By the way, congratulations, Mike McDaniel is 31 00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 4: going to be the offensive coordinator of the LA Chargers. 32 00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960 Speaker 4: So Mike McDaniel and Jim Harbaugh in the same room. 33 00:01:53,280 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 4: And I know, going back, huh's fus. Once you went, 34 00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 4: there's no going back. 35 00:01:58,040 --> 00:01:59,720 Speaker 3: That's fine. So you had to come to you had 36 00:01:59,720 --> 00:02:02,800 Speaker 3: to come in La now because that fits here. I 37 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 3: mean it fits here. 38 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 2: You know, he pulled his name out of head coaching. Uh, 39 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,480 Speaker 2: you know, potential searches right like Cleveland he was up 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 2: for at least interviewed for. He pulled his hand out 41 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,280 Speaker 2: of that. It's I mean, to teach their own I 42 00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: just you'd think you'd want to stay being a head coach. 43 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,840 Speaker 2: It's also an interesting pairings schematically, if you if you 44 00:02:22,840 --> 00:02:25,519 Speaker 2: you know, we look at Harbaugh throughout his time whether 45 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: it be at Michigan, UH, San Francisco, Stanford, whatever you want. 46 00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,520 Speaker 2: Top points to you even at the Chargers, you know, 47 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,679 Speaker 2: he runs a lot greater variety of different gap schemes 48 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:40,639 Speaker 2: and their running style. You know, Mike McDaniels comes from 49 00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:43,480 Speaker 2: that Shanahan tree. It's everything's based off more of the 50 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,480 Speaker 2: outside zone, so a little more heavy zone running scheme. 51 00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 2: Which maybe if that's what what what Harball wants to do, 52 00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:52,680 Speaker 2: that's why he's bringing him in. But it's it's definitely 53 00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 2: a different philosophy, I would say from from some of 54 00:02:58,280 --> 00:02:59,160 Speaker 2: what Shannan. 55 00:02:58,880 --> 00:02:59,200 Speaker 3: Likes to do. 56 00:02:59,240 --> 00:03:02,000 Speaker 2: However, McDaniel was really done. But that being said, I 57 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: mean they also, you know, they want to run the football. 58 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:07,200 Speaker 2: I mean, as much as we want to look at 59 00:03:07,480 --> 00:03:09,519 Speaker 2: that tree and maybe even what Tua and the Dolphins 60 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:10,840 Speaker 2: were able to do and how he helped him the 61 00:03:10,880 --> 00:03:13,560 Speaker 2: passing game, you know, they would to run the football, 62 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,359 Speaker 2: and they want to find different personnel groupings and different 63 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 2: ways of cutting you up in the run game. And 64 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,639 Speaker 2: that's what this signals, at least to me, is getting 65 00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: back to a little more creativity and a little more 66 00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:24,840 Speaker 2: of of everything based off of that. 67 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: I mean, real spicy. 68 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:32,359 Speaker 1: You know, South Beach Beach is spicy, not not uh 69 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: not Redondo or you know, Hermoso or Manhattan, just like 70 00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:39,120 Speaker 1: real South Beach. 71 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 3: You know. Yeah it's different. 72 00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, it is is different, man Yeah, definitely very different. 73 00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 4: I would say this, though, I'm not sure Mike McDaniel 74 00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 4: can help with the the injury plague that the Chargers 75 00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: continue to go through every single year, every single year. 76 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:57,400 Speaker 4: And look, I don't know if they're practicing next to 77 00:03:57,480 --> 00:03:59,920 Speaker 4: Chernobyl like the Niners are, and if that's going to 78 00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,040 Speaker 4: thing to do with it, but I mean, well, because 79 00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,080 Speaker 4: their offensive line was destroyed this year. Nase Harris got 80 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,480 Speaker 4: there and blew his face up in a fireworks accident 81 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 4: before the season and then showed up and ruptured his 82 00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:17,120 Speaker 4: achilles Omaron Hampton missed a bunch of time. It just 83 00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,359 Speaker 4: justin Herbert was banged up like they on paper. You 84 00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 4: look at him, you go, well, they've drafted well looks 85 00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:26,840 Speaker 4: I mean defensively, like Jesse Minter is getting you know, 86 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 4: head coaching interviews because of the job he's done. Defensively, 87 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 4: like everything looks good, and every year there's an injury. 88 00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,320 Speaker 3: Every like they can't escape it. 89 00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 4: Every single year, there's some sort of a major injury 90 00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:42,720 Speaker 4: that the Chargers go through, and I just wonder. I 91 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 4: don't know if it's snake bit, I don't know if 92 00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 4: it's bad luck. I don't know that that Jim Harbaugh 93 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:50,800 Speaker 4: and or Mike McDaniel can fix that issue that they've 94 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 4: had for the longest time now, So best of luck, 95 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,960 Speaker 4: But that'll be a fun watch to see those two 96 00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:00,479 Speaker 4: guys together and trying to bring the Charger back to 97 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,440 Speaker 4: the postseason, hopefully getting a win this time. 98 00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 3: Now. 99 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:08,040 Speaker 4: On other coaching news, Jay Glazer was on Fox Sports 100 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:13,080 Speaker 4: one talking about the situation in Pittsburgh, Mike Tomlin no 101 00:05:13,160 --> 00:05:16,719 Speaker 4: longer the coach there and sort of how everything stands 102 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: up in Pittsburgh. And apparently, according to Jay Glazer, Mike 103 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,600 Speaker 4: Tomlin wasn't really the issue there and the issue may 104 00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 4: still reside in the Burg. 105 00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 3: Everybody thinks it's. 106 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 5: The greatest because well, they don't fire head coaches. We 107 00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:32,120 Speaker 5: don't fire head coaches because they've been successful all those years. 108 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,560 Speaker 5: But the Steelers, man, they have no quarterback. They have 109 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,160 Speaker 5: an aging defense where you gonna have to move off 110 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 5: from some guys. 111 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:39,640 Speaker 2: For the stars. 112 00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,440 Speaker 5: I think you got to kind of chase things that 113 00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,919 Speaker 5: are done in the organization. I think my team really 114 00:05:44,960 --> 00:05:47,160 Speaker 5: really covered up a lot of things that were that 115 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 5: are done over there. They're not They don't spend like other. 116 00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 2: Teams interesting at all. 117 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,440 Speaker 5: And I think the Steelers they just assume, well, they 118 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,760 Speaker 5: just don't fire guys. Yeah, they don't fire you because 119 00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:01,760 Speaker 5: they've just been successful for so many years. But I 120 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 5: think there's gonna be there's gonna be a little bit 121 00:06:03,960 --> 00:06:06,920 Speaker 5: of a rough patch ahead here where they're going to 122 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 5: have to start learning how to really open up a 123 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 5: spend and do things differently. 124 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:17,560 Speaker 4: So var you're Pittsburgh Steelers, gone of the days that 125 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 4: that mom and pop show in Pittsburgh is going to 126 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:25,719 Speaker 4: just continue on, continuing on and getting to the postseason. 127 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,760 Speaker 1: According to Jay Glaze, you know, knowing Jay, I wish 128 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:33,200 Speaker 1: he would have went a little deeper, cause he has it. 129 00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 1: Whatever it is he was basing what he was saying 130 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:39,440 Speaker 1: off of, he has that inside information, and it's direct. 131 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,599 Speaker 1: It's direct from most likely people in the front office. 132 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,360 Speaker 1: It's direct from probably more so guys in the locker room. 133 00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:49,760 Speaker 1: It's direct, and I would be curious to know what 134 00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:54,320 Speaker 1: he's referencing in terms of the bad stuff that's being 135 00:06:54,360 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 1: covered up. I mean, I know he mentioned you know salary, 136 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 1: you know the amount of money that they they spend 137 00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,839 Speaker 1: on players. But I just you know, I've heard a 138 00:07:04,839 --> 00:07:06,920 Speaker 1: few things because you know, I know a few people 139 00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: that are connected to the organization, and I just wonder 140 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,880 Speaker 1: I would love to hear somebody just come out and 141 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,720 Speaker 1: like Ben Roethlisberger is the type of guy, he'll come 142 00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,360 Speaker 1: out and just say it. I would love to hear 143 00:07:19,480 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: him come out and give some perspective on things right now. 144 00:07:23,120 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: And maybe he has I just might not have heard it. 145 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:31,360 Speaker 1: But you know, I do believe that times change. Everything 146 00:07:31,440 --> 00:07:35,080 Speaker 1: is destined to change. That's the only thing that's imminent 147 00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:39,280 Speaker 1: and inevitable is that things will change. Things are changing 148 00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh. And can Pittsburgh change with it to keep 149 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:47,200 Speaker 1: up with the times to continue to have the success 150 00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: that they've had historically? That would be my biggest question. 151 00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,880 Speaker 1: Can they Can they ever be the Pittsburgh Steelers that 152 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:58,720 Speaker 1: was the steel curtain type Steelers or the early nineties 153 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,160 Speaker 1: Steelers cannot ever happen and again? Or is it just 154 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: something you put that chapter of this organization to bid 155 00:08:05,200 --> 00:08:07,560 Speaker 1: and you move on into the future. Which I think 156 00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 1: is probably the most feasible way of looking at is 157 00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 1: put the bid whatever it is, go through the rough patch. 158 00:08:13,280 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: But you've got to find somebody who's going to be 159 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:19,640 Speaker 1: able to Obviously, they kept the GM, so they're going 160 00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: to have to get a coach that can work with 161 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: the GM and the G and can work with the 162 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,720 Speaker 1: coach and them build into what the future of the 163 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:26,800 Speaker 1: franchise looks like. 164 00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:29,440 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot there. I mean, to your point, 165 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 2: obviously j knows something. I mean, we can openly look 166 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,160 Speaker 2: at the contracts that they do, and in regards to 167 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:38,880 Speaker 2: being big spenders, I mean, one of the things we 168 00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 2: know they don't do is they don't put a lot 169 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 2: of cash or big signing bonuses in their deals. So 170 00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 2: that's been a frustration for agents for a long time. 171 00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:52,280 Speaker 2: That's always been the way it's been, and it's been frustrating, 172 00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 2: I'm sure for some players too. You know, is the 173 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,360 Speaker 2: truth about Mike Tomlan covering a lot of things up? Yeah? 174 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 2: I mean I think we saw some of those keys 175 00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:03,960 Speaker 2: things come to surface when Antonio Brown left, right, Like, 176 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,800 Speaker 2: we're like, oh, so this probably didn't just start happening 177 00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 2: when he got to Oakland or Las Vegas. I can't 178 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 2: remember where they were at that point in time. I 179 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,200 Speaker 2: just remember him freezing his feet in a cryo deal 180 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:17,680 Speaker 2: and then he had an issue with his helmet that 181 00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 2: it was like, what's whatever it was? And then you 182 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:24,040 Speaker 2: saw all the receivers who would leave and you're like, oh, 183 00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:27,960 Speaker 2: all right, there's there's more issues there. So I look 184 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 2: at it and say, like, I'm sure there's things he 185 00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 2: covered up. I'm sure that Pittsburgh Steelers fans are not 186 00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:38,000 Speaker 2: going to appreciate the level of consistency that he brought 187 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:41,080 Speaker 2: to that organization when you've never had a losing season 188 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 2: for that long period of time. However, this is the 189 00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:49,560 Speaker 2: new dan Age of how we look at success. It's like, 190 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 2: if you don't win a championship, you know, no one 191 00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:54,760 Speaker 2: wants to be the second that, you know, the first loser, 192 00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 2: the second place. And that ultimately is what has led 193 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,400 Speaker 2: them to make this change, because is you know, clearly 194 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,240 Speaker 2: Mike Tomlin has done a good job of getting this 195 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:07,320 Speaker 2: team to the position at least get into the playoffs. 196 00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:09,760 Speaker 2: They just haven't been able to climb back on top. 197 00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:12,120 Speaker 2: And I would argue and say a lot of that 198 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 2: went to the wayside after big men, and so their 199 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: their biggest issue has been they haven't been able to 200 00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: get the quarterback position right since then, you know, since 201 00:10:22,040 --> 00:10:24,839 Speaker 2: they had a Hall of Famer. And by the way, 202 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,560 Speaker 2: that that's tough for any organization. I mean defensively, they've 203 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 2: pretty much been there. They've been really good, you know, 204 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:34,280 Speaker 2: consistently good, and that's always been their identity. But like 205 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:38,200 Speaker 2: I would say this about their organization, people can say that, 206 00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: you know, maybe they don't spend as much in the 207 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,000 Speaker 2: way they do their contracts or even a free agency. 208 00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:48,839 Speaker 2: They haven't needed to. They've drafted and developed really, really well. 209 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 2: And they've obviously got a good, you know, strength and 210 00:10:51,840 --> 00:10:55,600 Speaker 2: development program. I don't feel like they faced too many injuries, 211 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,920 Speaker 2: I mean outside of someone puncturing teaching Watt's lungs, which 212 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:01,240 Speaker 2: might need to be looked into. So they tend to 213 00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:05,160 Speaker 2: keep most of their guys pretty healthy. So I don't know, 214 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: I mean, maybe we'll see a step back. I think 215 00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: that's a great ownership group. It's a great organization. I 216 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 2: am curious to see who takes that job and what 217 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,079 Speaker 2: that looks like in the future. But I still think 218 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,920 Speaker 2: there's a lot there. But I guess to Jay's question 219 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:23,880 Speaker 2: or to some of his point like can you win 220 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:25,920 Speaker 2: the way they have done or even what LeVar said, 221 00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:27,319 Speaker 2: can you win the way that they've done it in 222 00:11:27,400 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 2: the past. In today's NFL, where you know, you see 223 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 2: organizations that are rewarded for their spending. I mean that 224 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 2: the Rams are never a team that's afraid of spending. 225 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:38,319 Speaker 2: They have an owner with deep pockets, you know, they're 226 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:41,079 Speaker 2: an example of that. There's other ownership groups too that 227 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 2: have now started to buy these majority stakes and teams, 228 00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: and when they want to make a move, they make 229 00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,440 Speaker 2: a move and they spend the money on it. So 230 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 2: it's going to be it's gonna be interesting to see 231 00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,599 Speaker 2: if they can keep that that same level of consistency 232 00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,800 Speaker 2: or or the Steelers going to start facing some of 233 00:11:56,800 --> 00:11:59,439 Speaker 2: those really down years before they can build it back 234 00:11:59,480 --> 00:11:59,880 Speaker 2: up again. 235 00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:02,840 Speaker 3: This is what I will say. 236 00:12:04,360 --> 00:12:08,240 Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin beat cheeks up out of there, and that 237 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 1: says to me, a dude like Mike Tomlin, the intensity, 238 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:19,160 Speaker 1: the loyalty, the dedication, the leadership, the qualities that that 239 00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: man brings to the table are pretty pretty phenomenal. 240 00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 3: And he got up out of there, and we could. 241 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 1: Sit there and say, huh he got out of there 242 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,200 Speaker 1: because it's like, hey, I can't do anything else with 243 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 1: this team. I've hit my ceiling. I'm walking away. But 244 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:42,560 Speaker 1: what exactly does that mean? On the other side of it, 245 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,960 Speaker 1: I almost feel like this is like some Wizard of 246 00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:47,280 Speaker 1: Oz type stuff, like like. 247 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:54,360 Speaker 4: Oh, this is really what Pittsburgh Steelers are. Oh, peel 248 00:12:54,400 --> 00:12:55,760 Speaker 4: back to curtain.

That he listened? 341 00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:37,359 Speaker 2: I heard that, and I said that millions of people. 342 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 6: Talk to you. I don't like it when we don't 343 00:17:39,200 --> 00:17:41,000 Speaker 6: talk to you. That was Tom Brady about him. 344 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 2: Here's the weird thing is, yeah, that was like Tom 345 00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,040 Speaker 2: Brady said that millions of people heard it. And my 346 00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:49,040 Speaker 2: first thought was, like, I've said that to you on 347 00:17:49,080 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 2: a broadcast before. And at no point ever were you like, yeah, Brady, 348 00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,000 Speaker 2: like I wish I could talk to you more. You know, 349 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,880 Speaker 2: you said that to Tom, you know, he were really 350 00:17:57,880 --> 00:17:59,680 Speaker 2: excited about it. You never said that to me ever. 351 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:01,200 Speaker 2: I thought that was interesting. 352 00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,480 Speaker 6: I mean, I don't know, I just maybe it's a 353 00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,800 Speaker 6: super Bowl winning thing. I don't know. 354 00:18:06,560 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 2: Come on, he would know more than anyone else. 355 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:10,760 Speaker 3: Right. I mean, I get that. 356 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 2: I get that. I don't feel like, here's what I 357 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,560 Speaker 2: say those I don't feel like eating dinner with him 358 00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:16,760 Speaker 2: would be as good. You know, I think you and 359 00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:19,360 Speaker 2: I could sit down a nice Italian meal. I'm not 360 00:18:19,400 --> 00:18:21,600 Speaker 2: sure like he would, he'd be having like gluten free. 361 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:27,000 Speaker 6: Cred you're I definitely would the Italian meal with you. 362 00:18:27,240 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 6: I choose you over time for that. 363 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:30,080 Speaker 3: Thank you. 364 00:18:31,080 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 2: And we can have some wine and drink. You know, 365 00:18:32,880 --> 00:18:34,919 Speaker 2: I don't. I'm not He's gonna drink. He's gonna with 366 00:18:34,960 --> 00:18:36,600 Speaker 2: some avocado ice creamch It's a little different. 367 00:18:36,600 --> 00:18:37,480 Speaker 3: I hope we understand. 368 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:42,680 Speaker 1: This is a fine, but this is a fine. 369 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:48,400 Speaker 3: Wash wash, wipe your nose off, bro. I saw wow, 370 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,560 Speaker 3: that's take the fine you're taking. 371 00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: You're gonna take. That's a fine. Let's get to it. 372 00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 1: Let's get down to business. 373 00:18:57,119 --> 00:18:59,040 Speaker 3: Washing the way. Yeah, let's get. 374 00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:00,520 Speaker 2: Down to it. Dan, let's get the business. 375 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 3: Come one a d all right soon? Or was it 376 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:06,200 Speaker 3: an iron t? 377 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 6: It was an iron t. Look the catch rule and 378 00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 6: this has gone on forever. There's no perfect rule. There's 379 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:17,560 Speaker 6: always going to be controversy. And I think with with 380 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,440 Speaker 6: that play, when when the receiver like Cooks is falling 381 00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,280 Speaker 6: to the ground, whether they're diving, stumbling, whatever it is, 382 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:27,640 Speaker 6: to make the catch. They got, you got. He's got 383 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,760 Speaker 6: to hold onto it when he hits the ground like 384 00:19:29,880 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 6: when you finish hitting the ground, like when you fall, 385 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,320 Speaker 6: eventually your body stops. The momentum stops, and so when 386 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:38,280 Speaker 6: his entire body's on the ground, he's got to hold 387 00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,760 Speaker 6: on to it. To me, the ball came loose. It 388 00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,520 Speaker 6: was probably coming loose as they went to the ground, 389 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:47,840 Speaker 6: and McMillan ended up with it, and I thought it 390 00:19:47,880 --> 00:19:51,360 Speaker 6: was I thought interception. And in that situation, when it's 391 00:19:51,359 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 6: that close and the ball comes out immediately, you go 392 00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:56,639 Speaker 6: with whoever ends up with it. I did think, and 393 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 6: I thought Sean McDermott had a great point. I kind 394 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:00,920 Speaker 6: of thought it in the moment. I was like, why 395 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,719 Speaker 6: not just saw everything down, stop the game, do a 396 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,200 Speaker 6: full review, bring the referee over, go through the whole 397 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 6: process so you don't leave any doubt because I think 398 00:20:09,720 --> 00:20:13,200 Speaker 6: a lot of people aren't one hundred percent sure as 399 00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:15,320 Speaker 6: to what goes on on a play like that. Okay, 400 00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 6: there's a business business interception. Who's looking at it, who 401 00:20:18,840 --> 00:20:21,919 Speaker 6: makes the decision not to bring the referee over. I 402 00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 6: think that if they had done that, at least it 403 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:28,159 Speaker 6: might have been less controversial. It might have been some 404 00:20:28,320 --> 00:20:30,400 Speaker 6: you know, a little bit less doubt as to whether 405 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,159 Speaker 6: they actually gave it a real close thorough examination. But 406 00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,160 Speaker 6: I thought it was the right call ultimately, I. 407 00:20:37,119 --> 00:20:42,480 Speaker 1: Mean, and what there were no athletics steps made right, 408 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:46,000 Speaker 1: Like I know, there was another another play that happened 409 00:20:46,080 --> 00:20:48,720 Speaker 1: or whatever where they were using it as a comparison 410 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:53,040 Speaker 1: in terms of Adams, the Davante Adams one, Well why 411 00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: is it this? 412 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 3: Why is this one not? And why is this one? 413 00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 6: So? 414 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:01,240 Speaker 1: But Davante had taken steps like he to established steps. 415 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,640 Speaker 6: He was upright, Yeah, he was, he was. He caught 416 00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:06,000 Speaker 6: the ball up right. Then he then he completed to 417 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 6: catch them with tackled and then so at that point, 418 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:10,919 Speaker 6: and that's what I've spent time a lot of people 419 00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:14,639 Speaker 6: just explaining there's a difference between trying to catch the 420 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:19,520 Speaker 6: football and having possession being a runner, and then your 421 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,879 Speaker 6: knee touches right, if you're trying to catch it to 422 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:24,040 Speaker 6: knee doesn't matter. If you're falling to the ground, you 423 00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,200 Speaker 6: gotta hold on to it all the way. If you're 424 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 6: already a runner, with possession, then as soon as your 425 00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:30,560 Speaker 6: knee hits, you're down by contact. 426 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 3: I think that was the dis Yeah, right, that's the differentiation. 427 00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:37,080 Speaker 2: So so I kind of felt like ultimately Dean that 428 00:21:37,080 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 2: the call in the field was gonna probably rule that, 429 00:21:40,240 --> 00:21:42,239 Speaker 2: like what, like they weren't going to overtime it one 430 00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,960 Speaker 2: way or another. Is that fair to say, because because 431 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:47,479 Speaker 2: when I saw it in real time, I thought it 432 00:21:47,520 --> 00:21:50,959 Speaker 2: looked like he had more possession of it than the 433 00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:53,840 Speaker 2: defender even did. But but even if it was to 434 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:57,240 Speaker 2: be simultaneous possession, and then, like I guess I'm saying, 435 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 2: I could have saw it both ways. Like I wasn't 436 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: one of those that like one of saying, oh it 437 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,119 Speaker 2: had to be this, Like I was more. I was 438 00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:08,400 Speaker 2: more frustrated with the inconsistency of the officiating of DPI 439 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:10,920 Speaker 2: in that game. Like that's where I kind of felt 440 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,920 Speaker 2: like you could there's a few calls that weren't made 441 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:14,840 Speaker 2: that could have been made and just and then they 442 00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:16,920 Speaker 2: were made. I don't know, like how do you view 443 00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:20,040 Speaker 2: overall because these are supposed to be the best officiating crews, 444 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:22,960 Speaker 2: and it feels like even even that, like in the 445 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,080 Speaker 2: in game, there's inconsistencies and how they were calling it. 446 00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, look and I agree with you that 447 00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,720 Speaker 6: if they had called that Cooks play at catching down, 448 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,720 Speaker 6: then then it probably would have stood. They would have 449 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:35,640 Speaker 6: said it was too close to change. I do think 450 00:22:35,640 --> 00:22:38,119 Speaker 6: in that game, and I feel like, and again we 451 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,240 Speaker 6: talked about this, right the playoffs, you don't you don't 452 00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 6: officiate them differently than the regular season. But I do 453 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,400 Speaker 6: feel like I don't know if if this was actually 454 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:50,480 Speaker 6: a directive from the league, but I do feel like 455 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 6: there is more of a kind of let them play 456 00:22:52,840 --> 00:22:55,440 Speaker 6: mentality right now. And even in that game, there weren't 457 00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:57,240 Speaker 6: you know, I don't think the Broncos got called for 458 00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,040 Speaker 6: a penalty and and so you letting a lot go. 459 00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 6: And then late in the game, you know, you get 460 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,719 Speaker 6: a couple of DPI play. I thought the one, the 461 00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,040 Speaker 6: one at the end, I think it was the end 462 00:23:08,080 --> 00:23:10,639 Speaker 6: of regulation where the Bills were upset, they could have 463 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,000 Speaker 6: gotten a call. I thought that wasn't you know, that 464 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,359 Speaker 6: really wasn't ti. I didn't like the first one in 465 00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,359 Speaker 6: overtime that the Bills got called for. I think they 466 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 6: had rough in the passer on the play anyway, so 467 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 6: it would have been a first down, and then the 468 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,800 Speaker 6: last one I thought was was past in appearance. But 469 00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 6: there is a lot of downfioall contact that's going on, 470 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:32,919 Speaker 6: that's getting you know, that's let go, And it is 471 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,560 Speaker 6: that consistency that everybody's looking for that I'm just not 472 00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,200 Speaker 6: quite sure it was there in that game. 473 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,480 Speaker 4: Dean Blandino joining us here on Fox Sports Radio. What 474 00:23:40,640 --> 00:23:44,240 Speaker 4: is the thought behind not giving a coach a challenge 475 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 4: in overtime? 476 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:49,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a good that's a good question because the 477 00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 6: theory always for challenges when we went back was in 478 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:57,160 Speaker 6: the last two minutes because we had this and this 479 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:00,360 Speaker 6: was funny in ninety nine when the system came back 480 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,439 Speaker 6: and the coaches had challenges, they had these buzzers. They 481 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 6: had these pagers, and they would page the officials when 482 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,959 Speaker 6: they wanted to challenge something, and in the last two minutes, 483 00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:13,439 Speaker 6: like I remember, Steve Mariucci was like famous for this, 484 00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 6: the officials would get a page and in a very 485 00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,119 Speaker 6: opportune time for whether it was the Lions or the 486 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 6: Niners or whoever he was coaching at the time, you know, 487 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:25,200 Speaker 6: whenever they needed like a time out, they would get 488 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,960 Speaker 6: a page and the referee would go over and he'd 489 00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 6: be like, I didn't hit it. It wasn't me. And 490 00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 6: then and it's like, okay, I'm not going to call 491 00:24:31,560 --> 00:24:33,879 Speaker 6: you a liar. So you'd get you'd get basically a 492 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:36,639 Speaker 6: free timeout. So we went with the red flag to 493 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:38,960 Speaker 6: not be able to manipulate the clock. And it wasn't 494 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,000 Speaker 6: just moved and there was other coaches that did this, 495 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:43,040 Speaker 6: but he would he was just really funny about it, 496 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 6: and so it wasn't the last you mention is like 497 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,840 Speaker 6: you can't challenge something to manipulate the manipulate the clock 498 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 6: and then be like, oh, I didn't know that was reviewable. 499 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,360 Speaker 6: But then we just we just said overtime. What if 500 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 6: the team is out of challenges and you know you 501 00:24:58,960 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 6: this is extra foot all, let's do it all upstairs. 502 00:25:01,600 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 6: But but there is the thought, okay, give them an 503 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 6: once overtime starts, regardless of how many challenges you have left, 504 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 6: you would get one if you were out. And I 505 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:14,479 Speaker 6: think that that certainly, Butalo would have used it in 506 00:25:14,480 --> 00:25:17,720 Speaker 6: that situation. So I think it's something worth talking about. 507 00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:21,280 Speaker 1: Dean, will there oh sorry, no worries, Well, will there 508 00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 1: ever be a conversation at the you know meetings this 509 00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:31,880 Speaker 1: year or in the media about how egregious the holds 510 00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: are getting. It's it's I know, I ask you every 511 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,560 Speaker 1: time you come on, but it just seems like it 512 00:25:37,600 --> 00:25:41,159 Speaker 1: has to be mentioned that these defensive ends, you know, 513 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 1: even even other guys linebackers, the holds that these these 514 00:25:46,160 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 1: offensive linemen are are showing on camera and some of 515 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 1: the biggest in the DBS, and these dbs too, And 516 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 1: so you see how he's jumping in on my question, 517 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:02,840 Speaker 1: Dean just hold holding in general. Yes, but I'm I'm 518 00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 1: I'm attacking the offensive side of the ball right now, 519 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: and I'm and I'm going to stay true to that 520 00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:11,360 Speaker 1: focus and true to that purpose. Will it be addressed? 521 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: Will will the public be made aware of the fact 522 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:20,200 Speaker 1: that they are, in fact, okay with allowing these holds 523 00:26:20,320 --> 00:26:23,359 Speaker 1: the way that they are, because it's not just holding anymore. 524 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,520 Speaker 1: It's like literally beer hugging. You got your hands inside 525 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:30,160 Speaker 1: of their jerseys that you're not letting go, They're trying 526 00:26:30,200 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: to pull away. 527 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:35,240 Speaker 3: It's it's really really bad. It's really bad. 528 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:40,240 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, I agree with you. I don't think 529 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:44,359 Speaker 6: I think the the unintended consequence of that, which I 530 00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:48,680 Speaker 6: think a lot of people around the league would see 531 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,160 Speaker 6: as a positive is that it just gives the quarterback 532 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,159 Speaker 6: more time, especially in the pass game. It gives the 533 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:55,440 Speaker 6: quarterback more time to throw the ball, and it keeps them 534 00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,560 Speaker 6: protected in the gap between the defense, the DSM on 535 00:27:00,600 --> 00:27:03,160 Speaker 6: the defensive line and the offensive line. Just seems it's 536 00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:05,880 Speaker 6: never been greater. So I'm not saying that they're out 537 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 6: there going let them get away with murder, but it's happening, 538 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:11,040 Speaker 6: and I think the league, you know, and they look 539 00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 6: at major fact. Look, holding is always either one or 540 00:27:14,520 --> 00:27:17,000 Speaker 6: two in terms of number of calls made every year. 541 00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:19,240 Speaker 6: It's like holding in false starts are either one or 542 00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 6: two every year, and so they're going to look at that, 543 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,560 Speaker 6: and it just it's a matter of whether people, whether 544 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:26,919 Speaker 6: it's at the League office and the officiating department, are 545 00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 6: on the Competition Committee. And the competition Committee is in 546 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,720 Speaker 6: shambles right now because you're losing Mike Tomlin, you're losing 547 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,000 Speaker 6: Sean McDermott, you're you know, So it's going to be 548 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,439 Speaker 6: interesting to see who these new people are on the committee, 549 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,159 Speaker 6: if they see it as a problem and want to 550 00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,719 Speaker 6: take it up as a point of emphasis. I don't 551 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 6: know right now, where they're at with that. I I 552 00:27:46,080 --> 00:27:47,919 Speaker 6: you know, I'll find out, but I'm not sure if 553 00:27:47,920 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 6: there's an appetite right now to do a review of 554 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:51,680 Speaker 6: holding Diana. 555 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 2: I can't recall what Gamma was this weekend, But do 556 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,280 Speaker 2: we have a chickout from the forty? 557 00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,000 Speaker 9: I suppose that was weeks ago, that was a cop 558 00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:01,560 Speaker 9: that was that was Rams Panthers where I don't know, 559 00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,359 Speaker 9: it's a I don't know what's going on there, like, 560 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:08,119 Speaker 9: it's just the kickoff is never in the history of. 561 00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,280 Speaker 6: The NFL has never been from the forty. I know 562 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,560 Speaker 6: you could have penalties to carry out, right, that's rare, 563 00:28:13,240 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 6: So I don't know. I don't know what happened there, like. 564 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 2: But but the reason why I ask is because it 565 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 2: draws there. 566 00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 6: It's like I'm going to put the ball to forty 567 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,159 Speaker 6: and to see if anybody noticed, Like Tom, don't what 568 00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:27,040 Speaker 6: are you doing? Like, I don't know, I don't know. 569 00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,879 Speaker 2: But it draws the question of how involved is New 570 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 2: York because you know, there's not that many games going well, 571 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,800 Speaker 2: there's not that many games going on, so they have 572 00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:39,400 Speaker 2: to be watching it. And even in New York, no 573 00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 2: one who's assigned to that game to watch it is going. 574 00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:44,840 Speaker 6: There's like there's it's a playoff game, there should be 575 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,560 Speaker 6: there's there's probably too many people watching it and and yeah, 576 00:28:48,720 --> 00:28:51,480 Speaker 6: I don't I guess you just get into cruise control 577 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:53,480 Speaker 6: and you're what and you're just assuming that we're going 578 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:55,320 Speaker 6: to put the ball at the right spot to kick it. 579 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,520 Speaker 6: I don't know. Yeah, it's that one was like, could. 580 00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 2: You explain for our listeners to like just the crew 581 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,040 Speaker 2: that you have when you guys are doing games, like 582 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,640 Speaker 2: you have like multiple people watching to look for stuff 583 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 2: like in that whole little back glass bowl that you 584 00:29:12,720 --> 00:29:14,720 Speaker 2: live in basically when you're when when you guys were 585 00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: there and when Mike's there, whenever you're doing games like 586 00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 2: it's a real operation. The NFL is even bigger, right glass. 587 00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:24,960 Speaker 6: It's not Class Bowl. It's not like Bubble Boy, but 588 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:26,080 Speaker 6: it's it's a woomb. 589 00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 2: You know, you used to be bubble Boy. 590 00:29:28,680 --> 00:29:31,719 Speaker 6: I know, I know it was bubble Boy. And now 591 00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,160 Speaker 6: your Brady boy exactly time. 592 00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,160 Speaker 1: And Dan, you got to pay ten dollars fines man, 593 00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 1: ten dollars fines you. You you be washed on on 594 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,960 Speaker 1: Tom Brady ten dollars fine player. 595 00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:50,560 Speaker 6: Okay, all right, all right, so yeah, there's a team 596 00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:52,960 Speaker 6: of people. There's spotters, just like in the broadcast mooop. 597 00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:55,440 Speaker 6: You know, when you're doing a game, when the player 598 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:57,880 Speaker 6: by play the analysts, you have spotters. You have people 599 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:01,440 Speaker 6: that are looking for that stuff. And uh, and again, 600 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 6: I just think people get into like cruise control, they 601 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,360 Speaker 6: get on autopilot and and don't pick up. Didn't pick 602 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,840 Speaker 6: up the fact that we're kicking from the wrong yard line. 603 00:30:12,280 --> 00:30:18,120 Speaker 3: I mean it seems like a problem. Uh, Dean the 604 00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 3: rules analyst criticism like, okay. 605 00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 6: A lot of craziness. 606 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:25,600 Speaker 3: I don't talk all right. 607 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 4: I don't understand how whether it's you or Terry McCauley 608 00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 4: or anybody, why are you guys the ones getting the 609 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 4: heat when it's it feels like it killed a messenger 610 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:40,360 Speaker 4: type situation we have going. 611 00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:43,400 Speaker 6: On saying about about and I want people to understand 612 00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:47,920 Speaker 6: what our role is. Like my role ninety eight percent 613 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,760 Speaker 6: of what I do as a rules analyst is not 614 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,920 Speaker 6: on camera. It's not on the broadcast. And this role 615 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:58,280 Speaker 6: was was created by you know, Dave Hill at Fox Sports, 616 00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,880 Speaker 6: Mike Pereira, you know, all the studies that they did 617 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 6: at the networks where people fans enjoy the game more 618 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,840 Speaker 6: when they understand the rules. And if you ever pick 619 00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:09,840 Speaker 6: up an NFL rule book, it's bringing three hundred pages long. 620 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,600 Speaker 6: It's insane how complicated the rules can get. So they said, okay, 621 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:19,600 Speaker 6: rather than having toy Akman or or John Matt, whoever 622 00:31:19,640 --> 00:31:24,920 Speaker 6: it is, try and interpret this, this fringing encyclopedia, why 623 00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 6: not get somebody that knows the rules that we can 624 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,120 Speaker 6: use as a resource. And that's where it was came 625 00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:32,360 Speaker 6: out of and and now everybody's doing it. And so 626 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,720 Speaker 6: when I'm I'm sitting there and like I said, nineteen 627 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:38,680 Speaker 6: percent of the time, I'm just feeding Burkhart and Brady 628 00:31:38,760 --> 00:31:41,320 Speaker 6: information when there's a call, who the call is on, 629 00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 6: what they're what they're looking at. And then one or 630 00:31:43,600 --> 00:31:45,560 Speaker 6: two times a game, I come on, and I'll even 631 00:31:45,640 --> 00:31:49,400 Speaker 6: say if it's obvious, why am I going to come on? 632 00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 6: I'll just tell the producer, Hey, this is obvious. You 633 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 6: don't need me because I can come on and go, hey, 634 00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,320 Speaker 6: look everybody like you have eyes at home, the ball 635 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,760 Speaker 6: hit the ground like that's that's that's useless. So I 636 00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 6: don't ever want to do that for me. It's like, okay, 637 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:04,520 Speaker 6: can I come on and explain something. A couple of 638 00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:07,520 Speaker 6: weeks ago, flag pick up for an eligible downfield. A 639 00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:09,360 Speaker 6: lot of people didn't know the rule. Okay, if you 640 00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:11,440 Speaker 6: engage within a yard, you can be more than a 641 00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:13,880 Speaker 6: yard downfield when the past is thrown. So I think 642 00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,680 Speaker 6: that's where and we just get a lot of crap, 643 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 6: which is fine because sometimes, oh, you just agree with 644 00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:22,480 Speaker 6: the officials every time, like no, like I'm not, I don't. 645 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:26,480 Speaker 6: I'm going to give my own opinion, and I agree 646 00:32:26,520 --> 00:32:28,920 Speaker 6: with the officials more often than not because they're right 647 00:32:29,040 --> 00:32:31,880 Speaker 6: more often than not. But it's just that's the way 648 00:32:31,880 --> 00:32:34,680 Speaker 6: it goes. And so people are upset.
