Jeff Schwartz in the 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 2: house today, and you know, when I found out you 10 00:00:31,920 --> 00:00:35,480 Speaker 2: were gonna do the show today, I said to Scott Shapiro, 11 00:00:35,720 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: who sets the lineup each week, you do understand that 12 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: Oregon football is kicking off during our show. 13 00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:45,159 Speaker 3: You do understand that because. 14 00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:48,320 Speaker 4: It's Stanford though, Buddy, yes, well it better be. Yeah. 15 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:50,840 Speaker 2: Well, I'm sure SI was thinking the same thing about 16 00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:54,040 Speaker 2: Colorado today, but found out otherwise. 17 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:55,560 Speaker 3: You know, before we get to all the games that 18 00:00:55,600 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 3: are going on. 19 00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,480 Speaker 2: Right now, Jeff, we obviously have to talk about It's funny, 20 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,720 Speaker 2: you know. And when the game looked early like it 21 00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:03,680 Speaker 2: was going to be a repeat of what happened to 22 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,920 Speaker 2: Colorado last week against Oregon, you know, I'm looking at 23 00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:09,360 Speaker 2: social media and people are like, you know, can we 24 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:13,560 Speaker 2: finally put the cabash on Colorado, and you know, it's 25 00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,280 Speaker 2: a nice story and everything else with Dion's doing, but 26 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,679 Speaker 2: you know they're not even competitive. And then you look 27 00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:22,680 Speaker 2: at the final score forty eight to forty one, and 28 00:01:22,800 --> 00:01:27,080 Speaker 2: to me, it says a lot more about USC than 29 00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 2: it does about Colorado. Colorado is still in many ways overachieving, 30 00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:35,399 Speaker 2: but any kind of delusion that USC is in the 31 00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 2: conversation to be a playoff team this year is simply 32 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,880 Speaker 2: that delusional with a defense that was going against a 33 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:47,200 Speaker 2: Colorado team that came into this game with the last 34 00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,640 Speaker 2: ranked rushing offense in the country about fifty five yards 35 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,800 Speaker 2: a game, and they almost put up two hundred against USC. 36 00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,120 Speaker 2: So obviously you're watching the Pac twelve a lot of 37 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:00,880 Speaker 2: commotion going on. I think you're duck some Washington and 38 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 2: the class. I think Washington State Oregon State might be 39 00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 2: the next level. I don't see USC in the conversation 40 00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: after what I saw today. 41 00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,239 Speaker 4: So the definition of in Sandy right is doing the 42 00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 4: same thing over and over again expecting a different result. 43 00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 4: And my preview for USC this season, see if it 44 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 4: was very simple we have now. I think it's the 45 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 4: fifth season of six, nineteen fifth season of Alex Scrinch's 46 00:02:28,160 --> 00:02:32,239 Speaker 4: defensive coordinator and Lincoln Riley, the head coach, paired together, right, 47 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,040 Speaker 4: I believe it's five years now together. In those five years, 48 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 4: we have seen this play out over and over and 49 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,080 Speaker 4: over again. The amount of times USC has scored forty 50 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 4: points and lost, as I mean, look at Riley ha 51 00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:48,880 Speaker 4: scored forty points and lost is a record. No one 52 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:53,640 Speaker 4: has done it more. You know it. They routinely continue 53 00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 4: to uh to just have defense that n't perform since 54 00:02:58,480 --> 00:03:01,079 Speaker 4: twenty since Lincoln became a colleg trip book out to 55 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:06,079 Speaker 4: twenty seventeen. The over is hit on like sixty five 56 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,320 Speaker 4: percent of his games, seventy percent of his games. It 57 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:11,400 Speaker 4: just there's a lot of points. And so my handicapped 58 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 4: for the team this year was they're gonna score a 59 00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,680 Speaker 4: lot of points, which they did, and they're gonna give 60 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 4: up a lot of points, which they do. And I 61 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: don't know why people thought, oh they have they got 62 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 4: two transfer portal players. Oh they're gonna be much better 63 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 4: on defense. Steve. Here's the thing, I don't know how 64 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 4: much you follow. Do you follow recruiting, Steve, I don't 65 00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 4: know if you do. 66 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:32,520 Speaker 3: Or not part of the job. 67 00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:35,840 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, although it's a little more different now because 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: of the transfer portal. 69 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:38,800 Speaker 3: Why say, the recruiting is completely changed. 70 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,960 Speaker 4: Okay, So here's the thing about recruiting and the transfer portal. 71 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:46,400 Speaker 4: The transfer portal can help you win right away because 72 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 4: you accumulate a lot of skill talent. Right if you 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,280 Speaker 4: look at what USC did, if you look at what 74 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 4: Colorado is doing. The thing that lacks is the bulk 75 00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 4: and the depth of the offensive defensive lines. Right. You 76 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 4: can add a piece here and there. For example, Organ 77 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 4: it was really good, right, they're right tackles from Rhode Island. 78 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,720 Speaker 4: He transferred in a lot of times those group of 79 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 4: five transfers group of five right up to Power five. 80 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:11,080 Speaker 4: Not a grow up fcs up to Power five. Those 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,840 Speaker 4: are guys that kind of outgrow their briches. They develop 82 00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:16,360 Speaker 4: later and they go to a Power Conference team and 83 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 4: they're good. But a lot of times if you have 84 00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 4: an offensive defensive lignment transferring from Power five to Power five, 85 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 4: there's a reason why they're leaving, and most offense because 86 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 4: they're not even in the rotation or not supposed to 87 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 4: play on the other team, and they're coming to your 88 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:33,920 Speaker 4: team and they're just okay, right, they're just okay. USC 89 00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 4: does not develop defensive linemen. Lincoln Roley does not develop them. 90 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,640 Speaker 4: So you're left with hoping that you have a bunch 91 00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,440 Speaker 4: of guys in the portal that you can add to 92 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:46,120 Speaker 4: your team that makes your team much better. And then 93 00:04:46,600 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: in addition to that, Alex Kucher defensive coordinator, he calls 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,800 Speaker 4: a game plan like he's at Washington State still, which 95 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,479 Speaker 4: he was ten years ago, nine years ago, and he 96 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:59,039 Speaker 4: calls a game plan with that in mind that he 97 00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:02,159 Speaker 4: has small players. They're not big enough, they're plenty big enough. 98 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,960 Speaker 4: So I'm not surprised, man, because we've seen this happen 99 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,400 Speaker 4: year after year after year, and to believe it was 100 00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 4: anything else, it's insanity. 101 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's they're soft. 102 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,000 Speaker 2: USC is a soft football team, just like the Oklahoma 103 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 2: teams under Link Riley were soft. 104 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:19,680 Speaker 3: They're not funny defense. 105 00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 4: On offense, I think they're they're not. 106 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,800 Speaker 2: Well even even USC is running game today, what's it 107 00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 2: under one hundred yards against a Colorado they ran over well? 108 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:30,400 Speaker 3: Why? 109 00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:35,120 Speaker 4: Because they so a couple of things with the RPO right, 110 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,599 Speaker 4: they run pass option a lot of times. They're calling 111 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,400 Speaker 4: runs right and they're passing the ball, so the numbers 112 00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:41,120 Speaker 4: get a tiny bit skewed there. I don't like the 113 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,040 Speaker 4: RPO game for some of that reason, Like I feel 114 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:46,880 Speaker 4: like there's times when guys are open, uh there's rushing ladies, 115 00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,560 Speaker 4: but they pulled the ball and throw it. But again, 116 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,760 Speaker 4: like usc offensive line wise, it's a bunch of just 117 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,000 Speaker 4: patch it together. It's a it's a couple of transfer 118 00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,599 Speaker 4: portal guy here and there. It's like, uh, you know, 119 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:00,320 Speaker 4: it's a it's you know, a three star player. And 120 00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:02,719 Speaker 4: again I'm not knocking where I was a three star player. 121 00:06:03,040 --> 00:06:05,800 Speaker 4: But at these elite teams, these upper echelon teams in 122 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,120 Speaker 4: the country, the team are watching fight battle. Georgia right 123 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,239 Speaker 4: now gets Auburn. They're getting all four and five star players, 124 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 4: like they recruiting rankings. I know people laugh at them 125 00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,880 Speaker 4: about bah huh, they're pretty good. Like they're pretty accurate 126 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:21,040 Speaker 4: on like who's good and who's not in us, he 127 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,440 Speaker 4: doesn't have those guys often in the offensive defensive line, 128 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,360 Speaker 4: who they've recruited from high school. And that to me 129 00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,640 Speaker 4: is the problem of theirs right now. Also too, you know, 130 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,920 Speaker 4: if you are if you're an offensive minded coach, I 131 00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,760 Speaker 4: think you have to work extra hard to have a 132 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:41,240 Speaker 4: physical defense because a lot of your practice is geared 133 00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: towards the offense. Not like actually, but in the back 134 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:47,080 Speaker 4: of your mind, right, you're always thinking about, well, how 135 00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,400 Speaker 4: do I get an offense better? How do I practice 136 00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 4: to get the offense better? And I think from Lincoln 137 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,000 Speaker 4: Riley that's part of it as well, Like the way 138 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:57,360 Speaker 4: he plays and practices is about the offense, not about 139 00:06:57,360 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 4: the defense, and it's really hard for offense and coaches 140 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: to sort of kind of figure out how to get 141 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,640 Speaker 4: a physical defense for that recD. I just think those 142 00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:09,880 Speaker 4: are all the reasons why USC physically and kind of 143 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,200 Speaker 4: on defense, this is just not good enough. 144 00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,120 Speaker 2: All right, Let's talk about what's going on right now 145 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,600 Speaker 2: in this Auburn Georgia game. We're into the fourth quarter 146 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 2: right now, this game is tied. A couple of observations 147 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 2: on this game. Georgia, first of all, has not looked 148 00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,640 Speaker 2: dominant at any point this season so far. Carson Beck, 149 00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,760 Speaker 2: now their quarterback is a pedestrian quarterback today fifteen to 150 00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:31,280 Speaker 2: twenty three hundred and sixty five yards, no touchdowns and 151 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:34,200 Speaker 2: a pick. But the number that jumps off the page 152 00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,440 Speaker 2: in this game right now, Auburn has two hundred and 153 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:42,360 Speaker 2: eight yards rushing, averaging five point three yards of carry. 154 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: This is not the same. You can't you can't just lose, 155 00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 3: you know, a dozen first round. 156 00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:51,040 Speaker 2: Picks of the NFL over a couple of years and 157 00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 2: just hope the next guy in is going to be 158 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 2: at the same level. 159 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:57,720 Speaker 3: And it looks like this season it's catching up with Georgia. 160 00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:02,600 Speaker 4: You're absolutely right, right, you know it is. It is 161 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 4: just very hard to continually have, you know, the roster 162 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:11,000 Speaker 4: turnover of these type of players, right, And I get it, 163 00:08:11,360 --> 00:08:13,520 Speaker 4: George is gonna have a bunch of young guys eventually 164 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 4: that become those those pro guys, right, Steve. But it's 165 00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 4: hard in year kind of year one for all these 166 00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 4: guys to get in the field together, right, because the 167 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 4: last couple of years we've seen this talent during the 168 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:26,400 Speaker 4: NFL and so just take some time. It just takes 169 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,000 Speaker 4: some time to figure it out. I think that actually 170 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,320 Speaker 4: probably be much better at the end of the season 171 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,360 Speaker 4: as a team than they are now. But this is 172 00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 4: Carson Beck's first road game, road conference game, which is 173 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,120 Speaker 4: I think a tall task if people aren't kind of 174 00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,880 Speaker 4: used to playing in those environments we've seen. We saw 175 00:08:42,920 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 4: your Bruins last weekend with with Dante Moore struggle on 176 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:47,600 Speaker 4: the road as a true freshman. 177 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,679 Speaker 3: How is that first pass of the game. 178 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,079 Speaker 4: We I mean, we saw last week Friday night last night, 179 00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:56,000 Speaker 4: you know, having Nate Johnson make his first conference road 180 00:08:56,080 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 4: starts for Utah. It's hard to play on the road, 181 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,920 Speaker 4: it really is. And so you know, some I think 182 00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 4: some of that could be chalked up to, you know, 183 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,560 Speaker 4: just you know, Beck's first time. Now Beca's knot setsn't been, 184 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 4: I don't think, but it can be. I think I 185 00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 4: think it could be chalked up to just, you know what, 186 00:09:11,720 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: first time on the road. 187 00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:13,760 Speaker 1: You know. 188 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 4: Well, they they should, in my opinion is they should 189 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,240 Speaker 4: be getting better as the season goes on. On the 190 00:09:22,200 --> 00:09:23,480 Speaker 4: on kind of both sides of the ball. 191 00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 2: Honestly, well, a couple of teams I'm keeping an eye on, 192 00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 2: just like how good are they? One of them is Texas, 193 00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:33,600 Speaker 2: who is wiping out a previously undefeated Kansas team. I mean, 194 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,760 Speaker 2: the total yards in this game, I'm adding him up 195 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 2: or five point fifty eight to a little over two hundred. 196 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,520 Speaker 2: This has been complete domination by the Longhorns. They're leading 197 00:09:42,559 --> 00:09:44,599 Speaker 2: thirty three to fourteen, thirteen minutes to go in the 198 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 2: fourth quarter. 199 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 3: Could Texas? Could Texas be. 200 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 2: One of those teams that just finally I almost look 201 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:54,040 Speaker 2: like a Texas Like I look at the Cowboys, right, 202 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 2: I mean, it's like, aren't you due for a breakout season? 203 00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,240 Speaker 2: Because it's not like they haven't had talent, but for 204 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: some reason they've gone sideways every single year at some point. 205 00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: Could this finally be the year the Longhorn fans have 206 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:11,680 Speaker 2: been waiting for since their heyday that ended with Colt McCoy. 207 00:10:13,080 --> 00:10:16,160 Speaker 4: So, I know, I just focused a lot on kind 208 00:10:16,200 --> 00:10:20,400 Speaker 4: of the trenches. Right. When Sart got to Texas, the 209 00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,439 Speaker 4: first thing he did was recruit big dogs in the 210 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: offensive defensive lines. Look at what they've done and recruiting 211 00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,439 Speaker 4: in the last two or three years on that side 212 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,120 Speaker 4: of the ball. Their left tackle, Calvin Banks is a 213 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 4: true sophomore. He plays a true freshman unless it was 214 00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:36,240 Speaker 4: number one off tackle in the country. I know that 215 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 4: because he was going to Oregon until Mark Cristoball left. 216 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:40,880 Speaker 4: I kind of watched his high school film a little bit. 217 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:43,640 Speaker 4: But look at what they've done in the trenches. Man. 218 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 4: They beat Alabama obviously with some explosive plays, but they's 219 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:50,839 Speaker 4: supposed to happen because the offensive line blocked. Alabama like 220 00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 4: their offensive defensive lines have me excited for what they 221 00:10:54,160 --> 00:10:56,439 Speaker 4: can be. And then if they just back of the 222 00:10:56,520 --> 00:11:00,480 Speaker 4: secondary is a little questionable. You know, quarterback play yours. 223 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,640 Speaker 4: It looks good sometimes and I think a little bit 224 00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:06,040 Speaker 4: consistent other times. But if they play their A game, 225 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,440 Speaker 4: their A game, they have a chance to win the championship. 226 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 4: It's that simple, all right. 227 00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:12,439 Speaker 2: We got a lot of college football to get to 228 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:15,760 Speaker 2: obviously on this Saturday, but there's also the National Football 229 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 2: League coming up on the other side.

Our Fox Sports Radio NFL insider Adam Kaplan 256 00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,320 Speaker 2: joins us once again, and Adam, I want to start 257 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 2: things off by this question. In terms of power rankings 258 00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,960 Speaker 2: in the NFC, you have the Niners, you have the Eagles. 259 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: Are the Lions third? 260 00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:53,959 Speaker 6: Right? 261 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 3: Now in the NFC. 262 00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,320 Speaker 7: Yeah, sure, Look I picked him to win division back 263 00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:00,839 Speaker 7: in May. I'm not surprised that they're doing as well 264 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:02,520 Speaker 7: as they did. And what I love is that, you know, 265 00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 7: they had a very tough loss against the Seahawks, game 266 00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 7: they could have won, the defense didn't play well. They 267 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 7: rebound that there, they hammer the Falcons, and they go 268 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 7: to Green Bay and I'm telling they manhandled green Bay, 269 00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,199 Speaker 7: which just doesn't happen in Green Bay much. But they've 270 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:19,440 Speaker 7: now beaten the Packers four games in a row. They're 271 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 7: a little bit beat up talking to the Lions over 272 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,920 Speaker 7: the last twenty four hours. Are a little concerned about 273 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 7: couple of injuries, but overall they've just played great football. 274 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 7: The other story here is how well Jared Goff has played. 275 00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:33,800 Speaker 7: Everyone kind of wrote them off with the Rams when 276 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 7: he started fading, and he's completely revived his career the 277 00:13:36,840 --> 00:13:37,560 Speaker 7: last two seasons. 278 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,920 Speaker 4: Sticking in the in the NFC Conference, we have a 279 00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:43,959 Speaker 4: game here in my backyard between the Panthers and the Vikings. 280 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 4: I'm not so concerned about the Vikings. Are more about 281 00:13:46,880 --> 00:13:48,960 Speaker 4: the I mean the Panthers, more about the Vikings here. Yeah, 282 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:51,719 Speaker 4: zero to three obviously a big reversal from the way 283 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 4: they finished games last season. How much kind of panic 284 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 4: is there in the building about their start. 285 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 7: Yeah, look, last year, Jeff as you know, they all 286 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 7: these miracle wins that said in record in the fourth quarter. 287 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 7: Now they can't close. It's kind of funny how that 288 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:07,160 Speaker 7: works out, and fans clamoring for them to Trey kirk Cousins. 289 00:14:07,240 --> 00:14:09,160 Speaker 7: You know, they decided they weren't an extend his contract. 290 00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 7: This is his final year. It's just not going as well. 291 00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 7: The thing that I think is disappointing people is how 292 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:18,000 Speaker 7: disappointing the defense has been with Brian Flores. You know, 293 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:20,320 Speaker 7: he's changing things up. He's running a completely different scheme 294 00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,800 Speaker 7: than the one they were running under Ed Donotel last season. 295 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,000 Speaker 7: And it just does not take in fact they think 296 00:14:26,040 --> 00:14:27,600 Speaker 7: they have the players, although I would argue I don't 297 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 7: think they have the players at cornerback. But the defense 298 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,200 Speaker 7: has not played particularly well and that's certainly been into 299 00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:35,640 Speaker 7: big disappointment and I'm just interested to see if they 300 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:38,120 Speaker 7: could at least And this is a team that the Panthers, 301 00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 7: by the way, are beat up physically on both sides 302 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 7: of the football. They're just reeling. They've got probably seven 303 00:14:42,520 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 7: starters down this week. This has got to be a game. 304 00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:46,480 Speaker 7: I don't care if it's on the road, you can 305 00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:47,720 Speaker 7: play it anywhere. That You've got to be able to 306 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,360 Speaker 7: beat the Panthers here, who are really injured. 307 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:51,840 Speaker 2: All right, So when he took the job, Sean Payton 308 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,240 Speaker 2: was quick to publicly blame Nathaniel Hackett for the mess 309 00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:56,680 Speaker 2: that was the Broncos a year ago. 310 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,920 Speaker 3: Is Hackett to blame for what we saw this last week? 311 00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:01,440 Speaker 3: And really this season? 312 00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 2: Can you imagine if the Broncos lose on the road 313 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 2: to the windless Bears this week? 314 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:09,760 Speaker 3: Why is this? Why is this such a disastrous start 315 00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:11,320 Speaker 3: right now for Sean Payton in Denver? 316 00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:13,880 Speaker 7: And it's not been It's really interesting. It's not really 317 00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,440 Speaker 7: been Russell Wilson so much. It's been their defense collapsed. 318 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 7: Quite frankly, Vance Joseph, who was once the head coach 319 00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,920 Speaker 7: of the Broncos. It's kind of interesting how that's happened. 320 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 7: It's been a fascinating story. But yeah, uh, their defenses 321 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,320 Speaker 7: has been has collapsed. I mean it's been very disappointing. 322 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,040 Speaker 7: Last week is embarrassing. I mean, you lose by fifty, 323 00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 7: but give up seventy. I mean, you just you can't 324 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 7: make it up and never see anything like that in 325 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 7: twenty four years of cover this business. And by the way, 326 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 7: we were calling the ticket broker's day off in Chicago 327 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:42,680 Speaker 7: that this is the game, and I mean, how could 328 00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 7: how in the world could you want? 329 00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:44,120 Speaker 4: I know, it's good. 330 00:15:44,120 --> 00:15:46,520 Speaker 7: It's the great thing about this Sunday for it's the 331 00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,760 Speaker 7: first Sunday this season where I think every game has 332 00:15:48,800 --> 00:15:50,680 Speaker 7: sun There should be it should be really nice outside 333 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:51,840 Speaker 7: if you're going to these games. 334 00:15:52,640 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 4: I've been on the Broncos because they're three and a 335 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 4: half this after after a fifty point loss, it kind 336 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 4: of tells you where the Bears are him. I mean, 337 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:03,960 Speaker 4: ibra Flus is not making it much longer, right. I 338 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,840 Speaker 4: saw meme say that that every professional sports team except 339 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 4: the Bears has one of games. It's Elon Musk, buts 340 00:16:10,880 --> 00:16:14,560 Speaker 4: that's a say that one someone Someone sent it to me, 341 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 4: like the Bears have not won a game in over 342 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,320 Speaker 4: a year, and it feels like ibra Flus his days 343 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:20,800 Speaker 4: are numbered. 344 00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,120 Speaker 7: Right, Well, let's put it this way. The GM Ryan 345 00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 7: Paul's put ebra Flus in a tough spot. Ibra Flus 346 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:30,920 Speaker 7: wanted a certain type of linebacker. They're paying two off 347 00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:33,080 Speaker 7: the ball linebackers a total of twenty five million the 348 00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:36,480 Speaker 7: season tremade mns A TG Edwards. This is not the 349 00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:38,080 Speaker 7: way you build a forty three front. They have the 350 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:40,800 Speaker 7: NFL's worst pass rush now two seasons. By the way, 351 00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,040 Speaker 7: I put Ryan Poul's on the hot seat in terms 352 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,520 Speaker 7: of getting this thing turned around. He's not built this team. Well, 353 00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,480 Speaker 7: now he's made a really nice straight with Carolina, give 354 00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 7: him credit for that, but he just doesn't understand how 355 00:16:51,480 --> 00:16:54,840 Speaker 7: you put a football team together. It's you always started 356 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,360 Speaker 7: the lines, offensive, defensive lines, looks. Look at the way 357 00:16:57,400 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 7: the Eagles have built their team. That's the way that 358 00:16:59,280 --> 00:16:59,560 Speaker 7: you win. 359 00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:02,520 Speaker 2: So tomorrow we kick off our show at ten am 360 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,560 Speaker 2: on the West coast as we get ready for nine games. 361 00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:08,639 Speaker 2: We had the early game tomorrow with the Falcons Jags 362 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 2: out at Wembley. But Dolphins Bills and this game. I 363 00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:15,359 Speaker 2: see the Bills are you know, slight favorites, but you 364 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,160 Speaker 2: know overreaction obviously we all do it. And you watch 365 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: a Dolphins team that rolls up at least three hundred 366 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 2: and fifty yards in both rushing and passing. Both their 367 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:30,400 Speaker 2: running backs scored four touchdowns. So where do we sit 368 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 2: right now with the Dolphins going into Buffalo after that 369 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,360 Speaker 2: historic performance last week? 370 00:17:37,640 --> 00:17:40,760 Speaker 7: Yeah, and look the Dogs, that's something we're never going 371 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:43,879 Speaker 7: to see anything like that again. But what the Bills 372 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,600 Speaker 7: have to do is and the Dolphins do not have 373 00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:48,120 Speaker 7: a very good offensive line. I don't know how they're 374 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:49,520 Speaker 7: doing it other than two us getting rid of the 375 00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:52,840 Speaker 7: ball quickly to negate the pass rush pretty well, but 376 00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:54,920 Speaker 7: they got to get after him. And Leonard Floyd is 377 00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:58,520 Speaker 7: the X factor. Number fifty six veteran guy could rush 378 00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 7: the passer. He's really good. Or Von Miller won't be 379 00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 7: back until probably late October early November, and he is 380 00:18:03,800 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 7: a guy who's played very well. This is kind of 381 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,399 Speaker 7: an underrated signing for him. And they're super deep a 382 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:11,160 Speaker 7: corner Elam who was a first round pick a couple 383 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:12,960 Speaker 7: years ago at corner can't even get on the field. 384 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,080 Speaker 7: So they're good there now. They're not gonna have Jordan 385 00:18:15,119 --> 00:18:17,080 Speaker 7: Poyer one of the starting safetyes. That does worry me. 386 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:18,800 Speaker 7: Demorro Hamlin's going to play tomorrow. 387 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:19,440 Speaker 4: That's good. 388 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:21,760 Speaker 7: It's great to see. That's going to be hard for them. 389 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:24,520 Speaker 7: I like the Dolphins in this game. You know they 390 00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:26,160 Speaker 7: by the way they almost beat them in the playoffs. 391 00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:29,520 Speaker 7: It was very, very close. And I just don't know 392 00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:31,080 Speaker 7: if the Bills can handle it. I don't think I'll 393 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,280 Speaker 7: be honest with that. No one could really handle the 394 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 7: Dolphins speed. It's can you break down the Dolphins protection? 395 00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:39,399 Speaker 7: And two was winning at the line because he's getting 396 00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:41,160 Speaker 7: rid of the ball so quickly. And I'll give their 397 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 7: offensive line credit. Didn't see this coming. It's played fairly well. 398 00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 4: The Bengals travel to the Titans. Both teams are one 399 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: and two. It feels like a loser go home game. 400 00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,320 Speaker 4: Right you started one and three in the AFC, probably 401 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 4: not making the playoffs. How the Bengal's going to manage 402 00:18:55,600 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow's calf because it feels like something that it 403 00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:00,600 Speaker 4: doesn't get better soon and it's just going to be 404 00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 4: this way all season. 405 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,560 Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. 406 00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 7: Number one, he took more practice reps this week than 407 00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,600 Speaker 7: he had all season. So that's a good thing, which 408 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,840 Speaker 7: is interesting. It was a short week, you wouldn't think, 409 00:19:10,880 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 7: so he did a good job managing it. It's his 410 00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 7: right leg, that's the power leg, you know, the left 411 00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:18,560 Speaker 7: for a right hand throw of the left of the 412 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,320 Speaker 7: plant foot and he powers off his right hip and 413 00:19:20,440 --> 00:19:22,600 Speaker 7: right foot. That does worry mean, Yeah, it's not gonna 414 00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:24,680 Speaker 7: get You need to be off your feet for like 415 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,440 Speaker 7: four weeks for that to get better. And it's just 416 00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:27,960 Speaker 7: something they're going to have to manage. They don't have 417 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,840 Speaker 7: a backup who has any experience. That does worry me. 418 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,520 Speaker 7: Their defense is their defense is a little bit better 419 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:35,440 Speaker 7: than people think. It's just not good enough to carry them. 420 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,760 Speaker 7: This would worry me. Now what I would worry though 421 00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:40,560 Speaker 7: if I'm the Titans is Darrek Cannery's got a tow injury. 422 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 7: It's lingering. He's not the player he once was. He's 423 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,800 Speaker 7: lost his step. I'm told from people have watched his tape. 424 00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:48,360 Speaker 7: This is a team that their offensive line's pitiful. They're 425 00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 7: going to get though, by the way, with the new 426 00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:52,399 Speaker 7: gambling world, they're going to get back beatief for a 427 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 7: next week. The right tackle that's going to help them. 428 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 7: But they're a team here to me looks like to 429 00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,560 Speaker 7: be in transition. 430 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,159 Speaker 3: It's amazing. 431 00:19:58,160 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 2: You get to week four all of a sudden there's 432 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 2: some interest team matchups right, and you start getting a 433 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 2: feel for teams. But I'm trying to get a feel 434 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 2: for this Cleveland Browns team. They're hosting the Ravens. You know, 435 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,560 Speaker 2: two weeks ago Deshaun Watson had a complete meltdown against 436 00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 2: the Steelers and then he comes back against the Titans 437 00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 2: and was steady throughout. And that Brown's defense is scary. 438 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:22,760 Speaker 2: I mean, Miles Garrett seems to be on a mission 439 00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 2: to set the sacks record this year. So they're a 440 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 2: slight favorite point point and a half favorite at home 441 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,280 Speaker 2: against the Ravens. 442 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 3: How do you see this matchup? 443 00:20:32,080 --> 00:20:34,280 Speaker 7: Well, it's interesting though. Watson played his best game as 444 00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,119 Speaker 7: a Brown, no question about it, but now it's got 445 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,680 Speaker 7: this right shoulder injury. He did he did light work 446 00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 7: each day this week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and during Thompson 447 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 7: Robinson is a kid from UCLA who could really run. 448 00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:50,200 Speaker 7: He's the backup quarterback. He got a lot of reps 449 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 7: this week. That's that's that's why. By the way, Steve, 450 00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:55,200 Speaker 7: that the line is what it is because the Ravens 451 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 7: bottle layer. They're beat up on both sides of the football. 452 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 7: If Watson could play, I definitely would pick the Browns. 453 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,879 Speaker 7: It's this is a good game, and it's funny you 454 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 7: mentioned the uh the sack record. You know, I told 455 00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 7: people to take the over in the sacks because of 456 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 7: the front that they're playing that wide nine where the 457 00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 7: ends are outside the tackles. Watch Miles Garrett, uh before 458 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,880 Speaker 7: the snap, you'll see him that he kind of moves 459 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,040 Speaker 7: on up and down the line. They one last week 460 00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 7: he was dancing kind of. He was kind of like 461 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 7: shuffling from right to left. It was kind of interesting. 462 00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 7: And Jim Schwartz has done a phenomenal job with their defense. 463 00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:32,960 Speaker 4: The Jets host the Chiefs tomorrow night. This could be 464 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:35,840 Speaker 4: a mess, could be Yeah, it'll be a tough one here. 465 00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,359 Speaker 4: You know, are the Jets gonna take responsibility for not 466 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 4: having a backup plan for Aaron Rodgers? Like, I understand 467 00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:45,480 Speaker 4: you go all in for quarterback, but if you look 468 00:21:45,480 --> 00:21:48,560 Speaker 4: at the other the other contenders in the NFL, they 469 00:21:48,800 --> 00:21:50,480 Speaker 4: do have a competent backup, right. I mean, if you 470 00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 4: lose your quarterback for the season, you're not going to 471 00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 4: make the playoffs and win Super Bowl. I get that, 472 00:21:54,320 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 4: But they just chose not to have anybody. Is there 473 00:21:56,840 --> 00:21:58,040 Speaker 4: going to be any backlash for that? 474 00:21:58,640 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 8: Well? 475 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,679 Speaker 7: This actually they did want Joe Flacco back. They there 476 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,680 Speaker 7: were some veteran free agencies said they're not going to 477 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:08,040 Speaker 7: work out. Yeah, that Joe Douglass a GM does deserve 478 00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:11,359 Speaker 7: criticism for that. And also this is the other big story. 479 00:22:11,440 --> 00:22:16,120 Speaker 7: Their offensive line is in really bad shape. Dwayne Brown, 480 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 7: their thirty nine year old left tackles on ir he's 481 00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,080 Speaker 7: had so many injury problems since they brought him in 482 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 7: last year. Backed in his back at left tackle. Verry 483 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,840 Speaker 7: Tucker starting guards now at right tackle, which he's played 484 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:29,119 Speaker 7: before in college. But you're really worry about this. This 485 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 7: line has not played well. And Zach Wilson for from 486 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:34,800 Speaker 7: talking to the Jets, but they really felt he was 487 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 7: coming on in training camp in preseason. But that's out 488 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 7: the door now. And he does not look right. He's 489 00:22:39,320 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 7: playing too fast, he's like on five cups of Starbucks. 490 00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:42,760 Speaker 7: He just doesn't look right. 491 00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:43,080 Speaker 4: Folks. 492 00:22:43,280 --> 00:22:47,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going to be a wipeout.

Steve Harman, Jeff Schwartz. Back to 573 00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:45,119 Speaker 8: you guys, all right, thank. 574 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:45,439 Speaker 2: You very much. 575 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:45,720 Speaker 3: Nick. 576 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,400 Speaker 2: By the way, Brian Hoyer to put his possible start 577 00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 2: for the Raiders in perspective. When he broke into the league, 578 00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 2: his roommate with the Patriots was Rich Ornberger. Rich their 579 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 2: roommates for three years. Rich has not played in the 580 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 2: NFL since twenty fourteen. So that's that's how long Brian Hoyer, 581 00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:04,760 Speaker 2: okay has been around. 582 00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:06,880 Speaker 4: Will you just play Aid and O'Connell and be done 583 00:27:06,920 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 4: with it? Like, why was Brian hore gonna give you? 584 00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:13,160 Speaker 2: I have absolutely no idea. Did they still think delusions 585 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:14,400 Speaker 2: that they're going to be a playoff team? 586 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,680 Speaker 3: I guess they do. Josh McDaniels is an awful coach often. 587 00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,639 Speaker 2: By the way, this is Fox Football Saturday, Steve Hartman 588 00:27:21,960 --> 00:27:23,760 Speaker 2: and Jeff Schortz with you. We are live from the 589 00:27:24,119 --> 00:27:26,640 Speaker 2: tire rack dot Com studios. All right, this is where 590 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 2: I get a little nervous in the show because Oregon 591 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: and Stanford kicking. 592 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:32,920 Speaker 3: Out for right now. Number nine Oregon on the road 593 00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 3: against Stanford. 594 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:35,200 Speaker 2: I want to get back to the back twelve because 595 00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 2: they have been the most talked about conference in the 596 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,960 Speaker 2: country right now. So, as I mentioned earlier, Jeff, I'm 597 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 2: looking at power rankings in this conference. From what I've 598 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 2: seen so far, Oregon and Washington are at the top 599 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 2: of the list. And I'm not so sure that Oregon State, 600 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,760 Speaker 2: with their great defense and they showed off against Utah 601 00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 2: and Washington State with their offense, aren't like level two, 602 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,879 Speaker 2: and then I'm looking at Utah still looking for an offense, 603 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 2: trying to get their starter back and the defenseless USC Trojans. 604 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:07,960 Speaker 2: I mean, am I sort of on track when you 605 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 2: look at the different levels of what we're looking at 606 00:28:10,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: right now in the PAC twelve. 607 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:15,399 Speaker 4: So I have said all along, the winner of the 608 00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,440 Speaker 4: conferences here will be the winner with the best with 609 00:28:17,520 --> 00:28:20,919 Speaker 4: the team with the best defense. Yes, and Utah has 610 00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:24,280 Speaker 4: that best defense right now. Unfortunately, their offense is bogged 611 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 4: downout Cam Rising, right. I mean, it's it's that simple 612 00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,199 Speaker 4: they have. Do you know that they have less yards 613 00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:32,919 Speaker 4: to me less points per play on offense right now 614 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 4: than Iowa does. Now, Iowa's playing with the starting quarterback. 615 00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 4: Utah is not. They're playing with a third and four 616 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,200 Speaker 4: string quarterback, all right. Their second string got hurt in 617 00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 4: training camp too, and we know Cam Rising has been out. 618 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 4: So it's hard to judge their offense because we haven't 619 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:48,400 Speaker 4: seen their offense sort of be full strength. Defense is 620 00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:51,320 Speaker 4: really good. I've been trying to tell people this for 621 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 4: a couple months now, but I obviously went to Oregon 622 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 4: and bab Moregan hoh blah blah blah. I've been trying 623 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,400 Speaker 4: to tell people the Oregon's defense is really good, and 624 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:01,880 Speaker 4: I feel like today with the with the USC defensive performance, 625 00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:05,800 Speaker 4: puts in a perspective how well Oregan is on defense. 626 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 4: Right they allowed zero points to Colorado with the starters 627 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:12,040 Speaker 4: in the game, USC allowed forty one. All right, Like 628 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 4: Oregon's good on defense, So they're in that category for 629 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 4: me if the team they could win the conference. Washington 630 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 4: to me is a wild card on defense, right. I 631 00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 4: don't know. They haven't played anybody yet. They play Arizona tonight. 632 00:29:24,640 --> 00:29:26,960 Speaker 4: Will know a lot more about Washington later tonight. But 633 00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,960 Speaker 4: my take on Washington as a steve, they are maxed 634 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 4: out on offense, like they cannot get any better. Where 635 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 4: I feel like Oregon, USC, Utah even okon to State 636 00:29:38,480 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 4: with Dju, who's been sort of up and down, it's 637 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,320 Speaker 4: completing fifty percent of passes the last three games. There's 638 00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 4: a lot more for them to reach, right, There's not 639 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 4: more for Washington reach. Like they're maxed out right now 640 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:53,080 Speaker 4: on offense. They can't get any better, and that's a 641 00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 4: good thing. Obviously, they're very good. I would vote them 642 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:56,320 Speaker 4: to be the number one team in the country, by 643 00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:58,400 Speaker 4: the way, So that's how I look at the top 644 00:29:58,440 --> 00:30:02,320 Speaker 4: of the conference. Washington it's good. But the concern for 645 00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 4: me is that over a twelve game season, the most 646 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:12,080 Speaker 4: talented team typically wins, and Washington State as a whole 647 00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:14,040 Speaker 4: is not as talented as the rest of the conference. 648 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,960 Speaker 4: They're just they just don't have those pro guys in 649 00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,920 Speaker 4: their roster. But they have pass rushers, they have cam Ward, 650 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:22,760 Speaker 4: They're gonna be in every game. And then the Beavers, 651 00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 4: I don't I don't know. 652 00:30:23,880 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 3: Steve well Uli and the lay played respectable not great. 653 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,040 Speaker 2: I mean for them to go next level because they 654 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 2: really have a good defense, and Washington State exposed them. 655 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 2: I mean, Washington State's passing offense is tough to stop. 656 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, but see, this is the thing that is Oregon 657 00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:47,440 Speaker 4: State has not played offense no that can exploit their 658 00:30:47,520 --> 00:30:50,440 Speaker 4: new linebackers, a new secondary. And so that's why I'm 659 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:53,840 Speaker 4: sort of of the opinion that like Oregon Stay, I 660 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,360 Speaker 4: think still has those deficiencies and Utah couldn't do either, 661 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,560 Speaker 4: right because Utah, you know, they can't throw the ball. 662 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 4: So I I just and DJ you to me again, 663 00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:04,840 Speaker 4: is completely fifty percent passed over the last three games, 664 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,560 Speaker 4: like it has not been very good, and so I 665 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 4: am kind of to me there's a little bit of 666 00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:14,440 Speaker 4: concern there with kind of how good they can be 667 00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:16,640 Speaker 4: over this stretch of games that they have an easier schedule. 668 00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:21,520 Speaker 4: They miss USC and and Washington. No, they miss USC. Yeah, 669 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:26,800 Speaker 4: they miss USC. So that helps them obviously. So the 670 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 4: best part about this season is everyone plays each other. 671 00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:35,760 Speaker 4: From October eleventh, excuse me, October fourteenth, Washington, Organ play 672 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:40,600 Speaker 4: each other all the way to November eleventh, UCA USC, 673 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,080 Speaker 4: ecuse me, Washington, USC, Organ, Utah all play each other 674 00:31:45,480 --> 00:31:47,840 Speaker 4: like what we will all will all settle on the field, buddy, Well, 675 00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:48,719 Speaker 4: we'll play each other. 676 00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:52,040 Speaker 2: So when the guy the game was at thirty four 677 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 2: to seven, USC leading Colorado on the first half, I 678 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 2: mean at that point they had been outscored seventy six 679 00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:59,440 Speaker 2: to thirteen since the start of the Oregon game, and 680 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 2: so we felt like we're ready to extinguish this Colorado story. 681 00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 2: But the game ends today and no one's talking about 682 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 2: Klob Williams four hundred yards, six touchdowns. Everyone is talking 683 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,440 Speaker 2: about how Colorado came back in the game. So where 684 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 2: does Colorado go from here? After the embarrassment against Oregon 685 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,600 Speaker 2: and then rising from the ashes to make it respectable 686 00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:21,360 Speaker 2: against USC. 687 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 4: Well, the thing about we know about Colorado is they 688 00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 4: have a lot of skill talent, especially quarterback wide receiver. 689 00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 4: And it showed the show the show today, right, like 690 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 4: we know that about them, but we don't know and 691 00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,200 Speaker 4: we don't and they're not very good as in the trenches, 692 00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 4: and so they're going to compete against the Arizonas and 693 00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 4: Arizona States, but they're going to lose to Utah and 694 00:32:40,680 --> 00:32:43,160 Speaker 4: Oregon and USC. And that's just where they are. And 695 00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 4: they have to get better in those positions and they 696 00:32:45,120 --> 00:32:48,200 Speaker 4: know that. It's not something that they don't know. They 697 00:32:48,240 --> 00:32:50,440 Speaker 4: just have to get better at those positions for the future. 698 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,600 Speaker 4: And that'll change obviously what they can do next year 699 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,400 Speaker 4: and the after that. But you know, though they're gonna 700 00:32:57,720 --> 00:32:59,479 Speaker 4: win six or seven games, I thought they win three, 701 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:02,440 Speaker 4: so obviously big improvement over that. But yeah, they're not 702 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 4: going to be competitive at the top of the conference. 703 00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,720 Speaker 4: And that's okay. It's I don't think that they I 704 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 4: don't as much as you know, as much as Dean 705 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 4: sort of talked about, you know, we're coming on, I 706 00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 4: think he's a smart man, right, Like he knew what 707 00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:17,080 Speaker 4: the limitations are of this team, and I think if 708 00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:19,800 Speaker 4: they get to six wins, it is a huge, huge 709 00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:21,760 Speaker 4: sheason for that, like it's a huge excess in your one. 710 00:33:21,840 --> 00:33:23,680 Speaker 2: All right, coming up on the other side, it is 711 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,080 Speaker 2: my weekly Heisman down nice with a little bit of 712 00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 2: a twist in games. 713 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:34,400 Speaker 3: Today is Fox Sports Saturday.

I mean, you just can't get 829 00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:14,160 Speaker 2: because most of those sacks he had a vision of 830 00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 2: the guy that was going to sack him and then 831 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,680 Speaker 2: he took the sack, and he just can't do that 832 00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:18,640 Speaker 2: at the next level. 833 00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:22,480 Speaker 3: But this kid's resilience, I've got to give it to him. 834 00:39:22,560 --> 00:39:26,360 Speaker 2: And what happened today when things I mean when you 835 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,680 Speaker 2: got blown out and embarrassed and then you're getting blown 836 00:39:28,719 --> 00:39:30,840 Speaker 2: out in embarrass at home like they were today and 837 00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:34,879 Speaker 2: everyone's watching. Man, it's easy to just, you know, sort 838 00:39:34,920 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 2: of roll into a ball and go away. And this 839 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:40,239 Speaker 2: kid is not that at all. And for him to 840 00:39:40,560 --> 00:39:43,560 Speaker 2: come back the way he did after that huge deficit 841 00:39:43,760 --> 00:39:46,840 Speaker 2: and at least make it interesting at the end, I 842 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,360 Speaker 2: like what I see with Shador Sanders. If you're looking 843 00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,680 Speaker 2: about him at the next level, though, what because I'm 844 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,480 Speaker 2: watching with my son who says, well, he should stay another. 845 00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:57,640 Speaker 3: Year at Colorado. I don't know. 846 00:39:57,719 --> 00:39:59,919 Speaker 2: He's already played a couple of years at Jackson State 847 00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:05,400 Speaker 2: and now you're at Colorado. But what's missing, if anything, 848 00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:09,640 Speaker 2: for him to be a legit NFL quarterback. 849 00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:16,919 Speaker 4: So his pocket presence at times is like not really there. Yeah, 850 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:22,600 Speaker 4: he is very quick to either leave the pocket or 851 00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,239 Speaker 4: drift out of the pocket. I get it. I get 852 00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:29,520 Speaker 4: it with you know, the the offensive line issues he has, 853 00:40:29,600 --> 00:40:31,040 Speaker 4: but the offensive line is not as bad as the 854 00:40:31,080 --> 00:40:33,560 Speaker 4: sack numbers are that they're not good. But a lot 855 00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,239 Speaker 4: of times and there was a play that Joel Clout 856 00:40:35,360 --> 00:40:37,080 Speaker 4: highlighted today with the running back was sort of open 857 00:40:37,480 --> 00:40:40,239 Speaker 4: going left and you know, so just drifting a left 858 00:40:40,280 --> 00:40:41,719 Speaker 4: tackle and he couldn't throw it. 859 00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll have much more on everything going 860 00:40:44,120 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 2: on on the college football scene, and yes, Jeff's look 861 00:40:47,360 --> 00:40:48,560 Speaker 2: ahead to NFL Sunday. 862 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:50,320 Speaker 3: This is Fox Sports Saturday. 863 00:40:50,680 --> 00:40:53,520 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 864 00:40:53,600 --> 00:40:56,960 Speaker 1: the nation.

Total 874 00:41:30,239 --> 00:41:33,399 Speaker 2: yards so far as Stanford leads Oregon by a score 875 00:41:33,440 --> 00:41:36,719 Speaker 2: of three to nothing, eighty six total yards for Stanford 876 00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:38,359 Speaker 2: six six. 877 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're Oregon right now. We've got three plays they've 878 00:41:41,239 --> 00:41:43,920 Speaker 4: had I think they've had twenty two plays so far. 879 00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,319 Speaker 3: Okay, now this again is Stanford team that the loss 880 00:41:46,360 --> 00:41:47,439 Speaker 3: of Sacramento State. 881 00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:48,200 Speaker 4: Thisicketball? 882 00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:50,480 Speaker 3: What is the what's the line on this game? 883 00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:51,120 Speaker 2: Oh? 884 00:41:51,160 --> 00:41:52,520 Speaker 4: I didn't bet at twenty seven and a half. 885 00:41:52,640 --> 00:41:54,880 Speaker 3: Twenty seven and a half in Palo Alto. 886 00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,719 Speaker 4: Okay, there a buddy of mine, Dan rubmysteal. You're gonna 887 00:41:57,719 --> 00:42:00,719 Speaker 4: shout out. He coined the term a pick a ball 888 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:03,880 Speaker 4: offense and a pick a ball offense is what Stanford's 889 00:42:03,880 --> 00:42:05,600 Speaker 4: doing right now. They're averaging like three and a half 890 00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,640 Speaker 4: yards of play, right, and they just pick a ball 891 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:11,400 Speaker 4: you to death. But the difference is if it doesn't 892 00:42:11,520 --> 00:42:15,360 Speaker 4: end in sevens, you you can't win games like this. 893 00:42:15,600 --> 00:42:18,759 Speaker 4: And also it's just hard to ask an offense to 894 00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 4: not make a mistake. You know, Stanford had a fourteen 895 00:42:21,000 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 4: play opening drive and in three points, right it's you know, 896 00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:30,080 Speaker 4: the drive ended on a fumbled snap and a bad penalty. Like, 897 00:42:30,200 --> 00:42:33,759 Speaker 4: it's hard to ask an offense in college football to 898 00:42:33,880 --> 00:42:36,840 Speaker 4: score seven points when you have fourteen play drives. It's 899 00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,160 Speaker 4: just hard to do. Too many mistakes are made. And 900 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 4: so we'll see a long Stafford can keep this up. 901 00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:45,000 Speaker 4: Our best corner just got hurt, so that's not great. 902 00:42:46,440 --> 00:42:50,080 Speaker 4: But yeah, I will. I mean, I'm not concerned, but 903 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:52,320 Speaker 4: you know, if they start getting sevens, I'll be concerned. 904 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:52,759 Speaker 3: All right. 905 00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,400 Speaker 2: Well, if we're talking forty five minutes from now Stanford's 906 00:42:55,400 --> 00:42:58,080 Speaker 2: still leading, will have a different conversation, all right. So 907 00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,320 Speaker 2: Stanford leading Oregon inside six minutes to go in the 908 00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:02,800 Speaker 2: first quarter by a score of three to nothing. LSU 909 00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:05,279 Speaker 2: trying to come back in this game against Old Miss 910 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,280 Speaker 2: Ole Miss now has a first intend at the fourteen 911 00:43:08,360 --> 00:43:10,839 Speaker 2: yard line, leading LSU by a score of twenty one 912 00:43:10,880 --> 00:43:12,799 Speaker 2: to fourteen. I wanted to ask you because I didn't 913 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:16,960 Speaker 2: get obviously a chance last week about Alabama's dominating. 914 00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,719 Speaker 3: Victory against Old Miss. 915 00:43:17,880 --> 00:43:20,160 Speaker 2: And of course what led up to that was all 916 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 2: the obituaries being read about Nick Saban and its future 917 00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,879 Speaker 2: at Alabama, and suddenly he put the one quarterback back 918 00:43:27,960 --> 00:43:30,919 Speaker 2: in and he played pretty well. So where you stand 919 00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,480 Speaker 2: right now with Alabama? You know, obviously losing convincingly to Texas, 920 00:43:36,600 --> 00:43:39,480 Speaker 2: that's no Shanka Sexas is really good right now, But 921 00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:43,279 Speaker 2: where are we going now? With Alabama having not won 922 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:47,480 Speaker 2: a national championship the last couple of years, already with 923 00:43:47,600 --> 00:43:50,040 Speaker 2: an l on their ledgers so far this season? 924 00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:52,560 Speaker 3: Where are we going with Nick Saban's crew right now? 925 00:43:54,719 --> 00:43:56,400 Speaker 4: We're going to the same place we talked about a 926 00:43:56,440 --> 00:43:58,960 Speaker 4: little bit with Georgia is that it's just hard to 927 00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,359 Speaker 4: maintain the talent level year after year that you need 928 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:05,279 Speaker 4: to win a championship when you've won I think he's 929 00:44:05,280 --> 00:44:07,800 Speaker 4: won five at Alabama, right it's just hard to do that, 930 00:44:07,880 --> 00:44:11,719 Speaker 4: and more importantly, don't have a quarterback and I'm a 931 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,480 Speaker 4: good quarterback right now to a win to the NFL. 932 00:44:15,040 --> 00:44:18,480 Speaker 4: Price Young went to the NFL for whatever reason. I 933 00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,080 Speaker 4: don't know. I don't follow their recruiting. They have not 934 00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:24,080 Speaker 4: been able to get a quarterback. It's a big problem. 935 00:44:24,320 --> 00:44:27,839 Speaker 4: If if they have a quarterback, you feel differitely about them, right, 936 00:44:28,280 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 4: But they just don't have a quarterback right now. They 937 00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:33,880 Speaker 4: don't have someone they trust every single play. They have 938 00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:37,879 Speaker 4: enough guys they can make plays, you know, sparingly enough. 939 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:40,000 Speaker 4: If you play good defensive game and you run the football. 940 00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:44,960 Speaker 4: The offhense line hasn't been as good, so it is us. 941 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,680 Speaker 4: That's the concern, is that they just, you know, quarterback 942 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,359 Speaker 4: offensive line just not as good. 943 00:44:49,520 --> 00:44:49,839 Speaker 3: All right. 944 00:44:49,880 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 2: Alabama on the road against Mississippi State fifteen and a 945 00:44:52,480 --> 00:44:57,200 Speaker 2: half point favorites too much with a team with a 946 00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,920 Speaker 2: very questionable offense Missippi State. 947 00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:04,040 Speaker 4: I mean, road games are very hard, so I would 948 00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:06,680 Speaker 4: typically lean to taking the road team and the points here. 949 00:45:06,719 --> 00:45:08,880 Speaker 4: I mean the home team and the points here. Mississippi 950 00:45:08,880 --> 00:45:12,800 Speaker 4: State is not terribly good. I mean they beat Southern 951 00:45:12,840 --> 00:45:15,360 Speaker 4: I'm looking right now, Southeast Louisiana and Arizona and overtime 952 00:45:15,400 --> 00:45:17,960 Speaker 4: Arizona through five interceptions in that game. You had to 953 00:45:17,960 --> 00:45:21,080 Speaker 4: beat him overtime, lost to LS. You lost to South Carolina. 954 00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:24,680 Speaker 4: If Alabama plays their game, then I think they're gonna 955 00:45:24,680 --> 00:45:29,160 Speaker 4: be fine. But you know, as always with college football, 956 00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,160 Speaker 4: you have to look at the next week, right because 957 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,960 Speaker 4: an MS Alabama goes to A and M. And I 958 00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:38,160 Speaker 4: think there's always a thought of the look at situation. Right, 959 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:39,520 Speaker 4: you're on the road. You know you have a big 960 00:45:39,600 --> 00:45:41,880 Speaker 4: road game next weekend. Is there a little bit of flatness? 961 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 4: Which is always with always college football? Right, That's the 962 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,200 Speaker 4: thing about college football. You just have these emotional spots. 963 00:45:46,239 --> 00:45:50,239 Speaker 4: These are young kids playing football, right, so emotions play 964 00:45:50,239 --> 00:45:50,840 Speaker 4: a big part of it. 965 00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:52,719 Speaker 2: All right, I want to ask about another game'm and 966 00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:54,680 Speaker 2: to get our listeners in on this because I know 967 00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:56,520 Speaker 2: they want to play a little action here thanks to 968 00:45:56,640 --> 00:45:59,880 Speaker 2: Jeff Notre Dame of Duke. All right, So Duke is 969 00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:03,440 Speaker 2: un defeated, ranked seventeenth right now, they haven't had this 970 00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:06,680 Speaker 2: kind of record and oh, I don't know forever at 971 00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,520 Speaker 2: this point of the season. Notre Dame, I want to 972 00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:11,960 Speaker 2: get your thoughts on how that Ohio State game ended. 973 00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,520 Speaker 2: Ryan Day was going nutso after that game, by the way, 974 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 2: Sam Hartman. Obviously, my my Name's Sake is having a 975 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 2: Heisman type season, but the loss obviously heard him. 976 00:46:23,600 --> 00:46:25,920 Speaker 3: So where are you with Notre Dame. What did you 977 00:46:26,040 --> 00:46:27,879 Speaker 3: make of that Notre Dame Ohio State game? 978 00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:32,799 Speaker 4: Well, you know, if you're a Notre Dame, I think 979 00:46:32,840 --> 00:46:34,680 Speaker 4: you're just kicking yourself in the butt, right. I mean, 980 00:46:34,920 --> 00:46:37,080 Speaker 4: you had ten guys in the field for the final 981 00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:39,960 Speaker 4: two plays. And by the way, Steve that last play 982 00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:43,520 Speaker 4: of the game, they almost got him down with they 983 00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,600 Speaker 4: almost got him down with just ten guys in the field. 984 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:50,560 Speaker 4: He bade it by half of football. Yeah, and then 985 00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:51,920 Speaker 4: you look at the other plays like the you know, 986 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,959 Speaker 4: third and nineteen you give a first down, Just little 987 00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,759 Speaker 4: things like that where you're like, man, like, we had 988 00:46:57,760 --> 00:47:00,440 Speaker 4: a chance to win this game. And so I think 989 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:04,160 Speaker 4: if you head into tonight's game thinking to yourself, Okay, 990 00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:07,279 Speaker 4: we were good. We should it be the Ohio State. 991 00:47:07,360 --> 00:47:10,200 Speaker 4: Let's not make the same mistakes again, I think you're fine. Something. 992 00:47:10,200 --> 00:47:12,680 Speaker 4: You're better than Duke. Now, obviously it's a game day game. 993 00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,800 Speaker 4: There's a lot of attention tonight in Durham. You know, 994 00:47:15,880 --> 00:47:19,400 Speaker 4: Duke's biggest game under Mike Elco obviously, and so I 995 00:47:19,520 --> 00:47:22,759 Speaker 4: think that there's, you know, obviously a possibility of an 996 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:25,000 Speaker 4: upset at all times. But I mean I think that 997 00:47:25,239 --> 00:47:28,560 Speaker 4: to me, not Dame should take care of business tonight. 998 00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:30,719 Speaker 4: I'm not sure I bet them minus the five or 999 00:47:31,080 --> 00:47:32,040 Speaker 4: five and a half, whatever it is. 1000 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:32,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, five and a half. 1001 00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 4: Ye don't feel comfortable doing that, But yeah I am not. 1002 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,000 Speaker 4: I'm not as high on Duke in this game as 1003 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,640 Speaker 4: I think I think there. Dame knows they're good. They 1004 00:47:43,719 --> 00:47:46,279 Speaker 4: just made a couple of dumb errors and Yale and 1005 00:47:46,520 --> 00:47:47,839 Speaker 4: just you know, blew the game. 1006 00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:51,600 Speaker 2: By the way, Mississippi scored again. Jackson Dard after that 1007 00:47:51,719 --> 00:47:54,960 Speaker 2: tough game against Alabama, big bounce back this week. Fourteen 1008 00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,359 Speaker 2: of seventeen, one hundred and seventy three yards, three touchdowns 1009 00:47:58,440 --> 00:48:03,080 Speaker 2: and no picks. It's good balance today. Seventeen carries, seventeen passes, 1010 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:05,759 Speaker 2: eight minutes to go here in the half, an old 1011 00:48:05,840 --> 00:48:08,960 Speaker 2: miss offense. There was a no show against Alabama. I 1012 00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:11,840 Speaker 2: mean that talks about that Alabama defense showing up a 1013 00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 2: big way against an LSU team. I know Jayden Daniels 1014 00:48:15,520 --> 00:48:20,000 Speaker 2: very high on him, but LSU doesn't look like the 1015 00:48:20,160 --> 00:48:22,759 Speaker 2: team A lot of people thought they were going to 1016 00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:24,040 Speaker 2: be before the season began. 1017 00:48:24,200 --> 00:48:26,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm a little surprised, to be honest with you. 1018 00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:30,480 Speaker 4: But a couple a couple of things to note about them, right, 1019 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:33,279 Speaker 4: you know, returning production is something that we look at 1020 00:48:33,480 --> 00:48:36,480 Speaker 4: when you preview a season, right And LSU had lost 1021 00:48:36,520 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 4: a lot on defense, especially in the secondary, and they 1022 00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,200 Speaker 4: brought in a bunch of new players on that side 1023 00:48:40,200 --> 00:48:42,799 Speaker 4: of the ball, and and so you wonder, you know, again, 1024 00:48:42,880 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 4: this is you know, the portal is you can again 1025 00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,719 Speaker 4: you can add the in the portal, and I think 1026 00:48:46,760 --> 00:48:49,200 Speaker 4: it's you can make some additions like that, but it's 1027 00:48:49,239 --> 00:48:51,640 Speaker 4: just hard at times to have a lot of one 1028 00:48:51,719 --> 00:48:54,239 Speaker 4: position come from the portal. And I think that that's 1029 00:48:54,280 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 4: happening right now LSU and on their back and their secondary, 1030 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,080 Speaker 4: they're just they're just not talent as they were last season, 1031 00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 4: and it's it's hurting their ability to you know too. Yeah, 1032 00:49:02,960 --> 00:49:04,359 Speaker 4: that I'm looking at it. Right now. They have one, two, 1033 00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:09,080 Speaker 4: three of six transfers on defense, including three of their 1034 00:49:09,160 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 4: five you know most you know, most important secondary players. 1035 00:49:12,000 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 4: So and then there they're backups on the secondary. Four 1036 00:49:14,680 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 4: of them are transfer portal players. They basically made their 1037 00:49:16,520 --> 00:49:19,799 Speaker 4: whole their whole secondary up of portal players. Sometimes those 1038 00:49:19,800 --> 00:49:23,000 Speaker 4: guys are aren't as good man, you know, And this 1039 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:24,879 Speaker 4: is what we're seeing right now. All right, I want 1040 00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:26,759 Speaker 4: twenty eight points for Old miss And what in the 1041 00:49:27,520 --> 00:49:30,759 Speaker 4: twenty was that twenty six minutest. 1042 00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:33,480 Speaker 2: I mean, that's a big bounce back after completely being 1043 00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:37,120 Speaker 2: shut down by Alabama a week ago. So Jackson Dart 1044 00:49:37,239 --> 00:49:39,200 Speaker 2: is on fire right now as they're up twenty eight 1045 00:49:39,239 --> 00:49:41,360 Speaker 2: to fourteen. All right, one other game and on the 1046 00:49:41,440 --> 00:49:42,759 Speaker 2: other side, we're going to get to some of these 1047 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,640 Speaker 2: NFL games, Jeff. But let's talk about this PAC twelve matchup. 1048 00:49:45,680 --> 00:49:47,799 Speaker 2: He gave us a little sneak peek about we're going 1049 00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:51,200 Speaker 2: to find out how good Washington is as they head 1050 00:49:51,280 --> 00:49:55,279 Speaker 2: into Tucson to take on a three and one Arizona team. Again, 1051 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:58,960 Speaker 2: Michael Pennix Junior has had He's averaging well over four 1052 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:02,960 Speaker 2: hundred yards pas seeing per game and four touchdowns per game. 1053 00:50:03,080 --> 00:50:06,400 Speaker 2: He is absolutely on fire right now. But why do 1054 00:50:06,480 --> 00:50:09,200 Speaker 2: you believe Arizona, who by the way, is a nineteen 1055 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:13,160 Speaker 2: point dog at home, could present a different challenge for 1056 00:50:13,239 --> 00:50:13,840 Speaker 2: the Huskies. 1057 00:50:14,760 --> 00:50:17,319 Speaker 4: Well, it's to me, it's just about, you know, offensively, 1058 00:50:18,719 --> 00:50:23,120 Speaker 4: Arizona can can drive the ball. Now, they're interesting. Right now, 1059 00:50:23,160 --> 00:50:26,120 Speaker 4: they're about twenty fifth in yards per drive, right, so 1060 00:50:26,200 --> 00:50:28,919 Speaker 4: how many yards they gain on individual drive, But they're 1061 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:31,960 Speaker 4: in the high sixties for points per drive. Right, Typically 1062 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:33,919 Speaker 4: that's more correlator R. If you're twenty fifth in yards 1063 00:50:33,960 --> 00:50:36,319 Speaker 4: per drive, you know you're near twenty five for points 1064 00:50:36,360 --> 00:50:38,880 Speaker 4: for points per drive. That's typically how it works. But 1065 00:50:38,960 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 4: they haven't put the ball in the end zone. They've 1066 00:50:40,680 --> 00:50:43,160 Speaker 4: had turnovers and kind of weirdness. Now they're starting corporates 1067 00:50:43,160 --> 00:50:45,719 Speaker 4: out tonight, Jane Dolaora. But the young kid came in 1068 00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:48,400 Speaker 4: last week and played well. He was college teammates with 1069 00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:52,920 Speaker 4: a couple of the of the Arizona wide receivers. Also too, 1070 00:50:54,160 --> 00:50:57,239 Speaker 4: it's hard to play your first conference road game, Like, 1071 00:50:57,360 --> 00:50:59,960 Speaker 4: look look around college foro ball this year. Organ right now, 1072 00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:02,080 Speaker 4: I was down three nothing, it's about to be six nothing. 1073 00:51:02,440 --> 00:51:05,560 Speaker 4: Look at Florida State, go on the road at Boston College, right, Like, 1074 00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,640 Speaker 4: it's hard to play these games. And those are two examples. 1075 00:51:09,040 --> 00:51:11,880 Speaker 4: USC on the road at Colorado, it's hard to Colorado 1076 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:15,080 Speaker 4: on the road to Oregon. It's hard to play those 1077 00:51:15,400 --> 00:51:19,080 Speaker 4: those kind of first you know, those first road games 1078 00:51:19,160 --> 00:51:21,799 Speaker 4: in conference and tonight's Arizona's read out, and they got 1079 00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:23,200 Speaker 4: a lot of people there. So I just think I 1080 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:26,600 Speaker 4: think Washing wins comfortably. But I think Arizona covers this game, 1081 00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:30,440 Speaker 4: you know, you know, forty five thirty one type of thing. 1082 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:34,200 Speaker 2: All right, So Arizona plus nineteen at home, I would 1083 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:37,440 Speaker 2: agree with you on that. You know, people sort of underplay, 1084 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,440 Speaker 2: you know, and it's gonna be a big crowd out there. 1085 00:51:40,440 --> 00:51:42,360 Speaker 2: I mean, they're gonna be you know, this is a 1086 00:51:42,480 --> 00:51:46,279 Speaker 2: decent Arizona team. Washington obviously brings a lot of star 1087 00:51:46,440 --> 00:51:50,200 Speaker 2: power out there. I just gotta believe. But again, if 1088 00:51:50,239 --> 00:51:52,720 Speaker 2: we walk away with a you know, like a forty 1089 00:51:52,840 --> 00:51:56,920 Speaker 2: five to fourteen Washing the blowout, then what are we 1090 00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,879 Speaker 2: looking at the Huskies in a next level way? 1091 00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 4: I think so? But also too, you know, Oregon and 1092 00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:05,960 Speaker 4: Washington play in two weeks. That both teams have a 1093 00:52:06,040 --> 00:52:09,080 Speaker 4: bye next week, and so we'll know more about both 1094 00:52:09,160 --> 00:52:09,879 Speaker 4: these teams, all. 1095 00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:11,239 Speaker 3: Right, where are you gonna watch after? Where are you 1096 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:11,759 Speaker 3: watch that. 1097 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 4: Game from home? We'll know more about those teams, you know, 1098 00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:17,799 Speaker 4: as we as we get you know, as we get 1099 00:52:17,840 --> 00:52:21,640 Speaker 4: to that game. So yeah, Organza six to nothing. They've 1100 00:52:21,640 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 4: had three plays in Stanford TI twenty six tells you 1101 00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:25,960 Speaker 4: I where we are right now. 1102 00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:28,960 Speaker 2: All right, So Oregon, number nine in the country, shut 1103 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:31,840 Speaker 2: out in the first quarter. Stanford just got their second 1104 00:52:31,960 --> 00:52:35,000 Speaker 2: field goal. So just underway in the second quarter, Stanford 1105 00:52:35,080 --> 00:52:38,520 Speaker 2: a team again that lost to Sacramento State, leading number 1106 00:52:38,600 --> 00:52:40,880 Speaker 2: nine Oregon by a score of six to nothing. All right, 1107 00:52:40,920 --> 00:52:42,600 Speaker 2: coming up on the other side, we're gonna get to 1108 00:52:42,680 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 2: some of the NFL action that's gonna go on tomorrow. 1109 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,800 Speaker 2: I want to get obviously Jeff's thoughts on these games. 1110 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:52,919 Speaker 2: Overreaction goes both ways. The question was this going into 1111 00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,439 Speaker 2: this week?

Steve Harbin, Jeff 1140 00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:09,799 Speaker 2: Schwartz with you. We're alive from the tay Iraq dot 1141 00:54:09,880 --> 00:54:14,440 Speaker 2: Com studios. Well, one thing about the NFL, and we 1142 00:54:14,560 --> 00:54:18,000 Speaker 2: know week to week what happens one week has no 1143 00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 2: bearing on the next none, and so it's always a 1144 00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:25,360 Speaker 2: question each week, as I'm sure you sit down and 1145 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:28,280 Speaker 2: try to make your picks, Jeff, to try to evaluate 1146 00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:31,880 Speaker 2: what you can take away from a game that actually 1147 00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:36,120 Speaker 2: has substance moving forward and what can be thrown into 1148 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 2: the trash can, and so we had this insanely unique 1149 00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,680 Speaker 2: matchup between the Dolphins and the Broncos that resulted in 1150 00:54:42,760 --> 00:54:47,120 Speaker 2: a seventy to twenty score in which the Dolphins became 1151 00:54:47,200 --> 00:54:49,080 Speaker 2: the first team ever to have at least seventy points 1152 00:54:49,160 --> 00:54:53,520 Speaker 2: and seven hundred total yards in the same game. Denver 1153 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:57,120 Speaker 2: apparently was maybe they thought it was against the rules 1154 00:54:57,160 --> 00:55:02,239 Speaker 2: to tackle anybody. It was such a atrocious defensive performance. 1155 00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,480 Speaker 2: And yet on the other side, and let me throw 1156 00:55:05,480 --> 00:55:07,560 Speaker 2: out a number here, because I know you're big Chiefs guy. 1157 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:11,120 Speaker 2: So when the Chiefs in twenty nineteen season won the 1158 00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:13,480 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, it had been fifty years since they had 1159 00:55:13,520 --> 00:55:16,399 Speaker 2: won their first Super Bowl. Well, if the Dolphins won 1160 00:55:16,440 --> 00:55:19,239 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl this year, it'll be fifty years since 1161 00:55:19,280 --> 00:55:21,279 Speaker 2: they won their last Super Bowl in the back to 1162 00:55:21,400 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 2: back of seventy two and seventy three. So a lot 1163 00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:27,640 Speaker 2: of people are suddenly jumping on the Dolphins bandwagon. 1164 00:55:27,719 --> 00:55:29,840 Speaker 3: They can't be stopped. They got too much speed on 1165 00:55:29,920 --> 00:55:30,879 Speaker 3: both sides of the ball. 1166 00:55:31,320 --> 00:55:34,279 Speaker 2: Tua, who was sixteen of sixteen over two hundred yards 1167 00:55:34,360 --> 00:55:37,120 Speaker 2: of the first half, is certainly clicking, looking like the 1168 00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,400 Speaker 2: quarterback A lot of people predicted he was going to 1169 00:55:39,440 --> 00:55:43,480 Speaker 2: be during his Alabama career projecting to the NFL. So 1170 00:55:43,920 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 2: what is closer to the truth how good the Dolphins 1171 00:55:48,160 --> 00:55:51,919 Speaker 2: were or how bad the Broncos were in that game. 1172 00:55:54,360 --> 00:55:58,400 Speaker 4: So it's a little bit of both. The Dolphins scored 1173 00:56:00,920 --> 00:56:06,799 Speaker 4: scorts ten offensive touchdowns, yep, and it was I mean 1174 00:56:06,880 --> 00:56:08,520 Speaker 4: they just there was a play where the Broncos had 1175 00:56:08,600 --> 00:56:10,200 Speaker 4: seven guys on the ground I know if you saw 1176 00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:13,760 Speaker 4: that playing on Twitter at the screenshot. So either Dolphins 1177 00:56:14,320 --> 00:56:16,560 Speaker 4: just had him in a blender man like the Broncos 1178 00:56:16,640 --> 00:56:20,080 Speaker 4: just didn't know where the ball was. The Broncos offense, 1179 00:56:20,080 --> 00:56:22,800 Speaker 4: I mean defense hasn't played terribly well. And then on 1180 00:56:22,880 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 4: the flip side, you know, I think the Dolphins defense 1181 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,080 Speaker 4: is okay this year. I thought they'd be a little 1182 00:56:27,120 --> 00:56:29,359 Speaker 4: bit better. The Broncos just don't score in the second 1183 00:56:29,360 --> 00:56:31,080 Speaker 4: half of games. If you look throughout their three games, 1184 00:56:31,080 --> 00:56:34,640 Speaker 4: they haven't done that. So but to me, like you said, 1185 00:56:34,760 --> 00:56:38,200 Speaker 4: like I look at this game and say, the Dolphins 1186 00:56:38,239 --> 00:56:44,560 Speaker 4: are very fast, They're very coordinated with the schemes they 1187 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:45,920 Speaker 4: want to run and how they want to get those 1188 00:56:45,960 --> 00:56:50,120 Speaker 4: athletes in the space and moving forward, the takeaway is 1189 00:56:50,560 --> 00:56:54,080 Speaker 4: who on defense can hit Tua Because if you can 1190 00:56:54,160 --> 00:56:57,000 Speaker 4: hit Tua, you force them off as spot, You get 1191 00:56:57,080 --> 00:56:59,040 Speaker 4: him into some pressure situations and he maybe he can't 1192 00:56:59,040 --> 00:57:01,720 Speaker 4: throw the ball on time, right like, so can Buffalo 1193 00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,440 Speaker 4: hit to it? Can they win on first down? Get 1194 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,120 Speaker 4: second down and the long, get third and long and 1195 00:57:06,160 --> 00:57:08,880 Speaker 4: get after Tua. That's how you're gonna stop this offense. 1196 00:57:10,560 --> 00:57:13,520 Speaker 2: You look at the matchups for both these teams this week, 1197 00:57:13,760 --> 00:57:17,080 Speaker 2: it's perfect, right. I mean, the Broncos look like the 1198 00:57:17,200 --> 00:57:20,160 Speaker 2: worst team ever and they're playing the worst team ever 1199 00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:22,400 Speaker 2: in the Bears. I mean this, who knows, this could 1200 00:57:22,400 --> 00:57:24,760 Speaker 2: be a battle for Caleb Williams here. And then meanwhile, 1201 00:57:24,800 --> 00:57:28,520 Speaker 2: the Dolphins, as great as they look, head into Buffalo 1202 00:57:28,840 --> 00:57:31,040 Speaker 2: and the Bills look pretty good the last couple of weeks. 1203 00:57:31,040 --> 00:57:35,400 Speaker 2: Suddenly we're seeing Josh Allen revert the form, so you 1204 00:57:35,480 --> 00:57:37,320 Speaker 2: know you again. Buffalo is a two and a half 1205 00:57:37,360 --> 00:57:39,720 Speaker 2: point favorite at home against the Dolphins. Broncos are three 1206 00:57:39,760 --> 00:57:42,080 Speaker 2: and a half point favorites on the road against the Bears. 1207 00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:44,800 Speaker 2: That's why I'm saying what do you take away from 1208 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:48,280 Speaker 2: last week and trying to figure out their position in 1209 00:57:48,480 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 2: this week's games. 1210 00:57:50,280 --> 00:57:53,880 Speaker 4: The Broncos are the Dolphins either one well, so again, 1211 00:57:53,880 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 4: I told you the Dolphins. I think that the position 1212 00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:58,440 Speaker 4: is like they're fast and they know how to use 1213 00:57:58,440 --> 00:57:59,160 Speaker 4: their fast players. 1214 00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:00,560 Speaker 3: How does that work again, Buffalo? 1215 00:58:01,400 --> 00:58:03,760 Speaker 4: I think it works great. To me, it depends on 1216 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 4: like Kim Buffalo, hit the passer. It's not what they 1217 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,440 Speaker 4: do best at all times. Can they hit the passer? 1218 00:58:08,840 --> 00:58:10,840 Speaker 4: Can they score enough points to keep up with with 1219 00:58:11,320 --> 00:58:13,520 Speaker 4: with Miami? Right, Like, that's part of this equation as 1220 00:58:13,560 --> 00:58:15,080 Speaker 4: well as if Miami's gonna score in the thirties, you 1221 00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:16,960 Speaker 4: have to also scorn her in the thirties. 1222 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:18,160 Speaker 3: Can I slay down for a second. 1223 00:58:18,280 --> 00:58:21,000 Speaker 2: What is the Bills answer to Tyreek Hill, who, by 1224 00:58:21,040 --> 00:58:23,000 Speaker 2: the way, is well on his way to what he 1225 00:58:23,120 --> 00:58:25,520 Speaker 2: hopes will be the first two thousand yard receiving season. 1226 00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:32,680 Speaker 4: Ever, the answer is pressuring to a There's no like 1227 00:58:33,240 --> 00:58:35,040 Speaker 4: answer where you say like, oh, this is it man, 1228 00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:36,880 Speaker 4: this is the guy like they don't have I guess 1229 00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,840 Speaker 4: maybe White is the guy you put on man and man, 1230 00:58:39,920 --> 00:58:43,200 Speaker 4: but I would you can't really man to man Tyreek 1231 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:45,720 Speaker 4: Hill because the Dolphins offense the way they set everything 1232 00:58:45,800 --> 00:58:50,160 Speaker 4: up like man to man is just you just you're 1233 00:58:50,160 --> 00:58:53,240 Speaker 4: gonna get torched. So you have to sit back and 1234 00:58:53,360 --> 00:58:55,600 Speaker 4: you have to find ways to get after Tua. That's 1235 00:58:55,600 --> 00:58:59,720 Speaker 4: how you slow down Tyreek Hill because with Wattle being back, 1236 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:02,080 Speaker 4: if you if a double Tyreek Hill, Wattle's open and 1237 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,480 Speaker 4: to us finding so many different ways to get the 1238 00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:08,280 Speaker 4: ball in different weapons hands and Mike McDaniel obviously calling 1239 00:59:08,280 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 4: the plays that way. So the answer is hit two, 1240 00:59:12,040 --> 00:59:14,040 Speaker 4: which is very simple. But also on the other side, 1241 00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:15,640 Speaker 4: like you got to score a bunch of points, right, 1242 00:59:15,720 --> 00:59:17,440 Speaker 4: you have to keep up with them, And so I 1243 00:59:17,480 --> 00:59:19,760 Speaker 4: think that there's that you know, the Buffalos got you 1244 00:59:19,840 --> 00:59:21,840 Speaker 4: have in their mind. You know, we're going on four 1245 00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:25,040 Speaker 4: on fourth down, like we're just you know, we're just 1246 00:59:25,160 --> 00:59:29,440 Speaker 4: going to continue to to be aggressive, be aggressive, be aggressive, 1247 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:33,040 Speaker 4: be aggressive, and find ways to score points, score points, 1248 00:59:33,040 --> 00:59:33,560 Speaker 4: score points. 1249 00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:35,760 Speaker 3: Can I ask you a question about Kayleb Williams. 1250 00:59:35,760 --> 00:59:38,280 Speaker 2: So you know all this noise about Arizona before the 1251 00:59:38,360 --> 00:59:41,080 Speaker 2: season being by far the worst team. I mean their 1252 00:59:41,160 --> 00:59:43,560 Speaker 2: overrunner and wins was four and a half. Every other 1253 00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:45,680 Speaker 2: team was at least six and a half. Well, they 1254 00:59:45,720 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 2: don't look as bad, not nearly as bad as the Bears. 1255 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,080 Speaker 2: And a lot of people are talking about Kayleb Williams 1256 00:59:52,160 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 2: because he does have another year of eligibility if he doesn't, 1257 00:59:56,960 --> 00:59:58,840 Speaker 2: you know, like the team that's sitting there with the 1258 00:59:58,920 --> 01:00:01,200 Speaker 2: number one overall pick they decided, you know what, I'm 1259 01:00:01,240 --> 01:00:03,920 Speaker 2: good at USC. I mean, if you think things were 1260 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:09,080 Speaker 2: bad in Arizona Bears, that's been a graveyard for quarterbacks forever. 1261 01:00:10,440 --> 01:00:12,200 Speaker 3: And I'm just wondering. 1262 01:00:12,320 --> 01:00:14,600 Speaker 2: I mean, I mean, I don't know the exact dollar 1263 01:00:14,640 --> 01:00:17,360 Speaker 2: amount that Caleb Williams is making. I signed an interview 1264 01:00:17,440 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 2: he did with Matt Lionert talking about three national commercials. 1265 01:00:20,880 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 3: I'll put it. I'll put it this way. 1266 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,960 Speaker 2: He's in between five and eight million dollars this year 1267 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:28,280 Speaker 2: at USC. Another year could take it to the next level. 1268 01:00:28,880 --> 01:00:31,800 Speaker 2: Do you think there is any chance at all that 1269 01:00:31,920 --> 01:00:34,920 Speaker 2: if Caleb Williams is not happy with the team sitting 1270 01:00:34,960 --> 01:00:38,040 Speaker 2: atop the board in the draft, that he would return 1271 01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:39,520 Speaker 2: for another season at USC. 1272 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 4: No, Because here's here, here's why. The team the next 1273 01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:48,960 Speaker 4: year is gonna be a bad football team too. Who 1274 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,640 Speaker 4: has the first pick? Yeah, the team after that is 1275 01:00:51,680 --> 01:00:54,520 Speaker 4: also a bad football team. Like it's like you can't 1276 01:00:54,680 --> 01:00:56,080 Speaker 4: if you just say I'm gonna way for good football 1277 01:00:56,080 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 4: team at the first pick in the draft. But also too, 1278 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:02,040 Speaker 4: like you don't know, like, let's say it is Chicago 1279 01:01:02,400 --> 01:01:05,240 Speaker 4: and let's say for some reason they want Justin Fields 1280 01:01:05,240 --> 01:01:09,120 Speaker 4: to stay as their quarterback. I doubt it. You know, 1281 01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:12,360 Speaker 4: then maybe someone traces the number one. It's a team 1282 01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,560 Speaker 4: that that that you want to go to. Right, It's like, 1283 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:16,960 Speaker 4: you can't just assume I think they're gonna be just 1284 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 4: number sitting there. I think you have a general idea 1285 01:01:19,800 --> 01:01:22,240 Speaker 4: of yeah, it's partly be the Bears, but the Bear's 1286 01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:24,480 Speaker 4: gonna fire their coach too. So what if they bring 1287 01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:28,640 Speaker 4: in Ben Johnson, the Lions offensive coordinator and then now 1288 01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:30,920 Speaker 4: obviously he'll know all this before he would decide to 1289 01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:34,160 Speaker 4: come out or not. That to me is a good pairing. 1290 01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:37,240 Speaker 4: Look what Ben Johnson do with Jared Goff. Right, So 1291 01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,080 Speaker 4: I think you come out and you also, I think 1292 01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,160 Speaker 4: if you're good enough, like you, like if you're Caleb Williams, 1293 01:01:42,560 --> 01:01:44,800 Speaker 4: you know that the team might acquiesce and say, okay, 1294 01:01:45,400 --> 01:01:48,400 Speaker 4: we're gonna end up. You know, we're gonna we're gonna 1295 01:01:48,600 --> 01:01:50,920 Speaker 4: get your quarter you know, the the the coach you 1296 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:52,880 Speaker 4: want at some point, and maybe that coach is Lincoln 1297 01:01:52,960 --> 01:01:54,720 Speaker 4: Riley at some point. I don't know. I think that 1298 01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:57,520 Speaker 4: that they would figure it out for kayleb Wolle. 1299 01:01:57,360 --> 01:02:01,080 Speaker 2: As long as you don't bring along as defensive coordinator. Correct, 1300 01:02:01,240 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 2: Why hasn't he made a change? You know, Chip Kelly 1301 01:02:03,480 --> 01:02:07,160 Speaker 2: did the same thing right for years. You know, they 1302 01:02:07,240 --> 01:02:08,960 Speaker 2: have a certain loyalty to certain guys. 1303 01:02:09,440 --> 01:02:11,800 Speaker 4: Chips defenses were never as bad, but he did have 1304 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:16,040 Speaker 4: Jerry as an RO for like ten years. Yeah, uh, 1305 01:02:16,160 --> 01:02:18,800 Speaker 4: so that was that was always always an issue I 1306 01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:22,680 Speaker 4: think with h with uh with with Chips with Chips defenses. 1307 01:02:23,040 --> 01:02:25,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, well, especially when he got to UCLA and the defense. 1308 01:02:25,600 --> 01:02:27,840 Speaker 2: You know, we just cough up games over and over 1309 01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,600 Speaker 2: and over again. It was an absolute embarrassment. All right, 1310 01:02:30,960 --> 01:02:33,600 Speaker 2: let's find out what it is trending right now as 1311 01:02:33,920 --> 01:02:34,800 Speaker 2: Nick is back. 1312 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:35,640 Speaker 9: Uh. 1313 01:02:35,920 --> 01:02:38,200 Speaker 3: Defensively, UCLA much better this year now. 1314 01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:41,160 Speaker 8: Yeah, they've been really fun to watch flying around.

Steve Harbin, Jeff Shortz with you. 1398 01:06:30,680 --> 01:06:34,680 Speaker 2: Where you're coming live from the tire rack dot Com studio. 1399 01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:36,040 Speaker 3: So yeah, they're putting in yeah. 1400 01:06:36,120 --> 01:06:38,800 Speaker 4: Very quickly. This is the last weekend of baseball, right, like, yes, 1401 01:06:39,400 --> 01:06:40,240 Speaker 4: baseball ending. 1402 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:42,560 Speaker 3: Well, first of all, your manager got fired. So how 1403 01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,520 Speaker 3: did you feel about Gabe Kapler getting fired? 1404 01:06:46,680 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 4: The platoon sas only fun when you win. 1405 01:06:49,160 --> 01:06:51,240 Speaker 3: Well, I mean they were looking pretty good. 1406 01:06:51,160 --> 01:06:54,040 Speaker 4: There, you know, for a while, because they have you 1407 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 4: need just like an Emmy sport, you need good bait, 1408 01:06:57,640 --> 01:06:59,840 Speaker 4: you need good players. So Giants don't have good players. 1409 01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 3: Is that his fault? 1410 01:07:01,840 --> 01:07:03,680 Speaker 4: No, it's not his fault. But what happens is I 1411 01:07:03,760 --> 01:07:07,560 Speaker 4: think when you have a coach who's doing the platoon 1412 01:07:07,600 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 4: stuff right, Yeah, to such a degree where he takes 1413 01:07:10,280 --> 01:07:12,160 Speaker 4: out I was reading about this and I haven't watched 1414 01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:15,280 Speaker 4: it a month because they're so boring. You know, when 1415 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:17,320 Speaker 4: you take out Brandon Crawford or ninth any other game 1416 01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,520 Speaker 4: for to pinch it with like a triple a kid, 1417 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:22,800 Speaker 4: it's like, you know, when you don't win, that stuff 1418 01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:25,960 Speaker 4: I think really irks players, right when when you win, 1419 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,480 Speaker 4: you say, well, man, you know it's you know LaMonte 1420 01:07:29,600 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 4: Lamont Wade right is hitting eight penchion home runs. Great, 1421 01:07:32,800 --> 01:07:35,000 Speaker 4: let's have him, you know, be, you know, be the 1422 01:07:35,040 --> 01:07:37,720 Speaker 4: platoon guy will work because you know it worked because 1423 01:07:37,720 --> 01:07:40,840 Speaker 4: he hit eight home runs a pinchion home runs in 1424 01:07:40,920 --> 01:07:43,920 Speaker 4: twenty was it twenty twenty one? So like when the polute, 1425 01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:47,280 Speaker 4: when the platoon stuff is not working, I think players 1426 01:07:47,400 --> 01:07:49,160 Speaker 4: just go really tired of it, and it's just hard 1427 01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:51,960 Speaker 4: to buy into the manager when he's doing all those 1428 01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 4: different things. 1429 01:07:52,480 --> 01:07:54,160 Speaker 2: Well, if you're going to throw out a story, how 1430 01:07:54,160 --> 01:07:56,600 Speaker 2: about the Baltimore Orioles. This is a team that lost 1431 01:07:56,680 --> 01:07:59,920 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifteen games in twenty eighteen, one hundred 1432 01:08:00,160 --> 01:08:04,080 Speaker 2: eight games in twenty nineteen, just two years ago, they 1433 01:08:04,160 --> 01:08:07,880 Speaker 2: were fifty two and one hundred and ten and they 1434 01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:09,400 Speaker 2: have the best wreck in the American League. They have 1435 01:08:09,520 --> 01:08:12,360 Speaker 2: one hundred wins this year. You go from one hundred 1436 01:08:12,360 --> 01:08:15,320 Speaker 2: and ten losses to one hundred win season and a 1437 01:08:15,440 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 2: two year span. It gives hope for all the bad 1438 01:08:18,080 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 2: teams out there. But you got to make all the 1439 01:08:20,240 --> 01:08:22,560 Speaker 2: right moves and they're drafting a player. And again this 1440 01:08:22,760 --> 01:08:24,920 Speaker 2: is this is the difference between a team like the 1441 01:08:25,040 --> 01:08:28,559 Speaker 2: Orioles and the Podres. The Podreys try to buy themselves 1442 01:08:28,680 --> 01:08:30,880 Speaker 2: a team that didn't even make the playoffs. In fact, 1443 01:08:30,920 --> 01:08:32,320 Speaker 2: this is the first time since I think it was 1444 01:08:32,360 --> 01:08:34,960 Speaker 2: two thousand and eight that the top three payrolls in 1445 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,000 Speaker 2: Major League Baseball all missed the playoffs, with the Yankees, Mets. 1446 01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:39,320 Speaker 3: And the Podras. 1447 01:08:39,760 --> 01:08:43,519 Speaker 2: But you know, we talk about it in every sport, 1448 01:08:43,880 --> 01:08:47,799 Speaker 2: like the NBA, like Denver built their core, right, Milwaukee 1449 01:08:47,880 --> 01:08:49,880 Speaker 2: had built their core. Now, of course, you know the 1450 01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,760 Speaker 2: whole Damian Lillard thing, but I mean that's the way 1451 01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:53,920 Speaker 2: to get a championship. 1452 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,599 Speaker 3: Adding pieces is great, but you got to have the core. 1453 01:08:58,200 --> 01:09:03,519 Speaker 4: And in every sport, yeah, it really does feel if 1454 01:09:03,560 --> 01:09:06,439 Speaker 4: you have a young catcher like like Adlie Rutchman. Yes, 1455 01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:09,320 Speaker 4: who you draft and develop that feels to be a 1456 01:09:09,400 --> 01:09:11,880 Speaker 4: staple of a lot of winning teams, right, mm, Like, 1457 01:09:12,160 --> 01:09:13,799 Speaker 4: you know, if you look at what at what Molina 1458 01:09:13,880 --> 01:09:16,960 Speaker 4: did for so many years for the Cardinals, Buster Posey 1459 01:09:17,200 --> 01:09:19,439 Speaker 4: for the Giants. Ye Like, when you have that young 1460 01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:22,720 Speaker 4: catcher who can do everything, it does feel like you 1461 01:09:22,800 --> 01:09:27,320 Speaker 4: have a chance to really like win a lot of 1462 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,599 Speaker 4: win a lot of games. Right. And I'm not saying 1463 01:09:30,600 --> 01:09:31,840 Speaker 4: you have to you have to always have that guy, 1464 01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,400 Speaker 4: but does feel like that that's a staple of programs 1465 01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,160 Speaker 4: or not programs, but teams that win year after year 1466 01:09:37,200 --> 01:09:37,599 Speaker 4: after year. 1467 01:09:37,720 --> 01:09:40,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, going back to the seventies, the Yankees said Thurman Munson, 1468 01:09:41,040 --> 01:09:43,120 Speaker 2: he was the core before they got the Reggie Jackson 1469 01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:46,599 Speaker 2: starts spending all the money they had this all star. 1470 01:09:46,840 --> 01:09:49,280 Speaker 2: I still think, you know, if you look at Thurman 1471 01:09:49,360 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 2: Munson's numbers with Buster Posey, they're identical, identical, same guy. 1472 01:09:54,680 --> 01:09:56,599 Speaker 2: And a lot of people say, oh, Buster Posey, he'll 1473 01:09:56,600 --> 01:09:58,840 Speaker 2: be first Bout Munson's not even in the Hall of Fame. 1474 01:09:59,040 --> 01:10:02,800 Speaker 2: I and I'm a big fan of both these guys, right, Yeah, 1475 01:10:02,840 --> 01:10:05,720 Speaker 2: but if Posey's in the Hall, and obviously Munson's career 1476 01:10:05,800 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 2: was cut short with you know, being killed in a 1477 01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:14,559 Speaker 2: tragic airplane crash. The same guy, same numbers, same career. 1478 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,439 Speaker 2: Crazy if you look at the numbers of those two guys. 1479 01:10:17,520 --> 01:10:20,280 Speaker 2: So all right, So there you got a little baseball talk. 1480 01:10:20,360 --> 01:10:22,400 Speaker 2: By the way, the Dodgers are an interesting team right 1481 01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:25,559 Speaker 2: only from this standpoint. They're trying to figure out they're 1482 01:10:25,600 --> 01:10:29,920 Speaker 2: pitching for the postseas. They lost all their pitching. They 1483 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,280 Speaker 2: got Kershaw. I guess they go with the kid Bobby 1484 01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:36,360 Speaker 2: Miller and lance Lynn. Lance Lynn is your number three 1485 01:10:36,439 --> 01:10:40,320 Speaker 2: star in the playoffs. The Braves look unstoppable right now. 1486 01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,120 Speaker 4: Yeah, the Braves feel like they're gonna be the World 1487 01:10:43,160 --> 01:10:44,120 Speaker 4: Service champions, aren't they? 1488 01:10:44,520 --> 01:10:45,240 Speaker 3: They are? 1489 01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:46,200 Speaker 7: What a year. 1490 01:10:46,479 --> 01:10:50,880 Speaker 2: I'm acunia, first guy to go forty seventy, first National 1491 01:10:50,920 --> 01:10:52,880 Speaker 2: League team ever to have three hundred home runs as 1492 01:10:52,920 --> 01:10:55,640 Speaker 2: a team, spent some good stories, and of course the 1493 01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,439 Speaker 2: Otani story is going to be the big story in 1494 01:10:57,479 --> 01:10:58,280 Speaker 2: the offseason. 1495 01:10:58,760 --> 01:11:00,200 Speaker 3: You know now that he has said. 1496 01:11:00,120 --> 01:11:02,280 Speaker 2: I'm not pitching next year, how would you handle that? 1497 01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:05,080 Speaker 2: With Otani saying, you know, I'm not pitching, I'll be 1498 01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,240 Speaker 2: back pitching in twenty twenty five, and you're trying to 1499 01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:10,800 Speaker 2: figure out signing this guy to a long term free 1500 01:11:10,840 --> 01:11:14,240 Speaker 2: agent contract. How's the bidding going to go? Because he's 1501 01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,840 Speaker 2: essentially a d H. Is what you're going to bid 1502 01:11:16,920 --> 01:11:20,640 Speaker 2: on for twenty twenty four? I think you have to 1503 01:11:20,760 --> 01:11:24,000 Speaker 2: really understand because the giants I think could be employee. 1504 01:11:24,640 --> 01:11:26,599 Speaker 4: Yeah, we're going to be the bridesmaid, as we always 1505 01:11:26,600 --> 01:11:28,639 Speaker 4: are with these with the last five years with any 1506 01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:32,840 Speaker 4: of these Phrasians is you know, you have to figure 1507 01:11:32,880 --> 01:11:35,360 Speaker 4: out if he really is going to pitch after the surgery, 1508 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:38,559 Speaker 4: because I think there's a chance that he just doesn't anymore. 1509 01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,800 Speaker 4: I always felt that at some point the pitching would 1510 01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,680 Speaker 4: come to an end just because of the wear and 1511 01:11:43,760 --> 01:11:44,400 Speaker 4: tearing your arm. 1512 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:47,240 Speaker 3: But his value is greater as a pitcher. There just 1513 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:49,320 Speaker 3: aren't that many elite pitchers. 1514 01:11:49,560 --> 01:11:51,840 Speaker 4: I understand that, but I think that when you're a 1515 01:11:51,880 --> 01:11:55,280 Speaker 4: two way player like that, it does feel like eventually, 1516 01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:57,679 Speaker 4: if you're picking or choosing, at some point in your career, 1517 01:11:58,200 --> 01:12:00,479 Speaker 4: you're just going to become a hitter full time time. Right, 1518 01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:03,840 Speaker 4: you can play longer doing that less arm injuries. This 1519 01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 4: is now his second elbow injury. Right, he had one 1520 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,599 Speaker 4: a couple of years ago. We'd take off four months 1521 01:12:07,680 --> 01:12:10,479 Speaker 4: right for a UCL injury. I don't think it was 1522 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,760 Speaker 4: a complete tear now it does. It just feels like 1523 01:12:14,160 --> 01:12:16,240 Speaker 4: eventually this was going to happen. So the question you 1524 01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:19,439 Speaker 4: have asked yourself if you're signing him is like, does 1525 01:12:19,520 --> 01:12:21,320 Speaker 4: he ever pitch again? Am I just signing to be 1526 01:12:21,360 --> 01:12:23,240 Speaker 4: a hitter or do I expect him or do I 1527 01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:25,000 Speaker 4: want him to come back and be a pitcher at 1528 01:12:25,040 --> 01:12:27,120 Speaker 4: some point? So I think that to me is kind 1529 01:12:27,120 --> 01:12:29,679 Speaker 4: of the question mark when it comes to signing o'tawny 1530 01:12:29,760 --> 01:12:31,640 Speaker 4: as you know, as what five hundred million dollars a 1531 01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:32,559 Speaker 4: million dollar deal. 1532 01:12:32,680 --> 01:12:35,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, and then of course all we'll talk about Trout 1533 01:12:35,240 --> 01:12:38,200 Speaker 2: and the problem with Mike Trout is the last four years. 1534 01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:38,639 Speaker 3: He's been hurt. 1535 01:12:38,920 --> 01:12:39,519 Speaker 4: Is never healthy? 1536 01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:42,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I mean, he just he's not playing anymore. 1537 01:12:42,920 --> 01:12:45,640 Speaker 2: And that contract, he has thirty seven million dollars a 1538 01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:48,640 Speaker 2: year for another six or seven years. I don't know 1539 01:12:48,680 --> 01:12:50,559 Speaker 2: if anyone's going to take that one on. All right, 1540 01:12:50,680 --> 01:12:52,760 Speaker 2: So we got a little baseball talk in, But on 1541 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:54,240 Speaker 2: the other side, we're going to get back to the 1542 01:12:54,320 --> 01:12:58,000 Speaker 2: football now.

Trying to pick 1601 01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:45,920 Speaker 2: games each week is is tough, and especially when you 1602 01:15:45,960 --> 01:15:49,160 Speaker 2: put it out there as you do Jeff, and you know, 1603 01:15:49,320 --> 01:15:53,280 Speaker 2: sometimes you hit a bull's eye and sometimes you're like, wow, 1604 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:58,800 Speaker 2: I did not see that happening. I'm gonna ask about 1605 01:15:58,800 --> 01:16:00,680 Speaker 2: a couple of games and then I want to get 1606 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:04,160 Speaker 2: maybe a pick because I don't want to spoil everything 1607 01:16:04,200 --> 01:16:06,600 Speaker 2: for tomorrow when people listening obviously for your picks. But 1608 01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:10,400 Speaker 2: I want to start with that Chiefs Jets game. So 1609 01:16:10,680 --> 01:16:13,920 Speaker 2: this is unfortunately the Sunday Night game. I mean, it 1610 01:16:14,120 --> 01:16:17,760 Speaker 2: has all the makings of just an absolute embarrassment. The 1611 01:16:17,880 --> 01:16:21,320 Speaker 2: Jets are horrible. Well, they have a horrible quarterback and 1612 01:16:21,439 --> 01:16:24,360 Speaker 2: Zach Wilson. There's no other way to describe how bad 1613 01:16:24,439 --> 01:16:28,160 Speaker 2: he is at quarterback. I mean they've talked about, you know, 1614 01:16:28,400 --> 01:16:32,439 Speaker 2: bringing quarterbacks back from the dead, that honestly would be 1615 01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:34,840 Speaker 2: better than Zach Wilson right now going against the best 1616 01:16:34,920 --> 01:16:37,479 Speaker 2: quarterback in the league and Patrick Mahomes. That being said, 1617 01:16:38,160 --> 01:16:42,080 Speaker 2: the Jets do have a defense, and they do potentially 1618 01:16:42,200 --> 01:16:44,639 Speaker 2: have a running game, but it's got to be balanced 1619 01:16:44,680 --> 01:16:47,280 Speaker 2: with some passing to get that running game going. Chiefs 1620 01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:50,080 Speaker 2: are a solid eight and a half point favorite on 1621 01:16:50,240 --> 01:16:56,080 Speaker 2: the road. Primetime home dogs usually perform well. Do you 1622 01:16:56,200 --> 01:17:00,000 Speaker 2: have a preference in this matchup Chiefs at the Jets. 1623 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:04,280 Speaker 4: I have a podcast called Bear Bets with Chris FeliCa. 1624 01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:07,840 Speaker 4: It's a Fox Sports podcast. My best bet for this 1625 01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:13,000 Speaker 4: week was or is Jets team total to the points 1626 01:17:13,040 --> 01:17:15,920 Speaker 4: they score for the game, and I have it under 1627 01:17:16,240 --> 01:17:18,559 Speaker 4: fifteen and a half. That's my bet for this game. 1628 01:17:20,560 --> 01:17:23,559 Speaker 2: By the way, if Zach Wilson continues on as the quarterback, 1629 01:17:23,600 --> 01:17:24,720 Speaker 2: would that be a safe bet? 1630 01:17:24,760 --> 01:17:25,599 Speaker 3: Almost every week? 1631 01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,639 Speaker 4: Probably, But the Chiefs defense is really good. They've allowed 1632 01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,880 Speaker 4: fourteen points, nine points, and ten points this season, yep, 1633 01:17:32,800 --> 01:17:36,120 Speaker 4: so like they're playing really well. This is the best 1634 01:17:36,160 --> 01:17:39,000 Speaker 4: defense Patrick Mahomes had in his career, and so I 1635 01:17:39,040 --> 01:17:42,080 Speaker 4: think that's also why I'm taking this pick is because 1636 01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:47,080 Speaker 4: of that, right, because they have, you know, the ability 1637 01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:49,200 Speaker 4: to shut down Zach Wilson, because they're good, and because 1638 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,680 Speaker 4: of Zach Wilson. This is a game that Chiefs have 1639 01:17:51,720 --> 01:17:55,240 Speaker 4: struggled on over the years on the road. Really good defense, 1640 01:17:55,360 --> 01:17:57,760 Speaker 4: you know, you know end up with you know, they'll 1641 01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:01,559 Speaker 4: score in the low twenties, but the Jets just won't 1642 01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,000 Speaker 4: be able to score in this game. I feel like 1643 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:05,200 Speaker 4: it's National TV, which I think if this is a 1644 01:18:05,240 --> 01:18:07,760 Speaker 4: one o'clock game, I feel really good about taking the 1645 01:18:07,800 --> 01:18:10,840 Speaker 4: Jets plus eight or nine. But on National TV it 1646 01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 4: tends to fire the Chiefs up a little bit. So 1647 01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:15,639 Speaker 4: I think it'd be pretty tough, I think, to take 1648 01:18:15,680 --> 01:18:17,000 Speaker 4: anyone but the Chiefs in this game. 1649 01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:18,880 Speaker 2: I look at one game now that we know that 1650 01:18:18,960 --> 01:18:21,639 Speaker 2: Jimmy Garoppolo is out for the Raiders and the potential 1651 01:18:21,720 --> 01:18:25,360 Speaker 2: of Brian Hoyer, if not Ada O'Connell going against a 1652 01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,280 Speaker 2: Charger team that honestly should have lost that game to 1653 01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:28,879 Speaker 2: the Vikings. 1654 01:18:29,600 --> 01:18:33,640 Speaker 3: He should have lost. I mean, when you go for 1655 01:18:33,800 --> 01:18:34,240 Speaker 3: it again. 1656 01:18:34,960 --> 01:18:41,160 Speaker 2: The Brandon Staley explanations for I mean, fourth and one 1657 01:18:41,400 --> 01:18:45,360 Speaker 2: at your own twenty four yard line with the lead. 1658 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:50,280 Speaker 2: I'm still trying to gather what his explanation was. After 1659 01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:53,000 Speaker 2: the game, it made no sense. Everyone just shakes his head. 1660 01:18:53,520 --> 01:18:56,040 Speaker 2: I don't know if the Chargers can overcome Brandon Staley, 1661 01:18:56,120 --> 01:18:59,160 Speaker 2: who in my opinion, is literally bottom of the barrel 1662 01:18:59,200 --> 01:19:01,120 Speaker 2: when it comes to coach is in the National Football 1663 01:19:01,200 --> 01:19:02,679 Speaker 2: League because they have a lot of talent. 1664 01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:06,760 Speaker 3: Mike Williams out for the year. But now that Garoppolo's 1665 01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,680 Speaker 3: out for the Raiders, Chargers line is only four and 1666 01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:11,840 Speaker 3: a half at home. 1667 01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,759 Speaker 2: Now it is going to be a solid Raider crowd 1668 01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,120 Speaker 2: at So if I promise you that it is going 1669 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:20,200 Speaker 2: to be silver and black everywhere, don't the Chargers seem 1670 01:19:20,280 --> 01:19:21,160 Speaker 2: like a good play here. 1671 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:25,360 Speaker 4: You have to trust the Chargers to do what they 1672 01:19:25,400 --> 01:19:28,080 Speaker 4: should do. That's the problem, right, like exactly like the 1673 01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:32,080 Speaker 4: Viking should have won that game. I would stay away 1674 01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:34,760 Speaker 4: from this game in a big way. You want to 1675 01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,519 Speaker 4: hit some some props maybe of some sort for some reason. 1676 01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:40,360 Speaker 4: That be my guest but Yike's Matt, I I would, 1677 01:19:40,479 --> 01:19:42,360 Speaker 4: I would, I would not touch this game at all. 1678 01:19:43,720 --> 01:19:47,439 Speaker 4: You know, the the NFL has a very weird way 1679 01:19:47,600 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 4: of going the opposite direction of conventional wisdom, right exactly. 1680 01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:53,800 Speaker 4: Conventional wisdom is is take the Chargers here. It just 1681 01:19:53,840 --> 01:19:57,519 Speaker 4: doesn't happen that much in the NFL. Yeah, look, can 1682 01:19:57,560 --> 01:20:03,360 Speaker 4: I see them winning this game? You know, thirty one seventeen? Absolutely? Yeah, 1683 01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:06,040 Speaker 4: But I'm not betting my money on the Chargers. 1684 01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:06,080 Speaker 3: All right. 1685 01:20:06,400 --> 01:20:07,880 Speaker 2: I don't want to take away because we get a 1686 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,880 Speaker 2: minute to go here. I don't want to take away 1687 01:20:09,920 --> 01:20:12,839 Speaker 2: from any of your best plays. Save that for tomorrow. 1688 01:20:12,880 --> 01:20:16,720 Speaker 2: But give us one play for this audience that you 1689 01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:18,960 Speaker 2: really like tomorrow in the NFL. 1690 01:20:21,080 --> 01:20:24,160 Speaker 4: I know this is kind of crazy, but I do 1691 01:20:24,479 --> 01:20:28,920 Speaker 4: like the Broncos to cover that game this weekend. I 1692 01:20:28,960 --> 01:20:31,840 Speaker 4: also like my favorite one might be Tennessee at home 1693 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:34,639 Speaker 4: plus the two to two and a half against the Bengals. 1694 01:20:35,200 --> 01:20:38,320 Speaker 4: Mike Vrabel is like the best coach ever as an underdog. 1695 01:20:38,760 --> 01:20:42,240 Speaker 4: He's so good. And you look at at sort of 1696 01:20:42,320 --> 01:20:45,800 Speaker 4: where Joe Burrow is with his calf and how the 1697 01:20:45,880 --> 01:20:48,200 Speaker 4: Titans play on the on the defensive line. I think 1698 01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,520 Speaker 4: Italians plus two and a half. Here is my favorite wager. 1699 01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,320 Speaker 3: Joe burrow Man. He's just not right. You can't throw 1700 01:20:54,360 --> 01:20:55,479 Speaker 3: the ball down the field. 1701 01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:56,840 Speaker 4: No, he's certain, No he can't. 1702 01:20:57,439 --> 01:20:59,559 Speaker 2: And if you can't throw the ball down the field, 1703 01:20:59,800 --> 01:21:03,400 Speaker 2: the Bengals offense just doesn't operate the way it normally does. 1704 01:21:03,600 --> 01:21:07,040 Speaker 2: So Jeff, great stuff, as always, Man, We always appreciate 1705 01:21:07,160 --> 01:21:11,160 Speaker 2: talking to you.
