But I 20 00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,360 Speaker 2: want to talk to you before you get into the 21 00:01:00,400 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: grid ion, before we get into the scores, before we 22 00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,200 Speaker 2: get into the games, I want to talk to you 23 00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: about something everybody loves, and that's money. Could we talk 24 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:08,920 Speaker 2: money for a second. 25 00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:10,040 Speaker 4: I mean, we always can talk money. 26 00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,520 Speaker 2: Here we go. Okay, Yesterday Joe Burrow, the quarterback of 27 00:01:14,520 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals, put ink to paper, signed the contract 28 00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:20,720 Speaker 2: two hundred and nineteen million guaranteed two unto seventy five 29 00:01:20,800 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 2: million salaries for five years as quarterback for the Cincinnati Bengals. 30 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,160 Speaker 2: I think that this is, like, you know, ridiculous already. 31 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 2: But that's okay, that's the that's the going rate of quarterbacks. 32 00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,560 Speaker 2: But I got to ask you, what does this do 33 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,360 Speaker 2: to a situation when a guy like that gets all 34 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:41,120 Speaker 2: that greenback? Really? I mean, it's gotta be Look, I've 35 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,800 Speaker 2: been in office places where people get more money than 36 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:47,000 Speaker 2: another person and they're doing the same job. This friction, 37 00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:50,440 Speaker 2: there's problems. There's gotta be some sort of friction when 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:52,800 Speaker 2: a guy gets that kind of change. And then I 39 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:55,600 Speaker 2: read that T Higgins, one of the receivers on the Bengals, 40 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: he may not be there for the long haul and 41 00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:59,960 Speaker 2: the Bengals may not be paying him. It's got to 42 00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 2: it's going to be a problem, don't you think. 43 00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,600 Speaker 3: I don't know if it's necessarily a problem. When the 44 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 3: quarterback has proven that he's a franchise quarterback, when he's 45 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: proven that he's an elite quarterback. When you look at 46 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,280 Speaker 3: what the Bengals have done since Joe Burrow has entered 47 00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 3: the league, you can say that he has made the 48 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 3: biggest impact on that franchise. 49 00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 4: So he deserves to get the money that he gets. 50 00:02:21,160 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: But once you pay the quarterback fifty million plus, what 51 00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 3: has to happen is it changes who else can get paid. 52 00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 3: So when we look at the composition of most rosters, yes, 53 00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 3: you can pay the quarterback. You can pay two playmakers, 54 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:38,799 Speaker 3: either they can be wide receivers, wide receiver and or 55 00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:39,280 Speaker 3: running back. 56 00:02:39,320 --> 00:02:40,600 Speaker 4: You can pay two of those guys. 57 00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:44,519 Speaker 3: You can pay one big time offensive lineman, a pass protector, 58 00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:47,680 Speaker 3: and then it goes to two pass rushers and then 59 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,840 Speaker 3: one defensive playmaker. So about seven or eight guys can 60 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:52,000 Speaker 3: get paid like big money. 61 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 4: Everybody else you have to fill in. 62 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,640 Speaker 3: So for the Bengals, they now have to make decisions 63 00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,640 Speaker 3: going forward whom versus whom? Meaning Okay, so we know 64 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:04,200 Speaker 3: we're gonna pay Jamar Chase. Who else will we pay 65 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 3: on office? Is that T Higgins? Is that Tyler Board? 66 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,359 Speaker 3: Is that Joe Mixon? If it's T Higgins, then Joe 67 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,360 Speaker 3: Mixon has to go away. Tyler Boyd has to go 68 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 3: when you have to draft somebody to be the other receiver. 69 00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: So that's where it becomes tricky for executives. They have 70 00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,160 Speaker 3: to make hard decisions because the money allocated to the 71 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 3: quarterback reduces. 72 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,520 Speaker 4: The amount of money you can pay everybody else. 73 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:27,920 Speaker 2: Okay, but there's nothing in the locker room that's like, 74 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,400 Speaker 2: where's mine. I mean, you've been in locker rooms in 75 00:03:30,440 --> 00:03:32,920 Speaker 2: the NFL made players are saying, Hey, I'm happy for 76 00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:33,960 Speaker 2: the guy, but Whi's mine? 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 3: Well, I mean there's going to be some of that 78 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 3: if you're T Higgins, because T Higgins is going to 79 00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 3: say he's gonna look around the league and. 80 00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 4: Say, why I should be making twenty million dollars. 81 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 3: And in theory, you can have two twenty million dollars 82 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 3: receivers in Jamaar Chase and T Higgins, But you can't 83 00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:51,120 Speaker 3: have those two guys and Tyler Boyd and Joe Mixon 84 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:53,480 Speaker 3: and some of the other things and so what the 85 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:56,880 Speaker 3: Bengals have to decide what are the necessities. 86 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,320 Speaker 4: What do we need? 87 00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,240 Speaker 3: And who are the players that we deem to be 88 00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,880 Speaker 3: the luxury item? And if we're gonna keep some additional 89 00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:05,640 Speaker 3: some luxury items, where do we get that money from? 90 00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:07,040 Speaker 4: And can we keep. 91 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 3: Them without having to pay them top of the line money. 92 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 3: It becomes a look, it becomes a game where you 93 00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 3: have to make hard decisions on who you want on 94 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 3: your roster because the quarterback is gonna be there. 95 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:17,840 Speaker 4: He's not going anywhere. 96 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:21,960 Speaker 2: Amazing, all right? Now, speaking of scores and games, what's 97 00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:25,320 Speaker 2: the deal with your tar Heels of North Carolina against 98 00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:28,679 Speaker 2: app State? I mean, yesterday, double overtime, they win forty 99 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,680 Speaker 2: thirty four. Quarterback heis been hopeful. Drake May thirteen yard 100 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 2: touchdown run in the second overtime rescues your tar Heels 101 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,400 Speaker 2: and they win forty thirty four. Last year they win 102 00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,679 Speaker 2: sixty three sixty one in a game at app State. 103 00:04:42,920 --> 00:04:44,680 Speaker 2: What's the deal? I mean they would have just dropped 104 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 2: them for the schedule. 105 00:04:46,440 --> 00:04:48,200 Speaker 3: Well, I mean it's a hard it's a hard game 106 00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,360 Speaker 3: for guitar heels to play one. 107 00:04:50,400 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 4: App State is a really good program. 108 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 3: But when you play programs like app State, what happens 109 00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 3: is if you beat them, you never get the credit 110 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: that you deserve because you beat a good program because 111 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:02,400 Speaker 3: people don't view them as an elite program. They done 112 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,760 Speaker 3: view them as a top ten, top fifteen program. But 113 00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:08,280 Speaker 3: if you lose to them, then you have look holy 114 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,760 Speaker 3: hell to pay when it comes to it. Because Carolina 115 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,480 Speaker 3: was coming off an emotional win against South Carolina, you 116 00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:16,600 Speaker 3: knew it was going to be a grind to then 117 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:19,760 Speaker 3: get up emotionally to play an app State squad that, look, 118 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:23,240 Speaker 3: you won last year in an improbable win on the road. 119 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 3: And so it's just one of those things when you 120 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 3: play app State. App State is gonna gear up. It's 121 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:29,080 Speaker 3: a huge game for them, and you're trying to get 122 00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:32,080 Speaker 3: your guys up. But fortunately for the tar Heels, they 123 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,840 Speaker 3: found a way to win at the end. But it's 124 00:05:33,880 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 3: always gonna be a tough battle when you play app State, 125 00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 3: whether you play at their place or you play it 126 00:05:38,120 --> 00:05:38,800 Speaker 3: at the crib. 127 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,360 Speaker 2: There we go, Okay, now here's the deal. I mean, 128 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:46,960 Speaker 2: what's happening now with Alabama? You know, Alabama loses to Texas. 129 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 2: Texas should have beat them last year, but Alabama loses 130 00:05:49,560 --> 00:05:52,400 Speaker 2: thirty four to twenty four in Tuscaloosi. Yesterday they fall 131 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:55,960 Speaker 2: to one on one. The quarterback of Texas quinn Ewers 132 00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: twenty four to thirty eight, Jvan Sanders, a tight had 133 00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 2: five catches like one hundred and fourteen yards. This kid 134 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 2: yours basically was at Ohio State and the transferred. I mean, now, 135 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 2: what happens to Alabama, what happens if Saban doesn't make 136 00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,360 Speaker 2: it to the foot Championship round this year? I mean, 137 00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,480 Speaker 2: they're gonna go crazy down there in Tuscaloosa. 138 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, they may go crazy, but it's the evolution of 139 00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:24,520 Speaker 3: college football. What you've seen is you've seen guys who've 140 00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 3: come directly from Nick Saban's staff take the process blueprint 141 00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:32,240 Speaker 3: that he has worked so well that he's used to 142 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 3: build Alabama up into a powerhouse over the last twenty years, 143 00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,880 Speaker 3: and they've been able to put it in place at 144 00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:38,880 Speaker 3: their respective schools. 145 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,039 Speaker 4: First, Kirby Smart, because we've seen what Kirby Smart has 146 00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 4: been able to do it. Georgia he has been able 147 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,920 Speaker 4: to out Alabama Alabama the last few years. 148 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: And now we're seeing Texas. Steve Sarkesan has gone to Texas. 149 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,200 Speaker 3: He's done a really good job recruiting. He has added 150 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:56,279 Speaker 3: some toughness, some grit with his own expertise, particularly on offense, 151 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:00,479 Speaker 3: to allow this program to gain to inch closer to 152 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 3: some of the heavyweights. Everyone has always seen the potential 153 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 3: that the University of Texas has in terms of their 154 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 3: recruiting footprint and turning the brand and turning the money 155 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 3: that they can use to build a powerhouse. What we're 156 00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 3: seeing is SARK is being able to do it, and 157 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: that was a huge win for SARK and its program. 158 00:07:18,360 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 3: Look for Alabama, it's a loss, but it's a loss 159 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 3: because they still don't have a quarterback, and so that's 160 00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 3: the missing piece for them, physical, tough and all that. 161 00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,760 Speaker 3: They're still missing the quarterback. And maybe that quarterback is 162 00:07:30,760 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 3: the same got it played last night, and he grows 163 00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 3: and he develops into what they need. 164 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 4: But it's early in the year. 165 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:40,280 Speaker 3: I wouldn't dismiss or discount Alabama getting back into the 166 00:07:40,320 --> 00:07:41,360 Speaker 3: mix for the playoffs. 167 00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:42,160 Speaker 4: It's just different. 168 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 3: I think the parody and college football now, with the 169 00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 3: transfer portal and all the things that we're seeing, we're 170 00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 3: going to see more of. This is more even across 171 00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 3: the board than it happen in the past, and. 172 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:55,440 Speaker 2: Now we've got to remember that Texas and Alabama during 173 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: the same conference being the next year Texas goes into 174 00:07:57,680 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 2: the SEC. So this is going to be great, it really, 175 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:02,840 Speaker 2: I mean, it just kind of balances the power. And 176 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,000 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of anti Alabama feeling anyway, 177 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,960 Speaker 2: because they've dominated college football so long. I think it's 178 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 2: good to see some other players and some other teams 179 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: move into that slot. 180 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,200 Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be great to see. 181 00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,320 Speaker 3: And as we're looking ahead to next year, you talk 182 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,640 Speaker 3: about Texas and Oklahoma entering the SEC full time changes 183 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:26,000 Speaker 3: the look a conference that is already viewed as the 184 00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:28,560 Speaker 3: number one conference in football becomes even better because of 185 00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:31,240 Speaker 3: the two big brands that you bring into the conference. 186 00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 4: If Texas cannot. 187 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,760 Speaker 3: Only bring their brand, but if they can bring a 188 00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:38,640 Speaker 3: powerhouse program to the SEC, it means they're going to 189 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,600 Speaker 3: dominate the playoff field because more than three or four 190 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:44,720 Speaker 3: teams from the SEC are going to fill out the 191 00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 3: bracket when you have it a twelve team playoff. 192 00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:50,000 Speaker 2: All right, Now for the big story of today, because 193 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,200 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, now this is America's team. I'm 194 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 2: talking about Colorado coach Prime Deon Sanders. Colorado now is 195 00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: two to zero for the first time this twenty two 196 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:03,320 Speaker 2: as they beat up on the Cornhuskers thirty six to fourteen. 197 00:09:03,400 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: I believe me, I watched that game. They may handle them. 198 00:09:06,240 --> 00:09:08,240 Speaker 2: They really did. Although you know, they had their own 199 00:09:08,240 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 2: mistakes anyway in Nebraska and the something like you know, 200 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 2: three turnovers, two loss fumbles won at deception and that 201 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,199 Speaker 2: was in the first half with their quarterback Jeff Simms. 202 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:19,600 Speaker 2: But I think that was partially because of the Colorado defense. 203 00:09:20,920 --> 00:09:24,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, the defense stood up for Colorado in their game 204 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: against Nebraska. And I talked earlier about Carolina having a 205 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 3: tough game following the emotional game that they head the 206 00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,360 Speaker 3: opening week. Well, Colorado had something similar in terms of 207 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:37,840 Speaker 3: they go on the road, they beat TCU, they get 208 00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,640 Speaker 3: all this attention all week, a lot of attention on them. 209 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,040 Speaker 3: The challenge for coach Sanders was going to be. 210 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,360 Speaker 4: How do I keep these guys focused? 211 00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,000 Speaker 3: How does coach Prime keep them focused and engaged on 212 00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:50,959 Speaker 3: the task at hand and not look too far ahead or. 213 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 4: Kind of believe their own press clippings. 214 00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: The defense stood up after having not a great They 215 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,760 Speaker 3: didn't play well against TCU, but they came back and 216 00:09:58,760 --> 00:10:01,640 Speaker 3: played really really well against an Nebraska offense that has 217 00:10:01,679 --> 00:10:03,800 Speaker 3: been struck them, but they played well against him. And 218 00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 3: then in the second half, Shirdor Sanders continues to show 219 00:10:06,720 --> 00:10:09,400 Speaker 3: us that he has the makings of being a really 220 00:10:09,440 --> 00:10:12,800 Speaker 3: good quarterback on this level and potential beyond. And when 221 00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: you look at the speed that Colorado has, you look 222 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,760 Speaker 3: at the scheme, particularly offense, they can give upon his 223 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 3: problems and Deanna's and Dean's a good coach. He has 224 00:10:22,360 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 3: a staff that he's put together, and he's recruited good players, 225 00:10:25,360 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 3: and so if you have coaching and players, it gives 226 00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 3: you a chance. They still don't have the depth that 227 00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:31,360 Speaker 3: you need to compete with and contend with some of 228 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,040 Speaker 3: the other teams. Huge win though, two to zero for 229 00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:36,679 Speaker 3: Colorado after being one to eleven last year. Big steps 230 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: in the right direction. 231 00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 2: It was great. Now through two games. Shouldah Sanders quarterback 232 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,360 Speaker 2: for Colorado? Nine hundred three passing yards, seven touchdowns, no 233 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:48,120 Speaker 2: I iNTS, seventy seven point five percent of his passes completion. 234 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,560 Speaker 2: Can we say that now? Is his name thrown into 235 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 2: the loop for a possible Heisman Trophy? 236 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:56,320 Speaker 4: I think so. I think you can. 237 00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 3: I confinitely put that I think you definitely can put 238 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 3: that out there. You can, and you can look at 239 00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,640 Speaker 3: the numbers, you can look at the efficiency, you can 240 00:11:03,679 --> 00:11:05,679 Speaker 3: look at the way that he's played in big moments, 241 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,120 Speaker 3: meaning when they needed him to make plays. He has 242 00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 3: a handful of what we call those Heisman highlights. You know, 243 00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:12,880 Speaker 3: he had to pass that he tried to throw into 244 00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,840 Speaker 3: the corner to the running back, it is dropped, he 245 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 3: comes back, scrambles and makes a big play. Those are 246 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 3: the things that you want to see your Heisman Trophy win. 247 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:23,120 Speaker 3: Is your guys that are the best in the business 248 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 3: at quarterback. They do that, and they do it over 249 00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,080 Speaker 3: and over and again. And for two weeks we've seen 250 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,120 Speaker 3: him throw the ball a ton, but he hasn't had 251 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 3: the big mistakes. Even though he took a bunch of sacks, 252 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 3: he's protected the football. He hasn't thrown the ball in 253 00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:38,000 Speaker 3: the harm's way. And as long as he does that 254 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 3: operates at an efficient clip. With all of the attention 255 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,559 Speaker 3: on Colorado, he absolutely is going to be in. 256 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,160 Speaker 2: A conversation now just to look. You know, I do 257 00:11:46,240 --> 00:11:48,559 Speaker 2: have a heart. I'm not a heartless person. Because I'm 258 00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,840 Speaker 2: looking at this game and after the game's all over. 259 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:54,440 Speaker 2: I say, look, Nebraska a one time real powerhouse. When 260 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,360 Speaker 2: they were in the Big Eighth, Nebraska was king and 261 00:11:57,400 --> 00:11:59,640 Speaker 2: on Thanksgiving weekend they always played Oklahoma and that was 262 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,080 Speaker 2: a big But now Nebraska hit the skids. They really have. 263 00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,640 Speaker 2: They're owing to and I really feel for not Rule, 264 00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 2: the coach. He had some problems in the NFL. He 265 00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,240 Speaker 2: goes to Nebraska, he's owing too. And basically, when you're 266 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: in college football and you're owing to, you finished. Your 267 00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:16,679 Speaker 2: season's over. You may get a minor bowl game maybe, 268 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 2: but owing to goodbye wait onll next year. 269 00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:24,000 Speaker 3: I mean, that's part of it. The difference in Matt 270 00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 3: Rule and Deon Sanders. Matt Rule wants to slow cook 271 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: the grits, as we say in the South. He wants 272 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:34,080 Speaker 3: to take his time rebuilding the program. So he's doing 273 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 3: it with more freshman, more recruiting, not necessarily the transfer 274 00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: portal Dion is going for right now. He wants to 275 00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 3: transfer porter, he wants players right now. He doesn't want 276 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,640 Speaker 3: to wait. He believes that he can build a culture 277 00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 3: with so many new pieces immediately and doesn't mean one 278 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,079 Speaker 3: way is right or wrong. What is happening with Nebraska 279 00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 3: takes a little longer when you have young players trying 280 00:12:57,200 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 3: to acclimate to the college game. 281 00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 4: Young players bring into the programs. 282 00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 3: Playing football for the first time, and all that takes 283 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 3: a while to get everybody on the same page. Whereas 284 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 3: Dean has a lot of guys who have experienced and 285 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,520 Speaker 3: that experience has helped him kind of hit the ground running. 286 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 2: I would say this, if I'm an athletic threat there 287 00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,439 Speaker 2: of a major college or university, I'm not so sure 288 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,960 Speaker 2: I go for the NFL to get a coach, because 289 00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 2: right now, with the portal and transferring and things like that, 290 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:27,240 Speaker 2: I don't think NFL coaches are familiar or ready to 291 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: do something like that. Like I'm a Rule I'm getting 292 00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 2: I'd rather get a college assistant or basically a college 293 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,920 Speaker 2: coach to do that in my program. I just don't 294 00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:38,320 Speaker 2: think they're ready to do that. They're not. I think 295 00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:41,000 Speaker 2: a guy like Matt Rule's waiting for his personnel people 296 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,680 Speaker 2: in general manager to hand him a team. We're in college. 297 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:45,560 Speaker 2: You got to make your own team as a coach. 298 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:48,640 Speaker 3: Well, my Rule has done to college thing for a while. 299 00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 3: He turned around programs at Temple and Baylor. 300 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 2: Before the portal was really rolling. 301 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, before the portal and it'll take a while to 302 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 3: adapt an adjust. And what I will say, Nebraska has 303 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 3: been solid on defense the first two weeks, really good 304 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,719 Speaker 3: on defense for most part. Offensively, they can't get it going. 305 00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:07,840 Speaker 3: And when you have turnover, it just man, it just 306 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 3: kills the spirit of the team, particularly when it's the 307 00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:14,800 Speaker 3: quarterback having the same turnovers over and over and over again. 308 00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 4: They resolved. 309 00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,760 Speaker 3: If they can resolve the turnover issue, it'd give them 310 00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,800 Speaker 3: a chance to win some of these games today. 311 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,120 Speaker 2: Losing, there we go.

When the NFL won College Chars Corlorado. 362 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 10: I like what they're doing, but how are they going 363 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 10: to maintain Deon has such a lot of energy. How's 364 00:16:53,360 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 10: he going to keep those players grounded and continue this march? 365 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 10: That's the first question. 366 00:16:59,520 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 3: Uh, I would say with Prime, he does a really 367 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:04,280 Speaker 3: good job of connecting with his players. 368 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 4: He's an old school coach at heart. 369 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:07,879 Speaker 3: If you saw any of the behind the scenes stuff 370 00:17:07,920 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 3: leading up this week, he was immediately on those players 371 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,800 Speaker 3: about expecting success, demanding more from him, and being consistent. 372 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,560 Speaker 3: As long as he continues to demand that kind of effort, 373 00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:21,120 Speaker 3: that kind of focus from his team, they won't have 374 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:24,480 Speaker 3: those emotional ups and downs when they have successes. It's 375 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 3: about becoming teams like an Alabama or Georgia where each 376 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,120 Speaker 3: and every Saturday you go ahead and write their name 377 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,359 Speaker 3: into the W column because you know what you're getting. 378 00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,399 Speaker 3: I think he's trying to get that from his players 379 00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 3: by demanding consistency. 380 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:41,119 Speaker 10: Okay, and the second one this NFL. I've been married 381 00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 10: to the Dallas Cowboys, but longer than I've been my 382 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 10: wife and I love Mozelle. But there's such a roller coaster. 383 00:17:49,880 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 9: There's such a roller coaster. 384 00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:55,040 Speaker 10: If they believe their own height, how can they come 385 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:58,640 Speaker 10: back down to earth, go back to old school football, 386 00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 10: bring their lunch for the work, and keep their nose 387 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,600 Speaker 10: to the grind and get this thing done. 388 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,760 Speaker 4: You know that's the many another question. 389 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:09,360 Speaker 3: This team has no excuses this year for not being 390 00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 3: able to get it done. They should be one of 391 00:18:11,160 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 3: the teams to contend with the Niners and the Eagles 392 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: to win the NFC. 393 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:17,960 Speaker 4: Dak Prescott is back, He's healthy. 394 00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 3: He has all the weapons around him because they upgraded 395 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,640 Speaker 3: the wide receiver corp by bringing Brandon cook Brandon Cooks over. 396 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,200 Speaker 3: The offensive line is back in tact. They just paid 397 00:18:25,280 --> 00:18:28,920 Speaker 3: Terren Steele. And then defensively, Michael Parsons might be the 398 00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 3: best defensive player in football. You put him with some 399 00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:33,320 Speaker 3: of the playmakers that have on the other end, Trayvon 400 00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: Diggs and Stefan Gilmore. This team should be ready. So 401 00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:40,760 Speaker 3: I understand your anks. I understand like some of the nerves, 402 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:42,720 Speaker 3: but this team has to do it. Because they can't 403 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:43,719 Speaker 3: do it now, they'll never do it. 404 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,520 Speaker 4: So make a break year. 405 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:49,880 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean yeah, the running. The running game is critical, 406 00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,040 Speaker 3: Tony Poula. But Tony Pollit was a Pro Bowl last 407 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 3: year and so the key will be can Tony Pollack 408 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,159 Speaker 3: be the workhorse because you don't have Zeke And I 409 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:59,280 Speaker 3: know everyone was down on Deeke, but what Zeke gave 410 00:18:59,359 --> 00:19:01,440 Speaker 3: them was that phit to Caldi and he gave them 411 00:19:01,480 --> 00:19:04,480 Speaker 3: a solid presence in pass protection. Tony Poler has to 412 00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 3: up to any if he wants to be the workhorse. 413 00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 3: He has to be able to do it in those 414 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:08,000 Speaker 3: areas as well. 415 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 2: Thank you, Mel, have a good day and enjoying the 416 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:14,480 Speaker 2: games today.

The Dion question for you. 421 00:19:26,200 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 10: If Dion continues. 422 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:30,480 Speaker 11: To, you know, be progressive and do his thing in 423 00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 11: the college college game, could you see him eventually taking 424 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,800 Speaker 11: it to the prayers And if he did, and let's 425 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 11: say McCarthy has a bad year at the Cowboys, could 426 00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,639 Speaker 11: you see Jerry going for Dion or would that just 427 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:45,760 Speaker 11: kind of work out at all? 428 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:49,920 Speaker 3: In your opinions, I don't think Dean has any interest 429 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,160 Speaker 3: in going to the pros. He talked about the challenges 430 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:54,680 Speaker 3: of coaching those players sometimes when they get paid in 431 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 3: terms of like he doesn't have the patience UH to 432 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:00,720 Speaker 3: deal with like big attitudes, big egos, and guys who 433 00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:01,560 Speaker 3: aren't in. 434 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:02,120 Speaker 4: Love with the game. 435 00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:05,119 Speaker 3: The college game is, to me appears to be the 436 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,280 Speaker 3: right sweet spot for him. He gets the mentor and 437 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 3: help kids go from being boys to men in that 438 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 3: environment while also teaching the game and doing those things. 439 00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:17,280 Speaker 3: To me, I think he's a perfect fit at Colorado. 440 00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:19,920 Speaker 3: I think Colorado. I won't say it's his last stay, 441 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 3: but I think that level is where he fits at 442 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,080 Speaker 3: You when you look at how Colorado has responded to 443 00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:28,040 Speaker 3: the I would say the Prime effect man, I can't 444 00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,880 Speaker 3: imagine him wanting to go elsewhere outside of that environment. 445 00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:33,720 Speaker 2: But Buck, I can see this. If Florida State falters, 446 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,000 Speaker 2: I can see Florida State they going to pitch for him. 447 00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, they may make a pitch now, but but then 448 00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:41,680 Speaker 3: with diam want to go after being kind of like 449 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:43,560 Speaker 3: the runner up he interviewed at other jobs. 450 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:44,560 Speaker 4: They had an opportunity to. 451 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,560 Speaker 3: Hire him before and they didn't believe, So now would 452 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 3: he feel compelled to go back there? And I'll say this, 453 00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,640 Speaker 3: Mike norv has done a really good job with Florida State. 454 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:53,879 Speaker 3: I can't imagine them falling off where they want to 455 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 3: bunt like Punt on the Mic novel experience. But Prime 456 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 3: certainly will have options at It is because now more 457 00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:02,840 Speaker 3: people are believing that he is a really good coach. 458 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Thank you for the call, Josh, 459 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 2: and joyed the games today. I want to go back 460 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,720 Speaker 2: to Thursday if I can't, Opening Night, when the Lions 461 00:21:08,760 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 2: beat the Chiefs twenty one to twenty and one of 462 00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:14,120 Speaker 2: the comments that Mike Tarico the NBC broadcast happened to say, 463 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,440 Speaker 2: I think he tweeted this after the game. He said, 464 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,240 Speaker 2: you should put an asterisk next to the win because 465 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: Travis Kelsey didn't play. I think that was the most 466 00:21:21,920 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 2: moronic statement I've heard in eons in ages. I mean, 467 00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,840 Speaker 2: they won, and there's a lot of injuries on a 468 00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 2: lot of teams throughout the season. That we put asterisk 469 00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:32,800 Speaker 2: next to every single one that was wrong and it 470 00:21:32,840 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 2: was a slap in the face of the Detroit Lions, 471 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,640 Speaker 2: which I think they gutted it out. And honestly, if 472 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 2: you ask me, Jared goff outplayed Patrick Mahomes that night, 473 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: he certainly did. 474 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 4: He did. 475 00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:49,920 Speaker 3: And no one has to apologize for winning games when 476 00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,360 Speaker 3: they tee it off, whatever time they kick it off. 477 00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 4: Whoever you have, you have, and your job is to. 478 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 3: Win games with the roster that you have, and so 479 00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:59,639 Speaker 3: without Travis Kelce, without so many other guys that might 480 00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 3: have been out the lineup, no. 481 00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 4: One cares because at the end of the day. 482 00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:05,560 Speaker 3: You have pros, you have guys that are supposed to 483 00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 3: be viable backups that can replace some of that production. 484 00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,199 Speaker 4: You got to be able to get it done. 485 00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:12,600 Speaker 3: I know, without Kelsey and Chris Jones, two of the 486 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,320 Speaker 3: better players on the roster, it was an uphill battle. 487 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: But it's the Kna City Chiefs. 488 00:22:16,960 --> 00:22:18,879 Speaker 3: The defending Super Bowl champs, playing at home, and you 489 00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 3: have the best quarterback in the game and Pat Mahomes. 490 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 3: They lost that game because of drops in untimely eras. 491 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:29,199 Speaker 3: We could talk about Detroit and Detroit played solid, but 492 00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:33,479 Speaker 3: Kansas City more so lost that game than Detroit actually 493 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,000 Speaker 3: snatching it and winning it. I think if you're Andy Reid, 494 00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 3: you're looking, you can look at the tape and just 495 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:40,000 Speaker 3: point out all the errors that they made they had 496 00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:42,520 Speaker 3: nothing to do with the personnel that was missing, and 497 00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:43,399 Speaker 3: fix that. 498 00:22:43,520 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 4: They win the game, no doubt about that. 499 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:48,080 Speaker 2: Goff twenty two to thirty five, two fifty three in 500 00:22:48,119 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 2: a touchdown, And now I look at these stats, an 501 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,800 Speaker 2: amazing stat The Allions quarterback Jared Goff is third in 502 00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:57,720 Speaker 2: the top five longest streaks in the NFL history without 503 00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: throwing an interception. Aaron Rodgers first four hundred and two 504 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,800 Speaker 2: attempts in twenty eighteen, Tom Brady's second with the Tampa 505 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,640 Speaker 2: Bay Bucks in twenty twenty two with three ninety nine, 506 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,600 Speaker 2: and Jared Goff what company he's keeping right now in 507 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two and starting this season three hundred and 508 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 2: fifty nine attempts without an It it's pretty down good. 509 00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 2: It really is. 510 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:19,760 Speaker 3: It really is good, and I am glad. I'm really 511 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,440 Speaker 3: happy for Jered Goff. I felt like he was unceremoniously 512 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 3: dismissed from the Rams when they traded him for Matthew Stafford. 513 00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 4: And even though it worked out for the Rams where 514 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,640 Speaker 4: Matthew Stafford leads him to a Super Bowl, I. 515 00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:34,040 Speaker 3: Got this sense that everyone thought that Jared Goff was 516 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,440 Speaker 3: just a product of Sean mcvay's system. So to watch 517 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:39,479 Speaker 3: him go to Detroit connect with Ben Johnson play at 518 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,480 Speaker 3: the level that he's played at the last two years, 519 00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:45,520 Speaker 3: I'm really appreciative of him. And here's what we know. 520 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:48,640 Speaker 3: They're going to have to ink him to a lucrative 521 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,520 Speaker 3: contract because if he continues to play like this and 522 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 3: he thinks he has a year left on his deal, 523 00:23:53,280 --> 00:23:54,680 Speaker 3: they'll have to soun him They're gonna have to sound 524 00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:57,920 Speaker 3: the major money because the Detroit Lions are inching towards 525 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 3: not only respectability, but pay off contention, maybe eventually title contention, 526 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:04,119 Speaker 3: because Jered Goff. 527 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 4: Has been able to really get this offense up and running. 528 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 2: And let me say something about Chris Jones. You know, 529 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,280 Speaker 2: I don't care if he holds out, if he gets 530 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:12,760 Speaker 2: a raise, if he doesn't come back. I just think 531 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:15,440 Speaker 2: what he did going to that game on Thursday night, 532 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:18,200 Speaker 2: sitting in a private box with his agents. That was weak. 533 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,160 Speaker 2: That's a bad look, it really is. I mean, stay home, 534 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,639 Speaker 2: watch it with your agents at your house, at their house, 535 00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:27,080 Speaker 2: in a bar whatever. I just that was a bad 536 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 2: look for Chris Jones. 537 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,639 Speaker 4: It wasn't a great look. And I can't really understand why. 538 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:36,800 Speaker 3: I can't understand why you want to do it, or 539 00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,160 Speaker 3: why you want to go to the game with the agent. 540 00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 3: Here's the thing, Chris Jones is ultimately going to bear 541 00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: the brunt of the stuff that falls out after this. 542 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:47,920 Speaker 4: Eventually he'll get his deal. 543 00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 3: Done, but the money that he's losing, he'll never make 544 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 3: that up. His agents aren't going to pay the millions 545 00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,760 Speaker 3: and millions and fines that he's going to accrew and 546 00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 3: so to me, it's money that he'll never get back. 547 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:00,919 Speaker 3: The agents will look great r at the end of the 548 00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,800 Speaker 3: line because they'll say he's the second highest or third 549 00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,240 Speaker 3: highest paid defensive tackle, or they'll be able to brag 550 00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 3: about the guarantees. 551 00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:11,360 Speaker 4: For the next client. But Chris Jones, he'll never make 552 00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:12,120 Speaker 4: this money back. 553 00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,360 Speaker 3: To me, it's one of those things where you make 554 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 3: your point, but when you get to week one, you 555 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,240 Speaker 3: don't give up a paycheck trying to prove the point 556 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 3: for this deal. 557 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,320 Speaker 4: He'll never get this money that he's losing back. 558 00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 2: Wouldes agent tell him to do that? Wouldn't his agent 559 00:25:25,040 --> 00:25:27,720 Speaker 2: say what you just told me, Like, why are you 560 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,600 Speaker 2: doing this, Chris? You're not gonna get the money back. 561 00:25:29,760 --> 00:25:32,560 Speaker 2: Wouldn't an agent do that and give him some advice. 562 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:35,760 Speaker 4: As might be behind why he's holding out. 563 00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:38,840 Speaker 3: They may be behind that part of it, and their 564 00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,719 Speaker 3: job ultimately is to secure the future for the client. 565 00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:48,520 Speaker 3: To me, though, from a philosophical standpoint, if I am 566 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:50,920 Speaker 3: representing Chris, I never wanted to miss out a paycheck. 567 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:52,520 Speaker 3: I want to make the points. I want to get 568 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 3: a new deal done, but I don't want to hurt him. 569 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,480 Speaker 3: And because the CBA has this prohibitive language when it 570 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:01,639 Speaker 3: comes to holdouse and finds you can't wipe those fines away. 571 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 4: That money goes. 572 00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,439 Speaker 3: Regardless of how much he signs to do. He is 573 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,720 Speaker 3: going to pay eight nine tim eight dollars in fines 574 00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:13,640 Speaker 3: and there's nothing that his agents or he can do 575 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,440 Speaker 3: to prevent that money from going over to the Kansaity Chiefs. 576 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:17,880 Speaker 4: And that's Football League amazing. 577 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,560 Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks and Andy Firman.

But I do think 635 00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,240 Speaker 2: with the Bengals having more weapons than the Cleveland Browns, 636 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 2: I think the Bengals should be a favorite in this game. 637 00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: I do think there'll be a lot of points scored 638 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:18,880 Speaker 2: in this game. 639 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,440 Speaker 3: Interesting, I think the Browns are potentially the class of 640 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:25,200 Speaker 3: the AFC North. 641 00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 4: They're duken giant that I look for in the AFC. 642 00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 3: And the reason why is when I look at this team, 643 00:29:30,440 --> 00:29:33,440 Speaker 3: they don't have a glaring weakness on paper. They have 644 00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:37,120 Speaker 3: White House and Mariy Cooper, Elijah Moore, you like David 645 00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:41,680 Speaker 3: and Joku and then DPJ Donovan Peoples Jones has been solid. 646 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 3: You have a running back in Nick chub who's one 647 00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:45,440 Speaker 3: of the best, if not the best, in football. Offensive 648 00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 3: line is always well regarded. Defensively, you look at Zadarius 649 00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 3: Smith and Miles Garrett, that might be the best two. 650 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,960 Speaker 3: Pass rush might be the best pass rushing tandem that 651 00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:55,840 Speaker 3: we have in the National Football League when you look 652 00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:59,200 Speaker 3: at the production and how they're going to benefit from 653 00:29:59,240 --> 00:30:02,040 Speaker 3: playing one another. And then in the secondary, Denzel Warden 654 00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:04,720 Speaker 3: is an elite cornerback. They have other young pieces in 655 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:08,040 Speaker 3: the secondary. With Jim Schwartz, the new defensive coordinator coming over, 656 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: it'll look different to me. 657 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 4: This is a Browns day. 658 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,080 Speaker 3: This is when the Browns can kind of make their 659 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:15,200 Speaker 3: name though, So I'm excited to see this game play out. 660 00:30:15,640 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 2: You know, I'm a little jaded because I'm a Bengals 661 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:20,080 Speaker 2: fan and I follow the Bengals and I'm running for them. 662 00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:21,840 Speaker 2: But right now you make a lot of sense. I'm 663 00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 2: looking at Nick Chubb. I think Nick Chubb obviously is 664 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: a future Hall of Famer. He's got five one hundred 665 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,080 Speaker 2: yard rushing games in his career. Against the Bengals last year, 666 00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,520 Speaker 2: he rushed for one hundred one yards and two touchdowns 667 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,320 Speaker 2: and Cleveland beat them and they split last year. And 668 00:30:35,440 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 2: Joe Burrow basically not playing much at all with that 669 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 2: somewhat calf injury in the preseason. The key of this 670 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,560 Speaker 2: game I think is Deshaun Watson. Is he going to 671 00:30:43,640 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 2: come back is going to be the Deshaun Watson of old. 672 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:46,280 Speaker 2: Can he do that? 673 00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 4: We'll see huge thing. 674 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,400 Speaker 3: A lot of expectations for the Shaun Watson in year two. 675 00:30:53,880 --> 00:30:56,960 Speaker 3: Last year I was willing to dismiss and a lot 676 00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,239 Speaker 3: of people were to dismiss it because of the us 677 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:03,160 Speaker 3: from not playing for a season and a half, all 678 00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:06,200 Speaker 3: the distractions that were around him. Well, this year, none 679 00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,480 Speaker 3: of that stuff really exists. All this stuff is kind 680 00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 3: of in his past. He's had a full offseason in Cleveland. 681 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 3: He knows this offense front and back. Kevin Stefanski more 682 00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:17,800 Speaker 3: importantly knows him and understands how to call the game 683 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:18,760 Speaker 3: around his talents. 684 00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:19,959 Speaker 4: We should be a vet. 685 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,760 Speaker 3: We should see a better version of Deshaun Watson this year, 686 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 3: regardless of the money and all the other stuff. 687 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 4: People were uproared about. 688 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 3: This guy two years ago, played at a high level, 689 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,640 Speaker 3: was a top five quarterback. You're talking about a three 690 00:31:31,640 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 3: time Pro Bowler, and I know we kind of diminished 691 00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,280 Speaker 3: what Pro Bowl selection and status means. But he is 692 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 3: legit and when you look at his resume, this dude 693 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:41,680 Speaker 3: is pretty good. 694 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 4: So I'm more willing to. 695 00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,600 Speaker 3: Bank on him returning to form more so than him 696 00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:48,360 Speaker 3: continue to play at the level that we saw last year. 697 00:31:48,640 --> 00:31:50,400 Speaker 2: I would say this that Joe Burrow probably has the 698 00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:52,320 Speaker 2: best offensive line in front of him that he's had 699 00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:54,600 Speaker 2: since he's been a CINCINNTI Bengal. But if you're talking 700 00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:57,480 Speaker 2: about a game within the game, I'm looking today maybe 701 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:59,960 Speaker 2: at the Bengals left tackle Orlando Brown, who they got 702 00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,840 Speaker 2: from Kansas City, against defensive end Miles Garrett. That's going 703 00:32:03,920 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 2: to be a battle. I don't know ken Brown hold 704 00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 2: off Garrett because he's he could wreck. He could wreck 705 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:12,320 Speaker 2: a game. There's no doubt in my mind that Miles 706 00:32:12,320 --> 00:32:13,640 Speaker 2: Garrett could just change the game. 707 00:32:15,240 --> 00:32:18,760 Speaker 4: Miles Gary can absolutely change the game. And that's that's 708 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 4: the thing. 709 00:32:19,360 --> 00:32:22,200 Speaker 3: In a game, particularly the opening week, when so many 710 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:25,400 Speaker 3: different factors are in play. Conditioning level is a problem 711 00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,520 Speaker 3: because no one has played a four to four quarter, 712 00:32:27,600 --> 00:32:31,360 Speaker 3: so guys gonna be sucking win early in the game. 713 00:32:31,640 --> 00:32:34,040 Speaker 3: Miles Garrett can take over late in the game against 714 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,480 Speaker 3: a tired defense that plays more snaps than they played 715 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 3: all preseason. 716 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:40,800 Speaker 4: Huge game for him. This is when his talent should 717 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:41,080 Speaker 4: take over. 718 00:32:41,120 --> 00:32:42,640 Speaker 3: And also Jim Swartz is gonna put him in a 719 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,120 Speaker 3: wide non alignment, meaning really wide on the outside shoulder 720 00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:48,320 Speaker 3: of the tackle and I allow him to really take 721 00:32:48,360 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 3: angles and use his athleticism to win. Miles Garrett could 722 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,959 Speaker 3: be a major monster this year as a pass rusher. 723 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:56,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I worry about the Bengals run game because 724 00:32:57,480 --> 00:33:00,720 Speaker 2: Pierin is gone, He's in Denver. Joe mixed in right now. 725 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 2: Didn't have a great year last year. That new offensive 726 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:06,760 Speaker 2: line can they help him? I don't know, but I 727 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,520 Speaker 2: think the run game could be a question. I think 728 00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:10,840 Speaker 2: the secondary, obviously, it's gonna be a question of brand 729 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 2: new secondary for the Cincinnati Bengals. So right now, you know, 730 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:15,880 Speaker 2: you kind of smack me around pretty good, and I'm 731 00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:17,960 Speaker 2: seeing the light. This is going to be a closer 732 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 2: game than one would think, and the game being in Cleveland, 733 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 2: and they got a lot to prove, and you're saying 734 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: that the Browns are the key to that division. This 735 00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: could be a tough one for Cincinnati. 736 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 4: Absolutely could be a tough one. 737 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,360 Speaker 3: This is one that the AFC North will be the 738 00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 3: most competitive division in football, to be the toughest division. 739 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:37,680 Speaker 3: The teams are evenly matched. You got to bring your 740 00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:39,240 Speaker 3: a game each and every week. This would be a 741 00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 3: great one to kick off the season. 742 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:43,800 Speaker 2: Well, and you like definitely Cleveland to wins in a 743 00:33:43,840 --> 00:33:44,440 Speaker 2: close one. 744 00:33:44,680 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 4: Oh no, yeah, Cleveland, I say Cleveland by field goal. 745 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,520 Speaker 2: I feel like thirty one to twenty eight something like that. 746 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:51,840 Speaker 4: Okay, if you like that score, you throw the score 747 00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 4: out there. 748 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, I can get I'm not here to bet.

He's gotta he's gotta show me something. 789 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:47,960 Speaker 2: I think maybe father time caught up to him. 790 00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,279 Speaker 4: Oh yeah, he catches up with everybody. 791 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know about that. Blame me all 792 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:58,280 Speaker 2: right on coaches that may be on the hot seat 793 00:35:58,400 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 2: this season. 794 00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:04,239 Speaker 3: Oh what, that's easy. Mike McCarthy hot seat. Dallas Cowboys 795 00:36:04,239 --> 00:36:08,799 Speaker 3: don't go. It's going to be problematic for them. Ron 796 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:11,439 Speaker 3: Rivera with the Washington Commanders, he's in a hot seat 797 00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,880 Speaker 3: because new ownership team still hasn't necessarily won at a 798 00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:16,799 Speaker 3: high level time for them to do it. He has 799 00:36:16,840 --> 00:36:18,960 Speaker 3: to do it this season or they're probably gonna look 800 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:19,719 Speaker 3: for somebody else. 801 00:36:20,320 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 4: There's always a. 802 00:36:21,080 --> 00:36:25,719 Speaker 3: Surprise firing or dismissal, someone that ends up on the 803 00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 3: hot seat that you don't expected. 804 00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:31,200 Speaker 2: What about McDermott and Buffalo. 805 00:36:32,120 --> 00:36:34,680 Speaker 4: Oh, you know, I was beginning to think. 806 00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,600 Speaker 3: I was thinking that because maybe Sean McDermott kind of 807 00:36:38,600 --> 00:36:41,600 Speaker 3: falls into the hot seat lightly just because of the 808 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,759 Speaker 3: expectations that have been around the Buffalo. Bill's still a 809 00:36:43,800 --> 00:36:46,160 Speaker 3: great job building the program back up, got them in 810 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:48,680 Speaker 3: the mix, but they haven't gone to the super Bowl. 811 00:36:49,040 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 3: It's time for this team to go. It's time for 812 00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:52,920 Speaker 3: them to go far. But I don't know if this 813 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:55,080 Speaker 3: is the team that can get it done. Also, don't 814 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,680 Speaker 3: forget Sean McDermott has taken over the defensive play calling. 815 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 4: It will be interesting to watch. 816 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,680 Speaker 3: This version of the defense versus the version that Leslie 817 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,400 Speaker 3: Fraser led the last few years. 818 00:37:05,600 --> 00:37:07,680 Speaker 2: They lack a running game. I don't think they ares 819 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,160 Speaker 2: strong as they were last year, and they got some 820 00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:12,759 Speaker 2: internal problems with the quarterback and his receiver. There are 821 00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,520 Speaker 2: some problems over there and that may surface as the 822 00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 2: season goes on. 823 00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:20,080 Speaker 4: Oh absolutely, all right, I mean there's a lot of 824 00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:21,040 Speaker 4: stuff there. 825 00:37:21,080 --> 00:37:25,400 Speaker 2: We go now. Question, did Sean McVay make a huge 826 00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,719 Speaker 2: mistake by returning to coach the Rams. He allegedly had 827 00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:31,240 Speaker 2: a position on TV. I think it was with Apple TV. 828 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,560 Speaker 3: I can't say that he made a mistake. I'm glad 829 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:38,120 Speaker 3: that he came back. It would have been more to me, 830 00:37:38,160 --> 00:37:40,560 Speaker 3: it would have been more like him running running from 831 00:37:40,560 --> 00:37:44,080 Speaker 3: the university, running from the problem. You got the bag, 832 00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,279 Speaker 3: you got the team to the super Bowl, you took 833 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:48,000 Speaker 3: all the players, and then you're going to leave the 834 00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:52,319 Speaker 3: Rams baron. No players know anything like Hey, I'm gone, 835 00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 3: I'm going to TV take this because she gig no. 836 00:37:54,840 --> 00:37:55,920 Speaker 4: I wanted to see him fight through it. 837 00:37:55,960 --> 00:37:58,840 Speaker 3: I want to see him fight back from a difficult 838 00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:01,440 Speaker 3: circumstance and see if he is the brilliant coach that 839 00:38:01,480 --> 00:38:03,080 Speaker 3: we all expect him to be. 840 00:38:03,160 --> 00:38:04,800 Speaker 4: With a view him as. 841 00:38:04,719 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 2: There's a lot of people that would say, hey, look, 842 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:09,439 Speaker 2: you had a cushion job in television. Allegedly you could 843 00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 2: have gone. You ended up winning a super Bowl. You 844 00:38:11,320 --> 00:38:13,719 Speaker 2: go out on top. But you know, you know better 845 00:38:13,800 --> 00:38:16,480 Speaker 2: than most these guys who are coaches. They got this 846 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:20,960 Speaker 2: DNA like they can't leave. It's part of their makeup. 847 00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:22,560 Speaker 2: I mean, and you you've been a coach, you know 848 00:38:22,600 --> 00:38:25,000 Speaker 2: what it's like. I mean, to sit there in a 849 00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,560 Speaker 2: TV booth and just watch a game. You got the 850 00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,800 Speaker 2: juices flowing. You wish you were down on the field. 851 00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,640 Speaker 4: Oh, you absolutely wish you were down on the field. 852 00:38:32,840 --> 00:38:35,080 Speaker 3: You miss it. You never can get that feeling back. 853 00:38:35,120 --> 00:38:38,840 Speaker 3: There's nothing that replaces being in the mix. And he 854 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 3: would look, he would have had a tough time replacing 855 00:38:41,440 --> 00:38:42,280 Speaker 3: and filling that void. 856 00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 4: Being on the game. 857 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,319 Speaker 3: Talking about the game is nothing like looking at the 858 00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600 Speaker 3: scoreboard at the end, where you have a winner and 859 00:38:47,680 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 3: a loser. 860 00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:51,200 Speaker 2: There you go. Now, which of these teams have the 861 00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:53,279 Speaker 2: better chance of making it to the Super Bowl. I'll 862 00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:55,840 Speaker 2: give you some choices. I'll give you three choices of 863 00:38:55,920 --> 00:39:01,320 Speaker 2: teams making it to the Super Bowl. Dallas, Jacksonville, or Denver. 864 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 3: The Dallas Cowboys have a better chance. The NFC is week. 865 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:09,600 Speaker 3: They have two teams that they have to knock off 866 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:11,600 Speaker 3: to get there. That will be the Philadelphia Eagles and 867 00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,000 Speaker 3: the San Francisco forty nine Ers if they do it 868 00:39:14,200 --> 00:39:17,600 Speaker 3: the right way. And we talked about Dak and that 869 00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:20,400 Speaker 3: stuff early, but Dak Prescott. 870 00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:22,160 Speaker 4: Dominates the NFC East when he's been available. 871 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:24,239 Speaker 3: So if they win the division, they're looking at the 872 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 3: number two seed. They have to find a way to 873 00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 3: knock off the San Francisco forty nine ers, who put 874 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 3: them out the postseason the last two years. Yeah, but 875 00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:34,080 Speaker 3: the Dallas Cowboys to me, of those three, they have 876 00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:34,759 Speaker 3: the better chance. 877 00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 2: Okay, you did mention the Philadelphia Eagles in that division. 878 00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:40,960 Speaker 2: With the Dallas Cowboys and certainly a Super Bowl contender, 879 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:43,759 Speaker 2: what do they need to push them over the top. 880 00:39:43,800 --> 00:39:46,360 Speaker 2: What do the Eagles basically need to make them a 881 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:48,160 Speaker 2: Super Bowl winner? Not a contender. 882 00:39:49,600 --> 00:39:51,160 Speaker 4: Jude should have won the Super Bowl last year. 883 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,040 Speaker 3: If they take care of the ball jayleen Hurst doesn't fumble 884 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 3: at the end of the first half, they have a chance. 885 00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 4: This team is ready. 886 00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,960 Speaker 3: They're dealing with a bunch of young players stepping in 887 00:39:59,360 --> 00:40:01,600 Speaker 3: filling key roles, but they're ready to go. 888 00:40:01,680 --> 00:40:03,759 Speaker 4: They've drafted Will. Everything is right there for him. 889 00:40:03,800 --> 00:40:06,960 Speaker 3: I think it's about Jayalen Hurst continue to progress as 890 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 3: a franchise quarterback, as a top five quarterback, taking his 891 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:10,840 Speaker 3: game to the next level. 892 00:40:11,800 --> 00:40:15,960 Speaker 2: All right, and last, but not least, your super Bowl 893 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:19,719 Speaker 2: pick for twenty twenty four. Basically, not only the super 894 00:40:19,719 --> 00:40:21,839 Speaker 2: Bowl pick, who will be playing in the Super Bowl 895 00:40:21,840 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 2: and who's gonna win? 896 00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:31,280 Speaker 3: Oh, that's tough. Let's go with hmm in the NFC. 897 00:40:32,200 --> 00:40:36,480 Speaker 3: Let's put the Philadelphia Eagles back in there to make 898 00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:42,879 Speaker 3: it right. The Philadelphia Eagles will win against I don't 899 00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 3: like Baltimore. Let's go Baltimore Ravens, Philadelphia over Baltimore and 900 00:40:46,680 --> 00:40:49,640 Speaker 3: Super Bowl. Wow, I guess I'll let me think about it. 901 00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 2: I don't know it's gonna be. We'll continue right here. 902 00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:55,319 Speaker 2: I'm Fox.

De man. 911 00:41:19,080 --> 00:41:21,719 Speaker 2: It was only answers, and I pressure him for that 912 00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 2: as well because I love listening to his football acumen, 913 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:27,520 Speaker 2: The one and only Bucky Brooks. Hello, Buck, how are you? 914 00:41:28,840 --> 00:41:30,240 Speaker 4: What's going on? Mare? What's happening? 915 00:41:30,600 --> 00:41:32,160 Speaker 2: Well, I tell you what I want to embarrass you 916 00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:34,360 Speaker 2: right now, because I'm going to tell America that you 917 00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:36,640 Speaker 2: write for NFL dot com And if you don't read 918 00:41:36,840 --> 00:41:39,520 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks on Friday at NFL dot com, you're out 919 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 2: of your mind. If you're a football fan, you got 920 00:41:41,600 --> 00:41:43,759 Speaker 2: to read it. I read it and sometimes I'll bring 921 00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:45,520 Speaker 2: it on here to discuss it. And that's what I'm 922 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,879 Speaker 2: going to do right now because you wrote something very 923 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 2: very interesting and informative on Friday this week, calling the 924 00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 2: sleeper and the paper tiger in the NFL this year. 925 00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:58,280 Speaker 2: And the sleeper you said are the Green Bay Packers, 926 00:41:58,400 --> 00:42:00,799 Speaker 2: And I scratched my head. How could that team be 927 00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,680 Speaker 2: a sleeper with an unproven quarterback in Jordan Love. 928 00:42:05,480 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, this seam is a sleeper because the pieces around 929 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:12,400 Speaker 3: Jordan Love are really solid and the style change that 930 00:42:12,440 --> 00:42:14,560 Speaker 3: the Packers would have to make might be more conducive 931 00:42:14,600 --> 00:42:18,760 Speaker 3: to their postseason success. The Green Bay Packers have relied 932 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:22,239 Speaker 3: extensively on Aaron Rodgers to carry them as far as 933 00:42:22,280 --> 00:42:24,319 Speaker 3: they could go in the postseason. It's been about the 934 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:26,799 Speaker 3: passing game has been about number twelve throwing the ball 935 00:42:26,840 --> 00:42:28,560 Speaker 3: over the yard, and they were able to do whatever 936 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,879 Speaker 3: they could do with him on his right arm. Well, 937 00:42:31,920 --> 00:42:35,319 Speaker 3: now you have Jordan Love taken over. That means that 938 00:42:35,320 --> 00:42:37,600 Speaker 3: Matt Lafoy's going to look and say, hey, can Jordan 939 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,239 Speaker 3: Love really carry this team as a passer. Maybe I 940 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 3: need to balance it out lean on the running game 941 00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:46,200 Speaker 3: Aaron Jones and aj Dillon. Maybe we can diversify our 942 00:42:46,239 --> 00:42:48,279 Speaker 3: package a little bit, play more two tight ends. So 943 00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:51,600 Speaker 3: they drafted one and Luke muskgrave to go at Christian 944 00:42:51,600 --> 00:42:55,359 Speaker 3: Watson and Romeo Dipps outside. Defensively, there are eight first 945 00:42:55,440 --> 00:42:58,839 Speaker 3: round picks that are within the rotation eight first round picks, 946 00:42:58,880 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 3: so the defense should be the strength based on where 947 00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:05,960 Speaker 3: you've allocated the talent. And this team with Joe Berry decoordinated, 948 00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 3: they finished middle of the pack last year, when now 949 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:09,719 Speaker 3: you expect them to finish in the top ten. So 950 00:43:09,760 --> 00:43:11,680 Speaker 3: if they finished for the top ten defense and played 951 00:43:11,719 --> 00:43:15,440 Speaker 3: more of a complimentary style of football where the offense, defense, 952 00:43:15,480 --> 00:43:18,440 Speaker 3: and special teams are kind of unified and how they're playing, 953 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:20,759 Speaker 3: this team can still win a lot of games because the. 954 00:43:20,719 --> 00:43:23,160 Speaker 4: Talent is up there. One of the more talented teams 955 00:43:23,160 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 4: in the league. 956 00:43:23,719 --> 00:43:26,479 Speaker 2: Just young playoff team. Will they make the playoffs because 957 00:43:26,480 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 2: I think in that division right now it's somewhat wide open. 958 00:43:29,320 --> 00:43:32,520 Speaker 2: With Aaron Rodgers gone from Green Bay, you know, basically 959 00:43:32,520 --> 00:43:35,160 Speaker 2: other teams that are being available to When did they 960 00:43:35,200 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 2: talk about Detroit? Minnesota pushed up there last year they 961 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:40,640 Speaker 2: made the playoffs. A disappointing lost of the Giants in 962 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:42,840 Speaker 2: the playoffs. But I think it's open right now for anyone. 963 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:46,080 Speaker 3: It is wide open for me, and that's why I 964 00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,160 Speaker 3: say that they're the surprise contender because it's open. It's 965 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:52,440 Speaker 3: open for them to go back, not to the playoffs 966 00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:55,600 Speaker 3: as a division champion, and none of us would have 967 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,479 Speaker 3: had that on our bingo card when Aaron Rodgers left, 968 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,200 Speaker 3: but just the way that this team could come together, 969 00:44:01,239 --> 00:44:05,320 Speaker 3: the way this team looks balanced in terms of offense, defense, 970 00:44:05,360 --> 00:44:07,680 Speaker 3: and what they have in the kicking game, this team 971 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 3: can absolutely win ten or more games ago to the postseason. 972 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,600 Speaker 2: Okay, we moved out to the Paper Tiger and we 973 00:44:12,719 --> 00:44:14,600 Speaker 2: kind of touched on this, at least you did, and 974 00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:17,719 Speaker 2: I certainly agree with you. And look the over high 975 00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,800 Speaker 2: Buffalo Bills. The run is over in Western New York. 976 00:44:22,080 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 2: I agree with you, and tell us why because right 977 00:44:24,800 --> 00:44:27,879 Speaker 2: now I think there's internal problems. They lack a running game, 978 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,120 Speaker 2: and look, they've climbed them out, but it never reached 979 00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:32,160 Speaker 2: to the top. And I think that they is done. 980 00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:33,960 Speaker 2: You know, if they haven't done it by now, ain't 981 00:44:33,960 --> 00:44:34,520 Speaker 2: gonna do it. 982 00:44:36,320 --> 00:44:38,040 Speaker 3: I'm kind of with you in that normally you have 983 00:44:38,120 --> 00:44:40,560 Speaker 3: a run of about three to four years with the 984 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:43,080 Speaker 3: current version of a team before you have to make changes. 985 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:45,600 Speaker 3: So during the last three or four years, the Buffalo 986 00:44:45,640 --> 00:44:48,640 Speaker 3: Bills have been right on the edge, right on the 987 00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:50,799 Speaker 3: verge of surpassing the Kansa City Chiefs as a team 988 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:53,239 Speaker 3: to be in the AFC, haven't been able to get 989 00:44:53,320 --> 00:44:53,880 Speaker 3: it done. 990 00:44:54,080 --> 00:44:54,879 Speaker 4: When I look at this. 991 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:57,160 Speaker 3: Team now, the roster is weaker than it have been 992 00:44:57,360 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 3: in the past. They don't have an established number two 993 00:44:59,719 --> 00:45:03,640 Speaker 3: receivers opposite Stephan Diggs. I understand they drafted Dalton Kincaid 994 00:45:03,760 --> 00:45:06,240 Speaker 3: to go with Dawson Knox, but it's different having another 995 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:08,520 Speaker 3: guy in the passing game that you absolutely have the 996 00:45:08,520 --> 00:45:10,360 Speaker 3: game plan for it. They don't have that in the 997 00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:13,839 Speaker 3: running game. They don't have an established or proven workhorse back. 998 00:45:13,880 --> 00:45:15,879 Speaker 3: So that means Josh Allen has a continue to run 999 00:45:15,920 --> 00:45:17,680 Speaker 3: around and do all the things that he's done being 1000 00:45:17,719 --> 00:45:18,640 Speaker 3: a super hero. 1001 00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:21,160 Speaker 4: And so when you're a superhero latent games, when you 1002 00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 4: run out of gas, that's when the mistakes happen. So 1003 00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 4: this team does not look the same. 1004 00:45:25,239 --> 00:45:28,520 Speaker 3: And the final part of why I'm really hesitant on 1005 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:30,880 Speaker 3: or really down on their chances of being able to 1006 00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:34,480 Speaker 3: go back Sean McDermott taking over for the defense for 1007 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:38,719 Speaker 3: Leslie Fraser. I can't talk about the challenge it is 1008 00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:41,200 Speaker 3: to get a team a unit ready to play while 1009 00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,360 Speaker 3: also getting the entire team ready to play huge challenge 1010 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:47,160 Speaker 3: that Sean McDermott has taken on, and they don't have 1011 00:45:47,239 --> 00:45:48,920 Speaker 3: the same kind of talent that they once have. 1012 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:56,399 Speaker 4: It's a trick team. Mill is not back. 1013 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's not there, and so this team is coming 1014 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:01,680 Speaker 3: more back to the pack than separating. And with the 1015 00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,400 Speaker 3: division being as tough as he with Miami and the 1016 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:08,400 Speaker 3: Jets making major moves, I think the Bills could be 1017 00:46:08,480 --> 00:46:09,839 Speaker 3: on the outside looking in this year. 1018 00:46:10,239 --> 00:46:11,959 Speaker 2: You know, they're lack a strong running game, and look, 1019 00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:16,200 Speaker 2: I think that you can't overlook that Stefan Diggs, Josh Allen, 1020 00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:21,000 Speaker 2: lack of chemistry. There's a problem there. There's a chemistry issue, 1021 00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:24,000 Speaker 2: and that could really roll onto the playing field. Maybe 1022 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,520 Speaker 2: I'm mistaken. I never played the game, but I do 1023 00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,080 Speaker 2: believe that if you don't like somebody, you're not gonna 1024 00:46:29,160 --> 00:46:31,880 Speaker 2: like them in uniform or out of uniform. That's the 1025 00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: end of the deal. 1026 00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 4: That is the end of the deal. And that's that's 1027 00:46:35,880 --> 00:46:36,920 Speaker 4: something they have to look at. 1028 00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,279 Speaker 3: It's a big part. I mean, it's a concern. It's 1029 00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:41,280 Speaker 3: a excern that everyone's not on the same page. 1030 00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:43,279 Speaker 2: There you go, Okay, you and I are always on 1031 00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:44,799 Speaker 2: the same page. I want to look at this game. 1032 00:46:45,200 --> 00:46:47,279 Speaker 2: It's an interesting game if you're wagering. I tell you what, 1033 00:46:47,360 --> 00:46:49,000 Speaker 2: these one of those games. I think I'd stay away 1034 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,480 Speaker 2: from the Titans and the Saints at the Saints this 1035 00:46:52,520 --> 00:46:55,600 Speaker 2: say afternoon, and to me, you know, you talk about 1036 00:46:55,600 --> 00:46:57,880 Speaker 2: the Titans, but to me, they're the same old Titans. 1037 00:46:58,080 --> 00:47:01,799 Speaker 2: Ryan Tannehill's the quarterback, and everything on the offense is 1038 00:47:01,800 --> 00:47:03,880 Speaker 2: gonna go through running back Derek Henry. Does he have 1039 00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,319 Speaker 2: any trends left on his tires? I mean it's the 1040 00:47:06,360 --> 00:47:10,000 Speaker 2: same basic Titans team. Really depend upon defense and depend 1041 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:11,440 Speaker 2: upon Derek Henry on offense. 1042 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's what it is, and it's hard. It's hard 1043 00:47:15,120 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 3: to win games in one with a one dimensional approach, 1044 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,760 Speaker 3: but that's what it is. People will talk about DeAndre Hopkins. 1045 00:47:20,880 --> 00:47:23,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if DeAndre Hopkins can create enough separation 1046 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:27,480 Speaker 3: and consistently get opened for Ryan Tannehill. We need to 1047 00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:30,560 Speaker 3: see him prove that he's still an elite player or 1048 00:47:30,560 --> 00:47:33,200 Speaker 3: a true number one before we can kind of sign 1049 00:47:33,239 --> 00:47:35,440 Speaker 3: off on the Titans being all the way back. This 1050 00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:37,600 Speaker 3: game is alsomeately gonna be decided on how big of 1051 00:47:37,600 --> 00:47:40,120 Speaker 3: a game Derrick Henry has. If Derrick Henry goes over 1052 00:47:40,239 --> 00:47:42,160 Speaker 3: one point fifty, Yeah, they can win. But if it's 1053 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,520 Speaker 3: be lower that, it's gonna be hard for me to 1054 00:47:44,560 --> 00:47:48,440 Speaker 3: see how they can generate enough explosive plays to offset. 1055 00:47:48,480 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 4: But the Saints can do offensively. 1056 00:47:50,280 --> 00:47:52,160 Speaker 2: You know, it's gonna be a tough one because of 1057 00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,080 Speaker 2: the Saints right now without their running back Alvin Kamara. 1058 00:47:55,160 --> 00:47:58,840 Speaker 2: So I don't know, but I would take the Saints 1059 00:47:58,880 --> 00:48:01,280 Speaker 2: for several reasons. Number one game is in New Orleans. 1060 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:03,839 Speaker 2: Number two, that got Derek Carr. I like Derek Carr, 1061 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:06,359 Speaker 2: and to me, in the National Football League, it's all 1062 00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:08,880 Speaker 2: about the quarterback. And I think Derek Carr is obviously 1063 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:11,719 Speaker 2: head and shoulders above Ryan Tannehill. And they got Chris 1064 00:48:11,719 --> 00:48:14,799 Speaker 2: Olave as a receiver, the kid from Ohio State. I 1065 00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:16,239 Speaker 2: think that's a big deal. I really do. 1066 00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:21,919 Speaker 4: It is a big deal, and Chris Olave the thing 1067 00:48:22,040 --> 00:48:22,360 Speaker 4: with me. 1068 00:48:23,719 --> 00:48:25,359 Speaker 3: It will be later in the year with Derek Carr, 1069 00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:26,920 Speaker 3: he'll come out like it sarrias on fire. 1070 00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:29,360 Speaker 4: He'll be motivated. They'll do a great job of putting 1071 00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:31,800 Speaker 4: together plan and putting together plans the early part of 1072 00:48:31,800 --> 00:48:33,680 Speaker 4: the season. When his tape. 1073 00:48:33,440 --> 00:48:36,680 Speaker 3: Starts to circulate, how does he adapt to the defenses 1074 00:48:36,719 --> 00:48:39,360 Speaker 3: that deal with him shouldn't be an issue this week. 1075 00:48:39,600 --> 00:48:40,960 Speaker 4: But at some point he's. 1076 00:48:40,760 --> 00:48:42,439 Speaker 3: Gonna have to take his game up on us because 1077 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 3: it won't be good enough for him to do what 1078 00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:44,040 Speaker 3: he did. 1079 00:48:44,680 --> 00:48:46,480 Speaker 2: Do we both agree that it's going to be the Saints. 1080 00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,680 Speaker 4: Yes, we got agree with that. 1081 00:48:49,960 --> 00:48:52,920 Speaker 2: Okay, you said something that kind of really resonated in 1082 00:48:52,920 --> 00:48:55,600 Speaker 2: my mind, and you said that Baltimore maybe going to 1083 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:58,080 Speaker 2: the super Bowl, right And that's fine. You know, I 1084 00:48:58,120 --> 00:49:00,880 Speaker 2: certainly respect your opinion. Been there done that, you know 1085 00:49:01,239 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 2: is more football than I'll ever want to know, and 1086 00:49:04,040 --> 00:49:05,880 Speaker 2: because you played the game. But I want to go 1087 00:49:05,960 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 2: back to the Baltimore game today. They're playing at home 1088 00:49:08,760 --> 00:49:12,000 Speaker 2: against the Texans, and I think right now, will we 1089 00:49:12,120 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: see a different offense in Baltimore right now? Less running 1090 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:19,440 Speaker 2: from Lamar Jackson beacause he got some veterans, some veteran 1091 00:49:19,520 --> 00:49:23,760 Speaker 2: Odell Beckham junior and a rookie and Jay Flowers as receivers. Coach, 1092 00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,160 Speaker 2: he's got new weapons. Will we see him passing the 1093 00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:27,360 Speaker 2: ballmore and running less? 1094 00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:32,719 Speaker 3: We will see him throw the ball more. He will 1095 00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:34,799 Speaker 3: run less because they're trying to preserve him. They paid 1096 00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 3: him the money that they paid him, and so they're 1097 00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:38,600 Speaker 3: going to give him every opportunity to show people that 1098 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,520 Speaker 3: he can throw it all over the yard. To me, 1099 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:43,760 Speaker 3: it is a flawed strategy because what made them special 1100 00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:44,919 Speaker 3: was their differences. 1101 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:47,040 Speaker 4: I mean, everyone else is throwing. 1102 00:49:46,800 --> 00:49:49,400 Speaker 3: The ball around the playing spread formations. They lined up 1103 00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:52,840 Speaker 3: in some unconventional formations, ran the football. Lamar Jackson was 1104 00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:56,759 Speaker 3: a runner playmaker. Now you're asking him to be more 1105 00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,400 Speaker 3: of a traditional passer. Can he be special as a 1106 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:04,040 Speaker 3: traditional player when he's been really special as an unorthodox, 1107 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:06,640 Speaker 3: different kind of playmaker in the backfield? 1108 00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:07,239 Speaker 4: Right? 1109 00:50:07,840 --> 00:50:11,719 Speaker 2: I don't see the Texans challenging Baltimore today, especially the 1110 00:50:11,800 --> 00:50:14,719 Speaker 2: game there with their rookie quarterback CJ. Strott. I don't 1111 00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,520 Speaker 2: think it happening. But they can score some points, but 1112 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,440 Speaker 2: I do believe it'll be a low scoring game, and 1113 00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:22,160 Speaker 2: I think Baltimore wins this game, and I think they'll 1114 00:50:22,160 --> 00:50:24,759 Speaker 2: win it on the passing rather than the running and 1115 00:50:24,800 --> 00:50:26,440 Speaker 2: the legs of Lamar Jackson. 1116 00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, we get a chance to see everybody's wanted to 1117 00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:31,640 Speaker 3: see Lamar Jackson make major strides in the pocket. We 1118 00:50:31,760 --> 00:50:34,040 Speaker 3: have a chance to assess how far he's coming. 1119 00:50:34,080 --> 00:50:36,600 Speaker 2: A little time now when they sign an Odell Beckham 1120 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,640 Speaker 2: junior and they draft the rookies a Flowers as a receiver. 1121 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,200 Speaker 2: Is this something the organization does because they want to 1122 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,640 Speaker 2: save his legs, they're fearful of him getting injured, or 1123 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,400 Speaker 2: they want to go in a different direction, or just 1124 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:51,680 Speaker 2: they got great players out there and they say, look, 1125 00:50:51,719 --> 00:50:55,839 Speaker 2: we're gonna get the best player available. We're gonna sign them. 1126 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,640 Speaker 3: It might be a combination of a few different things. 1127 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:01,200 Speaker 3: It's the best player available because you want to upgrade 1128 00:51:01,239 --> 00:51:04,680 Speaker 3: the pieces around him. He's super talented. He still has 1129 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,600 Speaker 3: some juice left. We've seen other Beckham junior make plays. 1130 00:51:07,640 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 3: We also have seen Zay Flowers to crush it at 1131 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,480 Speaker 3: the collegiate level. You bring him in because you're hopeful 1132 00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,120 Speaker 3: that okay, you have Odell for a year, maybe two. 1133 00:51:16,200 --> 00:51:18,560 Speaker 3: But Jay Flowers at some point was drafted to be 1134 00:51:18,600 --> 00:51:21,560 Speaker 3: the number one receiver. When he's ready to be the 1135 00:51:21,640 --> 00:51:24,680 Speaker 3: number one, then you'll see them shuffle the deck chairs 1136 00:51:25,040 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 3: and figure out who should be the top priority in 1137 00:51:27,680 --> 00:51:28,239 Speaker 3: the passing here. 1138 00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,200 Speaker 2: All right, We got a phone call from Fort Myers, Florida. 1139 00:51:31,440 --> 00:51:33,360 Speaker 2: His name is Randy. Randy, you want to talk to 1140 00:51:33,400 --> 00:51:38,160 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks. Fox football Sunday right now, go ahead, Ran Born. 1141 00:51:38,080 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 9: The gentlemen, Just just a quick one for you. I 1142 00:51:40,280 --> 00:51:42,440 Speaker 9: know how hard it is for a minority candidate to 1143 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,000 Speaker 9: get a head coaching job in the NFL. But I'm 1144 00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 9: not big on todd Ball with my books, and I 1145 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:48,640 Speaker 9: don't know how long he's going to be around there 1146 00:51:48,719 --> 00:51:50,400 Speaker 9: or how long you think Baker Mayfield will even be 1147 00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:52,680 Speaker 9: around here? And real quick, if I could add, why 1148 00:51:52,719 --> 00:51:54,960 Speaker 9: would this hot heat down here in Florida? And with 1149 00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:58,040 Speaker 9: the tax base, why aren't the three Florida teams any better? 1150 00:51:58,320 --> 00:51:58,680 Speaker 9: Thank you? 1151 00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:01,560 Speaker 2: I think the Dolphins would be tough. I think the 1152 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,920 Speaker 2: Dolphins would be good this year. Really. I mean they've 1153 00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:06,160 Speaker 2: got to keep too a healthy. But other than that, 1154 00:52:06,960 --> 00:52:09,600 Speaker 2: you know, the Buccaneers they're going in a different direction. 1155 00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:12,600 Speaker 2: I mean there's there's no more Tom Brady and they're 1156 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 2: gutting a new era right now with Baker Mayfield, I mean, 1157 00:52:15,320 --> 00:52:17,399 Speaker 2: getting another chance. But can he get it done? Buck? 1158 00:52:17,560 --> 00:52:19,120 Speaker 2: Can Baker Mayfield? Is he the man? 1159 00:52:20,360 --> 00:52:23,560 Speaker 3: He's a placeholder right now? The Bucks are in transition. 1160 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,400 Speaker 3: They have some pieces on outside where they can be competitive, 1161 00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:29,600 Speaker 3: and the hope is you take a chance on the 1162 00:52:29,600 --> 00:52:32,800 Speaker 3: former number. The former number one overall pick. 1163 00:52:33,239 --> 00:52:35,759 Speaker 4: He's good enough to manage the offense, keep the team 1164 00:52:35,800 --> 00:52:36,480 Speaker 4: in games. 1165 00:52:36,200 --> 00:52:40,640 Speaker 3: Without messing it up. That that's the story. The story is, 1166 00:52:40,719 --> 00:52:43,640 Speaker 3: can Baker Mayfield not mess it up? Can he hold 1167 00:52:43,680 --> 00:52:46,359 Speaker 3: them to the ball and those things? Number suggests he's 1168 00:52:46,400 --> 00:52:48,560 Speaker 3: gonna turn it over. But you gotta minimize some of 1169 00:52:48,560 --> 00:52:51,040 Speaker 3: the mistakes at a position. You minimize the mistakes of 1170 00:52:51,080 --> 00:52:53,240 Speaker 3: the position, they can win a lot more games. 1171 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:58,359 Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield could keep this team competitive until they able 1172 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 4: to get an elite play make at the position that 1173 00:53:01,040 --> 00:53:02,040 Speaker 4: can push them over the top. 1174 00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:04,920 Speaker 2: Yeah. And it's funny because I have receivers in Godwin 1175 00:53:05,239 --> 00:53:08,200 Speaker 2: and Evans, but we read recently that they're going in 1176 00:53:08,239 --> 00:53:10,279 Speaker 2: that different direction. Mike Emmans is not going to be 1177 00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:13,120 Speaker 2: signed long term, and I think they're kind of going 1178 00:53:13,160 --> 00:53:16,040 Speaker 2: in that direction of clearing the house and building for 1179 00:53:16,080 --> 00:53:20,480 Speaker 2: the future. Baker Mayfield, obviously, unless he does something spectacular, 1180 00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:21,560 Speaker 2: he's not the future. 1181 00:53:22,560 --> 00:53:23,120 Speaker 4: No, he's not. 1182 00:53:23,480 --> 00:53:25,920 Speaker 3: And this is a chance for him to put some 1183 00:53:26,400 --> 00:53:29,120 Speaker 3: nice tape out there, to display some leadership ability, some 1184 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:32,400 Speaker 3: competency as a starter. So the next team will have 1185 00:53:32,480 --> 00:53:34,680 Speaker 3: an opportunity to say, hey, you know what, we like 1186 00:53:34,760 --> 00:53:38,040 Speaker 3: him we'll take a chance on them, and you hope. 1187 00:53:38,239 --> 00:53:40,279 Speaker 3: Like in everyone hosts and I'm not gonna work from here. 1188 00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:42,120 Speaker 3: Everyone hosts that their quarterback is able to make it 1189 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:44,720 Speaker 3: through the season. It's typically not out of reality. Based 1190 00:53:44,760 --> 00:53:50,919 Speaker 3: on seventy seven received sev seventy plus different quarterbacks kind 1191 00:53:50,920 --> 00:53:52,800 Speaker 3: of had an opportunity to start games. 1192 00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:54,719 Speaker 4: It's a tough one. We'll see what it looks like. 1193 00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:55,120 Speaker 4: You know. 1194 00:53:55,480 --> 00:53:58,480 Speaker 2: I'll give our a phone caller, Randy, some some confidence 1195 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:01,239 Speaker 2: over here. The Buccaneers are play in Minnesota today in 1196 00:54:01,239 --> 00:54:03,839 Speaker 2: the Vikings, and I think that the Bucks can keep 1197 00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:05,960 Speaker 2: up with the Vikings because there's a lot of questions 1198 00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,359 Speaker 2: there in Minnesota with the departure of Dalvin Cook at 1199 00:54:09,360 --> 00:54:12,680 Speaker 2: the running back position. So there's a possibility here. I 1200 00:54:12,719 --> 00:54:14,640 Speaker 2: don't think the Bucks will win that game. I think 1201 00:54:14,680 --> 00:54:17,520 Speaker 2: they could keep it close, but there's a possibility there. 1202 00:54:17,880 --> 00:54:20,279 Speaker 2: I like the Vikings in this one in a close one, 1203 00:54:20,280 --> 00:54:24,200 Speaker 2: maybe by a touchdown, but the Bucks could hang with him. 1204 00:54:24,880 --> 00:54:27,440 Speaker 3: The Buck tann't absolutely hang with him. This should be 1205 00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:30,239 Speaker 3: a game that's a one score game. It comes down 1206 00:54:30,280 --> 00:54:33,560 Speaker 3: to Baker Mayfield making him missing on big play opportunities. 1207 00:54:33,760 --> 00:54:35,799 Speaker 3: He has to make the layup and if he does that, 1208 00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:37,960 Speaker 3: in their score points. If he doesn't, it'd be hard 1209 00:54:37,960 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 3: for him to score points. 1210 00:54:39,360 --> 00:54:41,719 Speaker 2: There we go. He's Bucky Brooks. Get him on Twitter 1211 00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:44,680 Speaker 2: at Bucket Books. I'm Andy Furman at Andy fourman FSR. 1212 00:54:45,080 --> 00:54:47,839 Speaker 2: Swollen Dome. That's Swollen Dome.

He's Bucky Brooks and Andy Furman and he's 1226 00:55:27,080 --> 00:55:29,200 Speaker 2: Stevie Wonder. So turn it up. I want to hear 1227 00:55:29,280 --> 00:55:30,319 Speaker 2: Stevie love him. 1228 00:55:30,480 --> 00:55:31,120 Speaker 5: It's my guy. 1229 00:55:31,680 --> 00:55:33,520 Speaker 2: You know, I'd rather see Stevie one than they're watch 1230 00:55:33,560 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 2: an NFL game if I have my choice. Really, if 1231 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,759 Speaker 2: I have two tickets, one for Stevie Wonder, one for 1232 00:55:38,800 --> 00:55:41,840 Speaker 2: an NFL game, because this, like some of the seventeen games, 1233 00:55:41,840 --> 00:55:43,520 Speaker 2: I can see another one, but I can only see 1234 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,160 Speaker 2: one Stevie Wonder. All right, that's my take on that. 1235 00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:49,320 Speaker 2: All right, thank you. Now I get that you like 1236 00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:50,400 Speaker 2: Stevie one. I know you do. 1237 00:55:51,040 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 4: I do this. 1238 00:55:51,840 --> 00:55:52,920 Speaker 2: How could you not do hockey? 1239 00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:53,160 Speaker 4: Now? 1240 00:55:53,239 --> 00:55:53,439 Speaker 5: Right? 1241 00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:56,960 Speaker 2: Okay, isn't she lovely? Then we move on a couple 1242 00:55:56,960 --> 00:55:59,359 Speaker 2: of questions before we move on to another game. Got 1243 00:55:59,360 --> 00:56:01,680 Speaker 2: to ask you this, What is it like for a 1244 00:56:01,719 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 2: player getting dressed in the locker room opening day with 1245 00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:09,080 Speaker 2: the expectations? I mean, do players actually look at this 1246 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:11,719 Speaker 2: schedule and say, look, it's gonna be a long year, 1247 00:56:11,760 --> 00:56:13,759 Speaker 2: we're not going to make the playoffs? Or is there 1248 00:56:13,800 --> 00:56:18,040 Speaker 2: some hope and anticipation when you're getting dressed kick off 1249 00:56:18,080 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 2: one o'clock Eastern time. You're probably getting dressed by eleven 1250 00:56:21,480 --> 00:56:24,719 Speaker 2: eleven thirty working out on the field. What is it 1251 00:56:24,880 --> 00:56:25,719 Speaker 2: like opening day? 1252 00:56:28,640 --> 00:56:29,560 Speaker 4: It's a lot of excitement. 1253 00:56:29,600 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 3: Man, this is still the game that you dream of 1254 00:56:31,320 --> 00:56:33,759 Speaker 3: participating in and playing in since you were a kid. 1255 00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:36,360 Speaker 3: So you're excited about the opportunity to go and play 1256 00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:38,880 Speaker 3: anytime you get a chance to kind of walk between 1257 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:42,400 Speaker 3: the lines. You love the gladiated feeling that comes along 1258 00:56:42,440 --> 00:56:45,400 Speaker 3: with that. There's nothing like walking out stadium full of 1259 00:56:45,400 --> 00:56:48,360 Speaker 3: people either rocking for you or against you, playing a 1260 00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:50,799 Speaker 3: very physical sport where at the end of the day 1261 00:56:50,800 --> 00:56:53,360 Speaker 3: you're gonna find out if you if your team is 1262 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:56,919 Speaker 3: good enough or not. You miss those things and there's 1263 00:56:56,960 --> 00:57:00,279 Speaker 3: nothing that these players they would tell you, like their 1264 00:57:00,320 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 3: family and dose things, there's nothing better than that. And 1265 00:57:03,120 --> 00:57:05,000 Speaker 3: they's spend the rest of their lives trying to really 1266 00:57:05,360 --> 00:57:09,480 Speaker 3: feel this feeling, this competitive as this what it's like 1267 00:57:09,520 --> 00:57:11,520 Speaker 3: to be a winner and be on the stage. It's 1268 00:57:11,520 --> 00:57:13,760 Speaker 3: nothing like it. There's nothing they can replace that feeling. 1269 00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:16,480 Speaker 2: But you know what, players aren't stupid, they're people. They 1270 00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:18,120 Speaker 2: know if the team is good a bed. For example, 1271 00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:21,680 Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers are playing at Atlanta today against the Falcons. 1272 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:24,520 Speaker 2: The Panthers aren't going to do well this year. They 1273 00:57:24,600 --> 00:57:26,680 Speaker 2: need time to jail. I said that they got that 1274 00:57:26,800 --> 00:57:30,760 Speaker 2: rookie quarterback Bryce Young. They got three new starting wide receivers. 1275 00:57:30,920 --> 00:57:33,200 Speaker 2: This team needs time to gel and they're not going 1276 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:34,880 Speaker 2: to do well. And what they gotta do I would 1277 00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,560 Speaker 2: think is they got to run the football and then 1278 00:57:37,640 --> 00:57:42,240 Speaker 2: hopefully let Bryce Young pass when he can. And Miles 1279 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 2: Sanders is going to be a workhorse for that Panthers team. 1280 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:49,200 Speaker 2: I guess at least today, Yeah. 1281 00:57:50,040 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 4: Moles Sanders would be a work horse. 1282 00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,480 Speaker 3: Bright Young will play as a game manager, a confiderity player. 1283 00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:57,080 Speaker 3: I disagree with what you take in terms of the 1284 00:57:57,080 --> 00:58:00,400 Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers not being good. Potentially they can be a 1285 00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,880 Speaker 3: solid team. That division is wide open. I don't know 1286 00:58:02,920 --> 00:58:05,840 Speaker 3: if any of these teams will run away from the 1287 00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:06,800 Speaker 3: division rivals. 1288 00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:08,920 Speaker 4: The Panthers have a defense that's pretty good. 1289 00:58:08,960 --> 00:58:11,000 Speaker 3: If you look at how this defense performed last year 1290 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000 Speaker 3: at the end under Steve Wolks, this. 1291 00:58:13,080 --> 00:58:14,520 Speaker 4: Defense is ready to rock and roll. 1292 00:58:14,600 --> 00:58:18,800 Speaker 3: It's about Frank Wright getting this offense up to snuff 1293 00:58:19,080 --> 00:58:21,040 Speaker 3: and how does he protect the young quarterback. How does 1294 00:58:21,080 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 3: he put the quarterback in position to make plays that 1295 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,080 Speaker 3: will ultimately determine whether this team is able to score 1296 00:58:26,240 --> 00:58:30,480 Speaker 3: enough points to be in contention and to win enough games. 1297 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 3: It's on frank Wright. It's on the quarterback. How they 1298 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,280 Speaker 3: kind of work that out so he can be productive 1299 00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:38,520 Speaker 3: without being careless or reckless with the football. 1300 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:41,640 Speaker 2: The defense on that Carolina team maybe ahead of the offense. 1301 00:58:41,720 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 2: Right now, there may be a better defensive team than 1302 00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:48,480 Speaker 2: offensive team. Agreed on this, I think, so I think 1303 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,640 Speaker 2: they will be. Yes, Look we got this Falcons team. 1304 00:58:50,640 --> 00:58:52,280 Speaker 2: I mean they got a young quarterback as well, second 1305 00:58:52,360 --> 00:58:55,840 Speaker 2: year quarterback a Desmond Ritter. I think his job is 1306 00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:58,280 Speaker 2: to get the football to Drake London or to tight 1307 00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,360 Speaker 2: end a real good tight ending Kyle Pitch. Can he 1308 00:59:00,440 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 2: do that? And they got Robinson as the rookie running back. 1309 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:06,439 Speaker 2: So I think the Falcons right now are the better team. 1310 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:09,800 Speaker 2: The Falcons win this game. Maybe Carolina is not as 1311 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:11,840 Speaker 2: bad as I think they are, but I do think 1312 00:59:11,880 --> 00:59:13,720 Speaker 2: that the Falcons win this ball game today. 1313 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:20,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, a lot of is on Desmond Ritter. We've kind 1314 00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:20,760 Speaker 4: of given him a pass. 1315 00:59:20,800 --> 00:59:22,840 Speaker 3: He's flown under radar all offseason, but he only has 1316 00:59:22,840 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 3: four games where he's played and started, and the Falcons 1317 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:29,640 Speaker 3: have upgraded the personnel around him. They have a solid 1318 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:32,880 Speaker 3: offensive team that looks like he could be explosive if 1319 00:59:32,920 --> 00:59:34,560 Speaker 3: you have the right trigger man. We just don't know 1320 00:59:34,560 --> 00:59:37,480 Speaker 3: if the trigger man is right. So Desmond Ritter has 1321 00:59:37,520 --> 00:59:39,360 Speaker 3: to hit the ground running. He has to show and 1322 00:59:39,480 --> 00:59:43,120 Speaker 3: prove to not only himself and his coaches, but the 1323 00:59:43,160 --> 00:59:46,360 Speaker 3: fan base that he can be the guy because the Falcons, 1324 00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,200 Speaker 3: to me, they look like they're a quarterback away from 1325 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:52,320 Speaker 3: being a team that can can seriously contend. 1326 00:59:52,640 --> 00:59:55,840 Speaker 2: Okay, I put up the white flag truce. I agree. 1327 00:59:55,840 --> 00:59:58,040 Speaker 2: Maybe Carolina is not going to be as bad as 1328 00:59:58,080 --> 00:59:59,560 Speaker 2: I think they will be. But I got a team 1329 00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:02,520 Speaker 2: that's bad. Are you ready? The Indianapolis Colts. They're going 1330 01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,720 Speaker 2: to be bad. Agreed, they'll be bad. 1331 01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,240 Speaker 4: I agreed. 1332 01:00:06,720 --> 01:00:07,880 Speaker 5: Okay, thank you? Okay. 1333 01:00:08,040 --> 01:00:12,600 Speaker 2: They are hosting the Jacksonville Jaguars today. The Colts defense, 1334 01:00:12,640 --> 01:00:16,840 Speaker 2: they're in trouble. The Colts have no run game. And honestly, 1335 01:00:16,880 --> 01:00:20,680 Speaker 2: the Jaguars, they were perfect in the preseason three And no, 1336 01:00:20,840 --> 01:00:22,800 Speaker 2: I don't know what that means, but I think that 1337 01:00:23,280 --> 01:00:25,520 Speaker 2: mentally it's a good thing because I think you got 1338 01:00:25,560 --> 01:00:27,520 Speaker 2: to learn how to win. You learn how to win, 1339 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 2: you learn how to lose. And I think that coaches, 1340 01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,800 Speaker 2: they could say what they want to say that it's preseason. 1341 01:00:33,080 --> 01:00:35,280 Speaker 2: I think it's great to get into the habit of winning, 1342 01:00:35,440 --> 01:00:37,360 Speaker 2: to know what it's like to win, and the fact 1343 01:00:37,360 --> 01:00:39,640 Speaker 2: that they were undefeated in the preseason. I think that 1344 01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:40,960 Speaker 2: goes a long way. I really do. 1345 01:00:43,040 --> 01:00:46,280 Speaker 4: It does go a long way. But here's the trick. 1346 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:49,680 Speaker 3: Stylistically, this game could be difficult for any for the 1347 01:00:49,800 --> 01:00:53,200 Speaker 3: Jacksonville Jaguars because of the way that the Colts play defensively. 1348 01:00:53,240 --> 01:00:55,600 Speaker 3: Gus Bradley's going to take away the deep ball. He's 1349 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:58,680 Speaker 3: going to put an umbrella around the offense and make 1350 01:00:58,720 --> 01:01:01,360 Speaker 3: you dink it and dunk it down the field. The 1351 01:01:02,040 --> 01:01:06,120 Speaker 3: game will be decided on Trevor Lawrence's efficiency in the 1352 01:01:06,160 --> 01:01:09,480 Speaker 3: red area. Is he able to make pinpoint throws in 1353 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,120 Speaker 3: the red area? Is he able to score touchdowns as 1354 01:01:12,120 --> 01:01:14,800 Speaker 3: opposed to the Jaguars and then field goals. It has 1355 01:01:14,880 --> 01:01:18,080 Speaker 3: little to do with the Coats offense. Anthony Richardon, He'll 1356 01:01:18,120 --> 01:01:20,000 Speaker 3: make some plays, but he'll give up some plays. It 1357 01:01:20,040 --> 01:01:23,080 Speaker 3: has more to do to the style and what Gus 1358 01:01:23,120 --> 01:01:25,080 Speaker 3: Bradley wants to do to the offense that can make 1359 01:01:25,120 --> 01:01:28,160 Speaker 3: this game kind of a grind through the mud for 1360 01:01:28,200 --> 01:01:29,360 Speaker 3: the Jacksonville Jaguars. 1361 01:01:29,440 --> 01:01:31,640 Speaker 2: Okay, a couple of things over here today. Number one. 1362 01:01:31,920 --> 01:01:33,880 Speaker 2: I think that Trevor Lawrence right now is going to 1363 01:01:33,880 --> 01:01:36,440 Speaker 2: have his leading receiver, Calvin Ridley, he's the guy. He's 1364 01:01:36,480 --> 01:01:38,760 Speaker 2: going to be the guy this year catching the footballs 1365 01:01:38,760 --> 01:01:40,920 Speaker 2: for them. And I think as far as the culture concern, 1366 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,640 Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson didn't see much action the preseason. Jonathan Taylor, 1367 01:01:45,040 --> 01:01:46,800 Speaker 2: he's going to be gone for four games at least. 1368 01:01:46,840 --> 01:01:49,000 Speaker 2: He's on the pub perform list, So that's going to 1369 01:01:49,040 --> 01:01:50,520 Speaker 2: be bad. Their running game is going to be hurting, 1370 01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:55,439 Speaker 2: Zach Moss recovering from a broken arm. It's just it's 1371 01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,040 Speaker 2: just not healthy. It's just not looking at Dionne Jackson 1372 01:01:58,360 --> 01:02:01,760 Speaker 2: and Evan Hull, they're gonna carry the football. I don't 1373 01:02:01,760 --> 01:02:03,760 Speaker 2: see them having a great running game with those guys. 1374 01:02:05,440 --> 01:02:10,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's that ideal. It's definitely not ideal, and so 1375 01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:12,720 Speaker 4: you wonder what it looks like. 1376 01:02:12,760 --> 01:02:15,880 Speaker 3: But it's an opening game, and opening games can be 1377 01:02:15,960 --> 01:02:18,440 Speaker 3: weird because you don't have film on the opponent in 1378 01:02:18,520 --> 01:02:20,880 Speaker 3: terms of what they're really doing with a new coach 1379 01:02:20,920 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 3: in those things, it could be a weird game for. 1380 01:02:25,320 --> 01:02:26,000 Speaker 4: The Jaguars. 1381 01:02:26,120 --> 01:02:28,960 Speaker 3: Got to figure out what it is that the Coast 1382 01:02:28,960 --> 01:02:30,480 Speaker 3: are doing before they can kind of settle in and 1383 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:31,240 Speaker 3: start playing ball. 1384 01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,240 Speaker 2: The big question today is going to be will Calvin 1385 01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:36,800 Speaker 2: Ridley be betting on this game? That's the question. Was 1386 01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:39,959 Speaker 2: he's back? You know, I'm happy he's got another chance. 1387 01:02:40,160 --> 01:02:40,480 Speaker 4: He's done. 1388 01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:43,080 Speaker 2: I shouldn't make fun, right, It's not right. I shouldn't 1389 01:02:43,080 --> 01:02:47,560 Speaker 2: make fun. No. I just you know, there's another situation 1390 01:02:47,600 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 2: I'm seeing it now in Iowa and college and Iowa football. 1391 01:02:51,600 --> 01:02:54,520 Speaker 2: I just you know, if you watch these games on TV, 1392 01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:57,520 Speaker 2: I mean, it's one betting commercial after or another. I 1393 01:02:57,560 --> 01:02:59,520 Speaker 2: get it. You know, it's all about money and this 1394 01:02:59,720 --> 01:03:01,840 Speaker 2: reverend you involved in that. That's what it's all about. 1395 01:03:02,080 --> 01:03:03,800 Speaker 2: And it's business. You know, at the end of the day, 1396 01:03:03,840 --> 01:03:06,960 Speaker 2: it's business. But I just don't understand how a professional 1397 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,400 Speaker 2: athlete will not have the smarts to stay away. I 1398 01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:12,720 Speaker 2: don't get it. I really don't. 1399 01:03:13,200 --> 01:03:16,200 Speaker 3: You know, well, I think, well, I think it's different 1400 01:03:16,200 --> 01:03:17,840 Speaker 3: because I think it can be clouded in so many 1401 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:20,560 Speaker 3: different things. And when we think about betting, we're thinking 1402 01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:22,880 Speaker 3: about old school betting, the bookie, you go to the 1403 01:03:22,880 --> 01:03:26,000 Speaker 3: sportsbook and do those things. Remember how clouded it is 1404 01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:28,240 Speaker 3: for this generation of players because they grew up in 1405 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,960 Speaker 3: an area of fantasy football, fantasy football being accessible on 1406 01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:36,280 Speaker 3: your phone in an app, well, you know what daily 1407 01:03:36,280 --> 01:03:40,280 Speaker 3: betting is, daily betting like some of the appster they have. 1408 01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,160 Speaker 4: It's just like fantasy football. 1409 01:03:43,400 --> 01:03:46,160 Speaker 3: And so these dudes, because remember they play for money 1410 01:03:46,240 --> 01:03:48,280 Speaker 3: in their fantasy leagues when they're playing in high school 1411 01:03:48,360 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 3: and college and those things, maybe the lines are great 1412 01:03:51,760 --> 01:03:54,640 Speaker 3: and blurry for them when it comes to doing that, 1413 01:03:54,880 --> 01:03:58,880 Speaker 3: even though they should do it. I think it's so 1414 01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:03,200 Speaker 3: so blurry when they think about fantasy football versus betting, 1415 01:04:03,400 --> 01:04:07,360 Speaker 3: versus also seeing the league sponsored betting partners and all 1416 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,600 Speaker 3: those other things that they just don't have the ability 1417 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:12,000 Speaker 3: to separate them all. And so when the league made 1418 01:04:12,040 --> 01:04:16,960 Speaker 3: a decision to jump in bed with the casinos and 1419 01:04:17,000 --> 01:04:20,000 Speaker 3: gambling and those things, some of this is the natural 1420 01:04:20,080 --> 01:04:23,800 Speaker 3: fallout that comes from that. You have guys that love 1421 01:04:24,200 --> 01:04:26,520 Speaker 3: to go to Vegas and do those things and deal with. 1422 01:04:27,120 --> 01:04:28,320 Speaker 4: That competitive element. 1423 01:04:28,680 --> 01:04:31,640 Speaker 3: And so even though betting on your phone isn't Vegas, 1424 01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:34,200 Speaker 3: it's still that competitive element where there's a winner and 1425 01:04:34,320 --> 01:04:35,600 Speaker 3: loser at the end of the day. 1426 01:04:35,880 --> 01:04:38,200 Speaker 2: There's no doubt that when you wager and when you bet, 1427 01:04:38,520 --> 01:04:40,560 Speaker 2: football is the best game to bet on it. It's 1428 01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:42,520 Speaker 2: just perfect it's very hard to bet to me, at 1429 01:04:42,600 --> 01:04:46,520 Speaker 2: least a hockey and baseball, basketball perhaps maybe with the points. 1430 01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:48,880 Speaker 2: But football is the game, is the game to bet 1431 01:04:48,920 --> 01:04:51,200 Speaker 2: on it, and people do and that's what they do. 1432 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,560 Speaker 2: But I just don't understand how a professional football player 1433 01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:58,120 Speaker 2: would want to even get involved with fantasy football. That 1434 01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:00,800 Speaker 2: to me blows me away. First of all, how would 1435 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 2: you have the time? Why would you even have the 1436 01:05:02,600 --> 01:05:03,320 Speaker 2: time to do it? 1437 01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,120 Speaker 3: There, look, I can betch you in most locker rooms 1438 01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,080 Speaker 3: there are fantasy football leagues and teams and those things. 1439 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:14,080 Speaker 3: Because one thing about athletes, and particularly athletes at the 1440 01:05:14,080 --> 01:05:16,240 Speaker 3: pro level insanely competitive. 1441 01:05:16,400 --> 01:05:18,840 Speaker 4: You're competing everything. That's why. 1442 01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:22,160 Speaker 3: And I'll say this, you always like Bucky stories or whatever, 1443 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,160 Speaker 3: like when teams get on the plane and they go 1444 01:05:25,200 --> 01:05:27,800 Speaker 3: to the city coming back from the game, guys are 1445 01:05:27,800 --> 01:05:30,240 Speaker 3: in the back of the plane playing cards and betting 1446 01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:33,000 Speaker 3: big money on games where whatever the game may be, 1447 01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:34,520 Speaker 3: like in my day, used to be a game called 1448 01:05:34,520 --> 01:05:36,560 Speaker 3: bou ra, so they would pay it and then there's 1449 01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:38,400 Speaker 3: a big pot at the end and they pay the money. 1450 01:05:38,680 --> 01:05:41,640 Speaker 4: Because you have a team full of competitors. 1451 01:05:42,080 --> 01:05:45,479 Speaker 3: Everything is a competition, So whether it's fantasy football, whether 1452 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 3: it's playing dominoes in the locker room, video game. 1453 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 4: Shooting pool. 1454 01:05:50,640 --> 01:05:53,880 Speaker 3: Everybody loves the feeling of winning, and so it spills 1455 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,240 Speaker 3: over into gambling. It spells over into some of the 1456 01:05:56,240 --> 01:05:57,040 Speaker 3: things that we see. 1457 01:05:57,720 --> 01:06:00,280 Speaker 2: Interesting. I know there was a time us Go I 1458 01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:02,960 Speaker 2: would travel with the Bengals. I didn't see much gambling, 1459 01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,560 Speaker 2: but saw a lot of drinking a lot of cold 1460 01:06:04,600 --> 01:06:07,080 Speaker 2: beer on the plane after the trips on their way home. 1461 01:06:07,240 --> 01:06:08,040 Speaker 2: That's what I saw. 1462 01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:11,040 Speaker 4: But you know, yeah, I mean that that used to 1463 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:12,600 Speaker 4: be the culture back in the day. Back in the day, 1464 01:06:12,680 --> 01:06:14,360 Speaker 4: they used to provide them. 1465 01:06:14,400 --> 01:06:15,920 Speaker 3: But now, when you think about it, probably not the 1466 01:06:15,960 --> 01:06:18,920 Speaker 3: smartest thing to have your guys drink a bunch of 1467 01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:21,760 Speaker 3: beers and then leave from the airport to go. 1468 01:06:21,600 --> 01:06:22,320 Speaker 4: To their homes. 1469 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:26,560 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, Like you just talked about liability situations, DUIs. 1470 01:06:26,440 --> 01:06:27,280 Speaker 4: And those things. 1471 01:06:27,480 --> 01:06:30,800 Speaker 3: The gambling thing can pose problems though, because the money 1472 01:06:30,800 --> 01:06:34,120 Speaker 3: gets out of hand and guys decide they don't want 1473 01:06:34,120 --> 01:06:36,000 Speaker 3: to pay it. Well, then you have issues with teammates, 1474 01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:39,280 Speaker 3: and so some guys would kind of banned those card 1475 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:41,200 Speaker 3: games and those things on the plane to prevent those 1476 01:06:41,240 --> 01:06:42,320 Speaker 3: situations from happening. 1477 01:06:42,760 --> 01:06:44,880 Speaker 2: Interesting, all right, I always appreciate your stories, Buck, I 1478 01:06:44,960 --> 01:06:46,960 Speaker 2: really do.

The forty nine Ers at 1535 01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:47,439 Speaker 2: the Steelers, and I'll tell you what this Steelers team 1536 01:09:47,520 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 2: is going to sneak up on a lot of people. 1537 01:09:49,439 --> 01:09:51,599 Speaker 2: I love Mike Tomlin. He's a Hall of Fame coach. 1538 01:09:52,080 --> 01:09:54,439 Speaker 2: Last year they said he was going to be finished. 1539 01:09:54,479 --> 01:09:57,000 Speaker 2: He still did not have a losing season last year. 1540 01:09:57,320 --> 01:09:59,920 Speaker 2: They rely on the pass rush. Forty nine is need 1541 01:10:00,080 --> 01:10:04,160 Speaker 2: to protect quarterback Brock Party. We'll see what happens. And really, 1542 01:10:04,400 --> 01:10:08,200 Speaker 2: I think this game is more about play calling and 1543 01:10:08,240 --> 01:10:12,400 Speaker 2: the coaching of both sides. Shanahan against Tomlin. We'll see 1544 01:10:12,400 --> 01:10:13,400 Speaker 2: what happens in this game. 1545 01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:14,880 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is a. 1546 01:10:14,880 --> 01:10:17,759 Speaker 3: Game that's gonna be a real physical affair. And everyone 1547 01:10:17,880 --> 01:10:20,840 Speaker 3: loved the quotes that Mike Tomlin had about playing these 1548 01:10:20,840 --> 01:10:23,679 Speaker 3: guys in the preseason, saying, preparing for a Boxkon match, 1549 01:10:23,680 --> 01:10:25,680 Speaker 3: you got to do some sporing. And part of the 1550 01:10:25,720 --> 01:10:27,799 Speaker 3: reason why the Steelers wanted to get after in preseason 1551 01:10:27,800 --> 01:10:28,360 Speaker 3: they knew. 1552 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:30,200 Speaker 4: Who was on the schedule week one. 1553 01:10:30,360 --> 01:10:32,519 Speaker 3: When you talk to teams about dealing with the forty 1554 01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:35,440 Speaker 3: nine Ers, it's not only dealing with their physicality and toughness, 1555 01:10:35,680 --> 01:10:37,479 Speaker 3: is being able to kind of recover from that the 1556 01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:40,280 Speaker 3: following week. This is a team that prides itself in 1557 01:10:40,360 --> 01:10:41,920 Speaker 3: beating their opponent up. 1558 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:42,960 Speaker 4: Well, what we know. 1559 01:10:42,920 --> 01:10:45,719 Speaker 3: About the Steelers. They're not going for that. This should 1560 01:10:45,720 --> 01:10:47,920 Speaker 3: be a bully ball affair. This should be a very 1561 01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:51,080 Speaker 3: physical game. And this is a physical game in which 1562 01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,519 Speaker 3: they be able to get on the quarterback and quarterback 1563 01:10:53,560 --> 01:10:56,200 Speaker 3: play will ultimately decide it. So who do you have 1564 01:10:56,720 --> 01:10:59,639 Speaker 3: Rock Party or Kenny Pickett? That'll be the deciding fact 1565 01:10:59,680 --> 01:11:00,000 Speaker 3: in the game. 1566 01:11:00,600 --> 01:11:03,120 Speaker 2: Well, you know what, if I'm a betting man, I'd 1567 01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:05,479 Speaker 2: probably go with Kenny Pikett. He's made some strides in 1568 01:11:05,520 --> 01:11:08,000 Speaker 2: the offseason. Is sickond year right now? Brock Party has 1569 01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,280 Speaker 2: still got some question But the problem well right now 1570 01:11:10,280 --> 01:11:14,759 Speaker 2: that Pittsburgh's going to face is the people around Brock Party. 1571 01:11:15,040 --> 01:11:17,360 Speaker 2: That's the key. They got Deebo, Samuel, they could bring 1572 01:11:17,400 --> 01:11:20,040 Speaker 2: the auk, they got McCaffrey, they got all these guys, 1573 01:11:20,080 --> 01:11:23,760 Speaker 2: George Kittle, and that's a lot better offensive strength than 1574 01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:24,920 Speaker 2: the Pittsburgh Steelers have. 1575 01:11:26,400 --> 01:11:29,519 Speaker 3: I mean, there's no doubt Deniners have an also team 1576 01:11:29,840 --> 01:11:34,000 Speaker 3: on the perimeter. McCaffrey, I Yuk, Deebo, Samuel, George Kittle 1577 01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,599 Speaker 3: all can play multiple roles within that offense. But here's 1578 01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:38,920 Speaker 3: what I would tell you about the Pittsburgh Steelers. George 1579 01:11:38,920 --> 01:11:41,600 Speaker 3: Pickens is the next great Steelers wide receiver that we 1580 01:11:41,600 --> 01:11:44,479 Speaker 3: will talk about. So you have Pickens, you have Deontay Johnson, 1581 01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:47,200 Speaker 3: you have naj Harris where they can run the ball. 1582 01:11:47,439 --> 01:11:50,360 Speaker 3: It's more so about Pittsburgh being able to control the 1583 01:11:50,400 --> 01:11:53,360 Speaker 3: tempo of the game with their offense, meaning can they 1584 01:11:53,400 --> 01:11:56,000 Speaker 3: slow down the game, can they dictate the terms? Can 1585 01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:58,000 Speaker 3: they throw it around enough to get first downs but 1586 01:11:58,120 --> 01:12:01,400 Speaker 3: retain possession because in the end, their defense is going 1587 01:12:01,439 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 3: to be the ones that set them up for success, 1588 01:12:03,920 --> 01:12:06,000 Speaker 3: and that defense is ready to get back to those 1589 01:12:06,400 --> 01:12:09,280 Speaker 3: high level, top five defenses of the past. I'm really 1590 01:12:09,280 --> 01:12:10,880 Speaker 3: bullished on the Pittsburgh Steelers this year. 1591 01:12:11,160 --> 01:12:13,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I am too. But here's a big question and 1592 01:12:13,439 --> 01:12:15,000 Speaker 2: you would have the answer to me on I know, 1593 01:12:15,400 --> 01:12:19,000 Speaker 2: can the Steelers offensive line can can they handle the 1594 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:20,800 Speaker 2: pass rush of the forty nine ers? 1595 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:25,920 Speaker 3: We'll see that and what happens with Bosa? Does Bosa 1596 01:12:25,920 --> 01:12:28,479 Speaker 3: play today? How do they deal with that? Is he 1597 01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:30,120 Speaker 3: in shape? What kind of shape is he in? How 1598 01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,280 Speaker 3: many players can he give them? When you look at 1599 01:12:32,280 --> 01:12:34,559 Speaker 3: the Niners offense line, Javon Hargrave was a big sign. 1600 01:12:34,600 --> 01:12:36,920 Speaker 3: That's a huge addition. Bosa gives them that. But we 1601 01:12:36,920 --> 01:12:38,800 Speaker 3: don't know where he's at. So this comes down to 1602 01:12:38,960 --> 01:12:44,240 Speaker 3: Eric Armstead and Javon Hargrave being able to get this done. 1603 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:47,280 Speaker 2: Interesting, and you like to steal us to win this game. 1604 01:12:47,960 --> 01:12:50,799 Speaker 4: I do like to stealers to win this I think. 1605 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,759 Speaker 2: This game would be decided by less than a touchdown. 1606 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:56,720 Speaker 2: And I'm I just I think the play calling is 1607 01:12:56,760 --> 01:12:58,400 Speaker 2: the key, and I think the forty nine is winning 1608 01:12:58,400 --> 01:13:01,040 Speaker 2: on play calling. That's the key right there. I love 1609 01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:03,160 Speaker 2: the Steelers, I love Mike Tomlin. I just don't think 1610 01:13:03,160 --> 01:13:07,960 Speaker 2: they're gonna have enough guess to win this game. We'll see. 1611 01:13:08,240 --> 01:13:08,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. 1612 01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:10,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I think they I think they can get it down. 1613 01:13:11,200 --> 01:13:13,439 Speaker 2: I'll see what I mean. And they could be a sleeper. 1614 01:13:13,439 --> 01:13:15,400 Speaker 2: I mean, there are some people picking Pittsburgh to win 1615 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,840 Speaker 2: that division, you know, and that's that's that division and 1616 01:13:17,920 --> 01:13:19,799 Speaker 2: you say, you say the Browns are gonna win that division. 1617 01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:22,640 Speaker 2: So and a lot of people think the Bengals are 1618 01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:24,080 Speaker 2: going to be in the super Bowl, So who knows. 1619 01:13:24,320 --> 01:13:26,120 Speaker 2: It's gonna be tough, and it is the toughest division 1620 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 2: in football. We move on to the Arizona Cardinals, not 1621 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,559 Speaker 2: a good team at the Commanders, and we say one coach. 1622 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,559 Speaker 2: Right now, it's a new day for him. We'll talk 1623 01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:36,880 Speaker 2: about Eb Eric the enemy. We'll see what he could 1624 01:13:36,920 --> 01:13:41,120 Speaker 2: do today with his quarterback. It's Joshua Dobbs against Sam Howell. 1625 01:13:41,520 --> 01:13:44,120 Speaker 2: I mean, and I think that maybe Eb's got a 1626 01:13:44,160 --> 01:13:46,760 Speaker 2: little more to work with than the Cardinals have. The 1627 01:13:46,760 --> 01:13:49,400 Speaker 2: Cardinals right now, I guess they're playing for the draft. 1628 01:13:49,760 --> 01:13:52,760 Speaker 2: That that's what they're basically doing. Kyler Murray's gone, he's 1629 01:13:52,760 --> 01:13:54,280 Speaker 2: on the pup list. They'll be gone for at least 1630 01:13:54,280 --> 01:13:56,880 Speaker 2: four or five weeks, so we'll see what happens there. 1631 01:13:57,080 --> 01:13:59,400 Speaker 2: I don't think the Cardinals have a chance. I'd be 1632 01:13:59,439 --> 01:14:01,120 Speaker 2: surprised that even score a touchdown. 1633 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:05,320 Speaker 4: Wow, I mean, it's the NFL team. You have NFL 1634 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:06,280 Speaker 4: guys on the jersey. 1635 01:14:07,160 --> 01:14:10,040 Speaker 3: Josh Dobbs has played in the NFL games before. 1636 01:14:12,000 --> 01:14:14,320 Speaker 4: This is the weird thing about the National Football League. 1637 01:14:14,400 --> 01:14:17,640 Speaker 4: You just never know until you get to Sunday. And 1638 01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:18,679 Speaker 4: so I'm sitting here. 1639 01:14:18,600 --> 01:14:22,840 Speaker 3: Looking at this commander's team, which should have a superior 1640 01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:25,439 Speaker 3: roster based on the talent that they have on offense 1641 01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:26,160 Speaker 3: and defense. 1642 01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:27,639 Speaker 4: But it's the unknown. 1643 01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:31,120 Speaker 3: It's Eric b enemy, I guess, technically calling his first 1644 01:14:31,280 --> 01:14:34,200 Speaker 3: NFL game, how does he handle the ebbs and flows 1645 01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:37,439 Speaker 3: of the game. How to Sam Howell respond in this 1646 01:14:38,080 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 3: I mean it's his second official start International Football League. 1647 01:14:41,640 --> 01:14:43,320 Speaker 4: And even though. 1648 01:14:43,120 --> 01:14:45,880 Speaker 3: We'll talk about, well, this should be I mean a 1649 01:14:45,920 --> 01:14:49,280 Speaker 3: walk over. The Cardinals don't have any talent any given Sunday, 1650 01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:50,320 Speaker 3: We've seen weirder things. 1651 01:14:50,479 --> 01:14:52,480 Speaker 4: This would be a tighter game than we imagine. 1652 01:14:52,600 --> 01:14:55,400 Speaker 3: The Commanders should win it, Jack Dellie and this defense 1653 01:14:55,400 --> 01:14:56,840 Speaker 3: should get it done. She'd be able to kind of 1654 01:14:56,840 --> 01:15:00,280 Speaker 3: walk through the Cardinals offense and the offensive line. And 1655 01:15:00,600 --> 01:15:04,000 Speaker 3: without an established quarterback and I we'll say Josh dobbson 1656 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:07,000 Speaker 3: without an established quarterback, Yeah, it should be in their favor. 1657 01:15:07,800 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 3: You just don't know. This would be tighter than we'd imagine. 1658 01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:11,680 Speaker 3: But I would go with the Commanders in. 1659 01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:14,960 Speaker 2: This one, Okay, if anybody's interested. Josh Dobbs has been 1660 01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:18,599 Speaker 2: in the National Football League since twenty seventeen. He had 1661 01:15:18,680 --> 01:15:21,360 Speaker 2: only two starts since then. I believe it was in 1662 01:15:21,400 --> 01:15:24,080 Speaker 2: twenty twenty two with the Titans. So and there's only 1663 01:15:24,080 --> 01:15:26,960 Speaker 2: two stars and he's going too. I don't see Josh 1664 01:15:27,080 --> 01:15:29,800 Speaker 2: Dobbs getting the job done, all right, the just the 1665 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,120 Speaker 2: way it is, you know, and zach Ertz may not 1666 01:15:32,160 --> 01:15:34,559 Speaker 2: be playing either the tight end for Arizona. So it's 1667 01:15:34,760 --> 01:15:36,879 Speaker 2: it's gonna be a tough be a long haul of Arizona. 1668 01:15:37,080 --> 01:15:38,920 Speaker 2: And I feel bad for them because they gotta travel 1669 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:42,679 Speaker 2: cross country after the loss back to Arizona. That's gonna 1670 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:45,439 Speaker 2: be a long plane ride. Really a lot of card games, 1671 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:47,880 Speaker 2: A lot of card games going back, Really. 1672 01:15:48,680 --> 01:15:49,880 Speaker 4: A lot of card games. You're funny. 1673 01:15:49,880 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 14: You feel bad for them, You feel bad for them. 1674 01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:53,960 Speaker 14: You feel bad for them because they have to travel 1675 01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:57,679 Speaker 14: for work. What are we talking about? The plane flight 1676 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,479 Speaker 14: of the way back. I mean, that's gonna be the worst. Really, 1677 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:03,560 Speaker 14: those cross country flights bad. I don't want to be 1678 01:16:03,640 --> 01:16:04,320 Speaker 14: on those flights. 1679 01:16:04,800 --> 01:16:06,640 Speaker 2: I don't know.

When you woke up? Was it a 1808 01:21:57,040 --> 01:21:58,719 Speaker 5: different spring in your step? 1809 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:00,960 Speaker 2: I didn't wake up up, I step up all nine. 1810 01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:04,559 Speaker 2: I couldn't wait. Really, it was unbelievable. Mean, it's like 1811 01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:07,679 Speaker 2: Christmas Day. And I don't celebrate Christmas that much really, 1812 01:22:08,080 --> 01:22:10,799 Speaker 2: but it was like Christmas Day, Blackie. 1813 01:22:12,080 --> 01:22:14,479 Speaker 3: Look, it's always exciting when you kick off the season, 1814 01:22:14,479 --> 01:22:17,439 Speaker 3: and the reason it's exciting is because, look, the NFL 1815 01:22:17,439 --> 01:22:20,400 Speaker 3: has done a really good job of making sure that everybody, every. 1816 01:22:20,240 --> 01:22:21,719 Speaker 4: Team believes that they have a chance. 1817 01:22:22,040 --> 01:22:23,920 Speaker 3: And so here we are, you sitting here about talking 1818 01:22:23,920 --> 01:22:26,880 Speaker 3: about the Jaguars potentially being a super Bowl team. They're 1819 01:22:27,320 --> 01:22:29,880 Speaker 3: thirty one other fan bases that feel like their team 1820 01:22:30,000 --> 01:22:32,040 Speaker 3: may be able to go from worse to first to 1821 01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:35,120 Speaker 3: find a way to sneak into that title game. And 1822 01:22:35,200 --> 01:22:37,680 Speaker 3: that brings about optimism. So that optimism is gonna be 1823 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:39,240 Speaker 3: fielt in stadiums I'm excited to see. 1824 01:22:39,080 --> 01:22:43,080 Speaker 5: It now some random stats. As talking to Shade before, 1825 01:22:43,080 --> 01:22:47,000 Speaker 5: we got things going, random factoids that run across the 1826 01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:51,040 Speaker 5: bottom scrolls. You guys talked about the Commanders a little 1827 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:54,600 Speaker 5: bit in near your first two hours together. You know, 1828 01:22:54,720 --> 01:22:57,720 Speaker 5: Sam Howell has something on the books that can be 1829 01:22:57,840 --> 01:23:01,519 Speaker 5: done for the Washington football franchise that hasn't been done 1830 01:23:01,560 --> 01:23:05,439 Speaker 5: since nineteen eighty seven, and that's when his first two starts. 1831 01:23:05,800 --> 01:23:08,160 Speaker 5: You want to guess who that quarterback was that did that. 1832 01:23:09,640 --> 01:23:10,080 Speaker 2: Washington? 1833 01:23:10,200 --> 01:23:11,000 Speaker 4: Who was that? 1834 01:23:11,640 --> 01:23:15,440 Speaker 5: A man by the name of ed Rubert or Robert. 1835 01:23:16,200 --> 01:23:18,800 Speaker 5: I couldn't find video of him to prove how to 1836 01:23:18,800 --> 01:23:21,160 Speaker 5: pronounce his name. But that was during the strike season 1837 01:23:21,160 --> 01:23:24,880 Speaker 5: of nineteen eighty seven. So we are going in the 1838 01:23:24,920 --> 01:23:28,680 Speaker 5: wayback machine. How about this other randomness for you all right? 1839 01:23:28,840 --> 01:23:33,879 Speaker 5: Quarterback stat Part two? When CJ. Stroud gets ready to roll. 1840 01:23:33,960 --> 01:23:36,880 Speaker 5: A little bit later we got Bryce Young all of 1841 01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:41,519 Speaker 5: these young quarterbacks getting ready to get after it. Did 1842 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:47,960 Speaker 5: you know that the first overall pick, the last one 1843 01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:50,320 Speaker 5: to win, goes all the way back to two thousand 1844 01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:56,080 Speaker 5: and two. Anybody want to go back on the way 1845 01:23:56,160 --> 01:23:59,639 Speaker 5: back machine and remember who that is? Thirteen and one? 1846 01:24:00,280 --> 01:24:07,400 Speaker 4: Then two thousand and two. Geez, I don't kick out. 1847 01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,799 Speaker 2: And he won his first game of two thousand and two. 1848 01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:12,000 Speaker 5: Two thousand and two, and then he spent the rest 1849 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 5: of his time with that team pretty much laying on 1850 01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:17,080 Speaker 5: his back because his offensive line was terrible. 1851 01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:18,400 Speaker 2: Was that the Detroit Lions? 1852 01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:21,760 Speaker 5: No, I mean you could have picked Eddy Lyons guy there, 1853 01:24:21,840 --> 01:24:27,400 Speaker 5: there's no question about it. But yeah, for Bryce Young, 1854 01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,639 Speaker 5: he's trying to do something that hasn't been done since 1855 01:24:29,720 --> 01:24:34,240 Speaker 5: David Carr wow in two thousand and two. So some 1856 01:24:34,400 --> 01:24:37,640 Speaker 5: history making moments ready for us today. We're gonna go 1857 01:24:37,640 --> 01:24:39,720 Speaker 5: through some of the games. You guys haven't had a 1858 01:24:39,800 --> 01:24:42,280 Speaker 5: chance to break down. A couple of great ones on 1859 01:24:42,360 --> 01:24:44,519 Speaker 5: the slate. I was listening on the way in. I 1860 01:24:44,600 --> 01:24:49,240 Speaker 5: gotta say, my blood is percolating. I've only gotten three 1861 01:24:49,240 --> 01:24:51,160 Speaker 5: SIPs into my first cup of coffee, but I could 1862 01:24:51,200 --> 01:24:53,880 Speaker 5: run through a wall right now. Guys, That's where I'm at. 1863 01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:58,760 Speaker 5: Whole day of college football. All the heavyweights that are struggling. Yeah, 1864 01:24:58,880 --> 01:25:01,960 Speaker 5: we like we got it winning teams and Colorado's fun, 1865 01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:03,680 Speaker 5: but Alabama losing well. 1866 01:25:03,920 --> 01:25:06,640 Speaker 2: Bucket's tar heels well. 1867 01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:10,960 Speaker 3: Double the as you can, right, Yeah, no one a 1868 01:25:11,040 --> 01:25:15,280 Speaker 3: care in two weeks. 1869 01:25:13,479 --> 01:25:17,080 Speaker 5: Western over UTEP they were a one point favorite. Fellas, 1870 01:25:17,360 --> 01:25:19,960 Speaker 5: that's how much everybody had just kind of looked at 1871 01:25:19,960 --> 01:25:22,400 Speaker 5: it and said, yeah, this is done. Now they dominated 1872 01:25:22,400 --> 01:25:24,719 Speaker 5: the game. What does it mean on the grand scale? Nothing, 1873 01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:27,840 Speaker 5: but it's a w succeed in proceed. That's what we 1874 01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:30,559 Speaker 5: try to do. I take the mantra uh in my household, 1875 01:25:30,600 --> 01:25:32,680 Speaker 5: no matter how bad the day is, if I make 1876 01:25:32,760 --> 01:25:36,960 Speaker 5: it to my bed, I went one and oh today, Yeah, 1877 01:25:37,040 --> 01:25:40,639 Speaker 5: I mean, okay, take brass tax. It's positivity. And when 1878 01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:43,400 Speaker 5: I wake up the next day, sure, everything could go wrong, 1879 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:45,760 Speaker 5: but you know what, I've got a chance. Just like 1880 01:25:45,800 --> 01:25:50,120 Speaker 5: all these teams today, even the Arizona Cardinals, in some 1881 01:25:50,320 --> 01:25:54,120 Speaker 5: part of the multiverse somewhere, they may have a win 1882 01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:58,160 Speaker 5: under Josh Dobbs and Clayton Tune. I'm not banking on it. 1883 01:25:58,320 --> 01:26:00,840 Speaker 5: I'm not betting on it, but you know what, let's 1884 01:26:00,880 --> 01:26:03,280 Speaker 5: break down some games. Let's get things started with a 1885 01:26:03,280 --> 01:26:07,719 Speaker 5: big one. Yeah, Cowboys and Giants, how about that? Right 1886 01:26:07,880 --> 01:26:10,560 Speaker 5: off the jump, we go to one of these heavyweight matchups. 1887 01:26:10,640 --> 01:26:12,840 Speaker 5: We look at the spread. The Cowboys three or three 1888 01:26:12,880 --> 01:26:16,960 Speaker 5: and a half point road favorites forty five and a 1889 01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:20,840 Speaker 5: half the total. The big story here, Darren Waller, it 1890 01:26:20,880 --> 01:26:22,840 Speaker 5: all begins and ends as soon as he showed up 1891 01:26:22,880 --> 01:26:25,360 Speaker 5: on the injury report. You know, I threw my pen 1892 01:26:25,439 --> 01:26:27,080 Speaker 5: in the air going. I couldn't get to week two. 1893 01:26:27,560 --> 01:26:31,439 Speaker 5: I couldn't get to week three. Historically, Dallas has shut 1894 01:26:31,479 --> 01:26:35,000 Speaker 5: down Saquon Barkley five times in his career. He's rushed 1895 01:26:35,040 --> 01:26:39,040 Speaker 5: for fewer than fifty one yards against this unit. But 1896 01:26:39,560 --> 01:26:43,160 Speaker 5: with balance and definition, like Schwarzenegger told me and proclaimed 1897 01:26:43,160 --> 01:26:45,280 Speaker 5: back in pumping iron because you all know me, I'm 1898 01:26:45,320 --> 01:26:49,639 Speaker 5: a physical specimen unlike any other that you gotta have balance. 1899 01:26:49,680 --> 01:26:51,759 Speaker 5: And for Daniel Jones in the passing game, a lot 1900 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,639 Speaker 5: of guys come in to play. What are we thinking? 1901 01:26:54,800 --> 01:26:58,200 Speaker 5: Cowboys are everybody's trendy pick I go the other way, Andy, 1902 01:26:58,200 --> 01:26:59,880 Speaker 5: what say you? Well, you know what. 1903 01:27:00,080 --> 01:27:01,400 Speaker 2: I grew up in New York City and I was 1904 01:27:01,400 --> 01:27:03,200 Speaker 2: a Giant fan, so I'd love to see the Giants swim. 1905 01:27:03,240 --> 01:27:04,479 Speaker 2: But I don't think it's gonna happen. I think it's 1906 01:27:04,479 --> 01:27:07,160 Speaker 2: gonna be a close game, and it's Sakwon Barkley basically 1907 01:27:07,240 --> 01:27:09,360 Speaker 2: with sixty percent of the offense last year. He takes 1908 01:27:09,400 --> 01:27:12,000 Speaker 2: the pressure off Daniel Jones. But again, if you look 1909 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,799 Speaker 2: at Dallas, is Tony Poula gonna be the guy to 1910 01:27:15,520 --> 01:27:18,000 Speaker 2: take the place of Ezigiel Elliott. I don't know, But 1911 01:27:18,080 --> 01:27:20,000 Speaker 2: here is the bottom line of this game. I believe 1912 01:27:20,439 --> 01:27:23,920 Speaker 2: both teams have a tremendous pass rush, so I think 1913 01:27:23,960 --> 01:27:26,000 Speaker 2: the games are gonna come down as to which team 1914 01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:30,040 Speaker 2: protects the quarterback and protects those stupid mistakes that may happen. 1915 01:27:30,160 --> 01:27:31,800 Speaker 2: So at the end of the day, I think the 1916 01:27:31,840 --> 01:27:33,960 Speaker 2: Cowboys win. They win by a field goal. 1917 01:27:34,240 --> 01:27:37,360 Speaker 5: Bucky Dak has won ten straight against the Giants as 1918 01:27:37,400 --> 01:27:38,320 Speaker 5: the streak continue. 1919 01:27:39,400 --> 01:27:42,080 Speaker 3: The streak does continue, but it's a very tight game. 1920 01:27:42,439 --> 01:27:44,400 Speaker 3: The New York Giants are going to make this a 1921 01:27:44,479 --> 01:27:45,760 Speaker 3: big go money the game up. 1922 01:27:45,680 --> 01:27:46,719 Speaker 4: With their style of play. 1923 01:27:46,960 --> 01:27:49,280 Speaker 3: Darren Rowler being a fifty Darren Waller being a fifty 1924 01:27:49,280 --> 01:27:52,439 Speaker 3: to fifty chance to go. Really need him there. If 1925 01:27:52,479 --> 01:27:54,519 Speaker 3: he's there, this game is super tight. If he's not, 1926 01:27:55,280 --> 01:27:57,439 Speaker 3: it's gonna be a game that's gonna be within seven 1927 01:27:57,479 --> 01:27:58,240 Speaker 3: in the fourth quarter. 1928 01:27:58,400 --> 01:27:59,880 Speaker 4: But then the Cowboys run away from an it. 1929 01:28:00,400 --> 01:28:02,559 Speaker 5: There you go. Tony Pollard a big question mark of 1930 01:28:02,600 --> 01:28:05,400 Speaker 5: what he can handle over the course of a full season. 1931 01:28:05,439 --> 01:28:07,800 Speaker 5: Andy I think I'm with you in lockstep as much 1932 01:28:07,800 --> 01:28:09,760 Speaker 5: as I like Deuce Vaughn because he may be the 1933 01:28:09,800 --> 01:28:12,080 Speaker 5: only guy that's ever suited up in an NFL game 1934 01:28:12,120 --> 01:28:15,680 Speaker 5: shorter than me, and that says a lot. Look, I'm 1935 01:28:15,720 --> 01:28:17,320 Speaker 5: a fire plug. You guys have met me. 1936 01:28:17,400 --> 01:28:17,920 Speaker 4: You know me. 1937 01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:20,840 Speaker 5: I'm not a tall man. Back when it was going 1938 01:28:20,840 --> 01:28:22,360 Speaker 5: into high school, They're like, well, he can make you 1939 01:28:22,360 --> 01:28:24,840 Speaker 5: a really wide I'm like, how are we gonna do that? 1940 01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:25,800 Speaker 5: I don't want to do that. 1941 01:28:26,640 --> 01:28:26,840 Speaker 4: Man. 1942 01:28:27,040 --> 01:28:29,240 Speaker 5: I like having the base that I got, but I mean, 1943 01:28:29,400 --> 01:28:32,880 Speaker 5: I don't know any wider. I got problems. I'm already 1944 01:28:32,920 --> 01:28:36,120 Speaker 5: struggling on the knees. No, you're tough, though you can. 1945 01:28:36,080 --> 01:28:37,360 Speaker 2: Run through a wall. You're tough. 1946 01:28:37,479 --> 01:28:40,680 Speaker 5: Well that's it, Quadzilla. Baby. Here, I'm stealing it from 1947 01:28:40,760 --> 01:28:43,479 Speaker 5: sa Quon Barkley, if only for the moment to try 1948 01:28:43,479 --> 01:28:46,080 Speaker 5: to prop myself up here. Let's get another game in. 1949 01:28:46,200 --> 01:28:49,760 Speaker 5: Let's go Dolphins and Chargers. Oh, now we're talking. You 1950 01:28:49,800 --> 01:28:52,759 Speaker 5: want to talk about a sexy matchup Chargers three point 1951 01:28:52,800 --> 01:28:57,479 Speaker 5: favorites at home fifty one, the nice robust total. As 1952 01:28:57,520 --> 01:29:00,400 Speaker 5: we get ready for this one, no armstead on that 1953 01:29:00,520 --> 01:29:03,920 Speaker 5: offensive line, so all of a sudden, the alarm bells 1954 01:29:03,920 --> 01:29:06,640 Speaker 5: start ringing. Remember Joey Bosa didn't even play when they 1955 01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:11,240 Speaker 5: were terrorizing the Dolphins last year. He's back. One of 1956 01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:14,440 Speaker 5: the big questions is j C. Jackson in the secondary. 1957 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:16,839 Speaker 5: You want to talk about a year you'd like to forget, 1958 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:19,600 Speaker 5: coming off with a huge year and the huge contract, 1959 01:29:19,760 --> 01:29:22,600 Speaker 5: and then you get Rashaan Slater back for the offensive 1960 01:29:22,640 --> 01:29:26,679 Speaker 5: line for your Chargers. So in theory the run offense 1961 01:29:26,720 --> 01:29:29,439 Speaker 5: which was just deplorable at times, and yes, I know, 1962 01:29:29,560 --> 01:29:33,160 Speaker 5: fantasy owners, Austin Eckler had a fantastic year. They couldn't 1963 01:29:33,240 --> 01:29:35,960 Speaker 5: run the ball and they couldn't stop the run. Those 1964 01:29:35,960 --> 01:29:38,280 Speaker 5: things have to happen. I guess they're blessed to a 1965 01:29:38,360 --> 01:29:42,719 Speaker 5: degree is that Miami doesn't have that single solitary dominant back, 1966 01:29:43,040 --> 01:29:45,439 Speaker 5: but certainly a lot to cover when you look at 1967 01:29:45,479 --> 01:29:49,520 Speaker 5: Waddle and Hill on the outside, Kellen Moore, Vic Fangio 1968 01:29:49,600 --> 01:29:51,800 Speaker 5: getting after it, Bucky. How do you see this one 1969 01:29:52,000 --> 01:29:53,280 Speaker 5: here in Los Angeles? 1970 01:29:55,160 --> 01:29:56,880 Speaker 3: This is gonna be tough because in Los Angeles you 1971 01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,040 Speaker 3: know that it won't be a full crowd, so they 1972 01:29:59,040 --> 01:30:01,680 Speaker 3: won't really have the benefit of a home game. This 1973 01:30:01,720 --> 01:30:04,040 Speaker 3: would be one where the Dolphins defense really gets to 1974 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:08,360 Speaker 3: stand up. Vig Fangio kind of showing his pupil, Brandon 1975 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,519 Speaker 3: Staley how to call a great defensive game. 1976 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:14,679 Speaker 4: Give me the Miami Dolphins. Let's be showing offense and. 1977 01:30:14,600 --> 01:30:17,840 Speaker 3: The defense being able to get it done with with that. 1978 01:30:18,040 --> 01:30:19,480 Speaker 5: Wow, look at that. 1979 01:30:19,479 --> 01:30:21,880 Speaker 2: That's gutsy. That's a gutsy call, Bucket. It really is. 1980 01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:28,479 Speaker 2: It really is. The charges, Yes, the charges. Yes, I'll 1981 01:30:28,479 --> 01:30:31,959 Speaker 2: tell you why. Number one. Miami's without Jalen Ramsey, the quarterback. 1982 01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:34,479 Speaker 2: Number one. Number two. I know they got Tyreek Hill, 1983 01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:36,960 Speaker 2: they got Jalen Waller. That's a big thing. I worry 1984 01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:39,080 Speaker 2: about Tua. You know, I want to if he could 1985 01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,000 Speaker 2: take I mean, Dolphins are gonna go as far as 1986 01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,679 Speaker 2: Toua takes them. But look with the concussions last year, 1987 01:30:46,680 --> 01:30:49,360 Speaker 2: I just I don't know. I don't know what he's got. 1988 01:30:49,560 --> 01:30:51,360 Speaker 2: You know, maybe one hit, he may be out of 1989 01:30:51,400 --> 01:30:54,040 Speaker 2: the game. I don't know. But this game should be 1990 01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:59,680 Speaker 2: a high scoring guy, a high scoring game, power offenses. 1991 01:31:00,040 --> 01:31:02,679 Speaker 2: You look at Justin Herbert. He's got the weapons there. 1992 01:31:02,760 --> 01:31:05,639 Speaker 2: He's got Keenan Allen, he's got Williams, he's got Palmer, 1993 01:31:05,800 --> 01:31:08,800 Speaker 2: he's got the rookie there, Johnston. I just think that 1994 01:31:08,880 --> 01:31:10,639 Speaker 2: the Charges win this game. I really do. 1995 01:31:11,520 --> 01:31:15,120 Speaker 5: Kellen Moore, the man of the hour, the head coach 1996 01:31:15,200 --> 01:31:17,160 Speaker 5: in waiting, because you know, people are just waiting for 1997 01:31:17,640 --> 01:31:23,360 Speaker 5: Brandon Staley to fail or in his assessment of down distance, 1998 01:31:23,680 --> 01:31:27,400 Speaker 5: time and clock management. But a lot on the arm 1999 01:31:27,439 --> 01:31:31,120 Speaker 5: of Justin Herbert. Right. With great power and giant novelty 2000 01:31:31,200 --> 01:31:35,840 Speaker 5: contracts comes great responsibility. And this is a guy. The 2001 01:31:35,880 --> 01:31:37,640 Speaker 5: thing I like about him most. I don't know how 2002 01:31:37,720 --> 01:31:42,080 Speaker 5: much you guys have followed the man. I've never seen 2003 01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 5: anybody dodge cameras better than Justin Herbert. You will never 2004 01:31:46,400 --> 01:31:50,519 Speaker 5: find him in the media fodder or page six for 2005 01:31:50,640 --> 01:31:53,240 Speaker 5: something he said. Because the man doesn't. 2006 01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:56,080 Speaker 3: Talk nice, says out the way. He does a really 2007 01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:57,640 Speaker 3: good job of staying out of the way. He's not 2008 01:31:57,680 --> 01:31:59,479 Speaker 3: trying to get into it. A little tip for you guys, 2009 01:31:59,479 --> 01:32:01,599 Speaker 3: Little Birdie told me that you might see the Charges 2010 01:32:01,640 --> 01:32:04,960 Speaker 3: play really, really fast, a lot of up tempo stuff, 2011 01:32:04,960 --> 01:32:07,240 Speaker 3: trying to get a million plays in a lot of 2012 01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:09,920 Speaker 3: passing yards. Don't know how much they're gonna run the ball, 2013 01:32:09,960 --> 01:32:11,439 Speaker 3: but look for them to be an attack mo with 2014 01:32:11,479 --> 01:32:12,880 Speaker 3: j Justin Herbert leading the way. 2015 01:32:12,600 --> 01:32:14,240 Speaker 2: To put and then one thing the Charges have always 2016 01:32:14,240 --> 01:32:16,360 Speaker 2: done in the past, they can't close. They may have 2017 01:32:16,360 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 2: to lead in the fourth quarter and they blow it. 2018 01:32:18,120 --> 01:32:19,960 Speaker 2: They just can't close. They're not good closers. 2019 01:32:20,400 --> 01:32:22,680 Speaker 5: Oh, that becomes the question, right do you are you 2020 01:32:22,800 --> 01:32:26,240 Speaker 5: able to leave some of the pass behind? Right? Andy, 2021 01:32:26,439 --> 01:32:29,360 Speaker 5: you know you're there near the Bengals and they've had 2022 01:32:29,400 --> 01:32:31,599 Speaker 5: some great runs and we celebrate a lot of those 2023 01:32:31,720 --> 01:32:34,160 Speaker 5: runs they had with Marvin Lewis, I know, our guy TJ. 2024 01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:37,840 Speaker 5: Huschminzada alongside with Ocho Cinco. They had some of the 2025 01:32:37,880 --> 01:32:40,519 Speaker 5: great runs with Carson Palmer and what they were putting up. 2026 01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:44,000 Speaker 5: But then once we got towards January, didn't quite run. 2027 01:32:44,120 --> 01:32:47,400 Speaker 5: Then you have the level of futility and right back 2028 01:32:47,439 --> 01:32:50,760 Speaker 5: to prominence now, but always looking to see can you 2029 01:32:50,760 --> 01:32:53,160 Speaker 5: close it out the Chargers usually it's that rough stretch 2030 01:32:53,479 --> 01:32:57,120 Speaker 5: and then the second half they go on like gangbusters 2031 01:32:57,120 --> 01:32:59,960 Speaker 5: to make it interesting. We'll see if they can actually 2032 01:33:00,120 --> 01:33:02,400 Speaker 5: get off the jump here. Otherwise it's gonna be a 2033 01:33:02,439 --> 01:33:05,080 Speaker 5: really chilly day for me tomorrow in the studio, guys, 2034 01:33:05,120 --> 01:33:08,040 Speaker 5: because half of my broadcast team works for the Chargers 2035 01:33:08,120 --> 01:33:11,400 Speaker 5: Radio and the other guy's a Jets fan, you want 2036 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:14,439 Speaker 5: to talk about me walking into a buzz saw tomorrow 2037 01:33:14,600 --> 01:33:18,360 Speaker 5: night here on Fox Sports Radio.

But in Foxborough today we got 2088 01:36:11,960 --> 01:36:16,920 Speaker 5: a big one Eagles at Patriots, another home underdog. A 2089 01:36:16,920 --> 01:36:20,240 Speaker 5: lot of those on the slates, including a few divisional games. 2090 01:36:20,560 --> 01:36:23,519 Speaker 5: Eagles four point favorites on the road at New England. 2091 01:36:23,720 --> 01:36:28,120 Speaker 5: Devonte Parker not available. Surprise, surprise, They've got a whole 2092 01:36:28,120 --> 01:36:30,960 Speaker 5: thing going on. With Matt Corrall. Not gonna speculate there, 2093 01:36:31,000 --> 01:36:34,040 Speaker 5: but away from the team, Bailey Zappi signed to the 2094 01:36:34,080 --> 01:36:37,120 Speaker 5: practice squad, gets elevated back to the fifty three man roster. 2095 01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:40,080 Speaker 5: Shuffle up and deal in terms of some of the 2096 01:36:40,160 --> 01:36:44,919 Speaker 5: wide receiver options. As we look at Alabama, Mac Jones 2097 01:36:45,000 --> 01:36:48,960 Speaker 5: under Bill O'Brien, can that offense find something? Stevenson was sick, 2098 01:36:49,000 --> 01:36:51,559 Speaker 5: look like he's gonna be able to go the other side. Well, 2099 01:36:51,720 --> 01:36:55,160 Speaker 5: new offensive coordinator for the Eagles, but on paper, still 2100 01:36:55,160 --> 01:36:57,680 Speaker 5: a fifty three man roster that strikes fear in the 2101 01:36:57,680 --> 01:37:00,840 Speaker 5: hearts of many a man. Well, you know what, because 2102 01:37:00,840 --> 01:37:03,280 Speaker 5: he's dealing with some personal strife. He's got his heart 2103 01:37:03,360 --> 01:37:07,480 Speaker 5: somewhere else there. But Bill Belichick. We don't like necessarily 2104 01:37:07,520 --> 01:37:10,960 Speaker 5: Bill Belichick the GM, but Bill Belichick the coach can 2105 01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:13,320 Speaker 5: still get after it. I like New England to win 2106 01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:16,240 Speaker 5: this game out right as they celebrate Tom Brady and 2107 01:37:16,439 --> 01:37:21,439 Speaker 5: ride the emotional wave opportunity to go and disrupt in 2108 01:37:21,520 --> 01:37:25,160 Speaker 5: a first matchup against Jalen Hurts. Andy Furman, what say you? 2109 01:37:25,479 --> 01:37:27,280 Speaker 2: I hope so, I hope you're right. And I love 2110 01:37:27,320 --> 01:37:29,160 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, He's my guy. But I'll tell you this 2111 01:37:29,320 --> 01:37:31,439 Speaker 2: much so once that kind of popped out to me, 2112 01:37:31,720 --> 01:37:33,280 Speaker 2: Big Tom, when I was looking at this game. The 2113 01:37:33,320 --> 01:37:37,080 Speaker 2: Eagles allowed the fewest passing yards per game last year, 2114 01:37:37,479 --> 01:37:40,439 Speaker 2: and this secondary struggle. But here's the problem. I don't 2115 01:37:40,439 --> 01:37:43,080 Speaker 2: know who's going to pass the football for New England. 2116 01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:45,880 Speaker 2: Can Mac Jones get it done? You know? Defensively, I 2117 01:37:45,880 --> 01:37:49,040 Speaker 2: have no problem whatsoever. I think defensively it's going to 2118 01:37:49,120 --> 01:37:52,320 Speaker 2: be the Patriots stopping their run, and the Patriots could 2119 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,559 Speaker 2: get it done. Belichick will be prepping for this one. 2120 01:37:54,600 --> 01:37:57,479 Speaker 2: But offensively, can they put points on the board. I 2121 01:37:57,600 --> 01:37:59,920 Speaker 2: worry about that. You know, you say Stevenson, he's the 2122 01:38:00,080 --> 01:38:02,160 Speaker 2: running back, he's score. He rushed for over one thousand 2123 01:38:02,240 --> 01:38:05,160 Speaker 2: yards list year. Will he play today? Kenny get it done. 2124 01:38:05,800 --> 01:38:08,360 Speaker 2: It's gonna be a tough hole. I think they willment them. 2125 01:38:08,439 --> 01:38:10,360 Speaker 2: Maybe being at home is going to be a difference. 2126 01:38:10,400 --> 01:38:13,559 Speaker 2: But I would love that. I'm talking though, with my heart, 2127 01:38:13,680 --> 01:38:16,000 Speaker 2: not my head. I would love to see the Patriots 2128 01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,800 Speaker 2: win this game, fucking. 2129 01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:22,200 Speaker 3: As much as I would look. I mean, I love 2130 01:38:22,280 --> 01:38:24,439 Speaker 3: that everyone is all on the Patriots right now, but 2131 01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:28,479 Speaker 3: are they good enough to really take down a team 2132 01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:28,760 Speaker 3: like this? 2133 01:38:30,320 --> 01:38:30,439 Speaker 8: One? 2134 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:32,040 Speaker 5: Breaks some strange bedfellows. 2135 01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 4: I mean, emotions and all of that stuff. 2136 01:38:35,920 --> 01:38:37,280 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, you still have to 2137 01:38:37,320 --> 01:38:40,599 Speaker 3: have players, and I don't know if they have enough players. 2138 01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:42,040 Speaker 4: I'm gonna go with the Eagles. The Eagles are the 2139 01:38:42,080 --> 01:38:42,920 Speaker 4: class of the NFC. 2140 01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,360 Speaker 3: And we're talking about the Patriots as if Tom Brady's 2141 01:38:45,360 --> 01:38:46,559 Speaker 3: gonna play, He's not suited up. 2142 01:38:47,160 --> 01:38:51,599 Speaker 5: You don't know that. No, if anybody finds on tickets, 2143 01:38:51,600 --> 01:38:54,559 Speaker 5: they're getting out. Harmon would like one for his collection. 2144 01:38:54,760 --> 01:38:57,800 Speaker 5: But the big thing I guess for me, Bucky, is 2145 01:38:58,200 --> 01:39:01,040 Speaker 5: do they need to get into a scoring fest to 2146 01:39:01,120 --> 01:39:03,639 Speaker 5: potentially win this one? Over under? Sitting at forty four 2147 01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:05,920 Speaker 5: and a half, one of the lower totals of the week, 2148 01:39:05,960 --> 01:39:08,760 Speaker 5: and we know Belichick can still coach up defense and 2149 01:39:08,920 --> 01:39:12,800 Speaker 5: maybe slow things down. I am I just wishing and 2150 01:39:12,840 --> 01:39:14,200 Speaker 5: hoping at this point. 2151 01:39:15,520 --> 01:39:17,960 Speaker 2: I think so, am I I'm wishing to day. 2152 01:39:18,960 --> 01:39:21,840 Speaker 5: I thought it was a student analysis of these school 2153 01:39:22,120 --> 01:39:24,880 Speaker 5: task Master putting the hood up like he's one of 2154 01:39:24,880 --> 01:39:27,639 Speaker 5: the Sith lords in the Star Wars universe to get 2155 01:39:27,680 --> 01:39:28,920 Speaker 5: after Jalen hurtson instance. 2156 01:39:29,080 --> 01:39:31,800 Speaker 2: But should Philadelphia win? But should Piladelphia win? I don't 2157 01:39:31,800 --> 01:39:34,040 Speaker 2: see a blowout. I really don't. I don't think they 2158 01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:35,120 Speaker 2: win by more than a touchdown. 2159 01:39:35,160 --> 01:39:38,599 Speaker 5: If they do win, keep it close, have a chance 2160 01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:41,040 Speaker 5: towards the end. That's all you can ask for in 2161 01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:43,960 Speaker 5: the National Football League.

Here we go. Packers and Bears. Bears 2168 01:40:05,479 --> 01:40:09,880 Speaker 5: a narrow one point favorite forty two, the over under. 2169 01:40:10,200 --> 01:40:13,280 Speaker 5: Suddenly the trendy pick. I saw it all over the Bears, 2170 01:40:13,320 --> 01:40:17,559 Speaker 5: the Bears, the Bears. Bears couldn't pass the ball downfield. 2171 01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:21,200 Speaker 5: DJ Moore will help with some of that. Defensively, you 2172 01:40:21,320 --> 01:40:23,840 Speaker 5: change out half a unit on a unit that's been 2173 01:40:24,040 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 5: well terrible year after year. Eber Flusen company getting after 2174 01:40:28,360 --> 01:40:31,559 Speaker 5: justin fields. We know that he could pass. We talked 2175 01:40:31,560 --> 01:40:36,519 Speaker 5: about this last week, Bucky and throughout, but I'm on board. 2176 01:40:36,560 --> 01:40:39,040 Speaker 5: The Packers have been on record that they're winning this division. 2177 01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 5: I heard you guys talking about it a little bit earlier. 2178 01:40:42,200 --> 01:40:45,479 Speaker 5: But do they get off the jump well with no 2179 01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,599 Speaker 5: Christian Watson, Bucky start with you. 2180 01:40:50,800 --> 01:40:53,240 Speaker 3: I still think they get off to a high start. 2181 01:40:53,360 --> 01:40:54,840 Speaker 3: I like this team. I like this team because of 2182 01:40:54,840 --> 01:40:57,639 Speaker 3: the defense. Jordan Love is going to surprise us offensively differently, 2183 01:40:57,680 --> 01:41:00,559 Speaker 3: this would be a different style of Packers Teamley. They 2184 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 3: have to carry the weight the big sombrero this week 2185 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,560 Speaker 3: is all on defensive. 2186 01:41:05,120 --> 01:41:06,240 Speaker 4: Coordinator Joe Bearrs. 2187 01:41:06,400 --> 01:41:09,439 Speaker 3: Sir, Joe Barry has to have this defense playing at 2188 01:41:09,439 --> 01:41:12,080 Speaker 3: a top ten level. He can't complain. I looked at 2189 01:41:12,120 --> 01:41:14,600 Speaker 3: it too deep. You got seven guys that are up and. 2190 01:41:14,600 --> 01:41:16,400 Speaker 4: Available that were former first round picks. 2191 01:41:16,439 --> 01:41:18,160 Speaker 3: You have another guy in Eric Stots who's on pupp 2192 01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:20,960 Speaker 3: I mean, you can't talk about not having talent. So 2193 01:41:21,080 --> 01:41:22,800 Speaker 3: this has to be on Joe Barry to figure out 2194 01:41:22,800 --> 01:41:24,000 Speaker 3: a way to get this done. 2195 01:41:24,080 --> 01:41:26,600 Speaker 5: Now. I was fit quick to get on Aaron Rodgers. 2196 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:31,200 Speaker 5: You know last season, not their first few games, no coordination, 2197 01:41:31,560 --> 01:41:34,840 Speaker 5: you know, with the young guys, whatever. But Barry's defense 2198 01:41:35,479 --> 01:41:38,960 Speaker 5: so grossly underperformed for just the reason you just said, 2199 01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:41,680 Speaker 5: like my expectations, they'd be a top five unit. They 2200 01:41:41,800 --> 01:41:44,040 Speaker 5: forced as many turnovers as the three of us did 2201 01:41:44,080 --> 01:41:48,000 Speaker 5: sitting on our couches. MM hm, Andy, what are you 2202 01:41:48,040 --> 01:41:48,439 Speaker 5: thinking this? 2203 01:41:48,520 --> 01:41:52,040 Speaker 2: Why are you ready for this? The Chicago Bears today 2204 01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:57,200 Speaker 2: snap their eight game losing streak. Justin Field's stars, the 2205 01:41:57,280 --> 01:42:01,519 Speaker 2: defense rattles. Jordan Love, although is going to have running 2206 01:42:01,520 --> 01:42:04,320 Speaker 2: backs Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon and Bucky Brooks, says 2207 01:42:04,439 --> 01:42:07,000 Speaker 2: that the Green Bay Packers are the sleepers of the NFL. 2208 01:42:07,080 --> 01:42:09,040 Speaker 2: They may very well be, but they'll be sleeping today 2209 01:42:09,160 --> 01:42:11,120 Speaker 2: because they're not going to win. And I'll tell you what. 2210 01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:13,800 Speaker 2: With the addition of wide receive a DJ Moore on 2211 01:42:13,840 --> 01:42:16,720 Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears gives him another outlet. I think the 2212 01:42:16,760 --> 01:42:19,240 Speaker 2: Bears win this one. Not by much, maybe by a 2213 01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:21,519 Speaker 2: field goal. But the Chicago Bears win today. 2214 01:42:21,680 --> 01:42:24,519 Speaker 5: I can tell you. In a parking lot somewhere near 2215 01:42:24,640 --> 01:42:27,759 Speaker 5: Soldier Field, my brothers and I just now have inspired 2216 01:42:27,800 --> 01:42:29,960 Speaker 5: a bunch of people to cheer what you just said. 2217 01:42:30,120 --> 01:42:32,479 Speaker 5: You are now a hero in the city of Chicago 2218 01:42:32,560 --> 01:42:37,040 Speaker 5: on the air waves through the power of the iHeartRadio. 2219 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:37,880 Speaker 2: Or Chicago Dog. I'll be happy. 2220 01:42:38,320 --> 01:42:40,280 Speaker 5: You know what I can make that happen for you. 2221 01:42:40,600 --> 01:42:42,920 Speaker 5: Let me make that happen for you, Andy Furman. We 2222 01:42:42,960 --> 01:42:45,479 Speaker 5: will have those in the mail to you this. 2223 01:42:45,360 --> 01:42:47,320 Speaker 2: Week, and I'll get you some Cincinnati chili. 2224 01:42:47,360 --> 01:42:51,400 Speaker 5: See.

We find winners, we find informations, 2288 01:46:05,800 --> 01:46:09,000 Speaker 5: and we keep you entertained. This game is entertaining because 2289 01:46:09,040 --> 01:46:12,200 Speaker 5: the two quarterbacks at the top of the heap Raiders 2290 01:46:12,240 --> 01:46:15,120 Speaker 5: a Broncos. That might be the only thing entertaining about 2291 01:46:15,120 --> 01:46:17,920 Speaker 5: this game is talking about the quarterbacks as we go, 2292 01:46:18,520 --> 01:46:21,679 Speaker 5: the Broncos three and a half point favorites at home 2293 01:46:21,760 --> 01:46:24,559 Speaker 5: forty four and a half, all the talking, all the 2294 01:46:24,720 --> 01:46:28,000 Speaker 5: Sean Payton. If this goes wrong, it's all his fault. 2295 01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:31,280 Speaker 5: Talk goes down because we actually get on the field 2296 01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:34,599 Speaker 5: to play wide receivers. They've had their injuries. You've got 2297 01:46:34,640 --> 01:46:38,639 Speaker 5: Javonte Williams coming back for the Raiders. You've got Jimmy 2298 01:46:38,720 --> 01:46:41,640 Speaker 5: g Right, We got Jimmy g and Russell Wilson. What 2299 01:46:41,680 --> 01:46:45,840 Speaker 5: else could you want? Storylines for days? Josh Jacobs is back, 2300 01:46:45,880 --> 01:46:50,599 Speaker 5: Devonte Adams is ready, but can the Raiders get after 2301 01:46:50,640 --> 01:46:53,679 Speaker 5: it on defense? No, Chandler Jones, he might go pull 2302 01:46:54,240 --> 01:46:56,599 Speaker 5: the opportunity, you know, like we had the other night 2303 01:46:56,640 --> 01:46:59,000 Speaker 5: where you're sitting in a skybox eating some popcorn and 2304 01:46:59,080 --> 01:47:01,479 Speaker 5: just waving. I don't think he's bad got him into 2305 01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:05,920 Speaker 5: the building either way. But the Broncos minus three and 2306 01:47:05,920 --> 01:47:09,479 Speaker 5: a half home field. Does the feel good from the 2307 01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:13,000 Speaker 5: Colorado Buffaloes carry over to Sunday? Andy Furman, I. 2308 01:47:12,960 --> 01:47:15,080 Speaker 2: Think it does, you know what? I like the Broncos, 2309 01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:18,320 Speaker 2: I really do. I think Russell Wilson's got a surge 2310 01:47:18,320 --> 01:47:21,400 Speaker 2: of confidence from Sean Payton. You know what Sean Payton 2311 01:47:21,479 --> 01:47:24,800 Speaker 2: did to Nathaniel Hackett, and he did it not to 2312 01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:27,360 Speaker 2: attack Hacket, although it turned out that way. He did 2313 01:47:27,360 --> 01:47:30,000 Speaker 2: it to support Russell Wilson. That's basically what he did. 2314 01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:33,160 Speaker 2: What Russell Wilson's problem was not so much as skill set, 2315 01:47:33,360 --> 01:47:36,640 Speaker 2: his lack of confidence. What happened last year, it really was. 2316 01:47:36,840 --> 01:47:41,200 Speaker 2: But look, the Raiders have a great secondary and they 2317 01:47:41,280 --> 01:47:44,280 Speaker 2: got to feed the ball to just Jacobs. They got 2318 01:47:44,320 --> 01:47:47,320 Speaker 2: Devonte Adams, they got everything going for them, Max Crosby, 2319 01:47:47,479 --> 01:47:50,040 Speaker 2: they got these great players there. But the game is 2320 01:47:50,080 --> 01:47:53,519 Speaker 2: in Denver, this hype, this new belief, this Sean Payton, 2321 01:47:53,720 --> 01:47:57,440 Speaker 2: and I think Sean Payton's gonna revive Russell Wilson's playmaking 2322 01:47:57,439 --> 01:48:00,599 Speaker 2: ability after a terrible year last year. And he's got 2323 01:48:00,600 --> 01:48:02,680 Speaker 2: the weapons to do it. He really does. So I 2324 01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:05,640 Speaker 2: like Denver, maybe buy a field goal, but I like 2325 01:48:05,680 --> 01:48:06,719 Speaker 2: den For to win this game. 2326 01:48:08,640 --> 01:48:09,439 Speaker 4: And let's Sean. 2327 01:48:09,760 --> 01:48:13,080 Speaker 3: Unless Sean Payton has Big Ben in his clock, a 2328 01:48:13,080 --> 01:48:17,679 Speaker 3: clock in his pocket where you can turn back Ranger 2329 01:48:17,720 --> 01:48:22,320 Speaker 3: in their it's over. It's over for Russell Wilson. Being 2330 01:48:22,360 --> 01:48:25,160 Speaker 3: the athlete that we saw. He's thirty three, thirty four 2331 01:48:25,240 --> 01:48:25,880 Speaker 3: years of age. 2332 01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:26,400 Speaker 4: Uh. 2333 01:48:26,560 --> 01:48:29,920 Speaker 3: He doesn't look comfortable in any system to me. I 2334 01:48:30,080 --> 01:48:33,120 Speaker 3: don't think Russell Wilson plays any better. They may hide him, 2335 01:48:33,280 --> 01:48:35,280 Speaker 3: but he's still who he is. I'm going with the 2336 01:48:35,360 --> 01:48:38,080 Speaker 3: Raiders without Chandler Jones. It doesn't matter. He didn't really 2337 01:48:38,080 --> 01:48:40,800 Speaker 3: give them much last year anyway. So this is Max 2338 01:48:40,920 --> 01:48:43,640 Speaker 3: Crosby and the defense. They got to rise up. I 2339 01:48:43,720 --> 01:48:44,639 Speaker 3: like the Raiders in this one. 2340 01:48:44,680 --> 01:48:47,400 Speaker 5: Don't punch me, Bro, Don't punch men one of the 2341 01:48:47,400 --> 01:48:50,800 Speaker 5: great moments from the season one of Quarterback. We'll see 2342 01:48:50,800 --> 01:48:53,880 Speaker 5: if there is another. Uh yeah, the Raiders intrigued me. 2343 01:48:53,920 --> 01:48:57,000 Speaker 5: So long as Jimmy g is upright, they're always going 2344 01:48:57,040 --> 01:49:00,080 Speaker 5: to be in games. We know that historically, Just and 2345 01:49:00,160 --> 01:49:02,439 Speaker 5: he make the one play to get it done. Devontae 2346 01:49:02,520 --> 01:49:05,400 Speaker 5: Adams a guy much like Mike Evans and some of 2347 01:49:05,439 --> 01:49:08,439 Speaker 5: these others where we start doing the fanciful let's trade 2348 01:49:08,439 --> 01:49:10,000 Speaker 5: them to one of these teams that might need some 2349 01:49:10,080 --> 01:49:13,200 Speaker 5: help along the way, and we start photoshopping them into 2350 01:49:13,240 --> 01:49:16,240 Speaker 5: other uniforms before we even kick the ball off. Isn't 2351 01:49:16,320 --> 01:49:19,920 Speaker 5: a great technology? Is wonderful? All right? Two more games 2352 01:49:20,040 --> 01:49:23,240 Speaker 5: to go to, one that maybe I'm the only guy 2353 01:49:23,240 --> 01:49:25,880 Speaker 5: that really wants to watch it because I'm curious to 2354 01:49:25,920 --> 01:49:29,840 Speaker 5: see exactly how bad it can get. Rams at Seahawks, 2355 01:49:29,920 --> 01:49:32,360 Speaker 5: and that is for the Rams. You heard Kevin Wyres 2356 01:49:32,400 --> 01:49:35,760 Speaker 5: report of Hey, the Jets kick the tires on Matthew Stafford. 2357 01:49:36,160 --> 01:49:39,080 Speaker 5: He was kicking the tires on retirement. Now his wife 2358 01:49:39,160 --> 01:49:43,639 Speaker 5: on a podcast talking about communication, which I don't think 2359 01:49:43,720 --> 01:49:46,160 Speaker 5: was bad. I think it got more blown up than 2360 01:49:46,160 --> 01:49:48,360 Speaker 5: it should have been. I thought that was just a Hey, 2361 01:49:48,400 --> 01:49:50,880 Speaker 5: that's a sign of life. That's what we're all trying 2362 01:49:50,880 --> 01:49:53,479 Speaker 5: to get through. Try communicating with your kids without a 2363 01:49:53,479 --> 01:49:56,200 Speaker 5: phone being in the middle of it. Good luck Seattle 2364 01:49:56,240 --> 01:50:00,120 Speaker 5: five and a half point home favorites. The Rams know 2365 01:50:00,280 --> 01:50:04,040 Speaker 5: Cooper Cup we'd heard all of the mysterious things about 2366 01:50:04,080 --> 01:50:06,760 Speaker 5: his leg. Finally goes to the I R. So it's 2367 01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:10,640 Speaker 5: the to two at well show. Uh and Van Jefferson 2368 01:50:10,880 --> 01:50:13,800 Speaker 5: not to be confused with the great Van Morrison still 2369 01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:17,759 Speaker 5: touring at a city near you. That was a wonderful remark. 2370 01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:19,920 Speaker 5: What say you, Bucky, do you have one to follow 2371 01:50:19,960 --> 01:50:23,920 Speaker 5: that up? I got I got a random Van Morrison 2372 01:50:24,080 --> 01:50:27,799 Speaker 5: song title because I'm can't appreciated the key today. 2373 01:50:28,880 --> 01:50:32,679 Speaker 3: Yeah, I feel I feel the random Van Morrison reference. 2374 01:50:32,720 --> 01:50:34,559 Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go to the Seattle Seahawks. They had 2375 01:50:34,560 --> 01:50:36,640 Speaker 3: a better team. I don't want to sit here on 2376 01:50:36,720 --> 01:50:38,400 Speaker 3: radio and say that the Rams a terrible. They're terrible, 2377 01:50:38,600 --> 01:50:43,160 Speaker 3: terrible and Matthew Stafford there's no one on the team 2378 01:50:43,200 --> 01:50:45,639 Speaker 3: that you would say, I have to have this player 2379 01:50:45,680 --> 01:50:48,680 Speaker 3: outside of those two guys, because that's not enough. The 2380 01:50:48,720 --> 01:50:50,880 Speaker 3: Seattle Seahawks are primed and ready, and I know is 2381 01:50:51,439 --> 01:50:54,080 Speaker 3: opening week and emotions and all that, it's not gonna matter. 2382 01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:55,920 Speaker 4: Seattle's gonna take him to the ship. This is gonna 2383 01:50:55,920 --> 01:50:56,479 Speaker 4: be a beat down. 2384 01:50:57,360 --> 01:50:59,559 Speaker 2: Sean mcvagh, You made a mistake. Me and Bucky talked 2385 01:50:59,560 --> 01:51:01,439 Speaker 2: about this today. You should have went to TV when 2386 01:51:01,479 --> 01:51:03,519 Speaker 2: you can. You got the Super Bowl. You should have 2387 01:51:03,520 --> 01:51:05,800 Speaker 2: went out on top. It's gonna be ugly. You're gonna 2388 01:51:05,840 --> 01:51:08,640 Speaker 2: be crying today. Look, you gotta protect Matthew Stafford. You 2389 01:51:08,680 --> 01:51:10,200 Speaker 2: gotta give him Tom in the pocket. You know what, 2390 01:51:10,439 --> 01:51:12,200 Speaker 2: you didn't do it last year. I don't think it's 2391 01:51:12,200 --> 01:51:14,280 Speaker 2: gonna happen today. What's Seattle gonna do? I think the 2392 01:51:14,360 --> 01:51:16,320 Speaker 2: question is Gino Smith. Are we gonna see the same 2393 01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:16,960 Speaker 2: Geno Smith? 2394 01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:17,120 Speaker 8: Will? 2395 01:51:17,320 --> 01:51:19,160 Speaker 2: Will it be as good as last year? I don't know, 2396 01:51:19,240 --> 01:51:21,160 Speaker 2: but you know what. They're gonna run. They're gonna run 2397 01:51:21,200 --> 01:51:22,960 Speaker 2: the football because the Rams had one of the worst 2398 01:51:23,000 --> 01:51:26,479 Speaker 2: defenses against the run in the preseason this year, Kenneth Walker, 2399 01:51:26,560 --> 01:51:29,519 Speaker 2: the third, Zach Sharpeney, They're gonna give these guys that 2400 01:51:29,560 --> 01:51:31,439 Speaker 2: bull shove it in their belly and they're gonna run. 2401 01:51:31,560 --> 01:51:34,160 Speaker 2: Seattle's gonna come back, Seattle's gonna win, and Seattle may 2402 01:51:34,200 --> 01:51:36,760 Speaker 2: win bid this this game. They may be winn by 2403 01:51:36,800 --> 01:51:38,880 Speaker 2: about fourteen, they may win by double figures today, But 2404 01:51:38,880 --> 01:51:39,880 Speaker 2: Seattle wins this game. 2405 01:51:40,080 --> 01:51:42,760 Speaker 5: Gee no, gee, no, I just like being able to 2406 01:51:42,800 --> 01:51:46,400 Speaker 5: do that. Three wide receivers you deploy, you got the 2407 01:51:46,680 --> 01:51:50,439 Speaker 5: two running backs in the in the backfield there to 2408 01:51:50,600 --> 01:51:53,720 Speaker 5: roll it up. Yeah, opportunity here. And as for McVeigh, 2409 01:51:53,840 --> 01:51:55,960 Speaker 5: I think we bullied him back onto the sideline. But 2410 01:51:56,000 --> 01:51:58,000 Speaker 5: he also looked at the tea leads and said, if 2411 01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:01,520 Speaker 5: this team's really terrible, we get to do hard reset 2412 01:52:01,800 --> 01:52:04,960 Speaker 5: in twenty twenty four, all the big money. He'll be 2413 01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:08,240 Speaker 5: off the books. We can wave goodby to all these guys. 2414 01:52:08,600 --> 01:52:13,360 Speaker 5: And maybe I've got Caleb Williams, maybe I've got Schadeur Sanders, 2415 01:52:13,640 --> 01:52:18,040 Speaker 5: maybe I've got quarterback number three. Feel like you could 2416 01:52:18,080 --> 01:52:20,960 Speaker 5: do a reboot suddenly that reinvigorates a man. What do 2417 01:52:21,000 --> 01:52:22,360 Speaker 5: you think, I. 2418 01:52:22,360 --> 01:52:24,240 Speaker 2: Will tell you this much. I don't think Aaron Donald 2419 01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:26,599 Speaker 2: lists the sees. I think he's traded by the trade deadline. 2420 01:52:26,640 --> 01:52:30,439 Speaker 2: Oooh spicy, Yeah, I really did. What do you think 2421 01:52:30,439 --> 01:52:32,760 Speaker 2: buff Beckus? Look, they're in a rebuild, they're gonna get 2422 01:52:32,840 --> 01:52:35,439 Speaker 2: rid of I mean, right now, he's in the twilight 2423 01:52:35,479 --> 01:52:37,760 Speaker 2: of his career. He's thirty three, and he's not the 2424 01:52:38,040 --> 01:52:39,800 Speaker 2: number one rusher in the league. Right now, I think 2425 01:52:39,840 --> 01:52:42,240 Speaker 2: Aaron Donald goes to some team that could use him 2426 01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:43,360 Speaker 2: before the trade deadline. 2427 01:52:45,920 --> 01:52:48,439 Speaker 3: Man, this is tough. He still has to stay. I 2428 01:52:48,439 --> 01:52:50,759 Speaker 3: can't imagine him trading away to franchise player. 2429 01:52:51,240 --> 01:52:52,000 Speaker 4: He has to stay. 2430 01:52:52,720 --> 01:52:55,120 Speaker 5: It's a new day yesterday, but it's an old day now. 2431 01:52:55,400 --> 01:52:57,559 Speaker 5: Think about the bevy of picks you might be able 2432 01:52:57,600 --> 01:52:59,960 Speaker 5: to get run a team in search of a path 2433 01:53:00,160 --> 01:53:03,040 Speaker 5: rusher in the back end of the season. I like that. 2434 01:53:03,320 --> 01:53:06,200 Speaker 5: I like the bold proclamation, Andy Furman.

We got one more game, gentlemen, 2466 01:54:31,760 --> 01:54:34,280 Speaker 5: that we have to talk about. A lot of promos, 2467 01:54:34,360 --> 01:54:37,880 Speaker 5: a lot of bluster, a lot of hype. Sabertooth did 2468 01:54:37,920 --> 01:54:42,120 Speaker 5: all the voiceovers for the fun and excitement of Hard Knocks. 2469 01:54:42,480 --> 01:54:45,760 Speaker 5: Let's get it on. It's Monday night football, Bills and Jets, 2470 01:54:45,840 --> 01:54:48,040 Speaker 5: all right, When we look at this one the most 2471 01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:51,560 Speaker 5: hyped game I think in recent memory in the National 2472 01:54:51,560 --> 01:54:54,280 Speaker 5: Football League, and that Thursday game got a lot of hype. 2473 01:54:54,360 --> 01:54:58,400 Speaker 5: It's got nothing compared to the Hyperbolean excitement for anything 2474 01:54:58,440 --> 01:55:01,760 Speaker 5: related to Colorado football right now. But for the National 2475 01:55:01,760 --> 01:55:05,280 Speaker 5: Football League, it's all about the New York Football Jets 2476 01:55:05,480 --> 01:55:08,040 Speaker 5: and the greatest tourist the New York, New Jersey scene 2477 01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:11,000 Speaker 5: has ever seen in Aaron Rodgers Buffalo two and a 2478 01:55:11,080 --> 01:55:14,920 Speaker 5: half point favorites on the road, forty five and a 2479 01:55:14,920 --> 01:55:18,879 Speaker 5: half year total. I don't know what's real, what's imagined 2480 01:55:18,880 --> 01:55:23,160 Speaker 5: in terms of Digs versus Allen versus the offensive coordinator. 2481 01:55:23,520 --> 01:55:26,120 Speaker 5: I don't know how much towards the end of the season, 2482 01:55:26,160 --> 01:55:29,480 Speaker 5: as much as we got disappointed that the Buffalo Bills 2483 01:55:29,480 --> 01:55:33,120 Speaker 5: couldn't finish the job, how much their season was derailed 2484 01:55:33,360 --> 01:55:36,879 Speaker 5: by what happened to Tamar Hamlin in terms of energy, emotion, 2485 01:55:37,320 --> 01:55:40,120 Speaker 5: and the ability to finish out a season, and whether 2486 01:55:40,240 --> 01:55:43,520 Speaker 5: there's a carryover effect or we have the great reset 2487 01:55:43,560 --> 01:55:46,720 Speaker 5: with Hamlin being there and available for Week one. What 2488 01:55:46,800 --> 01:55:49,040 Speaker 5: I do know is I will be there with rapt attention. 2489 01:55:49,320 --> 01:55:51,280 Speaker 5: Folks will be able to watch me live and die 2490 01:55:51,360 --> 01:55:55,080 Speaker 5: and laugh and cry on Fox Sports Radio tomorrow night. 2491 01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:57,600 Speaker 5: As this game is live and in living color. I'll 2492 01:55:57,600 --> 01:56:02,920 Speaker 5: be opposite my Jets to partner Jason Smith. So Bucky Brooks, 2493 01:56:02,920 --> 01:56:07,040 Speaker 5: I start with you. Aaron Rodgers the opening game, Garrett Wilson, 2494 01:56:07,640 --> 01:56:11,800 Speaker 5: Sauce Gardner, Quentin Williams, all of these star power out 2495 01:56:11,960 --> 01:56:14,680 Speaker 5: for the good folks. Can they get a win at 2496 01:56:14,680 --> 01:56:15,880 Speaker 5: home to get things rolling? 2497 01:56:17,600 --> 01:56:18,600 Speaker 4: Mmmm? 2498 01:56:19,880 --> 01:56:21,760 Speaker 3: This has to be a feel good moment. This is 2499 01:56:22,160 --> 01:56:24,240 Speaker 3: almost like the Super Bowl for all the Jets fans. 2500 01:56:24,760 --> 01:56:26,960 Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Aaron Rodgers and the Jets being 2501 01:56:27,000 --> 01:56:29,320 Speaker 3: able to get it done. You can see Robert Sala 2502 01:56:29,400 --> 01:56:32,120 Speaker 3: has a little attitude we heard on the commercial when 2503 01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:34,160 Speaker 3: they were talking about the clip of him talking about 2504 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,880 Speaker 3: playing hard and all the F bombs and talking about 2505 01:56:36,920 --> 01:56:39,080 Speaker 3: this team is beyond that. Well, we're gonna see. I 2506 01:56:39,080 --> 01:56:41,800 Speaker 3: think it happened for the first week. The true tests 2507 01:56:41,800 --> 01:56:44,120 Speaker 3: for the Jets will be as they get into it 2508 01:56:44,200 --> 01:56:46,960 Speaker 3: and as the aging Aaron Rodgers has to play in 2509 01:56:47,040 --> 01:56:49,520 Speaker 3: colder weather when he doesn't feel great and the wins 2510 01:56:49,640 --> 01:56:52,320 Speaker 3: in the middletains, I think it becomes different. But I'm 2511 01:56:52,320 --> 01:56:53,560 Speaker 3: gonna go with the Jets in this one. I think 2512 01:56:53,600 --> 01:56:54,879 Speaker 3: they win the opener. 2513 01:56:56,120 --> 01:57:00,280 Speaker 2: Huh like that? I gotta saw m up. I'll tell 2514 01:57:00,280 --> 01:57:02,600 Speaker 2: you right, the run for the Buffalo Bills is done. 2515 01:57:02,880 --> 01:57:05,840 Speaker 2: They're finished. Okay, Yeah, they've hit their peak and now 2516 01:57:05,840 --> 01:57:09,080 Speaker 2: it's downhill for them. No run game, no Von Miller 2517 01:57:09,120 --> 01:57:09,600 Speaker 2: in this game. 2518 01:57:09,720 --> 01:57:09,920 Speaker 5: Right. 2519 01:57:10,160 --> 01:57:12,120 Speaker 2: You look at what they have in New York right now. 2520 01:57:12,280 --> 01:57:15,800 Speaker 2: Running back brist Hall, running back Dalvin Cook, wide receiver, 2521 01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:19,760 Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, momentum, They got everything going for him. 2522 01:57:19,800 --> 01:57:22,920 Speaker 2: The game is in New York. Go to Meadowlands, New Jersey. 2523 01:57:23,280 --> 01:57:25,760 Speaker 2: It's over for the Bills. I promise you that, and 2524 01:57:25,880 --> 01:57:29,600 Speaker 2: really and truly it's gonna happen. Jason Smith's gonna be happy. 2525 01:57:29,720 --> 01:57:33,200 Speaker 2: So that's good for you, right, Jason Smith is because 2526 01:57:33,200 --> 01:57:34,080 Speaker 2: he's insufferable. 2527 01:57:34,880 --> 01:57:38,440 Speaker 5: Well, he declared himself the mayor of Detroit on Friday 2528 01:57:38,760 --> 01:57:42,640 Speaker 5: because he picked the Lions to win a game. I 2529 01:57:42,720 --> 01:57:45,320 Speaker 5: told him about all of the plumbing, and I got 2530 01:57:45,320 --> 01:57:48,880 Speaker 5: a bunch of stats at the reading about infrastructural problems 2531 01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:50,960 Speaker 5: and the fact that you got a lot of rat 2532 01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:53,640 Speaker 5: problems on our rat rankings. They're now up to fourth 2533 01:57:54,240 --> 01:57:58,080 Speaker 5: behind Chicago and New York. And San Francisco. So I 2534 01:57:58,080 --> 01:58:00,400 Speaker 5: mean he's got a lot of infrastructure problems in a 2535 01:58:00,480 --> 01:58:02,800 Speaker 5: winning is only going to cure so much. If you're 2536 01:58:02,960 --> 01:58:04,000 Speaker 5: declaring yourself Mayor. 2537 01:58:04,120 --> 01:58:05,840 Speaker 2: He should have went on the air and said, look, 2538 01:58:05,840 --> 01:58:08,000 Speaker 2: if the Lions win, there's no school for the kids 2539 01:58:08,000 --> 01:58:08,880 Speaker 2: in Detroit Friday. 2540 01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,320 Speaker 5: I like the way you think National Holidays because he 2541 01:58:12,360 --> 01:58:15,480 Speaker 5: actually does vacation in Detroit. Not to make it about him, 2542 01:58:15,760 --> 01:58:18,520 Speaker 5: oh geez, like he lives in southern California, but because 2543 01:58:18,560 --> 01:58:21,560 Speaker 5: his wife's family's from Michigan, somehow he travels back to 2544 01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:25,560 Speaker 5: Detroit for the holidays.

He is the biggest grab 2592 02:00:58,000 --> 02:01:00,520 Speaker 3: bag that we will see, the biggest mischiy the NFL 2593 02:01:00,600 --> 02:01:01,880 Speaker 3: Draft at the quarterback position. 2594 02:01:02,200 --> 02:01:03,400 Speaker 4: We now get a chance. 2595 02:01:03,160 --> 02:01:06,040 Speaker 3: To see him in his debut, and who knows what 2596 02:01:06,080 --> 02:01:07,400 Speaker 3: we're going to see. We're going to see the super 2597 02:01:07,400 --> 02:01:11,080 Speaker 3: athlete everyone has talked about how he blew up the 2598 02:01:11,080 --> 02:01:13,440 Speaker 3: combine and how his numbers and all those measurements and 2599 02:01:13,440 --> 02:01:15,720 Speaker 3: dimensions are better than Cam Newton, but we haven't seen 2600 02:01:15,840 --> 02:01:18,640 Speaker 3: him play to that degree. Now we fast forward put 2601 02:01:18,720 --> 02:01:23,560 Speaker 3: him in the NFL and he starts Week one. This 2602 02:01:23,640 --> 02:01:26,960 Speaker 3: is I mean, this is crazy to imagine a guy 2603 02:01:27,000 --> 02:01:29,680 Speaker 3: with so few stars he's going to start an NFL 2604 02:01:29,800 --> 02:01:31,560 Speaker 3: game and be ready to play. 2605 02:01:31,320 --> 02:01:31,960 Speaker 4: At a high level. 2606 02:01:32,000 --> 02:01:33,640 Speaker 3: But we'll see if Shane styck And can kind of 2607 02:01:33,680 --> 02:01:36,360 Speaker 3: pull a rapit out the hat as a magician. 2608 02:01:36,680 --> 02:01:42,320 Speaker 5: Last opener win for Indianapolis twenty thirteen. They've won the 2609 02:01:42,400 --> 02:01:45,920 Speaker 5: last five matchups against the Jaguars in this building. The 2610 02:01:46,000 --> 02:01:48,800 Speaker 5: roof will be closed. I did get that Twitter update 2611 02:01:49,480 --> 02:01:53,360 Speaker 5: from the Colts and Jim Mersey a little bit earlier, 2612 02:01:54,000 --> 02:01:57,200 Speaker 5: but the Colts favored in the last ten games, this 2613 02:01:57,240 --> 02:02:00,560 Speaker 5: one Jaguars. I've got him going to the super Bowl. 2614 02:02:00,640 --> 02:02:03,320 Speaker 5: So if it goes wrong, people in Jacksonville, send it 2615 02:02:03,360 --> 02:02:08,280 Speaker 5: my way. Five point favorites in this one. Short receiving corps. 2616 02:02:08,360 --> 02:02:11,240 Speaker 5: The running back position a bit of a committee with 2617 02:02:11,280 --> 02:02:13,680 Speaker 5: no Jonathan Taylor, But you know that's one of the 2618 02:02:13,680 --> 02:02:16,640 Speaker 5: great storylines for this week. Bucky is the number of 2619 02:02:16,720 --> 02:02:20,920 Speaker 5: young quarterbacks quarterbacks shuffling that we're doing because it's not 2620 02:02:21,000 --> 02:02:23,120 Speaker 5: like it was you know, you and I and when 2621 02:02:23,120 --> 02:02:24,840 Speaker 5: you were playing. Its like if a guy was there 2622 02:02:25,120 --> 02:02:28,880 Speaker 5: generally if he moved, he was done, or it was 2623 02:02:28,920 --> 02:02:31,600 Speaker 5: obvious on the roster you had the air apparent. It 2624 02:02:31,640 --> 02:02:35,560 Speaker 5: wasn't a let's just go find the next guy or guys, 2625 02:02:35,880 --> 02:02:38,240 Speaker 5: you know, making the choice to move on to greener 2626 02:02:38,280 --> 02:02:42,240 Speaker 5: pastures or change things up. Russell Wilson Aaron Rodgers of 2627 02:02:42,320 --> 02:02:45,280 Speaker 5: Late just a different world. So today I feel like 2628 02:02:45,320 --> 02:02:48,480 Speaker 5: we're we joke about the Christmas feeling right of a 2629 02:02:48,560 --> 02:02:52,800 Speaker 5: Christmas morning run on packages and wrapping paper. But that's 2630 02:02:52,840 --> 02:02:54,480 Speaker 5: kind of what I'm feeling here as we get ready 2631 02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:55,480 Speaker 5: for this week one slate. 2632 02:02:57,160 --> 02:02:57,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, I feel you. 2633 02:02:59,200 --> 02:03:01,000 Speaker 3: Feel on that part of it, like just being really 2634 02:03:01,000 --> 02:03:03,760 Speaker 3: excited about all those things. And the Jaguars are one 2635 02:03:03,800 --> 02:03:05,640 Speaker 3: of many teams that people are excited about in terms 2636 02:03:05,680 --> 02:03:08,160 Speaker 3: of their future and what could happen. But here's what 2637 02:03:08,200 --> 02:03:10,160 Speaker 3: I will say, because the season is such a marathon, 2638 02:03:10,640 --> 02:03:13,560 Speaker 3: you can't overreact to what takes. 2639 02:03:13,400 --> 02:03:15,160 Speaker 4: Place the first few weeks of the season. 2640 02:03:15,840 --> 02:03:19,840 Speaker 3: Depending on how your team approached the preseason, the first 2641 02:03:19,880 --> 02:03:23,360 Speaker 3: four games are an extension of the preseason. Coaches trying 2642 02:03:23,360 --> 02:03:25,360 Speaker 3: to figure out what they have, the team trying to 2643 02:03:25,360 --> 02:03:28,280 Speaker 3: find this own identity, players trying to get comfortable playing 2644 02:03:28,280 --> 02:03:30,720 Speaker 3: with other players, and so there's a lot of stuff 2645 02:03:30,760 --> 02:03:33,160 Speaker 3: that's in play. If you're a team that is a 2646 02:03:33,200 --> 02:03:35,440 Speaker 3: fast starter, though, if you can kind of master that 2647 02:03:35,480 --> 02:03:37,720 Speaker 3: part of it, hit the ground running, jump out to 2648 02:03:37,800 --> 02:03:41,720 Speaker 3: a three and ohero four and oh start, it really 2649 02:03:42,040 --> 02:03:45,360 Speaker 3: gives you a leg up on the competition. But fan bases, 2650 02:03:45,400 --> 02:03:47,200 Speaker 3: you can't overreact. You just want to get to the 2651 02:03:47,280 --> 02:03:49,640 Speaker 3: quarter pole at two and two. You just want to 2652 02:03:49,640 --> 02:03:51,520 Speaker 3: be in the hunt. All you're trying to do is 2653 02:03:51,560 --> 02:03:52,760 Speaker 3: be in the hunt. So when you get to the 2654 02:03:52,840 --> 02:03:56,000 Speaker 3: last half of the season, you now play those meaningful games. 2655 02:03:56,280 --> 02:03:58,760 Speaker 3: You just don't want to lose too much of it 2656 02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:00,440 Speaker 3: in the beginning of the year. You have to have 2657 02:04:00,440 --> 02:04:02,800 Speaker 3: a little patience as your team is trying to find itself. 2658 02:04:03,040 --> 02:04:06,280 Speaker 5: It's the one truism, you know. It became a mantra 2659 02:04:06,440 --> 02:04:09,720 Speaker 5: with me, friends, family, that you know you'd blame whoever 2660 02:04:09,760 --> 02:04:13,200 Speaker 5: the Bears coach was at the time of something perhaps 2661 02:04:13,240 --> 02:04:15,560 Speaker 5: going wrong in your life. And for a while I 2662 02:04:15,600 --> 02:04:18,880 Speaker 5: had some things going on and unfortunately became blame Lovey, 2663 02:04:19,280 --> 02:04:22,600 Speaker 5: but he had the one truism that I always thought 2664 02:04:22,720 --> 02:04:25,400 Speaker 5: was appropriate. Now we had the seventeenth game, but was 2665 02:04:26,040 --> 02:04:29,240 Speaker 5: let's measure it four games at a time and see 2666 02:04:29,240 --> 02:04:32,080 Speaker 5: where we're at, see if we're making progress. Now that's 2667 02:04:32,120 --> 02:04:34,520 Speaker 5: not good enough for the local pundits, and certainly here 2668 02:04:34,880 --> 02:04:37,920 Speaker 5: in the hot take into incubator of sports talk radio 2669 02:04:38,280 --> 02:04:41,920 Speaker 5: and sports television. I mean, because look, after Thursday night's 2670 02:04:41,960 --> 02:04:46,080 Speaker 5: game against Detroit, you would think Kansas City as a team, 2671 02:04:46,400 --> 02:04:48,920 Speaker 5: you can eliminate him from playoff consideration, Like we're in 2672 02:04:48,960 --> 02:04:51,800 Speaker 5: a guillatae league, and since you lost, they have to 2673 02:04:51,880 --> 02:04:53,400 Speaker 5: those players have to be dispersed. 2674 02:04:55,040 --> 02:04:58,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it was survival pool. 2675 02:04:58,680 --> 02:05:03,720 Speaker 4: It would be great. But well let's. 2676 02:05:03,560 --> 02:05:05,320 Speaker 5: Go to that game, you know, just you know, for 2677 02:05:05,360 --> 02:05:08,920 Speaker 5: those that didn't hear your commentary earlier this morning with 2678 02:05:09,080 --> 02:05:11,920 Speaker 5: with Andy Furman, you can read all the Bucky stuff 2679 02:05:12,040 --> 02:05:14,520 Speaker 5: NFL dot com. Of course, follow him on x at 2680 02:05:14,520 --> 02:05:17,720 Speaker 5: Bucky Brooks. But Kadarius Tony, I saw a lot of 2681 02:05:17,720 --> 02:05:20,600 Speaker 5: people taking up for his injuries and and everything else, 2682 02:05:20,640 --> 02:05:23,440 Speaker 5: and I respect that. But you're on the field and 2683 02:05:23,480 --> 02:05:26,400 Speaker 5: the ball hits you in the hands multiple times. You're 2684 02:05:26,400 --> 02:05:28,800 Speaker 5: paid to catch the ball. Even if you fall down, 2685 02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:31,120 Speaker 5: you do the old Peyton Manning. I'm in the pocket 2686 02:05:31,120 --> 02:05:33,880 Speaker 5: and pressure's coming, turtle move. You got to secure the 2687 02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:38,280 Speaker 5: football and get down. And so yes, Detroit won that game. 2688 02:05:38,400 --> 02:05:40,320 Speaker 5: I had to listen to Smith do it Thursday and 2689 02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:45,680 Speaker 5: Friday taking the grand victory laps like, Okay, succeed and proceed. 2690 02:05:45,720 --> 02:05:48,120 Speaker 5: It is a game, and they will get better. But 2691 02:05:48,200 --> 02:05:50,280 Speaker 5: I gotta I gotta think the Chiefs will as well. 2692 02:05:50,560 --> 02:05:53,160 Speaker 5: And if you get Travis Kelce back out on that field, 2693 02:05:53,160 --> 02:05:56,720 Speaker 5: not only is he making a difference as a pass catcher, 2694 02:05:57,040 --> 02:06:02,920 Speaker 5: but everything else opens up and pedestrian and tertiary receivers 2695 02:06:03,160 --> 02:06:06,080 Speaker 5: suddenly become that much more effective because while they're out 2696 02:06:06,120 --> 02:06:07,360 Speaker 5: on an island by themselves. 2697 02:06:08,880 --> 02:06:11,360 Speaker 3: You know, I feel you, and I understand everybody's take 2698 02:06:11,400 --> 02:06:16,000 Speaker 3: on Cadarius Tony. I would just say, like and defensive 2699 02:06:16,080 --> 02:06:18,240 Speaker 3: him a little bit. When you miss all of training 2700 02:06:18,280 --> 02:06:21,520 Speaker 3: camp and you miss most of the preseason, it's like 2701 02:06:21,640 --> 02:06:23,560 Speaker 3: you and I, Mike Harmon, if we're away from the 2702 02:06:23,600 --> 02:06:26,000 Speaker 3: mic for like a month, that first show when you 2703 02:06:26,040 --> 02:06:28,360 Speaker 3: come back, there's some rust to it in terms of 2704 02:06:28,440 --> 02:06:31,120 Speaker 3: just your rhythm, your cadence and those things and so 2705 02:06:31,240 --> 02:06:33,320 Speaker 3: everyone is talking about, yeah, but the ball hit him 2706 02:06:33,320 --> 02:06:35,680 Speaker 3: in his hands. But what happens is if you don't 2707 02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:38,440 Speaker 3: feel right with your legs when you're running, like you're 2708 02:06:38,520 --> 02:06:41,640 Speaker 3: distracted mentally from being able to do the things. I 2709 02:06:41,680 --> 02:06:43,880 Speaker 3: would say it's probably the coach's fault for putting them 2710 02:06:43,920 --> 02:06:46,360 Speaker 3: out there as opposed to him going out there. Because 2711 02:06:46,400 --> 02:06:49,560 Speaker 3: if you only practice Tuesday, did a walk through Wednesday, 2712 02:06:49,640 --> 02:06:52,280 Speaker 3: didn't play it on Thursday, that ain't enough time to 2713 02:06:52,280 --> 02:06:54,120 Speaker 3: get ready to games feed and the game moves so 2714 02:06:54,200 --> 02:06:57,200 Speaker 3: much faster than practice. But he has to catch a 2715 02:06:57,240 --> 02:06:59,560 Speaker 3: ball if he's out there. And that's why when players 2716 02:06:59,760 --> 02:07:02,560 Speaker 3: do noble thing, the courageous thing, like hey, I'm gonna 2717 02:07:02,560 --> 02:07:04,840 Speaker 3: suck it up and play for the team, that's great. 2718 02:07:05,200 --> 02:07:08,480 Speaker 4: But when you play, you judged just like everybody else. 2719 02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:10,920 Speaker 3: We saw it with James Jamis Winston when he played 2720 02:07:10,960 --> 02:07:11,720 Speaker 3: with the broken thumb. 2721 02:07:11,720 --> 02:07:13,000 Speaker 4: We saw it with Dak Prescott. 2722 02:07:13,480 --> 02:07:16,560 Speaker 3: No one cares, and so you have to understand that 2723 02:07:16,680 --> 02:07:19,720 Speaker 3: when you walk in the field, no excuses, no explanations, 2724 02:07:20,000 --> 02:07:22,520 Speaker 3: you are judged because it's the bottom line business. You're 2725 02:07:22,600 --> 02:07:26,040 Speaker 3: judged by your production and your performance, and nobody cares 2726 02:07:26,200 --> 02:07:28,040 Speaker 3: how you derived that production. 2727 02:07:28,200 --> 02:07:31,720 Speaker 5: Well, Josh Allen with the UCL injury last year, right, 2728 02:07:31,840 --> 02:07:35,240 Speaker 5: yes with it. Nobody cares. Philip Rivers played with you know, 2729 02:07:35,440 --> 02:07:39,400 Speaker 5: basically nuct taped together his final couple of years. Doesn't matter. 2730 02:07:39,440 --> 02:07:41,440 Speaker 5: You're on the field, like he started throwing, like he 2731 02:07:41,480 --> 02:07:44,200 Speaker 5: was Dan Quisenberry out there. There you go, showing my 2732 02:07:44,400 --> 02:07:50,440 Speaker 5: age eighties baseball Kansas City Royals reference Babel. But just 2733 02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:53,920 Speaker 5: the idea that you're on the field, right, and when 2734 02:07:53,960 --> 02:07:57,320 Speaker 5: we have to assess it. It's not like someone's giving us, Hey, 2735 02:07:57,320 --> 02:08:00,440 Speaker 5: what's his power bar? Look like he's in a video game. 2736 02:08:00,880 --> 02:08:03,800 Speaker 5: All right, he's playing at twenty percent. Let's get him 2737 02:08:03,840 --> 02:08:05,760 Speaker 5: something so we can power him up. No, you're on 2738 02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:09,720 Speaker 5: the field, so you have to find a way and 2739 02:08:10,120 --> 02:08:12,560 Speaker 5: push on through. Andy Reid and company will be fine. 2740 02:08:12,600 --> 02:08:15,360 Speaker 5: Patrick Mahomes is still your quarterback. And as we mentioned 2741 02:08:15,360 --> 02:08:18,200 Speaker 5: a little bit last hour, think we're in that new 2742 02:08:18,240 --> 02:08:21,080 Speaker 5: age of the NFL.

Let's face it, Andrews has 2755 02:09:02,320 --> 02:09:07,080 Speaker 5: been the offense for Lamar Jackson downfield these last few years, 2756 02:09:07,320 --> 02:09:10,920 Speaker 5: almost exclusively at times. Now you bring another pass catchers, 2757 02:09:10,960 --> 02:09:15,840 Speaker 5: Odell Beckham Junior, you have Zay Flowers, hoping Bateman is 2758 02:09:15,960 --> 02:09:19,720 Speaker 5: more than just a war of words with DaCosta kind 2759 02:09:19,760 --> 02:09:23,080 Speaker 5: of goading him into bringing in more wide receivers and 2760 02:09:23,160 --> 02:09:28,640 Speaker 5: augmenting things. But intrigued by Monkin and what they have offensively, JK. 2761 02:09:28,840 --> 02:09:31,080 Speaker 5: Dobbins going up against what was last year one of 2762 02:09:31,080 --> 02:09:36,160 Speaker 5: the worst run defenses we have seen, but Andrews potentially 2763 02:09:36,200 --> 02:09:39,600 Speaker 5: being out and Lamar Jackson with the over under for 2764 02:09:39,720 --> 02:09:42,920 Speaker 5: the season at twelve and a half thirteen games played. 2765 02:09:42,960 --> 02:09:46,040 Speaker 5: Bucky but it doesn't matter Week one. What can Damiko 2766 02:09:46,120 --> 02:09:48,280 Speaker 5: Ryans do to disrupt this Baltimore offense. 2767 02:09:49,360 --> 02:09:51,600 Speaker 3: He's gonna have to do a lot, because the hard 2768 02:09:51,640 --> 02:09:53,560 Speaker 3: part in game one is you don't know what the 2769 02:09:53,600 --> 02:09:54,760 Speaker 3: opponent really is running. 2770 02:09:55,040 --> 02:09:56,480 Speaker 4: You have their preseason tape. 2771 02:09:56,600 --> 02:09:58,680 Speaker 3: They probably pulled some of the Georgia tape that Todd 2772 02:09:58,720 --> 02:09:59,720 Speaker 3: Monkeys was run to the offense. 2773 02:10:00,000 --> 02:10:00,720 Speaker 4: You just don't know. 2774 02:10:01,080 --> 02:10:04,120 Speaker 3: So the first half you're just trying to assess. The 2775 02:10:04,200 --> 02:10:07,240 Speaker 3: second half you're trying to adapt and then figure out 2776 02:10:07,280 --> 02:10:10,840 Speaker 3: a way to dominate the opponent. For Demiko Ryans, he 2777 02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:12,800 Speaker 3: has to throw some tricks out there. I think you'll 2778 02:10:12,800 --> 02:10:16,080 Speaker 3: see them trying to change the picture. For Lamar Jackson, 2779 02:10:16,120 --> 02:10:18,520 Speaker 3: try and get after him a little bit, maybe with 2780 02:10:18,600 --> 02:10:20,640 Speaker 3: a mix of pressure but a lot of coverage. 2781 02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:22,600 Speaker 4: And you want to keep eyes on the quarterback. 2782 02:10:22,840 --> 02:10:25,840 Speaker 3: If I'm to Houston Texans, I want to kind of 2783 02:10:25,920 --> 02:10:28,240 Speaker 3: challenge Lamar. Okay, you want to throw the ball all 2784 02:10:28,280 --> 02:10:30,560 Speaker 3: over the yard, how about we sit in this zone, 2785 02:10:30,760 --> 02:10:32,800 Speaker 3: We play our eyes on your eyes and see if 2786 02:10:32,840 --> 02:10:36,040 Speaker 3: you really can fit this into tight windows which you're 2787 02:10:36,200 --> 02:10:39,880 Speaker 3: timing and anticipation, and as the game goes on, you 2788 02:10:40,000 --> 02:10:42,160 Speaker 3: then tweak and adjust based on how. 2789 02:10:42,120 --> 02:10:43,240 Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson reacts. 2790 02:10:43,240 --> 02:10:44,840 Speaker 3: That if he comes out hot, okay, then you go 2791 02:10:44,880 --> 02:10:46,280 Speaker 3: to man and man and see if he can handle 2792 02:10:46,280 --> 02:10:48,800 Speaker 3: those things. But if he's struggling in the zone, the 2793 02:10:48,840 --> 02:10:51,440 Speaker 3: old Syracuse two to three zone where he can't hit 2794 02:10:51,480 --> 02:10:53,960 Speaker 3: an outside jump shot, well then you keep making them 2795 02:10:54,000 --> 02:10:56,440 Speaker 3: do it. And I know their wide receiver corps is 2796 02:10:56,560 --> 02:10:59,840 Speaker 3: upgraded from what they had. But this is about Lamar 2797 02:11:00,120 --> 02:11:04,520 Speaker 3: Jackson being the thrower, not the dynamic weapon that he's 2798 02:11:04,520 --> 02:11:07,520 Speaker 3: been in those previous three four five years. It's a 2799 02:11:07,560 --> 02:11:10,680 Speaker 3: different look. Let's see if Lamar Jackson is really ready 2800 02:11:10,680 --> 02:11:11,680 Speaker 3: for what he asked. 2801 02:11:11,440 --> 02:11:15,640 Speaker 5: For forty five and sixteen as a starter, Lamar Jackson 2802 02:11:15,920 --> 02:11:19,520 Speaker 5: get this stat historically, Baltimore forty three and oh as 2803 02:11:19,520 --> 02:11:23,800 Speaker 5: a double digit favorite. You like that. And then just 2804 02:11:23,840 --> 02:11:26,480 Speaker 5: looking from the other side, the Baltimore defense, which we 2805 02:11:26,520 --> 02:11:30,200 Speaker 5: always expect. You know, it's like the Ronco products again 2806 02:11:30,280 --> 02:11:33,360 Speaker 5: showing my age infomercials late at night. Here we are 2807 02:11:33,400 --> 02:11:36,440 Speaker 5: with the rotisserie chicken long before you were buying them 2808 02:11:36,880 --> 02:11:40,840 Speaker 5: as a you know, lost leader at Costco. Is the 2809 02:11:40,880 --> 02:11:43,360 Speaker 5: idea that you know the defense is going to get 2810 02:11:43,400 --> 02:11:48,000 Speaker 5: after it. Well, the Texans already down three offensive linemen. 2811 02:11:48,080 --> 02:11:54,480 Speaker 5: We haven't played a snap. Hmm, long day ahead for 2812 02:11:54,560 --> 02:11:58,760 Speaker 5: the young quarterback and this it could be a difficult one. 2813 02:11:58,840 --> 02:12:01,879 Speaker 5: But you know, I'm curious to see Namiko Ryan scheming 2814 02:12:01,920 --> 02:12:05,200 Speaker 5: it up, what he's able to put together in this one. Bucky, 2815 02:12:05,240 --> 02:12:08,960 Speaker 5: but you know, just Baltimore with a new look. It's 2816 02:12:09,080 --> 02:12:12,520 Speaker 5: the excitement and the shiny new toy syndrome. Let's get 2817 02:12:12,520 --> 02:12:14,960 Speaker 5: one more game in. I know we've we've over the 2818 02:12:15,040 --> 02:12:17,720 Speaker 5: last couple hours. You and Andy previewed a bunch and 2819 02:12:17,760 --> 02:12:20,800 Speaker 5: then we finished the slate last hour. But what's your 2820 02:12:20,880 --> 02:12:23,560 Speaker 5: read on New Orleans as a squad? Bo It's a 2821 02:12:23,600 --> 02:12:27,040 Speaker 5: pretty hype based on what the division looks like. But 2822 02:12:27,080 --> 02:12:28,400 Speaker 5: are you a Derek Carr believer? 2823 02:12:29,600 --> 02:12:32,160 Speaker 4: I don't believe in him. I think he's fine. He's 2824 02:12:32,200 --> 02:12:32,880 Speaker 4: middle of the road. 2825 02:12:33,400 --> 02:12:36,720 Speaker 3: We talk about quarterbacks fifteen sixteen, seventeen eighteen. He's somewhere 2826 02:12:36,720 --> 02:12:39,520 Speaker 3: in there. For me, I need to see what he's 2827 02:12:39,640 --> 02:12:42,120 Speaker 3: like when the pressure's on. He's always been able to 2828 02:12:42,200 --> 02:12:45,160 Speaker 3: kind of hide behind the shield of the Raiders dysfunction. 2829 02:12:45,560 --> 02:12:47,800 Speaker 3: You know, he's never had a team, guys, he doesn't 2830 02:12:47,840 --> 02:12:48,200 Speaker 3: have this. 2831 02:12:48,360 --> 02:12:49,120 Speaker 5: Ever had a defense. 2832 02:12:49,320 --> 02:12:52,320 Speaker 3: Look yeah, oh man, he's battling so hard, but he 2833 02:12:52,440 --> 02:12:55,800 Speaker 3: just doesn't have enough run. Okay, one playoff appearance to 2834 02:12:55,920 --> 02:12:57,240 Speaker 3: maybe two playoff appearances. 2835 02:12:57,240 --> 02:13:00,760 Speaker 4: He didn't play in the first one. But you know, 2836 02:13:00,880 --> 02:13:01,880 Speaker 4: even when we saw. 2837 02:13:01,800 --> 02:13:04,360 Speaker 3: Him in that game against Cincinnati, the veteran quarterback didn't 2838 02:13:04,400 --> 02:13:09,720 Speaker 3: understand situational football. So he is in New Orleans and 2839 02:13:09,760 --> 02:13:14,000 Speaker 3: the expectation is that he needs to be Drew brees light, 2840 02:13:14,680 --> 02:13:16,560 Speaker 3: meaning he needs to play at a high level get 2841 02:13:16,600 --> 02:13:18,800 Speaker 3: this team going at the right pace. 2842 02:13:19,200 --> 02:13:20,280 Speaker 4: I don't know if he can do it. 2843 02:13:20,400 --> 02:13:22,520 Speaker 3: The weapons are there, the veteran leadership is there. This 2844 02:13:22,560 --> 02:13:25,120 Speaker 3: team is an older team, so they should kind of 2845 02:13:25,440 --> 02:13:28,240 Speaker 3: reign over the division. I just don't know if Derek 2846 02:13:28,280 --> 02:13:30,200 Speaker 3: Carr is good enough to take them to the great 2847 02:13:30,280 --> 02:13:31,360 Speaker 3: level that they want to be. 2848 02:13:31,600 --> 02:13:34,160 Speaker 5: I do know that he is yoked, and for the 2849 02:13:34,160 --> 02:13:35,840 Speaker 5: first three weeks we'll see it off. A lot of 2850 02:13:35,920 --> 02:13:39,720 Speaker 5: Jamal Williams in your backfield rolling forward for the New 2851 02:13:39,800 --> 02:13:41,760 Speaker 5: Orleans cents. I'm taking Tennessee on the road to win 2852 02:13:41,800 --> 02:13:45,120 Speaker 5: this game out right, by the way. I mean, because look, 2853 02:13:45,320 --> 02:13:47,840 Speaker 5: if I got to do the either or, I think 2854 02:13:47,880 --> 02:13:52,680 Speaker 5: I'd rather have Ryan Tannehill than Derek Carr. I mean, 2855 02:13:52,920 --> 02:13:55,800 Speaker 5: I know that's not exactly picking, you know, from the 2856 02:13:56,120 --> 02:13:58,920 Speaker 5: best of the lot, but if we're talking middling quarterbacks, 2857 02:13:59,800 --> 02:14:03,920 Speaker 5: I'll take Verabel and company with Derrick Henry still running 2858 02:14:03,960 --> 02:14:07,040 Speaker 5: the football and bringing in DeAndre Hopkins and Treylon Burke 2859 02:14:07,080 --> 02:14:10,160 Speaker 5: spokes to play how well and how much you'll be 2860 02:14:10,200 --> 02:14:12,840 Speaker 5: able to give them a go? You know, we at 2861 02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:17,280 Speaker 5: least have that back in the mix after the preseason injury. 2862 02:14:17,440 --> 02:14:21,720 Speaker 5: So curious times, no question about it. A lot of 2863 02:14:21,880 --> 02:14:26,560 Speaker 5: uncertainty for squads, but hope Springs Eternal will continue with 2864 02:14:26,680 --> 02:14:30,600 Speaker 5: Week one of the NFL. Get a little deeper into 2865 02:14:30,640 --> 02:14:34,600 Speaker 5: that San Francisco Pittsburgh matchup, because you know Brock Perdy 2866 02:14:34,720 --> 02:14:37,680 Speaker 5: has been deified. They built a statue to the guy 2867 02:14:37,720 --> 02:14:40,680 Speaker 5: over a very short run in twenty twenty two. I 2868 02:14:40,800 --> 02:14:43,600 Speaker 5: might be tearing it down, and I might do it 2869 02:14:43,680 --> 02:14:47,560 Speaker 5: next year alongside Bucky Brooks. I'm by Carmen Fox Football, Son. 2870 02:14:47,600 --> 02:14:50,200 Speaker 5: That's what's called teas of the business. You want to 2871 02:14:50,240 --> 02:14:54,480 Speaker 5: crowd them, crowd them, but I'm taking the crown off 2872 02:14:54,480 --> 02:14:56,440 Speaker 5: his head, putting it on my own. Next here on 2873 02:14:56,520 --> 02:15:01,680 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio, Welcome Back in Fox Football Sunday, Fox 2874 02:15:01,720 --> 02:15:05,640 Speaker 5: Sports Radio Mike Harmon alongside Bucky Brooks with you five 2875 02:15:05,720 --> 02:15:10,880 Speaker 5: BUCkies work NFL dot Com Jaguars. It's part of their 2876 02:15:10,960 --> 02:15:14,960 Speaker 5: coverage later on today as they face the Indianapolis Colts. 2877 02:15:15,000 --> 02:15:17,920 Speaker 5: A little divisional action right off the jump, A five 2878 02:15:18,000 --> 02:15:21,040 Speaker 5: point road favorite of course, with us every week on 2879 02:15:21,160 --> 02:15:25,040 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio, CMFs one, NFL network. He's everywhere and 2880 02:15:25,080 --> 02:15:27,520 Speaker 5: he's coaching on the sidelines as well. How's the season 2881 02:15:27,560 --> 02:15:28,920 Speaker 5: flowing for you so far? Coach? 2882 02:15:30,680 --> 02:15:31,360 Speaker 4: Going pretty well? 2883 02:15:31,440 --> 02:15:33,880 Speaker 3: Right now, we're sitting at two to one and one, 2884 02:15:34,240 --> 02:15:36,440 Speaker 3: but we're beginning to kind of find our identity, find 2885 02:15:36,480 --> 02:15:38,520 Speaker 3: our sales. Got one week before the bye week, and 2886 02:15:38,520 --> 02:15:40,720 Speaker 3: so we get a chance to see where we're at 2887 02:15:40,720 --> 02:15:42,400 Speaker 3: a bye week, make some adjustments, see if we can 2888 02:15:42,400 --> 02:15:42,920 Speaker 3: finish strong. 2889 02:15:43,080 --> 02:15:45,000 Speaker 5: Talked about it a lot last year. I mean, how 2890 02:15:45,040 --> 02:15:47,280 Speaker 5: many forward passes have we implemented this year? 2891 02:15:48,720 --> 02:15:52,920 Speaker 3: Okay, so we've had been averaging three passes a game 2892 02:15:53,120 --> 02:15:56,640 Speaker 3: prior to last week, but unfortunately my quarterback got hurt 2893 02:15:56,920 --> 02:15:59,280 Speaker 3: in this game, so we didn't have an opportunity to thought. 2894 02:15:59,160 --> 02:16:01,680 Speaker 4: Pass this week. See next week. If one of our 2895 02:16:01,720 --> 02:16:03,480 Speaker 4: other guys can you don't get the ball thrown. 2896 02:16:03,680 --> 02:16:08,160 Speaker 5: I bring that up only because winning football is winning football. Buggy, Right, 2897 02:16:08,440 --> 02:16:11,240 Speaker 5: If I do something, well, you have to stop me, right, 2898 02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:15,240 Speaker 5: Remember everybody made fun of the that Patriots Bills game. 2899 02:16:15,840 --> 02:16:19,800 Speaker 5: If it's winning football, it doesn't matter. I don't care 2900 02:16:19,840 --> 02:16:22,400 Speaker 5: about the gaudy statistics. The only guy that would care 2901 02:16:22,440 --> 02:16:25,440 Speaker 5: is if they've got an incentive in their contract otherwise 2902 02:16:25,920 --> 02:16:30,320 Speaker 5: succeed and proceed maybe, Yeah, you. 2903 02:16:30,240 --> 02:16:31,840 Speaker 4: Do whatever you have to do to win. And so 2904 02:16:31,920 --> 02:16:34,920 Speaker 4: that's what's so fun about the games starting this week. 2905 02:16:34,959 --> 02:16:36,760 Speaker 3: We've had a couple of weeks of college to kind 2906 02:16:36,760 --> 02:16:39,840 Speaker 3: of set the appetizer right, kind of wet a appetite, 2907 02:16:39,920 --> 02:16:41,560 Speaker 3: but now it's time for the main course. 2908 02:16:41,600 --> 02:16:44,800 Speaker 4: In the NFL is always the main course. This should 2909 02:16:44,800 --> 02:16:45,400 Speaker 4: be a lot of fun. 2910 02:16:45,520 --> 02:16:47,760 Speaker 5: Yeah, so many games where you look at them and 2911 02:16:47,760 --> 02:16:49,039 Speaker 5: you're like, all, I think, I know how this is 2912 02:16:49,040 --> 02:16:51,360 Speaker 5: going to work. But as we know, the NFL is 2913 02:16:51,360 --> 02:16:54,160 Speaker 5: the greatest throw ride you have outside of insert your 2914 02:16:54,160 --> 02:16:58,280 Speaker 5: favorite theme park and roller coaster here. And you know 2915 02:16:58,360 --> 02:17:01,160 Speaker 5: that one of the games on the slate for this week, 2916 02:17:01,320 --> 02:17:03,520 Speaker 5: and we already have another of our big tight ends. 2917 02:17:03,560 --> 02:17:07,279 Speaker 5: So fantasy football wise, folks have just absolutely been hating 2918 02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:10,320 Speaker 5: life because the tight end position was already a mess 2919 02:17:11,040 --> 02:17:16,080 Speaker 5: coming in last I joked with Smith on Thursday Night, Right, 2920 02:17:16,160 --> 02:17:19,440 Speaker 5: Noah Gray has got to step in for Travis Kelcey. 2921 02:17:19,480 --> 02:17:23,199 Speaker 5: He finishes with what would be six point one Fantasy points. 2922 02:17:23,560 --> 02:17:25,600 Speaker 5: Like you know, if you extrapolated that over a course 2923 02:17:25,640 --> 02:17:27,640 Speaker 5: of a full season last year, that would have ranked 2924 02:17:27,720 --> 02:17:31,640 Speaker 5: him seventh among scoring tight ends. So you are talking 2925 02:17:31,640 --> 02:17:35,280 Speaker 5: about a top heavy position. So Andrews probably not gonna 2926 02:17:35,280 --> 02:17:37,800 Speaker 5: go for Baltimore. We already had Kelsey out and now 2927 02:17:37,840 --> 02:17:42,840 Speaker 5: George Kittles on the injury report quote expecting Slash hoping 2928 02:17:43,040 --> 02:17:46,560 Speaker 5: to play later today. As San Francisco plays at Pittsburgh, 2929 02:17:46,600 --> 02:17:49,400 Speaker 5: they're two or two and a half point favorites, depending 2930 02:17:49,440 --> 02:17:51,920 Speaker 5: on where you're shopping the over under in this one 2931 02:17:52,160 --> 02:17:56,560 Speaker 5: forty one defensive battle, Nick Bosa, I don't think the 2932 02:17:56,560 --> 02:17:59,959 Speaker 5: weight of his wallet will affect his play here. He'll 2933 02:18:00,120 --> 02:18:02,600 Speaker 5: jump in, he'll be ready to go. On the other side, 2934 02:18:02,600 --> 02:18:04,480 Speaker 5: we got TJ. Watt. You got two of the best 2935 02:18:04,480 --> 02:18:09,160 Speaker 5: defensive players in the game. But all the celebration, deification 2936 02:18:09,600 --> 02:18:12,400 Speaker 5: and lauding of Brock Purdy, look I like the guy 2937 02:18:12,720 --> 02:18:14,920 Speaker 5: you know coming in into the league when he got 2938 02:18:14,920 --> 02:18:17,959 Speaker 5: that many starts in contrast to some of these young players, 2939 02:18:18,200 --> 02:18:20,600 Speaker 5: like You're gonna watch a little later with Anthony Richardson, 2940 02:18:20,800 --> 02:18:25,240 Speaker 5: where we have this at least a full resume, right, 2941 02:18:25,280 --> 02:18:28,160 Speaker 5: the CV has enough data points. You're going all right? 2942 02:18:28,160 --> 02:18:29,960 Speaker 5: I think I know what I got here. Five and 2943 02:18:30,040 --> 02:18:33,480 Speaker 5: zero last year, thirteen touchdowns, four picks, but coming off 2944 02:18:33,520 --> 02:18:36,879 Speaker 5: a big injury and going up against what is perennially 2945 02:18:36,920 --> 02:18:41,119 Speaker 5: one of the best pass rushes in the game, strike 2946 02:18:41,160 --> 02:18:43,879 Speaker 5: me as a guy that, given the health concerns of 2947 02:18:43,959 --> 02:18:47,440 Speaker 5: many of their key component parts, San Francisco is one 2948 02:18:47,480 --> 02:18:51,960 Speaker 5: of those teams that I short on the season, despite 2949 02:18:52,000 --> 02:18:54,640 Speaker 5: whatever the NFC's got going on, and where there might 2950 02:18:54,680 --> 02:18:57,040 Speaker 5: be lack of depth, Bucky. And for this one against 2951 02:18:57,080 --> 02:19:00,840 Speaker 5: Pittsburgh on the road, I'll take Pittsburgh with Najie Harris 2952 02:19:00,879 --> 02:19:03,840 Speaker 5: and Jalen Warren getting a split and that Kenny Picktt 2953 02:19:03,840 --> 02:19:04,840 Speaker 5: takes a step forward. 2954 02:19:06,600 --> 02:19:08,320 Speaker 4: I like the Steelers. 2955 02:19:09,000 --> 02:19:12,720 Speaker 3: And before you came on, I talked to Andy Ferman 2956 02:19:12,760 --> 02:19:15,039 Speaker 3: about the Cleveland Browns being a team that I believe 2957 02:19:15,400 --> 02:19:18,080 Speaker 3: could be the class of the division. But the reason 2958 02:19:18,120 --> 02:19:20,600 Speaker 3: I say that is that this is a jumble. All 2959 02:19:20,640 --> 02:19:23,840 Speaker 3: these teams are close, and Pittsburgh could just easily surpass 2960 02:19:23,920 --> 02:19:25,720 Speaker 3: the Browns and the Bengals and the Ravens as the 2961 02:19:25,720 --> 02:19:28,600 Speaker 3: top team. I like the Stillers because last year the 2962 02:19:28,600 --> 02:19:31,480 Speaker 3: way they finished, that young team finishing the way they did, 2963 02:19:31,560 --> 02:19:33,400 Speaker 3: being able to finish with a winning record, being able 2964 02:19:33,440 --> 02:19:35,520 Speaker 3: to get that experience in terms of learning how to 2965 02:19:35,560 --> 02:19:38,680 Speaker 3: close out games was critical. I like Kenny Pickett kind 2966 02:19:38,680 --> 02:19:41,520 Speaker 3: of stepping into the big stage at the end of 2967 02:19:41,520 --> 02:19:44,120 Speaker 3: the year and playing better. I like George Pickens and 2968 02:19:44,160 --> 02:19:47,600 Speaker 3: Deontay Johnson on the outside. George Pickens may be emerging 2969 02:19:47,640 --> 02:19:50,480 Speaker 3: as a star in that passing game to go with 2970 02:19:50,600 --> 02:19:52,800 Speaker 3: Naja Harris, who can anchor the running game but also 2971 02:19:52,840 --> 02:19:55,240 Speaker 3: give them that. But then the Stellers are back to 2972 02:19:55,280 --> 02:19:58,200 Speaker 3: playing still a football on defense. If this team plays 2973 02:19:58,240 --> 02:20:01,040 Speaker 3: at a top five level on defense, they're solid and 2974 02:20:01,080 --> 02:20:04,120 Speaker 3: balance on offense, They're gonna be problematic for opponents in 2975 02:20:04,160 --> 02:20:07,359 Speaker 3: the AFC. So what you're talking about with the Steelers, 2976 02:20:07,360 --> 02:20:09,160 Speaker 3: I'm all on board. This is a team that is 2977 02:20:09,160 --> 02:20:12,200 Speaker 3: a rock'm soccer robot team. And make no mistake, when 2978 02:20:12,280 --> 02:20:15,360 Speaker 3: Mike Tomlin put out that quote that everyone has talked about, Hey, 2979 02:20:15,400 --> 02:20:18,080 Speaker 3: before you box, you got a spar he was gearing 2980 02:20:18,120 --> 02:20:20,600 Speaker 3: his team up to deal with the physicality and the 2981 02:20:20,640 --> 02:20:23,640 Speaker 3: toughness of the forty nine ers. The forty nine ers 2982 02:20:23,680 --> 02:20:26,800 Speaker 3: prioritize physicality over everything. 2983 02:20:26,560 --> 02:20:28,959 Speaker 4: And so he was ratying his team to do that. 2984 02:20:29,080 --> 02:20:30,440 Speaker 4: Today is that. 2985 02:20:30,760 --> 02:20:33,920 Speaker 3: Initial test, that pop quiz when we start college, just 2986 02:20:33,959 --> 02:20:36,080 Speaker 3: to see where his young team fits. He wants to 2987 02:20:36,080 --> 02:20:37,600 Speaker 3: see if they're ready to go toe to toe with 2988 02:20:37,640 --> 02:20:39,920 Speaker 3: the heavyweights. If they can go toe to toe with 2989 02:20:39,959 --> 02:20:41,880 Speaker 3: the niners, he's gonna feel great about the way he 2990 02:20:41,879 --> 02:20:43,440 Speaker 3: could look for his team the rest of the season. 2991 02:20:43,600 --> 02:20:45,920 Speaker 5: I dig that you brought in a little Nick Saban 2992 02:20:46,000 --> 02:20:50,320 Speaker 5: licking his wounds after the mid term lost to test yesterday, 2993 02:20:50,560 --> 02:20:52,760 Speaker 5: because that was his quote the post game. Look at 2994 02:20:52,760 --> 02:20:55,320 Speaker 5: you wait to bring it all together here out of 2995 02:20:55,400 --> 02:20:58,680 Speaker 5: Fox Football Sunday. All right. I give you this stat 2996 02:20:59,440 --> 02:21:03,039 Speaker 5: because it'll inform the next part of the conversation because 2997 02:21:03,040 --> 02:21:05,480 Speaker 5: we're going to go to that battle in the AFC 2998 02:21:05,520 --> 02:21:08,960 Speaker 5: North in a second. Underdogs in Week one over the 2999 02:21:09,080 --> 02:21:13,640 Speaker 5: last ten years, nearly fifty six percent against the spreads, 3000 02:21:14,320 --> 02:21:18,120 Speaker 5: and this one that'll lead into that next conversation. Divisional 3001 02:21:18,200 --> 02:21:24,080 Speaker 5: dogs thirty five fifteen and one against the spread. That's 3002 02:21:24,080 --> 02:21:29,040 Speaker 5: a robust seventy percent home or away. So with that 3003 02:21:29,400 --> 02:21:33,039 Speaker 5: marinating in your mind, we'll talk Cleveland and Cincinnati in 3004 02:21:33,040 --> 02:21:35,560 Speaker 5: a moment. First, let's go over to our man, Isaac 3005 02:21:35,959 --> 02:21:38,320 Speaker 5: loewen Kron, one of the busiest men I know. He 3006 02:21:38,400 --> 02:21:42,080 Speaker 5: might have as many things on the CV and time 3007 02:21:42,200 --> 02:21:46,000 Speaker 5: management skills like you, Bucky Brooks at Isaac Loancron where 3008 02:21:46,040 --> 02:21:46,880 Speaker 5: you find him on Twitter. 3009 02:21:46,879 --> 02:21:49,640 Speaker 16: Heyboddy Ah, thank you for that very nice introduction.

We start with a report by 3012 02:21:55,560 --> 02:21:59,800 Speaker 16: USA Today which reports that Michigan State University is investigating 3013 02:21:59,840 --> 02:22:04,039 Speaker 16: us sexual harassment accusation against head football coach Mel Tucker. 3014 02:22:04,320 --> 02:22:07,520 Speaker 16: The accusation is being made by Brenda Tracy, a rape 3015 02:22:07,520 --> 02:22:11,840 Speaker 16: survivor who works to educate athletes about sexual violence.

I am not 3022 02:22:35,000 --> 02:22:37,360 Speaker 16: proud of my judgment, but I did not engage in 3023 02:22:37,440 --> 02:22:42,080 Speaker 16: misconduct by any definition unquote on the field.

I 3067 02:25:07,640 --> 02:25:10,080 Speaker 5: think we'll see that you don't depend on him to 3068 02:25:10,120 --> 02:25:14,440 Speaker 5: catch eighty balls again, not that he's incapable of making 3069 02:25:14,480 --> 02:25:17,200 Speaker 5: some plays as a receiver, but we talked north south. 3070 02:25:17,920 --> 02:25:21,400 Speaker 5: But Cleveland folks starting to jump on this bandwagon a 3071 02:25:21,400 --> 02:25:25,080 Speaker 5: little bit here, Bucky in week one, a great opportunity. 3072 02:25:25,120 --> 02:25:28,119 Speaker 5: They've had great success against Joe Burrow in the past 3073 02:25:28,360 --> 02:25:30,200 Speaker 5: and he's coming in at less than one hundred percent. 3074 02:25:32,720 --> 02:25:33,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, this is funny. 3075 02:25:34,800 --> 02:25:39,080 Speaker 3: The robbery Cincinnati, Cleveland, Cincinnati being so dismissive of Cleveland. 3076 02:25:39,160 --> 02:25:42,520 Speaker 3: Jamar Chase, I'm sure people saw there, saw his comments 3077 02:25:42,879 --> 02:25:43,840 Speaker 3: that kind of went viral. 3078 02:25:44,160 --> 02:25:45,000 Speaker 4: The Cleveland Browns. 3079 02:25:45,000 --> 02:25:47,320 Speaker 3: To me, no one has really talked about Jim Schwartz 3080 02:25:47,400 --> 02:25:50,000 Speaker 3: taken over the defense, and you may not like him 3081 02:25:50,000 --> 02:25:51,880 Speaker 3: because of the ar against and stuff that he kind 3082 02:25:51,920 --> 02:25:53,640 Speaker 3: of displays when he's been a head coach and some 3083 02:25:53,680 --> 02:25:56,879 Speaker 3: of those other things. You can't deny his ability to get. 3084 02:25:56,760 --> 02:25:58,199 Speaker 4: A defense to play at a high level. 3085 02:25:58,360 --> 02:26:00,720 Speaker 3: Did it at Tennessee, He's done it in Philadelphia as 3086 02:26:00,760 --> 02:26:01,680 Speaker 3: a Super Bowl winner. 3087 02:26:01,920 --> 02:26:02,959 Speaker 4: He knows what he's doing. 3088 02:26:03,200 --> 02:26:05,360 Speaker 3: He has a Darius Smith and Miles Garrett as two 3089 02:26:06,040 --> 02:26:09,640 Speaker 3: toys to play with as pass rushers. Secondary, he can 3090 02:26:09,680 --> 02:26:11,520 Speaker 3: line up and play man to man. He wants to 3091 02:26:11,520 --> 02:26:15,200 Speaker 3: bring five on every down. This offense is going to 3092 02:26:15,240 --> 02:26:18,680 Speaker 3: score points. Deshaun Watson will play better because he's the 3093 02:26:18,680 --> 02:26:20,360 Speaker 3: second year of Kevin Stefanski system. 3094 02:26:20,400 --> 02:26:21,800 Speaker 4: He's been a top five quarterback. 3095 02:26:22,080 --> 02:26:24,040 Speaker 3: He has put all of that stuff in the past 3096 02:26:24,160 --> 02:26:26,680 Speaker 3: because they had a full offseason to knock off the RUSS. 3097 02:26:27,000 --> 02:26:28,840 Speaker 4: To me, this is a team that is kind of 3098 02:26:28,879 --> 02:26:30,200 Speaker 4: like a sleeping giant. 3099 02:26:30,440 --> 02:26:33,040 Speaker 3: If they get out to a fast start this season, 3100 02:26:33,600 --> 02:26:36,320 Speaker 3: Kevin Stefanski and this team can build into being a 3101 02:26:36,440 --> 02:26:37,480 Speaker 3: monster down the stretch. 3102 02:26:37,680 --> 02:26:39,600 Speaker 4: This is a really good team. I'm excited to see 3103 02:26:39,640 --> 02:26:40,879 Speaker 4: what they do today against since. 3104 02:26:40,680 --> 02:26:43,560 Speaker 5: It it's funny you mentioned Schwartz and he's just the 3105 02:26:43,640 --> 02:26:47,040 Speaker 5: latest and a great number of coaches we've seen through 3106 02:26:47,080 --> 02:26:50,200 Speaker 5: the years. It's okay to just be really good as 3107 02:26:50,200 --> 02:26:54,400 Speaker 5: a coordinator and just not have the temperament or anything 3108 02:26:54,400 --> 02:26:56,480 Speaker 5: to go through as a head coach. Now, one of 3109 02:26:56,480 --> 02:26:58,520 Speaker 5: the guys that always gets brought up on that list 3110 02:26:58,600 --> 02:27:01,000 Speaker 5: is Wade Phillips, who I remind for actually had success 3111 02:27:01,040 --> 02:27:03,360 Speaker 5: as a head coach. He just wasn't you know, a 3112 02:27:03,400 --> 02:27:07,040 Speaker 5: sexy head coach right in terms of how things played out, 3113 02:27:07,120 --> 02:27:10,039 Speaker 5: because well, the defense led the way for him. But 3114 02:27:10,560 --> 02:27:13,920 Speaker 5: you know, guys like him, Norv Turner going back a 3115 02:27:14,040 --> 02:27:17,200 Speaker 5: little ways here for those that have been around and 3116 02:27:17,280 --> 02:27:20,600 Speaker 5: watching the NFL, while there's a number of guys that look, 3117 02:27:20,720 --> 02:27:23,600 Speaker 5: sometimes you just get to that level where you dominate 3118 02:27:23,640 --> 02:27:25,520 Speaker 5: and then you have to start adding all these other 3119 02:27:25,600 --> 02:27:27,640 Speaker 5: responsibilities and it spreads your too thin. 3120 02:27:29,480 --> 02:27:31,760 Speaker 3: There's a lot of truth to that because being a 3121 02:27:31,760 --> 02:27:34,279 Speaker 3: head coach is so much different than being a offensive 3122 02:27:34,440 --> 02:27:37,600 Speaker 3: or defensive coordinator. You're dealing with one unit the head coach, 3123 02:27:37,600 --> 02:27:39,920 Speaker 3: and not only dealing with all three units offense, defense, 3124 02:27:39,959 --> 02:27:42,760 Speaker 3: special teams. You're dealing with time management, you're dealing with 3125 02:27:42,800 --> 02:27:45,959 Speaker 3: situational awareness, You're dealing with issues that go up top. 3126 02:27:45,840 --> 02:27:47,000 Speaker 4: When it comes to personnel. 3127 02:27:47,520 --> 02:27:51,040 Speaker 3: So much more than just a I'm gonna call the game, 3128 02:27:51,040 --> 02:27:53,320 Speaker 3: make sure my guys are in place and we play fast, 3129 02:27:53,320 --> 02:27:55,600 Speaker 3: and we knocked people out. It's a different hustle, and 3130 02:27:55,640 --> 02:27:58,200 Speaker 3: some people are just built to keep it really simple 3131 02:27:58,360 --> 02:28:02,120 Speaker 3: like that. And Jim Swartz might that despite his intellect 3132 02:28:02,160 --> 02:28:04,760 Speaker 3: and those things, he might just be better saying, Hey, 3133 02:28:04,800 --> 02:28:06,520 Speaker 3: give me the unit. I'll figure out how to get 3134 02:28:06,520 --> 02:28:07,360 Speaker 3: this team to play well. 3135 02:28:07,640 --> 02:28:10,560 Speaker 5: He's Bucky Brooks on Mike Carmen here, Fox Football Sunday, 3136 02:28:10,600 --> 02:28:13,279 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio.

McLaurin expected to go. 3146 02:28:40,720 --> 02:28:44,200 Speaker 5: You've got Dotson, You've got Logan Thomas, who I would 3147 02:28:44,240 --> 02:28:47,600 Speaker 5: hang a huge star on for your fantasy fortunes for 3148 02:28:47,640 --> 02:28:51,160 Speaker 5: this week. You got two guys in the backfield in 3149 02:28:51,280 --> 02:28:54,120 Speaker 5: Gibson and Robinson that have quit himself well, and you 3150 02:28:54,200 --> 02:28:56,600 Speaker 5: get it put on the plate for you as a 3151 02:28:56,640 --> 02:29:01,600 Speaker 5: seven point favorite with Arizona coming in here. The last 3152 02:29:01,640 --> 02:29:04,800 Speaker 5: time that Washington was favored by at least a touchdown 3153 02:29:04,840 --> 02:29:10,760 Speaker 5: Bucky was twenty seventeen. M how about that. 3154 02:29:10,760 --> 02:29:11,640 Speaker 4: That's a long time. 3155 02:29:11,920 --> 02:29:14,800 Speaker 5: But what are you expecting this offense to look like 3156 02:29:15,600 --> 02:29:18,520 Speaker 5: under the enemy here, Sam Howell. I think as soon 3157 02:29:18,520 --> 02:29:21,000 Speaker 5: as Ron Rivera said the quote, if I knew what 3158 02:29:21,080 --> 02:29:23,400 Speaker 5: I had, he would have been starting right as soon 3159 02:29:23,440 --> 02:29:26,440 Speaker 5: as that gets out. In addition to everything else you've said, 3160 02:29:26,959 --> 02:29:28,720 Speaker 5: I think I would have given him a paint slip 3161 02:29:28,760 --> 02:29:32,720 Speaker 5: and said you're done, Eric b enemy, congratulations, here's your chance. 3162 02:29:33,640 --> 02:29:34,480 Speaker 5: I'm done with it. 3163 02:29:35,040 --> 02:29:37,680 Speaker 3: He's had so many egregious errors as a head coach 3164 02:29:37,720 --> 02:29:39,960 Speaker 3: when it comes to like little stuff that you might 3165 02:29:40,000 --> 02:29:42,400 Speaker 3: think but please don't say like you may think that, 3166 02:29:42,440 --> 02:29:43,280 Speaker 3: but please don't say it. 3167 02:29:43,560 --> 02:29:44,920 Speaker 4: What utter debt? You know? 3168 02:29:45,160 --> 02:29:45,440 Speaker 5: Right? 3169 02:29:45,480 --> 02:29:48,199 Speaker 3: And so now everyone is looking particularly if Sam Howell 3170 02:29:48,240 --> 02:29:50,520 Speaker 3: goes out and plays great. Let's just say he plays 3171 02:29:50,520 --> 02:29:52,520 Speaker 3: great this week, coming off the heels of having a 3172 02:29:52,560 --> 02:29:55,320 Speaker 3: solid performance at the end of last year.

Tada, 3182 02:30:20,800 --> 02:30:24,280 Speaker 5: I'm a squatter and I'm taking over your offensive coordinator role. 3183 02:30:25,200 --> 02:30:27,120 Speaker 5: Like there's a communication with it. 3184 02:30:28,520 --> 02:30:32,200 Speaker 4: It's like, ahaa, yeah, you didn't know what you were hiring. 3185 02:30:32,280 --> 02:30:33,360 Speaker 4: You don't know what you're getting. 3186 02:30:33,400 --> 02:30:35,720 Speaker 3: Like all of it is stupid, and it just it 3187 02:30:36,280 --> 02:30:38,400 Speaker 3: just puts him in a poor light as a leader, 3188 02:30:39,000 --> 02:30:41,080 Speaker 3: as a head coach.

We will find out 3234 02:33:08,560 --> 02:33:10,760 Speaker 5: early is this one that Tampa can go and steal 3235 02:33:10,800 --> 02:33:11,320 Speaker 5: in weak one? 3236 02:33:12,760 --> 02:33:14,240 Speaker 4: They can because their experience. 3237 02:33:15,120 --> 02:33:17,680 Speaker 3: They can because Minnesota is also breaking in a new 3238 02:33:17,680 --> 02:33:20,520 Speaker 3: defensive coordinator in Brian Floydes, which could you know, compose 3239 02:33:20,560 --> 02:33:26,680 Speaker 3: some problems a little bit. This is one where Minnesota 3240 02:33:26,760 --> 02:33:29,360 Speaker 3: quickly could find out what they're missing in Dalvin Cook. 3241 02:33:30,080 --> 02:33:32,280 Speaker 3: I like what you said about Alexander Madison. I don't 3242 02:33:32,320 --> 02:33:34,320 Speaker 3: know if he can tote the load. There's some guys 3243 02:33:34,320 --> 02:33:36,200 Speaker 3: that are great and flashes, but then when you get 3244 02:33:36,240 --> 02:33:38,520 Speaker 3: him a full dose, they're not the same guy. 3245 02:33:38,720 --> 02:33:39,720 Speaker 4: And so we need to see that. 3246 02:33:40,120 --> 02:33:43,080 Speaker 3: Tampa on the road, Ty Bowles trying to get He's 3247 02:33:43,120 --> 02:33:45,200 Speaker 3: trying to reestablish his credibility. There are a lot of 3248 02:33:45,240 --> 02:33:47,119 Speaker 3: people that are looking at them sideways in the locker room. 3249 02:33:47,160 --> 02:33:49,440 Speaker 3: He takes over, this team falls apart. Can't he bring 3250 02:33:49,520 --> 02:33:51,680 Speaker 3: this team back? This is one where they had to 3251 02:33:51,680 --> 02:33:53,280 Speaker 3: put a lot of emphasis on a man. Let's re 3252 02:33:53,440 --> 02:33:56,120 Speaker 3: establish who we are in the brand, and that means 3253 02:33:56,360 --> 02:33:59,040 Speaker 3: they got to reestablish that defense. I mean, I wouldn't 3254 02:33:59,040 --> 02:34:01,480 Speaker 3: be surprised to see Tampa Bay knock the Vikings off 3255 02:34:01,480 --> 02:34:02,040 Speaker 3: on this one. 3256 02:34:02,080 --> 02:34:04,720 Speaker 5: Plus five and a half on the Road gave you 3257 02:34:04,760 --> 02:34:08,960 Speaker 5: all the stats about the underdogs week one coming in 3258 02:34:09,000 --> 02:34:12,400 Speaker 5: at a fifty six percent clip against the number over 3259 02:34:12,440 --> 02:34:15,760 Speaker 5: the last decade. You'll have more, I'm sure on countdown 3260 02:34:15,800 --> 02:34:19,240 Speaker 5: to kick off with that stat and permutations thereof as 3261 02:34:19,280 --> 02:34:21,840 Speaker 5: the guys get you ready for Week one in Earnest 3262 02:34:21,879 --> 02:34:25,040 Speaker 5: brought to you by Progressive Insurance.

Maybe you're at the store, 3269 02:34:43,879 --> 02:34:48,720 Speaker 5: getting ready for whatever your home tail gate becomes and gatherings. 3270 02:34:48,720 --> 02:34:51,920 Speaker 5: We appreciate you making us part of your Sunday morning. 3271 02:34:51,920 --> 02:34:56,280 Speaker 5: It's something we take lightly at all, and likewise, well, 3272 02:34:56,320 --> 02:34:59,680 Speaker 5: nobody takes the fortunes of the Dallas Cowboys lightly. A 3273 02:35:00,160 --> 02:35:02,640 Speaker 5: of weight, a lot of pressure. Once again, Jerry Jones 3274 02:35:02,720 --> 02:35:04,959 Speaker 5: made the deal to bring in Trey Lance. Yeah, it 3275 02:35:05,000 --> 02:35:07,640 Speaker 5: may not be for today, but it certainly gets some 3276 02:35:07,760 --> 02:35:11,560 Speaker 5: tongues wagging and people with their eyebrows raised. Dak Prescott 3277 02:35:11,640 --> 02:35:16,400 Speaker 5: struggling last year. The turnovers piled up for certain and 3278 02:35:16,520 --> 02:35:19,080 Speaker 5: right off the jump, you're on the road in a 3279 02:35:19,120 --> 02:35:22,920 Speaker 5: big Sunday night battle. What he expected from this Dallas 3280 02:35:22,959 --> 02:35:25,960 Speaker 5: offense and what does Mike McCarthy do differently. Now that 3281 02:35:26,040 --> 02:35:26,920 Speaker 5: Kellen Moore's. 3282 02:35:26,680 --> 02:35:30,320 Speaker 3: Moved on, offense would be more balanced, it'd be more 3283 02:35:30,440 --> 02:35:33,000 Speaker 3: run centric than it has been in the past. Dak Prescott 3284 02:35:33,040 --> 02:35:35,240 Speaker 3: would have more ownership on it, meaning they will have 3285 02:35:35,600 --> 02:35:37,879 Speaker 3: check with me plays at the line of scrimmage where 3286 02:35:38,040 --> 02:35:39,959 Speaker 3: he can have a run play call he doesn't like 3287 02:35:40,000 --> 02:35:41,840 Speaker 3: the look, checks out of it, they go to a pass. 3288 02:35:42,120 --> 02:35:44,560 Speaker 3: They may give him two or three options in the 3289 02:35:44,640 --> 02:35:47,560 Speaker 3: huddle where he can come out see the front assessed coverage. 3290 02:35:47,600 --> 02:35:50,400 Speaker 4: Hey, get the team in the right play. This is 3291 02:35:50,440 --> 02:35:52,680 Speaker 4: a chance for the Cowboys to go from good to great. 3292 02:35:53,040 --> 02:35:54,720 Speaker 3: The reason why they can go good the great is 3293 02:35:54,720 --> 02:35:57,320 Speaker 3: because now players have more ownership on what's going on. 3294 02:35:57,600 --> 02:36:00,840 Speaker 3: Dak Prescott's talked about having more command, more control that 3295 02:36:00,920 --> 02:36:01,800 Speaker 3: the line of scrimmage. 3296 02:36:01,840 --> 02:36:02,840 Speaker 4: What that empowers him? 3297 02:36:02,879 --> 02:36:05,840 Speaker 3: Okay, Dak, you want more empowerment now to get us 3298 02:36:05,879 --> 02:36:06,960 Speaker 3: to the next level. 3299 02:36:07,120 --> 02:36:09,040 Speaker 4: Defensively, Dan Quinn in his third year. 3300 02:36:09,080 --> 02:36:12,720 Speaker 3: Michael Parsons knows everything that he wants the young guy 3301 02:36:12,760 --> 02:36:14,960 Speaker 3: to do, so I expect Michael Parsons to play at 3302 02:36:14,959 --> 02:36:17,879 Speaker 3: the defensive player of the year level. This team is 3303 02:36:17,959 --> 02:36:19,960 Speaker 3: now a never Either they're going to do it this 3304 02:36:20,040 --> 02:36:22,879 Speaker 3: year or they'll never do it with this current iteration. 3305 02:36:23,240 --> 02:36:25,800 Speaker 3: So Dak Prescott understands that there's a lot of money 3306 02:36:25,840 --> 02:36:27,879 Speaker 3: on the line for him. He's eligible for an extension. 3307 02:36:27,879 --> 02:36:30,440 Speaker 3: They got to make an extension happen soon. If I'm 3308 02:36:30,440 --> 02:36:33,600 Speaker 3: going to pay Dak Prescott, think about this fifty five 3309 02:36:33,640 --> 02:36:36,360 Speaker 3: million dollars. I got to see this team get to 3310 02:36:36,400 --> 02:36:38,600 Speaker 3: the championship and beyond. That's the only way I can 3311 02:36:38,600 --> 02:36:40,560 Speaker 3: write that check. Otherwise, I got to look for a 3312 02:36:40,600 --> 02:36:44,200 Speaker 3: cheaper option and rebuild this team with a different quarterback 3313 02:36:44,240 --> 02:36:44,560 Speaker 3: in mind. 3314 02:36:44,720 --> 02:36:47,520 Speaker 5: Well, and that's where I look to it. Through the 3315 02:36:47,520 --> 02:36:50,720 Speaker 5: first couple of weeks of this collegiate season, Bucky is 3316 02:36:50,920 --> 02:36:54,720 Speaker 5: while they may not grde out his first first round picks, 3317 02:36:54,760 --> 02:36:57,119 Speaker 5: when it's all said and done, first couple of weeks, 3318 02:36:57,120 --> 02:36:59,320 Speaker 5: you got an awful lot of guys at least raising 3319 02:36:59,360 --> 02:37:02,119 Speaker 5: their hands saying they want a bit of the conversation 3320 02:37:02,240 --> 02:37:05,200 Speaker 5: in September right in terms of some of the gaudy 3321 02:37:05,280 --> 02:37:08,720 Speaker 5: numbers we've seen throughout the college game. I'll ask you 3322 02:37:08,760 --> 02:37:11,600 Speaker 5: this though, I what I said about Madison, I wonder 3323 02:37:11,600 --> 02:37:14,600 Speaker 5: if the same isn't true about Tony Pollard in terms 3324 02:37:14,640 --> 02:37:17,640 Speaker 5: of his physicality and where he's at in terms of 3325 02:37:17,680 --> 02:37:20,360 Speaker 5: what an over under his game to game on his 3326 02:37:20,480 --> 02:37:23,480 Speaker 5: production before you have diminishing returns. And I know Deuce 3327 02:37:23,600 --> 02:37:26,200 Speaker 5: Vaughan was a great story in the preseason. Are you 3328 02:37:26,280 --> 02:37:29,160 Speaker 5: surprised they didn't fortify that position in the offseason. I 3329 02:37:29,200 --> 02:37:32,440 Speaker 5: really thought you'd either see Zeke back or somebody else 3330 02:37:32,840 --> 02:37:35,240 Speaker 5: to help in that running back room. 3331 02:37:36,200 --> 02:37:36,959 Speaker 4: Don't discount it. 3332 02:37:37,040 --> 02:37:38,760 Speaker 3: A lot of times you may want to wait to 3333 02:37:38,879 --> 02:37:41,800 Speaker 3: after week one. So if you sign, you sign a 3334 02:37:41,879 --> 02:37:44,600 Speaker 3: veteran after week one, now you don't have to fully 3335 02:37:44,640 --> 02:37:47,400 Speaker 3: guarantee there a contract for the season. So you may 3336 02:37:47,440 --> 02:37:51,040 Speaker 3: see a lot of movement come Tuesday where guys are 3337 02:37:51,080 --> 02:37:53,800 Speaker 3: signed because now they're not kind of locked into the deal. 3338 02:37:53,879 --> 02:37:55,760 Speaker 3: So you may see Kareem Hunt come off the board. 3339 02:37:55,760 --> 02:37:57,480 Speaker 3: You may see some of these other running backs that 3340 02:37:57,520 --> 02:38:00,520 Speaker 3: are just kind of laying languishing out there, you may 3341 02:38:00,520 --> 02:38:02,760 Speaker 3: see them quickly get snapped up because now I'm not 3342 02:38:02,879 --> 02:38:05,640 Speaker 3: obligated to keep you on my team the entire year. 3343 02:38:06,240 --> 02:38:09,279 Speaker 5: He's Bucky Brooks out by Carmon here Fox Football Sunday. 3344 02:38:09,320 --> 02:38:11,840 Speaker 5: Fox Sports Radio did a little bit of it last 3345 02:38:11,879 --> 02:38:14,760 Speaker 5: hour on the game side of things. Is there a 3346 02:38:14,800 --> 02:38:17,920 Speaker 5: player that intrigues you most of what's coming to bear? 3347 02:38:18,000 --> 02:38:20,360 Speaker 5: I mean, obviously you got Anthony Richardson in the game, 3348 02:38:20,400 --> 02:38:23,680 Speaker 5: You're going to be a part of their Jacksonville and Indianapolis. 3349 02:38:23,680 --> 02:38:27,120 Speaker 5: But outside of Richardson and the wildcard aspect there with 3350 02:38:27,200 --> 02:38:30,240 Speaker 5: a very short receiver room and an unknown at the 3351 02:38:30,320 --> 02:38:33,120 Speaker 5: running back position, how many more question marks can I 3352 02:38:33,120 --> 02:38:36,120 Speaker 5: throw on it? It's like the Riddler run around with 3353 02:38:36,200 --> 02:38:38,959 Speaker 5: question marks on a suit going on there as we go. 3354 02:38:39,400 --> 02:38:41,680 Speaker 5: Is there a player that intrigues you? You know that 3355 02:38:41,720 --> 02:38:45,680 Speaker 5: you're just really excited new destination or situation or just 3356 02:38:45,720 --> 02:38:48,400 Speaker 5: coming off the board that really has your attention? 3357 02:38:49,760 --> 02:38:52,200 Speaker 3: B John Robinson, the Atlanta Falcon has heard so much 3358 02:38:52,200 --> 02:38:54,320 Speaker 3: about him. I've even made a comparison to Hall of 3359 02:38:54,360 --> 02:38:58,280 Speaker 3: Famer Ladenian Thomlinson in terms of what heat offers as 3360 02:38:58,320 --> 02:39:02,360 Speaker 3: a run pass, run past, catch, playmaker. 3361 02:39:02,640 --> 02:39:04,000 Speaker 4: This is a guy who is special. 3362 02:39:04,080 --> 02:39:05,400 Speaker 3: I want to see if he shows off some of 3363 02:39:05,400 --> 02:39:07,160 Speaker 3: the fish skills. I also want to see how Arthur 3364 02:39:07,200 --> 02:39:09,720 Speaker 3: Smith utilizes him in that offense. 3365 02:39:09,920 --> 02:39:10,520 Speaker 4: It'll be key. 3366 02:39:11,080 --> 02:39:13,320 Speaker 5: I pick them to win the division because I'm just 3367 02:39:13,440 --> 02:39:16,600 Speaker 5: spicy like that. So we'll see if they can get 3368 02:39:16,600 --> 02:39:19,520 Speaker 5: out of the gate well against these Carolina Panthers three 3369 02:39:19,520 --> 02:39:23,040 Speaker 5: and a half point home favorites over under total there though, 3370 02:39:23,200 --> 02:39:26,039 Speaker 5: thirty nine and a half grind the clock, no question 3371 02:39:26,160 --> 02:39:28,800 Speaker 5: about it. Count Down to Kickoffs coming up next, Bucky, 3372 02:39:28,920 --> 02:39:31,200 Speaker 5: have a great call. Look forward to hearing it and 3373 02:39:31,440 --> 02:39:32,640 Speaker 5: getting back with you next week. 3374 02:39:34,320 --> 02:39:35,760 Speaker 4: Cool thanks man, the. 3375 02:39:35,640 --> 02:39:39,000 Speaker 5: Best coming up next.
