of the second half. They put it together. 953 00:48:18,719 --> 00:48:22,120 Speaker 1: They win a game this week. It's just it wasn't. 954 00:48:21,920 --> 00:48:22,840 Speaker 2: Great, right. 955 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:27,960 Speaker 1: What did the what the Falcons do to confuse the 956 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:30,760 Speaker 1: rookie or second year player, but first year starting. 957 00:48:31,440 --> 00:48:35,360 Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't know if there's so much confusion. I 958 00:48:35,640 --> 00:48:37,680 Speaker 9: actually saw. I know he didn't play great. I know 959 00:48:37,719 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 9: the numbers weren't weren't good, but I did see some 960 00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:42,920 Speaker 9: positives from McCarthy because he does show and it's not 961 00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:45,560 Speaker 9: consistent yet, but he does show the ability to be 962 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,960 Speaker 9: in the pocket, progress through his reads and anticipate and 963 00:48:49,000 --> 00:48:52,680 Speaker 9: make make throws. Now, one of the bigger issues right 964 00:48:52,719 --> 00:48:55,759 Speaker 9: now for Minnesota is Christian Darrisa is not playing left 965 00:48:55,760 --> 00:48:59,040 Speaker 9: tackle because he's hurt. So they had justin school in 966 00:48:59,080 --> 00:49:01,000 Speaker 9: the game and he got hurt to their third tackle 967 00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:04,160 Speaker 9: was in the game. The starting center Ryan Kelly went 968 00:49:04,200 --> 00:49:06,319 Speaker 9: out with an injury, so he had a lot of 969 00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:10,560 Speaker 9: pressure early. The Falcons did a great job on the 970 00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:14,200 Speaker 9: edges getting pressure, which is something that we've been saying 971 00:49:14,239 --> 00:49:17,439 Speaker 9: for years, like will they ever add you know, pass 972 00:49:17,520 --> 00:49:19,680 Speaker 9: rush help, will they ever add edge help. It was 973 00:49:19,719 --> 00:49:21,640 Speaker 9: funny every year in the draft, I thought there was 974 00:49:21,680 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 9: a number one need and they always win in a 975 00:49:23,080 --> 00:49:26,680 Speaker 9: different direction, including when they draft the Pennix. But this 976 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,480 Speaker 9: year they went out and you know, first two picks 977 00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:31,279 Speaker 9: or pass rushers and those two guys are playing well, 978 00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:35,120 Speaker 9: so they got a lot of pressure on McCarthy. But 979 00:49:35,200 --> 00:49:38,359 Speaker 9: I still saw some positives in McCarthy's play. But it's 980 00:49:38,440 --> 00:49:39,920 Speaker 9: just going to be a process with them. I mean, 981 00:49:40,040 --> 00:49:43,279 Speaker 9: especially a rookie quarterback. He's seeing everything for the first time. 982 00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:45,839 Speaker 9: The defensive line is not quite as strong now as 983 00:49:45,840 --> 00:49:47,759 Speaker 9: it was last years Sam Darnold, and that's really due 984 00:49:47,760 --> 00:49:49,799 Speaker 9: to injury. It will get back to where it was, 985 00:49:49,840 --> 00:49:53,080 Speaker 9: so that's going to help them. But yeah, that was 986 00:49:53,120 --> 00:49:55,080 Speaker 9: that was a tough watch last night, and that's kind 987 00:49:55,080 --> 00:49:56,800 Speaker 9: of the you know, the life of the rookie quarterback. 988 00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:59,960 Speaker 1: What do NFL people think about the Colts new owner 989 00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 1: on the sideline listening to the play calls taking notes. 990 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:09,000 Speaker 9: Well, I think from the Colts standpoint, they're just used 991 00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:10,600 Speaker 9: to it because she's been doing that for a number 992 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,799 Speaker 9: of years, all the way back to when Frank Rich 993 00:50:12,920 --> 00:50:14,799 Speaker 9: was there. So for them, it's it's just it's part 994 00:50:14,800 --> 00:50:18,920 Speaker 9: of their process. So I think if you're a player 995 00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 9: head coach, you know, if you're secure enough in what 996 00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:24,480 Speaker 9: you do, I wouldn't even be concerned about it, wouldn't 997 00:50:24,480 --> 00:50:27,239 Speaker 9: be worried about it. So is it different and unique? Yeah? 998 00:50:27,320 --> 00:50:27,640 Speaker 12: It is. 999 00:50:28,800 --> 00:50:30,400 Speaker 9: But that's one of the great things about the Colts. 1000 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:32,960 Speaker 9: They do some things outside the box. And that's your 1001 00:50:33,040 --> 00:50:36,000 Speaker 9: versary legacy right there, of just trying to think outside 1002 00:50:36,040 --> 00:50:38,520 Speaker 9: the box and do some different things. So but like 1003 00:50:38,560 --> 00:50:42,319 Speaker 9: I said, she's been doing that for so long, it's uh, 1004 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:43,760 Speaker 9: you know, for them, it's just second mature. 1005 00:50:44,719 --> 00:50:47,360 Speaker 1: What what tack happened to? Justin fields? I mean again, 1006 00:50:47,400 --> 00:50:49,880 Speaker 1: you talked about Pittsburgh's defense. He looked great last week. 1007 00:50:50,880 --> 00:50:53,880 Speaker 1: I mean, really, really, what was it? What the Bills do? 1008 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,279 Speaker 9: I don't it's I don't use anything Buffalo did. I 1009 00:50:58,320 --> 00:51:00,720 Speaker 9: just think it's you know what the type a player 1010 00:51:00,760 --> 00:51:02,680 Speaker 9: that susin fields is. I mean, I know he made 1011 00:51:02,719 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 9: some throws in Week one, but if you look at 1012 00:51:04,440 --> 00:51:06,440 Speaker 9: the whole body of work over the course of his career, 1013 00:51:07,239 --> 00:51:09,040 Speaker 9: you know, he's never really been a sit in the 1014 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,320 Speaker 9: pocket it's third and twelve and be able to convert 1015 00:51:12,320 --> 00:51:14,400 Speaker 9: those at a high percentage. You know, he's more of 1016 00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,319 Speaker 9: a you know throw Some of our pos use his 1017 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,759 Speaker 9: feat us his feat the scramble. He used to seat 1018 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,759 Speaker 9: the scramble to throw, not always the run. But then 1019 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,960 Speaker 9: if he runs, he's a dynamic runner. But you know, 1020 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,840 Speaker 9: what's kind of cut up with him with in Chicago 1021 00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:32,160 Speaker 9: and Pittsburgh is just, you know, is that traditional staying 1022 00:51:32,200 --> 00:51:34,719 Speaker 9: in the pocket on third down and reading it out 1023 00:51:34,719 --> 00:51:37,840 Speaker 9: and making an accurate throw. So it's just kind of 1024 00:51:38,120 --> 00:51:40,480 Speaker 9: his body of work of what it's been. So he 1025 00:51:40,560 --> 00:51:42,600 Speaker 9: has to use his feet. They have to have an 1026 00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:44,480 Speaker 9: offense they can really do that to get him outside 1027 00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:47,840 Speaker 9: the pocket where it's runner throw. He's such a dynamic athlete, 1028 00:51:47,840 --> 00:51:50,840 Speaker 9: he's got a strong arm, he's a tremendous leader. He 1029 00:51:50,960 --> 00:51:52,440 Speaker 9: just got to play into the strengths and trying to 1030 00:51:52,480 --> 00:51:55,400 Speaker 9: minimize the weaknesses. And you know this week Buffalo really 1031 00:51:55,840 --> 00:51:58,759 Speaker 9: you know, went after his weaknesses and did a great job. 1032 00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:01,399 Speaker 2: Leap shure here on Fox Sports Radio. 1033 00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:06,319 Speaker 1: Okay, now comes the hard part Raiders Chargers in Vegas. 1034 00:52:06,560 --> 00:52:07,320 Speaker 2: Who wins? 1035 00:52:08,800 --> 00:52:13,400 Speaker 9: Well, Doug, I don't do predictions, all right, but the 1036 00:52:13,440 --> 00:52:15,719 Speaker 9: big thing right now, does Brock Bauers player or not? 1037 00:52:16,080 --> 00:52:18,440 Speaker 9: And my guess is if he plays, I don't I 1038 00:52:18,440 --> 00:52:19,799 Speaker 9: don't know if he's going to be one hundred percent. 1039 00:52:19,880 --> 00:52:21,680 Speaker 9: He's such a big part of that offense. You know, 1040 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 9: he's one of their dynamic players. So I'm curious to 1041 00:52:24,040 --> 00:52:26,759 Speaker 9: see what Chip Kelly does if rock Byers isn't one 1042 00:52:26,800 --> 00:52:29,719 Speaker 9: hundred percent or doesn't play like, how are they going 1043 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:33,080 Speaker 9: to how they're going to manage this? So the Raiders 1044 00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:34,600 Speaker 9: that the question going in the year. With the Raiders 1045 00:52:34,640 --> 00:52:38,120 Speaker 9: on defense with their secondary and against the Patriots, you 1046 00:52:38,120 --> 00:52:40,960 Speaker 9: wouldn't have known the difference because their secondary play extremely well. 1047 00:52:41,480 --> 00:52:43,840 Speaker 9: But this offense has a lot better receivers than the 1048 00:52:43,880 --> 00:52:47,320 Speaker 9: Patriots do currently between the Conki and Keenan Allen, I 1049 00:52:47,320 --> 00:52:48,799 Speaker 9: think it's gonna be a great test for the Raiders 1050 00:52:48,880 --> 00:52:51,600 Speaker 9: DBS to see how they can hold up. They held 1051 00:52:51,680 --> 00:52:53,759 Speaker 9: up just fine against the Patriots. We'll see this week. 1052 00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:56,560 Speaker 9: So but this is going to be fascinating just to 1053 00:52:56,600 --> 00:53:00,440 Speaker 9: watch Justin Herbert and and and Gino Smith go at it. 1054 00:53:00,480 --> 00:53:03,840 Speaker 9: But yeah, I've got this is just for me. I 1055 00:53:03,880 --> 00:53:06,120 Speaker 9: got twelve years between these two teams, but eleven with 1056 00:53:06,160 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 9: one team and one with the other. But I can't 1057 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:09,120 Speaker 9: do prediction. 1058 00:53:08,880 --> 00:53:12,480 Speaker 1: On this one, Tommy, great stuff, man. We're glad you 1059 00:53:12,520 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 1: don't do predictions. We don't like them either. We know 1060 00:53:14,560 --> 00:53:15,200 Speaker 1: you got to run. 1061 00:53:15,440 --> 00:53:16,560 Speaker 2: Appreciate you being our guest. 1062 00:53:16,760 --> 00:53:20,200 Speaker 1: Enjoy watching, enjoy watching two houses, one that you built 1063 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:22,360 Speaker 1: and then built and then built another one that you 1064 00:53:22,400 --> 00:53:23,400 Speaker 1: had a piece of the building. 1065 00:53:23,680 --> 00:53:24,680 Speaker 2: Thanks for being our guests. 1066 00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:25,680 Speaker 9: You got it. 1067 00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:26,160 Speaker 2: Thanks Doug
