So Steve Nash mutually parted ways with 9 00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:48,960 Speaker 1: the Brooklyn Nets. I think Steve Nash wanted out because 10 00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,920 Speaker 1: I don't know Steve Nash well, but I know him 11 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:55,880 Speaker 1: and I know a couple of people who know him well. 12 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: And Steve Nash had said in the offseason that you 13 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 1: know he was. He was at wits end. He missed 14 00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 1: Manhattan beats, the lifestyle, the volleyball, the casual nature of it, 15 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:12,920 Speaker 1: the quality of life that you know. The NBA is 16 00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 1: a hard league to coach in. Our basketball cultures in 17 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: America and our football cultures in America are very different. 18 00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,240 Speaker 1: And the football culture is the coach has ultimate power. 19 00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:27,039 Speaker 1: You can be cut in professional football. Even Tom Brady 20 00:01:27,040 --> 00:01:31,200 Speaker 1: could be cut. You don't get the guaranteed long contracts, 21 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,120 Speaker 1: players have shorter careers due to a regular level of violence. 22 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:40,720 Speaker 1: Players have to go to college for three or four 23 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: years where they are just part of a collective. The 24 00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: biggest stars in college football, you know, it's often the 25 00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 1: coach Nick Saban's bigger than any Alabama player. And so 26 00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,520 Speaker 1: players walk into the NFL, even the stars, they're humble, 27 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: they're hungry. The football culture, the football media is tougher 28 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: on players, so they've got thick skins. Most of them 29 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: developed through high school and college football. And the reality 30 00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,000 Speaker 1: of NFL football where your careers are short. You're being 31 00:02:11,040 --> 00:02:16,480 Speaker 1: tackled the physical nature of it, and coaches have control. 32 00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:22,160 Speaker 1: NBA basketball as a whole, that culture is different. Spot 33 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:26,400 Speaker 1: talent at twelve and thirteen years old and then coddle it, 34 00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:28,960 Speaker 1: tell it how smart it is, how great it is. 35 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: I mean, the NBA, you couldn't have even voted for 36 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,160 Speaker 1: Donald Trump, and I'm no Trump fan. If that got out, 37 00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:38,919 Speaker 1: you'd be ostracized in the league. You know, there's one 38 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:43,839 Speaker 1: way to vote, one way to think, and players tend 39 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: to be you know, one year of college shoe deals, 40 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 1: big money early can't be cut, and they have more power. 41 00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: I have no problem with basketball players in America having 42 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,760 Speaker 1: more power because the rosters are smaller and individual players 43 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,600 Speaker 1: can have more of an impact on the outcome. So 44 00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,440 Speaker 1: it doesn't bother me. But when Adam Silver said, you know, 45 00:03:04,480 --> 00:03:08,720 Speaker 1: my players are miserable, that's because pro basketball is the 46 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:12,639 Speaker 1: first time anybody's told him no or has ridiculed them 47 00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,240 Speaker 1: or criticized them. You don't hear football players complaining about 48 00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,640 Speaker 1: the internet. You don't hear Roger Goodell saying my players 49 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: are miserable. If you're miserable making thirty million dollars a 50 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:26,480 Speaker 1: year for shooting a basketball and making twenty million selling shoes, 51 00:03:27,400 --> 00:03:31,799 Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's not criticism on Twitter or social media. 52 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:37,160 Speaker 1: Maybe it's you. And you know, Kyrie Irving is part 53 00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:41,680 Speaker 1: of the basketball culture that you don't see it with 54 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:45,400 Speaker 1: a lot of players. But Kyrie Irving has been told 55 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 1: how grady is that he has no interest in being 56 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:53,000 Speaker 1: part of a culture. Being coached, he mocks. He rolls 57 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,280 Speaker 1: his eyes at being coached. Remember what he said before 58 00:03:55,280 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: he got to Brooklyn or when he got to Brooklyn, 59 00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 1: we don't really need a coach here. He thinks that 60 00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 1: he believes that like Steve Kerr Popovich Eric Spolstra, tylu 61 00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:06,000 Speaker 1: have no value. Can you imagine not only thinking that, 62 00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 1: but saying it out loud that every football player knows 63 00:04:10,760 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 1: coaches matter. So basketball players have this ultimate power very 64 00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,800 Speaker 1: early in pro basketball. And if you were told yes 65 00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: your entire life, if you got everything you wanted all 66 00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:25,040 Speaker 1: the time, you'd think you were pretty special. I mean, 67 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: Kawhi Leonard, I don't feel like playing Ben Simmons, I 68 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 1: don't feel like shooting Kyrie. I don't feel like being coached. 69 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: It feels like you get a lot of that in 70 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:34,760 Speaker 1: professional basketball. I don't feel like I get a lot 71 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 1: of that in pro football. I mean, you occasionally get 72 00:04:36,760 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 1: a player that goes off the rails, like Antonio Brown, 73 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 1: but it's very, very rare. And most of your star 74 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:45,400 Speaker 1: players are coachable, you know, like just feel like you 75 00:04:45,440 --> 00:04:49,320 Speaker 1: can coach them hard. They play hard, they show up, 76 00:04:50,240 --> 00:04:53,880 Speaker 1: they can take criticism, even if it's social media. The 77 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:57,400 Speaker 1: basketball culture in America, I mean, I love basketball, but 78 00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:01,360 Speaker 1: Kyrie has come to the point where he doesn't elevate teammates, 79 00:05:01,360 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 1: he doesn't want to be coached. I mean, if you're 80 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: ever quoting or agreeing with Alex Jones ever once like 81 00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: the line between winner and loser in America isn't how 82 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: much money you make. It isn't your educational background. If 83 00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:19,159 Speaker 1: you've ever agreed with Alex Jones on anything, you're a loser. 84 00:05:19,680 --> 00:05:22,760 Speaker 1: There's no debate on that. He is the biggest l 85 00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 1: on the Internet. And if you've ever once agreed with 86 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,480 Speaker 1: him or quoted him, you're in the l side. There's 87 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,520 Speaker 1: the winner side and the loser side, the have side 88 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,839 Speaker 1: and the have not side. Ever quote or agree with 89 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 1: Alex Jones. That's the line. And I think Steve Nash 90 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:42,160 Speaker 1: listen to some of these Kyrie Irving comments and anti 91 00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:47,960 Speaker 1: Semitic nonsense and agreeing with Alex Jones, and I just 92 00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: think Steve Nash was disgusted, and I think Steve Nash 93 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: had enough. You know, it's interesting. The Bears made a move, 94 00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:00,920 Speaker 1: the Dolphins made a move, the Rays made a move. 95 00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:05,760 Speaker 1: You look at all these teams in the NFL making moves. 96 00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: The Niners made a move. Think about that. The Green 97 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,400 Speaker 1: Bay Packers did not make a move. What is Aaron 98 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:17,920 Speaker 1: Rodgers thinking He's like in division? The Vikings are better, 99 00:06:18,320 --> 00:06:22,480 Speaker 1: the Bears would Chase Claypool are better, and the Ravens 100 00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 1: are better. The Niners are better all these people around, 101 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 1: and then he reads where the Rams were willing to 102 00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: give up two first round picks to get pass Rusher 103 00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:37,120 Speaker 1: Brian Burns for Carolina. And here's Aaron Rodgers thinking, can 104 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:39,480 Speaker 1: we make a can we make a run on somebody 105 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:45,000 Speaker 1: like I don't know if Aaron's envious. He doesn't come 106 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,719 Speaker 1: off as envious. And he's always said nice things about 107 00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,800 Speaker 1: Peyton Manning or Tom Brady or Joe Montana. I don't 108 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:53,880 Speaker 1: see Aaron as an envious person. We all have some envy, right, 109 00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:57,560 Speaker 1: But if you're Aaron Rodgers, you're looking around today. Minnesota 110 00:06:57,640 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 1: is absolutely better with tight end T J. Hawking. San 111 00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:06,680 Speaker 1: Francisco's absolutely better with Christian McCaffrey. That is not arguable 112 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: just in the NFC those two alone. Chicago Chase Claypool 113 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:17,240 Speaker 1: Packers still have the Bears on their schedule. They're better today. 114 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: You start, you know, the Bears aren't going to win 115 00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:24,960 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl, but Green Bay may need to beat Chicago. 116 00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:32,520 Speaker 1: Now it's Montgomery and Herbert Cole, Comet, Mooney, Claypool, Justin 117 00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: Fields has some stuff to work with. Now. I don't 118 00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 1: think the Bears are better than the Packers, I don't think, 119 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,560 Speaker 1: but the Packers stilt to play him. If I was 120 00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:44,360 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers sitting around today, I mean to be a 121 00:07:44,400 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 1: pro athletet to be a competitive person. I mean, he 122 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: took fifty million, he wouldn't work out with the rookie 123 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: receivers and OTAs so sums on him. But if you're 124 00:07:58,440 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers today, you look at what the Vikings did, 125 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,520 Speaker 1: what the Niners are doing. I know a lot of 126 00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:06,920 Speaker 1: people think I don't like Aaron Rodgers, but the truth 127 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: is I work at Fox and we have the NFC, 128 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,680 Speaker 1: and now the NFC has taken some shots in recent 129 00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: years where the AFC now feels like it has the 130 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: great quarterbacks and the better teams. I would like to 131 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:25,680 Speaker 1: see Green Bay add pieces because the Packers are an 132 00:08:25,680 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: incredibly relevant brand. I'm not rooting against Aaron. I think 133 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: Aaron puts himself out there, and when you put yourself 134 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:40,240 Speaker 1: out there, I appreciate you creating content. But you'll find 135 00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,280 Speaker 1: with a lot of pro athletes, they're spending a lot 136 00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 1: of their time being pro athletes, and just because they 137 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,679 Speaker 1: listen to a Joe Rogan podcast or they read something 138 00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,920 Speaker 1: off a Reddit board that doesn't mean it's accurate. They 139 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: think maybe they're smarter. It's like a study came out 140 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,440 Speaker 1: about cannabis this week. We always thought cannabis made you 141 00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 1: more creative, and the study from applied psychology confirmed that 142 00:09:04,600 --> 00:09:08,920 Speaker 1: marijuana doesn't make you more creative. It makes you think 143 00:09:09,240 --> 00:09:13,240 Speaker 1: you're more creative. Sort of like when you're a pro athlete. 144 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:18,280 Speaker 1: You go online and you think I am very smart. 145 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,400 Speaker 1: I am much smarter now, but I mean, God, at 146 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: least fifty percent of the ship on the internet is misinformation, 147 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,440 Speaker 1: people just making stuff up. So I think when these 148 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: pro athletes start talking about stuff that's not really sports, 149 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:40,080 Speaker 1: it can get dicey fast. We all know professional athletes 150 00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 1: care about what they look like, and as you know, 151 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,559 Speaker 1: I care about what I look like.

So Joe Burrow didn't have to 192 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,600 Speaker 1: show up today. We called his reps and said, listen, 193 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: he played last night. His time is going to be shrinking. Uh. 194 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,760 Speaker 1: Generally Joe plays, you know, Sunday, Sunday afternoon. We do 195 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,079 Speaker 1: this on Tuesday but Joe Burrow and his rep said, nope, 196 00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:27,000 Speaker 1: we want to talk right now. And that's after a 197 00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,400 Speaker 1: pretty rough Monday night football game which I had sat 198 00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: on the air on Fox on Monday at had a 199 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:36,040 Speaker 1: snake pit field to it. Monday night game on the 200 00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:39,559 Speaker 1: road divisional rival. Um, listen, Joe, you you guys had 201 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: kind of turned the corner on first half. When did 202 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:43,719 Speaker 1: you kind of get a sense in that that you 203 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:48,599 Speaker 1: were like, oh, crap, this is we're having protection issues. Well, 204 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 1: you know, the first drive, we moved it right down 205 00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 1: the field and Miles Garrett ended up making a great 206 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: play tipping a ball on an RPO and fell around 207 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 1: in the hands of their corner. And so after that, 208 00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:01,120 Speaker 1: you know, we just weren't quite able to get our 209 00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,680 Speaker 1: momentum back. After that, our defense had two big turnovers 210 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: we weren't able to capitalize on, and then after that 211 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: it kind of went all down hill. It's a matchup league. 212 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 1: The Jags have given the Colts problems. It's just the 213 00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: way it's always been. Chargers to me have always matched 214 00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:23,440 Speaker 1: up well with Mahomes, Andy read in the Chiefs. I 215 00:13:23,480 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: can remember Justin Herbert's first starting the Pros against Mahomes, 216 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 1: You're like, Wow, they match up. Could it be argued 217 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 1: that Cleveland, because of their corners, because of Miles, they 218 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:37,200 Speaker 1: were a tough matchup personnel wise? Yeah, they're really they're 219 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,280 Speaker 1: really good pass rushers. You always, I mean, we've they've 220 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 1: they've made giant plays, big impact plays against us every 221 00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: time we've played them in their corners or some of 222 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:51,679 Speaker 1: the best in the league. Denzil didn't play last night, 223 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:56,679 Speaker 1: but their guys stepped up and made big plays for him, 224 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: So you always got to give them credit. But we 225 00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,199 Speaker 1: also didn't play as well as we should have. Your 226 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: four and four, you're essentially halfway through this season. Give 227 00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:13,199 Speaker 1: me something you're really happy with. Well, apart from last night, 228 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: we've responded to all the adversity that we've gone through 229 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,840 Speaker 1: so far, and that's a credit to the character of 230 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: the guys in the locker room. And this is just 231 00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: like all the other times. It's a it's not a 232 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,800 Speaker 1: panic mode by by any means. We are five and 233 00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:28,440 Speaker 1: four going into the bye last week. We have a 234 00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: chance to go out and get a win this week 235 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:32,240 Speaker 1: and go five and four and to the bye just 236 00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: like we did last year. So we we're not panicking 237 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,000 Speaker 1: about where we're at. There's still a lot of football 238 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 1: to be played. The you know, I was saying this 239 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: morning on Fox on Tuesday, I said, you know, it's 240 00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:47,960 Speaker 1: a year by year league, the Rams and the Bengals. 241 00:14:49,880 --> 00:14:53,000 Speaker 1: This is why teams like Philadelphia gets Robert Quinn, or 242 00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 1: the Niners get McCaffrey, or the Ravens get Roquan Smith. 243 00:14:56,920 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 1: Is when you're in that Super Bowl bubble and there's 244 00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:03,120 Speaker 1: a great play are out there, go get him. It's real. 245 00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:06,200 Speaker 1: Minnesota gets t J Hawkins in a terrific tight end 246 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:11,560 Speaker 1: from Iowa. And go back to last year at Week 247 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:15,200 Speaker 1: eight for you guys, and I think people kind of 248 00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: forget that the magic ride started later. Where were you 249 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 1: last year at this time we were, I mean this 250 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,440 Speaker 1: time last year we had just lost the Jets on 251 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,200 Speaker 1: the road after a promising start of the season, and 252 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,800 Speaker 1: then going into the bye, we played the same Browns 253 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,560 Speaker 1: team that ended up kicking our ass again last year 254 00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: at the same time. So things are playing out very 255 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,880 Speaker 1: similar similarly to how they did early last year. And 256 00:15:42,920 --> 00:15:45,560 Speaker 1: so hopefully we can get a win this week into 257 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: the bye and kind of ride that momentum take me 258 00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,440 Speaker 1: to the game last year where you walked off the 259 00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: field and Joe, you felt like, all right, we've got 260 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,680 Speaker 1: because remember now we know you as winners. But at 261 00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: that time in three the Bengals, where's the game? You're 262 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 1: walking into a tunnel homer away and you're like, it 263 00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: feels different, like we are we have crossed a threshold. 264 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:11,920 Speaker 1: You know, after we played the Raiders on the road 265 00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 1: last year was our first game after the buye. You know, 266 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 1: it was a it was a dirty, physical, ugly game 267 00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:20,440 Speaker 1: that we ended up making the plays at the end 268 00:16:20,480 --> 00:16:22,280 Speaker 1: to pull it out. And then we go into Denver 269 00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:24,600 Speaker 1: I think the week later and pull out another one 270 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: just like it, and we kind of figured out how 271 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,400 Speaker 1: to win those kind of games, right, you know, this 272 00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 1: year we haven't. We haven't won those kind of games. 273 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:37,120 Speaker 1: We haven't made those plays at the end early on 274 00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 1: to put us in that position. So we we've got 275 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 1: some some stuff to figure out. But nobody's panicking. We're 276 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,440 Speaker 1: excited about the guys we have in the locker room. 277 00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:50,160 Speaker 1: We're going to put in another good week of practice 278 00:16:50,160 --> 00:16:52,440 Speaker 1: and go out there and put on a good performance 279 00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:56,640 Speaker 1: on Sunday. So you had a Peyton Manning meeting. He 280 00:16:56,760 --> 00:17:00,600 Speaker 1: talked about that. Um, I don't know if he was 281 00:17:00,600 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: one of your idols. Obviously he's like I always I 282 00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:08,840 Speaker 1: always look at Montana. The one word I would say 283 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:12,359 Speaker 1: is cool. He was always cool Manning to me, I 284 00:17:12,359 --> 00:17:15,639 Speaker 1: would say academic, like I think Peyton made everybody have 285 00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,520 Speaker 1: to be smarter, like not that. I mean when I 286 00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,000 Speaker 1: was growing up, I don't remember talking about you know, 287 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,480 Speaker 1: he had to be brilliant to be a quarterback and 288 00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:25,720 Speaker 1: like Peyton like raised the bar, like you have to 289 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: go to the line with three plays. That's how I 290 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:32,480 Speaker 1: view him. How did you view Peyton Manning before you 291 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: met him and durn Itt? Well, I mean he was 292 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 1: one of the guys that idolized growing up. And then 293 00:17:40,240 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 1: since I've come into the league, you can tell he 294 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 1: really cares about the game of football, and he's trying 295 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: to impart the wisdom that he had and has on 296 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 1: the game to people like me and people across the 297 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: league who are trying to do exactly what he did. 298 00:17:56,520 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: And he really cares about furthering the game and making 299 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:04,120 Speaker 1: it a better product for the fans and for us 300 00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: on the field. You know, it's interesting. Aaron Rodgers reportedly 301 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,639 Speaker 1: in Peyton Manning did not love a lot of motion 302 00:18:10,760 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: behind them during a play. They wanted to see the defense, 303 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 1: how is it set go? So even you know, you 304 00:18:16,880 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 1: think to yourself, oh, all these quarters as smart as 305 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,960 Speaker 1: Peyton is, Oh they want all emotion and not necessarily. 306 00:18:23,480 --> 00:18:27,920 Speaker 1: But when I think about that, for you, if somebody said, oh, 307 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,640 Speaker 1: Joe Is really likes this and that, Like, how when 308 00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:35,639 Speaker 1: you look at a defense, if you were constructing your 309 00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:37,679 Speaker 1: game plan, what do you like and what don't you? 310 00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,159 Speaker 1: I mean, what do you really feel comfortable with? How 311 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,000 Speaker 1: much pre snap motion do you like? Yeah, it just 312 00:18:43,040 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: depends on the defense. Certain certain defenses really give you 313 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,840 Speaker 1: a lot of tells when you do a change of 314 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:53,400 Speaker 1: passing strength motion, or you bring a tight end into 315 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,199 Speaker 1: the core, or you started running back out and emptying 316 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 1: and you bring it back in. Certain teams have tells 317 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:00,040 Speaker 1: like that and certain teams don't. So I think it 318 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: really just depends on the defense that you're playing in 319 00:19:02,920 --> 00:19:06,760 Speaker 1: and the scouting report based off those motions. Boomerasias and 320 00:19:06,880 --> 00:19:08,840 Speaker 1: said recently that when he heard you were like an 321 00:19:08,880 --> 00:19:11,119 Speaker 1: All State point guard, He's like, oh, he's going to 322 00:19:11,200 --> 00:19:14,240 Speaker 1: be a great quarterback. And I think there is value 323 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:17,800 Speaker 1: in that I really do, because not just the distribution 324 00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:22,159 Speaker 1: of it, but I mean you kind of a coach, Like, 325 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 1: what kind of point guard were you? I like to 326 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:35,120 Speaker 1: score points? I was definitely a scorer. You're Westbrook, That's 327 00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 1: exactly right. Maybe slightly less athletic, slightly, but you like you. 328 00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: You'd bring it up looking to score. Yeah, I would. 329 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:48,280 Speaker 1: Sixth grade. I would bring it up cross half court 330 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: and I'm shooting it if it's open. Wow. So you 331 00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: never played with Clay Thompson. Did you ever have a 332 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: two guards? Say? Bro, the way the game was built 333 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,800 Speaker 1: to be played yourself, pass into the wings. Usually I 334 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,200 Speaker 1: usually was able to score some points. So nobody said 335 00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 1: too much. As you go halfway through a season when 336 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 1: the NFL expanded the season to seventeen games, I said, 337 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,879 Speaker 1: it wouldn't bother me at all. If a lot of 338 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,360 Speaker 1: players said, listen, I'm going to take a second by, 339 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:25,000 Speaker 1: that wouldn't bother me at all. And a quarterback is 340 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:28,840 Speaker 1: a little different. But do you find now Joe, this 341 00:20:28,920 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: is the second year with it, do you kind of 342 00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,760 Speaker 1: find the sensibility the psychology to us even though it's 343 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: only a game. But that's for Aligneman. That's fifty eight 344 00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:43,800 Speaker 1: more collisions. Yeah. Do you think have you noticed the 345 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: Bengals changing things? Players talking about that you're in your 346 00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: second year of this marathon adding a game? Yeah, you 347 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,840 Speaker 1: know for me coming into the league, my rookie year 348 00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:56,679 Speaker 1: is the only sixteen game season. I didn't even make 349 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: it through it, so all I know for a full 350 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:02,800 Speaker 1: season is seventeen games, and it's definitely a grind. It's 351 00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 1: a long season, and I would think if you were 352 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 1: to add a second bye, you'd probably go to eighteen games. 353 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:13,840 Speaker 1: So you would add a game and added by Right now, 354 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,359 Speaker 1: I think we're in a good spot. Seventeenth game gives 355 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:24,280 Speaker 1: more opportunities for tiebreakers as far as record goes, just 356 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 1: because it's an odd number of games. So I think 357 00:21:26,480 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 1: I like the seventeen games. If you were to add 358 00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:29,879 Speaker 1: another game, and you would think you would have to 359 00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:33,720 Speaker 1: go to two buys. Do you already know what you're 360 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:35,560 Speaker 1: going to do in your bye week? You're just gonna 361 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,400 Speaker 1: sit and watch TV? Yeah, that's the plan. Just sit 362 00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: on the couch and not get my workouts in and 363 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: just relax at home. Do you escape from football? Yeah, 364 00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: you gotta get away from it for you do two 365 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: or three days. Yeah, the season is so long. I 366 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: mean it's a it's a six month season, and then 367 00:21:56,359 --> 00:21:57,760 Speaker 1: if you make the Super Bowl, it ends up being 368 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:01,520 Speaker 1: seven months. So you gotta at some point throughout that 369 00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:03,200 Speaker 1: you got to take a break and get your mind 370 00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:07,439 Speaker 1: off and come back refreshed. It's interesting because like in 371 00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,639 Speaker 1: college basketball, you play thirty six games NBA, it's eighty 372 00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: two minimum. College football, you're now like an LSU it's 373 00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:17,560 Speaker 1: a thirteen or four game season. NFL's closer, it's like 374 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 1: sixteen seventeen. But when you made that playoff run last year, 375 00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,960 Speaker 1: you got hit a lot. I mean when that season 376 00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:28,880 Speaker 1: was over last year, I mean, did you feel physically 377 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: and mentally gasped, exhausted More mentally than physically. My body 378 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:35,359 Speaker 1: is feeling good towards the end of the year is 379 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:40,840 Speaker 1: the best I felt, But mentally the season takes a toll. 380 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:42,960 Speaker 1: When you get into the playoffs and you get down 381 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,400 Speaker 1: the stretch towards the end of the year, it's kind 382 00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: of different because every game is such a must win 383 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 1: that it's so intense you're not even looking forward to 384 00:22:54,119 --> 00:22:56,760 Speaker 1: the next week. It's like this is a one week season, 385 00:22:57,119 --> 00:22:59,320 Speaker 1: and so it doesn't really feel once you get down 386 00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:01,520 Speaker 1: to the nitty grid, it doesn't fuel. He goes by 387 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:06,879 Speaker 1: a lot faster. This week's gold Metal Performance goes to 388 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: a team who is shocking the NFL. Pete Carroll and 389 00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:14,840 Speaker 1: the surprising Seahawks continue to roll big win over the Giants. 390 00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson exits and a massive weight lifted from the 391 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:23,919 Speaker 1: locker room. Pete himself needs to be the star. He teaches, motivates, 392 00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 1: team feeds off his relentless energy. Older players sometimes get 393 00:23:28,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 1: worn out by him, but the younger guys love him. 394 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:34,480 Speaker 1: Pete's created that self belief against Seattle as their swagger back. 395 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:39,800 Speaker 1: This week's gold Metal Performance is sponsored by Legacy Precious Metals. 396 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,440 Speaker 1: We're living in tough economic times with soaring grocery prices, 397 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,119 Speaker 1: high inflation, unstable stock market.

You play chess at your locker. 421 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:30,720 Speaker 1: I'm a backcammon guy. Nobody ever I know how to 422 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,920 Speaker 1: play chess, or at least I did, but backcammon was 423 00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:38,200 Speaker 1: always my thing. What does it do what is where 424 00:25:38,240 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: does it take you? What does it do? I don't know. 425 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,080 Speaker 1: I like to play on game days for the game 426 00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 1: every now and then, if it's a afternoon game or 427 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:50,200 Speaker 1: night game, kind of get your mind firing a little bit, 428 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 1: and you know, you're not thinking about other stuff, you're 429 00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: not focusing on the anxiety of game day, and you're 430 00:25:58,080 --> 00:25:59,919 Speaker 1: getting away from it, but your mind is still firing 431 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:07,600 Speaker 1: getting ready for the day. So the trade deadline came 432 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,280 Speaker 1: and college has a transfer portal. But the one thing 433 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:16,679 Speaker 1: I've said where I don't think media or fans get this. 434 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:22,280 Speaker 1: If I was traded tomorrow to another company, I would 435 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,359 Speaker 1: be like, my company didn't like me. And then if 436 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,280 Speaker 1: I saw I was traded for like a fifth round 437 00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: draft pick, I really like, hell's that mean? Not better 438 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,159 Speaker 1: than a fifth round draft pick. I've always thought we 439 00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:40,120 Speaker 1: under appreciate the psychology players have to deal with being shipped. 440 00:26:40,160 --> 00:26:42,920 Speaker 1: I mean, you literally take your daughter to school and hey, 441 00:26:42,920 --> 00:26:47,240 Speaker 1: we're moving to Miami, like on trading deadline. And I 442 00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 1: know Chase Claypool, Roquan Smith, T. J. Hawkinson a couple 443 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:56,520 Speaker 1: days before or a week before, Christian McCaffrey that part 444 00:26:56,560 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 1: of the business you've seen players already moved by the Bengals. 445 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: Could you take me there too? I think it's not dehumanizing, 446 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:08,480 Speaker 1: but it's really humbling, and I don't think I don't 447 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:15,080 Speaker 1: think we appreciate it. Yeah, it's definitely different from anything 448 00:27:15,080 --> 00:27:18,400 Speaker 1: you've ever experienced, just because every now and then you're 449 00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 1: with a guy for you know, half a season, and 450 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 1: then he gets moved and you don't there's no time 451 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:28,360 Speaker 1: to say bye or anything. He's cleaning out as locker, 452 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:30,959 Speaker 1: he's gone. You don't have to see him. So it's pretty, 453 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: like you said, humbling. And it's part of the business. 454 00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,159 Speaker 1: And you guys, livelihoods are on the line. This is 455 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:41,800 Speaker 1: how people make money and provide for their family. And 456 00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:45,320 Speaker 1: so it's always it always makes you think about it. 457 00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: So Jamar Chase is out. Thank God, you don't go 458 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: to the internet. You know, people are saying, you know, 459 00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:57,040 Speaker 1: without Jamar Chase, Joe Burrow, and I'm like, oh, people stop. 460 00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 1: Do you think to yourself more looks for tea, more 461 00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,200 Speaker 1: looks do you kind of in your mind math it 462 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:07,679 Speaker 1: out or or I mean, listen, Jamar is a once 463 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:11,000 Speaker 1: a decade. He's a generational talent. I can remember when 464 00:28:11,040 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: he was at LSU. I can remember going on the 465 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:15,560 Speaker 1: air saying he's a pro football player playing at LSU, 466 00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:21,800 Speaker 1: like he's better than there is there a situation Joe 467 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:25,080 Speaker 1: without Jamar last night. Not that he's a crutch, but 468 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:29,640 Speaker 1: he is so valuable to you you trust him so implicitly. 469 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:31,800 Speaker 1: Is it how much harder is it not playing with 470 00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,959 Speaker 1: like your ally? Yeah, whenever you have a guy like 471 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,280 Speaker 1: that that it's gonna be out it's gonna your offense 472 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,200 Speaker 1: will look different. He's too elite of a player to 473 00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,479 Speaker 1: think that you're just gonna go out there and offense 474 00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:47,400 Speaker 1: is going to look exactly the same. It's not. So 475 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,720 Speaker 1: you have to find ways to enhance the what what 476 00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 1: your other guys do well? And you know last night 477 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,920 Speaker 1: we we didn't make enough plays to win the game. 478 00:28:59,480 --> 00:29:02,880 Speaker 1: But T and tb Or in my opinion, pro Bowl 479 00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 1: caliber receivers, and a lot of our guys, the other 480 00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:09,760 Speaker 1: three guys that played last night, they're gonna have to 481 00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 1: step up two and they made plays in the game 482 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:15,520 Speaker 1: last night. But overall, collectively, as a unit, we got 483 00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,200 Speaker 1: to pick up the slack from Jamar not being out there. 484 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:23,960 Speaker 1: Do you think Cleveland knowing Jamar Chase wasn't out there, 485 00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:30,360 Speaker 1: defended you Joe Burrow differently stuff to say. They were 486 00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 1: doing a lot of similar stuff that they were doing 487 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:36,280 Speaker 1: to us last year. So I would say maybe they 488 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:39,640 Speaker 1: they change it slightly if if Jamar's out there, but 489 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:43,280 Speaker 1: I think mostly they do the same. When you going 490 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:46,520 Speaker 1: at half in a hole, what does Zach say, there's 491 00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,920 Speaker 1: not you know, there's not a lot of time to 492 00:29:49,120 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 1: sit there and talk about it. It's just got to 493 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,800 Speaker 1: come back out and do our jobs. And we've never 494 00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,680 Speaker 1: for the most part, we always you know, fight our 495 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:58,600 Speaker 1: away and clar our way back into games.
