1 00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,800 Speaker 1: This is Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre. What is up 2 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:15,840 Speaker 1: straight Fire? Fa M, It's me Jason McIntyre. Straight Fire 3 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: for Wednesday, December twenty one. Oh, we got a great 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:24,440 Speaker 1: guest for you today, t J houshman Zada, former Bengals 5 00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver. This is a guy who is the first 6 00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,160 Speaker 1: person to put me on to Zach Wilson because t 7 00:00:29,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: J Hush was working out with Zack Wilson ahead of 8 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,880 Speaker 1: the draft. He works out with a lot of prospects. 9 00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:37,080 Speaker 1: He gave me a sleeper prospect off air that he 10 00:00:37,320 --> 00:00:40,240 Speaker 1: just started working with. Uh, we don't discuss that. I'll 11 00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,319 Speaker 1: save his name for the mock drafts. You know that's 12 00:00:42,320 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: how I roll. Um. So, I think you guys really 13 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,159 Speaker 1: enjoyed t J. Humans he played for the Bengals. So 14 00:00:47,240 --> 00:00:49,879 Speaker 1: we give the Bengals a lot of props because you know, 15 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: Cincinnati fans we were listening, not happy that I'm not 16 00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:57,720 Speaker 1: giving in there do props for how well they played. Listen, 17 00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:00,320 Speaker 1: the Bengals. They might be the best team in the OFT. 18 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:03,120 Speaker 1: I don't know they're up there for sure, still a 19 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: little doubt, but damn they're good. All they do is 20 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: win and cover. But Before we get to that, just 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,039 Speaker 1: two quick items. Number one, fun story, Well, unless you're 22 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:15,960 Speaker 1: in Chicago. There's some dissension among the ranks apparently with 23 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:19,880 Speaker 1: the Chicago Bulls. Zach Levine versus DeMar de Rosen not 24 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:24,280 Speaker 1: really a battle a anticipated, you know coming into this season. 25 00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: Remember they went to the playoffs last year. It hasn't 26 00:01:27,280 --> 00:01:31,080 Speaker 1: helped that Lonzo Ball has been hurt that v I 27 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 1: hope I said his name right, probably not is playing 28 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: badly and it is going to be a free agent 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 1: and they're not retaining and they haven't been able to 30 00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:42,440 Speaker 1: trade him. Levine got the massive super Max I think 31 00:01:42,760 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 1: five years, two or fifteen million. De Rosen is kind 32 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,880 Speaker 1: of sort of on the cheap and maybe their overall 33 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:52,720 Speaker 1: best player. And apparently Levine and de Rosen, who like 34 00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: a year ago at this time, we're like working together 35 00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,720 Speaker 1: great and now as soon as things go south. My 36 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,120 Speaker 1: read on it is that the Bulls are unhappy that 37 00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: Levine is looking for his and getting points and all 38 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,360 Speaker 1: that stuff as opposed to winning. Now, you guys know 39 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:10,320 Speaker 1: him a big time Zach Levine fan, never met him, 40 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,200 Speaker 1: never interviewed him, just a fan, love his game. I 41 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 1: just think he just looks awesome playing basketball. The moves, 42 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:22,359 Speaker 1: slithery threes, I mean, he effortless, just a great dunker. Um. 43 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,400 Speaker 1: One of my favorite moments. Actually, I don't know if 44 00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:26,040 Speaker 1: you guys remember the Olympics. So he was on the 45 00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:28,920 Speaker 1: Olympic team and it was all right whenever the last 46 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: Olympics were and they were rounding out the gold medal game, 47 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:35,239 Speaker 1: and you know, the game was ending, and just casually, 48 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,080 Speaker 1: you know, the final buzzer goes off and Zach Wilson 49 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 1: goes up and does just you know, game's ending, just 50 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: a three sixty dunk and made it look so easy. 51 00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 1: And I was just like, oh my god. Look, I mean, 52 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 1: I know anybody in the NBA should be able to 53 00:02:48,400 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: do a three sixty dunk, but I'm telling you, he 54 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: made it look like a layup for me. Just you 55 00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: go up and lay the ball, and he just did 56 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:56,680 Speaker 1: a three sixty just casually. Um. So I'm a big 57 00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,920 Speaker 1: Levine fan, obviously not great in Chicago, but I actually 58 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 1: don't think that's the biggest story in sports. There isn't 59 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,080 Speaker 1: really an NFL thing. But I'm gonna say this before 60 00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:06,919 Speaker 1: you bet any games this weekend. Look at the weather. 61 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:11,080 Speaker 1: I saw it might be negative seventeen wind chill for 62 00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 1: Bears Bills in Chicago. Um, I was talking to my 63 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:17,800 Speaker 1: son about who we should pick up in fantasy because 64 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:23,239 Speaker 1: other games have massive wind and uh precipitation and freezing. 65 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: Like you know, it's a fantasy semifinals. My son's there, 66 00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,560 Speaker 1: he's facing a team that's thirteen and one, but we 67 00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,000 Speaker 1: think we got a chance. Very fired up. I my 68 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 1: great team in my the Fox League hosted by Ben 69 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:38,880 Speaker 1: Verlander of Fox Sports. My team is number I mean 70 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: we're not number one because we didn't pop for a while, 71 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:43,640 Speaker 1: but we have Jalen Hurts, a j Brown. I mean, 72 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: we've been a juggernaut scoring so many. I think I 73 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 1: had a hundred and seventy seven points last week, and 74 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 1: that's what Jeric McKinnon's on the bench, who had like 75 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:53,120 Speaker 1: thirty four or something. And now Jalen Hurts his hurt, 76 00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: so I gotta scramble. We'll see, we'll see. Anyways, the 77 00:03:55,440 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: biggest story I think is in college football. Now, even 78 00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:00,240 Speaker 1: if you're not a college football fan, you will appreciate this. 79 00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,080 Speaker 1: So the coach at Pitt is a guy by the 80 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:07,280 Speaker 1: name of Pat Nardoozy. You probably are dimly familiar with 81 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: his work. He was a defensive coordinator at Michigan State 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: for the longest time and then goes to Pittsburgh and listen, 83 00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 1: he's done a great job at Pittsburgh. They were eleven 84 00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 1: and three last year and they had Kenny Pickett and 85 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:23,000 Speaker 1: then they had Jordan Addison, the blitznic cough winner of 86 00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,359 Speaker 1: the wide receiver. With Kenny Pickett going to the NFL, 87 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 1: Jordan Addison said, I'm not sticking around. It goes to 88 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: U s C. And of course the Pittsburgh people were 89 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 1: unhappy the whole n I L stuff. You had a 90 00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:36,920 Speaker 1: gotta gotta Pittsburgh did rebound. They went eight and four 91 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 1: this year, they're going to a bowl game. You know, 92 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: nardos is doing some good things. They're no doubt about it. 93 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:43,480 Speaker 1: They're playing well. And I know, Jason, everybody goes to 94 00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: a ball game. It's you know, it's so all the 95 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,000 Speaker 1: coaches keep their jobs. That's why the barrier for entry 96 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,880 Speaker 1: to bowl games is so low. But this is where 97 00:04:52,920 --> 00:04:57,840 Speaker 1: it gets interesting. Nardoozy went on a radio station UM 98 00:04:58,160 --> 00:05:02,480 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh ninety three seven the Fan and said he's 99 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: heard two schools offered U n C. Quarterback Drake May. Yes, 100 00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:10,960 Speaker 1: that's the younger brother of Luke May, the former UNC 101 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: basketball player. Two schools offered him five million dollars to transfer. 102 00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:21,720 Speaker 1: Nardoozy won't say who, but he knows who. Says it's 103 00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,440 Speaker 1: gotten out of control and it's only gonna get worse. 104 00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:28,000 Speaker 1: It's a sad, sad deal. Now, let's be real. Nardoozy 105 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:31,960 Speaker 1: is ticked that he lost Jordan Addison to usc Okay. 106 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: Nardoozy is trying to go scorched earth on n I 107 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,239 Speaker 1: L because guess what he is one of the have nots. 108 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:43,279 Speaker 1: Pit as good as they've been, is starting to show cracks. 109 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,920 Speaker 1: Like if you we can get the guys, we can 110 00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:48,520 Speaker 1: develop them, we can unearth the gems because our recruiting 111 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 1: staff is better than yours. We know talent and they 112 00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 1: can identify it. But guess what, a year or two later, 113 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: that talent is getting poached by the big dogs. So 114 00:05:56,920 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 1: they're essentially like a feeder system at PITT which stinks. 115 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 1: You don't want to be a feeder system. I mean, 116 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: it's sort of like the Florida Marlins in baseball. Now 117 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: they have no payroll, they don't want to spend money. 118 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 1: There'll be a feeder system and then just sell their 119 00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:11,000 Speaker 1: guys make money and the ownership makes a ton of money. 120 00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 1: So in our doozys ticked off and is saying Drake 121 00:06:13,839 --> 00:06:16,839 Speaker 1: May was offered five millions transfer. So I started reading 122 00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:20,080 Speaker 1: about May. Ask a couple of buddies, and you know 123 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 1: the word is Drake May initially committed to Alabama, then 124 00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,520 Speaker 1: he backed out and went to u n C. Well, 125 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:31,000 Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys are aware of what's going on 126 00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,960 Speaker 1: in Alabama. Bryce Young he's going to be playing in 127 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,799 Speaker 1: the NFL next year. They missed on arch Manning. Okay, 128 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 1: so I know that they only have five star recruits 129 00:06:43,400 --> 00:06:48,599 Speaker 1: in the wings, but Jalen Milroe and Ty Simpson, neither 130 00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:52,480 Speaker 1: of those guys are the caliber of Drake May. Milroe 131 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,719 Speaker 1: obviously a very talented guys coming out of high school 132 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:58,719 Speaker 1: in Texas. Uh, Like, listen, the guy's good. He ain't 133 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,000 Speaker 1: Drake May. Drake May read sure that he's six four 134 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: to twenty. It's early and things happen, But right now 135 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: he was the a C C Player of the Year. 136 00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,640 Speaker 1: He's on track to be the number two pick next year. 137 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,720 Speaker 1: Not I'm sorry, two years from now. Not not next year. 138 00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: Like not next draft two thousand twenty four after Caleb Williams, 139 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: and should william slip up, make could slide right in there. 140 00:07:20,320 --> 00:07:23,040 Speaker 1: Now they did kind of struggle at the end of 141 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:29,160 Speaker 1: his Richard freshman season. Um, but the talent there is undeniable. Okay, 142 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: Drake May is, you know, potential Heisman guy for next year. 143 00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:35,440 Speaker 1: So let's just say Alabama is one of the guys 144 00:07:35,440 --> 00:07:40,000 Speaker 1: they miss out on Arch Banning, right, they are losing 145 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: Bryce Young and now Drake May could be their guy. 146 00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 1: At five million? Can U n C retain him? And 147 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,120 Speaker 1: all these people are outrage all college football is going 148 00:07:48,160 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: to the dogs, like stop it. That is total and 149 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 1: utter nonsense. Okay, here's the reality. If pat Nardoozy, who's 150 00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:01,560 Speaker 1: done well, had been offered a bad say, I don't know, 151 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,840 Speaker 1: Late says, I'm just hypothetically he's making let's say four 152 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 1: million dollars a year. Let's say I'm just gonna pick 153 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,880 Speaker 1: a team. Okay, I'm not don't connect this day. I'm 154 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:13,920 Speaker 1: just saying, let's say Tennessee loved what patent or Doozy 155 00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:15,760 Speaker 1: has done. They want to bring him on, They want 156 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:17,800 Speaker 1: to pay him eight million. Patner Doozy has built up 157 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:21,240 Speaker 1: the Pitts program. He's recruited a bunch of kids. But 158 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:25,440 Speaker 1: guess what, he's getting big money offers from Tennessee or whoever. 159 00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:28,520 Speaker 1: And Patner he says, hey, guys, thank you, I I 160 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 1: gotta go. Nobody would blame him, right, you're trading up. 161 00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: You did a great job at pitt You've proven you 162 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,679 Speaker 1: can coach um, You're ready for the big leagues. The 163 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,480 Speaker 1: sec what Nobody would blame him? So why are we 164 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:46,840 Speaker 1: taking shots at Drake May for maybe considering taking money 165 00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:52,400 Speaker 1: from Alabama or whoever? Like, why why are we going 166 00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 1: after him? Now? Five million dollars that's a that's significant. 167 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,920 Speaker 1: But guess what, un C got a stud And you 168 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:02,360 Speaker 1: guys know how recruiting were. Once you get the guy, 169 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:05,199 Speaker 1: you gotta keep everyone else away from him. They need 170 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:07,120 Speaker 1: to be doing whatever they can to keep Drake May. 171 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,319 Speaker 1: This isn't like, hey, you're with us now, you're on 172 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 1: our team. You're not going anywhere. It's no different than 173 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: a marriage. Guys, you gotta nurture it. You still gotta 174 00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,120 Speaker 1: do date nights with the wife. You still gotta do 175 00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 1: the flowers. You gotta you can't just I locked it down. 176 00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,680 Speaker 1: We're married. And I'm just gonna go go do my 177 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 1: own thing. And I've got my wife here. You know, 178 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,080 Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta be a good husband, gotta keep 179 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: the romance up. As they say, you've still gotta keep 180 00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:33,200 Speaker 1: the romance up with your star quarterback. Now, I would 181 00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:35,720 Speaker 1: hope U n C was obviously aware of this as 182 00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:38,199 Speaker 1: soon as he started popping this year. And I mean 183 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:41,600 Speaker 1: he was slinging the ball. Drake May was incredible for 184 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:43,679 Speaker 1: much of the season. Faded a little bit late, but 185 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: that happens. This kid's a super prospect. Of course Alabama 186 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,560 Speaker 1: should be offering him big money. Now there was another tweet, 187 00:09:51,600 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 1: and again you know this is some speculative stuff, but 188 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: a I guess quasi credible reporter comes out and says, 189 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:04,160 Speaker 1: keep your years open. Wednesday could be a big one, 190 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: big quarterback on the move? Is it Drake May? We 191 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,200 Speaker 1: don't know. Cailla Williams obviously not going anywhere. He is 192 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 1: with Lincoln Riley at USC. They're gonna be awesome next year. 193 00:10:14,880 --> 00:10:18,559 Speaker 1: Who else is out there? Drake May is probably considered 194 00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:21,560 Speaker 1: heading in the next season. It's like the best quarterback. 195 00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think Panics from Washington's going anywhere. 196 00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,360 Speaker 1: He announced he's staying in school. Um the kid at Arizona, 197 00:10:28,400 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: who I like a lot. I don't think he's on that. 198 00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, he's transferring level. Um yeah, I think 199 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: the rumors about Drake May. Now maybe arch Manning says, 200 00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,439 Speaker 1: queen yours. What if I don't beat him out, Alabama 201 00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: doesn't have a quarterback. I could go to Alabama and start. 202 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,400 Speaker 1: I don't know. Does arch Manning flip and make it 203 00:10:50,640 --> 00:10:53,000 Speaker 1: make a change. So today obviously will be a big 204 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:55,800 Speaker 1: day if the rumors are true in college football. But 205 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:57,680 Speaker 1: I just want to be clear, like I don't have 206 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,480 Speaker 1: a problem with Drake May. If UNC was paying him 207 00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:05,360 Speaker 1: five hundred thousand in n i O money, he's proven 208 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: that he's worth more than that. And if they again 209 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:11,640 Speaker 1: these are possibly just rumors spread by a sour coach 210 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,719 Speaker 1: in pattn Ardouzy, somebody's offering a five million UNS has 211 00:11:14,760 --> 00:11:18,559 Speaker 1: to come to the table more than that, because I mean, 212 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,839 Speaker 1: Drake May, we all know in sports you're an injury away. 213 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,079 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray got his bag with the Arizona Cardinals. He's down. 214 00:11:25,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: He's down and injured. Now who cares he got paid? 215 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,960 Speaker 1: Now you're Lamar Jackson. I think you gotta think think 216 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 1: about your future. And there by the way, early reports 217 00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 1: are Lamar Jackson not practicing yesterday for the Ravens. Very 218 00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:44,200 Speaker 1: interesting to monitor his return to the field. You know, 219 00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:45,760 Speaker 1: the Ravens need him now. They still could make the 220 00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:48,000 Speaker 1: playoffs without him, but they ain't winning a game in 221 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,520 Speaker 1: the playoffs without him. Goodness gracious no, All right, without 222 00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: further ado, let's get to our guest, Fox Sports Radios, 223 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:58,480 Speaker 1: t J. Hush Manzada. Fox Sports Radio has the best 224 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,319 Speaker 1: sports talk lineup in the nation. Catch all of our 225 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,840 Speaker 1: shows at Fox Sports Radio dot com and within the 226 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: I Heart Radio app search f s R to listen live. 227 00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,480 Speaker 1: Jason likes to think he knows everything when it comes 228 00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,680 Speaker 1: to sports. I know what sports dance want, but for 229 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: everything he doesn't, he knows a guy who does. Let's 230 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,560 Speaker 1: just say I know a guy who knows the wh 231 00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: knows another guy. All right, let's welcome into straight fire. 232 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,160 Speaker 1: A guy you know obviously from the podcast, from his 233 00:12:30,200 --> 00:12:33,440 Speaker 1: time with the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL, from his 234 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:36,080 Speaker 1: time if you follow him back in college at Oregon 235 00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,960 Speaker 1: State with Ocho Cinco, I believe he is t J. 236 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: Houshman Zada. He is on many many platforms for Fox 237 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,720 Speaker 1: Sports and Fox Sports Radio. How you doing, man, Man, 238 00:12:47,760 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 1: I'm doing good Man on Straight Fire. That's what we're 239 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: about to give him. Listen. I probably should start by 240 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:56,360 Speaker 1: talking about the Bengals, because t J, I've been so 241 00:12:56,400 --> 00:12:59,160 Speaker 1: wrong about them again this year. I bet against him 242 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,679 Speaker 1: in the playoffs. Last year. I didn't, you know, I thought, 243 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,280 Speaker 1: I know, obviously Bros good, but I was like, they're 244 00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 1: not that good. They make a run to the super Bowl. 245 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,720 Speaker 1: This year, these guys are not gonna be good. They 246 00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: start out and two, t J, there's no hotter team 247 00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:12,599 Speaker 1: in the league right now than the Bengals. And the 248 00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,880 Speaker 1: way the Chiefs are playing defense and the Bills consist 249 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 1: Cinnati get back to the super Bowl. Jason. And because 250 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,360 Speaker 1: you're a betting man and you look at advanced stats 251 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:29,679 Speaker 1: and metrics, you should know this and correct me if 252 00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: I'm wrong. This is obviously my opinion. Is there a 253 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:37,640 Speaker 1: coaching staff that's better at making halftime adjustments than the 254 00:13:37,679 --> 00:13:41,199 Speaker 1: Cincinnati Bengals. Well, I'll give the defensive the defensive coach. Yes, 255 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: I don't know about when when when you look at 256 00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,920 Speaker 1: the way they shut teams down in the second half. 257 00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:52,560 Speaker 1: It's not this pretty much all season long, and you 258 00:13:52,600 --> 00:13:56,120 Speaker 1: go back to last year, they do a really good 259 00:13:56,160 --> 00:14:00,160 Speaker 1: job in making halftime adjustments. Oh they're most re sent 260 00:14:00,320 --> 00:14:05,520 Speaker 1: game turned down seventeen zero. And then they come out 261 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:10,640 Speaker 1: after halftime in thirty four Goose Egg the Bucks. They 262 00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:14,360 Speaker 1: and they're consistently doing this, and so can they get 263 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:18,360 Speaker 1: back to the Super Bowl. Obviously they're good enough, but 264 00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: I'm concerned at Trey Hendrickson and Sam Hubbard, both on 265 00:14:21,480 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: outside will they probably both will missed remainder of the 266 00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:28,280 Speaker 1: regular season. And our schedule is not easy. Down to stretch, 267 00:14:29,400 --> 00:14:33,960 Speaker 1: it's not easy, and so you gotta play which we 268 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,920 Speaker 1: should win the Patriots, and then you finish with Buffalo 269 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:41,640 Speaker 1: and Baltimore. Baltimore should have Lamar back. But yes, the 270 00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: Bengals are the firepower on offense, they have it defensively 271 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:49,880 Speaker 1: if they can get Hubbard and Hendrickson back. UM. I 272 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: like their chances, I really do. It's weird. They played 273 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: well without Mixing, they played well without Higgins, they played 274 00:14:56,040 --> 00:14:58,760 Speaker 1: well without Boyd and in this past week, like you said, 275 00:14:59,640 --> 00:15:03,760 Speaker 1: without Chase and the defense missing the top cornerback missing. 276 00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:08,040 Speaker 1: UM Hubbard went down, Hendrickson barely played or did not play. 277 00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: I forget which one it was against Tampa, and then 278 00:15:10,160 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: the defense was really really good. I don't I don't 279 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:17,720 Speaker 1: totally understand what's happening which Incinnati uh And like you said, 280 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: they want without Jamaar Chase. But who gets most of 281 00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 1: the credit here the defensive coordinator Burrow is Zach Taylor? 282 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: Should he be getting more credit? It kind of you 283 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 1: know how it works is when the team is doing 284 00:15:33,520 --> 00:15:36,160 Speaker 1: bad and they have really good players, we're gonna blame 285 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,800 Speaker 1: the head coach. You know. Initially it was like, oh, 286 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 1: is Zach Taylor. He's not the man for this job. 287 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: He doesn't deserve this job is too much pressure, and 288 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: all he does lead him to the super Bowl when 289 00:15:45,560 --> 00:15:50,800 Speaker 1: Barrow was healthy. So it's like, Okay, I believe everybody 290 00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:54,520 Speaker 1: deserves some of the credit because the quarterback and the 291 00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 1: head coach take far too much of the blame when 292 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: things go bad, but they cannot get all of the 293 00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 1: cred when things go well. So you have to give 294 00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,680 Speaker 1: the defensive coordinators some credit. You have to give the 295 00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,280 Speaker 1: head coach and credit. Joe Burrow gets a lion's share 296 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:18,440 Speaker 1: of the credit, but if that offensive lion didn't improve 297 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:20,640 Speaker 1: from week two, if after the first two weeks it 298 00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:25,560 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, same, Oh they jailed and they improved. 299 00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:31,240 Speaker 1: But you got guys on the outside and chasing higgins 300 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,920 Speaker 1: Hurst and Boyd on the inside mixing. They got a 301 00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:40,000 Speaker 1: lot of weapons to be the backup. Look good, p 302 00:16:40,280 --> 00:16:42,840 Speaker 1: Ryan is tough. Bro p Ryn is like he seemed 303 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 1: like he just built of concrete, like you don't want 304 00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: to run into him. So obviously Burrow is gonna get 305 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 1: a lion's share of the credit. But the Bengals have 306 00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: a really good team, and there's no team that does 307 00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,479 Speaker 1: well without everybody playing their part. But when the media, 308 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:05,000 Speaker 1: we tend to give the quarterback an overload of credit. 309 00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,400 Speaker 1: But I mean, Brady is a prime example. The team 310 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,359 Speaker 1: is asked around him right now, so he's not like 311 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:17,000 Speaker 1: he's accustomed to. Yeah, I mean that they the offensive 312 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: line is bad. But Evans is still there. He seems healthy. 313 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,119 Speaker 1: God Win's there, he seems healthy. I don't know. Again, 314 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: you just said the coaches get blamed like Bowls is 315 00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,119 Speaker 1: under some fire Byron Left, which is catching heat as 316 00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:30,920 Speaker 1: the o C. It is weird. Brady is not getting 317 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: a lot of blame. His numbers aren't terrible, but they 318 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:37,200 Speaker 1: just don't visually look the part of the Tampa Bay 319 00:17:37,200 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: Bucks we've seen in the last couple of years, because 320 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:44,000 Speaker 1: Brady is a mobile so that line isn't protecting. He's 321 00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,919 Speaker 1: gonna have hard He's gonna have a hard time. You 322 00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:50,840 Speaker 1: pressure up the middle, Okay, maybe then I can slide 323 00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 1: outside because Brady has great pocket presence. But Tristan Worth 324 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,119 Speaker 1: is out, Donovan Smith is the most penalized offensive lineman 325 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: and Nashville foot all. And you're giving up pressure up 326 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: the middle. Where does Brady go. You can't slide left, right, 327 00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 1: you can't step up the middle. And so Brady's little, 328 00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:11,840 Speaker 1: Oh he's getting old, he needs to retire. He just 329 00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:14,240 Speaker 1: doesn't have the offensive line. But when they win as 330 00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,639 Speaker 1: brady as this Brady is that you gotta get the 331 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 1: entirety of the team their credit, and specifically not just 332 00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:25,160 Speaker 1: talking to Bucks. I just feel like the teams that 333 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,119 Speaker 1: do well, we tend to credit the quarterback unless we 334 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:32,520 Speaker 1: think the quarterback isn't good, like you see Michael Parson 335 00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: saying is it Jalen Hurts or is it the team? Uh? 336 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:38,879 Speaker 1: And the other quarterback gets the credit. Why can't Ja 337 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:41,679 Speaker 1: Hurts Kintting. Well, it's interesting you bring up Hurts because 338 00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:44,879 Speaker 1: there's this idea that, well, Gardner Minshew is pretty good, 339 00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 1: and last year in the playoffs, when it was you know, 340 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 1: twenty seven nothing bucks, everybody was calling for Gardner Minshew. Uh, 341 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: Hurts can't get it done. He can't do the reads. 342 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:57,200 Speaker 1: But I mean, TJ, there, these are two totally different quarterback. 343 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 1: You can't run Gardner Minshew fifteen times the way you 344 00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:02,320 Speaker 1: run and Hurts fifteen times. That's just not happening. Now. 345 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:05,199 Speaker 1: Can he scramble? Yeah? But all those design runs. I 346 00:19:05,200 --> 00:19:07,479 Speaker 1: think he had two twenty yard touchdown runs. If you 347 00:19:07,680 --> 00:19:09,960 Speaker 1: against the Bears, it was just like dropped back and 348 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:11,840 Speaker 1: then the hole opened up and he just went right 349 00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 1: at the middle for the touchdown. You min, Shoe is 350 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,080 Speaker 1: not doing that right, Absolutely not, And the game plan 351 00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:20,359 Speaker 1: would be different. They wouldn't put that on me and 352 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: Shoe to play like he's Jalen Hurts. So is the 353 00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:25,000 Speaker 1: what is that an edge for Dallas or is that 354 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:28,359 Speaker 1: an edge for the Eagles because Dallas doesn't totally know 355 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: what's coming, even though they did face him last year. 356 00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,680 Speaker 1: There's a totally different team with A J. Brown. The 357 00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:37,240 Speaker 1: Eagles are such a complete team. Like Hurts, A though 358 00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: for three hundred and then he'll run for one fifty 359 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:42,840 Speaker 1: the next game. Like you, you don't know how they're 360 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:44,879 Speaker 1: going to attack you and how they're going to beat you. 361 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: I like Jalen Hurts. Jaden Hurts. I picked the Eagles 362 00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:53,320 Speaker 1: to go to the super Bowl prior to the season wow, 363 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: prior to the season bold to play the Bills. Now, 364 00:19:57,840 --> 00:20:00,280 Speaker 1: I don't like that pick because with the Bills, because 365 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,600 Speaker 1: I don't like the bomb. Miller's hurt and Josh Shallon 366 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 1: is hurt because it's completion percentatives dropped since the injury. 367 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,760 Speaker 1: That concerns me. But I gotta roll with it. But 368 00:20:09,800 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 1: I saw Jalen Hurts out here all summer. I saw 369 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:14,880 Speaker 1: him out here all summer. He worked his ass off 370 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:18,760 Speaker 1: and he's up here coaching guys on what to do 371 00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:20,680 Speaker 1: and how to do it. And I'm like, they don't 372 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,800 Speaker 1: even play for the Eagles. And so he's just a 373 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 1: natural leader. That's just who he is. Well, wait a second, 374 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:28,680 Speaker 1: I know you work out with a lot of guys. 375 00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:30,720 Speaker 1: We'll get to the leading up to the draft stuff. 376 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,919 Speaker 1: But I didn't know you were you working with Hurts. No, 377 00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: so I bring my receivers out there in the quarterback way, 378 00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 1: where's out there? U C l A, Orange County, Orange 379 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,639 Speaker 1: County and so who whichever quarterbacks are out there? You know, 380 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: we run ross for him. And Jalen Hurts was out 381 00:20:46,760 --> 00:20:48,800 Speaker 1: there and he worked his ass off. Man, he was 382 00:20:48,840 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 1: working hard, and he's not from here. You leave your 383 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:54,720 Speaker 1: comfort zone and you come out here to get better. 384 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,880 Speaker 1: And that's why I picked the Eagles because I saw 385 00:20:56,880 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: the work that he was putting in. I knew he 386 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,000 Speaker 1: was gonna be better. And I said it. I said 387 00:21:01,040 --> 00:21:03,000 Speaker 1: it on Fox Brush Radio. I'm taking Eagles because I've 388 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:05,600 Speaker 1: seen Jalen Hurts out here working. I'm taking Eagles go 389 00:21:05,640 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 1: to the the super Bowl. And everybody thought I was crazy. 390 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: And it Hurts takes that next step, which I believe 391 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 1: he will. I'm rolling with the Eagles. So wait, uh 392 00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:17,000 Speaker 1: so her Hurts is out here working? What receivers was 393 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: he throwing? Do any Eagles guys are just no Eagles guys. 394 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,360 Speaker 1: It was just different guys throughout the league that will 395 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:25,520 Speaker 1: be coming or at times it would be like some 396 00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,439 Speaker 1: college guys and okay, I want you to run it 397 00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:33,959 Speaker 1: like this, he just has a leadership qualities that everybody 398 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,840 Speaker 1: doesn't have. That he does a really good job of 399 00:21:36,880 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: being a leader. He's born with that or he was 400 00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:44,159 Speaker 1: taught that at an early age and it's just in him. 401 00:21:44,160 --> 00:21:46,639 Speaker 1: So when Hurts is out here, is that abnormal for 402 00:21:46,680 --> 00:21:49,119 Speaker 1: a lot of young quarterbacks? I think this is is what? 403 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 1: This is third year in the league. So young third 404 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:54,840 Speaker 1: year quarterbacks are they normally out here doing this? They'll 405 00:21:54,880 --> 00:21:58,919 Speaker 1: come like I've seen who shoo. I mean, honestly, I 406 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,359 Speaker 1: don't know a quarterback in the league that I hadn't 407 00:22:02,359 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: seen out here. There's probably a handful, but they'll come 408 00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 1: here and there, like Lamar Jackson, has he been out here? Yes, 409 00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:14,640 Speaker 1: Trey Lance, Yes? Um. I mean that Josh Allen has 410 00:22:14,800 --> 00:22:18,919 Speaker 1: proven enough he doesn't need to he comes he does. 411 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:27,720 Speaker 1: Huh So Mac Jones never seen him? Interesting means never 412 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,439 Speaker 1: seen him here. I mean some guys had their own 413 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 1: quarterback coaches, right, Yes, but you don't have to come 414 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: in here. It's not saying the guys we that I 415 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,960 Speaker 1: deal with are the best. I think they are. But 416 00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:40,600 Speaker 1: you know, but the starting quarterbacks in the league, they 417 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: come out here and I don't bug them, but I'm 418 00:22:43,680 --> 00:22:46,680 Speaker 1: able to see him work and see how they take 419 00:22:46,720 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: instruction when when they miss a throw and then corrected 420 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,199 Speaker 1: the next row, Like I pay attention to that stuff, 421 00:22:52,600 --> 00:22:56,160 Speaker 1: and so I just felt like Jalen Hurts was going 422 00:22:56,200 --> 00:23:01,440 Speaker 1: to take that next step just from watching any did um. 423 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: Zach Wilson is a guy that I first heard about. 424 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,639 Speaker 1: I think it was Daniel Jeremiah maybe right before you, 425 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:10,040 Speaker 1: because you were working with him out here during UM 426 00:23:10,359 --> 00:23:12,760 Speaker 1: leading up to the draft, and I'll never forget the 427 00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: way you were raving about his athletic ability and how 428 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:18,560 Speaker 1: he was like maybe the best athlete there with a 429 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 1: bunch of cornerbacks and wide receivers. It was freaky stuff. 430 00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: Um A, have you watched a lot of Zach and 431 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,800 Speaker 1: be what are your thoughts this year on him? I've 432 00:23:27,800 --> 00:23:29,920 Speaker 1: watched a ton of that because I feel like I 433 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,840 Speaker 1: know him and we're not the best of friends. We 434 00:23:32,840 --> 00:23:37,920 Speaker 1: don't communicate, but if we see each other, we'll speak. Um. Athletically, 435 00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,040 Speaker 1: nobody's gonna question his athleticism. He can run the four 436 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,560 Speaker 1: or five. He's gonna jump out the gym and do 437 00:23:45,640 --> 00:23:48,439 Speaker 1: any dunk you want anybody to can do like you 438 00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,280 Speaker 1: will be surprised like he's doing will Mill dunks, and 439 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,200 Speaker 1: he has a cannon for norm and he can throw 440 00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 1: the ball off platform from any angle. Now he needs 441 00:23:58,840 --> 00:24:03,320 Speaker 1: to clean up here. And because he's so talented, his 442 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:08,600 Speaker 1: arm talent is so great, he tends to get his 443 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:14,359 Speaker 1: feet out of position. Because he's so physically gifted. You 444 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:16,760 Speaker 1: can get away with that. I beat y you. This 445 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,280 Speaker 1: is the best of the best. He just needs to 446 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: clean that up because he's he's still physically talented. Now 447 00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:29,880 Speaker 1: he can go one or two ways, because mentally, you 448 00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,919 Speaker 1: want people to believe in you, and you want to 449 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:35,560 Speaker 1: believe in yourself. I believe Sunday was a step in 450 00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: the right direction through for over three hundred yards, but 451 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,080 Speaker 1: still some inaccuracies that needs to be cleaned up. I 452 00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:47,080 Speaker 1: like Zack, he can get it done, but he has 453 00:24:47,119 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: to accept accountability. I thought he was completely wrong when 454 00:24:50,520 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: he came out and said he didn't play bad. He 455 00:24:53,520 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: he was. He handled that wrong, because now the locker 456 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: rooms looking at him, like, Bro, did you really just 457 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,360 Speaker 1: say you can't always always always take the blame always? 458 00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,840 Speaker 1: Are you friendly with any of those Jets receivers, Wilson 459 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,360 Speaker 1: or Elijah More, any of those guys I wouldn't sound 460 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,920 Speaker 1: friendly with. I mean, I'm familiar with them, but I'm 461 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: not friendly you just Jason, the quarterbacks are going to 462 00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: get all the credit. We know this. Even if it's 463 00:25:18,800 --> 00:25:22,520 Speaker 1: not your fault, you take the blame. You take the 464 00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:24,840 Speaker 1: blame because when you start doing well, they're gonna give 465 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,520 Speaker 1: you all the credit. Anyway. Just take the blame, even 466 00:25:27,680 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 1: he's not a quarterback. Did you see Geo Bernard the Bucks? 467 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: Did you see the video from the locker room? Yes, 468 00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 1: and yeah, he took all the blame. He was like, 469 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,000 Speaker 1: I'm not even talking about it. It was my fault 470 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 1: and I don't even know that it was. And when 471 00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: you want a fake punt, just so you know, everybody 472 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,880 Speaker 1: has fake punts and fake field goals in the game 473 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,240 Speaker 1: plan every week. If you get a certain look in 474 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,439 Speaker 1: a certain situation, you're gonna run it if you need it. 475 00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 1: The head coach clears it. You think the special teams 476 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:56,199 Speaker 1: coach is gonna call that. The head coach has to 477 00:25:56,200 --> 00:25:58,920 Speaker 1: clear that. And so the special team coach says to 478 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:01,959 Speaker 1: the head coach, if we get this look, can we 479 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 1: do it now? The head coach will say, no, I'm 480 00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 1: not going to do it, and he said, if you 481 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,360 Speaker 1: get the look, you go for it. I don't know 482 00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:12,719 Speaker 1: who was at fault, but because g O is the 483 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 1: p P, which is the personal protector, and you set 484 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:19,840 Speaker 1: the calls and whatnot, I don't know what happened with that, 485 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,280 Speaker 1: but I know every fake plunk, fake field go the 486 00:26:23,359 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 1: head coach clears it. Yeah, it was like first possession 487 00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:28,199 Speaker 1: of the second half, deep in your own end. It 488 00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 1: was I mean, you're dominating the game, why would you 489 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,720 Speaker 1: go to that? It just felt weird. But couldn't move 490 00:26:33,720 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, there's no anything. That's what they needed. 491 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,119 Speaker 1: And hey, I'm glad it happened. It's snowballed after that 492 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 1: for your Bengals.

So freaky athlete, but 497 00:26:59,200 --> 00:27:01,720 Speaker 1: I don't, I don't. I'm loath to use the word entitled. 498 00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,680 Speaker 1: But he grew up. You know, his family has some money. 499 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 1: His uncle started an airline. That's you know, they had 500 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,160 Speaker 1: a lot of money. Is it tough to tell a kid, hey, man, 501 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: we know you have the arm strength and that can 502 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,159 Speaker 1: bail you out of a lot of crap in the 503 00:27:14,160 --> 00:27:16,879 Speaker 1: Mountain West Conference or whatever college football. But if you 504 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 1: don't get the footwork right, you're never going to get right. 505 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:21,119 Speaker 1: That's tough for him to clean up. I know that's 506 00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:26,920 Speaker 1: gonna sound for He knows. Yeah, it's just easier said 507 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,960 Speaker 1: than done when you unless you really really badly wanted, 508 00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,359 Speaker 1: and I don't. He's been told. I mean it was 509 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,840 Speaker 1: the number two pick. I don't care. When you get 510 00:27:34,880 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 1: to college, you've been coached, no coach like he didn't 511 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,919 Speaker 1: play great every game every year at b while you 512 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 1: there were some rough moments where you're going to be coached. 513 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,800 Speaker 1: And when you build a house, I don't start with 514 00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,840 Speaker 1: the roof the foundation. We start from the ground up. 515 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:57,840 Speaker 1: And everything we do in sports, it starts from the 516 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: ground up. Bobs, when they learned the box, they don't 517 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:06,120 Speaker 1: start throwing hands. We work on our stance and our 518 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:10,960 Speaker 1: feet worked first. We everything is from the ground up 519 00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 1: in every sport. It's no different than playing a quarterback. 520 00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,400 Speaker 1: He knows this. He's just gonna have to get back 521 00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:21,919 Speaker 1: to the basics. This regime Robert Sala and Joe does ess. 522 00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:26,440 Speaker 1: They drafted him number two. They want to see him succeed, 523 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:29,800 Speaker 1: but they have they owe it to the other fifty 524 00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 1: two guys on the team and the practice squad players 525 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: and the rest of those coaches to play the best guy. 526 00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 1: If Mike White is the best guy is you have 527 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:41,440 Speaker 1: to plaim, you have to claim him. I just thought 528 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,280 Speaker 1: of an analogy listening to you, um. Russell Westbrook has 529 00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 1: always been the most athletic dude. He could just jump 530 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 1: over anyone, dun't get anyone, get in the lane, get 531 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: to the hoop. And he never developed a jump shot, 532 00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,360 Speaker 1: never the form, whatever the footwork, he just never did it. 533 00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:59,520 Speaker 1: He could have, he didn't. And now here he is 534 00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 1: athleticism starting to wane, getting up there in age and 535 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 1: t J. He can't shoot, so what good is he 536 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: on the team. On the team, he doesn't set screens right, 537 00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:12,440 Speaker 1: he's not moving without the ball. What what good is he? 538 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040 Speaker 1: And he never developed the foundation like you said, And 539 00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: now Russ's like experience extreme success early in his career 540 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,240 Speaker 1: in the NBA. I mean he was a really good player. 541 00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:33,640 Speaker 1: By his second year in the NBA, Westbrook was Zach 542 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:39,800 Speaker 1: hasn't accomplished nowhere near what Westbrook is accomplished. Now, I'll 543 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,720 Speaker 1: say this, the Jets have the pieces. Defensively, they're fine, 544 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:48,560 Speaker 1: like they're really really good. Offensively, they got the guys 545 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:51,720 Speaker 1: on the outside, they were set at running back. He's hurt. 546 00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: They made draft the tackle this year and then nurse 547 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 1: sat a fast board. Come on, they did desperate for 548 00:29:58,320 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: in Becton. Sounds like he's done there, right, and so 549 00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:05,000 Speaker 1: you draft a tackle. If your quarterback can be what 550 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,800 Speaker 1: you need them to be, they have a chance. But 551 00:30:09,040 --> 00:30:12,360 Speaker 1: it's never easy in that division. The Bills are going 552 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:15,840 Speaker 1: to be good for the next seven, eight, nine years, 553 00:30:16,320 --> 00:30:20,200 Speaker 1: is healthy. The Dolphins are going to be good. Well, 554 00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 1: let's wait a second. The Dolphins are going to be good. 555 00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 1: The Dolphins are gonna be good. I wanted to play 556 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: a game with you. Just get into it and I'm like, wait, 557 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,640 Speaker 1: you're high on to U. I said before the year 558 00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 1: school was going to play pretty damn well he is okay, 559 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:40,000 Speaker 1: time out way, TJ Is it McDaniel? Is it having 560 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: McDaniel and that we we always want to put qualifiers 561 00:30:44,760 --> 00:30:49,240 Speaker 1: on the quarterbacks or just players that we don't think well, 562 00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: I mean his body of work the last two seasons 563 00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 1: was nothing close to this season. This season, he looks great. Right, 564 00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:02,720 Speaker 1: Coaching matters in NFL. What having somebody believe in you 565 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: also matters. They didn't how many offensive coordinators are to 566 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: have in his first two years? I think two or three? Yeah, 567 00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,200 Speaker 1: he had to the first year, Yeah, they were splitting. Yeah, 568 00:31:12,200 --> 00:31:17,880 Speaker 1: and then Davey like just to turnover and he had 569 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: better receivers at Alabama. With the Dolphins, I felt like 570 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: this year would be better. And does Mike McDaniels deserve 571 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 1: a ton of credit? Uh? Yeah, he's calling the plays too. 572 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:33,720 Speaker 1: Believes in him. He believes in Ta So you're gonna 573 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,880 Speaker 1: play better, You're gonna play freer. And I'll be the 574 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:40,040 Speaker 1: first admit too. Has played some bad games here recently. 575 00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:44,040 Speaker 1: The best quarterbacks in the world, which are in the NFL, 576 00:31:44,960 --> 00:31:47,080 Speaker 1: they're gonna have the best of the best, the Joe 577 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:50,239 Speaker 1: Burrows and Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allens. They're gonna have one 578 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 1: and two bad games a year, Max, Max, I mean, yeah, 579 00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,920 Speaker 1: they've they've been through it, like Mahomes was at last year. 580 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: Remember he went through that stretch with a bunch of 581 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: turnovers or was that two years. That was last year. Yeah, 582 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,720 Speaker 1: the second tier guys, they're gonna have three to four 583 00:32:07,880 --> 00:32:11,640 Speaker 1: maybe five average games a year. That's where Tour fits 584 00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:17,320 Speaker 1: in at He's ascending, he's not descending. He's accurate, he 585 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: has good receivers, he has a good coach. He didn't 586 00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: play well against the Chargers and the Niners, but outside 587 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 1: of that, he's been pretty good. So you're you're a believer. 588 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,040 Speaker 1: I'm still on the fence. Um, let's play this quick game. 589 00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:36,440 Speaker 1: Do do they take a quarterback or not? Early in 590 00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,480 Speaker 1: the draft, So we're gonna go through the team. So 591 00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: Houston's at one, they have the Okay, we'll hold up. 592 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: Do they take a defensive guy the Georgia tackle the 593 00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,360 Speaker 1: addresser from Bama and say we would rather wait for 594 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,920 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams next year? Or do they roll the dice 595 00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:56,520 Speaker 1: with Stroud Young. Some people seem to like will Levis. 596 00:32:57,200 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 1: What do you what's your gut telling you on Houston? 597 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:01,000 Speaker 1: Because there are gonna have a new coach. I don't. 598 00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,000 Speaker 1: I don't think Lovey Smith is gonna be the guy. 599 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 1: If if you okay this what all say, if you're 600 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: gonna draft a non quarterback, I believe Lovey Smith stays 601 00:33:10,840 --> 00:33:14,000 Speaker 1: the coach because he's a defensive guy, and it won't 602 00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,280 Speaker 1: really matter, right, and then you can fire them because 603 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: they're gonna lose. And then that new head coach will 604 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:20,680 Speaker 1: have Kayleb Williams because it has to be the worst 605 00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,400 Speaker 1: team in the league. That's that's what I could see happen. 606 00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 1: What is the other side of the coin? First of all, 607 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,560 Speaker 1: is Houston even a good job? It has been toxic 608 00:33:28,640 --> 00:33:34,520 Speaker 1: for a while, skill position players, it's extremely toxic um 609 00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,000 Speaker 1: And do you have any friends to this? Until I 610 00:33:39,040 --> 00:33:43,600 Speaker 1: started listening to Colin about this, and he's talks about dysfunction, 611 00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:47,480 Speaker 1: and you think talent can beat dysfunction, but it cannot 612 00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:52,080 Speaker 1: if you're not on the same page from top to bottom. 613 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,760 Speaker 1: It's tough. It's tough because at the time you can 614 00:33:55,960 --> 00:33:58,840 Speaker 1: Nicko Sario, you knew last year he was calling the shots. 615 00:33:59,200 --> 00:34:01,720 Speaker 1: You're not the coach, bro, you're calling the shots. Like 616 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:03,560 Speaker 1: is that guy going that guy's gone now or is 617 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: he still there? He's still there? Like, you can't be 618 00:34:07,200 --> 00:34:09,040 Speaker 1: telling the coach what to do. To Tom about he 619 00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: was like calling plays, like, no, your roll and just 620 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: do your job. You hired me, Let me do my job. 621 00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,920 Speaker 1: And so if they don't draft the quarterback, I believe 622 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 1: Levy Smith will be the head coach and then they 623 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,839 Speaker 1: will go for Caleb Williams next year. Which makes it Now, 624 00:34:26,840 --> 00:34:29,839 Speaker 1: does Caleb Williams want that? Who's gonna be the head coach? 625 00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: With this n I L thing? Now? Maybe they asked 626 00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:38,640 Speaker 1: Caleb Williams has input? I don't know, but I'm drafting Bryce. 627 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:46,080 Speaker 1: You up, really number one? I'm drafting Bryce worked with him? Absolutely. 628 00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,840 Speaker 1: Oh okay, well you have a person into the knowledge 629 00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:50,640 Speaker 1: of Bryce Young. First of all, let's get it out 630 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: of the way. Obviously, you're you're bigger than him, right, 631 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:59,000 Speaker 1: said again, you're bigger than Bryce Young? Oh yeah, how 632 00:34:59,080 --> 00:35:02,360 Speaker 1: now now you I mean, is he is he my height? 633 00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:06,839 Speaker 1: Because he is? They list him at six I'll say 634 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:11,880 Speaker 1: he's about pounds so he's kind of thick. He's not 635 00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:16,160 Speaker 1: like a twig like Zach Wilson's a bit of a twig. No, 636 00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:20,000 Speaker 1: he he's a little thicker than us. He's more. Zack 637 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,640 Speaker 1: is narrow in the shoulders like Bryce's and his narrow 638 00:35:23,440 --> 00:35:28,800 Speaker 1: h Bryce Young great accuracy, great pocket presence, throws with 639 00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:32,200 Speaker 1: great anticipation. I mean, you better have pocket presents when 640 00:35:32,200 --> 00:35:38,640 Speaker 1: you're five eleven. You know Josh Hills Like, yeah, um, 641 00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,440 Speaker 1: receiver most significantly what he had in college. All right, 642 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,719 Speaker 1: let's let's go to Let's skip Chicago. Obviously I like 643 00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:50,200 Speaker 1: fields three. Denver has the pick, but they don't because 644 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,760 Speaker 1: of the Russell Wilson trade. It goes to Seattle. Geno 645 00:35:53,880 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 1: Smith has exceeded expectations for much of the year. He 646 00:35:56,760 --> 00:35:59,560 Speaker 1: started to fade down the stretch, Drew locked the backup. 647 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,520 Speaker 1: You go. And let's say Houston goes defense one, Chicago 648 00:36:03,560 --> 00:36:07,919 Speaker 1: goes offensive line. Whatever Seattle do they go? Bryce Young 649 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,520 Speaker 1: definitely not. P Carl is not gonna draft a quarterback 650 00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 1: that high. He's gonna, in my opinion, stay on the 651 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,040 Speaker 1: defensive side of the ball because that's who he is. 652 00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:24,680 Speaker 1: The Seattle Seahawks defense they're not very good, um and 653 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: so they need a guy up front. I'm taking a 654 00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:32,800 Speaker 1: d tackle from Georgia Carter. Yeah, he's very Carter. Okay, 655 00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,279 Speaker 1: so that's where I would go. Gino has shown you 656 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 1: he can get it done. Yeah, well, what if they 657 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 1: missed the playoffs? So t J because it's trending that way. 658 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:43,440 Speaker 1: They're at Casey this week. They may miss the playoffs. 659 00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:48,360 Speaker 1: But going into the season, everybody said the Seattle Seahawks 660 00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:52,160 Speaker 1: would win three or four games. So they've exceeded expectations. 661 00:36:52,200 --> 00:36:54,359 Speaker 1: Now they may still get in. They do have a 662 00:36:54,440 --> 00:36:58,120 Speaker 1: tough schedule remaining. They played the Chiefs this weekend. But 663 00:36:59,200 --> 00:37:01,440 Speaker 1: I would go deep. I don't see Pete drafted a 664 00:37:01,520 --> 00:37:03,959 Speaker 1: quarterback that high, like it's just very rare. You see 665 00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:06,920 Speaker 1: defensive coaches do that. So then the next one at 666 00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:08,760 Speaker 1: four is interesting because it's supposed to be the Rams, 667 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:10,480 Speaker 1: but they don't have to pick. It goes to Detroit. 668 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:14,960 Speaker 1: Jared Goff has been pretty damn good indoors. He has 669 00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:22,080 Speaker 1: I believe three touchdown passes in six outdoor games this season. Um, 670 00:37:22,200 --> 00:37:24,040 Speaker 1: I don't know what you ride with Golf. I don't 671 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 1: even know who his backup is, but it's not a 672 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:29,399 Speaker 1: guy that's young and promising. Do you think Detroit goes QB. 673 00:37:30,600 --> 00:37:34,080 Speaker 1: Detroit would have to look hard at a CJ. Stroud 674 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:38,880 Speaker 1: because I believe Price would go one. He is the 675 00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:44,239 Speaker 1: Detroit offensive line. DJ is among the best in the league. Yeah, 676 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,879 Speaker 1: and you get Stroud in there, he can sit a year, 677 00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:51,560 Speaker 1: Golf can play that year. C J can learn that 678 00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:55,960 Speaker 1: system that offense and be ready to go. And now 679 00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:58,759 Speaker 1: they got a Rickey quarterback for four years on a 680 00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:01,960 Speaker 1: Ricky deal, be able to around them and let's go. 681 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,799 Speaker 1: So off starts year one of that Rickey quarterback, which 682 00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:11,719 Speaker 1: I believe should be c J. And after that, I 683 00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:15,080 Speaker 1: believe his contract is up or he may have another one. 684 00:38:15,480 --> 00:38:18,239 Speaker 1: You figure something out and you move on to c J. 685 00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:22,280 Speaker 1: Now you can really build a team around them because 686 00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:26,919 Speaker 1: you've got a quarterback on a Ricky contract for four years. Yeah, 687 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,000 Speaker 1: the arrows pointing up in Detroit. They're not gonna be 688 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,239 Speaker 1: I know they drafted what was it number one last 689 00:38:31,320 --> 00:38:33,919 Speaker 1: year or two? No, they drafted to Aidan Hutchinson. They're 690 00:38:33,920 --> 00:38:35,600 Speaker 1: not gonna be able to It seems like there's too 691 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 1: much talent for them to be drafting against the size. 692 00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:40,680 Speaker 1: So I agree Arizona probably not taking a quarterback, but 693 00:38:40,719 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: I think they need to draft one. They need to 694 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,360 Speaker 1: draft one in the draft, not five, but six is Indie. 695 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,320 Speaker 1: There is some chatter out there on the interwebs today 696 00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,480 Speaker 1: as we record this Tuesday, that Matt Campbell from Iowa 697 00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:56,960 Speaker 1: State will be the guy in and and he's a 698 00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:01,120 Speaker 1: team that let's hope Rice or c J Rop. They 699 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,960 Speaker 1: need a quarterback in the worst way. They need a 700 00:39:05,000 --> 00:39:10,640 Speaker 1: quarterback bad, and so they're for sure gonna draft a quarterback, 701 00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:15,600 Speaker 1: and they hope the scenario of Houston doesn't draft a 702 00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 1: quarterback because is much as Will Levice is extremely talented. 703 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:25,440 Speaker 1: It was up and down. He'll be out here with us, 704 00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,480 Speaker 1: so I'll be able to see have you seen him before? Never, 705 00:39:29,680 --> 00:39:32,600 Speaker 1: but I'll see him often. Yeah. I'll just say there's 706 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,120 Speaker 1: a couple of coaches who come through a Fox and 707 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:37,400 Speaker 1: they have their eye a little bit on college and 708 00:39:37,520 --> 00:39:40,919 Speaker 1: two of them have mentioned Will Levis before, Bryce Young 709 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,520 Speaker 1: and c J Strout. So I don't know if this 710 00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,759 Speaker 1: is like a measurable thing. One group will have c 711 00:39:47,000 --> 00:39:50,120 Speaker 1: J and Bryce and the other group will have Will. 712 00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:53,880 Speaker 1: So I'll be able to tell I'll see Mike for myself. 713 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:55,759 Speaker 1: All that is good. I We'll definitely have to have 714 00:39:55,800 --> 00:39:58,359 Speaker 1: you back, um, you know in the off season when 715 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:00,000 Speaker 1: you're training all these guys, or I'll just pop down 716 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 1: Orange County maybe run some routes. Um, all right. T J. 717 00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:08,520 Speaker 1: Hush Venzata, Fox Sports Radio. Uh, t J. Hey Man, 718 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: Happy holidays to you and your family.
