21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 3: games this weekend. Let's start off with this one. Mister

22
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 3: Plexico burst the vikings at the Bengals. You know, the

23
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 3: Vikings are turning to Mullins now going away from uh,

24
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 3: you know, the other the other option that that was

25
00:01:30,160 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 3: was there at.

26
00:01:30,880 --> 00:01:31,960
Speaker 1: One point in time.

27
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 3: So can Jake Browning, you know for the Bengals, who

28
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: seems to have have kind of adjusted pretty nicely, is

29
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:45,400
Speaker 3: trying to get them to the postseason. So you have

30
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 3: the Vikings and the Bengals. How are you looking at

31
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 3: this this matchup here?

32
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:55,680
Speaker 1: You know what, man Jake brown to me, I don't

33
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: know what it is, or maybe it's the way that he,

34
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 1: you know, commands his offense and the way that he

35
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,520
Speaker 1: runs it. But he doesn't play like a backup quarterback.

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I hear you. I mean he really doesn't.

37
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: And I think it's the fact that you know, you're

38
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:15,440
Speaker 1: looking at Zach Taylor. He has not scaled this offensive

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 1: back at all. I mean that performance city they had

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago against you know, the Jacksonville

41
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: Jackie Wallers that was almost Joe barrowsh So I look

42
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:32,679
Speaker 1: for him to, you know, keep playing well because they've

43
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 1: basically gave him the reins to this offense, just as

44
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 1: having the same amount of uh you know, accountability, Uh

45
00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:44,160
Speaker 1: as as Joe Burrow moving forward. And listen, the Bankers

46
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: are not out of the playoff situation. They pretty much

47
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:48,239
Speaker 1: control their own destiny moving forward. All they gotta do

48
00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:50,760
Speaker 1: is win, you know, two out of these next three games,

49
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 1: and it's gonna come down to, you know, whoever owns

50
00:02:53,680 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: a tiebreaker for them to get into the playoffs. I mean, obviously,

51
00:02:57,960 --> 00:03:00,959
Speaker 1: I think you know, everybody, everybody's saying that Baltimore is

52
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: probably gonna be, you know, the number one seed in

53
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:10,120
Speaker 1: the AFC. But listen, the Cincinnati Bengals offensively and defensively,

54
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,680
Speaker 1: they look like the same football team when Joe Burrow

55
00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:17,679
Speaker 1: is is Understand, I'm not saying he's Joe Burrow, but

56
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:22,399
Speaker 1: he's efficient. I think that he you know, he's able

57
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:26,399
Speaker 1: to read defenses. And obviously, you know Jamal happened, Jamal James,

58
00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 1: that's when you had one of the best rivals he

59
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,679
Speaker 1: was in all the football. Yeah, and Joe Mixon. So

60
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,240
Speaker 1: I'm really honestly looking for this team to push forward.

61
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 1: Even though they't have Joe Burrow, Man, you can't count

62
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:40,200
Speaker 1: them out, and I still think they make the playoffs.

63
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 3: Well, if the playoffs started today. On the other side,

64
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: of it. The Minnesota Vikings at seven and six, they

65
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 3: would be the sixth seed today. And that's after on

66
00:03:51,480 --> 00:03:55,160
Speaker 3: the hells of obviously losing Kirk Cousins for the entire season.

67
00:03:55,840 --> 00:03:59,880
Speaker 1: They bring in the other guy, Josh Dobbs, and look

68
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: like he was going to be the guy.

69
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,600
Speaker 3: Was off to a strong start, cooled off, slowed down,

70
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 3: came to a you know, a game where you know,

71
00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: there were no points really scored? Was zero three? Was

72
00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 3: was the total of that one? I believe against the

73
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 3: Las Vegas Raiders. They're going with Mullins. They're going with

74
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:26,320
Speaker 3: Nick Mullins, and and this is still a team that

75
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 3: is waiting for their star receiver, Justin Jefferson to come

76
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 3: back and return to the team. Do you think this

77
00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Speaker 3: is the best decision? I mean, I know, Dobbs, I mean,

78
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 3: you can't get any lower than no, you know, the

79
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,919
Speaker 3: three points, not not scoring touchdowns. Is this the right decision?

80
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:43,240
Speaker 1: Plex?

81
00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 3: Do you think that they made the proper decision going

82
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 3: with Nick Mullins going into with the Bengals.

83
00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,599
Speaker 1: I don't think so. I think Ko is just looking

84
00:04:50,640 --> 00:04:54,480
Speaker 1: for a spot, He's looking for an answer to help,

85
00:04:54,640 --> 00:04:57,400
Speaker 1: you know, get this team, you know, to the playoffs.

86
00:04:57,440 --> 00:05:01,159
Speaker 1: But I don't believe that, you know, you replace Joshua

87
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 1: Dobbs with us. He's been able to bring to this

88
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,839
Speaker 1: team and to this offense basically off of the couch

89
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: and to win you you know, three football games. So

90
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 1: I believe that Ko's he's reaching a little when I said, oh, Comma,

91
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: I believe that he's reaching a little bit. And I

92
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: think if you want the best result, if you the

93
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:27,000
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings moving forward, you let Joshua Dobbs get more

94
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:32,520
Speaker 1: and more comfortable with this offense. So now this offense

95
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: is not going to be sputtering and you know, living

96
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,440
Speaker 1: up to the capability even with or without Justin Jefferson.

97
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,640
Speaker 1: So I just think that it's a bad move on

98
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,280
Speaker 1: Ko's part to you know, make Mullins the startup over

99
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Joshua Dobbs, especially the last one of the football that

100
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: he has had. But I don't believe it fixes the

101
00:05:55,960 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: Minnesota Vikings problems if you don't have Justin and Justin

102
00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 1: Jefferson in the lineup, because he's just a he's a

103
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:07,960
Speaker 1: game changer, if you know what I'm saying. He's one

104
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:12,080
Speaker 1: of those guys that listen, the offense is that that

105
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 1: offense in Minnesota, if you don't have number eight on

106
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: the football, and the fact that you're gonna maybe get

107
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:23,520
Speaker 1: him back, Mumlins is gonna look. You know, he's gonna

108
00:06:23,520 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 1: look like a comedicant quarterback playing in his office with him.

109
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 1: I mean, who wouldn't you know?

110
00:06:28,520 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: It's interesting that Detroit Lions are the top of the

111
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,040
Speaker 3: NFC North and they've been.

112
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: On a scared fools goal, fool's goal. I've been saying

113
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:46,359
Speaker 1: that you cannot trust the Detroit Lions. I'm just telling

114
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:52,960
Speaker 1: you the red light went off for me a few

115
00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:56,040
Speaker 1: weeks ago when they were in a doghight with the

116
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: Chicago bells at home. Then you come back justin Jordan

117
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,720
Speaker 1: Love Thanksgiving, he goes with another football feel on you

118
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: now out of this last month. I said last week

119
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,920
Speaker 1: that the Detroit Lions would lose one of these two

120
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,760
Speaker 1: divisional games. They go to Chicago and then they have

121
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: to go to Minnesota. They will lose one of those

122
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 1: two games. They may lose both of them. They may

123
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,160
Speaker 1: lose both of them. I'm just saying. Jared golf Well

124
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,720
Speaker 1: can was saying he's a game manager. He cannot continue

125
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:36,280
Speaker 1: to turn the football over at the rate as which

126
00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 1: he's turning it over with and the Detroit lines, I'm

127
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: telling you right now they will be that team to

128
00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,480
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs and lose in the first round.

129
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: Well, interesting thing about that is the Vikings that they

130
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 3: can get through the Bengals today, they definitely one hundred

131
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 3: percent hold their destiny in their own hands. They can

132
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:03,440
Speaker 3: still actually when the NFC North, if you can believe that,

133
00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 3: they they would face the Detroit Lions next week and

134
00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:11,480
Speaker 3: the last week of the regular season, and in between

135
00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:14,280
Speaker 3: there they got the Green Bay Packers sandwiched in between

136
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 3: those those two games, So they can in theory, literally

137
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:24,200
Speaker 3: walk through the NFC North to win, to win the

138
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,640
Speaker 3: divisional crown. It'll be interesting to see how they play

139
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:30,600
Speaker 3: with Mulleins today. I think that's going to be a tall,

140
00:08:30,920 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 3: tall tail, an indicator of all things to come. And

141
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:38,839
Speaker 3: you just if you're if you're a Vikings fan, you

142
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 3: gotta you gotta hope and believe that that that's going

143
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,920
Speaker 3: to be a good, a good outing, because then the

144
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:50,560
Speaker 3: question becomes, you're you're a sixth seed right now today,

145
00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,679
Speaker 3: But if you're able to find that spark that you're

146
00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 3: talking about, plex then now you're talking about a team

147
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:02,520
Speaker 3: that's heading towards getting getting that divisional crown and being

148
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,559
Speaker 3: in a much different position. But if it doesn't go

149
00:09:05,800 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 3: that way, what do you do if he doesn't play,

150
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:18,240
Speaker 3: if Mulleins doesn't play properly or play well today, where

151
00:09:18,360 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 3: does that leave this Vikings team that's at the sixty

152
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 3: but has the potential to raise their seed by winning

153
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 3: their division. It actually goes from a positive conversation to

154
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 3: what I would have seen assumed would be a very

155
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:33,599
Speaker 3: very complicated conversation to have.

156
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,160
Speaker 1: Do you go back to Dobbs or do you stay

157
00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:39,040
Speaker 1: with Mullin depending on what it looks like? Why did

158
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: you go away from Johnson Dobbs in the first place,

159
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 1: That's the question he's going to have the answer as

160
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:47,440
Speaker 1: being the head coaches the team making the decision making

161
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:52,079
Speaker 1: this decision with starting Mulleins over Dug because I just

162
00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 1: don't see the reason behind it. Maybe they, maybe he

163
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,880
Speaker 1: sees something different from what my eyes telling me. Is

164
00:10:00,040 --> 00:10:04,199
Speaker 1: that Josson Dobbs has a pretty good hold on his offense,

165
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: and I just think you should continue let him to play.

166
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:08,640
Speaker 1: But that didn't happen.

167
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 3: It did not I mean, it almost seems like they

168
00:10:11,640 --> 00:10:16,080
Speaker 3: can justify that by saying they couldn't score points. I mean,

169
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 3: they got the win, but they just really couldn't get

170
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 3: the offense going. And I just wonder, is that is

171
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:28,520
Speaker 3: that based upon Joshua Dobbs's inability to be able to,

172
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 3: you know, grasp the offense.

173
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:31,319
Speaker 1: I wouldn't assume it.

174
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 3: It's his in to left right, So okay, then it

175
00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 3: moves on to well, is he able to read the field,

176
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 3: go through his progressions and and and make the right calls,

177
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:44,120
Speaker 3: know where the blitzes are coming from. I mean, he's

178
00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 3: also he's also athletic, He's he's a mobile quarterback. So

179
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 3: I don't you know, was it the right decision. I'm

180
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 3: not going to sit here and say definitively it was

181
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 3: the wrong decision to go with Mullin. I just think

182
00:10:56,840 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 3: that it's I'm gonna have to see what he does

183
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 3: in this game in order to quantify if it was

184
00:11:03,320 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 3: the proper move or if it was the wrong move

185
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,200
Speaker 3: to make. That's what I would assume. Well, we're gonna

186
00:11:08,200 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 3: find out today. Well, they're underway. They are underway right now,

187
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: and the Bengals have the ball fourth down, and four

188
00:11:19,520 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 3: at the Minnesota fifteen with nine minutes and twenty one

189
00:11:22,679 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 3: seconds left. So yeah, that's a zero zero game, no

190
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,559
Speaker 3: scores yet. We'll continue to, you know, talk about what

191
00:11:31,720 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 3: takes place with the Vikings and the Bengals, most likely

192
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 3: with our update and later in the show when Jonas

00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,439
Speaker 3: one I know that's near and dear to you. The

229
00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:27,400
Speaker 3: Steelers will be taking on the Indianapolis Colts. What is

230
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: your feeling on this game? It just seems to be

231
00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:37,719
Speaker 3: a lot of electricity building up in Pittsburgh, and I

232
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: gotta say not for the best of reasons.

233
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: I mean, your boy.

234
00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 3: Ben Roethlisberger had some interesting things to say, talked about

235
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:49,600
Speaker 3: the Pittsburgh.

236
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 1: Way and it not being that way anymore.

237
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 3: And you being in that locker room during the time

238
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,440
Speaker 3: of Big Ben and knowing what that that culture he's

239
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 3: talking about, you know what it is. Do you see

240
00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:07,199
Speaker 3: going into the game anything of what Ben was saying

241
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:12,280
Speaker 3: having relevance and validity to where this team is currently

242
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 3: and what direction they're they're trying.

243
00:14:14,480 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: To head in. I mean, you could argue and say,

244
00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: you know what Ben had to say where you know

245
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 1: where this team is is from a culture standpoint, If

246
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: you had the opportunity to play on this team and

247
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:30,440
Speaker 1: be in his locker room, then you understand exactly what

248
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 1: he's talking about. I heard him mention the fact that

249
00:14:33,880 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 1: you know, if something wasn't going right, there would be

250
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:41,160
Speaker 1: a player to nobody had a problem of addressing you

251
00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 1: if you want doing your job on that football field.

252
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 1: And that's one of the things that makes this place

253
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:52,920
Speaker 1: special is that players take the accountability for each other

254
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,320
Speaker 1: and that doesn't happen everywhere. That's what makes it a

255
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: special place. Like we are we are able, we were

256
00:15:00,440 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 1: able to go to each other as young men and

257
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: come on do look man, we need you to make

258
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: that play man. You know what I'm saying, like, come on,

259
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,520
Speaker 1: dalk like like you ain't like we need you. That

260
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: kind of culture and relationship and communication is what has

261
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 1: you know, one of the reasons why the Stellers who

262
00:15:19,600 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 1: they are as far as from an organizational standpoint, And

263
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,680
Speaker 1: I can kind of see it a little bit because

264
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: that that old way of still of football it's kind

265
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: of missing. It's like, you know, with the new generation

266
00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: of kids and and everything that's going on, I can

267
00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:41,600
Speaker 1: see where it's coming from. Because listen, I would be

268
00:15:41,680 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: in the locker room just you know, on a on

269
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: a Tuesday, old Wednesday. You look up, it's Mel Blunt.

270
00:15:48,920 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 1: You will look up, it's John Stalwart. If you will

271
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 1: look up, it was Frank o'harris, it was you know, uh,

272
00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: like you felt it when you were there because like

273
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:03,280
Speaker 1: the present uh and and that's pretty cool.

274
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: Yeah.

275
00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:07,720
Speaker 1: And they would just walk around the building and you'd

276
00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 1: be like, oh man, that like like yo, that's that's male.

277
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: That mean that's me and Joe Green aund there, that's Franco.

278
00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:20,120
Speaker 1: Like you kind of felt that, and you know, I

279
00:16:20,160 --> 00:16:26,000
Speaker 1: don't know if the players know and understand what Pittsburgh

280
00:16:26,040 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 1: football was up it is all about, and what was

281
00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: and what those guys meant to us because we wanted

282
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: to go out and fulfill and play hard for them

283
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:40,560
Speaker 1: because of what they created and and and we took

284
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 1: pride in that. Man. You know, obviously with you know,

285
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:50,160
Speaker 1: Ben not being there, and now you're lacking veterans, you know,

286
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 1: in the locker room and around the league and on

287
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,000
Speaker 1: these teams due to the new CBA, and you know,

288
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:56,640
Speaker 1: all of these things. I think that the oldest down

289
00:16:56,720 --> 00:16:59,640
Speaker 1: the team that is probably Cam Hayward. I played with him.

290
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 1: He was that when I was there, so he understands

291
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: what kind of culture it is. But if you look

292
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:09,440
Speaker 1: amongst a team that we don't have those kind of

293
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,280
Speaker 1: guys anymore in the locker room who are willing to

294
00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,320
Speaker 1: basically come out and say, you know what, dog like,

295
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 1: you're not playing well today, Dog, I know you're a

296
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: better football player than that. If you took it personally,

297
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,160
Speaker 1: you take it personal. Because the coach would not get

298
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,200
Speaker 1: involved with any of those things that the players were

299
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: going through in the locker room. He would let the

300
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:31,119
Speaker 1: guy sort it out, and it was it was out

301
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 1: of respect and those kind of leadership things I think

302
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: are missing from the team. But it doesn't help when

303
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: you have Mitchell Trubisky quarterback. I mean, what are you

304
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 1: gonna do with this guy? I mean, he's just had

305
00:17:46,200 --> 00:17:49,720
Speaker 1: a very good quarterback for what the Stellers are used

306
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,120
Speaker 1: to being able to just just manage a football game

307
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 1: at this point and don't give it away and turn

308
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:55,880
Speaker 1: it over.

309
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 3: How bad is he? Plexed? Is he bad enough? Where

310
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 3: this is a team and that misses the playoffs and

311
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:02,159
Speaker 3: has a losing.

312
00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:04,840
Speaker 1: Record, they don't make the playoffs with with mister Trubisky

313
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:08,440
Speaker 1: in the center. I'm just telling you even you know, Mike,

314
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:11,000
Speaker 1: I love Mike Sullivan. He was my wide receiver coach

315
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,840
Speaker 1: when we went the Super Bowl and now he's calling

316
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 1: the plays. He's office coordinator for the Steelers, and I

317
00:18:15,600 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: know some of the things that he likes to do

318
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:21,800
Speaker 1: offensively with a vertical passing game and for the quarterback

319
00:18:21,840 --> 00:18:24,440
Speaker 1: to be able to drop back and throw the football

320
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,080
Speaker 1: on five and seven step drops. Mister Trubisky is just

321
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: that not that kind of player. And from a you know,

322
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:34,000
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick just really confused him last week with you know,

323
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:38,480
Speaker 1: moving the defensive round you know, at the snap of

324
00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 1: the football and you can see it. He was confused.

325
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 1: He was just throwing the ball to where he thought

326
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,480
Speaker 1: it was supposed to go, and there was nobody there.

327
00:18:45,480 --> 00:18:48,119
Speaker 1: He threw it straight to the guy. And I just

328
00:18:48,240 --> 00:18:51,200
Speaker 1: think that, you know, with him at quarterback, they won't

329
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: make the playoffs this year. And I think Mike, Mike,

330
00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin will have his first losing season as a

331
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 1: coach as the head coach of this team.

332
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:02,480
Speaker 3: Okay, so then what does that mean for because you

333
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,639
Speaker 3: know they be quick to come for Mike Tomlin and

334
00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: Pittsburgh the fan.

335
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:11,640
Speaker 1: You cannot come for, know Mike Tomlin being a fact

336
00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:13,800
Speaker 1: that this man has been there. What he's one of

337
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:16,200
Speaker 1: the longest tenure coaches in the NFL right now, him

338
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,680
Speaker 1: Andy Reid and Hardball. This man has done nothing but

339
00:19:22,600 --> 00:19:27,239
Speaker 1: anything less than exceptional with the rosters that he has

340
00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,960
Speaker 1: had over the past five or six years, willing these

341
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:36,240
Speaker 1: young men to win football games. Now he's at he's

342
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:38,600
Speaker 1: in a position where he does not have the If

343
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett was a quarterback of the team, they will

344
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 1: make the playoffs. But with mister Trubisky in the center,

345
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: I just don't see that happening. I really don't. And

346
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 1: for Mike, for somebody to say Mike Thomins to be

347
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,240
Speaker 1: fired because he had one losing season and his tenure

348
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:59,600
Speaker 1: as the head coach of his team, you have to

349
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 1: be It's one thing that I know about still those

350
00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,240
Speaker 1: organizations that you know what, they find a gym every

351
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 1: year in the draft. They scout well, they draft well,

352
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 1: They they bring kids along, guys playing eight, nine, ten, eleven,

353
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: twelve years for this football team where they would have

354
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 1: been at home already. But they take the time to

355
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: develop players. And that's one of the things that why

356
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,200
Speaker 1: the stability and how this organization has been able to

357
00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,919
Speaker 1: have so much scess because they just don't give up

358
00:20:35,040 --> 00:20:38,840
Speaker 1: on guys. They give them an opportunity to get better

359
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 1: as football players. And for Mike Tomlin to have his

360
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: first losing season, hey he's gonna have one. He's gonna

361
00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: have one. But you just throw up and get rid

362
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,119
Speaker 1: of Mike Tomlin because he doesn't have his first winning season.

363
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 1: All right, Well, I guess we'll see what happens with that.

364
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 3: But on the other side of it, you got a

365
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 3: Colts team that has a robust puss passing attack is

366
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:10,720
Speaker 3: headlined by obviously Michael pitt Been junior, he's been playing well.

367
00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 3: This is this is a game where it almost seems

368
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 3: like it falls into line with the Colts having success.

369
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,840
Speaker 3: You know, it's interesting they've they've had six straight games

370
00:21:26,080 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 3: of eight or more catches and and that's Pittman ranking

371
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:34,960
Speaker 3: in the top ten among UH qualified players averaging ten

372
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,480
Speaker 3: point four yards per touch. So he's he's getting after

373
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,960
Speaker 3: it the scot It's interesting the Colts have scored twenty

374
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,640
Speaker 3: points or more in eleven games this season. That's tied

375
00:21:44,720 --> 00:21:48,240
Speaker 3: for the most in the NFL. Yeah, so the Steelers

376
00:21:48,280 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 3: are going to have their hands full with this Colts team.

377
00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:56,719
Speaker 3: And both teams are at at the same record. They

378
00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 3: they seem to be in a lot of ways, even

379
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 3: we matched two seven and six teams coming into it.

380
00:22:04,920 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: Obviously, Minchew is.

381
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:10,160
Speaker 3: One of those guys that you know, they're they're really

382
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: and they enjoy his presence when when he's in the

383
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:20,640
Speaker 3: scenarios that he's in while he's filling in. So, I mean,

384
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 3: I look at this, this this Coats team, and I

385
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:27,040
Speaker 3: find them to be a pretty intriguing team. You know,

386
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 3: down down the stretch. What what does that look like

387
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 3: for the Colts moving forward. And I'll just ask you this,

388
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,119
Speaker 3: how big of a game do you think this is

389
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,159
Speaker 3: for the Colts Because I think we have an idea

390
00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:40,320
Speaker 3: of how big it is for the Steelers.

391
00:22:40,720 --> 00:22:43,600
Speaker 1: But is this is this just as big a game

392
00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,959
Speaker 1: for the Colts or you know what? What what are

393
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:47,679
Speaker 1: we looking at here?

394
00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,679
Speaker 3: There're second in the AFC South, so there there's possibilities

395
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 3: here for them to make some moves in their division.

396
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 1: What you know, how big is this game? I think

397
00:23:00,640 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 1: this game is bigger for the coach than it is

398
00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,640
Speaker 1: for the Steelers. Oh wow, Okay, because listen, Gardner Minshew

399
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 1: finds ways to win football game. They just went in

400
00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,120
Speaker 1: the road last week and they gave Baltimore Ravens although

401
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,119
Speaker 1: they can handle scoring thirty one points. I mean, so

402
00:23:17,320 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 1: don't take you know, Michael Bitman Jr. And this offense

403
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,719
Speaker 1: for granted when you prolyn him and play against him.

404
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:28,080
Speaker 1: Because if you look at what Gardner Minshew has been

405
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: able to do over his career, him and Baker Mayfield,

406
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,600
Speaker 1: who was the first pick in the draft, they basically

407
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 1: have identical stats. So you can say that this young

408
00:23:40,600 --> 00:23:43,320
Speaker 1: man should be a starting quarterback for some football team,

409
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,520
Speaker 1: not a backup, right, So he's not a bad player.

410
00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,920
Speaker 1: He's not a bad quarterback. He finds ways to win

411
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 1: football games. And I think the ending that was coach,

412
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:57,320
Speaker 1: I need this game because there may be a possibility

413
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 1: that the ALC South gets three teams into the player

414
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:04,240
Speaker 1: this shit. Wow, Houston Texans. Obviously they lost last week

415
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:06,360
Speaker 1: to the Jets. We're gonna talk about them in a moment.

416
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:10,960
Speaker 1: You have Indianapolis Colts and the Jude Jacksonville Jagualls on

417
00:24:11,080 --> 00:24:13,560
Speaker 1: first place, so it might be the first time until

418
00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:16,400
Speaker 1: you get three teams from the same division in the playoffs.

419
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: So I think that's one of the reasons why they

420
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 1: need to win this game definitely to secure them a

421
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: spot in the playoffs moving forward. They may not catch Jacksonville,

422
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:30,359
Speaker 1: but they win this team. To win this game today

423
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 1: against the AFC team, I think that the Colts do

424
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs this year. I think They're going

425
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: to win this game for sure. Huh. And because the

426
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,560
Speaker 1: Steelers are at full strength as we know, and they

427
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:48,959
Speaker 1: moved to eight and six, so I think they win

428
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: this game today. Wow, that is Plexico Burts. This is

429
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:53,880
Speaker 1: up on game.

430
00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: Let's get a quick update from I Little Will Talk

431
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,800
Speaker 3: Texans c J Stroud After this update, what you got.

432
00:25:00,320 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 6: We got fellas the Minnesota Vikings out to a seven

433
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 6: to three lead at Cincinnati with just over a minute

434
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 6: left to play in the first quarter. On the opening

435
00:25:09,840 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 6: drive of the game, the Bengals Evan McPherson kicked a

436
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 6: thirty four yard field goal, but the Vikings came back

437
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:20,520
Speaker 6: with a twelve play seventy five yard touchdown drive engineered

438
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 6: by Nick Mullins, who completed all three of his passes

439
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 6: for forty two yards. And here's how they got it

440
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 6: over the goal line, courtesy of the venable Paul Allen.

441
00:25:29,600 --> 00:25:33,199
Speaker 7: I'm k fan first in gall Mullins under center Johnny

442
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,399
Speaker 7: munt In motioned to the left back to the right offset,

Speaker 7: this season.

446
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:49,720
Speaker 6: However, a significant injury development in this game, as during

447
00:25:49,800 --> 00:25:54,479
Speaker 6: that drive, Bengals starting defensive tackle DJ Reeder was carted

448
00:25:54,600 --> 00:25:58,080
Speaker 6: off the field after sustaining a right knee injury. He

449
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 6: has been ruled out for the rest of the game

450
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,200
Speaker 6: and DJ Reider Yeah, DJ reader. By the way, in

451
00:26:04,280 --> 00:26:06,920
Speaker 6: a contract year, we might add, so we have a

452
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 6: minuted in twenty two seconds left to play in the

453
00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:13,080
Speaker 6: first quarter in Cincinnati, with the Vikings leading the Bengals

454
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,160

466
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 6: Georgia Southern in the third quarter, and at the Get

467
00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:05,080
Speaker 6: Celebration Ball between Howard and Florida A and M. That

468
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 6: game actually being held at Mercedes Benz Stadium in Atlanta.

469
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:12,680
Speaker 6: They have three minutes left in the second quarter, and

470
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 6: Howard leads that game sixteen to seven. Fellas back to you.

471
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:20,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe Edwin James Son plays running back for Howard.

472
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: All right, yeah, well, thank you. I loow appreciate that update.

473
00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:26,879
Speaker 1: There you match.

474
00:27:27,040 --> 00:27:28,680
Speaker 6: And by the way, I can give you some stats

475
00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,760
Speaker 6: on his son. Seven carries for forty one yards, so

476
00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 6: averaging just star six yards of carries so far today.

477
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 1: That's Stuteley nice, nice and James. That sound like Edger

478
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 1: and James like numbers.

479
00:27:40,800 --> 00:27:45,400
Speaker 3: All right, well, speaking of Gotti numbers and great performances,

480
00:27:45,840 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 3: Texas C J. Stroud He's doubtful versus the Titans. He

481
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 3: remains in the concussion protocol. Davis Mills will reported least

482
00:27:55,080 --> 00:28:01,720
Speaker 3: start this game. Yeah, he suffered the the concussion and

483
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 3: against the Jets, they got him. MetLife got him. Met

484
00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:08,520
Speaker 3: Life is claiming bodies, man. That's that they got more

485
00:28:08,600 --> 00:28:09,840
Speaker 3: bodies than than any.

486
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:10,480
Speaker 1: Player this year.

487
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 3: But he goes down this this this Houston Texans team

488
00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 3: has been playing really well.

489
00:28:18,600 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 1: It's very rejuvenated, and.

490
00:28:23,160 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 3: You know, obviously it's because you you got you know,

491
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:30,280
Speaker 3: great strong rookie coaching coaching that they're getting and you

492
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:34,720
Speaker 3: got a great strong presence from your rookie quarterback, but

493
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 3: now you don't have that that that quarterback and Demico

494
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,880
Speaker 3: Ryans and company has to figure out how to get through,

495
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:48,400
Speaker 3: you know, seemingly with with Mills to come in and

496
00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,400
Speaker 3: and do you know do that duty. How do you

497
00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,320
Speaker 3: see this playing out for the Houston Texans.

498
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously it's gonna be a little tougher. I mean,

499
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,160
Speaker 1: you know, Mills has started, you know, quarter back for

500
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: this team, but obviously know he's no CJ. Stroud And

501
00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 1: I think for Demico Ryans Man, first of all, man,

502
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:09,720
Speaker 1: this man, this young man has been doing the hell

503
00:29:09,760 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: of a job. Coach of the year absolutely right out

504
00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:16,880
Speaker 1: of my mouth. I mean, you're talking about talking about

505
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,800
Speaker 1: a first year coach with a rookie quarterback on the

506
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,000
Speaker 1: brink of having double digit wins in his first year,

507
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,880
Speaker 1: and it can be done. And as a team, let's

508
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: keep it mind, it was a very, very it was

509
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 1: this team in samples.

510
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:30,440
Speaker 7: Man.

511
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 1: We were saying at the beginning of the year that

512
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:39,360
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers, and the Houston Texas

513
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 1: will be three of the worst teams in football. Two

514
00:29:42,360 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: of them are. But for CJ. Stroud, what he's been

515
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,640
Speaker 1: able to do since he stepped into this locker room

516
00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 1: and under center, he's been he's been nothing but fantastic. Man.

517
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,320
Speaker 1: So I think that Dimiko is gonna just try to,

518
00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: you know, try to dumb it down a little, just

519
00:29:59,200 --> 00:30:02,280
Speaker 1: a little bit for me, and you know, just you know,

520
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: not you know, put him in the put him in

521
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 1: bad position to make, you know, make bad players, just

522
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:10,920
Speaker 1: you know, send him in, send him in the game

523
00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: with a play and take all the way as audible

524
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,200
Speaker 1: options because now you you are still in the position

525
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,120
Speaker 1: to get to the playoffs if you're the Houston Texas.

526
00:30:20,400 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: And I would say last week when this game against

527
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: the Jets had more to do with the weather than

528
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,920
Speaker 1: actually how good of this football team. I mean, the

529
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,920
Speaker 1: weather was terrible last week, you know in New Jersey,

530
00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:36,000
Speaker 1: torrential pour down rain basically for the whole entire football game.

531
00:30:36,600 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 1: So I believe they'll bounce back this week, even even

532
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 1: with Meals in the center. But I don't know if

533
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 1: you do, Mika RNs Man, you're saying to yourself, man,

534
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: when can I get my guys cz strip back? Well,

535
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,680
Speaker 1: interestingly enough, there are seven and six, which is the

536
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:56,719
Speaker 1: same record as the Indianapolis Colts. I don't know if

537
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,880
Speaker 1: there's any tiebreakers involved. I don't, I don't, I'm not.

538
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: I don't have that information readily available. Maybe you could

539
00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: grab it, bo I don't know.

540
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 3: But but the Jaguars they're at there a top of

541
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 3: the South, the AFC South, but they are Trevor Lawrence less,

542
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 3: and and they're not the same team without him, and

543
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 3: and so looking at where the Jaguars are, this becomes

544
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:26,960
Speaker 3: an even bigger game today that we preview with the

545
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 3: Steelers and the Colts, you know, because if the Texans

546
00:31:30,840 --> 00:31:34,600
Speaker 3: are able to beat the Titans, then now they go

547
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:37,760
Speaker 3: to to eight and six and the Colts would be

548
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:41,200
Speaker 3: at seven and seven and and now that would make

549
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 3: for an interesting finish of sorts, to see where a

550
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:49,000
Speaker 3: team ends up and where they you know, where they don't.

551
00:31:49,080 --> 00:31:52,160
Speaker 3: But so that makes these some pretty big games. Tennessee

552
00:31:52,240 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 3: is they're a curious team, man. They're like they're like

553
00:31:55,120 --> 00:31:59,120
Speaker 3: kind of like are they good or are they not good?

554
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,120
Speaker 3: But it's it's like I can beat a good team,

555
00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 3: but it's like I want to say you're a good team,

556
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 3: but then you say you do something that makes me

557
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,080
Speaker 3: feel like You're not a good team. It's like I'm

558
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:12,960
Speaker 3: combated with myself, Like I'm like in this whole like

559
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 3: tug of war of how I want to feel about Tennessee.

560
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,800
Speaker 3: Like they find ways to win, but they don't win

561
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 3: consistent enough for me to sit here and feel comfortable

562
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,200
Speaker 3: enough calling them a really good team.

563
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: I just don't know where I'm at with them. I mean,

564
00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:29,640
Speaker 1: so who owns the tiebreaker both?

565
00:32:29,920 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 8: So right now, if the playoffs started today, it would

566
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 8: be the Colts above the Texans because they have the

567
00:32:35,480 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 8: head to head advantage in those games. And Colts would

568
00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:40,480
Speaker 8: also be in over Buffalo, Cincinnati, and Denver based on

569
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:41,640
Speaker 8: win percentage in Coo.

570
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,560
Speaker 1: Wow, this is why I say the Houston Texans and

571
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:50,680
Speaker 1: in Adlis Colts get into the playoffs. Huh, they both

572
00:32:50,720 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: can get in. Well, the Texans are going to have

573
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: to win in order to do that, and that's going

574
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: to be a task itself. I don't know.

575
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:07,719
Speaker 3: I just don't feel comfortable saying that the Texans can

576
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:11,080
Speaker 3: get this one against against the Titans. I'm just not

577
00:33:11,280 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 3: I'm not there on that, and it's because I just

578
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 3: can't read what the Tennessee Titans are I can't tell

579
00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 3: you I feel confident that this is the Tennessee Titans

580
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,360
Speaker 3: that we're going to get in this this game.

581
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: So I don't know, Houston Texas are a better football

582
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 1: team offensively and defensively. I don't disagree. I don't disagree.

583
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 3: But but with that being said, we know how these

584
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:37,440
Speaker 3: divisional games go and and and the Titans are there,

585
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:39,400
Speaker 3: They're still at the core of it. There's still a

586
00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 3: smash mouth Hart knows team that that brings some physicality

587
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 3: and that can wear on a team at this time

588
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,280
Speaker 3: of the year, at this time of the season. So

589
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,160
Speaker 3: I don't know, that's going to be an interesting one

590
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:55,640
Speaker 3: to watch because I just don't know what you're going

591
00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:59,080
Speaker 3: to get from the Titans. And the Texans, well, they

592
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,760
Speaker 3: don't have CJ. So that's that's gonna be interesting to

593
00:34:01,800 --> 00:34:04,840
Speaker 3: see how they're able to navigate that game because it's

594
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 3: it is a big game, uh for for this Texans team.

595
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,040
Speaker 3: So we're gonna take a quick break. On the other side,

596
00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:13,399
Speaker 3: we're gonna wrap it up with some show. Hey, tany talk.

00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,160
Speaker 8: So he uh, just after we got off the air

620
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 8: last week, actually show, Hey, Otani announced he was signing

621
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,120
Speaker 8: with the Dodgers, and then it came out, yeah, ten years,

622
00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 8: seven hundred million. And then later on in the week

623
00:35:39,160 --> 00:35:41,800
Speaker 8: Otani it basically came out that he was going to

624
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 8: be paid two million dollars a season. He was going

625
00:35:44,080 --> 00:35:47,479
Speaker 8: to defer sixty eight million dollars over the every season

626
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,560
Speaker 8: over the next ten years till the end of the contract.

627
00:35:50,640 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 8: So basically the Dodgers is gonna be paying him, you know,

628
00:35:52,840 --> 00:35:56,600
Speaker 8: ten years after his contract ends, that sixty eight million dollars.

629
00:35:56,680 --> 00:35:59,359
Speaker 8: So he's getting paid less so the Dodgers can try

630
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 8: to bring in more talent. But yeah, it's it's a

631
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:08,239
Speaker 8: wild contract and the biggest I think dollar value of

632
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:10,480
Speaker 8: any athlete ever across sports.

633
00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:15,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean there have been the Bobby Benia conversations.

634
00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:18,719
Speaker 3: Everybody brings that up. He's still being paid for his

635
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 3: last contract. You know, we talked about this on two

636
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:26,480
Speaker 3: pros and and I'll throw this out at you super quickly.

637
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:30,080
Speaker 3: Plex Brady was like, look, I want my money, and

638
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,360
Speaker 3: I want it I want it now, because you know,

639
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:37,200
Speaker 3: inflation is a part of things, like nothing's guaranteed. Like

640
00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:42,120
Speaker 3: to to defer your money that far out maybe not

641
00:36:42,440 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 3: maybe ill advised, but I said, I look at it

642
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,279
Speaker 3: like this, If I'm getting paid two million a year,

643
00:36:49,400 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 3: I've already made a ton of money, and I know

644
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 3: that that's going to be securing me as I moved

645
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:58,160
Speaker 3: down the lane, the line of my life. I almost

646
00:36:58,200 --> 00:37:01,200
Speaker 3: feel like I've set myself up to be paid almost

647
00:37:01,360 --> 00:37:05,600
Speaker 3: like a retirement, you know, before I even go into retirement. Now,

648
00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 3: you know, I think we all have different different takes

649
00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:11,280
Speaker 3: on it, but nonetheless, it's a hell of a large

650
00:37:11,400 --> 00:37:12,239
Speaker 3: contract down.

651
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 1: Don't think anyone can dispute or argue that. I mean,

652
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:18,600
Speaker 1: it's I mean, he's a new king man. I mean,

653
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 1: what else more can you say. I don't know if

654
00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:26,040
Speaker 1: he's deferring this, you know, his his uh you know,

655
00:37:26,239 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 1: contract for tax purposes, but it says that I believe

656
00:37:30,560 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 1: they say, out of the seventy you know million dollars

657
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:35,719
Speaker 1: out of he make a year, he's going to pay

658
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:38,239
Speaker 1: twenty five million dollars in twenty twenty five million of

659
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 1: it in taxes just during the season. I mean, that's

660
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 1: that's crazy, mainly because of the fact that you play

661
00:37:46,080 --> 00:37:49,960
Speaker 1: in the state of California. You know, he's basically seeing

662
00:37:50,200 --> 00:37:54,719
Speaker 1: half of what he will be making a year but

663
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 1: he's already made forty two million dollars playing with the

664
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,680
Speaker 1: angel so it's not like this man is in need

665
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:04,160
Speaker 1: of any cash anytime soon. But I actually said to

666
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,960
Speaker 1: myself that, you know, seventy million dollars a year playing baseball,

667
00:38:08,120 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 1: it's just something that seven hundred million dollar contract over

668
00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 1: ten years something that we would never see. I mean,

669
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:17,799
Speaker 1: we saw what the Bryce Harper and you know, Mike

670
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 1: Trout and Cook, these guys a few years ago signed

671
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,719
Speaker 1: these four hundred million dollar deals, but now, you know,

672
00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: seven hundred is just something that we just thought that

673
00:38:27,880 --> 00:38:31,919
Speaker 1: from a professional sports standpoint, that we would never see.

674
00:38:32,000 --> 00:38:35,920
Speaker 1: But obviously that day has arrived and to show, hey,

675
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:40,640
Speaker 1: old Tani. I would assume that he's going to continue

676
00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:43,600
Speaker 1: to be as great as he has been, you know,

677
00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 1: obviously playing Anaheim and now he's just going down the

678
00:38:46,440 --> 00:38:50,200
Speaker 1: street to play for the Dodgers. But maybe those sightings

679
00:38:50,280 --> 00:38:53,480
Speaker 1: that Aila was saying, you know, last week or the

680
00:38:53,520 --> 00:38:57,320
Speaker 1: week before all these places, del Tani was. I believe

681
00:38:57,400 --> 00:39:02,480
Speaker 1: that he was, and I mean in California and Los Angeles,

682
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, eating some foods. Oh I guess, I guess

683
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:08,880
Speaker 1: that's true, because he ended up being a Dodger. He

684
00:39:09,239 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 1: ended up being a Dodger. Now, Bo, talk to me

685
00:39:13,120 --> 00:39:13,480
Speaker 1: about this.

686
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:17,920
Speaker 3: What does this mean for the Dodgers, for the Dodgers fans, Like,

687
00:39:18,080 --> 00:39:20,560
Speaker 3: that's got to be excitement. But I mean, is it

688
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:23,600
Speaker 3: the injury A concerned though, Like it's Tommy Johns situation.

689
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 3: No not.

690
00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:27,799
Speaker 8: I mean personally for myself, no, not really, because he's

691
00:39:28,160 --> 00:39:29,400
Speaker 8: just the greatest hitter.

692
00:39:29,320 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 1: In the game right now.

693
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 8: And like I think when you talk about Shohill tiny,

694
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,160
Speaker 8: like we have to remember that last year he was

695
00:39:34,239 --> 00:39:36,520
Speaker 8: being talked about as the greatest player to ever play

696
00:39:36,560 --> 00:39:39,080
Speaker 8: the game of baseball. So anytime you can sign a

697
00:39:39,160 --> 00:39:42,359
Speaker 8: guy like that, it's good. And then also to turn

698
00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:44,200
Speaker 8: around and have him be like, yeah, pay me less,

699
00:39:45,200 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 8: pay me less money so you guys can put better

700
00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:49,600
Speaker 8: guys around me so we can win. Like that's everything

701
00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:52,760
Speaker 8: you want to hear. There's just so much about signing

702
00:39:52,840 --> 00:39:56,680
Speaker 8: Shohill Tony that's just insane from a on the field standpoint,

703
00:39:56,719 --> 00:40:00,560
Speaker 8: but also the business standpoint. Seventy million people tuned in

704
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 8: to watch his opening press conference with the Dog, which

705
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 8: that's just crazy. I have friends that cover the Dodgers

706
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,640
Speaker 8: that like they couldn't they had to stand in the

707
00:40:08,719 --> 00:40:10,279
Speaker 8: back for his press conference because there was just so

708
00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 8: much media there. Uh, the team is going to make

709
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,680
Speaker 8: so much money off of Otani being here, and Otani's

710
00:40:15,680 --> 00:40:18,000
Speaker 8: gonna make a ton of money playing for the Dodgers.

711
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:21,800
Speaker 8: They're a global brand already, so yeah, it's it's crazy.

712
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:26,560
Speaker 8: I they're they're talking to Yoshinobu Yamamoto, who's another Japanese

713
00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:28,640
Speaker 8: player who's going to get a bunch of money in

714
00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 8: the off seat like Otani's. He's doing the lebron thing.

715
00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,560
Speaker 8: He's recruiting people. It's great. I love it and I

716
00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:35,919
Speaker 8: really can't wait to see him play.

717
00:40:37,040 --> 00:40:43,000
Speaker 3: All right, Well, spoken from a true dedicated Dodgers fan.

718
00:40:43,400 --> 00:40:46,440

719
00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:51,760
Speaker 3: about that time. What which game is are you looking

720
00:40:51,800 --> 00:40:55,040

Speaker 3: of here.

722
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:58,319
Speaker 1: Well, I'm looking forward to this Bengals game. I really

723
00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: want to see how Mullins runs his office and they

724
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:04,440
Speaker 1: can get a win today. But I think that, uh,

725
00:41:05,080 --> 00:41:07,600
Speaker 1: you know, Jake Brown and the Cincinnati Bengals not gonna

726
00:41:07,600 --> 00:41:09,600
Speaker 1: allow them to come into Cincinnati and win today.

727
00:41:09,960 --> 00:41:12,359
