1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:05,800
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio. Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

2
00:00:06,040 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 2: It is another Fox Football Saturday, boy is it. I'm

3
00:00:10,039 --> 00:00:12,959
Speaker 2: your host, Karmen Vitally and I have Tracy Sandler with

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: me today, Who's Dodgers have one yet another World Series.

5
00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:19,799
Speaker 2: So I feel like I don't even really have to

6
00:00:19,840 --> 00:00:20,640
Speaker 2: ask you how you are.

7
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:21,000
Speaker 3: Trace.

8
00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 4: I am absolutely fantastic. What a series. It was just

9
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:29,360
Speaker 4: fabulous one week ago today and I have been floating

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 4: ever since.

11
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,960
Speaker 2: I want to get the full rundown. I want to

12
00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:35,400
Speaker 2: get the full story. I want to know where you

13
00:00:35,479 --> 00:00:38,519
Speaker 2: were when they want it. I want to know your reaction.

14
00:00:39,159 --> 00:00:42,479
Speaker 2: But first we need to talk about what just happened

15
00:00:42,960 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 2: in Indiana Penn State, because good God, that catch was

16
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,360
Speaker 2: to win the game.

17
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 1: I mean, this is what happens. You let a team

18
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:54,040
Speaker 1: like Penn.

19
00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:57,200
Speaker 2: State, you know, they fire James Franklin, they're on the ropes,

20
00:00:57,240 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 2: they've got seemingly nothing to play for. Indiana's nine and

21
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 2: oh they're coming in. You're expecting a curb stopping. They

22
00:01:04,680 --> 00:01:09,240
Speaker 2: let Penn State hang around, and sure enough they they

23
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 2: take the lead and with like four minutes left, Indiana

24
00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:15,040
Speaker 2: gets stopped and they have to pump the ball back

25
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: to Penn State, and then Fernando Mendoza does banda Mendoza things,

26
00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,919
Speaker 2: an incredible throw from outside the end zone like almost

27
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 2: like a honestly, it was like a basketball shot.

28
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 4: And this is the thing. When you let the team

29
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 4: hang around, inevitably they will do things like that and

30
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 4: win the game. We've seen it's a tail as old

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,760
Speaker 4: as time. We see it in every sport. If you

32
00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 4: can't finish it and shut it down, this is what

33
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,039
Speaker 4: happens big. That's a big shake up in the college

34
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:43,920
Speaker 4: football world today.

35
00:01:45,080 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: This is it's just it's it's incredible what Indiana has

36
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:50,760
Speaker 2: been able to do, what Kurtzignetti has been able to do.

37
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 2: Omar Cooper Junior is the one that made the catch

38
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,640
Speaker 2: in the end zone to seal it and to for Indiana,

39
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 2: and it's just like it's one of those things where

40
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:02,600
Speaker 2: you didn't even know if it was in bounds and

41
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:05,040
Speaker 2: he gets the toe tap that would have been NFLAF.

42
00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,440
Speaker 4: The tow taf is there. I'm sorry, Is there any

43
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 4: better thing in catching than the toe tap?

44
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,720
Speaker 1: No, it is. It is.

45
00:02:11,840 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 2: It is a ballet move and it is so incredibly athletic.

46
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 2: The amount of control body control something like that takes

47
00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Speaker 2: and at first you're like, did he even get in? Yes, okay,

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,519
Speaker 2: he got in, all right? Did he get like he

49
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,600
Speaker 2: got one foot down?

50
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: But then when you look at the replay.

51
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: I reposted it on my Twitter because it would have

52
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 2: been NFL caught like he got he tapped both toes

53
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,040
Speaker 2: and it was It was just incredible. So Indiana kind

54
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 2: to know, I mean.

55
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 3: Are they winning?

56
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 4: Are they gonna win the national championship?

57
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 1: We need to start taking these guys here. I get it.

58
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,359
Speaker 2: Like I said, you know, Penn State was coming in there,

59
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 2: had nothing to play for, and it was stressful. It

60
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,880
Speaker 2: was not the handling of a team like that that

61
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: you would that you wanted out of Indiana, but again,

62
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 2: college football, it's you know, anything can happen. And at

63
00:02:57,639 --> 00:02:59,160
Speaker 2: the end of the day, Indiana pulled it out and

64
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:02,480
Speaker 2: there are ten and know they are undefeated, and I

65
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 2: feel like every other win that Indiana has had this

66
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,120
Speaker 2: year though, has been extremely convincing. So I'm like, Okay,

67
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,600
Speaker 2: every good team ends up losing a game that they shouldn't.

68
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 2: They should should they avoided it, but they avoided it,

69
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,799
Speaker 2: so they didn't even happen.

70
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:17,720
Speaker 1: End up losing it.

71
00:03:17,760 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 2: So I've been taking Indiana seriously for the last few weeks,

72
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 2: but I understand that not as many people.

73
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 4: So they bucked the tale as old as time. I

74
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: feel like it's a more It's honestly kind of a

75
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 4: not to get traumatic signature victory, because normally that is

76
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,240
Speaker 4: what happens. The team hangs around and then you lose

77
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 4: in some dramatic, sad fashion. We should have finished off.

78
00:03:37,600 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 4: But when you show that you can keep going and

79
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 4: win these kind of games, these are the games that

80
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 4: say to me, you're for real. Indiana is a very

81
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:46,800
Speaker 4: good football team. They have been for a couple of

82
00:03:46,840 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 4: years now, but they should be very deep in the conversation, God,

83
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 4: I love college football so much.

84
00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:55,400
Speaker 2: True Signaty took over before last season mm hmm, both

85
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 2: of his He has now had ten win seasons in

86
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:01,320
Speaker 2: both of his years as head coach coach of Indiana football.

87
00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 2: Indiana had never had a ten win season before that.

88
00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 4: No, I don't think I never that never.

89
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:09,560
Speaker 2: Never, never. They had never had a ten win season.

90
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 2: They're a basketball.

91
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:13,960
Speaker 4: Schools Oh, this brings up a great conversation that I've

92
00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:17,159
Speaker 4: had with many of my colleagues. Can you be both

93
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 4: a basketball and a football school, and I think and

94
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: Martin is pointing that Michigan is both a football and

95
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 4: a basketball school, but there are those that disagree you're

96
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:26,000
Speaker 4: one or the other.

97
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 2: Well, the number two team in the country is Indiana,

98
00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 2: and Indiana has historically had a very good basketball program.

99
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,479
Speaker 2: That's what they're known for, the Hoosiers. There's a whole

100
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,160
Speaker 2: movie about it.

101
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 4: Correct, that's true.

102
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 1: But if you're the number two.

103
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,920
Speaker 2: Team in the country, second to only Ohio State, I

104
00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:44,440
Speaker 2: mean we have to start talking like you need like

105
00:04:44,680 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: they're going to make some noise in the playoffs and

106
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: they're going to be battle tested because of games like this,

107
00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:51,240
Speaker 2: So we love that for Indiana. I I have so

108
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:54,040
Speaker 2: many friends growing up in the Midwest, being in Chicago.

109
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:56,839
Speaker 2: I cannot stress you how many Indiana people we have,

110
00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 2: how many Hoosiers we have here, and how many very

111
00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:02,479
Speaker 2: good friends of mine are Hoosiers. In fact, the next

112
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 2: show after ours, Buck and Fits Buck Rising in fact

113
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: himself a Hoosier. So it's just it's it's it's fun

114
00:05:09,400 --> 00:05:13,400
Speaker 2: for them. I'm happy for them. Yeah, it's just it's

115
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:15,400
Speaker 2: I love college football for that reason. I wish we

116
00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 2: could I wish we could watch all of it, and

117
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: we're going to get to that, believe me, because I've

118
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 2: got some grievances to air.

119
00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 3: Oh it's a festivus.

120
00:05:22,800 --> 00:05:23,080
Speaker 5: Oh.

121
00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 4: I love agrievance.

122
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 1: We love agrievance.

123
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 2: I let anyway, I want to get back to the

124
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: World Series very briefly before we start talking football, because Tracy,

125
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:33,839
Speaker 2: you are such a huge Dodgers fan.

126
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 3: I am.

127
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:37,000
Speaker 1: You've been a season ticket holder what your entire life?

128
00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 4: Yep, long before me. My grandparents bought the tickets in

129
00:05:40,120 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 4: the stadium open, so predates me.

130
00:05:42,680 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 2: You are an og Dodger fan. Correct, And I feel

131
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 2: like there's not a whole lot of people that can

132
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 2: say that. So what is what? Where were you when

133
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:50,360
Speaker 2: this happened?

134
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:50,640
Speaker 6: So?

135
00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:52,320
Speaker 4: I was in New York because I was covering the

136
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 4: Fourniters Giants game. So I was watching at a sports

137
00:05:56,520 --> 00:06:00,599
Speaker 4: bar with our good friend Keanu martin Kiana, and the

138
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,520
Speaker 4: sixth inning, I take it a red eye, And before

139
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,280
Speaker 4: I started, the red eye started to hit me and

140
00:06:04,320 --> 00:06:05,560
Speaker 4: I said, you know, I'm going to head back to

141
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:07,880
Speaker 4: my hotel and watch the rest of the last few

142
00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 4: games of last few innings from there. And I think

143
00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:14,160
Speaker 4: it actually worked out well, because when I did that,

144
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 4: things started to change, which obviously wasn't because of the players,

145
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 4: but because I changed those locations. Obviously, the only conclusion

146
00:06:22,279 --> 00:06:25,080
Speaker 4: to draw the thing is you can't tell me. That's

147
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:26,920
Speaker 4: not why. You just can't tell me. It is why,

148
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 4: for sure, But I'm I'm willing to accept it. The

149
00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:31,720
Speaker 4: only thing that's sad about that is that when mcguil

150
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: Rojas hit the home run, there's no one there to

151
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: witness my reaction, which was.

152
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 2: Did you like putting your did you set your phone

153
00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: up and like record it or anything?

154
00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,600
Speaker 4: No, because I have a superstition about stuff like that.

155
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 4: So once Max Munsey hit the home run to put

156
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,359
Speaker 4: them within one, I put my phone away. So in

157
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 4: a game like that, in case anybody hasn't noticed some

158
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,880
Speaker 4: super superstitious and a game like that, when they're starting

159
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:58,160
Speaker 4: to come back, I put my phone away because I

160
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:02,039
Speaker 4: don't want to be getting everyone's messages and thoughts and

161
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 4: all that and getting in my head because it's obviously

162
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:06,279
Speaker 4: my head that will make the difference. So I did

163
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 4: not record it, and I frankly did not expect it.

164
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 4: It was not a moment where I was like I

165
00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,960
Speaker 4: should probably record this because Miguel Rojas is going to

166
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 4: hit a game time I run here, that's true, and

167
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 4: I'm so happy he did. And it was I did

168
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,520
Speaker 4: record myself after the game and posted it and I

169
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 4: was crying, which, you know, what should make fun of

170
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 4: me that it's okay.

171
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 3: I was so happy.

172
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:28,800
Speaker 2: You know, this is kind of a weird kismet little moment.

173
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:33,040
Speaker 2: When the Blackhawks won their won the Stanley Cup in

174
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 2: twenty thirteen, I was actually interning for the Dodgers and

175
00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:39,160
Speaker 2: they won. There was a seventeen second game against the

176
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 2: Boston Bruins and they won that Cup while I was

177
00:07:43,800 --> 00:07:47,000
Speaker 2: working a game, and they won it at a time

178
00:07:47,040 --> 00:07:48,480
Speaker 2: when the game had just ended, and so I had

179
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:50,640
Speaker 2: to go downstairs at the clubhouse to like hand out

180
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:51,160
Speaker 2: stats and.

181
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:53,080
Speaker 1: Do you know, my postgame duties or whatever.

182
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: And I got in the elevator and I had tears

183
00:07:56,720 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: streaming down my face. And the wonderful elevator tendant, who

184
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: I knew very well, she just looks at me.

185
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: She's like, honey, what's wrong? And someone do something to you?

186
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: And I was like, no, the black Hawks just want

187
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 1: to Stanley Cup again.

188
00:08:08,760 --> 00:08:11,240
Speaker 2: And I was just like tears, just and I had

189
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 2: like red lipstick on that day, I think because of

190
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,360
Speaker 2: the black Hawks and like it was just all I

191
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:17,880
Speaker 2: was such a mess in like trying to just like

192
00:08:17,960 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 2: hand out stats.

193
00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 3: It's amazing at Dodger Stadium, which.

194
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 4: Is kind of fun, and sports people understand there's something.

195
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 4: There's something about it. And I think with baseball, stay

196
00:08:27,600 --> 00:08:30,320
Speaker 4: with hockey, the seasons are so long that it's just

197
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:33,599
Speaker 4: I feel like baseball excitement is the best excitement and

198
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 4: baseball pain is the worst pain.

199
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's like I just put in all of

200
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:41,360
Speaker 2: that investment and effort in watching an entire season and

201
00:08:41,400 --> 00:08:42,160
Speaker 2: then it's like for.

202
00:08:42,200 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 4: What and now I miss them. I go home and

203
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 4: I'm like, where where are my Dodgers?

204
00:08:47,200 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: Believe me, pictures and catchers reporting is just right around

205
00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: the corner.

206
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 4: You are correct, right around the corner.

207
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:58,320

Speaker 2: All right, since it is Fox Football Saturday, we need

216
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 2: to get to a little bit of football before we

217
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:24,160
Speaker 2: have to take a break here, and I want to

218
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,679
Speaker 2: talk very briefly, and this can just be I mean,

219
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,480
Speaker 2: this is a this is a succinct answer for both

220
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 2: of us, Tracy, what is the best division in football

221
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 2: right now?

222
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 4: I have two?

223
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,560
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, but not so succinct.

224
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 4: No, it's I think it's succinct. I think it's the

225
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,560
Speaker 4: I would say NFC West and NFC North.

226
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,719
Speaker 2: Okay, Yeah, I honestly I kind of figured that you

227
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: would say the NFC West and then I would say

228
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,360
Speaker 2: the NFC North, given those are the divisions that we've

229
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:51,400
Speaker 2: covered with the closest on a division basis. But I

230
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 2: also think that that's true, Like I think it's and

231
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:55,400
Speaker 2: I think I think the AFC West can sneak in

232
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:59,000
Speaker 2: there a little bit. But it's interesting because going into

233
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,720
Speaker 2: this season, you know kind of thought it was going

234
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,719
Speaker 2: to be both of the North's. Yeah, great, you thought

235
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:04,920
Speaker 2: it was AFC and NFC North. And you know, the

236
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:07,760
Speaker 2: NFC North has rang true. It's separated by a game

237
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,960
Speaker 2: and a half. Green Bay has a half game lead

238
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:16,920
Speaker 2: over both Detroit and Chicago. I'm not I'm not going

239
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 2: to say I necessarily you know, called it. I talked

240
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 2: about how I talked about how otwisk I was about

241
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:24,840
Speaker 2: the Bears, and I also talked about how this was

242
00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 2: not going to be a division that it was going

243
00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:28,640
Speaker 2: to take fifteen wins to win again. And if it

244
00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 2: was only going to take eleven or twelve wins to

245
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:32,240
Speaker 2: win this division, then every single one of these teams

246
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,520
Speaker 2: is capable of that. And that's kind of I think

247
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:38,040
Speaker 2: what we're seeing, even Minnesota, you know, provided J. J.

248
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: McCarthy can pull it together and stay healthy. I mean,

249
00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: the offensive line injuries are really bugging me either.

250
00:10:44,679 --> 00:10:45,679
Speaker 4: It's problematic.

251
00:10:46,040 --> 00:10:46,719
Speaker 1: So many of.

252
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,600
Speaker 2: These teams have so many injuries that make me just

253
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:52,600
Speaker 2: like uneasy about it. Like Detroit is the same way.

254
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,839
Speaker 2: They've injuries all along their defensive secondary again, and then

255
00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 2: all along their offensive line. They lost Christian Mahogany for

256
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 2: a long yeariod of time, Brooke a bone, and both

257
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 2: like both tackles are dealing with injuries, and you know

258
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:07,680
Speaker 2: that's the strength of that team. So how much do

259
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 2: I trust them? I don't know Packers are Jekyll and Hydes.

260
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 4: It's they're so weird.

261
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,679
Speaker 1: They're so weird, they're so weird.

262
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,839
Speaker 4: So bizarre. Like one week I'm like, you know, Jordan

263
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:19,080
Speaker 4: love really he does not get enough credit. And then

264
00:11:19,120 --> 00:11:20,840
Speaker 4: the next week I'm like, yeah, I don't. I don't

265
00:11:20,880 --> 00:11:23,080
Speaker 4: love this for Jordan. I did that on purpose, that pun,

266
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:26,240
Speaker 4: by the way, And I just don't understand them. They

267
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 4: are very they're a very weird team. But I feel

268
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,480
Speaker 4: like so many teams are weird, but right now it's

269
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 4: a weird.

270
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:34,360
Speaker 2: It's a weird year in general. And I mean there's

271
00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:37,920
Speaker 2: I think there's examples of that. Nancy West, Yeah, oh

272
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 2: for sure. What am I supposed to do with the Cardinals?

273
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 4: Nobody knows, even the Cardinals. They they nobody really knows

274
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 4: what to do with them because every week it's it's

275
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,320
Speaker 4: just a different it's a different story every week. But

276
00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, as Jacoby Brisset, the Cardinals savior, the words

277
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 4: I didn't think I was going to say this season,

278
00:11:57,080 --> 00:12:00,760
Speaker 4: or perhaps ever in my entire life. It's very interesting.

279
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 4: These next two months are obviously the months that and

280
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 4: we know that, like really team separate themselves but like,

281
00:12:07,160 --> 00:12:09,079
Speaker 4: are these Cardinals going to do the opposite of what

282
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 4: they've done in the past, which is be really good

283
00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:13,960
Speaker 4: the first two months and then just total downfall? Are

284
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,920
Speaker 4: they going to do It's really hard to say.

285
00:12:16,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Well, I guess it depends on Jacoby Presette.

286
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 4: Yes, the Savior who Knew.

287
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:21,319
Speaker 1: And Armon Bride.

288
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 4: I love Tarick Bride and Will Johnson because goblu.

289
00:12:24,440 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, No.

290
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 2: I mean, like it's like I like Gannon's scheme too,

291
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 2: like defensively, and I just I don't know. It's one

292
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,840
Speaker 2: of those things where I'm like, there there are good

293
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:39,920
Speaker 2: bones there, but like can they whatever? But then I

294
00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,640
Speaker 2: mean the Rams, I still think are that's their division.

295
00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:46,160
Speaker 2: And the Niners, I mean, you cover the team closer

296
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: than anybody does.

297
00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:52,600
Speaker 4: I would say the Niners, I think that the amount

298
00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 4: of injuries are going to start really taking their toll

299
00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 4: in the next two months is my you know. I

300
00:12:58,160 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 4: think they've been able to kind of make it work,

301
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 4: but these it's it's not sustainable. You cannot lose Fred

302
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 4: Warner and both, so that would be enough, Like if

303
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 4: you had just lost Fred Werner and Nick Bosa, but

304
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: you also have and I think Max Jones is doing

305
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 4: an incredible job, so this is taking nothing away from him,

306
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,600
Speaker 4: but they've been without their starting quarterback the vast majority

307
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:21,680
Speaker 4: of the season. Ricky Piersall, with this knee injury, has

308
00:13:21,720 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 4: not played in weeks and it's apparently not healing how

309
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,719
Speaker 4: they thought it was. It's not a setback, but at

310
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 4: this point, I believe this will be his sixth game

311
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:34,160
Speaker 4: that he will not play, and we are also assuming

312
00:13:34,200 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 4: there won't be more injuries. And by the way, I

313
00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 4: think these guys will play tomorrow, but you have de

314
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:41,120
Speaker 4: Winters and Tatum Bethune Tata bothun who's stepping in for

315
00:13:41,160 --> 00:13:45,000
Speaker 4: Fred Warner. They're both questionable for tomorrow. Rice Hife Huff

316
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 4: is coming back, but then they alson Niners lost Mikel

317
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 4: Williams last year. I mean, it's just not sustainable. It's

318
00:13:49,920 --> 00:13:52,520
Speaker 4: not stopped, yeah, and it's non stop. So I just

319
00:13:52,559 --> 00:13:56,400
Speaker 4: feel like they they'll contend, they'll be competitive, they may

320
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:58,319
Speaker 4: even sneak into the playoff, but it's just this is

321
00:13:58,360 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 4: not sustainable the next couple.

322
00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 2: Of months, and especially when I mean to get to

323
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:03,240
Speaker 2: get that division, you're gonna have to go past the

324
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 2: rank and Seattle is good to Seattle is good too,

325
00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold. We love to see it. We love to

326
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:13,520
Speaker 2: see a reclamation project that that that sticks. And and

327
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 2: you know that defense under Mike McDonald's has gotten a lot,

328
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 2: Like you can tell they're more comfortable this year.

329
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:20,800
Speaker 1: And it's just it. It's a good overall team.

330
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 4: Yeah it is. And then it means I have to say,

331
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:24,880
Speaker 4: goblu I do.

332
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 2: Of course, I do want to give a little bit

333
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: of a shout out, I guess to the AFC.

334
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:33,400
Speaker 1: I want to AFC East sort of. I just want

335
00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:34,920
Speaker 1: to give a shout out basically.

336
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 2: To the New England Patriots because they're making it. They're

337
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 2: making it tough on the Buffalo Bills right now, and

338
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,520
Speaker 2: I love it. I think that when the Bills and

339
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,240
Speaker 2: the Pats are good, that division, it's so much fun.

340
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 2: It's so much fun in that conference in general. And

341
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 2: I love Drake Drake. It's been my boy since he

342
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 2: came out. He was my like draft crush. I wanted

343
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: to see the Vikings execute that trade to go get him,

344
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: but New England very smartly was like, nah, no, he's

345
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: our guy, and he is he is everything they thought

346
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,320
Speaker 2: he was going to be. All Right, we are going

347
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:10,040
Speaker 2: to talk a little State of the Industry next, because,

348
00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:12,280

375
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:31,920
Speaker 2: Sorry, this is one of the head banging like this

376
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: is one of those head bangers where yes, like you

377
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 2: can't you can't help, but just kind of like nod

378
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 2: your head.

379
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:38,120

00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:39,400
Speaker 3: I love it.

381
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: I love it too, and it's angry, which is kind

382
00:16:45,640 --> 00:16:46,200
Speaker 2: of what I am.

383
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 4: Yes, the tracks for where we're going next.

384
00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:51,920
Speaker 2: The track's worth where we're going next, because I want

385
00:16:51,960 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 2: to talk about.

386
00:16:54,480 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 1: Tracy.

387
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:58,800
Speaker 2: We have reverse engineered cable and made it worse.

388
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 4: Which is, by the way, not an easy thing to do.

389
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 2: No, because I mean, do you like I'm old enough

390
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,600
Speaker 2: to remember how desperate I was with how expensive cable

391
00:17:06,680 --> 00:17:08,639
Speaker 2: was getting and how I didn't have it, or I like,

392
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:10,600
Speaker 2: you know, especially if you lived in a certain apartment

393
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 2: complex and you could only get certain carriers, and like

394
00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 2: you were stuck paying this money and this that the other.

395
00:17:15,320 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, it was a flawed system. Yes, I will

396
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 2: admit it was a flawed system. And then like you know,

397
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:23,720
Speaker 2: Netflix moves from actual DVDs. Yes, they came in the

398
00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,680
Speaker 2: mailbox and they were actual DVDs people.

399
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:28,600
Speaker 4: And you had to return them the red box.

400
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 2: The right you can go to the red box, which

401
00:17:30,560 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 2: was like the mobile Blockbusters, which kids these days know

402
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 2: nothing about.

403
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:34,800
Speaker 3: No, they do not.

404
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 2: But like there was an early period where like, okay,

405
00:17:37,960 --> 00:17:40,600
Speaker 2: so Netflix becomes a streaming platform and now, oh my gosh,

406
00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:42,520
Speaker 2: there's so many of these cool things that are now

407
00:17:42,520 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: available to you at the touch of a button, like

408
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 2: you know, more than anybody's DVD library could ever hold.

409
00:17:47,480 --> 00:17:49,399
Speaker 2: And you're just like okay, and like you don't have

410
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 2: to DVR and like fill up your TVO with like

411
00:17:53,440 --> 00:17:55,840
Speaker 2: all of these things that you're recording off of cable

412
00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 2: and you know, having to shuffle that and manage the

413
00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 2: storage space and this that the other. And so there

414
00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,000
Speaker 2: was like a little bit of a golden period in

415
00:18:03,119 --> 00:18:05,640
Speaker 2: the early aughts of the streaming where we were like, Okay,

416
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: this is great, Like it's a whole other program. I

417
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,040
Speaker 2: don't have to deal with the library thing. It's just

418
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: there on demand when I want it. And now fast forward,

419
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 2: it's like that meme where it's the dominoes. They just

420
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,760
Speaker 2: get bigger and bigger and bigger, and it starts with

421
00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,280
Speaker 2: something that's like very innocuous and then like it ends

422
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 2: up with something just like complete. Well, the big domino

423
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,440
Speaker 2: now is that it seems like every other maybe every

424
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:33,639
Speaker 2: six months, we deal with a major network blackout on

425
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:39,000
Speaker 2: a major streaming service or a major TV service. So, like,

426
00:18:39,119 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: I personally have YouTube TV because this year Sunday Ticket

427
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:47,360
Speaker 2: was available only exclusively.

428
00:18:46,800 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: On YouTube TV.

429
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 2: And I need to watch every game every week for

430
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:54,159
Speaker 2: my job, so I need to be able to do that.

431
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 2: And if you're telling me YouTube TV is where I

432
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:58,560
Speaker 2: need to go so that I can see every football

433
00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 2: game that I need to see for work, then that

434
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:02,320
Speaker 2: is what I will do.

435
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: Happy with YouTube TV. You know they have the quad box.

436
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it's nice. It's very nice.

437
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:11,359
Speaker 2: It's nice set up, the user interface is good, this,

438
00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 2: that the other, and then bam, Halloween comes scary time,

439
00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:19,160
Speaker 2: just in time. I mean, I happen to have Disney

440
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 2: Plus two so I could still watch hocus.

441
00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,760
Speaker 4: Pocus, but thank goodness for that.

442
00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:28,520
Speaker 2: A carriage dispute between Disney and YouTube TV that started

443
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 2: October thirty first Halloween has blocked over eight million subscribers

444
00:19:33,960 --> 00:19:38,840
Speaker 2: from Disney ESPN, ABC and all other channel channels under

445
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 2: that umbrella. And so now when I'm going to watch

446
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,400
Speaker 2: my quad box on YouTube TV on college football Saturday,

447
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,919
Speaker 2: like I did today, like I did last week, the

448
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 2: options are so incredibly depressing that I am.

449
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,080
Speaker 1: Just I'm like, what are we doing? What are we doing?

450
00:19:57,320 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 2: I pay for YouTube TV, I I pay for Disney

451
00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:03,919
Speaker 2: Plus and Hulu and all of those other like whatever.

452
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:06,239
Speaker 2: I have like every single streaming service because you have

453
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 2: to now because now there's games that are like exclusively

454
00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 2: on Peacock and exclusively on this one, exclusively on that one.

455
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 2: I now have yearn for the days of cable. I'm like, man,

456
00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,639
Speaker 2: I would pay whatever. At this point, just did not

457
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 2: have to deal with this. And I realized that when

458
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: people had cable, like there were cable disputes and too,

459
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:28,200
Speaker 2: like I remember like Comcast had stuff with whoever and whatever, but.

460
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 7: There were cable disputes, but they got solved pretty yes.

461
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,480
Speaker 4: On day eight of.

462
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,760
Speaker 2: Like the second college football Saturday, the second like we

463
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 2: couldn't watch Monday night football last week?

464
00:20:41,200 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: Oh what is happening? Like, like you.

465
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:48,719
Speaker 4: Didn't get to see Jacobe Brissette rise. That's very I did.

466
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,440
Speaker 2: I had to follow along the little thoughts on my computer,

467
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,240
Speaker 2: and I'm just like, this is not worth it, first

468
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,919
Speaker 2: of all for like you know, certain game whatever, but

469
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:59,120
Speaker 2: like I am just I'm so tired of these companies

470
00:20:59,160 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 2: not being able to figure out. And then it's like

471
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:02,760
Speaker 2: you have to like macafeated a whole thing, and like

472
00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:06,239
Speaker 2: I'm not the hugest fan, but like it's like one

473
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 2: of those things where like the worst person, you know,

474
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 2: it makes a great point fair, And he was just like,

475
00:21:11,640 --> 00:21:13,639
Speaker 2: I'm not going to a website. I'm not solving this

476
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:16,159
Speaker 2: for you. I'm not going to input my information and

477
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,680
Speaker 2: go to some website and tell you know, YouTube TV

478
00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:23,720
Speaker 2: to put ESPN. No, that's not my responsibility. That's y'all's responsibility.

479
00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 4: One thousand percent. It's one thousand percent. It is certainly

480
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,720
Speaker 4: not the viewer's responsibility. And I agree with him on

481
00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 4: that because I saw the things during the week of

482
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:37,680
Speaker 4: make sure to go here and feel no, no, I'm

483
00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,320
Speaker 4: not doing that. I'm not that's that's that seems like

484
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 4: a you problem. You've now made it a me problem.

485
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,359
Speaker 4: So I prefers not to use your platform.

486
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:48,159
Speaker 2: Right, But I'm like, but you you've made me use

487
00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:50,239
Speaker 2: your platform because it's the only way that I can

488
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:53,160
Speaker 2: get Sunday ticket and so you lure me in with that,

489
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,879
Speaker 2: only to then block out Monday Night Football, which has

490
00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:01,639
Speaker 2: been an institution for general rations of sports fans at

491
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 2: this point.

492
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,120
Speaker 1: I mean that used to not even be on cable.

493
00:22:04,119 --> 00:22:05,919
Speaker 2: That was always just like that was like on ABC

494
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,560
Speaker 2: or whatever, like you could just turn on you didn't

495
00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 2: even have to have cable to watch Monday night football.

496
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: That's why Monday Night Football became an institution. And now

497
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,879
Speaker 2: you can't. You can have every streaming service in the world,

498
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,119
Speaker 2: Like between my fiance and I, we have literally all

499
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:20,639
Speaker 2: of them.

500
00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 4: Because you have to have all of them, which in

501
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,840
Speaker 4: itself is an issue. Is an issue, maybe a conversation

502
00:22:24,880 --> 00:22:27,200
Speaker 4: for another time, but that in itself is an issue.

503
00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:30,680
Speaker 2: It is, And I like, we now just pay incremental

504
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 2: like I don't even want to know what I pay

505
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,320
Speaker 2: per month like with all of the services and stuff like,

506
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:38,760
Speaker 2: because it's just you know, it's like ten bucks here,

507
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 2: twenty bucks here. YouTube TV is like I don't know,

508
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,960
Speaker 2: seventy something dollars a month or eighty dollars a month,

509
00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,840
Speaker 2: Like I guarantee you it adds up to whatever I

510
00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:47,639
Speaker 2: was paying for cable.

511
00:22:48,040 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 4: Oh I'm sure, how could it not. There's so many services.

512
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,040
Speaker 2: But even if we went back to cable, like again,

513
00:22:53,080 --> 00:22:56,640
Speaker 2: there's games that are like that are exclusively on Netflix. Now,

514
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 2: there's games that are exclusively on Peacock or like whatever.

515
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: So it's like, I wouldn't even solve everything to just

516
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:02,080
Speaker 1: go back to cable.

517
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,960
Speaker 4: No, it wouldn't really at this point, We're too far gone.

518
00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:05,720
Speaker 1: We're too far gone.

519
00:23:05,760 --> 00:23:08,120
Speaker 4: What would solve everything is if everybody could just kind

520
00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 4: of figure it out so that the viewers and consumers

521
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 4: are not the ones who are suffering for this right

522
00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 4: or the ones.

523
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:18,639
Speaker 2: That are like being told that they're the ones that

524
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:22,119
Speaker 2: need to fix it. Stop stop y'all make billions.

525
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 4: Just stop, figure it out.

526
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:25,879
Speaker 2: Figure it out, all right. I just I wanted to

527
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:27,760
Speaker 2: air those grievances because I've been no.

528
00:23:27,760 --> 00:23:29,560
Speaker 4: And I don't think you're alone. A lot of people

529
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 4: feel that way, and I think you are correct. So

530
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:34,560
Speaker 4: I'm glad you did air those grievances. And I feel

531
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:39,359
Speaker 4: like our listeners are probably given like you, amen, let's go.

532
00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: I'm big mad, we should all be big mad, and

533
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:43,920
Speaker 2: good lord, this better get I better not miss another

534
00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:44,560
Speaker 2: college football.

535
00:23:44,560 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 4: We better not be talking about this next week.

536
00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:47,840
Speaker 2: No, if we're talking about this next week, it's going

537
00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 2: to be a lot worse than y'all are going to

538
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:51,720
Speaker 2: have to, like, you know, put me on a delay.

539
00:23:52,760 --> 00:23:55,720
Speaker 2: Lord knows, I'm already not that great and the producers

540
00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:56,960
Speaker 2: have to be on their toes when it comes to me.

541
00:23:57,960 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 2: But someone who is on his toes are on always

542
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: kept on his toes by these scores, as Martin wise break.

543
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 8: You know, Carmen, I know that you have NFL. Do

544
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 8: you have to have NFL plus right for the All

545
00:24:09,680 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 8: twenty two?

546
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: Yeah? I do.

547
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 8: So here's a tricky little work around for primetime games.

548
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 8: If you download the NFL Fantasy app right.

549
00:24:19,560 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 5: And you want to.

550
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: Download another app.

551
00:24:21,520 --> 00:24:25,879
Speaker 8: Listen, Martin, I understand your frustration. However, I'm trying to

552
00:24:25,880 --> 00:24:28,879
Speaker 8: be solution oriented in this moment for you, because I

553
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 8: know you already had.

554
00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 4: The Michigan man right there.

555
00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:38,080
Speaker 10: Mich with that, I was like, I was like, I'm sorry,

556
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 10: you worry you this. You can watch the game. I

557
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 10: feel you. I get mine the scheme mask play.

558
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 2: So I mean, that's what I wasn't gonna say that,

559
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:48,360
Speaker 2: but that's what we That's what we did.

560
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,000
Speaker 8: Listen, there's a there's an active black market out there

561
00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:53,800
Speaker 8: and you're restricted.

562
00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: Its maskway. I like that. That that was not I mean, yeah,

563
00:24:57,800 --> 00:24:59,119
Speaker 1: that was us on our laptops.

564
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:00,639
Speaker 5: So if you don't want to out of the NFL

565
00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 5: fantasy route.

566
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 2: But I just I shouldn't have to, Martin, Okay.

567
00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:04,159
Speaker 1: That's my points.

568
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,679
Speaker 5: I fundamentally and wholeheartedly agree with you.

569
00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,359
Speaker 8: My friend's all minutes left in the first half for

570
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 8: Texas and m and Missouri. The third ranked Aggie's lead

571
00:25:12,640 --> 00:25:15,480
Speaker 8: the Tigers seven to nothing. About twelve minutes left in

572
00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:19,240
Speaker 8: the first half for Oregon and Iowa. It is a

573
00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,280
Speaker 8: disastrous weather out there. Oregon just scored a touchdown, I

574
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:24,680
Speaker 8: got a safety in the first quarter. It's nine to

575
00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,680
Speaker 8: nothing over the Hawkeye for the ninth rate Ducks. Nine

576
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 8: minutes left in the first half for Syracuse in Miami.

577
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,520
Speaker 8: That game is still scoreless. Miami's had a few turnovers

578
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 8: on the offensive side of the ball, keeping them out

579
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 8: of the end zone, and with two minutes left in

580
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:39,440
Speaker 8: the first quarter, sixteenth rank Auburn, I'm sorry, sixteen Frank,

581
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 8: Vanderbilt is trailing Auburn. Auburn's four and five in the

582
00:25:42,800 --> 00:25:45,080
Speaker 8: SEC four and five, one in five in the SEC

583
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,560
Speaker 8: and has an interim head coach. Earlier today, we saw

584
00:25:48,600 --> 00:25:51,600
Speaker 8: Ohio State beat Perdue thirty four to ten. Second ranked

585
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 8: Indiana scored a late touchdown to survive against Penn State

586
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,520
Speaker 8: twenty four to I'm Sorry twenty seven to twenty four.

587
00:25:56,760 --> 00:25:59,840
Speaker 8: Fifth rank Georgia the Mississippi State forty one to twenty one.

588
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,120
Speaker 8: Eight thran Texas Tech smoked BYU twenty nine to seven.

589
00:26:03,359 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 8: Give me the seventh thrank Cougars their first loss. And

590
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 8: the little NFL notes the Packers.

591
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:09,640
Speaker 5: You guys talked about them being up and down.

592
00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 8: Well, some of their offensive stars may be down for

593
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 8: Monday Night. Matthew Golden, do Tavian Wick, save On Williams

594
00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 8: wide receivers questionable for a Monday Night's game against the Eagles.

595
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 5: Also questionable if Carmen will be able to watch it.

596
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:26,040
Speaker 4: Back to you guys, nice callback Martin, Well, Don Martin,

00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:30,920
Speaker 4: of the TV.

600
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:33,600
Speaker 1: No, like I said, I'll just I'll scheme ask it.

601
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 2: I'll get it. The scheme ask way what I also appreciate, though,

602
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 2: is our next guest. This is such an incredible treat

603
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 2: to have her on Calmness for NFL dot Com, reporter

604
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 2: and co host of The Insiders on NFL Network. It

605
00:26:47,040 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 2: is the legend herself, Judy Batista.

606
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:52,439
Speaker 11: Are you guys?

607
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,320
Speaker 6: I haven't seen you guys in the ages.

608
00:26:54,680 --> 00:26:57,360
Speaker 4: I know it's been a while. Actually, now that you mention.

609
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,879
Speaker 1: It, I mean, I guess your tri state area teams

610
00:26:59,880 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: are keeping you busy.

611
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:06,359
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, Yeah, it's been quite a year. It's yeah,

612
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:07,200
Speaker 6: it's been a year.

613
00:27:07,720 --> 00:27:12,160
Speaker 2: Let's start there, because so I you know, I watched

614
00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:14,720
Speaker 2: them in the North very closely. I've been a tremendous

615
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,320
Speaker 2: fan of Aaron Glenn for so so long. I know,

616
00:27:17,359 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 2: as I know you have been to you know, from

617
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 2: his playing days everything like that, and you know he

618
00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 2: takes over the Jets and like he has just everything

619
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 2: on paper that you want a guy that can galvanize

620
00:27:26,880 --> 00:27:29,960
Speaker 2: an entire team, and it's just not clicking. How much

621
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: danger is he and Judy, and please don't break my heart.

622
00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 6: No, I don't think he's in any danger at all.

623
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,880
Speaker 6: I mean I've talked to Woody Johnson about this, and

624
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:42,119
Speaker 6: I don't since any wavering from Woody at all on

625
00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 6: Aaron Glenn. I think, and I frankly think that the

626
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 6: moves this week, it's the trade deadline tell you that

627
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 6: Aaron and Darren Mujie the GM, you know, have a

628
00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,240
Speaker 6: pretty long rope here, and that Woody Johnson recognizes that

629
00:27:57,320 --> 00:27:59,600
Speaker 6: it's a rebuild. I mean, you certainly don't trade those

630
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:03,040
Speaker 6: two play right without the owner signing off on it.

631
00:28:04,240 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 6: And I think there's a recognition that like they just

632
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:09,600
Speaker 6: need they need to rebuild the roster, and obviously they

633
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,760
Speaker 6: need to get a quarterback. They have to get this

634
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:14,359
Speaker 6: right and you know, and they're going to need a

635
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 6: lot of flexibility to do that, and so they made

636
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:18,960
Speaker 6: this moves. But by actually thought that.

637
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 11: The decisions to trade those guys.

638
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:24,719
Speaker 6: Indicates that, you know, Aaron Glenn and Darren Moudey are

639
00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,480
Speaker 6: very safe and are going to be there for a while.

640
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 4: Well that is good news for Aaron Glenn and for

641
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,160
Speaker 4: the Jets, because as we know, bad teams stay bad

642
00:28:33,160 --> 00:28:36,200
Speaker 4: if they just keep firing people. So it definitely will

643
00:28:36,240 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 4: take time. So, Judy, we are into November, we are

644
00:28:39,240 --> 00:28:42,000
Speaker 4: a little past the halfway point of the season. Now,

645
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 4: I feel like, is where we find out who's for

646
00:28:44,680 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 4: real and who is going to drop off? Is there

647
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 4: a team that you're looking at that you feel like

648
00:28:49,640 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 4: maybe was a surprise from the beginning and that people

649
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:53,880
Speaker 4: would think would drop off, But you're like, no, this

650
00:28:54,080 --> 00:28:55,320
Speaker 4: they're legit.

651
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 11: Well two of them.

652
00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:02,800
Speaker 6: First of all, I think New England is for real. Yeah,

653
00:29:01,360 --> 00:29:05,160
Speaker 6: and I will say this, I thought this was going

654
00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 6: to be a rebuilding year for them. I have a

655
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,960
Speaker 6: lot of confidence that Mike Rabel as a head.

656
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,360
Speaker 11: Coach, but still right, they were not good last year.

657
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:14,000
Speaker 6: They even think of for a few seasons and you

658
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 6: just think, oh, you know.

659
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 11: First year was Rabel there, It's going to take.

660
00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 6: Some time to get what he wants going. I mean,

661
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 6: but Drake May has made such a huge leap, and.

662
00:29:22,800 --> 00:29:25,320
Speaker 11: A lot of credit goes to obviously the offensive.

663
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:27,760
Speaker 6: Coaching staff there, and I mean Mike Rabel has turned

664
00:29:27,760 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 6: it around. Like you know, they did a lot of

665
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,000
Speaker 6: work in free agency. I mean, they it's unbelievable how

666
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:34,920
Speaker 6: good they are, and Drake May has just been fantastic.

667
00:29:34,960 --> 00:29:37,560
Speaker 6: I'm very curious to see how they do against the

668
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:41,360
Speaker 6: Bucks because certainly that defense, you know, throws a lot

669
00:29:41,440 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 6: at quarterbacks. So I'm very interested to see how Drake

670
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 6: May handles that. But I think that Patriots are for real.

671
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,680
Speaker 6: I mean, they are in contention for the number one

672
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:53,640
Speaker 6: seed in the AFC bananas believable, So I definitely think

673
00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 6: they're for real. I do think the Colts are for real,

674
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 6: and I am a that's the game from Berlin early

675
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 6: tomorrow and very interested to see how they come out after.

676
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:08,800
Speaker 6: You know, I mean last week was a poor performance

677
00:30:08,880 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 6: and you know, sort of a setback. And I think

678
00:30:11,200 --> 00:30:13,200
Speaker 6: people who thought that this was sort of a mirage

679
00:30:13,200 --> 00:30:15,560
Speaker 6: with Daniel Jones, who look at that game where he

680
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 6: had all the turnovers and the Dealers defense really dominated them,

681
00:30:19,360 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 6: and say, uh, you know, Okay, now the real guy's

682
00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 6: coming out.

683
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 11: I don't think that's true.

684
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,240
Speaker 6: I think they're real, and I think anybody's got Jonathan

685
00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 6: Taylor running the ball like he has been this season

686
00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 6: is for real. So I think they are for real.

687
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 6: But but I'm will be watching closely to see how

688
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:36,240
Speaker 6: they bounce back tomorrow.

689
00:30:36,280 --> 00:30:36,920
Speaker 11: So those are two.

690
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:39,360
Speaker 6: Teams that I did not see being where they are

691
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:41,840
Speaker 6: right now, but I think they're legit.

692
00:30:42,360 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 4: Can we all agree that Bill's fans would just kind

693
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,520
Speaker 4: of revolt. If the Patriots are one again once again,

694
00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,120
Speaker 4: I think everybody right.

695
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 6: I mean, I mean I can tell you you know,

696
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 6: obviously I live here. I live here in New York,

697
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,640
Speaker 6: and Jetsons are like, seriously, yes.

698
00:30:58,320 --> 00:30:58,960
Speaker 9: Really.

699
00:31:01,040 --> 00:31:03,600
Speaker 1: We thought there was an opening. There's no.

700
00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 6: So yeah, I think people are like, oh my gosh,

701
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 6: the Patriots again, you know, they're really I mean, Trick

702
00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 6: May is just really really good.

703
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 9: Well.

704
00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 2: I think it's interesting because in the AFC in general,

705
00:31:15,840 --> 00:31:17,800
Speaker 2: you know, you went into the season still thinking, all.

706
00:31:17,760 --> 00:31:19,640
Speaker 1: Right, Bill's Chiefs Bills Chiefs.

707
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 2: It's been like that, you know, at least in the

708
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:25,000
Speaker 2: regular season where it's been between these two teams for

709
00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,760
Speaker 2: that conference, and to have another team in the Bill's

710
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:31,640
Speaker 2: division like enter the chat here and the Bills are like,

711
00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 2: come on, we haven't made it over the over the

712
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,400
Speaker 2: team yet, or we haven't made it over the hump yet,

713
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:37,880
Speaker 2: and now we have to deal with another one of

714
00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:39,600
Speaker 2: these guys. But I want to talk about the AFC

715
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:42,240
Speaker 2: just kind of in general, because I think the NFC

716
00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 2: is a little bit clear of a picture.

717
00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 1: And the AFC just isn't.

718
00:31:47,360 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 2: Who do you expect to kind of separate themselves down

719
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 2: down this stretch.

720
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:56,280
Speaker 6: Well, first of all, I have not written off the

721
00:31:56,400 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 6: Ravens yet because I just can't. I mean, they're in

722
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 6: such a hole, but there's there's so much healthier than

723
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 6: they were at the start of the season. Lamar obviously

724
00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 6: is back and that's huge. They have a big game

725
00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 6: against the Vikings, so that's an important one. But you know,

726
00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 6: I have not written them off as I completely expect

727
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:19,000
Speaker 6: them to go on a little run here and at

728
00:32:19,080 --> 00:32:23,080
Speaker 6: least make it interesting in the AFC North. You know,

729
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,960
Speaker 6: I think at the end, I think we're going to

730
00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 6: be looking at New England. I think that the teams

731
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,520
Speaker 6: that I would be looking at are New England Baltimore.

732
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:33,480
Speaker 6: I do think the Colts, and they certainly have the

733
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 6: advantage of playing in the division that's not the strongest.

734
00:32:37,280 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 6: You know, There's no way I'm writing off the Chiefs.

735
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,800
Speaker 6: There's no way I would think that Patrick Mahomes has done.

736
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 6: You know, I think I think they'll be there at

737
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 6: the end. So those are the teams I think I'll

738
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 6: be there at. You know, in those last few weeks

739
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:54,200
Speaker 6: in January, in the playoffs.

740
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:58,880
Speaker 4: It's looking exciting. I am a big proponent of saying

741
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 4: that the Rams are going to win this, and I

742
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 4: know we talked.

743
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,280
Speaker 11: I don't think that's that's crazy.

744
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't think it's crazy at all. And

745
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:08,480
Speaker 4: I wanted your opinion on it because it just feels

746
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:12,880
Speaker 4: like to me, I have all these teams that are competing,

747
00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,000
Speaker 4: and some one week they're great, one week they're not.

748
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,720
Speaker 4: The RAMS feel despite a couple of things pretty consistent

749
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 4: do so it sounds like you do agree with me,

750
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:24,520
Speaker 4: But I would like to know why not to sound

751
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 4: like you're like math.

752
00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:28,360
Speaker 6: Teacher, because I well, I do think they're consistent. They're

753
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:33,600
Speaker 6: really well constructed and well balanced and obviously well coached. Right, So,

754
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 6: and Matthew Stafford is having I feel like when people

755
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 6: are not talking about Matthew Harford, right, he could definitely

756
00:33:42,080 --> 00:33:42,920
Speaker 6: be the MVP.

757
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:45,440
Speaker 1: That whatever was in that cryo chamber.

758
00:33:45,640 --> 00:33:47,120
Speaker 4: I want to I know we should all be in

759
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:47,880
Speaker 4: that cryo chamber.

760
00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:49,600
Speaker 6: I just go back. I just think back to all

761
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:52,000
Speaker 6: during training games in preseason when he wasn't playing in

762
00:33:52,040 --> 00:33:54,040
Speaker 6: the back, and everybody's like, oh my gosh, you know,

763
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:56,280
Speaker 6: no the fact, and now it's like, oh, or he

764
00:33:56,320 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 6: could be the league MVP. So I definitely think it's

765
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 6: possible that they make a run. You know, San Francisco

766
00:34:05,800 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 6: has done such an amazing job of holding it together,

767
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 6: and obviously Kyle is just a hell of a coach

768
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,840
Speaker 6: and Matt Jones has done a great job. But you

769
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 6: just keeping every day. I keep thinking, all right, this

770
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 6: is the day that it starts to come apart, right.

771
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 6: They just can't possibly keep winning these games with so

772
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 6: many of their star players gone.

773
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:28,279
Speaker 11: They have done it so far.

774
00:34:28,680 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 6: The Rams are a very tough test, though. I mean,

775
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:36,080
Speaker 6: this is a tough one. I mean, it wasn't I

776
00:34:36,320 --> 00:34:38,920
Speaker 6: If the Niners win this game, then I don't know

777
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:41,600
Speaker 6: how far the Niners can go. But I you know,

778
00:34:41,920 --> 00:34:44,840
Speaker 6: I definitely think the Rams are a very serious contender

779
00:34:45,040 --> 00:34:48,520
Speaker 6: in the NFC, because in the NFC, the other teams

780
00:34:48,520 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 6: I look at like I was. I covered the Eagles

781
00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,840
Speaker 6: Giants game right before the Eagles bye week, and that

782
00:34:53,960 --> 00:34:55,759
Speaker 6: was the best the Eagles have looked all season. They

783
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:59,399
Speaker 6: finally got the running game going, the defense, ten Dan Jackson, dart,

784
00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:01,600
Speaker 6: they didn't let it going. And everybody afterwards said, like, well,

785
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 6: but it was only the Giants. It's like, okay, but

786
00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,160
Speaker 6: that was the same Giants team that two weeks earlier, Yes,

787
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,400
Speaker 6: had kicked their teeth in, so they clearly had addressed

788
00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:13,239
Speaker 6: their issues. Now they're getting healthier. AJ Brown is back

789
00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 6: sake one, they're both off the injury report, So I

790
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:19,520
Speaker 6: think the Eagles are probably going to now make a

791
00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 6: run here. And this is what I mean, this is

792
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 6: what championship caliber teams do, right, They sort of win

793
00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 6: games early in the season while they figure out what

794
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:28,520
Speaker 6: they are good at and what they're not good at,

795
00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:30,719
Speaker 6: and maybe they scuffle a little bit, but then they

796
00:35:30,800 --> 00:35:35,239
Speaker 6: are building towards you know, late November and December and

797
00:35:35,360 --> 00:35:38,000
Speaker 6: them going into January, they're playing their best football. And

798
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:41,359
Speaker 6: that sort of feels like what we're watching.

799
00:35:41,040 --> 00:35:41,760
Speaker 11: With the Eagles.

800
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,799
Speaker 6: I think the Rams have been consistent all along, so

801
00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:47,920
Speaker 6: if they're into cheap and again, I mean I you know,

802
00:35:47,960 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 6: I just look at the Niners and think, like, how

803
00:35:50,040 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 6: much longer can they possibly keep doing this with like

804
00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:54,680
Speaker 6: everybody heard.

805
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about that earlier, just like it's just

806
00:35:57,239 --> 00:36:00,640
Speaker 2: not a sustainable like model right now into it.

807
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,440
Speaker 6: End of the season, and you're right, like everybody in

808
00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:05,399
Speaker 6: the NFC, the NFC North has so many good teams,

809
00:36:05,440 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 6: but they're kind of up and down, right right that

810
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 6: first game against the Packers, You're like, Wow, the Packers

811
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:11,880
Speaker 6: are going to win the Super Bowl this year, and

812
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,840
Speaker 6: they were so good, and then they've been kind of

813
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 6: up and down.

814
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,759
Speaker 2: Oh I call them Jackal and Hyde because we just

815
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:19,120
Speaker 2: don't know anything that's happening.

816
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:20,439
Speaker 11: In the lily in the same thing.

817
00:36:20,560 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 6: So, I mean, any of those teams could get it

818
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:25,839
Speaker 6: all together and go, it's just I need to see

819
00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 6: them pull it together.

820
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:29,800
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, well, Judy, thank you so much for joining

821
00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:30,360

Speaker 2: the Dotes coming up after this. You're listening to Fox

829
00:36:45,320 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 2: Football Saturday. Welcome back in to Fox Football Saturday. I'm

830
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,120
Speaker 2: your host, Carmen Vitally. I have Tracy Sandler with me.

831
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 1: Hello day.

832
00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,239
Speaker 2: We just talked to Judy Battista, who I love. I

833
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 2: usually get to see her like at least once a season.

834
00:36:58,360 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: I haven't seen her yet this year.

835
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:00,920
Speaker 4: I know, but I thought I was gonna have a

836
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,480
Speaker 4: chance last week at the Giants game, but yeah, it

837
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:04,080
Speaker 4: was not to be.

838
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 2: Well, she's all over the place, She's all over the

839
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 2: the Eastern seaboard. I feel like I usually end up

840
00:37:09,960 --> 00:37:11,600
Speaker 2: seeing her in Detroit and I don't have many trips

841
00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:16,040
Speaker 2: which is Detroit planned so far. So anyway, love her,

842
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:20,240
Speaker 2: could talk to her forever. And I mean it's true,

843
00:37:20,239 --> 00:37:22,000
Speaker 2: like there's there's so many teams that we just don't know.

844
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:25,640
Speaker 3: What to do with still and weird season.

845
00:37:26,400 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 2: Yeah, like some teams look invincible one week and then

846
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:32,239
Speaker 2: the next uh you know. I think I was on

847
00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:33,799
Speaker 2: the show with you where I talked about why aren't

848
00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 2: we giving the Buck the Tampa Buccaneers more credit? And

849
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,120
Speaker 2: then you know, the next week they went out and

850
00:37:39,160 --> 00:37:43,720
Speaker 2: they lost. So I don't know, And like Detroit Scott

851
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: the same thing. Like I just any any team that

852
00:37:46,280 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: I end up being like super confident in. You know,

853
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:50,760
Speaker 2: when the Packers traded for Mike Parsons, I was like, Okay,

854
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:53,600
Speaker 2: this is it. They're Super Bowl contenders, and they have

855
00:37:53,760 --> 00:37:57,719
Speaker 2: been anything but consistent, despite the fact that their pass

856
00:37:57,800 --> 00:37:59,279
Speaker 2: rush is so much better than I was last year.

857
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 2: I don't know, it's it's but I think it's fun.

858
00:38:01,920 --> 00:38:04,440
Speaker 2: I like guessing. I understand that some people don't, especially

859
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:07,759
Speaker 2: people that are into gambling. Like the less guesswork the

860
00:38:07,800 --> 00:38:10,440
Speaker 2: better in that case. But for me, someone who has

861
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:13,800
Speaker 2: to talk about it, I never wonder or have trouble

862
00:38:13,920 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 2: finding things to talk about.

863
00:38:15,280 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Monday night football, which I hope you're

864
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:19,919
Speaker 4: able to watch, is going to tell us a lot

865
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:21,480
Speaker 4: the Packer's Eagles game.

866
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,600
Speaker 2: All right, well, it's time for our recurring segment, the

867
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:27,920
Speaker 2: dues and the don'ts.

868
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:27,680
Speaker 1: Highlighting the dudes.

869
00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 7: I love that putting a spotlight.

870
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 4: On the don't the subject brings me no joy.

871
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,719
Speaker 1: Don't do that, that's insane.

872
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:38,400
Speaker 7: It's time for the dues and the don'ts in sports.

873
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,719
Speaker 2: Jase, I'm going to have you go first today. All right, well,

874
00:38:41,840 --> 00:38:43,960
Speaker 2: let's get your ado or a don't from you.

875
00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,360
Speaker 4: I have a do I have a do be Sauce Gardner.

876
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 4: Earlier this week, he was traded and father videoed him

877
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:55,360
Speaker 4: telling his kids, and his younger son was hysterically crying.

878
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:58,640
Speaker 4: It was so sweet and sad and also like get

879
00:38:58,719 --> 00:39:01,280
Speaker 4: used to being a Jets fan kid like so so sad,

880
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 4: and it went pretty viral and Sauce Gardener sent him,

881
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,600
Speaker 4: saw him and his brother signed Colt jerseys. I believe

882
00:39:08,600 --> 00:39:10,400
Speaker 4: he told him he was in a better place so

883
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 4: not to be upset about it. And I just thought that.

884
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 1: Would excited itself.

885
00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:17,759
Speaker 4: Well that's what he said he was, but I ag

886
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:20,200
Speaker 4: he is. You'd much rather be a cult right now

887
00:39:20,239 --> 00:39:22,719
Speaker 4: than a jet absolutely, So I just thought that was

888
00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 4: really sweet that he got wind of it, he sent

889
00:39:25,160 --> 00:39:28,879
Speaker 4: the jerseys, And I am hoping that that young man

890
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 4: is now a Colt span because I feel like it

891
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 4: would just be a happier existence generally for him.

892
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, it will be, It will be, and in general

893
00:39:36,920 --> 00:39:39,680
Speaker 2: I would be happy to be Sauce Gardener right now.

894
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

895
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,839
Speaker 2: I usually this is a really fun segment, but there

896
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 2: is something that I want to kind of bring some

897
00:39:45,239 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 2: attention to, uh And I want you what do know

898
00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,200

Speaker 2: injury news, tune in to Countdown to Kickoff, presented by

937
00:41:52,160 --> 00:41:55,080
Speaker 2: bet MGM, every Saturday and Sunday morning, right here on

938
00:41:55,120 --> 00:41:58,279
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. All right, so

939
00:41:58,360 --> 00:42:02,680
Speaker 2: let's get into it. Let's get into some of the

940
00:42:02,719 --> 00:42:07,319
Speaker 2: game statuses and potential inactives across the league. I want

941
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,239
Speaker 2: to talk about a couple different games for our Week

942
00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:14,040
Speaker 2: ten preview segment, starting of course, with teams that we've

943
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:17,440
Speaker 2: already talked quite a bit about. Rams and Niners are playing.

944
00:42:17,880 --> 00:42:18,719
Speaker 4: It's a big game.

945
00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:20,879
Speaker 1: It really is, though.

946
00:42:20,920 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 2: It really is because we talked to Judy Batista, and

947
00:42:23,680 --> 00:42:27,720
Speaker 2: we talked amongst ourselves about how sustainable is this really?

948
00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,120
Speaker 2: When the San Francisco forty nine ers seem to have

949
00:42:30,120 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 2: this ever revolving door of injuries and you know, as

950
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:37,600
Speaker 2: the season wears on and guys get less healthy regardless,

951
00:42:38,320 --> 00:42:40,000
Speaker 2: how is that going to impact them? And can they

952
00:42:40,080 --> 00:42:42,600
Speaker 2: keep winning? Can they keep contending for this division which

953
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:44,760
Speaker 2: seems to be the Rams Division.

954
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,520
Speaker 4: And it's interesting because the Niners already beat the Rams

955
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:51,120
Speaker 4: once in a surprise you Thursday Night football with them

956
00:42:51,160 --> 00:42:54,240
Speaker 4: dealing with injuries. Then there's no Fred Warner this time though,

957
00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:56,560
Speaker 4: And I think this is this is both a very

958
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,520
Speaker 4: different Niners team and a very different Rams team. I

959
00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,120
Speaker 4: think that Rams team felt like on the short week

960
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 4: with the Niners injuries, maybe caught off guard. To be

961
00:43:05,760 --> 00:43:09,680
Speaker 4: honest with you, this is not that team and the Rams.

962
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,239
Speaker 4: And if the Rams want to win the division, they

963
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:14,920
Speaker 4: cannot lose twice to San Francisco. So this game becomes

964
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:17,120
Speaker 4: huge for everybody. I Mean, someone asked me the other

965
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 4: day the Niners lose, is this the beginning of the

966
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,920
Speaker 4: end of the season. No, I don't think that. But

967
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:24,279
Speaker 4: I think if the Rams lose, it might be the

968
00:43:24,280 --> 00:43:26,719
Speaker 4: beginning of the end of the division for them. And

969
00:43:26,760 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 4: I'm not saying that necessarily the San Francisco would win it,

970
00:43:28,640 --> 00:43:31,200
Speaker 4: but I think Seattle could could become a contender. But

971
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 4: this is this is a huge game. Mac Jones will

972
00:43:35,040 --> 00:43:37,960
Speaker 4: be starting again. They have not decided whether or not

973
00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 4: rick as I Brock Purty will be active. Ricky Piersoll

974
00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:45,880
Speaker 4: is out for the game. They have d Winters and

975
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:49,880
Speaker 4: Tatum Bethune both questionable. They lost Mikel Williams last week.

976
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:54,480
Speaker 4: Bryce Huff is back, but this is not going to

977
00:43:54,520 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 4: be an easy one. Puka Nakua will be available for

978
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,359
Speaker 4: the Rams. I mean, the injury reports alone could take

979
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 4: up an entire show. Will be available for the Rams,

980
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 4: and so it'll be interesting to see how this one goes.

981
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 4: You Conventional wisdom says to me, the Rams are going

982
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,879
Speaker 4: to win this game. But when these two teams play

983
00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:15,799
Speaker 4: each other, these division games, these two coaches, that's to

984
00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,200
Speaker 4: me our biggest X factor of this game or these

985
00:44:18,239 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 4: two coaches.

986
00:44:19,280 --> 00:44:23,160
Speaker 2: We can go into stats and different player matchups all

987
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:26,440
Speaker 2: we want, but I do think that the matchup that

988
00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:31,920
Speaker 2: matters the most year is Sean McVay and Kyle Shanahan Again,

989
00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:35,000
Speaker 2: I mean this is it's been so fun to watch

990
00:44:35,040 --> 00:44:36,680
Speaker 2: these two Like the fact that these two are in

991
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 2: the same division. I think it's so fun because we

992
00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:40,279
Speaker 2: get to see them play each other twice a year

993
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: and it is just a total like back and forth

994
00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:49,080
Speaker 2: because these guys know each other so incredibly well. They

995
00:44:49,120 --> 00:44:51,440
Speaker 2: know each other's tendencies, they know the way each other's

996
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:54,719
Speaker 2: brains work. Because I mean, both of these coaches are

997
00:44:54,800 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 2: very good at evolving for the personnel that they have available,

998
00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:00,480
Speaker 2: evolving their schemes year to year. I think that Sean

999
00:45:00,560 --> 00:45:04,400
Speaker 2: McVay especially is kind of credited in a lot of

1000
00:45:04,440 --> 00:45:09,239
Speaker 2: ways for pushing offense forward, like offensive scheme forward in

1001
00:45:09,239 --> 00:45:13,600
Speaker 2: this league and continuing to evolve it, which trickles down

1002
00:45:13,719 --> 00:45:16,759
Speaker 2: or along to everybody else in the league as well,

1003
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:21,279
Speaker 2: especially when you consider that this coaching tree is the

1004
00:45:21,320 --> 00:45:24,360
Speaker 2: current biggest coaching tree for active coaches in the league.

1005
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,160
Speaker 2: Guys that have all worked together or more succinctly, all

1006
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,880
Speaker 2: the guys that were on that the.

1007
00:45:29,680 --> 00:45:31,359
Speaker 1: Washington team, the Washington football team.

1008
00:45:31,560 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 4: Yes, the Commanders, Commanders, the Commander, variety of names, the command.

1009
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:37,480
Speaker 2: Well, it was something else when they were on it

1010
00:45:37,560 --> 00:45:39,120
Speaker 2: and that we're not going to say. And then it

1011
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:42,040
Speaker 2: was the Washington and then all of them. But that

1012
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:44,960
Speaker 2: being said, I mean, just seeing the chess match between

1013
00:45:45,040 --> 00:45:47,640
Speaker 2: these two guys is always really fun and it can

1014
00:45:48,080 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 2: despite the fact that, yes, on paper, this looks like

1015
00:45:50,440 --> 00:45:55,120
Speaker 2: the Rams game to win, there's there's there's always a

1016
00:45:55,200 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 2: move and a counter move when it comes to these guys.

1017
00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:00,160
Speaker 4: And really, I think the X factor, and it seems

1018
00:46:00,160 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 4: like an obvious X factor, but the X factor for

1019
00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,480
Speaker 4: San Francisco is going to be Christian McCaffrey in the

1020
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:07,960
Speaker 4: run game and if they can, if they can really

1021
00:46:08,360 --> 00:46:11,439
Speaker 4: get that going. They used Brian Robinson some last week

1022
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:14,440
Speaker 4: and I think was really helpful for them, But it

1023
00:46:14,440 --> 00:46:16,640
Speaker 4: it's going to come down to Christian because he has

1024
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:22,600
Speaker 4: been just tremendous this season. He's been available at all

1025
00:46:22,680 --> 00:46:24,719
Speaker 4: times he's and it took a while for the run

1026
00:46:24,760 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 4: game to really get going in a couple of weeks ago.

1027
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:30,000
Speaker 4: It did last week it looked good again and that's

1028
00:46:30,040 --> 00:46:31,600
Speaker 4: going to be the thing. If the forty nine ers

1029
00:46:31,680 --> 00:46:35,840
Speaker 4: can get Christian McCaffrey really going here, then they have

1030
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:37,920
Speaker 4: a real chance to win this game. It's just it's

1031
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,640
Speaker 4: very tough because you have a very good young Rams defense,

1032
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 4: you have Matthew Stafford. As we've discussed whoknakuas So it's

1033
00:46:46,160 --> 00:46:49,960
Speaker 4: going to be a tough one. But like I said before,

1034
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:51,840
Speaker 4: and as you said, it's it's gonna come down to

1035
00:46:51,880 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 4: Kashianahan versus Sean McVay, I really do it. It might

1036
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,239
Speaker 4: be a little more x's and o's than Jimmy and Joe's.

1037
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,640
Speaker 4: There you go, You're welcome for that.

1038
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 2: That being said, I mean, can the production of Christian McCaffrey,

1039
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,400
Speaker 2: even at his best, contend with the production of Matthew

1040
00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:08,920
Speaker 2: Stafford at his best? I mean, this is a guy

1041
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 2: that probably not all qualified passers in touchdowns this year

1042
00:47:12,160 --> 00:47:15,640
Speaker 2: with twenty one, he has just two interceptions. His passer

1043
00:47:15,719 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: rating right now on the season is one thirteen point two.

1044
00:47:18,920 --> 00:47:22,120
Speaker 2: He's top ten in every major passing metric EPA per

1045
00:47:22,200 --> 00:47:25,160
Speaker 2: drop back, like even all the advanced stuff. That's so

1046
00:47:25,280 --> 00:47:27,120
Speaker 2: fun for me to kind of like dig through. But

1047
00:47:27,160 --> 00:47:29,680
Speaker 2: I mean we said it to Judy, I'm like, whatever

1048
00:47:29,800 --> 00:47:31,840
Speaker 2: was in that cryo chamber, I need it because Matthew

1049
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 2: Stafford walked out of there and he looked like the

1050
00:47:33,880 --> 00:47:38,239
Speaker 2: Matthew Stafford from five years ago, so I want I

1051
00:47:38,360 --> 00:47:44,920
Speaker 2: like the production, especially with Pucunaku available and Matthew Stafford,

1052
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:47,080
Speaker 2: and the line playing as well as they are, the

1053
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 2: offensive line playing as well as they are, and again

1054
00:47:48,840 --> 00:47:52,879
Speaker 2: that defense that is so young but so effective. I mean,

1055
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:56,279
Speaker 2: the Rams just seem like I don't know if we're

1056
00:47:56,320 --> 00:47:58,399
Speaker 2: talking enough about them to be quite honest, I don't

1057
00:47:58,400 --> 00:47:59,399
Speaker 2: know too, who's going to come.

1058
00:47:59,320 --> 00:47:59,920
Speaker 1: Out of the NMC.

1059
00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,279
Speaker 4: I don't know that we are and I think it's

1060
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 4: because maybe we're so used to them being consistent. But

1061
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,120
Speaker 4: and when you talk about Matthew Stafford, he is going

1062
00:48:06,200 --> 00:48:08,760
Speaker 4: up against a young defense. At at times on the Forrance

1063
00:48:08,800 --> 00:48:10,640
Speaker 4: has looked great, but a lot of the reasons they

1064
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 4: looked great early was because they had the veterans around

1065
00:48:13,239 --> 00:48:16,480
Speaker 4: them to help them. Not take anything away from their performances,

1066
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:19,160
Speaker 4: but you had these guys around them that would help

1067
00:48:19,239 --> 00:48:23,840
Speaker 4: them look great. And it's just it's going to be

1068
00:48:24,600 --> 00:48:27,120
Speaker 4: a tough call. And it's also which forty nine Ers

1069
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:29,880
Speaker 4: defense shows up. The one against the Falcons tremendous, the

1070
00:48:29,920 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 4: next week against the Texans a disaster, last week against

1071
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,960
Speaker 4: the Giants better, but they were also playing the Giants

1072
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:38,920
Speaker 4: and that is one bad football team. And so this

1073
00:48:39,120 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 4: is going to be a tough, tough test, but an

1074
00:48:42,640 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 4: important win for both teams because I really believe the

1075
00:48:45,160 --> 00:48:49,440
Speaker 4: Rams win tomorrow and this division is there's no questionna,

1076
00:48:49,719 --> 00:48:50,800
Speaker 4: no questions asked.

1077
00:48:50,960 --> 00:48:52,799
Speaker 2: All Right, Well, another team that people aren't talking enough

1078
00:48:52,800 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 2: about is still the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

1079
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,720
Speaker 1: I don't know are they are.

1080
00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,520
Speaker 2: Playing for the first time, say it's the return of

1081
00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,879
Speaker 2: Tom Brady. They're playing the Patriots. I was actually there

1082
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 2: at Toilette Stadium for that game. I was on the sideline.

1083
00:49:07,800 --> 00:49:10,160
Speaker 2: I actually walked with Brady out of the tunnel like

1084
00:49:10,280 --> 00:49:12,759
Speaker 2: with my little you know, doing some social media for

1085
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,279
Speaker 2: the team I was working for the Buccaneers.

1086
00:49:14,360 --> 00:49:15,040
Speaker 1: Time love it.

1087
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:18,600
Speaker 2: It's the single greatest video I've ever captured. Even though

1088
00:49:18,640 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 2: the NFL films guys were like muscling their way and

1089
00:49:21,120 --> 00:49:23,040
Speaker 2: I like literally but they almost knocked me over.

1090
00:49:23,520 --> 00:49:26,240
Speaker 1: But it was an incredible game. It was raining.

1091
00:49:26,440 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 2: It was like when when Brady came out for warm ups,

1092
00:49:29,680 --> 00:49:32,719
Speaker 2: the entire crowd cheered. It was an incredible atmosphere. And

1093
00:49:32,800 --> 00:49:37,239
Speaker 2: then when he came out in the Bucks uniform and like,

1094
00:49:37,640 --> 00:49:40,400
Speaker 2: you know, for the game and got announced he got booed,

1095
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,440
Speaker 2: and which I'm like, I wouldn't. You wouldn't want it

1096
00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:47,319
Speaker 2: any other way. And so now the Bucks and the

1097
00:49:47,320 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: Patriots are taken, are going against each other, and obviously

1098
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:53,560
Speaker 2: no Tom Brady. Tom Brady refused to pick sides too.

1099
00:49:53,600 --> 00:49:56,399
Speaker 2: But I think this matchup is particularly interesting because we've

1100
00:49:56,400 --> 00:49:58,920
Speaker 2: talked so much and I do love like I love

1101
00:49:59,000 --> 00:50:02,000
Speaker 2: Drake May. I loved Drake May so incredibly much. Something

1102
00:50:02,320 --> 00:50:05,439
Speaker 2: Drake May has been elite at this season so far,

1103
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:08,360
Speaker 2: which is insane to say in a guy that just

1104
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 2: now is getting to have started a full season of

1105
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:14,040
Speaker 2: game worth of games because he came in, you know,

1106
00:50:14,480 --> 00:50:17,120
Speaker 2: late last season or later last season in the middle

1107
00:50:17,120 --> 00:50:17,560
Speaker 2: of the season.

1108
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:22,440
Speaker 1: He's really good about against the blitz. He's really good seventy.

1109
00:50:22,120 --> 00:50:24,040
Speaker 2: Four point one percent of his past attempts against late

1110
00:50:24,040 --> 00:50:27,759
Speaker 2: down blitzes. That's the third highest mark among quarterbacks that like.

1111
00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:31,200
Speaker 2: That is his completion rate against late down blitzes, not

1112
00:50:31,200 --> 00:50:32,720
Speaker 2: even just regular blitzes.

1113
00:50:32,400 --> 00:50:35,759
Speaker 1: Like third down. Need to have it this that the

1114
00:50:35,800 --> 00:50:36,640
Speaker 1: other Drake May is.

1115
00:50:36,640 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: Completing nearly three quarters of those. And something that the

1116
00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:41,040
Speaker 2: Bucks do a.

1117
00:50:41,040 --> 00:50:43,840
Speaker 3: Lot is blitz is blitz.

1118
00:50:43,840 --> 00:50:47,800
Speaker 2: Is especially in those third down situations, and they blitz

1119
00:50:47,880 --> 00:50:49,960
Speaker 2: the third highest rate on third and four thousands, in

1120
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:52,239
Speaker 2: fact forty two point three percent, and they're tied for

1121
00:50:52,280 --> 00:50:54,800
Speaker 2: the second most pressures when doing so.

1122
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,839
Speaker 1: So like they are extremely.

1123
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: Effective in those late downs by blitzing. So of course

1124
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,959
Speaker 2: they're going to try to do it. But like that

1125
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:05,800
Speaker 2: matchup in particular is going to be so fun because

1126
00:51:06,560 --> 00:51:09,440
Speaker 2: something Todd Bowles does so incredibly well is not only blitz,

1127
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:13,480
Speaker 2: but he makes it look different every time. You never

1128
00:51:13,600 --> 00:51:16,840
Speaker 2: know who is actually coming all of the simulated pressures.

1129
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,720
Speaker 2: Sometimes he does it blitz when you think he's gonna

1130
00:51:18,960 --> 00:51:22,040
Speaker 2: he'll put seven guys on the line and then drop

1131
00:51:22,400 --> 00:51:24,120
Speaker 2: most of them and it's ends up being.

1132
00:51:23,960 --> 00:51:26,520
Speaker 1: Like a three man rush. You're just like what, what, how? How?

1133
00:51:26,680 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 1: And then and they'll they'll be effective in that way.

1134
00:51:29,200 --> 00:51:32,200
Speaker 2: They have the horses to do it in Tampa, provided

1135
00:51:32,239 --> 00:51:35,120
Speaker 2: they can stay healthy. But I just that's one of

1136
00:51:35,120 --> 00:51:38,040
Speaker 2: those things where that's what's gonna win the game.

1137
00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:39,479
Speaker 1: It's whoever does better.

1138
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:42,879
Speaker 2: If Drake May continues this pace of being extremely good

1139
00:51:42,920 --> 00:51:47,040
Speaker 2: against the blitz despite how young he is, like the

1140
00:51:47,239 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: Bucks are gonna be in trouble because if you don't

1141
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:52,160
Speaker 2: get home on those things. That leaves you very vulnerable

1142
00:51:52,200 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 2: in the secondary. And Drake Man can just go over top.

1143
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:56,160
Speaker 2: We know he is a cannon of an arm to

1144
00:51:56,160 --> 00:51:59,040
Speaker 2: do that. But if you do get to him, and

1145
00:51:59,080 --> 00:52:01,400
Speaker 2: you do rattle him, and you take advantage of his

1146
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:04,520
Speaker 2: youth a little bit, then you know that you can

1147
00:52:04,560 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 2: you can potentially stop this Patriots offense. But it's going

1148
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,800
Speaker 2: to be a really it's a really really good matchup.

1149
00:52:09,920 --> 00:52:10,200
Speaker 3: It is.

1150
00:52:10,400 --> 00:52:14,400
Speaker 4: It's a fantastic matchup and seven touchdowns, zero picks against

1151
00:52:14,440 --> 00:52:16,719
Speaker 4: the Blitz. So something's going to have to give on

1152
00:52:16,719 --> 00:52:20,160
Speaker 4: one side. Whether it's Drake Bay or or the Bucks.

1153
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:22,920
Speaker 1: Going to get burned real bad, I don't know.

1154
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:26,239
Speaker 4: It's the another interesting matchup. I think it's going to

1155
00:52:26,320 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 4: be the tight ends versus the Bucks linebackers because you've

1156
00:52:30,120 --> 00:52:33,880
Speaker 4: Hunter Henry and Austin Hooper who could make a real

1157
00:52:34,200 --> 00:52:37,239
Speaker 4: difference in this game. And so using multi tight end

1158
00:52:37,280 --> 00:52:42,000
Speaker 4: sets is an area where the Bucks defense struggles. I

1159
00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:43,400
Speaker 4: didn't want to use that word because I know that

1160
00:52:43,600 --> 00:52:44,920
Speaker 4: you love the Bucks, but it is.

1161
00:52:45,160 --> 00:52:47,480
Speaker 1: But I'm also very self aware of But.

1162
00:52:47,400 --> 00:52:49,880
Speaker 4: That's just if there's a weakness and that defense is

1163
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:53,960
Speaker 4: very very good if there's a weakness that is it

1164
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:56,600
Speaker 4: so be interesting to see how the Patriots, you know.

1165
00:52:57,200 --> 00:52:59,440
Speaker 2: Use I don't know how Van David gets up in

1166
00:52:59,440 --> 00:53:02,640
Speaker 2: the morning, does it just like like he he The

1167
00:53:02,680 --> 00:53:05,239
Speaker 2: way that he is, like he is surpassing any and

1168
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:07,959
Speaker 2: all expectations at the big age of thirty five years

1169
00:53:07,960 --> 00:53:09,680
Speaker 2: old is just incredible.

1170
00:53:09,680 --> 00:53:11,120
Speaker 1: He's playing at such an amazing level.

1171
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,319
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean that that's a place where you're

1172
00:53:13,360 --> 00:53:17,960
Speaker 2: potentially vulnerable because tight ends present mismatches regardless either way.

1173
00:53:18,120 --> 00:53:20,279
Speaker 4: I have to say, I think it's really fun if

1174
00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,680
Speaker 4: you think about a year ago or two years ago

1175
00:53:23,200 --> 00:53:25,680
Speaker 4: that we'd be talking about the Patriots box as a

1176
00:53:25,719 --> 00:53:27,880
Speaker 4: game of the week. I think it's kind of with

1177
00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:30,319
Speaker 4: Baker Mayfield and Drake May I think I think that's

1178
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:31,880
Speaker 4: pretty cool. There's a lot about the league in a

1179
00:53:31,920 --> 00:53:32,239
Speaker 4: good way.

1180
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,360
Speaker 2: It does, it doesn't, and really it's any given Sunday,

1181
00:53:35,400 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 2: all right, we are going because I'm not done talking

1182
00:53:37,480 --> 00:53:40,439
Speaker 2: about Drake may Apparently we're gonna revisit the twenty twenty

1183
00:53:40,480 --> 00:53:41,160
Speaker 2: four quarterback.

1184
00:53:41,239 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 4: Oh my favorite segment's coming.

1185
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,040
Speaker 2: Up coming up after this. You're listening to Fox Football Saturday.

1186
00:53:46,320 --> 00:53:48,719
Speaker 2: I think our I think our producers picked up on

1187
00:53:48,760 --> 00:53:54,200
Speaker 2: how angry I was earlier. I'm caring Vitalite. That's Tracy Sandler.

1188
00:53:55,560 --> 00:53:59,640
Speaker 2: We went through a whole thing, This YouTube, TV, ESPN, Disney,

1189
00:54:00,120 --> 00:54:04,080
Speaker 2: ABC thing is really I don't appreciate turning on my

1190
00:54:04,160 --> 00:54:07,800
Speaker 2: quadbox and having like the most limited and depressing, depressing options.

1191
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:09,640
Speaker 3: It's fair, it's it's not fun.

1192
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:12,520
Speaker 2: It's not fun. It's now cost me to college football Saturdays.

1193
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:14,239
Speaker 2: It costs me Monday night football, and.

1194
00:54:14,239 --> 00:54:16,120
Speaker 4: I really don't want it to cost you this Monday

1195
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:17,719
Speaker 4: night football is not a good game.

1196
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 1: I'm saying.

1197
00:54:19,160 --> 00:54:22,239
Speaker 2: And I'm not downloading another app Martin, I'm not doing it.

1198
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:27,120
Speaker 2: They're also just not going to like I'm not gonna

1199
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 2: jump through hoops. I already jump through hoops by all

1200
00:54:29,040 --> 00:54:30,080
Speaker 2: the subscriptions I pay for.

1201
00:54:30,440 --> 00:54:33,160
Speaker 4: That's fair. Yeah, it's a lot. It's unacceptable.

1202
00:54:33,160 --> 00:54:33,399
Speaker 3: Really.

1203
00:54:34,239 --> 00:54:37,120
Speaker 2: One app I do have downloaded, though, is the iHeartRadio app,

1204
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:40,200

1211
00:54:54,239 --> 00:54:58,000
Speaker 2: pop up at the top of your screen. All right,

1212
00:54:58,080 --> 00:54:59,960
Speaker 2: I want to talk about something that I think is

1213
00:55:00,040 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 2: gonna be a little fun because I'm not done talking

1214
00:55:02,640 --> 00:55:03,359
Speaker 2: about Drake May.

1215
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:05,680
Speaker 4: You should never be done.

1216
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:07,759
Speaker 1: I should never be done talking about Drake May.

1217
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:10,480
Speaker 2: You know, like, there's a satisfaction for me because I

1218
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: called it, and I called it for a very unscientific

1219
00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:15,560
Speaker 2: reason that he was gonna be really good. And it's

1220
00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,319
Speaker 2: because actually a friend of mine was dating Drake's older brother,

1221
00:55:18,840 --> 00:55:22,239
Speaker 2: and his older brother is it was one of the

1222
00:55:22,480 --> 00:55:25,680
Speaker 2: other d one athletes in the May family that are

1223
00:55:25,719 --> 00:55:29,520
Speaker 2: older than Drake. Drake is the youngest. And as someone

1224
00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,719
Speaker 2: who has I have nannied like three boys, families of

1225
00:55:33,760 --> 00:55:37,799
Speaker 2: three boys, multiple families actually of three boys, and the

1226
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:41,560
Speaker 2: youngest one is always the best one at everything because

1227
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:44,080
Speaker 2: they have tried to keep up with their older brothers.

1228
00:55:44,480 --> 00:55:47,000
Speaker 2: They often got beat up by their older brothers and

1229
00:55:47,040 --> 00:55:49,560
Speaker 2: it toughened them up. I used to tell the two

1230
00:55:49,560 --> 00:55:51,600
Speaker 2: older ones all the time, like you're just making him

1231
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:54,279
Speaker 2: more tough and whatever than you, and he's just gonna

1232
00:55:54,280 --> 00:55:56,640
Speaker 2: grow up. To be tougher and faster and stronger than you,

1233
00:55:57,320 --> 00:56:00,279
Speaker 2: and most of the time that's what happens. It's my

1234
00:56:00,320 --> 00:56:03,319
Speaker 2: theory on like younger siblings is that they spend their

1235
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,080
Speaker 2: entire lives trying to keep up with their older siblings,

1236
00:56:05,120 --> 00:56:07,560
Speaker 2: so they developed things quicker and they just kind of

1237
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:09,600
Speaker 2: get better at things. And I was like, Drake May

1238
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:12,960
Speaker 2: is the youngest of an entire family of D one athletes.

1239
00:56:13,360 --> 00:56:15,279
Speaker 2: This kid's going to be amazing, and so that is

1240
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:16,080
Speaker 2: I called that.

1241
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:20,279
Speaker 4: I actually would say that that's somewhat scientific, right, Like, I.

1242
00:56:20,200 --> 00:56:22,680
Speaker 2: Mean, I'm sure there's some psychology behind that that I'm

1243
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:24,880
Speaker 2: com vast unqualified.

1244
00:56:25,080 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 4: I feel like you have evidence, some stats, and I

1245
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:30,000
Speaker 4: feel that that's somewhat scientific, all.

1246
00:56:29,960 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 2: Right, all right, But nonetheless, Drake was part of Drake

1247
00:56:34,600 --> 00:56:37,600
Speaker 2: May was part of a what was considered to be

1248
00:56:37,719 --> 00:56:40,839
Speaker 2: a very stacked twenty twenty four quarterback class in which

1249
00:56:41,080 --> 00:56:45,760
Speaker 2: six quarterbacks went in the top twelve Caleb Williams, Jadeen Daniels,

1250
00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:47,239
Speaker 2: Drake May, Michael Pennix.

1251
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 1: JJ McCarthy, and Bo Nix.

1252
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:53,200
Speaker 2: And now that we are into these guys second seasons,

1253
00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:56,319
Speaker 2: what have we learned Tracy that I want to know,

1254
00:56:56,480 --> 00:57:00,880
Speaker 2: Like Kayleb Williams obviously went first overall Astros season in

1255
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:05,400
Speaker 2: Chicago last year, historically bad in a lot of some

1256
00:57:05,480 --> 00:57:08,320
Speaker 2: of the advanced metrics, while also having the fifth best

1257
00:57:08,520 --> 00:57:11,919
Speaker 2: season of any Bear's quarterback ever, which is insane. Took

1258
00:57:12,200 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 2: sixty eight sacks, just an insane year. Like that, it's

1259
00:57:16,840 --> 00:57:20,800
Speaker 2: kind of a wash. Meanwhile, Jane and Daniels popping off

1260
00:57:20,960 --> 00:57:23,720
Speaker 2: in Washington has a phenomenal rookie season.

1261
00:57:24,240 --> 00:57:26,000
Speaker 1: But then now.

1262
00:57:25,800 --> 00:57:28,800
Speaker 2: You look at both of those guys in particular, and

1263
00:57:29,280 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 2: the narratives have kind of switched, and I think, like

1264
00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,120
Speaker 2: it's a cautionary tale with as much as I love

1265
00:57:34,200 --> 00:57:36,960
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels, but like to crown a guy before we

1266
00:57:37,040 --> 00:57:40,720
Speaker 2: have a larger body of work to you know, back

1267
00:57:40,840 --> 00:57:43,600
Speaker 2: that all up and then to all with Caleb Williams,

1268
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:46,280
Speaker 2: it's like, well, situation matters, and he's now in a

1269
00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:49,320
Speaker 2: vastly better situation and he looks vastly better.

1270
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:52,680
Speaker 1: Drake may Is just apparently it doesn't matter.

1271
00:57:52,720 --> 00:57:54,919
Speaker 2: I was so afraid he was gonna get killed when

1272
00:57:55,040 --> 00:57:57,280
Speaker 2: they brought him in midway through last season because of

1273
00:57:57,480 --> 00:58:00,520
Speaker 2: how bad that offensive line was in New England. Turns

1274
00:58:00,520 --> 00:58:02,280
Speaker 2: out it seems like it was the best thing could

1275
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 2: have ever.

1276
00:58:02,560 --> 00:58:03,120
Speaker 1: Happened for him.

1277
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:06,120
Speaker 2: So I want to know your take on where you

1278
00:58:06,160 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 2: see some of these guys now in their second season,

1279
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:10,919
Speaker 2: and who do you think is at the top.

1280
00:58:11,080 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 4: Well, I think the one thing we learned is that

1281
00:58:13,760 --> 00:58:15,840
Speaker 4: being a young quarterback in the NFL is hard and

1282
00:58:15,840 --> 00:58:18,600
Speaker 4: you can't judge someone based on the season entirely good

1283
00:58:18,760 --> 00:58:21,200
Speaker 4: or bad. And I still think Jayden Daniels is going

1284
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:23,240
Speaker 4: to be a really good quarterback in this league, but

1285
00:58:23,760 --> 00:58:26,480
Speaker 4: things are different. Circumstances are different this year than they

1286
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,880
Speaker 4: were last year. He's been hurt a bunch, he's hurt now.

1287
00:58:29,200 --> 00:58:32,080
Speaker 4: So I think that's the one thing is that this

1288
00:58:32,200 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 4: idea I know we've talked about before that you throw

1289
00:58:34,200 --> 00:58:36,760
Speaker 4: a guy out there and if he's not your star

1290
00:58:36,960 --> 00:58:39,400
Speaker 4: day one, well then it's over, because that's clearly not

1291
00:58:39,440 --> 00:58:42,240
Speaker 4: the case. And I think Caleb Williams, of course, is

1292
00:58:42,800 --> 00:58:45,120
Speaker 4: a great example of that. We see how much better

1293
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 4: he is doing under Ben Johnson, how much better the

1294
00:58:47,200 --> 00:58:50,960
Speaker 4: Bears are doing under Ben Johnson. Drake may you know

1295
00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:54,960
Speaker 4: we've discussed him at large. JJ McCarthy my favorite subject ever.

1296
00:58:55,360 --> 00:58:59,040
Speaker 4: He's an interesting one because he's in He is technically

1297
00:58:59,040 --> 00:59:01,480
Speaker 4: in his second season, but he's played three games in

1298
00:59:01,520 --> 00:59:05,000
Speaker 4: the NFL and he's won two out of three of them,

1299
00:59:05,280 --> 00:59:08,120
Speaker 4: and we see the flashes, but I think we saw

1300
00:59:08,200 --> 00:59:10,280
Speaker 4: last week he had some really good throws. He had

1301
00:59:10,320 --> 00:59:12,960
Speaker 4: some bad throws, but he won, and that is one

1302
00:59:12,960 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 4: thing about him is he wins. But it'll be kind

1303
00:59:15,040 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 4: of interesting to see how this continues throughout the season.

1304
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:19,880
Speaker 4: I think we all know I am big into Jake

1305
00:59:20,400 --> 00:59:22,880
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy and think that he is going to just

1306
00:59:22,960 --> 00:59:26,680
Speaker 4: be a tremendous winning quarterback. But he's the smallest sample

1307
00:59:26,760 --> 00:59:29,560
Speaker 4: size that we have so far. So this brings me

1308
00:59:29,640 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 4: to Michael Pennix and bow Nicks, both very interesting situations.

1309
00:59:35,800 --> 00:59:38,400
Speaker 4: I think Michael Pennix has been very up and down.

1310
00:59:39,840 --> 00:59:43,240
Speaker 4: Bow Knicks, I think there's starting to be some concern

1311
00:59:43,280 --> 00:59:48,040
Speaker 4: in Denver because his decision making is looking not that great.

1312
00:59:48,120 --> 00:59:51,800
Speaker 4: He doesn't seem to be improving and progressive progressing. They

1313
00:59:51,840 --> 00:59:54,400
Speaker 4: did win the other night ten to seven over the Raiders.

1314
00:59:55,080 --> 00:59:57,439
Speaker 4: Raiders not great, but they did win ten to seven

1315
00:59:57,480 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 4: over the Raiders. So those are the two, frankly, that

1316
01:00:01,320 --> 01:00:04,960
Speaker 4: I have the least confidence in going forward.

1317
01:00:05,520 --> 01:00:08,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think that there is a conversation

1318
01:00:08,960 --> 01:00:13,080
Speaker 2: to be had about Bonix and how well what Sean

1319
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:16,080
Speaker 2: Payton is asking him to do actually marries with his.

1320
01:00:16,040 --> 01:00:19,760
Speaker 1: Skill set, right. I think that they, like you need

1321
01:00:19,800 --> 01:00:22,560
Speaker 1: to talk about that. Ah.

1322
01:00:23,720 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy is, well, I'm constantly at war with myself

1323
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:29,640
Speaker 2: because I do believe in JJ McCarthy two, But I

1324
01:00:29,680 --> 01:00:32,280
Speaker 2: also do not acknowledge wins as a quarterback stat. That's

1325
01:00:32,320 --> 01:00:35,360
Speaker 2: just something fundamentally in the way that I view football

1326
01:00:35,400 --> 01:00:37,600
Speaker 2: that I can't get on board with. So, yes, he's

1327
01:00:37,640 --> 01:00:40,560
Speaker 2: a winner, but like there's so much like you're gonna

1328
01:00:40,560 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 2: if you're gonna call football the ultimate team game, then

1329
01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: one player cannot get credit for an entire win or

1330
01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:47,600
Speaker 2: for an entire loss.

1331
01:00:47,600 --> 01:00:50,400
Speaker 4: Oh, that was my question because I think quarterback there

1332
01:00:50,400 --> 01:00:51,920
Speaker 4: are a lot of people, not you, but there are

1333
01:00:51,960 --> 01:00:54,120
Speaker 4: people who don't think it's a quarterback stat, but but

1334
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:57,600
Speaker 4: do blame the quarterback. I don't think it's a quarterback stat,

1335
01:00:58,040 --> 01:01:01,840
Speaker 4: but I think there is something about out him that

1336
01:01:02,320 --> 01:01:04,160
Speaker 4: helps lead a team.

1337
01:01:04,680 --> 01:01:06,640
Speaker 1: Is it? Is it his alter ego? Nine?

1338
01:01:06,800 --> 01:01:09,520
Speaker 2: It might be I need to get your take on

1339
01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:10,520
Speaker 2: on on nine.

1340
01:01:10,680 --> 01:01:11,080
Speaker 1: Tracy.

1341
01:01:11,400 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 4: I love JJ McCarthy, but like I'm into it.

1342
01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:15,200
Speaker 3: It's so J. L.

1343
01:01:15,360 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 4: Mccartny because it's just so it's like kind of who

1344
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:19,200
Speaker 4: he was in college.

1345
01:01:19,240 --> 01:01:20,240
Speaker 3: It's just so him.

1346
01:01:20,840 --> 01:01:22,280
Speaker 5: He's like, I mean, you got it.

1347
01:01:22,320 --> 01:01:23,919
Speaker 4: This is the other thing with J. J. McCarthy. I thinks,

1348
01:01:23,920 --> 01:01:26,800
Speaker 4: soon as you forget, he was molded by Jim Harbaugh.

1349
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:28,920
Speaker 4: Like from the time he was in high school.

1350
01:01:28,960 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 2: He was born in the darkness, molded for the time

1351
01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:33,360
Speaker 2: he was in high school.

1352
01:01:33,440 --> 01:01:38,200
Speaker 4: He and Jim Harbaugh started a really good friendship mentorship relationship.

1353
01:01:38,280 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 4: When JJ went to Florida and his family wasn't around

1354
01:01:42,880 --> 01:01:45,400
Speaker 4: and he was always texting with Jim Harbaugh. Jim Harbaugh

1355
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:48,560
Speaker 4: has molded this kid, and he could not be more

1356
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:49,280
Speaker 4: Jim Harvaugh.

1357
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,680
Speaker 2: You know what, It's a good point because that is

1358
01:01:51,720 --> 01:01:54,080
Speaker 2: that is that seemed that fits, you know, with the

1359
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,560
Speaker 2: context of like how close him and Jim Harbor are

1360
01:01:57,640 --> 01:02:01,640
Speaker 2: like having an alter ego name Now that is that

1361
01:02:01,800 --> 01:02:04,240
Speaker 2: screams Jim Harbaugh on the war Paint.

1362
01:02:04,400 --> 01:02:07,000
Speaker 4: I mean, honestly, JJ McCarthy's just the best in the

1363
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:07,520
Speaker 4: whole world.

1364
01:02:08,120 --> 01:02:10,400
Speaker 2: Like he's like he's a tremendous locker room guy, Like

1365
01:02:10,400 --> 01:02:13,840
Speaker 2: you can tell that, Like he just he like he has.

1366
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,160
Speaker 1: He has the riz, as the kids say.

1367
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,680
Speaker 4: He does have the RIZ, and I do think maybe

1368
01:02:18,720 --> 01:02:20,600
Speaker 4: winnings out of quarterbacks at But like I said, I

1369
01:02:20,600 --> 01:02:23,520
Speaker 4: think there is something about him too that makes everybody

1370
01:02:23,560 --> 01:02:25,720
Speaker 4: else on the field want to be their best, and

1371
01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:29,400
Speaker 4: that that is sometimes you know, playing for someone and

1372
01:02:29,440 --> 01:02:32,480
Speaker 4: really I don't know that. I think that that's a leader, that's.

1373
01:02:32,320 --> 01:02:34,360
Speaker 2: A leaderer and you need and you need to be

1374
01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: one as as as a quarterback. So I get that.

1375
01:02:37,480 --> 01:02:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm written for him. Like I said, I I'm written

1376
01:02:39,920 --> 01:02:42,400
Speaker 2: for him. I love the Vikings, I love their coaching staff,

1377
01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:43,280
Speaker 2: I love their roster.

1378
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I want them to.

1379
01:02:44,440 --> 01:02:47,760
Speaker 2: Do well and they need JJ McCarthy to do well

1380
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:48,880
Speaker 2: to do that, so I want.

1381
01:02:48,800 --> 01:02:52,160
Speaker 4: I'm wearing my school sweat, the Skull Sister sweatshirt today.

1382
01:02:52,600 --> 01:02:55,479
Speaker 2: You never experience school in person. You need to school

1383
01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:56,880
Speaker 2: and an incredible thing.

1384
01:02:57,160 --> 01:02:58,520
Speaker 4: Absolutely, I know they.

1385
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 2: They stole it from the Iceland national team soccer team,

1386
01:03:01,480 --> 01:03:04,280
Speaker 2: but I don't like in a stadium, in a pack

1387
01:03:04,400 --> 01:03:07,680
Speaker 2: stadium with a snow falling down pregame because there's fake snow.

1388
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:10,680
Speaker 1: It's the most incredible thing.

1389
01:03:10,840 --> 01:03:13,520
Speaker 2: And another Michigan man that we need to get to

1390
01:03:13,640 --> 01:03:15,480
Speaker 2: is actually Martin Weiss with an update.

1391
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:20,800
Speaker 5: College football scores.

1392
01:03:20,880 --> 01:03:25,120
Speaker 8: The most surprising one right now Auburn with a twenty

1393
01:03:25,160 --> 01:03:28,000
Speaker 8: to ten lead over sixteenth three Vanderbilt at the half.

1394
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,600
Speaker 8: Auburn fired their coach last week. You freeze. They're on interium.

1395
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:33,479
Speaker 8: They're four and five on the year, one in five

1396
01:03:33,560 --> 01:03:36,360
Speaker 8: in the SEC. Vanderbilts already lost two games in conference,

1397
01:03:36,560 --> 01:03:39,040
Speaker 8: still sixteen to three team with playoff hopes.

1398
01:03:39,400 --> 01:03:44,600
Speaker 2: The interim coach first, the interim coach like, I don't

1399
01:03:44,600 --> 01:03:45,880
Speaker 2: know if you want to call it a curse.

1400
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:50,560
Speaker 1: I like, I don't know, like interim coach boosts. I

1401
01:03:50,600 --> 01:03:50,920
Speaker 1: wish it.

1402
01:03:51,080 --> 01:03:53,160
Speaker 5: I want something that has another eye there.

1403
01:03:53,280 --> 01:03:55,920
Speaker 8: I want it to be like the interim coach ignition

1404
01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:58,920
Speaker 8: or something like I don't know what it is, but

1405
01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:01,800
Speaker 8: I don't know what it is edition.

1406
01:04:02,680 --> 01:04:04,400
Speaker 2: I don't know if we're allowed to sing that song anywork.

1407
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:06,640

01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:07,160
Speaker 4: coaching nition.

1409
01:04:07,560 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 8: And there's something to like when the head guy gets fired,

1410
01:04:10,720 --> 01:04:13,640
Speaker 8: everybody's like, wait a minute, everybody could get fired here.

1411
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:15,160
Speaker 5: Let's go ahead and like try our bets.

1412
01:04:15,160 --> 01:04:17,320
Speaker 8: I don't know what it is, but you know, we'll

1413
01:04:17,360 --> 01:04:20,480
Speaker 8: see if Auburn's able to Dixon was knock vandabuil out

Speaker 2: I am actually someone who can shed some light on

1442
01:05:35,440 --> 01:05:38,800
Speaker 2: the Auburn situation. Not someone that went to Auburn, but

1443
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:42,680
Speaker 2: somebody that's very familiar with their biggest rival. Is our

1449
01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,520
Speaker 12: I did go to Alabama, Auburn's art rival, a fact

1450
01:06:00,600 --> 01:06:03,600
Speaker 12: that my grandmother still to this day hasn't forgiven me for.

1451
01:06:04,120 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 6: Oh I grew up.

1452

01:06:07,840 --> 01:06:08,760
Speaker 1: Okay this I did not know.

1454
01:06:09,040 --> 01:06:12,000
Speaker 12: Yeah, I grew up an Auburn fan, went to Alabama,

1455
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:14,640
Speaker 12: spent ten years working in Gainesville covering the Gators.

1456
01:06:14,680 --> 01:06:15,760
Speaker 11: I'm just confused.

1457
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:19,240
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Claire like has your has half your family

01:06:23,200 --> 01:06:24,680
Speaker 2: the competitors.

1461
01:06:24,880 --> 01:06:28,080
Speaker 12: As long as I hate Tennessee and Georgia, I'm okay.

1462
01:06:28,560 --> 01:06:30,760
Speaker 2: I will not wear that gaudy orange. I will not

1463
01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:31,120
Speaker 2: do it.

1464
01:06:31,160 --> 01:06:36,760
Speaker 1: That's my favorite line from the Blind Palt Cassidy.

1465
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:39,560
Speaker 2: You are You're so familiar with so many different teams

1466
01:06:39,560 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 2: because you covered the Green Bay Packers, You're from SEC country.

1467
01:06:43,120 --> 01:06:46,040
Speaker 2: You now work for the Carolina Panthers. Uh so I

1468
01:06:46,040 --> 01:06:47,720
Speaker 2: think that you have you have a really good handle

1469
01:06:47,760 --> 01:06:49,600
Speaker 2: on the NFC, just kind of in general.

1470
01:06:49,680 --> 01:06:51,479
Speaker 1: But I want to.

1471
01:06:51,400 --> 01:06:55,120
Speaker 2: Talk a little bit more about the Carolina Panthers because

1472
01:06:55,480 --> 01:06:57,720
Speaker 2: when we talk about I always talk about you know,

1473
01:06:57,760 --> 01:06:59,720
Speaker 2: I was a team reporter for the Buccaneers, and so

1474
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,240
Speaker 2: I aways get sensitive about the fact that nobody talks

1475
01:07:02,240 --> 01:07:05,040
Speaker 2: about the Buccaneers. And if nobody's talking about the Buccaneers,

1476
01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,720
Speaker 2: they sure as heck aren't talking about the Panthers right now.

1477
01:07:08,120 --> 01:07:11,080
Speaker 2: Who you were You were at that game at Lambeau,

1478
01:07:11,200 --> 01:07:11,640
Speaker 2: were you not?

1479
01:07:11,960 --> 01:07:12,400
Speaker 12: Yeah?

1480
01:07:12,520 --> 01:07:13,240
Speaker 11: I was there.

1481
01:07:13,480 --> 01:07:16,440
Speaker 12: It was so I thought it was.

1482
01:07:16,360 --> 01:07:17,040
Speaker 11: A great game.

1483
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,320
Speaker 12: Afterwards, I know that Michael Parsons called it boring football

1484
01:07:23,480 --> 01:07:25,960
Speaker 12: and it was funny. The offensive coordinator, Brad is It

1485
01:07:26,040 --> 01:07:28,280
Speaker 12: said on Thursday, he was like, he was like, I

1486
01:07:28,400 --> 01:07:30,240
Speaker 12: laughed when I heard that quote because I got back

1487
01:07:30,240 --> 01:07:31,200
Speaker 12: to the locker room.

1488
01:07:31,040 --> 01:07:34,920
Speaker 6: To a text for my dad with Tampa for years.

1489
01:07:34,600 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 12: That said that was beautiful football. That's exactly how the

1490
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:38,320
Speaker 12: Bucks won a Super Bowl.

1491
01:07:39,320 --> 01:07:40,520
Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah.

1492
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,440
Speaker 2: It's like keeping the keeping the Chiefs out of the

1493
01:07:42,560 --> 01:07:47,200
Speaker 2: end zone and a completely defensive performance. All right, So like,

1494
01:07:47,240 --> 01:07:51,720
Speaker 2: what what about the Panthers? Should we be zeroing in

1495
01:07:51,720 --> 01:07:54,280
Speaker 2: on here? Where's like with the most improved unit? I mean,

1496
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:56,520
Speaker 2: I want to talk about that offensive line. You know,

1497
01:07:56,560 --> 01:08:00,920
Speaker 2: I know your coaches Harold Goodwin and Joe Gilbert because

1498
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,960
Speaker 2: they were in Tampa. Those guys, I mean this, this

1499
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,400
Speaker 2: unit has gotten so much better.

1500
01:08:06,320 --> 01:08:11,120
Speaker 12: Harold Goodwin and Joe Gilbert arguably are like the most

1501
01:08:11,320 --> 01:08:14,360
Speaker 12: underrated coaches.

1502
01:08:13,600 --> 01:08:14,919
Speaker 6: At least in the NFC right.

1503
01:08:14,840 --> 01:08:17,760
Speaker 12: Now in my opinion. What that offensive line did. And

1504
01:08:17,800 --> 01:08:20,760
Speaker 12: it started last year. But you know last year it

1505
01:08:20,880 --> 01:08:23,519
Speaker 12: was like, hey, let's put one hundred and sixty million

1506
01:08:23,560 --> 01:08:25,679
Speaker 12: dollars on the offensive line and see what happens. Oh,

1507
01:08:25,760 --> 01:08:28,320
Speaker 12: good things happen and that was with Robert Hunt and

1508
01:08:28,360 --> 01:08:31,679
Speaker 12: Damian Lewis. This year, you lose Robert Hunt in week two,

1509
01:08:31,960 --> 01:08:34,559
Speaker 12: you lose Austin Corbett. In week two, you put in

1510
01:08:34,600 --> 01:08:38,720
Speaker 12: a backup center, a backup right guard, and then in

1511
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:39,599
Speaker 12: week four you.

1512
01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 11: Lose both of those guys as well.

1513
01:08:41,439 --> 01:08:45,360
Speaker 12: And what they did this past all season was kept

1514
01:08:45,640 --> 01:08:49,320
Speaker 12: everyone from that offensive line unit. They kept everyone from

1515
01:08:49,400 --> 01:08:51,920
Speaker 12: last year to this year. And when you can keep

1516
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,960
Speaker 12: your top nine guys and cross train them, they purposely

1517
01:08:56,040 --> 01:08:57,080
Speaker 12: cross trained them.

1518
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:58,599
Speaker 6: All all all season.

1519
01:08:59,400 --> 01:09:03,400
Speaker 12: And so when you get into situation, yeah, that would

1520
01:09:03,720 --> 01:09:06,640
Speaker 12: like cripple a lot of teams, which the Panther's no

1521
01:09:06,680 --> 01:09:09,280
Speaker 12: better than anybody because a situation like this crippled them

1522
01:09:09,280 --> 01:09:12,320
Speaker 12: in twenty twenty three. When you get into that situation

1523
01:09:12,360 --> 01:09:14,479
Speaker 12: where you're moving guys around, it's not as big of

1524
01:09:14,520 --> 01:09:17,120
Speaker 12: a deal because now you can say, hey, caid May's

1525
01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:20,960
Speaker 12: get in there and snap, because you know, you actually

1526
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:24,080
Speaker 12: started at center for ten games last year or whatever

1527
01:09:24,120 --> 01:09:29,599
Speaker 12: it was. And then when cad May's, when Alston Corbett

1528
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:33,559
Speaker 12: came back from my r, Taylor Zavala, who was Robert

1529
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,920
Speaker 12: Hunt's back up at right guard, got hurt and it

1530
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 12: was like, hey, Corbett, go in there and play right guard.

1531
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:40,280
Speaker 12: And then there was a game where Damian Lewis got

1532
01:09:40,320 --> 01:09:41,479
Speaker 12: hurt and it was like, hey, go over there and

1533
01:09:41,520 --> 01:09:44,160
Speaker 12: play left guard. Freddie Christensen, who has started at all

1534
01:09:44,160 --> 01:09:46,640
Speaker 12: five positions, go in there and play right guard. Like

1535
01:09:46,680 --> 01:09:50,599
Speaker 12: they've moved guys around because they set themselves up so

1536
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:52,760
Speaker 12: that if a situation such as this were to ever

1537
01:09:52,840 --> 01:09:57,040
Speaker 12: happen again, it would not be detrimental. And my god,

1538
01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:00,200
Speaker 12: has it paid off. I think you know, I saw

1539
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:04,040
Speaker 12: the other day that, like Bryce's pressure number versus the Packers,

1540
01:10:04,080 --> 01:10:07,479
Speaker 12: for example, Michael Parsons for the first time in his

1541
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 12: career did not register a single pressure in the entire game.

1542
01:10:11,320 --> 01:10:15,360
Speaker 12: That's incredible, and only I think Rashaun Gary only had

1543
01:10:15,400 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 12: a couple. There were nine pressures for the entire game.

1544
01:10:18,439 --> 01:10:21,479
Speaker 12: If you get through an entire game with against that

1545
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,519
Speaker 12: Packer's defensive front with only nine pressures and one sack, like,

1546
01:10:26,680 --> 01:10:30,080
Speaker 12: that's a pretty good day. That that number more than

1547
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,799
Speaker 12: anything else, more than one hundred and two yards from Bryce,

1548
01:10:32,880 --> 01:10:36,040
Speaker 12: more than the rushing yards from Rico, more than more

1549
01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:39,639
Speaker 12: than Jordan Love's stats. The nine pressures with one sack

1550
01:10:39,720 --> 01:10:41,760
Speaker 12: against that defensive front. I think tells the story of

1551
01:10:41,760 --> 01:10:44,240
Speaker 12: that game more than anything, and it was exactly what

1552
01:10:44,320 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 12: they wanted to do, which was get the ball out

1553
01:10:46,520 --> 01:10:50,760
Speaker 12: quick and run the ball and avoid that pressure. It

1554
01:10:50,800 --> 01:10:52,760
Speaker 12: was a perfect game plan and you can do that

1555
01:10:52,800 --> 01:10:56,080
Speaker 12: because of how they built that offensive line with Goodwin

1556
01:10:56,160 --> 01:10:57,400
Speaker 12: and Gilbert this past year.

1557
01:10:58,040 --> 01:11:00,639
Speaker 4: We were talking before this about the twenty twenty four

1558
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,000
Speaker 4: quarterback class and how you know sometimes quarterbacks need time,

1559
01:11:04,040 --> 01:11:07,280
Speaker 4: et cetera. Bryce Young now a few years into the league.

1560
01:11:07,400 --> 01:11:10,320
Speaker 4: It's been up and down, but how have you seen

1561
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:12,400
Speaker 4: the growth? And I was I know he came back

1562
01:11:12,400 --> 01:11:16,679
Speaker 4: from injury, but he's coming into his own so to speak,

1563
01:11:16,760 --> 01:11:19,280
Speaker 4: kind of how have you seen that growth? And what

1564
01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:22,080
Speaker 4: do you think is contributed to that, especially of late.

1565
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:25,720
Speaker 12: A couple of things. I think, first of all, I

1566
01:11:25,760 --> 01:11:29,280
Speaker 12: would almost just consider twenty twenty three a lost year now.

1567
01:11:29,320 --> 01:11:30,639
Speaker 12: If anything, it called him.

1568
01:11:30,479 --> 01:11:32,880
Speaker 1: What not to do, which I think do you need that?

1569
01:11:33,120 --> 01:11:34,960
Speaker 4: I think that it's important.

1570
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:38,120
Speaker 12: Yeah, And that allowed twenty twenty four to kind of

1571
01:11:38,120 --> 01:11:42,240
Speaker 12: be a Mulligan rookie season. And that's really how Da've

1572
01:11:42,240 --> 01:11:45,280
Speaker 12: Canalis treated it. From the very beginning. He said, I'm

1573
01:11:45,400 --> 01:11:49,639
Speaker 12: viewing I view this as Bryce's rookie season, and he

1574
01:11:49,720 --> 01:11:53,240
Speaker 12: took that approach with him and started building up from

1575
01:11:53,280 --> 01:11:56,840
Speaker 12: the ground up and instead of, you know, trying to

1576
01:11:56,920 --> 01:11:59,800
Speaker 12: marry it with whatever happened in twenty twenty three. And

1577
01:12:00,640 --> 01:12:02,559
Speaker 12: the biggest thing he said when he got in here,

1578
01:12:02,720 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 12: or when Dave Canals got here, was I want Bryce's

1579
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:07,560
Speaker 12: throwing time to get down to two point seven seconds

1580
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,080
Speaker 12: and either the ball is out of his hand by

1581
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,400
Speaker 12: then or he's on to the quote unquote second play.

1582
01:12:14,320 --> 01:12:17,120
Speaker 12: And it was something he mentioned having done with both

1583
01:12:17,520 --> 01:12:20,760
Speaker 12: Russ Gino and Baker Mayfield, and you go back and

1584
01:12:20,800 --> 01:12:24,200
Speaker 12: you watch their throwing numbers in those years, and that's

1585
01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:26,280
Speaker 12: and it did. It changed, It got down to a

1586
01:12:26,360 --> 01:12:30,960
Speaker 12: realm that amount of time, and last year started that process.

1587
01:12:31,160 --> 01:12:35,160
Speaker 12: This year has really really amped it up. And because

1588
01:12:35,160 --> 01:12:37,840
Speaker 12: of that, like Pryce is either getting the ball out

1589
01:12:37,920 --> 01:12:41,880
Speaker 12: quickly or he's moving on to what they call, like

1590
01:12:41,920 --> 01:12:46,160
Speaker 12: I said, the second play, that quickly, and it has

1591
01:12:46,200 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 12: made such a difference. His passing numbers are not gaudy,

1592
01:12:49,160 --> 01:12:52,639
Speaker 12: they're far from it. But he's taking care of the ball,

1593
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,599
Speaker 12: he's getting them into the right play and he's keeping

1594
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:59,240
Speaker 12: it moving. And that's the biggest thing I mean he

1595
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:02,880
Speaker 12: had he's had a franchise or tied a franchise record

1596
01:13:03,280 --> 01:13:07,160
Speaker 12: his rookie season with something like sixty two sacks or

1597
01:13:07,160 --> 01:13:12,160
Speaker 12: something atrocious like that. And this year I was looking

1598
01:13:12,240 --> 01:13:15,599
Speaker 12: at this last night. So through nine games, but technically

1599
01:13:15,680 --> 01:13:17,599
Speaker 12: eight for Bryce because he didn't play versus the Bills,

1600
01:13:18,840 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 12: he has the second lowest pressure to sack ratio in

1601
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:27,439
Speaker 12: the NFL, meaning when he's pressured, he's not getting sacked

1602
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:32,680
Speaker 12: and it's only behind bow knicks. So even when he

1603
01:13:33,080 --> 01:13:35,120
Speaker 12: gets pressured, he moves out of the pocket and then

1604
01:13:35,160 --> 01:13:37,960
Speaker 12: he gets rid of the ball in something like zero

1605
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:43,479
Speaker 12: point six seconds after getting pressured. And that's that's so quick,

1606
01:13:43,920 --> 01:13:46,160
Speaker 12: you know, and you look at other guys who, like

1607
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,559
Speaker 12: I think Caleb Williams, after he gets pressured, he gets

1608
01:13:49,640 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 12: rid of the ball, it's like one point eight seconds,

1609
01:13:52,400 --> 01:13:55,240
Speaker 12: so more than a full second later. Caleb Williams can

1610
01:13:55,320 --> 01:13:57,559
Speaker 12: do that because he can he can run around all

1611
01:13:57,680 --> 01:14:00,920
Speaker 12: day and still make something happen. Like it's just different

1612
01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:02,160
Speaker 12: types of quarterback play.

1613
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:04,280
Speaker 6: And so that thinks of all of that to say,

1614
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:05,560
Speaker 6: to answer your original.

1615
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:12,599
Speaker 12: Question, I think knowing Bryce's stature, knowing his talents, his skills,

1616
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:17,639
Speaker 12: and where what he does better versus other things. They

1617
01:14:17,720 --> 01:14:20,120
Speaker 12: knew this offensive stuff, knew he needs to get the

1618
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:22,680
Speaker 12: ball out quick or he needs to be moving the

1619
01:14:22,720 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 12: pocket to get the ball out immediately after. And that

1620
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:29,760
Speaker 12: has changed his game because that's really what he did

1621
01:14:29,760 --> 01:14:32,800
Speaker 12: at Alabama and that's why he was able to find

1622
01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:36,040
Speaker 12: success there. And then it was like his rookie season,

1623
01:14:36,080 --> 01:14:39,000
Speaker 12: it was like, hey, we're going to turn you into

1624
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:42,640
Speaker 12: a pocket passing pro quarterback, you know, no matter what.

1625
01:14:43,360 --> 01:14:48,200
Speaker 12: And that's not really where Bryce thrives. And so it's

1626
01:14:48,560 --> 01:14:51,960
Speaker 12: letting him get out and letting him kind of scan

1627
01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:54,120
Speaker 12: the field if he needs to, but still get the

1628
01:14:54,120 --> 01:14:56,960
Speaker 12: ball out quick. And they've have found a good marriage

1629
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:58,920
Speaker 12: between that offense and what Bryce does well.

1630
01:14:59,320 --> 01:15:01,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a testament to Dave Canalis and really working

1631
01:15:01,960 --> 01:15:04,200
Speaker 2: with Bryce and figuring out what he can and can't handle.

1632
01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:05,560
Speaker 2: And then on top of that, you talk about that

1633
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,200
Speaker 2: second play thing, which is something that he did with

1634
01:15:08,240 --> 01:15:10,559
Speaker 2: Baker and Tampa where it was like, no, there's essentially

1635
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:12,960
Speaker 2: another play built into all of these plays that if

1636
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 2: this breaks.

1637
01:15:13,479 --> 01:15:15,600
Speaker 1: Down, this is what you do. And that takes a

1638
01:15:15,600 --> 01:15:16,360
Speaker 1: while to get used to.

1639
01:15:16,400 --> 01:15:18,160
Speaker 2: That's a lot to remember, that's a lot to process

1640
01:15:18,240 --> 01:15:20,360
Speaker 2: at the moment, and so I think you're seeing that

1641
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:24,439
Speaker 2: comfortability this year. Cassidy. I am so happy we were

1642
01:15:24,479 --> 01:15:26,320

1645

Speaker 2: keep tabs on the Bucks and their biggest challenger I

1646
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,160
Speaker 2: think in that division right now is your Carolina Panthers.

1647
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:38,360
Speaker 1: Thanks.

1648
01:15:38,360 --> 01:15:40,800

1649
01:15:40,880 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 12: so it's.

1650
01:15:41,200 --> 01:15:43,240

Speaker 2: is the LOL moment of the week. It is a

1669
01:16:43,760 --> 01:16:46,360
Speaker 2: chance to look back on something that made us laugh

1670
01:16:46,360 --> 01:16:48,920
Speaker 2: because I need a laugh and I think everybody else

1671

Speaker 2: can use a laugh every week. So today's LOL moment

1672

Speaker 2: of the week for me. I will start Tracy, go

1674
01:17:00,960 --> 01:17:01,719
Speaker 2: poetry reading.

1675
01:17:01,920 --> 01:17:03,599
Speaker 4: Oh I love that, I know.

1676
01:17:04,200 --> 01:17:07,720
Speaker 2: Tomorrow marks the fiftieth anniversary of the start of the

1677
01:17:07,760 --> 01:17:11,760
Speaker 2: final voyage of the S. S. Edmund Fitzgerald, where twenty

1678
01:17:11,840 --> 01:17:14,200
Speaker 2: nine souls were lost to the depths of Lake Superior.

1679
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:18,000
Speaker 2: The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down of

1680
01:17:18,040 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 2: the big lake they call Getchagoomy, The lake, it is said,

1681
01:17:21,920 --> 01:17:24,200
Speaker 2: never gives up her dead. When the sky is of

1682
01:17:24,200 --> 01:17:28,000
Speaker 2: November termed gloomy with a load of iron, or twenty

1683
01:17:28,040 --> 01:17:32,480
Speaker 2: six thousand tons more than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty,

1684
01:17:32,600 --> 01:17:35,439
Speaker 2: that good Ship and True was a bone to be chewed.

1685
01:17:35,880 --> 01:17:39,120
Speaker 2: When the Gales of November came early. That is the

1686
01:17:39,160 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: song Gordon Lightfoot, the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I

1687
01:17:41,320 --> 01:17:45,280
Speaker 2: live in the Midwest, and I all over my timeline

1688
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:49,080
Speaker 2: sports teams this, that the other. It's just it's a

1689
01:17:49,080 --> 01:17:51,200
Speaker 2: fun thing. Everybody gets really into it. In the Great

1690
01:17:51,280 --> 01:17:55,600
Speaker 2: Lakes region. In general, sports teams like play that the

1691
01:17:55,640 --> 01:17:58,360
Speaker 2: Gordon Lightfoot song the record of the Edmond Fitzgerald in arenas.

1692
01:17:59,080 --> 01:18:00,800
Speaker 2: This happens a lot in hockey. I actually don't know

1693
01:18:00,800 --> 01:18:02,919
Speaker 2: if it happens in football stadiums.

1694
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:05,040
Speaker 4: Jim Harba is a very big fan.

1695
01:18:05,520 --> 01:18:09,360
Speaker 2: There you go, I mean Michigan Great Lakes. So it's

1696
01:18:09,479 --> 01:18:11,679
Speaker 2: you're not a true Midwesterner if you do not pay

1697
01:18:11,720 --> 01:18:16,320
Speaker 2: homage to the now gales of November, because we are

1698
01:18:16,360 --> 01:18:18,519
Speaker 2: in the throes of it. That weather that you're seeing

1699
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:21,160
Speaker 2: in Iowa right now has made it to Chicago. It

1700
01:18:21,280 --> 01:18:24,200
Speaker 2: is disgusting outside. These are the gales of November that

1701
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,120
Speaker 2: we are in and it's just been It's been a

1702
01:18:27,120 --> 01:18:30,040
Speaker 2: fun thing. And around my house, my fiance decides that

1703
01:18:30,120 --> 01:18:35,040
Speaker 2: it's his duty as a now transplanted Midwesterner to continue

1704
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,760
Speaker 2: to sing the song every day, all day.

1705
01:18:38,360 --> 01:18:41,519
Speaker 4: It was a big part of Michigan's national championship under

1706
01:18:41,560 --> 01:18:44,840
Speaker 4: Jim Harbaugh, which I'm sure surprises nobody, no one. Not

1707
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:49,960
Speaker 4: a single solitary soul. Nope, not a single solitary soul,

1708
01:18:50,040 --> 01:18:53,599
Speaker 4: which is just it's just perfection. Well, my LOL moment

1709
01:18:53,600 --> 01:18:56,200
Speaker 4: of the week is it's Dodger related because it's probably

1710
01:18:56,200 --> 01:18:57,680
Speaker 4: the last time and we get to talk about them

1711
01:18:57,720 --> 01:19:00,479
Speaker 4: for a little while at least. And that was the

1712
01:19:00,479 --> 01:19:03,720
Speaker 4: great key K Hernandez at the Dodgers parade the other day.

1713
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:07,479
Speaker 4: A moment's I mean his, I feel like daily there's

1714
01:19:07,520 --> 01:19:10,880
Speaker 4: an LOL moment. But long story short, Drake decided to

1715
01:19:10,960 --> 01:19:15,920
Speaker 4: troll shohy Otani, not a great move after game full,

1716
01:19:16,200 --> 01:19:21,160
Speaker 4: Game five of the World Series, and the for the Dodgers'

1717
01:19:21,160 --> 01:19:24,720
Speaker 4: locker room took umbrage, and so on Monday, Key K

1718
01:19:24,920 --> 01:19:28,360
Speaker 4: came up on stage and said, and I will paraphrase

1719
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:30,880
Speaker 4: because it's not safe for work, but he basically said,

1720
01:19:31,160 --> 01:19:32,639
Speaker 4: I wanted to get up here and take the time

1721
01:19:32,680 --> 01:19:37,840
Speaker 4: to apologize to absolutely leaping nobody, And it was hilarious

1722
01:19:37,880 --> 01:19:40,840
Speaker 4: because he met Drake and his trolling and guess what, Drake,

1723
01:19:40,880 --> 01:19:43,920
Speaker 4: it didn't work. Thank you for the World Series. So

1724
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 4: I laughed.

1725
01:19:44,680 --> 01:19:47,080
Speaker 2: And not only is k k Hernandez like usually good

1726
01:19:47,080 --> 01:19:50,160
Speaker 2: for an lo moment, but like it is always Drake

1727
01:19:50,200 --> 01:19:51,160
Speaker 2: getting dunked.

1728
01:19:50,880 --> 01:19:53,000
Speaker 1: On always it's so easy to do.

1729
01:19:53,200 --> 01:19:55,839
Speaker 3: He doesn't to himself exactly exactly.

1730
01:19:55,840 --> 01:19:56,799
Speaker 1: I don't even feel.

1731
01:19:56,560 --> 01:19:59,120
Speaker 4: Bad and then show, hey, put Kendrick Lamar on his

1732
01:19:59,160 --> 01:19:59,920
