00:00:49,800 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 4: the NFL season kicks off. We have some great I

19
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 4: would say, little appetizers Thursday night and Friday night, but

20
00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 4: now we get the main course. I'm excited about it.

21
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 2: It is unbelievable. Before we get God, let me talk

22
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:03,520
Speaker 2: a little college football for a second, right, now, And

23
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 2: I know I said this to you the other day,

24
00:01:05,720 --> 00:01:08,039
Speaker 2: and now you kind of poo pooed it because you said,

25
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: the Heisman Trophy basically is an award for the best

26
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 2: quarterback in the country in the college level. Right, That's

27
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:15,679
Speaker 2: what we said, and I'm saying now now, I said,

28
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: the big o' is going to get it. Oli Gordon,

29
00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:19,759
Speaker 2: I guy, I love this guy. So on play last

30
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,400
Speaker 2: year when they played Cincinnati, Oklahoma State squeezes past Auklins

31
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 2: so yes day thirty nine to thirty one. So what

32
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:27,559
Speaker 2: I'm the kiss of death. I am the kiss of death.

33
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,119
Speaker 2: Olli Gordon seventeen carries for forty nine yards. So that's

34
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,440
Speaker 2: the end of his Heisman Trophy. It's over. I mean, really,

35
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:35,840
Speaker 2: he ain't gonna get the Heisman now, I mean, come on,

36
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,119
Speaker 2: why did I say that I cursed him?

37
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 4: I did, Yeah, I mean I don't know if you

38
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 4: directly cursed him. But when you have a performance like

39
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,800
Speaker 4: that early, when you have all eves on you, you

40
00:01:48,880 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: have to captivate the attention of the voters. And I'm look,

41
00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 4: they're not gonna be captivated by a forty nine yard performance.

42
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 4: You have to put it two hundred plus yards to

43
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,200
Speaker 4: keep the flame going because there's so many quarterbacks in

44
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Speaker 4: this campaign that you have to deal with. If you don't,

45
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 4: if you have a bad night, it's gonna be hard

46
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 4: to kind of maintain the momentum to be in the contention.

47
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,240
Speaker 2: Okay, and speaking of a running backs or Ashton Genty

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 2: that the kid from Boise I mean, they almost took

49
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: care of Oregon late last night, thirty seven thirty for

50
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 2: this guy around for what hundred and ninety two yards,

51
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:20,840
Speaker 2: three touchdowns on twenty five carries. So now he's my

52
00:02:20,880 --> 00:02:22,720
Speaker 2: new guy. I don't want to curse him. I don't

53
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 2: want to give him the kiss of death, but I mean, honestly,

54
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: Boise State, how did boise get a guy like this?

55
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,280
Speaker 2: That's what I'd like to know. They're not even on

56
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: the radar of major college and they're like pushing Oregon

57
00:02:33,320 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 2: to the limit. Thirty seven thirty four that had to

58
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: win Oregon then on a sixty one yard drive that

59
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: ended with a twenty seven yard field goal to win

60
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:42,880
Speaker 2: the ball game. It's amazing. I can't believe it.

61
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 4: Now, hold on that you're talking like Boise State doesn't

62
00:02:46,600 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 4: have a tradition of being a really good football team.

63
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 4: You have to understand they've had really good football teams

64
00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:56,000
Speaker 4: until the last three four years. They've always been I

65
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,280
Speaker 4: wouldn't say a regional powerhouse, but they look Chris Peterson

66
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 4: had competing at high levels, Dan Hawkins like, they've had

67
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 4: Dirt Cutter. They've had a run of like fifteen to

68
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 4: twenty years where they've been really, really good and they

69
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:12,880
Speaker 4: have been able to I would say, identify, draft and

70
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: develop a lot of kids that were kind of flew

71
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: under the recruiting radar. And so with transfer portal and

72
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 4: NIL like, it's kind of changed their dynamic a little bit.

73
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:24,440
Speaker 4: But that's always been a really good team and their

74
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 4: games in the past against Oregon have always been very competitive.

75
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 2: The question I have right now, I could see in

76
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,200
Speaker 2: years past before NIL, you know, you could kind of

77
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,040
Speaker 2: get a diamond in the rough. You go out recruiting

78
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 2: and get a kid who wasn't recruited by a Big

79
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: ten school, whatever it may be, and he's bypassed, and

80
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you get a nugget over there.

81
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:45,520
Speaker 2: It goes to Boise State. Now it's all about kids home.

82
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 2: You recruit them and the kids says how much you're

83
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: gonna pay me. Does Boise State have that kind of

84
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 2: a lumbase they're going to write a check and get

85
00:03:51,600 --> 00:03:52,960
Speaker 2: these players to go to Boise.

86
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 4: I mean, they can do some of that stuff, but

87
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 4: I don't think that's their main focus. Their main focus

88
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 4: has been in the past to really take underrated players

89
00:04:00,920 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 4: and developed them and keep them in the system for

90
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 4: four or five years, and collectively as a unit as

91
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 4: a team, they've been being able to do it. They've

92
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:11,360
Speaker 4: always played pretty good defense, but they've always been innovative

93
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 4: when it comes to the offensive side of the ball,

94
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 4: shifting motioning, the way they ran their spread. They've had

95
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 4: really good college quarterbacks to do it. Kellen Moore came

96
00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 4: from there. Like they have just always been a really

97
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,800
Speaker 4: good college football team, and so I'm not surprised to

98
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 4: see them push Oregon to the limit. But I will

99
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 4: say back to back weeks Oregon has been pushed by

100
00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 4: I would say lightweights. They can figure it out. But

101
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,840
Speaker 4: a lot of the conversation that we had about Oregon

102
00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 4: about being a title contender and being in the mix

103
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,280
Speaker 4: and Dylan Gabriel and all those things, I think we've

104
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:44,039
Speaker 4: got to pump the brakes until they prove that they

105
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 4: can knock out some of these teams are just supposed

106
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: to knock.

107
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:48,560
Speaker 2: Off all right, I will tell you this much. Right now,

108
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:50,440
Speaker 2: there's a kid in the name of Canon Woodle. He

109
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 2: had a thirty five yard field goal thirty one seconds

110
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:54,800
Speaker 2: to go. Northern Illinois beats up Unknoe your name. I

111
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,640
Speaker 2: will tell you right now that this kid, Canon Woodle,

112
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,719
Speaker 2: the kicker who won the game from will pay for

113
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:03,080
Speaker 2: a meal in the Calber, Illinois for the rest of

114
00:05:03,080 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: his life. Never now, that's just a way to may

115
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 2: be illegal. I'm telling you right now, he can go

116
00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:09,640
Speaker 2: to any restaurant. I know how many restaurants there are

117
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:12,880
Speaker 2: in the Calb Illinois, the home of Northern Illinois University.

118
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 2: For them to beat Notre Dame sixteen fourteen at Notre

119
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:20,919
Speaker 2: Dame yesterday, maybe the riley will be the biggest upset

120
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: of the year this year in college football. And to me,

121
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 2: right now, forget it not to day, it's over. Season's

122
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 2: over for them. I don't care how many teams are

123
00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:29,960
Speaker 2: going to the playoffs. They're not in the conference. They

124
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 2: are done, done du and then done.

125
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,920
Speaker 4: They're not done. It's too early to say that they're

126
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 4: done because of the twelve team playoff and Notre Dame

127
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,640
Speaker 4: has special favor when it comes to the playoffs. But

128
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 4: what I will say it was always going to be

129
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,720
Speaker 4: challenging for this team to go from the high beating

130
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: Texas A and M to showing up and playing the

131
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,680
Speaker 4: next week. And what Marcus Freeman and what Notre Dame

132
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 4: learned is the ability to win at a high level

133
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 4: to get into rare fright air comes down to your

134
00:06:00,640 --> 00:06:04,359
Speaker 4: ability to focus and to be consistent. And the focus

135
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,120
Speaker 4: comes from a being able to treat every game as

136
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 4: if it's the most important game on your schedule. And

137
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,720
Speaker 4: then the consistency is they got to show up each

138
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 4: and every week. Their main players have to show up.

139
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 4: But until they really figure out what they have in

140
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 4: the quarterback, it'd be hard for this team to be consistent.

141
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 4: Until they understand and build the game plan around how

142
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,520
Speaker 4: he really needs to play based on his talents, they're

143
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 4: gonna struggle. And the thing about college football that you

144
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:33,160
Speaker 4: don't have the luxury of when you're there, you don't

145
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 4: have preseason games. You don't get a chance to work

146
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,680
Speaker 4: out the kinks without it affecting your mark and the

147
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,520
Speaker 4: pros you have preseason games where you can work on things,

148
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 4: and that college you're not afforded that grace period, and

149
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,400
Speaker 4: so sometimes you lose a game that you wish that

150
00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: you hadn't because there are simple things that could have

151
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 4: been worked out kind of in training camp.

152
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:56,480
Speaker 2: You're a judge of talent, and I respect your opinion

153
00:06:56,520 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 2: on talent. Right now, I'm telling you right now, they

154
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:01,479
Speaker 2: got a problem at the quarterback position. Leonard. He was

155
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:03,800
Speaker 2: kind of shaky when they beat A and M a

156
00:07:03,800 --> 00:07:06,560
Speaker 2: week ago. He did nothing to improve himself. Yesterday, heard

157
00:07:06,600 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 2: that interception that gave the Huskies the ball at midfield

158
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 2: and they went on. They scored the field goal in

159
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: the bingo. That's all it was. It then, and to

160
00:07:13,840 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 2: put the icing on the cake, nojre dame. I think

161
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: they attended like a sixty or sixty two yard field

162
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 2: goal as the clock was going to oh oh oh,

163
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,800
Speaker 2: and guess what, the Huskies blocked it. They blocked it.

164
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: And I mean it was unbelievable really to lose to

165
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 2: Northern Illinois because I'm sure Northern Illinois got a big

166
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: payday check to come in there and play. That's like

167
00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 2: the biggest slop on the face you can get. You

168
00:07:34,200 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 2: bring a team in to get a win, to buy

169
00:07:36,120 --> 00:07:38,160
Speaker 2: a win, but you know what, you lose the game

170
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:39,880
Speaker 2: and they get to check the goal away as well.

171
00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. No, that's a tough one. I mean that's a

172
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:48,640
Speaker 4: real that's a real tough one to play a lesser

173
00:07:48,720 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 4: rated team, to play a team that you should should

174
00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,920
Speaker 4: dominate based on the talent that you have compared to

175
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 4: what's on their roster. To lose it in the home

176
00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:00,840
Speaker 4: opening in front of all your fans as who were excited,

177
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,280
Speaker 4: who were ready to have a party. Yeah, that's a

178
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:05,400
Speaker 4: tough one. Yes, I mean that's a tough one, and

179
00:08:05,440 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 4: that's hard. That's going to be hard for Marcus Freeman

180
00:08:09,160 --> 00:08:12,080
Speaker 4: to overcome, just the backlash in terms of the conversation

181
00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 4: and those things. But what you hope is you learn

182
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 4: from it, your team learns from it, and then that

183
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 4: they are able to find a way to move forward

184
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,320
Speaker 4: and have a level of success that makes everyone forget

185
00:08:23,320 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 4: that they dropped one. But for Northern Illinois, I mean,

186
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 4: it's a game of a lifetime. I mean, this is

187
00:08:27,920 --> 00:08:32,520
Speaker 4: one that will kind of be always in their highlight packages,

188
00:08:32,559 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 4: always in their recruiting footage, always talked about because it's

189
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:38,320
Speaker 4: a major upset for them to go on the road

190
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 4: and to be the top five team.

191
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 2: And I like Malcus Freeman. He was a coordinator here

192
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:44,000
Speaker 2: at the University of Cincinnati. I was shocked when it

193
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:45,840
Speaker 2: got the job. A note today, I wish him well

194
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,320
Speaker 2: and I think he handled it quite nicely after the

195
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,920
Speaker 2: game because he said we've been there before, because several

196
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 2: years ago when he was there, they lost to Marshall, So,

197
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he understands that. But I just don't think

198
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,480
Speaker 2: a team could come and not he prepared to a

199
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 2: home game your place. I mean, it's your deal, and

200
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:08,199
Speaker 2: against the team that you're supposed to be. Then I

201
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,560
Speaker 2: heard some of the commentators saying they're bad the press clippings.

202
00:09:10,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 2: I don't know. Is it the coach's fault that they

203
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: weren't ready to play?

204
00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 5: I don't know.

205
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,040
Speaker 2: I mean I think that would have.

206
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 4: Ultimately, Ultimately he's responsible, I mean, whether we like to

207
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:21,959
Speaker 4: admit it or not. Yet, Like it falls on the

208
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:25,400
Speaker 4: feat of the coach and he can't control each individual player.

209
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 4: But man, you just hope that you can just give

210
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 4: them the lessons and tell them, guys, we got to

211
00:09:29,040 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 4: be ready to seem as good and locked in and

212
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,679
Speaker 4: prepared in those things. And there's going to be some

213
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,880
Speaker 4: volatility in the college games because you're dealing with eighteen

214
00:09:36,920 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 4: to twenty two year olds. But a program like Notre Dame,

215
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:44,559
Speaker 4: where the talent should be superior to what Northern Illinois had,

216
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,040
Speaker 4: they should be able to beat them even when they're

217
00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,600
Speaker 4: not having their best game.

218
00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 2: Right right, Look, I think Notre Dame should be Northern

219
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:53,800
Speaker 2: Online ten on eleven, I really do. I mean, that's

220
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,439
Speaker 2: the way it should be. But it didn't work out

221
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 2: that way till about quarterback problems to not Jday. What

222
00:09:57,800 --> 00:10:01,360
Speaker 2: about quarterback problems? Now for Michigan, Davis Warren had a

223
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,800
Speaker 2: bad performance a week ago. Although they did beat Fresno

224
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: State yesterday, Texas drilled them at home in the big House.

225
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:11,400
Speaker 2: That to me showed me a lot. And honestly, Jim

226
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 2: Hawba is the smartest guy in the world. He knew

227
00:10:14,040 --> 00:10:16,600
Speaker 2: everybody's leaving after this year. He packed up his bags

228
00:10:16,600 --> 00:10:19,240
Speaker 2: and went to the NFL thirty one to twelve. Michigan loses,

229
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:21,079
Speaker 2: and it's going to be a long year for Michigan

230
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 2: as well.

231
00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:24,360
Speaker 4: Mimi. I wouldn't go so far as say it's going

232
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:26,920
Speaker 4: to be a long year. I think was exposed is

233
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 4: the gap between what they have returning and what Texas have,

234
00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 4: And maybe we need to give Texas more credit. This

235
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,079
Speaker 4: is a team that better the way into the playoff

236
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 4: last year, lost in the semifinal. But what Steve Sarkejian

237
00:10:38,320 --> 00:10:41,920
Speaker 4: has done is he's quietly built a superpower down in Texas.

238
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:44,199
Speaker 4: He has taken all the lessons that he's learned from

239
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 4: his time at USC under Pete Carroll, his time at

240
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 4: Alabama under Nick Saban, his own experience previously as a

241
00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 4: head coach, and he is taking those things and really

242
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 4: put him into action by building a team that is

243
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 4: going to be around for a while that is a

244
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 4: heavyweight contended. They have everything. They have size, speed, they

245
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 4: have physicality, they have playmakers, they have a quarterback. It's

246
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 4: a really good program and they look really good going

247
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:11,000
Speaker 4: on the road taking down the defending national champs.

248
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,000
Speaker 2: Should I put the kiss to death in their quarterback,

249
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 2: Quinn Ewers? I mean, yesterday you threw for a two

250
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,680
Speaker 2: forty six and three touchdowns. So is he a Heisman

251
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:19,960
Speaker 2: candidate right now? Because if I say that he'll be,

252
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 2: he'll probably fall into a manhole or something really, But

253
00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 2: is he updated with the Heisman candidates right now?

254
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,720
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know. I mean, I mean, he

255
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,719
Speaker 4: certainly is in the conversation as a Heisman candidate, and

256
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 4: it's so early in the race to we can't really

257
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:37,960
Speaker 4: make determinations on who's who and what's what. But what

258
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,360
Speaker 4: we can say is he's really good. And from an

259
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,280
Speaker 4: NFL perspective, he's on the radar. He is vying to

260
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 4: be the number one quarterback off the board, and you

261
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:50,240
Speaker 4: watch him play the poise, the savvy, uh, just the

262
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,120
Speaker 4: overall talent and the packaging. He's everything that you look

263
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:56,000
Speaker 4: for in the franchise quarterback. And if you can do

264
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,240
Speaker 4: it on the big stage with the long corns, you're

265
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,280
Speaker 4: confident that he's gonna be able to do it the right.

266
00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 2: One of the better games yesterday, really and truly was

267
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:09,000
Speaker 2: Iowa State beating Iowa in Iowa yesterday. Kyle Conrady had

268
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,040
Speaker 2: a fifty four yard field goal right down the stretch

269
00:12:11,040 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 2: and only it looked like a different team in the

270
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 2: second half. Iowa State was going to be thrown out

271
00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 2: of the stadium. In the first half. They came back.

272
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 2: They beat him. Twenty nineteen that's a big win for

273
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:24,160
Speaker 2: Iowa State, real big win because right now Iowa had

274
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 2: some offense in their first game of the year that

275
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 2: had some offense yesterday. That's unusual for that Iowa team.

276
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: The defensive basically they all defense, and yesterday come in

277
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 2: there at Iowa to lose. Big loss for Iowa yesterday.

278
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, big loss. And Kirk Faris's first game back, he

279
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 4: suspended for the first game, and so to see him

280
00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:46,360
Speaker 4: on the sideline, to see the hawk ass kind of

281
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,559
Speaker 4: doing their thing. You know, it's funny because they jump

282
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 4: out them and it looked like they were going to

283
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,040
Speaker 4: have their way with Iowa from beginning to end. It

284
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 4: looked like they were going to absolutely run them out

285
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 4: the building in a very physical fashion. Iowa State settled in.

286
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,560
Speaker 4: Matt Camill got great place from his quarterback. The second half.

287
00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 4: They made some time he stops and you look up

288
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,520
Speaker 4: the cyclone swipe one at the end. So it's a

289
00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 4: great win for that program. You know, they kind of

290
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,560
Speaker 4: made a rise where Matt Campbell's name was hot, he

291
00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 4: was interviewing for pro jobs. Then they fell back the

292
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: last two years. But now it seems like they're training

293
00:13:18,200 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 4: in the right direction. That was a big win for

294
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 4: them to knock off the Arcives.

295
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:22,719
Speaker 2: You know, I like Matt Campbell. I remember when he

296
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 2: coached the Telia. It was a good guy. They were

297
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,160
Speaker 2: down thirteen nothing at the half yesterday and their record

298
00:13:27,200 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 2: Iowa State was one and seven against Iowa going into

299
00:13:29,720 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 2: yesterday's game. So it was a big win for Matt Campbell.

300
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 2: He's a good guy and I'm glad to see that. Basically,

301
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:35,719
Speaker 2: they won that game. But you know, came into the

302
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,920
Speaker 2: segment today I said unranked, but interesting, and I'm talking

303
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,960
Speaker 2: about Colorado Nebraska. And look, you know I feel for

304
00:13:42,080 --> 00:13:44,760
Speaker 2: Deon sand I looked at him on the sidelines yesterday.

305
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,400
Speaker 2: He was like helpless. I mean, they got smashed by

306
00:13:47,480 --> 00:13:50,480
Speaker 2: Nebraska thirty six fourteen, and I felt bad for his son,

307
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 2: the quarterback, because he was sacked something like seven times yesterday.

308
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 2: It was it was unbelievable. I mean I had never

309
00:13:57,320 --> 00:14:00,640
Speaker 2: seen anything like that. And look, I understand both teams

310
00:14:00,679 --> 00:14:03,560
Speaker 2: are unranked, but to put them on national TV last

311
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: night tells you what he has done for the program.

312
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: You could complain. You may not like the Unsanders, you

313
00:14:09,280 --> 00:14:10,959
Speaker 2: may have some problems with what he does, how he

314
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 2: treats the press whatever it may be. But the point

315
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 2: is this, he has taken Colorado to another level where

316
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,360
Speaker 2: everybody wants to find out what they do good, bitter

317
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 2: and different. And that's why he was on national television

318
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 2: last night and that's why I watched the game.

319
00:14:23,160 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 4: Well yeah, no, I mean he's box office in terms

320
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,080
Speaker 4: of like the numbers that they generate when they're on TV.

321
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:32,480
Speaker 4: I mean significant. But at sometimes, at some time it's

322
00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 4: going to go away from being the novelty act and

323
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 4: they have to kind of show and prove that they're

324
00:14:38,160 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: worthy of like the spotlight and the attention and the

325
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:44,560
Speaker 4: conversation that they have. First thing, let me say this though,

326
00:14:44,760 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: Maverick's done a terrific job in Nebraska. Nebraska that we

327
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:53,119
Speaker 4: saw yesterday last night. Those are Nebraska teams of old, physical,

328
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 4: can run the football when they needed to because the court,

329
00:14:56,440 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 4: the score could have been a greater margin if not

330
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: for some pill needs brought some long runs back. The

331
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 4: quarterback is young, but he takes care of the ball,

332
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 4: dealing with Yola, and there's just an aura about that place.

333
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,640
Speaker 4: You saw that stadium. That stadium used to sell out.

334
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,160
Speaker 4: I think they had a streak of three hundred and

335
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 4: eighty seven straight sellouts at one point. I mean, Nebraska's back,

336
00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 4: and so it's a lot about DM but Nebraska is

337
00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:18,080
Speaker 4: certainly a really good program.

338
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,560
Speaker 2: Right, I mean, I just I don't understand how all

339
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 2: of a sudden, I mean, the team looked like they

340
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 2: had no one on the offensive line. I mean there

341
00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 2: was like no one there. I mean, is Nebraska that's strong?

342
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:28,000
Speaker 5: That good?

343
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 2: Are we going to see Nebraska really roll now? Or

344
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: is this when you know one of those things like well,

345
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 2: you know it's a fluke. I don't know. I mean

346
00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 2: they have the home crowd. I mean, they had like

347
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 2: ninety thousand people for a volleyball game in the Brassa.

348
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 2: These people are nuts. There's nothing else to do there,

349
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 2: I guess in Lincoln, right, I remember they had an

350
00:15:46,520 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: outdoor volleyball game last year for their volleyball team that

351
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: like ninety thousand. So what do they have over one

352
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,160
Speaker 2: hundred and ten thousand yesterday? It's unreal what they do

353
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:56,600
Speaker 2: over there. But they really gave it the Colorado When

354
00:15:56,600 --> 00:15:58,400
Speaker 2: I felt bad for Dan, I really did. I just

355
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:00,760
Speaker 2: I hope he doesn't pack it in after this year.

356
00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:02,720
Speaker 2: I really don't.

357
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think he's built like that.

358
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,120
Speaker 4: I don't think he's built to pack it in like that.

359
00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 4: But what I will say is they have to improve,

360
00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: and they have to improve in a few different areas

361
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,440
Speaker 4: and look into trenches is where games are going to

362
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,920
Speaker 4: be won at the highest level. You look at the

363
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 4: top teams in college football, they are good on the

364
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 4: offensive and defensive line. What I saw last night and

365
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 4: watching that game, Nebraska's really good on the defensive line.

366
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 4: They're single digit players, number zero, number one, number nine,

367
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,760
Speaker 4: the linebacker number five coming through. They made a lot

368
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 4: of plays and they really beat Colorado up without doing

369
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 4: a lot of tricks and blitzing and those things. They're

370
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 4: really good. I don't see the same from Colorado, but

371
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: I will say their defense has improved from last season.

372
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 4: Now their offense has to have a little more of

373
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: the consistency. It's early in the season and I would

374
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:55,360
Speaker 4: say reasonable expectations and Boulders should be to get this

375
00:16:55,440 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 4: team to seven wins so they can go to a

376
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 4: bowl game. In fact, it makes everyone think that they

377
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 4: should be national contenders right away. And some of that

378
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,960
Speaker 4: is his own fault because of the Bravado and the talk.

379
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 4: But if they can get to seven wins, that would

380
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 4: be success for me.

381
00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 2: Looking at Colorado, I love Travis Hunter. I love his attitude,

382
00:17:13,320 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: of his passion. I saw him on the sidelines yesterday.

383
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,119
Speaker 2: I mean he was just really he was upset. I

384
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 2: mean he was just a passionate guy. He's a great

385
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:22,159
Speaker 2: football player, and you know, I hope some of that

386
00:17:22,200 --> 00:17:24,840
Speaker 2: rubs off on his teammates over there. But hopefully they'll

387
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: come back strong next week. I'd like to see that

388
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:30,240
Speaker 2: told about strong Tennessee. They gave it to North Carolina

389
00:17:30,240 --> 00:17:33,080
Speaker 2: State yesterday fifty one to ten. I mean, honestly, on

390
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,119
Speaker 2: North Carolina State, you think that they may be a

391
00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:38,399
Speaker 2: shot to win the ACC and you would never believed yesterday.

392
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: Look at JV game against Tennessee. Tennessee's pretty strong too.

393
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:43,960
Speaker 2: I mean they held NC State like one hundred and

394
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:47,119
Speaker 2: forty total yards. Unbelievable. I'd like to say one one

395
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:49,679
Speaker 2: and a half yards per carry. A great defense for

396
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 2: Tennessee yesterday, Yeah.

397
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 4: Great defense for Tennessee. I mean, the volunteers are legit.

398
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 4: They have a calip A quarterback that's pretty good in Nico.

399
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,679
Speaker 4: They can run the football, they stretch you out. I mean,

400
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 4: they really stretch you with their offense and defensively, man,

401
00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:07,440
Speaker 4: they look like they're beginning to be built the right way.

402
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 4: This is a team that we've talked about for a

403
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:11,879
Speaker 4: little while, but it looks like the pieces of the

404
00:18:11,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: postles are coming together for Josh eipel Sneaky good sneaky

405
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 4: creeping into not only playoff contention, but maybe one of

406
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:21,160
Speaker 4: those teams we talked about in the semifinals.

407
00:18:21,560 --> 00:18:23,439
Speaker 2: Right, And let's, but not least, le's go back to

408
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:27,520
Speaker 2: Oregon again because they almost almost lost to Idaho in

409
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:31,320
Speaker 2: week one, and yesterday they were taken to the wire again.

410
00:18:31,760 --> 00:18:35,439
Speaker 2: But Idaho yesterday beats up on Wyoming seventeen thirteen. So

411
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,560
Speaker 2: you got these schools that you really don't consider big

412
00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 2: time schools. But now Idaho's winning. I mean, so that's

413
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:45,119
Speaker 2: a good win for Idough yesterday over the previously undefeated

414
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,920
Speaker 2: Wyoming Cowboys. So I guess it's hard to keep track

415
00:18:48,960 --> 00:18:51,399
Speaker 2: of those scores when you're on the East coast, East

416
00:18:51,400 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 2: coast time and those games start so late. I mean,

417
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,680
Speaker 2: that's why maybe you don't hear about them. But these

418
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 2: teams aren't bad. Idah is not a bad team. I

419
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:01,639
Speaker 2: think Marvin Lewis played for Idaho. I'm not mistaken he.

420
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:03,760
Speaker 4: Did, think well, I think he might have played to

421
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:06,360
Speaker 4: Idaho State. I think he might have played the Idaho State.

422
00:19:06,440 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 4: But those yeah, those guys are pretty good. And you're right,

423
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,080
Speaker 4: you guys have a West coast bias. You don't think

424
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: ball can be played anywhere right west of the Mississippi.

425
00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's good ball that's played out there, because

426
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:20,040
Speaker 4: the way that you talked about Boise, Now that you're

427
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:23,359
Speaker 4: acknowledging that Idaho gets a win against Wyoming and maybe

428
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:27,560
Speaker 4: that score that Oregon had against the Vandals isn't so bad. Yeah,

429
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 4: there's good ball that that comes out. And you know,

430
00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:31,200
Speaker 4: I know it's more than just the Midwestern and South

431
00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:35,720
Speaker 4: Andy more more more ball is played outside of the millwhanks.

432

Speaker 2: Ready and of course the iHeart Radio app. Now, let's

469
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:25,160
Speaker 2: get into this because I said, where was the king

470
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:27,439
Speaker 2: to talk about? Thursday night? Buck roll back the calendar

471
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 2: a little bit. Chiefs went over the Ravens twenty seven

472
00:21:29,920 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 2: to twenty. Good game, But what about all those offensive

473
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 2: line penalties? It was unbelievable, sir. The Baltimore Ravens couldn't

474
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,480
Speaker 2: make it a single drive before drawing three different flags

475
00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 2: for illegal formations committed by their left tackle Ronnie Stanley,

476
00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 2: four times in the first hailf Please explain to me

477
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,960
Speaker 2: why all the flags for illegal formation? Are we going

478
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:52,119
Speaker 2: to see this like every week now? In the NFL?

479
00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:53,040
Speaker 2: What is that all about?

480
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 4: So the illegal formation is in response to defensive coordinators

481
00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 4: and defenders complaining about the depth of the offensive tackles.

482
00:22:03,240 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 4: If you look at the line when you're watching TV,

483
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:08,440
Speaker 4: all of the guys should be in a straight line

484
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:11,040
Speaker 4: with the center, I meaning they're at the depth. Now,

485
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,159
Speaker 4: normally the rules will give you can be back, but

486
00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 4: the head when you're in your stance, the ear hole

487
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 4: in your helmet should be in line with the hips

488
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,680
Speaker 4: of the center. Anything deeper into that is a problem.

489
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:25,280
Speaker 4: What you're seeing, though, is almost like a flying V

490
00:22:25,359 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 4: formation where you have these offensive tackles a yard and

491
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 4: a half behind the line of scrimmage and they're keep

492
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,200
Speaker 4: backing up and so what they're trying to do is

493
00:22:34,240 --> 00:22:36,879
Speaker 4: eliminate that. The reason why linemen want to do that

494
00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 4: is they want to take the angles away from the

495
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,399
Speaker 4: speed rushers coming off the edge. They're feel for that

496
00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:45,000
Speaker 4: if they're in their normal alignment, the speed would just

497
00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 4: allow the defensive pass rusher to blow past them on

498
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,080
Speaker 4: an upfield rush, and so that's why they're doing it.

499
00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,400
Speaker 4: But the league is cracking down, particularly after last year

500
00:22:54,440 --> 00:22:58,480
Speaker 4: watching Juwan Taylor jump snaps in those things. They're paying

501
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,240
Speaker 4: really really close attention into office alignment and where they aligned.

502
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 2: And I had some of that in Friday night's game

503
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 2: with Green Bay and Philadelphia as well. I mean, so

504
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 2: they're going to be on top of this call, I

505
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 2: think the officials, aren't they?

506
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it appears that it's been a point

507
00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: of emphasis that has been talked about in the offseason.

508
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,399
Speaker 4: Anytime you see that, anytime you have those kinds of discussions,

509
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 4: it means that they're gonna penalize it early to try

510
00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:22,399
Speaker 4: and make sure they get it under control.

511
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 2: All right, So let's get back to the game for

512
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:24,480
Speaker 2: a second.

513
00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 7: Right now.

514
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,760
Speaker 2: I think you know, if I'm a defensive coordinator, it's

515
00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 2: quite easy. How do you beat the Kansas City Chiefs?

516
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 2: Keep Patrick Mahomes on the bench? Really, that's really that's

517
00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:33,320
Speaker 2: how you do it. And how do you do that?

518
00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 2: I mean, look, you got the King King Henry, Derek Henry.

519
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 2: They're running back, given the ball, Shove the ball on

520
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: his belly, let him run, move the chains, run the

521
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:44,600
Speaker 2: clock down. So I look at the stats after the

522
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 2: game and say, wait a minute. Derek Henry, who scored

523
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: the first touchdown on that game, had only thirteen carries

524
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,840
Speaker 2: for forty six yards. What gives why only thirteen carries

525
00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 2: for the King.

526
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 4: I think it's part of a low management strategy, if

527
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,840
Speaker 4: in terms of making sure that he's available for them

528
00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 4: late in the season, but it's also Todd munkin running

529
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,399
Speaker 4: his offense. This offense was never going to be the

530
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:11,720
Speaker 4: ground and pound offense that we saw from Greg Roman. Like.

531
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 4: They wanted to go in a different direction. They want

532
00:24:14,760 --> 00:24:19,160
Speaker 4: to lean on Lamar Jackson to do things a little differently,

533
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 4: and this is what we're going to see a mix

534
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 4: of smash mouth with some finase and some past centric

535
00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 4: stuff that will showcase the quarterback. But it's not going

536
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,560
Speaker 4: to be the old offense that we look that we

537
00:24:32,600 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 4: saw for so long in Baltimore.

538
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about Isaiah Likely. Is he like the

539
00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,679
Speaker 2: number one tight end? Now? What about Mark Andrews Because

540
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 2: he really wasn't involved that much either in that game

541
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 2: Thursday night.

542
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,439
Speaker 4: They really believe in their two tight end package. They

543
00:24:46,440 --> 00:24:49,240
Speaker 4: believe in Isaiah Likely. They think he has an opportunity

544
00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 4: to be a really special player and they can create

545
00:24:51,560 --> 00:24:53,919
Speaker 4: magic in their twelve personnel sets, meaning they have two

546
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 4: tight ends on the field. It's early. You know, it

547
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:59,360
Speaker 4: takes about four or five weeks for a team to

548
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 4: figure out who can do what and what their needed

549
00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 4: identity needs to be going forward. Is still the exploratory phases,

550
00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:09,600
Speaker 4: like you would like to win during those moments, but

551
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,439
Speaker 4: this is the experiment exploring seeing what they can do,

552
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:14,679
Speaker 4: what they can how can they attack.

553
00:25:15,440 --> 00:25:18,359
Speaker 2: I'll say this, and maybe I'm way off base, and

554
00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,000
Speaker 2: I'm sure you'll tell me if I am. Okay, I

555
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 2: look forward to that game. It's a great rematcher list.

556
00:25:23,800 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 2: He has playoff game between Baltimore and Kansas City, and

557
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 2: it's a great TV deal, and the ratings were tremendous.

558
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: They say it was the best opening night NFL TV

559
00:25:31,119 --> 00:25:35,800
Speaker 2: has had ever. Right, so everything's in place for big

560
00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 2: time deals. But you know, as well as I do,

561
00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,320
Speaker 2: these teams have a lot of rush on them prior

562
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 2: to coming to the first game of the season. A

563
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,679
Speaker 2: lot of these regular starters had not played in preseason.

564
00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:48,520
Speaker 2: I don't think it's fair. I don't think it's fair

565
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 2: for the players to have a game like that to

566
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 2: start the season. It's great for fans, it's great for hype,

567
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,680
Speaker 2: it's great for the schedule, it's great for the league,

568
00:25:57,800 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 2: But I don't think it's great for the players. Is

569
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:02,919
Speaker 2: that fair statement? Because you know we'll see Chiefs Ravens

570
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,679
Speaker 2: maybe down the road, you may see two completely different

571
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:08,320
Speaker 2: teams and a different outlook on this game.

572
00:26:09,600 --> 00:26:11,320
Speaker 4: I mean you see them down alert, but I mean

573
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,719
Speaker 4: the team, Your team continues to evolve. Good coaches are

574
00:26:13,760 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: always working and tinkering with their team. They're always trying

575
00:26:17,119 --> 00:26:19,240
Speaker 4: to develop the team. So the version that we saw

576
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:22,040
Speaker 4: of the Baltimore Ravens and the Kansaity Chiefs, hopefully we'll

577
00:26:22,040 --> 00:26:25,159
Speaker 4: see better versions down the line. But it's one of

578
00:26:25,160 --> 00:26:28,239
Speaker 4: those things that you can learn from. So it's not

579
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,199
Speaker 4: only the Chiefs and Ravens's also is the Packers and

580
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: the Eagles and going to Brazil and dealing with all

581
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,159
Speaker 4: of the travel and all that stuff. It may be inconvenience,

582
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 4: but it's the league and this is what you do.

583
00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:41,560
Speaker 4: You had a week and a half to get prepared

584
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:43,240
Speaker 4: for it. You've had all the off season to tell

585
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 4: you players, this is how you attack it. And yes,

586
00:26:45,200 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 4: we will see more international games, and we may see

587
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:49,520
Speaker 4: the league decide to do a bunch of these things

588
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 4: over Labor Day so they can dominate the holiday.

589
00:26:53,560 --> 00:26:55,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't too pleased by the Friday niking was

590
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,119
Speaker 2: always the Friday's were reserved for high school football. But

591
00:26:58,160 --> 00:27:00,480
Speaker 2: that's another story for another day, right, I mean, I.

592
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,480
Speaker 4: Just see college took that over though. See, but here's

593
00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,320
Speaker 4: what happened. When college took it over. It kind of

594
00:27:05,359 --> 00:27:08,880
Speaker 4: eliminated that. When you started seeing colleges play on Fridays. Yeah,

595
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:12,879
Speaker 4: that look that that disrupted the agreement. So before colleges

596
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 4: can talk about the league taking saturdays or whatever, they

597
00:27:16,200 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 4: kind of messed it up by taking Fridays. Because you're right,

598
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:20,920
Speaker 4: Friday nights is supposed to be preserved for the high

599
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:25,199
Speaker 4: school game. But when they started venturing into those territories

600
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 4: having Friday night football games that were college or now pros,

601
00:27:30,200 --> 00:27:31,919
Speaker 4: we gonna see more of it because once it happens,

602
00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 4: it's never going back. It's not going to go back.

603
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 4: So that's probably going to be commonplace in a few years.

604
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:39,159
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. He's Bucky Brooks. He's always right. I'm

605
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: Andy fermerwee are Fox Football Sunday on Fox. But it's

606
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,440
Speaker 2: right now coming up next on Fox Life from the

607
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:47,760
Speaker 2: Tyrock dot Com Studios. No, their stats look good. But

608
00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 2: where were the points? That's next. But he always looks good,

609
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 2: he really does. That's Kevin Wyatt with you a sport.

610
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,679
Speaker 5: Yes, that's why I'm on the radio and not television,

611
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,040
Speaker 5: so anyway, he can't take a compliment. Anyway, we do.

612
00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:03,720
Speaker 5: You have some injury updates for today's slate of NFL games,

613
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 5: and Adam Schefter actually along with Nick Wagoner, who's the

614
00:28:07,480 --> 00:28:10,800
Speaker 5: beat rider for the San Francisco forty nine, are saying

615
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 5: that Trent Williams should have a full workload on Monday.

616
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,159
Speaker 5: But the second note, which is key for fantasy owners,

617
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 5: wide receiver Brandon Ayuk will be on a reduced snap count.

618
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 5: Other injury updates and Rappaport with a few overnight. Seahawks

619
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:29,439
Speaker 5: wide receiver Tyler Lockett is questionable the thigh injury. Is

620
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 5: expected to play today. Dolphins corner Jalen Ramsey has a

621
00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 5: hamstring issue. He's going to attempt to play today, However,

622
00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 5: he's listening as questionable and he won't be a full go.

623
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,640
Speaker 5: He's gonna try to give it a go, but he's

624
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 5: gonna be on a limited pitch count. Lions offensive tackle

625
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:50,120
Speaker 5: Dj Reader is dealing with a significant quad injury. He's

626
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:52,959
Speaker 5: been trying to return from that, but he's not quite ready.

627
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:56,480
Speaker 5: Ian Rapaport's sources say that next week it'll be a

628
00:28:56,480 --> 00:28:58,880
Speaker 5: more realistic timeline for him to come back to action.

629
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,400
Speaker 5: And wide receiver Key and Allen of the Bears dealing

630
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 5: with a heel injury and pass whatcher Montes sweat. They're

631
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:09,000
Speaker 5: both listened as questionable and expected to play today. Adam

632
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 5: Schefter with another note as Antonio Gibson questionable for Sunday's

633
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:15,480
Speaker 5: opener against the Bengals with a hip injury. He does

634
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:20,520
Speaker 5: plan to play. Other notes Russell Wilson, he's listened as

635
00:29:20,600 --> 00:29:23,040
Speaker 5: questionable with a calf injury. He told the team that

636
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 5: he can play against the Falcons, but team doctors are

637
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:28,480
Speaker 5: being more cautious. The team plans to make a final

638
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,320
Speaker 5: decision about his status before the game today. Other injury news,

639
00:29:34,480 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 5: quarterback Jordan Love. He tweaked his leg with six seconds

640
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:40,880
Speaker 5: to go in their game against the Eagles in Brazil,

641
00:29:41,040 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 5: and they feared the worst, did the Packers, but it

642
00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:46,920
Speaker 5: is an MCL spraying. He'll be out three to six weeks,

643
00:29:46,960 --> 00:29:50,479
Speaker 5: but much better than the potential season ending injury that

644
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: many were afraid of and Christian McCaffrey saying that he

645
00:29:54,440 --> 00:29:57,360
Speaker 5: will play on monday's been dealing with a calf calf

646
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 5: issue and was limited in practice on Friday. In college football,

647
00:30:03,480 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 5: the episode of the day in South Bend, Northern Illinois

648
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 5: arguably the biggest win in program history, blocking Notre Dames

649
00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:12,000
Speaker 5: go ahead field goal attempt in the final seconds to

650
00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:15,120
Speaker 5: secure the sixteen to fourteen win. Top ten match up

651
00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:18,640
Speaker 5: in ann Arbor, Number three Texas thirty one twelve winners

652
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:21,440
Speaker 5: against number ten Michigan and number seven Ore Again. They

653
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: struggled against Boise State, but did kick a walk off

654
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 5: field goal to win at thirty seven to thirty four.

655
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,760
Speaker 5: Number eight Penn State had to come back to beat

656
00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 5: Bowling Green thirty four to twenty seven. Back to you, guys, Hi,

657
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 5: Thanks Kevseyeing. Now, don't call him elite. That's right around

658
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 5: the corner. He's Bucky Brooks.

659
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 2: He is elite. Im Andy Furman, we are Fox Football

660
00:30:38,680 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 2: Sunday and Fox Sports Rady. We got asked Bucky in

661
00:30:40,480 --> 00:30:42,320
Speaker 2: about four or five minutes from now. It's got to

662
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:44,720
Speaker 2: Brazil Friday Night. Eagles over the pack of thirty seven

663
00:30:44,720 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 2: to twenty nine. Let's talk about the Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. Okay,

664
00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 2: twenty for thirty four to two to seven of the

665
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:53,320
Speaker 2: eight two touchdowns, two iNTS. Don't call him at leade.

666
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: He still had giveaways. He had three giveaways in fact

667
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:58,360
Speaker 2: in that game, an interception in the red zone and

668
00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:00,720
Speaker 2: the Eagles were up thirty one twenty six. That was

669
00:31:00,760 --> 00:31:02,640
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter and they were looking to get

670
00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 2: out of that. They really well, but they won the

671
00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,000
Speaker 2: ball game. He botched the fumble on the one yard line.

672
00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,440
Speaker 2: Who was your cold by sa kuon Barkley Giants? Are

673
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:11,479
Speaker 2: you hearing that? How do you let him go to

674
00:31:11,520 --> 00:31:13,440
Speaker 2: preserve the ball for the Eagles? And Hurts have three

675
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: giveaways as mentioned in the red zone, so you know

676
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,880
Speaker 2: they got some problems with him still. I mean, he's

677
00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 2: just one of those guys that gives the ball away.

678
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 2: He does well.

679
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,720
Speaker 4: I mean, that's what he's shown to be. Most recently

680
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: he has turned it over. I would say one of

681
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,479
Speaker 4: the issues that you have when it comes to Jalen

682
00:31:30,520 --> 00:31:32,920
Speaker 4: Hurts is just understanding what his game is and how

683
00:31:32,960 --> 00:31:35,520
Speaker 4: he needs to play. But the brid zone interception they had,

684
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,200
Speaker 4: I mean, look, it's inexcusable for a player of his

685
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:42,000
Speaker 4: caliber to be making those kinds of mistakes, and it's

686
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 4: one of the things that he'll have to continue to

687
00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,400
Speaker 4: work through. But it's annoying if you're a fan to

688
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 4: kind of see this stuff kind of happen, because that

689
00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 4: was a game that could have been and maybe should

690
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 4: have been more lopsided than it was.

691
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:56,600
Speaker 2: More than that. If you were to look at the

692
00:31:56,640 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: box score after the game, you would have thought the

693
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 2: Packers won that game over seven yards per play. Per

694
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 2: play seven yards, they had four hundred and fourteen yards

695
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:09,200
Speaker 2: on offense. There were, but here's the downfall. One for

696
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,000
Speaker 2: four in the red zone, all right, had a kick

697
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 2: a field goal in the fourth quarter on the Eagles

698
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 2: eight yard line. That was a killer. I mean, they

699
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: couldn't put into the ends of that go for a

700
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 2: field goal. And Jordan Love fourth for nine for twenty

701
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:23,680
Speaker 2: four yards in the red zone, Packers three of eleven

702
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 2: and third downs. I'm not cursing Jordan Love right now.

703
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 2: Maybe yes, the last year, the second half at least,

704
00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:34,840
Speaker 2: maybe that was just magic. I don't know. Time will tell,

705
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 2: but honestly, he was not the guy that people are

706
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,600
Speaker 2: saying he's going to be the MVP I've read some

707
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:44,400
Speaker 2: places that Jordan Love's going to be the MVP this year,

708
00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 2: which I don't think is going to happen. Arley Gordon,

709
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 2: look at the heisman. Before Jordan Love gets the MVP.

710
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,600
Speaker 4: You making declarations off one game. You've seen one game,

711
00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: four quarters of action, and were ready to say that

712
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 4: he won't get it. Well, he's not alone like that.

713
00:32:57,920 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 2: I'm not alone.

714
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's likely to get it right now because he

715
00:33:01,840 --> 00:33:03,680
Speaker 4: may be on the shell for three to four weeks

716
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 4: with an MCL injury. Luckily he didn't. He escaped with

717
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 4: out having a more significant injury. But it looks like

718
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 4: he's gonna be shell for a while, so that's going

719
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,960
Speaker 4: to kind of cripple his chances of winning the MVP.

720
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 4: But I do like it. I like you trying to

721
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 4: pick an MVP after four quarters action, sixty minutes, we

722
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:26,080
Speaker 4: got it all figured out.

723
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 2: Well, look, I mean again, if you want to go

724
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 2: of MVP, let's still this Sae Kwon Barkley. I mean, well,

725
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,200
Speaker 2: if you're the Giants right now, don't you think the

726
00:33:33,320 --> 00:33:35,840
Speaker 2: Mara family at least, because when I watch Hard Knocks,

727
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 2: you know the Maras they wanted him there. They wanted

728
00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:42,120
Speaker 2: it to stay with the Giants and the GMS. They

729
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,680
Speaker 2: could have worked that out, believe me. I mean, he

730
00:33:44,880 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 2: was sixty percent of that offense last year. He's got

731
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:51,840
Speaker 2: three touchdowns against the Packers, and really and truly he

732
00:33:51,880 --> 00:33:54,280
Speaker 2: added a new dimension to the Philadelphia Eagles right now.

733
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:57,240
Speaker 2: I mean seriously, a thirty four yard run, the two

734
00:33:57,360 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 2: rushing and one won the receiving touchdown. He was right,

735
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:00,960
Speaker 2: He really was.

736
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:04,160
Speaker 4: Uh he was. And it is one of those things

737
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:11,399
Speaker 4: that will be baffling and mind boggling. And given the

738
00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 4: offseason hard knocks where the New York Giants LT cameras

739
00:34:15,560 --> 00:34:18,640
Speaker 4: into their building and you can hear and see the

740
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:23,760
Speaker 4: discussions regarding Saquon Barkley and Saquon Barkley at the owner's

741
00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:26,480
Speaker 4: behest getting out of the building and going to the

742
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:30,360
Speaker 4: Philadelphia Eagles, knowing he was one of the more popular Giants.

743
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:34,719
Speaker 4: It is going to force some hiss to roll if

744
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:39,640
Speaker 4: they struggle and Saquon Barkley becomes celebrated as an MVP

745
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:44,480
Speaker 4: caliber playmaker in Philly for a bitter rival. Yeah, this

746
00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 4: is not a good look and it should have never

747
00:34:46,600 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 4: been a good look. It went around New York when

748
00:34:49,280 --> 00:34:51,880
Speaker 4: they decided to pay Daniel Jones instead of Saquon Barkley,

749
00:34:51,920 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 4: even though everyone within the team and around the team

750
00:34:54,840 --> 00:34:59,080
Speaker 4: knew that this offense goes as Saquon Barkley went. When

751
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,520
Speaker 4: you make that just it's a polarizing move and it's

752
00:35:02,560 --> 00:35:06,200
Speaker 4: one debt. Man. I know Giants fans were cringing, but

753
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 4: they're also like, that's okay, let's just see what our

754
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:12,160
Speaker 4: team looks like on Sunday. A lot of pressure on

755
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,200
Speaker 4: the Giants right now because of the emergency of Saquon Barkley.

756
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,479
Speaker 2: You're exactly right. He's Bucky Brooks, some Mady Firmwheel, Fox

757
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,360
Speaker 2: Football Sunday on Fox Sports. Ready, now he's got only answers.

758
00:35:22,600 --> 00:35:26,440
Speaker 2: Ask Bucky as next, ask Bucky, coming right up. It's

759
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:28,879
Speaker 2: about maybe eleven minutes before the top of an hour.

760
00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:32,239
Speaker 2: This is Fox Football Sunday and Fox Sports Radio. He's

761
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,200
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks at Mandy Firmanent. We live from the ti

762
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,960
Speaker 2: iraq dot Com studios. But right now, let's ask Bucky.

763
00:35:38,080 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 2: Here we go. Now, I got to ask you, this

764
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,480
Speaker 2: is like the first Sunday of the NFL season. Pick

765
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: your biggest shakra, maybe on today's schedule, and tell me

766
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:48,359
Speaker 2: why biggest chakra today.

767
00:35:49,920 --> 00:35:52,960
Speaker 4: Biggest shocker the Atlanta Falcons knock it off to Pittsburgh Steelers.

768
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 4: H And I'm just gonna say the Shaka is gonna

769
00:35:55,600 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 4: be because the offense is gonna look so good with

770
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,600
Speaker 4: Kirk Cousins. There's been a lot of constane about Kirk

771
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:04,200
Speaker 4: Cousins since they drafted Michael Pennant's I think Kirk Cousins

772
00:36:04,280 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 4: kind of shows and improves the football world why they're

773
00:36:06,040 --> 00:36:07,040
Speaker 4: gonna be able to get it done.

774
00:36:07,239 --> 00:36:09,359
Speaker 2: I'm going to write that down. I'm going to write

775
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,920
Speaker 2: that down, big shot gun. I love that. Okay, now

776
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 2: let's get to the NFL new kickoff rule. After two games,

777
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,040
Speaker 2: right now, there's only five or twenty four kickoff returns.

778
00:36:18,760 --> 00:36:20,319
Speaker 2: What do you think about this new rule? I mean,

779
00:36:20,360 --> 00:36:22,520
Speaker 2: I'd like to see guys come back and run the

780
00:36:22,520 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 2: football back on a kickoff return. You got five out

781
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:26,520
Speaker 2: of twenty four. That doesn't make sense.

782
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:31,120
Speaker 4: It does make sense because if you are the kicking team,

783
00:36:31,560 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 4: you're weighing the odds. The average return has gotten to

784
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:38,480
Speaker 4: the twenty nine. The risk of not knowing how to

785
00:36:38,520 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 4: deal with something new is a a big touchdown return.

786
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 4: So what you do is you're like, hey, you know what,

787
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:45,839
Speaker 4: I won't even take the risk. Y'all have a ball

788
00:36:45,840 --> 00:36:48,480
Speaker 4: at the thirty one, lineup and play and you kind

789
00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:50,359
Speaker 4: of knew that most teams were going to do that.

790
00:36:50,680 --> 00:36:53,319
Speaker 4: You got to if you want returns, you got to

791
00:36:53,320 --> 00:36:55,640
Speaker 4: punish the kicking team for not kicking the ball in

792
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 4: the end zone. And the way that you do that

793
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,600
Speaker 4: is move the ball out to the thirty five to forty.

794
00:37:00,920 --> 00:37:04,480
Speaker 4: That incentivizes everybody to make it a kick where we

795
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 4: have to see it returned.

796
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:08,480
Speaker 2: That's a great point. And you know that Andy Reid's

797
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:11,120
Speaker 2: telling those his telews kickers just kick it out, kick

798
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,680
Speaker 2: it out. I mean, I don't want to run back.

799
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,840
Speaker 2: That's what he did on Thursday night, right, and that

800
00:37:14,920 --> 00:37:17,920
Speaker 2: they didn't have any runbacks. It's crazy. And that's a

801
00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 2: great part of the game, isn't it. I mean, I

802
00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 2: love that that's part of football. I mean, I understand

803
00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 2: they won safety, but you know what, when you sign

804
00:37:25,200 --> 00:37:26,959
Speaker 2: up to play football and you know that you played

805
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,600
Speaker 2: the game, did this risk to evolved? There really is?

806
00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,879
Speaker 2: But this risk is in any game, in any job,

807
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:34,680
Speaker 2: if you're a jet pilot, is a risk, right, I mean,

808
00:37:34,719 --> 00:37:36,920
Speaker 2: come on, this risk in football, and that's why you

809
00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: get paid the big bucks. Come on, let them run

810
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 2: the fall of the ball back.

811
00:37:40,480 --> 00:37:42,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like this is you open, But I

812
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 4: think it will require them to do some tweaking to

813
00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:47,279
Speaker 4: the rule to get everyone to kind of buy in

814
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 4: to say I'm gonna put the ball.

815
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,000
Speaker 2: In play perfect Okay, Now, how surprised to you, Bucket

816
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:54,680
Speaker 2: Brooks with Bill Belichick's and Nick Saban's transition to broadcasting.

817
00:37:56,200 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 4: Not surprised at all because you knew they had a

818
00:37:58,800 --> 00:38:01,400
Speaker 4: lot of wisdom to offer it this matter. Could they

819
00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:05,440
Speaker 4: present it in a way that would be entertaining when

820
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 4: you have their resumes, It's less about entertainment and nor

821
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,920
Speaker 4: about the knowledge. It's been a surprise that both of

822
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 4: them are funny and engaging. I love seeing both either

823
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:16,840
Speaker 4: one of them on TV because I know I'm going

824
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:19,640
Speaker 4: to walk away from that segment learning more about football

825
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 4: than I knew prior to.

826
00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:23,520
Speaker 2: Right, I feel that way with you, I really do now.

827
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:28,200
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson missed two possible scoring tries for the Ravens

828
00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:31,080
Speaker 2: at the end of the Chiefs game on Thursday night. Now,

829
00:38:31,160 --> 00:38:34,000
Speaker 2: to me, that's not what you expect from a two

830
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 2: time NFL MVP. Now it was Tom Brady behind behind center,

831
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,400
Speaker 2: maybe a Peyton Manning. I think they would have scored.

832
00:38:40,760 --> 00:38:44,280
Speaker 2: Is just too critical of an assessment of Lamar Jackson

833
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:46,080
Speaker 2: is too critical.

834
00:38:47,120 --> 00:38:48,959
Speaker 4: He's done a lot in this league. As a two

835
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:53,399
Speaker 4: time MVP. You expect him to do certain things. It's

836
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,480
Speaker 4: just a matter of him doing it on a bigger

837
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:59,320
Speaker 4: stage and in a game there was a marquee matchup

838
00:38:59,360 --> 00:39:04,040
Speaker 4: against Mahomes. Yeah, he's going to be compared and criticized

839
00:39:04,080 --> 00:39:06,560
Speaker 4: because he doesn't look like Pack Mahomes some of those moments.

840
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:09,239
Speaker 4: Until he's able to do that consistently, he always gets

841
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 4: some of this blow back. It's not a knock to him,

842
00:39:11,280 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 4: but it's the expectations that come along with being an

843
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:14,279
Speaker 4: MVP player.

844
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 2: Right, Okay, Now, we talked about this early on with

845
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:19,719
Speaker 2: Attle expansion over here on this The goal playing the

846
00:39:19,800 --> 00:39:22,279
Speaker 2: Chiefs is easy keep Patrick Mahomes off the field, And

847
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,680
Speaker 2: I asked, why didn't Derek Henry get more carries? Maybe

848
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,319
Speaker 2: he could expand on that. I like to know.

849
00:39:28,280 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 4: I just think there's a different style of offense. We're

850
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 4: so used to seeing Derrick Henry in that sledge hammer

851
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,799
Speaker 4: style offense in Tennessee and even going back to his

852
00:39:34,880 --> 00:39:37,520
Speaker 4: days at Alabama, the way they used him, Baltimore has

853
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 4: a different offense. It's a little more alets spread it out,

854
00:39:40,719 --> 00:39:43,680
Speaker 4: that's thought around the yard, a little less of la

855
00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:46,680
Speaker 4: Mar Jackson and now Derrick Henry and some of the

856
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,960
Speaker 4: Reid option games that many of us anticipated. But all

857
00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 4: it takes is a few more losses, a few more

858
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 4: head crockings before you change and say, you know what, guys,

859
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:55,520
Speaker 4: we can go back to what works for us.

860
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,120
Speaker 2: And as we go game, are the Chiefs still a

861
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,520
Speaker 2: team to be? If not? Who is?

862
00:40:00,440 --> 00:40:01,840
Speaker 4: Oh? The Chiefs are the team to beat. They are

863
00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:05,600
Speaker 4: defending back to back champs. So yeah, until someone shows

864
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,799
Speaker 4: that they have the guts and the talent to be

865
00:40:08,800 --> 00:40:10,399
Speaker 4: able to beat them, they can't see. The Chiefs are

866
00:40:10,400 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 4: pilc it in as the number one.

867
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:15,799
Speaker 2: All right, biggest individual performance today, perhaps that one.

868
00:40:16,760 --> 00:40:19,719
Speaker 4: Hold on, hold on, hold on to that.

869
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 2: We'll do that later. Hey, Bucket calls them asleep and we'll

870
00:40:22,080 --> 00:40:23,760
Speaker 2: tell you who they are next on Fox.

882
00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:04,520
Speaker 2: your typical Sunday football day for viewing? What do you do?

883
00:41:04,600 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 2: How do you do it? Where you're doing it at?

884
00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:09,000
Speaker 4: So it's different now because I'm doing sideline work for

885
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:13,800
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville Jaguars. So my team will eventually take place

886
00:41:13,920 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 4: in the airport, but I'm in Miami. I will do

887
00:41:17,360 --> 00:41:19,800
Speaker 4: the game from the sideline. I'll do the sideline reports

888
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,160
Speaker 4: and those things, and then after the game, I'll make

889
00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:24,319
Speaker 4: my way to the airport, found a little lounge to

890
00:41:24,440 --> 00:41:26,319
Speaker 4: watch and catch up on what took place.

891
00:41:26,880 --> 00:41:30,000
Speaker 2: That's wonderful. How do you get that gig? That sideline deal.

892
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 4: I've been doing it for a few years, but I

893
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 4: played in Jacksonville mid nineties and so it's been a

894
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,080
Speaker 4: pretty cool deal. I was doing their preseason games and

895
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,520
Speaker 4: so it was a natural transition for me.

896
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,520
Speaker 2: Good for you. How can I catch you on TV

897
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:45,239
Speaker 2: doing that some way? I mean, I don't think I

898
00:41:45,360 --> 00:41:46,479
Speaker 2: get I'm not going to get.

899
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:52,719
Speaker 4: The Jackson Radio all radio serious the radio. I mean,

900
00:41:52,719 --> 00:41:55,680
Speaker 4: I guess the team. The team's the team channel. That'll

901
00:41:55,719 --> 00:41:55,880
Speaker 4: be it.

902
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:57,600
Speaker 2: I'll get it. I'll pick it up. I'm listening to

903
00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,960
Speaker 2: this after and I can't wait. I'll have that on one.

904
00:42:00,040 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 2: I'll have that on and I'll have the Bengals game.

905
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: I'm not going to the game. I'm gonna watch the

906
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:04,320
Speaker 2: Bengals game on TV.

907
00:42:04,440 --> 00:42:04,799
Speaker 4: All right.

908
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:05,080
Speaker 5: Now.

909
00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:07,360
Speaker 2: I did have this question for you at the end

910
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,279
Speaker 2: of the last hour, but I said, let's pull it

911
00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:13,719
Speaker 2: over here. The biggest individual performance today and any one

912
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,200
Speaker 2: of the games. Who do you think it's going to be?

913
00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,520
Speaker 4: M such tough one because there's so many really good

914
00:42:18,560 --> 00:42:22,040
Speaker 4: matchups and a few different ways that I want to go.

915
00:42:22,200 --> 00:42:25,960
Speaker 4: Like my natural inclination is to see, you know, one

916
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,280
Speaker 4: of the stars kind of do their thing, CJ. Stroud

917
00:42:28,400 --> 00:42:29,840
Speaker 4: or whatever. But I think I'm gonna go with like

918
00:42:29,880 --> 00:42:33,280
Speaker 4: a younger player because I think on major stages sometimes

919
00:42:33,320 --> 00:42:36,120
Speaker 4: young players can surprise. So let's go with Jayden Daniels

920
00:42:36,440 --> 00:42:38,880
Speaker 4: having a monster game for the Washington Commanders.

921
00:42:39,080 --> 00:42:40,919
Speaker 2: All right, I hear you right now. All right, let's

922
00:42:40,960 --> 00:42:44,200
Speaker 2: go Bucket Brooks right now, he's number one NFL dot

923
00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:47,560
Speaker 2: Com every week. He's also on the sidelines. He writes,

924
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:50,080
Speaker 2: he plays, he does it all okay, And you wrote

925
00:42:50,080 --> 00:42:52,480
Speaker 2: this week on NFL dot Com and I really enjoyed it.

926
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,239
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna challenge you a little bit, and I

927
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,280
Speaker 2: know you'll have the answer. But you said the sleeper,

928
00:42:56,600 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 2: the sleeper this year, the sleeper team, and you said

929
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 2: the Cleveland brown I mean there's a team that went

930
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:03,640
Speaker 2: eleven games last year. I know how they were a sleeper.

931
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:06,040
Speaker 2: Why are they asleeper? And why not the Texans are

932
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 2: the Chargers? Because to me, I think the Texans right

933
00:43:08,640 --> 00:43:10,800
Speaker 2: now could very well be the sleeper in my mind.

934
00:43:11,880 --> 00:43:12,000
Speaker 8: Now.

935
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 4: See, I think sleepers are teams that aren't being talked about.

936
00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,360
Speaker 4: I don't think anyone is touting the Browns is a

937
00:43:17,360 --> 00:43:20,040
Speaker 4: title contender. I think we've heard people talk about the

938
00:43:20,040 --> 00:43:23,520
Speaker 4: Houston Texans and c J. Stroud being an MVP candidate

939
00:43:23,840 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: and those things. With the Chargers, I just think the

940
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,479
Speaker 4: Chargers will take more than just one year to fix

941
00:43:30,520 --> 00:43:33,560
Speaker 4: and turn around. I love Jim Harbaugh, and I look,

942
00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:35,200
Speaker 4: I think it's really apparent how good of a coach

943
00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:39,600
Speaker 4: he is after watching Michigan get Molly Watt by Texas yesterday.

944
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:44,160
Speaker 4: But I just think this is a situation where they're

945
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:45,839
Speaker 4: just gonna need some time to kind of figure it out.

946
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:47,800
Speaker 4: I think they'd be very competitive. They may be sticking

947
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 4: to the postseason. I just don't see that my title

948
00:43:49,360 --> 00:43:50,160
Speaker 4: continuer yet.

949
00:43:50,360 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 2: Okay, now, let's talk about the Cleveland Browns for a second,

950
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 2: because they played at Bengals twice during the same division,

951
00:43:55,440 --> 00:43:57,800
Speaker 2: which about in my mind, is the toughest division in football.

952
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,719
Speaker 2: It's all about the Shaun Watson right now. I gotta

953
00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:02,440
Speaker 2: believe up because he's under tons of pressure, tons of

954
00:44:02,440 --> 00:44:03,960
Speaker 2: pressure for this guy. He's got rushed on it for

955
00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:06,880
Speaker 2: almost two years. He's got to get healthy, he's got

956
00:44:06,920 --> 00:44:09,080
Speaker 2: to stay healthy, and he's got to really and truly

957
00:44:09,200 --> 00:44:11,919
Speaker 2: live up in my mind, to that contract with something

958
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:15,120
Speaker 2: like two hundred thirty million dollars, which was crazy, but

959
00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:18,040
Speaker 2: it was fully guaranteed, which is nuts. And so far

960
00:44:18,560 --> 00:44:21,600
Speaker 2: that trade that Cleveland made for him, you got a

961
00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,840
Speaker 2: rate as an F minus A total disappointment.

962
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:28,160
Speaker 4: A hundred percent. Yeah, look, it's been a disappointment. You

963
00:44:28,160 --> 00:44:31,239
Speaker 4: think about the last few times we've seen him play,

964
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:33,319
Speaker 4: they have him played particularly well. You got to remember

965
00:44:33,400 --> 00:44:35,839
Speaker 4: when he was at Houston, he's a three time Pro

966
00:44:35,960 --> 00:44:39,080
Speaker 4: Bowl player. He is a guy that led them like

967
00:44:39,160 --> 00:44:42,000
Speaker 4: Senor Handley. He had almost an MVP caliber season four

968
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:43,760
Speaker 4: team that was four and twelve when he had thirty

969
00:44:43,800 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 4: three touchdowns in only seven interceptions. He has not been

970
00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,640
Speaker 4: anywhere close to that player since arrived in Cleveland. You

971
00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:55,040
Speaker 4: talk about Pat like he has barely gotten above sixty

972
00:44:55,080 --> 00:44:57,719
Speaker 4: percent with his completion rate. You're not seeing the same

973
00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,239
Speaker 4: playmaking and all of those things, and so so I'm

974
00:45:00,280 --> 00:45:02,160
Speaker 4: excited to see what he's able to do with Ken

975
00:45:02,239 --> 00:45:05,680
Speaker 4: Dorsey coming over. Ken Dorsey certainly helped Cam Newton prepared

976
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:08,600
Speaker 4: work with Josh Allen, helped those guys get right in

977
00:45:08,640 --> 00:45:12,239
Speaker 4: Buffalo as an assistant with under Bryan day Ball, and

978
00:45:12,360 --> 00:45:14,040
Speaker 4: actually did some really good things when he was the

979
00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 4: offensive coordinator. So I believe that the things are kind

980
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 4: of pointing in the right direction for the Browns, but

981
00:45:20,880 --> 00:45:22,920
Speaker 4: a lot of it hinges on Deshaun Watson being what

982
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:24,920
Speaker 4: we thought Sean Watson was right.

983
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,759
Speaker 2: And I think that the Shaun Watson thing takes fore

984
00:45:27,840 --> 00:45:30,759
Speaker 2: front because obviously the legal issues that he had, the

985
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 2: contract he signed, the fact that he hasn't played, and

986
00:45:33,200 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 2: certainly the position that he plays, that's a big deal.

987
00:45:35,080 --> 00:45:36,920
Speaker 2: But I'm going to talk about Nick Chubb because he

988
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 2: had that knee surgery, and I think that's a big,

989
00:45:39,360 --> 00:45:41,680
Speaker 2: big blow. I don't know if he's going to come back.

990
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,600
Speaker 2: Will they come back healthy? They say he's going to

991
00:45:43,680 --> 00:45:45,799
Speaker 2: come back maybe after four or five games. I don't know.

992
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:47,680
Speaker 2: They have a little bit of depth behind them, but

993
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:49,799
Speaker 2: I don't think it's a Nick Chubb depth is dron

994
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,640
Speaker 2: Ford Deontay Foreman. I don't think they have anything that

995
00:45:52,719 --> 00:45:54,960
Speaker 2: Nick Chubb as. What do you think about those guys?

996
00:45:56,560 --> 00:45:58,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I mean I think that's a big thing.

997
00:45:58,680 --> 00:46:00,959
Speaker 4: Nick Chubb is a huge part of the equation. And

998
00:46:01,040 --> 00:46:02,640
Speaker 4: even though they can go and get those weapons on

999
00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 4: the outside, they need to be able to run the football.

1000
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:07,160
Speaker 4: The dog pound is cold, you know what. Obviously, living

1001
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,719
Speaker 4: in Ohio, you got to be able to kind of

1002
00:46:08,960 --> 00:46:11,919
Speaker 4: put your big boy pads on and play rocking soccer

1003
00:46:12,080 --> 00:46:17,560
Speaker 4: robots against heavyweights in this division, Baltimore, Cincinnati, they're gonna

1004
00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 4: be there. You just know Pittsburgh is always gonna be

1005
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:22,680
Speaker 4: a physical team. And so it's on the Browns be

1006
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:24,480
Speaker 4: able to figure out how to run the football while

1007
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:26,560
Speaker 4: protecting the quarterback and making sure that they can take

1008
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:27,480
Speaker 4: shots down the field.

1009
00:46:27,800 --> 00:46:32,080
Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about this. He say, Deshaun Watson say

1010
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:34,399
Speaker 2: he comes back and he's just real rusty. He doesn't

1011
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:36,160
Speaker 2: get it done. Whatever it may be. Maybe he doesn't

1012
00:46:36,160 --> 00:46:38,879
Speaker 2: stay healthy. I don't know. Is Jameis Winston the guy?

1013
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,440
Speaker 2: Could he get it done for him?

1014
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,000
Speaker 4: I think so. The biggest thing with Jamis is not

1015
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 4: his ability to start and win games, is can he

1016
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,320
Speaker 4: take care of the football. When he takes care of

1017
00:46:49,360 --> 00:46:52,080
Speaker 4: the football, they win and they're going to continue to win.

1018
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:55,080
Speaker 4: But when he's a quarterback, but when he doesn't, it

1019
00:46:55,080 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 4: becomes problematic. The thing he has to do if he

1020
00:46:57,280 --> 00:46:59,479
Speaker 4: gets a chance, just don't try and do too much.

1021
00:46:59,719 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 4: Keep game simple. If he keeps the game simple, he's

1022
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:02,840
Speaker 4: going to be fine.

1023
00:47:03,520 --> 00:47:05,360
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because you look at the schedule

1024
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:07,160
Speaker 2: and the last thing I want to do is kind

1025
00:47:07,160 --> 00:47:09,000
Speaker 2: of predict. You just can't do that. People do it

1026
00:47:09,040 --> 00:47:11,319
Speaker 2: all the time. You know, I predict WS and l's

1027
00:47:11,520 --> 00:47:14,560
Speaker 2: and certainly so many factors go into that injury, whatever

1028
00:47:14,560 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 2: it may be. They play Dallas today, I think they

1029
00:47:17,680 --> 00:47:20,000
Speaker 2: should take Dallas. The game is at home. But after

1030
00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:21,960
Speaker 2: that they got a pretty easy road, they really do.

1031
00:47:22,040 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 2: And I hate to tell you this, but next week

1032
00:47:24,440 --> 00:47:27,280
Speaker 2: is that Jacksonville your place? But they should be Jacksonville.

1033
00:47:27,280 --> 00:47:28,799
Speaker 2: They should be the Giants, and they probably could bet

1034
00:47:28,840 --> 00:47:31,600
Speaker 2: Vegas at Vegas and then after that it's Washington. So

1035
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 2: I think they got a decent road ahead of them

1036
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:37,600
Speaker 2: where they could probably be like five and one. They

1037
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:40,240
Speaker 2: really could. But again, I'm not one of those guys

1038
00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,920
Speaker 2: that predicts, and it doesn't really mean anything you talk

1039
00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: about prediction, but I think that's the possibility right there.

1040
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:48,560
Speaker 4: Oh okay, So it sounds like you predicted, Like I

1041
00:47:48,560 --> 00:47:50,960
Speaker 4: wonder who's that one coming from? Who's that one coming from?

1042
00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,080
Speaker 4: Are you saying the ones coming today and then they

1043
00:47:53,080 --> 00:47:55,160
Speaker 4: can go five and one or are you saying the

1044
00:47:55,200 --> 00:47:57,360
Speaker 4: ones coming next week? Like when is the one coming?

1045
00:47:57,400 --> 00:48:00,440
Speaker 4: I think that's well the most important for me in

1046
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:01,680
Speaker 4: terms of our relationship.

1047
00:48:01,760 --> 00:48:05,120
Speaker 1: It depends on what I'm juggling.

1048
00:48:05,440 --> 00:48:10,239
Speaker 2: I'm juggling the one between today Dallas and October the

1049
00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:13,000
Speaker 2: thirteenth at Philadelphia. That's good to be. I don't think

1050
00:48:13,040 --> 00:48:15,279
Speaker 2: they're gonna lose both of those. That's gonna be the.

1051
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 4: One, Okay, all right?

1052
00:48:17,080 --> 00:48:17,839
Speaker 2: Is that is that fair?

1053
00:48:18,960 --> 00:48:20,120
Speaker 4: I get it. That is fair.

1054
00:48:20,920 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 2: So they're the paper Titans. So I ask you, why

1055
00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: aren't the Texans and the Chargers paper tigers.

1056
00:48:29,480 --> 00:48:33,960
Speaker 4: Well, I would say, like the Texans in Charges. The

1057
00:48:33,960 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 4: reason why I can't say that they are the teams

1058
00:48:35,719 --> 00:48:38,440
Speaker 4: that are going to be the sleepers or whatever is

1059
00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,480
Speaker 4: just because when I look at the Texans, I think

1060
00:48:40,480 --> 00:48:42,520
Speaker 4: it's a lot of newness that come to them. Last year,

1061
00:48:42,520 --> 00:48:45,319
Speaker 4: they benefited from flying under the radar, being a team

1062
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 4: that no one thought about, and before you could get

1063
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:50,480
Speaker 4: ready to up your game against them, they were on you.

1064
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 4: And that confidence that they had was enough to propel them.

1065
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,080
Speaker 4: But now they got to deal with the weight of expectations.

1066
00:48:56,280 --> 00:49:00,000
Speaker 4: Remember before last season, we thought this team would be

1067
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,560
Speaker 4: maybe win two three games. They surprised us all because CJ.

1068
00:49:03,640 --> 00:49:06,839
Speaker 4: Strout was better than anyone anticipated, and it worked for them.

1069
00:49:07,160 --> 00:49:10,080
Speaker 4: Now they walk into a situation where they're viewed as

1070
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 4: a favorite and they're playing a tougher schedule could be

1071
00:49:12,760 --> 00:49:15,760
Speaker 4: a little more difficult and tricky for them. The Chargers

1072
00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:18,839
Speaker 4: mass exodus of offensive talent, and even though I love

1073
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,680
Speaker 4: what Harbor and Greg Roman have traditioning done with the run,

1074
00:49:22,080 --> 00:49:24,840
Speaker 4: you got to have somebody that people fear on the perimeter.

1075
00:49:25,239 --> 00:49:28,800
Speaker 4: There's not one player in the passing game that opposing

1076
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:32,960
Speaker 4: that opponents will fear. To me, that's tough because it's

1077
00:49:32,960 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 4: hard to win that way. You don't change coverage. You

1078
00:49:34,960 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 4: line up and we can say, hey, we can cover

1079
00:49:36,600 --> 00:49:39,960
Speaker 4: you straight up. Man, it's hard to win when you

1080
00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 4: don't have any matchup advantages on the outside and they

1081
00:49:43,080 --> 00:49:45,120
Speaker 4: don't have any matchup advantages on the outside.

1082
00:49:45,280 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 2: Okay, you use the term paper tiger with the San

1083
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:52,360
Speaker 2: Francisco forty nine ers. I'm not that small. What exactly

1084
00:49:52,400 --> 00:49:55,120
Speaker 2: does that mean, paper tiger? And why the forty nine ers?

1085
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:55,400
Speaker 9: Oh?

1086
00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,640
Speaker 4: Okay, paper tiger means like so like when you think

1087
00:49:58,680 --> 00:50:01,120
Speaker 4: about something being for roch, but it doesn't have any

1088
00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 4: teeth behind it. It's all papers. It's a fake tiger.

1089
00:50:04,680 --> 00:50:07,040
Speaker 4: It's not a real tiger. And so with the San

1090
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,440
Speaker 4: Francisco forty nine ers, what we're saying are the Niners

1091
00:50:10,560 --> 00:50:12,600
Speaker 4: look like they should be ready to go back to back,

1092
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:16,120
Speaker 4: but they're gonna find that it's harder, much more difficult

1093
00:50:16,200 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 4: to go back to a super Bowl after losing one

1094
00:50:19,719 --> 00:50:22,480
Speaker 4: the previous year. It's rad has been done. I think

1095
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,320
Speaker 4: it's been done like three times in history Cowboys, Miami Dolphins,

1096
00:50:26,320 --> 00:50:28,799
Speaker 4: Cowboys and Dolphins back to the years seventy seventy one,

1097
00:50:29,160 --> 00:50:32,760
Speaker 4: and then the New England Patriots are the most recent

1098
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:35,960
Speaker 4: team to do it in twenty seventeen after they lost.

1099
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,480
Speaker 4: So we expecting the forty nine is to fast forward

1100
00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:40,239
Speaker 4: to get right back to the spot and be able

1101
00:50:40,239 --> 00:50:42,239
Speaker 4: to kind of run it back. There's a lot of

1102
00:50:42,280 --> 00:50:43,600
Speaker 4: work to be done. And when you look at the

1103
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,000
Speaker 4: offseason and just how everyone has been complaining about their

1104
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:50,040
Speaker 4: contract and holding out and sitting out, and you don't

1105
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,719
Speaker 4: have Trent Williams and Brandan a Yuck in the field,

1106
00:50:52,760 --> 00:50:56,160
Speaker 4: but Christian McCaffrey got his money early. I worry about

1107
00:50:56,200 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 4: this team's locker room dynamic. Can they get along where

1108
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 4: everyone is like, hey, it doesn't matter what you make,

1109
00:51:02,080 --> 00:51:03,880
Speaker 4: how we do it, we're good. We're just going to

1110
00:51:03,960 --> 00:51:06,239
Speaker 4: go and play. And then the final part of it,

1111
00:51:06,280 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 4: like when you think about that dynamic. Understand this, When

1112
00:51:09,440 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 4: they sign Brandan n Ayuk, it put Deebo Samuel on

1113
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:15,439
Speaker 4: the clock. How does Deebo Samuel play knowing that he's

1114
00:51:15,480 --> 00:51:17,360
Speaker 4: on the clock, that he may be the trade victim

1115
00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:19,759
Speaker 4: that he has to hear all of these rumors like

1116
00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 4: they kept Brandon Ayuk. They're gonna have to do some

1117
00:51:21,800 --> 00:51:24,440
Speaker 4: with you because everyone's going to say you can't afford

1118
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:29,960
Speaker 4: two big money receivers. Okay, Well, if you're in that environment,

1119
00:51:30,040 --> 00:51:31,680
Speaker 4: how do you feel about your role if you're not

1120
00:51:31,719 --> 00:51:33,880
Speaker 4: the primary.

1121
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,839
Speaker 2: You know, it's interesting that you bring that up, because

1122
00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:38,080
Speaker 2: if I were to say that the locker room dynamic,

1123
00:51:38,239 --> 00:51:39,920
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean anything because I've never been in the

1124
00:51:39,920 --> 00:51:42,640
Speaker 2: locker room as a player. You've been there, okay, and

1125
00:51:42,680 --> 00:51:46,440
Speaker 2: maybe me looking in from the outside. My take is

1126
00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,319
Speaker 2: that you know, when you put the uniform on, all

1127
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,120
Speaker 2: you really want to do is win. You forget about

1128
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:53,520
Speaker 2: that stuff. You leave that outside. So I guess you're

1129
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:55,719
Speaker 2: telling me that's not true. I mean you bring it

1130
00:51:55,760 --> 00:51:58,399
Speaker 2: in there. I mean on a Sunday afternoon, the game

1131
00:51:58,480 --> 00:52:00,000
Speaker 2: is one o'clock, they probably get to the locker room

1132
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 2: or nine thirty ten in the morning, they do their

1133
00:52:01,680 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: stretching whatever they be, put the uniform on. All those

1134
00:52:04,960 --> 00:52:09,760
Speaker 2: thoughts about contractual agreements, trade things, whatever, maybe that's gone.

1135
00:52:09,880 --> 00:52:12,520
Speaker 2: You just concentrate on your opponent that day. Am I wrong?

1136
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:14,920
Speaker 2: I would think that that they have a goal to do.

1137
00:52:15,480 --> 00:52:18,120
Speaker 2: Even even if you dislike someone on the team, the

1138
00:52:18,200 --> 00:52:20,439
Speaker 2: guy the locker next to you, you can't stand them,

1139
00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: when it comes to Sunday, you put that aside and look,

1140
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:26,920
Speaker 2: he's your brother for that day because you got to

1141
00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:28,600
Speaker 2: go out and do a similar job to win. And

1142
00:52:28,640 --> 00:52:30,239
Speaker 2: after the game, he goes his way and you go

1143
00:52:30,280 --> 00:52:30,680
Speaker 2: your way.

1144
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, unfortunately, like that is the truth. I mean,

1145
00:52:35,120 --> 00:52:38,160
Speaker 4: weird team, but it's fifty three independent contractors trying to

1146
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 4: find a way to carve out careers. And even though

1147
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:44,440
Speaker 4: there are moments where it's really about the team and

1148
00:52:44,480 --> 00:52:47,960
Speaker 4: you sacrifice willingly to make sure the team is better normally.

1149
00:52:48,040 --> 00:52:53,879
Speaker 4: That's down the stretch. That's Super Bowl's playoff, wildcard round,

1150
00:52:53,880 --> 00:52:57,120
Speaker 4: divisional round. That's that kind of attitude during the regular season. Yeah,

1151
00:52:57,160 --> 00:52:59,680
Speaker 4: you can find yourself if you're not careful, count the

1152
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:02,839
Speaker 4: people's pockets, looking at what man this guy makes this

1153
00:53:02,960 --> 00:53:04,719
Speaker 4: and this guy makes that. I'm better than both of

1154
00:53:04,719 --> 00:53:07,000
Speaker 4: those guys. Why I'm not mate. You know, there's some

1155
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,640
Speaker 4: of that that comes along with it, and you can

1156
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:12,600
Speaker 4: try and manage it out or whatever, but ultimately, players

1157
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,800
Speaker 4: have to be willing to sacrifice some of their own

1158
00:53:14,800 --> 00:53:19,319
Speaker 4: individual agenda stuff to help the team to give the

1159
00:53:19,320 --> 00:53:21,160
Speaker 4: team the best chance of being able to win and

1160
00:53:21,200 --> 00:53:22,520
Speaker 4: win at a high level consistently.

1161
00:53:22,760 --> 00:53:25,560
Speaker 2: Okay, let me get this now locally, because over here

1162
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati, Jamar Chase right now is holding out. He's

1163
00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 2: a hold in, and they say he may play, he

1164
00:53:30,360 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 2: may not play today. Who knows what's going to happen

1165
00:53:32,320 --> 00:53:34,720
Speaker 2: right now, And you're dealing with Mike Brown, he's very stubborn.

1166
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,120
Speaker 2: I think there's a big decision on the part of

1167
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,920
Speaker 2: the Bengals of Mike prom because they were set a

1168
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:41,799
Speaker 2: precedent in the National Football League that guys who have

1169
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,279
Speaker 2: contracts of a year or more left and he's got

1170
00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:48,800
Speaker 2: two years left to break that contract and give an extension.

1171
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:51,560
Speaker 2: That's going to set a precedent. Really, And the rumor

1172
00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: was on the internet just the other day that Jamar Chase,

1173
00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:58,440
Speaker 2: who played college football at LSU with Justin Jefferson, he

1174
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:00,800
Speaker 2: says he wants to get a contrac it's a dollar

1175
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:03,640
Speaker 2: more than justin Jefferson. I mean, and you got to

1176
00:54:03,719 --> 00:54:06,720
Speaker 2: believe there are some people in that locker room saying

1177
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:10,759
Speaker 2: that soob right now, he's our teammate. He's killing us

1178
00:54:10,800 --> 00:54:13,760
Speaker 2: right now, get on the field, forget about that stuff

1179
00:54:13,760 --> 00:54:17,000
Speaker 2: and let's play and let's play football. That to me,

1180
00:54:17,080 --> 00:54:21,160
Speaker 2: if it was if he's my teammate, it hurts morale,

1181
00:54:21,239 --> 00:54:25,560
Speaker 2: It hurts what you're there for. You're there for one objective,

1182
00:54:25,560 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 2: and that's to play football and win. And I think

1183
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:30,400
Speaker 2: he's hurting that whole apple card right now. And to

1184
00:54:30,640 --> 00:54:34,640
Speaker 2: make matters worse, T Higgins of all people, comes out

1185
00:54:34,719 --> 00:54:38,239
Speaker 2: in twenty four hours beforehand saying that he's got a

1186
00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:42,000
Speaker 2: thigh injury and he's not playing. And the speculation maybe

1187
00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:45,120
Speaker 2: is that he's defending Jamar, saying, don't worry, Jamar, I'll

1188
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,000
Speaker 2: take care of you. I won't play too.

1189
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:49,880
Speaker 4: Well. I think there are a couple of things to

1190
00:54:49,920 --> 00:54:51,480
Speaker 4: play out. I think you may be looking at it

1191
00:54:51,520 --> 00:54:53,680
Speaker 4: differently because you're looking at it from the prism of

1192
00:54:53,719 --> 00:54:56,080
Speaker 4: the player saying, oh, no, no, no, we need you

1193
00:54:56,280 --> 00:54:59,440
Speaker 4: for the team, protect the team. I see it as T.

1194
00:54:59,600 --> 00:55:02,080
Speaker 4: Higgins and others looking at the locker room to see

1195
00:55:02,080 --> 00:55:05,280
Speaker 4: how the team is going to take care of their stars.

1196
00:55:05,680 --> 00:55:09,160
Speaker 4: So if Jamar Chase ain't even T Higgins because they

1197
00:55:09,160 --> 00:55:11,640
Speaker 4: didn't give T Higgins his money when he was up,

1198
00:55:11,640 --> 00:55:14,160
Speaker 4: they're making him play on the franchise tag. And part

1199
00:55:14,200 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 4: of that is because they're gonna sign Jamar Chase and

1200
00:55:16,239 --> 00:55:20,040
Speaker 4: let T Higgins walk and T Higgins, as you're saying,

1201
00:55:20,120 --> 00:55:22,080
Speaker 4: in a move of solidarity, I don't think it may

1202
00:55:22,080 --> 00:55:25,719
Speaker 4: be that it may be a little one upsmanship from

1203
00:55:25,800 --> 00:55:27,799
Speaker 4: him to the team. You don't want to pay me,

1204
00:55:28,040 --> 00:55:31,640
Speaker 4: You're gonna pay Jamar cool I'm not playing, you know,

1205
00:55:31,840 --> 00:55:34,879
Speaker 4: And so there can be some of that, And while

1206
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:38,040
Speaker 4: there's precedents that you don't want to break in those things,

1207
00:55:38,080 --> 00:55:40,160
Speaker 4: Cincinnati has to kind of figure out what they want

1208
00:55:40,200 --> 00:55:42,160
Speaker 4: to do and how they want to go forward. Mike

1209
00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,440
Speaker 4: Brown has to make some tough decisions because if he

1210
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,080
Speaker 4: doesn't want to change the president, then he has to

1211
00:55:47,080 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 4: be able to play without his top receiving Jamar Chase,

1212
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:54,640
Speaker 4: and force Jamar Chase to feel the pressure of not

1213
00:55:54,719 --> 00:55:58,000
Speaker 4: getting paid checks, not getting significant money early in the

1214
00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,960
Speaker 4: season to see if he'll relinquished that hold out.

1215
00:56:02,160 --> 00:56:04,359
Speaker 2: Okay, let me ask you this. They're playing the New

1216
00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:07,600
Speaker 2: England Patriots today, and that team right now, Offensively, they're

1217
00:56:07,719 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 2: challenge for sure of the Patriots. Defensively, they're still fairly strong.

1218
00:56:11,520 --> 00:56:16,759
Speaker 2: They're not bad without Chase, without Higgins, how much would

1219
00:56:16,760 --> 00:56:18,839
Speaker 2: that hurt the Bengals and that gives Does that give

1220
00:56:18,920 --> 00:56:21,160
Speaker 2: the New England Patriots the opportunity really to beat the

1221
00:56:21,200 --> 00:56:23,600
Speaker 2: Bengals today? I just think the Bengals are that much

1222
00:56:23,680 --> 00:56:27,000
Speaker 2: better than the Patriots. But what about without Higgins and Chase?

1223
00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:33,680
Speaker 4: No, Look, even the teams that have significant advantages are

1224
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,279
Speaker 4: never better than more than a touchdown. You talk about

1225
00:56:36,280 --> 00:56:40,240
Speaker 4: a league that is routinely decided by eight points of fewer.

1226
00:56:41,120 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 4: If T Higgins and Jamar Chase don't play, I mean,

1227
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:48,120
Speaker 4: it becomes an even game. The Cincinnati Bingles definitely aren't

1228
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:50,520
Speaker 4: the favorite. After that, it becomes an even game, a

1229
00:56:50,600 --> 00:56:54,360
Speaker 4: toss up. And you know, in those moments it's about

1230
00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,319
Speaker 4: making plays and executing in those things which guys can

1231
00:56:57,360 --> 00:57:00,800
Speaker 4: make plays under pressure. But losing T Higgins and Jamar

1232
00:57:00,880 --> 00:57:04,440
Speaker 4: Chase would cripple this offense's approach and it would make

1233
00:57:04,480 --> 00:57:06,640
Speaker 4: it very very difficult for start to drop a game plan.

1234
00:57:06,719 --> 00:57:07,400
Speaker 4: That is winnable.

1235
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:11,840
Speaker 2: It's amazing. It hurts me I think that, and I

1236
00:57:11,880 --> 00:57:15,080
Speaker 2: guess Jamar doesn't care. I think there's gonna be a

1237
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:18,320
Speaker 2: real big pushback from the fan base if he doesn't

1238
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: play today because he was a fan favorite, no doubt

1239
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: about that. But I guess they don't care. I mean,

1240
00:57:22,880 --> 00:57:25,440
Speaker 2: do players care about the fans honestly?

1241
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:26,280
Speaker 4: Do that?

1242
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:26,960
Speaker 2: I don't think.

1243
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:30,480
Speaker 4: I mean they care to a point, but not at

1244
00:57:30,480 --> 00:57:35,080
Speaker 4: the expensive career and your own money. In business, No,

1245
00:57:35,320 --> 00:57:37,800
Speaker 4: I mean, you know what I'm saying, like not to

1246
00:57:37,840 --> 00:57:40,560
Speaker 4: the point where a I'm appease to fans and I'm

1247
00:57:40,560 --> 00:57:44,360
Speaker 4: gonna take this personal sacrifice. No, business is business, and

1248
00:57:44,880 --> 00:57:48,360
Speaker 4: I think fans have to treat teams like business and

1249
00:57:48,440 --> 00:57:50,840
Speaker 4: view it like business man Mike Brown could have ended

1250
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:54,520
Speaker 4: all this long time ago. You know, either be very

1251
00:57:54,640 --> 00:57:57,000
Speaker 4: clear and definitive A Jamar, that's cool that you want

1252
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:59,200
Speaker 4: to get your deal, but we're not paying you, so

1253
00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:01,720
Speaker 4: you can either whole out or whatever. But here's what

1254
00:58:01,760 --> 00:58:04,480
Speaker 4: it's going to be. Same thing for T Higgins. Either

1255
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,960
Speaker 4: we're gonna pay T Higgins, or we're not paying T Higgins,

1256
00:58:07,160 --> 00:58:09,440
Speaker 4: or we're gonna use the franchise tag and he can

1257
00:58:09,920 --> 00:58:13,160
Speaker 4: pout in mope, but eventually he'll either sign it or

1258
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,440
Speaker 4: he won't play. And so if they're gonna be hard

1259
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:19,000
Speaker 4: line like they've been, he should be really hard line

1260
00:58:19,280 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 4: and not kind of acquiesce to this whole in and whatever,

1261
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:25,000
Speaker 4: because now what you've done is you put Zack Taylor

1262
00:58:25,040 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 4: in a tough spot. Zach Taylor on game day doesn't

1263
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,480
Speaker 4: know if he's gonna have his two top receivers, so

1264
00:58:30,520 --> 00:58:32,560
Speaker 4: he hasn't been able to fully build out a game

1265
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:36,200
Speaker 4: plan that allows him to account for those things. So

1266
00:58:36,680 --> 00:58:39,240
Speaker 4: Mike Brown has really hurt Zach Taylor more so than

1267
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:43,880
Speaker 4: these players have. Because if Jamar Chase didn't want to

1268
00:58:43,960 --> 00:58:47,080
Speaker 4: practice or whatever, don't let him in the facility and

1269
00:58:47,160 --> 00:58:49,200
Speaker 4: find him. That's part of the CVA.

1270
00:58:50,600 --> 00:58:53,680
Speaker 2: Well, what is your take as a former player in

1271
00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,200
Speaker 2: the National Football League? Is Jamar Chase doing the right

1272
00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,400
Speaker 2: thing as Mike Brown being steadfast as he doing the

1273
00:58:59,440 --> 00:59:03,560
Speaker 2: right thing? Again? As I say, if he signs Jamar

1274
00:59:03,680 --> 00:59:07,120
Speaker 2: Chase to an extension, that opens up the floodgates, that

1275
00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:10,640
Speaker 2: sets a precedent to every player who wants to get

1276
00:59:10,680 --> 00:59:14,320
Speaker 2: a new contract after more than one year remaining on

1277
00:59:14,360 --> 00:59:17,280
Speaker 2: their contract. That because look, look what happened in Cleveland

1278
00:59:17,320 --> 00:59:20,640
Speaker 2: with Deshaun Watson. That set the president for quarterbacks. It

1279
00:59:20,760 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 2: really did. Jamar Chase could set the president right now

1280
00:59:23,720 --> 00:59:25,920
Speaker 2: for receivers. What's your take on that?

1281
00:59:26,040 --> 00:59:28,640
Speaker 4: And it will because here's what I will say. Look

1282
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 4: at Cincinnati's history and how they've done it. Jesse Bass

1283
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,520
Speaker 4: was a really good player. They didn't pay Jesse Bass

1284
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:36,440
Speaker 4: like there have been a number of players that have

1285
00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:40,120
Speaker 4: been really good for them that have barked and complained

1286
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,520
Speaker 4: and whined about money. And he was like, yeah, that's cool.

1287
00:59:42,560 --> 00:59:44,040
Speaker 4: You're gonna play on this tag and then you can

1288
00:59:44,040 --> 00:59:45,960
Speaker 4: do whatever it is you want to do after this season.

1289
00:59:47,160 --> 00:59:49,120
Speaker 4: I have a hard time believing that Mike Brown is

1290
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:53,360
Speaker 4: gonna cave. He hasn't done this, and if he does it,

1291
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:56,760
Speaker 4: his retort to those who come after Jamar Chase, you're

1292
00:59:56,800 --> 00:59:59,160
Speaker 4: not Jamar Chase and Joe Burrow. They're the ones who

1293
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,160
Speaker 4: deserve this kind of treatment. Did the ones that can

1294
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:03,880
Speaker 4: get it, they will get it. You want Mazy, it

1295
01:00:03,920 --> 01:00:04,360
Speaker 4: really is.

1296
01:00:04,400 --> 01:00:06,360
Speaker 2: I mean, it's gonna be interesting and it's gonna be

1297
01:00:06,440 --> 01:00:08,520
Speaker 2: like a game time situation. So we'll see what's gonna

1298
01:00:08,520 --> 01:00:10,880
Speaker 2: happen and certainly the betters in Vegas are gonna be

1299
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:12,560
Speaker 2: happy about this either. They don't know what to do.

1300
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,920
Speaker 2: I mean, this just changes everything as far as lines

1301
01:00:15,960 --> 01:00:18,040
Speaker 2: on games, which we don't even touch about. But yeah,

1302
01:00:18,080 --> 01:00:19,640
Speaker 2: people are interested in lines. They know where to go

1303
01:00:19,680 --> 01:00:22,120
Speaker 2: and find that. That's for sure, all right. He is

1304
01:00:22,320 --> 01:00:24,160
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. Get him on next, get him on Twitter,

1305

01:01:29,560 --> 01:01:31,880
Speaker 2: now let's get into some football right now, we talk

1330
01:01:31,960 --> 01:01:37,320
Speaker 2: about not a sure thing looking for revenge stealer Falcons, okay,

1331
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 2: stealer offensive coordinator Arthur Smith perhaps looking for revenge against

1332
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,960
Speaker 2: his former team. Today. We'll see how much of a

1333
01:01:44,040 --> 01:01:47,680
Speaker 2: fact will that come into play stealers Falcons today. And

1334
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:49,320
Speaker 2: I kind of like what you said. I think that

1335
01:01:50,680 --> 01:01:53,160
Speaker 2: the Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins gonna have a big day

1336
01:01:53,160 --> 01:01:56,040
Speaker 2: today looking at his receiver maybe one of his favorites.

1337
01:01:56,080 --> 01:01:57,440
Speaker 2: So now it's going to be Drake London.

1338
01:02:00,080 --> 01:02:02,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would think he would be a big favorite.

1339
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:05,320
Speaker 4: Drake London is someone they're really excited about. They're trying

1340
01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,960
Speaker 4: to showcase him, and so I would expect him to

1341
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,640
Speaker 4: get a ton of targets. He would get plenty of

1342
01:02:09,680 --> 01:02:13,000
Speaker 4: action as he kind of established himself as one of

1343
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,280
Speaker 4: those emerging number one receivers in the league.

1344
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,640
Speaker 2: And what about Russell Wilson's he going to play as

1345
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:20,000
Speaker 2: he healthy? Was to deal with Russell Wilson making his

1346
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,640
Speaker 2: start right now in Pittsburgh, his second life, so to speak,

1347
01:02:23,680 --> 01:02:27,400
Speaker 2: I guess he's gonna be looking for George Pickens. And honestly,

1348
01:02:27,480 --> 01:02:31,120
Speaker 2: I've got something in my mind. I'd like to see

1349
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:33,720
Speaker 2: the Stealers lose to help the Bengals, obviously, but because

1350
01:02:33,720 --> 01:02:35,800
Speaker 2: I'm a fan, but I just think the Foulgers are

1351
01:02:35,800 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: gonna win. But I think it's gonna be a close game.

1352
01:02:37,320 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 2: I think beyond Robertson, the running back of Atlanta may

1353
01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:41,920
Speaker 2: be the difference. He'll be the different spec of them.

1354
01:02:41,920 --> 01:02:43,680
Speaker 2: Because Atlanta gains the lead, they give them the ball,

1355
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:44,520
Speaker 2: they were out of the clock.

1356
01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:48,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, that'd be the thing. The thing about

1357
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:53,440
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson status is undecided right now, and it's undecided

1358
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,000
Speaker 4: because of like the calf injury and those things. They

1359
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:59,560
Speaker 4: haven't said that he's going to play and You kind

1360
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:01,160
Speaker 4: of want to think that he's going to be out,

1361
01:03:01,440 --> 01:03:05,040
Speaker 4: but you never know. But regardless, this offense has to

1362
01:03:05,040 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 4: be one that is physical. They got to run the football.

1363
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,280
Speaker 4: The line has to control it, and then they got

1364
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,080
Speaker 4: to make the plays that are available on the perimeter.

1365
01:03:11,120 --> 01:03:13,400
Speaker 4: If they do that, they have an opportunity. But this

1366
01:03:13,480 --> 01:03:15,880
Speaker 4: is a defensive lad team, not an offensive lead team.

1367
01:03:15,960 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 4: The offense has to compliment what they want to do defensively.

1368
01:03:19,040 --> 01:03:21,080
Speaker 2: You like Atlanta in this game and a close one?

1369
01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:23,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I like Atlanta. I think Atlanta wins this one.

1370
01:03:23,840 --> 01:03:25,520
Speaker 2: I do too, I really do. Let's look at the

1371
01:03:25,520 --> 01:03:27,520
Speaker 2: Cardinals Bills for a second right now. A big year

1372
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:29,959
Speaker 2: for the Bills. I mean, can Josh Allen get it done?

1373
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,440
Speaker 2: That's the thing right now. But the problem here is

1374
01:03:32,440 --> 01:03:34,320
Speaker 2: that Cardinals. They were fourth in new odds and second

1375
01:03:34,360 --> 01:03:36,440
Speaker 2: in newyards per tent a year ago. Now they got

1376
01:03:36,480 --> 01:03:39,440
Speaker 2: their running back Tray Benson there, and I think everybody's

1377
01:03:39,440 --> 01:03:41,880
Speaker 2: gonna have their eyes on their wide receiver in the draft,

1378
01:03:41,920 --> 01:03:46,680
Speaker 2: Marvin Harrison. So honestly, I think that Bills get it done.

1379
01:03:46,840 --> 01:03:49,200
Speaker 2: The game is in Buffalo, with that army of fans

1380
01:03:49,240 --> 01:03:51,120
Speaker 2: over there, I think that's a big difference of great

1381
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:54,360
Speaker 2: home advantage right now. But I think Arizona's going to

1382
01:03:54,400 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 2: give them the game. I really do.

1383
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. Now, Arizona's going to be competitive. They were competitive

1384
01:03:59,720 --> 01:04:03,160
Speaker 4: last ye. I think surprisingly people were surprised how competitive

1385
01:04:03,200 --> 01:04:05,720
Speaker 4: they were. But I expect them to be just be

1386
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,560
Speaker 4: a feisty game, a competitive game, and one that goes

1387
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,840
Speaker 4: into the fourth quarter. But the Buffalo Bills, if Josh

1388
01:04:10,840 --> 01:04:12,959
Speaker 4: Allen is what we think he's gonna be, they gotta

1389
01:04:12,960 --> 01:04:14,320
Speaker 4: figure out way to do it, get it done.

1390
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, and the big matchup's gonna be I think Marvin

1391
01:04:17,160 --> 01:04:19,640
Speaker 2: Harrison right now, the number four pick in the draft

1392
01:04:19,720 --> 01:04:22,040
Speaker 2: last year, He's going to be a megastar in the league.

1393
01:04:22,040 --> 01:04:25,360
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. But can the cornerbacks of

1394
01:04:25,400 --> 01:04:28,720
Speaker 2: the Buffalo Bills stay with this guy? And look, honestly,

1395
01:04:28,800 --> 01:04:30,920
Speaker 2: I think Game one is a big test for many teams.

1396
01:04:30,920 --> 01:04:33,720
Speaker 2: Why is that because there's no film? I mean, you

1397
01:04:33,800 --> 01:04:36,640
Speaker 2: don't know about much in scouting. I mean, how does

1398
01:04:36,640 --> 01:04:41,360
Speaker 2: the defensive coordinator really study a team coming into a

1399
01:04:41,360 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 2: game today when there's no film to study? That's the key.

1400
01:04:45,120 --> 01:04:47,200
Speaker 2: You're just blindsided the times.

1401
01:04:48,080 --> 01:04:49,560
Speaker 4: Yes, minor. So what you do is you have a

1402
01:04:49,600 --> 01:04:52,680
Speaker 4: very generic game plan, and you tell the team, hey,

1403
01:04:52,760 --> 01:04:54,360
Speaker 4: to take us about a quarter to figure out what

1404
01:04:54,400 --> 01:04:56,560
Speaker 4: they're really doing, and then we'll make some adjustments. And

1405
01:04:56,640 --> 01:04:58,640
Speaker 4: that you try and dig down into the history and

1406
01:04:58,640 --> 01:05:02,120
Speaker 4: look at everything they do, previous spot stops and those

1407
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:05,040
Speaker 4: things and put it together. But you don't know, and

1408
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,040
Speaker 4: so you want to play as basic and as simple

1409
01:05:07,040 --> 01:05:10,000
Speaker 4: as you can early until the game kind of settles in,

1410
01:05:10,080 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 4: and then you make the adjustments and go forward. You know,

1411
01:05:12,960 --> 01:05:14,320
Speaker 4: you gotta be a pro. You got to figure out

1412
01:05:14,360 --> 01:05:16,160
Speaker 4: how to get it done. But yeah, it's a challenge

1413
01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:17,720
Speaker 4: when you don't have film on an opponent.

1414
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:19,880
Speaker 2: Who do you like in this one? I'm gonna go

1415
01:05:19,920 --> 01:05:22,480
Speaker 2: with the Bills, but I think it's gonna be a struggle.

1416
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:24,200
Speaker 2: But I think the Bills win this one. I think

1417
01:05:24,240 --> 01:05:27,120
Speaker 2: they they may win by a touchdown, maybe a touchdown one.

1418
01:05:27,280 --> 01:05:29,240
Speaker 2: They might win by a touchdown on the field about ten.

1419
01:05:29,520 --> 01:05:31,400
Speaker 2: I've taken the Bills by ten, but it's going to

1420
01:05:31,480 --> 01:05:32,200
Speaker 2: be a struggle for.

1421
01:05:32,160 --> 01:05:35,680
Speaker 4: Buffalo Man by tim that's a big old margin. That's

1422
01:05:35,680 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 4: almost like a little.

1423
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:40,200
Speaker 2: Twenty seven to seventeen at the end. At the end,

1424
01:05:40,200 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 2: when it's basically.

1425
01:05:41,160 --> 01:05:43,520
Speaker 4: Over, I get it now. I get it. Look, I

1426
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:46,320
Speaker 4: like the Bills in this one as well. I'll take him.

1427
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:48,040
Speaker 4: I think it's gonna be a close game, a competitive game.

1428
01:05:48,040 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 4: But yeah, let's go to the Bills on that.

1429
01:05:49,400 --> 01:05:51,800
Speaker 2: All right, sounds great. We continue. He's Bucket Brooks and

1430
01:05:51,840 --> 01:05:55,280
Speaker 2: Andy Furman. We are Fox Football Sunday on Fox. Buts

1431
01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:57,320
Speaker 2: right now, all new look. There's a new look for

1432
01:05:57,360 --> 01:06:00,200
Speaker 2: one NFL team that's next. And there's an old for

1433
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:01,920
Speaker 2: Kevin Wyatt with your sports, isn't it.

1434
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 5: Yeah, And it might be a new look for the

1435
01:06:03,720 --> 01:06:08,360
Speaker 5: Pittsburgh Steelers today. At quarterback Ian Rappaport about forty five

1436
01:06:08,400 --> 01:06:11,800
Speaker 5: minutes ago, saying that the Steelers are expected to examine

1437
01:06:11,960 --> 01:06:14,720
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson this morning to check out his cap but

1438
01:06:15,240 --> 01:06:18,160
Speaker 5: as it stands right now, it is more likely that

1439
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,800
Speaker 5: Justin Fields will be getting the start today against the

1440
01:06:21,880 --> 01:06:25,240
Speaker 5: Atlanta Falcons. And Rappaport had a few more updates overnight.

1441
01:06:25,240 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 5: Wide receiver Tyler Lockett he's listened as questionable for the

1442
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,440
Speaker 5: Seahawks with a thigh injury. He is expected to be

1443
01:06:31,560 --> 01:06:35,400
Speaker 5: on the field today. Dolphins corner Jalen Ramsey he is

1444
01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,280
Speaker 5: going to try to play today. He's listened as questionable

1445
01:06:38,280 --> 01:06:40,320
Speaker 5: with a hamstring injury. He's not going to be at

1446
01:06:40,320 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 5: full strength, however, and will be on a limited pitch count.

1447
01:06:44,760 --> 01:06:48,439
Speaker 5: Lions offensive tackle Dj Reader he's attempting to return from

1448
01:06:48,440 --> 01:06:52,120
Speaker 5: a significant quad injury, however, he is not ready not

1449
01:06:52,240 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 5: quite ready to return to play today. Next week is

1450
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:59,960
Speaker 5: seen as a more realistic timeline for the Chicago Bears.

1451
01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:02,600
Speaker 5: Keenan Allen and Montes Sweat that both listened to this

1452
01:07:02,720 --> 01:07:07,040
Speaker 5: questionable are expected to play today. Adam Schefter with an

1453
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:11,880
Speaker 5: update last night. Patriots running back Antonio Gibson is planning

1454
01:07:11,920 --> 01:07:15,400
Speaker 5: to play today against the Bengals. He's questionable with a

1455
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:19,840
Speaker 5: hip injury, and Christian mccaffery's saying he will be playing

1456
01:07:20,000 --> 01:07:22,720
Speaker 5: on Monday. He's been dealing with a calf inch calf

1457
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:28,040
Speaker 5: issue that had him limited in practice on Friday, and

1458
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,640
Speaker 5: ESPN saying that the forty nine ers are eyeing a

1459
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,160
Speaker 5: full workload Monday for Trent Williams, however, and keep an

1460
01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:37,480
Speaker 5: eye on this. Fantasy owners reduced snaps for wide receiver

1461
01:07:38,160 --> 01:07:42,880
Speaker 5: Brandon i You and for Jordan Love. It wasn't as

1462
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 5: bad as feared. He tweaked his leg in the fourth

1463
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 5: quarter was six seconds ago in their game in Brazil

1464
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:52,200
Speaker 5: against the Eagles on Friday, and it appears to be

1465
01:07:52,360 --> 01:07:54,640
Speaker 5: just an mcl Spring will be out three to six weeks,

1466
01:07:54,640 --> 01:07:58,120
Speaker 5: but many were fearing a potentially season ending injury, so

1467
01:07:58,360 --> 01:08:01,680
Speaker 5: that's good news for the Green Bay Packers. As for

1468
01:08:01,800 --> 01:08:04,760
Speaker 5: college football, the episode of the day in South Bend,

1469
01:08:04,920 --> 01:08:08,160
Speaker 5: Northern Illinois taking down number five Notre Dame sixteen to

1470
01:08:08,240 --> 01:08:11,280
Speaker 5: fourteen as the Husky's blocking Notre dames go ahead field

1471
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:15,320
Speaker 5: goal attempt as time expired. Number three Texas a winner

1472
01:08:15,360 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 5: at number ten Michigan thirty one to twelve quin Yours

1473
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,679
Speaker 5: with three touchdown passes. Number seven Oregon, for the second

1474
01:08:21,720 --> 01:08:24,519
Speaker 5: week in a row, had to fight to get by

1475
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:26,800
Speaker 5: a team they were favored against. They get a walk

1476
01:08:26,800 --> 01:08:29,519
Speaker 5: off field goal to beat Boise State thirty seven thirty four,

1477
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:31,960
Speaker 5: and number eight Penn State needed to come back, but

1478
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 5: they do beat Bowling Green thirty four to twenty seven.

1479
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:35,679
Speaker 5: Back to you guys, all.

1480
01:08:35,640 --> 01:08:38,639
Speaker 2: Right, ket thanks so much. No offense means no win.

1481
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,599
Speaker 2: We'll get to that in just about a minute. He's

1482
01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:44,080
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Fermoweel Fox Football Sunday on Fox

1483
01:08:44,080 --> 01:08:47,400
Speaker 2: Sports Radio we got bottom barrel betting at about five

1484
01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,000
Speaker 2: six minutes from now. All right, let's go here. Dick

1485
01:08:50,040 --> 01:08:53,960
Speaker 2: from Dayton. Dick is listed on WNE and Dayton, Ohio. Dick,

1486
01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:56,000
Speaker 2: how are you? You're on with Bucky Brooks?

1487
01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:58,120
Speaker 8: Hey? Andy? How are you being?

1488
01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:58,479
Speaker 5: Hi?

1489
01:08:58,640 --> 01:08:58,760
Speaker 10: Ah?

1490
01:08:58,800 --> 01:09:01,800
Speaker 8: Hi, Bucky. It's good to talk to you. I like

1491
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:05,160
Speaker 8: going to miss you at seven hundred. As you know,

1492
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:07,559
Speaker 8: I call there all the time, but I know you did.

1493
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,360
Speaker 8: I've just wanted to say something, Mandy. I remember your show.

1494
01:09:12,120 --> 01:09:15,520
Speaker 8: I loved it. But I want to say about the Bengals.

1495
01:09:15,880 --> 01:09:18,040
Speaker 8: I think it's going to be up to Joe Burrow.

1496
01:09:18,439 --> 01:09:21,400
Speaker 8: I think they can do it, but if he doesn't produce,

1497
01:09:21,560 --> 01:09:24,360
Speaker 8: we're you know. I think they can do it, but

1498
01:09:24,439 --> 01:09:27,720
Speaker 8: I'm like you. Without Chase, it's going to be kind

1499
01:09:27,720 --> 01:09:29,719
Speaker 8: of rough. And they don't have Higgins anymore.

1500
01:09:30,000 --> 01:09:32,320
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, it'd be tough. Gotta be tough.

1501
01:09:32,400 --> 01:09:32,599
Speaker 4: Dick.

1502
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:36,360
Speaker 2: Enjoy the game. Love hearing your voice. Have a great day, Dick.

1503
01:09:36,400 --> 01:09:38,760
Speaker 2: Thanks for calling on w oh Ady of Dayton. There

1504
01:09:38,760 --> 01:09:40,800
Speaker 2: you go, all right, bye bye? Now all right, now,

1505
01:09:40,840 --> 01:09:43,040
Speaker 2: let's go back to this Titans Bears game. Right now,

1506
01:09:43,240 --> 01:09:45,840
Speaker 2: A different Titan look right, now because you have no

1507
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,840
Speaker 2: Derek Henry. So what does that mean? In my mind,

1508
01:09:47,880 --> 01:09:50,120
Speaker 2: it means that that quarterback Will Levice is going to

1509
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,639
Speaker 2: be doing were passing and he's got de Andre Hopkins

1510
01:09:52,640 --> 01:09:55,760
Speaker 2: and Calvin Ridley. Can he get it done? You know,

1511
01:09:55,840 --> 01:09:58,280
Speaker 2: I don't think they're going to beat the Bears. I

1512
01:09:58,360 --> 01:10:00,519
Speaker 2: just don't think they will. I don't have a lot

1513
01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,720
Speaker 2: of confidence in Will Levis. And you know, it's just

1514
01:10:02,760 --> 01:10:07,120
Speaker 2: a whole completely different offense right now with that ball club.

1515
01:10:07,200 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 2: It really is.

1516
01:10:09,320 --> 01:10:11,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean it's a different it's a different thing.

1517
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 4: They try to upgrade the personnel around them. They have

1518
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:17,920
Speaker 4: put guys in places, Calvin Ridley to team up with

1519
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 4: DeAndre Hopkins. They bring in Tony Pollard to give them

1520
01:10:21,120 --> 01:10:24,240
Speaker 4: explosive option out the backfield. So they have some players

1521
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,400
Speaker 4: in place. As a matter of what can they do

1522
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:31,960
Speaker 4: to get this team going? Early? With Brian Callahan taken over,

1523
01:10:32,400 --> 01:10:34,760
Speaker 4: I would say pay close attention to the line play.

1524
01:10:35,280 --> 01:10:40,840
Speaker 4: Brian's dad, Bill comes over, is the offensive line coach extraordinary,

1525
01:10:40,920 --> 01:10:42,600
Speaker 4: does a really good job with the run game and

1526
01:10:42,680 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 4: really uplifting the unit. And so you just can't count

1527
01:10:46,320 --> 01:10:48,080
Speaker 4: them out. They're gonna run the football They may run

1528
01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:50,559
Speaker 4: it in a different fashion than they did with Derrick Henry,

1529
01:10:50,680 --> 01:10:52,360
Speaker 4: but I look for this team to throw it around

1530
01:10:52,400 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 4: a little bit. They try and play to the strengths

1531
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,559
Speaker 4: of the quarterback and try and see if they can

1532
01:10:55,600 --> 01:10:57,760
Speaker 4: elevate this quarterback to franchise status.

1533
01:10:57,960 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 2: Yeah. I think all lies obviously, Caleb Williams. The game

1534
01:11:00,360 --> 01:11:02,920
Speaker 2: is in Chicago's to be. The fans will be foaming

1535
01:11:02,920 --> 01:11:05,160
Speaker 2: from the mouth today. So I like the Bears. I

1536
01:11:05,200 --> 01:11:07,880
Speaker 2: like the Bears in a close one, and I think

1537
01:11:07,960 --> 01:11:11,040
Speaker 2: right now with the good secondary, Chicago's got a pretty

1538
01:11:11,080 --> 01:11:14,200
Speaker 2: good secondary. So in fact that Tennessee goes past heavy,

1539
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:16,360
Speaker 2: I think Chicago'll be ready for that. I think the

1540
01:11:16,400 --> 01:11:18,160
Speaker 2: Bears winning a closer win by a field goal. I

1541
01:11:18,200 --> 01:11:19,679
Speaker 2: think Chicago Bears in that one.

1542
01:11:19,800 --> 01:11:21,920
Speaker 4: Oh, I like you, Okay. I think the thing about

1543
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,840
Speaker 4: the Bears is don't expect big numbers from Kayler Williams.

1544
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:26,679
Speaker 4: Everyone thinks that they're gonna just come and it's gonna

1545
01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 4: be a video game. Kayler Williams and the Bears looked

1546
01:11:28,920 --> 01:11:30,479
Speaker 4: for them to be a little more conservative, to get

1547
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:34,720
Speaker 4: the young guy untracked with confidence early and lean on

1548
01:11:34,760 --> 01:11:36,720
Speaker 4: this defense. His defense has chanced to be really good.

1549
01:11:37,280 --> 01:11:39,880
Speaker 2: All right, We move on now, as we talked about

1550
01:11:39,880 --> 01:11:42,439
Speaker 2: a little bit, the Patriots at the Bengals today. Got

1551
01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:44,719
Speaker 2: a new coach, girod Mayo, but he knows the system.

1552
01:11:44,760 --> 01:11:47,120
Speaker 2: He played for Bill Belichick, so he's a part of

1553
01:11:47,160 --> 01:11:49,280
Speaker 2: the family. They got a quarterback was a veteran now

1554
01:11:49,360 --> 01:11:51,600
Speaker 2: Jacobi Brissett, but he's got to get rid of that

1555
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,479
Speaker 2: ball quick. He really does have a weak offensive line

1556
01:11:54,520 --> 01:11:57,880
Speaker 2: in New England and now have a pass rush. They'll

1557
01:11:57,880 --> 01:12:01,000
Speaker 2: be feasting. I think the Bengals defensive line will be

1558
01:12:01,040 --> 01:12:04,280
Speaker 2: feasting on Jacobe Prisett today, So we'll see what happens

1559
01:12:04,320 --> 01:12:07,160
Speaker 2: right now. But again, without Jamar Chase, without t Higgins

1560
01:12:07,320 --> 01:12:09,639
Speaker 2: kind of makes the game a little more even. Right now,

1561
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,960
Speaker 2: I think the Bengals win it, But without Chasing and Higgins,

1562
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 2: I think it'll be a lot closer than people think.

1563
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,599
Speaker 4: Yeah, like a field goal at the end to win

1564
01:12:19,640 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 4: it displays into the Patriots hands. If Chase and Higgins

1565
01:12:22,360 --> 01:12:25,080
Speaker 4: aren't there, it's gonna be really, really difficult. Love Jermaine Burton,

1566
01:12:25,160 --> 01:12:27,439
Speaker 4: though one of my favorite rookies in terms of the

1567
01:12:27,439 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 4: class third round pick, has given them juice average nineteen

1568
01:12:30,160 --> 01:12:33,680
Speaker 4: point six yards per catch during the preseason. He's a

1569
01:12:33,680 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 4: big play waiting to happen. He may have to grow

1570
01:12:37,040 --> 01:12:41,040
Speaker 4: up sooner than expected and become a big time player

1571
01:12:41,080 --> 01:12:41,719
Speaker 4: for him right away.

1572
01:12:42,240 --> 01:12:44,240
Speaker 2: I think Trey Hendrickson of the Bengals will have a

1573
01:12:44,240 --> 01:12:46,680
Speaker 2: big day today. They have a couple of sacks, so

1574
01:12:46,720 --> 01:12:48,880
Speaker 2: I think he'll have a biggie today. I think the

1575
01:12:48,960 --> 01:12:51,200
Speaker 2: key to this game right now is the week offensive line.

1576
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,960
Speaker 2: So how quick Kobe Perset get rid of the ball.

1577
01:12:54,160 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 2: That's the key right there. If he gets rid of

1578
01:12:56,040 --> 01:13:00,000
Speaker 2: the ball and without them touching him, the Bengals touching him,

1579
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,040
Speaker 2: I think this could be a game. But I just

1580
01:13:02,080 --> 01:13:04,479
Speaker 2: don't see. I don't think that the personnel in New

1581
01:13:04,479 --> 01:13:06,400
Speaker 2: England's as good as the personnel in Cincinnati.

1582
01:13:08,040 --> 01:13:12,120
Speaker 4: No, it's not top top. So then in these situations,

1583
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:16,280
Speaker 4: if it's it comes down to it where Cincinnati is

1584
01:13:16,320 --> 01:13:19,439
Speaker 4: better personnel wise, even despite missing the stars. Can they

1585
01:13:19,520 --> 01:13:22,760
Speaker 4: make fewer mistakes, meaning not give the ball away. If

1586
01:13:22,760 --> 01:13:25,120
Speaker 4: they don't give the ball away, they don't have silly penalties,

1587
01:13:25,320 --> 01:13:27,080
Speaker 4: they don't mess up in the kicking game, then they

1588
01:13:27,080 --> 01:13:29,240
Speaker 4: should be able to win. So it's can they take

1589
01:13:29,280 --> 01:13:31,920
Speaker 4: a mature approach to get this team out of here.

1590
01:13:32,160 --> 01:13:33,519
Speaker 4: That's what this Bengals have to do.

1591
01:13:34,040 --> 01:13:36,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and what a confidence builder would it be if,

1592
01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 2: in fact, the Bengals win their game at home opening

1593
01:13:40,439 --> 01:13:45,479
Speaker 2: day without Chase and Higgins Because traditionally this Cincinnati Bengals

1594
01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 2: team is a slow starting team. Would it seem like

1595
01:13:47,720 --> 01:13:49,799
Speaker 2: three and five last year when they started the season.

1596
01:13:50,120 --> 01:13:53,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's yeah, it'd be different. You know, like

1597
01:13:53,439 --> 01:13:55,160
Speaker 4: these slow starts can come back to get you. So

1598
01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:57,240
Speaker 4: you want to make sure that you get it going,

1599
01:13:57,479 --> 01:13:59,680
Speaker 4: you get it popping right out the gate, and you

1600
01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:01,360
Speaker 4: try I find a way to win. Because the first

1601
01:14:01,360 --> 01:14:03,720
Speaker 4: month of the season people dismiss as oh teams trying

1602
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,680
Speaker 4: to figure it out, but the teams that shoot out

1603
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,200
Speaker 4: quickly are the ones that end up making the postseason.

1604

1645
01:15:49,439 --> 01:15:54,080
Speaker 4: I don't think it's start is the start there? So

1646
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 4: that was pre season, that was pre season. It's pre

01:16:19,800 --> 01:16:21,800
Speaker 2: No, you can't. You gotta go with the Jeans. Lewis

1656
01:16:21,880 --> 01:16:24,799
Speaker 2: Rodriguez has to be related to Alex some way, somehow,

1657
01:16:24,880 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 2: So I'm going with Lewis. Really, you gotta go with thereright,

1658
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:29,960
Speaker 2: you gotta go with the names, the jeens. That's what

Speaker 11: Really, that's not racist at all, Absolutely not not racist.

1661
01:16:34,240 --> 01:16:37,360
Speaker 2: No, that's not no. Wait, I'm gonna smack you from

Speaker 2: I mean, if someone's last name was Brooks, I'm going

1665
01:16:45,880 --> 01:16:46,479
Speaker 4: Okay, you.

01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:49,719
Speaker 5: Okay.

1668
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,679

Speaker 11: the answer.

1780
01:21:42,080 --> 01:21:42,479

1782
01:21:46,000 --> 01:21:48,439
Speaker 2: by the people you work with, because I have a

1783

Speaker 5: it was just more you said John Legend. Okay, cool, right,

1790

1794
01:22:20,600 --> 01:22:22,200

Speaker 5: I should have never heard of it? That's what I

1797
01:22:26,439 --> 01:22:30,960
Speaker 5: should have said, Buddy, Bucky. Andy's having himself the moment here.

1798

Speaker 5: I'm foaming at the mouth.

01:24:05,479 --> 01:24:08,439
Speaker 10: And I was the best today and we were able

1830
01:24:08,479 --> 01:24:09,160
Speaker 10: to get it down.

1831
01:24:09,560 --> 01:24:11,080
Speaker 5: All right there it is. We cut it off at

1832
01:24:11,080 --> 01:24:13,439
Speaker 5: thirty seven seconds. It goes on for another couple of minutes.

1833
01:24:13,680 --> 01:24:17,200
Speaker 5: They got paid one point four million to come in Wow,

1834
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:21,000
Speaker 5: to beat a top five squad. So, I mean, there's

1835
01:24:21,040 --> 01:24:24,160
Speaker 5: the positivity right minutes more minutes. This is his alma mata.

1836
01:24:24,320 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 5: He is back and he rallied them talking about the

1837
01:24:27,600 --> 01:24:30,639
Speaker 5: positivity of the week. That was guys. But we work

1838
01:24:30,680 --> 01:24:34,200
Speaker 5: in sports talk radio and you know, with some video

1839
01:24:34,320 --> 01:24:36,439
Speaker 5: attachment to it, which means I gotta go to the

1840
01:24:36,520 --> 01:24:38,200
Speaker 5: other side. So is that the end of Notre Dame

1841
01:24:38,240 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 5: for the year? Bucky Brooks?

1842
01:24:41,000 --> 01:24:43,080
Speaker 4: No, that's not the end. I mean it's a it's

1843
01:24:43,080 --> 01:24:46,479
Speaker 4: a big hiccup though doesn't look great, big hitcup. But

1844
01:24:47,040 --> 01:24:50,519
Speaker 4: they were ripe for this one because they just had

1845
01:24:50,560 --> 01:24:52,600
Speaker 4: an emotional win against Texas A and M. So you

1846
01:24:52,680 --> 01:24:55,280
Speaker 4: knew that they were going to be kind of emotionally

1847
01:24:55,320 --> 01:24:59,000
Speaker 4: tapped out, and it showed they just weren't able to

1848
01:24:59,040 --> 01:25:01,360
Speaker 4: kind of match that in and emotion and before you

1849
01:25:01,400 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 4: know it, you get into a dog fight and you

1850
01:25:03,880 --> 01:25:05,680
Speaker 4: just don't have enough gas to be able to pull

1851
01:25:05,720 --> 01:25:06,040
Speaker 4: it off.

1852
01:25:06,600 --> 01:25:09,600
Speaker 5: Andy, I know you love the way Bucky Brooks is

1853
01:25:09,600 --> 01:25:10,360
Speaker 5: so positive.

1854
01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:13,160
Speaker 2: I want to throw up. That's how positive you are. Wow,

1855
01:25:13,320 --> 01:25:15,000
Speaker 2: I love it. I love it the death. It is

1856
01:25:15,040 --> 01:25:18,080
Speaker 2: the Unfoja day. They're finished. You lose to a MAC team.

1857
01:25:18,400 --> 01:25:20,639
Speaker 2: Couple that with A they're not in the conference and

1858
01:25:20,760 --> 01:25:23,640
Speaker 2: B to have a soft schedule. They're finished. They're not

1859
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:25,559
Speaker 2: going to it. I don't care if they expand the

1860
01:25:25,560 --> 01:25:29,320
Speaker 2: playoffs the twelve teams. They're not going anywhere. This game

1861
01:25:29,680 --> 01:25:33,760
Speaker 2: yesterday put the dagger in their season. Sorry, you know,

1862
01:25:33,840 --> 01:25:36,080
Speaker 2: sorry Foranja Day fans. That's just the way it is,

1863
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,960
Speaker 2: and they deserve to be kicked a little bit because

1864
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,599
Speaker 2: you don't lose to a MAC team. You just don't

1865
01:25:41,600 --> 01:25:43,920
Speaker 2: do it. You give them one point five million. Why

1866
01:25:44,120 --> 01:25:46,800
Speaker 2: you're buying yourself a win and I couldn't buy the win.

1867
01:25:47,720 --> 01:25:49,719
Speaker 2: Sixteen fourteen final, Go ahead, Bucky.

1868
01:25:50,360 --> 01:25:52,720
Speaker 4: It's a disappointing day for sure. But here's what we

1869
01:25:52,800 --> 01:25:56,800
Speaker 4: do now. The College Football Playoff is more than just

1870
01:25:56,920 --> 01:26:00,320
Speaker 4: a football tournament. It is a TV show man, and

1871
01:26:00,360 --> 01:26:02,840
Speaker 4: I know that the brand is big. It's the same

1872
01:26:02,880 --> 01:26:05,479
Speaker 4: reason why we typically lead every TV show with the

1873
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:08,880
Speaker 4: Dallas Cowboys. Notre Dame is in the same vein. So

1874
01:26:08,960 --> 01:26:11,559
Speaker 4: if it's close, the tie is going to the fight

1875
01:26:11,600 --> 01:26:13,760
Speaker 4: in Irish and so that's why I refuse to say

1876
01:26:13,760 --> 01:26:16,920
Speaker 4: that they won't be in. If they win and do

1877
01:26:17,000 --> 01:26:19,679
Speaker 4: what they're supposed to be including knocking off at se team.

1878
01:26:19,720 --> 01:26:21,800
Speaker 4: At the end of the year, they will absolutely be

1879
01:26:21,880 --> 01:26:24,120
Speaker 4: the twelfth team to get into the playoff because it's

1880
01:26:24,120 --> 01:26:24,559
Speaker 4: Notre Dame.

1881
01:26:24,600 --> 01:26:27,519
Speaker 5: Well that's as we said. Yeah, Well, as we sit

1882
01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:29,920
Speaker 5: with the schedule, they still have four more ranked teams

1883
01:26:29,960 --> 01:26:33,280
Speaker 5: on the slate. Remember Florida State's no longer a rank

1884
01:26:33,320 --> 01:26:38,840
Speaker 5: squad for that November date. But usc impressive win and

1885
01:26:39,439 --> 01:26:42,800
Speaker 5: we take from it what we can. Right, you beat

1886
01:26:42,840 --> 01:26:44,680
Speaker 5: who's in front of you and if you can get

1887
01:26:44,720 --> 01:26:46,840
Speaker 5: some style points by running up. Do you guys realize

1888
01:26:46,840 --> 01:26:48,960
Speaker 5: that was their first shoutout to twenty eleven.

1889
01:26:50,160 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 2: Look, I'm gonna say one thing. I'll say it right now.

1890
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:54,360
Speaker 2: You could say all you want, and you're right. You

1891
01:26:54,600 --> 01:26:57,320
Speaker 2: missed a positivity and I'm the devil. I know I am.

1892
01:26:57,479 --> 01:26:59,240
Speaker 2: But as long as you got Riley Leonard on the

1893
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,960
Speaker 2: center winning, they're not gonna win with that guy. He

1894
01:27:02,040 --> 01:27:04,040
Speaker 2: had problems last week at A and M and he

1895
01:27:04,160 --> 01:27:07,560
Speaker 2: was terrible yesterday. Riley Leonard will not take note you

1896
01:27:07,680 --> 01:27:10,480
Speaker 2: day into the playoffs. I'm Sorry.

1897
01:27:11,120 --> 01:27:16,040
Speaker 4: Look, hey, I'm not disputing that Riley Leonard is Joe Montana,

1898
01:27:16,479 --> 01:27:19,320
Speaker 4: you know. I'm just saying that they are a brand

1899
01:27:19,360 --> 01:27:21,439
Speaker 4: that if they finished with a nine to two record

1900
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:25,200
Speaker 4: ten and two, they gonna find their way into the thing.

1901
01:27:25,280 --> 01:27:27,160
Speaker 4: So I'm saying they have another loss that they can

1902
01:27:27,240 --> 01:27:29,519
Speaker 4: have and still get into the mix. They're talking about

1903
01:27:29,520 --> 01:27:32,559
Speaker 4: teams having potentially three losses getting into the thing, So

1904
01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,360
Speaker 4: I can absolutely see a path for Notre Dame to

1905
01:27:35,360 --> 01:27:38,720
Speaker 4: get there. And look, I'll never fight for Riley rd.

1906
01:27:38,800 --> 01:27:42,639
Speaker 4: Leonard is a duchie, so he started and so he's

1907
01:27:42,680 --> 01:27:44,680
Speaker 4: always he's always a due guy, so I don't have

1908
01:27:44,720 --> 01:27:47,240
Speaker 4: any issue with him. But yeah, I just think they

1909
01:27:47,240 --> 01:27:50,120
Speaker 4: can sneak in. There's enough softness in their schedule where

1910
01:27:50,120 --> 01:27:52,200
Speaker 4: they can reel off wins that will look at me

1911
01:27:52,200 --> 01:27:54,840
Speaker 4: and like, hey, Notre Dame is nine and one. You know,

1912
01:27:54,920 --> 01:27:56,840
Speaker 4: here comes to Irish. That's what we do.

1913
01:27:57,080 --> 01:27:58,600
Speaker 2: Yes, I hear what you say, And you know what,

1914
01:27:58,720 --> 01:28:00,760
Speaker 2: you make a great point with the TV. Why Why

1915
01:28:00,760 --> 01:28:03,080
Speaker 2: do I say that? Because last night Colorado was on

1916
01:28:03,080 --> 01:28:07,960
Speaker 2: against Nebraska, two unranked teams, but the TV interest with

1917
01:28:08,160 --> 01:28:11,160
Speaker 2: Dion and Colorado puts them on prime time on Saturday

1918
01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:12,040
Speaker 2: night a national team.

1919
01:28:12,200 --> 01:28:13,880
Speaker 5: I will tell you this, I saw a sign in

1920
01:28:13,920 --> 01:28:16,400
Speaker 5: the crowd that they went to a couple of times.

1921
01:28:17,080 --> 01:28:19,479
Speaker 5: They were my sleeper to make the playoffs. And you

1922
01:28:19,520 --> 01:28:22,840
Speaker 5: look at the corn Huskers. All of a sudden, there's

1923
01:28:22,880 --> 01:28:25,559
Speaker 5: some toughness back and Matt Rule has him going, and

1924
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:28,280
Speaker 5: Roola looks like a guy, you know, hang a star.

1925
01:28:28,320 --> 01:28:32,439
Speaker 5: I mean it's Colorado. We know there's thin offensive and

1926
01:28:32,479 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 5: defensive lines, and let's face it, attrition the targeting guy you

1927
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,120
Speaker 5: beat who's on the schedule, and you go and you

1928
01:28:39,200 --> 01:28:41,880
Speaker 5: do it so resoundingly, even if it only ends up

1929
01:28:41,880 --> 01:28:44,880
Speaker 5: twenty eight ten, that game played like a forty nine

1930
01:28:44,920 --> 01:28:45,679
Speaker 5: to ten game.

1931
01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:50,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, it felt like the old Nebraska teams when Nebraska

1932
01:28:50,439 --> 01:28:54,600
Speaker 4: would absolutely suffocate folks with their defense. And there's a

1933
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:57,720
Speaker 4: generation of people who don't even realize how good Nebraska was.

1934
01:28:58,560 --> 01:29:01,320
Speaker 4: This was a thirty year celebration of one of their

1935
01:29:01,400 --> 01:29:03,880
Speaker 4: championship teams that went back to back. Only more of

1936
01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,240
Speaker 4: that because a friend of mine was going. He went,

1937
01:29:06,760 --> 01:29:10,000
Speaker 4: and this generation of folks that don't remember Nebraska being

1938
01:29:10,080 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 4: really good, and so this is kind of bringing them back.

1939
01:29:14,080 --> 01:29:16,640
Speaker 4: Matt Ruler is playing to that and with that quarterback,

1940
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:21,639
Speaker 4: who I will say is Nebraska's version of Kobe, meaning

1941
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:25,519
Speaker 4: I've never seen someone steal somebody's style as closely as

1942
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:29,280
Speaker 4: Kobe stole Michael Jordan, as Dylan Reyola has stolen Pat

1943
01:29:29,320 --> 01:29:30,000
Speaker 4: Mahomes just.

1944
01:29:29,920 --> 01:29:33,160
Speaker 5: Went right, walks like him, like him.

1945
01:29:33,840 --> 01:29:37,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, he just like all of it, Like

1946
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:41,120
Speaker 4: he has all of those same traits, just like Kobe

1947
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 4: did with Jordan. The mennerisms have become his own, and

1948
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:45,799
Speaker 4: so it's interesting to see. But he's a good player

1949
01:29:45,800 --> 01:29:47,920
Speaker 4: and they've been able to do it without him having

1950
01:29:47,960 --> 01:29:51,840
Speaker 4: to kind of be the lead horse, dangerous squad. You're right,

1951
01:29:51,960 --> 01:29:54,639
Speaker 4: Nebraska dangerous. Yeah.

1952
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:56,639
Speaker 5: I want to be curious to see if they can

1953
01:29:56,840 --> 01:29:59,400
Speaker 5: live up to the the billboard a little signage that

1954
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:02,599
Speaker 5: one woman was carrying saying, so this is the Huskers

1955
01:30:02,640 --> 01:30:07,960
Speaker 5: team my dad kept telling me about. Yeah, yeah, I

1956
01:30:07,960 --> 01:30:10,040
Speaker 5: mean I must have seen that signed out there three

1957
01:30:10,160 --> 01:30:12,080
Speaker 5: four times over the course of the games, like a yeah,

1958
01:30:12,160 --> 01:30:14,720
Speaker 5: let's circle back to them, because it's shades of what

1959
01:30:14,800 --> 01:30:18,800
Speaker 5: we had. Obviously, the order of the day is the

1960
01:30:18,880 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 5: National Football League, Gentlemen. We'll get into some of the

1961
01:30:21,240 --> 01:30:25,559
Speaker 5: games in earnest as we flow, but big takeaways out

1962
01:30:25,560 --> 01:30:27,680
Speaker 5: of the first two. I mean, we have to look

1963
01:30:27,720 --> 01:30:30,960
Speaker 5: squarely at Green Bay and what happens now Jordan Love,

1964
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:33,760
Speaker 5: a couple of weeks on the shelf, seems to have

1965
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:39,120
Speaker 5: averted and avoided the catastrophic and to a season injury.

1966
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,559
Speaker 5: But you know, we're on air as it happened, and

1967
01:30:41,600 --> 01:30:44,000
Speaker 5: you see the slow mode. We have no audio with us,

1968
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:46,439
Speaker 5: and we're like, oh, there goes the knee right there,

1969
01:30:46,479 --> 01:30:49,240
Speaker 5: it goes to the side. And I started immediately thinking

1970
01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:52,720
Speaker 5: of why Jordan Love was drafted when he was. And

1971
01:30:52,760 --> 01:30:55,120
Speaker 5: I've argued this for years, and I think I've been

1972
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:57,599
Speaker 5: on an island by myself. Is remember the year, Brett,

1973
01:30:58,680 --> 01:31:01,599
Speaker 5: I'm taking too far back in the way back machine,

1974
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:04,360
Speaker 5: when Rogers got hurt and was lost for the year.

1975
01:31:04,439 --> 01:31:06,280
Speaker 5: They had a really good roster, they got out to

1976
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:08,920
Speaker 5: a great start and then sorry, Brent Hunley, you get

1977
01:31:08,920 --> 01:31:11,280
Speaker 5: thrown under the bus here. He had to be the

1978
01:31:11,320 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 5: guy to try to carry it, and it went off

1979
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:16,120
Speaker 5: the rails quickly, and what looked like a promising year

1980
01:31:16,200 --> 01:31:19,400
Speaker 5: with a great looking squad went off the rails. Now

1981
01:31:19,439 --> 01:31:22,000
Speaker 5: we look at Malik Willis and Sean Clifford and I

1982
01:31:22,920 --> 01:31:24,960
Speaker 5: look I don't want to be too negative here again

1983
01:31:25,040 --> 01:31:29,559
Speaker 5: Sunday positivity. But Malik Willis had one job throw a

1984
01:31:29,640 --> 01:31:35,320
Speaker 5: hail Mary and he took a sack. So Bucky, what

1985
01:31:35,400 --> 01:31:35,840
Speaker 5: did they do?

1986
01:31:37,760 --> 01:31:40,320
Speaker 4: I mean they're in trouble certainly. I mean because so

1987
01:31:40,400 --> 01:31:45,160
Speaker 4: much was built up around like Jordan Love and Malik Willis,

1988
01:31:45,479 --> 01:31:48,360
Speaker 4: which isn't fair to him. Malik Willis beasts out Sean

1989
01:31:48,400 --> 01:31:51,840
Speaker 4: Clifford for the last spot at quarterback, and he's been

1990
01:31:51,880 --> 01:31:55,160
Speaker 4: there a week, so you now have to get him

1991
01:31:55,200 --> 01:31:57,439
Speaker 4: ready to do it. I will say this, they're saving grace.

1992
01:31:58,160 --> 01:32:00,600
Speaker 4: They invested in the running game. Josh Acob's coming on.

1993
01:32:00,680 --> 01:32:02,679
Speaker 4: I look like they discovered a backup kid who really

1994
01:32:02,720 --> 01:32:05,519
Speaker 4: gave them some juice. They have a really good offensive line,

1995
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:07,880
Speaker 4: and they got enough Playmak because that can do some

1996
01:32:07,960 --> 01:32:10,719
Speaker 4: things on the perimeter. They can win with the running

1997
01:32:10,720 --> 01:32:14,840
Speaker 4: game defensively. I'm glad Jerry Alexander showed up after kind

1998
01:32:14,840 --> 01:32:16,879
Speaker 4: of being a wall for like a year and some change.

1999
01:32:17,040 --> 01:32:19,040
Speaker 4: He now is back and looks like he's playing at

2000
01:32:19,080 --> 01:32:21,719
Speaker 4: a high level. So it may be a different style.

2001
01:32:21,800 --> 01:32:24,840
Speaker 4: They may want to go into the vault in the

2002
01:32:24,880 --> 01:32:26,559
Speaker 4: Packers Hall of Fame and see if they can pull

2003
01:32:26,680 --> 01:32:29,240
Speaker 4: Vince Lombardi's old playbook out, see if they can run

2004
01:32:29,240 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 4: the football a little bit. But they still should be good.

2005
01:32:31,560 --> 01:32:33,880
Speaker 4: This is a really good roster. They should be able

2006
01:32:33,920 --> 01:32:35,920
Speaker 4: to weather the storm for a few weeks until Jordan

2007
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:36,639
Speaker 4: Love comes back.

2008
01:32:37,200 --> 01:32:39,360
Speaker 2: You know, I'm going to say something right now. If

2009
01:32:39,400 --> 01:32:42,160
Speaker 2: I'm a green Bay Packer fan, I'm not worried. I'm

2010
01:32:42,200 --> 01:32:45,160
Speaker 2: fairly confident. I'll tell you why, because I don't think

2011
01:32:45,479 --> 01:32:48,840
Speaker 2: Green Bay lost that game for any other reason than

2012
01:32:48,880 --> 01:32:50,920
Speaker 2: because of Jordan Love. Let me tell you why. The

2013
01:32:51,040 --> 01:32:53,800
Speaker 2: average almost seven yards of play. They had four hundred

2014
01:32:53,760 --> 01:32:57,679
Speaker 2: and fourteen yards of offense. Okay, but thanks to Jordan Love,

2015
01:32:57,840 --> 01:32:59,639
Speaker 2: they only went one for four in the red zone.

2016
01:32:59,640 --> 01:33:02,240
Speaker 2: All right, Thanks to Jordan Love. He was four to

2017
01:33:02,360 --> 01:33:04,800
Speaker 2: nine for twenty four yards in the red zone with

2018
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:07,200
Speaker 2: only one touchdown. He missed a couple of throws that

2019
01:33:07,240 --> 01:33:09,799
Speaker 2: cost the Packers points. The Packers are three of eleven

2020
01:33:09,800 --> 01:33:12,160
Speaker 2: on third down. This is all Jordan Love. If they

2021
01:33:12,240 --> 01:33:15,519
Speaker 2: got a quarterback and could just function without making mistakes,

2022
01:33:15,560 --> 01:33:17,840
Speaker 2: give the ball, run the ball, run out the clock.

2023
01:33:17,960 --> 01:33:20,599
Speaker 2: They got a running game right now. Fortune fourteen yards

2024
01:33:20,600 --> 01:33:22,840
Speaker 2: of offense and I lose they had no points there.

2025
01:33:22,920 --> 01:33:26,679
Speaker 2: It's ridiculous. I like Sean Clifford kid went to Penn State,

2026
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:29,160
Speaker 2: he went to Saint Xavier High School in Cincinnati. I

2027
01:33:29,320 --> 01:33:31,639
Speaker 2: want to see Shan Clifford play, but I think Sean

2028
01:33:31,680 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 2: Clifford won't make the turnoffs. Just be a quarterback that

2029
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:36,280
Speaker 2: could hand the ball off and do what you gotta

2030
01:33:36,320 --> 01:33:38,680
Speaker 2: do and they'll be fine. Jordan Love right now was

2031
01:33:38,680 --> 01:33:40,680
Speaker 2: not the Jordan Love we saw the last half of

2032
01:33:40,800 --> 01:33:41,360
Speaker 2: last season.

2033
01:33:41,920 --> 01:33:45,280
Speaker 5: Wow six to favorite for MVP jumping into the year,

2034
01:33:45,360 --> 01:33:49,240
Speaker 5: fellas at fourteen to one, and Andy buried him because

2035
01:33:49,240 --> 01:33:50,880
Speaker 5: he wanted to get the Cincinnati kid in.

2036
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:52,400
Speaker 2: He wants to yes, Sean Clifford.

2037
01:33:52,400 --> 01:33:54,720
Speaker 4: He wants he wants to get the local hero in

2038
01:33:54,920 --> 01:33:57,200
Speaker 4: the Penn State legend, Sean Clifford.

2039
01:33:57,560 --> 01:34:00,639
Speaker 2: I'll have the last laugh.

2040
01:34:00,680 --> 01:34:02,559
Speaker 5: I dig that. I mean, I would point out though

2041
01:34:02,600 --> 01:34:06,200
Speaker 5: that Josh Jacobs was absolutely invisible in the first half

2042
01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:09,360
Speaker 5: plus and had a couple of big runs. Look, they

2043
01:34:09,400 --> 01:34:11,960
Speaker 5: all count just the same in the box score for

2044
01:34:12,080 --> 01:34:15,240
Speaker 5: his sixteen and eighty plus, but the run game didn't

2045
01:34:15,280 --> 01:34:18,400
Speaker 5: exactly get going to give them much benefit at all.

2046
01:34:18,479 --> 01:34:20,960
Speaker 5: I mean it was better than Colorado's, but that ain't

2047
01:34:20,960 --> 01:34:21,439
Speaker 5: saying much.

2048
01:34:22,320 --> 01:34:23,360
Speaker 4: No, that's not saying much.

2049
01:34:23,400 --> 01:34:26,080
Speaker 5: It all all right, let me still go back to

2050
01:34:26,120 --> 01:34:28,360
Speaker 5: that real quick, the two minute drill for both of

2051
01:34:28,400 --> 01:34:31,040
Speaker 5: you guys. Shader Sanders heading back to the locker room

2052
01:34:31,040 --> 01:34:34,680
Speaker 5: with two minutes plus left on the clock. What say you,

2053
01:34:34,800 --> 01:34:36,479
Speaker 5: Andy Furman, Well.

2054
01:34:36,320 --> 01:34:37,679
Speaker 2: What are you gonna do? I mean, he probably couldn't

2055
01:34:37,680 --> 01:34:39,519
Speaker 2: even walk. I mean it was sacks seven times? What

2056
01:34:39,560 --> 01:34:42,640
Speaker 2: do you want? I mean, really it was. It was

2057
01:34:42,720 --> 01:34:46,160
Speaker 2: a sad situation watching them play. You watched when they

2058
01:34:46,160 --> 01:34:49,519
Speaker 2: had the camera on Digona the sidelines. I felt sorry

2059
01:34:49,520 --> 01:34:51,880
Speaker 2: for the guy, I really did. I mean it was

2060
01:34:51,920 --> 01:34:54,960
Speaker 2: like a bullfight with the arena that ninety thousand people

2061
01:34:55,240 --> 01:34:58,080
Speaker 2: looking for blood, and they got their blood last night.

2062
01:34:58,360 --> 01:35:00,400
Speaker 2: They'll Colorado will be fun. They'll be back.

2063
01:35:00,600 --> 01:35:00,760
Speaker 4: You know.

2064
01:35:00,960 --> 01:35:03,640
Speaker 2: You see Travis Hunter on the sidelines yelling of his teammates,

2065
01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 2: the passion that he had. You know, it happens. You know,

2066
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:10,439
Speaker 2: they had a down flat of bad games. Nebraska came

2067
01:35:10,560 --> 01:35:13,280
Speaker 2: to play, and yes they look like the Nebraska ball

2068
01:35:13,320 --> 01:35:15,439
Speaker 2: Will they continue? I don't know. Matt Rule has done

2069
01:35:15,439 --> 01:35:17,639
Speaker 2: a great job rebuilding that ball club, so we'll see

2070
01:35:17,640 --> 01:35:19,799
Speaker 2: what happens. You know, one game doesn't make a season.

2071
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:20,320
Speaker 2: I know that.

2072
01:35:20,400 --> 01:35:25,080
Speaker 4: Oh, okay, athadet, No, I'm finished to make sure I'm

2073
01:35:25,080 --> 01:35:26,760
Speaker 4: a thing on saying this guy I'd like to see

2074
01:35:26,800 --> 01:35:28,800
Speaker 4: him in a post season game. No, I make sure

2075
01:35:29,080 --> 01:35:30,880
Speaker 4: I would say this, like, because they're a bit of

2076
01:35:30,920 --> 01:35:35,320
Speaker 4: a rock band. I can see getting Shader Sanders off

2077
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 4: the field, particularly if you felt or since then Nebraska

2078
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,800
Speaker 4: is about to rush to field. He is a polarizing

2079
01:35:40,920 --> 01:35:42,960
Speaker 4: player just because of some of the antics and some

2080
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:46,240
Speaker 4: of the bravado and swagging kakiness. Yeah, if you know

2081
01:35:46,280 --> 01:35:48,639
Speaker 4: he's already hurt, he may be dealing with a concussion.

2082
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:50,920
Speaker 4: The last thing you want him is jostled around in

2083
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:54,880
Speaker 4: a crowd. Walk off, get him out of there, get forward,

2084
01:35:55,000 --> 01:35:55,920
Speaker 4: go to next week or.

2085
01:35:55,880 --> 01:35:59,920
Speaker 5: Whatever, see the next week, next game. Hopefully they respond,

2086
01:36:00,080 --> 01:36:01,720
Speaker 5: it was one of the best shows we had last

2087
01:36:01,760 --> 01:36:05,520
Speaker 5: September thus far. It's one that a lot of handwringing,

2088
01:36:05,560 --> 01:36:08,639
Speaker 5: and certainly the Wolves are at the door for Dion

2089
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:10,120
Speaker 5: and that program because I mean, you.

2090
01:36:10,080 --> 01:36:13,400
Speaker 2: Remember, excuse me through but remember last year Dion really

2091
01:36:13,479 --> 01:36:15,720
Speaker 2: caused a stink in this ball and when they played

2092
01:36:15,720 --> 01:36:18,160
Speaker 2: in Nebraska. He says, this game means something he wanted

2093
01:36:18,200 --> 01:36:20,840
Speaker 2: to get him. He was rather quiet this year, and

2094
01:36:20,880 --> 01:36:23,679
Speaker 2: I think Nebraska used that motivation from a year ago

2095
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:26,599
Speaker 2: to kind of feed off that, and they did last night.

2096
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 5: Well after their Week one escape. I don't know how

2097
01:36:29,560 --> 01:36:33,000
Speaker 5: much you wanted to talk this one up, right, You're

2098
01:36:33,080 --> 01:36:36,679
Speaker 5: right right. Let the play do the talking if it did,

2099
01:36:37,439 --> 01:36:41,800
Speaker 5: and it didn't, so you know, just let sleeping dogs lie, right,

2100
01:36:42,880 --> 01:36:45,320
Speaker 5: or at least that's that would be my estimation of

2101
01:36:45,360 --> 01:36:47,559
Speaker 5: what they did for this week. But more of that

2102
01:36:47,600 --> 01:36:49,840
Speaker 5: to come, and we got a full sleight of NFL

2103

Speaker 5: a huge slate today, a number of rookies making big debuts.

2141
01:38:40,800 --> 01:38:45,439
Speaker 5: And I'm wearing a Gail Sayers jersey in the studio today.

2142
01:38:45,439 --> 01:38:48,040
Speaker 5: And I've got a mini shrine to bearsdom that I

2143
01:38:48,080 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 5: put out on Twitter at Swollen Dome with a Buckis

2144
01:38:52,560 --> 01:38:56,360
Speaker 5: Maestro of Mayhem comic book kind of cover thing going

2145
01:38:56,400 --> 01:38:59,960
Speaker 5: on in the ever present Ditka bobblehead that follows me

2146
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,839
Speaker 5: wherever I go because Caleb Williams has been tabbed the Savior.

2147
01:39:03,880 --> 01:39:05,720
Speaker 5: I don't know if you guys missed that storyline of

2148
01:39:05,760 --> 01:39:06,640
Speaker 5: the offseason or not.

2149
01:39:08,360 --> 01:39:11,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he is the savior.

2150
01:39:11,479 --> 01:39:14,400
Speaker 5: Yeah well yeah, although you know, as we talked about

2151
01:39:14,400 --> 01:39:16,600
Speaker 5: a little bit Bucky and Andy, this is one that

2152
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:20,080
Speaker 5: I think you'll enjoy the power of perception and narrative.

2153
01:39:20,840 --> 01:39:24,000
Speaker 5: We're waiting to see whether Russell Wilson gets to be

2154
01:39:24,120 --> 01:39:26,880
Speaker 5: cleared to play later today, right He and former Bears

2155
01:39:26,920 --> 01:39:30,000
Speaker 5: quarterback Justin Fields. These Steelers and the Bears have the

2156
01:39:30,040 --> 01:39:33,200
Speaker 5: same over under for wins on the season from the

2157
01:39:33,240 --> 01:39:36,479
Speaker 5: betting odds at eight and a half. Wouldn't know that

2158
01:39:36,520 --> 01:39:40,639
Speaker 5: from the narratives being thrown about this preseason, but that's

2159
01:39:40,680 --> 01:39:44,280
Speaker 5: why they play the games. As we get rolling too

2160
01:39:44,560 --> 01:39:47,320
Speaker 5: in the books, both go to the over Kansas City

2161
01:39:47,360 --> 01:39:53,320
Speaker 5: with the fun and exciting win over Lamar Jackson likely

2162
01:39:53,439 --> 01:39:56,080
Speaker 5: in company. And then obviously we talked about Philly and

2163
01:39:56,120 --> 01:39:58,400
Speaker 5: Green Bay a little bit before. So why don't we

2164
01:39:58,439 --> 01:40:00,799
Speaker 5: get back into the slate, grab a couple of games

2165
01:40:00,840 --> 01:40:02,439
Speaker 5: and see what we can pull off.

2166
01:40:02,960 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys said, bro oh, there, we go.

2167
01:40:04,960 --> 01:40:08,880
Speaker 5: Right to it. The debut of Tom Brady in the booth.

2168
01:40:09,479 --> 01:40:11,000
Speaker 5: Can't wait to see what he's got to say it

2169
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 5: because well, Dak Prescott still making the rounds doing interviews

2170
01:40:14,400 --> 01:40:17,000
Speaker 5: talking about his contract. It's not a big deal. Every

2171
01:40:17,040 --> 01:40:19,280
Speaker 5: time you sit down and say it's not a big deal,

2172
01:40:20,280 --> 01:40:23,639
Speaker 5: I don't believe you. Jerry Jones becoming more terse along

2173
01:40:23,680 --> 01:40:27,360
Speaker 5: the way for Cleveland. You've got the question to Shaun Watson,

2174
01:40:28,560 --> 01:40:33,479
Speaker 5: the injuries, the history, the inn well, the inability to

2175
01:40:33,520 --> 01:40:35,720
Speaker 5: stay on the field of late and now dealing with

2176
01:40:35,760 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 5: some personal issues the death of his father. So best

2177
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:41,040
Speaker 5: to he and his family as they deal with that.

2178
01:40:41,160 --> 01:40:44,840
Speaker 5: But on the eve of the opener here, Cleveland first

2179
01:40:44,880 --> 01:40:47,160
Speaker 5: in yards allowed a year to year ago, just giving

2180
01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:49,360
Speaker 5: up two hundred and seventy a game, a fewer than

2181
01:40:49,400 --> 01:40:52,639
Speaker 5: one hundred and sixty five passing yards per game. Schwartz

2182
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:55,559
Speaker 5: and that defense getting after it for the Cowboys. A

2183
01:40:55,560 --> 01:40:57,639
Speaker 5: lot of it comes down to, all right, ced got

2184
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,559
Speaker 5: his money, Micah still wants his money, Dak needs his money.

2185
01:41:00,680 --> 01:41:02,840
Speaker 5: I want to know a who's running the football and

2186
01:41:02,920 --> 01:41:05,680
Speaker 5: beyond Cede Lamb, who's gonna catch it. Those are my

2187
01:41:05,760 --> 01:41:07,960
Speaker 5: concerns as we get to this one. Cleveland two and

2188
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:12,000
Speaker 5: a half point favorite, forty one, very low total in

2189
01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:14,639
Speaker 5: this one in a big game on Fox. Andy Furman,

2190
01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:16,080
Speaker 5: what do you think.

2191
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:18,080
Speaker 2: We're gonna see something today that's going to quiet a

2192
01:41:18,080 --> 01:41:19,920
Speaker 2: lot of people because everybody says, well, you know, they

2193
01:41:19,960 --> 01:41:22,200
Speaker 2: didn't play in the offseason, they had a contract situation,

2194
01:41:22,600 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 2: both officers are both teams. They're gonna come out of

2195
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:27,559
Speaker 2: the gates slowly, they think, because Cede Lamb miss most

2196
01:41:27,560 --> 01:41:30,120
Speaker 2: of the summer and de Saon Watson basically didn't throw

2197
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:32,320
Speaker 2: a pass, it won't make a difference, okay, and won't

2198
01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:33,960
Speaker 2: make a differentiator. The Browns are going to come out

2199
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:37,160
Speaker 2: come out strong, although I can question the Nick Chubb

2200
01:41:37,280 --> 01:41:40,400
Speaker 2: again still out with that knee injury. Jerome Ford's gonna

2201
01:41:40,400 --> 01:41:41,960
Speaker 2: be in the backfield. I don't think there's gonna be

2202
01:41:41,960 --> 01:41:44,960
Speaker 2: a problem because you know they got they got the

2203
01:41:46,280 --> 01:41:49,840
Speaker 2: talent and the personnel to beat the Dallas Cowboys, and

2204
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:52,680
Speaker 2: they will beat the Dallas Cowboys today. I'm with you

2205
01:41:52,760 --> 01:41:54,960
Speaker 2: as far as the forty one over under. I think

2206
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:57,800
Speaker 2: the Cowboys will will lose this game by a field goal,

2207
01:41:57,800 --> 01:42:01,080
Speaker 2: but it'll be about thirty seven total point total.

2208
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,559
Speaker 5: There you go. Darron Bland though also out of that

2209
01:42:03,680 --> 01:42:05,120
Speaker 5: secondary for Dallas.

2210
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:10,600
Speaker 4: Bucky Yeah, no, Dron Bland out. The Cowboys have a

2211
01:42:10,640 --> 01:42:12,920
Speaker 4: lot of missing pieces. Yes, Ceedee Lamb coming back, but

2212
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:15,960
Speaker 4: he's been away working out on his own. I worry

2213
01:42:15,960 --> 01:42:18,519
Speaker 4: about this defense without dan Quinn. Mike Zimmer comes over,

2214
01:42:18,640 --> 01:42:22,519
Speaker 4: Little frothy, little Salty's get more out of Michael Parsons.

2215
01:42:22,560 --> 01:42:25,120
Speaker 4: I don't know if he has enough firepower to do

2216
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:26,360
Speaker 4: some of the stuff he's done. So I'm gonna go

2217
01:42:26,400 --> 01:42:29,639
Speaker 4: with Cleveland as my sleep. I think Cleveland wins.

2218
01:42:29,680 --> 01:42:31,559
Speaker 5: But three just remember the last time we saw this

2219
01:42:31,680 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 5: Dallas defensive squad, they got run over by the Green

2220
01:42:36,200 --> 01:42:36,919
Speaker 5: Bay Packers.

2221
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 2: Next, Jaguars at to f.

2222
01:42:39,439 --> 01:42:41,280
Speaker 5: There we go, we gotta go close to it to

2223
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:43,759
Speaker 5: Bucky's hard here Miami three and a half point favorites

2224
01:42:43,800 --> 01:42:46,920
Speaker 5: at home forty nine and a half the total eight

2225
01:42:46,960 --> 01:42:49,640
Speaker 5: and three start last year, we know what happened. It

2226
01:42:49,680 --> 01:42:52,639
Speaker 5: got overshadowed by well, the disaster of the second half

2227
01:42:52,680 --> 01:42:55,080
Speaker 5: of what went on in Philadelphia. A little bit of

2228
01:42:55,120 --> 01:42:58,479
Speaker 5: help there for those that like to hear people wax

2229
01:42:58,600 --> 01:43:01,360
Speaker 5: loquaciously and give you a big highlights. Kevin Harlan on

2230
01:43:01,439 --> 01:43:03,920
Speaker 5: the call for this one, because well, you know, that's

2231
01:43:03,960 --> 01:43:06,000
Speaker 5: that's exciting and it's gonna feel like one hundred and

2232
01:43:06,000 --> 01:43:09,240
Speaker 5: two degrees at last report as I saw, you know,

2233
01:43:09,240 --> 01:43:11,600
Speaker 5: because you start getting into NFL weather because I'm a

2234
01:43:11,640 --> 01:43:14,599
Speaker 5: nerd that way as I get older. Offense for days

2235
01:43:14,640 --> 01:43:19,559
Speaker 5: for Miami. But questions defensively, Jalen Ramsey with the hamstring injury,

2236
01:43:19,600 --> 01:43:21,840
Speaker 5: looks like he's gonna give it the old college try.

2237
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:26,519
Speaker 5: But can the Miami offensive line hold back that Jags

2238
01:43:26,600 --> 01:43:28,439
Speaker 5: pass rush Bucky Man?

2239
01:43:28,520 --> 01:43:30,320
Speaker 4: So this is gonna be tough. So when you think

2240
01:43:30,320 --> 01:43:32,879
Speaker 4: about that that that passwords, you talk about the Jags

2241
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:34,599
Speaker 4: and having to deal with all the speed that they

2242
01:43:34,600 --> 01:43:40,000
Speaker 4: have on the perimeter is it's not a great matchups.

2243
01:43:40,080 --> 01:43:43,160
Speaker 4: This great matchup and so you hold that hains Allen,

2244
01:43:43,200 --> 01:43:45,599
Speaker 4: Tradmon Walker can get to the quarterback. But if twas

2245
01:43:45,640 --> 01:43:48,839
Speaker 4: Dylan on time, it's gonna be problematic. Right now without

2246
01:43:48,960 --> 01:43:50,800
Speaker 4: seeing them, man, it's hard for me to say that

2247
01:43:50,880 --> 01:43:52,559
Speaker 4: JAG's gonna be able to slow them down. I think

2248
01:43:52,600 --> 01:43:54,640
Speaker 4: this becomes a shootout though, and it have to be

2249
01:43:54,640 --> 01:43:56,880
Speaker 4: one where you gotta get a Rena ball stop and

2250
01:43:56,920 --> 01:43:58,519
Speaker 4: maybe the Jazz can win in the end. But going

2251
01:43:58,560 --> 01:43:59,559
Speaker 4: into it, you gotta say the.

2252
01:43:59,479 --> 01:44:01,679
Speaker 5: Dolphins nine and a half is the total. Andy.

2253
01:44:02,200 --> 01:44:05,160
Speaker 2: I'm glad you met your Trevon Walker and Heinz Allen

2254
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:07,760
Speaker 2: because those guys combined fight twenty seven and a half

2255
01:44:07,800 --> 01:44:11,000
Speaker 2: combined socks last year. That's the good news for Jacksonville. Butey,

2256
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:13,200
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you right now, no, biggie, because two

2257
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:15,240
Speaker 2: against the bull out quick. He does get the ball

2258
01:44:15,320 --> 01:44:16,560
Speaker 2: up quick, and it's going to be a track me

2259
01:44:16,680 --> 01:44:19,760
Speaker 2: today because you got Tyreek Hill and Jalen Waddle. If

2260
01:44:19,800 --> 01:44:22,080
Speaker 2: those guys get hot, they got hot early. Forget it.

2261
01:44:22,120 --> 01:44:23,880
Speaker 2: Good night, good night, Irene.

2262
01:44:23,960 --> 01:44:26,679
Speaker 5: Dolphins run away with this one got their three headed

2263
01:44:26,720 --> 01:44:27,839
Speaker 5: backfield as well.

2264
01:44:28,840 --> 01:44:31,080
Speaker 4: Run away. That's so disrespectful, Andy.

2265
01:44:31,320 --> 01:44:33,439
Speaker 2: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Well, I'll be listening to you

2266
01:44:33,479 --> 01:44:35,320
Speaker 2: on the sidelines. I'll be listening.

2267
01:44:35,000 --> 01:44:37,720
Speaker 5: Spreads three and a half. I guess I asked this

2268
01:44:37,840 --> 01:44:42,799
Speaker 5: for fantasy nerds and for just football officionados. Brian Thomas

2269
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:46,519
Speaker 5: high expectations. How's he holding up and getting ready for

2270
01:44:46,560 --> 01:44:46,920
Speaker 5: game one?

2271
01:44:46,960 --> 01:44:50,120
Speaker 4: Here? Well, he looks good. He should be a big

2272
01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:53,479
Speaker 4: contributor now from a fantasy standpoint, not a number one,

2273
01:44:53,520 --> 01:44:56,640
Speaker 4: but a nice item as a flex, someone that can

2274
01:44:56,680 --> 01:44:58,640
Speaker 4: score some touchdowns or whatever. But the better FLEs may

2275
01:44:58,640 --> 01:44:59,720
Speaker 4: be Gabe Davis.

2276
01:45:00,120 --> 01:45:03,719
Speaker 5: Coming over from Buffball. There you go, Gabe Davis. Christian Kirk,

2277
01:45:04,160 --> 01:45:06,759
Speaker 5: who we've talked about for fantasy purposes going on years.

2278
01:45:06,800 --> 01:45:09,720
Speaker 5: He's back and healthy. Remember the offense was humming when

2279
01:45:09,760 --> 01:45:12,840
Speaker 5: he was healthy and available to the Jaguars before he

2280
01:45:12,880 --> 01:45:14,880
Speaker 5: went down with injury. Let's get another game in before

2281
01:45:14,880 --> 01:45:18,000
Speaker 5: we talk to Kevin wire. Ram said, Lias, Oh, here

2282
01:45:18,040 --> 01:45:22,040
Speaker 5: we go, baby over under in this one, gentleman. Fifty

2283
01:45:22,320 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 5: two and a half. That's right, Detroit four and a

2284
01:45:25,840 --> 01:45:28,439
Speaker 5: half point favorites against the ram. A lot of injuries

2285
01:45:28,479 --> 01:45:33,600
Speaker 5: in that La Rams secondary Tomlinson, Williams Durant looks like

2286
01:45:33,640 --> 01:45:36,479
Speaker 5: he's gonna play, but he's banged up, and Tredavius White

2287
01:45:36,840 --> 01:45:38,880
Speaker 5: not sure what kind of snapcount you're gonna get from

2288
01:45:38,960 --> 01:45:41,559
Speaker 5: him or availability altogether there because he comes off the

2289
01:45:41,600 --> 01:45:45,120
Speaker 5: Achilles injury. We know the offense loaded for bear there

2290
01:45:45,200 --> 01:45:49,040
Speaker 5: for Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions. Ben Johnson getting

2291
01:45:49,080 --> 01:45:52,439
Speaker 5: ready to get after it once again. But I got

2292
01:45:52,439 --> 01:45:55,360
Speaker 5: a question, how about if the Rams have enough depth?

2293
01:45:55,400 --> 01:45:57,880
Speaker 5: Oh and that Aaron Donald guy, he's gonna be watching

2294
01:45:57,920 --> 01:46:01,680
Speaker 5: the game like us at home. Andy Furman, kick us off.

2295
01:46:01,720 --> 01:46:03,439
Speaker 2: You know, here's the deal. You know you got to

2296
01:46:03,560 --> 01:46:06,200
Speaker 2: back up left tackle. They're playing for LA. You got

2297
01:46:06,200 --> 01:46:09,160
Speaker 2: a potential maybe a second stringer right tackle. I feel

2298
01:46:09,240 --> 01:46:11,479
Speaker 2: for Matthew Stafford today because it could be a long

2299
01:46:11,560 --> 01:46:14,000
Speaker 2: day for him. So the big day today and he's

2300
01:46:14,000 --> 01:46:16,160
Speaker 2: probably chomping at the bit right now, is defensive end

2301
01:46:16,160 --> 01:46:19,000
Speaker 2: Aiden Hutchinson. He's gonna have a big day today for Detroit.

2302
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:21,680
Speaker 2: Detroit's gonna win. The game is in Detroit. Lions win

2303
01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:25,479
Speaker 2: this one by double digits, like that Het Strong.

2304
01:46:26,520 --> 01:46:31,679
Speaker 5: Sunday night football game is gonna run back He's gonna

2305
01:46:31,720 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 5: run for Detroit to LA after this.

2306
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:34,559
Speaker 2: That's how much he'll be running today.

2307
01:46:34,600 --> 01:46:34,840
Speaker 5: Wow.

2308
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:37,320
Speaker 4: Okay, I'm thinking that Andy's never really had to play

2309
01:46:37,400 --> 01:46:40,479
Speaker 4: some weird wager on the NFL game, because like double

2310
01:46:40,560 --> 01:46:43,000
Speaker 4: digits and sad, he's never had to go through the grind.

2311
01:46:43,160 --> 01:46:45,479
Speaker 5: You put his golden boot up on his desk. What

2312
01:46:45,520 --> 01:46:45,800
Speaker 5: do you do?

2313
01:46:46,320 --> 01:46:51,519
Speaker 4: I mean? I mean, wow, Look, I like the Lions

2314
01:46:51,520 --> 01:46:53,439
Speaker 4: in this one. I think the Lions win. They knock

2315
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:56,799
Speaker 4: off the Rams. Missing Aaron Donald is a huge loss,

2316
01:46:56,800 --> 01:46:58,880
Speaker 4: and it shows up because this passing game for the

2317
01:46:58,920 --> 01:47:00,720
Speaker 4: Lions and this off on the line is one of

2318
01:47:00,720 --> 01:47:03,280
Speaker 4: the best in football. Give me the Lions. I'm gonna

2319
01:47:03,280 --> 01:47:05,360
Speaker 4: say that they run away from it at the end,

2320
01:47:05,360 --> 01:47:06,800
Speaker 4: but I'm not quite ready to say that. It's a

2321
01:47:06,840 --> 01:47:07,519
Speaker 4: ten point.

2322
01:47:07,320 --> 01:47:10,600
Speaker 5: March cover the number. It's a touchdown game. But I like.

2323
01:47:12,160 --> 01:47:14,120
Speaker 2: But here's the deal. If they do, will you come

2324
01:47:14,160 --> 01:47:17,200
Speaker 2: back next week Bucky say I apologize you were right?

2325
01:47:17,479 --> 01:47:20,320
Speaker 4: Would you say that, I'll say that you're right, I'll

2326
01:47:20,360 --> 01:47:21,360
Speaker 4: say that you thank you.

2327
01:47:21,439 --> 01:47:23,920
Speaker 5: If there needs to be an apology, but I kind

2328
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:27,280
Speaker 5: of did. You're sorry for doubting.

2329
01:47:29,400 --> 01:47:31,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, we can't do that.

2330
01:47:31,439 --> 01:47:34,719
Speaker 5: Week two he can't give it up betterly, He's Andy Ferban,

2331
01:47:34,800 --> 01:47:37,200
Speaker 5: That's Bucky Brooks. I'm my carbon here from the tire

2332
01:47:37,280 --> 01:47:40,040
Speaker 5: Rack dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios. Now, let's get it.

2333
01:47:40,160 --> 01:47:42,400
Speaker 5: Update from Kevin Wired. Is everything going on in our

2334
01:47:42,400 --> 01:47:45,640
Speaker 5: sporting universe? Yeah, we got plenty of injury updates for

2335
01:47:45,840 --> 01:47:49,519
Speaker 5: today's Week one slate of NFL games. He and Rapaport

2336
01:47:49,520 --> 01:47:52,520
Speaker 5: about an hour ago, saying that the Steelers are expected

2337
01:47:52,560 --> 01:47:55,920
Speaker 5: to examine quarterback Russell Wilson this morning to check out

2338
01:47:55,920 --> 01:47:59,120
Speaker 5: his calf. However, as it stands right now, it is

2339
01:47:59,240 --> 01:48:02,240
Speaker 5: more likely it'll be just In Fields getting the nod

2340
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:06,120
Speaker 5: today for the Steelers against the Atlanta Falcons. And Rappaport

2341
01:48:06,160 --> 01:48:09,759
Speaker 5: with a few more updates overnight. Seahawks wide receiver Tyler

2342
01:48:09,880 --> 01:48:12,680
Speaker 5: Lockett listed as questionable with a thigh injury. He is

2343
01:48:12,760 --> 01:48:16,960
Speaker 5: expected to play today. Dolphins corner Jalen Ramsey he has

2344
01:48:17,000 --> 01:48:20,559
Speaker 5: a hamstring injury. He will attempt to play today, However,

2345
01:48:20,600 --> 01:48:23,040
Speaker 5: he is listed as questionable and he will not be

2346
01:48:23,120 --> 01:48:25,320
Speaker 5: at full strength. He's gonna give it a try, but

2347
01:48:25,400 --> 01:48:29,200
Speaker 5: he will be on a limited pitch count. Lions offensive

2348
01:48:29,240 --> 01:48:31,640
Speaker 5: tackle Dj Reader is attempting to come back from a

2349
01:48:31,720 --> 01:48:34,000
Speaker 5: quad injury, but he is not quite ready to return

2350
01:48:34,040 --> 01:48:37,920
Speaker 5: to play. Next week is considered a more realistic timeline.

2351
01:48:37,960 --> 01:48:40,920
Speaker 5: And for the Bears Keenan Allen Montes Sweat. Both are

2352
01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,840
Speaker 5: listed as questionable and both expected to be on the

2353
01:48:43,880 --> 01:48:49,880
Speaker 5: field today. For Chicago, Adam Schefter saying that Patriots running

2354
01:48:49,880 --> 01:48:53,680
Speaker 5: back Antonio Gibson he's listed as questionable because of a

2355
01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:57,559
Speaker 5: hip injury. He does plan to play today against the Bengals.

2356
01:48:57,560 --> 01:49:00,599
Speaker 5: In Schefter adding that the forty nine ers eyeing a

2357
01:49:00,640 --> 01:49:04,000
Speaker 5: full workload Monday for Trent Williams, and right here this

2358
01:49:04,040 --> 01:49:07,320
Speaker 5: is key for fantasy owners. A reduced snapcount for wide

2359
01:49:07,320 --> 01:49:13,040
Speaker 5: receiver Brandon i Yuke. Christian McCaffrey, though says he will

2360
01:49:13,080 --> 01:49:15,400
Speaker 5: play Monday. He's been dealing with a calf injury. He

2361
01:49:15,720 --> 01:49:20,719
Speaker 5: was limited in practice on Friday. And then the college ranks,

2362
01:49:20,720 --> 01:49:22,880
Speaker 5: we have the upset of the day in South Bend,

2363
01:49:22,960 --> 01:49:25,599
Speaker 5: Northern Illinois. A field goal in the final minute, then

2364
01:49:25,600 --> 01:49:28,240
Speaker 5: they blocked the Irishes go ahead field goal attempt, his

2365
01:49:28,280 --> 01:49:31,759
Speaker 5: time expired to hang on for the sixteen to fourteen victory.

2366
01:49:31,800 --> 01:49:34,680
Speaker 5: Top ten matchup an Arbor, third ranked Texas takes down

2367
01:49:34,760 --> 01:49:38,200
Speaker 5: number ten Michigan thirty one to twelve. Number seven Oregon,

2368
01:49:38,240 --> 01:49:41,160
Speaker 5: the second week in a row. They struggled against a

2369
01:49:41,240 --> 01:49:43,960
Speaker 5: team they were favored against, but last second field goal

2370
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,880
Speaker 5: lifts them over Boise State thirty seven to thirty four.

2371
01:49:47,000 --> 01:49:48,920
Speaker 5: Number eight Penn State had to come back, but they

2372
01:49:48,920 --> 01:49:51,400
Speaker 5: do beat Bowling Green thirty four to twenty seven. Back

2373
01:49:51,400 --> 01:49:54,160
Speaker 5: to you guys, thanks so much, Kevin, appreciate you. Kevin

2374
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:57,320
Speaker 5: Wirt at the news desk. We got Brianna making us

2375
01:49:57,360 --> 01:50:00,679
Speaker 5: sound so pretty alongside with Mark on the board there.

2376
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:03,320
Speaker 5: We appreciate y'all being part of our extended family. Here

2377
01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:06,360
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio Mike Carmen alongside Andy Ferman, Bucky Brooks.

2378
01:50:06,439 --> 01:50:08,759
Speaker 2: Let's got one more game in Texan, said Colts.

2379
01:50:08,800 --> 01:50:12,400
Speaker 5: Oh, there we go in the little AFC South Battle. CJ.

2380
01:50:12,520 --> 01:50:15,599
Speaker 5: Stroud and company jumped up and bit people a year

2381
01:50:15,800 --> 01:50:19,240
Speaker 5: year ago, lying in the weeds, not so much now

2382
01:50:19,280 --> 01:50:22,240
Speaker 5: front and center. A lot of high expectations, three point

2383
01:50:22,280 --> 01:50:25,360
Speaker 5: favorites on the road, forty nine the total. As you

2384
01:50:25,360 --> 01:50:27,360
Speaker 5: can see, a lot of big point totals in here.

2385
01:50:27,439 --> 01:50:30,519
Speaker 5: We've got great games of contrast. Because we'll get to

2386
01:50:30,560 --> 01:50:32,320
Speaker 5: the Jets and the forty nine ers. Because it's down

2387
01:50:32,320 --> 01:50:34,720
Speaker 5: in those low forties again. But as we look at

2388
01:50:34,720 --> 01:50:38,439
Speaker 5: this one, Houston five and twenty one all time at Indy,

2389
01:50:39,600 --> 01:50:41,680
Speaker 5: anybody want to jump on that one? Go back to

2390
01:50:41,720 --> 01:50:44,640
Speaker 5: the Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, et cetera, going all

2391
01:50:44,680 --> 01:50:49,040
Speaker 5: the way through their histories. Houston adding some help on

2392
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:51,640
Speaker 5: the defensive side of the ball. For Indianapolis, A lot

2393
01:50:51,720 --> 01:50:55,400
Speaker 5: of it comes down to Anthony Richardson coming back as

2394
01:50:55,439 --> 01:50:58,439
Speaker 5: the number one completed less than sixty percent of his

2395
01:50:58,560 --> 01:51:01,559
Speaker 5: passes a year ago before going down with injury. Josh

2396
01:51:01,600 --> 01:51:03,559
Speaker 5: Downs is not going to be available the number two

2397
01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:07,559
Speaker 5: wide receiver, so it's Pittman Junior and we'll see how

2398
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 5: the rest of the receiving course shakes out. But for Richardson,

2399
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:12,960
Speaker 5: I gotta wonder if he watched a little bit of

2400
01:51:13,000 --> 01:51:15,320
Speaker 5: the most boring hard knocks ever where he at least

2401
01:51:15,320 --> 01:51:17,360
Speaker 5: would have gotten some tips on how to use the

2402
01:51:17,400 --> 01:51:20,040
Speaker 5: slip and slide Bucky Brooks, how important is that for

2403
01:51:20,080 --> 01:51:21,920
Speaker 5: the young quarterback to at least get one of those

2404
01:51:21,960 --> 01:51:22,960
Speaker 5: in their locker early.

2405
01:51:24,360 --> 01:51:27,479
Speaker 4: Yeah? No, they need to get that and their thing

2406
01:51:27,560 --> 01:51:29,439
Speaker 4: in the locker early so they kind of understand what

2407
01:51:29,520 --> 01:51:32,080
Speaker 4: is going on, how to go about it. This is funny, man.

2408
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:34,800
Speaker 4: We've been talking about this matchup and everyone has a

2409
01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:38,880
Speaker 4: lot of affinity for these two teams in the Indianapolis Colts, respectively.

2410
01:51:39,240 --> 01:51:41,040
Speaker 4: But I just want to put this in there. As

2411
01:51:41,040 --> 01:51:43,599
Speaker 4: you watch in the game and you see Anthony Richardson

2412
01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:46,840
Speaker 4: trout out from for the Colts, I want you just

2413
01:51:46,880 --> 01:51:49,439
Speaker 4: to note that he has only started seventeen games since

2414
01:51:49,479 --> 01:51:53,200
Speaker 4: he left high school. Seventeen games since he left high school.

2415
01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:55,559
Speaker 4: The guy that we're talking about, the dark horse MVP,

2416
01:51:56,280 --> 01:51:58,480
Speaker 4: is supposed to be able to do it with seventeen

2417
01:51:58,600 --> 01:52:01,280
Speaker 4: starts after high school. I'm not a believer, So I'm

2418
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:04,800
Speaker 4: gonna go with the Texans. C J. Stroud. To me, CJ.

2419
01:52:04,840 --> 01:52:07,360
Speaker 4: Straw is the top five quarterback and this team is

2420
01:52:07,439 --> 01:52:08,439
Speaker 4: loaded for bear.

2421
01:52:08,680 --> 01:52:13,120
Speaker 5: He is the thirteenth favorite for MVP in terms of

2422
01:52:13,160 --> 01:52:16,040
Speaker 5: odds coming into the season, ahead of such luminaries as

2423
01:52:16,080 --> 01:52:23,080
Speaker 5: Herbert Stafford, Trevor Lawrence, and Christian McCaffrey. Uh huh, how

2424
01:52:23,120 --> 01:52:27,160
Speaker 5: about that? So there's one of those random data points

2425
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:29,679
Speaker 5: for me, it's how many games do I have him healthy?

2426
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:32,599
Speaker 5: And I know one of the thoughts for green Bay

2427
01:52:32,640 --> 01:52:35,479
Speaker 5: people like they should go get Joe Flacco. Indianapolis is

2428
01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:39,839
Speaker 5: gonna need Joe Flacco. That's why he's there. Like they're

2429
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:44,559
Speaker 5: under no delusion that Richardson's going through playing seventeen games.

2430
01:52:44,640 --> 01:52:48,439
Speaker 5: What nine quarterbacks did that last year? Ten quarterbacks? It's

2431
01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 5: a very short list. And we saw him, you know,

2432
01:52:51,560 --> 01:52:55,080
Speaker 5: to your point, seventeen games played, still raw and trying

2433
01:52:55,080 --> 01:52:58,120
Speaker 5: to feel pressure. Read it, and we remember him, you know,

2434
01:52:58,400 --> 01:53:01,639
Speaker 5: briefly in his collegiate career, same thing, some big highlight

2435
01:53:01,720 --> 01:53:06,760
Speaker 5: reel kind of moments, but overall still needing some refinement,

2436
01:53:06,800 --> 01:53:09,360
Speaker 5: no question about it. But there's one that is on

2437
01:53:09,400 --> 01:53:11,679
Speaker 5: the radar for a lot of folks today, forty nine

2438
01:53:11,720 --> 01:53:13,679
Speaker 5: being the total Andy Any feel on this one?

2439
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:15,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's go back in the history book for a second.

2440
01:53:15,920 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 2: See what happened was these two teams met last year

2441
01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:22,160
Speaker 2: on the field, it was Week eighteen. A Stroud was

2442
01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:26,920
Speaker 2: unbelievable eleven point seven yards per attempt. They won twenty

2443
01:53:26,960 --> 01:53:30,520
Speaker 2: three to nineteen. Indianapolis has some problems in the secondary,

2444
01:53:30,720 --> 01:53:32,679
Speaker 2: and you know what doesn't make things any easier because

2445
01:53:32,680 --> 01:53:35,960
Speaker 2: Stefan Diggs now is on Texans, So I like the

2446
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:37,960
Speaker 2: Texas to win, but it's gonna be a high scoring game.

2447
01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:39,720
Speaker 2: It's gonna be very high scoring. Why do I say that?

2448
01:53:39,760 --> 01:53:42,320
Speaker 2: Because Jonathan Taylor has always had the number of the

2449
01:53:42,360 --> 01:53:45,519
Speaker 2: Houston Texans. He's averaging one hundred and thirty five yards

2450
01:53:45,520 --> 01:53:47,760
Speaker 2: in six games. But it's gonna be a high scoring game.

2451
01:53:47,800 --> 01:53:49,080
Speaker 2: But the Texans will win.

2452
01:53:49,560 --> 01:53:50,000
Speaker 1: Not to bad.

2453
01:53:50,080 --> 01:53:52,080
Speaker 5: You didn't even mention Joe Mixon. I mean, I figured

2454
01:53:52,080 --> 01:53:53,880
Speaker 5: you'd get an old Cincinnati guy in there.

2455
01:53:54,360 --> 01:53:55,720
Speaker 2: Not a good fan. I'm not a big fan of

2456
01:53:55,800 --> 01:53:56,320
Speaker 2: JOm No.

2457
01:53:56,479 --> 01:54:00,679
Speaker 5: I mean, you know, some personal transgressions. Certainly he would

2458
01:54:00,840 --> 01:54:04,559
Speaker 5: still hold over time, no question about it. And Stefan Diggs,

2459
01:54:04,600 --> 01:54:06,800
Speaker 5: I mean, it's the honeymoon period for him. It'll be

2460
01:54:06,880 --> 01:54:09,200
Speaker 5: year two when he causes discord in the locker room there.

2461
01:54:10,800 --> 01:54:13,519
Speaker 4: Maybe even with the discord, he still puts up a

2462
01:54:13,520 --> 01:54:15,800
Speaker 4: thousand yard ceat he does. I think the team that

2463
01:54:15,960 --> 01:54:18,519
Speaker 4: we have to look at is how does Buffalo respawn

2464
01:54:18,600 --> 01:54:21,479
Speaker 4: without him? But for Stefan Diggs going to the Texans,

2465
01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:23,800
Speaker 4: how does he fit in? Because all those guys he's

2466
01:54:23,800 --> 01:54:27,680
Speaker 4: playing with, Tank Dill and Nico Collins, they looked up

2467
01:54:27,720 --> 01:54:30,880
Speaker 4: to him as they were coming up, and so does

2468
01:54:30,960 --> 01:54:33,880
Speaker 4: he end up being the defacto number one even though

2469
01:54:33,880 --> 01:54:36,200
Speaker 4: they may have plans for others to be the number one.

2470
01:54:36,240 --> 01:54:38,920
Speaker 5: Yeah, certainly a deep receiving room. Now you add Dalton

2471
01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:42,160
Speaker 5: Schultz the tight end. By the way, guys, Jonathan Taylor's

2472
01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:44,120
Speaker 5: over under for rushing yard seventy three and a half.

2473
01:54:44,120 --> 01:54:47,560
Speaker 5: Who's in? That's no, you just give us the statum

2474
01:54:47,680 --> 01:54:50,920
Speaker 5: how he runs these guys over with a clip of

2475
01:54:50,960 --> 01:54:53,680
Speaker 5: another fifty yards above. What is over under? Is I

2476
01:54:53,720 --> 01:54:54,320
Speaker 5: was gonna.

2477
01:54:55,680 --> 01:54:56,560
Speaker 2: I'm taking the over.

2478
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,800
Speaker 5: I log that up like it was a don't across sport.

2479
01:55:01,200 --> 01:55:04,440
Speaker 2: You just don't know. You just don't know. Come on,

2480
01:55:04,920 --> 01:55:07,000
Speaker 2: I mean you gotta are you betting on that? What

2481
01:55:07,040 --> 01:55:07,440
Speaker 2: do you take?

2482
01:55:07,720 --> 01:55:07,880
Speaker 12: Well?

2483
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:09,760
Speaker 5: I mean it's gonna be part of my pick six.

2484
01:55:09,840 --> 01:55:12,960
Speaker 5: I just we'll get into that a little bit later

2485
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:15,320
Speaker 5: on as we go, because hey, it's all for fun

2486
01:55:15,440 --> 01:55:18,280
Speaker 5: and entertainment and maybe to earn an extra dollar towards

2487
01:55:18,320 --> 01:55:21,320
Speaker 5: your next outing. He's Andy Furman, that's Bucky Brooks out

2488
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:23,120
Speaker 5: by Carmen. We got a couple more games we want

2489
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:25,080
Speaker 5: to get to before we get out of here for

2490
01:55:25,200 --> 01:55:28,440
Speaker 5: this hour. Here it's Fox Football Sunday on Fox Sports Radio.

2491
01:55:28,640 --> 01:55:28,800
Speaker 1: Ah.

2492
01:55:28,840 --> 01:55:34,280
Speaker 5: The musical stylings of Andy Furman's favorite, the legend himself.

2493
01:55:34,320 --> 01:55:37,160
Speaker 5: He's Andy Ferman and Andy Ferman fs R. Check out

2494
01:55:37,200 --> 01:55:40,320
Speaker 5: everything he's got going on there with his radio spots

2495
01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:44,400
Speaker 5: and his columns and everything as he flows through. Always

2496
01:55:44,400 --> 01:55:47,880
Speaker 5: appreciate the input and being fired up. Our guy Bucky Brooks.

2497
01:55:47,920 --> 01:55:51,040
Speaker 5: He keeps us calm and positive, keeps us moving on

2498
01:55:51,080 --> 01:55:56,960
Speaker 5: a Sunday towards positivity, inclusiveness and discourse. And I try

2499
01:55:57,000 --> 01:55:59,000
Speaker 5: to go in the middle and be the agitator that

2500
01:55:59,080 --> 01:56:02,160
Speaker 5: gets everybody fire up. As a full slate of NFL

2501
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:06,000
Speaker 5: games are there. Fox Football Sunday is where we're at.

2502
01:56:06,080 --> 01:56:07,400
Speaker 5: We got a couple more games we want to get

2503
01:56:07,400 --> 01:56:09,480
Speaker 5: to before the hour is up, So Mark, if you

2504
01:56:09,480 --> 01:56:14,600
Speaker 5: would please, Raiders charge Here we go. The Coons goes

2505
01:56:14,640 --> 01:56:18,440
Speaker 5: to the ir So there's another missing piece for your

2506
01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:21,600
Speaker 5: Las Vegas Raiders. It is a three point spread in

2507
01:56:21,640 --> 01:56:24,440
Speaker 5: this one. Forty is the over under. Not a lot

2508
01:56:24,480 --> 01:56:30,400
Speaker 5: of optimism that the reconstructed Charger offense, nor that led

2509
01:56:30,440 --> 01:56:32,600
Speaker 5: by Gardner Minshew will put up much in the way

2510
01:56:32,640 --> 01:56:36,320
Speaker 5: of points. Last year from Minshew in Indianapolis for multi

2511
01:56:36,360 --> 01:56:39,960
Speaker 5: touchdown games, he had three three hundred yard games. Herbert's

2512
01:56:40,000 --> 01:56:42,959
Speaker 5: out of the walking boot. It's got two bookend tackles

2513
01:56:42,960 --> 01:56:44,680
Speaker 5: in front of him, but a lot of question marks

2514
01:56:44,680 --> 01:56:48,880
Speaker 5: on offense because you brought in two old guard often

2515
01:56:49,040 --> 01:56:52,280
Speaker 5: injured running backs to get things started coming over from

2516
01:56:52,800 --> 01:56:55,600
Speaker 5: in a sale or a trade with his brother Harbor

2517
01:56:55,760 --> 01:56:59,240
Speaker 5: to Harbaugh, as it were. Devanta Adams a lot of

2518
01:56:59,280 --> 01:57:02,080
Speaker 5: noise and space about him, but there's some talent on

2519
01:57:02,120 --> 01:57:05,840
Speaker 5: this squad. Let's not make any mistake about it. Defensively,

2520
01:57:06,080 --> 01:57:09,959
Speaker 5: they've got some big, heavy hitters offensively between Adams, Jacoby

2521
01:57:10,000 --> 01:57:13,800
Speaker 5: Myers and the dual tight ends. There could be some

2522
01:57:13,920 --> 01:57:16,720
Speaker 5: excitement here, but it is hardball bull. They got the

2523
01:57:17,200 --> 01:57:20,560
Speaker 5: billboards up and down the freeways here of southern California. Andy,

2524
01:57:20,960 --> 01:57:22,080
Speaker 5: what do you think for this one?

2525
01:57:22,440 --> 01:57:24,240
Speaker 2: You know what, I'm gonna make it real easy for

2526
01:57:24,280 --> 01:57:26,360
Speaker 2: you to mention just Gardener Minshew, That's all I need

2527
01:57:26,400 --> 01:57:26,760
Speaker 2: to say.

2528
01:57:27,680 --> 01:57:28,840
Speaker 5: So you're taking him to win?

2529
01:57:29,320 --> 01:57:31,800
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no way. They get the charges

2530
01:57:31,800 --> 01:57:34,520
Speaker 2: you got Jim harbas Day's got these guys ready to

2531
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:37,600
Speaker 2: run through gasoline tanks. I mean, it's unbelievable. He's I'm

2532
01:57:37,640 --> 01:57:39,120
Speaker 2: happy for him, I really am. He got out of

2533
01:57:39,120 --> 01:57:42,879
Speaker 2: Michigan at the right time. He's in La. The Charges

2534
01:57:42,920 --> 01:57:45,400
Speaker 2: are there. They may be the surprise team of the

2535
01:57:45,480 --> 01:57:49,760
Speaker 2: NFL this year because of him.

2536
01:57:49,840 --> 01:57:51,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, there are a lot of people that expect that

2537
01:57:51,680 --> 01:57:53,240
Speaker 4: to happen. I will say, we need to see what

2538
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:56,120
Speaker 4: this offenselessly without those weapons on the outside, Mike Keenan

2539
01:57:56,160 --> 01:57:59,000
Speaker 4: and Keenan Allen, I mean Mike Williams of Keenan Allen.

2540
01:57:59,160 --> 01:58:01,760
Speaker 4: Because this was offense that ran through the quarterback. It

2541
01:58:01,800 --> 01:58:03,680
Speaker 4: will continue to run through the quarterback, but they just

2542
01:58:03,680 --> 01:58:05,520
Speaker 4: want to make sure that the running game is a factor.

2543
01:58:06,320 --> 01:58:09,000
Speaker 4: I think this comes down to looking at the quarterback battle.

2544
01:58:09,240 --> 01:58:13,960
Speaker 4: Who do you trust the most? Justin Herbert we're on

2545
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:17,240
Speaker 4: the other side. Yes, I like corner Minshew. I'm gonna

2546
01:58:17,240 --> 01:58:19,480
Speaker 4: go with Justin Herbert. I don't think Garna Minch is

2547
01:58:19,480 --> 01:58:21,120
Speaker 4: gonna be able to put enough points on the board

2548
01:58:21,160 --> 01:58:22,320
Speaker 4: for them to knock off the Charges.

2549
01:58:22,560 --> 01:58:25,440
Speaker 5: Can Bosa company get the pass rush going? That's the key,

2550
01:58:25,840 --> 01:58:29,120
Speaker 5: get Minshew to get a little careless with the football. Obviously,

2551
01:58:29,240 --> 01:58:33,120
Speaker 5: Chargers looking for more or really anything out of Quentin

2552
01:58:33,160 --> 01:58:36,839
Speaker 5: Johnston after a disappointing rookie year. You bring in Lad McConkey.

2553
01:58:36,920 --> 01:58:39,120
Speaker 5: You've got Josh Palmer, who has served as a number

2554
01:58:39,120 --> 01:58:42,840
Speaker 5: one in the past, so opportunity there. Disley Hurst your

2555
01:58:42,880 --> 01:58:46,640
Speaker 5: tight end dual threat as well. All right, one more

2556
01:58:46,680 --> 01:58:47,480
Speaker 5: game to get through.

2557
01:58:47,760 --> 01:58:49,400
Speaker 2: Jat said forty nine ers.

2558
01:58:49,720 --> 01:58:52,480
Speaker 5: Saving well, a game that I'll probably die a little

2559
01:58:52,480 --> 01:58:56,240
Speaker 5: bit on air with with my partner Jason Smith on Monday,

2560
01:58:56,280 --> 01:58:58,880
Speaker 5: as he is big Jets fan. Of course, a lot

2561
01:58:58,920 --> 01:59:01,320
Speaker 5: of injuries for San Francis on the defensive side at

2562
01:59:01,320 --> 01:59:10,040
Speaker 5: every level, Grossmados, Winters, Hufunga, all with different injuries, availability questionable.

2563
01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:13,400
Speaker 5: You've got Wilson and the holdovers from last year and

2564
01:59:13,440 --> 01:59:16,120
Speaker 5: the receiving court for the Jets and Corley. Really it

2565
01:59:16,160 --> 01:59:19,440
Speaker 5: all comes down to Aaron Rodgers getting the over under

2566
01:59:19,480 --> 01:59:22,440
Speaker 5: a four and a half snaps, but trying to navigate

2567
01:59:22,480 --> 01:59:23,919
Speaker 5: that San Francisco defense.

2568
01:59:23,960 --> 01:59:26,960
Speaker 4: Bucky Look, I think he comes down to the Jets

2569
01:59:27,040 --> 01:59:28,720
Speaker 4: being able to outplay the Niners. I feel like the

2570
01:59:28,800 --> 01:59:31,160
Speaker 4: Niners are distracted all of the stuff of the offseason,

2571
01:59:31,440 --> 01:59:34,520
Speaker 4: the disease of me people, wint and he complaining about

2572
01:59:34,520 --> 01:59:36,800
Speaker 4: the contract missing most of camp. I think that's a

2573
01:59:36,800 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 4: lot for the Niners. Overcome. Give me the Jets. Even

2574
01:59:39,880 --> 01:59:40,960
Speaker 4: though I'm not a Jet believer.

2575
01:59:41,120 --> 01:59:43,440
Speaker 5: Look at you Jets plus four forty three the total.

2576
01:59:43,480 --> 01:59:44,480
Speaker 5: Andy last week.

2577
01:59:44,360 --> 01:59:46,000
Speaker 2: Taking the Jets at tell you what the key is

2578
01:59:46,040 --> 01:59:48,440
Speaker 2: not to get Aaron Rodgers frustrated? Can they protect him?

2579
01:59:48,600 --> 01:59:50,640
Speaker 2: The Jets right tackle on Morgan Moses. He's going to

2580
01:59:50,680 --> 01:59:52,880
Speaker 2: have a big day ahead of him today. Can San

2581
01:59:52,920 --> 01:59:55,760
Speaker 2: Francisco's defense get the Aaron Rodgers and get this Between

2582
01:59:55,800 --> 01:59:57,640
Speaker 2: now in December first, the New York Jets on this

2583
01:59:57,720 --> 02:00:01,440
Speaker 2: schedule only one Sunday home and either one of four

2584
02:00:01,560 --> 02:00:04,640
Speaker 2: twenty Easton. Think about that. Between now with December fourth,

2585
02:00:04,680 --> 02:00:06,800
Speaker 2: the Jets only have one home game in either the

2586
02:00:06,840 --> 02:00:09,560
Speaker 2: one o'clock Eastern time or the four to twenty Easton time.

2587

Speaker 5: Jets in primetime. Aaron Rodgers taking over your living room,

2588

Speaker 5: four short, four hour sprint to kickoff here in earnest

2594
02:00:34,560 --> 02:00:38,640
Speaker 5: of the full slate of games. Excitement, exuberants, hope is

2595
02:00:38,720 --> 02:00:41,839
Speaker 5: the operative word for so many teams and fan bases.

2596
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:45,120
Speaker 5: As we get things rolling, Mike Harbin alongside Bucky Brooks.

2597
02:00:45,120 --> 02:00:47,880
Speaker 5: We thank Andy Furman u IF for his time here

2598
02:00:48,000 --> 02:00:50,400
Speaker 5: on a Sunday morning. We'll talk to Andy again next

2599
02:00:50,400 --> 02:00:54,200
Speaker 5: week and see how good the prognosticating was. You find

2600
02:00:54,400 --> 02:00:59,600
Speaker 5: Bucky on NFL dot com, NFL Network, read him at

2601
02:00:59,640 --> 02:01:02,040
Speaker 5: Bucky Brooks all that he's got going on. He'll be

2602
02:01:02,040 --> 02:01:04,960
Speaker 5: working the sideline for the Jaguars a little later, but

2603
02:01:05,000 --> 02:01:07,320
Speaker 5: for now, we're broadcasting live from the Tierraq dot com,

2604
02:01:07,360 --> 02:01:10,360
Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio Studios, tirerac dot com. We'll help you

2605
02:01:10,400 --> 02:01:13,400
Speaker 5: get there an unmatched selection, fast, free shipping, free road

2606
02:01:13,400 --> 02:01:16,920
Speaker 5: hazard protection, and over ten thousand recommended installers. Tire rac

2607
02:01:17,000 --> 02:01:20,640
Speaker 5: dot com the way tire buying should be. And Bucky

2608
02:01:20,960 --> 02:01:24,400
Speaker 5: excited to be with you for a full slate of activity.

2609
02:01:24,440 --> 02:01:26,240
Speaker 5: As we talked about a little bit with Andy, I

2610
02:01:26,280 --> 02:01:29,040
Speaker 5: mean so many marquee matchups. I always have issues with

2611
02:01:29,080 --> 02:01:33,760
Speaker 5: the scheduling, right. I don't like the backloaded divisional games.

2612
02:01:33,800 --> 02:01:36,520
Speaker 5: I think that's ill fated because of the number of

2613
02:01:36,520 --> 02:01:38,840
Speaker 5: injuries in the War of attrition that we have. But

2614
02:01:38,960 --> 02:01:41,040
Speaker 5: also here on the front end, we've got all these

2615
02:01:41,080 --> 02:01:43,720
Speaker 5: marquee matchups. You could put any two teams together and

2616
02:01:43,760 --> 02:01:46,840
Speaker 5: we're gonna show up for NFL football, all right. As

2617
02:01:46,840 --> 02:01:50,240
Speaker 5: we continue here, we'll effort Bucky here in a second,

2618
02:01:50,720 --> 02:01:52,720
Speaker 5: you can hear a little bit in the background, obviously

2619
02:01:52,760 --> 02:01:55,520
Speaker 5: getting ready for a big day of work there with

2620
02:01:55,600 --> 02:01:59,040
Speaker 5: the Jaguars and the Dolphins. We talked about that game

2621
02:01:59,080 --> 02:02:01,960
Speaker 5: a little bit early in the program, going back to

2622
02:02:02,040 --> 02:02:05,040
Speaker 5: last hour forty nine and a half, the total and

2623
02:02:05,320 --> 02:02:09,200
Speaker 5: like in southern California heat wave, looking at one hundred degrees,

2624
02:02:09,240 --> 02:02:12,320
Speaker 5: how you keeping cool there, Bucky? What's the pregame ritual?

2625
02:02:13,280 --> 02:02:15,440
Speaker 4: Oh? Well, the pregame ritual is to stay away from

2626
02:02:15,480 --> 02:02:17,960
Speaker 4: being outside because it's warm, it's hot, it's muggy. It's

2627
02:02:17,960 --> 02:02:20,600
Speaker 4: gonna be a hot one. You know how the Dolphins

2628
02:02:20,680 --> 02:02:22,680
Speaker 4: like to do. They're gonna put the visiting team in

2629
02:02:22,720 --> 02:02:26,400
Speaker 4: the middle of the sun, sir, trying to prehydrate, to

2630
02:02:26,400 --> 02:02:28,640
Speaker 4: make sure that we don't have any issues in the

2631
02:02:28,680 --> 02:02:29,360
Speaker 4: middle of the game.

2632
02:02:29,560 --> 02:02:32,600
Speaker 5: I was gonna say one of the extra points of

2633
02:02:32,640 --> 02:02:35,320
Speaker 5: emphasis as we go through. Certainly here in southern California,

2634
02:02:35,360 --> 02:02:38,240
Speaker 5: that'll be an issue later when we've got the Raiders

2635
02:02:38,240 --> 02:02:41,400
Speaker 5: and Chargers. Because it's not a dome. It is an

2636
02:02:41,440 --> 02:02:44,720
Speaker 5: outdoor facility. Yes, it has you know, the thin layer

2637
02:02:44,800 --> 02:02:47,880
Speaker 5: in the covering or whatever. But it's an open air facility,

2638
02:02:47,920 --> 02:02:49,800
Speaker 5: so it will get warm as much as they can

2639
02:02:49,840 --> 02:02:53,360
Speaker 5: try to control the climate there. But that's one of

2640
02:02:53,440 --> 02:02:56,680
Speaker 5: the extra factors in a September game down in Miami.

2641
02:02:57,000 --> 02:02:58,720
Speaker 5: But for you, I mean, you played in the league,

2642
02:02:58,760 --> 02:03:01,720
Speaker 5: covering the league these years, what's a week one? What

2643
02:03:01,800 --> 02:03:05,240
Speaker 5: kind of memories does it stir? And how much are

2644
02:03:05,280 --> 02:03:07,320
Speaker 5: you looking forward to this Jaguar squad?

2645
02:03:08,440 --> 02:03:10,240
Speaker 4: Well, I'm looking forward to the Jaguar squad just to

2646
02:03:10,240 --> 02:03:12,480
Speaker 4: see it because it's the official kickoff rights to kickoff

2647
02:03:12,520 --> 02:03:14,560
Speaker 4: to the season. That means everyone is underway, all the

2648
02:03:14,560 --> 02:03:16,520
Speaker 4: games will be done by the day and so we

2649
02:03:16,560 --> 02:03:19,400
Speaker 4: can begin to have a little overreaction Monday, of course

2650
02:03:19,720 --> 02:03:22,800
Speaker 4: to what we saw. This week is the hardest week.

2651
02:03:22,920 --> 02:03:25,080
Speaker 4: Is the hardest week for coaches and players because of

2652
02:03:25,120 --> 02:03:28,760
Speaker 4: the unknown. The beginning of the season is a mix

2653
02:03:28,840 --> 02:03:31,520
Speaker 4: of what you think you will be and then finding

2654
02:03:31,560 --> 02:03:33,920
Speaker 4: out in reality, this is who we are going to

2655
02:03:34,080 --> 02:03:36,480
Speaker 4: have to be, and you have to be able to

2656
02:03:36,480 --> 02:03:39,800
Speaker 4: make these adjustments on the fly over the first two

2657
02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:43,480
Speaker 4: three games of the season, and injuries will play effector.

2658
02:03:43,520 --> 02:03:47,080
Speaker 4: But number Week one is tough because the conditioning is

2659
02:03:47,160 --> 02:03:50,520
Speaker 4: a big part of who wins and who loses preseason games,

2660
02:03:50,560 --> 02:03:52,680
Speaker 4: we don't want to play our starters. If we do plan,

2661
02:03:52,800 --> 02:03:54,280
Speaker 4: we try not to play them a long time because

2662
02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:56,000
Speaker 4: we want to make sure we get to the starting

2663
02:03:56,040 --> 02:03:59,320
Speaker 4: line with everybody. The issue that you have is now

2664
02:03:59,680 --> 02:04:03,240
Speaker 4: the game sixty minutes long and you're playing, and you

2665
02:04:03,280 --> 02:04:06,120
Speaker 4: don't have the expanded roster like you had in training

2666
02:04:06,120 --> 02:04:09,080
Speaker 4: camp to get subs. You have to play, and it

2667
02:04:09,160 --> 02:04:12,360
Speaker 4: becomes a war of attrition in terms of who can

2668
02:04:12,440 --> 02:04:15,640
Speaker 4: manage the substitution, who's able to tap into the depth

2669
02:04:15,800 --> 02:04:18,400
Speaker 4: early to allow their best players to be fresh and

2670
02:04:18,440 --> 02:04:20,520
Speaker 4: available if the game is tight in the fourth quarter.

2671
02:04:20,600 --> 02:04:23,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, it's the curiosity. Just looking at the slate overall,

2672
02:04:23,320 --> 02:04:25,400
Speaker 5: we touched on some of the big games and got

2673
02:04:25,400 --> 02:04:28,320
Speaker 5: a number drifting up in the over under totals of

2674
02:04:28,360 --> 02:04:32,560
Speaker 5: the high forties into the fifties. So certainly for betters,

2675
02:04:32,560 --> 02:04:35,840
Speaker 5: for fantasy owners, and just fans in general, the fireworks

2676
02:04:35,840 --> 02:04:38,520
Speaker 5: will be there and you'll be seeing highlight reels for days.

2677
02:04:39,000 --> 02:04:43,000
Speaker 5: You know me, I love the ground game and defensive football.

2678
02:04:43,080 --> 02:04:44,600
Speaker 5: That means that you know you can't air it out

2679
02:04:44,640 --> 02:04:47,720
Speaker 5: with occasion, but some of these games that are expected

2680
02:04:47,760 --> 02:04:49,920
Speaker 5: to be a little more of a slug fest hold

2681
02:04:50,000 --> 02:04:52,400
Speaker 5: some interest to me. We've got a number of new

2682
02:04:52,520 --> 02:04:57,080
Speaker 5: head coaches. Hardball gets all the headline, but Canalis and

2683
02:04:57,240 --> 02:04:59,920
Speaker 5: Raheem Morris and others you know that are trying to

2684
02:05:00,120 --> 02:05:05,040
Speaker 5: stamp their way and their next futures. Hardball obviously linked

2685
02:05:05,040 --> 02:05:07,840
Speaker 5: to what's going on back at Michigan as they get

2686
02:05:07,920 --> 02:05:12,720
Speaker 5: schlacked by Texas yesterday, and immediately the graphics went up

2687
02:05:12,760 --> 02:05:16,040
Speaker 5: as quickly as possible to show how many people left

2688
02:05:16,080 --> 02:05:18,040
Speaker 5: the program after that. I don't know that we did

2689
02:05:18,040 --> 02:05:20,960
Speaker 5: that for every other program, and I know that the

2690
02:05:21,120 --> 02:05:25,080
Speaker 5: defending champions. I love the ceremony with Charles Woodson. I

2691
02:05:25,080 --> 02:05:27,640
Speaker 5: mean it was like a Sunday morning service like we were,

2692
02:05:27,760 --> 02:05:31,120
Speaker 5: you know, in the Holy Days or something. But I

2693
02:05:31,160 --> 02:05:33,080
Speaker 5: don't know that we were ever quick to get a

2694
02:05:33,200 --> 02:05:37,240
Speaker 5: graphic up about losses to a program of starters that

2695
02:05:37,360 --> 02:05:38,760
Speaker 5: we were for Michigan yesterday.

2696
02:05:39,760 --> 02:05:43,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, now we were quick to dismiss some of the things.

2697
02:05:43,000 --> 02:05:44,720
Speaker 4: I think the biggest thing for me in watching the

2698
02:05:44,720 --> 02:05:47,240
Speaker 4: game was just how different they were a team that

2699
02:05:47,360 --> 02:05:49,560
Speaker 4: was really about ground and pound and beat people up.

2700
02:05:49,600 --> 02:05:52,440
Speaker 4: They were throwing the ball a lot with a backup

2701
02:05:52,480 --> 02:05:55,520
Speaker 4: quarterback or a walk on quarterback who was making I

2702
02:05:55,520 --> 02:05:59,080
Speaker 4: think only a seventh start like since the middle of

2703
02:05:59,120 --> 02:06:02,640
Speaker 4: his high school ten So it is it is just baffling.

2704
02:06:02,760 --> 02:06:05,240
Speaker 4: But yeah, there's going to be some of that with

2705
02:06:05,440 --> 02:06:07,680
Speaker 4: Harbor being gone. What does it look like, what do

2706
02:06:07,760 --> 02:06:10,520
Speaker 4: they miss how much of that identity has been changed

2707
02:06:10,760 --> 02:06:13,040
Speaker 4: when you have a new takeover. So it'll be interesting

2708
02:06:13,040 --> 02:06:14,120
Speaker 4: see how this plays out for them.

2709
02:06:14,200 --> 02:06:16,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, we'll talk more NFL here we go. Well, let's

2710
02:06:16,160 --> 02:06:18,160
Speaker 5: tick with the college game for a moment, with the

2711
02:06:18,240 --> 02:06:22,879
Speaker 5: number of upsets and narrow misses. Right, Penn State survive

2712
02:06:22,960 --> 02:06:27,160
Speaker 5: in advance Oregon for the second straight week, survive and advance.

2713
02:06:27,680 --> 02:06:30,360
Speaker 5: Some big upsets. Right, Well, we go back a week

2714
02:06:30,400 --> 02:06:33,480
Speaker 5: ago where we had, you know, week zero, we had

2715
02:06:33,480 --> 02:06:36,480
Speaker 5: a couple of big upsets, and then you look at

2716
02:06:36,520 --> 02:06:40,040
Speaker 5: some of these close games, the changing landscape of college

2717
02:06:40,080 --> 02:06:44,560
Speaker 5: football and wondering how much the nil transfer portal, all

2718
02:06:44,600 --> 02:06:48,080
Speaker 5: these things, scholarship, you know, you're narrowing the gap and

2719
02:06:48,120 --> 02:06:51,160
Speaker 5: those margins with such turnover, kind of like we look

2720
02:06:51,200 --> 02:06:53,840
Speaker 5: at with the NFL as we come into new year, right,

2721
02:06:55,040 --> 02:06:59,560
Speaker 5: especially if you didn't play substantive snaps in the preseason,

2722
02:06:59,600 --> 02:07:01,880
Speaker 5: trying to get that continuity. We saw it in Philadelphia.

2723
02:07:01,880 --> 02:07:05,920
Speaker 5: Obviously you expected some drop off with the offensive line

2724
02:07:05,920 --> 02:07:08,640
Speaker 5: with no Jason Kelcey, but you saw how they struggled

2725
02:07:08,680 --> 02:07:12,240
Speaker 5: just with exchanges so early and in the college games.

2726
02:07:12,280 --> 02:07:14,720
Speaker 5: That seems to be much more pronounced through the first

2727
02:07:14,720 --> 02:07:15,800
Speaker 5: three weeks of the season.

2728
02:07:17,320 --> 02:07:21,320
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is very pronounced. And look, the first part

2729
02:07:21,360 --> 02:07:24,480
Speaker 4: of the season is always kind of kind of weird,

2730
02:07:24,520 --> 02:07:26,360
Speaker 4: like in terms of just figuring out who's who and

2731
02:07:26,440 --> 02:07:29,280
Speaker 4: what's what and really adapting and adjusting and with all

2732
02:07:29,360 --> 02:07:32,760
Speaker 4: the rules changes, not only the players, but the officials

2733
02:07:32,800 --> 02:07:35,360
Speaker 4: and everybody trying to figure it out. And we'll talk

2734
02:07:35,360 --> 02:07:38,480
Speaker 4: about the dynamic kickoff because there's been the topic of

2735
02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:41,520
Speaker 4: conversation for most of the off season. How is that

2736
02:07:41,600 --> 02:07:45,200
Speaker 4: going to affect everything? It's gonna be a significant impact

2737
02:07:45,280 --> 02:07:48,120
Speaker 4: in terms of like what could be and what we've seen.

2738
02:07:48,800 --> 02:07:51,400
Speaker 4: Most people are saying, hey, because it's new and we

2739
02:07:51,480 --> 02:07:53,920
Speaker 4: don't know, we go kick it through the end zone

2740
02:07:53,920 --> 02:07:55,040
Speaker 4: and just give them the ball at the thirst.

2741
02:07:55,200 --> 02:07:57,120
Speaker 5: Nobody wants to be the guinea pig to see how

2742
02:07:57,160 --> 02:07:57,840
Speaker 5: it can go wrong.

2743
02:07:57,920 --> 02:07:59,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, not on my wise. Yeah, not on my white.

2744
02:08:00,200 --> 02:08:02,640
Speaker 4: Not gonna lose a game because we tried to experiment

2745
02:08:02,720 --> 02:08:04,560
Speaker 4: and see if we could cover it. Yeah, just give

2746
02:08:04,600 --> 02:08:07,920
Speaker 4: them the ball at the thirty and we'll figure it out. Yeah.

2747
02:08:08,040 --> 02:08:10,440
Speaker 4: And so if they want more kicks in the game,

2748
02:08:10,440 --> 02:08:12,560
Speaker 4: they're gonna have to move the penalty back to the

2749
02:08:12,640 --> 02:08:15,160
Speaker 4: thirty five to force people to really make hard to

2750
02:08:15,160 --> 02:08:16,400
Speaker 4: say his own field position.

2751
02:08:16,480 --> 02:08:18,720
Speaker 5: Yeah, I would think that's the thing from the NFL

2752
02:08:18,840 --> 02:08:22,840
Speaker 5: side moving into this, the dynamic kickoff, the landing zone,

2753
02:08:22,880 --> 02:08:26,240
Speaker 5: all of that stuff. You know, something I espoused and

2754
02:08:26,520 --> 02:08:29,160
Speaker 5: I heard Belichick kind of echo it in one of

2755
02:08:29,200 --> 02:08:32,000
Speaker 5: his many media sessions this week. He's got like ninety

2756
02:08:32,040 --> 02:08:35,280
Speaker 5: seven jobs. Now he's everywhere he Now he's on snap

2757
02:08:35,360 --> 02:08:38,920
Speaker 5: face too, So you got to face or whatever he's

2758
02:08:38,920 --> 02:08:39,280
Speaker 5: calling it.

2759
02:08:39,360 --> 02:08:40,720
Speaker 4: He you know, he had to get on it with

2760
02:08:40,760 --> 02:08:43,240
Speaker 4: that young companion that he.

2761
02:08:43,240 --> 02:08:44,720
Speaker 5: Has well, and you got to get in there and

2762
02:08:44,840 --> 02:08:46,080
Speaker 5: sell meet them.

2763
02:08:45,880 --> 02:08:48,400
Speaker 4: Where they are, that is, to meet them where they are, like,

2764
02:08:48,440 --> 02:08:50,560
Speaker 4: so you couldn't just use the old rotary phone. He's

2765
02:08:50,600 --> 02:08:54,040
Speaker 4: gonna have to text and and fa face.

2766
02:08:54,160 --> 02:08:54,320
Speaker 11: Well.

2767
02:08:54,320 --> 02:08:56,680
Speaker 4: The other part is some of the other technology stuff.

2768
02:08:56,720 --> 02:08:58,680
Speaker 5: If he wants a ground swell of support, to get

2769
02:08:58,720 --> 02:09:01,480
Speaker 5: him another coaching job. Hey, this guy still has it.

2770
02:09:01,960 --> 02:09:03,880
Speaker 5: You got to also go where they are, almost like

2771
02:09:03,920 --> 02:09:07,640
Speaker 5: you're a politician, right, You just can't go to the

2772
02:09:07,640 --> 02:09:11,240
Speaker 5: old VFW clubs and whatever around town. You gotta go

2773
02:09:11,280 --> 02:09:14,520
Speaker 5: and shake hands and kiss babies wherever they may be.

2774
02:09:15,000 --> 02:09:19,200
Speaker 5: But for the dynamic kickoff, and back to that point

2775
02:09:19,520 --> 02:09:24,000
Speaker 5: was unless you move the kicking team back from where

2776
02:09:24,000 --> 02:09:26,480
Speaker 5: they're kicking off, right, So move that back another ten

2777
02:09:26,560 --> 02:09:30,320
Speaker 5: or fifteen yards to force the ball to come down

2778
02:09:30,320 --> 02:09:32,800
Speaker 5: in the field to play or to your point, all right,

2779
02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:36,440
Speaker 5: it's more punitive of its thirty five to forty at

2780
02:09:36,440 --> 02:09:39,200
Speaker 5: the thirty yard line. I don't think it's that much

2781
02:09:39,240 --> 02:09:43,640
Speaker 5: of a penalty to the kicking team that you wouldn't

2782
02:09:43,640 --> 02:09:45,120
Speaker 5: just kick it out of the end zone every time

2783
02:09:45,600 --> 02:09:48,720
Speaker 5: if you can't. Now it's curious, right, Green Bay did

2784
02:09:48,760 --> 02:09:51,720
Speaker 5: have one that they had land just inside the zone,

2785
02:09:52,600 --> 02:09:55,320
Speaker 5: maybe cause for a little bit of chaos, But I

2786
02:09:55,360 --> 02:09:59,400
Speaker 5: think I read a stat they were doing all the analytics,

2787
02:09:59,640 --> 02:10:01,560
Speaker 5: you know, as they do out of Las Vegas, and

2788
02:10:01,600 --> 02:10:04,200
Speaker 5: the estimate is that it'll be at roughly the twenty

2789
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:07,440
Speaker 5: nine yard line will be the average start position. So

2790
02:10:07,680 --> 02:10:10,400
Speaker 5: just shy of what you get from the kickoff or

2791
02:10:10,480 --> 02:10:16,280
Speaker 5: from through the touchback kind of scenarios. So really no change.

2792
02:10:16,320 --> 02:10:18,880
Speaker 5: I think only five kickoffs got returned in the first

2793
02:10:18,880 --> 02:10:22,960
Speaker 5: two games despite all the scoring. So yeah, nobody wants

2794
02:10:23,000 --> 02:10:25,800
Speaker 5: to be the guinea pig to lose that lose a

2795
02:10:25,840 --> 02:10:28,560
Speaker 5: big play and give up the huge play. But to

2796
02:10:28,640 --> 02:10:32,680
Speaker 5: this point, the conservatism I think spares out for a

2797
02:10:32,680 --> 02:10:35,320
Speaker 5: while until you're down and have to be aggressive.

2798
02:10:36,840 --> 02:10:38,360
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think you have to play that way.

2799
02:10:38,360 --> 02:10:40,400
Speaker 4: I think early in the years about playing the odds

2800
02:10:40,400 --> 02:10:42,720
Speaker 4: and just kind of get kind of getting your feet

2801
02:10:42,720 --> 02:10:44,400
Speaker 4: wet in terms of fielding. What do you have, what

2802
02:10:45,120 --> 02:10:46,960
Speaker 4: do we want to do, What is the best way

2803
02:10:47,000 --> 02:10:49,520
Speaker 4: for us to be able to get this done? It

2804
02:10:49,640 --> 02:10:52,760
Speaker 4: changes everything, and so the kick you know, the reason

2805
02:10:52,760 --> 02:10:55,680
Speaker 4: why everyone was worried is because the kickoff return has

2806
02:10:55,680 --> 02:11:00,400
Speaker 4: the potential to completely change and flip field position. That's

2807
02:11:00,440 --> 02:11:01,800
Speaker 4: why it was such a big deal. That's why it

2808
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:04,600
Speaker 4: was so much conversation around now.

2809
02:11:04,720 --> 02:11:06,360
Speaker 5: I know you and Andy talked about this a little

2810
02:11:06,400 --> 02:11:08,560
Speaker 5: bit earlier, but the audience changes as we get into

2811
02:11:08,600 --> 02:11:11,640
Speaker 5: the morning and folks coming and going and affiliates coming

2812
02:11:11,680 --> 02:11:14,200
Speaker 5: in on the you know, the iHeartRadio app but it's

2813
02:11:14,200 --> 02:11:17,600
Speaker 5: certainly our four hundred plus affiliates nationwide. What we saw

2814
02:11:17,640 --> 02:11:21,080
Speaker 5: in Baltimore and Kansas City a lot of debate about

2815
02:11:21,680 --> 02:11:26,600
Speaker 5: offensive line alignment, movement, what's a penalty, what's not, points

2816
02:11:26,600 --> 02:11:31,160
Speaker 5: of emphasis, and such a lot of frustration, certainly from

2817
02:11:31,160 --> 02:11:33,960
Speaker 5: the raven side of things, for how things were called

2818
02:11:34,040 --> 02:11:37,960
Speaker 5: early in that game and then immediately because well, that's

2819
02:11:38,000 --> 02:11:40,440
Speaker 5: what happens in the social media world of screen grabs,

2820
02:11:40,440 --> 02:11:42,560
Speaker 5: et cetera. It's the all right, look at the right

2821
02:11:42,640 --> 02:11:45,480
Speaker 5: tackle there in Kansas City, he's off to the races

2822
02:11:45,520 --> 02:11:49,160
Speaker 5: on every pass blocking play long before the ball snaps. Like,

2823
02:11:49,360 --> 02:11:52,760
Speaker 5: how do we find a happy medium and how much

2824
02:11:52,800 --> 02:11:56,240
Speaker 5: do you expect play to be affected today coming out

2825
02:11:56,280 --> 02:11:58,920
Speaker 5: of a the criticism but the way of that game

2826
02:11:59,000 --> 02:12:01,040
Speaker 5: was adjudicated back on Thursday night.

2827
02:12:03,600 --> 02:12:07,680
Speaker 4: Look, there's always gonna be criticism, and I think the

2828
02:12:07,680 --> 02:12:10,800
Speaker 4: way that you want to kind of handle it is

2829
02:12:11,160 --> 02:12:14,360
Speaker 4: you just kind of have to understand the mechanics of

2830
02:12:15,240 --> 02:12:17,880
Speaker 4: the situation. You have to hope that you get it

2831
02:12:17,960 --> 02:12:20,320
Speaker 4: right and as a coach who as a player you

2832
02:12:20,400 --> 02:12:22,520
Speaker 4: got to live through some of the mistakes that kind

2833
02:12:22,520 --> 02:12:25,880
Speaker 4: of show up. Ultimately you try and take accountability by saying, hey, guys,

2834
02:12:25,880 --> 02:12:27,560
Speaker 4: we shouldn't be in this position because if we had

2835
02:12:27,560 --> 02:12:30,280
Speaker 4: done X, Y and Z earlier, it wouldn't come down

2836
02:12:30,360 --> 02:12:33,800
Speaker 4: to these final plays, of these final moments. But it's

2837
02:12:33,800 --> 02:12:36,360
Speaker 4: gonna be some of that. When you have humans making calls,

2838
02:12:36,400 --> 02:12:38,320
Speaker 4: you can have some human area, you can have some

2839
02:12:38,360 --> 02:12:39,280
Speaker 4: different interactions.

2840
02:12:39,480 --> 02:12:41,560
Speaker 5: This is where we get back to the old full

2841
02:12:41,600 --> 02:12:44,960
Speaker 5: time official and all of those discussions that we have

2842
02:12:45,040 --> 02:12:49,360
Speaker 5: every year, compensate higher and and all of those in

2843
02:12:49,480 --> 02:12:53,240
Speaker 5: terms of the points of emphasis and adjudicating these penalties,

2844
02:12:53,240 --> 02:12:56,839
Speaker 5: because let's face it, the spotlight is there. The estimate

2845
02:12:56,920 --> 02:13:01,880
Speaker 5: is thirty five billion dollars be legal this year. That

2846
02:13:01,920 --> 02:13:04,680
Speaker 5: doesn't even count shadow money or anything else flowing. And

2847
02:13:04,680 --> 02:13:06,640
Speaker 5: the fact that it's still illegal in California.

2848
02:13:07,920 --> 02:13:09,080
Speaker 4: Yeah, that's amazing.

2849
02:13:09,480 --> 02:13:13,360
Speaker 5: How about that? I mean the expansion and the growth

2850
02:13:13,400 --> 02:13:15,880
Speaker 5: of it, no question about it. But it means there's

2851
02:13:15,920 --> 02:13:19,680
Speaker 5: more eyes on it, and every play that looks quasi

2852
02:13:19,920 --> 02:13:25,800
Speaker 5: suspect or where consistency is lost, Yeah, it raises a

2853
02:13:25,800 --> 02:13:29,320
Speaker 5: lot of flags and speculation. Last one before we break

2854
02:13:29,360 --> 02:13:31,480
Speaker 5: and we'll get back into more of the on field

2855
02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:35,120
Speaker 5: stuff here. Well, I guess this is as well the

2856
02:13:35,160 --> 02:13:39,440
Speaker 5: Players Association. When do they start fighting back about the

2857
02:13:39,520 --> 02:13:42,160
Speaker 5: field conditions on these international surfaces.

2858
02:13:43,280 --> 02:13:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, I wonder, man see, because here's the thing. Players

2859
02:13:46,040 --> 02:13:48,160
Speaker 4: have always complained about it being on turf, So didn't

2860
02:13:48,160 --> 02:13:51,520
Speaker 4: they play on grass? But sometimes when you go out

2861
02:13:51,520 --> 02:13:53,480
Speaker 4: of the country to grass is different because it's been

2862
02:13:53,640 --> 02:13:57,000
Speaker 4: brought in. It hasn't been you know, developed and groomed

2863
02:13:57,040 --> 02:14:01,800
Speaker 4: and cultivated for scratch. It's always the potential of a

2864
02:14:01,880 --> 02:14:05,080
Speaker 4: mess when you go outside of like the normal situation

2865
02:14:05,160 --> 02:14:08,320
Speaker 4: where they play games. And you guys have talked about it.

2866
02:14:08,320 --> 02:14:10,400
Speaker 4: I heard you and Jason talk about it on your

2867
02:14:10,400 --> 02:14:15,680
Speaker 4: own show, like where the money grab right? Play for

2868
02:14:15,800 --> 02:14:18,600
Speaker 4: everybody of that. But but may if they're gonna pay

2869
02:14:18,680 --> 02:14:22,160
Speaker 4: us X amount of money, we're going to host these games.

2870
02:14:22,160 --> 02:14:23,720
Speaker 4: And even though you have to stay in a hotel

2871
02:14:23,800 --> 02:14:26,920
Speaker 4: for five days and not move or whatever this is

2872
02:14:26,960 --> 02:14:29,840
Speaker 4: going down, we are playing this game. And that's that's

2873
02:14:29,880 --> 02:14:31,920
Speaker 4: some of the stuff that that we tend to do

2874
02:14:31,960 --> 02:14:33,080
Speaker 4: when it comes to national football.

2875
02:14:33,280 --> 02:14:36,080
Speaker 5: Well, because also, as I tried to remind Jason as

2876
02:14:36,080 --> 02:14:39,480
Speaker 5: he went on, because look, the NFL has to wear

2877
02:14:39,600 --> 02:14:43,160
Speaker 5: all the pain of it, right and then certainly folks

2878
02:14:43,200 --> 02:14:45,520
Speaker 5: trying to figure out what Jordan Love's injury. How much

2879
02:14:45,600 --> 02:14:49,440
Speaker 5: is you know, cleek getting caught versus the unfortunate kind

2880
02:14:49,440 --> 02:14:51,800
Speaker 5: of getting wrapped up and and and hit as he

2881
02:14:51,920 --> 02:14:55,920
Speaker 5: as he was right, Uh, And it's just the idea

2882
02:14:56,000 --> 02:14:59,600
Speaker 5: that the players do get half the money, right, so

2883
02:14:59,640 --> 02:15:02,280
Speaker 5: when the he continues to expand, it's not Hey, the

2884
02:15:02,320 --> 02:15:04,600
Speaker 5: owners are the only ones benefiting from this. And I

2885
02:15:04,600 --> 02:15:08,560
Speaker 5: think that's that always needs to be We need to

2886
02:15:08,560 --> 02:15:12,160
Speaker 5: be mindful of that because the players have big decisions

2887
02:15:12,160 --> 02:15:14,560
Speaker 5: to make, and just taking an extra day off in

2888
02:15:14,600 --> 02:15:18,200
Speaker 5: the summer and giving up other things, which has sometimes

2889
02:15:18,240 --> 02:15:21,800
Speaker 5: been the norm it seems, you know, is something that

2890
02:15:21,840 --> 02:15:23,960
Speaker 5: needs to be fought. You know, we talk about the

2891
02:15:24,000 --> 02:15:27,080
Speaker 5: strata of players, the sixty million dollars versus the guys

2892
02:15:27,160 --> 02:15:30,160
Speaker 5: fighting to hang on the roster, get their service time,

2893
02:15:30,200 --> 02:15:35,200
Speaker 5: et cetera. And so their considerations short term are are

2894
02:15:35,440 --> 02:15:38,400
Speaker 5: never going to be the same. And what you're going

2895
02:15:38,480 --> 02:15:41,000
Speaker 5: to be able to get folks to give up is

2896
02:15:41,040 --> 02:15:44,040
Speaker 5: going to be vastly different depending on which part of

2897
02:15:44,080 --> 02:15:46,400
Speaker 5: the locker room you're talking to. And I think that's

2898
02:15:46,440 --> 02:15:48,800
Speaker 5: one of the hard parts and why the NFL always

2899
02:15:48,800 --> 02:15:51,240
Speaker 5: gets the upper hand and where you can force things

2900
02:15:51,280 --> 02:15:53,280
Speaker 5: like this, because there's now a report that they might

2901
02:15:53,560 --> 02:15:55,680
Speaker 5: try to double the number of international games.

2902
02:15:55,720 --> 02:16:01,520
Speaker 4: Again, it's just lucrative, depended upon how it's done, it's

2903
02:16:01,520 --> 02:16:05,120
Speaker 4: a very lucrative deal. The Jacksonville Jaguars have been on

2904
02:16:05,160 --> 02:16:07,920
Speaker 4: the front end of that, right so hosting two London games,

2905
02:16:07,960 --> 02:16:11,080
Speaker 4: one which is co sponsored by the NFL, the other

2906
02:16:11,240 --> 02:16:14,360
Speaker 4: which is done by the Jaguars and shot Con. They

2907
02:16:14,400 --> 02:16:17,440
Speaker 4: get all the cash from that. It's a cash cow.

2908
02:16:18,000 --> 02:16:20,280
Speaker 4: So when the Jaguars have one of those games and

2909
02:16:20,320 --> 02:16:23,800
Speaker 4: it's a sponsored game by Jacksonville, they get all the money.

2910
02:16:23,840 --> 02:16:26,000
Speaker 4: They don't have to share any of the receipts. All

2911
02:16:26,040 --> 02:16:27,920
Speaker 4: that money comes back to the team. And you know,

2912
02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:31,360
Speaker 4: when you put tickets up for whoever you want to

2913
02:16:31,360 --> 02:16:34,640
Speaker 4: play over in London, it sells out quickly. That is

2914
02:16:34,680 --> 02:16:36,959
Speaker 4: a lot of cash. And that's why there is disappeal

2915
02:16:37,080 --> 02:16:39,959
Speaker 4: to kind of expand beyond our borders when it comes

2916
02:16:39,959 --> 02:16:40,640
Speaker 4: to playing the game.

2917
02:16:40,879 --> 02:16:43,600
Speaker 5: Get in there and sell, sell, sell at Bucky Brooks

02:18:27,680 --> 02:18:30,959
Speaker 5: the game, inside the numbers and data to make you

2949
02:18:31,040 --> 02:18:36,519
Speaker 5: a winner at your man or you know, the online casinos,

2950
02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:40,279
Speaker 5: or the obviously the bar bets that we have going

2951
02:18:40,360 --> 02:18:43,240
Speaker 5: back all those years, Bucky. As we get ready for

2952
02:18:43,400 --> 02:18:46,279
Speaker 5: Week one, we've talked about a lot of the question marks,

2953
02:18:46,840 --> 02:18:50,920
Speaker 5: you know, the officiating points of emphasis, the heat in

2954
02:18:51,000 --> 02:18:54,120
Speaker 5: a number of spots, but certainly contracts have been the

2955
02:18:54,200 --> 02:18:56,840
Speaker 5: order of the day and a lot of times folks

2956
02:18:56,840 --> 02:18:59,640
Speaker 5: get bored with business. It seems this cycle of the

2957
02:18:59,760 --> 02:19:03,680
Speaker 5: n fell a lot more excitement, as it were, and

2958
02:19:04,240 --> 02:19:07,640
Speaker 5: interest because you have such luminarias as Dak Prescott. We

2959
02:19:07,720 --> 02:19:11,000
Speaker 5: saw what happened in San Francisco with both Brandon Ayuk

2960
02:19:11,520 --> 02:19:15,240
Speaker 5: and Trent Williams, both get paid but miss a significant

2961
02:19:15,280 --> 02:19:17,760
Speaker 5: amount of time. And for Ayuk, now the report is

2962
02:19:17,800 --> 02:19:20,080
Speaker 5: he's going to be on a snap count as they

2963
02:19:20,120 --> 02:19:23,160
Speaker 5: take on the Jets on Monday Night football. And you

2964
02:19:23,200 --> 02:19:25,160
Speaker 5: know he's a guy that might have gotten lost in

2965
02:19:25,200 --> 02:19:28,200
Speaker 5: the sauce and sauce gardener as it were. But now

2966
02:19:28,240 --> 02:19:30,920
Speaker 5: you've got to go and figure out how many snaps

2967
02:19:30,959 --> 02:19:34,520
Speaker 5: he's available for and how to best navigate because you

2968
02:19:34,640 --> 02:19:36,720
Speaker 5: lost the guy that you drafted to be part of

2969
02:19:36,760 --> 02:19:41,280
Speaker 5: the compliment in Pearceoll with the shooting incident a week ago.

2970
02:19:41,440 --> 02:19:43,360
Speaker 5: So all of that to say, and then you've got

2971
02:19:43,400 --> 02:19:46,760
Speaker 5: Cincinnati where you've got t Higgins and Jamar Chase and

2972
02:19:46,800 --> 02:19:49,200
Speaker 5: I know for our guy Andy Furman, a lot of

2973
02:19:49,280 --> 02:19:51,800
Speaker 5: hand ringing on this one. They've got New England this week.

2974
02:19:51,840 --> 02:19:54,480
Speaker 5: But you know there's no lightweights in any of this,

2975
02:19:54,800 --> 02:19:58,080
Speaker 5: and especially in a week one. But how much do

2976
02:19:58,160 --> 02:20:00,600
Speaker 5: you think the contracts would go back to Dallas with

2977
02:20:00,640 --> 02:20:03,680
Speaker 5: the guys that didn't get paid to wear This lingers

2978
02:20:03,760 --> 02:20:08,920
Speaker 5: into the season and causes some problems in the locker room.

2979
02:20:08,000 --> 02:20:11,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, so to think about all of this, right, So

2980
02:20:11,400 --> 02:20:14,400
Speaker 4: when we get to the contract situations, there's always like

2981
02:20:14,520 --> 02:20:18,039
Speaker 4: a kind of like an unwritten rule. Right, you don't

2982
02:20:18,040 --> 02:20:19,320
Speaker 4: count somebody else's money.

2983
02:20:19,400 --> 02:20:19,879
Speaker 5: Sure, of course.

2984
02:20:19,920 --> 02:20:23,760
Speaker 4: However, when you have a bunch of different people holding

2985
02:20:23,840 --> 02:20:26,360
Speaker 4: out and looking around and contracts and you know how

2986
02:20:26,400 --> 02:20:28,600
Speaker 4: those contracts are going to play out on the rest

2987
02:20:28,640 --> 02:20:32,039
Speaker 4: of the room, it can create a weird dynamic. For instance,

2988
02:20:32,080 --> 02:20:35,039
Speaker 4: in San Francisco. Right, players are not immune to what

2989
02:20:35,120 --> 02:20:38,080
Speaker 4: people are speculating. So when Brandon Ayuk signs his deal

2990
02:20:38,120 --> 02:20:41,400
Speaker 4: for the money, automatically people start saying, oh, well, this

2991
02:20:41,440 --> 02:20:43,680
Speaker 4: is Deebo Samuel's last year with the team because Brock

2992
02:20:43,720 --> 02:20:46,760
Speaker 4: Perdy has to be signed. You're Deebo Samuel. How do

2993
02:20:46,760 --> 02:20:49,199
Speaker 4: you feel sitting in there? Brandon Aiyuk got his deal,

2994
02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:52,120
Speaker 4: you have yours, but everyone is talking about you're out.

2995
02:20:52,320 --> 02:20:54,640
Speaker 4: Can you put that to the side and say, hey,

2996
02:20:54,680 --> 02:20:57,720
Speaker 4: Brandon and I are gonna work together and play really well,

2997
02:20:57,840 --> 02:21:00,160
Speaker 4: I don't have any you know. Like, there's a lot

2998
02:21:00,240 --> 02:21:03,199
Speaker 4: of different stuff. Kyle Ucheck has to take a pay cut,

2999
02:21:03,240 --> 02:21:05,800
Speaker 4: but yet they pay Trent Williams, So there's a lot.

3000
02:21:05,959 --> 02:21:08,360
Speaker 5: Also, I had to restructure a bunch of money on

3001
02:21:08,480 --> 02:21:13,440
Speaker 5: his deal. Right, Yeah, he had stuff and.

3002
02:21:13,640 --> 02:21:15,120
Speaker 4: Do some of that stuff and maybe some of that

3003
02:21:15,160 --> 02:21:19,000
Speaker 4: will self preservation to help him stay around beyond this year.

3004
02:21:19,400 --> 02:21:21,600
Speaker 4: But Cale Yucheck had to take a pay cut, and

3005
02:21:21,640 --> 02:21:23,280
Speaker 4: he's looking around like, wait, mane, I got to take

3006
02:21:23,280 --> 02:21:25,959
Speaker 4: a cut. But Trent Williams getting more money, I got Christian,

3007
02:21:25,640 --> 02:21:29,840
Speaker 4: but Caffrey behind me getting money, Deebo, all these guys

3008
02:21:29,840 --> 02:21:32,040
Speaker 4: getting money. Why do I have to take a cut?

3009
02:21:32,200 --> 02:21:34,640
Speaker 5: So especial because jas Williams had three years left on

3010
02:21:34,640 --> 02:21:37,199
Speaker 5: his deal. Like, that's the thing I think that stood

3011
02:21:37,200 --> 02:21:37,720
Speaker 5: out most.

3012
02:21:38,800 --> 02:21:42,480
Speaker 4: Yeah, and that's the part pat Riley used to say this.

3013
02:21:42,520 --> 02:21:45,320
Speaker 4: It's called the disease of me because everyone feels like

3014
02:21:45,320 --> 02:21:47,920
Speaker 4: they played a greater role than the team's success and

3015
02:21:47,959 --> 02:21:50,560
Speaker 4: they want to be rewarded for it. That's where we're

3016
02:21:50,600 --> 02:21:53,080
Speaker 4: at right now when you are talking about the San

3017
02:21:53,120 --> 02:21:55,000
Speaker 4: Francisco forty nine. So how do they put all that

3018
02:21:55,080 --> 02:21:58,520
Speaker 4: aside and play? Well, they can do it, but it's

3019
02:21:58,560 --> 02:22:01,360
Speaker 4: more challenging to be able to do it now because

3020
02:22:01,360 --> 02:22:03,280
Speaker 4: of all of that. And then in Cincinnati, when you

3021
02:22:03,280 --> 02:22:07,080
Speaker 4: talk about the deals, you got Jamar Chase and t Higgins, Right,

3022
02:22:07,120 --> 02:22:09,160
Speaker 4: t Higgins couldn't get his deal, so he had to

3023
02:22:09,200 --> 02:22:12,120
Speaker 4: sign the franchise tag. But he has to feel some

3024
02:22:12,200 --> 02:22:14,080
Speaker 4: kind of way when he looks as his teammate Jamar

3025
02:22:14,160 --> 02:22:18,360
Speaker 4: Chase holding in and potentially about to get a deal.

3026
02:22:18,720 --> 02:22:20,600
Speaker 4: How do you think he's gonna feel when Jamar Chase

3027
02:22:20,640 --> 02:22:23,760
Speaker 4: signs his deal knowing that, wait a minute, you guys

3028
02:22:23,800 --> 02:22:25,960
Speaker 4: have signed Jamar to keep him here, but you won't

3029
02:22:25,959 --> 02:22:29,360
Speaker 4: sign me. Oh, maybe I need to take the first

3030
02:22:29,360 --> 02:22:32,680
Speaker 4: week off. My back is a little tight, you know,

3031
02:22:33,400 --> 02:22:37,039
Speaker 4: So any of those things, there's a lot of there's

3032
02:22:37,080 --> 02:22:39,120
Speaker 4: a lot of little stuff that can go on like

3033
02:22:40,360 --> 02:22:44,720
Speaker 4: and that's why whatever your policy is, you gotta stay

3034
02:22:44,760 --> 02:22:47,240
Speaker 4: true to it, because if you start waffling, like it

3035
02:22:47,240 --> 02:22:50,560
Speaker 4: appears to Bengals are waffling, you got people confused because

3036
02:22:50,560 --> 02:22:53,240
Speaker 4: they haven't done it before, like a Jamar Chase type deal.

3037
02:22:53,400 --> 02:22:54,280
Speaker 4: It's a different deal.

3038
02:22:54,400 --> 02:22:58,120
Speaker 5: Well that's that you go, h owner, the owner and

3039
02:22:58,160 --> 02:23:01,879
Speaker 5: the situation, the situation. Samforti has been creative and you've

3040
02:23:01,920 --> 02:23:08,280
Speaker 5: seen the continuity with Cincinnati, the longstanding legacy of for

3041
02:23:08,400 --> 02:23:11,760
Speaker 5: lack of a better term, cheapness in their flow. And

3042
02:23:11,800 --> 02:23:15,560
Speaker 5: then Jerry has historically caved in the eleventh hour no

3043
02:23:15,600 --> 02:23:18,360
Speaker 5: matter how hard a line he seemed to be negotiating.

3044
02:23:18,640 --> 02:23:21,640
Speaker 5: But here we go into the season. CD got his money.

3045
02:23:22,200 --> 02:23:24,520
Speaker 5: You still got Dak doing the rounds, you know, for

3046
02:23:24,640 --> 02:23:29,040
Speaker 5: interviews this weekend ahead of the big date against Cleveland,

3047
02:23:29,320 --> 02:23:32,040
Speaker 5: and then Michaeh Parsons in the background, who the last

3048
02:23:32,120 --> 02:23:35,280
Speaker 5: time we saw on tape he was he was like

3049
02:23:35,320 --> 02:23:37,440
Speaker 5: he was wearing a cloak of invisibility. He was like

3050
02:23:37,480 --> 02:23:40,560
Speaker 5: out of Harry Potter. Against the Packers, he was a

3051
02:23:40,600 --> 02:23:45,080
Speaker 5: non factor as that defense got absolutely worked from pillar

3052
02:23:45,120 --> 02:23:49,160
Speaker 5: to post. So, yeah, in Dallas, you've got all right,

3053
02:23:49,560 --> 02:23:51,879
Speaker 5: the guy actually learned new tricks at age eighty two.

3054
02:23:54,040 --> 02:23:57,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, you do have some of that, you know, and

3055
02:23:58,200 --> 02:24:01,760
Speaker 4: what you're wondering. So in Dallas the situation, okay, we

3056
02:24:02,200 --> 02:24:05,520
Speaker 4: drug our feet forever and then we waited to pay

3057
02:24:05,600 --> 02:24:09,600
Speaker 4: CD lamb. We couldn't get that deal done sooner. What

3058
02:24:09,640 --> 02:24:12,520
Speaker 4: are we going to do with the quarterback? You know,

3059
02:24:12,720 --> 02:24:16,119
Speaker 4: the quarterback is going to command about sixty million plus.

3060
02:24:16,680 --> 02:24:18,320
Speaker 4: All right, we can play it out. We're mad at

3061
02:24:18,360 --> 02:24:20,840
Speaker 4: him because of the way the Packers game went, all right,

3062
02:24:20,879 --> 02:24:24,440
Speaker 4: all right, but don't let your emotions cost you, I

3063
02:24:24,440 --> 02:24:27,680
Speaker 4: don't know, forty extra million dollars if you know he's

3064
02:24:27,720 --> 02:24:28,720
Speaker 4: gonna be your quarterback.

3065
02:24:28,840 --> 02:24:29,879
Speaker 5: Penny Wise.

3066
02:24:32,959 --> 02:24:35,800
Speaker 4: Just yeah, just just what are we what are we doing?

3067
02:24:35,920 --> 02:24:38,520
Speaker 4: What are we proving when we go about doing those

3068
02:24:38,520 --> 02:24:42,080
Speaker 4: things like that? So I don't know, but I would

3069
02:24:42,080 --> 02:24:44,879
Speaker 4: say as a fan, I would be annoyed. And I

3070
02:24:44,879 --> 02:24:48,440
Speaker 4: always take it from the team the player's standpoint, primarily like, Okay,

3071
02:24:48,480 --> 02:24:50,480
Speaker 4: everyone wants to get paid, but yeah, it's a it's

3072
02:24:50,480 --> 02:24:52,920
Speaker 4: a different deal. It's kind of hard to look at

3073
02:24:53,000 --> 02:24:54,920
Speaker 4: and understand what's going on, what's happening.

3074
02:24:55,080 --> 02:24:58,720
Speaker 5: Well, I think that the curiosity and the Dak conversation

3075
02:24:58,920 --> 02:25:02,879
Speaker 5: is always interesting, and we we put off to the side,

3076
02:25:03,000 --> 02:25:07,279
Speaker 5: you know, and just stipulate that the Cowboys being historically

3077
02:25:07,360 --> 02:25:11,440
Speaker 5: quote unquote America's team and all the extra motivation you know,

3078
02:25:11,520 --> 02:25:14,680
Speaker 5: the daily TV shows and certainly us on radio, they

3079
02:25:14,920 --> 02:25:17,200
Speaker 5: move the needle, which is why no matter how good

3080
02:25:17,280 --> 02:25:20,240
Speaker 5: or bad they are, they're still in that late window

3081
02:25:20,480 --> 02:25:24,119
Speaker 5: or in primetime quite often. But it's also the idea

3082
02:25:24,240 --> 02:25:26,760
Speaker 5: for a guy like Dak, you know, where it becomes

3083
02:25:26,760 --> 02:25:28,800
Speaker 5: the well, he's not him. It's like, well who is

3084
02:25:29,920 --> 02:25:33,320
Speaker 5: right now? It's Patrick Mahomes and everybody else fighting for

3085
02:25:33,400 --> 02:25:36,440
Speaker 5: that next spot, and we can fight about tears, and

3086
02:25:36,480 --> 02:25:39,520
Speaker 5: we could decide whose style we like more than the

3087
02:25:39,640 --> 02:25:42,120
Speaker 5: other and and all of that stuff. They've won double

3088
02:25:42,120 --> 02:25:45,440
Speaker 5: digit games three straight years. And while you may not,

3089
02:25:45,560 --> 02:25:47,920
Speaker 5: he may not be your cup of tea, there's I

3090
02:25:47,959 --> 02:25:52,120
Speaker 5: think what twenty five teams that would clamor to say, yeah,

3091
02:25:52,120 --> 02:25:55,199
Speaker 5: we'd love to pay him when it's all said and done.

3092
02:25:55,320 --> 02:25:59,080
Speaker 5: Maybe not as you know, boisterously, because they think they've

3093
02:25:59,120 --> 02:26:02,480
Speaker 5: got a guy. But Dak's right there with most.

3094
02:26:02,280 --> 02:26:07,920
Speaker 4: Of them, absolutely. And that's the thing because, and here's

3095
02:26:07,920 --> 02:26:10,959
Speaker 4: what Dak also knows, if you don't pay me, somebody

3096
02:26:11,000 --> 02:26:14,440
Speaker 4: else will. And the fear factor that most players used

3097
02:26:14,440 --> 02:26:17,800
Speaker 4: to have, Dak has already gone through that fire. So

3098
02:26:17,840 --> 02:26:19,920
Speaker 4: the fear was, well, I need to sign this deal

3099
02:26:19,959 --> 02:26:21,760
Speaker 4: before the season because if I get hurt, I won't

3100
02:26:21,800 --> 02:26:25,240
Speaker 4: get my money. Dak Prescott didn't sign this thing, played

3101
02:26:25,240 --> 02:26:28,600
Speaker 4: on a franchise tag saw his foot pointing one way

3102
02:26:28,640 --> 02:26:32,160
Speaker 4: and his body in the different direction, and he still

3103
02:26:32,200 --> 02:26:35,600
Speaker 4: got paid. So he knows that no matter what, I'm

3104
02:26:35,640 --> 02:26:38,560
Speaker 4: going to get paid. So I'll wait this out. And

3105
02:26:38,680 --> 02:26:41,440
Speaker 4: as long as I waited out, I know that the

3106
02:26:41,520 --> 02:26:45,440
Speaker 4: price always goes up, it never goes down. So it's

3107
02:26:45,480 --> 02:26:46,000
Speaker 4: gonna be an.

3108
02:26:45,879 --> 02:26:48,680
Speaker 5: Issue an excitement there. Let's go on to the field

3109
02:26:48,720 --> 02:26:52,640
Speaker 5: for one situation. We've talked about it add nauseum over

3110
02:26:52,680 --> 02:26:56,440
Speaker 5: the course of the offseason, but it's the situation in Pittsburgh,

3111
02:26:56,600 --> 02:27:00,959
Speaker 5: the Russell Wilson testing things out. I think as long

3112
02:27:01,000 --> 02:27:04,760
Speaker 5: as he can stay upright, I think Mike Tomblin stays

3113
02:27:04,800 --> 02:27:06,800
Speaker 5: with him. We talked about it a little bit last

3114
02:27:06,800 --> 02:27:10,200
Speaker 5: week because of ball security, but that doesn't mean there's

3115
02:27:10,200 --> 02:27:12,680
Speaker 5: not a lot of folks clamoring to see justin fields

3116
02:27:12,840 --> 02:27:17,320
Speaker 5: and Arthur Smith's offense, perhaps a new play caller, a

3117
02:27:17,360 --> 02:27:20,840
Speaker 5: new design could actually make him a better quarterback than

3118
02:27:20,879 --> 02:27:21,400
Speaker 5: what he's been.

3119
02:27:23,640 --> 02:27:28,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, it'd be interested to see what kind of offense

3120
02:27:29,280 --> 02:27:32,240
Speaker 4: it looks like and how it continues to expand and evolve.

3121
02:27:32,600 --> 02:27:36,359
Speaker 4: You always want to do things built around your best players,

3122
02:27:36,680 --> 02:27:39,360
Speaker 4: and you want to do it what also kind of

3123
02:27:39,440 --> 02:27:42,520
Speaker 4: masking some of the tennessees that your players have and

3124
02:27:42,560 --> 02:27:46,640
Speaker 4: those those things. With the opening of the season, with

3125
02:27:46,680 --> 02:27:48,560
Speaker 4: all the work that has been done, you're trying to

3126
02:27:48,560 --> 02:27:50,119
Speaker 4: put it all together. But it's gonna be a work

3127
02:27:50,160 --> 02:27:52,440
Speaker 4: in progress. So we mean, I really know what this

3128
02:27:52,520 --> 02:27:55,480
Speaker 4: looks like until we get the week four and Week five,

3129
02:27:55,640 --> 02:27:58,120
Speaker 4: when everyone kind of stills in and you kind of

3130
02:27:58,160 --> 02:28:00,600
Speaker 4: know what your person there really can do. Game action

3131
02:28:00,840 --> 02:28:03,320
Speaker 4: forty look, yeah it'll be interesting.

3132
02:28:03,480 --> 02:28:06,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, forty two's the total for this one. Atlanta four

3133
02:28:06,120 --> 02:28:09,640
Speaker 5: point favorite at home. A lot of excitement and to

3134
02:28:09,720 --> 02:28:12,720
Speaker 5: some analysis, hey they're gonna run away with that division.

3135
02:28:12,959 --> 02:28:16,920
Speaker 5: I don't necessarily subscribe to that. With Captain Kirkin company,

3136
02:28:17,400 --> 02:28:21,959
Speaker 5: certainly they've got potentially a potent offense there. Pittsburgh's defense

3137
02:28:22,040 --> 02:28:24,960
Speaker 5: would talk about a test right, a matchup of Will's

3138
02:28:25,040 --> 02:28:27,960
Speaker 5: right here what Atlanta can bring to the table offensively

3139
02:28:28,000 --> 02:28:30,720
Speaker 5: in Pittsburgh at full health defensively one of the more

3140
02:28:30,760 --> 02:28:32,119
Speaker 5: intriguing matchups of Week one.

3141
02:28:34,720 --> 02:28:38,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is a very intriguing matchup Atlanta because of

3142
02:28:38,640 --> 02:28:41,160
Speaker 4: the fast start. Debrahem Morris wants to get out to

3143
02:28:41,240 --> 02:28:42,840
Speaker 4: didn't play any of the guys, but when I talk

3144
02:28:42,920 --> 02:28:45,160
Speaker 4: to guys down there, they talked about the simulated games

3145
02:28:45,440 --> 02:28:48,040
Speaker 4: that they had on multiple occasions to get the team ready.

3146
02:28:48,320 --> 02:28:50,600
Speaker 4: He was really impacted about what he saw from the

3147
02:28:50,640 --> 02:28:53,560
Speaker 4: Rams and how the Rams approached things to help their

3148
02:28:53,600 --> 02:28:58,240
Speaker 4: team get to the starting line with everybody ready to rock. Now,

3149
02:28:58,320 --> 02:29:02,120
Speaker 4: it's about performing, performing under pressure and making sure you

3150
02:29:02,120 --> 02:29:05,040
Speaker 4: can deliver when you need to be at your best.

3151
02:29:06,080 --> 02:29:07,959
Speaker 4: Can they put it together and do it? They should

3152
02:29:07,959 --> 02:29:10,959
Speaker 4: be able to offensively, they have enough firepower, but dan

3153
02:29:11,040 --> 02:29:13,120
Speaker 4: Kin Kirk Cousins kind of get them to the next level.

3154
02:29:13,280 --> 02:29:16,560
Speaker 5: See how mobile he is moving laterally coming off the

3155
02:29:16,600 --> 02:29:19,520
Speaker 5: big injury. Not that he was, you know, captain mobility

3156
02:29:19,560 --> 02:29:23,400
Speaker 5: and rushing for forty yards a game anyway, but certainly

3157
02:29:23,440 --> 02:29:27,800
Speaker 5: always those questions with Michael Pennix Junior over his shoulder.

3158
02:29:28,000 --> 02:29:30,040
Speaker 5: He's Bucky Brooks at Bucky Brooks where you find and

3159
02:29:30,120 --> 02:29:32,520
Speaker 5: find me over at Swollen Dome. A couple more games

3160
02:29:32,520 --> 02:29:35,840
Speaker 5: and situations we want to get to as the hour progresses,

3161
02:29:35,879 --> 02:29:37,600
Speaker 5: But first we're gonna turn it over to our guy,

3162
02:29:38,160 --> 02:29:41,560
Speaker 5: a legend, a Hall of Famer at Isaac Loehenkron where

3163
02:29:41,560 --> 02:29:44,600
Speaker 5: you find him. He's Bucky Brooks, Nemesis. It's Isaac Love

3164
02:29:45,000 --> 02:29:47,959
Speaker 5: Ryan Hollins, Nemesis. You fight with everybody.

3165
02:29:48,000 --> 02:29:50,959
Speaker 3: But well, that's true. I would I would prefer to

3166
02:29:51,000 --> 02:29:52,400
Speaker 3: deem it creative tension.

3167
02:29:52,879 --> 02:29:54,920
Speaker 5: Oh, I like that. That's a good journey. That's good.

3168
02:29:54,959 --> 02:29:57,440
Speaker 3: Bucky and I have been good ever since I forgave

3169
02:29:57,520 --> 02:29:59,240
Speaker 3: him from what the Jaguars did to the Chargers.

3170
02:29:59,240 --> 02:29:59,959
Speaker 2: A couple of years ago.

3171
02:30:00,200 --> 02:30:03,640
Speaker 3: But that is as they say, spilt milk under the bridge,

3172
02:30:03,680 --> 02:30:05,800
Speaker 3: speaking of legends and Hall of famers. By the way,

3173
02:30:06,040 --> 02:30:09,280
Speaker 3: beautiful Gail Sayers, jersey worn by you.

3174
02:30:09,600 --> 02:30:11,680
Speaker 5: No, you know what we had. We had a listener

3175
02:30:11,840 --> 02:30:14,920
Speaker 5: sent decided he didn't want anything in his closet anymore.

3176
02:30:15,680 --> 02:30:19,560
Speaker 5: So this showed up and now it fits me beautifully. Hey, Bucky,

3177
02:30:19,640 --> 02:30:23,280
Speaker 5: I'm resplendent. He is respond the jersey right now.

3178
02:30:23,440 --> 02:30:25,959
Speaker 4: I love it. It's a return zero.

3179
02:30:25,959 --> 02:30:28,360
Speaker 5: Return to glory today. That and he can't be bad

3180
02:30:28,520 --> 02:30:31,360
Speaker 5: on the field to make me regret wearing it like that.

3181
02:30:31,480 --> 02:30:33,959
Speaker 5: Jake Cutler, suresey that I born all those.

3182
02:30:33,800 --> 02:30:39,520
Speaker 3: Years right, that's a good point out legends, Yes, legends

3183
02:30:39,600 --> 02:30:42,480
Speaker 3: never disappointed. Number two Ohio State did not disappoint on

3184
02:30:42,520 --> 02:30:45,080
Speaker 3: Saturday night in college football. They shout out Western Michigan

3185
02:30:45,160 --> 02:30:48,520
Speaker 3: fifty six to nothing. Number four Alabama over South Florida

3186
02:30:48,600 --> 02:30:50,760
Speaker 3: forty two to sixteen, But this was a one point

3187
02:30:50,800 --> 02:30:52,680
Speaker 3: game with ten or five left in the fourth quarter.

3188
02:30:53,080 --> 02:30:55,760
Speaker 3: Alabama outscored South Florida the rest of the way, twenty

3189
02:30:55,800 --> 02:30:58,680
Speaker 3: eight to three. Seventh ranked Oregon if he did Boise

3190
02:30:58,840 --> 02:31:03,279
Speaker 3: State thirty seven to thirty four, as Oregon's Atticus Sappington

3191
02:31:03,440 --> 02:31:05,800
Speaker 3: kicked the game winning twenty five yard field goal at

3192
02:31:05,800 --> 02:31:08,720
Speaker 3: the gun. No word yet if Atticus was previously on

3193
02:31:08,800 --> 02:31:12,880
Speaker 3: the scout team anyway elsewhere. On Saturday night, Number thirteen

3194
02:31:13,160 --> 02:31:15,119
Speaker 3: USC defeated Utah State.

3195
02:31:15,080 --> 02:31:16,199
Speaker 2: Forty eight to nothing.

3196
02:31:17,000 --> 02:31:19,240
Speaker 3: In Major League Baseball, on Saturday night at the Los

3197
02:31:19,280 --> 02:31:21,879
Speaker 3: Angeles Dodgers defeated the Cleveland Guardians seven to two.

3198
02:31:21,879 --> 02:31:23,800
Speaker 2: They scored six runs of the first inning.

3199
02:31:23,840 --> 02:31:26,000
Speaker 3: Now lead the nl West by five over the Padres,

3200
02:31:26,040 --> 02:31:28,360
Speaker 3: who lost to the Giants six to three. Of San Francisco,

3201
02:31:28,440 --> 02:31:31,400
Speaker 3: rookie Grant McCrae at two home runs had five RBI

3202
02:31:31,800 --> 02:31:35,440
Speaker 3: in the WNBA, The Chicago Sky announced star rookie Angel

3203
02:31:35,480 --> 02:31:38,800
Speaker 3: Rees sustained a season ending wrist injury in a game

3204
02:31:38,879 --> 02:31:43,000
Speaker 3: on Friday night. Finally, Mike and Bucky. Among the NFL's

3205
02:31:43,120 --> 02:31:46,200
Speaker 3: eight early games today, the Cincinnati Bengals hosting the New

3206
02:31:46,240 --> 02:31:49,920
Speaker 3: England Patriots, and one unnamed Bengals fan appears to be

3207
02:31:49,959 --> 02:31:53,440
Speaker 3: in mid season form already. He just posted a video

3208
02:31:53,520 --> 02:31:57,680
Speaker 3: of himself opening a can of beer by smashing it

3209
02:31:57,800 --> 02:32:02,480
Speaker 3: against his forehead five times and then shotgunning it as

3210
02:32:02,520 --> 02:32:04,879
Speaker 3: it sprayed out a skill, no doubt, learned at the

3211
02:32:04,879 --> 02:32:08,680
Speaker 3: Little Gentleman Gentleman's finishing school. Back to you, well, I mean, look,

3212
02:32:08,680 --> 02:32:10,320
Speaker 3: if you're gonna do something, do it with style.

3213
02:32:10,400 --> 02:32:12,320
Speaker 5: Right. It's like my white Sox and there one hundred

3214
02:32:12,320 --> 02:32:15,000
Speaker 5: and eleven losses. If you're gonna fail, fail spectacularly.

3215
02:32:15,760 --> 02:32:16,520
Speaker 1: It was more.

3216
02:32:16,600 --> 02:32:19,440
Speaker 3: Brute force than style in this case. Actually, you know what,

3217
02:32:19,520 --> 02:32:21,640
Speaker 3: when he was shot gunning it, that was the style portion.

3218
02:32:21,720 --> 02:32:25,320
Speaker 5: I suppose did he do it again? Like, that's the question?

3219
02:32:25,440 --> 02:32:28,080
Speaker 5: Did he come back with that routine for a second beer?

3220
02:32:28,520 --> 02:32:31,200
Speaker 5: That's what we need our crack staff. I got on

3221
02:32:31,240 --> 02:32:33,400
Speaker 5: the on the on the ground there to find out.

3222
02:32:33,440 --> 02:32:36,440
Speaker 12: I got the answer, Yeah he did, and a third

3223
02:32:36,720 --> 02:32:40,440
Speaker 12: and a fourth probably yeah, and until where it looks

3224
02:32:40,480 --> 02:32:43,760
Speaker 12: like a tattoo on his forehead the logo of said brand.

3225
02:32:43,800 --> 02:32:46,120
Speaker 5: What do you think of that? Bucky h and every

3226
02:32:46,360 --> 02:32:49,440
Speaker 5: you know pregame. I mean, my brothers haded to Soldier

3227
02:32:49,480 --> 02:32:53,000
Speaker 5: Field for you know, the Caleb Williams coronation and everything.

3228
02:32:53,040 --> 02:32:54,959
Speaker 5: But I don't know that he'll run into any of that.

3229
02:32:55,680 --> 02:32:58,200
Speaker 5: But curious, I mean, we'll have tables later. Right, we

3230
02:32:58,240 --> 02:33:01,359
Speaker 5: got Arizona Buffalo, so oh, you know we've got chaos

3231
02:33:01,360 --> 02:33:02,000
Speaker 5: all across.

3232
02:33:03,520 --> 02:33:06,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of chaos. It should be Uh. That

3233
02:33:06,680 --> 02:33:09,600
Speaker 4: Buffalo Arizona game is one to watch just because I

3234
02:33:09,640 --> 02:33:11,240
Speaker 4: want to see if Josh Allen can do the Pat

3235
02:33:11,240 --> 02:33:13,960
Speaker 4: Mahomes thing. We have talked about him in the same light,

3236
02:33:14,040 --> 02:33:16,800
Speaker 4: in the same vein as Pat Mahomes, but now we

3237
02:33:16,840 --> 02:33:19,640
Speaker 4: get a chance to see if he can elevate a

3238
02:33:19,640 --> 02:33:22,640
Speaker 4: wide receiver cord. It doesn't have a notable name amongst

3239
02:33:22,680 --> 02:33:25,439
Speaker 4: it if we talk about.

3240
02:33:25,240 --> 02:33:29,520
Speaker 5: Him, Yeah, yeah, Colman, sir and the tight ends. So yeah,

3241
02:33:29,520 --> 02:33:31,640
Speaker 5: it's all about the you know, Josh Allen for the

3242
02:33:31,920 --> 02:33:35,039
Speaker 5: intriguing right because the other side, Kyler Murray looked like

3243
02:33:35,080 --> 02:33:38,680
Speaker 5: a video game avatar last year as he was running

3244
02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:41,160
Speaker 5: around when he was finally healthy. And you bring in

3245
02:33:41,200 --> 02:33:44,000
Speaker 5: Marvin Harrison Junior. Total on this one is forty seven.

3246
02:33:44,440 --> 02:33:46,920
Speaker 5: I think it's one of the at least from a

3247
02:33:47,160 --> 02:33:50,280
Speaker 5: kickback after slamming a beer against your head five times,

3248
02:33:50,680 --> 02:33:53,000
Speaker 5: one of the games of the day.

3249
02:33:54,040 --> 02:33:56,280
Speaker 4: It is a good game. It should be an outstanding game.

3250
02:33:56,320 --> 02:33:58,640
Speaker 4: And the great thing about the beginning of the regular season,

3251
02:33:59,080 --> 02:34:01,560
Speaker 4: what we think we know, We have no idea. There

3252
02:34:01,560 --> 02:34:04,800
Speaker 4: are teams that we are ready to anoint as the

3253
02:34:04,840 --> 02:34:07,360
Speaker 4: next race team, and we have no idea whether they're

3254
02:34:07,360 --> 02:34:09,480
Speaker 4: gonna be good or not. And there's some teams that

3255
02:34:09,520 --> 02:34:12,840
Speaker 4: we haven't talked about, that we've ignored that are ready

3256
02:34:12,879 --> 02:34:15,040
Speaker 4: to take the next step. That's what's so great about

3257
02:34:15,080 --> 02:34:17,320
Speaker 4: the football. It is the one game where your team

3258
02:34:17,400 --> 02:34:21,360
Speaker 4: legitimately can go from worse to first in one offseason.

3259
02:34:21,400 --> 02:34:24,520
Speaker 4: One change, whether it's a coaching change or whatever. You

3260
02:34:24,560 --> 02:34:27,400
Speaker 4: can quickly flip your fortunes in the league because the

3261
02:34:27,480 --> 02:34:30,160
Speaker 4: league is set up where everyone is not in eight

3262
02:34:30,200 --> 02:34:34,440
Speaker 4: to nine, so it only takes a few lucky bounces

3263
02:34:34,480 --> 02:34:36,480
Speaker 4: to go your way to find yourself with a top

3264
02:34:36,520 --> 02:34:40,160
Speaker 4: seed and playing in a championship game i e. The

3265
02:34:40,200 --> 02:34:43,120
Speaker 4: Detroit Lions and how they have quickly advanced to being

3266
02:34:43,200 --> 02:34:44,880
Speaker 4: in the conversation as a title contender.

3267
02:34:45,160 --> 02:34:48,680
Speaker 5: Build a culture and hope the football gods smile on

3268
02:34:48,760 --> 02:34:52,720
Speaker 5: your trainer's room. That's one of the big things. As

3269
02:34:52,760 --> 02:34:55,320
Speaker 5: well as we have the War of Attrition, the first

3270
02:34:55,360 --> 02:34:59,920
Speaker 5: of seventeen games for mostly team. We got eighteen weeks

3271
02:35:00,320 --> 02:35:03,720
Speaker 5: here of National Football League action to come. We'll talk

3272
02:35:03,720 --> 02:35:07,080
Speaker 5: about a couple more games and some highlights, some potential

3273
02:35:07,160 --> 02:35:10,000
Speaker 5: breakout stars here as we continue, He's Bucky Brooks on

3274
02:35:10,080 --> 02:35:14,080
Speaker 5: by Carbon here on Fox Football Sunday. Hey, welcome back

3275
02:35:14,120 --> 02:35:17,160
Speaker 5: in It's Fox Football Sunday. Here Fox Sports or Radio

3276
02:35:17,200 --> 02:35:20,600
Speaker 5: Mike Carbon alongside Bucky Brooks. At Bucky Brooks where you

3277
02:35:20,640 --> 02:35:24,600
Speaker 5: find him. He's hydrating. He's getting ready to stand in

3278
02:35:24,600 --> 02:35:29,160
Speaker 5: one hundred degree heat waiting for a big showdown between

3279
02:35:29,200 --> 02:35:33,279
Speaker 5: the Jaguars and the Dolphins, one of the main marquee

3280
02:35:33,320 --> 02:35:36,920
Speaker 5: games of a week one slate replete with big storylines

3281
02:35:37,000 --> 02:35:40,400
Speaker 5: and curiosities, one of which we're talking about a little

3282
02:35:40,440 --> 02:35:43,480
Speaker 5: bit here by folks down in the Tampa area living

3283
02:35:43,520 --> 02:35:46,160
Speaker 5: in clear Water. They're looking at the Buccaneers off a

3284
02:35:46,200 --> 02:35:50,560
Speaker 5: big season at Baker Mayfield Reclamation Project with Dave Canallis

3285
02:35:50,560 --> 02:35:55,560
Speaker 5: who heads off to Carolina, but Washington and the Commanders

3286
02:35:55,640 --> 02:35:58,879
Speaker 5: Cliff Kingsbury the new oc. There a lot of change

3287
02:35:58,959 --> 02:36:04,680
Speaker 5: for the Commanders, but for Daniels rookie QB maybe loving

3288
02:36:04,720 --> 02:36:07,760
Speaker 5: the fact that everybody pays attention to Caleb Williams.

3289
02:36:09,600 --> 02:36:11,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, look, you gotta like the everyone's fans

3290
02:36:11,720 --> 02:36:14,200
Speaker 4: attention to Kayla Williams. We've annoyed it. Kayleb Williams as

3291
02:36:14,240 --> 02:36:17,640
Speaker 4: the savior We're ready to put him in the MVP conversation.

3292
02:36:17,800 --> 02:36:20,680
Speaker 4: The Bears are ready to go on a run where

3293
02:36:20,680 --> 02:36:23,760
Speaker 4: they can win twelve games in a very very competitive division.

3294
02:36:24,280 --> 02:36:26,360
Speaker 4: It appears that he maybe have gotten a break on

3295
02:36:26,440 --> 02:36:29,160
Speaker 4: Friday Night. Jordan Love may sit out a couple of

3296
02:36:29,200 --> 02:36:32,840
Speaker 4: games because of his injury, which could create an opportunity

3297
02:36:32,879 --> 02:36:35,360
Speaker 4: for them to get a little space on their bitter rival,

3298
02:36:35,400 --> 02:36:39,720
Speaker 4: the Green Bay Packers. So I mean, well, Caleb Williams

3299
02:36:39,760 --> 02:36:42,120
Speaker 4: plays like many of us expect him to play. He's

3300
02:36:42,120 --> 02:36:42,840
Speaker 4: gonna be right there.

3301
02:36:42,959 --> 02:36:46,240
Speaker 5: Yeah, you got all the offensive weaponry. We'll see Dj

3302
02:36:46,360 --> 02:36:50,120
Speaker 5: Moore matched ups need there comes over from kse so

3303
02:36:50,400 --> 02:36:52,360
Speaker 5: a little bit in the match with there, DeAndre Hopkins

3304
02:36:52,480 --> 02:36:55,840
Speaker 5: not expected to go. One of the offseason acquisitions there

3305
02:36:55,879 --> 02:36:59,359
Speaker 5: for Tennessee Chicago three and a half four point favorite

3306
02:36:59,400 --> 02:37:01,760
Speaker 5: forty four the total there on the lake Front, but

3307
02:37:02,360 --> 02:37:06,800
Speaker 5: shifting to Washington and what they've built and reconstruct to

3308
02:37:06,800 --> 02:37:11,519
Speaker 5: bring in Austin Eckler alongside Robinson in that backfield Kingsbury

3309
02:37:11,600 --> 02:37:14,520
Speaker 5: the oc I guess the big thing for me. Jaden

3310
02:37:14,600 --> 02:37:17,920
Speaker 5: Daniels has been able to operate this summer, at least

3311
02:37:17,920 --> 02:37:21,520
Speaker 5: for the most part, with all eyes on Chicago, so

3312
02:37:21,720 --> 02:37:24,160
Speaker 5: allowing them to just kind of get to work. Whereas

3313
02:37:24,600 --> 02:37:28,000
Speaker 5: coming off the year that he had at LSU that

3314
02:37:28,080 --> 02:37:31,720
Speaker 5: you would expect far more of the flowers, the headlines

3315
02:37:31,760 --> 02:37:34,920
Speaker 5: and the national scrutiny, but that just hasn't been the case.

3316
02:37:35,160 --> 02:37:37,800
Speaker 5: So he's got a big tiltier Week one and made

3317
02:37:37,840 --> 02:37:40,160
Speaker 5: an opportunity to make a name against a Buck squad

3318
02:37:40,560 --> 02:37:43,920
Speaker 5: that comes off a great twenty twenty three season that

3319
02:37:44,120 --> 02:37:45,240
Speaker 5: really was unexpected.

3320
02:37:45,680 --> 02:37:49,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, it is funny because normally the Hasmand Trophy winner

3321
02:37:49,640 --> 02:37:52,960
Speaker 4: the most the most recent Heismand Trophy winner, we'll face

3322
02:37:53,040 --> 02:37:56,160
Speaker 4: a lot of scrutiny based on what he is expected

3323
02:37:56,200 --> 02:37:58,480
Speaker 4: to do right away, and he has kind of been

3324
02:37:58,520 --> 02:38:02,200
Speaker 4: able to fly under radar a offseason. We've seen flashes

3325
02:38:02,240 --> 02:38:04,200
Speaker 4: and clips where they've been excited about what he's been

3326
02:38:04,200 --> 02:38:06,240
Speaker 4: able to do. All of the stuff coming out of

3327
02:38:06,280 --> 02:38:09,400
Speaker 4: Washington has been super positive. Dan Quinn talked about how

3328
02:38:09,400 --> 02:38:12,000
Speaker 4: he's grasped and taking command of the offense. All of

3329
02:38:12,040 --> 02:38:15,600
Speaker 4: those things are great, but he certainly hasn't had the

3330
02:38:15,760 --> 02:38:19,920
Speaker 4: national spotlight on him that Kayler Williams has had, and

3331
02:38:20,680 --> 02:38:22,560
Speaker 4: you know, you just wonder will he be able to

3332
02:38:22,560 --> 02:38:25,959
Speaker 4: play loose and free because he hasn't had that on

3333
02:38:26,080 --> 02:38:29,280
Speaker 4: him compared to how Kayler Williams knows that every throw,

3334
02:38:29,520 --> 02:38:34,600
Speaker 4: every snap that he engages in is going to be reviewed, examined,

3335
02:38:34,680 --> 02:38:37,480
Speaker 4: discussed and picked apart. Win or lose for the Chicago

3336
02:38:37,560 --> 02:38:38,840
Speaker 4: Bears going forward, Yeah, a.

3337
02:38:38,840 --> 02:38:41,879
Speaker 5: Couple of games we didn't get to, but just curious

3338
02:38:42,440 --> 02:38:46,520
Speaker 5: as your season prospects. I mentioned Canallis takes over in Caroline.

3339
02:38:46,560 --> 02:38:49,600
Speaker 5: He's got Bryce Young, who is because of the success

3340
02:38:49,600 --> 02:38:52,400
Speaker 5: of CJ. Stroud and the expectation of this year's rookie

3341
02:38:52,440 --> 02:38:57,519
Speaker 5: class has already been categorically disisissed. They bring in Deontay

3342
02:38:57,640 --> 02:39:01,320
Speaker 5: Johnson and all this play a Saints team. Look, I

3343
02:39:01,360 --> 02:39:03,880
Speaker 5: put them on our board here as they're going to

3344
02:39:03,920 --> 02:39:06,480
Speaker 5: be the worst team in football. Remains to be seen,

3345
02:39:06,520 --> 02:39:10,200
Speaker 5: of course, But is Carolina a team that could surprise

3346
02:39:10,240 --> 02:39:14,520
Speaker 5: a little bit? I know expectations are rock bottom, but they.

3347
02:39:14,520 --> 02:39:18,560
Speaker 4: Read maybe you know, like I would say, it's surprise

3348
02:39:18,760 --> 02:39:22,520
Speaker 4: in terms of being competitive, not surprise in terms of

3349
02:39:22,640 --> 02:39:25,600
Speaker 4: winning more than we expect them to win or whatever.

3350
02:39:25,720 --> 02:39:27,760
Speaker 4: Like they may be in games into the fourth quarter.

3351
02:39:28,320 --> 02:39:31,720
Speaker 4: I still see a team devoid of like elite talent

3352
02:39:32,600 --> 02:39:35,280
Speaker 4: on both sides, like they don't have enough where people

3353
02:39:35,520 --> 02:39:38,360
Speaker 4: take the Patriots to task. The Patriots at least you

3354
02:39:38,400 --> 02:39:42,120
Speaker 4: can talk about their defense potentially being rock solid, you know,

3355
02:39:42,240 --> 02:39:45,720
Speaker 4: because they've played good defense. We have visual evidence of that.

3356
02:39:46,200 --> 02:39:50,120
Speaker 4: We don't have evidence recently of the Carolina Panthers playing great.

3357
02:39:50,600 --> 02:39:53,160
Speaker 4: They've been okay on defense, but they haven't been what

3358
02:39:53,200 --> 02:39:55,000
Speaker 4: they could be and what they should be with Derek

3359
02:39:55,040 --> 02:39:56,960
Speaker 4: Brown or some of the other players that have So

3360
02:39:57,000 --> 02:40:00,520
Speaker 4: we'll see what it looks like. I just I just

3361
02:40:00,560 --> 02:40:02,760
Speaker 4: hope that Bryce Young gets a fair shake in terms

3362
02:40:02,800 --> 02:40:04,360
Speaker 4: of being able to play with some weapons so he

3363
02:40:04,400 --> 02:40:05,240
Speaker 4: can show what he can do.

3364
02:40:06,360 --> 02:40:08,840
Speaker 5: He's Bucky Brooks at Bucky Brooks, find me over at

3365
02:40:08,840 --> 02:40:12,160
Speaker 5: Swollen Dome. And then we've got obviously Denver and Seattle

3366
02:40:12,200 --> 02:40:15,280
Speaker 5: the other rookie quarterback Countdown to kickoff, breaks it all

3367
02:40:15,320 --> 02:40:16,000
Speaker 5: out next
