Speaker 4: ish right, right right, They'll go at some point, I

38
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,160
Speaker 4: would imagine I just told him. I'm like, look, I

39
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,840
Speaker 4: got a lot of work. But I mean a lot

40
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:12,240
Speaker 4: of work. I mean I want to watch Oregon play

41
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 4: by myself on January first. That's basically what I've told

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 4: them at this moment. But nonetheless, I'm going to talk

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: with you. Lots of football, lots of news, lots of

44
00:02:22,080 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 4: things happen in the world, of sports.

45
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 2: All right, let's start off in college football. Let's start

46
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 2: off with Michigan, because the big news yesterday called Whittingham

47
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 2: is the coach.

48
00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:33,560
Speaker 3: I will say.

49
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 2: We touched on it last hour, but Penn State and

50
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:42,960
Speaker 2: Michigan both I think escaped. They got lucky because I

51
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,920
Speaker 2: think Whittingham is a good choice for Michigan after the

52
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 2: mess that was made with Seron Moore, and Penn State

53
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 2: of course landed Matt Campbell, and I think that was

54
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: good for their program. So I think Michigan winds up

55
00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,239
Speaker 2: kind of luck it out it could have been.

56
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 4: So this is such a win for Michigan. Even if

57
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 4: you told me that Michigan was replacing Sharono with Kyle

58
00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 4: Whittingham after the season, knowing there were no scandals, I'd

59
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 4: be like, yeah, okay, that's a much better upgrade. Yew,

60
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 4: you have a scandal that threns to ruin your program.

61
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:25,960
Speaker 4: It's peers. Nobody really wanted that job, right, a lot

62
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 4: of people. It seemed like we're up for it, but

63
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 4: in the end didn't want it, didn't get it, and

64
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:36,040
Speaker 4: you luck out with Kyle Whittingham. I don't this incredible

65
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 4: fortune that they ended up with with with Utah's coach.

66
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: I know Kyle Whodhem well, obviously I did packed on

67
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 4: radio for many years when he was in the conference.

68
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 4: My co host went to Utah, lives in Utah, does

69
00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 4: radio in Utah. Now I know the program Utah's program

70
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:58,640
Speaker 4: very well. I know Kyle Whitdehem very well. Just from

71
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:04,160
Speaker 4: a fit of we're gonna keep the identity of what

72
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,840
Speaker 4: Michigan has done for so many years. This is a

73
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 4: home run hit, right, because you're gonna run the ball,

74
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,320
Speaker 4: you're gonna be physical, you're gonna play discipline football, You're

75
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 4: going to try to beat up the opponent. All those

76
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: things are hugely important insensive Michigan over the years. And

77
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 4: then of course there's zero schedule cowed of him, absolutely nothing.

78
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:25,680
Speaker 4: You know, I saw there was a you know, joking

79
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:28,159
Speaker 4: tweets that on Instagram he follows like just his wife

80
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 4: and kids. That that's you know, like, that's what he is.

81
00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 4: He's been at one place in the world.

82
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:35,720
Speaker 3: Coach.

83
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,680
Speaker 4: Well, it's funny, is he actually like he is very interesting?

84
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,720
Speaker 4: He's well, I know he is. He's you have no

85
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 4: scandals with with uh with Whittingham, and a couple of

86
00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 4: things I think Michigan fans are not Michigan fan but

87
00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 4: just sort of you know, house state fans. Whoever's talking

88
00:04:51,480 --> 00:04:56,880
Speaker 4: down about this this higher people will point to the

89
00:04:57,000 --> 00:04:59,400
Speaker 4: two years before that he was ten two this year.

90
00:04:59,440 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 4: The previous two years he was I think went five

91
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,480
Speaker 4: wins and eight wins. Those two years he had no quarterbacks.

92
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,040
Speaker 4: His quarterbacks were hurt and then other players were hurt

93
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 4: as well. Last year was a was a year from

94
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:13,279
Speaker 4: it was a bad year of injury wise, and he

95
00:05:13,320 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: bounced back this year to win ten games. So in

96
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 4: the three previous years he had a healthy quarterback, he

97
00:05:18,040 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 4: went won ten over ten games and made two Rose

98
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:24,080
Speaker 4: Bulls in a row, and then two years they had injuries,

99
00:05:24,480 --> 00:05:26,360
Speaker 4: and this year they did that he won ten games. Yeah,

100
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 4: he's been a winner many times over. He led Utah

101
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 4: from the Mountain West to the Pac twelve and they

102
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:38,880
Speaker 4: won the Pack twelve like that. That story is underreported

103
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 4: in my mind, the success he had of doing that,

104
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 4: they had to reinvent the entire program. They had to

105
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 4: bring in more bodies, Like his record would be even

106
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,880
Speaker 4: better if they didn't have to spend four years retooling

107
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 4: the program, which they did to get bodies to playing

108
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 4: the Pack twelve conference. So I think this is just

109
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 4: it's just this could have been better for for mission

110
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 4: end up with with Kyle Whittingham, the surroundings of him

111
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 4: leaving Utah are not very complicated, So I I hate

112
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:15,359
Speaker 4: hates the wrong word. I don't strongly dislike the coach

113
00:06:15,360 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 4: and waiting moniker. Okay. So oftentimes in college football there

114
00:06:21,640 --> 00:06:25,039
Speaker 4: is this idea that a coach will be the coach

115
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 4: in waiting, right, So you know, the current head coach

116
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:31,279
Speaker 4: is older, and there's an assistant coach on the staff,

117
00:06:31,320 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 4: and when the older coach retires, the assistant coach becomes

118
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 4: the new coach, and because he's been he's promised, right,

119
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: but actually succession. But in this case it's actually any

120
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:47,360
Speaker 4: Morgan's guy's contract. He's the coach in waiting. So Kyle

121
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: Whodeham is basically threatened said he's gonna retire for a

122
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 4: couple of years now, and the thought was this year

123
00:06:54,440 --> 00:06:56,120
Speaker 4: he was going to retire. It was finally gonna happen.

124
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 4: Right his last home game, he was very emotional and

125
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,080
Speaker 4: everyone thought he was gonna retire, and then it seemed

126
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,120
Speaker 4: like he decided not to retire, and so but they

127
00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:09,240
Speaker 4: asked him to step aside so Morgan Skyley can run

128
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 4: the program now. And now, obviously Winningham is not the

129
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:17,520
Speaker 4: Misigan coach, so UTAH didn't fire him. It wasn't that

130
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,520
Speaker 4: you didn't really want him anymore. They just wanted the

131
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,720
Speaker 4: guy that they kept telling everyone was going to be

132
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 4: the coach in waiting. But they forced out a Hall

133
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 4: of fame coach for a coach who's never coached before,

134
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,400
Speaker 4: And that to me is really bad process by Utah.

135
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: If Kyle Whateningham wants to stay and be your coach,

136
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 4: he's staying. He's gonna be your coach, And UTAH really

137
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:40,280
Speaker 4: messed this up.

138
00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:47,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is this fascination that we have behind you know,

139
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: Curt number three right determined it Like, oh my god,

140
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 2: what if?

141
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 3: What if it's the next greatest? What if this guy

142
00:07:58,280 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 3: is the next greatest coach?

143
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, when you got proven people that have already won, ye, Like,

144
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 2: what are you looking for? Like we're almost always looking

145
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 2: for something that doesn't exist.

146
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm Utah fans telling me that that Morgan Scalley

147
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:22,360
Speaker 4: is a coaching waiting. The decordinator is is wit two

148
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 4: point zero? I'm like I don't know he's not caught

149
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 4: winning him. I mean, here, here's the thing you got, wit, Like,

150
00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 4: what are you trying to do? Like, here's you forgot

151
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 4: how to coach. Here's the thing about coaching waiting though,

152
00:08:35,240 --> 00:08:38,559
Speaker 4: that that really makes it difficult for me, is that

153
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 4: you don't know if that coach is going to be

154
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,480
Speaker 4: good first of all, right, but also limits your opportunities

155
00:08:44,520 --> 00:08:46,320
Speaker 4: to find maybe a better coach. Like like, what if

156
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 4: Utah's job opened up and Matt Campbell wanted that job.

157
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,199
Speaker 4: Let's just say, Matt Campbell, He's just been a Utah guy.

158
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,960
Speaker 4: He's always eyed that job, right, and he wants that job.

159
00:08:54,360 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 4: Are you really going to turn down Matt Campbell to

160
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,199
Speaker 4: keep Morgan Scalley. I wouldn't. But it's more it's this

161
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: guy's contract that he's next up. And look, Kyle Whittingham

162
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 4: my knock on. Utah has always been offensively, they've just

163
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:10,679
Speaker 4: been lacking at the wide receiver, which they have. But

164
00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 4: this past year he had won the best offense lines

165
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 4: of the country. He went out and hired an offensive

166
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,160
Speaker 4: coordinator from New Mexico that really never fit the profile

167
00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,360
Speaker 4: of what he had done in the past on offense.

168
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 4: He branched out at sixty six. He decided to run

169
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,439
Speaker 4: a different offense, which I love. I love that he

170
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 4: branched out and they ran a different offense than he's

171
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 4: ever ran before this beast year. It worked right one

172
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 4: bet offensive country. So the ability to adapt at his

173
00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:36,839
Speaker 4: age I think is really impressive because a lot of

174
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 4: older coaches we know just don't want to ever adapt

175
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:41,040
Speaker 4: and do what they always do.

176
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: Is.

177
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:43,960
Speaker 4: Recruiting has been better the last couple of years in Utah.

178
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:46,559
Speaker 4: Now he goes to Michigan, he gets spriceed Underwood. He

179
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,959
Speaker 4: has the resources of that program. Man. I just I

180
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 4: think Michigan couldn't have gotten any luckier that they ended

181
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,640
Speaker 4: up with Colin. It's not a guy probably there ten

182
00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 4: years obviously, but a guy who very clearly still wanted

183
00:09:59,720 --> 00:10:02,920
Speaker 4: to coach and was forced out at Utah. And now

184
00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 4: you's got to live with that decision. I think that's insane.

185
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 4: But hey, man, I'm not you doest a d and

186
00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 4: good for coach Coach Win. I like Coach Wit. He's

187
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:14,440
Speaker 4: a good dude. He's gonna be fun interview, he's gonna

188
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,880
Speaker 4: be honest, and he loves football. Man. He's a football guy.

189
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:19,760
Speaker 4: So great fit for Michigan.

190
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:22,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I completely agree.

191
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:25,719
Speaker 2: I thought, you know, it's funny because we were all like,

192
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 2: oh my god, what are you going to do? You

193
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,400
Speaker 2: lose your coach at this stage of the game and

194
00:10:29,480 --> 00:10:32,440
Speaker 2: a whole night, and it turned out.

195
00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 4: To be a blessing. It's because he's got so lucky.

196
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 4: But he did. He just and maybe they were talking

197
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 4: for a while. Now I don't think so. I think

198
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,760
Speaker 4: that Whittingham decided or Utah decided basically to get rid

199
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: of him, and this just happened to work out for

200
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 4: Michigan the way it did. And you know, he said

201
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,439
Speaker 4: when he was leaving Utah that he was going to

202
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:55,679
Speaker 4: try to leave it in a better place. And then

203
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 4: he's now he's gouging all the coaches, which should because

204
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:03,679
Speaker 4: why I you told me I had to leave, I

205
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 4: left and I got Yeah. I think he's gonna take

206
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,079
Speaker 4: the offensive line coach was really good. I think he's

207
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:12,559
Speaker 4: gonna take well, he's taking the OC He already said that,

208
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 4: I believe, And now I mean, good luck. You taught. Look,

209
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:17,640
Speaker 4: you asked for this. This is what you wanted, right,

210
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 4: You wanted to go to Morgan Scalley, and now you

211
00:11:20,440 --> 00:11:24,040
Speaker 4: get what you asked for, so yet I think it's bold.

212
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:27,600
Speaker 4: I probably would have kept if I wanted to keep coaching,

213
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: But now Michigan gets the benefit of having coach witness

214
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,079
Speaker 4: their head coach, and he'll be announced. I believe today

215
00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:35,960
Speaker 4: is going to their bowl game, right or tomorrow? Whatever?

216
00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,959
Speaker 4: Did they play today? No, no, they're not one of

217
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,080
Speaker 4: the teams to play to day. But I think he's

218
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,679
Speaker 4: going to Orlando today to meet with the players and

219
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,719
Speaker 4: the coaches that they're still there, and some families because look,

220
00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,000
Speaker 4: it's a bowl game, right, so the families of the

221
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,319
Speaker 4: Michigan players are in Orlando. So it's a good opportunity

222
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:52,079
Speaker 4: for me to get to know the fail. Like they're

223
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 4: gonna dude, they're gonna love him.

224
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,559
Speaker 3: Man, Remember they got Texas wednesday.

225
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:00,440
Speaker 4: Dude, looking too, is like you're gonna have a guy

226
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 4: who the families love man?

227
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 3: Like is is you know?

228
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:10,360
Speaker 4: He he is a family guy, he's loyal, he's committed,

229
00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:14,120
Speaker 4: no scandals and and look this, I think this does matter.

230
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:17,679
Speaker 4: He might not be religious in the same way that

231
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 4: everyone else is religious, Like he's not. He's Mormon, right,

232
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 4: but that being religious does matter as a coach, Like

233
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:29,240
Speaker 4: the football is a is a sport that a lot

234
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,360
Speaker 4: of players are very religious, right, and I think a

235
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: man of faith it might not be the same faith.

236
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 4: You believe it exactly, but like a man of faith

237
00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 4: does go you know this, you're you're in the community

238
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,199
Speaker 4: of the football community. It goes a long way.

239
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 3: Like it's a it's a very possitive it is. It's

240
00:12:43,400 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 3: a big.

241
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,640
Speaker 4: It's a big positive. Again, he's Mormon, so he's not

242
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,480
Speaker 4: It might not be the same religion as other players.

243
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 4: I imagine most players mission are not Mormon, but the

244
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 4: fact is like families will appreciate his commitment to religion, right,

245
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 4: and that's a go way when he talks to the

246
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,240
Speaker 4: family members as he tries to make in road, says, look,

247
00:13:04,360 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 4: you know, the portal's gonna open up soon. The number

248
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: one job of him is keeping Bryce underwood. And a

249
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 4: man of faith will help all of this.

250
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:16,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think I think you're you're

251
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 2: right there. How do you It's funny you mentioned does

252
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 2: you just asked flippantly?

253
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:24,400
Speaker 4: You know?

254
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,960
Speaker 3: Can the Michigan play is Michigan playing today? Right?

255
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 2: So there's eight Bowl games today, Yeah, and and none

256
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 2: of them are really any good from b.

257
00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:36,760
Speaker 4: YU the Pop Darks bull should be good the b

258
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 4: YU Tech game, right, this would be okay? Yeah yeah,

259
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:45,360
Speaker 4: but what do you do with the Bulls?

260
00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:51,920
Speaker 2: Like we everything needs to be figured out, Like what's

261
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: gonna happen with the playoffs next year? I guess there's

262
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 2: gonna be expansion, right, But the balls also, you know

263
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:02,800
Speaker 2: the portal dates and kids playing and you know, teams

264
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:08,199
Speaker 2: not taking bowl games, Like it's just weird because it's

265
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,640
Speaker 2: such a heavy ball day today and they had me

266
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 2: thinking about I love ball season, but these games are hard,

267
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,760
Speaker 2: like almost unwatchable anymore so.

268
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: Man, When I was a kid, I loved watching the Bulls.

269
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,280
Speaker 4: I waited and by the way, like today about today

270
00:14:28,520 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 4: was not on a Saturday. But I always looked at

271
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 4: the Holiday Bowl, which you said about about YU about

272
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,760
Speaker 4: this time December twenty eight, twenty seventh, as like the

273
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: standard of when bull season started, right, that was like

274
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,520
Speaker 4: that was the best typically the best bowl game that

275
00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:50,560
Speaker 4: wasn't a New Year's Day bawl, Right, it was that

276
00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:52,640
Speaker 4: the Alimble Bowl, like you know, those were like the

277
00:14:52,680 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 4: big ones, right, And I always viewed it as like

278
00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:57,680
Speaker 4: the start of ball seas like I used to love

279
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,520
Speaker 4: it because it was a pat twelve school was in

280
00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 4: it a a big twelve school is in at sort

281
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,320
Speaker 4: of schools you knew, and there were Again it was

282
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:06,200
Speaker 4: like the best of the rest, right that did make

283
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:10,760
Speaker 4: a BCS Bowl or or whatever else. So now obviously

284
00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 4: the Bulls are such a hodge podge. Look, I will

285
00:15:13,880 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 4: watch football today. I actually think I'm not going to

286
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 4: bet on a single game today. Betting on the bowl

287
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,119
Speaker 4: games have been just who knows about. It's a complete crapshoot,

288
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 4: no no idea what's happening because of course you opt out,

289
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 4: you have a lot of things happening in with rosters

290
00:15:29,800 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 4: and and everything that flucks. I've enjoyed watching the football,

291
00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 4: but it's tough to have any connection to to these

292
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: games today because a lot of players have opted out

293
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: to the NFL or the portal. You know, the care factor,

294
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 4: I don't know. I don't know if the team's gonna care.

295
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 4: I don't know if by using a care today, I

296
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,040
Speaker 4: think they're gonna care, but I don't know if they're

297
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 4: gonna care, And that plays I think a big role

298
00:15:54,880 --> 00:15:56,320
Speaker 4: in how we view a lot of these games. So

299
00:15:57,640 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: I'll watch them, but I don't think I really going

300
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: to care very much.

301
00:16:02,760 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I just you know, there needs almost to be.

302
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 4: Some sort of system where they're they're incorporated into these into.

303
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:15,480
Speaker 3: The playoffs or you know, I don't know.

304
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:18,480
Speaker 2: I mean I love the balls, and I just you

305
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: just got me thinking about it, you know, when you're

306
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 2: looking at it, because even even you know again now

307
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 2: next week, as the week goes on, it's going to

308
00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:32,000
Speaker 2: get better. And but still right like I was talking

309
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: to my buddy Matt Ruhle, and you know, they're not

310
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,520
Speaker 2: in a great position right now, but they're playing on

311
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 2: New Year's Eve Day right like they got a pretty

312
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 2: they got a prime spot.

313
00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,000
Speaker 4: I it's so funny. I'll give you a good example

314
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 4: of the ball season.

315
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 3: Right.

316
00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:50,040
Speaker 4: So we've talked about this game before Nebraska and Utah.

317
00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,080
Speaker 4: I love Utah. I loved Utah in this game. I

318
00:16:53,160 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 4: made a wager on this game. I took Utah in

319
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 4: this game, and then their coach leaves and now it's like,

320
00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 4: well I don't like it as much anym or Right,

321
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 4: this is what bull is where it's just so unpredictable

322
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:10,320
Speaker 4: and you know you have a handicap for a team

323
00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:14,120
Speaker 4: and someone sits out or vice versa, and yeah, it's

324
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 4: just the bull season is again like they like the

325
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:22,160
Speaker 4: care factor, Like why does Nebraskas use them? For example,

326
00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 4: they already have uh you know, they're they're eyeing a

327
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 4: new quarterback right as a quarterback left of the portal,

328
00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 4: they have a new coaches all over the roster, right,

329
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,960
Speaker 4: new DC and new off it's a line coach. The

330
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,240
Speaker 4: other changes are along the roster. I get they're supposed

331
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:40,680
Speaker 4: to care about this bowl game, Like I understand that,

332
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: and it'd be good to beat Utah. But the fact is,

333
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,240
Speaker 4: this game doesn't mean anything for next season, right, Like

334
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:49,520
Speaker 4: the quarterback playing in this game, you know probably the

335
00:17:49,560 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 4: backup right is not going to be the quarterback next year, right,

336
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:57,639
Speaker 4: And it doesn't really feel like the game matters for

337
00:17:57,760 --> 00:18:00,520
Speaker 4: that Now for Utah, I actually think that does matter

338
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,720
Speaker 4: because now Morgan Scalley is coaching his first game. Like

339
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,040
Speaker 4: the matter does it matter to me? Is a big

340
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:11,680
Speaker 4: part of this whole process Utah. I would imagine the

341
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:14,280
Speaker 4: bowl game matters for them, right, new coaching staff is

342
00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 4: getting the first off quard beat like it matters. Nebraska

343
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 4: doesn't matter. I don't think any of the games forecast,

344
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:23,200
Speaker 4: what's gonna happen next season. But even looking at it today,

345
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 4: like Penn State Clemson are playing. Okay, Penn State obviously

346
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 4: is a brand new coach. The roster will look completely

347
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 4: different next year. Clemson seven to five, their worst season

348
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 4: in years? Who care? Like, who's going to care? Like

349
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 4: this game is playing the Yankee Stadium too, Like yeah,

350
00:18:41,119 --> 00:18:42,200
Speaker 4: who freak?

351
00:18:42,600 --> 00:18:46,399
Speaker 3: And by the way, it's freezing, Yeah I don't. We

352
00:18:46,520 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: just got a storm stormine.

353
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,040
Speaker 4: I also have like a hot take where like bowl

354
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: games should only be played in warm weather cities. But

355
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,040
Speaker 4: that's a different Like I just think that your reward

356
00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,960
Speaker 4: for a season of making a bowldout Penn State and Clemson.

357
00:18:57,960 --> 00:18:59,440
Speaker 4: Don't look at this as a reward. I'll tell you that.

358
00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:02,920
Speaker 4: But you know you look at you look at Army

359
00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 4: and Yukon.

360
00:19:04,280 --> 00:19:07,159
Speaker 3: I agree. I agree with either a dome or a

361
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 3: warm weather play. So yeah, I agree.

362
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:13,280
Speaker 4: So Yukon Army are playing today in uh in the Fenway, Okay,

363
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,520
Speaker 4: in Boston. Yukon's nine and three like a great season.

364
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 4: Their reward is playing in fourteen degrees and in in

365
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 4: in a baseball stadium.

366
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, but if you're a Yukon playing at Fatways, cool.

367
00:19:29,040 --> 00:19:30,880
Speaker 4: I guess, but your what should be going to play

368
00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 4: in a nice warm weather city. Yeah, like I get it,

369
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:35,680
Speaker 4: I get it, but like you know, I mean it

370
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 4: is cool. You're playing at the Snoop the Snoop Dog

371
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,800
Speaker 4: Snoop Dog Bowl today. Yeah, yeah, that was that. That

372
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,600
Speaker 4: was the old barstool Bowl, right that the area of

373
00:19:43,640 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 4: the balls changed changed, And we have a new Mexico

374
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 4: Bowl today, a Gator Bowl, which used to be a

375
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,080
Speaker 4: pretty fun game. That might be interesting, but Missouri's court

376
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:53,040
Speaker 4: bra situation is bad. And then we have a Texas

377
00:19:53,080 --> 00:19:55,920
Speaker 4: Bowl tonight between LSU. Again, like, what is else? Do

378
00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 4: you care about that game tonight?

379
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:02,479
Speaker 2: I know I out mine out. Well let's do this though.

380
00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: Let we're gonna take quick t oh. There are two

381
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:10,080
Speaker 2: NFL games the other Now. The last two weeks in

382
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 2: the season is bizarre. Man, it almost feels like we're

383
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 2: limping into the end before we gear it back up

384
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,400
Speaker 2: for the playoffs. So let's kind of dive into where

385
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:30,719
Speaker 2: we stand as we enter week sixteen of the NFL season.

386
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:37,359

419
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 2: Week seventeen in the NFL got on their way Christmas Day.

420
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:16,000
Speaker 2: Any thoughts on the Christmas Day games which were all

421
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 2: duds to be honest with you.

422
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: So we've had seven holiday games so far this year,

423
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,520
Speaker 4: three on Thanksgiving, one on Black Friday, three on Christmas,

424
00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: all underdogs covered in the games, and five went out right,

425
00:22:32,080 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 4: which is cod Are you serious? Yeah?

426
00:22:34,720 --> 00:22:39,680
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah, yeah, it's been. It's wow.

427
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,400
Speaker 4: That's wild. All three covered with ease the other day.

428
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,399
Speaker 4: I think the story of Christmas is the Lions, right,

429
00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:53,600
Speaker 4: their window is closed. So this is how fast windows

430
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 4: can close. In the NFL. You have a short window.

431
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 4: Even when they lost the Niners in the NFC Championship.

432
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:01,919
Speaker 4: Dan can Amble said after the game, like you never

433
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 4: know when you're gonna be back, and right now the

434
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:07,680
Speaker 4: Lions are and I understand the thought of like, you know,

435
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 4: Lions fans are like, you know, we we we retool,

436
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:16,800
Speaker 4: and I maybe maybe, but your division is getting tougher

437
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:21,879
Speaker 4: very you know, with kill Williams emerging. Now, you know

438
00:23:21,920 --> 00:23:25,360
Speaker 4: the Packers always going to be good. I maybe maybe

439
00:23:25,400 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 4: you get back to Jared Goff will be a year older.

440
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,240
Speaker 4: You need some improvements on the offensive line, need some

441
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:32,560
Speaker 4: improvements on defense. Hopefully you stay health and that'll be

442
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:35,240
Speaker 4: a big benefit. But you sort of had a shot

443
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 4: and it didn't go well. You lost close enerty jump game.

444
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,399
Speaker 4: You got blown out last year because of a injurers

445
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 4: in the division A round and I mean.

446
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,480
Speaker 3: I mean the ultimate, the ultimate. They've been stake pitched.

447
00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:50,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, of course, but I think that they I think

448
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 4: they just I don't know if they're that good on defense,

449
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 4: if they're all healthy. Anyways, I think that defense last

450
00:23:57,640 --> 00:24:01,959
Speaker 4: year they were good. They got smash on defense well

451
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,680
Speaker 4: of course, but this year wasn't that bad in all

452
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,280
Speaker 4: season and they had some obviously moments that their defense

453
00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 4: had a lot of injuries. So the window to me

454
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 4: is just sort of closed right now for the Lions,

455
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,520
Speaker 4: and you know they'll run it back next year. They

456
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,560
Speaker 4: really need a new offense coordinator, right Dan Campbell's incredible

457
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,600
Speaker 4: head coach, but they need someone to run the offense. Obviously,

458
00:24:22,640 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 4: with Ben Johnson gone, it was just a different offense.

459
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 4: This year is as expected, Dan Campbell took a big

460
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,879
Speaker 4: role in that offense because he had to. Essentially, I

461
00:24:30,920 --> 00:24:34,160
Speaker 4: think that he's best if he's just a CEO head coach,

462
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,400
Speaker 4: and so hiring a new OC will be very valuable

463
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 4: and important for the Lions. But that's I mean, look,

464
00:24:41,080 --> 00:24:44,400
Speaker 4: they lost a game where you know, they were minus

465
00:24:44,440 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 4: six and turnovers. I get that, but until Broze were

466
00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 4: completed a pass at the end of the game for

467
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 4: ten yards, the vikings were minus seven and team passing

468
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,000
Speaker 4: because sacks go to team passing. It was a gross

469
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 4: game and the Lions just can't lose that game if

470
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 4: there be if they're a serious team this year, and

471
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 4: they're not, it's why that they're where they are right now.

472
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 4: And that to me is the big takeaway from from

473
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 4: you know, Christmas and you look the Broncos.

474
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,840
Speaker 2: To me, well wait, hold on, they don't leave the

475
00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:21,479
Speaker 2: line to ship, Okay, because I think their problems, I mean,

476
00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 2: obviously their defense is secondary. Guy, they got emaciated with injuries,

477
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:28,040
Speaker 2: the whole mind.

478
00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 3: We know that.

479
00:25:29,280 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 2: But their biggest problem on offense was less Dan Campbell

480
00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:37,760
Speaker 2: my eyes, but more their offensive line. Right, Like, they

481
00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,720
Speaker 2: couldn't run the ball. There were there were four games

482
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:46,320
Speaker 2: in the last seven where they just couldn't run the

483
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,880
Speaker 2: ball at all, Like Gibbs, who I thought was unstoppable,

484
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 2: got taken.

485
00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: Out, right, So we had Dan Miller the Lions playably

486
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: played on the radio the other day, and then I

487
00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:03,040
Speaker 4: think he mentioned Frank Now's name seven times, who was

488
00:26:03,080 --> 00:26:06,000
Speaker 4: a former center who retired at the beginning of the

489
00:26:06,040 --> 00:26:08,040
Speaker 4: season with because the injuries. And then I'll started trying

490
00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 4: to come back with a Grade three hamstring tear, which

491
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,720
Speaker 4: is wild that even thought he has a physical with

492
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 4: a tear like that. But look, they have to figure

493
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,760
Speaker 4: that out obviously, right, because you're not gonna I if

494
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:24,879
Speaker 4: he's that important, which I argue he obviously clearly was.

495
00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 4: You have to figure that part out because you can't

496
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:30,440
Speaker 4: go to the next season with that big of a

497
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,239
Speaker 4: of a loss at center. I don't know. If it's

498
00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 4: the draft, then they draft of Tate Religie, maybe he

499
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,960
Speaker 4: becomes your full time center moving forward. He wasn't ready

500
00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 4: for that this season, so that that's only possible that

501
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 4: he becomes your guy. But until you figure that out,

502
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 4: you know clearly you're just not gonna be as good

503
00:26:46,040 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 4: on offense, and you need to figure that position out. Yeah, yeah,

504
00:26:50,240 --> 00:27:00,600
Speaker 4: big time all right, the Denver Man, No, what a

505
00:27:00,680 --> 00:27:05,600
Speaker 4: fucky game. I uh, I have my reservations about them still,

506
00:27:05,640 --> 00:27:08,360
Speaker 4: I still think they're a very talented team. Box sort

507
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 4: of just makes plays at the end of games. He

508
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 4: has to. I mean, dude, this team was it was

509
00:27:16,040 --> 00:27:18,600
Speaker 4: thirteen thirteen right at one point in the fourth quarter,

510
00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:23,000
Speaker 4: but Chiefs had ninety five yards on offense. Yeah, I took.

511
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 4: I took the Chiefs under ten and a half points,

512
00:27:26,640 --> 00:27:30,639
Speaker 4: and I lost the wager because the Chiefs scored thirteen

513
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,600
Speaker 4: points on ninety five yards on offense.

514
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:35,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, which is insane.

515
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 4: As the Bronx are gonna have the one seam most likely,

516
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,280
Speaker 4: I think, and that puts them in a great spot

517
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 4: to the the AFC. So uh, scale won the ten

518
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:54,520
Speaker 4: year Belief on the in the Broncos because I there's

519
00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:58,280
Speaker 4: something about that team that I just don't buy. It's

520
00:27:58,320 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 4: both you don't buy boecks, That's what it is. I

521
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 4: think having I think having home field is hugely important

522
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:10,560
Speaker 4: in this playoff because it's just one less game to

523
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: play for all these teams that we don't really trust.

524
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 4: It's that simple, right, Like it's one less game. The

525
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: Bronles have to play. It's one less game that the

526
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:21,919
Speaker 4: Patriots would have to be. The Patriots to me, are

527
00:28:22,080 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 4: even more for a game, mean patriar being this season

528
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:29,560
Speaker 4: had been two teams with a ready record. That's it. Yeah,

529
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,560
Speaker 4: but I love Drake May. Yeah, but Drake May is

530
00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,640
Speaker 4: really good. He's just it's just not their time yet.

531
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:39,600
Speaker 4: Like that, I think Drake May next year. I think

532
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 4: you look at the Patriots next year, you feel great

533
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 4: about them. But right now it's just not it's not

534
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:45,400
Speaker 4: their time, which is fine. I mean, that's what happens

535
00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:49,160
Speaker 4: with with young teams. Jackson had a great win last

536
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 4: week at Denver. I personally still have reservations about Trevor Lawrence.

537
00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:57,240
Speaker 4: We'll see in the coup post season time. You know,

538
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,080
Speaker 4: Buffalo is still hanging around. Of course, they have a

539
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 4: big game, it's your score later this weekend. Again with them,

540
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: their defense is just not good. It's not good. So

541
00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 4: a lot of question marks for the teams in the

542
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:14,360
Speaker 4: a f C. And nothing really we saw on Saturday

543
00:29:14,800 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 4: on Thursday. Change and my squad's playing today. Oh no, no,

544
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 4: it's say Saturday, yeah, squad, squad. You tease me about

545
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 4: the Texans. Oh, you're yeah, well that game your other

546
00:29:29,240 --> 00:29:31,760
Speaker 4: squad does play today. You're a Texas team, the best

547
00:29:31,800 --> 00:29:35,520
Speaker 4: team the NFL. That game will be interesting because I

548
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,000
Speaker 4: ain't No one's scoring that game. I have no faith

549
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:48,920
Speaker 4: anyone's scoring. And I like CJ Man, I root for CJ. Yeah,

550
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 4: I mean I don't. I don't not root for anybody.

551
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:56,040
Speaker 4: But the playoffield is set basically right, The NFC is set,

552
00:29:56,160 --> 00:29:58,200
Speaker 4: we know the eight, we know the eight teams that

553
00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 4: can make it. The NC South is still up for grabs.

554
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,080
Speaker 4: Then the West is all progressed. We know the teams

555
00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,080
Speaker 4: are going to be in there, so a little anti

556
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,040
Speaker 4: climbact as we get to I know, good Dell probably

557
00:30:08,040 --> 00:30:09,400
Speaker 4: hates that we get to this point of season and

558
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,160
Speaker 4: we sort of know you know who the Pluto playoff

559
00:30:12,160 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 4: teams are gonna be.

560
00:30:13,920 --> 00:30:18,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, because all like like thig about it, all three

561
00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:22,400
Speaker 2: games were duds to watch on Christmas Day. I watched

562
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 2: all of them, though, well most of America did, right,

563
00:30:26,640 --> 00:30:28,080
Speaker 2: like we all watch football.

564
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 4: But everyone convinced me the NBA is more popular on Christmas.

565
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,120
Speaker 2: Nah, I think the ratings already show it. The NBA

566
00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:41,320
Speaker 2: was Actually I felt really entertaining on Christmas Day.

567
00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:43,400
Speaker 3: The only thing it.

568
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,920
Speaker 4: Sucks is I didn't stand up for the fifty five

569
00:30:46,520 --> 00:30:49,960
Speaker 4: fifteen to fifteen game from Yokis unfortunately. Yeah, he's he's

570
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 4: just ridiculous, dude. Eighteen points in overtime. I mean, that's

571
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,280
Speaker 4: just unbelievable.

572
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 3: I watched it. He's unbelieved, He's just there is a

573
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,960
Speaker 3: point shame on me.

574
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: Right where I thought that Embiid was better, it was

575
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 2: a brief moment in time. Nevertheless, I thought Embiid was

576
00:31:12,800 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 2: better because Embid played def like was a defense for

577
00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,960
Speaker 2: for us too, right, like he could be a rim protector.

578
00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:24,240
Speaker 4: I should admit that you thought that.

579
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: I know, well, I show you up to stand up

580
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:29,080
Speaker 2: die man, I like, you know, I keep it real,

581
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 2: right like when I look when I and I noticed,

582
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:35,080
Speaker 2: I said, there was a brief moment when that happened.

583
00:31:34,840 --> 00:31:38,760
Speaker 4: A brief moment of madness. Yeah, Yoka is incredible. So

584
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 4: uh but today's game is though the first game is great,

585
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,560
Speaker 4: Texans Charger is going to be a great matchup. It's

586
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:47,520
Speaker 4: hugely important for AFC. It's hugely important thing for both teams.

587
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 3: I don't believe in the Chargers. That's an all things.

588
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,480
Speaker 4: Well, I think I think Tod you what will show

589
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:54,800
Speaker 4: us a lot, and I love Herbert, but I just

590
00:31:54,880 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 4: don't believe in their offense. Well, there's a thing Today

591
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:05,440
Speaker 4: feels like a day that the will know about their

592
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:08,440
Speaker 4: offense because they're gonna have to win games like these

593
00:32:08,520 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 4: in the playoffs. The I think, I think no one's

594
00:32:12,080 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 4: scoring in this game. The total super low. You know,

595
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,560
Speaker 4: the the Chargers offensive line has issues, the Texans offensive

596
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:22,760
Speaker 4: line has issues. Their defenses are both playing very well.

597
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 4: I think they're set up to play very well. I

598
00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 4: think this game is a very physical game. I mean,

599
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,080
Speaker 4: it's a tough game. And I think that the under

600
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 4: is is what how this game ends up? So, you know,

601
00:32:37,560 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 4: curious to see obviously the final result of this one,

602
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:44,920
Speaker 4: but I do think that the under is certainly in player. Yeah, yeah, I.

603
00:32:45,440 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: Mean I agree with those two defenses. I feel you,

604
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 2: all right, let's go through the we're gonna keep God,

605
00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,880
Speaker 2: I really want to kind of dive deeply into the

606
00:32:57,040 --> 00:32:58,800
Speaker 2: kind of what we're going to learn from this week,

607
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 2: and then we got college football to really go into.

608
00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,840
Speaker 2: No Brain today, I have his picks, but no Brain,

609
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 2: it's gonna bump you out.

610
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:12,040
Speaker 4: We cannot by the way skip to the Labar Jackson

611
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:14,960
Speaker 4: convo because that that, to me is maybe the most

612
00:33:14,960 --> 00:33:16,920
Speaker 4: fascinating thing of this entire day. It's not even anyone

613
00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:19,240
Speaker 4: who's playing today, She's not playing today.

614
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 2: Really, it's the truth. Yeah, we'll dive into all that stuff.

615
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 2: We've got lots to do. Fella's Jeff Schwartz, Anthony Garganta

Speaker 4: Right here, you're on Fox Sports Radio. Emmy, iHeart app.

627
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:06,920
Speaker 2: So you mentioned that the other game today, because there's

628
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:11,840
Speaker 2: three NFL games or two NFL games today, Texas and Chargers,

629
00:34:12,320 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 2: also Baltimore and Green Bay in a game that the

630
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,280
Speaker 2: Ravens obviously need just to keep their slim hopes alive.

631
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 2: And it appears no Lamar, who is doubtful for the game.

632
00:34:27,040 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 2: Looks like Huntley is going to play again. This has

633
00:34:31,760 --> 00:34:36,280
Speaker 2: been a dreadful nightmare of the season for Lamar.

634
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 4: Jeff it has been and look a lot to talk

635
00:34:41,640 --> 00:34:47,440
Speaker 4: about Lamar this week. And I'll say this, So he

636
00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 4: has a back bruise, right, confusion and contusions can vary

637
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:59,560
Speaker 4: in severity depending on where they are in the body

638
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,080
Speaker 4: and just how your body responds to pain. Right, you

639
00:35:03,160 --> 00:35:05,560
Speaker 4: can have a thigh contusion, a thive bruise that that

640
00:35:05,640 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 4: makes you unable to walk like it could be that painful, right,

641
00:35:09,560 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 4: So he can have a back intusion that makes well,

642
00:35:12,960 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 4: just really cripples his ability to move into walk into play.

643
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:23,560
Speaker 4: It's I give him the right for that to be

644
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,600
Speaker 4: as bad as it is, but I don't know, man,

645
00:35:28,560 --> 00:35:31,000
Speaker 4: It does feel like a lot of quarterbacks would would

646
00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,239
Speaker 4: would make it their mission to play in this game,

647
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 4: right with a back intusion. And that's I think that's

648
00:35:37,360 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 4: what's really bothering people more than anything else. And I

649
00:35:39,640 --> 00:35:42,479
Speaker 4: think that's why the Ravens put out the hit piece

650
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,399
Speaker 4: this week on Lamar because they're tired of it too.

651
00:35:46,800 --> 00:35:49,520
Speaker 4: He's ended multiple seasons in the last three you know,

652
00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:52,200
Speaker 4: not last year two years ago, but I think thirteen

653
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:54,879
Speaker 4: and not twenty three and twenty two, or maybe twenty

654
00:35:54,920 --> 00:35:59,239
Speaker 4: one and twenty two. He ended those years hurt. He

655
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,640
Speaker 4: gets hurt throughout the year, flew this and that like

656
00:36:02,719 --> 00:36:06,080
Speaker 4: little things, and I think that the Ravens. There was

657
00:36:06,239 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 4: article out this week in the Baltimore Sun. You know,

658
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,640
Speaker 4: it's so funny, man, people people get so worked up

659
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:16,879
Speaker 4: about articles like that. How do they know that he's

660
00:36:16,960 --> 00:36:19,959
Speaker 4: playing video games? How do they know the things? I'm like, guys,

661
00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 4: the team is telling the reporter of this stuff like

662
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:26,000
Speaker 4: he's not making it up. They told him to report

663
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 4: this stuff. They didn't go on record, of course, but

664
00:36:28,600 --> 00:36:30,520
Speaker 4: they said, he here are the things that we don't

665
00:36:30,600 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 4: like about Lamar.

666
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,200
Speaker 3: I'll tell you how it goes all right.

667
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:38,160
Speaker 4: As someone who's covered teams, been a beat writer, you

668
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:43,760
Speaker 4: have your trusted sources, of course, everywhere, from the trainer

669
00:36:44,320 --> 00:36:47,520
Speaker 4: who wants to get the coaches wish out right, like

670
00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 4: the trainer is the extension of the coach. He in

671
00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 4: some places the trainer has is like the second most

672
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:57,480
Speaker 4: powerful person in the building. Oh, but you got that right,

673
00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:01,520
Speaker 4: Like you can't the city, Well, Rick Rick burke Alter

674
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:04,320
Speaker 4: is the trainer at Kidsas City who's been with Andy

675
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 4: since the beginning in Philadelphia since ninety nine, right, all

676
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,520
Speaker 4: those years, right, and and Rick was Andy's eyes and

677
00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:15,279
Speaker 4: the ears in the locker room, right, Like you know

678
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 4: Ronnie Barnes with the Giants is just he's the same

679
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:21,080
Speaker 4: way like these guys to your point, like they're with

680
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:26,600
Speaker 4: they're with these they're with these coaches forever. Yeah, and

681
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,080
Speaker 4: they become and as players you learn when you're young,

682
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 4: you don't know this, but like you think sometimes the

683
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:36,960
Speaker 4: training room is like sort of where and then you

684
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 4: realize that the best friend is the trainer. So yeah,

685
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:44,360
Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's a good or bad thing, but

686
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:46,719
Speaker 4: you do learn as a player that it's kind of

687
00:37:46,760 --> 00:37:48,920
Speaker 4: a hierarchy of how a building is.

688
00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think about it. The coach needs the trainer.

689
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 3: The coach like the traders like.

690
00:37:53,120 --> 00:37:57,960
Speaker 4: The the players every day, yeah, offseason, like it's a

691
00:37:58,000 --> 00:38:00,279
Speaker 4: it's a trusted I don't disagree with with how they

692
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 4: you know, it's handled. But in the building though, sometimes

693
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,839
Speaker 4: you realize like too late, like that you should say

694
00:38:05,160 --> 00:38:08,799
Speaker 4: traders but the point is this, the story is out

695
00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 4: there about Lamar because the Ravens are tired of it, Okay,

696
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 4: And whether you agree or disagree with how the Ravens

697
00:38:16,920 --> 00:38:20,040
Speaker 4: have handled this, they are telling you they are done

698
00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 4: with Lamar if he doesn't essentially, you know, turn into

699
00:38:26,360 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 4: a more professional football player outside of the building. Again,

700
00:38:31,200 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 4: you might not like it, you might not agree with it.

701
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:35,080
Speaker 4: You might not like that it's a hit piece. I

702
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:37,400
Speaker 4: get all those things, but you have to listen to

703
00:38:37,480 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 4: the message. The message is the Ravens are done with

704
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: this because the.

705
00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 2: Real quick just to double down, just to explain people

706
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:51,200
Speaker 2: kind of how it goes, right. So John Harble is

707
00:38:51,239 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 2: not going to come out and destroy Lamar, right, He's

708
00:38:57,080 --> 00:38:57,359
Speaker 2: not going.

709
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:57,640
Speaker 3: To do that.

710
00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,200
Speaker 2: So but you need to get the message out right

711
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:01,800
Speaker 2: because you have to prepare the fan. You have to

712
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:04,200
Speaker 2: put pressure on Lamar. You got to put pressure on

713
00:39:04,280 --> 00:39:09,799
Speaker 2: Lamar's camp, and this stuff that's been frustrating this team

714
00:39:10,680 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: with Lamar has to come out in a way. So

715
00:39:14,239 --> 00:39:18,279
Speaker 2: what happens is they know who they who they handed to. Yep,

716
00:39:18,800 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 2: they know who will deliver the message. Hey, by the way,

717
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,759
Speaker 2: you want a story or it's just we're freaking out. Man,

718
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,040
Speaker 2: We're freaking out because you know Lamar is doing this.

719
00:39:30,320 --> 00:39:34,759
Speaker 2: He's sleeping, he's falling, you know, falling asleep in meetings, video.

720
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:36,319
Speaker 4: Games, blah blah blah blah blah.

721
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 2: Right, it comes out, and then then John Harber goes,

722
00:39:39,520 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't know about this fall asleep and meeting, you know,

723
00:39:42,200 --> 00:39:45,280
Speaker 2: at meetings like that's how this whole game is played.

724
00:39:45,760 --> 00:39:50,480
Speaker 3: When you're going after a sacred cowt like the quarterback.

725
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:56,840
Speaker 4: It is played this way. Now, the thing that I

726
00:39:56,960 --> 00:40:02,400
Speaker 4: am curious about is who goes, Lamar or John Harbaugh?

727
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 3: I have it.

728
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 4: I think I know who goes, But someone's going the

729
00:40:06,719 --> 00:40:09,440
Speaker 4: coach of the or the quarterback, and that's not up

730
00:40:09,480 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 4: for the owner's side once the season's over.

731
00:40:13,320 --> 00:40:17,000
Speaker 2: So it's going to be a fascinating conversation. I'm curious

732
00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:19,440
Speaker 2: to see where you kind of line up on it.

733
00:40:20,000 --> 00:40:22,200
Speaker 2: So why don't you hold it and we'll take a

734
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,680
Speaker 2: quick to o and come back.

735
00:40:24,520 --> 00:40:25,440
Speaker 3: And you tell us.

736
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: And you're in mind because I have a feeling too

737
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,120
Speaker 2: as to where this thing hands. So we'll compare notes

738
00:40:34,160 --> 00:40:37,160
Speaker 2: and take a look at it. But big time change

739
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 2: is coming to Baltimore, for sure, Fellas on Fox.

740
00:40:42,160 --> 00:40:45,120

752
00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:25,960
Speaker 2: Holidays continue. Football continues to NFL games. Today Texans and

753
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: the Chargers bantle of defense, two of the best defenses

754
00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:31,320
Speaker 2: in the AFC.

755
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,520
Speaker 3: Go at it and Packers.

756
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 2: I guess there's still a chance they can overtake the Bears,

757
00:41:37,880 --> 00:41:43,160
Speaker 2: but they're locked in pretty much against Baltimore, clinging to

758
00:41:43,320 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: their final playoff breath about to be extinguished. Jeff, what happens?

759
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: Because I think there's a chance they're both gone next year.

760
00:41:56,960 --> 00:42:01,200
Speaker 4: I think the minimum John Harbaugh is gone is much

761
00:42:01,320 --> 00:42:04,360
Speaker 4: easier to move on from the coach and the quarterback.

762
00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:10,759
Speaker 4: It's less messy, and it's probably easier to sell to

763
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:14,600
Speaker 4: your fan base, and easier to sell that we can

764
00:42:14,719 --> 00:42:18,120
Speaker 4: bring in someone who is maybe younger and can and

765
00:42:18,320 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 4: just has a better relationship with Lamar and runs a

766
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:25,879
Speaker 4: different offense and is able to set up this team

767
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:31,040
Speaker 4: in a better way. You know, you might have soured

768
00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:34,520
Speaker 4: on Lamar, and that's certainly like fair I guess to do.

769
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:38,320
Speaker 4: It happens often with coaches and players. But you're not

770
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:41,239
Speaker 4: going to find another Lamar anywhere, right if you go

771
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:45,920
Speaker 4: the route of getting rid of Lamar. This draft is

772
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,600
Speaker 4: not one to get a quarterback in. Right, It's not

773
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,400
Speaker 4: a great quarterback draft. Free agent wise, it's almost rarely

774
00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 4: a quarterback is any is worth anything? You're not trading

775
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 4: for one either. So if you get rid of Lamar,

776
00:42:58,200 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 4: and again, I mean it's certainly within their right to

777
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:01,600
Speaker 4: get rid of them. I just don't know what they

778
00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:02,840
Speaker 4: do at quarterback.

779
00:43:02,880 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: I mean, you know wander well, right, you're now in

780
00:43:05,280 --> 00:43:12,160
Speaker 2: the quarterback wilderness, which means this is what they're looking at.

781
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 2: Is is now the time to press the reset? But

782
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:21,680
Speaker 2: that's what you're looking at. You got take stock into

783
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:26,480
Speaker 2: what your what your team is. Yeah, how far are

784
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 2: they from a Super Bowl? You just don't reset very

785
00:43:32,160 --> 00:43:35,080
Speaker 2: often with players like Lamar and your roster. But I know,

786
00:43:35,480 --> 00:43:37,879
Speaker 2: and that's why the coach feels like the best option

787
00:43:38,040 --> 00:43:40,839
Speaker 2: here because you don't really reset personally. I don't think John.

788
00:43:40,880 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 2: I don't think John's bad. I think hardball's gone that

789
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,239
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

790
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:48,719
Speaker 4: The thing with Lamar is again, like what package are

791
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:53,759
Speaker 4: you getting from Lamar? I do think the injuries as

792
00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:57,880
Speaker 4: good as Lamar is would lower the price for what

793
00:43:57,960 --> 00:43:59,759
Speaker 4: teams are willing to pay for Lamar. I mean, the

794
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:04,520
Speaker 4: guys gets hurt a lot, and I think that probably

795
00:44:04,880 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: has teams a little bit worried if they trade for him.

796
00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:11,359
Speaker 4: Can we end the season with him playing? Right? Because

797
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:13,560
Speaker 4: obviously if you trade from your expectations or that you're

798
00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 4: going to be a playoff team and maybe a little

799
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:19,040
Speaker 4: bit further than that. But are you telling me that

800
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:22,560
Speaker 4: Woody Johnson with the Jets is not like, go get

801
00:44:22,600 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 4: me Lamar, you know, like Steven.

802
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:28,520
Speaker 2: Saying, I mean it would be dive and breathe life

803
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 2: into the Raiders, Right, you got you got all that,

804
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:37,400
Speaker 2: You got that nonsense, like could you imagine the Raiders?

805
00:44:37,600 --> 00:44:39,440
Speaker 4: By the way, the Raiders and Giants are extreme, the

806
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,319
Speaker 4: perfect takeoff right now this weekend. Yeah, it's very I'm

807
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,560
Speaker 4: actually very impressed by both teams their willingness to take

808
00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:48,839
Speaker 4: in this game. Yeah. I think a lot of teams

809
00:44:48,880 --> 00:44:53,399
Speaker 4: would would surely entertain the idea of going of going

810
00:44:53,480 --> 00:44:57,240
Speaker 4: with Lamar again, Who's going to do it? For what price?

811
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:59,360
Speaker 4: All those things are true, But I think at the

812
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:04,560
Speaker 4: minimum we both agree Horball is not there anymore. Yes, yes,

813
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:07,279
Speaker 4: And you saw the fact.

814
00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:10,800
Speaker 2: One of our fine listeners, Nikki, pointed this out on

815
00:45:10,840 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: the text board, that there was a lot of anti

816
00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:18,319
Speaker 2: Horrball sentiment coming out stories being written over the last

817
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:22,440
Speaker 2: few weeks, which is usually the precursor to the end.

818
00:45:22,719 --> 00:45:26,120
Speaker 2: And you know that's been talked about about running its course,

819
00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,759
Speaker 2: and he's been there a long time.

820
00:45:28,920 --> 00:45:34,160
Speaker 4: It happened to his uh to Amy Reid, and it's

821
00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,680
Speaker 4: got in Philadelphia. I saw it that was with him,

822
00:45:36,840 --> 00:45:41,239
Speaker 4: and about these when you're there in a long plate,

823
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:44,400
Speaker 4: you're in place for a long time, what happens naturally?

824
00:45:45,680 --> 00:45:50,200
Speaker 4: So years ago, I think, Horba, how much do you

825
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:53,080
Speaker 4: do you buy the idea that, like just that he's

826
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:55,920
Speaker 4: not playing today, and how much that really affects this

827
00:45:56,080 --> 00:45:57,080
Speaker 4: decision with Lamar?

828
00:45:58,560 --> 00:46:01,359
Speaker 2: I think I think it's harder. The problem that they

829
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 2: have with them, Yeah, can you count on them? I mean,

830
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 2: you know, I think they explained. I'm a big fan

831
00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:11,800
Speaker 2: of his. I think the I think the guy is

832
00:46:11,880 --> 00:46:15,320
Speaker 2: a man when he when he's right, is he's just

833
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:19,320
Speaker 2: such a weapon. The problem is he hasn't had that

834
00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:22,439
Speaker 2: those moments in the playoffs, right, they've been disastrous.

835
00:46:23,160 --> 00:46:26,440
Speaker 3: The ends of seasons haven't been great.

836
00:46:27,600 --> 00:46:32,879
Speaker 2: And you kept waiting for him to take this next step, right,

837
00:46:33,239 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 2: like he was always great, but he expected just to

838
00:46:37,160 --> 00:46:37,839
Speaker 2: tag more.

839
00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:41,880
Speaker 3: But it really kind of has it come. And this

840
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:43,640
Speaker 3: year it's just been kind of a disaster.

841
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 4: Yeah. And and the the opportunity was obviously when they

842
00:46:47,560 --> 00:46:50,480
Speaker 4: hosted the Chiefs well a couple of years ago, that

843
00:46:50,600 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 4: was the opportunity to throw the Chiefs didn't go well.

844
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:56,400
Speaker 4: That the Zay Flowers wasn't great. It's not Lamar's fault, right,

845
00:46:56,400 --> 00:46:59,040
Speaker 4: I mean there's other instances of the teammates not helping him,

846
00:46:59,080 --> 00:46:59,839
Speaker 4: which is certainly right.

847
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:02,680
Speaker 3: Let's face it, he's had a dearth of weapons too,

848
00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:03,360
Speaker 3: you know.

849
00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:07,479
Speaker 4: That's I just think that they're sort of a long

850
00:47:07,719 --> 00:47:10,680
Speaker 4: way away from I think the roster being where it

851
00:47:10,719 --> 00:47:13,719
Speaker 4: needs to be especially like offensive one. The roster's gotten worse.

852
00:47:13,719 --> 00:47:15,719
Speaker 4: That's why I think Hardball is on the way out

853
00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:17,439
Speaker 4: because the roster has also gotten worse.

854
00:47:17,960 --> 00:47:20,200
Speaker 3: Dude, I think they need to rebuild the thing. Like

855
00:47:20,280 --> 00:47:20,600
Speaker 3: they're not.

856
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:25,080
Speaker 2: They're farther from the super Bowl if you look at

857
00:47:25,680 --> 00:47:30,040
Speaker 2: that roster. They need to get it. They need they

858
00:47:30,120 --> 00:47:31,440
Speaker 2: need to go back and fix it.

859
00:47:31,840 --> 00:47:34,320
Speaker 4: Who who's closer the Chiefs are the Ravens to getting

860
00:47:34,320 --> 00:47:38,319
Speaker 4: back to where they want to be, to be the Chiefs. Yeah,

861
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,440
Speaker 4: it's just not. I think it's just I don't even

862
00:47:42,440 --> 00:47:44,600
Speaker 4: think it's close to the Ravens. That's not the answer

863
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 4: you wanted to hear, obviously, right, Like the Chiefs with

864
00:47:46,800 --> 00:47:49,200
Speaker 4: all their issues, are closer. And I'm with you. I

865
00:47:49,280 --> 00:47:50,839
Speaker 4: think I totally agree with you on that. Like they're

866
00:47:50,840 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 4: they're just they're they're just closer to being than you know,

867
00:47:54,560 --> 00:47:56,759
Speaker 4: where they need to be then than the Ravens are.

868
00:47:56,760 --> 00:48:00,960
Speaker 4: Obviously Mahomes certainly helps with that, but the raven are. Yeah,

869
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:04,239
Speaker 4: it's uh, but they got some young they had younger pieces,

870
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:07,960
Speaker 4: and like I'm expecting their line to get fixed and

871
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 4: I'm expecting they solve good young They saw some good

872
00:48:11,320 --> 00:48:15,520
Speaker 4: decent young pieces on defense, and I you know, you

873
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:19,680
Speaker 4: got Rice and Worthy who were young. I think I

874
00:48:19,760 --> 00:48:21,920
Speaker 4: think Worthy starting to piss me off. But I know

875
00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:25,160
Speaker 4: I'm just like, how many times you have to do

876
00:48:25,160 --> 00:48:27,040
Speaker 4: you have to step out of bounds on it when

877
00:48:27,080 --> 00:48:28,759
Speaker 4: you try to catch a pass? I just think in bounds.

878
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:32,520
Speaker 4: His spatial awareness is just atrocious. It's crazy how bad

879
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:37,440
Speaker 4: it is. Yeah, it's bad. This is This is one

880
00:48:37,480 --> 00:48:39,920
Speaker 4: thing that I've I've that I actually am sort of

881
00:48:39,960 --> 00:48:45,200
Speaker 4: curious about with a new coach. So Lamar Jackson wears

882
00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:51,680
Speaker 4: the the the mouthpiece what's it called the pacifier mouthpiece? Right?

883
00:48:52,320 --> 00:48:54,880
Speaker 4: So when you wear mouth there's two choices for mouthpieces, right,

884
00:48:54,920 --> 00:48:59,200
Speaker 4: there's the ones that that basically like stick on your teeth, right,

885
00:48:59,239 --> 00:49:01,600
Speaker 4: the small ones right to stick on your teeth, or

886
00:49:01,719 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 4: the pacifier. One of them you can talk with. You

887
00:49:05,760 --> 00:49:09,400
Speaker 4: can talk with the molded ones, right that go on

888
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,600
Speaker 4: your teeth because you can still talk. The pacifier you can't.

889
00:49:12,640 --> 00:49:14,320
Speaker 4: Now you can have it out of your mouth and

890
00:49:14,440 --> 00:49:18,480
Speaker 4: try to talk. But I've always been curious because Lamar's

891
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:21,360
Speaker 4: the only quarterback, wh where's the pacifier? How does he

892
00:49:21,480 --> 00:49:25,600
Speaker 4: make line changes? How's he audible? How does he do

893
00:49:25,719 --> 00:49:29,560
Speaker 4: those things that are like upper level quarterback things pre

894
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,840
Speaker 4: snap if he's wearing the mouthpiece that you can't talk.

895
00:49:32,680 --> 00:49:38,279
Speaker 3: Out of, like I I wonder is he calling out

896
00:49:38,280 --> 00:49:38,960
Speaker 3: the protections?

897
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:42,600
Speaker 4: Well so so I so my, So I think that

898
00:49:42,760 --> 00:49:45,880
Speaker 4: all protections should be done by quarterbacks, like that's my Like,

899
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,839
Speaker 4: that's my, that's my that's my that's my upper level.

900
00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 4: Like when you're at the best offense possible. Yeah, because

901
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 4: like the you know, for example, like the most seams,

902
00:49:54,400 --> 00:49:57,560
Speaker 4: like like you're like your Eagles, Like I think the

903
00:49:57,680 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 4: center does all the protections. I think that's not the

904
00:50:00,440 --> 00:50:02,800
Speaker 4: best offense to go with. I think that the quarterbacks

905
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:04,239
Speaker 4: got to be in charge of all of those things.

906
00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:07,440
Speaker 4: I think the next level up for Lamar and other quarterbacks,

907
00:50:07,480 --> 00:50:09,600
Speaker 4: by the way, is when they hire the new OC

908
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:11,880
Speaker 4: jam at ways do it.

909
00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,960
Speaker 2: He took over when Kelsey Kelsey used to do the

910
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,319
Speaker 2: productions and then Jalen's taken over, Sue Jalen doesn't this year.

911
00:50:20,480 --> 00:50:22,719
Speaker 4: That that to me is like the most highest funk

912
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 4: at the highest function offense that you can have. And

913
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:28,359
Speaker 4: so I'm curious what the next offense Lamar has if

914
00:50:28,360 --> 00:50:30,440
Speaker 4: they just give him more to do I think that's

915
00:50:30,480 --> 00:50:32,400
Speaker 4: the best way to run an offense is to let

916
00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 4: your quarterback be in charge of everything. And I hope

917
00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:39,839
Speaker 4: that that makes the offense because when you when your

918
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,600
Speaker 4: quarterback isn't in charge of everything, you're not really on

919
00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,200
Speaker 4: the same page on offense and defense. Get take advantage

920
00:50:46,200 --> 00:50:48,680
Speaker 4: of that. I think it makes it tougher in close games,

921
00:50:49,120 --> 00:50:51,640
Speaker 4: it makes it tougher in those big moments. And so

922
00:50:52,880 --> 00:50:54,680
Speaker 4: I think Lamar can do all of that. And I

923
00:50:54,760 --> 00:50:57,840
Speaker 4: think that everything's just sort of gotten stale in in

924
00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,040
Speaker 4: in Baltimore, and I think that that this is what

925
00:51:01,120 --> 00:51:03,239
Speaker 4: they're gonna They're gonna hire a new coach, hire a

926
00:51:03,280 --> 00:51:06,160
Speaker 4: new offense. I need to be able to get an

927
00:51:06,200 --> 00:51:10,600
Speaker 4: offense that uses the run game more often and uses it,

928
00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:13,040
Speaker 4: you know. I think I think like a Shanahan type

929
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:16,239
Speaker 4: offense will be great for them. So I'm kind of

930
00:51:16,280 --> 00:51:18,200
Speaker 4: curious what they do. And like, I just think Lamar

931
00:51:18,880 --> 00:51:21,839
Speaker 4: needs more responsibilities pre snap to help that offense as well.

932
00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:32,359
Speaker 4: So let me ask you this, Lamar's physical piece, where

933
00:51:32,600 --> 00:51:35,920
Speaker 4: is he? And you know, when you're taking pounding and

934
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,400
Speaker 4: the hits and you're and you're a quarterback that that

935
00:51:40,680 --> 00:51:44,080
Speaker 4: moves like you just and you're just taking these he looks.

936
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:49,680
Speaker 4: Now you go again, it's December, right, so he has

937
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:54,760
Speaker 4: looked slower. He has looked not as you know, phantom

938
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:55,880
Speaker 4: like like he used to be.

939
00:51:57,000 --> 00:51:59,920
Speaker 2: Now is that just it's November December, because you look

940
00:52:00,080 --> 00:52:03,080
Speaker 2: like that last month too, or is it you know?

941
00:52:03,320 --> 00:52:06,000
Speaker 2: Something more? And a guys just go, you know what?

942
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 2: I just can't he take any hits anymore.

943
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:17,880
Speaker 4: It's interesting you said that because I actually I always

944
00:52:17,920 --> 00:52:23,239
Speaker 4: have this debate because Lamar's is a special athlete that

945
00:52:23,320 --> 00:52:26,799
Speaker 4: I don't think you can take that away from him. Look,

946
00:52:26,840 --> 00:52:29,319
Speaker 4: I think if you if you take that away from him,

947
00:52:30,480 --> 00:52:35,160
Speaker 4: he's not the player that the best version of himself

948
00:52:37,440 --> 00:52:40,359
Speaker 4: is always thet with like with a concert about Cam right,

949
00:52:40,440 --> 00:52:42,400
Speaker 4: like to Camp stop right.

950
00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,759
Speaker 2: Lamar has a great arm, Lamar Cam did too, But

951
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:49,440
Speaker 2: I like Lamar. Lamar can throw about better than Cam exactly.

952
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:52,040
Speaker 2: But the idea, but the identity of I think what

953
00:52:52,200 --> 00:52:54,080
Speaker 2: makes him so good as the be ability to do

954
00:52:54,200 --> 00:52:58,000
Speaker 2: both things really well. And it's it stresses a defense

955
00:52:58,280 --> 00:53:02,600
Speaker 2: so much in the quarterback can run and he doesn't

956
00:53:02,600 --> 00:53:03,080
Speaker 2: play as well.

957
00:53:03,160 --> 00:53:07,160
Speaker 4: He doesn't when he doesn't run, just doesn't. And so

958
00:53:07,840 --> 00:53:11,879
Speaker 4: I think that the goal is. See he's not Also

959
00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:14,160
Speaker 4: he's not getting he also doesn't get hurt as much

960
00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:16,680
Speaker 4: when he actually scrambles. Now the back thing seems like

961
00:53:16,719 --> 00:53:20,200
Speaker 4: that was an instance where he did get hurt scrambling

962
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:24,800
Speaker 4: historically the case. So again I don't know how you

963
00:53:24,920 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 4: tell him to stop, man, But also too, like you

964
00:53:28,040 --> 00:53:35,200
Speaker 4: can if you change the scheme, you can probably get

965
00:53:35,280 --> 00:53:39,200
Speaker 4: away with a more controlled style of running right where

966
00:53:39,920 --> 00:53:42,359
Speaker 4: it's more on the nakeds the boots, like things were

967
00:53:42,440 --> 00:53:45,319
Speaker 4: just not gonna get hit as much because he's out

968
00:53:45,400 --> 00:53:50,680
Speaker 4: in space already by design instead of just scrambling he's doing.

969
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:54,360
Speaker 4: Now does that make sense, Like, I know you understand that,

970
00:53:54,480 --> 00:53:59,040
Speaker 4: but like there's a way to get easier offense and

971
00:53:59,120 --> 00:54:01,600
Speaker 4: then allow him to get in the edge where there's

972
00:54:01,680 --> 00:54:05,160
Speaker 4: gonna be more space instead of it's being scrambles. But

973
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:07,440
Speaker 4: the last thing I'll say is, like the quarterback run

974
00:54:07,520 --> 00:54:12,560
Speaker 4: game is it's such an important part of short yarder's

975
00:54:12,600 --> 00:54:16,320
Speaker 4: goal line, especially in the game situations because the defense

976
00:54:16,360 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 4: doesn't account for the quarterback right in their account and

977
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:24,160
Speaker 4: you get an extra blocker because of that. So like

978
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:27,800
Speaker 4: you have an even opportunity as an offensive line and

979
00:54:28,239 --> 00:54:31,000
Speaker 4: when that running back turns into an extra blocker. You

980
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:35,080
Speaker 4: had much better numbers. So that's why I think you

981
00:54:35,120 --> 00:54:36,759
Speaker 4: need someone to come in there offensively and sort of

982
00:54:36,760 --> 00:54:38,759
Speaker 4: figure out. Again, these are all the answers they're gonna

983
00:54:38,760 --> 00:54:40,399
Speaker 4: have to figure out, like what is the best way

984
00:54:40,440 --> 00:54:43,840
Speaker 4: to incorporate everything right, To give him some easier runs,

985
00:54:43,920 --> 00:54:46,520
Speaker 4: to make sure that he's able to stay upright, to

986
00:54:46,560 --> 00:54:48,880
Speaker 4: give him some easier passes, to give him more command

987
00:54:48,920 --> 00:54:50,680
Speaker 4: of the offense, in my opinion, and let him be

988
00:54:50,719 --> 00:54:53,840
Speaker 4: in charge of everything, which when you put that on

989
00:54:53,960 --> 00:54:58,360
Speaker 4: the quarterback, it's more responsibility. Right, they have to. If

990
00:54:58,360 --> 00:54:59,680
Speaker 4: they can't handle it, then they got to find a

991
00:54:59,719 --> 00:55:01,440
Speaker 4: way to do. And maybe that's one way to sort

992
00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 4: of get him to if the video game thing is

993
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,600
Speaker 4: really a problem, if you put more on his plate,

994
00:55:05,760 --> 00:55:08,160
Speaker 4: they might force him to study more and play those

995
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:11,440
Speaker 4: video games. I don't the video game thing is. It's interesting.

996
00:55:12,200 --> 00:55:15,080
Speaker 4: I think it only matters when you when you're losing, Right,

997
00:55:15,080 --> 00:55:18,120
Speaker 4: if you're winning, no one cares. Nobody cares when.

998
00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:22,440
Speaker 3: You start Kyler, Mary, you know, it hurt, It hurt.

999
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,320
Speaker 4: His progress. Remember that was early in his career. The

1000
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 4: video game stuff hit Kyler. Yeah, so I'm really, I'm

1001
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,400
Speaker 4: just I'm just very fascinated by like where, like what

1002
00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:37,440
Speaker 4: what Lamar?

1003
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:37,800
Speaker 5: Like?

1004
00:55:37,920 --> 00:55:40,120
Speaker 4: What what comes next for his career?

1005
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:46,040
Speaker 3: Isn't it better for him to go somewhere else? If that?

1006
00:55:46,360 --> 00:55:49,479
Speaker 2: Again, you're talking about a play. Now, I gotta figure

1007
00:55:49,480 --> 00:55:51,120
Speaker 2: about like who would need quarterbacks?

1008
00:55:51,239 --> 00:55:51,359
Speaker 3: Right?

1009
00:55:51,520 --> 00:55:51,560
Speaker 5: Like?

1010
00:55:52,200 --> 00:55:53,600
Speaker 3: You don't want to mean Jets.

1011
00:55:53,400 --> 00:56:00,760
Speaker 4: Atlanta, Miami, Arizona, the Jets, Raiders. I mean they're great options,

1012
00:56:00,840 --> 00:56:02,480
Speaker 4: right Like would you rather stick with the organization that

1013
00:56:02,560 --> 00:56:04,120
Speaker 4: you know has proven to be a win?

1014
00:56:04,520 --> 00:56:06,640
Speaker 3: Well? I mean, who's gonna be the coach? Well?

1015
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,560
Speaker 4: Again, this this is all important. All these are all

1016
00:56:09,600 --> 00:56:13,200
Speaker 4: answers that that Lamar needs tests before he can give you.

1017
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,759
Speaker 4: You know, I don't know, I don't know, and I

1018
00:56:15,800 --> 00:56:17,560
Speaker 4: don't know. And this is not a great year for

1019
00:56:17,680 --> 00:56:20,480
Speaker 4: coaching candidates on paper, it's not it's not really like

1020
00:56:20,520 --> 00:56:24,520
Speaker 4: a great year for that. So I mean this is

1021
00:56:25,239 --> 00:56:27,120
Speaker 4: since the NFL that like, these are all decisions that

1022
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 4: that you have to figure out to be successful and

1023
00:56:30,400 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 4: and sort of to your point, like that reboot that

1024
00:56:32,880 --> 00:56:35,800
Speaker 4: we think they have to do so that now you know,

1025
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,400
Speaker 4: I don't know what what their cap situation is and

1026
00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:44,520
Speaker 4: this is fantasy football. But geez, Lamar in Minnesota with

1027
00:56:44,719 --> 00:56:48,359
Speaker 4: those receivers, Oh my god, and that dude, that being

1028
00:56:48,440 --> 00:56:52,400
Speaker 4: with Kevin O'Connell great, be really good for him, like.

1029
00:56:52,800 --> 00:56:58,759
Speaker 2: That that would be that would be the spot, right,

1030
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:03,120
Speaker 2: Like if you with Lamar in Minnesota with Kevin O'Connell

1031
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:05,680
Speaker 2: and those receivers.

1032
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,000
Speaker 4: Are they are they over? They're over?

1033
00:57:07,120 --> 00:57:07,320
Speaker 5: J J.

1034
00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:09,000
Speaker 4: You think like that's not They're not gonna let you.

1035
00:57:09,040 --> 00:57:14,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, dude, a mistake going and naked with

1036
00:57:14,239 --> 00:57:15,319
Speaker 3: just jjms yere.

1037
00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,160
Speaker 4: He also has three injuries already this season plus last

1038
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:19,680
Speaker 4: year's injury.

1039
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:24,760
Speaker 2: I know, I can't believe that they did this to

1040
00:57:24,840 --> 00:57:28,680
Speaker 2: themselves all because they were worried about JJ McCarthy looking

1041
00:57:28,720 --> 00:57:33,080
Speaker 2: over his shoulder, Like what are you kidding me? And

1042
00:57:33,200 --> 00:57:35,760
Speaker 2: by the way, I don't know. I mean, the kid's

1043
00:57:35,760 --> 00:57:39,400
Speaker 2: got to be able to handle that if he's going

1044
00:57:39,440 --> 00:57:41,520
Speaker 2: to be a if you're gonna last in the league, yeah,

1045
00:57:41,520 --> 00:57:43,720
Speaker 2: you gotta be able to handle that stuff. I don't

1046
00:57:43,760 --> 00:57:46,240
Speaker 2: understand it why they they treated with such kid gloves.

1047
00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:49,280
Speaker 4: I think it's more that they wanted him to have

1048
00:57:49,400 --> 00:57:51,160
Speaker 4: the job because they need to figure out if he's

1049
00:57:51,160 --> 00:57:53,600
Speaker 4: good or not now Otherwise you wasted that draft pick.

1050
00:57:53,680 --> 00:57:58,320
Speaker 4: That's why I think that's more about Yeah, I mean, geez,

1051
00:57:58,600 --> 00:58:02,160
Speaker 4: you know what would Rogers have been within the dome

1052
00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 4: with those receivers. I mean, he's played well in Pittsburgh

1053
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:09,000
Speaker 4: and it's time now. You imagine if he's got those

1054
00:58:09,080 --> 00:58:14,880
Speaker 4: receivers and he's playing inside. Look, I've defended the Vikings

1055
00:58:14,960 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 4: process here because I think that that they made the

1056
00:58:16,920 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 4: right decision because they drafted McCarthy. He's on a rookie contract.

1057
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,880
Speaker 4: It's so important to have success on that rookie contract.

1058
00:58:25,560 --> 00:58:26,960
Speaker 4: And if you don't know what you have in him

1059
00:58:27,840 --> 00:58:30,200
Speaker 4: and you get rid of him that soon or don't

1060
00:58:30,280 --> 00:58:33,360
Speaker 4: let him play, then look, you've basically wasted a draft back.

1061
00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 4: And I think, Okay, but I gotta win. Like the

1062
00:58:36,200 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 4: idea is I have a window to win. I think

1063
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,560
Speaker 4: they thought that the window was a couple of years

1064
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,320
Speaker 4: with their roster and if McCarthy played well enough this season,

1065
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,439
Speaker 4: then next season is that is when it's like ready

1066
00:58:49,480 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 4: to go?

1067
00:58:49,800 --> 00:58:52,360
Speaker 3: You know, yeah, I hear.

1068
00:58:52,680 --> 00:58:54,080
Speaker 4: That's my reasons. That's my thing.

1069
00:58:54,200 --> 00:58:58,520
Speaker 3: If I get it, I just go. Man. That was

1070
00:58:58,640 --> 00:59:02,200
Speaker 3: a that was a leap of faith, A gigantic leap

1071
00:59:02,240 --> 00:59:02,760
Speaker 3: of faith.

1072
00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:06,400
Speaker 4: Did not pay off. It was That's what I mean.

1073
00:59:06,440 --> 00:59:12,880
Speaker 4: They tried, just didn't pay off. I know. And at

1074
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:18,640
Speaker 4: some point you wonder, is he better off out of Baltimore,

1075
00:59:18,800 --> 00:59:21,640
Speaker 4: So to bring it back to Lamar, and I think

1076
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:23,760
Speaker 4: he is. I know, yeah, I mean, look, I think

1077
00:59:23,800 --> 00:59:26,360
Speaker 4: I think it depends on on the coach, right, who

1078
00:59:26,360 --> 00:59:29,960
Speaker 4: they're going to hire. And you hire the coach obviously

1079
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:31,720
Speaker 4: before you get rid of the player. So this's player

1080
00:59:31,720 --> 00:59:34,560
Speaker 4: opportunity to figure that part out. John Harbor will be

1081
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,560
Speaker 4: hired like tomorrow by somebody. I mean, he'll be hired, yeah, immediately,

1082
00:59:38,680 --> 00:59:43,600
Speaker 4: and I'm sure he'll do He'll do good wherever he's at. Yeah,

1083
00:59:43,640 --> 00:59:48,000
Speaker 4: it's interesting. Harborball won the he won a championship with Flaco, right,

1084
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:49,720
Speaker 4: he was there with Flaco. That was he was the coach, right.

1085
00:59:49,760 --> 00:59:55,640
Speaker 3: Okay, remember that was the Hardball Bowl, the Niners.

1086
00:59:56,600 --> 01:00:00,400
Speaker 4: You're right, they won that. Yeah, the Superdome, the the

1087
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,520
Speaker 4: lights went outs. Who on that game. It's really fascinating

1088
01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:07,600
Speaker 4: what Baltimore does. I'm very curious they're gonna fire Harball

1089
01:00:07,720 --> 01:00:10,600
Speaker 4: or not. I think this mutual firing sounds too harsh,

1090
01:00:10,680 --> 01:00:13,200
Speaker 4: like they they'll let him walk. Yeah, And they'll figure

1091
01:00:13,240 --> 01:00:15,400
Speaker 4: out where to go from there. So this would be

1092
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:17,120
Speaker 4: interesting oftenly because not a lot not a lot of

1093
01:00:17,160 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 4: coaches have been fired yet. Normally get six or seven

1094
01:00:21,600 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 4: coaching changes, and not a lot of guys have gone yet.

1095
01:00:25,040 --> 01:00:27,560
Speaker 4: We think that, you know, maybe Jonathan Gannon's gonna go,

1096
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:31,800
Speaker 4: or maybe the Pete Carroll's gonna go. But interesting cycle

1097
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:33,560
Speaker 4: because not a lot of names that pop up. Is

1098
01:00:33,840 --> 01:00:36,200
Speaker 4: your last cycle, we had the Ben Johnson, the Vrabels,

1099
01:00:36,240 --> 01:00:38,560
Speaker 4: like we sort of knew that who the guys were

1100
01:00:38,600 --> 01:00:41,840
Speaker 4: gonna be ended up being really good coaches. No surprise there.

1101
01:00:42,280 --> 01:00:44,400
Speaker 4: This cycle is filled with a lot of unknown for

1102
01:00:44,480 --> 01:00:45,959
Speaker 4: these teams. I think that's why they might be sticking

1103
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:49,080
Speaker 4: with the coach they have now. Yeah, all right, let's

1104
01:00:49,080 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 4: take t o we'll come back. I want to sweet

1105

01:02:52,640 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 2: play of the game. Let's go to Northwestern first and

1138
01:02:56,880 --> 01:02:59,480
Speaker 2: ten at the twenty three stone fax.

1139
01:02:59,560 --> 01:03:02,919
Speaker 4: The game protections good Stone looking towards the red side,

1140
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:08,160
Speaker 4: man wide open end zone touchdown all by himself in

1141
01:03:08,240 --> 01:03:10,280
Speaker 4: the red side of the end zone. Locks it all right.

1142
01:03:10,920 --> 01:03:15,280
Speaker 4: He was clear of any defender within about ten yards

1143
01:03:15,880 --> 01:03:19,160
Speaker 4: and it is twenty to nothing Northwestern.

1144
01:03:19,880 --> 01:03:20,200
Speaker 3: That's it.

1145
01:03:20,440 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 4: Northwestern to Wind in the bowl game. That's from Learfield

1146
01:03:24,480 --> 01:03:29,800
Speaker 4: dave in that all right, my man. Let's let's switch

1147
01:03:29,880 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 4: gears a little bit.

1148
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,720
Speaker 2: Speaking of the our Fox Sports Radio bracket challenge, and

1149
01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:42,200
Speaker 2: let's look at New Year's Eve it begins the playoffs. Buddy,

1150
01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:46,520
Speaker 2: I know you're fired up. There's nothing like it. And uh,

1151
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,760
Speaker 2: just kind of we'll go through each of the four

1152
01:03:49,840 --> 01:03:53,280
Speaker 2: games kind of looking into looking at looking at them.

1153
01:03:54,560 --> 01:03:58,600
Speaker 2: Miami Ohio State is going to be I mean, I

1154
01:03:58,880 --> 01:04:01,480
Speaker 2: like Ohio State a lot, but I don't know.

1155
01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:03,840
Speaker 3: I mean, Miami's defense is the truth.

1156
01:04:05,560 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 4: It's very good, and this game is interesting. The number

1157
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,200
Speaker 4: to me is big it's almost ten right for this game, yeah,

1158
01:04:13,280 --> 01:04:16,400
Speaker 4: nine and a half. Yeah, I like Miami to cover.

1159
01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:17,960
Speaker 4: But then I talked to some other people that I,

1160
01:04:18,160 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 4: you know, my group chats and whatnot. They know ball well,

1161
01:04:20,680 --> 01:04:22,720
Speaker 4: and they're like, Ohio State's going to dominate this game.

1162
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:27,040
Speaker 4: Mostly I think it's because they think that that ohas

1163
01:04:27,080 --> 01:04:29,800
Speaker 4: It's defense is really going to control what Carson Beck

1164
01:04:29,800 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 4: can do on offense and make life really hard for him.

1165
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,320
Speaker 4: And we've seen this year that you know, when life

1166
01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:36,880
Speaker 4: is hard for Carson Becas for every quarterback, they're not

1167
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:39,440
Speaker 4: as clean. Look, I'll tell you this, Ohio States defense

1168
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 4: is incredible. It is go on to the Indiana game.

1169
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,840
Speaker 4: Is it's not the Rice they lost them? Bro there,

1170
01:04:47,280 --> 01:04:49,880
Speaker 4: They are bringing it and Miami will have their work

1171
01:04:49,880 --> 01:04:53,600
Speaker 4: cut out for them. But I don't trust Ohio States offense.

1172
01:04:54,480 --> 01:04:57,880
Speaker 4: They have basically played one team this year who could

1173
01:04:57,920 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 4: sort of punch back on all on defense and they

1174
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 4: lost that game. Now, to be fair, they go the

1175
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:06,560
Speaker 4: ball twice inside the twenty with zero points, you know,

1176
01:05:06,720 --> 01:05:11,040
Speaker 4: in Indiana game. And I like that Ryan Day is

1177
01:05:11,080 --> 01:05:14,280
Speaker 4: taking control of the offense. He's calling plays I think

1178
01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:16,920
Speaker 4: we saw last year in the playoffs Ryan Day took

1179
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:20,320
Speaker 4: way more control of the offense. Yeah, and that really

1180
01:05:20,360 --> 01:05:23,320
Speaker 4: worked out well for them in this one a mission

1181
01:05:24,200 --> 01:05:26,760
Speaker 4: he had to Yeah, So I actually I think those

1182
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,840
Speaker 4: are really good things for Ohio State. But I think

1183
01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:31,960
Speaker 4: this is a grind. It's what the total is like,

1184
01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,000
Speaker 4: forty two, right, I think it's a grind of a

1185
01:05:34,080 --> 01:05:37,560
Speaker 4: game man, forty Yeah. I think both these teams are

1186
01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:43,560
Speaker 4: going to really focus on defense, ball control, punting, like

1187
01:05:44,280 --> 01:05:47,600
Speaker 4: not taking chances. So I'm really looking forward to this one.

1188
01:05:48,960 --> 01:05:53,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be fun Wednesday night at seven thirty.

1189
01:05:54,040 --> 01:05:57,200
Speaker 4: I think they wins. I think they cover.

1190
01:05:58,080 --> 01:05:59,000
Speaker 5: I do.

1191
01:05:59,400 --> 01:06:04,200
Speaker 2: I would like it, yeah, because here's the problem is,

1192
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:07,520
Speaker 2: like you saw against A and m it was a

1193
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,320
Speaker 2: slug fast and then finally Miami was able to kind

1194
01:06:10,360 --> 01:06:10,800
Speaker 2: of break through.

1195
01:06:10,920 --> 01:06:14,880
Speaker 3: Right in this game, it's not going to take Ohio

1196
01:06:15,040 --> 01:06:18,480
Speaker 3: State for you know, three and a half quarters to

1197
01:06:18,560 --> 01:06:19,080
Speaker 3: break through.

1198
01:06:19,840 --> 01:06:21,960
Speaker 2: Like if you're gonna play the field position game and

1199
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,440
Speaker 2: not be able to move the ball, while sooner or

1200
01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:29,920
Speaker 2: later Ohio State will hit a big one like Jeremiah

1201
01:06:29,960 --> 01:06:32,280
Speaker 2: Smith's going to catch is going to catch a couple

1202
01:06:32,440 --> 01:06:35,440
Speaker 2: right and sooner, sooner or later, they're going to get

1203
01:06:35,440 --> 01:06:37,680
Speaker 2: a play. If you give them any kind of field position,

1204
01:06:38,080 --> 01:06:40,400
Speaker 2: they're gonna break through. And then once they break through,

1205
01:06:40,920 --> 01:06:43,560
Speaker 2: that's how the game kind of tips. That's how the

1206
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:44,240
Speaker 2: field tips.

1207
01:06:45,840 --> 01:06:50,320
Speaker 4: It does. And Ohio State is no defensive suffocating you

1208
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,600
Speaker 4: know their offense like just get the ball. Jeremiah Smith right, like,

1209
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:59,680
Speaker 4: that's I think that's to me is what Ryan Day

1210
01:06:59,720 --> 01:07:01,480
Speaker 4: is gonna focus. That's what happened last year, right, they

1211
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,000
Speaker 4: gets Michigan. They didn't. They call jeremih Smith and he's like.

1212
01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:04,720
Speaker 3: No, enough of that.

1213
01:07:05,320 --> 01:07:08,040
Speaker 4: They tried to have physical Michigan, which was the dumbas

1214
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:13,120
Speaker 4: playing Chip Kelly correct, So I didn't Ohio State gets

1215
01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:13,680
Speaker 4: this one done?

1216
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:17,600
Speaker 3: Uh all right, I'm gonna save your game for last

1217
01:07:18,480 --> 01:07:18,959
Speaker 3: that's word.

1218
01:07:22,640 --> 01:07:24,600
Speaker 2: Well, I want to spend a little more time with

1219
01:07:24,760 --> 01:07:27,840
Speaker 2: it because I'm just I don't, I know, I'm just

1220
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,280
Speaker 2: I'm dying here.

1221
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:33,360
Speaker 4: First of all, I think, I mean, you're all. All

1222
01:07:33,440 --> 01:07:37,080
Speaker 4: the games are awesome, but I think that's that's the

1223
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:38,600
Speaker 4: one game that I go.

1224
01:07:38,960 --> 01:07:40,400
Speaker 3: I don't know who's going to win.

1225
01:07:41,840 --> 01:07:43,480
Speaker 4: That's why I'm gonna make it. I'm gonna make the

1226
01:07:43,560 --> 01:07:45,160
Speaker 4: kids for Oregon. We have a chance to talk about it.

1227
01:07:45,720 --> 01:07:50,880
Speaker 2: Okay, well I know I can spoiler alert you will. Uh,

1228
01:07:51,520 --> 01:07:58,200
Speaker 2: let's go to Indiana. Alabama. Yeah, Indiana again, unbeaten against

1229
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:03,320
Speaker 2: the three loss tide Indiana, Like, it still amazes me, man,

1230
01:08:03,920 --> 01:08:08,000
Speaker 2: who's your six and a half point favorite against Alabama?

1231
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:15,680
Speaker 4: Wow? So I think Indiana is going to run away

1232
01:08:15,960 --> 01:08:18,760
Speaker 4: with this game. Yeah, for a couple of reasons. So

1233
01:08:19,200 --> 01:08:22,920
Speaker 4: it's so funny man. You know you I put out

1234
01:08:22,920 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 4: there on one of my podcasts. I did they put

1235
01:08:24,400 --> 01:08:27,000
Speaker 4: a video. I'm like, Alabama can't rush the passer. They can't.

1236
01:08:27,080 --> 01:08:29,120
Speaker 4: They're ranked one hundred and thirty first on PFF and

1237
01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:33,120
Speaker 4: pass rush. They are ranked in the hundreds in pressure rates.

1238
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,400
Speaker 4: And Alabama fans are like, you're you're a moron. We

1239
01:08:36,479 --> 01:08:40,040
Speaker 4: got five sounds into Oklahoma last week. I'm like, okay,

1240
01:08:40,200 --> 01:08:44,880
Speaker 4: that doesn't mean anything. We have season long stets. I've

1241
01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 4: watched you guys play football. The previous three SEC games

1242
01:08:48,080 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 4: had four sacks total. Okay, guess what. That is not

1243
01:08:53,040 --> 01:08:56,120
Speaker 4: the way to beat Indiana. No, if you let Mendoza

1244
01:08:57,080 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 4: hang out back there, you're in a world of hurt.

1245
01:09:00,200 --> 01:09:03,240
Speaker 4: Alabama can't run the football as well. They're just two

1246
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:05,320
Speaker 4: one dimensional. I think to be the rest Indiana team

1247
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:07,840
Speaker 4: who seems up for the challenge every single game. They've

1248
01:09:07,840 --> 01:09:09,360
Speaker 4: won a ton of big games so far this season,

1249
01:09:09,439 --> 01:09:13,320
Speaker 4: won close games, they won blowouts. I think Indiana's just

1250
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:16,000
Speaker 4: much better, which is shocking to say. And I think

1251
01:09:16,040 --> 01:09:20,800
Speaker 4: Indiana handles business in a big way against Alabama. Yeah,

1252
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 4: I think they roll. I think it's a double digit victory.

1253
01:09:27,960 --> 01:09:29,760
Speaker 4: Like the one game I look at it, I go,

1254
01:09:31,439 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 4: I think it's a mismatch. I do. I can't believe

1255
01:09:34,479 --> 01:09:38,040
Speaker 4: I'm saying it, but I think it's a bad matchup

1256
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:42,400
Speaker 4: for Alabama. You know what's funny is that if we

1257
01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:46,599
Speaker 4: said that in the NFL, like I think it's a blowout,

1258
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:49,880
Speaker 4: the game would undoubtably be close. Like you'd be like

1259
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,920
Speaker 4: the exact opposite happens in the NFL every week you

1260
01:09:52,960 --> 01:09:54,880
Speaker 4: did in college football. I think that's not the case

1261
01:09:54,920 --> 01:09:56,760
Speaker 4: at all. Like I might even worried about saying like,

1262
01:09:56,840 --> 01:09:59,439
Speaker 4: I think it's a blowout. So I just like, I just,

1263
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:02,439
Speaker 4: I just I don't think it's I think that it's

1264
01:10:02,479 --> 01:10:05,080
Speaker 4: going to be a blowout. I don't unless Biama can

1265
01:10:05,880 --> 01:10:09,439
Speaker 4: force turnover. Indiana's maybe starts slow because they're off the

1266
01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:11,840
Speaker 4: by but like there's no football reason why this game

1267
01:10:11,880 --> 01:10:12,479
Speaker 4: should be close.

1268
01:10:12,960 --> 01:10:18,960
Speaker 3: No, no, uh, all Miss George.

1269
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:22,479
Speaker 2: Now, I think this is an interesting game because I

1270
01:10:22,720 --> 01:10:24,519
Speaker 2: like all missed in the game to call. I think

1271
01:10:24,600 --> 01:10:27,800
Speaker 2: Georgia probably wins, but I think there's a good game.

1272
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:32,000
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I mean I think Georgia's defense has gotten

1273
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,760
Speaker 4: so much better and we're not giving them credit for that.

1274
01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:35,760
Speaker 4: It's got a lot better. It's the first oldest game.

1275
01:10:36,560 --> 01:10:40,639
Speaker 4: Yeah and ever since. Like halftime of the Tennessee game.

1276
01:10:40,680 --> 01:10:43,960
Speaker 4: Remember remember that game where Tennessee comes out right it's

1277
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:44,920
Speaker 4: first half they scored.

1278
01:10:46,200 --> 01:10:47,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they were attacking the edges.

1279
01:10:48,320 --> 01:10:53,000
Speaker 4: Yeah. I don't know what's the the old Miss case

1280
01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:55,200
Speaker 4: is what like they just they scored up points. I

1281
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:58,559
Speaker 4: just think Georgia is better everywhere. I have a better

1282
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 4: coaching matchup when out laying being there, I didn't have

1283
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:06,640
Speaker 4: a roster advantage. Uh. Georgia does worry me consistently, you know,

1284
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 4: consistency on offense worries me. I said, Old Miss defensively

1285
01:11:09,560 --> 01:11:11,920
Speaker 4: is not you know, they're just the reason the reason

1286
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:13,760
Speaker 4: game wasn't close there. It is Tolly just turned the

1287
01:11:13,800 --> 01:11:16,080
Speaker 4: ball over too much till he moved the ball on them.

1288
01:11:16,720 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 4: I think Georgia is just too much for I think

1289
01:11:18,280 --> 01:11:20,960
Speaker 4: Old this Old Miss team is good, not great. Uh,

1290
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 4: there's there's too many flaws to overcome. I think Georgia

1291
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:28,040
Speaker 4: has a much better football team. I like, dude, I

1292
01:11:28,960 --> 01:11:31,000
Speaker 4: like the Ole Miss offense. I think the Old Miss

1293
01:11:31,040 --> 01:11:36,680
Speaker 4: offense because that's it's it's good offense. I mean a

1294
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:38,800
Speaker 4: ton of fun. See, they could do it again. You

1295
01:11:38,800 --> 01:11:40,840
Speaker 4: remember that first game they scored like thirty five points

1296
01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:42,680
Speaker 4: and then they did score nothing of this in the

1297
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:43,240
Speaker 4: fourth quarter.

1298
01:11:43,320 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 2: I remember the fourth quarter. Yeah, but again, I think

1299
01:11:47,560 --> 01:11:51,040
Speaker 2: they could score again. I they have three great receivers,

1300
01:11:51,439 --> 01:11:56,600
Speaker 2: like three like weapons. Lacey's a good back. I just

1301
01:11:56,640 --> 01:11:58,680
Speaker 2: think their offense is good. I think their offense is

1302
01:11:58,720 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 2: good enough to stress Georgia. Maybe it's I'm not in

1303
01:12:03,200 --> 01:12:05,920
Speaker 2: love of Georgia's offense, and well, I agree with you.

1304
01:12:06,439 --> 01:12:12,799
Speaker 2: Georgia's defense is better and has been better. It's still

1305
01:12:13,000 --> 01:12:16,439
Speaker 2: not you know, last year or two years ago. Is

1306
01:12:16,479 --> 01:12:20,120
Speaker 2: Georgia defense. How much do you think the coaching matchup

1307
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:20,680
Speaker 2: matters here?

1308
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:21,000
Speaker 3: Were?

1309
01:12:21,160 --> 01:12:23,320
Speaker 4: You know? I just think yeah, I mean Herbie, I

1310
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:26,240
Speaker 4: mean you know, it's a huge advantage for I don't

1311
01:12:26,280 --> 01:12:27,479
Speaker 4: disc for Georgia here yet.

1312
01:12:27,960 --> 01:12:29,800
Speaker 2: I don't disagree. I just think that that side of

1313
01:12:29,840 --> 01:12:32,280
Speaker 2: the ball keeps it close. Like I told you, I

1314
01:12:32,360 --> 01:12:34,720
Speaker 2: think Georgia wins, but I think that I think that

1315
01:12:34,840 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 2: on the side keeps the I think that offense we

1316
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,560
Speaker 2: will put points up and that'll be the difference of

1317
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:50,920
Speaker 2: the game. All right, we come back Ducks and Texas Tech.

1318
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:53,519
Speaker 4: All right?

1319
01:12:53,680 --> 01:12:53,800

1379
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,200
Speaker 2: I'm with you, buddy, I listen. I I enjoy it

1380
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:49,960
Speaker 2: as well. So I appreciate that. All right, let's get

1381
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:54,519
Speaker 2: down to business, because yeah, I'm curious to see where

1382
01:15:54,640 --> 01:15:55,080
Speaker 2: you're at.

1383
01:15:56,680 --> 01:15:59,320
Speaker 4: I mean, I know why you're going with Oregon, but

1384
01:16:00,840 --> 01:16:05,679
Speaker 4: how much do you fear Texas Tech so their defense

1385
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:10,639
Speaker 4: is really good. They have a lot of elite players

1386
01:16:10,640 --> 01:16:14,680
Speaker 4: on defense. So it starts with their two defensive ends, right,

1387
01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:16,559
Speaker 4: And I know their list is outside linebackers, but they

1388
01:16:16,560 --> 01:16:20,240
Speaker 4: play defensive end. So it's Height and Bailey. They're incredible, right,

1389
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:23,200
Speaker 4: and then Rigaz is great and Roberts is great at linebacker.

1390
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:31,000
Speaker 4: But if you can somehow block them, you have a

1391
01:16:31,080 --> 01:16:33,439
Speaker 4: chance to throw the ball down the field. And that's

1392
01:16:33,479 --> 01:16:36,920
Speaker 4: where I think Oregon can can do some things. Look,

1393
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:40,560
Speaker 4: this is important, and we talked about this heading on

1394
01:16:40,600 --> 01:16:42,479
Speaker 4: the James Master Game. It's not the same idea because

1395
01:16:43,120 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 4: because Jamie have the same players that Texas Tech does.

1396
01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:50,200
Speaker 4: But the fact is Texas Tech has not seen a

1397
01:16:50,360 --> 01:16:54,640
Speaker 4: team remotely close to orgon offensively. That just just hasn't right.

1398
01:16:54,800 --> 01:16:57,800
Speaker 4: People put to Utah, and Utah can run the ball,

1399
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:00,560
Speaker 4: it can't pass the ball. And their offensive structure is

1400
01:17:00,640 --> 01:17:04,439
Speaker 4: not the same thing as organ And so can Oregon

1401
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,320
Speaker 4: defense bog down? Certainly, it can certainly happen. They play

1402
01:17:07,360 --> 01:17:11,120
Speaker 4: them with Indiana, But Oregon has seen more comparable defenses

1403
01:17:11,800 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 4: than the other way around, right, And so it's just

1404
01:17:16,320 --> 01:17:18,840
Speaker 4: a it's a big step up. A competition for advice versa,

1405
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:22,240
Speaker 4: like the defense organ has, They're gonna let Texas Tech

1406
01:17:22,360 --> 01:17:24,400
Speaker 4: run the ball and then say no big plays unpassing

1407
01:17:24,439 --> 01:17:28,200
Speaker 4: the ball, and tex Text offensively just has not scored

1408
01:17:28,240 --> 01:17:32,599
Speaker 4: a bunch of enough in the red zone. So it's

1409
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:32,880
Speaker 4: a close.

1410
01:17:33,320 --> 01:17:36,120
Speaker 2: Like Morton, I'll be honest with you, I like Morton.

1411
01:17:38,760 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 2: I mean, Jacobe Williams can run the ball. But I

1412
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:46,880
Speaker 2: think ultimately, I think what you said will decide the game,

1413
01:17:46,920 --> 01:17:52,960
Speaker 2: which is the Tech secondary is vulnerable. They've never seen

1414
01:17:53,040 --> 01:17:56,720
Speaker 2: that this and all your receivers are like, you're you're

1415
01:17:56,800 --> 01:18:00,479
Speaker 2: healthy now at the wide receiver spot and uh.

1416
01:18:00,960 --> 01:18:02,639
Speaker 3: For the most part, yes, yeah.

1417
01:18:02,600 --> 01:18:05,320
Speaker 4: So like they didn't they didn't play a ton.

1418
01:18:07,080 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 3: In the uh in the that's where I took it.

1419
01:18:09,880 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 4: So I took off. No, No, they're they're they just didn't.

1420
01:18:13,280 --> 01:18:15,080
Speaker 4: They're healthy, they just didn't. They didn't play a lot

1421
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:17,960
Speaker 4: of snaps against Jamie, but they didn't have to. Yeah,

1422
01:18:18,040 --> 01:18:19,640
Speaker 4: I mean that was kind of my takeaway from that

1423
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 4: game that they're they're healthy and they didn't need to play.

1424
01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:28,040
Speaker 4: But I don't think Texas seen tex Tech has seen

1425
01:18:28,360 --> 01:18:32,120
Speaker 4: an offense like Oregon down the field, and that's where

1426
01:18:32,160 --> 01:18:35,320
Speaker 4: their secondary I think is vulnerable. I think it is,

1427
01:18:35,400 --> 01:18:37,479
Speaker 4: and the SU game was the best one for that

1428
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:43,639
Speaker 4: because they run the most similar passing concepts that Organ's

1429
01:18:43,640 --> 01:18:46,759
Speaker 4: gonna run because of you know, the the Kenny Dellingham.

1430
01:18:47,479 --> 01:18:49,120
Speaker 4: So I'll going forward to him, and I just think, look,

1431
01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,559
Speaker 4: I think a couple of things too, Like Oregon last

1432
01:18:52,640 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 4: year obviously did not play well in the in the

1433
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:03,000
Speaker 4: playoff game, and I think Dan Lanning spent this year

1434
01:19:04,040 --> 01:19:06,840
Speaker 4: trying to make sure they peak in this part of

1435
01:19:06,920 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 4: the season, and if you watch their season, that's what

1436
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:14,479
Speaker 4: it's led up to, and they're they're trying to peak

1437
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:18,200
Speaker 4: right now. I think that matters because they played in

1438
01:19:18,240 --> 01:19:20,799
Speaker 4: this game last year, know what that feels like? Texas

1439
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,320
Speaker 4: Tech did not they didn't play this game last season.

1440
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:25,920
Speaker 4: And then then it's a factor that we have not

1441
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 4: discussed enough in this game, is that Oregon sort of

1442
01:19:29,040 --> 01:19:30,680
Speaker 4: went through this last year and text Teck did not.

1443
01:19:31,400 --> 01:19:36,080
Speaker 4: I think that that that that does matter, right, And

1444
01:19:36,200 --> 01:19:37,719
Speaker 4: so I'm gonna go forward to it. Man, it should

1445
01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,240
Speaker 4: be funy. I think it's close game. I mean, what's

1446
01:19:39,240 --> 01:19:41,600
Speaker 4: surprised you with text Teck one. I just like the

1447
01:19:41,680 --> 01:19:44,960
Speaker 4: way we're playing right now, don't guys. One thing. Don't

1448
01:19:44,960 --> 01:19:47,519
Speaker 4: could cut up. Don't don't the fourth quarter of scoring

1449
01:19:47,560 --> 01:19:49,920
Speaker 4: ship by JAMU means absolutely nothing like what they don't.

1450
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:53,200
Speaker 4: Don't don't be obtuse. Okay, Organ was up to forty

1451
01:19:53,240 --> 01:19:56,280
Speaker 4: eight thirteen. They were winning that game, bye bye by plenty.

1452
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 4: Let's not be obtuse. Yeah.

1453
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:04,680
Speaker 3: Yeah. The other aspect of that is they need to

1454
01:20:04,760 --> 01:20:07,720
Speaker 3: fix that piece of it, like you can't have these

1455
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:09,040
Speaker 3: teams in the playoffs?

1456
01:20:09,760 --> 01:20:12,280
Speaker 4: Why well they all do they They put in in

1457
01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:14,599
Speaker 4: the third middle of third quarter, they put in line

1458
01:20:14,640 --> 01:20:17,000
Speaker 4: dockers that were red shirting. That's how. That's how they

1459
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:18,840
Speaker 4: just did. They did so much funny stuff in the

1460
01:20:18,840 --> 01:20:20,519
Speaker 4: second half of that game. They used it as a

1461
01:20:20,600 --> 01:20:22,280
Speaker 4: complete testing ground.

1462
01:20:22,840 --> 01:20:25,240
Speaker 2: That to me, it means nothing now I know, And

1463
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,240
Speaker 2: that's why they need to They need to not have

1464
01:20:29,200 --> 01:20:33,799
Speaker 2: like days don't belong. Cinderell does not live in college football.

1465
01:20:34,200 --> 01:20:35,679
Speaker 4: Oh yes, I agree, they're correct.

1466
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:39,160
Speaker 3: I mean when they redo this whole thing, they need

1467
01:20:39,240 --> 01:20:40,360
Speaker 3: to take that into consideration.

1468
01:20:40,479 --> 01:20:43,280
Speaker 2: We'll discuss more of that comes straight at hey where

1469
01:20:43,320 --> 01:20:46,040

1477
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:17,639
Speaker 4: a Thursday, because it kills the rest of the week

1498
01:22:26,720 --> 01:22:33,120
Speaker 4: which I would agree, you got Oregon, and then you

1499
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:41,439
Speaker 4: got Georgia and Indiana. Yeah, very chalky. I mean, you know,

1500
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:44,840
Speaker 4: I think I think chalk is legit. Though I think

1501
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:49,920
Speaker 4: the chalk I don't smell. I mean, I listen, I

1502
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:53,040
Speaker 4: think text tecond win. Sorry, buddy, I mean I think

1503
01:22:53,080 --> 01:22:56,320
Speaker 4: you know that. So yeah, I think that's the that's

1504
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:59,120
Speaker 4: the best of the games. I like Mississippi. I think

1505
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:04,160
Speaker 4: Misssippi can garrett Georgia, but ultimately Georgia, you're right, is

1506
01:23:04,160 --> 01:23:07,120
Speaker 4: probably gonna win the game. And then I don't see

1507
01:23:07,160 --> 01:23:09,920
Speaker 4: anyway Miami beach Ohio State. And then I don't see

1508
01:23:09,960 --> 01:23:17,960
Speaker 4: Alabama beating Indiana. I mean, I guess Alabama could we

1509
01:23:18,160 --> 01:23:23,360
Speaker 4: could win, right, because they're very talented. If they played

1510
01:23:23,400 --> 01:23:26,040
Speaker 4: to their full ability, they certainly could win the game.

1511
01:23:26,080 --> 01:23:29,800
Speaker 4: I don't think they match up welgins Indiana. They don't,

1512
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:33,080
Speaker 4: But I think it's I think that I think they

1513
01:23:33,160 --> 01:23:34,640
Speaker 4: can win the game. I don't think they're going to.

1514
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:40,479
Speaker 3: I always like to look at matchups like styles make fights, and.

1515
01:23:42,080 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 4: I don't I don't think they can match I don't

1516
01:23:43,680 --> 01:23:47,720
Speaker 4: think they match up Welgans Indiana, Like I think Mississippi

1517
01:23:48,960 --> 01:23:56,280
Speaker 4: matches up better against Georgia than Alabama does Indiana. Yes,

1518
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:02,639
Speaker 4: so you know, but I think ultimately Chalk is probably

1519
01:24:02,680 --> 01:24:06,960
Speaker 4: what's going to prevail. Yeah, I mean, I guess Oregon

1520
01:24:07,080 --> 01:24:08,840
Speaker 4: is chalk only because they're a slight favorite, right, but

1521
01:24:08,880 --> 01:24:09,799
Speaker 4: I mean that they're the low.

1522
01:24:09,760 --> 01:24:11,400
Speaker 2: I've really to about the other three games that game

1523
01:24:11,800 --> 01:24:18,080
Speaker 2: thatch game is I mean Oregon by resume right, like

1524
01:24:18,240 --> 01:24:22,439
Speaker 2: by yeah, stature like everybody knows how good Orgon is

1525
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:23,320
Speaker 2: stature wise.

1526
01:24:24,000 --> 01:24:27,559
Speaker 4: Texas Tech is a newcomer, so I think it's good.

1527
01:24:28,000 --> 01:24:30,240
Speaker 4: I was working on this during the break. I saw

1528
01:24:30,320 --> 01:24:32,240
Speaker 4: a tweet from a Texas Tech person who said that

1529
01:24:32,360 --> 01:24:35,639
Speaker 4: Oregon and Texas Tech both are they're one and two

1530
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:40,200
Speaker 4: nationally in exposive plays on offense, and no one's talking

1531
01:24:40,240 --> 01:24:43,720
Speaker 4: about Texas Tech being one of those teams. So you

1532
01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:47,280
Speaker 4: can you know, it's you can find stats very easily read,

1533
01:24:48,240 --> 01:24:50,559
Speaker 4: so I like, you know, say, CFP stats dot com.

1534
01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:54,479
Speaker 4: So I went and looked up opponent. Okay, opponent twenty

1535
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:57,360
Speaker 4: yard plus plays allowed. Okay, so they're supposed to play

1536
01:24:57,720 --> 01:25:00,040
Speaker 4: fifty yards is exposedive, but we'll go twenty because I

1537
01:25:00,080 --> 01:25:04,040
Speaker 4: can't find fifteen. Okay, twenty, all right, Texas that if

1538
01:25:04,040 --> 01:25:06,840
Speaker 4: you include nine conference games plus their tenth game, so

1539
01:25:06,880 --> 01:25:09,960
Speaker 4: BYU they played twice, right, Oregon played their nine conference

1540
01:25:10,040 --> 01:25:14,679
Speaker 4: games plus James Madison. Texas Tech's offense faced two teams

1541
01:25:15,360 --> 01:25:20,960
Speaker 4: inside the top fifty in allowing twenty plus yard plays

1542
01:25:21,080 --> 01:25:24,280
Speaker 4: ASU in UCL So they played a schedule full of

1543
01:25:24,320 --> 01:25:27,840
Speaker 4: teams that allow supposed to place. Oregon played nine of

1544
01:25:27,960 --> 01:25:30,760
Speaker 4: ten teams they're into the top fifteen allowing plays the

1545
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:34,200
Speaker 4: twenty plus yards. That's kind of my point about just

1546
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:39,080
Speaker 4: like Oregon's played a much tougher schedule and they've been

1547
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,840
Speaker 4: tested in ways the techtack has not been tested, and

1548
01:25:42,520 --> 01:25:45,479
Speaker 4: I think that matters in games when the margins are

1549
01:25:45,560 --> 01:25:46,120
Speaker 4: really close.

1550
01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:51,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's fair. I think it's fair to

1551
01:25:51,520 --> 01:25:55,479
Speaker 2: look at it in that way. And you know, I

1552
01:25:55,760 --> 01:25:58,880
Speaker 2: like Tech, Like I told you, I like Morton. I

1553
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:01,479
Speaker 2: liked their offense. I mean, obviously they're good.

1554
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:04,839
Speaker 4: Their front is so so predicated though on the defense

1555
01:26:04,920 --> 01:26:07,160
Speaker 4: helping them. They're number on the country and field position,

1556
01:26:07,720 --> 01:26:09,200
Speaker 4: and they're terrible in the red zone, which is not

1557
01:26:09,320 --> 01:26:11,040
Speaker 4: good to be terrible the red zone and get any

1558
01:26:11,160 --> 01:26:14,320
Speaker 4: number on the country in field position. If Oregon cannot

1559
01:26:14,360 --> 01:26:16,200
Speaker 4: turn the ball over, I think it could be double

1560
01:26:16,240 --> 01:26:22,720
Speaker 4: digit win if they don't turn the ball over. If

1561
01:26:22,720 --> 01:26:26,559
Speaker 4: they don't turn the ball over, what if Texas text

1562
01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 4: average field position instead of starting from the thirty seven

1563
01:26:28,960 --> 01:26:33,120
Speaker 4: whatever it is? Is the is the twenty three? Yeah,

1564
01:26:33,200 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 4: but here's the one. Here's the one thing. Man, I

1565
01:26:35,520 --> 01:26:40,639
Speaker 4: think you know their front is really good. Yeah, yeah,

1566
01:26:40,680 --> 01:26:45,160
Speaker 4: I said no, the dns are incredible. Front is nasty, man,

1567
01:26:46,479 --> 01:26:49,320
Speaker 4: You know, a couple. All it takes is one big

1568
01:26:49,400 --> 01:26:52,240
Speaker 4: negative play to kill a drive. Oh, I don't think

1569
01:26:52,280 --> 01:26:54,479
Speaker 4: we're scoring a ton of points. I don't think that's

1570
01:26:54,479 --> 01:26:55,080
Speaker 4: text to the score.

1571
01:26:55,160 --> 01:26:57,439
Speaker 2: Well, when you're hitting me with double digits, I just

1572
01:26:57,520 --> 01:26:59,120
Speaker 2: gotta side, just gotta slow your.

1573
01:26:59,040 --> 01:26:59,680
Speaker 3: Roll a little bit.

1574
01:27:00,240 --> 01:27:04,160
Speaker 4: You know, if if they if they don't force any

1575
01:27:04,200 --> 01:27:06,439
Speaker 4: turnovers and their number of the country and forcing turnovers

1576
01:27:06,479 --> 01:27:08,080
Speaker 4: and the number one the country and field position on

1577
01:27:08,200 --> 01:27:11,200
Speaker 4: offense with the offense that can't score in the red zone,

1578
01:27:12,120 --> 01:27:14,439
Speaker 4: are they going to Texas not going to be you know,

1579
01:27:14,520 --> 01:27:16,400
Speaker 4: will this be a close game of textics to forces

1580
01:27:16,439 --> 01:27:17,080
Speaker 4: no turnovers?

1581
01:27:20,240 --> 01:27:23,160
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I'm not the biggest stats guy. I've

1582
01:27:23,240 --> 01:27:24,680
Speaker 3: watched them, you know.

1583
01:27:26,439 --> 01:27:29,360
Speaker 2: I like their offense, dude, I mean, yeah, do they

1584
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:34,240
Speaker 2: live off of is their defense and that front? Does

1585
01:27:34,320 --> 01:27:37,120
Speaker 2: that propel them? Is that help their offense? Yeah, I mean,

1586
01:27:37,160 --> 01:27:39,400
Speaker 2: I mean I think that's obvious. But I think in

1587
01:27:39,479 --> 01:27:42,240
Speaker 2: the I think it's a game. I don't think it's

1588
01:27:42,280 --> 01:27:44,920
Speaker 2: a double digit or if we say, if we don't

1589
01:27:44,920 --> 01:27:46,920
Speaker 2: turn the ball out, I know, I know what you said,

1590
01:27:47,280 --> 01:27:49,360
Speaker 2: I hear, but that's a big part of the.

1591
01:27:51,360 --> 01:27:54,200
Speaker 3: Yeah. But see, I think it goes beyond just turnovers.

1592
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:58,479
Speaker 2: I think that their front is going to provide negative

1593
01:27:58,479 --> 01:28:04,479
Speaker 2: plays at times, and that will kill drive kill drives plural.

1594
01:28:05,120 --> 01:28:07,040
Speaker 4: It's a very good test for offensive line. That's that's

1595
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 4: really good our tackles. It's gonna good test for them

1596
01:28:09,160 --> 01:28:11,120
Speaker 4: to face these guys. I think we'll have a good plan,

1597
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:12,600
Speaker 4: but I'm kind of curious to see what we do

1598
01:28:12,680 --> 01:28:14,799
Speaker 4: because we've had games this year we playing their defenses

1599
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:16,920
Speaker 4: where we sort of just try to play the ball

1600
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,240
Speaker 4: control game and not make mistakes and it worked well.

1601
01:28:20,240 --> 01:28:22,479
Speaker 3: I think attack them down the field man, to be

1602
01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:22,920
Speaker 3: honest with.

1603
01:28:23,720 --> 01:28:25,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think we would take our We'll take chances

1604
01:28:25,400 --> 01:28:27,040
Speaker 4: when we need to. But I don't know how much

1605
01:28:27,120 --> 01:28:30,080
Speaker 4: of our game plan will actually be that just watching

1606
01:28:30,120 --> 01:28:31,840
Speaker 4: them play this so far this season, I think we

1607
01:28:31,960 --> 01:28:34,320
Speaker 4: have to take shots, but it's not something that we've

1608
01:28:34,400 --> 01:28:38,320
Speaker 4: done a lot against Iowa Penn State, you know, Like,

1609
01:28:38,479 --> 01:28:41,320
Speaker 4: but then again, against Iowa, we had no wide receivers,

1610
01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:44,280
Speaker 4: so that's a big difference. Yeah, I think you need

1611
01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:49,680
Speaker 4: that against them, against their front. I think I think

1612
01:28:49,720 --> 01:28:52,519
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to move the pocket. I think you're

1613
01:28:52,560 --> 01:28:54,200
Speaker 4: gonna have to buy time, and I think you're gonna

1614
01:28:54,200 --> 01:28:56,720
Speaker 4: have to take some shots. I think it's the only

1615
01:28:56,760 --> 01:28:59,920
Speaker 4: way you're gonna you're gonna soften them up a little bit.

1616
01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:03,479
Speaker 4: I think you gotta do that. I think that's gonna

1617
01:29:03,479 --> 01:29:08,679
Speaker 4: be a fun game. Man, that's gonna be a great one. Wait, obviously,

1618
01:29:08,920 --> 01:29:13,160
Speaker 4: and that's the first one on January first, Yeah, the

1619
01:29:13,320 --> 01:29:15,640
Speaker 4: three that's the first of the three games on New

1620
01:29:15,680 --> 01:29:19,360
Speaker 4: Year's Day. So how do you see let me ask

1621
01:29:19,439 --> 01:29:23,040
Speaker 4: it is all right, how do you see it going forward?

1622
01:29:24,000 --> 01:29:25,920
Speaker 2: Like, if you're gonna redo the whole thing, you might

1623
01:29:25,960 --> 01:29:29,720
Speaker 2: as well redo the whole thing, including the pole season

1624
01:29:31,080 --> 01:29:33,800
Speaker 2: trying to incorporate to figure out what we're gonna do.

1625
01:29:33,800 --> 01:29:37,600
Speaker 4: A championship game. The conference championship games are they playings.

1626
01:29:38,280 --> 01:29:41,200
Speaker 4: There's so much to tackle, but you got and you

1627
01:29:41,280 --> 01:29:42,080
Speaker 4: gotta you have to do.

1628
01:29:42,120 --> 01:29:46,880
Speaker 3: It this year. You gotta figure this thing out. I

1629
01:29:46,920 --> 01:29:48,160
Speaker 3: don't figured out this year.

1630
01:29:48,439 --> 01:29:52,559
Speaker 4: I think that the playoff folks spand they're gonna make

1631
01:29:52,640 --> 01:29:59,880
Speaker 4: it to where the the the teams that make it

1632
01:30:00,760 --> 01:30:03,760
Speaker 4: are gonna be based off conference record and not off

1633
01:30:03,800 --> 01:30:06,400
Speaker 4: the committee choosing, which is what the Big Ten is

1634
01:30:06,439 --> 01:30:08,120
Speaker 4: trying to do right where they say like, hey, we're

1635
01:30:08,160 --> 01:30:10,639
Speaker 4: gonna make it to where you know, the top three

1636
01:30:10,720 --> 01:30:12,840
Speaker 4: teams go, and then we'll have a playing game for

1637
01:30:12,920 --> 01:30:15,160
Speaker 4: four verse five and therefore the community don't have to

1638
01:30:15,240 --> 01:30:18,080
Speaker 4: decide you know, who's in who's not in. So I

1639
01:30:18,120 --> 01:30:20,679
Speaker 4: think we're gonna have expanded playoff. Look, here's the problem

1640
01:30:20,720 --> 01:30:24,000
Speaker 4: with with the playoff this year. Specifically, the goals we

1641
01:30:24,080 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 4: talked about many times is to make sure the playoff

1642
01:30:26,479 --> 01:30:28,080
Speaker 4: has all the teams to go in a championship. It's

1643
01:30:28,080 --> 01:30:30,400
Speaker 4: not a participation tournament. I hate that argument so much. Well,

1644
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:33,800
Speaker 4: the G five needs to be involved so they feel

1645
01:30:33,800 --> 01:30:36,519
Speaker 4: like they're they matter. I'm like, let's come on, we're

1646
01:30:36,560 --> 01:30:39,280
Speaker 4: adults like that, that's a ridiculous thing to say. In sports,

1647
01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:42,160
Speaker 4: they matter or we need someone to matter. Who come on,

1648
01:30:42,439 --> 01:30:45,920
Speaker 4: grow up? Right, The point of a championship is to

1649
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:49,800
Speaker 4: find is to find a champion, right, And people point

1650
01:30:49,840 --> 01:30:53,040
Speaker 4: to the March madness and say, well, well, look at

1651
01:30:53,080 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 4: many teams they get in. The mid majors get in there.

1652
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:57,640
Speaker 4: But guess who also makes it all the teams that

1653
01:30:57,680 --> 01:31:00,360
Speaker 4: can win a championship. When you leave the other day out,

1654
01:31:00,800 --> 01:31:04,160
Speaker 4: you're not doing a job you're required to do. You're

1655
01:31:04,200 --> 01:31:06,080
Speaker 4: not doing the job to have the playoff teams and

1656
01:31:06,080 --> 01:31:09,479
Speaker 4: they can win a championship. So if if it would

1657
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:12,360
Speaker 4: have been if it would have been a Notre Dame

1658
01:31:12,560 --> 01:31:15,439
Speaker 4: plus ten other teams and then one group of five team,

1659
01:31:15,479 --> 01:31:17,720
Speaker 4: I think we have no complaints. Of course b Yu

1660
01:31:17,840 --> 01:31:19,439
Speaker 4: fans and Fanny fans will can play. But then you

1661
01:31:19,760 --> 01:31:21,640
Speaker 4: but you have all the teams they can win a championship,

1662
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:23,599
Speaker 4: like all the teams. They don't need checks not win

1663
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:25,680
Speaker 4: a championship. But the point is that if you have

1664
01:31:25,760 --> 01:31:27,720
Speaker 4: Notre Dame in the tournament, every team they can win

1665
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:30,120
Speaker 4: a championship is in. And we don't talk about this,

1666
01:31:30,840 --> 01:31:32,920
Speaker 4: but the fact is the tournament did not get Notre

1667
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,400
Speaker 4: Dame in, and that's where the problem is. So I

1668
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:38,400
Speaker 4: think that they correct that, and obviously it is absolutely

1669
01:31:38,439 --> 01:31:40,280
Speaker 4: ridiculous the Notre Dame, it gets a free spot in

1670
01:31:40,320 --> 01:31:41,920
Speaker 4: the tournament if they're in the top twelve. That has

1671
01:31:41,960 --> 01:31:44,080
Speaker 4: to be fixed. That that that to be is insane.

1672
01:31:45,720 --> 01:31:49,080
Speaker 4: You know, think about this. I know USC they're they're

1673
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:51,559
Speaker 4: soft and weak for cancering the series with Notre Dame.

1674
01:31:51,600 --> 01:31:53,799
Speaker 4: But I get some of it because imagine this. Imagine

1675
01:31:53,920 --> 01:31:58,800
Speaker 4: USC were to beat Notre Dame. Okay, but you and

1676
01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,400
Speaker 4: USC is right eleventh and their name is right twelve.

1677
01:32:01,600 --> 01:32:02,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, they have to get in.

1678
01:32:03,000 --> 01:32:04,920
Speaker 4: They would get in, which is again like that's just

1679
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:09,200
Speaker 4: absolutely crazy. So I think that eventually we expand a

1680
01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:11,680
Speaker 4: little bit, so everyone gets in who's supposed to get in.

1681
01:32:11,800 --> 01:32:13,240
Speaker 4: So you don't think it happened. You don't think it

1682
01:32:13,280 --> 01:32:15,559
Speaker 4: happens this year where they expand. I thought they can't

1683
01:32:15,600 --> 01:32:17,120
Speaker 4: do it for next year. I thought the time limit

1684
01:32:17,160 --> 01:32:20,680
Speaker 4: passed or is that not true? I don't I don't know.

1685
01:32:20,720 --> 01:32:22,240
Speaker 4: I don't want to talk. I don't want to say

1686
01:32:22,240 --> 01:32:24,960
Speaker 4: anything wrong. So again, I think that's where we end

1687
01:32:25,040 --> 01:32:27,800
Speaker 4: up eventually. But I don't know if what happens this year.

1688
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:31,479
Speaker 4: I don't buy the dude, I just don't buy this

1689
01:32:31,600 --> 01:32:33,600
Speaker 4: argument that like the G five has to be in

1690
01:32:33,720 --> 01:32:36,600
Speaker 4: because they have to feel included. Since when is that

1691
01:32:36,680 --> 01:32:38,160
Speaker 4: a thing? In controotball?

1692
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:41,519
Speaker 2: I went to Honestly, I don't think they belong period.

1693
01:32:42,640 --> 01:32:46,000
Speaker 2: They don't stack up on the field. How many times

1694
01:32:46,040 --> 01:32:50,680
Speaker 2: you want to see this if you can't? Was a

1695
01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:53,679
Speaker 2: joke last week? I mean those games were jokes.

1696
01:32:53,840 --> 01:32:56,160
Speaker 4: Did you know that that UCF once beat Auburn and

1697
01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:59,600
Speaker 4: a Meles's Bowl game? It happened one time that I

1698
01:33:00,080 --> 01:33:04,320
Speaker 4: love people are like, are like Hawaii, be cal see

1699
01:33:04,920 --> 01:33:08,720
Speaker 4: group of five? What does that do with anything? Disingenuous

1700
01:33:08,760 --> 01:33:13,000
Speaker 4: argument is that yards a jmu. I mean, the problem is,

1701
01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:18,320
Speaker 4: and it's ridiculous, but you can't stack up defensively. You

1702
01:33:18,360 --> 01:33:22,519
Speaker 4: don't have defronts or just ran by James Madison they

1703
01:33:22,560 --> 01:33:25,559
Speaker 4: were a top twenty defense. They just would like, well,

1704
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:28,120
Speaker 4: congratulations on that. We're just gonna run right by you.

1705
01:33:30,840 --> 01:33:34,200
Speaker 4: I mean maybe so one one is fine. Two is ridiculous,

1706
01:33:34,600 --> 01:33:37,000
Speaker 4: and I think that may tie all of them. I

1707
01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:39,880
Speaker 4: think that's where we're going. But also to like again,

1708
01:33:39,960 --> 01:33:41,560
Speaker 4: I went to Oregon. When I went to Oregon in

1709
01:33:41,600 --> 01:33:44,040
Speaker 4: two thousand and four, I did not think the only

1710
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:47,240
Speaker 4: way I felt like I was participating againting inclusion was

1711
01:33:47,400 --> 01:33:50,720
Speaker 4: making a playoff. I look or row like. The fact

1712
01:33:50,880 --> 01:33:52,559
Speaker 4: was like I wanted to make a Rose Bowl, like once,

1713
01:33:52,600 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 4: you know, if we make one Rose win ten games, Like,

1714
01:33:55,479 --> 01:33:58,120
Speaker 4: There's plenty of ways to be successful without making a playoff,

1715
01:33:58,160 --> 01:33:59,560
Speaker 4: And the idea that the only way you can be

1716
01:33:59,600 --> 01:34:02,200
Speaker 4: success is having inclusion of the playoff, to me is

1717
01:34:02,240 --> 01:34:05,960
Speaker 4: really backwards thinking. And the idea again that like you

1718
01:34:06,120 --> 01:34:08,679
Speaker 4: include the little guys I feel like they know you don't.

1719
01:34:09,120 --> 01:34:10,880
Speaker 4: You don't because they're not playing the same sport as

1720
01:34:10,960 --> 01:34:14,240
Speaker 4: Organ's playing or Old Miss is playing, and to pretend

1721
01:34:14,280 --> 01:34:17,160
Speaker 4: they are, to me is disingenuous and you know better.

1722
01:34:17,479 --> 01:34:22,439
Speaker 4: You know better, JAMU going twelve and one and playing

1723
01:34:22,520 --> 01:34:26,000
Speaker 4: the Pop Tarts Bowl is incredible season. They don't need

1724
01:34:26,080 --> 01:34:27,360
Speaker 4: to play a playoff game for there to be an

1725
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,560
Speaker 4: incredible season. So I just think everyone is lying to

1726
01:34:30,560 --> 01:34:35,240
Speaker 4: themselves about what this is actually about, which is finance champion. Yeah, well,

1727
01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:39,679
Speaker 4: you have to also understand the nature of the sport

1728
01:34:40,400 --> 01:34:44,720
Speaker 4: and with the trenches mean to the sport, Like what

1729
01:34:44,840 --> 01:34:47,720
Speaker 4: are we kidding ourselves? I hate it.

1730
01:34:48,479 --> 01:34:51,400
Speaker 3: I hate it, hate it because I.

1731
01:34:51,520 --> 01:34:55,519
Speaker 4: Think it's just nonsense and there's no reason for it,

1732
01:34:56,320 --> 01:35:01,240
Speaker 4: like like let me cry for Notre Dame. But everyone

1733
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:03,000
Speaker 4: has to be involved in they do, you know that

1734
01:35:04,000 --> 01:35:08,280
Speaker 4: has to be involved. They need to whack up this

1735
01:35:08,400 --> 01:35:11,640
Speaker 4: whole thing into two leagues like an A and to B.

1736
01:35:13,040 --> 01:35:18,679
Speaker 4: And in the A is you know Big ten SEC.

1737
01:35:18,920 --> 01:35:21,559
Speaker 2: Let them swallow up the ACC and the Big twelve,

1738
01:35:22,360 --> 01:35:25,400
Speaker 2: and you got the two conferences like the A f

1739
01:35:25,520 --> 01:35:26,559
Speaker 2: C and the NFC.

1740
01:35:27,479 --> 01:35:28,839
Speaker 3: They then put them into.

1741
01:35:28,720 --> 01:35:32,719
Speaker 2: Divisions so we don't have this ridiculous nonsense of USC

1742
01:35:33,040 --> 01:35:37,439
Speaker 2: playing Rutgers. Right, So they're all divisions, they're all under

1743
01:35:37,560 --> 01:35:41,759
Speaker 2: two conferences. You don't want to go with sixty teams.

1744
01:35:41,880 --> 01:35:42,360
Speaker 3: I don't know if.

1745
01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:46,840
Speaker 4: And then the other half has its B League and

1746
01:35:46,960 --> 01:35:49,439
Speaker 4: then that's the B League. They play in the separate

1747
01:35:49,600 --> 01:35:54,519
Speaker 4: league with a separate championship. And then you can cross

1748
01:35:54,600 --> 01:35:59,600
Speaker 4: poul Nayton toward the balls. You can have relegation that

1749
01:35:59,760 --> 01:36:03,240
Speaker 4: the bottom of the A League. Incredible, like the bottom

1750
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:06,080
Speaker 4: of the A League then goes to the B League,

1751
01:36:06,560 --> 01:36:08,960
Speaker 4: like you know, a Clemson got relegated.

1752
01:36:09,000 --> 01:36:11,439
Speaker 3: I'm just throwing it out there, you know, like you

1753
01:36:11,520 --> 01:36:14,360
Speaker 3: could have that. That's interesting. I got it.

1754
01:36:14,680 --> 01:36:17,840
Speaker 2: But you still have this B League. TV will still

1755
01:36:17,920 --> 01:36:20,920
Speaker 2: televise it, people will still watch it. They'll still be

1756
01:36:21,080 --> 01:36:24,880
Speaker 2: like you bet on it, right, So it will it

1757
01:36:24,920 --> 01:36:29,120
Speaker 2: will be interesting. I think you add incredible. I think

1758
01:36:29,240 --> 01:36:32,680
Speaker 2: having the A to B League, just like you know,

1759
01:36:32,880 --> 01:36:37,600
Speaker 2: European soccer having you know, the buddhest League and the

1760
01:36:37,880 --> 01:36:39,360
Speaker 2: Seria and the Plain.

1761
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:41,439
Speaker 4: It's more about the English Premier leaue right where you

1762
01:36:41,520 --> 01:36:47,880
Speaker 4: have these level I'm mixing my metaphors of champions. Yeah,

1763
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:50,679
Speaker 4: it's like I didn't I didn't see that coming.

1764
01:36:52,040 --> 01:36:52,240
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1765
01:36:52,520 --> 01:36:55,840
Speaker 2: I've grown to really like it, you know, really like

01:36:56,240 --> 01:36:59,040

1791
01:38:15,960 --> 01:38:18,360
Speaker 4: I mean, besides, it was just a cookie cutter stadium

1792
01:38:18,439 --> 01:38:19,240
Speaker 4: like the rest of them. For that.

1793
01:38:19,520 --> 01:38:20,040

1796
01:38:26,720 --> 01:38:29,240
Speaker 4: horrible place. I don't think I I think I was

1797

Speaker 4: too old to play any of the cookie Cutters. Yeah.

1798
01:38:31,520 --> 01:38:33,639

1803
01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:01,960
Speaker 4: to tell you all the cost cutters that was still there. Well,

1804
01:39:02,240 --> 01:39:05,040
Speaker 4: Candlestick wasn't a cookie cutter, well it was. It was

1805
01:39:05,080 --> 01:39:07,519
Speaker 4: the multi use stadium that was like the other ones.

1806
01:39:08,160 --> 01:39:10,519
Speaker 4: It was like, it's like Oaklan Cllsbut okaholla, see that's

1807
01:39:10,520 --> 01:39:10,800
Speaker 4: not cooking.

1808
01:39:11,320 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 3: What's kind of the same thing. That's Candlestick in that.

1809
01:39:14,520 --> 01:39:18,120
Speaker 4: Lobby to which used to be the the multi use

1810
01:39:18,160 --> 01:39:19,120
Speaker 4: stadium too in Miami.

1811
01:39:20,800 --> 01:39:24,120
Speaker 3: The But of all the cookie cutters, those kind of

1812
01:39:24,160 --> 01:39:25,880
Speaker 3: ones that were built in the seventies.

1813
01:39:25,640 --> 01:39:31,519
Speaker 4: Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Saint Louis, Saint Louis and and you guys,

1814
01:39:31,600 --> 01:39:35,280
Speaker 4: I mean does does does Jack Restalls? Pittsburgh, does Quail

1815
01:39:35,320 --> 01:39:37,320
Speaker 4: coom Count? It does? Right, I think it's a cookie cutter.

1816
01:39:38,120 --> 01:39:39,880
Speaker 4: It was a multipurpose, but it was insane. There was

1817
01:39:39,880 --> 01:39:43,599
Speaker 4: a multipurpose, it wasn't. It wasn't that that style.

1818
01:39:43,720 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 2: The architecture that was those places were awful and the

1819
01:39:48,400 --> 01:39:53,360
Speaker 2: only one that was actually Pittsburgh because I remember covering

1820
01:39:53,400 --> 01:39:57,240
Speaker 2: a game at the end of three rivers, and it

1821
01:39:57,439 --> 01:40:02,440
Speaker 2: was it was awsome, like you know Steelers terrible towels.

1822
01:40:03,640 --> 01:40:07,600
Speaker 3: It was pretty it was pretty cool, like for what

1823
01:40:07,720 --> 01:40:08,040
Speaker 3: it was.

1824
01:40:08,720 --> 01:40:15,040
Speaker 4: I despise that these outdoor teams are moving to domes.

1825
01:40:15,240 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 4: I hate it with every fiber of my being that

1826
01:40:18,680 --> 01:40:23,120
Speaker 4: the Chiefs, the Browns, the Bears are all moving inside.

1827
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:26,200
Speaker 4: I think it's not what football for football to put

1828
01:40:26,240 --> 01:40:29,640
Speaker 4: outside on grass. You're losing a home foot advantage if

1829
01:40:29,680 --> 01:40:32,200
Speaker 4: you if you do this for what the Chiefs are

1830
01:40:32,200 --> 01:40:35,400
Speaker 4: gonna get one super Bowl that's it. They're not getting two,

1831
01:40:35,840 --> 01:40:38,280
Speaker 4: are not getting three. Are getting one. Like they're like,

1832
01:40:38,360 --> 01:40:41,519
Speaker 4: we'll get playing. They're getting one. About Detroit got one,

1833
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:46,479
Speaker 4: Minnesota got one. I think it is I to to

1834
01:40:46,880 --> 01:40:50,519
Speaker 4: there's no offense to any cold weather city, but to

1835
01:40:51,000 --> 01:40:54,880
Speaker 4: be a Super Bowl team and have to go stay

1836
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:58,840
Speaker 4: a week in a cold weather city, I think is

1837
01:40:59,120 --> 01:41:01,560
Speaker 4: ridiculous and not fair to the team who's in the

1838
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:03,840
Speaker 4: Super Bowl, Like why would you know?

1839
01:41:03,880 --> 01:41:05,599
Speaker 2: I agree, I don't think they. I think they need

1840
01:41:05,680 --> 01:41:11,799
Speaker 2: to be in destination cities. So you know, Miami, California.

1841
01:41:11,560 --> 01:41:15,320
Speaker 4: Atw Orleans, Tampa, like I've I've been to now like

1842
01:41:15,439 --> 01:41:18,559
Speaker 4: a Vegas you go to Vegas. Vegas was fine. Vegas

1843
01:41:18,640 --> 01:41:20,639
Speaker 4: was just it's just like, I don't the strip. I'm

1844
01:41:20,640 --> 01:41:22,760
Speaker 4: tired of staying on the strip. Vegas is just kind

1845
01:41:22,760 --> 01:41:26,240
Speaker 4: of like annoying to get around. But it's a good

1846
01:41:26,280 --> 01:41:29,760
Speaker 4: it's a good host city. Obviously. I've been to like

1847
01:41:29,920 --> 01:41:31,720
Speaker 4: seven years in years and run now like the one

1848
01:41:31,760 --> 01:41:34,759
Speaker 4: in Minnesota was miserable because you're just nigga fifteen degrees outside,

1849
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,839
Speaker 4: Like what, that's terrible. I want to go to Arizona.

1850
01:41:37,840 --> 01:41:39,360
Speaker 4: I want to go to Miami, which was a ton

1851
01:41:39,400 --> 01:41:42,040
Speaker 4: of fun. I agree, you know, I I agree, Like

1852
01:41:42,200 --> 01:41:45,240
Speaker 4: I have this argument all the time here because they're

1853
01:41:45,240 --> 01:41:49,000
Speaker 4: gonna put a dome and here in my town and

1854
01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:51,680
Speaker 4: I'm against it, and I should be.

1855
01:41:51,920 --> 01:41:54,040
Speaker 2: I mean, Jeffrey Lowie is going to do it, and

1856
01:41:54,360 --> 01:41:57,519
Speaker 2: you know, the argument for it is, hey, we're you know,

1857
01:41:57,640 --> 01:42:00,400
Speaker 2: we'll get super Bowls and she doubles.

1858
01:42:01,120 --> 01:42:03,760
Speaker 4: I agree with you. It's singular, right, It's that's what

1859
01:42:03,920 --> 01:42:06,200
Speaker 4: it is. And as much as I love my town,

1860
01:42:06,680 --> 01:42:08,960
Speaker 4: I mean, it's not it's not like super Bowl town,

1861
01:42:09,080 --> 01:42:12,840
Speaker 4: like it's Cannon. They should be in destination town. So

1862
01:42:12,880 --> 01:42:15,040
Speaker 4: I'm with you, gonna take quick to you. We'll come

01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:10,880
Speaker 2: big weekend of football. As you guys well know, the

1876
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:15,400
Speaker 2: playoff picture is just about set. The only thing that

1877
01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:21,599
Speaker 2: we need to know is Carolina tamp in reality, Panthers

1878
01:43:21,720 --> 01:43:25,479
Speaker 2: win and a Bucks loss or a Panthers tying a

1879
01:43:25,560 --> 01:43:26,320
Speaker 2: Bucks loss.

1880
01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:28,560
Speaker 3: We'll clinch it for Carolina.

1881
01:43:29,040 --> 01:43:34,080
Speaker 7: Yes, so that's gonna happen on Sunday, but we will

1882
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:37,120
Speaker 7: find out. Yeah, that's why they play the games, all right,

1883
01:43:37,240 --> 01:43:39,400
Speaker 7: So let's look at what we got.

1884
01:43:39,600 --> 01:43:42,000
Speaker 4: You kind of go through some of the and I'll

1885
01:43:42,040 --> 01:43:44,360
Speaker 4: give you the brains picks coming up because he texted

1886
01:43:44,400 --> 01:43:46,400
Speaker 4: me to brain he's in Vegas right now. The brain

1887
01:43:46,479 --> 01:43:52,639
Speaker 4: nice Texans and Chargers today, Chargers one and a half

1888
01:43:53,600 --> 01:43:58,839
Speaker 4: over to Texans again. I'm riding Houston. I love that defense.

1889
01:43:58,960 --> 01:44:01,599
Speaker 4: I want to ride him again. I like the under

1890
01:44:01,640 --> 01:44:03,200
Speaker 4: a lot in this game, under thirty nine and a half,

1891
01:44:03,479 --> 01:44:05,240
Speaker 4: so I would ride with the under this one. If

1892
01:44:05,240 --> 01:44:11,200
Speaker 4: I had to pick, I would pick up probably probably

1893
01:44:11,200 --> 01:44:14,519
Speaker 4: the Texans too. Yeah, yeah, I just think that.

1894
01:44:14,640 --> 01:44:18,000
Speaker 3: Don't think Chargers having luff offensively.

1895
01:44:19,600 --> 01:44:21,800
Speaker 4: We'll find out, won't we. I think I think the

1896
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,240
Speaker 4: tackles are gonna are gonna feast. I think there's like

1897
01:44:24,320 --> 01:44:27,160
Speaker 4: a sack prop like total sacks for this game. I

1898
01:44:27,439 --> 01:44:32,960
Speaker 4: think the Texans are gonna after Herbert mister Anderson. Another

1899
01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 4: big day, Uh, Ravens and Packers is the night game. Uh,

1900
01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,240
Speaker 4: I just think I know no Jordan Love, no Lamar Jackson.

1901
01:44:43,320 --> 01:44:45,320
Speaker 4: I think that. I just think the Ravens are sort

1902
01:44:45,360 --> 01:44:47,439
Speaker 4: of dead right now. So I would certainly lean here

1903
01:44:47,520 --> 01:44:52,360
Speaker 4: toward the the the home team here and the Packers

1904
01:44:53,720 --> 01:44:58,760
Speaker 4: too much. The Peacock game, Oh yeah, I'll probably be

1905
01:44:59,280 --> 01:45:01,640
Speaker 4: peacock and myself to sleep early, so it's fun with me,

1906
01:45:04,760 --> 01:45:05,080
Speaker 4: all right.

1907
01:45:05,560 --> 01:45:14,320
Speaker 2: Uh, Tomorrow here's the slate Pittsburgh and Cleveland. Where you

1908
01:45:14,439 --> 01:45:15,320
Speaker 2: at with the Steelers?

1909
01:45:15,400 --> 01:45:22,360
Speaker 4: My man, I actually think that in this game. I

1910
01:45:22,439 --> 01:45:24,920
Speaker 4: think the Browns could win this game a couple of reasons.

1911
01:45:26,120 --> 01:45:29,080
Speaker 4: One is, this game might not matter at all if

1912
01:45:29,160 --> 01:45:32,920
Speaker 4: the Ravens lose tonight, the Steelers win the division. That's

1913
01:45:33,000 --> 01:45:36,000
Speaker 4: it division? Yeah, so how much you know what are

1914
01:45:36,040 --> 01:45:38,000
Speaker 4: they going to be playing for in this game against Cleveland?

1915
01:45:38,680 --> 01:45:43,839
Speaker 4: Cleveland actually doesn't play terribly against the Steelers at home recently.

1916
01:45:44,680 --> 01:45:50,360
Speaker 4: But this is also this is also just the exact

1917
01:45:50,560 --> 01:45:53,599
Speaker 4: moment to bet against Pittsburgh, right when they're a road

1918
01:45:53,680 --> 01:45:56,680
Speaker 4: favorite off a big win against the Lions, Like this

1919
01:45:56,880 --> 01:46:00,519
Speaker 4: is a prime bet against Mike Tommlan And so I

1920
01:46:00,640 --> 01:46:11,080
Speaker 4: like the Browns cover this game? You Wiingling and the Jets? Yeah,

1921
01:46:11,160 --> 01:46:12,840
Speaker 4: I mean pass? Yeah?

1922
01:46:15,280 --> 01:46:19,760
Speaker 3: How about this barn Burner? The Saints and the Titans.

1923
01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:26,160
Speaker 4: The known Saints defense actually playing pretty well right now,

1924
01:46:26,360 --> 01:46:29,880
Speaker 4: like the last five weeks or like top five and deficiency.

1925
01:46:29,920 --> 01:46:33,200
Speaker 4: It's kind of crazy, and I don't trust the Saints

1926
01:46:33,240 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 4: on the road at all. Uh, So I would stay

1927
01:46:35,960 --> 01:46:38,320
Speaker 4: away from this game. I think I would probably back

1928
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:42,360
Speaker 4: Tannacy if I had to. Saints actually playing better football man.

1929
01:46:43,040 --> 01:46:49,960
Speaker 4: Football Shuck has played well. Yeah, he's played race had some,

1930
01:46:50,080 --> 01:46:53,400
Speaker 4: he had some. He's had a nice run over the

1931
01:46:53,479 --> 01:46:58,400
Speaker 4: last six weeks. He's played good football man. Yeah, I agree.

1932
01:46:59,360 --> 01:47:07,880
Speaker 2: Uh, all right, Jaguars and Colts. Trevor Lawrence, Sunshine man.

1933
01:47:08,200 --> 01:47:12,000
Speaker 2: He told me about a stretcher playing well. Sunshine's bawling

1934
01:47:12,080 --> 01:47:15,080
Speaker 2: out by Sunshine.

1935
01:47:16,120 --> 01:47:23,200
Speaker 4: I think that the cults are dead as well. So

1936
01:47:23,439 --> 01:47:26,080
Speaker 4: this is sort of like an opportunity for the for

1937
01:47:26,200 --> 01:47:28,840
Speaker 4: the Jaguars to sort of nail the coffin with the

1938
01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:31,400
Speaker 4: culture they look. They just they're not good on defense.

1939
01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:33,720
Speaker 4: We talked about this for weeks now. Combine that with

1940
01:47:34,320 --> 01:47:37,680
Speaker 4: the Jacksonville defense is good. It's a good defense, And

1941
01:47:38,520 --> 01:47:40,559
Speaker 4: I did think they're going to really make life really

1942
01:47:40,640 --> 01:47:44,040
Speaker 4: miserable for Philip Rivers in this game. So I will

1943
01:47:44,640 --> 01:47:49,559
Speaker 4: gladly take the Jaguars to cover this game, all right.

1944
01:47:51,560 --> 01:47:56,080
Speaker 4: Tampa and Miami Cors. I mean, I think I would

1945
01:47:56,120 --> 01:47:58,000
Speaker 4: look at Miami to cover this game before I look

1946
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:01,960
Speaker 4: anything for him doing anything else in this game. Tampa Bays,

1947
01:48:02,200 --> 01:48:04,599
Speaker 4: we talked about last week. If they've lost six to seven,

1948
01:48:04,720 --> 01:48:08,240
Speaker 4: they're not playing good football. Nothing about them screams like

1949
01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:10,320
Speaker 4: They're gonna go to Miami and win this game and

1950
01:48:10,360 --> 01:48:14,240
Speaker 4: play really well. So I would certainly take Miami or nothing. Quinn,

1951
01:48:14,280 --> 01:48:16,400
Speaker 4: yours will not play as bad. There were some unlucky

1952
01:48:16,479 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 4: things happened last week, So I don't know how you

1953
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:20,960
Speaker 4: feel about this one, but that's that's why I look

1954
01:48:21,000 --> 01:48:21,200
Speaker 4: at it.

1955
01:48:22,880 --> 01:48:24,760
Speaker 3: Well, I think Tampa is gonna win the game.

1956
01:48:26,479 --> 01:48:31,040
Speaker 4: Probably, I agree, but I think the way they I mean,

1957
01:48:31,080 --> 01:48:32,680
Speaker 4: they need to beat the Falcons two weeks ago too.

1958
01:48:32,680 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 4: I mean, they need to do a lot of things.

1959
01:48:33,880 --> 01:48:35,599
Speaker 4: They just haven't done it in the last month the season,

1960
01:48:35,640 --> 01:48:38,760
Speaker 4: which is why I'm worried about them. Yeah, I get it.

1961
01:48:38,920 --> 01:48:43,880
Speaker 3: Well, and then uh and then next week is the rematch.

1962
01:48:44,960 --> 01:48:49,160
Speaker 4: So that's looking like Sunny night football by the way. Yeah,

1963
01:48:49,800 --> 01:48:51,639
Speaker 4: so they put a game on. They put a game

1964
01:48:51,680 --> 01:48:54,680
Speaker 4: on on Saturday nights now too, So do you think

1965
01:48:54,840 --> 01:48:57,439
Speaker 4: the Okay, I'm asking this question if the NFL had

1966
01:48:57,479 --> 01:49:04,160
Speaker 4: to choose Okayday Night the Sunday night game Niners Seahawks

1967
01:49:04,240 --> 01:49:06,720
Speaker 4: for the one seed, which is possible right if the

1968
01:49:06,720 --> 01:49:10,160
Speaker 4: Seahawks and Iers both win this weekend, or they putting

1969
01:49:10,200 --> 01:49:16,320
Speaker 4: on women get in Panthers bucks. I mean, I love

1970
01:49:16,400 --> 01:49:18,759
Speaker 4: the women get in, so do I and they always

1971
01:49:18,840 --> 01:49:22,280
Speaker 4: sort of like they've always sort of like that's always

1972
01:49:22,439 --> 01:49:25,719
Speaker 4: sort of been their default, right, the winning get in game. Yeah.

1973
01:49:25,840 --> 01:49:33,439
Speaker 3: So years ago it was like the Rams and the Seattle.

1974
01:49:32,960 --> 01:49:34,439
Speaker 4: Or yeah, and then they had to play at the

1975
01:49:34,479 --> 01:49:37,599
Speaker 4: one yard lines and the game yes, yes, yes, yeah,

1976
01:49:37,800 --> 01:49:39,760
Speaker 4: I love I love that too. I just I don't

1977
01:49:39,800 --> 01:49:42,800
Speaker 4: think the beginning of the year that the TV executives

1978
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:45,920
Speaker 4: would have pictured Bucks Panthers would be the Week eighteen

1979
01:49:45,960 --> 01:49:48,640
Speaker 4: game on Saturday Night. But I think I think you're right.

1980
01:49:49,400 --> 01:49:50,560
Speaker 3: I think it needs to be.

1981
01:49:51,200 --> 01:49:51,800
Speaker 5: I do.

1982
01:49:54,000 --> 01:49:56,720
Speaker 3: Gunn Thomas lived in a big Carolina fan.

1983
01:49:57,439 --> 01:50:01,920
Speaker 4: I know the NFL try is their best to get

1984
01:50:02,000 --> 01:50:04,400
Speaker 4: to Week eighteen where the games matter, and they're gonna

1985
01:50:04,400 --> 01:50:06,800
Speaker 4: have a zero game. I mean they're gonna have They're

1986
01:50:06,800 --> 01:50:11,080
Speaker 4: gonna end up having what the NFC South game matter

1987
01:50:11,920 --> 01:50:14,840
Speaker 4: And if the Niners win this weekend against Chicago, then

1988
01:50:14,880 --> 01:50:17,360
Speaker 4: the than the one seed will matter. But the Niners

1989
01:50:17,400 --> 01:50:22,320
Speaker 4: lose on Sunday, you essentially have well take that back.

1990
01:50:22,360 --> 01:50:24,759
Speaker 4: You can have the AFC West too. The Chargers win today,

1991
01:50:25,479 --> 01:50:28,920
Speaker 4: then next weekends for the AFC West as well, so

1992
01:50:29,000 --> 01:50:31,320
Speaker 4: you can have eight. So but again if the Texans win,

1993
01:50:32,120 --> 01:50:37,160
Speaker 4: the Packers win, and the Bears win. You have one

1994
01:50:37,240 --> 01:50:39,560
Speaker 4: game that matters next week and and that's the and

1995
01:50:39,840 --> 01:50:43,760
Speaker 4: that's it. Like that's like the worst case even even.

1996
01:50:44,360 --> 01:50:47,599
Speaker 3: Now, like these games don't me am Like Christmas Day

1997
01:50:47,800 --> 01:50:48,599
Speaker 3: was a waste.

1998
01:50:50,200 --> 01:50:52,719
Speaker 4: It really was like the lines were playing for something.

1999
01:50:52,800 --> 01:50:53,519
Speaker 4: But yes it was.

2000
01:50:53,880 --> 01:50:56,960
Speaker 3: I mean where they playing, they haven't real chance. They

2001
01:50:57,080 --> 01:50:59,000
Speaker 3: mean they were a dead team walking they.

2002
01:51:00,439 --> 01:51:01,800
Speaker 4: I don't agree with any of that. I'm just saying

2003
01:51:01,840 --> 01:51:02,680
Speaker 4: there was like it was an.

2004
01:51:02,680 --> 01:51:07,439
Speaker 2: Awful game to watch prosmer. I mean the only game

2005
01:51:07,520 --> 01:51:11,120
Speaker 2: that was decent to watch was Washing in Dallas. Like

2006
01:51:11,240 --> 01:51:12,479
Speaker 2: that was that was decent for.

2007
01:51:12,640 --> 01:51:13,960
Speaker 4: Both defensive stinks. Can they play?

2008
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:14,280
Speaker 3: Yeah?

2009
01:51:14,680 --> 01:51:19,920
Speaker 4: Right? Yeah. The game to watch this weekend though is

2010
01:51:21,240 --> 01:51:26,280
Speaker 4: Giants Raiders because this will determine the one seed in

2011
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:29,160
Speaker 4: the NFL. And we often talk about tanking, and I

2012
01:51:29,280 --> 01:51:31,280
Speaker 4: talk all the time about how tanking is not something

2013
01:51:31,320 --> 01:51:34,960
Speaker 4: that's done on Sunday, not done on game day. It's

2014
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:38,439
Speaker 4: done during the week by roster moves and both teams.

2015
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:42,200
Speaker 4: I've put everyone injured reserve this week to the point

2016
01:51:42,240 --> 01:51:45,400
Speaker 4: where Max Crosby is like opening openly questioning the Raiders'

2017
01:51:45,400 --> 01:51:48,040
Speaker 4: decision not to play him this week. I love this

2018
01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:51,320
Speaker 4: game so much, Anthony. I love that both teams are

2019
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:54,920
Speaker 4: just tanking in the best way possible, because then I think,

2020
01:51:55,080 --> 01:51:59,120
Speaker 4: I think on Sunday tomorrow, I ain't Pete Carroll's gonna

2021
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:01,519
Speaker 4: try to win this game. He's gonna ruin all the Raiders' plans.

2022
01:52:02,040 --> 01:52:05,800
Speaker 3: And yeah, I can see that. I could totally see that.

2023
01:52:07,360 --> 01:52:12,040
Speaker 3: I could see that. I don't. I love Max too, he.

2024
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:14,840
Speaker 4: Needs to be somewhere else. Yeah, I would, I would.

2025
01:52:14,880 --> 01:52:18,240
Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised how Rosman made some calls this offseason. Yeah,

2026
01:52:19,680 --> 01:52:20,920
Speaker 4: uh all right.

2027
01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:26,200
Speaker 2: Finally, speaking of Howie, Eagles and Bills as the Big

2028
01:52:26,400 --> 01:52:30,000
Speaker 2: four to twenty five game. Both teams are gonna play,

2029
01:52:30,680 --> 01:52:34,519
Speaker 2: so you'll see Hurts and Josh. It's gonna be fun.

2030
01:52:34,880 --> 01:52:36,120
Speaker 3: That's it. That's a good game.

2031
01:52:37,640 --> 01:52:43,639
Speaker 4: It's a good game. So here is Uh the Bills

2032
01:52:43,720 --> 01:52:46,680
Speaker 4: defense is really bad? Okay? Yeah, like they allowed the

2033
01:52:46,880 --> 01:52:50,040
Speaker 4: Browns allow everyone to score points. I think Eagle's gonna

2034
01:52:50,040 --> 01:52:53,599
Speaker 4: win this game. They're the best, they're the better well

2035
01:52:53,600 --> 01:52:56,880
Speaker 4: around the team. If their offense can operate like they

2036
01:52:56,920 --> 01:52:58,640
Speaker 4: should against this bad Bills team. Like if you give

2037
01:52:58,640 --> 01:53:02,280
Speaker 4: sakuon Barkley thirty five, You're probably gonna be okay. Lane

2038
01:53:02,360 --> 01:53:06,800
Speaker 4: Johnson is back, I believe right, Yeah, is Carter back yep,

2039
01:53:07,360 --> 01:53:09,840
Speaker 4: So everyone's back. I think Buffalo is gonna struggle to

2040
01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:11,759
Speaker 4: move the ball in this game. I think the Eagles

2041
01:53:11,800 --> 01:53:14,600
Speaker 4: defense will dictate the Yeah, because they're not going to

2042
01:53:14,640 --> 01:53:18,080
Speaker 4: be able to run like Cook's not. Like the Eagles

2043
01:53:18,160 --> 01:53:20,519
Speaker 4: defense is at ben but don't break on their fangio.

2044
01:53:21,960 --> 01:53:24,680
Speaker 4: I know that the anomaly was the Bears game on

2045
01:53:24,800 --> 01:53:27,840
Speaker 4: Black Friday, where they give up over tourny yards rushing.

2046
01:53:28,200 --> 01:53:32,679
Speaker 4: The usually doesn't happen. So I don't think Cook runs

2047
01:53:32,800 --> 01:53:36,120
Speaker 4: wild long and if they don't, that off to favors

2048
01:53:36,160 --> 01:53:38,439
Speaker 4: the the I think Eagles are the team. I think

2049
01:53:38,439 --> 01:53:39,639
Speaker 4: he goes go on the road to win this game.

2050
01:53:39,840 --> 01:53:40,040
Speaker 1: I do.

2051
01:53:41,400 --> 01:53:43,880
Speaker 2: That should be fun, it's good, it's it should be

2052
01:53:43,920 --> 01:53:46,120
Speaker 2: a good game. At least, here's a four to twenty five.

2053
01:53:46,200 --> 01:53:50,160
Speaker 2: We'll come back, We'll we'll wrap it up. Some more picks,
