That usually, especially when we 83 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:57,320 Speaker 1: have a musical act, we like to play some of 84 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,400 Speaker 1: the music. But the Shadowy League figures as we call them, 85 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,880 Speaker 1: recently came down on us and said we can't play 86 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,280 Speaker 1: Writes music. So we asked, we have a library that 87 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,640 Speaker 1: plays music that sounds like certain artists. This is what 88 00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: came up when we typed an ice cube. Let's listen. 89 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: That's definitely not all right? All right, that's pretty like 90 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:25,880 Speaker 1: that's ice Cube breaking into a house. Definitely had some 91 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:29,760 Speaker 1: seventy Is that what it says on the computer ice 92 00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: Cube breaking into a house in the title ice Cube music? 93 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 1: A couple of them? All right? Good, well, our library 94 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: is not always accurate, but yeah, so it'd be fun 95 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:45,360 Speaker 1: with ice Cube here to do some news and have 96 00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: him sit in on the news, and then we'll get to, 97 00:05:47,240 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: of course, your beloved Raiders. So let's do some what 98 00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 1: else is in the news, but the Beloved Raiders nothing important. 99 00:05:54,800 --> 00:05:57,279 Speaker 1: It does feel like the Raiders are driving the news 100 00:05:57,279 --> 00:05:59,839 Speaker 1: in the soft season. Let's start though with the Jacksonville Jaguars. 101 00:05:59,839 --> 00:06:02,880 Speaker 1: One of the raiders, Big A f C. You know, 102 00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 1: they have to get past teams like the Jaguars if 103 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 1: they're gonna be taken seriously. The Jags are dealing with 104 00:06:08,200 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: their own stuff right now. Uh. They have banned Jalen Ramsey, 105 00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,760 Speaker 1: either star cornerback and defensive end Dante Follower, one week 106 00:06:14,800 --> 00:06:19,000 Speaker 1: for violating team rules and conduct unbecoming of a Jaguars 107 00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:24,920 Speaker 1: football player. The team announced this on Sunday. I've never happened. 108 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:28,400 Speaker 1: Under the suspension, neither player will be available to practice 109 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,240 Speaker 1: this week or to play in the Jackson next game 110 00:06:30,279 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 1: against the Vikings on Saturday. Wow, I can't play in 111 00:06:33,240 --> 00:06:36,680 Speaker 1: a preseason game. Thank you, thank you? What? What? What 112 00:06:36,720 --> 00:06:41,560 Speaker 1: did they do? Okay, So Dante Fowler got into a 113 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:45,839 Speaker 1: fight throughout practice with his teammate Jana Kingkway, who's not 114 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,000 Speaker 1: like an offensive lineman that he's going against. It's a 115 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,799 Speaker 1: guy in his own position group. And they kept getting 116 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,080 Speaker 1: into fights throughout the day. Uh. The Associated Press said 117 00:06:54,320 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: they got into a fight even when they were leaving practice. 118 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,480 Speaker 1: And then the weird part of the story is Jalen 119 00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:04,120 Speaker 1: rams supposedly had a meeting kind of with reporters. Ian 120 00:07:04,200 --> 00:07:07,279 Speaker 1: Rappaport our guy reported this and off the record meeting 121 00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: where he more or less threatened the reporters not to 122 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 1: report on what had happened throughout the day and someone 123 00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:15,760 Speaker 1: had a video of it. It's an open practice. You 124 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: have to I mean, like it's the cause and effect. 125 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,040 Speaker 1: The effect is they're fighting in the position fighting. Why 126 00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 1: why do men fight? Why would men be getting into fights? 127 00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,120 Speaker 1: And I don't want to, you know, presuppose anything, but 128 00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: it just seems like there's more to this story and 129 00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 1: we don't have a potential something in between them that's 130 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,440 Speaker 1: causing a battle. What's your theory? Because this is a 131 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: story as old as times, So I mean, you know 132 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 1: it's either a woman or is is some gambling involved, 133 00:07:44,800 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 1: you know a little bit of you know, uh, you know, 134 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,720 Speaker 1: betting a little bit man, you know you owe me 135 00:07:50,400 --> 00:07:53,840 Speaker 1: or you know, I want that position that bad and 136 00:07:53,880 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: where probably this close and athletic ability, somebody's probably using 137 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: their mouth to get an edge, and somebody is tired 138 00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,840 Speaker 1: of that mouth that because is a third round pick 139 00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:11,480 Speaker 1: who's turned into a star, whereas Dante Fowler was the 140 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:13,960 Speaker 1: number three overall pick in the drafts been kind of 141 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 1: a bust and he's the guy who's starting fighting and God, 142 00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:20,640 Speaker 1: now we're getting to the bottom Cube's original point, the 143 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 1: idea of oh, what kind of penalty is a suspension 144 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:24,760 Speaker 1: in the middle of the summer in the preseason game. 145 00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,720 Speaker 1: Like I'm trying to think, like in your n w 146 00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:29,160 Speaker 1: A days, wouldn't it be great if you got to like, oh, 147 00:08:29,200 --> 00:08:31,440 Speaker 1: you're suspended, you got to miss the show in Wichita? 148 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:37,760 Speaker 1: You know? Yeah, I mean dudes miss shows without being suspense. 149 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:41,160 Speaker 1: I don't know if that would did it, but but yeah, 150 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,440 Speaker 1: you know you're not really you know, putting your foot down. 151 00:08:45,160 --> 00:08:48,640 Speaker 1: It's actually it sounds worse than what you're really doing, 152 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:52,920 Speaker 1: you know, I mean, happen to you know, take your 153 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: star guys and discipline them. You know, it's pretty kind 154 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:02,240 Speaker 1: of like what's going on over there? But little fights happened, 155 00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,280 Speaker 1: you know, I can see this lingering and went too far? 156 00:09:06,160 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: Uh the guy Ramseys Ramsey, he was trying to protect 157 00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: his team. He might have went overboard, went too far. 158 00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:18,200 Speaker 1: Does he really need to be suspended? Is it that bad? 159 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:21,679 Speaker 1: Have you seen it? No? I don't understand why he 160 00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:24,560 Speaker 1: sent some tweets out, but it seems very strange that 161 00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: here's a hundred degrees with nine percent humidity in Jacksonville 162 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,040 Speaker 1: this time of year, you get a week off. Let's 163 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,640 Speaker 1: wait till they're suspending players week one against the Patriots. 164 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:37,000 Speaker 1: That won't be happening. Apologies. It might be really did that. 165 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: It might be a thing where the team is trying 166 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: to real a guy in who's a little I've spoken 167 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: that seems like that's more of more of it than 168 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,200 Speaker 1: he tried to tell a reporter. Hey man, you know, 169 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:55,600 Speaker 1: don't you know this is this is you know, like 170 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,960 Speaker 1: the pen. Don't snitch. You know what I'm saying, don't snitch? 171 00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:04,920 Speaker 1: Um uh and other training camp related Shenanigan's Dolphins quarterback 172 00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill, not known as the most outspoken uh man, 173 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: He yelled at rookie running back Kalen Ballidge, I got 174 00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:15,600 Speaker 1: that right. I think it's blog. I had no chance 175 00:10:15,840 --> 00:10:18,200 Speaker 1: b A L L A G excuse you know the 176 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:22,520 Speaker 1: pronunciation on that one. It's what you said. Yeah. Uh. 177 00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,240 Speaker 1: Caitlin Belag kicked him out of the huddle after the 178 00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: running back missed the blocking assignment that resulted in a 179 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:32,080 Speaker 1: clean sack by Charles Harris. Now west, this is interesting, 180 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: and you know, Ryan Tannehill, not known as a guy 181 00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:38,720 Speaker 1: that's out spoken. Was it like you're involved in Hollywood? 182 00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:41,760 Speaker 1: Obviously it was like a Dan Marino body switch comedy 183 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: potentially where Marino inhabited the soft spoken Tannehill and he's 184 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:49,520 Speaker 1: getting agro with rookies. Well, I mean, I think Tannehill 185 00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:53,520 Speaker 1: may want to have a bigger voice around that locker room. 186 00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,559 Speaker 1: He's been there a few years and he might want 187 00:10:56,559 --> 00:10:59,319 Speaker 1: to let people know it's a new sheriff in town. 188 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: So he and go pick on the little rookie, you 189 00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: know what I mean, instead of you know, you'll let 190 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 1: your number one receiver, Ye'll let you know your lineman 191 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,760 Speaker 1: who gotta protect you. But so I think you also 192 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:11,720 Speaker 1: mean that he missed all last year with a torn 193 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: up knee getting hit before that. So when when rookie 194 00:11:15,520 --> 00:11:19,000 Speaker 1: running backs are not picking up free defenders coming at him, 195 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: that might get in Tannehill's head. Right now, you got 196 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,400 Speaker 1: a good point. You call him so spoken, But wasn't 197 00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:27,320 Speaker 1: it a few years ago with Nko Grimes yelling because 198 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,080 Speaker 1: Tannehill had lost control of practices and the defense was 199 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,920 Speaker 1: trash talking him and there was no leadership there. Maybe 200 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,439 Speaker 1: he's trying to kind of like Joe Flack in Baltimore 201 00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: all of a sudden. You don't want to be trying 202 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,319 Speaker 1: too hard, though, if you're around a guy for five 203 00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 1: years and then suddenly he starts trying to like boss 204 00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:45,040 Speaker 1: people around are aren't people gonna aren't you gonna be 205 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:47,080 Speaker 1: looking at him sideways like that's not really who that 206 00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: guy is. I would especially if his game hasn't elevated 207 00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:57,040 Speaker 1: right now, if he's elevated his game and he's like, 208 00:11:57,160 --> 00:12:00,920 Speaker 1: I'm brand new, I'm a new quarterback, but don't come 209 00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,559 Speaker 1: in here, you know, throwing on him picks and he's 210 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:09,400 Speaker 1: about to get everybody. Adam Gates, the head coach of 211 00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:11,440 Speaker 1: the Dallas for what it's worth, was all behind his QB. 212 00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,720 Speaker 1: You can't kick a guy on the huddle all the time. 213 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,520 Speaker 1: You can't shut it down all the time and have 214 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: big discussions. It's a field timing. One is the right 215 00:12:18,080 --> 00:12:19,680 Speaker 1: time to say, you know what, we're not right here. 216 00:12:19,720 --> 00:12:22,000 Speaker 1: We need someone else in here. He was right today 217 00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: to do what he did. I'm sure that rookie is 218 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:28,200 Speaker 1: feeling great about his life right now. Um and other news, kid, 219 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: I'm interested in what you think about this. They got 220 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: a lot of interesting little nugs in the news to 221 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:37,760 Speaker 1: go through here because Antonio Callaway is the fourth round pick. Mark, 222 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,000 Speaker 1: the Browns very talented wide receiver. He fell down draft 223 00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 1: boards because of off the field issues. Uh. He was 224 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: involved with a issue with the police where he got 225 00:12:47,160 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: pulled over um trace amounts of marijuana found in the car. Um. 226 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: He was not. Uh, he didn't. He wasn't facing serious 227 00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,920 Speaker 1: criminal issues off it. But the Brown's head coach Hugh Jackson, 228 00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:00,960 Speaker 1: apparently unhappy that he learned about it in the news 229 00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,760 Speaker 1: before Callaway, instead of Callaway coming to him as a 230 00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 1: sort of punishment, left Callaway in for much of their 231 00:13:08,400 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 1: preseason opener against the brown to the point where Callaway 232 00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,520 Speaker 1: had his hands on his hips, exhausted waiting to be 233 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 1: pulled out. Left in the game. You like, Hughes move there. Yeah, 234 00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:20,440 Speaker 1: he's probably scared to death out. Who's like, I don't 235 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,760 Speaker 1: get no mental break from this man. The pressure is 236 00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: mounting and I'm tired. So yeah, he'll he'll disclose all 237 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: things going on in his life to Hugh Jackson from here. Mark, 238 00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: that's true. Mark. I'm wondering if they should have kept 239 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:40,480 Speaker 1: him too. Like him. He did pretty well there, He 240 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,680 Speaker 1: did well. They the key is due to guys play 241 00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:47,839 Speaker 1: for you, and they played hard for him for him, 242 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,720 Speaker 1: they did um mark. Do you think this has any 243 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: Do you watch Hard Knocks? Yes, I've just seen. I 244 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,400 Speaker 1: think it's the first The first episode is two. There 245 00:13:56,480 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: is a new one tomorrow. Do you think him coming 246 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,080 Speaker 1: down hard on Callaway has anything to do with how 247 00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,760 Speaker 1: Hugh might have come off an episode one is maybe 248 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,600 Speaker 1: too soft, and he's trying to send a message not 249 00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,120 Speaker 1: just to his own team and the rookie, but the 250 00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:13,320 Speaker 1: entire country. No, No, I think Hugh Jackson is Hugh Jackson. Yeah, 251 00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,120 Speaker 1: he's smart. You have to protect your players from these 252 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:22,440 Speaker 1: crazy assistant coaches, you do, because they will work them 253 00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 1: to death and they won't be, you know, good on Sunday. 254 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: So you have to keep these maniacs away from your 255 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,000 Speaker 1: players when they work them to death during the week 256 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 1: and they have nothing on Sunday. And that's what he 257 00:14:37,560 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: was trying to do. You notice that the contrast that 258 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: the Jaguars are punishing guys by keeping him off the 259 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 1: field and Hughes punishing a guy by keeping him on 260 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,200 Speaker 1: the field. Right, I would think guys would want to 261 00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 1: play in the preseason. I don't think Cleveland can have 262 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,640 Speaker 1: too many people leave the field at this point. Let's 263 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:57,360 Speaker 1: let and now let's move on finally to the first preseason. 264 00:14:57,400 --> 00:14:59,160 Speaker 1: We're gonna go through the rest of the preseason games 265 00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: week one. It will start, of course with the Raiders. Uh. 266 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:05,400 Speaker 1: They started their preseason with the sixteen ten win over 267 00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: the Lions on Friday night. We didn't see much from 268 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,440 Speaker 1: Derek Carr, the starter for the Raiders, but Connor Cooked 269 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,880 Speaker 1: the backup looked really good and in general that John 270 00:15:14,920 --> 00:15:18,840 Speaker 1: Gruden era off to a nice start offensively looked crisp. 271 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: Your thoughts in general will start here. Your thoughts in 272 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 1: general on Gruden ten years a hundred million. Are you 273 00:15:25,520 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: concerned as a Raiders fan that this guy was out 274 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: of the game too long? Uh? Yep, of course you 275 00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:34,720 Speaker 1: gotta be concerned. You know, Uh, anybody to know the 276 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:38,520 Speaker 1: game that's not concerned. It is just like you know 277 00:15:38,680 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: of you know, fair Weather fans, so to speak. But 278 00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:43,960 Speaker 1: I think you know, he's been out a long time. 279 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: We'll see and it's not about XS and as because 280 00:15:47,480 --> 00:15:50,920 Speaker 1: he's not been away from the game, he's actually had 281 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:56,360 Speaker 1: a bird eye view on everybody's game plan, how they practice, 282 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,520 Speaker 1: how you know, by being in Monday Night Football. He 283 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: probably actually has you know, uh angle on the league 284 00:16:04,400 --> 00:16:09,000 Speaker 1: that most coaches will never get so at least for now, 285 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 1: so he has a wealth of knowledge he can take 286 00:16:12,240 --> 00:16:16,239 Speaker 1: in there. And the question is will they play for him? 287 00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:19,320 Speaker 1: You know, will they play hard for him? Will they 288 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:22,560 Speaker 1: buy what he's selling? He's real right right, you know, 289 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: old school with it um and you know, so I 290 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,440 Speaker 1: know he got a hunt a million and Khalil Matt 291 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: can't get his money. So that's a problem from the 292 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:35,160 Speaker 1: jump from the start. When you when you look at 293 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 1: the Raiders two years ago, it seems like the team 294 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: on the brink, they're gonna start to challenge for AFC titles. 295 00:16:40,120 --> 00:16:42,000 Speaker 1: You've got this quarterback that looks like an m v P. 296 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:45,920 Speaker 1: Then last year happens a total polar opposite shift. As 297 00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: a fan, longtime fan, which team do you think is 298 00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:50,880 Speaker 1: closer to representing who they really are right now? I 299 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:54,240 Speaker 1: have no idea, to be honest. You know they're mysterious. 300 00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,640 Speaker 1: Huh they are. You don't know what you're gonna get. Um, 301 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: you know, I knew it was clicking. They got rid 302 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 1: of Bill Musgrave and it wasn't clicking. And who knows 303 00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:08,800 Speaker 1: it's a whole new you know, it's a new sheriff 304 00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:16,200 Speaker 1: in town. Derek carr Um has to deal with another 305 00:17:16,880 --> 00:17:22,239 Speaker 1: coordinator and different um you know, um, I guess what 306 00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,120 Speaker 1: they call it terminology And you know, so I feel 307 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:30,320 Speaker 1: sorry for that quarterback because we don't know if they're 308 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,359 Speaker 1: stunting his growth in any kind of way with all 309 00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:37,800 Speaker 1: this movement. And you know, he always to me had issues, 310 00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: you know, by not bringing his feet when he throw 311 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: the ball and just arming the ball down the field. 312 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: And somebody, somebody has to correct or or he will 313 00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,960 Speaker 1: be you know, not as accurate as he needs to be. 314 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,600 Speaker 1: You know, that's just that's just somebody not correcting something 315 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,320 Speaker 1: I know they see on f him because I see 316 00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,160 Speaker 1: it is loving, love and life. Though like first play 317 00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,160 Speaker 1: of the game when there's a penalty, he's already screaming 318 00:18:04,160 --> 00:18:06,880 Speaker 1: and yelling and going wild like that. Doesn't that get 319 00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: you guys fired up? Would happen that? Uh? Finally, before 320 00:18:14,320 --> 00:18:18,480 Speaker 1: before we go, uh, let's give the founder of the 321 00:18:18,520 --> 00:18:21,200 Speaker 1: Big Three and if if you're not aware, it's a 322 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: basketball league three on three featuring a lot of former 323 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,240 Speaker 1: NBA stars. The playoffs started auguste Um, your thoughts about 324 00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:32,439 Speaker 1: the Big Three at this stage of the game. I 325 00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,320 Speaker 1: know it's it's now kind of a year two and 326 00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: it's it's you think it's found, it's found, it's footing in. Uh. 327 00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: You know, we still feel like we're still pushing the 328 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: rock up hill, but we're almost over the hunt.

So we feel like the sport. 345 00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:51,119 Speaker 1: It's starting to gain its fan base and hold it 346 00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:53,840 Speaker 1: pull Greg and because we were doing a little research 347 00:19:53,880 --> 00:20:01,879 Speaker 1: before the show and he found out, Ricky Davis, you 348 00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: got the birdman leading the leading blocks.

That was like, I feel like there was 354 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 1: some ice Cube in the show at some point, but 355 00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:23,199 Speaker 1: maybe I'm wrong.

Son is Charles Johnson, 393 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,920 Speaker 1: and he's got a touchdown. And Sam Donald does indeed 394 00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:32,280 Speaker 1: have his first preseason touchdown pass as the quarterback of 395 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:35,440 Speaker 1: the New York Jets. Bob was shooes in ninety point 396 00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:39,959 Speaker 1: seven Jets Radio Network. Yes, Sam Donald made his NFL 397 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,200 Speaker 1: debut with the Jets and threw a touchdown past the 398 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 1: Charles Johnson Your boy Mark, Charles Johnson no longer that 399 00:22:45,920 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 1: one got away, um, just like Sam Donald and the 400 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,600 Speaker 1: Jets cruise to a seventeen nothing win over the Falcons. 401 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: This is a game in which Donald looked really comfortable 402 00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 1: in two and a half quarters of work. Uh, Teddy 403 00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:03,320 Speaker 1: Bridgewater look very good and in his limited time Josh 404 00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,679 Speaker 1: mccount barely played. But Chris Westling, what were your takeaways 405 00:23:07,920 --> 00:23:10,840 Speaker 1: from the Jets quarterback room against the Falcons? I thought 406 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: Bridgewater looked like himself. You want to see him run 407 00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:15,760 Speaker 1: around a little bit more and take some hits if 408 00:23:15,760 --> 00:23:18,439 Speaker 1: you're interested in trading for him. But I thought he 409 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:21,800 Speaker 1: looked good. Donald. I think he looked he looked fine. 410 00:23:21,880 --> 00:23:24,120 Speaker 1: But I think in all of my years following football, 411 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:28,200 Speaker 1: that performance um was such a departure from the reaction 412 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: on Twitter that I couldn't even believe it. When I 413 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: watched the game film, I thought he did something spectacular 414 00:23:33,160 --> 00:23:36,000 Speaker 1: or played out of his mind. He what he had 415 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,840 Speaker 1: seven series in one score. I feel like the Jets, 416 00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:42,879 Speaker 1: I don't know if they went out of their way 417 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,440 Speaker 1: to do this. Uh, they didn't force him into situations 418 00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 1: where he had to create on the fly. They sort 419 00:23:49,080 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 1: of said here, here, here, it is, do it. And 420 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,760 Speaker 1: he did everything they asked. And I think the response 421 00:23:53,840 --> 00:23:56,359 Speaker 1: was probably around this was a guy that you know 422 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: if you haven't watched him Donald. The tag was, Oh, 423 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,119 Speaker 1: he's gonna probably FuMB the ball twice and throw a 424 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: killer pick. And he made no mistakes like that, and 425 00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:06,600 Speaker 1: he checked the boxes for the Jets, and I think 426 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,239 Speaker 1: it's also a team and a fan base that is 427 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: dying for hope at this position. And they got two 428 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,520 Speaker 1: good quarterback performances, which is very rare in New York 429 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,720 Speaker 1: and so the Twitter thing probably is part of the pack, 430 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: but that's Twitter. It was an incredibly encouraging performance from 431 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:27,760 Speaker 1: Sam Donald. He looked completely at ease. He yes, things 432 00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:29,959 Speaker 1: got quiet in the second half, and you and you 433 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:33,440 Speaker 1: can that's worth noting. But to me, what I saw 434 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: in that touchdown drive in particular, UH, is why he 435 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:40,880 Speaker 1: took more first team reps today in practice and why 436 00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:42,720 Speaker 1: it seems like he's a favorite for the job now 437 00:24:42,760 --> 00:24:44,920 Speaker 1: because he does not look again the youngest quarterback in 438 00:24:44,960 --> 00:24:46,919 Speaker 1: the league right now. He did not look like a 439 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,800 Speaker 1: guy that was overwhelmed by the moment that drive in 440 00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: the two minute drill. Uh, he was excellent. H. It 441 00:24:53,480 --> 00:24:55,840 Speaker 1: should have been eight straight completions for a touchdown. Charles 442 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,200 Speaker 1: Johnson dropped one that should have been a touchdown. Then 443 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,239 Speaker 1: he threw another touchdown that got wiped out by an 444 00:25:00,240 --> 00:25:02,840 Speaker 1: O p I and undaunted on third and long. He 445 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,719 Speaker 1: then bought time and hit Johnson again for the touchdown, 446 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:08,680 Speaker 1: so he really would have three touchdowns. Uh. In terms 447 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:11,240 Speaker 1: of his play, I thought it was a really encouraging 448 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 1: and I'm that's why the the I think the people, 449 00:25:13,960 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 1: especially Jets fans on Twitter, so excited because that's exactly 450 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,080 Speaker 1: what you're hoping to see. He checked. I think the 451 00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 1: plan has all been all along for him to start, 452 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,040 Speaker 1: just based on the their sources that are talking to 453 00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:29,040 Speaker 1: report in the way that they've talked about Donald. I 454 00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,760 Speaker 1: didn't take a lot away from the game between him 455 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:35,960 Speaker 1: and Bridgewater, not positive or negative. He hit the open receivers, 456 00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,080 Speaker 1: they were both protected extremely well. He didn't have to 457 00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,159 Speaker 1: make any crazy throws. They didn't move the ball too well. 458 00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: Was seven drives and they only had more than one 459 00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 1: first down on one of them, So I didn't It 460 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:50,280 Speaker 1: wasn't like a celebration, but the third down, the touchdown 461 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,440 Speaker 1: on third and long was certainly a nice play. Him 462 00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:55,480 Speaker 1: stepping up, and you just want to see more. His 463 00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:57,120 Speaker 1: best work was in the red zone. And I think 464 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: the thing on Donald that they've said is the positive 465 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,680 Speaker 1: all along is unflappable mentally. It's not he's not an 466 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,720 Speaker 1: excitable individual like when you when you see his interviews 467 00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:08,639 Speaker 1: and stuff, and we shouldn't care about that at this point, 468 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: but it's just sort of a dude that seems like 469 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,959 Speaker 1: he's pretty much never cowed by the moment, and this 470 00:26:13,960 --> 00:26:16,800 Speaker 1: would have been a chance to to react that way, 471 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,920 Speaker 1: and he didn't. I thought, especially with the touchdown stuff. Yes, 472 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 1: I would like to see in the next game, or 473 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: if they can let him spread his wings a little bit. 474 00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:26,399 Speaker 1: He threw for what five point three yards per toss. 475 00:26:26,440 --> 00:26:28,679 Speaker 1: I mean, let's maybe show give m a chance to 476 00:26:28,680 --> 00:26:30,719 Speaker 1: go a little vertical. Uh, do a little bit more 477 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 1: in the next stuff. He didn't have a chance to 478 00:26:32,560 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 1: show off that arm. That was why I didn't take anything, 479 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:38,240 Speaker 1: nothing negative about it. But he had one route that 480 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: he just missed that that would have changed those numbers. 481 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:43,560 Speaker 1: But Bridgewater is the other guy seven of eight eighty 482 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,600 Speaker 1: five yards. Uh. They scored in both his possessions. And 483 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,440 Speaker 1: I'm really trying to figure out how they're gonna play 484 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: this now. McCown is going to be out of the 485 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,639 Speaker 1: equation more or less. I just wonder if if Bridgewater 486 00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 1: has a real chance at the starting job too, or 487 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: if they really behind the scenes are ramping up. Well 488 00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:02,000 Speaker 1: what I would I would say, like, I would rather start. 489 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: If you're gonna unless you're gonna trade Teddy Bridgewater and 490 00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,440 Speaker 1: you want to win games, and this coaching staff needs 491 00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:08,479 Speaker 1: to win games. If it's not Donald for some reason, 492 00:27:08,680 --> 00:27:11,679 Speaker 1: wouldn't you start Bridgewater over Josh McCown, I guess, but 493 00:27:12,440 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: they said everything that they need to say on Sunday 494 00:27:14,840 --> 00:27:18,119 Speaker 1: and Monday in their practices. He got ten out of 495 00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:21,439 Speaker 1: twelve first team reps Sam Donald did on Sunday. He 496 00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:24,280 Speaker 1: got the vast majority on Monday. So this is kind 497 00:27:24,280 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: of how you do it. Sam Donald's gonna start this 498 00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:30,119 Speaker 1: second week game, and barring a total implosion, he's going 499 00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:33,520 Speaker 1: to start the third game too. And Teddy Bridgewater has 500 00:27:33,560 --> 00:27:38,000 Speaker 1: never been someone that they particularly care about his long 501 00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 1: term future because it's it's not their future unless something 502 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:44,760 Speaker 1: something wrong happened. So I think they would love Bridgewater 503 00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:47,040 Speaker 1: to play as his as Donald's back up the next 504 00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,919 Speaker 1: two weeks and play well, and they're praying for a quarterback, 505 00:27:50,280 --> 00:27:52,560 Speaker 1: fourth or fifth round pick for him or something like that. 506 00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 1: That would be a win for them. But Bridgewater doesn't 507 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,679 Speaker 1: have any guaranteed money in that contract. There's basically a 508 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:00,359 Speaker 1: free Like look at Bridgewater, did you did you guys 509 00:28:00,400 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: feel the one thing on the falcon side it was 510 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:04,720 Speaker 1: one of the most and I don't by design. There's 511 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:06,760 Speaker 1: no Matt Ryan and there there's no Julio Jones, and 512 00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,120 Speaker 1: it's not it's not I'm not taking anything away from 513 00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:14,359 Speaker 1: the jet stand, but the Falcons produced don't are about 514 00:28:14,440 --> 00:28:17,840 Speaker 1: the final score anything. Falcons produced one of the most 515 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,360 Speaker 1: uninspiring preseason performances I have ever seen in my entire life. 516 00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 1: Well that was why I did not show up to 517 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,400 Speaker 1: that game. Well that was why I was a little 518 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:28,920 Speaker 1: hard to evaluate the quarterback. There was no path thresh whatsoever, 519 00:28:28,960 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: and the receivers were wide open. That's fine, you can 520 00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:36,400 Speaker 1: evaluate their backup quarterback. They need one the Falcons. Hey, Matt, 521 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: match I barely had any incompletions too. If you just 522 00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: look started pretty hot. I don't think they scored any points. 523 00:28:43,640 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 1: Matt win nine for nine. I mean, actually tell you 524 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,400 Speaker 1: everything you need to know about these games. If you're 525 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,800 Speaker 1: looking for four yards and third and seven match shops, 526 00:28:52,800 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: you're gay. Let's move on. Check in with the Minnesota 527 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: Vikings and Denver Broncos. Oh shoot out at the Mile 528 00:29:00,800 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: High Stadium. Win for the Vikings. Everyone's gonna be zoned 529 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:08,120 Speaker 1: in on the two new starting quarterbacks. And if you're 530 00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: a Vikings fan, you're feeling good because Kirk Cousins and 531 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,320 Speaker 1: limited work was four for four and uh threw a 532 00:29:14,320 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 1: touchdown on a slant a Stefon Diggs. But on the 533 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 1: other side of the ball case Keenum not looking too 534 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: sharp and his two drive cameo one of four for 535 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 1: five yards Uh Mark Sessler and Uh and the other 536 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:30,080 Speaker 1: quarterbacks behind or at least the former first round pick 537 00:29:30,160 --> 00:29:33,920 Speaker 1: behind Keenum Paxton Lynch did not look good either. So 538 00:29:34,360 --> 00:29:36,640 Speaker 1: if you're somebody that's a little nervous about the Broncos 539 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,400 Speaker 1: on offense, this game was not gonna leave any fears. 540 00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:42,600 Speaker 1: I I really wonder if Paxton Lynch has an NFL future, 541 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: because here you are mining into year three and you're 542 00:29:46,760 --> 00:29:49,600 Speaker 1: seeing no growth, You're seeing regression, and that reminds me 543 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,920 Speaker 1: of another Broncos X Broncos quarterback named Broncos Swiler. I'm 544 00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: very concerned there. I want to give you real quick 545 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,080 Speaker 1: where we are at this point in time. My five 546 00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:00,720 Speaker 1: favorite NFL players right now? Yes, let's he number five, 547 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,600 Speaker 1: and this is because he's his topical. Is Chad Kelly, 548 00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,160 Speaker 1: the Broncos ultra backup. Who is your favorite going to 549 00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 1: make starts? The number five favorite player in the league. Kelly, 550 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:13,400 Speaker 1: Yes he is. I've made this prediction last year. I'm 551 00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: always a year early with these predictions. Number four, Chad Kelly, 552 00:30:18,120 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: number three and two Chad Kelly. And my top favorite 553 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:24,480 Speaker 1: player in the NFL right now is Kelly coma chat. 554 00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: Do you have any concerns whatsoever that he winds up 555 00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:32,360 Speaker 1: with his entire body and throws it every time? None whatsoever, 556 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 1: Because like clockwork, I'll fall into fascination with the wrong 557 00:30:36,240 --> 00:30:39,719 Speaker 1: quarterback around this time of year. Every year he is frisky. 558 00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: I think he's fun to watch he every time he 559 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,320 Speaker 1: dropped back, He's almost like a video game character every 560 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,320 Speaker 1: single time, and there is that big wine up. He's 561 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,880 Speaker 1: gutting like he's gutting a quick release. But he made 562 00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: great throws in his college stats show that he loves 563 00:30:56,440 --> 00:30:58,880 Speaker 1: to push the ball down the field. He made more 564 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,480 Speaker 1: plays in that one game than Paxson Lynch has made 565 00:31:01,720 --> 00:31:04,760 Speaker 1: in all of his preseason game. It's it's rare to 566 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: see an NFL quarterback look as uncomfortable just kind of 567 00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:11,800 Speaker 1: with what he's doing as a vocation as Paxton Lynch. 568 00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:13,520 Speaker 1: And I don't think he's gonna make that team. They'll 569 00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,000 Speaker 1: either cut him or I think they'll trade him for 570 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:19,400 Speaker 1: like a conditional seven. Think about that two thousand sixteen 571 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:24,360 Speaker 1: first round picks could be whom Jerry Jones tried to 572 00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:26,480 Speaker 1: trade up for and said he lost sleep when he 573 00:31:26,480 --> 00:31:28,680 Speaker 1: didn't get him. That's unreal, and then wound up with 574 00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,200 Speaker 1: Dak Pressent. Is this the situation though? And you know, 575 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,440 Speaker 1: I hope Chad Kelly has a nice career, but I 576 00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: just had three years in this very studio hearing about 577 00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: another Broncos seventh round pick that was apparently really good, 578 00:31:40,360 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: but no one gave him the respect he deserves. Do 579 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: I get three years of Chad Kelly talking this podcast? 580 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: By the way, hashtag team trev I know, and I'm 581 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:52,240 Speaker 1: not giving up on Trevi. It was in a tough situation, 582 00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,280 Speaker 1: well publicized seventh round pick at quarterback, like John Elway 583 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,160 Speaker 1: can't pick first rounders at quarterback, but he's gonna nail 584 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: the seventh round who out of the last four years, 585 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 1: I don't know. Well, if if he gets a back, 586 00:32:03,400 --> 00:32:06,160 Speaker 1: if Chad Kelly looks like a decent backup quarter right, 587 00:32:06,200 --> 00:32:08,760 Speaker 1: who knows. I mean, it's a little early to to 588 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:12,240 Speaker 1: get too carried away. But if he gets at quarterbacks, 589 00:32:12,360 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: that's pretty good. I'll tell you he was in trouble. 590 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 1: Daniel Carlson, the rookie drilled a fifty seven yard or 591 00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 1: ego well and plus Kai as we've as we've learned 592 00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 1: it behind the scenes, it's not one of these guys 593 00:32:26,640 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: that's there to help the young kicker. I mean, if 594 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:32,760 Speaker 1: you're a kicker and there's another kicker based on inside 595 00:32:32,760 --> 00:32:35,400 Speaker 1: information from someone very close to him that he'll never 596 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,560 Speaker 1: know who it was, uh, maybe not a type of 597 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 1: guy that is going to handle adversity too well. Just 598 00:32:41,720 --> 00:32:44,959 Speaker 1: you know, keep your ear to the ground, sources that 599 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: go beyond just your typical insider. Uh yeah, Kai might 600 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:54,760 Speaker 1: not handle this to I do like that this this 601 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:58,320 Speaker 1: John Elway criticism, which it really you know, peaked I 602 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,800 Speaker 1: think on this show throughout the off season. It's catching. 603 00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,880 Speaker 1: I mean the Denver post, which is usually kissing up 604 00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,720 Speaker 1: to him after this game, has a headline does John 605 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 1: always stink at picking quarterbacks? Case Keatum looks like a 606 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: journeyman in Paxton Lynden. He threw six it was snick 607 00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:21,440 Speaker 1: six snaps, two of which were handoff. They're already they're 608 00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:25,640 Speaker 1: already like just taking dirt out Case the same people 609 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:31,520 Speaker 1: were saying, these people people get weird about the preseason 610 00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:37,240 Speaker 1: for sure. Anything else from this game, I think we 611 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 1: always relearn in week one that the past month and 612 00:33:39,880 --> 00:33:42,480 Speaker 1: a half means so very little. But if you were 613 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 1: inclined to believe that the Minnesota Vikings are absolutely loaded, 614 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:49,920 Speaker 1: this game bolsters that opinion. And Dalvin Cook told Stacy 615 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000 Speaker 1: Dale's last week it's special around here. You can feel 616 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: it in the air. I'm just happy to be a 617 00:33:54,400 --> 00:33:56,360 Speaker 1: part of it. And to me, it's super Bowl or 618 00:33:56,400 --> 00:34:05,240 Speaker 1: bust around that team this year. Gott here a lot 619 00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,680 Speaker 1: of pressure on you right now. The Bears in first 620 00:34:07,760 --> 00:34:15,400 Speaker 1: round pick Roquan Smith have agreed to terms. That's breaking news, baby, 621 00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,920 Speaker 1: Oh thank god. And you know this was one of 622 00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,880 Speaker 1: the most frustrating hold ups even if you had no connection, 623 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: if you were in a Bears fan. But imagine if 624 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:27,680 Speaker 1: you're a barrasser and he just want his teeth to 625 00:34:27,719 --> 00:34:30,040 Speaker 1: turn the corner and you got the number eight overall 626 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,040 Speaker 1: pick and he can't get him in the building, and 627 00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: now he's there. He literally training camp. They broke for 628 00:34:35,400 --> 00:34:39,000 Speaker 1: training camp on Sunday to go have a joint practice. 629 00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: It was twenty eight days. A long time, but they 630 00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:44,279 Speaker 1: still have a while before the season starts. Can someone 631 00:34:44,320 --> 00:34:48,279 Speaker 1: clarify to one little bit of other breaking news, don't 632 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:52,680 Speaker 1: ruin this. So the positive day for breaking news traumatic 633 00:34:52,719 --> 00:34:57,880 Speaker 1: pause Vikings right guard Mike Remer's previously banged up with 634 00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:03,040 Speaker 1: an ankle injury, has returned to practice. Breaking to let 635 00:35:03,080 --> 00:35:07,640 Speaker 1: the air out of the balloon there, Old Sizzler, you 636 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:10,000 Speaker 1: did not know that. You did not know. I didn't 637 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:11,960 Speaker 1: even though he was out of you did not know that. 638 00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:14,600 Speaker 1: I'm like mis Tren. I want West to start joining 639 00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:19,480 Speaker 1: in unquestionably breaking news corner. And I always knew I 640 00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 1: had West with this. You don't joke around about news 641 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:25,080 Speaker 1: not breaking newest item on Rhoda World, all right, but 642 00:35:25,120 --> 00:35:29,600 Speaker 1: that doesn't make it like breaking. There's something you but 643 00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: back to. So that's interesting for the guard situation in Minnesota. 644 00:35:33,560 --> 00:35:38,239 Speaker 1: But uh, he missed all training camp Smith and now 645 00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,359 Speaker 1: he's there. That's great. I'm always confused when they say, like, okay, 646 00:35:41,400 --> 00:35:44,320 Speaker 1: they broke for trading camp, but then there's the next 647 00:35:44,360 --> 00:35:46,840 Speaker 1: three weeks, which I understand they were in one place 648 00:35:46,880 --> 00:35:49,160 Speaker 1: that was not Chicago, and now they're going to a 649 00:35:49,160 --> 00:35:52,040 Speaker 1: different place. The media, there's different media rules, for instance 650 00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,720 Speaker 1: of how much you can watch practice and whether fans 651 00:35:54,760 --> 00:35:57,480 Speaker 1: are there. That is the difference. But ultimately what's the difference. 652 00:35:57,480 --> 00:36:00,040 Speaker 1: They're still just practicing every day. Could I make I 653 00:36:00,200 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 1: personal judgment on it. It's still training camp, Training camp 654 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:13,680 Speaker 1: is continued. You're not bourbon A bourbon A Illinois. Thank god. Well, also, 655 00:36:13,760 --> 00:36:18,160 Speaker 1: we're not watching like fleets of NFL Network people in 656 00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:21,399 Speaker 1: their NFL Network garb and shorts. We don't to watch 657 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:24,080 Speaker 1: a bunch of male NFL Network talent in shorts for 658 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:26,799 Speaker 1: the next year. It is a distinct break, and I 659 00:36:26,840 --> 00:36:30,880 Speaker 1: appreciate it. Bourbon A Mayor, you know, Denise McVeigh just 660 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,359 Speaker 1: crashed their car into the side of the road, and yeah, 661 00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,520 Speaker 1: like she's listening at this show. She's got enough issues 662 00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:40,880 Speaker 1: on her hand in bourbon A bot if Aaron Donald 663 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 1: commissed all of the camp in the first game, is 664 00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:45,120 Speaker 1: still wins Defensive Player of the Year award. I would 665 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:48,400 Speaker 1: think Rokwan Smith can miss camp and still win Defensive 666 00:36:48,480 --> 00:36:51,080 Speaker 1: Rookie of the Leader. Yeah, so all right, that's us. 667 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: I guess thirteenth as well. I mean, he's got he's 668 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:58,560 Speaker 1: got three weeks the biggest offset drama since what Joey Bosa, 669 00:36:59,360 --> 00:37:02,200 Speaker 1: since Sam Arnold deciding that he needed to, you know, 670 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:06,839 Speaker 1: get all caught up with this going hiking thing two days. 671 00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:10,120 Speaker 1: That was two days al right, Like Joey Bosa that 672 00:37:10,200 --> 00:37:13,240 Speaker 1: was legitimately, remember their statements being released by both sides. 673 00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:15,800 Speaker 1: This one was the Chargers. That might have cost the 674 00:37:15,880 --> 00:37:19,160 Speaker 1: Chargers a playoff spot because they basically didn't have the 675 00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,239 Speaker 1: real Bosa for three or four weeks. They missed it 676 00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 1: by one game and he was a house on five. 677 00:37:23,560 --> 00:37:25,920 Speaker 1: But didn't bo Jackson have to re enter the draft? 678 00:37:27,239 --> 00:37:30,320 Speaker 1: Didn't he sit out the entire season? Well, we're discussing 679 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:34,480 Speaker 1: the Bucks took him right and then then the Raiders 680 00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: took him. Totally different scenario because we're talking more like 681 00:37:37,320 --> 00:37:42,000 Speaker 1: the offset, lengthier holdout, a lengthier holdout. I want to 682 00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,200 Speaker 1: hear more about bourbon Ay and what. Don't get me 683 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:47,239 Speaker 1: started on that place. I know, I know where it's 684 00:37:47,280 --> 00:37:50,440 Speaker 1: coming from. Really, you want to share too many morning 685 00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:52,719 Speaker 1: shifts where he's just watching people at bourbon A on 686 00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,480 Speaker 1: our air. I feel like it's no, that's that was 687 00:37:56,680 --> 00:38:00,440 Speaker 1: that um amplified it. That is not the court. Okay, 688 00:38:00,920 --> 00:38:03,839 Speaker 1: the way it's pronounced that amplified. Are you gonna see 689 00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:06,600 Speaker 1: is this? Will we eventually learned on this podcast? Will 690 00:38:06,600 --> 00:38:08,840 Speaker 1: we learn when the mics are offered. Will we just 691 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:11,160 Speaker 1: never know what I'll have to assess. I mean it's 692 00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:17,920 Speaker 1: it's sensitive, not towards me, towards bourbon at Wow. Alright, 693 00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,359 Speaker 1: moving on one more game to talk about. Yes, those 694 00:38:21,440 --> 00:38:25,400 Speaker 1: Los Angeles Chargers and the Arizona Cardinals, and yes, another 695 00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:31,200 Speaker 1: rookie debut Josh Rosen uh for the Cardinals. Uh. And 696 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,840 Speaker 1: he also Greg showed some signs why he's a dude 697 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:37,640 Speaker 1: to be reckoned with, even though he didn't get much 698 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,960 Speaker 1: attention because the box score wasn't great and he was 699 00:38:41,040 --> 00:38:44,360 Speaker 1: under pressure the whole time. He made about three throws 700 00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:47,839 Speaker 1: in this game that just got you excited to be 701 00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,640 Speaker 1: watching some Josh Rosen action during the season. What a 702 00:38:53,600 --> 00:39:00,360 Speaker 1: right here? This is like spicy beef jerky, You're beach 703 00:39:00,400 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 1: house throw with the ball like that? I mean, yeah, 704 00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:11,080 Speaker 1: Rod Wolfley, he's back in mid season for him work. Yeah. 705 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:14,440 Speaker 1: It was a great out route to Uh to your 706 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 1: boy Tate Uh or no, not great? This is like 707 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:28,560 Speaker 1: spicy beef jerky. Aren't your porch your beach house? Throw 708 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 1: with the ball like that? Are we suggesting some hi? 709 00:39:37,120 --> 00:39:39,239 Speaker 1: I think it's saying. I think it's saying. It's it's 710 00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 1: perfect and I'm with him, nothing better than eating a 711 00:39:41,960 --> 00:39:44,719 Speaker 1: little spicy beef jerky. I'm with you, Ron Wolfley. And 712 00:39:44,719 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 1: then he thought for a second that means it was 713 00:39:46,760 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: a great throw eating the beef. But it's not even 714 00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,760 Speaker 1: good enough. I want to be eating it on my porch, 715 00:39:52,040 --> 00:39:54,560 Speaker 1: and not to be any old porch, my beach house. 716 00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:56,960 Speaker 1: That's like three levels up. How good that he did 717 00:39:57,080 --> 00:39:59,359 Speaker 1: keep adding to the scenario, which I'm just like, it's 718 00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:11,239 Speaker 1: the good life, okay, that I have no idea same game. Well, 719 00:40:11,280 --> 00:40:13,680 Speaker 1: I mean he is. He's been sitting all off season, 720 00:40:14,520 --> 00:40:17,080 Speaker 1: these things up in the mind. Somebody also shot me 721 00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,600 Speaker 1: a tweet he said something in the opening seconds of 722 00:40:19,600 --> 00:40:23,040 Speaker 1: the telecast. Some guys go out there they playing like 723 00:40:23,120 --> 00:40:26,279 Speaker 1: a bloated circle and other guys playing like a party triangle, 724 00:40:26,560 --> 00:40:31,600 Speaker 1: and Jeremy Cash it's a party triangle. I love it. 725 00:40:31,680 --> 00:40:34,000 Speaker 1: Is he leading into this a little bit. I think 726 00:40:34,040 --> 00:40:36,640 Speaker 1: he knows that going a little psychedelic with the thoughts 727 00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,839 Speaker 1: has gotten him some Twitter pop. But I think that's 728 00:40:38,840 --> 00:40:41,640 Speaker 1: who he is. I just think I think he's not 729 00:40:41,719 --> 00:40:44,160 Speaker 1: planning these out. In fact, I think this is coming 730 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:46,400 Speaker 1: from This is just who he is. It was the 731 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,440 Speaker 1: one last year. Wasn't he talking about making sun on 732 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:51,680 Speaker 1: a sun like making a snow angel or something? And 733 00:40:51,719 --> 00:40:55,080 Speaker 1: I think it did it win or came? Yeah? I 734 00:40:55,120 --> 00:40:58,719 Speaker 1: think it um if not, maybe the yeah, there you go. 735 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: I was gonna say. Rosen had to have been having 736 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 1: U c l A flashbacks though, because they protected him 737 00:41:03,239 --> 00:41:05,480 Speaker 1: so poorly. So that's why the couple of plays that 738 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:08,239 Speaker 1: he made, he had to evade pressure. Uh. And they 739 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,759 Speaker 1: did announce on Monday. I found interesting they're gonna give 740 00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:14,399 Speaker 1: him more first team reps in the next preseason games. 741 00:41:14,440 --> 00:41:17,799 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford will start, but Rosen will get more with 742 00:41:17,880 --> 00:41:21,400 Speaker 1: the starters. It's it's funny. That's something you do if 743 00:41:21,400 --> 00:41:24,080 Speaker 1: you're not like a hundred percent sure exactly how that 744 00:41:24,239 --> 00:41:26,439 Speaker 1: this is gonna go. It is interesting that I think 745 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:28,680 Speaker 1: it's been under the radar, but they're trying to get 746 00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:30,879 Speaker 1: Rosen as prepared as possible, and they might use them 747 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 1: earlier than people. It's funny how disparate the opinions were 748 00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: of this game and Josh Rosen, because Kent Summers from 749 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,680 Speaker 1: the Arizona Republic saying that he came out not looking 750 00:41:39,719 --> 00:41:42,600 Speaker 1: like the most NFL ready quarterback, was rather critical of him. 751 00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,640 Speaker 1: But watching free rushers every well, right, watching watching his 752 00:41:45,680 --> 00:41:47,400 Speaker 1: throws number one, I thought he made he made a 753 00:41:47,440 --> 00:41:50,280 Speaker 1: couple of beautiful throws. But Wes you wrote a story 754 00:41:50,320 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 1: on August six titled it was a little throwaway news 755 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,400 Speaker 1: piece called Cardinals lose Veterans center a Q Shipley to 756 00:41:57,400 --> 00:42:01,200 Speaker 1: torn A c l Suddenly you've got to potentially put 757 00:42:01,239 --> 00:42:04,719 Speaker 1: Mason Cole, your third rounder in there to start. And 758 00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,400 Speaker 1: it was Daniel Munner that I thought totally left Josh 759 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:11,040 Speaker 1: Rosen out to dry with some terrible snaps which we 760 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:13,680 Speaker 1: which didn't seem to be brought up at times with 761 00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 1: some of this. I don't think the shotgun snap is 762 00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:19,000 Speaker 1: Daniel Munner's forte. He's working on it. Good to see 763 00:42:19,040 --> 00:42:21,720 Speaker 1: David Johnson back only two runs and they both looked strong, 764 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, put him away until the season starts. 765 00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:27,320 Speaker 1: Sam Bradford, who didn't do any running in his the 766 00:42:27,400 --> 00:42:30,480 Speaker 1: conditioning at the beginning of training camp and he basically 767 00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:33,760 Speaker 1: handed the ball off except for one throw in this game. 768 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:38,480 Speaker 1: I mean, they are like really announcing that they are 769 00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:41,080 Speaker 1: going to treat this man with you know, kid gloves, 770 00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,440 Speaker 1: with the bubble rap, and I get that, but when 771 00:42:43,440 --> 00:42:46,000 Speaker 1: the game start, there is gonna be no restrictions on 772 00:42:46,200 --> 00:42:48,200 Speaker 1: what people can do to Sam Bradford and domin Can 773 00:42:48,200 --> 00:42:50,520 Speaker 1: Sue told us that a couple of weeks ago. I 774 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,160 Speaker 1: just I remain as even if he's healthy and he's, 775 00:42:53,200 --> 00:42:55,120 Speaker 1: you know, right now maybe in line to be the starter, 776 00:42:55,960 --> 00:42:58,279 Speaker 1: there's nothing that we're seeing or anything that's gonna lead 777 00:42:58,320 --> 00:43:00,239 Speaker 1: should lead anyone to believe that this is a gonna 778 00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 1: end with Rosen playing a lot because Bradford's body isn't 779 00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:06,640 Speaker 1: built for the game, we shall see. Can't disagree. I 780 00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 1: can see Ron Wolfley, by the way, being good friends 781 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:11,200 Speaker 1: with Bill Walton and going to like a ton of 782 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 1: grateful dead shows together. Like one other thing from this game. 783 00:43:20,239 --> 00:43:22,400 Speaker 1: Jason Rhet didn't play for the Chargers last year, and 784 00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,399 Speaker 1: they still had a top ten defense. They look even 785 00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:28,200 Speaker 1: faster this year with those three rookies. I really like 786 00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:32,720 Speaker 1: the Chargers. I know Dan doesn't like um compliments directed 787 00:43:32,719 --> 00:43:35,120 Speaker 1: towards the Chargers, but I still like this. Tam Now, 788 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:38,759 Speaker 1: You're right positivity Derwin James is. I think they're very 789 00:43:38,760 --> 00:43:41,920 Speaker 1: excited about This is year two of Gus Bradley's system, 790 00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,080 Speaker 1: and they I think they have the best pass rush 791 00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:48,359 Speaker 1: duo in the league, and they have a very deep secondary. 792 00:43:48,400 --> 00:43:51,080 Speaker 1: I mean, that's about That's exactly what you're looking for. 793 00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,080 Speaker 1: You just need the Chargers DNA that it's that has 794 00:43:54,160 --> 00:43:55,839 Speaker 1: that we are tired up at this point. I think 795 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 1: their fans obviously are is this. We cannot close out games, 796 00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:02,160 Speaker 1: and no matter even if we brought, you know, a 797 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:05,400 Speaker 1: twenty three year old made in the lab like version 798 00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:09,879 Speaker 1: of Sebastian Janikowski, we would still somehow lose four kick 799 00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:12,239 Speaker 1: four games on the last second kick every season to 800 00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:14,279 Speaker 1: that point. Like even what you were saying earlier, Greg, 801 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:17,120 Speaker 1: because you're a Charger stand too. It's like, well, if 802 00:44:17,160 --> 00:44:20,280 Speaker 1: only Joey Bosa came back one week earlier. It's like, listen, 803 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:22,720 Speaker 1: these guys make their own luck, and they're the Chargers 804 00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:25,000 Speaker 1: for a reason, and maybe this will be the air changes, 805 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:29,360 Speaker 1: that's all. You don't believe that, I don't, But you 806 00:44:29,400 --> 00:44:32,719 Speaker 1: don't have any roster Gino. Gino looked pretty decent. What 807 00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:34,719 Speaker 1: are they going to do. Looks like Gina's gonna win 808 00:44:34,760 --> 00:44:37,439 Speaker 1: that backup job over Cardel Jones, which his career would 809 00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:43,040 Speaker 1: be basically be over. Now. You can't, honestly, Greg, you 810 00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:47,160 Speaker 1: don't still you don't still carry this torch for Gino Smith. 811 00:44:47,320 --> 00:44:50,040 Speaker 1: I've had to have released. I think he's better than 812 00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:52,520 Speaker 1: people think. And if he had a chance in a 813 00:44:52,719 --> 00:44:55,200 Speaker 1: in a great situation like the Chargers, he'd played pretty well. 814 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:58,160 Speaker 1: Aren't there at this point so many other quarterbacks to 815 00:44:58,239 --> 00:45:01,479 Speaker 1: be interested in than Gino Smith? Why not be lloyal? 816 00:45:01,560 --> 00:45:05,080 Speaker 1: Should be? You know, well, it's loyal, hasn't He still 817 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:08,040 Speaker 1: hasn't really played since that one four game stretch that 818 00:45:08,080 --> 00:45:09,879 Speaker 1: I liked he played last year. I thought he looked 819 00:45:09,880 --> 00:45:12,960 Speaker 1: pretty good one that game. He did play better than 820 00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:15,640 Speaker 1: Cardinal Jones. But the book on Gino Smith, and believe 821 00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:17,440 Speaker 1: me on this, is that he's a turnover machine. I 822 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:19,719 Speaker 1: believe he threw a pick and a fumble, uh in 823 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:23,600 Speaker 1: limited action this week. Generally not, It's generally not to 824 00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: the player's favor when he's been for four years. Because 825 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,360 Speaker 1: Gino Smith, come on, give me a Gino Smith in 826 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:31,840 Speaker 1: the locker room. Is someone that you know teammates have 827 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:34,879 Speaker 1: not warmed up. Two coaches don't warm up. I mean 828 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:38,120 Speaker 1: that matters if you're a quarterback on the right side 829 00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:42,680 Speaker 1: of history. Greg. They've wound up on Gino Smith and 830 00:45:43,360 --> 00:45:46,360 Speaker 1: have not warmed up now missed kicks for the Chargers 831 00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:49,560 Speaker 1: sturgis one for one A GUYO hit a couple of 832 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,680 Speaker 1: extra points bang, which should not be or in that 833 00:45:53,760 --> 00:46:07,279 Speaker 1: game you say one for one? Um? All right? The 834 00:46:07,320 --> 00:46:11,800 Speaker 1: best part of that is not only not only uh 835 00:46:11,960 --> 00:46:14,120 Speaker 1: did he make that comment? I would just assume the 836 00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:16,279 Speaker 1: play by play guy who's been hearing this for years 837 00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:19,839 Speaker 1: usually lets these goes go. But after that it was like, wait, 838 00:46:19,880 --> 00:46:21,840 Speaker 1: what well? And that and that was were you and 839 00:46:21,880 --> 00:46:24,839 Speaker 1: I recovering the game that night?

What did this guy just say? 844 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,600 Speaker 1: And then when the minute I got to where we 845 00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:38,080 Speaker 1: had a beer beforehand and we gotta die the same? 846 00:46:38,440 --> 00:46:41,719 Speaker 1: All right?

Confidence rating entering week two the 887 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,239 Speaker 1: preseason or this week depends how you want to look 888 00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:56,399 Speaker 1: at it, Uh Mark, Why don't I start it? Ties 889 00:48:56,440 --> 00:49:00,560 Speaker 1: into something that we already talked about? Um in the 890 00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:02,960 Speaker 1: another segment we did what was the segment where it 891 00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:05,440 Speaker 1: was like dance like nine point nine on the Jets. 892 00:49:05,640 --> 00:49:08,719 Speaker 1: What no, what no one else is talking about, but 893 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,880 Speaker 1: they should be that segment I I I said that 894 00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:14,640 Speaker 1: I thought the Brown the Broncos were closer to a 895 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,200 Speaker 1: four win outfit than a playoff team. And uh, I'm 896 00:49:18,200 --> 00:49:20,360 Speaker 1: not gonna get too excited about Week one of the preseason. 897 00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:24,759 Speaker 1: But again, Paxton Lynch a complete wash out. As we 898 00:49:24,880 --> 00:49:27,919 Speaker 1: just talked about Chad Kelly. Everybody get all excited about 899 00:49:28,000 --> 00:49:30,799 Speaker 1: John always Skill taking seventh round quarterbacks. I'm just not 900 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:33,520 Speaker 1: gonna do it. And that leaves Case Keenum. Is he 901 00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:36,000 Speaker 1: the right guy? Uh? Is he gonna have the same 902 00:49:36,040 --> 00:49:38,920 Speaker 1: type of seasons season? We'll see about that. But if 903 00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:41,680 Speaker 1: I'm a fan and I'm a columnist at the Denver Post, 904 00:49:41,760 --> 00:49:44,799 Speaker 1: and I'm freaking out right now, I would put the 905 00:49:44,840 --> 00:49:50,239 Speaker 1: confidence level surrounding the Broncos quarterback room at a oh 906 00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:54,840 Speaker 1: three point one uh entering week to the pre season, 907 00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,480 Speaker 1: just because this doesn't feel right, This doesn't pass the 908 00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:03,400 Speaker 1: smell test three point one. I mean, this is the 909 00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:08,320 Speaker 1: ultimate sample size ridiculousness. If Case Keenum, you know, completed 910 00:50:08,320 --> 00:50:10,920 Speaker 1: a twenty yard pass instead of missing one and no 911 00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 1: one would care is four throws? Don't don't hit me 912 00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:17,279 Speaker 1: with that because I'm not facing just on the preseason game. 913 00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:19,600 Speaker 1: I was ahead of this before the game, and I'm 914 00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:23,600 Speaker 1: sticking with it. Greg three point one. I mean this 915 00:50:23,719 --> 00:50:26,920 Speaker 1: quarterback room put the last year's quarterback room put the 916 00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:30,040 Speaker 1: defense in such a fixed week after week. You have 917 00:50:30,160 --> 00:50:32,239 Speaker 1: to think that if you get any version of Case 918 00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:34,080 Speaker 1: Kingdom even close to last year, and he's on a 919 00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:36,680 Speaker 1: much different offense, and it's that's probably where the regression 920 00:50:36,719 --> 00:50:40,080 Speaker 1: is going to come from. The surrounding characters. But can 921 00:50:40,120 --> 00:50:44,520 Speaker 1: you possibly produce as many bone headed turnovers in opposing 922 00:50:44,640 --> 00:50:46,719 Speaker 1: terror in your own territory as you did last year 923 00:50:46,760 --> 00:50:48,319 Speaker 1: for that defense? I think it's got to be better. 924 00:50:48,360 --> 00:50:51,239 Speaker 1: It's Courtland Sutton gonna improve the team. People seem to 925 00:50:51,280 --> 00:50:54,560 Speaker 1: like him as Royce Freeman gonna improve the team. Made 926 00:50:54,600 --> 00:50:56,440 Speaker 1: a couple of plays the other night. We're not going 927 00:50:56,520 --> 00:50:58,160 Speaker 1: to know until the regular season. To me, it's all 928 00:50:58,160 --> 00:51:01,600 Speaker 1: about the offensive line. Protected you say the quarterback room, 929 00:51:01,800 --> 00:51:04,480 Speaker 1: I would still take Trevor. I would take Trevor Simeon 930 00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:08,440 Speaker 1: on the Vikings over like Case Keenum on the Broncos. 931 00:51:08,760 --> 00:51:10,880 Speaker 1: It's like you you think about the surroundings, like if 932 00:51:10,880 --> 00:51:12,560 Speaker 1: Simeon had to play for the Vikings, I think they'll 933 00:51:12,600 --> 00:51:15,359 Speaker 1: do fine. So it's more about the surroundings than it 934 00:51:15,440 --> 00:51:19,719 Speaker 1: is just case keen three point one, Mark, you're up 935 00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:21,839 Speaker 1: all right. I was gonna go Vikings, but I think 936 00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,280 Speaker 1: West summed up the Vikings really well in the last 937 00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:27,480 Speaker 1: chat we had, so I am going to well, it's 938 00:51:27,520 --> 00:51:30,800 Speaker 1: just redundant. We get the Vikings. The Vikings are soaring 939 00:51:30,960 --> 00:51:33,799 Speaker 1: towards anything less than an NFC title game. Probably at 940 00:51:33,800 --> 00:51:35,839 Speaker 1: home would be disappointed. I don't like that. If I'm 941 00:51:35,880 --> 00:51:41,279 Speaker 1: a thinker, that'd be nervous too. But you have to 942 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:43,319 Speaker 1: at some point this is what you want. You want 943 00:51:43,320 --> 00:51:45,680 Speaker 1: to be that team, and now you gotta slay the Dragons. 944 00:51:45,800 --> 00:51:49,400 Speaker 1: There is a Eagles, rams you know, Packers. There's good teams. 945 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 1: Maybe the ninety nine season after they did the fifteen 946 00:51:52,400 --> 00:51:54,759 Speaker 1: and one and blew the Gary Anderson game. Could you 947 00:51:54,840 --> 00:51:57,360 Speaker 1: look at the Vikings team and say there there have 948 00:51:57,480 --> 00:52:00,360 Speaker 1: been this man, the expectations were this high? Well, I 949 00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:02,799 Speaker 1: would say this, I'd say real quick with them. One thing, 950 00:52:02,920 --> 00:52:06,400 Speaker 1: you're getting Dalvin Cook back and you haven't lost anything, 951 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,880 Speaker 1: and you maybe and you potentially quarterback. So I created 952 00:52:10,920 --> 00:52:12,879 Speaker 1: on the defensive line with Sheldon Richard have a first 953 00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,759 Speaker 1: round cornerback that they really like that might actually end 954 00:52:15,840 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 1: up playing great coaching staff usually, but my confidence level 955 00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:24,040 Speaker 1: has risen on a team called the Bengals from Cincinnati. 956 00:52:24,520 --> 00:52:27,800 Speaker 1: This was mine too, was it? I took your vikings? 957 00:52:28,160 --> 00:52:31,960 Speaker 1: Is well? What a revenge move by Zessler kids and 958 00:52:32,080 --> 00:52:35,200 Speaker 1: cousins falling upon I think spinning about this, I've got 959 00:52:35,320 --> 00:52:39,000 Speaker 1: it back about this. I'll pause on this though. I'll 960 00:52:39,080 --> 00:52:43,440 Speaker 1: let you know to get out of here. It's the 961 00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:45,520 Speaker 1: whole a f C. North. I think the whole a 962 00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:48,400 Speaker 1: f C. North is on the upswing. Right now, we 963 00:52:48,480 --> 00:52:51,839 Speaker 1: are going to talk about the Breads, talk about talking 964 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,600 Speaker 1: about them at all. They're the team I think is 965 00:52:53,600 --> 00:52:55,520 Speaker 1: probably still going to be a four or five win team. 966 00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,560 Speaker 1: It's the I don't know if Joe Flacco is gonna 967 00:52:58,560 --> 00:53:00,719 Speaker 1: be Kenny Stable or two. Here, let settle down with that. 968 00:53:00,800 --> 00:53:02,520 Speaker 1: He's still Joe Flacco and he's not gonna have a 969 00:53:02,560 --> 00:53:05,439 Speaker 1: breakout season at age thirty three or whatever. But every 970 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:08,319 Speaker 1: one of these teams outside of Cleveland, I could see 971 00:53:08,320 --> 00:53:10,239 Speaker 1: all of them in the playoffs. Cincinnati is the team. 972 00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:12,400 Speaker 1: I did not think that about two months ago. I 973 00:53:12,480 --> 00:53:15,839 Speaker 1: just thought it's another Andy Dalton situation where even if 974 00:53:15,880 --> 00:53:17,719 Speaker 1: you get the best version of many Dalton are gonna 975 00:53:17,719 --> 00:53:19,759 Speaker 1: find a way to go nine and seven or eight 976 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:22,200 Speaker 1: and eight and get bumped from this. But I really think, 977 00:53:22,239 --> 00:53:24,080 Speaker 1: and it's based a little bit on what we saw 978 00:53:24,120 --> 00:53:26,640 Speaker 1: in the preseason game, that Joe Mixon is ready to 979 00:53:26,719 --> 00:53:30,080 Speaker 1: be the lead dude. You've got a lot happening at 980 00:53:30,120 --> 00:53:32,520 Speaker 1: wide receiver. I think you have more speed on that team. 981 00:53:32,880 --> 00:53:36,680 Speaker 1: West had your comment, well, I would say that. I 982 00:53:36,719 --> 00:53:39,520 Speaker 1: would say right now now, I just I don't want to. 983 00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:42,040 Speaker 1: I feel I entered the off season at the same 984 00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:45,080 Speaker 1: like three point one that Dan feels about the Broncos offense. 985 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,280 Speaker 1: That's how I felt about the Bengals offense in January, 986 00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:51,160 Speaker 1: and every month it's just gone higher to the point 987 00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:53,839 Speaker 1: where I give the Bengals offense about a seven point 988 00:53:53,920 --> 00:53:57,240 Speaker 1: four Right now on my confidence scale, I'll go about 989 00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:02,280 Speaker 1: seven seven six. What was that? Dan is just writing? 990 00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:06,239 Speaker 1: Just set the note to me? Should we bail on 991 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:12,799 Speaker 1: this set? I think it's going so poor, it's fun. Well, 992 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: let's let's keep Let's definitely keep it. It's keep it going, 993 00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,799 Speaker 1: it's fun. We're just talking about football. I'll go next, Well, 994 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,960 Speaker 1: I think West is up. Okay, go ahead? Wait do 995 00:54:23,040 --> 00:54:25,080 Speaker 1: you want to go though? Go ahead? Hey? What the hell? 996 00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,920 Speaker 1: I mean? What's the order? What does it matter? Well? Typically, yes, 997 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,640 Speaker 1: the order I go Mark. It's a liberating feeling being 998 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: in the middle of a disaster because you can't really 999 00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:38,440 Speaker 1: mess it up more the Tennessee Titans. I was at 1000 00:54:38,440 --> 00:54:40,759 Speaker 1: about an eight in terms of the confidence scale coming 1001 00:54:40,800 --> 00:54:43,560 Speaker 1: into the preseason, and right now I'm at a five 1002 00:54:43,800 --> 00:54:47,880 Speaker 1: point seven in the confident scale. Very under the radar. 1003 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:51,640 Speaker 1: They've just kind of a weird camp that just a 1004 00:54:51,719 --> 00:54:53,680 Speaker 1: lot of things are just kind of adding up. Corey 1005 00:54:53,760 --> 00:54:55,600 Speaker 1: Davis has been in and out of practice, missed the 1006 00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:57,440 Speaker 1: preseason open. He's out there now, so that's not a 1007 00:54:57,520 --> 00:55:01,200 Speaker 1: huge issue. But Richard Matthews has not practiced at all. 1008 00:55:01,400 --> 00:55:03,600 Speaker 1: No one has said why he's hurt. He's a key 1009 00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:06,040 Speaker 1: part of that team. He hasn't been out there. Jack 1010 00:55:06,080 --> 00:55:08,800 Speaker 1: Conklin is coming off of a very serious injury. He 1011 00:55:08,920 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: has not practiced one bit. Who knows if he's going 1012 00:55:11,080 --> 00:55:13,280 Speaker 1: to be ready. Those are two key starters and offense 1013 00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,759 Speaker 1: for Sean Evans. Everyone was really excited he's going to 1014 00:55:15,800 --> 00:55:18,520 Speaker 1: help change their defense. He hasn't practiced since the second 1015 00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:20,719 Speaker 1: or third day at camp. Brian A. Rackbo has not 1016 00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:23,880 Speaker 1: practiced since the second or third day at camp. Jonathan Cyprian. 1017 00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:26,000 Speaker 1: Their safety is out for the season, and so these 1018 00:55:26,040 --> 00:55:28,839 Speaker 1: are four or five kind of key guys and it's 1019 00:55:28,880 --> 00:55:31,480 Speaker 1: a new staff and you just add him up. My 1020 00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:34,920 Speaker 1: confidence level going down. Let me answ you this, what 1021 00:55:35,200 --> 00:55:38,319 Speaker 1: is your confidence level that Corey Davis will play all 1022 00:55:38,360 --> 00:55:44,640 Speaker 1: sixteen games? Three point nine? That might be too high. 1023 00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,680 Speaker 1: Three point nine. He hasn't been a healthy, healthy pro 1024 00:55:48,360 --> 00:55:51,400 Speaker 1: or or in college for that matter, Dan, Marcus Mariota 1025 00:55:51,440 --> 00:55:54,520 Speaker 1: stay healthy. That's a good question. Dan, Your confidence level 1026 00:55:54,560 --> 00:55:58,040 Speaker 1: in this segment hasn't risen with Gregg's promising entry right there. 1027 00:55:58,480 --> 00:56:00,920 Speaker 1: Let's see when I started, I would say it was 1028 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,200 Speaker 1: like at a two point three, and then it went 1029 00:56:04,280 --> 00:56:06,920 Speaker 1: down to about one point nine, and then it went 1030 00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,879 Speaker 1: to Greg and it's up to like a two. Yeah. Wait, 1031 00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:12,040 Speaker 1: now this is an upcoming column from you, so that 1032 00:56:12,160 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 1: does not I'll throw one out there. This is from 1033 00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:20,560 Speaker 1: Greg's excellent Winners Losers column of Week one of the preseason. 1034 00:56:20,680 --> 00:56:23,799 Speaker 1: A tweet from Armando Salgaro of the Miami Hairs can 1035 00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:27,719 Speaker 1: only help that Davian Howard, but the Dolphins cornerback has 1036 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:33,160 Speaker 1: stolen DeVante parker soul. My confidence is Avian Howard because 1037 00:56:33,360 --> 00:56:36,600 Speaker 1: I watched him shut people down late last season emerging 1038 00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:38,640 Speaker 1: as a number one cornerback. Is it about an eight 1039 00:56:38,719 --> 00:56:41,600 Speaker 1: point eight right now? My confidence in DeVante Parker is 1040 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:45,000 Speaker 1: it about a one point m? I like that. That's good, 1041 00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,280 Speaker 1: Like that's good for the Dolphins and also absolutely terrible 1042 00:56:48,320 --> 00:56:50,640 Speaker 1: for the Dolphins, like they need Parker to become the 1043 00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:53,040 Speaker 1: breakout guy. It's one of those things too, that's been 1044 00:56:53,120 --> 00:56:56,600 Speaker 1: day after day, like every single training camp recap. It's 1045 00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:59,800 Speaker 1: like DeVante Parker another tough day, whereas Avian Howard just 1046 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:02,319 Speaker 1: destroyed him. I have a feeling Toavie and Howard would 1047 00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:04,480 Speaker 1: be doing that to any of the Dolphins receivers. Put 1048 00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:06,400 Speaker 1: Albert Wilson on the field a little more. Wasn't with 1049 00:57:06,480 --> 00:57:10,600 Speaker 1: the starters at all? Dollars put him on the field. 1050 00:57:11,600 --> 00:57:17,840 Speaker 1: Um final confidence grade for this seg wow. Coincidentally, same 1051 00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,120 Speaker 1: as a confidence in the Broncos quarterback Roun with three 1052 00:57:20,160 --> 00:57:25,120 Speaker 1: point one. This segment will not be brought back. I 1053 00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,600 Speaker 1: mean it was, it was short though, you know, if 1054 00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:32,840 Speaker 1: if it's not it's not, especially for the listeners fast 1055 00:57:32,880 --> 00:57:36,200 Speaker 1: forwarding for it.
