Speaker 2: are still very topsy turvy. Don't know what to make

00:01:26,240 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 2: this first segment is gonna hit very near and dear

30
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,120
Speaker 2: to your heart because there has been with the topsy

31
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,480
Speaker 2: turbinus of like the beginning of the season also comes

32
00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 2: some catastrophic and season altering injuries for not only players

33
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: but teams. And I feel like in the beginning two

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 2: weeks of this season we have seen more than our

35
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 2: fair share of quarterback like, specifically quarterback injuries that are

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 2: now completely changing the trajectory of so many different teams.

37
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:01,800
Speaker 2: And one of those is dear and dear to your heart.

38
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,000
Speaker 2: Although he may play this Sunday, Brock Party.

39
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,440
Speaker 4: Not I thought you were talking about Jag McCarthy and

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: I was like, I don't think he's playing on Sunday.

41
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,880
Speaker 2: No, he's definitely not playing on Sunday. But Brock Party might.

42
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,680
Speaker 3: Not start, not to start, highly unlikely.

43
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 4: Kyle Shannon said that he starts, he could be the

44
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 4: number two, the backup quarterback, or the third emergency quarterback.

45
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160
Speaker 3: Which, if I may, I find I don't know if ironic.

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:26,640
Speaker 4: Is the right word, but he could be the third

47
00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 4: emergency quarterback. And there would not be a third emergency

48
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 4: quarterback if not for what happened to Brock Party and

49
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:34,959
Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers in the Nitty Championship against the Eagles,

50
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Speaker 4: so full circle.

51
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:36,960
Speaker 3: I don't know what to make of that.

52
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 2: Oh gosh, well not to mention. I mean, it's not

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 2: like Brock is the only injury that the forty nineers

54
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,800
Speaker 2: are dealing with right now. They've been hit hard by

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,560
Speaker 2: the injury Buck already, and that's like what that's what

56
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 2: doomed them last season. Like, doesn't seem like they can

57
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:49,720
Speaker 2: catch a break.

58
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 3: It definitely does not.

59
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 4: In twenty twenty three, they were so lucky on injuries,

60
00:02:54,919 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 4: and I think they were the healthiest team in the league,

61
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 4: and of course went to the Super Bowl.

62
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 2: But this harm karma comes for all of us.

63
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 4: Maybe it's bizarre this team is constantly dealing with so

64
00:03:07,240 --> 00:03:10,680
Speaker 4: many injuries, and yes they are dealing with a number

65
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:15,200
Speaker 4: of them. George Kittle on IR Juwan Jennings questionable tomorrow

66
00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 4: with an ankle injury, Spencer Burford out, Connor Colby now

67
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:23,640
Speaker 4: questionable with a groin injury. Ben Barsche's are all offensive

68
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 4: lineman for people who aren't as ingrained to the four

69
00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 4: hundred design. Ben BArch went to IR, I mean, it's

70
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:30,680
Speaker 4: just it's bananas.

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: It is well, and that severely affects mac Jones now,

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 2: who will start for the forty nine ers against the

73
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 2: Arizona Cardinals and that defense. So I'm very interested to

74
00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640
Speaker 2: see how this goes. I mean, he completed what twenty

75
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: three or thirty four passes for two hundred and fifty

76
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: three yards and two touchdowns against zone coverage in particular

77
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 2: and Week two against the Saints, So as long as

78
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 2: there are Zona decides to play zone, I think mac

79
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,839
Speaker 2: Jones is gonna be okay. But he threw just two

80
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:58,040
Speaker 2: touchdown passes and six interceptions against zone in twenty twenty four,

81
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: which I it's that's gonna be the resurgence of mac Jones. Man.

82
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 4: He also had a better O line last week or

83
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 4: a less injured OH line last week, so.

84
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 3: This will be interesting to see.

85
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 4: It'd be very interesting to see and that's no disrespect

86
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 4: to Mac Jones. But I think something we are also

87
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 4: seeing throughout the league is O lines matter, guys, they

88
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:16,920
Speaker 4: matter a lot.

89
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: It's almost like I've made it, My life's worked. It

90
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: almost is I understand that.

91
00:04:21,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: Maybe now people were really, really truly listened to you.

92
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 2: I didn't want people to have to learn the hard way.

93
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 2: But good God, and someone else who's learned the hard

94
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:30,200
Speaker 2: way over the course of his career, Joe Burrow is

95
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:35,320
Speaker 2: another one of these quarterbacks that I am. I am devastated. Tracy, Yeah,

96
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 2: because Joe Burrow, Cincinnati Bengals quarterback. It's cruel. A year

97
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 2: removed from leading the league in passing yards and touchdowns

98
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,400
Speaker 2: forty three touchdowns. Last year, he won Comeback Player of

99
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: the Year and it was totally wasted by a horrific

100
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 2: defense in Cincinnati. And now that maybe I'm not saying

101
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 2: this with any conviction for the record, but maybe the

102
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 2: defense is just merely bad. Joe Burrow and gets turftoe.

103
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 2: And for those that don't know what turfto is actually,

104
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,000
Speaker 2: Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce went through what it is

105
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 2: on their podcast this week because a listener called in

106
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 2: and said, like what exactly is turftoe because it sounds

107
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 2: like the most like cartoonish injury and it's not. It's

108
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: absolutely horrific. And it's the tendon in your big toe,

109
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:22,479
Speaker 2: which is what you push off of, it's how you walk,

110
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,160
Speaker 2: it's how you do anything athletic that can get sprained,

111
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:29,920
Speaker 2: it can get torn, and that is what's classified as

112
00:05:29,960 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 2: turf toe, from just a sprain all the way up

113
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,680
Speaker 2: to a tear. And so I guess Joe Burrow had

114
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:39,000
Speaker 2: a very severe case of turf toe that's sidelining him

115
00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 2: for the foreseeable future. I just I can't say anything

116
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:46,239
Speaker 2: about his legacy, like I'm not going to talk about

117
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 2: how this could like affect his legacy because I just

118
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,719
Speaker 2: think he's such a fun quarterback and the little lizard

119
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 2: part of my brain is just like, well, he didn't

120
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 2: achieve college immortality until his last year of eligibility, and

121
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: that was after he transferred to LSU, won the Natty

122
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: and everything was all hunky dory. So I am hoping

123
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: that maybe this is just kind of the universe's cruel

124
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:10,240
Speaker 2: way of like bringing that back around but in the NFL,

125
00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 2: because I cannot quit Joe Burrow, and I will not quit.

126
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,919
Speaker 3: Joe Burrow, absolutely not, and I don't think he should

127
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 3: be quit.

128
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,600
Speaker 4: It's just it's very unfortunate and there are a lot

129
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,719
Speaker 4: of factors that go into it, not the least of

130
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 4: which being the O line, which which I think we're

131
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:23,440
Speaker 4: both are.

132
00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,919
Speaker 2: In which they cannot seem to get a serviceable O

133
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:27,200
Speaker 2: line in front of this man.

134
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:28,120
Speaker 3: I don't know how you do that.

135
00:06:28,200 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 4: I don't know how you invest in Joe Burrow when

136
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 4: you have are you believe one of.

137
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 3: The top are receivers for that matter, and is receivers.

138
00:06:35,240 --> 00:06:37,640
Speaker 4: You have one of the top quarterbacks, Like how do

139
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,440
Speaker 4: you not invest in protecting Joe Burrow? I just I

140
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:45,120
Speaker 4: don't understand it at all. I will never understand it.

141
00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,040
Speaker 4: And when you said that about transferring to LSU, this

142
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: is not gonna happens.

143
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:50,880
Speaker 3: Like maybe Joe Burrow needs to be traded somewhere where

144
00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: they respect offensive lines.

145
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 2: Like that's all I want, But well maybe it will.

146
00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,000
Speaker 2: Maybe that's like the I was almost you know, the

147
00:06:59,320 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 2: whole Marches T Higgins saga, and like Joe Burrow drew

148
00:07:02,920 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: like a hard line in the sand reportedly where he

149
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:06,160
Speaker 2: was like if you don't resign Tea like I don't

150
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,680
Speaker 2: like and jamar like I don't want to be here,

151
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:11,120
Speaker 2: and I'm like, I almost wish they didn't the Bengals

152
00:07:11,120 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 2: didn't do that, because then maybe that would have forced

153
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:15,800
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow to like make some moves and go elsewhere

154
00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 2: and force a trade and then he could have gone

155
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 2: somewhere where they find value in the big man up front,

156
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,040
Speaker 2: the big sexies. I just it's so it's so unfortunate

157
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 2: because he's such a huge talent. And then you also

158
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 2: but like, I mean, you just have to spend money

159
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 2: if the Cincinnati Bengals, because also that defense needs to

160
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,360
Speaker 2: just be like if they could be average, that would

161
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 2: be above and beyond what our hope is currently for

162
00:07:42,120 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 2: that unit. But like, this is an offense that, when

163
00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow is at the helm and healthy, is capable

164
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:51,040
Speaker 2: of scoring thirty points at least weekend, when week out.

165
00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:54,400
Speaker 2: And the fact that last year they were doing that

166
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 2: had the most potent, one of the most potent offenses

167
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 2: in the league, and they still couldn't even get to

168
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 2: the playoffs. I mean, it was an absolute crime by

169
00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:04,320
Speaker 2: the defense.

170
00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 3: If it was, it was absolute, right.

171
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:10,640
Speaker 2: I was so angry. Okay, that's not it where we're

172
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 2: not even we're not even close quarterback injuries. We've got

173
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels in Washington, which is also like that hurts

174
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,960
Speaker 2: my heart because he started at ASU, he went to LSU.

175
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,200
Speaker 2: I'm marrying into the LSG fan base. So Jayden is

176
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:27,200
Speaker 2: like our very high overachieving son. My fiance and I

177
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:29,720
Speaker 2: no relation whatsoever, But this is this is our this

178
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,080
Speaker 2: is our dude. And he was so much fun last

179
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 2: year and he hadn't been you know, he he I

180
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 2: don't know like his he he wasn't doing through the

181
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 2: first two weeks of the season. He wasn't doing the

182
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,000
Speaker 2: things that like wowed you last year. Because like, one

183
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 2: of the things that was incredible, especially for such a

184
00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,600
Speaker 2: young player, was how good he was against the Blitz

185
00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: last year. And then through two weeks, Jane Daniels completed

186
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 2: just six of nineteen pass attempts thirty one point six

187
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,640
Speaker 2: percent against the Blitz, which is the lowest completion percentage

188
00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 2: in the league. And granted, like I mean, he probably

189
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: want to get against the Packers, who all of a

190
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 2: sudden rediscovered what a pass rush is, and he was

191
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 2: blitzed twelve times, only completed three of ten passes and

192
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,800
Speaker 2: a career low thirty percent completion percentage, So like he

193
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 2: hadn't been up to some of the level that we

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 2: saw last year, but you had to think that he

195
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,480
Speaker 2: was going to keep getting better, and now they have

196
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: to pull him.

197
00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: For Marcus Mariota for dot dot dot Marcus Mariota.

198
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,360
Speaker 3: Hopefully it's a knee injury.

199
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:31,360
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound because you know, now I'm a doctor

200
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 4: and a trainer, it doesn't sound terribly serious. But you know,

201
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 4: as someone who has now covered the NFL this is

202
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,120
Speaker 4: my tenth season, you can't really believe that one way

203
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,720
Speaker 4: or the other, because sometimes things that aren't terribly serious

204
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,200
Speaker 4: turn into an ir turn into one season ending injury.

205
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 4: Hopefully that it's not the case here. Sometimes they don't,

206
00:09:50,640 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 4: so time will tell, But for now it's the Marcus

207
00:09:53,640 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 4: Mariota Commanders.

208
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, and again you talked about an offensive line that

209
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 2: just I didn't I wanted them to do more there

210
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:06,679
Speaker 2: even before Jayde got hurt. And then like this is

211
00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,200
Speaker 2: one of those things that maybe it lingers or like

212
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 2: it reminds me a lot of like what happened to

213
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:13,640
Speaker 2: Jordan Love last year, which it wasn't specifically a me necessarily,

214
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: but like he had a couple of injuries where it

215
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 2: just kind of like stunted his momentum for the season,

216
00:10:21,040 --> 00:10:23,079
Speaker 2: and like it is, it's hard to get back into

217
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: the swing of things if you have to kind of

218
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 2: start stop start stop. So like hoping that this doesn't

219
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 2: keep Jane out too long and that he is afforded

220
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: or somewhat of a ramp up period to get back

221
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:37,360
Speaker 2: in Still not it, Nope, Still JJ McCarthy also out

222
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:41,800
Speaker 2: one thing Tracy that couldn't happen happened.

223
00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 3: I did it.

224
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 2: G G.

225
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:48,520
Speaker 4: McCarthy needs reps like this For those of you who

226
00:10:48,559 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 4: are like it's a soft benching, No it is not.

227
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:54,080
Speaker 4: They are invested in him. This man needs to play quarterback.

228
00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 4: He needs the reps, and then he gets hurt behind No,

229
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:59,320
Speaker 4: granted they've had some o line injuries, but behind a

230
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 4: terrible line in which two of them went out during

231
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:05,440
Speaker 4: the game Sunday night and J. J. McCarthy at one

232
00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 4: point limped off the field. And I was on an

233
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 4: airplane and I turned to the guy saying next to me,

234
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 4: and I was like, did he just limp off the field?

235
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,480
Speaker 4: Did that look to you like he limped off the field.

236
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:15,800
Speaker 4: He was like, ma'am, I don't know. I need you

237
00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 4: to take a breath. I was like, does that look well?

238
00:11:18,080 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 4: I will not take a breath. I think he just

239
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,080
Speaker 4: limped on the field. But this is not what they need.

240
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 4: They need him playing football, and this is the worst

241
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:29,120
Speaker 4: thing I know. They say think that, They say two

242
00:11:29,160 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 4: to four weeks.

243
00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,080
Speaker 3: Hopefully it won't be that long.

244
00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 2: It's more than four.

245
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,200
Speaker 4: Maybe it's more hopefully it's more two than four, because

246
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,800
Speaker 4: otherwise you have a starch his career in which the

247
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: first season he gets hurt and is out the entire season.

248
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,720
Speaker 4: The next season he plays two games and he's art

249
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 4: and he needs reps.

250
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: And I think everybody knows.

251
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: I feel very much believe in JJ McCarthy, but he

252
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:52,960
Speaker 4: does have to actually be playing football, and this is

253
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,680
Speaker 4: not This is pretty much the worst thing that could

254
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 4: have happened for them.

255
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:57,360
Speaker 2: No, I'm totally with you, because he took all the

256
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 2: mental reps last year. You can't you can't use that

257
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 2: as like a building block anymore. You took all the

258
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 2: mental reps you could possibly need last year. Now you

259
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:06,520
Speaker 2: need to go out and actually execute. And we saw,

260
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 2: you know, he can fight through just tremendous adversity when

261
00:12:10,360 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 2: you're talking about in a game. Look at that Bears

262
00:12:12,920 --> 00:12:15,400
Speaker 2: game on Monday night where he played horribly for three

263
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 2: quarters and then came back to lead the team to

264
00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:20,040
Speaker 2: a to a win and to take advantage of the defense.

265
00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 2: He looked calm, cool, collected. He got his guys going.

266
00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:26,480
Speaker 2: He has that like leadership, Jennie Quah, that is so

267
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: incredibly important, but like you have to be on the

268
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:35,000
Speaker 2: field building that rapport through executing the scheme. And I

269
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 2: just this is the one thing that you were just like,

270
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:38,840
Speaker 2: just don't get hurt, stay healthy this year and so

271
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 2: far that hasn't happened. And yet we're still not done.

272
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,560
Speaker 3: Still we have one more.

273
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 2: At least, I mean yeah. And then you have you

274
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 2: have Justin Fields now in New York, who got knocked

275
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 2: out of the Bills game with the concussion. The game

276
00:12:54,520 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: had not been going well for Justin uh prior to

277
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:01,800
Speaker 2: the concussion. He was three of eleven twenty seven yards

278
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:04,839
Speaker 2: before he got knocked out. I yeah, not literally, I

279
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:06,440
Speaker 2: don't think he literally got knocked out. I don't mean

280
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,560
Speaker 2: to phrase it that way. It was he is dealing

281
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 2: with a concussion. That is really scary stuff. The way

282
00:13:11,480 --> 00:13:14,080
Speaker 2: Justin Fields plays, it leaves him prone to these kinds

283
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,360
Speaker 2: of injuries because of how much he can't tuck the

284
00:13:16,400 --> 00:13:17,840
Speaker 2: ball and run, how tough of a runner he is,

285
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 2: how big of a guy he is. And it's unfortunate

286
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,480
Speaker 2: because week one we were all like, oh my god,

287
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 2: is Justin Fields fixed? Because in New York he like

288
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: against Pittsburgh sixteen or twenty two, two hundred and eighteen

289
00:13:29,280 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 2: yards and a touchdown. He looked comfortable in the offense,

290
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 2: he was executing. He ran I don't have the rushing

291
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 2: numbers in front of me, but he ran a significant

292
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,680
Speaker 2: amount to get them, you know, to extend drives. And

293
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:44,679
Speaker 2: you were like, okay, this is how you play Justin Fields.

294
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,720
Speaker 2: This is how you get him comfortable. And now again

295
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 2: it's like, all right, you go out there one week,

296
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,880
Speaker 2: could do well. It wasn't going well in the second week.

297
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,080
Speaker 2: So you're like, what what are you still? Was that

298
00:13:56,240 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: just a flash? Are you coming back down to earth? Now?

299
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,319
Speaker 2: We don't know, and we don't know how long he

300
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,320
Speaker 2: is gonna be out with the concussion.

301
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, And that's and that's the thing with the NFL,

302
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 4: and it's it's so fun to do for all of us.

303
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 4: We watch a player in one week like he's back,

304
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 4: he's amazing, he's the greatest quarterback of all time. Then

305
00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:12,880
Speaker 4: the next week he should be benched, he shouldn't even

306
00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:14,880
Speaker 4: be allowed in the building. Like this is we do

307
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 4: it as fans, we do it all the time. But

308
00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: it's it's part of it. But that's it is a

309
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:21,680
Speaker 4: very what do we say, it's a week to week league, Carmen,

310
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: and that really is very much the same. Now, I

311
00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 4: will admit that after that fourth quarter with jaj McCarthy,

312
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:28,360
Speaker 4: it was like, he's obviously the greatest quarterback of all time,

313
00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:30,280
Speaker 4: give him the MVP, and let's just shut this thing

314
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:30,840
Speaker 4: down right now.

315
00:14:31,160 --> 00:14:32,200
Speaker 3: So I am that person.

316
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 4: But we do that and it just is too bad

317
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 4: because I think in all of the in a lot

318
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:39,480
Speaker 4: of situations, especially with Jade and Daniel justin Field and

319
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy, you're dealing with people that we don't know

320
00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 4: yet and they need the opportunity to show what they are,

321
00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 4: who they are, what they can do, and this kind

322
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:50,200
Speaker 4: of stuff, it's it's obviously the very tough part of

323
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 4: football in the NFL, but this kind of stuff is

324
00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 4: just kind of heartbreaking because they can't. They can't show

325
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: what they do. And Justin Fields in some ways even

326
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:00,560
Speaker 4: more so because, like you said, is the who he is.

327
00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,880
Speaker 4: Did he find his place? It would be great for

328
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,560
Speaker 4: him to be able to see that, and of course

329
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 4: now no, he can't, and he went to Ohio States.

330
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 3: That was big of me to say that.

331
00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:11,240
Speaker 2: I feel that was big of you. Yes, Michel noted

374
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 2: of Week three. Good great slate. You know, we had

375
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 2: the Thursday night game, which was kind of your typical

376
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,919
Speaker 2: Thursday night game. But I want to talk about a

377
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:26,680
Speaker 2: few of these games coming up here. So Rams Eagles,

378
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: I think this is two of you know, this was

379
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 2: these two NFC playoff teams last year. Obviously the defending

380
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: champion in Philadelphia. Eagles. Very interested to see how this

381
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 2: one goes because I really I think these teams are

382
00:17:40,960 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 2: actually like on paper, they're really well matched. I think

383
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,040
Speaker 2: we all know what happened with Jalen Carter for the

384
00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,200
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles and their defense before the first play from scrimmage.

385
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 2: Ejected from the Dallas Cowboys game for spitting on Dak Prescott.

386
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:00,280
Speaker 2: But then Jalen Carter last week proceeded to play forty

387
00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:02,399
Speaker 2: five of the eagles fifty seven defensive snaps seventy eight

388
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 2: point nine percent in Week two, and most among their

389
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: defensive linemen. He also tied for the team lead with

390
00:18:09,160 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 2: Zack Baond with three pressures across thirty three pass rushes

391
00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 2: in the game. So came back with a vengeance, as

392
00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 2: we all knew we would. He is the Eagle's best

393
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,920
Speaker 2: defender and now will be obviously active for this Rams game.

394
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,840
Speaker 2: I'm very interested to see how this goes for Matt Stafford,

395
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:29,199
Speaker 2: because I am not do we think that he's He's okay.

396
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 2: I mean he was at Kershaw's thing.

397
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,720
Speaker 4: He was he as was I actually, but I did

398
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:35,879
Speaker 4: not see Matthew Stafford in persons. He didn't say with him,

399
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:37,199
Speaker 4: I did not say with him. But he was on

400
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,080
Speaker 4: the big screen. So that is why I can confirm

401
00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:39,680
Speaker 4: you know that.

402
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 2: Matt Stafford and Clean Kershaw.

403
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:42,399
Speaker 3: Went wait what together?

404
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,120
Speaker 2: Wait? No, really did you see did you see both

405
00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 2: the Rams and the Lions get in on it?

406
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 7: Yes?

407
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 3: I thought that was actually pretty funny.

408
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 2: The Rams quote tet It is like did you know

409
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,639
Speaker 2: they went to high school together? And the Rams were like,

410
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: oh my god. The Lions were like, oh my god,

411
00:18:54,119 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 2: that's such a fun stat.

412
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that was really really funny.

413
00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 4: And he was there, and I mean he was sitting

414
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:03,200
Speaker 4: there watching game.

415
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 3: He looked he looked fine.

416
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: But you know the thing for him is going to

417
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 4: be kind of what we talked about before they got

418
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:09,280
Speaker 4: to protect him.

419
00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,960
Speaker 2: Yes, and I came across the stat on next Gen

420
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 2: and of the twelve completions when targeting the slot last

421
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 2: this season so far, so through the first couple of games,

422
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:22,520
Speaker 2: seven of them have been on passes over ten air yards,

423
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 2: which is tied for the most of the NFL. Which

424
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 2: is like, okay, Matt Stafford back, But the Eagles defense

425
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,600
Speaker 2: has allowed the second two s yards per attempt and

426
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,840
Speaker 2: a thirty three point three percent success rate on passes

427
00:19:31,840 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 2: targeted to the slot, which is tied for the second

428
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,160
Speaker 2: lowest rate in the NFL. So this is like, okay.

429
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:40,720
Speaker 2: The thing that Matt Stafford is doing really really well

430
00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:43,440
Speaker 2: right now is something the Eagles are very very very

431
00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:45,760
Speaker 2: good at defending, and.

432
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:49,920
Speaker 4: There's very much there's the problem. As they say, it's

433
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 4: gonna be very interesting now. Something the Eagles are not

434
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 4: doing great at offensively is passing the ball.

435
00:19:56,640 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 3: I mean hurts.

436
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,440
Speaker 4: It is yet to attempt to pass between ten and

437
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,680
Speaker 4: nineteen years this season. So they have two complations over

438
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,840
Speaker 4: ten yards through two weeks. So for the Rams part,

439
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:09,760
Speaker 4: spoiler alert, Make Jalen Hurst throw the ball and you

440
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: may be in pretty good shape here.

441
00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:15,560
Speaker 2: Right and limit what Matt Stafford can do down the field, yes,

442
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:17,520
Speaker 2: and against you know, to the slot.

443
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:19,760
Speaker 4: And this is why they're so well matched, by the way,

444
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:21,880
Speaker 4: because it they do know it's gonna be It's really

445
00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 4: gonna be a fun game too.

446
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 2: I mean I could, I could go on for an

447
00:20:25,119 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 2: hour as to like the stats of like what the

448
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,160
Speaker 2: Eagles do well, what the Rams do well, and how

449
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 2: that like it directly contradicts each other. So it's like, Okay,

450
00:20:31,520 --> 00:20:34,200
Speaker 2: who's gonna win? And so I think it's a really

451
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:37,480
Speaker 2: it'll be a really great matchup. Another great one Lions Ravens.

452
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 2: And here's the big thing with this matchup is the

453
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 2: Ravens have quite a few key injuries going into this game.

454
00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:48,680
Speaker 2: Nobdie Matta, Bouquet, Kyle van Noy, Isaiah likely pat Ricard

455
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 2: all out for this game against the Alliance, which is

456
00:20:51,760 --> 00:20:54,679
Speaker 2: a big deal because the Lions theoretically, and I know

457
00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 2: they played the Bears last week, theoretically have like found

458
00:20:57,800 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: their groove again. Where you know, I I never thought

459
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:02,920
Speaker 2: that they were as bad as they looked against the

460
00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:05,640
Speaker 2: Packers in Week one. Still, I don't think they're necessarily

461
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:07,399
Speaker 2: as good as they looked against the Bears. You know,

462
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:09,399
Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna drop fifty two points on

463
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:11,440
Speaker 2: every people and on everybody, or fifty three points.

464
00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:15,919
Speaker 5: Excuse me, but no, it's fifty two.

465
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:19,199
Speaker 2: It was fifty two. They only have Marcus Stavenport out now,

466
00:21:19,240 --> 00:21:22,040
Speaker 2: Taylor Decker Kirby Joseph questionable for that game. But I'd

467
00:21:22,080 --> 00:21:24,560
Speaker 2: be shocked if either of those guys don't play. And

468
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 2: it seems like, you know, they know what this offense

469
00:21:27,320 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 2: is supposed to look like now under John Morton, new

470
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,000
Speaker 2: offensive coordinator. They also know what this defense is supposed

471
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,359
Speaker 2: to look like, not only under Kelvin Shepherd, who was

472
00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 2: elevated to defensive coordinator had been the team's linebackers coach.

473
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,800
Speaker 2: But they have Adan Hutchinson back. Yeah, and that is

474
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,880
Speaker 2: the domino effect from Adan Hutchinson being back is tremendous,

475
00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 2: especially when you are dealing with some injuries in the secondary.

476
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 2: But you have two of the best safeties in the

477
00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 2: league in Kirby Joseph and Brian Branch. I'm just I'm

478
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: very interested to see how this goes for Lamar and

479
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,680
Speaker 2: company when they have so much any they have two

480
00:22:01,840 --> 00:22:05,360
Speaker 2: very key defensive injuries in Nadi Matta Bouquet and Kylevin Noy,

481
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,320
Speaker 2: but like I mean, Isaiah Likely, who was kind of

482
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,840
Speaker 2: Lamar's one of those safety blankets. Like Isaiah Likely's catch

483
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,359
Speaker 2: radius is just insane. And then pat Riccard who's three

484
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,840
Speaker 2: hundred pound full back. I mean, there's no like he

485
00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,479
Speaker 2: can do. He can he can allow you to do

486
00:22:18,520 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 2: some things offensively that like no one other team can.

487
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,840
Speaker 2: So I'm very interested to see how that one goes.

488
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 2: And then here in Chicago, Cowboys Bears.

489
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:30,439
Speaker 4: Well, and this brings up a question that I have

490
00:22:30,560 --> 00:22:34,640
Speaker 4: for you on the Bears, because we were just talking

491
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 4: about the Lions and we said, well, you know it

492
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:38,920
Speaker 4: was against the Bears, and the Vikings first game was

493
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 4: against the Bears.

494
00:22:40,040 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 3: Are the Bears destined to this season?

495
00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 4: Sylvia the team where the caveat two wins are, Well,

496
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:46,600
Speaker 4: it was against the Bears.

497
00:22:47,560 --> 00:22:50,239
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Okay, but I do think that

498
00:22:50,800 --> 00:22:54,120
Speaker 2: for the time being, it's going to still be that.

499
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,040
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson said this week I was at Hollis. He

500
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: said this week, like they are going to be playing

501
00:22:57,640 --> 00:23:00,119
Speaker 2: their best football in December, and I don't think are

502
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,240
Speaker 2: going to play their best football until December. It's probably true,

503
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 2: which is understandable given the tremendous amount of turnover that

504
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 2: they've gone through. The Ben Johnson Kayleb Williams experiment is

505
00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,760
Speaker 2: just that, it's an experiment. We're going to see how

506
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:15,359
Speaker 2: this goes. But they have a ton of the Bears

507
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,000
Speaker 2: have a ton of secondary injuries right now, and Dak

508
00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:23,480
Speaker 2: Prescott actually has passing and receiving options so this year.

509
00:23:23,560 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 2: So we're gonna see how that goes at Soldier Field.

510
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,080
Speaker 2: But for we're also going to see what's going on

511
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,000
Speaker 2: in the world of college football right now. With an

512
00:23:31,040 --> 00:23:38,320
Speaker 2: update break from Martin Wiss.

513
00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:42,200

Speaker 8: Golden Flashes at the end of the first quarter. Auburn

522
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,240
Speaker 8: in Oklahoma. That's a top twenty five ETSC matchup. It's

523
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:13,560

Speaker 8: with a ten nothing lead over Nebraska on the road

527
00:24:24,040 --> 00:24:27,440
Speaker 8: at Nebraska, Michigan just fumbling with Bryce on quarterback Bryce

528
00:24:27,560 --> 00:24:30,520

Speaker 8: minutes left in the first half for Notre Dame and Perdue.

530
00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 8: Notre Dame with a fourteen to ten lead. In Major

531
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,439
Speaker 8: League Baseball, we saw the Nationals and the Mets. We

532
00:24:40,480 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 8: have the Nationals with a two to nothing lead over

533
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:50,080

00:24:55,320 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 8: Lopez with an interception. Thus far, it's not looking good

536
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 8: for Bill Belichick in that program.

537
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:07,199

547
00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:42,480
Speaker 2: more about our beloved joe Chicy. It is Kelsey Conway

548
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: of the Cincinnati Enquirer. Kels, how's it going.

549
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,600
Speaker 7: Hi friends, How are you guys good?

550
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,840
Speaker 2: All you kills good?

551
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,160
Speaker 7: I'm actually in Minnesota, so I'm joining you from Minnesota.

552
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 5: Yes today that tracks.

553
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:00,240
Speaker 2: Have so much fun at the game tomorrow because I

554
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 2: love that stadium. It's my favorite in the NFL. But

555
00:26:03,160 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 2: I need to talk to you about Joey b and

556
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: just what the vibes are right now in Cincinnati for

557
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,640
Speaker 2: the within in the Bengals facility. I mean, like after

558
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 2: last year getting so incredibly like his performance, getting so

559
00:26:17,840 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 2: wasted by just a god allful defense, and now he

560
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,679
Speaker 2: gets back and you're like, Okay, we're going to do

561
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: this this time, and now it's turf doo.

562
00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:32,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, I think you hit it. The one thing I've

563
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,880
Speaker 7: thought about this whole thing is manned day waste. Last year,

564
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 7: I mean, Joe Burrow was an MVP finalist, Jamar Chase

565
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:41,200
Speaker 7: wins the Triple Crown, Tree Hendrickson leads the league in sacks,

566
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,720
Speaker 7: and they missed the playoffs. But the mood I would

567
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:50,159
Speaker 7: say Sunday night was the saddest I've ever felt the

568
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 7: locker room. And that's you know, that's included like losing

569
00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 7: the Super Bowl, losing the AFC Championship game. Like I

570
00:26:57,600 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 7: went and talked to Ted Carris and Orlando Brown, to

571
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:04,679
Speaker 7: the Bengals starting offensive lineman, and they were just so

572
00:27:05,440 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 7: sad and upset and angry because they knew, like as

573
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,439
Speaker 7: you were saying, Carmen, like this was supposed to be

574
00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 7: the year that they put it all together. He finally

575
00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 7: got through a training camp healthy and didn't have an injury.

576
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 7: And it wasn't just like the bare minimum like Rock Purty,

577
00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 7: where you're going to be out a couple of weeks

578
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:26,199
Speaker 7: because it's not that bad of a turf toe injury.

579
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 7: It had to be the grade three and so I

580
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 7: think it went from sad and angry even Monday a

581
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,240
Speaker 7: little bit, it felt that way talking to coaches and players,

582
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:42,000
Speaker 7: and then by Wednesday, it really felt normal because the

583
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,560
Speaker 7: locker room is so used to Jake Browning. Jake Browning

584
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 7: has been with this team for a while. The players

585
00:27:47,280 --> 00:27:50,200
Speaker 7: have seen him when he went four and three as

586
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,760
Speaker 7: a starter down the stretch, when Joe had that risk injury.

587
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 7: So I will say like it felt normal again on Wednesday,

588
00:27:57,760 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 7: But it's only going to feel that way if they

589
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 7: keep this moving. I think it would be a different

590
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: story if you know, they go zero and four in

591
00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 7: these next four weeks and then you're starting to wonder,

592
00:28:08,160 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 7: like what does the rest of the season even look like?

593
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:13,480
Speaker 4: Well, and you look, you look at a game in

594
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,119
Speaker 4: car Man mentioned it's one of the best stadiums in

595
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,880
Speaker 4: the league in it absolutely is. It's also a tough

596
00:28:17,880 --> 00:28:20,679
Speaker 4: stadium to play in and with a tough defense. I

597
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 4: know the Vikings are dealing with a lot of injuries too,

598
00:28:22,600 --> 00:28:25,280
Speaker 4: But when you looked at tomorrow specifically, what do they

599
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 4: need Jake Browning to do to keep them in it

600
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:30,680
Speaker 4: and to ensure that they don't start going oh and

601
00:28:30,720 --> 00:28:31,960
Speaker 4: for tomorrow, If that made.

602
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 7: Sense, I think that it's just like he can't turn

603
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:38,040
Speaker 7: the ball over in that in that stadium, and obviously

604
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:42,800
Speaker 7: that's easier said than done. But Carson Wentz is a

605
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 7: good enough quarterback that I give him more opportunities. He's

606
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:48,920
Speaker 7: been in the league long enough to know what to

607
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:52,560
Speaker 7: do with the ball. So I think I think the

608
00:28:52,560 --> 00:28:55,200
Speaker 7: Bengals are going to win, and I think it's because

609
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:58,680
Speaker 7: they're gonna have a game plan that they really set

610
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,800
Speaker 7: up Jake Browning from having to make a lot of

611
00:29:01,920 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 7: difficult throws, like they have two of the best receivers

612
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,440
Speaker 7: in the NFL. So I think it's on the Bengals

613
00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,760
Speaker 7: coaching staff to create a game plan tomorrow that doesn't

614
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 7: make Jake have to do a lot and really just

615
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:14,840
Speaker 7: put the ball in the hands of the guys that

616
00:29:14,880 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 7: you paid forty and thirty million dollars to. Whether that

617
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 7: be get getting them the ball in creative ways, I

618
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 7: don't know what they'll do, but for me, with Jake Brownie,

619
00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 7: I just think you can't turn the ball over. You

620
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:28,680
Speaker 7: might get one, but it can't be, you know, a

621
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 7: two or three interception day, because as you guys both know,

622
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 7: in that stadium, the crowds can get behind you and

623
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,040
Speaker 7: that could really be an issue. So that's kind of

624
00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 7: the main key for me for tomorrow.

625
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 2: I mean, I want to talk specifically too about the

626
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 2: Vikings defense and who Jake brown is going to be facing,

627
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,320
Speaker 2: because it's Brian Flores and it's what Brian Flores can do,

628
00:29:49,960 --> 00:29:53,040
Speaker 2: and the simulated pressures and how often that they're presenting,

629
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,960
Speaker 2: you know, five guys on the line, which is something

630
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,240
Speaker 2: they've been doing a lot this season already, whether or

631
00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:01,520
Speaker 2: not they actually blitz and it's it can be incredibly confusing.

632
00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 2: But do you think that Jake Browning's experience up and

633
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,080
Speaker 2: to this point, like you said, he's no stranger in

634
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,960
Speaker 2: that locker room, do you think that that's enough to

635
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,440
Speaker 2: contend with something that can get as confusing as what

636
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 2: Brian Flores is going to present.

637
00:30:15,520 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 7: Yeah, because actually two years ago when Jake filled in

638
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:21,800
Speaker 7: for Burrow, they had a late season game against the

639
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,320
Speaker 7: Vikings and the Bengals was actually one. So they're no

640
00:30:25,440 --> 00:30:29,400
Speaker 7: stranger to what Brian Flores likes to do. And I

641
00:30:29,440 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 7: think that they're going to have a really good plan

642
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 7: for it, So I do think he's going to be

643
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 7: able to handle it. I wouldn't feel as good about

644
00:30:36,400 --> 00:30:38,600
Speaker 7: this if it was you know, a one or two

645
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:41,360
Speaker 7: year backup who's not been in the league.

646
00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:41,920
Speaker 2: That long.

647
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 7: It's like Jake's been here in Cincinnati, He's already beaten

648
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,280
Speaker 7: the Vikings defense with Brian Flores. It doesn't mean that,

649
00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:50,479
Speaker 7: you know, Brian Forest isn't gonna have different stuff up

650
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:54,400
Speaker 7: to leave this time around. But I genuinely think Jake

651
00:30:54,440 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 7: Browning thinks he can go in there and win, and

652
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:58,920
Speaker 7: that the team thinks that they can go in there

653
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 7: and win, especially against this defense. So I don't feel

654
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 7: like it's lip service, you know how Sometimes it's like, oh,

655
00:31:05,720 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 7: got to keep the ship moving. Like I actually think

656
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:10,120
Speaker 7: that they think that they can go in and win

657
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 7: with him tomorrow against that defense.

658
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:14,840
Speaker 4: This might sound kind of like an odd question, but

659
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:17,320
Speaker 4: when you talk about how they're so familiar with Jake

660
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:21,080
Speaker 4: Browning at this point, isn't that some ways, maybe blessing

661
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 4: and a curse isn't the right term, but it just

662
00:31:24,120 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 4: speaks to how often or Joe Burrow has gotten hurt

663
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 4: that by Wednesday they're like, well, we know what we

664
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:30,200
Speaker 4: got Jake Browning.

665
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 3: He does this all the time. Is that kind of

666
00:31:32,360 --> 00:31:33,000
Speaker 3: a tough thing?

667
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean that's like you're done on with that.

668
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 7: It's one of those things where it's unfortunate because it's

669
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 7: happened so often. But it's kind of like, well, here

670
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:46,040
Speaker 7: we go again, and at least they have someone who

671
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 7: the rist thing was that was different because it was

672
00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 7: later in the season and they didn't know what they

673
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 7: had and Jake. This one is just especially weird because

674
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,880
Speaker 7: we got six quarters of Joe Burrow healthy this year

675
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 7: before there's another almost. I mean, they're not throwing the

676
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,640
Speaker 7: idea of him coming back, you know, out the window,

677
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 7: but I mean it's gonna be until at least mid

678
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:13,360
Speaker 7: December before he can do anything. And at that point,

679
00:32:13,400 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 7: you just don't know where the Bengals are going to be.

680
00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 9: So would he come back? You don't know.

681
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,360
Speaker 7: But like you're saying, Tracy, it's like everybody's kind of

682
00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 7: used to it, but that's not something that you want

683
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,880
Speaker 7: to be proud of. So it's just a very bizarre situation.

684
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 2: All right. So what you're in Minnesota already? What's what's

685
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 2: on the menu tonight? Where are you going to dinner?

686
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 7: I don't know? Actually, I mean, do you guys have

687
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 7: any recommendations? Does Minnesota have Minneapola something that?

688
00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 2: Boy? Do I go to Matt's if you want to?

689
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 2: Jesse to Lucy. Juicy Lucy is their famous burger. It's

690
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 2: got the cheese on the inside of the burger. Be

691
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 2: very careful. I've burned myself on it. But Matt's is

692
00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:52,040
Speaker 2: purports to be the originator of the Juicy Lucy and

693
00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:55,040
Speaker 2: I think is the best one in Minneapolis. And then

694
00:32:55,120 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 2: if you want to stay, go to Manny's Manny' Steakhouses,

695
00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 2: Like I said, I said, at the bar, they get

696
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:02,760
Speaker 2: your nice Midwestern poor of wine. They set you up

697
00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 2: with the whole shebang and the steak right there at

698
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:05,960
Speaker 2: the bar. It's phenomenal.

699
00:33:06,480 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 7: Oh okay, I would sound like the vibe I'm going for.

700
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,920
Speaker 4: I would agree with Botham. Can I ask a really,

701
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: really silly question, do we have time?

702
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
Speaker 3: It's clear, Kelsey.

703
00:33:16,040 --> 00:33:21,920
Speaker 4: Do you see the similarities between Conrad Fisher and Joe Burrow.

704
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 7: I'm someone who watched the summer I turn pretty every

705
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,960
Speaker 7: week by the end I saw. I've seen some of

706
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,360
Speaker 7: those pictures. It's eerily similar.

707
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:37,840
Speaker 2: It's bananas, right, yeah, wid this is why you joined

708

00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,040

00:33:51,080 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 2: in the league. And yeah, good luck to I like,

714
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:58,440

Speaker 2: because I'm devastated.

716
00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 7: I can't wait to watch Gike Browning and Carson Wentz tomorrow.

717
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: As we all predicted for this Week three matchup.

718
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: Exactly. Thanks kill Hi k oh Man, what a no.

719
00:34:14,960 --> 00:34:17,080
Speaker 2: I can't even all right, well, on the other side

720
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 2: of this, we're gonna do the dues and the don't

721
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,200
Speaker 2: so stick around. You're listening to Fox Football Saturday more

722
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:28,000
Speaker 2: real chill. I don't know is this is this the

723
00:34:28,040 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 2: producers telling us Tracy that we're like, we're too stressed,

724
00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 2: stressed out, and we need like to take it down

725
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:34,280
Speaker 2: a notch.

726
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:38,120
Speaker 5: Relaxed.

727
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,480
Speaker 2: Seriously, can I just have this to fall asleep too?

728
00:34:42,320 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 2: Hopefully you're not falling asleep there listening. I'm calming vitally,

729
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,839
Speaker 2: that's Tracy Sandler. That voice that you heard, I think

730
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:54,520
Speaker 2: was Bo Benson. I'm it's I've got a squad box

731
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 2: of college football right now. Nothing that's stressing me out

732
00:34:58,760 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: too much. But I'm I don't have there. I mean,

733
00:35:00,560 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 2: Arizona State isn't playing Baylor yet.

734
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,480
Speaker 3: So I'm not really dancing in here. I just want

735
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:04,880
Speaker 3: you to know.

736
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:10,760
Speaker 2: Maybe it should just be a music station.

737
00:35:11,400 --> 00:35:13,359
Speaker 3: I don't hate it. I don't hate it. We could

738
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 3: sing about.

739
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: The sports, just nobody wants to hear anything. Nobody wants

740
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: to hear it. Trust me, I cannot carry it's here

741
00:35:18,920 --> 00:35:20,239
Speaker 2: to save my life. For as much as I talk

742
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 2: for a living, No, I love that though. I think

743
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 2: I could be a good radio, like a actual DJ.

744
00:35:26,960 --> 00:35:29,080
Speaker 5: You'd be great god.

745
00:35:31,280 --> 00:35:34,440
Speaker 4: With like a in Los Angeles watching them if you

746
00:35:34,520 --> 00:35:37,200
Speaker 4: get Wolverines and wondering if they're going to win, I think.

747
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:39,640
Speaker 3: Would be you'd be great. Well that was me, but

748
00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:40,200
Speaker 3: you would do that.

749
00:35:40,480 --> 00:35:44,399
Speaker 2: I was gonna say me. Tracy's like she's she's gone

750
00:35:44,400 --> 00:35:48,760
Speaker 2: full scent. All right, Well, we have our weekly segment

751
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 2: don't highlight.

752
00:35:53,239 --> 00:35:54,520
Speaker 1: Putting a spotlight on the.

753
00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,959
Speaker 3: Don't the subject brings me no joy.

754
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,080
Speaker 2: That that's insane.

755
00:35:59,320 --> 00:36:02,280
Speaker 1: It's time the dues and the don'ts in sports.

756
00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:05,440
Speaker 2: All right, I'm gonna start positively and I'm gonna have a.

757
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:13,960
Speaker 10: Do do talk your ish Baker Mayfield, I so Monday

758
00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:16,000
Speaker 10: Night's game, and I know that was almost a week

759
00:36:16,040 --> 00:36:16,880
Speaker 10: ago now, but that's okay.

760
00:36:17,200 --> 00:36:20,560
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still thinking about it. Baker Mayfield goes down,

761
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:24,480
Speaker 2: it looks like it could be a significant injury. And

762
00:36:24,520 --> 00:36:27,640
Speaker 2: you see CJ. Gardner Johnson now on the Houston Texans

763
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 2: come over and start like jawn at him. Baker pops

764
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 2: right back up, starts talking his you know what uh

765
00:36:34,960 --> 00:36:37,440
Speaker 2: to CJ. And then he's asked about it after the

766
00:36:37,480 --> 00:36:39,399
Speaker 2: game and he was like, yeah, we don't take any

767
00:36:39,480 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 2: you know what. And I'm like this this, How can

768
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,319

Speaker 4: me some time, but I I'm a Baker fan.

771
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:51,120

Speaker 2: I love it. I love it so much and I

Speaker 2: love keeping our producers on their toes. Sorry, guys, I have.

774
00:36:57,640 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 4: A du It's not football related, but I would be

775
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:03,240
Speaker 4: room miss if I didn't say it. Uh do retire

776
00:37:03,320 --> 00:37:06,360
Speaker 4: the way Clayton Kershaw is doing it. End of the

777
00:37:06,400 --> 00:37:08,960
Speaker 4: season ends up being his last regular season started at

778
00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:09,920
Speaker 4: Dodger Stadium last night.

779
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:10,359
Speaker 5: I was there.

780
00:37:10,400 --> 00:37:12,960
Speaker 4: It was amazing. But he's doing it in a way

781
00:37:13,080 --> 00:37:15,319
Speaker 4: that doesn't distract from the playoffs. The fans get to

782
00:37:15,440 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 4: enjoy it. There's not all this question of will he

783
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 4: or won't he after and truly such a respected guy.

784
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,919
Speaker 4: I mean even when he was taken out of the game,

785
00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:26,239
Speaker 4: even the giants at the front of their dugout were

786
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 4: up there clapping, and he got to respect it. So

787
00:37:29,840 --> 00:37:33,279
Speaker 4: do do go out like Clayton, and do be like

788
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:34,560
Speaker 4: Clayton for your career.

789
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:37,400
Speaker 2: It's I'm so happy that he had the chance to,

790
00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:37,919
Speaker 2: you know.

791
00:37:38,280 --> 00:37:40,280
Speaker 5: Do this on his own terms, one hundred percent.

792
00:37:41,440 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 2: Not a lot of people get that. And Clayton Kershaw

793
00:37:43,640 --> 00:37:47,440
Speaker 2: sure as heck deserves it. Okay, I've got it. Don't now, Okay,

794
00:37:47,560 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: don't show your hand. So Ben Johnson was asked about

795
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,240
Speaker 2: Tom Brady coming in to call the game the Cowboys

796
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,239
Speaker 2: Bears game this week when the Bears are going to

797
00:37:56,360 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 2: Las Vegas to play the Raiders. A team with that

798
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:02,080
Speaker 2: Tom Brady is, in my an already owner in Now

799
00:38:02,160 --> 00:38:05,120
Speaker 2: you know that the NFL has allowed Tom to participate

800
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,640
Speaker 2: in production meetings and talk to other players and coaches

801
00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 2: despite the fact that he is a team owner. And

802
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson was asked about and He's like, I mean,

803
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:14,600
Speaker 2: you guys have heard it. Clearly, I'm good at coach speak.

804
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 2: I'm just planning on doing that. So he's not showing

805
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:20,200
Speaker 2: his hand. He's not doing anything. He's gonna give Tom

806
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: Brady and KB Kevin Burkhart a bunch of coach speak,

807
00:38:23,560 --> 00:38:27,120
Speaker 2: which is honestly, I mean that stinks. Usually those production

808
00:38:27,200 --> 00:38:29,759
Speaker 2: meetings you get some you get some fun stuff in there,

809
00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:31,200
Speaker 2: and I just don't think that's going to be the case.

810
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:33,920
Speaker 2: And Ben Johnson called it out immediately. He's like, I

811
00:38:33,960 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 2: don't really care, but I'm not really gonna tell him anything.

812
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,239
Speaker 3: Which is fair. I can't bela fair.

813
00:38:39,280 --> 00:38:41,799
Speaker 4: I don't blame him Johnson for that at all. He's

814
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,479
Speaker 4: got a team to coach, and he's got a team

815
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 4: to coach that he doesn't want the entire season to be.

816
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:47,240
Speaker 3: Well, it was the Bears.

817
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,680
Speaker 2: So I don't think it's a big deal for the teams.

818
00:38:49,719 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 2: I really don't. But I do think it's a big

819
00:38:51,680 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 2: deal for the broadcast crew because they're just not going

820
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:54,240
Speaker 2: to get as good stuff.

821
00:38:54,320 --> 00:38:55,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I do. I agree with that.

822
00:38:56,040 --> 00:38:59,439
Speaker 4: I agree with that on our injury conversation we've had,

823
00:38:59,560 --> 00:39:03,640
Speaker 4: I got I got one. Don't don't go on social

824
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:07,240
Speaker 4: media and talk about how a player is quote made

825
00:39:07,360 --> 00:39:10,600
Speaker 4: of glass, and a player got paid and.

826
00:39:10,560 --> 00:39:11,400
Speaker 3: Now he's not performing.

827
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 4: These guys don't want to get hurt, and this is

828
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:18,719
Speaker 4: their job, this is their livelihood, and.

829
00:39:18,680 --> 00:39:21,480
Speaker 3: So I just I hate it. I really do hate.

830
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:24,920
Speaker 4: It when people do that. I just think it's completely unfair.

831
00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 4: And these guys work so hard and they sacrifice their

832
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,759
Speaker 4: bodies every day. Everyone at this point, we're in week three,

833
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,759
Speaker 4: and I can promise you probably almost everyone in the

834
00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:36,000
Speaker 4: NFL is dealing with something at this point, because that's

835
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:36,480
Speaker 4: the start.

836
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:38,080
Speaker 3: But that's mine.

837
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,880
Speaker 4: Don't say they're made of glass and make fun of

838
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,840
Speaker 4: a guy forgetting injured.

839
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,840
Speaker 2: Also, like, tell me you've never had a real injury

840
00:39:43,320 --> 00:39:47,840
Speaker 2: like ever or done anything like of athletic. Note because

841
00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,600
Speaker 2: I not that it wasn't terribly athletic. I tore my

842
00:39:50,640 --> 00:39:55,279
Speaker 2: ACL playing flag football, but like that recovery process is

843
00:39:55,440 --> 00:39:57,120
Speaker 2: enough to make you want to cry, like despite the

844
00:39:57,160 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 2: pain and everything like that, Like it's eight months and

845
00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:02,520
Speaker 2: that's just like a normal person, Like these guys are

846
00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,080
Speaker 2: having to get to a level that I was never

847
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:06,960
Speaker 2: at and like to do that. It's an incredible amount

848
00:40:06,960 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 2: of work and it stinks in your you're separated from

849
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,279
Speaker 2: your team and you don't get to be out there

850
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:13,640
Speaker 2: and like you don't get to do the perks of

851
00:40:13,719 --> 00:40:18,080
Speaker 2: the job. So yeah, I hate that, Like don't especially yeah,

852
00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:21,000
Speaker 2: if you aren't on the field with these guys. Stop

853

881

Speaker 2: figure it Out? I do? Okay, all right, So it

882
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,280

00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,839
Speaker 2: So we're gonna play figure it Out, and we're gonna

887
00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:57,840
Speaker 2: figure it out with some teams that through two weeks

888
00:41:57,840 --> 00:42:01,359
Speaker 2: of the season, we just we we don't know who

889
00:42:01,400 --> 00:42:04,120
Speaker 2: they are yet, and whether that be because of injuries,

890
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,359
Speaker 2: which we've talked about quite a bit this show, or

891
00:42:06,520 --> 00:42:10,080
Speaker 2: just because you're just you don't know what you have

892
00:42:10,440 --> 00:42:12,799
Speaker 2: and through the first two weeks this season. Really you

893
00:42:12,840 --> 00:42:14,480
Speaker 2: don't know what you have through the first four weeks

894
00:42:14,520 --> 00:42:17,400
Speaker 2: of this season. But that's neither here nor there. I

895
00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:20,920
Speaker 2: want to know what teams you want to figure out

896
00:42:21,239 --> 00:42:23,239
Speaker 2: with me, So I'm gonna let you go first. What

897
00:42:23,400 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 2: team do you want to talk about? First?

898
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 3: Let's talk about the Patriots.

899
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 2: Let's talk about the Patriots.

900
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:32,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's talk about them. We don't quite know yet.

901
00:42:32,960 --> 00:42:34,640
Speaker 4: We know they have a good new coach who I

902
00:42:34,680 --> 00:42:37,560
Speaker 4: think creates a winning culture and is a good fit there.

903
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:40,400
Speaker 4: They have a quarterback that I think some of us

904
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,480
Speaker 4: think could be good, but we just don't know what

905
00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 4: they are yet.

906
00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:44,480
Speaker 9: No.

907
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: I listen, the marriage between Mike Rabel and the New

908
00:42:50,120 --> 00:42:53,640
Speaker 2: England Patriots was just like preordained. It was destined, Like

909
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:56,040
Speaker 2: this was faded. This is written in all of the

910
00:42:56,840 --> 00:43:00,799
Speaker 2: football mythology books. If we talk about the football gods,

911
00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 2: then there has to be a mythology, right. That's like

912
00:43:04,880 --> 00:43:06,719
Speaker 2: I've always that's been actually one of my things where

913
00:43:06,719 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 2: I'm like, if I were to do something else, maybe

914
00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,200
Speaker 2: I would like create I would be an author and

915
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,520
Speaker 2: I would like make up football mythology. How much fun

916
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:13,920
Speaker 2: would that be?

917
00:43:14,040 --> 00:43:16,280
Speaker 4: I think it's fun. I'm trying to think of names

918
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:17,799
Speaker 4: and who would be who, so I.

919
00:43:17,760 --> 00:43:20,600
Speaker 2: Know, like like assigning like you know these crazy like

920
00:43:20,800 --> 00:43:24,680
Speaker 2: Greek mythology names to like different things. Anyway, So that's

921
00:43:24,680 --> 00:43:26,600
Speaker 2: a tangent I didn't need to go down. But Mike Rabel,

922
00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:29,000
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, played for the Patriots, just embodies

923
00:43:29,040 --> 00:43:31,400
Speaker 2: the Patriot way, but like with a fun kind of

924
00:43:31,480 --> 00:43:34,959
Speaker 2: other twist where he did you see this week too

925
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:37,120
Speaker 2: where I don't know if you know who Taylor Kyle's is.

926
00:43:37,160 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: He does great work covering the New England Patriots and

927
00:43:40,560 --> 00:43:42,600
Speaker 2: he does a lot of like tape breakdowns and he's

928
00:43:42,680 --> 00:43:47,120
Speaker 2: very granular with that stuff. He goes on Mina Kimes show. Okay, yes,

929
00:43:47,160 --> 00:43:49,719
Speaker 2: and so he was Rabel was at the podium and

930
00:43:49,760 --> 00:43:51,480
Speaker 2: he was talking through things and he was talking about

931
00:43:51,480 --> 00:43:53,560
Speaker 2: I think a combo block and he was like, yeah,

932
00:43:53,600 --> 00:43:55,120
Speaker 2: you know, we didn't really execute that, not that any

933
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:57,319
Speaker 2: of you would have noticed that other than Taylor over here.

934
00:43:57,560 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 2: And he has like and it's just like it blew.

935
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,799
Speaker 2: And now Taylor's on Cloud nine, So shout out to

936
00:44:02,800 --> 00:44:06,799
Speaker 2: Taylor Kyle's But this this team, like I have such

937
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,360
Speaker 2: belief in Drake May, and I just think, like you know,

938
00:44:10,400 --> 00:44:11,680
Speaker 2: it just takes a little bit of time. I think

939
00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: they did a lot of work on their offensive line.

940
00:44:13,719 --> 00:44:15,520
Speaker 2: I was really worried about it last year when Drake

941
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,680
Speaker 2: May came in and I was like, please keep him

942
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:20,520
Speaker 2: out of harm's way because he's a sweet baby angel

943
00:44:20,600 --> 00:44:22,840
Speaker 2: child that I need to protect because I think he

944
00:44:22,840 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 2: could be really, really good and we're seeing like.

945
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 4: A sweet baby angel child and no one's protecting him. Sorry,

946
00:44:28,400 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 4: I'm off topic.

947
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:32,600
Speaker 2: It's okay, you don't need I don't need to keep

948
00:44:32,640 --> 00:44:35,960
Speaker 2: getting reminded. But I just I like I like the

949
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:38,000
Speaker 2: New England Patriots a lot. I think that defense, you know,

950
00:44:38,080 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 2: it's playing with the grit that Mike Brabel is so

951
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:43,840
Speaker 2: well known for, and I think that they could be

952
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,280
Speaker 2: I don't know that I'm ready to like. I landed

953
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:49,040
Speaker 2: with them the same place I was in the beginning

954
00:44:49,080 --> 00:44:50,480
Speaker 2: of the season, where it's like, I'm not ready to

955
00:44:50,480 --> 00:44:52,239
Speaker 2: tell you they're going to contine with the Bills for

956
00:44:52,280 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 2: that division. But I do think that they could be

957
00:44:55,320 --> 00:44:57,359
Speaker 2: a sneaky wildcard team. And through two weeks of the season,

958
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 2: You're right, I haven't figured them out yet. Yep, I

959
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,480
Speaker 2: am going to go in the most predictable place possible

960
00:45:02,520 --> 00:45:05,920
Speaker 2: given where I live. But the Chicago Bears yes, because

961
00:45:05,920 --> 00:45:07,400
Speaker 2: I want to go on a little bit of a

962
00:45:07,400 --> 00:45:10,719
Speaker 2: diatribe here of like this is why we don't know

963
00:45:11,239 --> 00:45:14,359
Speaker 2: anything through two weeks of the season. Things have looked

964
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:18,239
Speaker 2: bad in Chicago. I'm not shying away from that. It's

965
00:45:18,280 --> 00:45:22,799
Speaker 2: looked horrendous. In fact, especially when Detroit hangs fifty two

966
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:27,920
Speaker 2: on you. There's injuries now too, especially defensively in the

967
00:45:27,920 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 2: second and third levels of that defense. And Jalen Johnson

968
00:45:31,360 --> 00:45:34,279
Speaker 2: was just placed on ir He's out indefinitely. That's your

969
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:39,600
Speaker 2: best player, not great. Here's the thing this is again

970
00:45:40,560 --> 00:45:42,080
Speaker 2: I'm going to pull back the curtain a little bit

971
00:45:42,200 --> 00:45:45,720
Speaker 2: because I want to keep telling people this. When coaches

972
00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:49,959
Speaker 2: go to game plan for a team, they watch minimum

973
00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:52,840
Speaker 2: four games, Like four games is like the average that

974
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,000
Speaker 2: they watch from that team to get an idea of

975
00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 2: their tendencies, to get an idea of what they do

976
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,759
Speaker 2: out of certain looks, to get an idea of what

977
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:01,239
Speaker 2: their scheme looks like with the quarterback does all of

978
00:46:01,280 --> 00:46:04,400
Speaker 2: those things. It takes the sample size is four games,

979
00:46:05,080 --> 00:46:08,480
Speaker 2: and that is not something that we have played yet.

980
00:46:09,040 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 2: So That's why you see every single year, the first

981
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,839
Speaker 2: four games the season especially are just they're weird. They're

982
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,799
Speaker 2: all weird. Like teams are never as good or never

983
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:20,319
Speaker 2: as bad as what they look like in the first

984
00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:24,040
Speaker 2: four weeks the season, because when you're preparing for these

985
00:46:24,080 --> 00:46:28,279
Speaker 2: guys in the early aughts, you're having to look back

986
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:30,920
Speaker 2: at last year or like how they played this team

987
00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:32,800
Speaker 2: and that team, and it's like, well, last year doesn't

988
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:34,560
Speaker 2: really matter, even if it is a lot of the

989
00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:37,160
Speaker 2: same personnel or if it's the same coordinator. Like, there

990
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 2: are new wrinkles every single year for every single team,

991
00:46:39,880 --> 00:46:42,960
Speaker 2: So you there's just a huge mystery box when you're

992
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:45,480
Speaker 2: game planning for opponents within the first four weeks the season.

993
00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:49,120
Speaker 2: Week four on is when you start to kind of

994
00:46:49,160 --> 00:46:52,000
Speaker 2: get an idea of what these teams, who these teams are,

995
00:46:52,080 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 2: what they do, what their tendencies are, all that kind

996
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 2: of stuff. So if we haven't played four games, how

997
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:59,799
Speaker 2: am I going? And this can apply, I mean pretty

998
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:02,360
Speaker 2: much this applies to everybody in the league, but with

999
00:47:02,440 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears in particular, especially with the new coordinator

1000
00:47:06,120 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 2: and the overallul that they had and the way that

1001
00:47:08,440 --> 00:47:11,919
Speaker 2: Ben Jonson is trying to he broke Caleb Williams down

1002
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:14,640
Speaker 2: to build him back up. He's changed everything. His footwork,

1003
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,480
Speaker 2: the way he throws the ball, the timing, the rhythm

1004
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,719
Speaker 2: of everything. Everything has changed for him. So yeah, he

1005
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:24,240
Speaker 2: is like thinking through things. And what gives me encouragement

1006
00:47:24,239 --> 00:47:26,160
Speaker 2: about the Chicago Bears. There is the last thing I'll

1007
00:47:26,160 --> 00:47:30,120
Speaker 2: say about them and why, Like what helps me kind

1008
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,759
Speaker 2: of figure like, all right, I think this is going

1009
00:47:31,800 --> 00:47:34,600
Speaker 2: to look better. Is that when they are within the script.

1010
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:36,440
Speaker 2: So the first ten to fifteen plays of a game

1011
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:39,359
Speaker 2: are usually scripted by the head coach in advance. It's

1012
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,640
Speaker 2: to evaluate things how the team that they're playing is

1013
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,680
Speaker 2: going to play them in certain packages, and this, that

1014
00:47:44,760 --> 00:47:47,799
Speaker 2: and the other. When the Bears have been in the script,

1015
00:47:48,160 --> 00:47:50,680
Speaker 2: you see the vision for the offense. Yeah, Caleb Williams

1016
00:47:50,719 --> 00:47:53,200
Speaker 2: has been extremely effective. He looks comfortable when he knows

1017
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:56,439
Speaker 2: what's coming. And I'm like, all right, if you can

1018
00:47:56,680 --> 00:47:59,680
Speaker 2: just get comfortable in the system which comes with reps,

1019
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 2: then maybe it can look more like it does in

1020
00:48:03,040 --> 00:48:04,960
Speaker 2: the beginning of games and not what it looks like

1021
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:07,319
Speaker 2: when Caleb Williams reverts back to all of his bad

1022
00:48:07,360 --> 00:48:10,280
Speaker 2: habits towards the end of games while they're playing from behind.

1023
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:12,160
Speaker 2: So that is what I will say about the Chicago Bears.

1024
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 2: I don't know that it's going to work, but I

1025
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 2: know it's too early to tell well.

1026
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:17,720
Speaker 4: And I think you bring up a really good point

1027
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,840
Speaker 4: because the reality is how a team even plays in

1028
00:48:20,880 --> 00:48:23,279
Speaker 4: September and October, which of course we're going beyond four

1029
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,640
Speaker 4: games at that point, right, is not as important as

1030
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:30,320
Speaker 4: how they play in November and December. And you certainly

1031
00:48:30,360 --> 00:48:32,320
Speaker 4: need to if you want to go to the playoffs.

1032
00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:35,840
Speaker 4: You have to be above water in September and October.

1033
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:38,719
Speaker 4: But it's the teams that get hot, the teams that

1034
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:42,080
Speaker 4: play well November December, those are the teams that go

1035
00:48:42,160 --> 00:48:42,680
Speaker 4: to the playoffs.

1036
00:48:42,719 --> 00:48:43,879
Speaker 3: Those are the teams that make a run.

1037
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:46,040
Speaker 4: Even the teams that do that and maybe don't go

1038
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:47,960
Speaker 4: to the playoffs, like the Bears, could be a prime example

1039
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,439
Speaker 4: of this. They may be a team that gets hot

1040
00:48:50,480 --> 00:48:53,520
Speaker 4: in December, starts playing well in December, as you said earlier,

1041
00:48:53,680 --> 00:48:55,279
Speaker 4: maybe they don't go to the playoffs this year, but

1042
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:56,920
Speaker 4: it gives them momentum into the following year.

1043
00:48:56,960 --> 00:48:58,120
Speaker 3: We saw that with the Lions a.

1044
00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 4: Few years ago, and that is a really good point generally,

1045
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:05,239
Speaker 4: because we just we don't know yet about any of them.

1046
00:49:05,280 --> 00:49:06,960
Speaker 4: I mean, I've seen the forty nine ers go three

1047
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:09,520
Speaker 4: and five and then go to the Super Bowl.

1048
00:49:09,719 --> 00:49:11,560
Speaker 2: So and who's who the Lions were those?

1049
00:49:11,600 --> 00:49:15,000
Speaker 3: By the way, Ben Johnson's Lions.

1050
00:49:15,080 --> 00:49:18,680
Speaker 2: Well, exactly, it was Ben Johnson's offense in that first year.

1051
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 2: And that's what I always keep going back to when

1052
00:49:20,480 --> 00:49:22,480
Speaker 2: it comes to the Bears. To wrap that up too,

1053
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:24,920
Speaker 2: is they started one in The Lions started one in

1054
00:49:25,000 --> 00:49:27,440
Speaker 2: six and twenty twenty two, Ben Johnson's first year as coordinator,

1055
00:49:27,680 --> 00:49:31,759
Speaker 2: and then they finished winning eight of ten. So I'm

1056
00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:33,319
Speaker 2: going to give the Bears at least that chance.

1057
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,839
Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, And I think you have to under the circumstances.

1058
00:49:36,880 --> 00:49:38,920
Speaker 4: I think that that's I think that's really important.

1059
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:40,759
Speaker 5: All Right.

1060
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:43,240
Speaker 4: I have one actually maybe kind of a similar idea.

1061
00:49:43,400 --> 00:49:47,040
Speaker 4: Maybe Okay, it's going to be kind of a weird one,

1062
00:49:47,080 --> 00:49:48,080
Speaker 4: so prepare yourself.

1063
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:49,880
Speaker 3: But I actually think they're Titans.

1064
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: And oh I love that, love that, thank you very much.

1065
00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:56,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the Titans are one. Cam Ward is legit.

1066
00:49:56,280 --> 00:49:58,000
Speaker 4: I think he is a really I mean, in two

1067
00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 4: games in the sample size so far, he is he

1068
00:50:01,080 --> 00:50:02,200
Speaker 4: has looked really fun.

1069
00:50:02,239 --> 00:50:03,400
Speaker 3: I think there's a lot of potential there.

1070
00:50:03,440 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 4: So I think the Titans we need to see a

1071
00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:06,359
Speaker 4: lot more to figure them out.

1072
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,319
Speaker 2: Oh my god. And I cam Ward, and I've said

1073
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:11,480
Speaker 2: this before on the show. I don't know if it

1074
00:50:11,520 --> 00:50:13,080
Speaker 2: was with you or if it was with Nikki, but

1075
00:50:13,200 --> 00:50:16,560
Speaker 2: like the least talked about first overall.

1076
00:50:16,120 --> 00:50:18,000
Speaker 3: Talk about it. You may have said that more than once, but.

1077
00:50:18,239 --> 00:50:20,880
Speaker 2: Yes I have, because I just he's so much fun

1078
00:50:21,280 --> 00:50:24,600
Speaker 2: to watch, and he was last year and like in college,

1079
00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,279
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, how like we've seen how one

1080
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:31,840
Speaker 2: quarterback can turn an entire franchise around the theme of

1081
00:50:31,880 --> 00:50:34,759
Speaker 2: the show, Joe Burrow, and how upset we are about

1082
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:37,839
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow, but think of what he did for the franchise,

1083
00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:41,319
Speaker 2: for that franchise for Cincinnati, And like cam Ward and

1084
00:50:41,320 --> 00:50:43,160
Speaker 2: like that's the thing is, like the Titans haven't even

1085
00:50:43,239 --> 00:50:46,120
Speaker 2: been that as unfortunate as the Bengals had been, you know,

1086
00:50:46,160 --> 00:50:48,600
Speaker 2: before Joe Burrow got there, Like there's been they flirted

1087
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,839
Speaker 2: with some success, not you know, not in the last

1088
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:56,719
Speaker 2: couple of years. Obviously full circle, yes, exactly, you see,

1089
00:50:56,719 --> 00:50:58,279
Speaker 2: how like you can just tie a little bow on that.

1090
00:50:58,440 --> 00:51:02,200
Speaker 2: But like, I mean, the things that cam Ward is doing,

1091
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:03,920
Speaker 2: and like, even when you get into like the really

1092
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:08,040
Speaker 2: nitty gritty, like nerdy stats are still so fun. Like

1093
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:10,879
Speaker 2: he's completed five of ten passes on extended dropbacks, which

1094
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 2: are four more seconds for sixty three yards in a

1095
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:15,839
Speaker 2: touchdown this season, which puts him in the company he's

1096
00:51:15,880 --> 00:51:18,040
Speaker 2: tied with Patrick Mahomes, C J. Stroud and Jay and

1097
00:51:18,120 --> 00:51:20,600
Speaker 2: Daniels for the second most in the NFL. So like,

1098
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:23,439
Speaker 2: I mean again like really needy, gritty, like cherry picking

1099
00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:27,439
Speaker 2: a stat there, but like it's it's still like every

1100
00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,040
Speaker 2: way you look at what cam Ward's doing in Tennessee,

1101
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,960
Speaker 2: it's fun. It's fun, and like, I really think that

1102
00:51:33,960 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 2: that defense in Tennessee can be better than Like I

1103
00:51:38,360 --> 00:51:40,239
Speaker 2: had high hopes for that defensive line last year. It

1104
00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:43,040
Speaker 2: didn't quite materialize, but I do think that this is

1105
00:51:43,080 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 2: something that could continue to get better this season. It's

1106
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,800
Speaker 2: gonna be really fun this weekend going, you know, divisional

1107
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,839
Speaker 2: matchup against the Colts, the resurgent Colts.

1108
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,359
Speaker 3: Question Mark, well, there's one you might need to see.

1109
00:51:54,480 --> 00:51:56,399
Speaker 2: I say, there's another one you might need to figure out.

1110
00:51:56,520 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 2: But I mean it's this game is going to be

1111
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,200
Speaker 2: and don't go a long way into figuring honestly, both

1112
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,680
Speaker 2: of these teams out. But I really want to see

1113
00:52:03,719 --> 00:52:05,920
Speaker 2: what the Titans can do because I mean that the

1114
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:10,080
Speaker 2: Texans don't look like as much of the big Bad Texans.

1115
00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:11,520
Speaker 2: I mean, they took the Bucks, you know, down to

1116
00:52:11,560 --> 00:52:14,799
Speaker 2: the wire, but they have that really domineering defense. But

1117
00:52:14,880 --> 00:52:17,200
Speaker 2: like I don't necessarily I do think that the AFC

1118
00:52:17,400 --> 00:52:21,680
Speaker 2: is South is the Texans to lose. Yeah, but I

1119
00:52:21,719 --> 00:52:23,680
Speaker 2: think that division is going to be a lot more

1120
00:52:23,680 --> 00:52:24,840
Speaker 2: interesting than we initially thought.

1121
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:26,080
Speaker 3: So I agree.

1122
00:52:26,120 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 4: I agree that I actually had the Texans down too.

1123
00:52:28,280 --> 00:52:30,319
Speaker 4: Is one that I need to see more because I

1124
00:52:30,320 --> 00:52:33,800
Speaker 4: don't know, they don't seem like the big Bad Texans anymore.

1125
00:52:34,040 --> 00:52:35,680
Speaker 3: And I'm just kind of wondering because.

1126
00:52:35,480 --> 00:52:38,359
Speaker 2: Of the offensive line. It's because of the offensive line here.

1127
00:52:38,400 --> 00:52:41,600
Speaker 2: They are not like all training camp, they didn't know

1128
00:52:41,600 --> 00:52:44,239
Speaker 2: who was going to start along the offensive line, and

1129
00:52:44,280 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: I'm like, maybe that matters, even when you have a

1130
00:52:46,520 --> 00:52:48,520
Speaker 2: really fun quarterback like CEJ Strout.

1131
00:52:48,320 --> 00:52:48,799
Speaker 3: It does matter.

1132
00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,759
Speaker 4: And the other thing with that too is offensive lines

1133
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:52,680
Speaker 4: need to have chemistry, and so if you don't know

1134
00:52:52,680 --> 00:52:54,399
Speaker 4: what's going to start off through training camp, you're putting

1135
00:52:54,440 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 4: them into a disadvantage as knowing that together as a unit.

1136
00:52:58,680 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 2: Yes, and this is a really fun like precursor to

1137
00:53:01,680 --> 00:53:03,480
Speaker 2: the conversation we're gonna have on the other side of this,

1138
00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,080
Speaker 2: but we are going to take a break. We're gonna

1139
00:53:06,080 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 2: talk defense on the other side. So you're listening to

1140

1146
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:34,960
Speaker 2: one wants to hear me sing I promise you.

1147
00:53:35,480 --> 00:53:36,520
Speaker 3: I mean I kind of do now.

1148
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:41,759

00:53:44,280 --> 00:53:44,839
Speaker 2: I love this song.

1151
00:53:44,920 --> 00:53:45,560

1164
00:54:23,200 --> 00:54:27,360
Speaker 2: two thousands, where I would potentially see hear Sierra Goodies.

1165
00:54:27,840 --> 00:54:31,720
Speaker 2: You know, as I'm switching stations. We're growing full nostalgia here.

1166
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:34,279
Speaker 3: Guys, and a lot of full circles, A lot of

1167
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:34,960
Speaker 3: full circles.

1168
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, callbacks, full circles. I mean, this is why you

1169
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,799
Speaker 2: listen to Fox Football Saturdays, because we're going to give

1170
00:54:40,840 --> 00:54:44,600
Speaker 2: you something of everything, quite honestly, and in that spirit

1171
00:54:45,239 --> 00:54:47,480
Speaker 2: I feel like so much and through no fault of

1172
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 2: our own. It's you know, offense in football is a

1173
00:54:50,239 --> 00:54:52,960
Speaker 2: sexy part of it, right, It's whatever wants to talk about.

1174
00:54:53,360 --> 00:54:55,439
Speaker 2: It is the most accessible part of the game because

1175
00:54:55,480 --> 00:54:58,120
Speaker 2: you can see it very tangibly. You can see a

1176
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:00,520
Speaker 2: big play down the field, score six points in the

1177
00:55:00,600 --> 00:55:04,520
Speaker 2: end zone, fantastic kicked the extra point, but up seven nothing. However,

1178
00:55:05,840 --> 00:55:07,880
Speaker 2: as someone who grew up in Chicago and grew up

1179
00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:10,719
Speaker 2: a massive bear Saan, I didn't have a whole lot

1180
00:55:10,760 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 2: of that to watch growing up, so I got real

1181
00:55:14,239 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 2: into defense. I'm a very defense girl. As much as

1182
00:55:16,480 --> 00:55:18,160
Speaker 2: I love the offensive line and I advocate for the

1183
00:55:18,160 --> 00:55:20,840
Speaker 2: offensive lineman, I'm really a defensive girl at heart. And

1184
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:22,479
Speaker 2: I thought like, if I ever played football, I would

1185
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:24,920
Speaker 2: have been I would have wanted to be a middle linebacker,

1186
00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:27,839
Speaker 2: not because of Brian or Lacker, but in fact because

1187
00:55:27,840 --> 00:55:28,520
Speaker 2: of Lance Briggs.

1188
00:55:28,520 --> 00:55:30,719
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, but the image of that is really so

1189
00:55:30,760 --> 00:55:34,680
Speaker 4: spectacular that someone somewhere needs to like make an AI

1190
00:55:34,840 --> 00:55:35,640
Speaker 4: version of you as a bill.

1191
00:55:35,760 --> 00:55:38,080
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, they don't. Don't put that in their heads. Tracy,

1192
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:39,319
Speaker 2: what are we doing so good?

1193
00:55:39,360 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 4: I'd love to see you what a bear's uniform. I'm like,

1194
00:55:41,800 --> 00:55:44,640
Speaker 4: out there ready to go, but take down the quarterback?

1195
00:55:44,880 --> 00:55:47,200
Speaker 2: Good good lord. I actually I got to live out

1196
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:49,319
Speaker 2: my dreams one practice and when I was working for

1197
00:55:49,320 --> 00:55:51,200
Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I was there for six years

1198
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:53,480
Speaker 2: and I got very very close to the coaching staff

1199
00:55:53,480 --> 00:55:56,359
Speaker 2: and it was really awesome, so close in fact, that

1200
00:55:56,480 --> 00:55:58,759
Speaker 2: one time they were a little short handed on assistance

1201
00:55:58,840 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 2: and I got to come in and act as a

1202
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,600
Speaker 2: blitzing linebacker to our offensive line as they were walking

1203
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:08,840
Speaker 2: through some things, and I like, I had a fire

1204
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:10,879
Speaker 2: in my eyes. And one of our offensive linemen looked

1205
00:56:10,880 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: at me and he was just like, calm half speed.

1206
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna hurt you. Like You're not gonna come

1207
00:56:15,880 --> 00:56:18,520
Speaker 2: full speed at me in pads. But I see it

1208
00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:20,360
Speaker 2: in your eyes. And I was like, I was like, okay,

1209
00:56:20,400 --> 00:56:22,600
Speaker 2: all right, I'm just gonna calm down. But I got

1210
00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:24,640
Speaker 2: to live up my dream of being being a linebacker,

1211
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:26,400
Speaker 2: if only for a very brief moment.

1212
00:56:26,960 --> 00:56:28,839
Speaker 3: Anyway, not everyone can say that.

1213
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 2: It was so much fun, but that's not That's neither

1214
00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,080
Speaker 2: here nor there, because we are going to talk about defenses,

1215
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:36,560
Speaker 2: and specifically I want to talk about defenses that could

1216
00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 2: determine their team's season and allow me to go first. Please,

1217
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:48,239
Speaker 2: my biggest answer to this is Green Bay m hm,

1218
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,000
Speaker 2: and hear me out. This has always been the story

1219
00:56:51,080 --> 00:56:54,040
Speaker 2: with Green Bay. I think with Jordan Love because okay,

1220
00:56:54,719 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: Jordan Love, I think is a phenomenal talent. I have

1221
00:56:57,200 --> 00:57:00,560
Speaker 2: been higher on him than most. I believed in him immediately.

1222
00:57:00,840 --> 00:57:04,000
Speaker 2: I you know, I'm like, there's no way that you

1223
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,040
Speaker 2: know the Green Bay I've grown up in Chicago. Green

1224
00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:08,480
Speaker 2: Bay always had the franchise quarterback. They went from one

1225
00:57:08,800 --> 00:57:10,520
Speaker 2: to the next, So of course they were going to

1226
00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:12,560
Speaker 2: go to a third, especially after he had three years

1227
00:57:12,560 --> 00:57:15,120
Speaker 2: on the bench to just sit and watch and learn

1228
00:57:15,160 --> 00:57:17,040
Speaker 2: from whatever you think about the guy, one of the

1229
00:57:17,040 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 2: best quarterbacks to ever play the game in Aaron Rodgers

1230
00:57:20,040 --> 00:57:22,360
Speaker 2: like this, this was gonna work. This was always gonna work.

1231
00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:24,920
Speaker 2: And I truly believe that. Last year Jordan Love had

1232
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:27,000
Speaker 2: quite a few injuries in and out of the lineup,

1233
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:29,520
Speaker 2: his receivers. They just never got into a groove because

1234
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:32,840
Speaker 2: they were hurt and in like a constant rotation. But

1235
00:57:34,040 --> 00:57:38,320
Speaker 2: this year, Jordan Love, I mean, he was got hurt

1236
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:40,440
Speaker 2: this week in practice with his left thumb. He's dealing

1237
00:57:40,480 --> 00:57:41,959
Speaker 2: with the left thumb injury, but he is gonna play.

1238
00:57:42,680 --> 00:57:45,880
Speaker 2: He's relatively healthy, as healthy as any football player is.

1239
00:57:46,480 --> 00:57:49,640
Speaker 2: And the way that Jordan Love plays the game is

1240
00:57:49,720 --> 00:57:54,160
Speaker 2: with absolute reckless abandon Like this guy is not risk averse.

1241
00:57:54,400 --> 00:57:58,480
Speaker 2: He does not care. He trusts himself implicitly, almost to

1242
00:57:58,520 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: his detriment. Like he's got a little bit of Brett

1243
00:58:00,560 --> 00:58:03,560
Speaker 2: farv in there where he will just chuck that ball

1244
00:58:03,640 --> 00:58:07,480
Speaker 2: into the tightest of windows because he wholehearted believes it's

1245
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 2: gonna work. And sometimes it doesn't. But when you have

1246
00:58:10,800 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 2: a defense that can mitigate any of the damage that

1247
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,920
Speaker 2: any of those plays do, like say he does throw

1248
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,920
Speaker 2: an interception or he does fumble the ball because he's

1249
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: trying to make something happen with in the pocket, you

1250
00:58:22,440 --> 00:58:26,280
Speaker 2: have a defense that you can rely on to stifle

1251
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,360
Speaker 2: the other team, to not let them capitalize on that

1252
00:58:28,440 --> 00:58:31,120
Speaker 2: to still limit the amount of points. And now that

1253
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:35,520
Speaker 2: you have Micah Parsons, that defense is so complete top

1254
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:38,800
Speaker 2: to bottom or like or top to the to the back.

1255
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:41,840
Speaker 2: I mean you have Xavier McKinney holding it down. You

1256
00:58:41,920 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 2: have a couple of really fun young defensive backs too.

1257
00:58:45,480 --> 00:58:47,280
Speaker 2: When you have you have Davon Bullard, Evan Williams. I

1258
00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:50,320
Speaker 2: like those guys a lot. You have Ezrin Cooper, who

1259
00:58:50,400 --> 00:58:52,480
Speaker 2: is like this little Swiss army knife in Jeff Hafley's

1260
00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:55,520
Speaker 2: defense and in his second year, by the way, and

1261
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:57,840
Speaker 2: then you add Micah Parsons to this with Rashan Gary

1262
00:58:57,920 --> 00:59:01,200
Speaker 2: Lucas van Ness who look rejuvenated, Davante Wyatt in the

1263
00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:05,280
Speaker 2: middle of there. I mean, this is a solid, solid defense,

1264
00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:07,440
Speaker 2: and when you have the trust that you're able to

1265
00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 2: have in this defense, Jordan Love can play his game

1266
00:59:10,720 --> 00:59:13,240
Speaker 2: however he wants to. Jordan Love can take all the

1267
00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 2: risks he wants to. And that is how and that

1268
00:59:17,840 --> 00:59:20,120
Speaker 2: becomes so hard to defend if you are already a

1269
00:59:20,120 --> 00:59:22,800
Speaker 2: team going as a Green Bay Packer. So the Green

1270
00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:27,600
Speaker 2: Bay Packers defense, how good they are, will determine what

1271
00:59:27,640 --> 00:59:28,880
Speaker 2: they're ceiling is this season.

1272
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:31,800
Speaker 4: Well, and you know, after the Micah Parsons trade, I

1273
00:59:31,840 --> 00:59:34,040
Speaker 4: think many of us all of a sudden felt like, okay,

1274
00:59:34,040 --> 00:59:36,760
Speaker 4: well the Packers and could go to the super Bowl

1275
00:59:36,840 --> 00:59:39,360
Speaker 4: and not into one of those like flippant, oh well

1276
00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,200
Speaker 4: now they're going to the super Bowl. Ways, but for

1277
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,280
Speaker 4: exactly what you just said, that defense was already so

1278
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,280
Speaker 4: good you put in Micah Parsons. He's a true game

1279
00:59:47,400 --> 00:59:49,680
Speaker 4: changer in the way a quarterback could be, in their

1280
00:59:49,680 --> 00:59:51,840
Speaker 4: way an offensive player could be. There aren't a ton

1281
00:59:51,880 --> 00:59:54,200
Speaker 4: of defensive players like that, and he is one of

1282
00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:57,360
Speaker 4: those guys. So I could not agree with you more

1283
00:59:57,400 --> 00:59:59,360
Speaker 4: on this because, as you said, and you brought up

1284
00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:01,880
Speaker 4: such a good point, Jordan Love can take all the

1285
01:00:01,960 --> 01:00:05,040
Speaker 4: risks because there is the safety net of knowing that

1286
01:00:05,080 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 4: the defense can minimize the risk of those risks. If

1287
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:11,720
Speaker 4: that made sense. So I could not agree with you more.

1288
01:00:11,760 --> 01:00:14,680
Speaker 4: And I'm those Packers are scary. I think that is

1289
01:00:14,920 --> 01:00:17,480
Speaker 4: a really, really good football team. And I put I

1290
01:00:17,480 --> 01:00:18,760
Speaker 4: think in front of that as if I'm the only

1291
01:00:18,800 --> 01:00:21,439
Speaker 4: one that thinks up. But they are such a good

1292
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:23,720
Speaker 4: football team they are forced to be reckoned with. And

1293
01:00:23,760 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 4: I know people have made jokes, Oh, they're set up

1294
01:00:25,880 --> 01:00:28,040
Speaker 4: to lose to the four nin ers and the NFTY championship game.

1295
01:00:28,280 --> 01:00:31,440
Speaker 4: Not this Packers team. This is different and it's the defense.

1296
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:32,520
Speaker 3: And really, Micah.

1297
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:33,919
Speaker 2: Parsons, I really believe that too.

1298
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,640
Speaker 4: All right, you got I got one that's kind of

1299
01:00:36,640 --> 01:00:38,840
Speaker 4: interesting that I've been watching a little bit these first.

1300
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 3: Couple of weeks, and that's the Falcons.

1301
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,200
Speaker 4: Ooh, I think I think the Falcons have a really

1302
01:00:44,200 --> 01:00:46,800
Speaker 4: good defense. I think that they have obviously some good

1303
01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:48,240
Speaker 4: offensive weapons there.

1304
01:00:48,040 --> 01:00:49,600
Speaker 3: But they need to be a complete team.

1305
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:51,560
Speaker 4: And I think that their defense, at least in these

1306
01:00:51,560 --> 01:00:54,400
Speaker 4: first two weeks, And as we discussed earlier, hard to

1307
01:00:54,440 --> 01:00:56,320
Speaker 4: tell after two weeks, but in these first two weeks

1308
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:59,240
Speaker 4: we've seen them play really well. They've limited big plays.

1309
01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,200
Speaker 4: We've seen the offense play well. I think the Falcons

1310
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:05,120
Speaker 4: should their defense stay strong. I think the Falcons are

1311
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:07,800
Speaker 4: like a sneaky maybe it's just a ViBe's pick, but

1312
01:01:07,880 --> 01:01:12,200
Speaker 4: sneaky pick in the NFC South that they could definitely

1313
01:01:12,320 --> 01:01:14,720
Speaker 4: challenge the Buccaneers. There's my hot and maybe it's a

1314
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:16,600
Speaker 4: hot take, but I don't like what I'm.

1315
01:01:16,480 --> 01:01:18,320
Speaker 2: Saying what try say. The issue is it's not a

1316
01:01:18,360 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 2: hot take, and I do not appreciate that as someone

1317
01:01:20,520 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 2: who I just talked about working six years in Tampa.

1318
01:01:23,680 --> 01:01:26,439
Speaker 2: Because the Bucks have won their division for the last

1319
01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 2: four years, They've been to the playoffs the last five years,

1320
01:01:29,080 --> 01:01:30,800
Speaker 2: I'm like, why what is it going to take for

1321
01:01:30,880 --> 01:01:32,680
Speaker 2: us to trust the Buccaneers that they can pull this

1322
01:01:32,720 --> 01:01:35,720
Speaker 2: out even if it doesn't look good. And I mean,

1323
01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 2: I agree with you though, is that I do think

1324
01:01:37,920 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 2: that this Atlanta defense is for real. I do think

1325
01:01:40,440 --> 01:01:43,440
Speaker 2: that that is going to determine their season. Again, allows

1326
01:01:43,440 --> 01:01:46,240
Speaker 2: Michael Pennix, you know, a longer leash or a longer

1327
01:01:46,360 --> 01:01:51,520
Speaker 2: learning curve as he gets going. I completely agree with that. However,

1328
01:01:52,800 --> 01:01:54,160
Speaker 2: why don't we trust the Bucks?

1329
01:01:54,320 --> 01:01:56,560
Speaker 3: So for me, it's not about not trusting the Bucks.

1330
01:01:56,840 --> 01:02:00,479
Speaker 4: It's more about thinking the Falcons are better than meets

1331
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:00,800
Speaker 4: the eye.

1332
01:02:00,840 --> 01:02:01,080
Speaker 2: I get.

1333
01:02:01,120 --> 01:02:02,920
Speaker 4: I mean that's that's more about that. It's less it's

1334
01:02:02,920 --> 01:02:04,600
Speaker 4: really for me, not about the Bucks. It's about the

1335
01:02:04,600 --> 01:02:07,240
Speaker 4: Falcons because I think probably the Bucks will win the division.

1336
01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:12,280
Speaker 4: I just think the Falcons are sneaky team to challenge them.

1337
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,120
Speaker 2: I'm just tired of people. And I'm not saying you,

1338
01:02:14,560 --> 01:02:16,520
Speaker 2: but I'm just tired of people. Not No, people don't

1339
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,919
Speaker 2: want to look at the Buccaneers.

1340
01:02:17,800 --> 01:02:20,680
Speaker 4: They don't want to like Baker Mayfield, they don't want

1341
01:02:20,680 --> 01:02:21,280
Speaker 4: to like the Bucks.

1342
01:02:21,320 --> 01:02:23,240
Speaker 3: I don't I don't understand that. I really don't.

1343
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:26,760
Speaker 4: So we can obviously disagree in time we want. But

1344
01:02:26,760 --> 01:02:28,960
Speaker 4: in this case, it's really it's more about the Falcons

1345
01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:31,240
Speaker 4: than the Bucks. I guess is I'm saying that people

1346
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,439
Speaker 4: do have a weird thing about the Bucks.

1347
01:02:32,440 --> 01:02:33,200
Speaker 3: I don't know why.

1348
01:02:33,360 --> 01:02:35,320
Speaker 2: I really, I really got what you're saying. And yes,

1349
01:02:35,400 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: but like it is, It's just it's one of those

1350
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 2: things where I'm shouting at the top of my lungs

1351
01:02:38,920 --> 01:02:41,360
Speaker 2: like this, this team, it doesn't always look pretty, but

1352
01:02:41,400 --> 01:02:44,400
Speaker 2: they always make it happen. And they they also had

1353
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:46,479
Speaker 2: a catastrophic injury to deal with this week with college,

1354
01:02:46,480 --> 01:02:48,200
Speaker 2: I cancy going down and I'm very upset about that,

1355
01:02:48,480 --> 01:02:49,920
Speaker 2: but we don't have to talk about it. What we

1356
01:02:49,960 --> 01:02:52,000
Speaker 2: do have to do is get to get to Martin

1357
01:02:52,040 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 2: Weiss for another update.

1358
01:02:53,240 --> 01:02:58,320
Speaker 8: Break start in the NFL real quick, Xavier Worthy downgraded

1359
01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:01,440
Speaker 8: to out for WOO three despite he did practice with

1360
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,600
Speaker 8: no restrictions on Wednesday, but not going to be able

1361
01:03:04,680 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 8: to go. So that's bad news for Kansas City, but

1362
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:09,000
Speaker 8: hopefully they'll get there.

1363
01:03:09,080 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 2: That a rookie wide.

1364
01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 8: Receiver making his NFL debut Jalen Royals.

1365
01:03:13,600 --> 01:03:17,520
Speaker 2: But uh yeah, so zay be Worthy not averaging nineteen

1366
01:03:17,560 --> 01:03:20,120
Speaker 2: points a game. By the way, that that Kansas City offense.

1367
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:25,680
Speaker 8: Which robust yikes, a minute and thirty seconds left in

1368
01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:29,240
Speaker 8: Syracuse is Clemson in Syracuse and Clemson and really a

1369
01:03:29,240 --> 01:03:32,080
Speaker 8: minute thirty seconds left in Clemson's playoff hopes as a

1370
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:37,080
Speaker 8: trail thirteen right now thirty four to twenty one. Well,

1371
01:03:37,080 --> 01:03:40,080
Speaker 8: Syracuse has the ball and let's see, Clemson has no

1372
01:03:40,240 --> 01:03:42,360
Speaker 8: timeouts again, so yeah, they would have to punt and

1373
01:03:42,400 --> 01:03:44,760
Speaker 8: get the ball back. But it would take a miracle

1374
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:46,440
Speaker 8: for Clemson to come back and win this game, and

1375
01:03:46,480 --> 01:03:49,919
Speaker 8: they'll fall to h and two in the ACC one

1376
01:03:49,960 --> 01:03:53,920
Speaker 8: and three overall. Oregon with a thirty one point lead

1377
01:03:53,960 --> 01:03:57,080
Speaker 8: over Oregon State in the fourth quarter. Florida State has

1378
01:03:57,160 --> 01:03:59,960
Speaker 8: just been mollywopping people there have thirty five to say

1379
01:04:00,280 --> 01:04:02,280
Speaker 8: lead over. Can't state that game's in a rain delay

1380
01:04:02,560 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 8: at the half. Auburn and Oklahoma the eleventh three Sooners

1381
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,560
Speaker 8: have the twenty second rank. Tigers tied at Norman and

1382
01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,720
Speaker 8: see two lane with the ball betrailing twenty to twenty

1383
01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,840
Speaker 8: three to three nearing the start of the third quarter.

1384
01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:16,720
Speaker 2: There, I'm sorry.

1385
01:04:16,760 --> 01:04:19,520
Speaker 8: Just after the start of the third quarter there, Michigan

1386
01:04:19,560 --> 01:04:23,680
Speaker 8: and Nebraska ended in a ridiculous stretch to go or

1387
01:04:23,800 --> 01:04:26,040
Speaker 8: Justice Hanying's like a seventy five yard touchdown run with

1388
01:04:26,080 --> 01:04:29,480
Speaker 8: like a minute left, and then Dylan Rayola threw a

1389
01:04:29,920 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 8: hail mary with one second left, So two touchdowns scored

1390
01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,200
Speaker 8: in the last minute of the first half. It's twelve

1391
01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,280
Speaker 8: to thirty four left in the third quarter. Now Nebraska

1392
01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:42,680
Speaker 8: just received a punt, but it's down at their own

1393
01:04:42,760 --> 01:04:45,440
Speaker 8: three yard line. Notre Dame has a twenty eight to

1394
01:04:45,480 --> 01:04:48,360
Speaker 8: thirteen lead over Purdue, but that game's in a rain delay.

1395
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:52,640
Speaker 8: Bill belichicks hopefully does some halftime adjustments in his back pocket,

1396
01:04:52,680 --> 01:04:56,160
Speaker 8: because right now it is on Fox twenty to three

1397
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:03,800
Speaker 8: UCF against the North Carolina tar Yi whoops back to

1398
01:05:03,840 --> 01:05:04,280
Speaker 8: you guys.

1399
01:05:05,160 --> 01:05:08,120
Speaker 2: Well and unlike that, this isn't just a game, It's

1400
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 2: a once in a life. It oncen't a generation event.

1406
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:30,960
Speaker 2: going to be a great game this weekend Detroit Baltimore,

1407
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:35,040
Speaker 2: and we have Rachel Hotmeyer of CBS Detroit to talk

1408
01:05:35,080 --> 01:05:37,960
Speaker 2: to us all about it. Rachel, how are you?

1409
01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:38,520
Speaker 1: You're right?

1410
01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,040
Speaker 9: I'm here, I'm excited. I'm putting on my makeup for

1411
01:05:41,080 --> 01:05:45,600
Speaker 9: our six o'clock show after that New Britshard Michigan Nebraska game.

1412
01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:48,520
Speaker 9: We've got so much going on here, but obviously the

1413
01:05:48,560 --> 01:05:50,640
Speaker 9: biggest deal is to come on Monday.

1414
01:05:51,160 --> 01:05:56,080
Speaker 2: All right, So Ravens missing some key starters here for

1415
01:05:56,120 --> 01:06:00,480
Speaker 2: this game. The Lions look relatively all. I know, Mike

1416
01:06:00,480 --> 01:06:02,960
Speaker 2: Marcus Davenport's out, there's a couple guys that are questionable.

1417
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,760
Speaker 2: But if I know anything about that team, it's that

1418
01:06:04,840 --> 01:06:07,760
Speaker 2: questionable means they're playing like nobody. Actually, you know, there's

1419
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:10,840
Speaker 2: there's out and there's in and then that's it. What

1420
01:06:10,880 --> 01:06:13,920
Speaker 2: do you what's going to be the key to capitalizing

1421
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,680
Speaker 2: on on who Baltimore is missing and for Detroit to

1422
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 2: come out with a win, it.

1423
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 9: Has to be protecting Jared's pocket Again this week, the

1424
01:06:21,040 --> 01:06:23,920
Speaker 9: O line did a much better job at Ford Field.

1425
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:27,600
Speaker 9: In week two. You saw rat Ledge and Mahogany much

1426
01:06:27,600 --> 01:06:31,320
Speaker 9: better with communication to their tackled and centers next to them.

1427
01:06:31,360 --> 01:06:33,120
Speaker 9: But it really is going to come down to you

1428
01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 9: got to give Jared the space to do his thing

1429
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:38,200
Speaker 9: because if he isn't a tool, then how are you

1430
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:41,840
Speaker 9: going to compete against Lamar Jackson? And we know the

1431
01:06:41,840 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 9: bank is going to be loud as anything Monday night.

1432
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:47,919
Speaker 9: I mean, when it comes to the lack of Kyle

1433
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,840
Speaker 9: van Ney, that could be an advantage for the lines.

1434
01:06:50,880 --> 01:06:54,160
Speaker 9: When you talk about that line's injury report today, Davenport

1435
01:06:54,320 --> 01:06:56,640
Speaker 9: is obviously out, so we saw him in a sling

1436
01:06:56,840 --> 01:06:59,760
Speaker 9: in the locker room yesterday. To me, that sounds like

1437
01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,560
Speaker 9: a or longer term injury. But the Lions aren't speaking

1438
01:07:02,600 --> 01:07:05,320
Speaker 9: to that at this time. But all those questionable guys

1439
01:07:05,400 --> 01:07:08,200
Speaker 9: Dan Campbell seemed to infer today that they will be

1440
01:07:08,240 --> 01:07:12,720
Speaker 9: playing faky NAASKI. They need all the linebacker depth they

1441
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:14,960
Speaker 9: can get so nobody freezes up on that field.

1442
01:07:16,520 --> 01:07:19,080
Speaker 4: When you look at the offensive line play between weeks

1443
01:07:19,080 --> 01:07:21,680
Speaker 4: one and week two, and I, Carmen, forgive me, it's

1444
01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:23,760
Speaker 4: not I don't think it was just the Bears in

1445
01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:26,720
Speaker 4: week two. What did they do to do a better

1446
01:07:26,800 --> 01:07:28,880
Speaker 4: job protecting Jared got because as you said earlier, that

1447
01:07:28,920 --> 01:07:31,919
Speaker 4: really is a key here. What adjustments did they make

1448
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:33,760
Speaker 4: to see so much improvement in that week.

1449
01:07:34,360 --> 01:07:36,400
Speaker 9: I'm glad you asked on that, Tracy, because I did

1450
01:07:36,600 --> 01:07:38,840
Speaker 9: you know a big story on that and talking to

1451
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:42,000
Speaker 9: guys along the line from Jared all the way down

1452
01:07:42,080 --> 01:07:44,720
Speaker 9: to what is needed for you guys to feel comfortable

1453
01:07:44,720 --> 01:07:46,680
Speaker 9: in this setting because none of the three of us

1454
01:07:46,760 --> 01:07:49,520
Speaker 9: are ever tuning up on the line of scrimmage anytime.

1455
01:07:49,880 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 9: The last time I did what you know, like right,

1456
01:07:56,080 --> 01:07:58,320
Speaker 9: we can roll my powder pup high life.

1457
01:07:58,400 --> 01:07:58,919
Speaker 2: That's fine.

1458
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:01,360
Speaker 9: I broke the girls, not once, not a big deal,

1459
01:08:01,640 --> 01:08:04,880
Speaker 9: but when it comes to this aline and the operation

1460
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:09,120
Speaker 9: they're running. I talked a lot, especially to Christian Mahogany

1461
01:08:09,160 --> 01:08:11,840
Speaker 9: out of BC, who isn't technically a rookie this year,

1462
01:08:11,880 --> 01:08:14,000
Speaker 9: but he only got two starts last year, so for

1463
01:08:14,080 --> 01:08:16,120
Speaker 9: all intents and purposes, he is. And then of course

1464
01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:19,080
Speaker 9: Tate ratliche this year's draft pick, who played at ole

1465
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:21,040
Speaker 9: Miss and just sitting down with him, I said, you

1466
01:08:21,040 --> 01:08:24,280
Speaker 9: know you're used to SEC play. Was it really that

1467
01:08:24,479 --> 01:08:27,080
Speaker 9: loud that you guys couldn't hear each other at Lambeau?

1468
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:28,840
Speaker 9: And he was like, Rachel, it was as loud as

1469
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:32,400
Speaker 9: Nayland Stadium, which is a difference of twenty thousand fans.

1470
01:08:32,720 --> 01:08:35,320
Speaker 9: So those are things you can't control in the NFL,

1471
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 9: even the best O line. If your ears cannot hear,

1472
01:08:38,720 --> 01:08:43,879
Speaker 9: that is an uncontrollable, uncontrollable variable. So John Morton adjusted

1473
01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:46,360
Speaker 9: their playbooks straight up. He adjusted some of the kills

1474
01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:50,680
Speaker 9: that require too much communication when you're in anime territory

1475
01:08:50,720 --> 01:08:53,040
Speaker 9: like that, and just wants to make things a lot

1476
01:08:53,080 --> 01:08:56,200
Speaker 9: more simple. It also comes down to having the confidence

1477
01:08:56,240 --> 01:08:59,320
Speaker 9: in each other and knowing, not second guessing but making

1478
01:08:59,320 --> 01:09:01,320
Speaker 9: sure I don't care you have to say it five times,

1479
01:09:01,360 --> 01:09:04,519
Speaker 9: going the extra mile to make sure that everything is

1480
01:09:04,600 --> 01:09:07,519
Speaker 9: executed well. Taylor Decker is also a big factor and

1481
01:09:07,560 --> 01:09:11,400
Speaker 9: a veteran presence in these situations, so having him and

1482
01:09:11,439 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 9: giving him the recine needs during the week to be

1483
01:09:13,280 --> 01:09:16,200
Speaker 9: totally locked in on Sundays as he deals with long term.

1484
01:09:16,439 --> 01:09:20,559
Speaker 9: But you know, I don't want to say injury per se,

1485
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,600
Speaker 9: but just the breaking body of a veteran, just relying

1486
01:09:25,880 --> 01:09:28,800
Speaker 9: on everybody and knowing that everybody has to be bought

1487
01:09:28,800 --> 01:09:30,519
Speaker 9: into this success is a huge.

1488
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,320
Speaker 2: Part of it. Yeah, and that goes not only offensively,

1489
01:09:33,560 --> 01:09:35,400
Speaker 2: and far be it from me to take anything away

1490
01:09:35,400 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 2: from the offensive line. But I do want to talk

1491
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:39,000
Speaker 2: about the defense here because I want to talk about

1492
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:43,120
Speaker 2: what territory I know, but I want to talk more

1493
01:09:43,160 --> 01:09:46,000
Speaker 2: about what you've seen so far this season that has

1494
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:49,200
Speaker 2: been different under Calvin Shepherd than it was under Aaron

1495
01:09:49,200 --> 01:09:53,160
Speaker 2: Glenn two wildly different men, by the way, Aaron Glenn

1496
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:55,839
Speaker 2: much more of the strong, silent type Calvin Shepherd anything.

1497
01:09:55,880 --> 01:09:58,320
Speaker 2: But so, what have you seen kind of in the

1498
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:01,439
Speaker 2: differences in this defense, whether it be SAP or whether

1499
01:10:01,479 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 2: it just be that hey eight, Hutchinson's back on the field.

1500
01:10:05,120 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 9: Yeah, I think it's interesting because philosophically speaking and scheme wise,

1501
01:10:10,200 --> 01:10:11,960
Speaker 9: I don't know that you're going to be able to

1502
01:10:12,000 --> 01:10:15,200
Speaker 9: pick out that much of a difference so far between

1503
01:10:15,280 --> 01:10:18,080
Speaker 9: what Glenn implemented and what Shep is doing. But it's

1504
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:22,160
Speaker 9: definitely a different way to talk about it and approach it.

1505
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,320
Speaker 9: When you talk to Calvin Shepherd, he's just a fiary

1506
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:26,960
Speaker 9: on the field as he is when he takes the

1507
01:10:27,040 --> 01:10:29,320
Speaker 9: lectern with us in the middle of the week. He

1508
01:10:29,479 --> 01:10:33,840
Speaker 9: was very quick to defend Kirby Joseph and say Kirby

1509
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 9: Joseph followed the scheme as instructed and crippled down on

1510
01:10:37,320 --> 01:10:40,320
Speaker 9: that when we followed up on certain places. Is it

1511
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,559
Speaker 9: scary yes? Could it be in a WWE hype video yet?

1512
01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:47,120
Speaker 9: But he's standing ten toes down on when guys are

1513
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:49,599
Speaker 9: doing things right and when guys are doing things wrong.

1514
01:10:49,640 --> 01:10:51,639
Speaker 9: He was also very quick to say Terry On Arnold

1515
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:54,240
Speaker 9: needs to learn from this mistake he made against Ricky

1516
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,559
Speaker 9: Piersoll seven months ago and shouldn't be making now Like

1517
01:10:57,920 --> 01:10:59,720
Speaker 9: the man is putting it all out there and we've

1518
01:10:59,720 --> 01:11:03,479
Speaker 9: seen coaches use the media to speak to their players

1519
01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:06,479
Speaker 9: in different ways. I experienced that a lot when I

1520
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:08,519
Speaker 9: was in Green Bay, and even the way Aaron Rodgers

1521
01:11:08,560 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 9: would use the media.

1522
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:11,080
Speaker 2: To speak to his teammates.

1523
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:16,000
Speaker 9: So right, right, I appreciate the authenticity that Shep is

1524
01:11:16,040 --> 01:11:19,080
Speaker 9: bringing with us into the room. But something he talked

1525
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,800
Speaker 9: about this week, I think will will illustrate better why

1526
01:11:21,840 --> 01:11:24,160
Speaker 9: I don't think there's that much of a schematic difference

1527
01:11:24,200 --> 01:11:27,760
Speaker 9: between the two. He said one of the biggest lessons

1528
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 9: that Aaron Glenn taught Shep when he was coming up

1529
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,240
Speaker 9: through the ranks, and you know Shep's experience as a

1530
01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:37,000
Speaker 9: player in this league, if he said, the identity of

1531
01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:41,200
Speaker 9: your defense can be seen in how your outer dbs,

1532
01:11:41,240 --> 01:11:45,000
Speaker 9: your secondary, your safeties in your corners are defending the

1533
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:47,879
Speaker 9: run games are getting in there and getting physical and tackling.

1534
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,439
Speaker 9: And Shep was like, what are you talking about? My

1535
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:52,839
Speaker 9: linebackers are supposed to make to be making these tackles.

1536
01:11:53,040 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 9: But it's true, it's how are they getting involved? Is

1537
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,840
Speaker 9: it a reactionary thing or are they prepared or are

1538
01:11:59,840 --> 01:12:04,040
Speaker 9: they volunteering and stepping up and making sure that is

1539
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 9: the end of the wall. And when I talked to

1540
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:08,880
Speaker 9: Terry on about that this week he said, that's nothing

1541
01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,920
Speaker 9: new for me because we were doing that at Alabama.

1542
01:12:11,960 --> 01:12:15,960
Speaker 9: But I do believe it's a core identity pillar. And

1543
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:18,519
Speaker 9: you talk to other guys like Brian Branch and Kirby

1544
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:20,479
Speaker 9: and a Meek, and they're very used to moving all

1545
01:12:20,520 --> 01:12:24,360
Speaker 9: over But to be able to be preaching that philosophically

1546
01:12:24,439 --> 01:12:27,080
Speaker 9: from the get go certainly makes the run defense a

1547
01:12:27,080 --> 01:12:27,879
Speaker 9: bigger priority.

1548
01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 4: The Michigan alum has to ask about Aiden Hutchinson and

1549
01:12:31,720 --> 01:12:34,400
Speaker 4: I know, Carmen you mentioned it, but what is the difference.

1550
01:12:34,439 --> 01:12:36,479
Speaker 4: Obviously there's the talent and all of that, but what

1551
01:12:36,520 --> 01:12:39,240
Speaker 4: does he bring to the field that the intangibles that

1552
01:12:39,840 --> 01:12:43,719
Speaker 4: just even from a vibe perspective in the locker room.

1553
01:12:43,600 --> 01:12:47,200
Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean, I think he is confident and feeling

1554
01:12:47,240 --> 01:12:50,160
Speaker 9: at home as he should. This is all he's known.

1555
01:12:50,320 --> 01:12:52,240
Speaker 9: He is not far from his family, who are a

1556
01:12:52,280 --> 01:12:55,639
Speaker 9: big part of his life. He is a growing leader,

1557
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:57,799
Speaker 9: but he's also become a lot more of a public

1558
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,759
Speaker 9: facing figurehead for the Lions. He was on Jimmy Fallon.

1559
01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:03,640
Speaker 9: He's doing a lot in the community. He's having his

1560
01:13:03,800 --> 01:13:06,439
Speaker 9: merch brand along with the Lion. So I think for

1561
01:13:06,560 --> 01:13:08,639
Speaker 9: him it's really just he's happening to be back doing

1562
01:13:08,680 --> 01:13:10,320
Speaker 9: what he's supposed to be doing instead of sitting on

1563
01:13:10,320 --> 01:13:10,679
Speaker 9: the couch.

1564
01:13:10,880 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 4: He's playing football, unlike us who are not paying So

1565
01:13:13,920 --> 01:13:15,960
Speaker 4: bab was sitting on the couch, sitting in the.

1566
01:13:15,960 --> 01:13:21,960
Speaker 2: Press box to everybody's detriment. Let's be honest, it's true. Okay, Rachel,

1567
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 2: you did something really great for the Lions media room

1568
01:13:24,920 --> 01:13:27,880
Speaker 2: and I just need to tell people about it. Jimmy

1569
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:32,760
Speaker 2: is seafood. You brought in Jimmy's seafood crab cakes and

1570
01:13:32,880 --> 01:13:34,920
Speaker 2: then and how did this come about? Why did you

1571
01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 2: do this?

1572
01:13:35,479 --> 01:13:38,400
Speaker 9: I love it all right. So for context, I call

1573
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:42,679
Speaker 9: myself a long distance charm city gal. My longtime partner

1574
01:13:42,680 --> 01:13:45,920
Speaker 9: and I. He lives in Baltimore still and I love

1575
01:13:45,960 --> 01:13:50,280
Speaker 9: the city. I've really become a giant fan of local

1576
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:52,639
Speaker 9: businesses there. And as someone who grew up in New

1577
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:56,439
Speaker 9: England was raised on a seafood diet, obviously, I'm going

1578
01:13:56,479 --> 01:13:59,000
Speaker 9: to be fond of crab cakes and hard chum rab

1579
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:03,080
Speaker 9: and crab rolls and crab soup and anything.

1580
01:14:02,680 --> 01:14:05,479
Speaker 5: You could do, Toddy makes me delicious.

1581
01:14:05,560 --> 01:14:08,679
Speaker 9: So I've embraced Maryland so much, and over the last

1582
01:14:08,760 --> 01:14:09,720
Speaker 9: eight years.

1583
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:10,559
Speaker 1: You bet your butt.

1584
01:14:10,600 --> 01:14:13,920
Speaker 9: I have taken the time to try any crab cake

1585
01:14:13,960 --> 01:14:16,559
Speaker 9: institution I could get my hands on, and I can

1586
01:14:16,560 --> 01:14:21,439
Speaker 9: confidently say, in my humble opinion, without a doubt, the

1587
01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:26,599
Speaker 9: best largest media's most consistent ones are from Jimmy Seafood.

1588
01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:29,559
Speaker 9: They are in dundalf right outside Baltimore. They do an

1589
01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,960
Speaker 9: incredible job for business operations. They actually have an nil

1590
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:36,280
Speaker 9: program with Maryland athletes and give them meal plans because

1591
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:40,640
Speaker 9: those crab cakes are incredible sorts of clean protein, so

1592
01:14:40,680 --> 01:14:42,840
Speaker 9: I love what they're doing there. They do a lot

1593
01:14:42,880 --> 01:14:45,680
Speaker 9: with the ravens of the community, and they are always

1594
01:14:46,040 --> 01:14:47,960
Speaker 9: a restaurant I have to hit even if I'm home

1595
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 9: in Baltimore for a weekend. Another amazing part of their

1596
01:14:51,200 --> 01:14:55,400
Speaker 9: business is the way they can overnight you anything anything.

1597
01:14:55,880 --> 01:14:58,160
Speaker 2: I really need to take advantage of that more. I

1598
01:14:58,200 --> 01:15:00,320
Speaker 2: love Jimmy Cebird. I've spent quite a bit the time

1599
01:15:00,360 --> 01:15:02,479
Speaker 2: in Baltimore and they're finn able to.

1600
01:15:02,400 --> 01:15:05,840
Speaker 9: Get you a box to Chicago or LA overnight, so

1601
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,559
Speaker 9: it was not a question for me. The best way

1602
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:11,400
Speaker 9: to pregame Monday night football at the Bank is by

1603
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:15,160
Speaker 9: treating my colleagues with some of the finest charm City

1604
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,559
Speaker 9: crab cakes and that way they know exactly where they

1605
01:15:17,560 --> 01:15:19,960
Speaker 9: need to go. I've made sure everybody knows you want

1606
01:15:19,960 --> 01:15:22,280

Speaker 2: and I'm very excited Tracy for our last segment.

1632
01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:49,599
Speaker 3: Yes, it's always fun.

1633
01:16:49,640 --> 01:16:53,200
Speaker 2: The lol moment of the week, because I believe I

1634
01:16:53,240 --> 01:16:55,160
Speaker 2: always need a laugh and I think everybody else needs

1635
01:16:55,160 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 2: a laugh too. So something this week that happened that

1636
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:04,599
Speaker 2: you found funny? I will start us off. This is funny,

1637
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:07,599
Speaker 2: I guess in a like if you're a self loathing

1638
01:17:07,840 --> 01:17:11,840
Speaker 2: fan type of way, and especially in the case of

1639
01:17:11,920 --> 01:17:15,240
Speaker 2: Chase Bandalik, who is a Bears fan and probably the

1640
01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:18,640
Speaker 2: most self loathing and masochistic Bears fan that I have

1641
01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 2: heard of or come across. This man pledged to run

1642
01:17:22,439 --> 01:17:25,759
Speaker 2: one mile for every point the Bears lose by this season.

1643
01:17:25,840 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 5: Oh dear Lord, And do you want to know what

1644
01:17:29,479 --> 01:17:30,679
Speaker 5: happened last week?

1645
01:17:31,320 --> 01:17:36,400
Speaker 2: Oh Lions hung fifty two on the Chicago Bears, and

1646
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:39,920
Speaker 2: the Bears only I mean only they did get some

1647
01:17:39,960 --> 01:17:43,920
Speaker 2: garbage time to Chase's relief, I'm sure, but still only

1648
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:46,719
Speaker 2: scored twenty one points. That is a different lady difference

1649
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,599
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen of thirty one points if I'm doing

1650
01:17:49,640 --> 01:17:54,599
Speaker 2: my math correctly. So this poor guy went out on

1651
01:17:54,640 --> 01:17:56,519
Speaker 2: Sunday and ran thirty one miles.

1652
01:17:57,080 --> 01:17:58,800
Speaker 3: Oh my, did he has to do it each Oh?

1653
01:17:58,840 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 2: Good, Yeah, he doesn't each way. So each week that

1654
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:04,360
Speaker 2: the Bears, whatever the Bears lose by, he runs a mile,

1655
01:18:04,560 --> 01:18:06,040
Speaker 2: and then if they win, he doesn't have to run.

1656
01:18:06,600 --> 01:18:10,320
Speaker 3: Oh god, run right of the season. That's a marathon.

1657
01:18:10,439 --> 01:18:13,599
Speaker 2: He ran a marathon, a marathon that is five miles

1658
01:18:13,600 --> 01:18:16,120
Speaker 2: more than a marathon, that is like ultra marathons. Oh

1659
01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:16,599
Speaker 2: my gosh.

1660
01:18:16,680 --> 01:18:19,360
Speaker 3: That First of all, the Bear should be ashamed of themselves.

1661
01:18:19,400 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 4: I think they should be thinking of this poor guy,

1662
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,559
Speaker 4: and they should be ashamed of themselves for letting this happen.

1663
01:18:24,760 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 4: I hope for his sake that the December timeline is

1664
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:28,000
Speaker 4: a little bit sooner.

1665
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, well, not only that, like you just

1666
01:18:31,240 --> 01:18:33,040
Speaker 2: need the defense to not give up a whole lot

1667
01:18:33,080 --> 01:18:35,080
Speaker 2: of points and now like you're dealing with so many

1668
01:18:35,200 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 2: defensive injuries right now, like t J. Edwards is out,

1669
01:18:38,040 --> 01:18:40,519
Speaker 2: Jalen Johnson is out, Keyler Gordon is out this week,

1670
01:18:41,479 --> 01:18:44,479
Speaker 2: and you're playing the Dallas Cowboys. Who I mean, Dak

1671
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,640
Speaker 2: has a lot more receiving options than he has and

1672
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:50,600
Speaker 2: like that offense, like this poor guy is probably just

1673
01:18:50,680 --> 01:18:53,519
Speaker 2: I mean, what I'm really hoping is that, Yeah, like

1674
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,720
Speaker 2: it goes like this December. The Bears need to win

1675
01:18:56,760 --> 01:18:58,559
Speaker 2: for so many reasons. But like, if you've ever tried

1676
01:18:58,560 --> 01:19:03,719
Speaker 2: to run in sh cargo in December, it's not fun.

1677
01:19:04,080 --> 01:19:06,799
Speaker 2: That the cold air and your lungs, I can't imagine

1678
01:19:06,840 --> 01:19:11,600
Speaker 2: it's good for them. So, uh shout out Chase Chikajubian

1679
01:19:11,640 --> 01:19:14,719
Speaker 2: did a story on him, and uh, yeah, I feel

1680
01:19:14,760 --> 01:19:15,760
Speaker 2: I feel I feel for him.

1681
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 4: I feel for him too. Well mine is not quite

1682
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:20,240
Speaker 4: so self loving loathing, but.

1683
01:19:20,240 --> 01:19:21,439
Speaker 3: It's it's sort of funny.

1684
01:19:21,439 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 4: I'm gonna come off with some sort of falcons stand here,

1685
01:19:23,320 --> 01:19:25,240
Speaker 4: which I'm really not, but I.

1686
01:19:25,200 --> 01:19:27,280
Speaker 3: Did think it was very funny. The kicker Parker.

1687
01:19:27,080 --> 01:19:29,880
Speaker 4: Romo, you know, came in week two. Uh, he kicked

1688
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:31,920
Speaker 4: a whole lot of field goals. Won the game, and

1689
01:19:31,960 --> 01:19:35,880
Speaker 4: then after being interviewed on national television, he met his teammates.

1690
