We've got Iowa Sam in 17 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 2: the building. 18 00:00:56,840 --> 00:00:57,080 Speaker 4: Sam. 19 00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:58,240 Speaker 3: It's great to see you today. 20 00:00:58,360 --> 00:01:01,920 Speaker 2: Is this all about you being here with your cyclones 21 00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:03,160 Speaker 2: in Dublin today? 22 00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:03,520 Speaker 4: Yes? 23 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:07,080 Speaker 5: Yeah, nice momentum building win for them. It was kind 24 00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:08,840 Speaker 5: of a sloppy game, but they got to do that 25 00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 5: was sloppy. 26 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 2: I'm going to get into the whole idea of why 27 00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 2: why are we playing games in Dublin? Uh, Isaac Low 28 00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: and Crawn. 29 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 3: So we're gonna hold great to have all you guys 30 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:23,200 Speaker 3: here today. 31 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 2: All right, So we got a lot of ground to cover, 32 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,360 Speaker 2: and I do want to get to the whole idea 33 00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: of why we're opening a college football season in Dublin, Ireland. 34 00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: But first we gotta we got to address, uh, what 35 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:40,840 Speaker 2: happening are still happening right now in this preseason matchup 36 00:01:40,840 --> 00:01:43,360 Speaker 2: between the Rams and the Browns. Inside two minutes to 37 00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 2: go and obviously a very meaningless game right now, although 38 00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,040 Speaker 2: things could change dramatically because we have one guy in 39 00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:55,040 Speaker 2: this game that desperately is trying to come up with 40 00:01:55,160 --> 00:02:02,280 Speaker 2: some positive takeaway. You only give a little taste of 41 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 2: what has happened to him already today, Sam, can you 42 00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 2: play this low light from Shadour Sanders day added the. 43 00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 6: Shotgun on second down, Sanders backpedaling, pressured again, spins away, 44 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:18,280 Speaker 6: now backpedaling. This looks like Colorado Sanders sack back at 45 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 6: the twenty three. 46 00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:22,799 Speaker 7: So he's not getting the open receivers and he's starting 47 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,000 Speaker 7: to develop drift back into some of his bad habits 48 00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 7: drifting back there. You have two negative plays that lose. 49 00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:30,080 Speaker 7: I can't even how many yards was that one? Our 50 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,560 Speaker 7: great statistician, right there twenty two yard sack. You can't 51 00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 7: take a twenty two yard sack in the National Football League. 52 00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,520 Speaker 2: All right, So Schadeur Sanders. By the way, the Browns 53 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:43,280 Speaker 2: down one have been Shadoor Sanders, and they have brought 54 00:02:43,280 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 2: in Tyler Huntley to try to lead a final drive 55 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:49,920 Speaker 2: for a game. 56 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:51,000 Speaker 3: Winning field goal. 57 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:54,640 Speaker 2: So here was an opportunity if you're committed to Shardoor 58 00:02:54,840 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: Sanders saying, all right, forget everything that's happened. We're going 59 00:02:57,200 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 2: to give you like a two minute run here, try 60 00:02:59,440 --> 00:03:03,080 Speaker 2: to get us in position to maybe win this preseason 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:08,880 Speaker 2: game with a field goal. Instead, Sanders gets benched. So 62 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 2: let me go over the quarterback stats for the Browns 63 00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: in this game, and keep in mind the Rams. 64 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,640 Speaker 3: Played nobody today. 65 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 2: In fact, the Rams have played the entire game with 66 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:26,200 Speaker 2: dresser Win at quarterback. I challenge anybody out there to 67 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 2: tell me where this guy came from. Dresser Win, Bo, 68 00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: have you ever heard the name dresser Win? 69 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: Anybody? He played in the UFL last year? 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 2: I believe UFL. There you go, Dresser Win. He's played 71 00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:42,560 Speaker 2: the entire game for the Rams. So the Rams played 72 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:48,080 Speaker 2: nobody today. Joe Flacco got the start nine to ten 73 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,720 Speaker 2: seventy one yards touchdown. 74 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:51,360 Speaker 3: All right, there you go. 75 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel came in twelve of nineteen hundred and twenty 76 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 2: nine yards, one touchdown, no picks, no sacks. 77 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:03,480 Speaker 3: Then they handed the ball to Shadoor Sanders. 78 00:04:03,920 --> 00:04:08,320 Speaker 2: Keep in mind he's going against the Rams second third string. 79 00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:11,600 Speaker 2: Almost everybody he's playing against will not be on the 80 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:18,480 Speaker 2: Rams roster on opening day. Three or six, fourteen yards 81 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:25,240 Speaker 2: of fumble, five sacks for negative forty one yards. That is, 82 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,520 Speaker 2: that is a net negative twenty seven yards passing for 83 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 2: Chadour Sanders. Now, if you were to base his future 84 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:45,200 Speaker 2: with the Browns on this game, he will be released tomorrow. Now, 85 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 2: I again, if people kept shaking their heads about Shudoor 86 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:54,680 Speaker 2: Sanders and how it was that this guy fell from 87 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,760 Speaker 2: a projected, you know, top three pick in the draft 88 00:04:58,080 --> 00:05:00,360 Speaker 2: all the way down to the fifth round, and then 89 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,640 Speaker 2: my dear friend Eric Dickerson breaking the story this week 90 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:07,320 Speaker 2: that he had a very very reliable source. And having 91 00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 2: known Eric as long as I have, this guy's not 92 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,480 Speaker 2: going to give anything out that isn't true, all right, 93 00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:17,240 Speaker 2: So I trust Eric one hundred percent when he says 94 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,320 Speaker 2: this was a very very high. 95 00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,599 Speaker 3: Ranking source in the league. 96 00:05:21,320 --> 00:05:23,640 Speaker 2: All right, let's hear my buddy ed And this is 97 00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: what he had to say about the NFL basically complying. 98 00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,600 Speaker 3: To not draft Shudoor Sanders. 99 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 8: And I'll tell you as much here what I and 100 00:05:36,200 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 8: what I heard from someone that's in the NFL that 101 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,680 Speaker 8: the NFL put it told of the don't draft him, 102 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,000 Speaker 8: do not draft him. We're gonna make him, We're gonna 103 00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:47,039 Speaker 8: make an example out of him. And this came from 104 00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:50,080 Speaker 8: a very good source, a very good source. And he 105 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:53,279 Speaker 8: said that I won't say who. Somebody called the Cleveland 106 00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,440 Speaker 8: Browns and said, don't do that. Draft really, yep, draft him, 107 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,280 Speaker 8: don't don't. Don't do that, because they weren't drafted either. 108 00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: They Yeah, the whole You remember, you remember when Cleveland 109 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,039 Speaker 2: took him in the fifth round after I already taken 110 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,560 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel in the third round. And you know, now 111 00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:11,080 Speaker 2: they have the cameras inside these draft rooms and you're 112 00:06:11,120 --> 00:06:13,480 Speaker 2: you're looking at the faces of the general manager, of 113 00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:14,919 Speaker 2: the coaches and everybody else. 114 00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 3: And it didn't matter. 115 00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:17,760 Speaker 2: It could be a six to seven round pick, you know, 116 00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:19,280 Speaker 2: every time the camera's on their steps. 117 00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, we got. 118 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,360 Speaker 2: The guy we want, got the guy we want when 119 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,920 Speaker 2: they had the cameras set on them. After drafting Shadoor Sanders, 120 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:29,800 Speaker 2: stone faced across the board. 121 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: So why did the Browns. 122 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 2: Draft Shoodoor Sanders If they didn't want Shadoor Sanders, you 123 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 2: drafted Dylan Gabriel in the third round, why would you 124 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:43,160 Speaker 2: use a fifth round pick on Shoodoor Sanders. Didn't make 125 00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 2: any sense then, doesn't make any sense now. But now, 126 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:50,440 Speaker 2: of course the Browns have got themselves a problem. 127 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:52,760 Speaker 3: It's a pr problem. 128 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:53,640 Speaker 4: You know. 129 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:55,839 Speaker 2: This week they announced that Joe Flacco is going to 130 00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 2: be their Week one quarterback. Of course he is. He's 131 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 2: a proven quarterback in the NFL. If you're Kevin Stefanski, 132 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: your job is to try to win games so you 133 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:15,000 Speaker 2: can keep your job. But this outrage how Shadoor Sanders 134 00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 2: should be your starting quarterback. Today, Shadoor Sanders showed why 135 00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 2: he was not ever considered an elite quarterback prospect, because 136 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:40,080 Speaker 2: to be an elite quarterback you have to do two things. One, 137 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 2: you have to throw the ball accurately, which he certainly 138 00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 2: did at Colorado. 139 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: Of course, it. 140 00:07:48,040 --> 00:07:50,520 Speaker 2: Helps when you have a receiver like Travis Hunter. But 141 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 2: that aside, he was able to get the ball there. 142 00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,800 Speaker 2: He doesn't have a canon arm, nothing close to that, 143 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 2: but in a controlled situation, he could get the ball 144 00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 2: from point A to point B. But here's the problem. 145 00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:09,400 Speaker 2: To be an elite quarterback, Throwing the ball accurately is 146 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:14,720 Speaker 2: half of what you need. The other half is making 147 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:20,960 Speaker 2: the right decision when the ball is snapped and his 148 00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 2: inability to realize that getting rid of the football instead 149 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: of taking a ten yard sack a twelve yard sack 150 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,480 Speaker 2: as he did today, a twenty two yard sack will 151 00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 2: never play in the NFL, ever, so this is going 152 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 2: to be a very interesting week. Flacco is your starting 153 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 2: quarterback in the battle between Dylan Gabriel and Schoudeur Sanders. 154 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: Gabriel wins and Shouldur loses, You're going to keep both 155 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:01,960 Speaker 2: of them, to keep him on the practice squad. Are 156 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: you gonna shop them around a fifth round pick? Do 157 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: you think anyone would give up any draft capital for 158 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:12,320 Speaker 2: chudor Sanders? And the pr fallout for the Browns is 159 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 2: gonna be horrific because if they. 160 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,160 Speaker 3: Release him, oh, people are going to be all over them. 161 00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:24,679 Speaker 2: Label it any way you want, because should Or Sanders 162 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 2: is someone and this always gets back to you don't 163 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,760 Speaker 2: want to do this for someone that is not a 164 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:43,480 Speaker 2: starting player. Should door Sanders was competing to be a 165 00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 2: backup quarterback for the Cleveland Browns, But he's getting the 166 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: attention of someone that's projected to be a franchise quarterback. 167 00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,520 Speaker 2: So the Browns have done so many things. 168 00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:59,319 Speaker 3: Wrong, so many things wrong. 169 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:04,800 Speaker 2: That Deshaun Watson signing was a catastrophe, so you're still 170 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:10,680 Speaker 2: dealing with that. But drafting Chaudeur Sanders could even be 171 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,440 Speaker 2: a bigger pr nightmare for the Browns. And this is 172 00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:18,920 Speaker 2: not that I'm rooting against him, it's just who he 173 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:24,199 Speaker 2: is as a quarterback. Think about this. In the college game, 174 00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 2: sacks are counted as rushing yards. If you ever wonder 175 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:31,240 Speaker 2: why it is that you see these players with negative 176 00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: yards rushing and the college game as opposed to sacks 177 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:39,120 Speaker 2: in the NFL are not. Rushing yards are a separate category, 178 00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:42,320 Speaker 2: so they're not counted as rushing yards against the quarterback 179 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: when the quarterback gets sacked, but in the college game 180 00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:48,080 Speaker 2: they are, And in both of his years at Colorado 181 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 2: he finished the season with negative rushing yards. We're in 182 00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:56,000 Speaker 2: an era now where you need quarterbacks that can win 183 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: with the arm, win with the legs. That's where it's at. 184 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 2: And if you're not capable of winning with your legs, then. 185 00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 3: You better be. 186 00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: You better have super human talent in throwing the football, 187 00:11:11,880 --> 00:11:15,960 Speaker 2: and Shardeor Sanders does not have that. So it was 188 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:20,880 Speaker 2: a catastrophe for Shardoor Sanders today and a catastrophe for 189 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:21,680 Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns. 190 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:25,320 Speaker 3: By the way, Tyler Huntley came in as they bent 191 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:29,000 Speaker 3: Shardoor Sanders on that final drive and actually just led 192 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 3: the Browns to a game winning field goal. 193 00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: So Flack will play great dealing, Gabriel played great, and 194 00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:40,559 Speaker 2: on that final drive, Tyler Huntley played great, and Shadoor 195 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: Sanders was a disaster. 196 00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:44,160 Speaker 3: All right. 197 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,880 Speaker 2: Coming up, we got a lot more going on.

That's correct? 245 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 5: And then to make things worse, they closed most of 246 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:16,720 Speaker 5: the lanes for it. 247 00:14:16,840 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 2: Okay, that was this because of an accident? Was there 248 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 2: another one of their less construction attruction? 249 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:23,600 Speaker 3: Yeah? 250 00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 2: Remember they actually closed down these freeways a couple of 251 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 2: years ago. 252 00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:29,920 Speaker 3: Like it was unbelievable. 253 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,800 Speaker 2: As if driving in La isn't a big enough nightmare, 254 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 2: they actually shut down like the four or five freeway. 255 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 3: Isa, you remember that. 256 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 12: They called it Karmageddon. Ironically, I remember it was actually 257 00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:47,040 Speaker 12: not that bad. 258 00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 2: You know why it wasn't that bad Because there was 259 00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:52,360 Speaker 2: so much forewarning, people just decided to avoid the area. 260 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,960 Speaker 12: Yes, the rest of the time it's been Carmageddon. 261 00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:57,080 Speaker 5: Though this didn't have any warning, no warning, and so 262 00:14:57,120 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 5: when there was no warning, you say, well, wait a second, 263 00:14:59,200 --> 00:15:00,840 Speaker 5: it's it's like Saturday. 264 00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 3: I mean, how much traffic is there? Oh, I'm coming. 265 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 3: See I'm coming from a different direction. I'm coming up 266 00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 3: the one on one toward the four h five and 267 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 3: usually there's a log jam trying to get onto the 268 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,280 Speaker 3: four to five. So Nikki is in the mix mid 269 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:20,440 Speaker 3: midst of what is that midst midst? Thank you very much, Sam, 270 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,000 Speaker 3: midst of this and she'll get here when she gets here. Okay, 271 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 3: Well I'm glad Iowa Sam is here today because first 272 00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:32,320 Speaker 3: of all, I'm watching this game between Iowa Stayed and 273 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 3: Kansas State. What network was caring that was. 274 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,000 Speaker 4: That there was ESPN. 275 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,000 Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, here's what I don't understand when you are 276 00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:49,040 Speaker 2: bringing an event like this on television. So in the 277 00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 2: pregame build up to this matchup to top twenty five teams, Okay, 278 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,400 Speaker 2: Iowa State Kansas State both projected to be very solid 279 00:15:57,400 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 2: teams this year, so it's a good matchup. So they 280 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 2: have someone in the street in Dublin talking to people 281 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:11,040 Speaker 2: about this game. So they're just taking random people. They're like, so, 282 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 2: can you name a single college football team in America? 283 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 8: No? 284 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:27,880 Speaker 3: Okay, next person, how many points do you get awarded 285 00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: for a touchdown? I have no idea, and it's like 286 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,440 Speaker 3: one question after another. So I'm thinking to myself, ro. 287 00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:44,440 Speaker 2: We have decided to open the college football season Week 288 00:16:44,560 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 2: zero with two top twenty five teams. 289 00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 3: So it's a big game for both these teams in 290 00:16:51,720 --> 00:16:59,360 Speaker 3: a place that has no clue about college football? What 291 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: is the point? Dublin used to be a nice place 292 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 3: where Notre Dame used to play at Dublin. All right, 293 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,199 Speaker 3: people know Notre Dame at Dublin. I'm sure they know 294 00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,040 Speaker 3: Notre Dame. You know, they don't know. 295 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,280 Speaker 2: They don't know Kansas State, and they don't know Iowa State. 296 00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,199 Speaker 2: They could not point out on a map where the 297 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:21,359 Speaker 2: states of Kansas or Iowa r So why exactly was 298 00:17:21,400 --> 00:17:24,520 Speaker 2: this game played in Dublin, Ireland? I got it when 299 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: you had the fighting irish of Notre Dame having a 300 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:33,640 Speaker 2: game in Dublin. Okay, that makes sense, But to have 301 00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:38,240 Speaker 2: Iowa State and Kansas State in Dublin, Iolan. It makes 302 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 2: no sense. What about Florida State and Georgia Tech last year? 303 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:44,760 Speaker 3: No sense I said the same thing last year. 304 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:48,040 Speaker 5: They did a good crowd though here for this game. Okay, 305 00:17:48,160 --> 00:17:50,600 Speaker 5: a lot of Iowa State fans. It was like good, good, 306 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:51,040 Speaker 5: good time. 307 00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:51,359 Speaker 4: Okay. 308 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:54,400 Speaker 2: I will give it to the Iowa State and Kansas 309 00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:56,560 Speaker 2: State fans that made the long trip to sit in 310 00:17:56,600 --> 00:18:01,280 Speaker 2: the pouring rain in Dublin, Ireland. The game was, unfortunately 311 00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:04,680 Speaker 2: because of the weather, sloppy right off the bad fumbled 312 00:18:04,720 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 2: punt return and then fumbled pitch back and it was 313 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,400 Speaker 2: two turnovers within like four plays to start the game. 314 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: And they're like, oh man, it was slippery balls. Yeah, 315 00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 3: it's a problem. But again, okay, so what did we 316 00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:18,960 Speaker 3: prove it? 317 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 2: In states like Kansas and Iowa where there is no 318 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: NFL football, they'll travel for their team. 319 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,720 Speaker 3: That's all they got. So they yeah, they'll. 320 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 2: Travel, and hey, let's make a trip and let's go 321 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:30,560 Speaker 2: to Dublin, Ireland. 322 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:31,680 Speaker 3: No, not on Dublin. 323 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 2: But there's no reason to have this game there, especially 324 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,320 Speaker 2: a game that actually matters, because it mattered for both 325 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: these teams. 326 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:44,080 Speaker 5: Today, it's the air Lingus College Football Kickoff Classic the 327 00:18:44,160 --> 00:18:44,760 Speaker 5: air Lingis. 328 00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:48,000 Speaker 12: By the way, Steve, didn't your beloved Bruins once play 329 00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 12: a regulation college basketball game against Georgia Tech in China? 330 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:54,280 Speaker 2: Yes, well I know why they did, and we know 331 00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:55,800 Speaker 2: we know what happened with that game. 332 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:59,080 Speaker 3: Yes, we do. Yes, what They're arrested and in prison. 333 00:18:59,320 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 3: One of the ball brothers, the one that didn't matter. Yeah, 334 00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 3: that guy.

I 365 00:20:33,840 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 3: forewarned everybody. 366 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:37,560 Speaker 4: You know. 367 00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 2: You remember how we used to complain about the BCS 368 00:20:40,520 --> 00:20:43,120 Speaker 2: championship game. Remember how we used to complain about that 369 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,639 Speaker 2: where we you know, some computer system would decide which 370 00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:49,639 Speaker 2: two teams should face off in a so called And 371 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,879 Speaker 2: by the way, all of these are mythical national championships. 372 00:20:54,160 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 2: There has never been an NCAA champion in Division one 373 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:03,200 Speaker 2: football ever. 374 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 3: Stop with that, Steve. There's never been one. You always 375 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:09,359 Speaker 3: on this horse. 376 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 2: Every single sport, at every single level, Division two, Division 377 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 2: three FCS men's women's there is an NCAA champion except 378 00:21:20,840 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: for one sport, Division one football. So when people talk 379 00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:27,760 Speaker 2: about how many national championships you won in college football, 380 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:31,600 Speaker 2: the answer to all of them is zero. There has 381 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 2: never been a legitimate national champion in Division one football ever. 382 00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:43,399 Speaker 2: I mean you can make an argument, well that was 383 00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 2: the best team. Come on, I saw them. They were 384 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,520 Speaker 2: absolutely great. 385 00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:47,600 Speaker 3: They were great. 386 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:51,680 Speaker 5: BCS national champions, by. 387 00:21:51,440 --> 00:21:55,160 Speaker 2: Champ champions, UPI champions back in the day. I mean, 388 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: there's there's a lot of different national champions Take a 389 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,880 Speaker 2: look at the roster. They have multiple teams every year. 390 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:03,480 Speaker 2: The MacArthur Bowl, they give that away. The National Football 391 00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:08,280 Speaker 2: Foundations still give that thing away. So the teams lay 392 00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:11,919 Speaker 2: claim to a variety of different national championships over the years. 393 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:15,560 Speaker 2: The bottom line is none of them are actually legit. 394 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 2: So now you decide we're going to have a playoff 395 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,080 Speaker 2: and we're going to expand the field. 396 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 3: Great idea, but you fed up on this one. 397 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:31,360 Speaker 2: The format proved to be a failure a year ago, 398 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 2: and now they're talking about expanding it to make it 399 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 2: even a bigger disaster. I have a solution, but first 400 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 2: let's find out what is trending right now, and well, 401 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,480 Speaker 2: ISAA glowing crime. 402 00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:47,320 Speaker 12: It's been a while, hasn't it. 403 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:54,119 Speaker 3: Ilo. When I think of centuries that we have been together, 404 00:22:55,960 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 3: it's because you're both vampires. 405 00:22:57,280 --> 00:22:58,639 Speaker 4: You live forever?

Yeah. Let me update you on exactly the numbers. 538 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 2: Here are the numbers. Today, the Cleveland Browns played against 539 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 2: the Rams. I did a preview this game on l A. 540 00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:45,520 Speaker 3: TV last night, and we were talking about the fact 541 00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,400 Speaker 3: that the Rams who didn't play No. 542 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,880 Speaker 2: One and they didn't their starting quarterback. He played the 543 00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:54,440 Speaker 2: entire game Dresser win. Anybody Dresser win. That was the 544 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,280 Speaker 2: quarterback game, though Dresser is your first name. Dresser win, w. 545 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,800 Speaker 3: I n n uh played the tire game for the 546 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 3: Rams today. By the way, he had a passer ratio 547 00:30:04,520 --> 00:30:06,800 Speaker 3: of one oh five point three, not two bad. Wow. 548 00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 2: So Joe Flacco started for the Browns. He was nine 549 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:12,920 Speaker 2: to ten seventy one yards a touchdown, no picks. That's 550 00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 2: a passer radio one twenty nine point six. 551 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,800 Speaker 13: I just I just love Joe. Yeah, well, Joe, I'm 552 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,600 Speaker 13: forty years old. 553 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 3: He still knows how to play this game. Okay, So let's. 554 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 13: Suck shootor and then I want to circle back to Joe. 555 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,880 Speaker 3: Then we brought in Dylan Gabriel. 556 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 2: So Dylan Gabriel came in and he played the rest 557 00:30:28,760 --> 00:30:31,280 Speaker 2: of the first half twelve to nineteen hundred and twenty 558 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 2: nine yards a touchdown, no picks, passer ratio of one 559 00:30:33,760 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 2: hundred point five. 560 00:30:34,960 --> 00:30:38,080 Speaker 3: So Dylan Gabriel getting a little bit better each time out. 561 00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 13: And he's a competitor, not an entertainer, remember. 562 00:30:40,960 --> 00:30:44,240 Speaker 2: That, correct, So now they hand the ball to shirt 563 00:30:44,440 --> 00:30:49,080 Speaker 2: Sanders for the second half. His final stats three for 564 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:56,320 Speaker 2: six passing fourteen yards, five sacks for forty one yards 565 00:30:56,360 --> 00:31:00,000 Speaker 2: in losses, and a QB rating of fifty six point two. 566 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:04,640 Speaker 2: And then, to add insult to injury, when the Browns 567 00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:07,040 Speaker 2: got the ball back after the Rams took it lately, 568 00:31:07,080 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 2: they had time for one last drive. Figuring maybe Shaudor 569 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 2: could redeem himself, they bench him and they bring in 570 00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:17,400 Speaker 2: Tyler Huntly for that final drive and he leads the 571 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:21,480 Speaker 2: Browns down to a game winning field goal. So, based 572 00:31:21,520 --> 00:31:25,240 Speaker 2: on what we saw today, Shador Sanders is going to 573 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 2: get released. 574 00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,280 Speaker 13: Yeah, I mean, and especially when you think about that 575 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 13: quarterback room right there, it's kind of been the whole 576 00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 13: storyline of the preseason, the offseason Cleveland. That's a crowded 577 00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:40,520 Speaker 13: QB room, and then you got a name like Shadur 578 00:31:40,600 --> 00:31:46,640 Speaker 13: in there, which is an attention magnet. It's it's it's 579 00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 13: hard because there's no I mean, you look at the 580 00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,160 Speaker 13: two guys who literally took the field before them before him, 581 00:31:53,880 --> 00:32:00,760 Speaker 13: incremental improvement for Dylan Gabriel, and then Shadoor just doesn't 582 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 13: meet the moment, and he's been given a lot of 583 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:05,840 Speaker 13: a lot of rope, so to speak. 584 00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:14,400 Speaker 3: Why why why did the Browns draft Shadoor Sanders? If again, 585 00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 3: if you're if you're going to take a quarterback that's 586 00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,800 Speaker 3: going to get that kind of attention, right, it's got 587 00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 3: to be a starting quarterback. So when it was announced 588 00:32:25,600 --> 00:32:27,240 Speaker 3: this week that Joe Flacco is going to be the 589 00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 3: game one starter, of course he's going to be the 590 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:30,200 Speaker 3: game one starter. 591 00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski's trying to save his job. I need a 592 00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 2: quarterback I know that knows my offense, A guy that 593 00:32:38,200 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 2: was there two years ago, comeback player of the Year, 594 00:32:41,360 --> 00:32:44,040 Speaker 2: getting off the couch. He knows me, I know him, 595 00:32:44,200 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: he knows his team. He's my starting quarterback. But you 596 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:51,160 Speaker 2: do not need the noise that's come along with Shadoor 597 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: Sanders when all he's doing is competing for a backup 598 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 2: job with Dylan Gabriel. And then when it was announced 599 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,960 Speaker 2: this week that Joe Flacco would be the Week one start, 600 00:33:00,480 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 2: Uh duh? 601 00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 13: Right, oh oh? 602 00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 3: Can you not give it to Shador? 603 00:33:05,560 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: Did you see what he did against Carolina in that 604 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:09,760 Speaker 2: first preseason game. 605 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:12,560 Speaker 13: It's just distraction after distraction. 606 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,400 Speaker 3: You don't need that from a backup. 607 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:17,720 Speaker 13: Court and in a preseason game when you have numbers 608 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:18,840 Speaker 13: like that too. 609 00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:21,680 Speaker 3: Can you imagine the fallout this week if they release him? 610 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:24,440 Speaker 13: Did you say forty one yards for loss? 611 00:33:24,680 --> 00:33:29,280 Speaker 2: Forty one his net passing yardageiative negative twenty seven. 612 00:33:29,320 --> 00:33:29,480 Speaker 4: Yeah. 613 00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:32,680 Speaker 13: I was gonna say, like, it shouldn't even be allowed 614 00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 13: to you shouldn't even be allowed to say he was 615 00:33:34,720 --> 00:33:38,520 Speaker 13: three for six for fourteen yards and then follow it 616 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 13: up with. 617 00:33:40,560 --> 00:33:43,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, was it like oh no, no, yeah, Hey Sam, 618 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 3: can you play again the call of this sack for Nikki? 619 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:47,240 Speaker 4: Here? 620 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,720 Speaker 3: Listen?

All right, this is 629 00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:14,360 Speaker 2: Andrew Siciliano, who's the play by play voice of the 630 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,160 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. Listen, do we have to say about this 631 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:21,480 Speaker 2: unbelievable sack that Shudor Sanders took out. 632 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 4: Of the shotgun. 633 00:34:22,040 --> 00:34:25,840 Speaker 6: On second down, Sanders back pedaling, pressured again, spins away 634 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 6: now backpedaling just looks like Colorado. Sanders sack back at 635 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 6: the twenty three. 636 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,120 Speaker 7: So he's not getting the open receivers and he's starting 637 00:34:34,120 --> 00:34:36,280 Speaker 7: to develop drift back into some of his bad habits 638 00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 7: drifting back. There, you have two negative plays that lose. 639 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,400 Speaker 7: I can't even how many yards was that one? Our 640 00:34:41,440 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 7: great statistician right there, twenty two yard sack. You can't 641 00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:47,880 Speaker 7: take a twenty two yard sack in the National Football League. 642 00:34:48,200 --> 00:34:49,880 Speaker 3: No, you cannot, No, you can't. 643 00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:53,640 Speaker 2: And this was again a guy in two years at Colorado, 644 00:34:53,800 --> 00:34:56,799 Speaker 2: where sacks are counted as rushing yards. They don't do 645 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,799 Speaker 2: that in the NFL. It's a separate category. But in college, 646 00:35:00,360 --> 00:35:02,359 Speaker 2: if you are a quarterback and you get sacked, it's 647 00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:05,000 Speaker 2: negative rushing yards. He had negative rushing. 648 00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:08,359 Speaker 3: Yards both years he was at Colorado because he not 649 00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,800 Speaker 3: just took a lot of sacks, he took big sacks, 650 00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 3: which was a warning to NFL teams that the one 651 00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:18,880 Speaker 3: thing you need out of a quarterback is the ability 652 00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,160 Speaker 3: to make quick decisions when to get rid of the ball, 653 00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 3: where to throw the ball. 654 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:25,000 Speaker 2: You've got to make this. It's not enough to throw 655 00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:28,359 Speaker 2: the ball accurately when you have time, it's being able 656 00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,160 Speaker 2: to think on your feet and make those quick decisions. 657 00:35:31,640 --> 00:35:35,759 Speaker 2: And what he showed today, well you can take a 658 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 2: three yards sack, but not a twenty yards. 659 00:35:38,360 --> 00:35:42,680 Speaker 13: Right, exactly exactly like that's what I was getting, you know. 660 00:35:42,760 --> 00:35:48,680 Speaker 13: But in livetime, those broadcasters andrew calling him out saying 661 00:35:48,680 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 13: he's regressed, he's falling back into his collegiate tendencies. 662 00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:53,600 Speaker 3: Well that's it. 663 00:35:53,760 --> 00:35:55,840 Speaker 2: That's the end of the preseason. Now you got to 664 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,279 Speaker 2: make a decision. If you're the Cleveland Browns, are you 665 00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,360 Speaker 2: going to keep him? You're not going to keep o 666 00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:02,759 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders and Dylan Gabriel. 667 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:05,640 Speaker 13: Do you think do you think anyone else would pick 668 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:06,040 Speaker 13: him up? 669 00:36:07,160 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 3: Why? 670 00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:08,080 Speaker 13: I know? 671 00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:08,840 Speaker 4: For what? 672 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:12,400 Speaker 2: To get more noise, because again, the problem for the 673 00:36:12,440 --> 00:36:13,400 Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns. 674 00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,760 Speaker 3: Right now is they got a pr nightmare. 675 00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:17,600 Speaker 2: They are for a quarterback, Well they are. They've already 676 00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:21,520 Speaker 2: created a peer with the Deshaun Watson situation. But you've 677 00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,000 Speaker 2: done this for a quarterback that was never going to 678 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:28,000 Speaker 2: be your starting quarterback. You gave people that were defending 679 00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders, especially after he dropped in the draft that 680 00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,440 Speaker 2: this guy deserves to be a starting quarterback in the 681 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 2: NFL the Rams. He was going against Rams players that 682 00:36:38,160 --> 00:36:39,920 Speaker 2: are not even gonna be on the roster. 683 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:42,800 Speaker 3: They're all going to be looking for jobs in a 684 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,160 Speaker 3: couple of weeks. And he took five sacks for forty 685 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:46,200 Speaker 3: one yards and losses. 686 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,319 Speaker 13: But something tells me this isn't the end of the 687 00:36:49,320 --> 00:36:50,320 Speaker 13: Shadoor Sanders. 688 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:50,839 Speaker 3: Why not? 689 00:36:52,600 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 13: I just can't.

He had one final tour 722 00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:24,560 Speaker 3: of all the training camps, so we have so many 723 00:38:24,600 --> 00:38:26,000 Speaker 3: stories to get to see. 724 00:38:26,040 --> 00:38:28,880 Speaker 2: This is the problem with the preseason football is that 725 00:38:28,920 --> 00:38:30,400 Speaker 2: we have all right, this is the final week of 726 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,840 Speaker 2: preseason football games and then he got the bye week. 727 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:36,919 Speaker 2: So next week it's all college football week one, full 728 00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:40,399 Speaker 2: college football schedule. Hey, before we get to where they're 729 00:38:40,440 --> 00:38:44,520 Speaker 2: going next with this college football playoff, I mentioned really 730 00:38:44,560 --> 00:38:47,759 Speaker 2: it's been the story today. Shudoor Sanders just had a 731 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:51,919 Speaker 2: catastrophic day today in his final preseason game three to six, 732 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:56,040 Speaker 2: passing fourteen yards, sacked five times for forty one yards 733 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,280 Speaker 2: and losses. This despite the fact that every other quarterback 734 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 2: for the Browns play well. Flacco played well, Dylan Gabriel 735 00:39:03,080 --> 00:39:06,440 Speaker 2: played well, Tyler Huntley played well on the final drive. 736 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:11,120 Speaker 2: But after the game, apparently we do have some audio 737 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:16,640 Speaker 2: here of Shador Sanders talked about being yanked from that 738 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,839 Speaker 2: final drive of the game where you know, he could 739 00:39:18,840 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 2: have redeemed himself. Instead, they threw in Tyler Huntley, who 740 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,919 Speaker 2: did lead the Browns to a game winning field goal. 741 00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:28,719 Speaker 2: But here was Shadoor Sanders to that decision. 742 00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:34,520 Speaker 14: Guy, Yeah, I didn't know I was out. Yeah, I 743 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,640 Speaker 14: didn't know I was. You know, I was on the bike. 744 00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:37,600 Speaker 4: I was powering up. 745 00:39:38,280 --> 00:39:39,959 Speaker 14: You know, I was powering up for that two minute 746 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,279 Speaker 14: drive because you know, that's just the situation every point 747 00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:46,839 Speaker 14: that dreams for as many situations I've been more thought 748 00:39:46,840 --> 00:39:49,560 Speaker 14: it I was in. So then he told me I 749 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:50,560 Speaker 14: wasn't in another go go. 750 00:39:52,360 --> 00:39:55,399 Speaker 2: Okay, So he was ready to go, I thought at 751 00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 2: the end of the game, after the Rams scored to 752 00:39:57,080 --> 00:40:00,200 Speaker 2: take the lead, Okay, should will get an opportunity now 753 00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,120 Speaker 2: to save his day. Instead, he gets benched for Tyler Huntley, 754 00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:08,200 Speaker 2: who they just picked up after Kenny Pika got hurt. 755 00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 2: So what is the message that Kevin Stefanskia gave Shador 756 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,600 Speaker 2: Sanders in an absolutely meaningless preseason game to bench him 757 00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:17,600 Speaker 2: for that final drive. 758 00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:21,520 Speaker 13: I think I think you just showed him you don't 759 00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:22,680 Speaker 13: have what it takes right now. 760 00:40:23,440 --> 00:40:26,439 Speaker 3: Right, Well, they have to make a personnel decision, yeah, Nikki. 761 00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:30,080 Speaker 13: And apparently Shador in his postgame presser held himself well 762 00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:34,560 Speaker 13: right and took accountability. And so I don't know if 763 00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,799 Speaker 13: his futures in Cleveland, I'd kind of be shocked if 764 00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,040 Speaker 13: he's on that fifty three man roster after today. 765 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 2: I guess you could throw him on the practice squad, 766 00:40:44,520 --> 00:40:46,640 Speaker 2: which will him open to any team that wants to 767 00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,720 Speaker 2: add him to their fifty three man roster. But yeah, 768 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:53,720 Speaker 2: that was that was in his face. He handled it well, 769 00:40:53,760 --> 00:40:55,480 Speaker 2: all right. We got much more as we have the 770 00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,520 Speaker 2: final week of the NFL preseason, going to break it 771 00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,080 Speaker 2: down right here on Fox Sports Saturday. 772 00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:07,000 Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio rolling along here 773 00:41:07,040 --> 00:41:09,400 Speaker 1: on another fabulous Sports Saturday. 774 00:41:09,440 --> 00:41:10,760 Speaker 3: This is Fox Sports Saturday. 775 00:41:10,800 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 2: We're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

One of the big 782 00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:37,719 Speaker 2: stories obviously is Aaron Rodgers is quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers. 783 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,920 Speaker 2: I don't know if you saw this, but his helmet 784 00:41:39,960 --> 00:41:44,400 Speaker 2: doesn't fit properly. Did you see this helmet situation? 785 00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:44,680 Speaker 4: No? 786 00:41:45,000 --> 00:41:46,439 Speaker 13: It am I going to act. 787 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,120 Speaker 3: So they introduce what they are. 788 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:52,799 Speaker 2: It's called a new helmet, and basically it makes his 789 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:58,880 Speaker 2: head look like a p head in an oversized helmet 790 00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:03,239 Speaker 2: and he's not half and he's like one. It makes 791 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:07,040 Speaker 2: me look ridiculous. And he's all about appearance, as you know. 792 00:42:08,040 --> 00:42:10,640 Speaker 2: And he's not comfortable with his helmet. 793 00:42:10,760 --> 00:42:15,280 Speaker 3: As you know. He has always had the single chin strap. 794 00:42:15,440 --> 00:42:17,399 Speaker 5: He is a shut helmet for most of his career, 795 00:42:17,440 --> 00:42:19,959 Speaker 5: and they said it wasn't that he couldn't use it anymore. 796 00:42:19,719 --> 00:42:24,279 Speaker 2: Right, so he can't use the helmet that he wants. 797 00:42:24,320 --> 00:42:27,200 Speaker 13: He described it looking like a damn spaceship. 798 00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:31,560 Speaker 3: Correct, he doesn't. So his head looks so tiny in 799 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:37,640 Speaker 3: this giant helmet. And the worst thing for him is 800 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 3: not the practicality or safety measure they an't care about, 801 00:42:41,080 --> 00:42:44,640 Speaker 3: it's how do I look in this helmet? So he 802 00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:45,680 Speaker 3: doesn't look good. 803 00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,600 Speaker 13: It looks like okay, so the shut AIRXP pro Q 804 00:42:49,680 --> 00:42:53,960 Speaker 13: eleven Limited, Yes, that was the band model.

My favorite was the fact that his self serving. 825 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:06,880 Speaker 2: Document Enigma was comical in the sense that he is 826 00:44:06,960 --> 00:44:11,160 Speaker 2: the most transparent person I think, possibly imagine he's anything but. 827 00:44:11,200 --> 00:44:13,200 Speaker 13: In enigma exactly exactly. 828 00:44:13,440 --> 00:44:17,320 Speaker 3: I mean, he is the polar opposite of an enigma. 829 00:44:17,480 --> 00:44:20,640 Speaker 2: He may think he's presenting an enigma, but he's the 830 00:44:20,760 --> 00:44:22,239 Speaker 2: easiest reading in a room. 831 00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:25,400 Speaker 13: You can read him like a book like And there 832 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:29,240 Speaker 13: is nothing in my in my opinion as a woman, 833 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:33,280 Speaker 13: more comical than a man who takes himself so seriously 834 00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:38,480 Speaker 13: and presenting that era of mystery that it becomes it's 835 00:44:38,560 --> 00:44:42,920 Speaker 13: like a bit right, you know, he's upholding this identity 836 00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:46,160 Speaker 13: that we all I would say, we all can you 837 00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:47,360 Speaker 13: know see right through? 838 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 10: Right? 839 00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:53,320 Speaker 3: I mean, You're not an enigma. You are creating a facade. 840 00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:56,040 Speaker 3: You're not true to yourself. Whatever you are, we know. 841 00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:56,520 Speaker 4: Who you are. 842 00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:02,440 Speaker 2: You are an egomaniac, you are completely self absorbed individual. 843 00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:03,719 Speaker 2: He basically cut. 844 00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:06,719 Speaker 3: Off his entire family. Who does that? 845 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:13,080 Speaker 2: So, I mean this is a completely self consumed individual, 846 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:20,400 Speaker 2: which on a football team is complicated because as the quarterback. 847 00:45:19,800 --> 00:45:21,840 Speaker 3: You need to be a leader on the team. 848 00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:25,440 Speaker 2: But if everything is about you, it makes it very 849 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:27,920 Speaker 2: difficult to lead men into battle. 850 00:45:27,960 --> 00:45:29,520 Speaker 3: He said, well, look at all the success he had 851 00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:30,200 Speaker 3: in Green Bay. 852 00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:33,200 Speaker 2: I know this with all the numbers he produced in 853 00:45:33,239 --> 00:45:35,759 Speaker 2: Green Bay because obviously he has immense talent and throwing 854 00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:36,400 Speaker 2: the football. 855 00:45:36,760 --> 00:45:38,319 Speaker 3: The fact that he only played in. 856 00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:45,800 Speaker 2: A single Super Bowl one his entire career, he lost 857 00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:50,640 Speaker 2: four conference championship games, one step away from getting there. 858 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:52,920 Speaker 3: Again. 859 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,839 Speaker 2: When you talk about the all time greats, and there 860 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,320 Speaker 2: are still people who say he's the most talented quarterback 861 00:45:58,360 --> 00:45:59,239 Speaker 2: that ever played the game? 862 00:45:59,719 --> 00:46:00,800 Speaker 3: Does make him the best? 863 00:46:01,120 --> 00:46:04,640 Speaker 13: Right? Well? And I you know, I want to touch 864 00:46:04,680 --> 00:46:06,759 Speaker 13: on something you were saying about leadership there. I was 865 00:46:06,800 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 13: listening to an interview with Clark Hunt, the owner of 866 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,880 Speaker 13: the Kansas City Chiefs, and he said, you know, he 867 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:17,759 Speaker 13: finds that teams are our best when your best players 868 00:46:17,800 --> 00:46:18,920 Speaker 13: are your leaders. 869 00:46:18,960 --> 00:46:19,320 Speaker 4: Correct. 870 00:46:19,320 --> 00:46:22,560 Speaker 13: Also, right, So it makes sense, it makes sense. I 871 00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:25,959 Speaker 13: just think I haven't been in a locker room where 872 00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,919 Speaker 13: Aaron Rodgers, you know, is in, but I don't. It's 873 00:46:31,080 --> 00:46:34,640 Speaker 13: it's hard imagining the way he presents the media being 874 00:46:34,680 --> 00:46:38,880 Speaker 13: the type of leader when you talk about his legacy 875 00:46:39,080 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 13: and the talent and the leadership he brings. I don't 876 00:46:43,080 --> 00:46:47,000 Speaker 13: know if that's on the on the top, you know 877 00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:51,080 Speaker 13: description of Aaron Rodgers the quarterback. 878 00:46:51,320 --> 00:46:53,319 Speaker 2: Right, all you have to do is go back a 879 00:46:53,400 --> 00:46:57,440 Speaker 2: year ago. Okay, so obviously two years ago his season 880 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 2: ended four plays in, so that's a non season. So 881 00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:07,400 Speaker 2: last year with the Jets, he started all seventeen games, 882 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:15,440 Speaker 2: twenty eight touchdowns, eleven interceptions, not too bad, completed sixty 883 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:17,839 Speaker 2: three percent of his passes. Not at the level he's 884 00:47:17,880 --> 00:47:22,200 Speaker 2: been at, but still not a disaster. His passer rating 885 00:47:22,440 --> 00:47:24,920 Speaker 2: was ninety point five. It's not in the hundreds, but 886 00:47:24,960 --> 00:47:29,759 Speaker 2: again not disastrous. And yet his Jets team was five 887 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:36,719 Speaker 2: and twelve. Okay, so you're putting up not terrible numbers, 888 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:44,120 Speaker 2: decent numbers, but whatever you're doing is not translating to the. 889 00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:50,799 Speaker 3: Rest of the team. As a leader, your position is 890 00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,600 Speaker 3: to raise the level of everybody's game because you're the 891 00:47:54,680 --> 00:48:00,359 Speaker 3: leader of the team. So the fact is he did 892 00:48:00,400 --> 00:48:01,320 Speaker 3: not raise. 893 00:48:01,120 --> 00:48:04,680 Speaker 2: The level of anyone's play with the Jets last year, 894 00:48:05,040 --> 00:48:08,719 Speaker 2: which is why, despite the fact that he had decent numbers, 895 00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:12,520 Speaker 2: it did not translate into wins for the Jets. 896 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:15,600 Speaker 3: So I've been one of those people that looked at 897 00:48:15,600 --> 00:48:18,279 Speaker 3: the Steelers because you know, Mike Tomlins never had a 898 00:48:18,320 --> 00:48:21,720 Speaker 3: losing season, and they're over Runders like eight and a half. 899 00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:23,399 Speaker 2: So they're like, you know, a lot of people don't 900 00:48:23,440 --> 00:48:26,359 Speaker 2: believe that Aaron Rodgers can get him across the finish line. 901 00:48:26,360 --> 00:48:28,520 Speaker 2: I'm like, wait a second, Aaron Rodgers is better than 902 00:48:29,280 --> 00:48:32,640 Speaker 2: justin fields or whatever they got last year. You know, 903 00:48:32,719 --> 00:48:35,400 Speaker 2: certainly Ben Roethlisberger at the end of his career, Kenny Peckett. 904 00:48:35,440 --> 00:48:37,839 Speaker 2: Come on, I mean, Aaron Rodgers is still a better 905 00:48:37,920 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 2: quarterback than those guys. And now you take a step 906 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:42,840 Speaker 2: back and like, all he's worried about. 907 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:45,040 Speaker 3: Right now is how his helmet fits and how his 908 00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,520 Speaker 3: helmet looks on him. If you're his teammateer, Like, dude, 909 00:48:49,600 --> 00:48:51,200 Speaker 3: we got a season coming up. 910 00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:56,000 Speaker 13: You know what we call that Steve an enigma. Have 911 00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 13: you watched any of the Cowboys documentary a little bit? Yes, 912 00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:03,960 Speaker 13: I haven't started it yet, but I've heard it's really good. 913 00:49:04,760 --> 00:49:08,400 Speaker 2: I told you, Nikki, I have no reason to believe 914 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:11,040 Speaker 2: because people are saying, well, do you think that Michael 915 00:49:11,080 --> 00:49:13,520 Speaker 2: Parsons And this is my actually, my first question is 916 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:15,560 Speaker 2: going to be coming up for Adam is going to 917 00:49:15,600 --> 00:49:18,439 Speaker 2: be the Micah Parson situation. Do you believe he'll be there, 918 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:21,680 Speaker 2: you know, for that opening game against Eagles? And I do, 919 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,920 Speaker 2: and I for some for the life of me, I 920 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,160 Speaker 2: don't know why I think the Cowboys are going to 921 00:49:27,200 --> 00:49:32,560 Speaker 2: surprise people this year because it's been disaster my eyes. 922 00:49:32,760 --> 00:49:34,879 Speaker 13: Well, I hear this every year. 923 00:49:35,160 --> 00:49:38,440 Speaker 3: No, last year I picked him to win the Super Bowl. Oh, Steve, 924 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,080 Speaker 3: they were coming off what thirteen win seasons. They I 925 00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 3: felt like, you know what, they're do their due, They're due, 926 00:49:45,239 --> 00:49:46,279 Speaker 3: and then they go seven and. 927 00:49:46,239 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 13: Tis no buy it just the way I mean technically Texas. 928 00:49:51,719 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 2: Is by the way in this show, because I had 929 00:49:54,520 --> 00:49:58,600 Speaker 2: one of our reporters from KTLA, she went down to 930 00:49:59,200 --> 00:50:03,320 Speaker 2: interview Jerry Jones by the way. Jerry immediately talked about 931 00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,760 Speaker 2: how attractive she was. He goes, wow, you're really pretty. 932 00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:10,359 Speaker 3: She said that. You know, like it's like, well, he's 933 00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,000 Speaker 3: this eighty year old man like this, who dies? I mean, 934 00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:18,080 Speaker 3: but this is Jerry Jones right? That was his first. 935 00:50:16,680 --> 00:50:19,719 Speaker 2: Yeah, like you're really You're really pretty. She was telling 936 00:50:19,760 --> 00:50:22,879 Speaker 2: me that. She asked me what should I ask? I said, well, 937 00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,319 Speaker 2: why didn't you ask him this question? How can they 938 00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:28,319 Speaker 2: still have the label of America's team when not only 939 00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,399 Speaker 2: have they not won a Super Bowl in thirty years, 940 00:50:30,440 --> 00:50:33,600 Speaker 2: they haven't even been to the conference championship game in 941 00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:37,440 Speaker 2: thirty years. How do you maintain that label as America's 942 00:50:37,560 --> 00:50:42,240 Speaker 2: team when you have the one jack in three decades? 943 00:50:42,360 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 13: Okay, I got I got a good one. I saw 944 00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:46,960 Speaker 13: this video on on social media where a girlfriend was 945 00:50:47,000 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 13: purposely trolling her boyfriend. Her boyfriend's in Dallas Cowboys hat sweatshirt. 946 00:50:52,920 --> 00:50:55,480 Speaker 13: They're on the couch and she's videoing him without him knowing, 947 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,120 Speaker 13: and she goes, hey, you know, gosh, why are VHS 948 00:50:59,239 --> 00:51:02,279 Speaker 13: players so exc defensive? And he goes, why do you 949 00:51:02,320 --> 00:51:04,400 Speaker 13: need a VHS player? And she goes, oh, just I 950 00:51:05,200 --> 00:51:07,399 Speaker 13: can only watch you know the one thing I want 951 00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:09,320 Speaker 13: to watch, It can only be played on a VHS. 952 00:51:09,360 --> 00:51:12,319 Speaker 13: He goes, we can watch anything, Like, what do you 953 00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:15,560 Speaker 13: need a VHS player for?

I wanted to watch 956 00:51:20,760 --> 00:51:22,880 Speaker 13: the last time the Cowboys. 957 00:51:24,360 --> 00:51:27,160 Speaker 3: I mean, how are they still relevant? 958 00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:27,680 Speaker 13: Right? 959 00:51:28,360 --> 00:51:31,800 Speaker 2: Well, they're relevant because they have an outrageous owner, Jerry Jones, 960 00:51:32,360 --> 00:51:37,880 Speaker 2: who again sealed the fate of his franchise by getting 961 00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:41,799 Speaker 2: Jimmy Johnson to leave. If Jimmy Johnson had stayed, Troy 962 00:51:41,840 --> 00:51:44,640 Speaker 2: Aikman will talk about this at nauseum. We would not 963 00:51:44,760 --> 00:51:46,840 Speaker 2: only have won three straight Super bowl we could have 964 00:51:46,920 --> 00:51:48,359 Speaker 2: won five straight Super Bowls. 965 00:51:48,400 --> 00:51:48,799 Speaker 3: Remember this. 966 00:51:49,040 --> 00:51:50,879 Speaker 2: When they won that first Super Bowl, they were the 967 00:51:50,920 --> 00:51:54,200 Speaker 2: youngest team in the NFL. You'd have free agency like 968 00:51:54,239 --> 00:51:58,360 Speaker 2: you have nowadays. That team was fully loaded, and. 969 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:01,600 Speaker 3: He bringing Barry Switzer. Berry's Witzer, really Barry Switzer. 970 00:52:02,000 --> 00:52:04,239 Speaker 2: Yeah, they got one super Bowl out of it in 971 00:52:04,320 --> 00:52:08,399 Speaker 2: spite of Barry Switzer, and ever since then nothing but yeah, 972 00:52:08,400 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 2: that was that was her introduction to Jerry Jones. 973 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:13,560 Speaker 3: He was glathering all over her house. Bready she was. 974 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:20,800 Speaker 13: Did you see Micah Parsons pregame for this. He's walking 975 00:52:20,800 --> 00:52:23,760 Speaker 13: through the tunnel eating nachos. Yeah, and then just laying 976 00:52:23,880 --> 00:52:26,000 Speaker 13: on the warm up table on the sideline. 977 00:52:26,040 --> 00:52:28,440 Speaker 3: Well he's there, he doesn't want to get fine. He's there. 978 00:52:28,560 --> 00:52:31,879 Speaker 13: Yeah, he's hurt, and apparently some fan yells at him 979 00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:34,680 Speaker 13: you come to Atlanta because the Cowboys are playing with 980 00:52:34,719 --> 00:52:38,160 Speaker 13: the Falcons. And he holds up his like a phone 981 00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,400 Speaker 13: to his ear, being like call me. 982 00:52:39,760 --> 00:52:39,920 Speaker 12: You know. 983 00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:42,920 Speaker 2: Well, all of this is reason to believe that the 984 00:52:43,080 --> 00:52:46,600 Speaker 2: Cowboys are in for a disastrous season, which is why 985 00:52:46,600 --> 00:52:47,879 Speaker 2: I always go the opposite way. 986 00:52:47,880 --> 00:52:49,920 Speaker 3: It's going to be a surprisingly good season.

Obviously, 1011 00:54:06,560 --> 00:54:09,759 Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel played well, Joe Flacco played well, and then 1012 00:54:09,800 --> 00:54:14,400 Speaker 2: they bench Shdor Sanders in a meaningless preseason game to 1013 00:54:14,480 --> 00:54:17,200 Speaker 2: bring in Tyler Huntley, who would lead them on a 1014 00:54:17,239 --> 00:54:20,640 Speaker 2: final drive for a game winning field goal. I mean, 1015 00:54:20,760 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 2: based on what I saw today and based on him 1016 00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:27,560 Speaker 2: getting benched for a final drive that could have redeemed him. 1017 00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:30,560 Speaker 2: And he said afterwards he was ready to go. Tells 1018 00:54:30,600 --> 00:54:32,640 Speaker 2: me that he has played his last snap as a 1019 00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:36,600 Speaker 2: Cleveland Brown, I mean, what he So are they gonna 1020 00:54:36,719 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 2: are they gonna keep Dylan Gabriel and Shoudoor Sanders yeah. 1021 00:54:40,400 --> 00:54:42,320 Speaker 4: I felt all along. They keep four quarterbacks. 1022 00:54:42,360 --> 00:54:45,200 Speaker 15: Obviously Watson won't play this season, Tyler Huntley won't be 1023 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,359 Speaker 15: with them. That's kind of been there playing the whole time. 1024 00:54:47,400 --> 00:54:49,040 Speaker 15: Now the Browns are here a couple. 1025 00:54:48,760 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 4: Of weeks ago, so I you know. 1026 00:54:50,600 --> 00:54:52,719 Speaker 15: I learned kind a lot from being around them for 1027 00:54:52,719 --> 00:54:55,399 Speaker 15: two days. Dylan Gabriel s, boy, he's he got off 1028 00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:58,360 Speaker 15: the very rough starting camp. Look great in the preseason 1029 00:54:58,360 --> 00:55:01,879 Speaker 15: game against Philly here, very good. Today's timing is good 1030 00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:06,120 Speaker 15: right now, he's and you've got, of course, you got 1031 00:55:06,360 --> 00:55:08,960 Speaker 15: Kenny Pickett who has had this hamstring injury. 1032 00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:12,920 Speaker 4: He's just coming back. Yeah, it's they want to develop centers. 1033 00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:13,959 Speaker 4: This is my understanding. Steve. 1034 00:55:13,960 --> 00:55:15,799 Speaker 3: I'm just gonna why would they bench him on that 1035 00:55:15,840 --> 00:55:16,439 Speaker 3: final drive? 1036 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:18,360 Speaker 15: Because you just out on it. You just gave the 1037 00:55:18,400 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 15: answer to the tests. He struggled vitally. They as bad 1038 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:24,560 Speaker 15: as a look, you could go against fifth teamers. If 1039 00:55:24,600 --> 00:55:27,239 Speaker 15: it's so bad that you can't get out of your 1040 00:55:27,239 --> 00:55:28,120 Speaker 15: own way, you know. 1041 00:55:28,120 --> 00:55:30,279 Speaker 4: You just get the guy on the football game. Now. 1042 00:55:30,400 --> 00:55:32,000 Speaker 4: They want to develop this player. 1043 00:55:32,640 --> 00:55:35,960 Speaker 15: The player had from a talent standpoint, third or fourth 1044 00:55:36,040 --> 00:55:39,000 Speaker 15: round grades. That's what I was told. The problem is immaturity, 1045 00:55:39,040 --> 00:55:41,399 Speaker 15: you know, with the speeding ticket. He needs to grow 1046 00:55:41,480 --> 00:55:42,800 Speaker 15: up and he needs to be developed. 1047 00:55:42,800 --> 00:55:42,960 Speaker 11: Now. 1048 00:55:43,040 --> 00:55:44,920 Speaker 15: He also had the quadrceups injury which he missed over 1049 00:55:44,960 --> 00:55:48,520 Speaker 15: week of practice. That definitely hurt him. But they really 1050 00:55:48,520 --> 00:55:51,520 Speaker 15: do want to develop him. That that was what I 1051 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:54,640 Speaker 15: was told. I feel pretty good about the information I 1052 00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 15: got at sure, could they change your mind, Steve, if 1053 00:55:56,200 --> 00:55:58,000 Speaker 15: anything to changed her mind, but that was where they 1054 00:55:58,040 --> 00:55:58,319 Speaker 15: were at. 1055 00:55:58,160 --> 00:55:59,080 Speaker 4: At the beginning of the week. 1056 00:56:01,239 --> 00:56:05,080 Speaker 13: Adam, I I will pick up where Steve did not. 1057 00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:09,360 Speaker 13: But the Micah Parsons Michaeh Parsons moment, I got a 1058 00:56:09,360 --> 00:56:11,600 Speaker 13: lot of stuff here, but go have we no layd 1059 00:56:11,680 --> 00:56:14,759 Speaker 13: out there? I mean, I'm curious what Jerry's angle is. 1060 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,520 Speaker 13: I'm curious where this is going. Are we going to 1061 00:56:17,560 --> 00:56:21,560 Speaker 13: see Micah play for the Dallas Cowboys this season? What's 1062 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:22,120 Speaker 13: gonna happen? 1063 00:56:22,160 --> 00:56:25,319 Speaker 15: Well, Nikki, here's the latest. Now, this just this is 1064 00:56:25,400 --> 00:56:27,160 Speaker 15: and I don't even know if it's well. I mean, 1065 00:56:27,400 --> 00:56:30,160 Speaker 15: he's gonna have m Riah on his back, spells to 1066 00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:35,120 Speaker 15: have a back problem now. Uh So, basically my job 1067 00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:37,120 Speaker 15: is called down the middle. I don't take sides, you know, 1068 00:56:37,160 --> 00:56:39,000 Speaker 15: I don't care who wins or loses. It's not my 1069 00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:43,879 Speaker 15: job as a reporter, but this is this for Jerry 1070 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:45,520 Speaker 15: what what Jerry Jones has made it. 1071 00:56:45,800 --> 00:56:48,880 Speaker 4: He's handled the situation so poorly like this. 1072 00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:51,400 Speaker 15: This is, as one person said to me, league, this 1073 00:56:51,520 --> 00:56:53,719 Speaker 15: is next level for Jerry, the way that he's handled it. 1074 00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:57,759 Speaker 15: He's insulted players from last year who got hurt, like 1075 00:56:57,880 --> 00:57:01,759 Speaker 15: Dak Prescott. He's insulted Mikah Parsons, who he thought a 1076 00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,000 Speaker 15: lot of people around the Cowboys. I've always told me 1077 00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:06,040 Speaker 15: that he's had a very good relationship with Micah. I've 1078 00:57:06,080 --> 00:57:09,719 Speaker 15: had a pretty pretty good player owner and general manager 1079 00:57:09,760 --> 00:57:11,720 Speaker 15: Slash Yew and a manager because not only is Jerry 1080 00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,160 Speaker 15: owned the team, but he's also the general manager Nikky So. 1081 00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,560 Speaker 15: But basically because what happened, what's happened here is Micah's 1082 00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:20,919 Speaker 15: really upset at Jerry because he's insulted him. Now, as 1083 00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,880 Speaker 15: we know with Miles Garrett, if you just pay the guy, 1084 00:57:23,880 --> 00:57:28,440 Speaker 15: it's all, don't cares. So now that was never that personal. 1085 00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:31,560 Speaker 15: It's just that he wanted to He kind of Miles Garrett, 1086 00:57:31,840 --> 00:57:34,400 Speaker 15: basically all of the quarterbacks just for the Browns. Is 1087 00:57:34,520 --> 00:57:37,160 Speaker 15: I want to say Quagmire they they they had a 1088 00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:38,840 Speaker 15: pretty aggresive free agency and so forth. 1089 00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:40,680 Speaker 4: So I think Miles probably pretty happy about it. 1090 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:45,080 Speaker 15: But getting back to Michael Parsons here, this is in 1091 00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:47,320 Speaker 15: twenty seven years to cover this business. I've not seen 1092 00:57:47,440 --> 00:57:49,240 Speaker 15: I've seen negotiations. 1093 00:57:49,280 --> 00:57:49,600 Speaker 4: Steve. 1094 00:57:50,800 --> 00:57:53,480 Speaker 15: Like when Charles Woodson I was at the combine, it 1095 00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 15: was like eleven o'clock at night. I think they put 1096 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:59,040 Speaker 15: the tag on him because the negotiats were not going anywhay. 1097 00:57:59,080 --> 00:58:00,000 Speaker 4: They put an angry. 1098 00:57:59,800 --> 00:58:02,440 Speaker 15: St statement out late at night and I'm like, what 1099 00:58:02,600 --> 00:58:04,080 Speaker 15: is this? Aid my email? I'm like, why did they 1100 00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 15: putting a statement out? We're putting the franchise tag on 1101 00:58:06,440 --> 00:58:08,400 Speaker 15: That was all. It was all in the statement. But 1102 00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,120 Speaker 15: this thing that Jerry Jones has done is next level, 1103 00:58:11,160 --> 00:58:15,320 Speaker 15: totally petty, unnecessary. Now, the agent, David Mulligatt is probably 1104 00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:19,320 Speaker 15: a top three contract agent, is denied and basically through 1105 00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,600 Speaker 15: I forget what report that was. I want to give 1106 00:58:21,600 --> 00:58:23,200 Speaker 15: the personal credit, but I remember seeing who it was, 1107 00:58:23,240 --> 00:58:26,160 Speaker 15: but basically he put quotes out that what Jerry said 1108 00:58:26,200 --> 00:58:28,919 Speaker 15: was total nonsense about oh, he told them to get 1109 00:58:28,920 --> 00:58:31,160 Speaker 15: lost and you know he didn't want to do the deal. 1110 00:58:31,560 --> 00:58:35,520 Speaker 15: So Steve, it's totally unnecessary. It doesn't have to be 1111 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,920 Speaker 15: like this. Why would you want to tagonize your best players? 1112 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,680 Speaker 15: To me makes no sense. I want to ask you 1113 00:58:41,680 --> 00:58:43,960 Speaker 15: this question, Steve, and you dealt without Davis as you know, 1114 00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 15: being in PR and covering the business. As long as 1115 00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 15: you have all sports, I'm sure you have stories. The 1116 00:58:49,840 --> 00:58:52,200 Speaker 15: were you around from Marcus, Allen and al daois problems? 1117 00:58:52,480 --> 00:58:52,680 Speaker 3: Yeah? 1118 00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:55,520 Speaker 4: Can us that? Can you give us that one? 1119 00:58:56,080 --> 00:58:57,200 Speaker 3: I'm going to give you a good story. 1120 00:58:57,240 --> 00:58:59,280 Speaker 4: Please do, because it's an unbelievable for those don't know. 1121 00:59:00,240 --> 00:59:02,320 Speaker 2: Eighty five a year that Marcus would end up being 1122 00:59:02,360 --> 00:59:04,640 Speaker 2: the league's MVP, led the league in rushing that year. 1123 00:59:05,360 --> 00:59:08,479 Speaker 2: We opened the season at home against a bad Jets team, 1124 00:59:08,480 --> 00:59:11,680 Speaker 2: blitz them thirty one to nothing. And then we have 1125 00:59:11,720 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 2: a Thursday road game the next week at Kansas City, 1126 00:59:15,640 --> 00:59:19,120 Speaker 2: which is not easy, right, You got a Sunday game 1127 00:59:19,160 --> 00:59:21,120 Speaker 2: at home, and now you got a Thursday road. 1128 00:59:20,920 --> 00:59:22,720 Speaker 4: Game and it's their biggest rival Jet. 1129 00:59:22,760 --> 00:59:27,040 Speaker 2: So we go to Kansas City and we crap in 1130 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:30,720 Speaker 2: our pants in the second half. So the way it worked, 1131 00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:34,640 Speaker 2: anyone that's been to Arrowheads, it's a drive from Arrowhead 1132 00:59:34,680 --> 00:59:35,320 Speaker 2: to the airports. 1133 00:59:35,320 --> 00:59:37,840 Speaker 3: It's a long drive. Right. So one of my many 1134 00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:40,840 Speaker 3: jobs when I was working with the Raiders was when 1135 00:59:40,880 --> 00:59:43,280 Speaker 3: we were on the road. We had four buses that 1136 00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,760 Speaker 3: would take the team everybody back to the airport, and 1137 00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:48,200 Speaker 3: I had to be the guy on the last bus, 1138 00:59:48,400 --> 00:59:50,800 Speaker 3: so I had to make sure we don't leave anybody behind. Right. 1139 00:59:51,680 --> 00:59:54,120 Speaker 2: So we got a few players, including Marcus, on this 1140 00:59:54,160 --> 00:59:56,800 Speaker 2: bus and I'm ready to say let's go when I 1141 00:59:56,840 --> 00:59:57,840 Speaker 2: hear this, wait. 1142 00:59:59,400 --> 01:00:00,000 Speaker 3: Al David. 1143 01:00:00,440 --> 01:00:03,120 Speaker 2: Now normally mister Davis would be on the first bus, 1144 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:05,600 Speaker 2: but I guess he was talking to people, and of 1145 01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:08,360 Speaker 2: course the players look out, especially after a bad loss, 1146 01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,640 Speaker 2: like this is the last guy we want on our bus. 1147 01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,880 Speaker 3: So I was sitting. All the seats are taken by players. 1148 01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,360 Speaker 3: There was like a side bench right as you walked 1149 01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:21,040 Speaker 3: on the buds that I was sitting on, and to 1150 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:24,560 Speaker 3: my right sitting was Marcus Allen. The only place where 1151 01:00:24,560 --> 01:00:27,960 Speaker 3: mister Davis was sitting was to my left. So picture this. 1152 01:00:28,040 --> 01:00:28,680 Speaker 3: He got Al. 1153 01:00:28,600 --> 01:00:31,680 Speaker 2: Davis, me and Marcus Allen's sitting three across on its 1154 01:00:31,760 --> 01:00:35,920 Speaker 2: bench and it's like a forty minute ride. So the 1155 01:00:36,320 --> 01:00:41,520 Speaker 2: bus takes off and there's not a sound on this bus. 1156 01:00:42,240 --> 01:00:45,760 Speaker 3: I mean not a sound like. It's completely silent. 1157 01:00:46,840 --> 01:00:49,320 Speaker 2: Then because he's on the bus, no one is saying 1158 01:00:49,320 --> 01:00:51,880 Speaker 2: a word, so I'm just looking straight ahead. So I 1159 01:00:51,920 --> 01:00:54,320 Speaker 2: got Al Davis to my left, Marcus Allen to my rule. 1160 01:00:54,600 --> 01:00:55,720 Speaker 4: It was Tom Floris's the head coach. 1161 01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:57,360 Speaker 3: Who was Tom Flores is the head coach. 1162 01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,360 Speaker 2: So we're driving along, not a sound, and all of 1163 01:01:00,400 --> 01:01:03,479 Speaker 2: a sudden, mister Davis looks, I'm like, not even there, 1164 01:01:03,600 --> 01:01:06,480 Speaker 2: Like he's I'm like, not even there. He looks and 1165 01:01:06,960 --> 01:01:12,479 Speaker 2: he looks at Marcus and he says, oh, no, what 1166 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:14,280 Speaker 2: the f happened out there? 1167 01:01:14,640 --> 01:01:15,120 Speaker 4: Oh? 1168 01:01:15,560 --> 01:01:19,680 Speaker 2: And he used the word liberally beck in those and 1169 01:01:19,840 --> 01:01:23,040 Speaker 2: Marcus without hesitation. Again, it's like I'm in the middle, 1170 01:01:23,040 --> 01:01:28,040 Speaker 2: but like I'm not there. Marcus Turney goes. We lost, 1171 01:01:29,840 --> 01:01:33,760 Speaker 2: and I could literally feel the heat generating. 1172 01:01:33,160 --> 01:01:35,600 Speaker 3: Off of Al Davis, Like literally I could feel the 1173 01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:38,120 Speaker 3: heat and he doesn't. There's no response. 1174 01:01:38,200 --> 01:01:41,360 Speaker 2: Those are the only words said on the entire forty 1175 01:01:41,360 --> 01:01:43,640 Speaker 2: minute ride back to the airport. 1176 01:01:43,720 --> 01:01:46,520 Speaker 15: Steve, could you explain to Nikki in the audience, in 1177 01:01:46,560 --> 01:01:48,760 Speaker 15: your best words, what the issue between Al Davis and 1178 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:49,160 Speaker 15: I think? 1179 01:01:49,200 --> 01:01:50,600 Speaker 4: I know I'm not one hundred percent positive. 1180 01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:52,640 Speaker 3: Here is this? If you want to know that. 1181 01:01:53,480 --> 01:01:56,320 Speaker 2: So here's the thing. Al Davis was never comfortable with 1182 01:01:56,400 --> 01:01:59,880 Speaker 2: players whose star power was deemed above the Vaiders. This 1183 01:02:00,160 --> 01:02:03,480 Speaker 2: is why they traded Ken Stabler. So Ken Stabler have 1184 01:02:03,560 --> 01:02:06,080 Speaker 2: been the great quarterback Hall of Fame quarterback for the Raiders, 1185 01:02:06,440 --> 01:02:10,800 Speaker 2: and they trade him to the Houston Oilers for Dan Pasterini. 1186 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,080 Speaker 2: It was a bizarre swap of quarterbacks, but a lot 1187 01:02:14,120 --> 01:02:17,400 Speaker 2: of it had to do with Al Davis once described 1188 01:02:17,480 --> 01:02:21,200 Speaker 2: Ken Stabler as a passenger on a luxury liner. He 1189 01:02:21,200 --> 01:02:23,640 Speaker 2: didn't give him any credit for the fact that he 1190 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:25,920 Speaker 2: was the first quarterback, by the way, to bring his 1191 01:02:25,960 --> 01:02:28,880 Speaker 2: team to five straight conference championship games. It was a 1192 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,840 Speaker 2: very similar situation with Marcus, who was, by the way, 1193 01:02:31,960 --> 01:02:35,800 Speaker 2: the consummate team player. In fact, his teammates voted him 1194 01:02:36,160 --> 01:02:39,960 Speaker 2: like their best teammate five years in a row, much 1195 01:02:39,960 --> 01:02:42,800 Speaker 2: of the chagrin of Al Davis. So it didn't come 1196 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:45,800 Speaker 2: from Marcus. It was something that was in the head 1197 01:02:45,800 --> 01:02:46,520 Speaker 2: of mister Davis. 1198 01:02:46,560 --> 01:02:48,920 Speaker 3: It was all from now right, and in a lot 1199 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:50,880 Speaker 3: of ways, it's like what we talk about with Jerry Jones, 1200 01:02:50,920 --> 01:02:54,080 Speaker 3: where they're creating their own reality, you know. And he 1201 01:02:54,160 --> 01:02:56,280 Speaker 3: used to I mean, I could tell stories all day. 1202 01:02:56,320 --> 01:02:58,520 Speaker 15: I won't, but I wanted to ask you because you 1203 01:02:58,560 --> 01:03:00,320 Speaker 15: and I have known each other, We've never really talked 1204 01:03:00,320 --> 01:03:03,720 Speaker 15: about because you lived it. Yeah, I've really not met 1205 01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:07,080 Speaker 15: anyone who was there back then. I can recall, and 1206 01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:10,400 Speaker 15: that was an boy that storytelling. Steve was off the charge. 1207 01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:14,000 Speaker 13: I was captivated and I forgot how how you even. 1208 01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:15,880 Speaker 4: Got on that because of Jerry Jones. 1209 01:03:16,040 --> 01:03:17,880 Speaker 13: I know, I know, I was like, wait, I'm sitting 1210 01:03:17,880 --> 01:03:19,320 Speaker 13: on Jones. 1211 01:03:19,640 --> 01:03:22,320 Speaker 3: Jerry Jones looked at Al Davis as the way he 1212 01:03:22,360 --> 01:03:24,720 Speaker 3: wanted to run a team. Al Davis was an owner 1213 01:03:24,760 --> 01:03:27,200 Speaker 3: who was also the general manager of the team. That's 1214 01:03:27,240 --> 01:03:30,360 Speaker 3: what Jerry Jones wanted. Yep, the owner and also be 1215 01:03:30,480 --> 01:03:32,880 Speaker 3: the general manager. He got that from Al Davis. 1216 01:03:33,280 --> 01:03:38,320 Speaker 2: So yes, so I yeah, knowing it is a mess, 1217 01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:41,200 Speaker 2: all right, let me ask you about a potential mess. 1218 01:03:41,360 --> 01:03:43,600 Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers.

All right, so let's talk 1283 01:06:48,520 --> 01:06:51,920 Speaker 3: about the Aaron Rodgers situation. All we're talking about right 1284 01:06:51,960 --> 01:06:54,920 Speaker 3: now is his helmet doesn't fit right. He seems very uncomfortable. 1285 01:06:54,960 --> 01:06:57,880 Speaker 3: Once again, he's very vain and concerned about how he 1286 01:06:57,960 --> 01:06:59,760 Speaker 3: looks in this helmet, which, by the way, he doesn't 1287 01:06:59,800 --> 01:07:02,240 Speaker 3: look in that helmet. Bud that aside. 1288 01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:05,000 Speaker 2: Now that we are at the point where reality is 1289 01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:07,920 Speaker 2: setting in that he is going to be the starting 1290 01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,960 Speaker 2: quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers for a coach that has 1291 01:07:11,040 --> 01:07:14,600 Speaker 2: never had a losing season, how's this going to play 1292 01:07:14,600 --> 01:07:16,479 Speaker 2: out well? 1293 01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:18,200 Speaker 15: And also, by the way, the Steelers are not won 1294 01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,720 Speaker 15: to PLAYFF games since twenty sixteen, so you're talking about 1295 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 15: nearly ten seasons. 1296 01:07:22,320 --> 01:07:23,240 Speaker 4: How's it going to play out? 1297 01:07:23,240 --> 01:07:25,480 Speaker 15: Now? Talking to Steelers about Rogers and what's happening in 1298 01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,160 Speaker 15: their offensive training camp, it's just a timing issue. 1299 01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:28,320 Speaker 7: You know. 1300 01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:30,520 Speaker 15: They don't really have a number two receiver. Rowan Wilson 1301 01:07:30,560 --> 01:07:33,520 Speaker 15: will probably be it, who Rogers has talked up a lot. 1302 01:07:33,680 --> 01:07:36,080 Speaker 15: He was a third round last year, barely played. He 1303 01:07:36,120 --> 01:07:39,640 Speaker 15: had I'm told two injuries, high ankle sprain, a hamshring problem, 1304 01:07:39,680 --> 01:07:42,480 Speaker 15: so he was never ready. Calvin Austin, who's a smaller 1305 01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:45,080 Speaker 15: slot receiver, will also see some time, but they don't 1306 01:07:45,080 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 15: really have It's it's de Kit Metcalf. 1307 01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:48,600 Speaker 4: They're very happy with John O. 1308 01:07:48,720 --> 01:07:51,320 Speaker 15: Smith in the trade overcoming from Miami's look pretty good, 1309 01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:53,120 Speaker 15: and then Patt Frye move, so that's it. 1310 01:07:53,160 --> 01:07:54,520 Speaker 4: They don't have a great receiver corps. 1311 01:07:55,080 --> 01:07:57,040 Speaker 15: They believe their offensive line will be the best they've 1312 01:07:57,040 --> 01:07:59,000 Speaker 15: had in years, So it's gonna be a run based 1313 01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,240 Speaker 15: offense or not. They don't want to ask Rogers throw 1314 01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:02,640 Speaker 15: the ball a lot, and they think they can do 1315 01:08:02,720 --> 01:08:05,120 Speaker 15: that with their defense in the run game. They also 1316 01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,720 Speaker 15: think this is one of the better rosters they've had 1317 01:08:06,720 --> 01:08:09,560 Speaker 15: in years. So Steve, to answer your question, is they 1318 01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,800 Speaker 15: think it's gonna be a low volume pass game. They 1319 01:08:11,840 --> 01:08:13,880 Speaker 15: don't think they'll have to ask Rogers to win a 1320 01:08:13,920 --> 01:08:17,080 Speaker 15: lot of games for them. Easier said than done, but 1321 01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:18,240 Speaker 15: a lot of it's gonna have to start with a 1322 01:08:18,320 --> 01:08:20,360 Speaker 15: running game with Jalen Warren and Caleb Johnson. 1323 01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:24,799 Speaker 13: Their third round pick, Adam rock Party is no longer 1324 01:08:25,240 --> 01:08:29,720 Speaker 13: the best bargain in the NFL. Sure, and got a 1325 01:08:29,760 --> 01:08:33,800 Speaker 13: big pay raise this offseason, and deservedly so. But how 1326 01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:35,880 Speaker 13: does that how is that going to shift the way 1327 01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:41,519 Speaker 13: we talk about him and the expectations now, I mean, 1328 01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:44,920 Speaker 13: obviously it's always to win in San Francisco. But is 1329 01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:49,519 Speaker 13: that going to change maybe the pressure and the narrative 1330 01:08:49,560 --> 01:08:52,960 Speaker 13: around you know, Party was once the best Cinderella story 1331 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:55,920 Speaker 13: and yeah, and now and now he's getting paid, So 1332 01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:58,320 Speaker 13: does that is that going to change the discourse? 1333 01:08:59,360 --> 01:08:59,840 Speaker 4: Not really. 1334 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,360 Speaker 15: I mean from what I've been told from people who 1335 01:09:02,439 --> 01:09:04,840 Speaker 15: worked with him, he's a pretty steelyot guy and nothing 1336 01:09:04,880 --> 01:09:08,240 Speaker 15: seems to bother him. He people forget when he was 1337 01:09:08,280 --> 01:09:10,639 Speaker 15: a rookie, when he got thrusht into the starting job, 1338 01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:13,360 Speaker 15: and so many things had to happen. But once he 1339 01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,760 Speaker 15: got in there, he handled a really great road win 1340 01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,320 Speaker 15: at Seattle. I know people in scouting around the league 1341 01:09:19,320 --> 01:09:22,160 Speaker 15: who didn't not believe it all Party. They had to 1342 01:09:22,200 --> 01:09:23,519 Speaker 15: kind of give it up to the guy. And he's 1343 01:09:23,560 --> 01:09:27,080 Speaker 15: been a great story. And and Nikki because they're running 1344 01:09:27,080 --> 01:09:29,320 Speaker 15: ANLD school West Coast offense. Not a lot of teeth throws. 1345 01:09:29,880 --> 01:09:32,000 Speaker 15: Kashanhan knows who he is. He cannot throw the ball 1346 01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,960 Speaker 15: past twenty five yards. It's all timing based a lot 1347 01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:39,400 Speaker 15: of slam passes. The offense starts with Christian McCaffrey in 1348 01:09:39,400 --> 01:09:42,920 Speaker 15: the run game. This is another team, low volume pass team. 1349 01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:45,160 Speaker 15: Now every once in a while. He's shown if they've 1350 01:09:45,160 --> 01:09:47,760 Speaker 15: had to have a high volume, he's handled himself fairly well. 1351 01:09:48,200 --> 01:09:50,000 Speaker 15: But they don't want him throwing the ball a lot. 1352 01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 15: Now I worry about this Niners team. 1353 01:09:51,920 --> 01:09:55,520 Speaker 4: Now. They are the slight favorite, slight favorite. 1354 01:09:55,479 --> 01:09:57,920 Speaker 15: Whatever books, sports book you look at their slight favorite 1355 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,479 Speaker 15: minus one oh five and a lot of books. That's 1356 01:10:00,520 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 15: fairly a winner over the Rams and the rams of 1357 01:10:02,560 --> 01:10:06,559 Speaker 15: Matthew Stafford isshe with his back, I my sleeper payer 1358 01:10:06,560 --> 01:10:08,360 Speaker 15: won't happen, but I'm gonna pick the Seahawk stack should 1359 01:10:08,360 --> 01:10:11,080 Speaker 15: be the last wild card in the NFC. But the 1360 01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,599 Speaker 15: Niners with iyex injury that worries made Trent Williams way 1361 01:10:14,680 --> 01:10:16,880 Speaker 15: up there. Not a very good offensive line of talent. 1362 01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,519 Speaker 15: Secondary's got some problems. I don't see the Niners winning 1363 01:10:21,560 --> 01:10:22,760 Speaker 15: this one. I really don't. 1364 01:10:23,080 --> 01:10:25,320 Speaker 3: Bear's final preseason game. 1365 01:10:25,479 --> 01:10:29,160 Speaker 2: Their quarterbacks had a combined passer rating of one hundred 1366 01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:32,479 Speaker 2: and twenty four point seven thirty one to forty three 1367 01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:35,599 Speaker 2: three hundred ten yards, four touchdowns, zero picks, Caleb Williams 1368 01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,920 Speaker 2: eleven and fifteen one to thirteen one touchdown, no pick. 1369 01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 2: Looks pretty good going against the Chiefs, and yet Ben 1370 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:47,160 Speaker 2: Johnson lost it absolutely, ripping into his team. It's usually 1371 01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:50,400 Speaker 2: not that uncommon for a coach to get extra hard 1372 01:10:50,439 --> 01:10:53,280 Speaker 2: on the team. Actually, when you have a good game, 1373 01:10:53,439 --> 01:10:54,880 Speaker 2: you know that you sort of jump on him like 1374 01:10:54,920 --> 01:10:58,240 Speaker 2: we could be a lot better. Sure, but I'll ultimately, 1375 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:02,240 Speaker 2: what's the buzz right now on this marriage that's so 1376 01:11:02,400 --> 01:11:06,639 Speaker 2: critical to the Bear's future between Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams. 1377 01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:08,040 Speaker 15: Yeah, I would say it's been up and down from 1378 01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:10,360 Speaker 15: I understand, and there's been some rough moments, which you 1379 01:11:10,360 --> 01:11:13,240 Speaker 15: would expect with Kayleb Williams, who sometimes plays with a 1380 01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:15,920 Speaker 15: lack of discipline in his game, and Ben Johnson is 1381 01:11:15,920 --> 01:11:19,639 Speaker 15: the ultimate hard coacher. What he does is he makes 1382 01:11:19,640 --> 01:11:22,439 Speaker 15: you accountable, He stays on you. He actually he'll get 1383 01:11:22,439 --> 01:11:25,400 Speaker 15: on his coaches. I think this is what Kayleb Williams needed. 1384 01:11:25,439 --> 01:11:30,439 Speaker 15: He's super gifted. Tessan Bagent great story. Development, really is amazing. 1385 01:11:30,439 --> 01:11:32,400 Speaker 15: This kid was an untra after free agent three years ago, 1386 01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,280 Speaker 15: m H. And he's not proven to be one of 1387 01:11:34,280 --> 01:11:36,200 Speaker 15: the better backups in the league. And they signed case 1388 01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,920 Speaker 15: Keenum to help mentor Kleb Williams. He's there's insurance policy. 1389 01:11:40,600 --> 01:11:44,439 Speaker 15: Here's the great thing Steve. What the Bears have done, guys, 1390 01:11:44,479 --> 01:11:47,720 Speaker 15: They've added so much talent. They've three new stars on 1391 01:11:47,760 --> 01:11:49,519 Speaker 15: the offensive. On the interior, they knew they had to 1392 01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:52,679 Speaker 15: be changed around. They got even more pass targets. Luther Byrne, 1393 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,400 Speaker 15: who the second round of Missouri. It's in first rund 1394 01:11:54,400 --> 01:11:57,200 Speaker 15: grades from clubs. Roman Donzay's in his second year. DJ 1395 01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:00,200 Speaker 15: Moore is terrific. They're loaded at running back. 1396 01:12:00,760 --> 01:12:00,920 Speaker 8: Now. 1397 01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:03,640 Speaker 15: My one issue for them is how good are they 1398 01:12:03,680 --> 01:12:05,000 Speaker 15: going to be on defense? They don't have much of 1399 01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:10,040 Speaker 15: a pass rush that it's a backloaded defense. They started 1400 01:12:10,360 --> 01:12:12,840 Speaker 15: back to front, you storte start front to beck. That's 1401 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:14,879 Speaker 15: they have not built this team the right way on defense. 1402 01:12:15,439 --> 01:12:19,280 Speaker 15: That's my one issue, Nikki, is that can he the 1403 01:12:19,280 --> 01:12:21,400 Speaker 15: true testament of a quarterback is what happens when you're behind? 1404 01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:23,439 Speaker 15: Can you bring the team back? We're not going to 1405 01:12:23,520 --> 01:12:26,559 Speaker 15: know that until it happens. And again, this is only 1406 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,840 Speaker 15: his secondaries now and it's brand new offense. He's never 1407 01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,599 Speaker 15: been in the terminology is I understand as West Coast 1408 01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:34,280 Speaker 15: he had to learn a new system, but I know 1409 01:12:34,400 --> 01:12:36,240 Speaker 15: for fact there have been some there are some wild 1410 01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,720 Speaker 15: practices from Caleb Williams which you're loving. And now one 1411 01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,880 Speaker 15: thing that he does and I think Ben Johnson was 1412 01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 15: talking about this. Yes, Caleb Willias number Steve look great, 1413 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,880 Speaker 15: but there's some times where he doesn't take the target 1414 01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:49,120 Speaker 15: where the ball sess to go. It goes to a 1415 01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:51,760 Speaker 15: secondary target. And they're going to ask them when you 1416 01:12:51,800 --> 01:12:53,400 Speaker 15: watch tape together, why didn't you go here? And he's 1417 01:12:53,400 --> 01:12:54,120 Speaker 15: got to have an answer. 1418 01:12:55,040 --> 01:13:01,000 Speaker 3: Adam, we're so ready. I can't wait, but we have weeks. Okay, 1419 01:13:01,040 --> 01:13:02,280 Speaker 3: I know I called hump week. 1420 01:13:02,360 --> 01:13:05,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just it's crazy but unbelievable. The 1421 01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:08,720 Speaker 2: Shador Sanders story, though, took an interesting twist. 1422 01:13:08,439 --> 01:13:10,640 Speaker 4: With that perform mad I know I. 1423 01:13:12,160 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 2: Keeping for qb our Buddy Ceciliano is the voice of 1424 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,519 Speaker 2: the Browns. He got out on that one sack where 1425 01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:21,599 Speaker 2: he said, wow, he's regressing back to his Colorado days 1426 01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:25,439 Speaker 2: taking you can't take twenty two yard sacks in the NFL. 1427 01:13:26,120 --> 01:13:29,559 Speaker 4: Not good. But see you guys. Let me just say this. 1428 01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,120 Speaker 4: They don't have a future quarterback. Dylan Gibrel's not starter. 1429 01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:33,240 Speaker 4: I mean, it's a nice story, but. 1430 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:35,840 Speaker 3: Okay, we'll find out, Adam. As always, we'll talk to 1431 01:13:35,840 --> 01:13:36,400 Speaker 3: you next week. 1432 01:13:36,400 --> 01:13:39,799 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, that's Adam Kaplan, our NFL insider. 1433 01:13:39,840 --> 01:13:41,760 Speaker 3: What kind of week ahead is it going to be? 1434 01:13:41,800 --> 01:13:43,559 Speaker 3: In the Sports Rule We'll break it down for you. 1435 01:13:43,680 --> 01:13:52,559 Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Saturday, Steve Harbin, Nikki k Fox 1436 01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:56,680 Speaker 2: Sports Saturday Live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

Who was the last 1455 01:14:41,479 --> 01:14:43,080 Speaker 2: year was like, Georgia Tech, is. 1456 01:14:43,080 --> 01:14:45,800 Speaker 13: It Northwestern there one year?

How many points is a touchdown? 1463 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:05,320 Speaker 3: They don't know that. Why would you schedule Iowa State 1464 01:15:05,439 --> 01:15:09,920 Speaker 3: and Kansas State in Dublin, Ireland? What is the point 1465 01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:10,639 Speaker 3: of that? 1466 01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:15,960 Speaker 13: You know what? It was? It was a The start 1467 01:15:16,040 --> 01:15:19,240 Speaker 13: to the games made us all wonder why what was 1468 01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:21,960 Speaker 13: going on? Why were you there? It was pouring rain, 1469 01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:26,559 Speaker 13: it was sloppy. It was okay, football is back, question mark, 1470 01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:28,240 Speaker 13: college football is back? 1471 01:15:28,400 --> 01:15:31,479 Speaker 2: Why are you opening your college well again? I got 1472 01:15:31,479 --> 01:15:35,160 Speaker 2: the whole Notre Dame angle on it. Sorty cute, all right, 1473 01:15:35,280 --> 01:15:36,839 Speaker 2: fighting Irish are playing in Dublin. 1474 01:15:36,960 --> 01:15:37,439 Speaker 3: I get it. 1475 01:15:38,200 --> 01:15:41,120 Speaker 2: Iowa State and Kansas State and this is a big 1476 01:15:41,160 --> 01:15:42,799 Speaker 2: game for both these teams, both. 1477 01:15:42,680 --> 01:15:44,800 Speaker 3: Ranked in the top twenty five. This is game that 1478 01:15:44,880 --> 01:15:48,840 Speaker 3: actually matters. Why is this game being played in you 1479 01:15:48,920 --> 01:15:49,360 Speaker 3: no notice? 1480 01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,559 Speaker 13: Was equally as confusing Iowa State's offense putting up numbers. 1481 01:15:54,040 --> 01:15:57,000 Speaker 2: How about that well, Iowa especially as notorious for not 1482 01:15:57,080 --> 01:15:57,920 Speaker 2: scoring at all. 1483 01:15:58,479 --> 01:16:01,000 Speaker 3: Iowa schools are not big, right, So, I mean, I old, 1484 01:16:01,080 --> 01:16:02,479 Speaker 3: that's an old trope. That was so. 1485 01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:04,120 Speaker 4: Three. 1486 01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,560 Speaker 5: Iowa State's never had a problem scoring.

This was Peyton Manning's 1528 01:18:10,360 --> 01:18:13,080 Speaker 2: junior year and to walk into that stadium. 1529 01:18:13,160 --> 01:18:13,799 Speaker 13: That's different. 1530 01:18:13,960 --> 01:18:17,280 Speaker 2: One hundred thousand people all wearing orange, all wearing number 1531 01:18:17,360 --> 01:18:20,519 Speaker 2: sixteen jerseys for a guy from the West Coast was 1532 01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:22,559 Speaker 2: awe inspiring.

So it's college football 1539 01:18:40,400 --> 01:18:43,360 Speaker 2: is about tradition, it's about the rivalries, it's about the 1540 01:18:43,479 --> 01:18:47,519 Speaker 2: pageantry that separates it from the NFL. The NFL is 1541 01:18:47,520 --> 01:18:49,920 Speaker 2: a business. I'm not going to deny that the NFL 1542 01:18:49,960 --> 01:18:53,120 Speaker 2: are the greatest players on the planet, but it doesn't 1543 01:18:53,280 --> 01:18:56,400 Speaker 2: carry the same weight in terms of the pageantry the 1544 01:18:56,439 --> 01:18:58,439 Speaker 2: traditions that you have in college football. 1545 01:18:58,479 --> 01:19:01,200 Speaker 13: I also went to UCLA, and as beautiful as the 1546 01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,920 Speaker 13: Rose Bowl is it, we've seen We've seen a lot 1547 01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:06,599 Speaker 13: of losses there.
