Speaker 3: were talking about the runners on the shirt.

93
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:34,800
Speaker 1: I'm gonna look mellenated the Brown Brothers for they're melandated

Speaker 1: We're gonna have the entire crew at the same time,

99
00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: maybe like the literal start of the football week. We'll

100
00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:52,160
Speaker 1: all be here at the same time. All right, We

101
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 1: got some again, some football to get to him. Excited

102
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: to do that. Ryan is gonna get a set on

103
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: what has been happening with young Caleb Williams.

104
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 3: That's right.

105
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 5: Caleb Williams had a very strong performance in his preseason

106
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: debut on Sunday, went six of ten passing for one

107
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: hundred and seven yards in a touchdown. PFF had his

108
00:04:10,200 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 5: great at eighty eight point nine. Ben Johnson had a

109
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 5: couple of really nice things to say for him after

110
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 5: the game. This is what Ben Johnson had to say.

111
00:04:17,839 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 6: Caleb made a couple big time throws in my opinion,

112
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:24,479
Speaker 6: to keep that drive going, and some explosive plays there,

113
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:25,960
Speaker 6: and so it was good.

114
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 2: It was good to see. I thought, really the.

115
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,600
Speaker 6: Three days of practice we had this week and this

116
00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 6: game were the most he stacked up good days in

117
00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,359
Speaker 6: a row right now, and so the challenges can be

118
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 6: to keep pushing in that direction, all right.

119
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:43,800
Speaker 1: So here's my thing. We talked about this, Carrie. I

120
00:04:43,839 --> 00:04:45,640
Speaker 1: feel like I've even had some Caleb conversations with you

121
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Sure, yeah, yeah, So

122
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:52,479
Speaker 1: here's my thing. When you go to a really really

123
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: good school, right, and let's say at high school, really

124
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:57,479
Speaker 1: top notch high school. I went to a top five

125
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:00,960
Speaker 1: public school when I was back in my day, and

126
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:02,320
Speaker 1: it was with all I knew, right, It's all I

127
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 1: knew is all. That's where I'm from from ann Arbor.

128
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: It just grew up. Okay, what's the big deal? Was

129
00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:12,520
Speaker 1: not a great student? Shut up? Was an average student

130
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,040
Speaker 1: there as far as the work side of it.

131
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 3: But the actual brightness, the intelligence you have it.

132
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: I say this to say, while I was there and

133
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: you know, having fun, hanging out, prolready doing all that

134
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: and just you know, burd you know, making it by

135
00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: what I learned as I started to move to other cities,

136
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:33,840
Speaker 1: was that time five education that I was receiving and

137
00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: just me being you know, average whatever put me well

138
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:39,960
Speaker 1: above so many other people. Once I started being around

139
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: kids who went to some of the you know, rougher

140
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: schools and other areas outside of Flynn, outside of Detroit,

141
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,840
Speaker 1: and it was like, Oh wow, me just being around

142
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:51,120
Speaker 1: that type of education rubbed off. I say that to

143
00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: say Caleb Williams is benefiting from being around Ben Johnson.

144
00:05:56,600 --> 00:06:00,040
Speaker 1: Being around Ben Johnson, who is going to expose the

145
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: things that we knew his weaknesses were, but challenge him

146
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: to get better. Has an offense that is the reliance

147
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,400
Speaker 1: upon him being better in order for this thing to work.

148
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: And you have a guy for his entire tenure with

149
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions was a top five offense, number one

150
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: last year, so he knows what he's doing. And so

151
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:21,480
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna get the best version of Caleb Williams.

152
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 1: It's going to take time, because again, Caleb has been

153
00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: able to benefit from being just gifted, being better, being faster,

154
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: more athletic, and all of that throughout middle school, high school,

155
00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,160
Speaker 1: into college where he was running around You're getting it

156
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: done and winning Heisman's and you know, having success in

157
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: that regard individually, not necessarily team. And I think all

158
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: of this is him benefiting from the curriculum of Ben Johnson,

159
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,839
Speaker 1: from the curriculum of holding you to a standard, to

160
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:53,279
Speaker 1: a curriculum of get off the team, first teamers, get

161
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: off the field. We this won't be acceptable. I'm burning timeouts.

162
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 1: You guys are taking for ever to get out the huddle, right,

163
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: And I think the expectations are going to be high

164
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 1: for him with specifically Ben Johnson, but he's going to

165
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,479
Speaker 1: be able to extract the best of him and like

166
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:11,160
Speaker 1: I said, he's going to learn so much from that

167
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 1: university of Ben Johnson that he'll go to another school,

168
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:17,200
Speaker 1: you know, and realize like wow, me being here has

169
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,040
Speaker 1: benefited and elevated my game so much. But I still

170
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,440
Speaker 1: think it's gonna take time. I still have still my concerns.

171
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:24,560
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the first thing you said is the

172
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:30,120
Speaker 4: most I guess positive thing for Caleb Williams. Ben Johnson

173
00:07:30,200 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 4: is an a type like a type, a type of person, right,

174
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 4: so the attention to details matter.

175
00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 3: You talked about it. Caleb has been gifted.

176
00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:40,760
Speaker 4: He's been one of the best players, I'm sure since

177
00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 4: since he started playing right and so it's come easy

178
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:43,760
Speaker 4: to him.

179
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:45,080
Speaker 3: When you get to the NFL.

180
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,320
Speaker 4: It may seem easy in preseason, it may seem easy

181
00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,280
Speaker 4: in practice sometimes because you know it just happens that

182
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 4: way sometimes. But when those live bullets started flying and

183
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 4: you see other people out there, trying to eat and

184
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:59,520
Speaker 4: make money for their families. It's a different game, and

185
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 4: so or Caleb Williams. And I think for all the

186
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 4: detractors or even people on his side, calm down. This

187
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 4: is year two for this quarterback. And even with the

188
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 4: supposedly down year that he had last year, if you

189
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,200
Speaker 4: look at his numbers for a rookie, you'll think it's

190
00:08:16,200 --> 00:08:19,280
Speaker 4: pretty impressive. And so obviously when you come with the

191
00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:23,640
Speaker 4: generational talent titles and you know, people saying that you're

192
00:08:23,640 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: the best prospect since whatever, like those expectations is going

193
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,800
Speaker 4: to be high and unrealistic anyway. I mean, you look

194
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 4: at Peyton Manning when he came in, right, he had

195
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: all the tuols, he had the pedigree. Year one he

196
00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:37,160
Speaker 4: was trash. Cayleb Williams year one was better than Peyton Manning.

197
00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 4: So calm down. What you're saying, He's gonna have a

198
00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 4: better career than Peyton Manning.

199
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 3: I know, yes.

200
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 4: Parker did not say that, Rob, But what I'm saying

201
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:51,320
Speaker 4: is the fact that people want to the Other thing

202
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 4: about all of this which really makes me upset, to

203
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: be honest, is the coverage.

204
00:08:56,559 --> 00:08:58,360
Speaker 3: I think we have too much coverage.

205
00:08:58,400 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: I know, we're in the business of coverage, but I

206
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 4: think there are some people, there are some people that

207
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 4: should not be covering, Like we don't need to know

208
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:08,080
Speaker 4: that his teammates didn't step up for him when he

209
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,319
Speaker 4: got bumped, and like some of that information needs to

210
00:09:11,360 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 4: be handled within. And so the fact that we're getting

211
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 4: so much information and we're you know, we're really like

212
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,280
Speaker 4: lining this thing up day by day. You had a

213
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 4: good day day one, day two, he's in training camp.

214
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 4: You're supposed to struggle. The coach is gonna put you

215
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 4: in situations where you have to figure it out. And

216
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 4: if he hasn't figured it out yet, it's gonna be

217
00:09:29,320 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 4: a problem.

218
00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 3: You know.

219
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 4: First of all, let me let me tell you what's

220
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 4: driving me crazy right now. You just brought that up

221
00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:35,200
Speaker 4: social media.

222
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:36,920
Speaker 1: Let me let me just I want to slap everybody

223
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: here's but specifically, why remember the good old days when

224
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: Sports Center would post something on a on a page

225
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 1: or put something out there. It would actually be something

226
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 1: about basketball, football, baseball, a sport we all enjoy. Yes,

227
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: remember it be an incredible highlight. Now they'll just posts

228
00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:00,559
Speaker 1: a random kid shooting his uh, his boxes cereal and

229
00:10:00,640 --> 00:10:03,320
Speaker 1: a cart in a Walmart Top ten.

230
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: What what is going on? That's what I'm telling you.

231
00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: Yo.

232
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:11,240
Speaker 3: The standards, Yo, Yo, the standards. We gotta relax.

233
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:13,880
Speaker 1: I understand the need to push content, especially if you're

234
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: a content creator like a regular person, but the standard

235
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: bear has got to come on. Now, let's get back

236
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,880
Speaker 1: to bearing them standards. Because I go on my social

237
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 1: media and I see the most random. It'll be a

238
00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: five year old in the backyard who put a spin

239
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: move on his friend, you know, and playing backyard sandline football,

240
00:10:30,720 --> 00:10:32,960
Speaker 1: and that'll make all that. I'm like, all right, why

241
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:34,760
Speaker 1: are we showing that exactly? I say that to say

242
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:37,800
Speaker 1: to your point, we do cover everything. We'll cover every throw.

243
00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,120
Speaker 1: You used to just know only in the preseason game.

244
00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 3: That's it. Maybe if something huge or bad happened came out.

245
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 1: Now we know every throw, every nick, every I got

246
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: a scratch, I got a boo boo. Man, what teammate

247
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:51,960
Speaker 1: yelled at them? And the things that are becoming. Things

248
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 1: were so regular. You played in the league and not

249
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,600
Speaker 1: too far removed us bumping chest and us with that

250
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: was stand over. Not we all been seeing hard knocks

251
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,920
Speaker 1: for twenty some years. That's so regular.

252
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:06,360
Speaker 4: But now it's like, oh my gosh, yo, this is

253
00:11:06,400 --> 00:11:08,680
Speaker 4: happening in training cap he grabs some water and sprayed

254
00:11:08,679 --> 00:11:09,400
Speaker 4: it and they got okay.

255
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:10,680
Speaker 3: But this has been happening guys.

256
00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:14,319
Speaker 4: Kelvin, he struggled in team blitz pick up against the

257
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: entral squad that they was going agat. I don't remember

258
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,959
Speaker 4: who it was, but somebody reported that. I'm like, you

259
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,120
Speaker 4: saw him in one period and said, this guy isn't

260
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,720
Speaker 4: going to have a good year this year. Relax now,

261
00:11:25,880 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: he did look bad in basketball shorts and T shirts.

262
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 4: I did need more out of him. I did need

263
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: more out of him than five out seventeen. Carrie, Carrie

264
00:11:33,440 --> 00:11:35,520
Speaker 4: carry you see what happened in game one, well, the

265
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,839
Speaker 4: game two of preseason when he got his snaps what

266
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 4: he did?

267
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 3: He looked good, right, he looked good.

268
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: Listen, I hope he looks to an extent as a

269
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: Detroit hold On, you can look good, but don't look good.

270
00:11:47,559 --> 00:11:49,560
Speaker 1: I need him to be like you know, I needed

271
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:52,680
Speaker 1: to be somebody else. He can't be halle Berry looking

272
00:11:52,720 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: good like that. Held On, don't look like that. Okay,

273
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,720
Speaker 1: you can be cool, don't look that good. My point is,

274
00:11:58,920 --> 00:12:02,160
Speaker 1: as you know, the preseason is gonna be too much

275
00:12:02,200 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 1: to try to go back and forth with right, like

276
00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:06,400
Speaker 1: we're gonna because now he looks mid the next game

277
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: ile you and I got to come on here and

278
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:10,559
Speaker 1: do that. That's why I, for me, was the larger

279
00:12:10,600 --> 00:12:14,680
Speaker 1: point of Ben Johnson is going to whatever's in there,

280
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,760
Speaker 1: I'm gonna be able to extract it the best out

281
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,760
Speaker 1: of you. And you know this from a business or

282
00:12:19,880 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: entrepreneurial standpoint, one of the things you're supposed to do

283
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,120
Speaker 1: is hire to your weaknesses. You want somebody that, hey,

284
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 1: I'm not good at organization, will find someone who's organization

285
00:12:28,840 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: league spectacular. Hey I'm not good at math, or I'm

286
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:35,240
Speaker 1: not good at my finances, go get a financial advisor,

287
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,840
Speaker 1: somebody who can do all of that. I say that

288
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:40,959
Speaker 1: to say this is why if you're a Bears fan,

289
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 1: you'd be hopeful that Ben Johnson, that's what he does.

290
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:46,719
Speaker 1: If you looked at Jared Goff and the offense, it

291
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: was very precision oriented, right, because you know, Jared Golf

292
00:12:50,559 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: ain't rolling around and running every although every now and

293
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:54,400
Speaker 1: again he did catch a pass, how he caught a

294
00:12:54,440 --> 00:12:55,400
Speaker 1: touchdown pass.

295
00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 3: But they were so unexpected.

296
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,440
Speaker 4: That's why he was open Thatath falls in the same

297
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 4: category as that little kid shooting the ball the siria

298
00:13:02,120 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 4: and the butt.

299
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:04,480
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah that does. He was wide open.

300
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:08,280
Speaker 1: It was like when Peyton Manning used to play fake,

301
00:13:08,840 --> 00:13:10,199
Speaker 1: fake the handoff and keep running.

302
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:12,680
Speaker 3: Everybody like what, man, he is not running?

303
00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:15,160
Speaker 1: He actually run. Yeah, I know that's a touchdown. We're

304
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: gonna have to just give up because we did not

305
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: see that coming. But I said that to say I

306
00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 1: just think Ben Johnson's gonna be if it's there, if

307
00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,960
Speaker 1: he can be good with timing, if he can be

308
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,800
Speaker 1: on point on time, if he can be his processing

309
00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:29,760
Speaker 1: can be sped up. This is the guy that will

310
00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: help him do it, and that their marriage needs to

311
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: be one that can go stand the test of time

312
00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: because they can get the best out of each other. Hey,

313
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,280
Speaker 1: these are the things you're great at, Ben Johnson. By

314
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: the way, you might be getting a guy who can

315
00:13:42,400 --> 00:13:44,640
Speaker 1: do the other things too, Meaning I can actually run

316
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:45,960
Speaker 1: out of the pipe when when the play we have

317
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: design doesn't work. I can scramble that pass was supposed

318
00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:50,880
Speaker 1: to I know, but I got the armstrengts and talent

319
00:13:51,040 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 1: to get it to the other guy the second or

320
00:13:52,880 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: third look.

321
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:55,360
Speaker 3: If it need be.

322
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:57,520
Speaker 1: So if they can marriage and make that happen, and

323
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: I'm expect it to be fireworks necessarily year two right

324
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: off the bat. Yeah, but if they can get that

325
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: thing Roland, that will be scary for that division for

326
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,760
Speaker 1: sure and in the league as they continue to move forward.

327
00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,280
Speaker 1: But again, I think there's gonna be He's gonna it's

328
00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 1: gonna take time because again, for his whole life, I've

329
00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:16,160
Speaker 1: just simply been better than you. I've just simply made

330
00:14:16,200 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 1: a way when there's been no way, and you subconsciously

331
00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 1: become relying on that. And that is the difficulty with

332
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: people who are extremely talented. It's to rely right you

333
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,280
Speaker 1: get to the NBA. I've always been faster, jump, higher, stronger,

334
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,680
Speaker 1: And then, like you said, yeah do so have all

335
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,480
Speaker 1: of us, and some of us are working alive. Kobe

336
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: Bryant every year, I'm I'm in my lab Lebron every year.

337
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 1: I'm Michael Jordan, I'm coming back. I'm getting better, I'm better.

338
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,120
Speaker 1: I'm Steph Curry. I'm working on my left hand even more.

339
00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 1: I'm working on this shot. And dudes, just or I

340
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,960
Speaker 1: can hoop, No, we all can hoop.

341
00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:50,360
Speaker 4: We all can do it. Kelvin the thing for Caleb,

342
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:54,720
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna make it simple. If he's coachable this year,

343
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 4: he's gonna do his job and he's gonna do it

344
00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 4: well because the tools are there. You him all the

345
00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 4: things you said he's elusive. If he can make plays

346
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,280
Speaker 4: happen off of off of the first read, right, if

347
00:15:06,360 --> 00:15:08,240
Speaker 4: he's accurate and no time with the first read, and

348
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,920
Speaker 4: he's and he's coachable this year, this team's gonna be.

349
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:12,800
Speaker 4: This team's gonna be right in the thick of that division.

350
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,160
Speaker 4: And I'm sorry. I'm sorry for you Lions. If we

351
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:18,040
Speaker 4: already got deal with the Packers and everybody, oh, I know.

352
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 4: But if he's coachable and he really takes in what

353
00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson's selling, they're gonna be they're gonna be dangerous.

354
00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:26,120
Speaker 3: No, you just made me not even I hope he's not.

355

00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: talking about Kayle Williams last hour. Let's talk about Dylan

421
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: Gabriel and how he is. He had we got to

422
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,199
Speaker 1: see him finally. You know, I've been dealing with that

423
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:18,840
Speaker 1: hamstring injury for a little bit there, so we got

424
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: to see him perform in his preseason debut, and a

425
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: lot of folks kind of me he kind of I've

426
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:27,720
Speaker 1: been saying that he had kind of been under the

427
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: radar because all of the conversations was about Shadure.

428
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but he had one hundred and forty three yards.

429
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,160
Speaker 1: He fumbled through an interception that kind of wasn't in

430
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:39,359
Speaker 1: his interception, but you know, obviously he's gonna go in

431
00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:41,600
Speaker 1: his stats. But and by the way, I got to

432
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:45,280
Speaker 1: give him some credit through some lasers, dough some darts.

433
00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 1: He looked good throwing some of those passes in the

434
00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,760
Speaker 1: tight coverage and a lot of his I think you

435
00:18:50,760 --> 00:18:53,080
Speaker 1: you've been high on you do like that? Yeah, a

436
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:54,840
Speaker 1: lot of folks who said, man, that's what he can do.

437
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,040
Speaker 1: So he did the best that he could there. But

438
00:18:57,119 --> 00:19:00,320
Speaker 1: of course it wouldn't be sports in twenty twenty five

439
00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 1: if it wasn't for the other stuff. You thought we

440
00:19:03,520 --> 00:19:05,520
Speaker 1: was gonna talk about him. Man, it's a great players

441
00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:07,719
Speaker 1: performing at a good job. Yeah, he did a job here.

442
00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:08,239
Speaker 1: You look at him.

443
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:09,760
Speaker 4: He was he was one hundred and forty three yards.

444
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 4: He was thirteen for eighteen seventy two percent.

445
00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: Nah, na dah. It was what happened off the field

446
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,120

447
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 9: You know, there's there's entertainers and there's competitors, and I

00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 3: Of course, we're.

451
00:19:28,520 --> 00:19:30,879
Speaker 9: Doing this big game, but you know it's something that

452
00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 9: I'll get used to and just want to be the

453
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:35,560

454
00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 9: we can all go do our best work. That's all

455
00:19:37,040 --> 00:19:37,480

468
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 9: So that's it.

469
00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 3: Mm hmm.

470
00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 1: And then social media debates have becut, Oh my god.

471
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: People wanted to know was he taking shots at your door?

472
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:20,040
Speaker 1: Who he is competing with to be the number two?

473
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,800
Speaker 1: If your name was Kevin Washington and you were the coach,

474
00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,639
Speaker 1: you'd be competing for maybe being the starter. That's just me.

475
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,120
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a minute. Because they also

476
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 1: named Joe Flacco as quarterback one. We'll talk about that

477
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: in a little bit. No surprise there. But I do

478
00:20:31,800 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: have my points. I love to get your thoughts on

479
00:20:33,560 --> 00:20:35,200
Speaker 1: that as well. But this is my thing with the

480
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:40,359
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel. Look, I do not believe that he was

481
00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: talking about your door. I wish she was talking about

482
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,920
Speaker 1: your door because I could light into him.

483
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:48,800
Speaker 3: I could have a big old thing.

484
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: Oh, when the competition's on, you already throw your man

485
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 1: under the bus when the competition the lights are on.

486
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 1: This is how you handled I would have loved to

487
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: go on that route. But the more I have reason

488
00:20:57,640 --> 00:20:59,159
Speaker 1: to take a break and don't have to just go

489
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:01,240
Speaker 1: by with social media you're telling me I gotta say.

490
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,359
Speaker 1: And the more you dissect and god forbid, do a

491
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,840
Speaker 1: little research, you realize Dylan Gabriel has said this before.

492
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 1: You know how folks have their mantras. This is my

493
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,040
Speaker 1: thing I stand on, This is the thing I believe him.

494
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: Being a quarterback, you can tell he takes the position seriously.

495
00:21:15,880 --> 00:21:17,720
Speaker 1: You can tell he wants to be good at the podium,

496
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,040
Speaker 1: and this is one of those things he's mentioned before.

497
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: And he was talking about entertainers. He was talking about

498
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,439
Speaker 1: people like me and you. Yeah, because you on this

499
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,360
Speaker 1: side now on the field, no more care. You ain't

500
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:28,200
Speaker 1: if I did both, stay focused.

501
00:21:28,200 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 3: You ever hear it now?

502
00:21:29,080 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 4: Nobody want to hear about that. I'll bring it up

503
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,880
Speaker 4: later when you played, But right now you ain't us.

504
00:21:33,560 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 4: And so this is him, say what you know? That's

505
00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:39,639
Speaker 4: that coach speak that QB once speak. Right well, locked in,

506
00:21:39,720 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: this is what we do. It's all about us.

507
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 1: We're only worried about our locker room and we can

508
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: only control the controllables and all those mantras and sayings

509
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:46,040
Speaker 1: and cliches you say.

510
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 3: And so that's what he was doing.

511
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:52,400
Speaker 1: But it was another lesson learned of you being podium

512
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,400
Speaker 1: ready in high school. You being podium ready in college

513
00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: is different than the pros. You being podium ready is

514
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: different than the pros. You being the guy you know

515
00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:09,239
Speaker 1: historically in college is a lot. At Oregon and at

516
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:11,280
Speaker 1: organ has been a very successful program in the last

517
00:22:11,280 --> 00:22:15,800
Speaker 1: twenty thirty years, but it's hit different than being in

518
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: Cleveland and in the NFL, where there's already controversy. They've

519
00:22:20,080 --> 00:22:22,840
Speaker 1: been successful, but we don't know any of their players exactly.

520
00:22:23,200 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 1: And now you're in a position where we are waiting,

521
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:29,399
Speaker 1: we are watching what Joe Flacco gonna say? Is he

522
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,560
Speaker 1: gonna say, I don't care about these youngins. I'm trying

523
00:22:31,560 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: to do me what's Kenny Pick? No, actually nobody cares

524
00:22:33,760 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 1: about Kenny Pick? What is Dylan Gaber't gonna do?

525
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:37,080
Speaker 3: Or say? What is Sho do?

526
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,560
Speaker 1: Or Deon Sanders Gon say we're all watching this soap opera.

527
00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 1: And he threw out a little fuel to add to

528
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,040
Speaker 1: the fire. And there is a lesson to be learned

529
00:22:46,480 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: with that. And I think again, while he was well groomed,

530
00:22:50,160 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: and you know, and and was ready to be again

531
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: that podium ready guy at at Oregon, welcome to the pros.

532
00:22:56,800 --> 00:22:58,960
Speaker 1: And just like the pro game is different, and the

533
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: speed is different, and the pace in which they play

534
00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: is different. And that that linebacker I used to escape

535
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: for is running a four to three. Now it hit different.

536
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:09,840
Speaker 1: So does all the drama and everything that comes with it.

537
00:23:10,160 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 1: So he was trying to avoid entertainers, and by the

538
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:16,480
Speaker 1: little Freudian slip there, he threw some fuel to the entertainers.

539
00:23:16,520 --> 00:23:18,920
Speaker 1: And now we're having these conversations and instead of what's

540
00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:20,639
Speaker 1: on the field, And we're gonna get back to that

541
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: what's on the field, because I do want to talk

542
00:23:22,560 --> 00:23:23,639
Speaker 1: about Joe fla o QB one.

543
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 3: But what's your thoughts on Dylian?

544
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, No, you said you said a lot there about

545
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 4: the vacuum that's the NFL.

546
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:37,200
Speaker 3: And the vacuum that's Cleveland right now. It's insane.

547
00:23:38,080 --> 00:23:41,000
Speaker 4: So anything that happens or anything that's said, obviously it's

548
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 4: going to be amplified, right, And so I don't think

549
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 4: you have to watch what you say. I think I

550
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,800
Speaker 4: think there's like a misconception with that for athletes, right,

551
00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:53,960
Speaker 4: as long as you're yourself, I think people are gonna

552
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,159
Speaker 4: love you or hate you regardless. Take for example, Marson

553
00:23:57,240 --> 00:23:59,199
Speaker 4: Lynch his interviews and stuff he did when he was

554
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: talking to the media, he was solely himself. Either you

555
00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:07,719
Speaker 4: liked it or you hated it, right, But being in

556
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 4: between and doing the politically correct thing, when especially nowadays

557
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 4: with the coverage that they have in the NFL, you're

558
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 4: not gonna win anyway. So for me, I would tell

559
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,600
Speaker 4: any player that's going through training if I was giving

560
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:22,800
Speaker 4: them training, obviously there are things in their team principles

561
00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,520
Speaker 4: that your team stands by. So there are things you

562
00:24:25,560 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 4: have to operate when it comes to that. But when

563
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,719
Speaker 4: it comes to you and you trying to get yourself

564
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,720
Speaker 4: or get your point across to whoever it is outside

565
00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 4: of your team, just be you because everything you say

566
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: is going to be picked apart anyway. So if as

567
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 4: long as you're being yourself and you can live with

568
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:44,560
Speaker 4: what you're saying and what's going on, do that you

569
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 4: don't have to worry about having the Freudian slip at

570
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 4: that point, right, Like, no, I meant what I said,

571
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:50,560
Speaker 4: and I don't have to go back on and you

572
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:52,199
Speaker 4: know I've said that this is who I am. So

573
00:24:52,720 --> 00:24:55,360
Speaker 4: I think that's the part about media and kids and

574
00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:58,440
Speaker 4: these guys, this new age NFL with so much coverage

575
00:24:58,440 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 4: around it.

576
00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:01,120
Speaker 1: Well, I think that what happens though, I think that

577
00:25:01,160 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 1: comes with getting burned a couple of times like this,

578
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: where you start to say, screw it. Yeah, I say

579
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: I love Sy y'all can say no, you don't exactly.

580
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 3: I say I hate Sha. You say, see he hate her.

581
00:25:11,760 --> 00:25:13,680
Speaker 1: So I might as well stand on business and say

582
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:15,840
Speaker 1: what I believe, and I believe and stand on that

583
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,520
Speaker 1: and I think that comes from getting burned. So I

584
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:20,119
Speaker 1: think he's gonna learn that I'm gonna say what I

585
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,199
Speaker 1: mean and mean what I say regardless, and obviously he

586
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:23,959
Speaker 1: did in his case, but I ain't gonna be doing

587
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: a lot of backtracking, right And honestly it took you

588
00:25:26,920 --> 00:25:29,000
Speaker 1: know me, you I may be different because like maybe

589
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:30,639
Speaker 1: for you, it was being the player and they were

590
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,720
Speaker 1: interviewed you you're a player now again you're a former player.

591
00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 3: I'm a player now, okay.

592
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 1: And maybe they were asking you questions and you were

593
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: trying to do the perfect little thing, or maybe it's

594
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: now you on this side of things or being interviewed

595
00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,760
Speaker 1: as an artist and whatnot, and I had to learn that,

596
00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:44,359
Speaker 1: you know we're doing this on a mic. Well, I

597
00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,360
Speaker 1: don't want to offend. And maybe it's like, man, this, hey,

598
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:47,879
Speaker 1: this is how I feel, This is what I believe.

599
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:49,840
Speaker 1: This is my opinion. And you have to be comfortable

600
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: because right now somebody's gonna say, man, you're crazy to

601
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: hate you. Somebody else is gonna say, man, you one

602
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 1: thousand zica rate. You want to be exactly saying what

603
00:25:57,200 --> 00:25:59,439
Speaker 1: you believe, standing on that and it be what it is,

604
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,439
Speaker 1: say what you so nobody else can take it out

605
00:26:01,440 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 1: of context one hundred percent. So with that being said, though, Dylan,

606
00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Gabriel and now Shaud Dour as well both look solid.

607
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:13,000
Speaker 1: Gabriel throwing an interception of pick six and also fumbling

608
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,440
Speaker 1: which was absolutely his fault, but overall played pretty well,

609
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:17,760
Speaker 1: as did Shaduur.

610
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 3: He played really well.

611
00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:23,520
Speaker 1: So now you come out after that when both the

612
00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: week prior Shadur, this week is Gabriel Dylan, and now

613
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: they say Joe Flacco's QB one, which was to be expected.

614
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 1: We all thought that. My thought intake has been this.

615
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,960
Speaker 1: This is where Rob and I disagree, and you can

616
00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:39,159
Speaker 1: I want to get your thoughts on it. I'm straight

617
00:26:39,200 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 1: on the recyclables. I'm straight on going back to my

618
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:49,160
Speaker 1: old girl that on the left started again, left them

619
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:51,879
Speaker 1: passed on, and now I'm going back to her again.

620
00:26:52,080 --> 00:26:53,960
Speaker 1: When I know what it's gonna be, We're gonna have

621
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:57,320
Speaker 1: a good six weeks and then I'm gonna be pulling

622
00:26:57,320 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: my hair out again and wanting to get on and

623
00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:02,360
Speaker 1: move on. That's Joe Flacco. You're gonna have a good

624
00:27:02,400 --> 00:27:05,160
Speaker 1: six weeks. You're gonna be six and eleven with Joe Flacco.

625
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: And he'll have three weeks in a row where.

626
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:08,719
Speaker 4: You like see it.

627
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:11,639
Speaker 1: So what I'm talking about baby playoffs And then you're

628
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 1: gonna go, why is this dude starting similar to Indianapolis?

629
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: And then you can to me, my whole point is,

630
00:27:18,800 --> 00:27:22,159
Speaker 1: i'd rather start if it's Dylan. Fine, let's get the

631
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:23,639
Speaker 1: Dylan Gabriel train rolling.

632
00:27:23,960 --> 00:27:28,080
Speaker 4: If it's your door, which i'd rather be because you

633
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 4: just from the fan.

634
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 3: I don't know why to not.

635
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:34,680
Speaker 1: I'd be embracing the fan fare. Fans are all in. Well,

636
00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 1: he's got the number two.

637
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 3: Jersey.

638
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,400
Speaker 1: Ratings were up, more people to watch the preseason game

639
00:27:40,440 --> 00:27:43,520
Speaker 1: than ever for the Browns. I'm rolling into that. I'm

640
00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: loving it. We got a guy and he's young, so

641
00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:53,399
Speaker 1: that there's potential as long as he's progressing Carrie throughout

642
00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 1: the season, and even if we only go six and eleven,

643
00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,639
Speaker 1: but I see where we're going.

644
00:27:58,080 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 3: Allah.

645
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,119
Speaker 1: You mentioned Peyton Manning last hour, and say be Peyton.

646
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: But my point is to me, I'd rather that with

647
00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:06,359
Speaker 1: the young guy. And let's say Chador sucks and he

648
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 1: goes oh for six and just looking horrible. Yeah, yep, Dylan,

649
00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: you out, buddy. I don't get to recycling Joe old Coole.

650
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,280
Speaker 1: I already know what that is. Well, and he's two

651
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:20,439
Speaker 1: years removed from taking y'all the postseason. He took you

652
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 1: to postseason. You let him go, y'all said, thanks for

653
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: note things, get out of here, and then you spun

654
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,439
Speaker 1: the block back and you want to get that to me.

655
00:28:26,520 --> 00:28:30,880
Speaker 1: I don't see what the advantage is when I don't

656
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,480
Speaker 1: see it's going to be a winning scenario.

657
00:28:33,320 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 3: And again, these.

658
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:36,680
Speaker 1: Quarterbacks are coming in with a bunch of starts, yep,

659
00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 1: coming in ready, Shadoor is about is I'm not saying

660
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 1: he's going to be great right off the bet. What

661
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 1: I'm saying is experience wise, well, Kelvin, it's a lot

662
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: of things, right. So number one, number one, Flocko. They

663
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: sent Flucko away at the demand of Deshaun Watson's team,

664
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 1: so they didn't want to get rid of him. They

665
00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: wanted to keep him milk. There was a reason for that.

666
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:02,520
Speaker 1: So that's number one, white left number two. All that

667
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: sounds good throwing those guys in there, But and I

668
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: think the expectations for the Cleveland Browns on the outside

669
00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: is pretty low because they're in a tough, tough division.

670
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 1: You know they had a down season last year, huh,

671
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,760
Speaker 1: But I think the core of that team is really

672
00:29:16,760 --> 00:29:18,560
Speaker 1: good and I think they can compete and I think

673
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 1: they can win a lot of games this year. Debate, right,

674
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: but I think they have that talent. So you have

675
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback that took you to the playoffs a year

676
00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 1: and had two years ago, and you know what you're

677
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: gonna get from him with the team that's.

678
00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, you do.

679
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:34,280
Speaker 4: You know you already said he's gonna he's gonna be

680
00:29:34,280 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 4: he's gonna have three weeks where he's playing great and

681
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,920
Speaker 4: he's gonna win three games for you and maybe he

682
00:29:37,960 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 4: loses one, but you know he can win games for you.

683
00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 3: So you have a team that's ready.

684
00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:45,040
Speaker 4: You have a team that's ready, and they're gonna give

685
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,600
Speaker 4: them themselves the best chance to win. And also we

686
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:52,880
Speaker 4: don't know the least for their head coach Kevin Stefanski either.

00:33:55,520 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 4: all right, Ryan Man, there's a Big ten floating idea

776
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 4: about twenty eighteen college football playoff breaking down.

777
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 5: Yes, So this was a report that came out from

778
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 5: Pete Thamill over the weekend. He said the Big Ten

779
00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,480
Speaker 5: has considered an idea of massive expansion to the college

780
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,919
Speaker 5: football playoff that would grow the postseason to twenty four

781
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,080
Speaker 5: or twenty eight teams. While the idea is in the

782
00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 5: very early stages, the proposal eliminates conference title games and

783
00:34:19,840 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 5: offers a large number of auto bids for all four

784
00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:25,200
Speaker 5: Power leagues, sources said. For example, in the twenty eight

785
00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 5: team model, the Big Ten and SEC would each get

786
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 5: seven auto bids, while the ACC and Big twelve would

787
00:34:31,120 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 5: each receive five. There would be two auto bids for

788
00:34:33,600 --> 00:34:36,640
Speaker 5: the non Power four conferences and two at large teams.

789
00:34:36,719 --> 00:34:39,960
Speaker 5: Big Big Ten commissioner Tony Petiti ran the idea by

790
00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:44,360
Speaker 5: his conference last Wednesday, and it has begun being shared

791
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 5: by others.

792
00:34:45,840 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: All Right, we went from four to twelve, not four

793
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,120
Speaker 1: to eight, four to twelve, and now not twelve to

794
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:54,959
Speaker 1: sixteen and twenty two twenty four.

795
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:58,439
Speaker 3: We're jumping at twenty eight. Now.

796
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:00,439
Speaker 1: There's a lot to break down here, Kerrie, So let's

797
00:35:00,440 --> 00:35:02,480
Speaker 1: get into this, all right. So first of all, is

798
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:04,040
Speaker 1: this march madness in the fall?

799
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 2: What are we doing?

800
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,600
Speaker 3: It's crazy? And I'm assuming you I don't know, So

801
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:11,200
Speaker 3: I'm gonna tell you, Wryan, because I don't. You might

802
00:35:11,200 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 3: love the.

803
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:14,000
Speaker 1: Idea, I don't know So this is what you're setting

804
00:35:14,040 --> 00:35:15,640
Speaker 1: up for. You're setting up for the big ten one

805
00:35:15,800 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 1: seven teams in whatever it is. You're gonna have a

806
00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:22,840
Speaker 1: four loss Indiana team or a four loss Iowa team

807
00:35:22,920 --> 00:35:25,920
Speaker 1: actually competing and having a chance, you never know, to

808
00:35:25,960 --> 00:35:28,920
Speaker 1: get to the national championship game. And this is what

809
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:31,640
Speaker 1: you have when you start to think about money over tradition,

810
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,840
Speaker 1: right when you start to picture everything is about a dollar,

811
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,520
Speaker 1: which we know that it is. But Dan Get, the

812
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:39,040
Speaker 1: illusion is gone. It's gone. They ain't even trying to

813
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,640
Speaker 1: hide it anymore. And to stop selling me, by the way,

814
00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: Ryan carry, stop selling me on safety of the collegiate athlete.

815
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:48,440
Speaker 3: He's a scholar athlete.

816
00:35:48,719 --> 00:35:50,959
Speaker 1: Stop that, because I mean there's gonna be more because

817
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,240
Speaker 1: you gotta go round around right other than the four teams,

818
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,200
Speaker 1: but they'll get a bye. We gotta go round around

819
00:35:56,320 --> 00:35:58,440
Speaker 1: city to city, more traveling.

820
00:35:59,080 --> 00:35:59,600
Speaker 3: And this is.

821
00:35:59,560 --> 00:36:02,440
Speaker 1: Exactly why these kids should get the money they can.

822
00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:02,560
Speaker 2: Now.

823
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:04,319
Speaker 1: I think there's some parameters in some ways to do

824
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,480
Speaker 1: it better, but you should because you never know, dud,

825
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: You've got more games, less time, you focusing on your academics,

826
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:11,960
Speaker 1: which some aren't. And I want to put say all

827
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 1: work there's a lot who are understand I ain't going pro,

828
00:36:15,120 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 1: but there's some who believe they are and ain't caring

829
00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:19,440
Speaker 1: right now, So let's start with the idea they're the

830
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: student athlete, because that clearly is not the case here.

831
00:36:22,239 --> 00:36:24,520
Speaker 1: And to put money over tradition again, and this is

832
00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:26,960
Speaker 1: greed when you're talking about from the Big ten and

833
00:36:27,040 --> 00:36:29,440
Speaker 1: the SEC. Right, so we already know that coud both

834
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:31,200
Speaker 1: these teams will get seven bids, which you mean seven

835
00:36:31,239 --> 00:36:33,239
Speaker 1: teams in and so on and so forth, more popularity,

836
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 1: more television, and then this is just gonna be something

837
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,759
Speaker 1: where we already had to blow out this last go round, right,

838
00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 1: the average you know what the first round was, the

839
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 1: average margin of victory almost twenty was nineteen points a game.

840
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 3: Okay, you had more.

841
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,279
Speaker 1: Now you have more games where the possibility of these

842
00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: blowouts and it's whereas a waste of time and we're

843
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:55,319
Speaker 1: not really watch it. And again I go back to

844
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:58,680
Speaker 1: the becoming the meaningless games college football would made it

845
00:36:58,760 --> 00:37:01,719
Speaker 1: different than other ones is there's about twenty teams or so,

846
00:37:02,560 --> 00:37:04,439
Speaker 1: who hey, we can't lose more than two?

847
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, max three? But two?

848
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,440
Speaker 1: Really is it to really have a chance to compete?

849
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:12,840
Speaker 1: Now you can lose three, four, maybe five if we

850
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: go to this twenty eight game model. So college football

851
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: is perfect because it's not like the other sports programs,

852
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:21,919
Speaker 1: and the moment we actually make it to get where it's,

853
00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: you know, easier to get in, we're gonna lose. What

854
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:27,960
Speaker 1: makes it special for those Again, there's a lotment of

855
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:30,440
Speaker 1: teams who actually have a shot a shot at it,

856
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:35,319
Speaker 1: and sometimes bigger than necessarily mean better. In this case,

857
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:39,719
Speaker 1: it means greedier. And I'm saying, guys, like, where's the

858
00:37:39,760 --> 00:37:42,440
Speaker 1: point of it all when you have a chance to

859
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: be in it? Even if you lose, Skip two, three weeks,

860
00:37:45,160 --> 00:37:47,760
Speaker 1: lose again, skip another couple weeks, lose again, don't.

861
00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:50,399
Speaker 3: Worry about the fans. We still got a shot. Yeah.

862
00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:53,239
Speaker 4: All this is doing, Kelvin is taking the urgency out

863
00:37:53,239 --> 00:37:56,400
Speaker 4: of college football, right, Like, if you can lose that

864
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,400
Speaker 4: amount of games, I don't have to tune in as

865
00:37:58,480 --> 00:38:01,480
Speaker 4: much to watch because it doesn't matter as much. Like

866
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 4: if you lose a game two games now, like you're

867
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:05,320
Speaker 4: still in the hunt.

868
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 3: When I played, if you lost one game, you're done.

869
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 4: Like the importance that each game, each game meant for

870
00:38:12,080 --> 00:38:14,839
Speaker 4: college collegiate athletes at the time was a big deal

871
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:17,880
Speaker 4: and that's why people tuned in because any get the

872
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:20,480
Speaker 4: whole any given Saturday, I know it's any given Sunday,

873
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:24,960
Speaker 4: any given Saturday. If your top team loses, they're done.

874
00:38:25,480 --> 00:38:27,399
Speaker 4: And so you're taking that element out of it. It'll

875
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:31,560
Speaker 4: make it'll make college football less enjoyable. But also you're

876
00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 4: also setting up for just bad football. Yes, you just

877
00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:37,560
Speaker 4: said it that it was only it was a twelve.

878
00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 3: It was twelve last year, and it was bad football

879
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,080
Speaker 3: with the twelve. So imagine if you go to twenty eight.

880
00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:45,480
Speaker 3: I don't I don't want to. I don't want to

881
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:45,920
Speaker 3: watch that.

882
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 1: You're not because you're here's the thing you're bringing in

883
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 1: twenty eight teams. It's not as if you're bringing the

884
00:38:50,160 --> 00:38:55,680
Speaker 1: best teams. No, you're gonna have probably twenty bad, maybe

885
00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:59,839
Speaker 1: eighteen bad teams, five pretty good, and then five really good,

886
00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get them all mixed matched in this

887
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 1: one because they happen to win the champions and you

888
00:39:04,040 --> 00:39:05,480
Speaker 1: get and then you're gonna get a bunch of blots.

889
00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:06,080
Speaker 3: And we just had that.

890
00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:08,040
Speaker 1: I just told you the average margin of victory was

891
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 1: twenty yep. So now it's not as if you're getting me,

892
00:39:11,719 --> 00:39:13,359
Speaker 1: these games are gonna be good. And if you want

893
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,799
Speaker 1: to use the March Madness equation, we love the Cinderella

894
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 1: a little bit, but we ultimately get the powerhouses.

895
00:39:21,600 --> 00:39:24,879
Speaker 4: We're getting Dukes, the Yukons and North Carolina's yeah, and

896
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 4: you know, the the Gonzagas or something that's we're getting

897
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,320
Speaker 4: the blue bloods in there, and that's what we're getting,

898
00:39:29,800 --> 00:39:32,319
Speaker 4: and we're gonna ultimately get the same teams and the

899
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,839
Speaker 4: college football playoff team at the end of it all.

900
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,640
Speaker 4: And March Madness is totally different because it's five players

901
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:40,800
Speaker 4: on the court. One guy can go off in the

902
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:43,719
Speaker 4: game and steal you a game. We're in football. It

903
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,879
Speaker 4: just doesn't work that way. You're not beating Ohio State.

904
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 4: If you're you know, you're some bad team.

905
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: No, No, Kansas is not beating Alabama.

906
00:39:54,160 --> 00:39:56,000
Speaker 4: You went Kansas. You just threw Kansas out there. I

907
00:39:56,080 --> 00:39:58,200
Speaker 4: did throw under the bus. Well, they got the basketball

908
00:39:58,239 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 4: side stick with that.

909
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:00,480
Speaker 3: Okay.

910
00:40:01,160 --> 00:40:03,960
Speaker 1: So this idea that yeah, let's just make it twenty

911
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:05,880
Speaker 1: eight teams. We'll get seven and you'll get seven and

912
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,200
Speaker 1: the rest of y'all fighting for your life.

913
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:08,279
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's the crazy part.

914
00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:10,160
Speaker 1: And what they're trying to do carry is keep the

915
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:12,879
Speaker 1: hope alive for a little team that you know, oh man,

916
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:15,040
Speaker 1: you got a chance to do something you don't and

917
00:40:15,080 --> 00:40:17,200
Speaker 1: it can maybe be a payday for these other teams. Right,

918
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:18,960
Speaker 1: you got to because if you mess around, and uh

919
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:21,040
Speaker 1: there's also Ryan correct me if I'm wrong. The way

920
00:40:21,040 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: it's going to work is a lot of teams will

921
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,080
Speaker 1: get home field advantage.

922
00:40:24,080 --> 00:40:25,759
Speaker 3: It's not going to be like a lot of neutral sites.

923
00:40:25,840 --> 00:40:26,640
Speaker 3: So you got to So.

924
00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,359
Speaker 1: If you're a smaller school and you get a game

925
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:30,680
Speaker 1: or two, that's a big that's a big money for

926
00:40:30,719 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 1: those schools. We got an extra couple of playoff games

927
00:40:33,120 --> 00:40:36,000
Speaker 1: that we can charge big money for parking and concessions.

928
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 1: And sure, mess around and make seven, eight, ten million

929
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,920
Speaker 1: a game or whatever the number would be for these games.

930
00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:43,759
Speaker 1: You know, sure that's great for them, but ultimately the

931
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 1: quality of the football is going to be horrible. And again,

932
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:50,240
Speaker 1: it's just rewarding mediocrity for teams that we have higher

933
00:40:50,239 --> 00:40:53,359
Speaker 1: expectations for. If you're Georgia and you lose three or four,

934
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 1: Alabama lose three or four, Yeah, we don't necessarily that

935
00:40:57,040 --> 00:41:00,120
Speaker 1: we have high expectations for you Michigan, right, and you

936
00:41:00,120 --> 00:41:02,000
Speaker 1: can't just oh man, I lost four or five games

937
00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:06,280
Speaker 1: and I got a shot like, no, the season should

938
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:08,719
Speaker 1: be over for you, and we'll see you next year.

939
00:41:09,120 --> 00:41:14,000
Speaker 4: Recruit better, get better schematics and play the better quarterback,

940
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:17,040
Speaker 4: and we'll see you next fall and get more money

941
00:41:17,239 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 4: and get more bread. Throw that in there, because that's

942
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 4: that's this is the new that you forgot. Give money,

943
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:23,040
Speaker 4: the new college, will get more money, go get some

944
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 4: better play exactly that part, because you know they'll be

945
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:31,399
Speaker 4: available because God, by God forbid you stick around. They

946
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 4: were just talking, Oh my gosh, who's the man the

947
00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:36,320
Speaker 4: quarterback who was behind?

948
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 2: Uh?

949
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,879
Speaker 1: Who was the quarterback that was supposed to be next

950
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:41,960
Speaker 1: up when Caleb left? Looked that up for me real quick.

951
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:42,759
Speaker 1: Ryan forgot his name.

952
00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:47,040
Speaker 4: Miler Moss. Miler Moss was Miler Ross Moss was at USA. Yeah, yeah,

953
00:41:47,080 --> 00:41:49,319
Speaker 4: but I think he actually got this spot, but looking

954
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:50,880
Speaker 4: up for it. So they did the whole thing on

955
00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:53,880
Speaker 4: breakdown of how where this kid is now? And he

956
00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 4: just kept transferring and leaving schools, and he was the

957
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,239
Speaker 4: number one in his class and then he's number two,

958
00:41:58,480 --> 00:42:01,120
Speaker 4: and now he's like the five hundre than thirteenth ranked

959
00:42:01,120 --> 00:42:02,960
Speaker 4: player in college football.

960
00:42:03,320 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: And my point is I always use it as man.

961
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 1: I'm all for look these kids being able to have

962
00:42:07,719 --> 00:42:10,640
Speaker 1: power over their lives because because coaches can look you

963
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:12,560
Speaker 1: in your eye and being your mom and daddy living room.

964
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,440
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna leave. I'm here with them to the end.

965
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,880
Speaker 1: First thing smoking. Hey, it's your agent. They offered you

966
00:42:17,920 --> 00:42:20,279
Speaker 1: an extra five hundred thousand a year. We out right,

967
00:42:20,360 --> 00:42:23,400
Speaker 1: First thing, First thing smoking. So I do love the

968
00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:27,840
Speaker 1: idea that these players can have more power and control

969
00:42:27,880 --> 00:42:30,520
Speaker 1: of their their their lives. But what I don't like

970
00:42:31,239 --> 00:42:33,320
Speaker 1: is you not having the the wear a thought to

971
00:42:33,360 --> 00:42:36,160
Speaker 1: understand sometimes the best situation is there and you just

972
00:42:36,239 --> 00:42:38,160
Speaker 1: might have to outplay somebody.

973
00:42:38,360 --> 00:42:39,879
Speaker 3: You might have to beat somebody out.

974
00:42:39,920 --> 00:42:41,520
Speaker 1: You might Hey, I knew I was supposed to be

975
00:42:41,560 --> 00:42:44,319
Speaker 1: the starting cornerback, not quarter corner it sports starting dB.

976
00:42:44,920 --> 00:42:47,680
Speaker 3: But this other kid is balling instead. What do they do?

977
00:42:47,719 --> 00:42:48,520
Speaker 3: They keep transferring.

978
00:42:48,520 --> 00:42:50,320
Speaker 1: Then you go to small school just because you can start,

979
00:42:50,360 --> 00:42:51,919
Speaker 1: and it's like, all right, but you're not playing the best,

980
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 1: You're not nobody's challenging you not to. Dude, you might

981
00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:56,920
Speaker 1: have to work in Michigan, Ohio State, Alabama, these two.

982
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:00,160
Speaker 3: But you start for your junior and senior year. That's

983
00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,759
Speaker 3: all you give me a beast, that's all you need.

984
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:03,720
Speaker 1: What you need is that one year and a half

985
00:43:04,160 --> 00:43:06,000
Speaker 1: on film and you can be a top whatever pick

986
00:43:06,040 --> 00:43:06,760
Speaker 1: and get in the league.

987
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:09,920
Speaker 3: But all new starting. I'm transferring, right.

988
00:43:10,480 --> 00:43:11,799
Speaker 1: And then you go to the other school and you

989
00:43:11,840 --> 00:43:15,600
Speaker 1: do start, but you don't like the coaches approach. I'm transferring.

990
00:43:16,320 --> 00:43:18,839
Speaker 1: That's the thing I don't like. If it's a real

991
00:43:18,920 --> 00:43:21,400
Speaker 1: situation that you know, you would feel the need, great,

992
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,680
Speaker 1: but I don't like the idea.

993
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,200
Speaker 3: Things didn't go my way. I don't like it. I'm transferring.

994
00:43:25,960 --> 00:43:29,400
Speaker 4: Sometimes the best version of you is getting better and

995
00:43:29,440 --> 00:43:31,239
Speaker 4: realizing I'm not as good as I thought, and I

996
00:43:31,239 --> 00:43:32,120
Speaker 4: got to push through.

997
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:33,840
Speaker 1: And you have years to do. It's not like you

998
00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,399
Speaker 1: got one year. Get better. Man up, young man up,

999
00:43:38,560 --> 00:43:44,279
Speaker 1: preach outwork this dude. Yeah no, I'm everybody's just transferring, going,

1000
00:43:44,280 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 1: and I'm like, Yo, that doesn't mean you're gonna be

1001
00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:48,720
Speaker 1: better just because you put on some good take because

1002
00:43:48,719 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 1: you went to Wichita State and with the best defensive

1003
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 1: back there.

1004
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:53,160
Speaker 3: Don't run from the grind.

1005
00:43:53,160 --> 00:43:56,680
Speaker 4: Ever, those be the wisest words you ever hear, don't

1006
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 4: run from the grind. I mean I had similar situation

1007
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 4: like that in college myself. I came in as a

1008
00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:06,120
Speaker 4: as a college quarterback, and for me to get playing

1009
00:44:06,160 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 4: time on the field, the coach is like, you're gonna

1010
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 4: have to switch the safety and I was like, nope,

1011
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:13,879
Speaker 4: I'm out the same mentality at first. My dad was like, no, no, no,

1012
00:44:14,280 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 4: you're not running from the grind. You're gonna You're gonna

1013
00:44:16,040 --> 00:44:18,360
Speaker 4: stay here. You can do anything they ask you to do.

1014
00:44:18,440 --> 00:44:20,680
Speaker 4: You're talented enough. Like he gave me that confidence and

1015
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,839
Speaker 4: was like, no, you face, you don't. As a man,

1016
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,480
Speaker 4: you do not run from your commitment. I made the

1017
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:29,160
Speaker 4: commitment to come to Louisville. So you're here, you're in

1018
00:44:29,160 --> 00:44:31,160
Speaker 4: the building, you got the scholarship, you do the work,

1019
00:44:32,080 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 4: put my head down grind. Didn't run from the grind,

1020
00:44:35,719 --> 00:44:37,839
Speaker 4: and here it is now like I completed the task,

1021
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:38,960
Speaker 4: you know what I mean, And it.

1022
00:44:38,960 --> 00:44:42,040
Speaker 1: Had a good pro career. Good career there obviously was

1023
00:44:42,040 --> 00:44:44,399
Speaker 1: turned into a good pro career. And so yeah, that's

1024
00:44:44,440 --> 00:44:46,280
Speaker 1: my thing. I'm not saying you have to stay somewhere

1025
00:44:46,280 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 1: if it's a horrible situation, but the idea that a

1026
00:44:48,719 --> 00:44:51,319
Speaker 1: minute it doesn't go my way. I'm anna bell. I'm

1027

Speaker 1: not a fan of that right because all of us.

1028
00:44:53,840 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 1: I don't care what field of work you're in. You

1043
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:24,839
Speaker 1: broken like a handful of heads?

1044
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: What they say? Because I like the grind? Yeah, good point.
