17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:58,279
Speaker 1: final week of the season of Major League Baseball. I'm

18
00:00:58,280 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 1: a nervous wreck. That's the Cubs are seven to seven,

19
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,160
Speaker 1: bottom of the seventh and if the Mets win, they

20
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 1: take over the final wild card. And I'm sitting here

21
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 1: going what kind of deal with the devil? Did the

22
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:12,920
Speaker 1: Guardians make twelve and a half games? They were out

23
00:01:12,959 --> 00:01:14,920
Speaker 1: about a month or so ago, and now they're tied

24
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: with the Tigers. Like, that's gonna be one hell of

25
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 1: a bill when it comes to Mike Carmon, I know

26
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,759
Speaker 1: what the Guardians gave them, but it's gonna be one

27
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:21,320
Speaker 1: hell of a bill.

28
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 3: How do you get such a faustian deal your own

29
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 3: damn self, that's what you're asking right now? Seven seven's

30
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 3: all over the place, bottom of seven, two on two out.

31
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:34,520
Speaker 1: Manager will make a pitching change, so we go to

32
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,319
Speaker 1: the commercial break as you have to sweat it out

33
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. But a pretty wild game, And yeah,

34
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,399
Speaker 1: I mean the wild circumstances coming down to this final week.

35
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 1: We've got a dead heat in the al MVP betting

36
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: odds coming into tonight's game. We've got all these playoff juxtaposition.

37
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: We've got Schoolbles supposed to be the guy, gonna be

38
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 3: the stopper, Gonna build a statue to him outside. It's

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 3: gonna be of him hiking a ball like he's well

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: juggling or something like that, or or a long schnapper

41
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 3: on one of those many blocked field goals from Sunday's

42
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,239
Speaker 3: NFL Action. Either way, just a wild final week ahead

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 3: for us here in Major League Baseball.

44
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean the Tigers may never win again. I

45
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,320
Speaker 1: mean really, that's that's kind of what this is. They

46
00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 1: may never win again. Won their last game, I mean

47
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:27,160
Speaker 1: for Bes, but forever they maybe done.

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,239
Speaker 3: Like the Guardian used the documentary they really need, Hey,

49
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 3: you go find who's the ambissary of the devil that.

50
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,079
Speaker 1: They can't that The Guardians came up and made that

51
00:02:36,480 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 1: twelve and a half games. Not only the Guardians making

52
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 1: this up, but now the Tigers can't win. I mean this,

53
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,040
Speaker 1: this is go for the Gusto man, go for the

54
00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:48,560
Speaker 1: go for the Gusto Miracle mats of nineteen sixty nine

55
00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 1: on steroids. I read, I read, I read a book

56
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: not too long ago? Was was it? The Invisible Life

57
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 1: of Addie LaRue? What v Schwap really good? Right?

58
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:57,000
Speaker 4: You know?

59
00:02:57,040 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 1: I read all the time because I'm I'm that guy.

60
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,440
Speaker 1: And the book was about she meets a couple of

61
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: characters over the course of her life that made these

62
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: Faustian bargains with the devil, and they both made the

63
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: bargains for you know, some kind of great life. And

64
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 1: the first guy made it for eternity, right like, he

65
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,160
Speaker 1: met the devil whoever it was, and he meant, yeah,

66
00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,480
Speaker 1: I want this kind of life in this this for eternity,

67
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: and the devil granted it to him, whoever it was.

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: And then the other dock she meets how long did

69
00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 1: you get? And he goes three years? Three years? How

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: do you only get three years? You gave him your

71
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: soul for eternal damnation and you're only getting three years

72
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,880
Speaker 1: out of it. So like, go big if you're the Guardians, man,

73
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 1: go big, go big, get everything. Tiger's never win again.

74
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: Schoobl is no longer, He's never gonna win again. Oh,

75
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 1: just keep going, man, go all the way. Well, but

76
00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: that's just it. You really need to ask for the world.

77
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:48,600
Speaker 3: And then, as we know, you're gonna fall just short

78
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,640
Speaker 3: of something, so chaos to come into playoffs.

79
00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: I guess this is what we're getting ready for here.

80
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 3: If if history is to be believed, right, of all

81
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: these things, you get right to the precipice of greatness,

82
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: your world and global universal adoration, and then it all

83
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 3: goes asunder. So yeah, I mean, you can already write

84
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: this book. You just need the last chapter man.

85
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 1: And again Mets and Cubs are tied seven seven p

86
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,760
Speaker 1: crow armstrung up with two on and two out in

87
00:04:16,760 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 1: the seventh. Now I've all the thing is as nervous

88
00:04:19,080 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 1: as I am. I've already come to grips that the

89
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,039
Speaker 1: metsage is gonna take this all the way down to

90
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: the last day, just to drag all of the really

91
00:04:27,240 --> 00:04:30,440
Speaker 1: all the really bad. How could they possibly blow this

92
00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: wild card lead in the most painful fashion possible, And

93
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,600
Speaker 1: it's gonna take it down to the final day of

94
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:38,160
Speaker 1: the regular season. It's gonna take it down to Sunday

95
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: against the Marlins, who were terrible, but get somehow they

96
00:04:41,120 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: played the Mets every game. They have one hundred wins.

97
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: So like like it's gonna all go come all the

98
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,200
Speaker 1: way down. I would say, hey, if you're gonna blow it,

99
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,120
Speaker 1: do it the next couple of days, right, Please do

100
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 1: it the next couple of day. Doesn't don't make me

101
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: go through all this anguish and take years off my

102
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 1: life with worrying about stuff the next few days only

103
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: to gack it away on a Sunday. Do it early.

104
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 3: If you're gonna do it, well, didn't do it there

105
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:04,080
Speaker 3: as crow Armstrong goes down on strikes to end the threat.

106
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 3: In the seventh, we'll go to the eighth tide seven

107
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:06,680
Speaker 3: to seven.

108
00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: Once at once a met, right, once a met. When

109
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:14,720
Speaker 1: you're a met, you're always yeah, well you talk about

110
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:16,120
Speaker 1: a tail of two halves, man.

111
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 3: One of the more curious things ever. Right, normally bad

112
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 3: ball swinging guys they have their come up and so

113
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 3: it just doesn't happen for a full half of the season.

114
00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:29,680
Speaker 3: But the law of averages are what they are for

115
00:05:29,720 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 3: Pete crow Armstrong. The highlight of this game was John

116
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: mulaney Sittingnacious College Prep Chicago Alum.

117
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: Yeah it was not. I really would rather him if

118
00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: he could have re enacted his speech from the Christmas

119
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,839
Speaker 1: Bear from the Bear like that would have been better

120
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: than the is he still he's still holding the fork?

121
00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,839
Speaker 1: Uh huh okay, thank you, yes we are so again

122
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,080
Speaker 1: before updated on this game seven to seven Mets Cubs

123
00:05:55,120 --> 00:05:58,039
Speaker 1: right National Game TBS. This is it going to the

124
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: top of the eighth inning. Meanwhile, hey, big news in

125
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 1: the NFL. I mean you knew it if you listen

126
00:06:05,160 --> 00:06:08,839
Speaker 1: to us well over a month ago. It is now official.

127
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: The Giants are benching Russell Wilson. Jackson Dart will start instead.

128
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: And oh, by the way, hey, no soft landing. You're

129
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:18,960
Speaker 1: gonna go up against one of the top three defenses

130
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:21,760
Speaker 1: of the NFL. You're gonna get the red hot La Chargers.

131
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: Good luck, Jackson Dart. Look, this is something we told

132
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 1: you a month ago. When Dart had the big game

133
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 1: in the preseason against the Jets, you could just tell

134
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 1: this is the way the world is going with the Giants, right,

135
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: It's all Jackson Dart and no momentum of any kind

136
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,400
Speaker 1: for Russell Wilson. Once they traded for Dart, and Dart

137
00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: came in and showed that over the course of his

138
00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: mini camps and in the summer that the moment wasn't

139
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: too big for him. And Dart was really good along

140
00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 1: the way, checked every box. He never really struggled. He

141
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: threw the ball really well. You knew it was just

142
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: a matter of time. I mean, I knew the middle

143
00:07:00,360 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 1: last month because I know New York and I know that,

144
00:07:02,320 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 1: and watching Chris collins Worth on Sunday night, going, yeah,

145
00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 1: you kind of want to start Dart, but you want

146
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:08,799
Speaker 1: to give him a soft landing. Maybe middle of the season.

147
00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 1: I'm like, dude, do I need to be in that

148
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: booth instead of you? Because I'd have said, yeah, you

149
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: know what, like I've been telling you since the middle

150
00:07:14,240 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: of August, this change is going to be happening by

151
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: October first. Turns out my bull prediction, I had a week.

152
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,160
Speaker 1: I had a week to sit back and go, yeah,

153
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: I got a week for this thing because it's happening now,

154
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,920
Speaker 1: instead of I mean it was, this was just the

155
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: way things were with the Giants. They Russell Wilson had

156
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 1: no cachet and once she's once it was the Wilson

157
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:39,640
Speaker 1: Dart tandem. Over the summer, you knew it was going

158
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:42,640
Speaker 1: to be Jackson Dart, right, Brian Dable and Joe Shane

159
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:45,040
Speaker 1: want to save their jobs. We've talked about this everything

160
00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: you heard today. Look, that's why we say ahead of

161
00:07:47,080 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: the curve, because we've told you this a month ago.

162
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: They want to save their jobs. They want to be

163
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 1: the ones to say, hey, wait a minute, we're the

164
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: ones that can coach the hell out of this guy.

165
00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: We're the ones that take you the next you know,

166
00:07:56,200 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: out of the Daniel Jones era and out of whatever

167
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: era this is, into the Jackson Dart. Hey, we you

168
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:03,360
Speaker 1: know we can do that. So you knew this was

169
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: just a matter of time right now to take this

170
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: in a in a you know, to go forward on this,

171
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,520
Speaker 1: Mike carmixs you know, like say ahead of the curve, right,

172
00:08:10,800 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah. So now, Russell Wilson, what did we

173
00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:16,760
Speaker 1: say when this was gonna happen. Wilson is not gonna

174
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 1: spend the rest of the season and potentially his last

175
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: in the NFL sitting on the sidelines holding a clipboard

176
00:08:23,240 --> 00:08:25,960
Speaker 1: or more than likely with the big Parka on in

177
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: this in the winter months where he's just holding him said,

178
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 1: he's got his helmet on and he's just sitting there

179
00:08:30,080 --> 00:08:31,880
Speaker 1: with the big parka, you know, with his arms around

180
00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 1: he wrapped around each other, just watching the game happen.

181
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: Not gonna happen, right, Not gonna happen. So by the

182
00:08:38,840 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 1: time the trade deadline gets here, Russell Wilson's gonna be

183
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,400
Speaker 1: on a new team. That's another reason why they made

184
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: this move now. So they can see that as long

185
00:08:46,400 --> 00:08:49,319
Speaker 1: as as as Jackson Dart is good, they will make

186
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: the move in trade. Russell Wilson, He's not gonna finish

187
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,800
Speaker 1: this year backing up sitting on the bench. That's not

188
00:08:54,880 --> 00:08:57,560
Speaker 1: who he is, right, that's not dangerous. He's gonna say,

189
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:01,440
Speaker 1: get me somewhere where I can jump in and maybe

190
00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 1: help a team that needs a quarterback, because everybody needs quarterbacks,

191
00:09:04,160 --> 00:09:06,959
Speaker 1: whether it's injury or ineffect us. We've already had four

192
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,000
Speaker 1: or five quarterback changes the first three weeks of the

193
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: season because of injury. So that's going to happen. And

194
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,680
Speaker 1: it also makes sense now if you believe that, and

195
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,840
Speaker 1: you say, okay, wait a minute, this makes sense as

196
00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,400
Speaker 1: to how Jameis Winston is still on that team because

197
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,400
Speaker 1: when you trade Russell Wilson, okay, you're looking for a

198
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:26,800
Speaker 1: backup of some kind that can come in just in

199
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,559
Speaker 1: case he has to. If Jackson Dart shows, hey, wait

200
00:09:29,559 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: a minute, I need some more time, you sit him

201
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: down for a bit, put him in bubble wrap. The

202
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: rams at that with Jared Goff beginning of his career.

203
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: So it makes sense. This is why Jameis Winston is

204
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 1: still there because then he would be that break glass

205
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: in case emergency quarterback that takes over. So yeah, so

206
00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,800
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart he's gonna start, But I'm telling you Wilson's

207
00:09:47,800 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 1: gone by the deadline. And you realize this is why

208
00:09:50,520 --> 00:09:52,959
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston is still on the team. I'm not gonna lie.

209
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:55,920
Speaker 1: I really hope that teams come looking for Jamis instead,

210
00:09:56,480 --> 00:10:00,280
Speaker 1: but just because I think it's better theater. Yeah, we

211
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,679
Speaker 1: don't want that guy. No, no, no, we want the other

212
00:10:02,720 --> 00:10:06,080
Speaker 1: guy in the room. He's funnier. Uh and uh, you

213
00:10:06,120 --> 00:10:08,440
Speaker 1: know he'll wing it around, just like Russwell. I mean,

214
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 1: whether it's Cincinnati or one of these other teams that's

215
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:14,320
Speaker 1: already faced a huge loss. Yeah, I mean there's certainly

216
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: a marketplace, right we see that the running back position,

217
00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,520
Speaker 1: right we when we're we're talking about guys that are

218
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,640
Speaker 1: that are back off injury and haven't been used yet.

219
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 4: Uh.

220
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 3: You know the old phrase that I've used from my

221
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 3: mom's forever, the old save it for good. It seems

222
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,319
Speaker 3: like we've got a little bit of that, uh going

223
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: on with some of the guys being stashed and coming back.

224
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 3: But but in this it was inevitable. Just again, thought

225
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:42,920
Speaker 3: thought it was gonna be New Orleans. But it's not

226
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 3: like that's really that's the only good game on the schedule.

227
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,280
Speaker 3: Otherwise they've got another five or six in a row

228
00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,800
Speaker 3: thereafter that are just miserable potential points for for Jackson Dart,

229
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,319
Speaker 3: but you got to see what he's got. You got

230
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 3: to test the metal. Uh, and you certainly needed a

231
00:10:58,679 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 3: different change in the room to try to get Molik

232
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:06,439
Speaker 3: neighbors more consistently involved in more opportunities. We'll see more

233
00:11:06,480 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 3: of Scatabo, of course with Tracy's injury, and probably more

234
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 3: Devin Singletary because he's a good blocker and receiver in

235
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,320
Speaker 3: the backfield, so we'll see that a little bit. But

236
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 3: for for Shane and Dabile, Yeah, yeah, you had to

237
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 3: pull the pin. You got to see what you have,

238
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,679
Speaker 3: try to convince the bosses that you get to keep

239
00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 3: your job. And yeah, eventually Russell Russell Wilson will be

240
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,400
Speaker 3: somewhere else. There's there's no question about it.

241
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 1: And you start to wonder if that's been the plan

242
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:39,800
Speaker 1: the last couple of months. Where Okay, we're getting into

243
00:11:39,800 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: the summer. We have these three quarterbacks, right, We're not

244
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 1: sure what we have, right. We signed Russell Wilson, we

245
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,200
Speaker 1: signed Jameis Winston. We have to wait till the draft.

246
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:48,560
Speaker 1: They get Jackson Dart. Okay, we have these three guys,

247
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:50,640
Speaker 1: and I'm sure the thought was Okay, what do we

248
00:11:50,679 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 1: do here? Do we let Jamis go? Do we trade him?

249
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: What we know? What do we do Jackson? Dart's coming

250
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: along well. And I'm wondering if if once the summer

251
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: hit and the Giants realize that, hey, Dart's gonna be

252
00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: in here sooner rather than later, right, we don't have

253
00:12:03,040 --> 00:12:04,559
Speaker 1: to sit here and wait for him to be ready

254
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: like he's gonna be ready the first month. Right again,

255
00:12:06,679 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: we told you, and I wonder if that's been the plan.

256
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: And they've actually talked to Russell Wilson about this, saying, Hey,

257
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: if this happens, we're gonna keep all three of these guys.

258
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: We're gonna keep all three of you. We will move

259
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:18,880
Speaker 1: you at the deadline to a team. We will move

260
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,800
Speaker 1: you at the deadline. And that's been the plan that

261
00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:25,079
Speaker 1: we've had since Dart showed that it's gonna be sooner

262
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: rather than later. And I'm sure all three of these

263
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,880
Speaker 1: guys been on the same pages. Look, you haven't heard anything.

264
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: Jameis Winston hasn't been mad about stuff. Jameis wins Why

265
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: am I here as a third guy? You haven't heard

266
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:38,040
Speaker 1: that you it was one of those three amigos also right, Yeah,

267
00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:40,760
Speaker 1: nothing from Russell Wilson about all this time. It's my job.

268
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:43,680
Speaker 1: It's X, Y and Z. Everybody seems to be on

269
00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:45,880
Speaker 1: the same page. And it makes sense that if once

270
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: the middle of this, once the beginning of the summer hit,

271
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,560
Speaker 1: and there were three quarterbacks, this is why we're keeping

272
00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 1: all three, right, because that makes too much sense for

273
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,040
Speaker 1: this to not have been the plan going on the

274
00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: better part of five or six weeks.

275
00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 3: Now, Well, yeah, I have two guys in the room

276
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 3: and have just vastly they've experienced everything, right, Russ had

277
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 3: all the great success, the Super Bowl, the near miss,

278
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 3: all of that, uh, some big numbers, and he's obviously

279
00:13:14,120 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 3: learned a lot. For Jamis, you've had the struggles, the

280
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:20,760
Speaker 3: interceptions that you name it, and bouncing around to where

281
00:13:21,120 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 3: Jackson Dark can glean so much information from both of

282
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 3: these guys. They've started and played so many snaps. To

283
00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: have them around the room as long as they have

284
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 3: can only be to his benefit. And now you get

285
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 3: the opportunity. I guess they're helped in some way that

286
00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,560
Speaker 3: you don't have a fully deployed Chargers defense with Khalil

287
00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 3: mack out. But still it's it'll be a very interesting

288
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:46,880
Speaker 3: game to watch and see how they run that offense.

289
00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: This weekend exit out about a Fresca exit swallowing dump said,

00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,600
Speaker 1: the worst actor in the entire movie. You'd be Sophia Cope.

309
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 5: I have no relatives in this game. I can't get in.

310
00:14:53,760 --> 00:14:55,760
Speaker 1: Steve, you have stats of the exit velocity on the

311
00:14:55,760 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: Alvarez home run? Do you have any what? What do

312
00:14:58,640 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: you have?

313
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 5: It did travel for one hundred and three feet at

314
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:05,440
Speaker 5: Wrigley Field. Wow, but really that's pretty good. It's a

315
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,000
Speaker 5: wriggly Field game. And it's not over. Yes, now, Mets

316
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 5: were down with David Peterson on the mound five to

317
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 5: one in the second. They got a five run fifth

318
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,680
Speaker 5: even at six six. It's now nine seven Mets in

319
00:15:16,760 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 5: the top of the eighth. Not over. We had people

320
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,760
Speaker 5: off the air discussing these playoff possible matchups. Nobody wanted

321
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:26,040
Speaker 5: to play three games at Wrigley Field next week.

322
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,120
Speaker 1: Just for the record, I don't ever want to play

323
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: three games at Wrigley Field. I don't I don't care.

324
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: I don't care when it is, ye, especially with what

325
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:33,440
Speaker 3: they've done to that neighborhood.

326
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 1: Trust for those who anymore, Oh, it's just terrible.

327
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 5: The Wildcard series, the best of three they each begin

328
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 5: next Tuesday, but all the games are at the better

329
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 5: seeded team.

330
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 1: Now you mentioned David Peterson. This is this is a

331
00:15:48,400 --> 00:15:52,200
Speaker 1: great stat from the great statistician Jason Smith. David Peterson's

332
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: last ten starts okay, Like, I can't believe the guy

333
00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:57,960
Speaker 1: is still throwing him out every fifth day. His last

334
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: ten starts since August first, forty seven innings pitched, fifty

335
00:16:03,280 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: six hits, forty one earn runs. Like, how was he

336
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,760
Speaker 1: still taking his turn every fifth day? Because he's a

337
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 1: Met I don't understand.

338
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:11,600
Speaker 5: I have nothing else.

339
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: This guy was on the All Star team.

340
00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: Dave Roberts was getting the bullpen games going throughout each round.

341
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 5: It's gonna be three bullpen games next week for the Mets.

342
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,920
Speaker 3: Hey, because he hasn't gone to anybody and said, you

343
00:16:25,960 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 3: know what, my shoulder hurts, my back hurts, whatever, you'd

344
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:30,440
Speaker 3: be okay, you're feeling all right?

345
00:16:30,520 --> 00:16:32,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm great. Give me the ball, you man, I'll

346
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,320
Speaker 1: tell you all right, Well, thank you, Steve.

347
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 5: By the way, Theres Padres have already home or twice

348
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 5: six nothing in the second inning against the Brewers.

349
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 1: Is David Peterson pitching in that game too?

350
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 5: Although, yeah, I think the Brewers would take him at

351
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 5: this point. They got games to kill for the rest

352
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:46,960
Speaker 5: of the week.

353
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: Oh sure, yeah, yeah, yeah, why not? Yes, Hey, Mike

354
00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: Caldwell could come in and pitch a little bit Gara. Sure,

355
00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:54,200
Speaker 1: oh yeah, yeah, they.

356
00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 5: Got them all nineteen eighty two Brewers very good, Thank you, Steve.

357
00:16:58,240 --> 00:17:01,360
Speaker 1: Oh, Pete Vukovich still you know? Hey? Sure? No, no, no?

378
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:03,600

409
00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: Cowboys coming up in a second, because boy, the war

410
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,679
Speaker 1: of words already going on between the Cowboys and Packers

411
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,919
Speaker 1: ahead of Micah Parsons Bowl on Sunday. But we know

412
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,320
Speaker 1: we had the conversation a couple minutes ago about how look,

413
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 1: the one team that should go after a quarterback are

414
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:30,520
Speaker 1: the Browns. Forget about this Sanders and Gabriel and all

415
00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:34,320
Speaker 1: this crap happening right now. They're great, lights out defense.

416
00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:39,440
Speaker 1: If they had any production whatsoever at quarterback, they would

417
00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 1: be two and one. And it's a watered down It's

418
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: a bad AFC North right. The Ravens defense is terrible,

419
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,320
Speaker 1: The Bengals have no Joe Burrow for most of the

420
00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:50,880
Speaker 1: rest of the season, and Pittsburgh is just kind of okay, right,

421
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: be bold, go get a quarterback. Now. You threw out

422
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,560
Speaker 1: there Russell Wilson a few minutes ago, and I said, no,

423
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:58,360
Speaker 1: they need to go get a quarterback. Okay, just understanding,

424
00:19:58,359 --> 00:19:58,960
Speaker 1: I need to get.

425
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:02,919
Speaker 3: A something there because because look, and now the battle

426
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 3: for Ohio also extends to we need a new quarterback.

427
00:20:06,480 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, the two guys that I'll give you two

428
00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:13,720
Speaker 1: names that they can now, there's no there's no sure

429
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:16,879
Speaker 1: fire antswer out there, and teams aren't just gonna trade

430
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 1: their backup quarterback just because right like the Rams aren't

431
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,600
Speaker 1: gonna trade Jimmy Garoppolo because he's not starting right the

432
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: Red Hey, no, we have hopes and dreams and if

433
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: something happens to Stafford, we feel pretty good with Jimmy

434
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:30,199
Speaker 1: Garoppolo coming in, right, So it's got to be the

435
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:33,239
Speaker 1: right kind of situation where the team can part with

436
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,880
Speaker 1: a quarterback that has some talent. Right now, you're taking

437
00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: a bit of a risk, but this is a risk

438
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: just for this year. You can start over again after

439
00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: this year if you don't like it. The two quarterbacks

440
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: you can go after right that I know we'll get

441
00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,600
Speaker 1: that are gonna be available that you can get a

442
00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:50,640
Speaker 1: lot for the first ones in the AFC, and it's

443
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:54,880
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson because you know, with Daniel Jones's start, they're

444
00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:57,360
Speaker 1: ready to hand that. You have it now, Daniel, you're

445
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 1: the Sam Darnold of twenty twenty five. Man, We love you,

446
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,320
Speaker 1: and the further we could get removed from Anthony Richardson,

447
00:21:04,640 --> 00:21:05,360
Speaker 1: the better we are.

448
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:05,520
Speaker 7: Now.

449
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:09,040
Speaker 1: Yes, you worry about Daniel Jones getting hurt Richardson coming in,

450
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,960
Speaker 1: but you know Richardson's a sunk cost at this point, right,

451
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 1: I mean you know you're not going forward with him.

452
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: He's not gonna suddenly win the job next year. You

453
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 1: see how well Jones is playing his first three games,

454
00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,680
Speaker 1: but Richardson has flashed before. If he can stay healthy

455
00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: and a change of scenery with a really good offensive

456
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 1: coach and Kevin Stefanski. Yeah, Anthony Richardson's a guy that

457
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,760
Speaker 1: isla Hey bring him in and see you could say that,

458
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: well it's a rit yeah, but I know it's a risk.

459
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,000
Speaker 1: It has upside because I've seen him have games where boy,

460
00:21:38,080 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 1: for three quarters Anthony Richard's been terrible and then in

461
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,920
Speaker 1: a seven minute spans it's two touchdowns in a field

462
00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: goal and all of a sudden it's seventeen seventeen, Like,

463
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,280
Speaker 1: that's a risk that you could take. And the Colts,

464
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,320
Speaker 1: I'm sure will want to move on and say, okay,

465
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: we're in on Daniel Jones, that the Anthony Richard era

466
00:21:53,080 --> 00:21:55,280
Speaker 1: is over and we're going forward. I'm sure he would

467
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,600
Speaker 1: be available. Yeah, I mean, what's the risk? I mean,

468
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,359
Speaker 1: it ain't gonna cost you much to bring him in,

469
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: all right? For the Colts, when as soon as they

470
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:05,080
Speaker 1: paid Daniel Jones the money they did uh to bring

471
00:22:05,160 --> 00:22:08,800
Speaker 1: him in, you knew it was a done deal. And

472
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: now you're at a point where he's he's your break

473
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:15,439
Speaker 1: glass in case of emergency. You didn't want him, all right,

474
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,240
Speaker 1: That's why you went into the marketplace to bring in another.

475
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:21,040
Speaker 3: Distressed property that you saw could be a positive in

476
00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,720
Speaker 3: your offense in Daniel Jones. So yeah, you you shuffle

477
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: him off. But I don't think the asking price is

478
00:22:27,080 --> 00:22:31,040
Speaker 3: gonna be too high. How many other quarterbacks are really

479
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:33,639
Speaker 3: out there that are viable started? I mean, I I

480
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 3: don't know that I necessarily want him to bring him in.

481
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:38,560
Speaker 3: Is he better than what I'm putting out there? Is

482
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 3: he gonna be better than Joe Flacco? I mean, I

483
00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,399
Speaker 3: guess he could make a player too with his legs,

484
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,720
Speaker 3: but then he's gonna be tired, he's gonna go off

485
00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 3: the field. Yeah, but there also he also is a

486
00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,280
Speaker 3: guy that needs a change of scenery nods to be

487
00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 3: able to get someplace else. And if you're going, you

488
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,800
Speaker 3: know that that's a guy who was eminently available, because

489
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 3: you know, the the colts have have itchy, itchy fingers

490
00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 3: to say, hey, we want to make a move. We

491
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 3: really don't want this to sit here anymore. And Richardson

492
00:23:03,480 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 3: has flash. I've seen him do it, and again maybe

493
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:09,199
Speaker 3: he's learned a lot. Like look, this whole summer, the

494
00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:12,920
Speaker 3: competition was really close. No matter who I read about

495
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 3: or talked to. Hey, no, this is a close competition.

496
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 3: Richardson has look good. They just feel better with Daniel

497
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:18,879
Speaker 3: Jones because of the way the offense is.

498
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:23,239
Speaker 1: He gets now. But but beat writers would have come

499
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: out and said, hey, Richardson looks terrible. Richardson, don't listen

500
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,399
Speaker 1: to that, like all the beat writers. The guy's covering practices. Also,

501
00:23:29,480 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 1: this is a really close competition, And you could say

502
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,199
Speaker 1: it was kind of rigged as a competition because clearly, yeah,

503
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 1: unless Richardson is terrific. We're gonna give the job to

504
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: Jones because we've seen him succeed in this kind of

505
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:44,840
Speaker 1: offense before, so let's do it. But like now, it's

506
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,200
Speaker 1: the point, Okay, as talented as Richardson is, yeah, it's

507
00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: just not working here. And he's got no future in Indianapolis.

508
00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 1: He may have one in Cleveland, and I mean, look,

509
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,080
Speaker 1: it may not work, but I know it's better than

510
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: what they got. Would Flacco out there right now, and

511
00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 1: like you said, at least the very least, he'll make

512
00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,040
Speaker 1: plays with his legs and he'll be a little bit

513
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: more dynamic than Flaka was at this point.

514
00:24:02,840 --> 00:24:05,399
Speaker 3: Maybe he gives you a little opportunity to uncork some

515
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,760
Speaker 3: stuff downfield. When you look at Tilm and you look

516
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 3: at Jerry Judy and some of the wide receivers you've got, uh,

517
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:14,120
Speaker 3: you've got a couple of pretty good tight ends there

518
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: to utilize as well. So look, clearly you've got a

519
00:24:19,720 --> 00:24:22,679
Speaker 3: lot of problems. You're offensively, Uh how should we be

520
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,880
Speaker 3: kind deficient at this point? And now you've got Judkins

521
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,959
Speaker 3: gave you a little bit of juice in the backfield.

522
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: We'll see what he can do going forward. But yeah,

523
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:35,440
Speaker 1: trying trying to goose this in the trademark, and I'm

524
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,119
Speaker 1: curious who else, who else are you on earthing uh

525
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 1: from a roster. The other guy I'm telling you here

526
00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,680
Speaker 1: is caleber No. The other guy I'm telling you here

527
00:24:44,240 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: available that has flashed a little bit, is a little dynamic,

528
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 1: makes plays with his legs, and you know they want

529
00:24:51,960 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 1: to move on to the guy they drafted this year.

530
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 1: Go get Spencer Rattler from the Saints. Right, at some

531
00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: point they got to play Tyler Shuck, right, they have

532
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: to he and he played a little bit this past week.

533
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 1: Rattler has done enough. He's moved the team enough, he

534
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 1: has shown that hey he's not completely overwhelmed, and yes,

535
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:09,159
Speaker 1: he can make plays with his legs. He's had a

536
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,200
Speaker 1: couple of big games. Is he great?

537
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:11,480
Speaker 2: No?

538
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: But I know he can give you that little bit

539
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,720
Speaker 1: of juice and be again that I keep saying dynamic,

540
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:19,760
Speaker 1: because that's what the Browns offense needs. He's someone that's

541
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 1: available simply because you know, after this year, the Saints

542
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: are gonna go after another quarterback. They're in a stuck

543
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,120
Speaker 1: place right now with Derek Carr's contract and what they

544
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: want to wind up doing and you know at some point, well,

545
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:32,000
Speaker 1: we drafted Tyler Schuck in the second round, he's got

546
00:25:32,040 --> 00:25:34,800
Speaker 1: to get a chance. It's we're oh to three, that's

547
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,440
Speaker 1: coming sooner rather than later. So yeah, if we started

548
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 1: Tyler Schuck, we're gonna go back to Spencer Ratllley. Now

549
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: we can get something for Spencer Ratler. So okay, we

550
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:43,680
Speaker 1: go and worse comes to worst, we tank and we're

551
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: drafting arch Manning at the end of this year and

552
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,919
Speaker 1: lets the Jets get him first, right, So stay and

553
00:25:47,960 --> 00:25:51,200
Speaker 1: beat the Giants first, since.

554
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 3: That was the game everybody had circled the whole time,

555
00:25:55,880 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 3: going we're gonna beat that ass when well, we played

556
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,200
Speaker 3: that game. They've been mocking us, and everybody's been pointing

557
00:26:02,200 --> 00:26:02,840
Speaker 3: to that game.

558
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: For two months. So yeah, you're looking at you look

559
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: at those two guys that are young, that have talent

560
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:11,080
Speaker 1: that again can get outside the pocket. They're two players

561
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: that yeah, those are you, and it's it's not gonna

562
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:16,640
Speaker 1: be very expensive to go get them each team. Would

563
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:19,440
Speaker 1: you almost be doing them a favor doing this because

564
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:21,920
Speaker 1: you know they're gonna make the move anyway, Go make

565
00:26:21,920 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: it now, Go make it down In two weeks, you

566
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,639
Speaker 1: got rattler. Richardson's starting for you and suddenly, hey, and

567
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,480
Speaker 1: if they don't work out, okay, then you can go

568
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,719
Speaker 1: to Dylan Gabriel. Then you can go to Shador Sanders.

569
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,240
Speaker 1: Like these are guys that have done it on the

570
00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: field in the NFL at a young age. Go do

571
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: something that helps your team out. Right now, you give

572
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: them a give them a little bit of Hey, we

573
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: got your back here. We're not just gonna let you defense.

574
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: We're not gonna let you just go out there every

575
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: week and give up fourteen points and we lose fourteen thirteen.

576
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 1: We're not gonna do that to you. Like, really, you

577
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: can contend this year because the AFC North is bad.

578
00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 1: I mean, really, have you've shown enough in the first

579
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,760
Speaker 1: three weeks how good this defense is. Keep it going, man,

580
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,560
Speaker 1: People do something, do something to help help out, Help

581
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:01,359
Speaker 1: out a fan base that's been starved for all sorts

582
00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: of good news for the past well, I don't know,

583
00:27:03,800 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 1: twenty five years. Go help out that fan base.

584
00:27:07,359 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 3: What just so they have a new story on the

585
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 3: back of the fish wrap. I don't know, I don't know.

586
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 3: They're a little bit of help. Yeah, I don't know

587
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:17,399
Speaker 3: that Richardson suddenly be hey, let's have a rally in

588
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,920
Speaker 3: the town square.

589
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:22,359
Speaker 1: Over their arrivals. It's different. It's different, and I know

590
00:27:22,600 --> 00:27:25,679
Speaker 1: if I hear something, even if it's wrong, If I know, okay,

591
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 1: if I know what I have in my right hand

592
00:27:28,600 --> 00:27:31,199
Speaker 1: isn't working. Right. If I have a video game control

593
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: in my right hand that I know is broken, it's broken,

594
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:35,480
Speaker 1: I can't use it. What about the video game control

595
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 1: on your left hand? I have no idea. I have

596
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,399
Speaker 1: no idea. Someone just put it in my hand. It

597
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 1: could be broken. It could be broken worse than this one,

598
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,639
Speaker 1: but it could be working great. I don't know, But

599
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: I know the one in my right hand is broken,

600
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:47,800
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't I try to use the one in

601
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: the left hand?

602
00:27:48,320 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 3: I give you, I give you credit. You Cot, You

603
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,040
Speaker 3: just said I could have this or what's in the box.

604
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,680
Speaker 3: So you got a little more creative with the video game.

605
00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 3: I noticed that you didn't go to the high price

606
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 3: end where it might be a lot more implicated to

607
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:04,320
Speaker 3: make something happen. But a guy whose team suddenly needs him,

608
00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 3: and that's old Captain Kirk.

609
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 8: You know, if if I didn't hear all those stories

610
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 8: the last few days about how dude, Now we think

611
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 8: Kirk Cousins is done, and really the league is telling

612
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,680
Speaker 8: you they think he has done because there's been no talk.

613
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: There's not been one team that has called. Because normally

614
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:23,639
Speaker 1: by now we would get that, Hey, sources, Vikings called

615
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:26,800
Speaker 1: for kirk Cousins in the preseason or Raiders call about

616
00:28:26,880 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 1: kirk Cousins in the offseason. There's been no teams. There's

617
00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: been no talk at all. No, Hey, we're gonna want

618
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:35,320
Speaker 1: to look into this. What can we do money wise?

619
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,320
Speaker 1: Would you eat money for Kirk Cousins, And clearly the

620
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,200
Speaker 1: Falcons would do it, right, Hey, we decided to go

621
00:28:40,240 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: on all in on Michael Pennix. So the fact that

622
00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:45,960
Speaker 1: we haven't I haven't heard anything from any team at

623
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 1: any point in the last I don't know, six months

624
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: on Kirk Cousins tells me the entire league thinks he's done.

625
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 3: I think some of it was you needed proof of

626
00:28:53,280 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: concept of where he was physically in the process, but

627
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 3: it's also the curiosity of where they're at. Given the

628
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 3: first couple of games we've watched from Michael Pennix Junior.

629
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,320
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he uh, he's not he's not.

630
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 3: Uh, he's not he's not good, right, especially the expectations

631
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: of this squad. Yeah, good right, that it was gonna

632
00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:14,800
Speaker 3: they were gonna go and they were gonna win the

633
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: South running away and I said, I said, not so fast, uh.

634
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: Thinking that you still gotta run through the through the Buccaneers.

635
00:29:23,040 --> 00:29:27,320
Speaker 3: But here you have it that Pennix had one solid

636
00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 3: game and then it's been a bit ugly.

637
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:29,680
Speaker 1: Uh.

638
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,320
Speaker 3: And when you get shut out, what do we get

639
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:34,480
Speaker 3: less than ten of those a year anymore? Right, you

640
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 3: get shut out by the Panthers, it's pretty pretty bad

641
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:40,120
Speaker 3: indictment of where your squad is right now. Just despite

642
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 3: all the headliners on the marquee.

643
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,600
Speaker 1: I mean, I saw, these are two guys you can

644
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: go get. I like it, I mean be but you know,

645
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:51,360
Speaker 1: help right, like go to and you don't put anything

646
00:29:51,360 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: at risk. That's the best part is that? What about Getua?

647
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 1: Oh man? Yeah, well you might have to wait another

648
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. If the if the Dolphins lose to

649
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,400
Speaker 1: the Jets on Monday night, I know, we decided we're

650
00:30:02,440 --> 00:30:04,480
Speaker 1: not gonna mention that game because we want people to

651
00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 1: watch Monday night football. Yeah, there's two games on two

652
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: games on Monday. Don't worry about off day from Major

653
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: League Baseball. Yeah, we'll just make stuff up. Yeah, I know,

654
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: we'll make stuff up. I will make it up. But

655
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 1: if they lose to the Jets, I wonder how available

656
00:30:19,960 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: I got. But then you're worried about getting into the

657
00:30:21,760 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: money for TUA. It needs to be something where the

658
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: Browns can say our long term plans, meaning after this year,

659
00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 1: are unaffected. But we can still kind of go for

660
00:30:31,280 --> 00:30:33,800
Speaker 1: it this year because maybe arch Manning isn't great, right,

661
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: we've seen it. Maybe he's not the guy we should

662
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: thank for. Maybe Leonora Sellers is really good, maybe he's not.

663
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,200
Speaker 1: Maybe Garrett nus Meyer's great, maybe he's not. But it

664
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:43,720
Speaker 1: doesn't matter. We can try to go for it this year,

665
00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work, okay, that's good. We're we're

666
00:30:46,680 --> 00:30:49,280
Speaker 1: still starting over next year where the new quarterback is

667
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:51,760
Speaker 1: something else. If it does work, great, we may have

668
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 1: our quarterback. We may Spencer Rattler Anthony may wind up

669
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,760
Speaker 1: being quarterbacks here. Why not? How about that? You never

670
00:30:58,240 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 1: time they.

671
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 3: Were both the the flavor of the day, right, Yeah,

672
00:31:02,080 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson had that month.

673
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:09,160
Speaker 9: Yeah, you a little sculpture of a statue for him, Yeah, boy,

674
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,680
Speaker 9: I should have really traded him in Dynasty right after

675
00:31:11,720 --> 00:31:16,120
Speaker 9: that one that Spencer and Spencer Rattler was kind of

676
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:18,360
Speaker 9: a big deal once upon a long time and in

677
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:19,280
Speaker 9: the collegiate game.

678
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:21,560
Speaker 1: So I'm in and he's looked all right, I mean

679
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: through three weeks, yeah, you know, I didn't somebody outside

680
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: the division. So we'll see what happens there and really

681
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 1: quick because because I remember this and I have to

682
00:31:30,280 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 1: sometimes sit back and go, don't agonize too much over

683
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,720
Speaker 1: over fantasy. But I vividly remember because I had the

684
00:31:37,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 1: second pick of the draft and fantasy and I knew,

685
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: I knew it's whatever. I knew somebody was going to

686
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,760
Speaker 1: pick number one. I'm going, oh, man, do I take

687
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:51,080
Speaker 1: Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson? Like what do I do?

688
00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 1: Like what do I do at number two?

689
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:52,640
Speaker 4: Like?

690
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:54,920
Speaker 1: Do I take Bryce Young or Anthony Richardson? Wow?

691
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 5: What?

692
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,960
Speaker 1: I And I agonized over it for like a week

693
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,800
Speaker 1: once I knew that the guy picking wasn't gonna pick

694
00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: either those quarterbacks, and I like remember going, like my

695
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:05,080
Speaker 1: whole week was like what do I do? Who do

696
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: I take? Who do I take? And now it's like

697
00:32:06,800 --> 00:32:09,240
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter because they both stink,

698
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:12,360
Speaker 1: so it makes no difference. Funny how that worked out,

699
00:32:12,400 --> 00:32:16,440
Speaker 1: isn't it? What are you gonna do? Yeah? But what

700
00:32:16,480 --> 00:32:19,719
Speaker 1: can you do? Exit out about a Fresca exit swollen

701
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 1: down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

702
00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,680
Speaker 1: So yeah, go out, be bold, go get it, go

703
00:32:26,040 --> 00:32:28,120
Speaker 1: do it, go do it. It'll be awesome. We got

709
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:47,080
Speaker 1: night in Major League Baseball? Have the Guardians made a

710
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 1: deal with the Devil? Will the Tigers ever win again?

711
00:32:49,560 --> 00:32:52,560

Speaker 1: John Paul Morosi is on Twitter at John Morosi. I

730
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 1: understand the legacy and how the Detroit Tigers are woven

731
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: into his family history. The Cleveland Guardians, who once trailed

732
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:12,120
Speaker 1: this division by fifteen and a half games, now lead

733
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:15,279
Speaker 1: the Ale Central over the Tigers. It will be the

734
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 1: largest deficit overcome to win a division in the history

735
00:34:19,600 --> 00:34:22,760
Speaker 1: of baseball. This has been tweeted out by John Paul Morosi,

736
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,520
Speaker 1: so it's only fair, John Paul, I welcome you in

737
00:34:25,560 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 1: and ask how is your family doing? Specifically, how is

738
00:34:28,520 --> 00:34:30,960
Speaker 1: your dad doing? I can't believe he's doing well right now.

739
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 7: They only watched this week the Lions on Monday Night.

740
00:34:42,239 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 7: I'm gonna turn off the TV for a few days.

741
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:49,719
Speaker 7: Dog Lions win Primetime Football, Talk of the Nation. Exciting

742
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:53,359
Speaker 7: times there for coach Dan Campbell, healthy. Aiden Hutchinson did

743
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,680
Speaker 7: a great job on Lamar Jackson Monday night. That's the

744
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,600
Speaker 7: only game my dad's watched this week. I think, no

745
00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:06,040
Speaker 7: base No, it's uh. This is uh as as I had.

746
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:09,760
Speaker 7: As I was typing out that that post, I said,

747
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 7: my goodness, this, uh, this sounds pretty real for my

748
00:35:13,239 --> 00:35:16,280
Speaker 7: for my home state, and it is listen, uh everything

749
00:35:16,320 --> 00:35:20,879
Speaker 7: about this game, that the bizarre sixth inning, the bund

750
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,840
Speaker 7: that went awry, and then obviously the concern over David

751
00:35:24,840 --> 00:35:29,040
Speaker 7: Fry's health and that that play in that situation, the balk.

752
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 7: It just it was a surreal series of events. And

753
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 7: and now the Tigers can no longer casually explain away

754
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:43,240
Speaker 7: what's happened. This is a this is a collapse of

755
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,760
Speaker 7: biblical proportions that is now unfolding. And if they can't

756
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:51,400
Speaker 7: write the ship here quickly. One of the big concerns

757
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:55,000
Speaker 7: now for Detroit is, of course they they lose the

758
00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,399
Speaker 7: tiebreaker to the Guardian. So so it's not only that

759
00:35:58,480 --> 00:36:02,279
Speaker 7: they need to to keep even with the Guardians, they

760
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 7: have to actually go past them again, and it's just

761
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:09,440
Speaker 7: not easy to do that. The Guardians are hot, playing well,

762
00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:12,839
Speaker 7: and then when the Tigers are done playing Cleveland, they

763
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:14,640
Speaker 7: got to go to Fenway. And then the Red Sox

764
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 7: just won a game tonight against a really tough team

765
00:36:17,560 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 7: in Toronto. And oh, by the way, tomorrow night, the

766
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:23,400
Speaker 7: Red Sox have Garrett crochean the mound against the Blue Jays.

767
00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:26,839
Speaker 7: So you start looking around and asking yourself, where are

768
00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:29,319
Speaker 7: the wins going to come from? Where are they going

769
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:31,920
Speaker 7: to get some wins? And they may just have to

770
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:36,840
Speaker 7: hope that the Astros stumble down the stretch. Obviously, the

771
00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:40,120
Speaker 7: lost three games playing against the Aids tonight now, but

772
00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 7: the mathematics no longer favored the Tigers. They are in

773
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 7: a world of hurt. And oh, by the way, their

774
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:51,640
Speaker 7: starter on Thursday, his name is td D TVD is

775
00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 7: who they've got starting Thursday's game with everything on the line.

776
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: JPA was interesting you use the term of biblical proportions

777
00:36:58,120 --> 00:37:00,799
Speaker 1: because we're wondering if there are any Billy go Texas

778
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: trips to the crossroads that have helped to spur this on.

779
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:09,799
Speaker 7: Well, I'll tell you what we as michigan ors, may

780
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 7: need to learn and see exactly what has transpired if

781
00:37:13,440 --> 00:37:17,600
Speaker 7: there is another curse here in our state. We've got

782
00:37:17,600 --> 00:37:20,400
Speaker 7: the curse of Bobby Lane. The Red Wings, of course,

783
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 7: ended their long drought back in nineteen ninety seven, but

784
00:37:24,200 --> 00:37:26,279
Speaker 7: you do start to wonder. Back in six there was

785
00:37:26,320 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 7: the bizarre pitchers having a hard time throwing the bases,

786
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:32,759
Speaker 7: a few different things going on in that era. They

787
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 7: missed the playoffs, the big collapse in two thousand and nine,

788
00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 7: But I have not seen anything quite like this. I

789
00:37:38,880 --> 00:37:41,880
Speaker 7: guess I'll say this, it's the curse of not re

790
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 7: signing Justin Verlander. He was available last winter. He's gone

791
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,120
Speaker 7: on to have a very solid season with the Giants. Instead,

792
00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:51,759
Speaker 7: the Tigers, for the same amount of money, signed a

793
00:37:51,800 --> 00:37:54,360
Speaker 7: pitcher and Alex Cobb, who did not throw a single

794
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,880
Speaker 7: pitch for them this season. Zero did not throw a pitch.

795
00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:03,400
Speaker 7: One year contract for more than ten million dollars and

796
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,799
Speaker 7: didn't pitch, And they could have signed Verlander for the

797
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,320
Speaker 7: same amount of money. For some reason, they didn't, And

798
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:14,440
Speaker 7: now they are sadly for the Tigers dealing with those consequences.

799
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: See, I think it's a little bit. It's just to

800
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 1: widen the net here, John Paul is that I think

801
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 1: this is what's going on, and I think you're at

802
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: the crux of it. Because every year you picked the

803
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,360
Speaker 1: Mariners to win the division. That's right, you picked. This

804
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:28,000
Speaker 1: has been what eight years in a row you have

805
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: picked the Seattle Mariners to win the AL West. Now

806
00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 1: it's going to happen. So the baseball God is saying,

807
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, there's got to be a yin and yang here.

808
00:38:35,760 --> 00:38:38,399
Speaker 1: So I'm giving you the Tigers absolute epic collapse. I'll

809
00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 1: give you the Mariners who are going to win that

810
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:44,320
Speaker 1: division finally, but you have to take the Tigers epic collapse.

811
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:47,160
Speaker 7: Right and again. The Mariners get a chance to try

812
00:38:47,200 --> 00:38:51,399
Speaker 7: to complete this by defeating the Kylada Rockies this week,

813
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 7: which I like their chances to win this series they're

814
00:38:54,440 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 7: playing right now. But you're right, after all these years

815
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:01,239
Speaker 7: of now picking the Mariners. And let's make this point too.

816
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,840
Speaker 7: You look at the American League East and guess what

817
00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:07,600
Speaker 7: team is now just one game back of the division lead.

818
00:39:08,120 --> 00:39:12,520
Speaker 7: The New York Yankees, And there were certain teams that

819
00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 7: we thought if you looked back two weeks ago, or

820
00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,959
Speaker 7: even a couple a few days ago, you said, well,

821
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,560
Speaker 7: the two buys in the American League could very easily

822
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 7: belong to the Tigers and the Blue Jays. Well, the

823
00:39:24,239 --> 00:39:26,320
Speaker 7: Jays are now in the fight for their lives to

824
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:29,720
Speaker 7: try to stay in the top spot of the American

825
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:31,759
Speaker 7: League East, with only a one game lead. Now the

826
00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:35,359
Speaker 7: Tigers are barely even in the playoff picture. Right now,

827
00:39:35,840 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 7: if the Astros win tonight, the Tigers are officially out

828
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:41,880
Speaker 7: of a spot at least for the time being. So

829
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,719
Speaker 7: a lot of things at play, and all the things

830
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:48,320
Speaker 7: that you thought were going to happen, like the Tigers

831
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:50,120
Speaker 7: having the best record in the American League, they may

832
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 7: not even make the playoffs. And now the Seattle Mariners, who,

833
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:57,280
Speaker 7: by the way, and I'll make this distinction, the Tigers

834
00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:02,360
Speaker 7: had a very passive, underwhelming deadline. The Mariners were very aggressive,

835
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:05,960
Speaker 7: and and I think sometimes when you are aggressive, it

836
00:40:06,040 --> 00:40:10,200
Speaker 7: sends the right message to your clubhouse. The Tigers, they didn't,

837
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 7: and I think that as a result, the Tigers have

838
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 7: lacked a little swagger here lately. Whereas you look at

839
00:40:16,960 --> 00:40:19,640
Speaker 7: the Mariners and then people like a Hanio Suadez and

840
00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:22,439
Speaker 7: Josh Taylor who came over at the deadline. I think

841
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 7: those those two players have helped drive a culture that

842
00:40:25,680 --> 00:40:29,399
Speaker 7: might finally prove me right and win the American League West.

843
00:40:29,800 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 3: JP and my friend Jason Smith over here has had

844
00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 3: a nice roller coaster season with his beloved New York Mets.

845
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 1: They get it's not been nice. It's not been nice.

846
00:40:37,120 --> 00:40:38,520
Speaker 1: Don't tell me it's been a nice seat. It's not

847
00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:42,040
Speaker 1: been nice. It's not nice nice to use a very.

848
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 3: Positive sounding word, even although we know better, incredibly can

849
00:40:48,160 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 3: anybody that's watched this, But but you've dived off of

850
00:40:51,080 --> 00:40:54,400
Speaker 3: their wagon repeatedly. H Is he going to get to

851
00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:56,400
Speaker 3: the finish line with this squad? Or are they going

852
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,359
Speaker 3: to be left on the outside looking into where he's

853
00:40:58,360 --> 00:40:59,919
Speaker 3: eating hoggen dass and cry.

854
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 7: They're in. They're going to be in the big comeback

855
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,040
Speaker 7: win tonight at Wrigley. And Jason again, they tend to

856
00:41:08,040 --> 00:41:11,080
Speaker 7: play well during the weeks in which I'm going to

857
00:41:11,120 --> 00:41:13,880
Speaker 7: see them, and I will be there at Wrigley on Thursday,

858
00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 7: so I will be there. It's our final MLB Network

859
00:41:18,080 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 7: showcase game of the week I get to stay here

860
00:41:20,280 --> 00:41:22,840
Speaker 7: in the Midwest, I'm going to go to Chicago, and

861
00:41:23,320 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 7: I'm looking at this team thinking that comeback they had

862
00:41:27,239 --> 00:41:33,120
Speaker 7: tonight says a lot about their intestinal fortitude, if you will.

863
00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,359
Speaker 7: And the other piece of the puzzle that I think

864
00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,640
Speaker 7: is so fascinating is that Juan Soto has had one

865
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,080
Speaker 7: of his best seasons of his entire career this season,

866
00:41:42,719 --> 00:41:47,200
Speaker 7: and it's not getting nearly the national love that that

867
00:41:47,280 --> 00:41:52,439
Speaker 7: season deserves. He has been outstanding, especially lately, and so

868
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 7: I'm bullish on the metsage. And I get to see

869
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:58,080
Speaker 7: Brandon spro pitch in person with the first time on Thursday.

870
00:41:58,160 --> 00:42:02,920
Speaker 7: So it's all falling into place. And and Jason, I

871
00:42:02,960 --> 00:42:06,600
Speaker 7: think that my father, the people in my great home state,

872
00:42:06,880 --> 00:42:09,680
Speaker 7: they're just hoping to borrow some of Jason Smith's optimism.

873
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:12,440
Speaker 7: They just said they want to they want to borrow

874
00:42:12,560 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 7: your your perpetual look at the sunny side of life.

875
00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 7: And I think that if you can share some of

876
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:22,680
Speaker 7: that that zen like status, we would greatly appreciate it.

877
00:42:23,040 --> 00:42:25,080
Speaker 1: Good, good, go much, guys. I'm gonna give you something

878
00:42:25,200 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: very calm. He you see Sternsy David Stearns, who runs

879
00:42:28,200 --> 00:42:31,320
Speaker 1: the Mets, your your former college roommate. Uh, just you

880
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: pass this along. I'm so happy. No more petersoner Maniah

881
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:37,120
Speaker 1: the rest of this year. No, no more. I don't

882
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,400
Speaker 1: want to see them on the mound again ever the

883
00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:41,320
Speaker 1: rest of the season. So you can bring him that message.

884
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 5: I will.

885
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:44,560
Speaker 7: I will be happy to convey that to him.

886
00:42:44,719 --> 00:42:47,360
Speaker 1: He's been wearing that sandwich born around town. JP.

887
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 7: Here's my question for you, my esteemed friend and radio host.

888
00:42:52,680 --> 00:42:55,000
Speaker 7: I'm going to now turn the question back to you. Sure,

889
00:42:55,239 --> 00:42:59,040
Speaker 7: bring three game series wild card series for the Mets.

890
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,240
Speaker 7: Who are your three starting pitchers?

891
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 1: Oh, McLain, McClain, rain delay, snow delay McClain, McLain, No

892
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:12,759
Speaker 1: McLain sprote and Tong. You're going yes, I'm going to

893
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,120
Speaker 1: all the kids and if you need to piggyback, because

894
00:43:15,120 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 1: I think piggyback. You know, it's funny we talked with

895
00:43:17,080 --> 00:43:19,440
Speaker 1: this last week. You know, the bullpen games have been

896
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:22,399
Speaker 1: really in vogue the last you know, five to seven

897
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: years and playoffs major League Baseball. I think piggybacking is

898
00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 1: going to be the new bullpen games where teams, oh,

899
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,399
Speaker 1: we can do this with our starting pitchers. The Mets

900
00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:31,160
Speaker 1: started to do it a little bit ago with some

901
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,960
Speaker 1: of their with with a couple of their guys, and

902
00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: it worked a little bit. So I can see a

903
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,520
Speaker 1: situation where hey, I can see a piggybacking of say

904
00:43:38,600 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: Tong and Clay Holmes, and that's how they're gonna do it.

905
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:43,680
Speaker 1: And I think more teams are gonna go, oh, we

906
00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: don't kill our bullpen. We can you know, we use

907
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 1: two starting pitch, which we can do. Hey, why not

908
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:51,359
Speaker 1: do that? And that might work out better for us?

909
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 1: I think the I think the what teams like the

910
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:54,600
Speaker 1: Mets are doing this is the beginning of a new,

911
00:43:54,760 --> 00:43:55,880
Speaker 1: a new trend in baseball.

912
00:43:55,960 --> 00:44:00,160
Speaker 7: I love it, and I am sure. Let let a

913
00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 7: Baseball record reflect you heard it here first on the

914
00:44:04,640 --> 00:44:08,520
Speaker 7: Jason Smith Show, that this is the new paradigm of

915
00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:12,440
Speaker 7: pitching in Major League Baseball in the postseason. Is the

916
00:44:12,520 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 7: piggyback instead of the bullpen game. I love the idea,

917
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 7: and let me tell you why I love the idea

918
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,800
Speaker 7: the way that you're describing it. If you are putting

919
00:44:21,840 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 7: a young pitcher into a postseason cauldron, as the Toronto

920
00:44:26,160 --> 00:44:29,399
Speaker 7: Blue Jays may also do with Trey Savage, you might

921
00:44:29,440 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 7: as well have the young man keep the role that

922
00:44:32,600 --> 00:44:37,120
Speaker 7: he's had for his entire career. They're all starting pitchers.

923
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:41,239
Speaker 7: It's asking a lot of Jonah Thong to come into

924
00:44:41,280 --> 00:44:45,040
Speaker 7: a seventh inning, men on base, complete chaos, you're on

925
00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:48,640
Speaker 7: the road, the crowds going berserk. Why do that? Let

926
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,680
Speaker 7: him start, He's been a starter, that's what he's comfortable doing.

927
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,160
Speaker 7: And then have someone like Clay Holmes, who has relieved

928
00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,799
Speaker 7: for most of his major league career, have play do that.

929
00:44:59,320 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 7: I think that you are now an adjunct professor on

930
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:08,560
Speaker 7: the School of Baseball at City Field, and I shall

931
00:45:08,600 --> 00:45:12,680
Speaker 7: convey when I see my good friends Carlos Mendoza bench

932
00:45:12,719 --> 00:45:16,680
Speaker 7: coach John Gibbons, I'll convey your your plan, and I

933
00:45:16,719 --> 00:45:21,720
Speaker 7: think that I suspect they will look favorably upon it.

934
00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,120
Speaker 1: You get one of those adjunct professorships, go in there

935
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 1: and speak wisdom.

936
00:45:26,600 --> 00:45:30,080
Speaker 7: Adjunct Jason Smith. Let's get so, Mike, here's the thing.

937
00:45:30,760 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 7: Maybe for for Christmas, for him holidays, you know, get

938
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:39,279
Speaker 7: him a gift that is Jason Smith, adjunct Professor the

939
00:45:39,400 --> 00:45:41,040
Speaker 7: School of Baseball.

940
00:45:42,680 --> 00:45:43,880
Speaker 1: I think we sure start.

941
00:45:43,800 --> 00:45:46,920
Speaker 3: Card well, it's probably I mean people would want a

942
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:49,000
Speaker 3: degree in that. I mean they can print one from home.

943
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:52,560
Speaker 1: It'll work. Let me ask you one one thing before

944
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:53,120
Speaker 1: we let you go.

945
00:45:53,239 --> 00:45:57,600
Speaker 3: JP plenty of time to chew this over the off season,

946
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:02,160
Speaker 3: but on Tuesday, the the Competition Committee voted to bring

947
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,239
Speaker 3: in the robot OMPs. A lot to be sorted out

948
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 3: and details that we'll deal with over time here, But

949
00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:12,120
Speaker 3: what's your any immediate reaction to it.

950
00:46:12,760 --> 00:46:15,480
Speaker 7: I think that it's good. It was inevitable that it

951
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,680
Speaker 7: was going to happen, just based on the data that

952
00:46:17,719 --> 00:46:20,839
Speaker 7: had been coming in. The Commissioner talked about this at

953
00:46:20,920 --> 00:46:26,239
Speaker 7: length in recent months years. MLB has put a ton

954
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:30,080
Speaker 7: of research and thought into the rule changes, and I

955
00:46:30,120 --> 00:46:33,520
Speaker 7: do think this will change the way that we watch

956
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:38,080
Speaker 7: the game in a more profound way than the pitch timer.

957
00:46:38,120 --> 00:46:41,479
Speaker 7: The pitch timer, to be honest, guys, I barely even

958
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,319
Speaker 7: think about it anymore. I know that it's there, I

959
00:46:44,360 --> 00:46:48,879
Speaker 7: know the game is moving faster, but I often don't

960
00:46:48,880 --> 00:46:51,600
Speaker 7: think about it. I do think about the number of engagements.

961
00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:54,200
Speaker 7: I think about the bigger basis and how many stolen

962
00:46:54,239 --> 00:46:56,960
Speaker 7: bases we see now. That stuff I think about, But

963
00:46:57,040 --> 00:46:59,239
Speaker 7: the timer I don't. I think this is going to

964
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:03,960
Speaker 7: be a little bit distinctive in that by definition, multiple

965
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 7: times per game, we're going to be reminded of this,

966
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 7: of the existence of this technology. And I think the

967
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:16,480
Speaker 7: most fascinating thing, Mike will be internal and how teams

968
00:47:16,560 --> 00:47:21,160
Speaker 7: say which players can challenge, how those players feel about it,

969
00:47:21,560 --> 00:47:24,600
Speaker 7: how you feel if if you get a chance to challenge,

970
00:47:25,440 --> 00:47:28,239
Speaker 7: or if a teammate gets privileged to challenge at any

971
00:47:28,280 --> 00:47:31,719
Speaker 7: time and you don't. It's like having a sibling who

972
00:47:31,760 --> 00:47:35,040
Speaker 7: has a different curfew than you do, and it's that

973
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:40,520
Speaker 7: is a very complicated feeling that I think will internally

974
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:46,200
Speaker 7: unfold in fascinating ways that have far reaching implications, so

975
00:47:46,280 --> 00:47:49,799
Speaker 7: that this is objectively one of the biggest changes we

976
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 7: have seen. Of all the changes that have occurred under

977
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:53,640
Speaker 7: Rob Manford, I think this is one of the most

978
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:57,839
Speaker 7: important and most most transformative, honestly for the game of baseball.

979
00:47:57,880 --> 00:47:58,000
Speaker 3: Right.

980
00:47:58,080 --> 00:48:03,800
Speaker 1: Lastly, John Paul, your moonlighting job as NFL Detroit Lions prognosticator.

981
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,319
Speaker 1: They are favored by eight and a half points at

982
00:48:06,320 --> 00:48:09,880
Speaker 1: home this week against the Browns. What's the final score?

983
00:48:10,920 --> 00:48:17,200
Speaker 7: Detroit twenty eight, Cleveland seventeen seventeen.

984
00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:21,719
Speaker 1: Wow? You think twenty eight points in fairness?

985
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:25,759
Speaker 7: I was close on the margin of victory for the

986
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,360
Speaker 7: Lions over the Ravens. I didn't have the total points correct,

987
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,680
Speaker 7: but I was darn close on the on the margin,

988
00:48:30,800 --> 00:48:33,720
Speaker 7: so I might be honest with this year. Got the guys,

989
00:48:33,800 --> 00:48:37,279
Speaker 7: if the Mariners are going to win the division, this

990
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,120
Speaker 7: is the year of the MOROSSI.

991
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:41,760
Speaker 1: A, yeah, but that means you might get cocky. JP.

992
00:48:41,920 --> 00:48:43,799
Speaker 1: You got to make sure you check yourself. That's how

993
00:48:43,800 --> 00:48:45,120
Speaker 1: people get the trouble.

994
00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:48,000
Speaker 7: Within yourself in yourself.

995
00:48:48,360 --> 00:48:51,760
Speaker 1: See John Paul Morose, the MLB Network, Mets and the Cubs.

996
00:48:51,800 --> 00:48:54,200
Speaker 1: Plenty of offense coming up rest of this week at

997
00:48:54,200 --> 00:48:56,839
Speaker 1: Wrigley with the wind blowing out. John Paul is always

998
00:48:56,880 --> 00:48:59,320
Speaker 1: buddy appreciated, enjoy the games. We'll talk to you next week.

999
00:48:59,280 --> 00:49:00,839
Speaker 7: Looking forward to and thank you so much.

1000
00:49:01,040 --> 00:49:03,839
Speaker 1: See you, buddy. Right there goes John Paul Morosi. Great

1001
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:05,960
Speaker 1: stuff from him as always. He must really think the

1002
00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:07,680
Speaker 1: Lions are gonna score a lot of points because normally

1003
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:10,680
Speaker 1: he says twenty four, but twenty eight now for the WHOA,

1004
00:49:10,719 --> 00:49:11,839
Speaker 1: that's a big offensive thing.

1005
00:49:12,320 --> 00:49:15,120
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, look, he's banking on Joe Flack go

1006
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:18,080
Speaker 3: to give up seven maybe short fields.

1007
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:18,719
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1008
00:49:18,760 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 3: We'll see Aiden Hutchinson maybe with a little punch out

1009
00:49:22,600 --> 00:49:23,879
Speaker 3: and strips, that kind of thing.

1010
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:24,680
Speaker 1: I don't know, we'll see
