20
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 1: out for you every single night. Well, here we are,

21
00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:08,840
Speaker 1: two minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and what

22
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,559
Speaker 1: we thought could be an embarrassing end for the Bills.

23
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 1: Is now just going to be an escape? Most likely?

24
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: The Bills have the ball first and ten, Josh Allen

25
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: finding Elijah Moore. Wow, remember where did he start? Yeah,

26
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:25,959
Speaker 1: Jets for a thirty yard game, a big first down.

27
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: They have the ball the Dolphins thirty five yard line.

28
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,920
Speaker 1: Dolphins have one time out left, so the Bills clinging

29
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: to a touchdown lead. The reason they are clinging this

30
00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: lead and looking to run the clock out is because

31
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Iloa just throws a ridiculously awful pass.

32
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,440
Speaker 1: With Miami in scoring position, he does not see Bernard,

33
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,960
Speaker 1: who jumps in front of who jumps the route, gets

34
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: a return nearly. You know, if he had beat one guy,

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:55,160
Speaker 1: we would have had that defensive touchdown that I gave

36
00:01:55,160 --> 00:01:58,560
Speaker 1: you on picks. I said, hey, my big prop pick

37
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,559
Speaker 1: for tonight's gonna be give me a defense of touchdown.

38
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: It was like plus twenty five hundred Bill's defensive touchdown.

39
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 1: He had one guy to beat and we would have

40
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 1: had that defensive touchdown. But he gets shoved out of bounds.

41
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:11,639
Speaker 1: Bill's have the football now. But man Tua, who had

42
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:13,880
Speaker 1: had a pretty nice game, you know, started out slow

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:15,799
Speaker 1: and somehow the you know, Miami was able to keep

44
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:19,280
Speaker 1: it close for most of the game. Uh Ta threw

45
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: a couple of touchdowns, but that pass was absolutely terrible. Again,

46
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: you have it's the middle of the field. You gotta

47
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: see that he was taking a step backwards throwing off

48
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:31,079
Speaker 1: his back foot. This is something that Tua does and

49
00:02:31,240 --> 00:02:33,080
Speaker 1: when you're throwing a middle field off your back foot,

50
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:35,840
Speaker 1: you get what you deserve. It's funny, you know, as

51
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 1: we were talking about the the baseball side of it,

52
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: and people feel free to chime in on that and

53
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:45,079
Speaker 1: the Randy Johnson Clayton Kershaw kind of discussion point at

54
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 1: how about a Fresco at swollen Dome at at Fox

55
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,160
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, Tua a lot of a lot of the ball.

56
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,920
Speaker 1: There's no zip, right, that's one like put it, put

57
00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,240
Speaker 1: it in Waald's gut, yeah, and let him let make

58
00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: a play. He doesn't.

59
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 3: But you add a little bit of that extra loft

60
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 3: to it, which was the defender to cut underneath it

61
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 3: and start coming back the other way. And we saw

62
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 3: that trying to push the ball to the outside a

63
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 3: couple of times. It's like, wow, that is it gonna

64
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,520
Speaker 3: get there? It's gonna okay, all right, fine, he got

65
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: the reception move on, and he made a bunch of

66
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: big throws right the couple of great throws to Tyreek Hill.

67
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 3: Earlier in the game, he got the touchdown to Waddle

68
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 3: before Ali Gordon started the scoring. Like, there's been pieces

69
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 3: to this game where I was like, all right, this

70
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: team's showing you some fight. Overall, three hundred and fifty

71
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: total yards of offense for the Bills to two fifty

72
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,400
Speaker 3: for the Dolphins over the course of this one. Bills

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,800
Speaker 3: haven't really been hitting the penalty game. But where the

74
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 3: Dolphins excelled and they played some field position. They had

75
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,840
Speaker 3: a couple of good returns that let them start an

76
00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 3: advantageous field position to make this thing a game. But

77
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:51,280
Speaker 3: now we're inside the final two minutes and no more stopping.

78
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: Of the clock. You know who was it that we

79
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 1: saw last week one of the Monday or Thursday games.

80
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 1: I forget which quarterback it was, but threw a big

81
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:02,040
Speaker 1: third down where getting rushed and off their back foot

82
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,240
Speaker 1: going backwards, but threw the ball into the flat to

83
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 1: the running back with such zip on it hit the

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,040
Speaker 1: running back and stride. It was a fifteen yard play

85
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 1: and we're talking about going that. That's how you make

86
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: a throw like that when you have when you it

87
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,359
Speaker 1: wasn't I think it was Week one. Who it was.

88
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 1: It might even been Caleb Williams. I mean maybe, well listen,

89
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: it was Monday or Thursday night, and one of those

90
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 1: might have been Caleb. But but that's how you can't

91
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,080
Speaker 1: make that throw to the middle of the field when

92
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,680
Speaker 1: when your arm is is not what it is, you know,

93
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,919
Speaker 1: it is not what an NFL quarterback, normal NFL quarterback is,

94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,359
Speaker 1: you know, going backwards and and kind of floating that

95
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: over the middle like that was. It's it's an easy

96
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,280
Speaker 1: ball to go get. And this is the and this

97
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: is Bernard knowing, Hey, I'm gonna sit back on this,

98
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 1: make him think he's got a guy. We're gonna pressure

99
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 1: him up the middle. He's not gonna see me like

100
00:04:54,200 --> 00:04:56,400
Speaker 1: the Bills are gonna walk out of this and go boy,

101
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:58,599
Speaker 1: we ran that one to perfection, right, We pressure him,

102
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: he thinks he has the receiver over the middle, and

103
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:03,360
Speaker 1: he does it. It's not even close. Like really, this

104
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: is this is the year when you went when you

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 1: you we talk about the Dolphins and the changes that

106
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,960
Speaker 1: are gonna happen after this year. Right, twenty seven seconds

107
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: left to go. Uh, the Bills are running out the clock.

108
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,960
Speaker 1: The Dolphins don't have any timeouts left. They're gonna fall

109
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,360
Speaker 1: to zero to three, where it's gonna be a big

110
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 1: start over for the Dolphins, right, like the Dolphins are

111
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,320
Speaker 1: gonna completely start over. McDaniel, he'll make it past this

112
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:26,480
Speaker 1: week because we said last night if they get blown out,

113
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:30,559
Speaker 1: you know, the the the the the results on Monday

114
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 1: or Thursday are always much bigger than it is one

115
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:38,039
Speaker 1: o'clock on a Sunday. Right, But the Dolphins played well tonight.

116
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: They were driving for the for the tying score and

117
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 1: that and you know, toa makes that throw. He's not

118
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:47,279
Speaker 1: as dynamic as he was. And in an offseason when

119
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,280
Speaker 1: clearly they they're gonna have it with Tyreek Hills act,

120
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: you know, he's gonna wind up getting dealt probably by

121
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:56,359
Speaker 1: the deadline. Mike McDaniel's gonna get replaced by by a

122
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:00,919
Speaker 1: new head coach sometime during this season. Tua is also

123
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: in his last year with the Dolphins, and mainly because

124
00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,839
Speaker 1: the Dolphins need to start over, and Tua has always

125
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 1: been a player that as good as he is, right,

126
00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:12,479
Speaker 1: and he's a good quarter But I've always liked Tua.

127
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,800
Speaker 1: He's shown you in the last few years where you

128
00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 1: worry about the injury issues, right, you worry about that,

129
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,400
Speaker 1: and you also worry is he that guy? Is he

130
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:22,919
Speaker 1: that good? Right? You paid him? But is he that

131
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: great of a quarterback? And clearly the system he is

132
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:30,120
Speaker 1: in now in Miami, eh, he shows it sometimes and

133
00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: sometimes he does it. Now, there's gonna be other teams

134
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:34,280
Speaker 1: that are gonna say, hey, we could do a hell

135
00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,040
Speaker 1: of a lot worse in free agency. We don't know

136
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:38,640
Speaker 1: about the draft. Yes, we have the system, right, because

137
00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: no matter how bad a starting quarterback is, what it is,

138
00:06:41,040 --> 00:06:42,800
Speaker 1: there's a system out there for you. Right, whether you're

139
00:06:42,839 --> 00:06:46,000
Speaker 1: Sam Darnold or Gino Smith or Baker Mayfield, doesn't matter.

140
00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 1: There's a system out there for you. And there's gonna

141
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:50,400
Speaker 1: be a coach at least one that says I can

142
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 1: make it work with ta Not only that I know

143
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,880
Speaker 1: how much we're paying in the next couple of years,

144
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,160
Speaker 1: not gonna have to worry about that. Hey, things will

145
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,680
Speaker 1: be great. Maybe we're not giving up as much we

146
00:06:57,720 --> 00:07:00,760
Speaker 1: absorb a contract. Whatever, it's gonna be, someone gonna say, hey,

147
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: I want Tua and the Dolphins are gonna make that

148
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: trade because it's gonna be a complete and total reset.

149
00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 1: And that's why the Dolphins are team number thirty two

150
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: in the NFL out of thirty two because they're the

151
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:14,800
Speaker 1: furthest away from a reset. Like the Jets are resetting

152
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:18,040
Speaker 1: this year. Right, Okay, they're not on on the hook.

153
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: They're not paying out big contracts. The guys are leaving

154
00:07:20,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 1: after this year. They're not worried about replacing people. In

155
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,280
Speaker 1: the same thing with the Browns. Right, they're waiting, they're tanking.

156
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: They got quarterbacks there that are just there for this year.

157
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: Like the Browns and the Jets have already started their reset, right,

158
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,280
Speaker 1: other teams, the Raiders have started their reset. The Dolphins

159
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,239
Speaker 1: have to get to the offseason reset and then start

160
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 1: next year. That's why they're team number thirty two because

161
00:07:39,080 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 1: they have the furthest to go for whatever they're gonna

162
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,680
Speaker 1: be after this season is done. And and two is

163
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:46,680
Speaker 1: the guy that you think he's gonna be, Well, you

164
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: build around to it. Now, a new guy coming in

165
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:50,800
Speaker 1: is not gonna say, yeah, I'm gonna hitch my fortunes

166
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:54,080
Speaker 1: to Tua. He just never has gotten the hug that

167
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: franchise quarterbacks get from teams that pay them like that.

168
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: Even Trevor Lawrence has a bigger hu hug from Jacksonville, right,

169
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,520
Speaker 1: And Trevor Lawrence has just been a guy. And now

170
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,760
Speaker 1: the Jaguars are figuring on, hey, if we just run football,

171
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: we're pretty good at it. So but he's never even

172
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: though he got paid, it's never been this is to

173
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: his team, this is his franchise. It's been well, you're

174
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:15,880
Speaker 1: kind of the guy for now and still getting paid

175
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:17,520
Speaker 1: that way. You feel like he's still on a year

176
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: to year lease with the Dolphins that leases up after that.

177
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 3: So I think a lot of it is you want

178
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 3: to give him the hug, but there you're one foot

179
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 3: out because of the fear of recurrence of the injuries

180
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:30,239
Speaker 3: that you've had where.

181
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,200
Speaker 1: He's been unavailable to you.

182
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,160
Speaker 3: So it became the latest in the quarterback he's next

183
00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: man up, and we like what he can do when

184
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 3: he's at his best. But when the timing and everything

185
00:08:41,200 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 3: is disrupted, obviously that goes to the wayside. Now what's

186
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 3: curious is you start doing the math, and this is

187
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,920
Speaker 3: where we get into the curiosity of dead cap money

188
00:08:50,960 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 3: et cetera, or getting someone to pick up the rest

189
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 3: of this four year, two hundred and twelve million dollars

190
00:08:55,920 --> 00:09:00,040
Speaker 3: deal for twenty twenty five, the dead cap one thirty seven.

191
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: For twenty twenty six seventy nine.

192
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 3: So you know you've got to have And this is

193
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 3: also where you get into a difficult proposition, is that

194
00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:13,520
Speaker 3: you now have several years proof of concept. Okay, at

195
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: his best, you can have some big, big games, but

196
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: do you get it consistently? Are you getting them for

197
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 3: a full seventeen Not that we're banking out a lot

198
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:23,720
Speaker 3: of these guys to get through there, but you already

199
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:29,000
Speaker 3: know the injury history and the potential for absolute chaos

200
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,880
Speaker 3: in that regard. So if you're not one hundred percent

201
00:09:30,920 --> 00:09:34,240
Speaker 3: on the front five guys, which most teams are not,

202
00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 3: we bang the drum on that perhaps more than anybody

203
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 3: that bringing into U is well reckless. And the other

204
00:09:43,960 --> 00:09:47,280
Speaker 3: side is if you're a new coach, which, let's face it,

205
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:49,640
Speaker 3: how many teams have any level of continuity. I think

206
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,199
Speaker 3: there's like five guys that have been been in their

207
00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:53,280
Speaker 3: jobs longer than.

208
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Twenty twenty one.

209
00:09:54,320 --> 00:09:57,800
Speaker 3: At this point, are you saying, yeah, I'm a new

210
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 3: coach go get me that guy. No, no, you want your

211
00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 3: own guy. And if you're a GM, you want your

212
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,200
Speaker 3: own guy. So I don't think you're taking on this contract.

213
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:09,960
Speaker 3: Think you're just when.

214
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,560
Speaker 1: It's when it's when it's just money you're talking about.

215
00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: Money can be had, Money can be figured out. We've

216
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: seen it right. No one's trading for Aaron Rodgers. Look

217
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,640
Speaker 1: at that contract while they figured it out, right, No

218
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,679
Speaker 1: one's trading for Russell Wilson. Look at that contract while

219
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 1: they figured it out. No, he's not gonna get released

220
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:23,839
Speaker 1: because you talk about that dead CP money. But they

221
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: can figure out the money. But it becomes the state.

222
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: But also for the new team, though, is this a

223
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,920
Speaker 1: guy you want to go make that bet on? With

224
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 1: so many other quarterbacks in the offing and the next

225
00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,200
Speaker 1: crop of guys, even if there's no wizard among them,

226
00:10:37,559 --> 00:10:40,839
Speaker 1: be it nuss Meyer or your guy arch Manning. Did

227
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 1: you get that tattoo removed?

228
00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,960
Speaker 3: Oh no, no, Now it's like, uh like he's thirty

229
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:47,240
Speaker 3: three to one now for that like on fire for

230
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:48,400
Speaker 3: nuss Meyer, right, like.

231
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: Oh that's good. Yeah, let's go see if you can

232
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: change that up now. But I mean it's it's the

233
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 1: Dolphins are gonna need to start and the new code

234
00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: coming in. Can you imagine, just think about this like

235
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: you have the new organization coming in and it's okay,

236
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:09,680
Speaker 1: we're gonna make it work with tua. Uh okay, yeah,

237
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:12,040
Speaker 1: we sure about that. Be sure about that, because you

238
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,720
Speaker 1: certainly do have the opportunity for a bit of a reset,

239
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: right Tyreek Hill, get rid of the stuff and the

240
00:11:18,040 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: off off field if that resolves itself, which it doesn't

241
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 1: sound like there's really much advancement there, but if you

242
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,559
Speaker 1: get past that, then you're looking at a sizeable contract.

243
00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 1: But plenty of teams that are in need of wide

244
00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:36,079
Speaker 1: receiver help, particularly his old team at least at the moment.

245
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 3: Now that may remedy itself here in the next couple

246
00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 3: of weeks as guys come back from injury and suspension.

247
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 3: But for now, let's put them in the mix for

248
00:11:43,559 --> 00:11:47,360
Speaker 3: your Kansas City Chiefs. You've got Devon h Chan. How

249
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 3: many teams need another running back or could use a

250
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 3: lead running back? And if Ollie Gordon's gonna show out

251
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 3: as he did a little bit here. He had nine

252
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 3: carries thirty eight yards, including the ability to run between

253
00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 3: the tackles in and around the goal line. Perhaps eight

254
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 3: chan becomes expendable. Now we're talking about draft picks. Now

255
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:07,480
Speaker 3: you can go get your Guynus Meyer.

256
00:12:09,480 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: Look, if if I thought for a second that it

257
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 1: would be impossible, I would just say, look, Dolphins are stuck, right,

258
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: Dolphins're stuck. But quarterbacks are at such a premium, and

259
00:12:19,520 --> 00:12:22,280
Speaker 1: there's teams that they know how miserable life is without it.

260
00:12:22,559 --> 00:12:24,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna fil like and that's the best part about

261
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:27,760
Speaker 1: about guys like Darnold and Gino Smith and Baker mayfil

262
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,200
Speaker 1: say Okay, hey, you could have really and look two

263
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 1: has had a better run the first part of his

264
00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: career than any of those guys. Right, but but you.

265
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:39,839
Speaker 3: Don't get the luxury of getting him on the cheap

266
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:43,080
Speaker 3: right as your reclamation project these guys.

267
00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: But there isn't out in his contract for twenty twenty seven,

268
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,040
Speaker 1: so potentially you're not giving up a lot. The Dolphins

269
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: are gonna say, listen, we'll eat a little bit of money.

270
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,439
Speaker 1: You can make them. You can figure that money out.

271
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,640
Speaker 1: It's a one year thing for Tua with another team.

272
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,840
Speaker 1: You're not giving up big stuff in the draft. Whatever

273
00:12:56,840 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 1: it is. Money, whyse the Dolphins just want to move

274
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:01,199
Speaker 1: on and start over. So it's it's more attractive for

275
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 1: a team to say, okay, hey we can we can

276
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: kind of do this, right, we can. We can kind

277
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:06,079
Speaker 1: of do this and go and see it and if it

278
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: doesn't work, if it works, great, right, we feel awesome.

279
00:13:08,559 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: If it doesn't work, it doesn't work, we move on.

280
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:12,520
Speaker 1: So it's so while it is a lot of money,

281
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,280
Speaker 1: it's it's more it's absolutely going to be a trade.

282
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: And because he has played well, you are gonna get

283
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 1: teams that are gonna say, hey, man, no, I'm up

284
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: for this. Man, let let's try it. I'm the big

285
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm the big guru. You know. I can see Sean

286
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,280
Speaker 1: McVay saying, no, no, no, I can make it with sorry,

287
00:13:29,120 --> 00:13:31,280
Speaker 1: said thanks, Matthew, I can make it work with two

288
00:13:31,280 --> 00:13:32,719
Speaker 1: A tongue of I lower right. We told you this.

289
00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: This will be the last year for Matthew Shawfford in

290
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:37,320
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. He's gonna go out just like his buddy.

291
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:40,559
Speaker 1: I can see Sean McVay saying, yeah, I can make

292
00:13:40,600 --> 00:13:43,319
Speaker 1: this work. Right. I could see Kevin O'Connell if if

293
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,920
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, JJ McCarthy is no good. He's

294
00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: heard again, Hey, I can make it work with Tua.

295
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,600
Speaker 1: You're gonna see the big quarterback gurus are gonna say, yeah,

296
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,800
Speaker 1: he could be he could be my project. Right, I

297
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 1: can get him back to being that four thousand yard passer.

298
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:58,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if he can't throw the ball more than

299
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:00,400
Speaker 1: twelve yards with any kind of zip on it. I

300
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:01,560
Speaker 1: can get them back to that, right.

301
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, three straight years with a quarterback grating over one hundred.

302
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:07,959
Speaker 3: You go back to twenty twenty three forty six hundred

303
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: yards twenty nine against fourteen. That was his only complete

304
00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:14,720
Speaker 3: season in the National Football League. Last year, completed seventy

305
00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 3: three percent of career best nineteen touchdowns, seven picks, twenty

306
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:22,160
Speaker 3: eight hundred yards, but only appeared in eleven games. So

307
00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:27,840
Speaker 3: there's there's the big question for him. Ten, thirteen, thirteen, seventeen, eleven,

308
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:32,520
Speaker 3: and now three to start your twenty twenty five campaign. So,

309
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:36,560
Speaker 3: as we said, the Bills kneel on the football. They

310
00:14:36,600 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 3: win this thirty one to twenty one. They actually kick

311
00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,800
Speaker 3: a field goal because they were forced to a fourth

312
00:14:41,800 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 3: and five with about twenty five seconds left, and then

313
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 3: you know, Sean McDermott decides, hey, let's go kick a

314
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,760
Speaker 3: field goal, Matt Prater everybody, so you get that, oh,

315
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 3: by the way field goal at the end. But the

316
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:53,680
Speaker 3: Bills were able to kill the vast majority of the

317
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:56,360
Speaker 3: clock with less than a minute left to go. Dolphins

318
00:14:56,400 --> 00:14:58,320
Speaker 3: could not do anything after they got it back. So

319
00:14:58,360 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 3: thirty one to twenty one is your fine? Not the

320
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,040
Speaker 3: ideal for the books in Vegas. That plus eleven plus

321
00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:08,880
Speaker 3: twelve plus thirteen a lot of money coming in on

322
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 3: the Dolphins plus the points tonight and TJ.

323
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: Now you see why Tua turn the ball over is

324
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: trending on tall. You know he didn't again. Let he

325
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 1: took this long turn the ball over. Come on to

326
00:15:21,640 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: a turna ball that's pretty good. Come on, man, now

327
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:26,680
Speaker 1: I want to turnover? Uh exit out about a Fresca exit? Swellen,

328
00:15:26,720 --> 00:15:30,680
Speaker 1: don't turnover. We'll have more on this game coming up next,

Speaker 1: we'll get to Clayton Kershaw coming up in a few minutes.

356
00:17:12,480 --> 00:17:15,720
Speaker 1: But I want to throw this by you. I have

357
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: a real deep think point about the Bills to make, right.

358
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,760
Speaker 1: I have a big deep think points thoughts with Jason spikemember.

359
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: Remember when the Simpsons when Krusty was talking about his

360
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,680
Speaker 1: history and they go back to like black and white

361
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: from him from the fifties. He's smoking the cigarette on

362
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,280
Speaker 1: stage and they're talking like, I have one of those

363
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: points to make about the Bills, right, Just think about

364
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,919
Speaker 1: it's kind of an inxception point to make with the

365
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:42,120
Speaker 1: coin spinning. So the Bills are three and oh right.

366
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: They beat the Dolphins thirty one twenty one. Didn't really

367
00:17:44,920 --> 00:17:46,920
Speaker 1: play great tonight, but they played well enough to win,

368
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 1: succeed and proceed. Didn't really play well against the Jets,

369
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:51,400
Speaker 1: but they played well enough to blow them out, which

370
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:53,960
Speaker 1: tells you how bad the Jets are. Didn't play well

371
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,160
Speaker 1: for the vast majority of the game against the Ravens,

372
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: but hey found a way to pull it out. Okay,

373
00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: so the first point is but this is where it

374
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: gets deeper. Are you going to sing you don't tug

375
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: on Superman's case. I fit no, no, no. I feel

376
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 1: like the Bills are three and oh and they've played

377
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: to a C level so far. Right, that's kind of

378
00:18:11,640 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: where like, the Bills are three and oh, but they've

379
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: played to a C level. Unless and this is where

380
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 1: I get deep think on you, unless this is the

381
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: new Bills A level. What we've seen so far is

382
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,880
Speaker 1: the new A level. The defense is gettable if your

383
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:29,919
Speaker 1: offense is good enough. Clearly the Jets and the Dolphins

384
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,480
Speaker 1: do not have good enough offenses. And offensively for the Bills,

385
00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:35,920
Speaker 1: they're a little bit more limited. They're a little bit

386
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 1: more run heavy with James Cook and why wouldn't you

387
00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:40,040
Speaker 1: be the guys were the best running backs in the NFL,

388
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:44,560
Speaker 1: a little bit more Josh Allen spreading the ball around.

389
00:18:44,920 --> 00:18:47,280
Speaker 1: You had Elijah Moore with a big reception, and late

390
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:49,320
Speaker 1: in the game you had good Yeah, you had Shakiir

391
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 1: with a couple of big receptions. Dalton and Kaid had

392
00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:54,320
Speaker 1: to touchdown a big catch like this may be the

393
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,359
Speaker 1: new A game for the Bills, where it's not as pretty,

394
00:18:57,720 --> 00:18:59,639
Speaker 1: it's not as up and down the field. It's not

395
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 1: him finding Stefan Diggs on third down and Digs walks

396
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 1: away with twelve catches for one hundred and forty six yards.

397
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 1: This may be the new Bills, a level which is

398
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: just not quite recognizable from the Bills we were used to. Right, Like,

399
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:17,000
Speaker 1: we're halfway through Josh Allen's career, right, We've seen the

400
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:18,720
Speaker 1: first half of the prime of his career. Now he's

401
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: getting into the back half of his career. Bigger quarterbacks,

402
00:19:20,720 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: they'll break down early. We've seen this. So in the

403
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 1: back half, the Bills have kind of reinvented themselves a

404
00:19:26,040 --> 00:19:28,240
Speaker 1: little bit. For the first few years of his career,

405
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,200
Speaker 1: it was Josh Allen designed runs and Stefan Digs pitch

406
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: and catch up and down the field. Okay, and that

407
00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: worked to an extent, but not good enough to get

408
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:39,520
Speaker 1: to a Super Bowl. Then guys start getting paid, guys

409
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: atart making more money. You realize you have to move on.

410
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:44,080
Speaker 1: They move on from Stefan Diggs, and now they draft

411
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: James Cook and now here are the Bills and it's

412
00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 1: a new era for them. It's Josh Allen still doing

413
00:19:49,480 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 1: his thing, but it's less design runs. It's more him

414
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: spreading the football around. It's a heavier running attack and

415
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: it's not quite as sexy. But this is how the

416
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:01,679
Speaker 1: Bills have adapted over the last couple of years to

417
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 1: segue from the beginning of the Josh Allen era, the

418
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:06,400
Speaker 1: first half of the Josh Allen era, to the second

419
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:08,680
Speaker 1: half of the Josh Allen era. Right, we talk about

420
00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 1: it with the Chiefs, where the first half of Patrick Mahomes'

421
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,760
Speaker 1: prime was up and down the field, all kinds of points.

422
00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 1: You can't doesn't matter what this offense is, you can't

423
00:20:17,880 --> 00:20:20,240
Speaker 1: stop it. If you get down fourteen nothing, that's it.

424
00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:22,359
Speaker 1: He's gonna throw to tyreek Hill, He's gonna throw to

425
00:20:22,359 --> 00:20:24,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey, doesn't matter. He's gonna throw the ball behind

426
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,720
Speaker 1: his back. He's gonna throw it Lefty. He's gonna throw it.

427
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,360
Speaker 1: You don't think he can do it. He's gonna throw

428
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 1: it off his back foot seventy yards downfield? Did Juju

429
00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:34,800
Speaker 1: Smith Schuster? Now it was. The last couple of years

430
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: was a little bit different, a little more game managing

431
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:40,160
Speaker 1: defense is better. We don't have to worry about going

432
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: up and down the field. We don't have that. We

433
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: also don't have the capabilities to it because we don't

434
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: have the wide receivers. For that, we don't have Tyreek

435
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,320
Speaker 1: Kill anymore. In the receivers we have are a bunch

436
00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:50,360
Speaker 1: of Jags. So Mahomes has to make it work as

437
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 1: best as he can. More game managing, not throwing the

438
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:55,440
Speaker 1: ball fifty yards down the field, but more hey, ten

439
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: twelve yards, a little bit more chunk yards. But the

440
00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: big downfield plays aren't quite there. Travis Kelsey slowing down

441
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:02,399
Speaker 1: as well, not gonna be able to hit him for

442
00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:04,280
Speaker 1: twelve catches a game like he had up until a

443
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,720
Speaker 1: couple of years ago. So now here's the new era

444
00:21:06,800 --> 00:21:10,280
Speaker 1: of Patrick Mahomes. And now, hey, we drafted James Worthy,

445
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: we drafted Jamee Point, he can dunk. They drafted Javier

446
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 1: work Game. Rashie Rice will come back eventually, and Hollywood Brown,

447
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: I know the Chief's still trying to get their wide

448
00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:19,639
Speaker 1: receivers on the field at once, which okay, they've not

449
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 1: been able to do it so far, but maybe you

450
00:21:21,680 --> 00:21:24,159
Speaker 1: get back to that level with the Chiefs. But you

451
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: definitely saw the change of the first half of Mahomes

452
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,880
Speaker 1: to the second half of Mahomes, And now the Chiefs

453
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: are kind of morphing out of that where the Bills

454
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: are in that spot of Okay, we went from the

455
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 1: first half of Josh Allen, Now here's the second half

456
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: of Look, Keon Coleman's a guy that a big week

457
00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:40,920
Speaker 1: won and has disappeared the last couple of weeks. Boy,

458
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: Keon Coleman, he was the right guy to get out

459
00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:45,120
Speaker 1: to Florida State. He's so good. Blah blah blah blah blah.

460
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: Now he's not. I don't even know more than a

461
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: pass in the last couple of weeks. But it's somebody different.

462
00:21:49,560 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: But this is Alan spreading the ball around and again

463
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: a little bit more game managing. But the Bills offense

464
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,440
Speaker 1: is still doing it. I don't know that it's a

465
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,080
Speaker 1: C game as more as this is more what the

466
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:02,760
Speaker 1: norm is for the Bills, and I'm gravitating towards that

467
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: now seeing where we're at now with three games of

468
00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 1: this new season to put to bed for Buffalo.

469
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, nine different receivers tonight for Josh Allen. We talk

470
00:22:12,920 --> 00:22:15,719
Speaker 3: a little bit about familiarity when you get down to it.

471
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 3: For their first three games, right, two division opponents and

472
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:22,480
Speaker 3: the Ravens, who they seem to battle at least once

473
00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 3: a year. Right, So we have some familiarity, which means

474
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 3: you're gonna have some change up in how those games flow. Obviously,

475
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 3: Week one was one of the more chaotic final few

476
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:36,840
Speaker 3: minutes we'll see in NFL history, let alone the twenty

477
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 3: twenty five campaign. But I think some of it also

478
00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:43,159
Speaker 3: is a switch up right. Defensively, you're missing at Oliver,

479
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 3: huge component you brought in Bosa. You're reshifting and reformulating

480
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 3: what McDermott's.

481
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:51,280
Speaker 1: Doing with the defense.

482
00:22:51,560 --> 00:22:55,200
Speaker 3: Curious to see that as the season rolls on, maybe

483
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,200
Speaker 3: the Bills are transitioning to a degree as well of

484
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:01,280
Speaker 3: what we used to expect from the New England Patriots.

485
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: September.

486
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,840
Speaker 3: You're gonna win games, but it ain't gonna be pretty

487
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,280
Speaker 3: because you're trying to figure out exactly what you are

488
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:10,240
Speaker 3: with James Cook. They paid him, so you better damn

489
00:23:10,240 --> 00:23:12,679
Speaker 3: well run him, right, which is what we saw with

490
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:14,760
Speaker 3: Josh Allen a couple of times where he could have

491
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,360
Speaker 3: taken the ball and taken off on the run.

492
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:17,879
Speaker 1: What did he do?

493
00:23:17,960 --> 00:23:20,520
Speaker 3: He did the little shovel passes. He had one that

494
00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 3: if he'd led, I think it might have actually been

495
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:27,280
Speaker 3: Cook leads him another step further and he can go

496
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,320
Speaker 3: get the ball. You would have had another big play.

497
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:33,200
Speaker 3: Instead it falls harmlessly in complete, but the improvisational skills

498
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 3: moving there, But that receiving corps trying to find who

499
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:40,880
Speaker 3: exactly is your trustworthy spot. You mentioned Elijah Moore coming

500
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:45,119
Speaker 3: over two catches thirty yards on three targets. A bunch

501
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 3: of that thirty yards was yack. Khalil Shakir had four

502
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,720
Speaker 3: catches forty five yards. The touchdown came out a beautiful

503
00:23:52,800 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 3: design where he went in motion across the line of scrimmage,

504
00:23:55,880 --> 00:23:57,960
Speaker 3: did a little all right now take you know, like

505
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 3: where they held the ball up in the drills, ball

506
00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,960
Speaker 3: drills like all right, now go backwards, all right, forward

507
00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 3: backward kind of thing. So he goes back behind al

508
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 3: and goes back in motion the other way, and now

509
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,640
Speaker 3: he's coming like a house of fire, catches the ball

510
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 3: and stride and sprints to the end zone. So design, uh,

511
00:24:13,080 --> 00:24:15,479
Speaker 3: the play design will be a little bit different. So

512
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:18,280
Speaker 3: I'll hold reservation that we're not going to get any

513
00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:20,440
Speaker 3: real semblance of what they are the next couple of

514
00:24:20,440 --> 00:24:24,400
Speaker 3: weeks because the schedule, the schedule is not great. It's

515
00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:26,760
Speaker 3: pretty soft. The next couple you know, it's pretty soft.

516
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 3: The rest of the season. You take a look out there,

517
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 3: it's not like they have a lot of world.

518
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:32,920
Speaker 1: Beaters on their schedule, right like, like, hey, you like

519
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 1: you look at Notre Dame schedule, It's like they don't really,

520
00:24:35,760 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 1: I mean they're owing to to they don't have a

521
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: lot of teams on the rest of their schedule that

522
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 1: are really good. Look out for USC now man.

523
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 3: But now like things have flipped so much in the

524
00:24:45,359 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 3: AFC in the last few weeks and it kind of

525
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:50,080
Speaker 3: feels like the Bills just have a red carpet to

526
00:24:50,119 --> 00:24:52,240
Speaker 3: home field advantage all the way through the playoffs. I

527
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,920
Speaker 3: already thought they did division wise, O the red carpet

528
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 3: in that division for you, I mean high on the

529
00:24:59,560 --> 00:25:02,360
Speaker 3: on the t They've been doing interviews with everybody with

530
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:05,000
Speaker 3: with with with with from the last few years ago,

531
00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:08,480
Speaker 3: from from uh uh Steve Comet, go to Joan Rivers

532
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,160
Speaker 3: to Melissa Rivers Comet and now it's they're just continuing

533
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:13,399
Speaker 3: to roll on with that. We've been on the red

534
00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:15,639
Speaker 3: carpet of the AFC East for better part of the

535
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Speaker 3: decade plus let's way pulling through to put it in

536
00:25:19,040 --> 00:25:21,880
Speaker 3: the timeframe. Maybe Joan Rivers has not been with us

537
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:23,239
Speaker 3: for a while.

538
00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 1: Okay, but I wanted to guy like Joan Rivers.

539
00:25:24,640 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 3: But I'm just saying they kind of put it in

540
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:27,480
Speaker 3: the time continue.

541
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,919
Speaker 1: Now it's Seacrest and everybody, Oh yeah, great, all right?

542
00:25:31,520 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: Have they cloned him? Maybe?

543
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 3: Between him and Mario Lopez at they own eighty percent

544
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 3: of the jobs.

545
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: And he's doing a new show, right They just they

546
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:41,159
Speaker 1: just said mary A Lopez is going to host some

547
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 1: new another big show. Yeah yeah, okay, And now he's

548
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:46,040
Speaker 1: got his kids running amok like it's going into this

549
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: whole other thing. Okay, good for him, uh eating former

550
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: guests of the show.

551
00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 3: He came on to talk boxing, that's right during our

552
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: formative years as well as some saved by the Bell

553
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,760
Speaker 3: of course. But for Josh Allen and the Bills, like,

554
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:00,639
Speaker 3: it's kind of like we watched the Dodgers, right, We

555
00:26:00,680 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 3: watched them every night, and we celebrate one hundred and

556
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:07,600
Speaker 3: sixty two, particularly Kershaw Day. We did celebrating Kershaw Day forever.

557
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 3: But what does it all matter? Ye until October first

558
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,160
Speaker 3: one is it matter? But I think the Bills were

559
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 3: in that same function. However you get there, It's like

560
00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 3: the Chiefs, however you get there.

561
00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:18,640
Speaker 1: I don't care.

562
00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 3: What do you got when it comes down to it,

563
00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:23,879
Speaker 3: Like with Patrick Mahomes, just to tie the bow on that,

564
00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:27,439
Speaker 3: like he's had a handful of opportunities. Kelsey's already betrayed

565
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:31,200
Speaker 3: him twice back to back weeks. Oh got it pretty badly.

566
00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:33,040
Speaker 3: And that's what I said for Kelsey to start yelling

567
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 3: at his teammates and then drop a big pass that

568
00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,800
Speaker 3: cost him the game, Like to stop yelling at me, man,

569
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:40,640
Speaker 3: Maybe less podcasts and a little more catching the foot.

570
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,560
Speaker 1: He had that one week one where it's like, oh no,

571
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:43,600
Speaker 1: he led him.

572
00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:45,200
Speaker 3: Too much, Like no, no, no, that was a half

573
00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:47,879
Speaker 3: passed route across the face of the KD at the

574
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 3: two yard line.

575
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,720
Speaker 1: Last conversation a little more, don't have the ball top

576
00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:53,240
Speaker 1: off your hands to go to the defender who picks

577
00:26:53,280 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 1: it off and wins the game.

578
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,560
Speaker 3: Exactly anyway to the point, Mahomes has had a couple

579
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 3: of big shots downfield, but he doesn't have the timing

580
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:02,440
Speaker 3: with these guys like he once had where Tyreek Hill

581
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,560
Speaker 3: was going to go track it. Funny how that became

582
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: one of the conversation points with two Week one and

583
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:10,119
Speaker 3: Week two either way for the Bills feeling pretty good.

584
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,080
Speaker 1: This could be the new Bill I'd be really I

585
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,600
Speaker 1: feel like this is just the new version of the Bills,

586
00:27:14,600 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: where they're just not as sexy as they used to

587
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,880
Speaker 1: be and we just have to get used to it,

588
00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:20,720
Speaker 1: like so they can stay. Look, this is how good

589
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,080
Speaker 1: they can win any kind of game obviously. Look you

590
00:27:23,080 --> 00:27:25,159
Speaker 1: saw them win a shootout Week one with the Ravens. Right,

591
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,399
Speaker 1: They're able to have a game on Sunday against an

592
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: overmatch opponent the Jets, and go, listen, we just we can.

593
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:31,679
Speaker 1: We only have to run like four or five plays

594
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,399
Speaker 1: like Boone ran and remember the Titans, Like four or

595
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 1: five plays enough to beat the Jets. And there we

596
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,880
Speaker 1: show up on a Thursday night and the Dolphins keep

597
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: it closer short week, but we find a way to win.

598
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 1: We make the big defensive play at the end, Like

599
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,840
Speaker 1: this may be just who the new Bills are now,

600
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,040
Speaker 1: Not nearly like they still put up thirty one points,

601
00:27:48,080 --> 00:27:51,199
Speaker 1: not nearly as unbeatable as they were, but still the

602
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:54,119
Speaker 1: big They're still a big, overwhelming favorite team. They just

603
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 1: don't look like they used.

604
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,080
Speaker 3: To forty one, thirty and thirty one points, and it's

605
00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 3: like you just don't anymore.

606
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 1: Yeah, but what can you do exit out about a

607
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,919
Speaker 1: Fresca exit swollen dome. Jason Smith Mike Harmon live from

Speaker 1: baseball story of the day, the big pitching story that

612
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:19,640
Speaker 1: you could kind of see coming but still a shock

613
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:24,120
Speaker 1: to hear. Jonah Toong five beginnings as the Mets win

Speaker 1: Burn it Down, Let's go.

695
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:09,479
Speaker 7: Elmo been on the dream to get out of this series,

696
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:11,600
Speaker 7: lost a lot of money.

697
00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 1: Almost taking up a spot in the Old Grouch.

698
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 7: Is Elmo's gonna have to borrow money from Rosina and

699
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,920
Speaker 7: Oscar to pay this off? Does mister Oscar the Grouch

700
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:25,120
Speaker 7: have any money that someone threw in his can?

701
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: Do you think they were ever running book out of

702
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: the bodega?

703
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 7: Oh?

704
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:29,719
Speaker 1: Grover is absolutely.

705
00:32:30,080 --> 00:32:33,760
Speaker 3: I mean, like you know, mister Hooper was up front

706
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,520
Speaker 3: and then no, but I think Grover is the brains behind.

707
00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,680
Speaker 3: Like Grover, He's definitely someone that a he seems like

708
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: a really good dude. But behind that, I could see

709
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:43,560
Speaker 3: Grover having a dark side.

710
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: Man. I could see that. Absolutely.

711
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:47,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can say, Grover, can we do an extension

712
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 3: like I showed you the Jimmy Cricket as voiced by

713
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:50,600
Speaker 3: Robert England?

714
00:32:50,840 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: Can we get an extension in that whole world with

715
00:32:53,280 --> 00:33:00,320
Speaker 1: a Glover Gone Wrong Grover show on Fox? Right? But

716
00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,640
Speaker 1: we got that over going wrong? I mean, look, it

717
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,560
Speaker 1: can transition it Bore smoking a cigarette walking through the

718
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,320
Speaker 1: alley at set Sweet Street, but.

719
00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:09,320
Speaker 3: He goes down and then he then he's out on

720
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:11,560
Speaker 3: these streets. Yeah, but then he's down on his luck.

721
00:33:11,600 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 3: He goes for some scientific experimentation, the sequel Super Grover.

722
00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: So come on, let's go Exit up out of Fransca,

Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football coming up in about ten minutes. But look,

737
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: the big bombshell dropped today. Not that it was surprising,

738
00:33:59,840 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 1: but still to hear Clayton Kershaw calling it a career

739
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: in Major League Baseball after eighteen years. Following the end

740
00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: of this season, you had a news conference. You'll hear

741
00:34:10,360 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: some of that coming up next hour on the show,

742
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 1: and it's it's a farewell to the best left handed

743
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:18,280
Speaker 1: pitcher that I've ever seen, gonna make his final start

744
00:34:18,360 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: for the Dodgers in Dodger Stadium. That we think tomorrow night,

745
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,239
Speaker 1: maybe you'll have one more turn through the rotation before

746
00:34:24,280 --> 00:34:27,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, it will be Away, maybe not. I'm sure

747
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:29,200
Speaker 1: we will see him pitch in the playoffs. He's pitched

748
00:34:29,200 --> 00:34:31,040
Speaker 1: well enough this season to be on the roster, but

749
00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:32,920
Speaker 1: when he pitches after that, we don't know.

750
00:34:33,080 --> 00:34:36,399
Speaker 3: Ten and two, three, five, three era. He's been fantastic

751
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 3: in spots. But we talked about it the other night.

752
00:34:39,760 --> 00:34:43,560
Speaker 3: Starting relieving, what Dave robertson the brain trust of the

753
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,719
Speaker 3: Dodgers do from here. Yeah, you got snell Yamamoto and

754
00:34:46,760 --> 00:34:47,759
Speaker 3: a bunch of question marks.

755
00:34:47,840 --> 00:34:50,319
Speaker 1: Right, Everything is out the window after the first two

756
00:34:50,360 --> 00:34:51,879
Speaker 1: games of the playoffs, So you don't know where you're

757
00:34:51,880 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 1: gonna be, what kind of bullpen you've run, Maybe Kershaw

758
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 1: piggybacks with another pitcher. Like I'm telling you, piggybacking is

759
00:34:57,800 --> 00:35:00,040
Speaker 1: gonna be the big forget about bullpen games outre go

760
00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,560
Speaker 1: to see piggybacking. Right, the Mets is starting to do that,

761
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: and they're just holding on a wild card spy. You're

762
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,439
Speaker 1: gonna start seeing where it's two starters splitting a game

763
00:35:07,560 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: rather than a bullpen game. Right, You're gonna see that

764
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: a lot. But obviously Kershaw first ballot, Hall of Fame

765
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:17,080
Speaker 1: or everything. But a big part of his legacy is

766
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: playoff Kershaw, which wasn't nearly what he was during the

767
00:35:21,360 --> 00:35:24,640
Speaker 1: regular season. But it's not like he was absolutely terrible.

768
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:29,320
Speaker 1: He just wasn't what you thought a guy like Clayton

769
00:35:29,400 --> 00:35:32,680
Speaker 1: Kershaw would be in the playoffs, right, You thought, well,

770
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:34,319
Speaker 1: he's gonna be his lights out in the playoffs as

771
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:36,480
Speaker 1: he is during the regular season, and that wasn't the case.

772
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:40,080
Speaker 1: He had a five hundred record for his career. His

773
00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:44,120
Speaker 1: era in different playoff years would bounce around. Sometimes the

774
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,799
Speaker 1: EU was two and a half, sometimes it was five

775
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:48,080
Speaker 1: and a half, right, But overall for his playoff his

776
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:50,200
Speaker 1: playoff run, his ERA sat in the four and a

777
00:35:50,280 --> 00:35:51,040
Speaker 1: half range.

778
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 3: It's two runs higher than his regular season. Yeah, it's

779
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:01,359
Speaker 3: it's it's not great. It's not great, backhead, but again,

780
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,759
Speaker 3: it's not like he's been absolutely terrible all the time.

781
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,919
Speaker 3: It's been boy, he's not been lights out, and there's

782
00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 3: been winner go home games in the playoffs where Kershaw

783
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:12,480
Speaker 3: was not great. And it makes you the question, oh

784
00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:14,759
Speaker 3: my goodness, oh Kershaw, kersher look at this, look at this.

785
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,120
Speaker 1: But I got a bit of a hot take for you.

786
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,160
Speaker 1: I Kershaw's playoff performance, right, everybody wanted Kershaw to be better.

787
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: I ask you this. Okay, go back to I'm not

788
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: saying go back, go back to during the era of

789
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,520
Speaker 1: Clayton Kershaw, right the last eighteen Go back to the

790
00:36:28,520 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 1: mid two thousand and five. Name me one starting pitcher

791
00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:37,520
Speaker 1: that was lights out his career in the postseason. And

792
00:36:37,560 --> 00:36:40,239
Speaker 1: you can't say Madison Bumgardner because he's the only one.

793
00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,040
Speaker 1: Give me another guy.

794
00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,960
Speaker 3: During this run, during this run, yeah, because that would

795
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:47,360
Speaker 3: have been after Shilling.

796
00:36:47,360 --> 00:36:50,799
Speaker 1: Right in the two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine,

797
00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:56,160
Speaker 1: twenty ten into there's not And and that's really where

798
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,440
Speaker 1: you have to understand. This is a new era of

799
00:36:58,480 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 1: Major League baseball where you don't get that there's no Hey,

800
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,920
Speaker 1: we're trotting this guy out there and he's gonna go

801
00:37:03,960 --> 00:37:05,759
Speaker 1: seven innings. That's a bygone era.

802
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 4: Now.

803
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean that I'd like to see Kershaw pitch

804
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: a little bit better in the playoffs. But it's not

805
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,959
Speaker 1: like he's completely off the reservation with it, right because

806
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:16,560
Speaker 1: Randy Johnson his career in the playoffs, Oh, Randy Johnson,

807
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:20,080
Speaker 1: he was under five hundred. His era was almost four. Right,

808
00:37:20,120 --> 00:37:22,520
Speaker 1: that's Randy Johnson in the playoffs, right like that, that's

809
00:37:22,600 --> 00:37:25,040
Speaker 1: kind of that's kind of what you see. So the

810
00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 1: whole situation with Kershaw is that, yeah, you would have

811
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: liked him to be better, but it's not like he

812
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:32,760
Speaker 1: was so far out of line that, oh, it should

813
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 1: ding his career because Kershaw was still good enough and

814
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 1: had big performances in the playoffs. But nobody and and

815
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,120
Speaker 1: bum Garner is the one guy, right, bum Garner's the

816
00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,080
Speaker 1: one guy that, Wow, he found a way to step

817
00:37:44,160 --> 00:37:47,560
Speaker 1: up in the playoffs and go absolutely bananas and single

818
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,360
Speaker 1: handedly dragged the Giants to a victory. Right like that

819
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 1: was a really big that's really big. He's the But

820
00:37:52,640 --> 00:37:55,120
Speaker 1: he's the only one nobody else like can point to

821
00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: and go, you put him out there, it's gonna be

822
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,320
Speaker 1: a win. That era is gone now in the of

823
00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,080
Speaker 1: the of Roger Clemens and the guys in the nineties

824
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:06,520
Speaker 1: and John Smoltz and Tom Glavin and Greg Mattis. Yeah,

825
00:38:06,560 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 1: you see guys with those kinds of records because that

826
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:11,480
Speaker 1: was when, Yeah, these guys came into the playoffs and

827
00:38:11,520 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 1: pitch seven eight innings are pitch complete game, right, But

828
00:38:13,719 --> 00:38:16,200
Speaker 1: that's not baseball now. So if you want to judge

829
00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:19,200
Speaker 1: him fairly over the course the last fifteen eighteen years, yeah,

830
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:22,319
Speaker 1: bum Garner is a better postseason pitcher. I'm not arguing that.

831
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,320
Speaker 1: But Kershaw was much bad, had a much better career

832
00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,600
Speaker 1: all the way through, right with everything he's been able

833
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,160
Speaker 1: to do. So when you when you break it down

834
00:38:30,160 --> 00:38:34,360
Speaker 1: that way, really the the breakdown of his postseason career

835
00:38:34,440 --> 00:38:36,799
Speaker 1: is really over it and it's almost not fair at

836
00:38:36,800 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: times because you're holding him to a higher standard, but

837
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,759
Speaker 1: you're not holding the other guys to the higher tam

838
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:43,720
Speaker 1: But where are the other There are other great pitchers,

839
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,120
Speaker 1: There are the great, great, great pitch. We're not holding

840
00:38:46,239 --> 00:38:50,279
Speaker 1: Justin Verlander that stands actually Scherzer to that standard, right,

841
00:38:50,320 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 1: We're not. But these guys are all great pitchers too.

842
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:56,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, Verlanders seventeen and twelve in his career in the postseason,

843
00:38:56,520 --> 00:39:01,040
Speaker 3: we go to Johnson with some great and heroic efforts

844
00:39:01,440 --> 00:39:03,920
Speaker 3: for Kershai. It always seemed to me, and I'd have

845
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:05,960
Speaker 3: to go back game to game that it was always

846
00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:07,920
Speaker 3: all right, he did really well for four and a

847
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,399
Speaker 3: third or five and a third, and then it would

848
00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:13,600
Speaker 3: always fall apart, whereas in today's day Dave Roberts would

849
00:39:13,600 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 3: never let him get to that point. Yeah, no matter

850
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:18,920
Speaker 3: who he was, so you would have always avoided the

851
00:39:19,360 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 3: meltdown of that final inning. The other thing is, I'll

852
00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,680
Speaker 3: just take it to let's grab football, since we're on

853
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:29,479
Speaker 3: a football Thursday night as we sit here, how many

854
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,840
Speaker 3: guys really excelled in the grand scale in the playoffs?

855
00:39:33,040 --> 00:39:33,359
Speaker 1: All right?

856
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:37,120
Speaker 3: We look at Breeze, we look at Manning and go

857
00:39:37,239 --> 00:39:40,640
Speaker 3: on down the line. You had runs obviously to their

858
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 3: Super Bowl wins, but then you had a lot of

859
00:39:43,080 --> 00:39:46,000
Speaker 3: one and done's. You had a lot of subpar games

860
00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:50,400
Speaker 3: where they didn't finish the job. And again it gets

861
00:39:50,440 --> 00:39:53,600
Speaker 3: brought up in a larger context, but doesn't become a

862
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: defining issue like Kershaw and the postseason done like guy's

863
00:39:57,840 --> 00:40:02,000
Speaker 3: got a couple of World Series rings on the mound,

864
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:05,319
Speaker 3: one as part of the squad, and an eighteen year

865
00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,520
Speaker 3: career with a lot of big time starts that he

866
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:11,320
Speaker 3: always was there to take the ball, so it's awful

867
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 3: difficult to detigrate's what he was able to do or

868
00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:17,799
Speaker 3: try to push that aside when you rack him up

869
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:19,920
Speaker 3: against the other guys of the last twenty years.

870
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 1: Exit, how about a Fresco exit? Swelling down the Jason

871
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. A lot

872
00:40:25,480 --> 00:40:27,880
Speaker 1: more baseball on the way, but coming up next we

873
00:40:27,960 --> 00:40:30,120
Speaker 1: get back into what big Thursday night win for the

874
00:40:30,160 --> 00:40:33,799
Speaker 1: Bills over the Dolphins. You'll hear from Tua. What did

875
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 1: he have to say about his interception? Oh boy, that's next.

876
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:37,360
Speaker 1: Fox
