Speaker 2: as the Eagles would take on the Cowboys. Here the

Speaker 2: Cowboys in the New Seas.

15
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 3: Days, I don't know.

16
00:00:54,360 --> 00:01:01,040
Speaker 4: Are we're talking about Oklahoma State Cowboys, Wyoming Cowboys? Which

17
00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,200
Speaker 4: one is all he talking about?

18
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,160
Speaker 2: Well, we will have Adam Kaplan, our NFL insider, coming

19
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 2: up with us in about fifteen minutes, so we'll definitely

20
00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 2: get into what's happening with the Cowboys and a lot

21
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 2: of things around the National Football League. All right, So,

22
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,160
Speaker 2: but I want to start off from with what happened

23
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,759
Speaker 2: this morning, because you have to. It is very rare

24
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,520
Speaker 2: that we get this kind of a matchup to open

25
00:01:21,640 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: up the college football season. By the way, I thought

26
00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 2: it was great what they did with leeksho.

27
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 4: Shout out to Lee Corso, Man, you want to talk

28
00:01:27,760 --> 00:01:32,080
Speaker 4: about you know, just class personify.

29
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,039
Speaker 2: Well, you know, it's so funny. And Lee admitted this

30
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,160
Speaker 2: when he went to ESPN, and he was his legacy

31
00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,319
Speaker 2: as a college football coach was very similar to Dick

32
00:01:40,360 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 2: vi Tal's legacy as a basketball coach, where you know,

33
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:47,160
Speaker 2: he big personality, but it just wasn't working as a coach.

34
00:01:47,560 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 2: And now he's relegated to be in a broadcaster. And

35
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 2: when he launched help launch College Game Day back in

36
00:01:54,760 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 2: the day with beIN o'cook and Tim Brando, was the

37
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: original host of College Game Day on ESPN. He made

38
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 2: Claire I want to be the Dick Vitale of college football,

39
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 2: and he has been that and more so for him

40
00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: to have that final sendoff and by the way, correctly

41
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: predict that Ohio State was going to win that game

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: a great sun. He's ninety years old. I mean, the

43
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: guy has had an amazing life, recovered from a stroke

44
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 2: fifteen years ago to continue his career. So absolutely as

45
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: a college football nut, that I am that you are.

46
00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:31,639
Speaker 2: Lee carso added a lot from to the landscape of

47
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 2: college football.

48
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,400
Speaker 4: He did, and he I also added a lot to

49
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:42,600
Speaker 4: you know, players who step into that, into the business

50
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: of covering games in the media, just with his energy,

51
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:49,959
Speaker 4: his personalities, just like the basketball guys. Everybody took a

52
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:53,959
Speaker 4: little bit of something from Dick Vie to the excitement. Right,

53
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:57,839
Speaker 4: Sometimes as players we can lose our excitement because we're

54
00:02:57,880 --> 00:03:00,639
Speaker 4: so into the technical aspects of things and trying to

55
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,359
Speaker 4: give a take that a lot of people who didn't

56
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: play give. But he just reminded you just to bring

57
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 4: that energy, man, bring that energy. If you're excited, then

58
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:11,840
Speaker 4: fans and viewers would be excited.

59
00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 2: Absolutely. In fact, Kirk Kurbstrae was what twenty five years old.

60
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Speaker 2: He was replacing Craig James on college game day and

61
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 2: obviously he gives so much credit and well should for

62
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 2: his development and the career he had thanks to the league

63
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: course up. All right, So we are sitting down now

64
00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 2: ready for this matchup. All right, So going into.

65
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 3: The game, Eve four, what time did you get up?

66
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,880
Speaker 2: Oh? I was up at I was up at before seven.

67
00:03:34,920 --> 00:03:35,760
Speaker 3: That was up game.

68
00:03:36,120 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 2: I had had the coffee you know, Scott, I was

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,520
Speaker 2: going to watch the game with my younger son. My

70
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:43,600
Speaker 2: older son's out of town, my daughter's out of town.

71
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 2: So he and I were going to buckle down. We're

72
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: gonna watch, you know, from beginning to end. But before

73
00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 2: we even get to the game, though, what were you expecting?

74
00:03:52,320 --> 00:03:55,800
Speaker 2: You have number one ranked Texas with arch manning Sarcasian.

75
00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:58,720
Speaker 2: Texas had a great run obviously a year ago against

76
00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:01,880
Speaker 2: the defending national champs. They're going to have a new quarterback.

77
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: It's got a five star quarterback coming in, but it's

78
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: a new quarterback there. It was such an interesting year

79
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,600
Speaker 2: for Ohio State last year, after that disastrous loss to

80
00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: Michigan to still be able to get into the playoff

81
00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: and then run the table and win the national championship.

82
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,520
Speaker 2: What did you expect going into that game? Did you

83
00:04:19,560 --> 00:04:22,040
Speaker 2: expect it to be a defensive struggle where you think

84
00:04:22,080 --> 00:04:24,359
Speaker 2: it was going to be a shootout? What were you expecting?

85
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 3: Number one?

86
00:04:26,040 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 4: Those early games are always you know, gear to the defense.

87
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 4: It's different, especially when you have so many new pieces.

88
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 4: You got a new quarterback, game, you got new receivers.

89
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 4: Both of these teams lost about twenty seven players total,

90
00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:46,640
Speaker 4: to the draft. And once you have that level of turnover,

91
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 4: especially at the signal caller, as the signal callus a quarterback,

92
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:57,159
Speaker 4: then I'm always like, okay, it'll be a defensive game,

93
00:04:57,240 --> 00:04:59,719
Speaker 4: and then as the second half goals, they'll probably open

94
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:00,720
Speaker 4: up a little bit more.

95
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 2: Let me stop you for a second here, because I

96
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: you know, we we obviously talk about training camp in

97
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 2: the NFL, so we get to see it. We do

98
00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,680
Speaker 2: have preseason football and everything else. Really, people don't understand

99
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,039
Speaker 2: what's the lead up to the college football season. We

100
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 2: hear about springball, right, and then how many weeks do

101
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: you actually have to get ready for that opening game

102
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 2: where you got everybody on the field. Obviously a lot

103
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: of new players. That turn over its tremendous. It's college

104
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:31,760
Speaker 2: so you've got guys coming in and out, especially now

105
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 2: with the transfer portal, you got guys coming in for

106
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 2: different programs. I remember a couple of years ago, link

107
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,839
Speaker 2: kiffn D, I don't know, like twenty guys in the

108
00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 2: transfer portal and they asked them, you know, what do

109
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:42,239
Speaker 2: you think, he goes.

110
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:42,839
Speaker 5: I have no idea.

111
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 2: They're all coming from different programs, and you know, and

112
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 2: I've got you know, like three weeks, four weeks and

113
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: get them all on the same page.

114
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 3: Yeah.

115
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 4: And for me, you know, I didn't want to put

116
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 4: the expectation on arch manning shoulder that the world has.

117
00:05:58,800 --> 00:05:59,000
Speaker 3: Right.

118
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,440
Speaker 4: This is supposed to be the Heisman front runner, this

119
00:06:01,560 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 4: is the number one team in the country. He's only

120
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 4: thrown about ninety passes prior to today, never started on the road.

121
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,000
Speaker 4: That's a tall task to go on the road to

122
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,360
Speaker 4: the defending national champions, one thousand people in the Shoe

123
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 4: for your first start on the road. And so I

124
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:25,200
Speaker 4: expected pretty much what I saw. I you know, he

125
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:27,800
Speaker 4: was a little rattled, a little off a little bit

126
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 4: second half. They used his legs a little bit more

127
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 4: to get him into into a rhythm. But I mean

128
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 4: any team in the country going into Ohio State into

129
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 4: the Shoe today as the first game would it'd be difficult,

130
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:45,320
Speaker 4: let alone for a first time starter, no matter how

131
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:48,800
Speaker 4: great he's projected to be. Now, this isn't an indictment

132
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 4: on arch Manning. No, he will you know, we'll revisit

133
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,000
Speaker 4: this conversation at the end of the college year. And

134
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 4: and but you can't his career won't be an indicative

135
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,479
Speaker 4: of the numbers that he put up today.

136
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 2: Let me make it like, by the way, did you

137
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,440
Speaker 2: know I have a Heisman vote?

138
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 3: Do you have your favorites?

139
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:11,960
Speaker 5: Yeah?

140
00:07:12,480 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 6: You know.

141
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,920
Speaker 2: I don't understand this. The Heisman is not a career award,

142
00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 2: it's a season award. So until we get a few

143
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 2: games under our belt and we can actually see what

144
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:25,680
Speaker 2: guys are actually doing, I mean not counting arch Manning

145
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: out yet. But obviously he didn't do himself and he favors.

146
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:31,720
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you what, Sark didn't do him any fake.

147
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 2: I felt like, here's what I felt going into this game.

148
00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 2: So you're on the road. That's a tall task. Obviously

149
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,680
Speaker 2: you're going against a really good Ohio State defense. But

150
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 2: the one thing I thought that you would do with

151
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 2: a quarterback that yes he hasn't started a game on

152
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 2: the road, Yes he has limited time, but he's two

153
00:07:51,400 --> 00:07:56,200
Speaker 2: years into that Texas program. I come out firing. I'm

154
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:59,040
Speaker 2: going to try to put Ohio State on their heels

155
00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: early by running. And then I understand Texas has elite

156
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:04,080
Speaker 2: running backs, so they got a lead talent. Both these

157
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:07,120
Speaker 2: schools have huge talent on both sides of the football.

158
00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 2: But I would have at least come out firing and

159
00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,840
Speaker 2: try to get Ohio State's defense a little bit on

160
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: their heels, you know, a little bit uncertain, because the

161
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 2: idea of just running the ball up the middle over

162
00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 2: and over again, to me, really got Ohio State into

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 2: their game, not just physically but mentally. And after that

164
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,840
Speaker 2: it was almost impossible to get anything done against that

165
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:32,800
Speaker 2: Buck guy's defense.

166
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 4: What what I'll tell you is, I'm sure Sark didn't

167
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,000
Speaker 4: want to put him under the gun that fast.

168
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:41,720
Speaker 3: Now, look like I said.

169
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 2: But is that really putting him under the gun.

170
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you drop back seven step drops and you're

171
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,360
Speaker 4: looking down the field, they got a brand new offensive

172
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 4: lineup there. Yeah, I got one guy that got the

173
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 4: right guard. They got one guy who they knew exactly

174
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 4: what they had. So the last thing, trusts me, the

175
00:08:59,559 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 4: last thing he wanted to do, well say, okay, let's

176
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:05,360
Speaker 4: open this thing up. Let's air it out and put

177
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 4: him under instant pressure. You want to get him into

178
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 4: a groove to hand the ball off, hand the ball off,

179
00:09:11,640 --> 00:09:14,320
Speaker 4: move him out of the pocket, just get Remember this

180
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 4: is brand new for him, this is at this level.

181
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 4: He's never played in a game at this level at

182
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 4: this time. And I think it was important, and I

183
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:27,640
Speaker 4: think Sark and that whole coaching staff wanted to make.

184
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 3: It as fluid and as simple as possible to start

185
00:09:32,280 --> 00:09:32,640
Speaker 3: the game.

186
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 2: Well, I can't. I guess the question I had over

187
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,800
Speaker 2: the last two years is this, because arch Manning, forget

188
00:09:39,800 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 2: the Manning name, just Arch Manning was the number one

189
00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:46,680
Speaker 2: rate of high school prospect in the country and he

190
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:49,800
Speaker 2: sits for two years behind Quinn Ewers, who stand that

191
00:09:50,080 --> 00:09:54,000
Speaker 2: seventh round draft pick and has zero future in the NFL. Zero.

192
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 2: I mean Quin yours probably will never take a snap

193
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,200
Speaker 2: in the National Football as a starting quarterback. So my

194
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: point is, if he was all that, think about what

195
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,080
Speaker 2: Alabama did with to a tongue Bye Low and Jalen Hurts.

196
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 2: Hurts was a two year starter and they benched him

197
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,920
Speaker 2: for two a tongue of buy loa well then the

198
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,400
Speaker 2: whole next year. Yeah, so he sat on the bench.

199
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: I always gave Jalen Hurts a lot of credit for

200
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: just taking it. Then he transferred to Oklahoma and the

201
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 2: rest is history. But if arch Manny was all that,

202
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:28,319
Speaker 2: then how come he had to sit for two years

203
00:10:28,559 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 2: behind quin you weres.

204
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,280
Speaker 4: The difference is the money. The difference is the money.

205
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:39,840
Speaker 4: Back then, we didn't know about any money. Okay, now

206
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:44,559
Speaker 4: there's a price tag. Quen Ers had a price tag, yes,

207
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 4: attached to him. So now you right, Like, so you

208
00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 4: you can't.

209
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 2: I would let to turn back the clock. You haven

210
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 2: I gave it fromim as a diehard ass tech. Okay,

211
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,720
Speaker 2: he is absolutely to the But if if if we

212
00:10:57,880 --> 00:10:59,839
Speaker 2: had the current state, first of all, you would have

213
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: it out in the crowd, obviously, and you would have

214
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 2: played one year at San Diego State and the north

215
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:09,239
Speaker 2: he knocking on that door transfer portal. Here comes Oklahoma,

216
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:12,680
Speaker 2: here comes Alabama, here comes usc We're ready for you.

217
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 7: Man.

218
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I get it, and I understand that. But you know,

219
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 4: Texas made a decision and and our Manning made a decision.

220
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 4: What they didn't want to do is they wanted to

221
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 4: take the Manning family is what I'm talking about. They

222
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,320
Speaker 4: wanted to take time, and Texas wrote a really big

223
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 4: check and so they.

224
00:11:32,920 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 3: Were like, look, it's okay for me.

225
00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 4: Quarterbacks who play a lot in college and have multiple

226
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 4: years of starting fair better when they get to the NFL.

227
00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,200
Speaker 2: But he is in a system that he is known

228
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,680
Speaker 2: for the system, so he and it didn't look like

229
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 2: there was a lot of uncertainty. He was very uncomfortable there.

230
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:57,600
Speaker 2: He wasn't under dress every time he passed. There were

231
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 2: times when he had chances to look down the field

232
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 2: and he kept checking off and checking off and checking off,

233
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 2: and very frustrating. Well, I have more on that on

291
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,440
Speaker 2: Adam Kaplan is joining us right now. Gee, I wonder

292
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:41,720
Speaker 2: what I want to ask you first? Oh?

293
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 5: So game go?

294
00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah? All right? So bottom line, because I know you've

295
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 2: been all over this, MICHAEH. Parsonsingh bottom line was could

296
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 2: this have been avoided or was this inevitable that he

297
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:57,280
Speaker 2: was going to be sent packing?

298
00:14:57,600 --> 00:15:00,120
Speaker 9: No, here's what happened. This is really what happened. This

299
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 9: is Jerry Jones, the King of double talk. Could say

300
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 9: whatever he wants, but here's the real story. So you

301
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:08,760
Speaker 9: know he did this undercover negotiation with Micah. We've talked

302
00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 9: about this before. It was actually in April Jerry confirmed it.

303
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,280
Speaker 9: My understanding as the offers was this before the JJ

304
00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,680
Speaker 9: Watt deal for over forty million per season. Okay, he

305
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:20,080
Speaker 9: wanted him back, no matter what he said this week

306
00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:22,640
Speaker 9: after the trade. Oh, we're better and we're going to

307
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 9: be a better team now that Mike has gone. That's nonsense.

308
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 9: You made this monster offer to make him the highest

309
00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,320
Speaker 9: paid defensive player in NFL history.

310
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 5: And that's what he did.

311
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:36,640
Speaker 9: It was going to beat Miles Garrett's deal, and he

312
00:15:36,680 --> 00:15:40,040
Speaker 9: did it without the agent David Mulligeta involved, and that

313
00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,640
Speaker 9: why he decided to do that, and that's when Michael

314
00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 9: put a stop to it. Why he decided to do

315
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 9: that is beyond me, even for him. It makes no sense.

316
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 9: And you've seen some former players to beak out about it.

317
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:53,520
Speaker 9: This is not the way you do business.

318
00:15:54,760 --> 00:15:55,480
Speaker 3: And then you know you.

319
00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 9: Fast forward to this week really actually last weekend, when

320
00:15:58,120 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 9: Micah was laying on that table.

321
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:00,840
Speaker 5: What was that about?

322
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 9: I think Jerry was kind of fed up with the

323
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 9: situation and then basically Parsons felt the heat and he actually,

324
00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:11,920
Speaker 9: you know, they contacted him and basically Jerry told him

325
00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 9: it's simple, you're gonna either take You're gonna play in

326
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 9: your fifth year option, and we'll see what happens next year.

327
00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:18,360
Speaker 9: And of course he was going to do that. That

328
00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,680
Speaker 9: would have that would have made the situation way worse

329
00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 9: because it wasn't playing on it, and there was dispute

330
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:25,160
Speaker 9: about whether it was twenty one million or twenty four million.

331
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: But to more point now, and let me ask you this,

332
00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: what does that do to the locker room?

333
00:16:30,400 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 4: Michael Parsons obviously was one of the leaders on that team,

334
00:16:34,080 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: definitely the best defensive player they had in the entire building.

335
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 4: And just watching the way Jerry has handled this, uh,

336
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:46,040
Speaker 4: I know, people and Dak and probably CD and everybody

337
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,480
Speaker 4: else was like, oh, this is par for the course

338
00:16:48,560 --> 00:16:52,160
Speaker 4: and it'll get done this week coming up, just like

339
00:16:52,480 --> 00:16:55,960
Speaker 4: the other two deals did the previous two years. What

340
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 4: does this do to that locker room? Heading into the

341
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: opening day, he was six days away. How do the

342
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 4: guys now, you know, refocus it and let it go

343
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,040
Speaker 4: because it's got to be awful.

344
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:11,520
Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I mean, you're talking about one of the

345
00:17:11,520 --> 00:17:13,800
Speaker 9: top five defensive players of the National FOOTBA League, two

346
00:17:13,840 --> 00:17:16,640
Speaker 9: time All Pro, made a Pro Ball four years and

347
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,880
Speaker 9: you're taking out the football team.

348
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 5: It makes them worse. They know this. I mean, they didn't.

349
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 9: Make this trade before the draft, so they didn't get

350
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 9: anything for the season other than Kenny Clark. But by

351
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Speaker 9: the way, one personnel director from another team told me,

352
00:17:27,280 --> 00:17:28,960
Speaker 9: if this guy's a culture built or good guy, but

353
00:17:29,520 --> 00:17:33,360
Speaker 9: he turns thirty next month or actually in October, to be.

354
00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,920
Speaker 5: Exacts, so it's not good. They know this that the.

355
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 9: Players can't be happy because it makes them worse. Now,

356
00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,760
Speaker 9: Jerry claims that he talked to some of the player

357
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:44,080
Speaker 9: leaders about it, and of course he threw that stuff

358
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,760
Speaker 9: about all that the front office and the coaches were

359
00:17:46,800 --> 00:17:50,160
Speaker 9: on board. Sure, okay, yeah, they want to get worse.

360
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:51,800
Speaker 9: Sure when they're trying to keep their jobs.

361
00:17:51,880 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 2: Yeah okay yeah. And by the way, I would they

362
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 2: stop though the comparisons with the Herschel Walker trade that

363
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,679
Speaker 2: was three ones, three two. Oh, I mean it was

364
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 2: a completely different world back.

365
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 5: Of the day.

366
00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,159
Speaker 2: I mean, not even close. All right, but does this

367
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:09,919
Speaker 2: make Green Bay a Super Bowl contender? I got to

368
00:18:09,920 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 2: come clean because actually I've been saying this for the

369
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 2: last four years. Certainly I recognize Michael Parson. He's a

370
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:17,879
Speaker 2: great player, but I don't think he is as great

371
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 2: as some people have hyped him up to be. Look

372
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 2: at their last playoff game against Green Bay two years ago,

373
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 2: as they're getting blown out at home by green Bay

374
00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,919
Speaker 2: through the first three quarters, I think was like forty

375
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 2: to sixty in green Bay, zero tackles, zero sacks. In

376
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 2: four playoff games, he has one sack. So there have

377
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 2: been times when he has disappeared in big games for

378
00:18:37,760 --> 00:18:41,040
Speaker 2: the Cowboys over the years. With that being said, can

379
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: he have the same impact that I don't know Reggie

380
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:46,400
Speaker 2: White had when the Packers acquired him. The next thing

381
00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: you know, they win a Super.

382
00:18:47,320 --> 00:18:50,560
Speaker 5: Bowl nineteen ninety three. Yeah, in Plan B free agency.

383
00:18:50,680 --> 00:18:54,960
Speaker 9: So basically with Parsons, and the word around the Packers

384
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,679
Speaker 9: was they knew that other than Rashan Gary, they're just

385
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 9: not good enough on the defensive line, enough pass rush.

386
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:03,480
Speaker 9: Lucas Fanas, who was a first round in twenty twenty three.

387
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,399
Speaker 9: He was drafted to playing the thirty four front well

388
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,480
Speaker 9: the next year. The next year they fired Joe Barry,

389
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:11,399
Speaker 9: the defense coordinator. So they've gone with a forty three

390
00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 9: last year in this year, so Vanas doesn't really fit

391
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 9: and they just don't have enough pass rush and.

392
00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 5: This is one of those opportunities.

393
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 9: Or Shaun Gary's a good football player, you put him

394
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 9: next to Parsons and now you just assume they're going

395
00:19:24,520 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 9: to be really, really good. Look, I hear you in

396
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 9: the playoffs. That's a snapshot in time. But the guy's

397
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:33,880
Speaker 9: a phenomenal football player. And now I think the way

398
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 9: I heard it is they wanted if they got the

399
00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:38,400
Speaker 9: deal done in Dallas, they want to parts has taken

400
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,760
Speaker 9: a major leadership role. Now there's a question about what

401
00:19:41,800 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 9: type of leader he might have been, but you can't

402
00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 9: in terms of regular season. I get the playoffs, but

403
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 9: regular season, I mean it's almost unprecedented to think about it.

404
00:19:50,080 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 9: He's only played four years to All pros.

405
00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:57,840
Speaker 2: Yeah right, he finished top three in the Defensive Player

406
00:19:57,880 --> 00:20:00,159
Speaker 2: of the Year voting his first three years.

407
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 9: I mean, look, the guy's a phenomenal foot player. Here's

408
00:20:02,720 --> 00:20:05,120
Speaker 9: another thing. He's only twenty six. Does it turn twenty seven?

409
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:07,360
Speaker 9: See Steve. I want to touch on this. So one

410
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 9: former GM told me that, you know, I got a

411
00:20:09,520 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 9: lot of opinions. He said, don't focus on it's Green

412
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,199
Speaker 9: Bay or to another team in the conference. Focus on

413
00:20:15,200 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 9: the value. I'm like, well, could you explain that he

414
00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:18,359
Speaker 9: goes Let's be honest.

415
00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:19,040
Speaker 5: Green Bay is.

416
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:20,840
Speaker 9: A good team. They were a good team before this,

417
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,199
Speaker 9: not great. They weren't elite most likely, and barring a

418
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:28,199
Speaker 9: major injury on either side of the football, they're going

419
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:32,000
Speaker 9: to finish somewhere between probably twenty four and thirty two

420
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 9: in the draft ward of the first round. So you're

421
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,879
Speaker 9: getting it two late first round picks and an agent

422
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 9: Kenny Clark. That's not going to value, which is what

423
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:40,280
Speaker 9: the guy said. I totally agree with that.

424
00:20:40,600 --> 00:20:42,480
Speaker 4: Let me ask you this, Let's stay with Green Bay

425
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 4: and let's go to the other side of the ball.

426
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:48,679
Speaker 4: I know what Micah Parsons does for them in their defense,

427
00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 4: but this is a huge year for Jordan Love. I'm

428
00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:57,240
Speaker 4: not sure, and the jury's out for me. I'm not

429
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 4: sure if he is what people are saying he is.

430
00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:06,679
Speaker 4: Some programasticated is saying he's a favorite to be the

431
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 4: league MVP.

432
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 3: Now, is it me or Am I missing something?

433
00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 5: Are?

434
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 4: Is is he really that good? Because I'm not convinced yet.

435
00:21:17,400 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 9: He's talented, But the problem with him is when we

436
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 9: saw this, really he's only started two years, a lot

437
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,200
Speaker 9: of turnovers. You worry about that. He got hurt last season.

438
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 9: He hurt his knees, he had a finger injury. Now,

439
00:21:28,080 --> 00:21:30,000
Speaker 9: the other problem was, and the reason why they drafted

440
00:21:30,040 --> 00:21:33,359
Speaker 9: Matthew Golden the first round was because they wanted somebody

441
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:34,639
Speaker 9: who's a playmaker.

442
00:21:36,320 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 5: They just although they have pretty.

443
00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:41,040
Speaker 9: Good depth, Christian Watson, who's their best deep threat, he's

444
00:21:41,040 --> 00:21:42,560
Speaker 9: coming back from a tourn a cl he's going to

445
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:45,520
Speaker 9: miss at least the first four games. So Matthew Golden

446
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,400
Speaker 9: they're hoping, and he did have a good training camp

447
00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,440
Speaker 9: I'm told so that he's going to be a playmaker.

448
00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 9: They're very deep with their past target group.

449
00:21:51,920 --> 00:21:52,000
Speaker 5: Now.

450
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 9: Their offensive line's fine, it's not great, but it's fine.

451
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 9: He just you know that from playing offensive line and

452
00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,600
Speaker 9: watching quarterbacks, your job as a quarterbacks to make everyone

453
00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:02,919
Speaker 9: around them better, and he has not done that. On

454
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 9: your point, He's been good at times, but he doesn't

455
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 9: taken that next step.

456
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 2: All right, let's talk about the first game on Thursday.

457
00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:12,040
Speaker 2: Eagles Cowboys. I mean, the Cowboys have got to be

458
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 2: spinning right now, you know, after the Parsons situation. And

459
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:17,760
Speaker 2: then I look at the Philadelphia Eagles. I know no

460
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,800
Speaker 2: team has repeated as NFC East champs in twenty years.

461
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:24,120
Speaker 2: I know all these stats and everything, but I mean, seriously,

462
00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the Eagles this year. This is the

463
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: strongest team in the NFL by far on both sides

464
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 2: of the line. They're in the trenches. Well, I mean the statistic.

465
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 5: They are, but you don't believe they lot five starters.

466
00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:39,679
Speaker 5: They're not playing. They don't have the same team. That's

467
00:22:39,720 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 5: the probably.

468
00:22:40,080 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: Well I'm okay, the year ago they certainly were and they.

469
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:46,199
Speaker 5: Showed up, they were awesome. But again they've lost five starters.

470
00:22:46,280 --> 00:22:48,920
Speaker 2: Okay, what is and now you're closest to this Eagles team.

471
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:49,600
Speaker 3: So I look at.

472
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 9: Thirty two teams, So I look at I do strength

473
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:53,200
Speaker 9: to sketchule for all thirty two tos.

474
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,240
Speaker 2: Okay, would you still rate the Eagles as the prohibitive

475
00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:57,920
Speaker 2: favorite to come out of the NFC.

476
00:22:59,240 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 9: I got to turn it. I got a turn three

477
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,720
Speaker 9: picks in. You know what, the NFC is very op

478
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 9: wide open, Steve, I'm gonna be honest with you. Really, Yeah,

479
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:08,919
Speaker 9: Green Bay is going to be better. I know they

480
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,119
Speaker 9: choke in the playoffs. I get it that Matt Lafour's

481
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 9: not good in the playoffs. He's been like the Lamar

482
00:23:13,040 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 9: Jackson of head Coaches's great in the regular season. I'd

483
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:19,159
Speaker 9: say that, but it is true. Specting Washington take a

484
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,760
Speaker 9: big step. I know people pick apart. You know last

485
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 9: year was a fluke. The Chicago game. I don't think

486
00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 9: the a NFC West is anything great. I think it's

487
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:29,639
Speaker 9: very wide open. Tampa Bay has got all sorts of

488
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 9: injury problems. Detroit where's their past rush. I think it's

489
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,880
Speaker 9: wide open. Now it's Philly, a top four, top five team. Yes,

490
00:23:36,359 --> 00:23:38,200
Speaker 9: I would agree with that, but I am concerned, Steve.

491
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,160
Speaker 9: So here, here's my concern with Philly is left cornerback right,

492
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,080
Speaker 9: It's going to be a Dorry Jackson who's sort of

493
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,240
Speaker 9: a journeyman at thirty years old. They try Keithley Ringo,

494
00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 9: who was a fourth front pick two years ago. Didn't work.

495
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 9: That's a problem. Moult Williams has gone New England. He's

496
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,719
Speaker 9: signed a major deal. Josh Schwetz sign a Sigiffic deal

497
00:23:54,760 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 9: as a pass rusher. They low yeah, and then Brandon Graham.

498
00:24:00,080 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 9: He won't make the Pro football team, but it'll make

499
00:24:01,800 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 9: the team's Hall of Fame. He was phenomenal before he

500
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 9: got hurt. Last season. Guys, this is they lost a

501
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:08,919
Speaker 9: lot of players, five starters.

502
00:24:08,560 --> 00:24:11,040
Speaker 4: One key backup. That does worry me a little bit.

503
00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 4: Let's stay in the NFC and let's go to Chicago Bears.

504
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 4: What do you expect from Caleb Williams under the new regime?

505
00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,160
Speaker 4: And I mean everything hasn't been roleses and smiles coming

506
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:27,359
Speaker 4: out of training camp between Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams.

507
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 3: What can we expect from them? Because last year people

508
00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 3: were like, oh, they're going to the League super Bowl

509
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:32,160
Speaker 3: and all.

510
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:34,520
Speaker 4: Of that that fell flat. What are we looking forward

511
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:37,120
Speaker 4: to from the Chicago Bears this year?

512
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:39,760
Speaker 5: All Right, I'm gonna I'm gonna make this proclamation. It

513
00:24:39,800 --> 00:24:40,680
Speaker 5: won't take very long.

514
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:42,960
Speaker 9: If it's going to work either, it's going to be

515
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,879
Speaker 9: a complete disaster for Caleb Williams. Unter, bench outs and

516
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,720
Speaker 9: bench outs his short fuse. You know from being around coaches,

517
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:53,359
Speaker 9: the term coaching hard. He is on his players and

518
00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:57,119
Speaker 9: his coaches and his quarterbacks and Caleb Williams played with

519
00:24:57,119 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 9: a lack of discipline last season quite frankly at USC

520
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:00,439
Speaker 9: though he's right talented.

521
00:25:01,400 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 3: First five or six games.

522
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:03,960
Speaker 9: If this is not working out, that they're going to

523
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,680
Speaker 9: want to go to Tyson Pagent who got that nice extension,

524
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 9: but or case Keenum.

525
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 5: But this thing could get really ugly because they're no

526
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 5: more excuses.

527
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 9: They have the three new stars of the offensive line

528
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 9: of the interior. They're super talented receiver Johndre shifted a

529
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:23,879
Speaker 9: great training camp, Colston Lovelin and Carl Comata titan. I mean,

530
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 9: you want to talk about one of the most talented

531
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,480
Speaker 9: offenses the National Footall League. Bears are our top four

532
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 9: offense in terms of talent.

533
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 2: Wow, Well, we'll see how work out that. The big

534
00:25:34,119 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 2: question is going to be can Ben Johnson and Caleb

535
00:25:36,520 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 2: Willies get on the same page. Obviously Ben Johnson was

536
00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 2: on the same page, you know, with golf and it

537
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 2: worked out beautifully in Detroit. Can they get on the

538
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: same page?

539
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,159
Speaker 5: All right?

540
00:25:46,200 --> 00:25:48,200
Speaker 2: Well, Adam, at this point, all we're thinking is get

541
00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 2: the game started. That's all we want. Get the game started, Adam.

542
00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:53,200

Speaker 3: Steve?

555
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 7: It's been almost a month because I've got a haircut

556
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 7: just just for the I don't know.

557
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 2: I haven't seen it in.

558
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:32,320
Speaker 7: A month because the last time I got my haircut

559
00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 7: is when I got married.

560
00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 3: I'm doing well.

561
00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:36,480
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm doing well better than the quarterbacks we saw

562
00:26:36,480 --> 00:26:39,080
Speaker 7: it at noon today, either one of them.

563
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:40,919
Speaker 2: Yeah, rough, a little bit rough today.

564
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm uh, I'm sitting pretty though, Steve. How are you?

565
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,640
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm doing great as matter of fact, and Martin

566
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,320
Speaker 2: nine are going to do a show next Saturday, as

567
00:26:49,359 --> 00:26:50,719
Speaker 2: a matter of fact, to go. You ready to lock

568
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:51,400
Speaker 2: in with me again?

569
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,720
Speaker 3: Listen, there's America ready.

570
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 2: We got three hours next three hours, three hours think

571
00:26:57,600 --> 00:26:57,960
Speaker 2: the chef.

572
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,479
Speaker 7: Well, we have a couple of football games going on

573
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:02,160
Speaker 7: most of them are blowouts, but one of.

574
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,480
Speaker 3: Them pretty intriguing. Right here.

575
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 7: Florida State and Alabama, the Seminoles playing host to the

576
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 7: eighth rain Crimson Tide. Alabama does have the ball and

577
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 7: is driving in Florida State territory, but right now trailing

578
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 7: twenty four to ten with about twelve minutes left in

579
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 7: the fourth quarter. It's been almost all Florida State pretty

580
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 7: much from the second quarter on the scoring seventeen on

581
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,679
Speaker 7: answer to Alabama, answer with the field goal here and

582
00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:29,440
Speaker 7: see if they're able to score here. Ty Simpson has

583
00:27:29,480 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 7: been playing okay, but I just know the Alabama fans

584
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:34,040
Speaker 7: and my group chat have been losing their minds saying

585
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 7: where's the freshman?

586
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 2: Yeah? They also have no running game, Alabama.

587
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 7: Yeah game, it's you can tell Saban's been on TV

588
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:42,480
Speaker 7: for a few years now.

589
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 3: This is not a Nick Sabans Alabama team.

590
00:27:45,720 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 7: Penn State the second rate team in the nation with

591
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:50,159
Speaker 7: a forty six to three lead over in Nevada, to

592
00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 7: Georgia with the forty five to six lead over Marshall

593
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:56,679
Speaker 7: in the fourth quarter. Iowa State with a forty one

594
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 7: point lead over South Dakota, Oregon with they fifty two

595
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:03,760
Speaker 7: to six lead with twelve minutes left in the fourth quarter. There,

596
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:05,560
Speaker 7: I'm sure we have to finish that one to find

597
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,680
Speaker 7: out who's the winner. Between Oregon and Montana State, Oklahoma

598
00:28:08,760 --> 00:28:11,280
Speaker 7: with day seven to nothing lead over Illinois State, John

599
00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,920
Speaker 7: Mattier getting his first start for the Sooners of the

600
00:28:13,960 --> 00:28:17,760
Speaker 7: first quarter wines down there earlier today. Speaking of first starts,

601
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 7: it was Julian Sam's first start for the Ohio State Buckeyes,

602
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,959
Speaker 7: and he looked a lot better than the hyped up

603
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,199
Speaker 7: version of arch Manning.

604
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 2: That Steve got on a lot better, but he was as.

605
00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:29,639
Speaker 3: You know what he didn't do. He didn't need anybody

606
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 3: in their ankles. No arch Manning did. A few times today.

607
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,520
Speaker 7: Ohio State forced four tournaments on downs, to one of

608
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,600
Speaker 7: them in arch Manning touch push that didn't go into

609
00:28:38,640 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 7: the end zone.

610
00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 3: I was bad.

611
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:44,040
Speaker 7: Execution awful, Yeah, it was. I think execution the story

612
00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 7: of the day for Texas. Offensively just weren't able to

613
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 7: get it done and when they had guys open, couldn't

614
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:48,600
Speaker 7: hit him.

615
00:28:48,920 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 3: Jeremiah Smith was.

616
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,600
Speaker 7: Relatively quiet with six catch forty three yards the Buckeyes

617
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,920
Speaker 7: winners forty I'm sorry, fourteen to seven Tennessee beat Syracuse

618
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 7: forty five to twenty six. Remember Tennessee had their quarterback

619
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,280
Speaker 7: Nico iom ali avad. That was a big story of

620
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:07,520
Speaker 7: the summer. Joey Agilar got the start for day today

621
00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:11,440
Speaker 7: for the volunteers. Sixteen for twenty eight, two forty seven

622
00:29:11,480 --> 00:29:14,680
Speaker 7: and three touchdowns. Now first and goal for the Alabama

623
00:29:14,720 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 7: Crimson Tide as they try to cut this to a

624
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 7: touchdown at best.

625
00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:22,320
Speaker 3: Uh, that was ugly. All right, back to you guys.

626
00:29:22,480 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're watching it right now. So Alabama trying to

627
00:29:24,880 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 2: get into that now they got in get it they yeah, yeah,

628
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 2: ended well, all right, so a lot of time left.

629
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 2: Let me give minutes to go. Rico Scott there a

630
00:29:32,600 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 2: little six down, a six yard touchdown reception that penning

631
00:29:37,120 --> 00:29:40,000
Speaker 2: the extra point. We'll get Alabama within a touchdown here

632
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:42,320
Speaker 2: by the way, Uh quick, my mind. Every once again

633
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,560
Speaker 2: we are live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. Steve

634
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,920
Speaker 2: Hartmin and Ephrom swam with you. You know, everything has

635
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:49,920
Speaker 2: changed so much. We're talking right at the top of

636
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,360
Speaker 2: the show Ephrom about the money now, the infusion of

637
00:29:52,400 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 2: money into the collegiate game. These are professionals now, they're

638
00:29:55,360 --> 00:29:58,840
Speaker 2: actually getting paid and so the pressure on these coaches

639
00:29:59,040 --> 00:30:02,960
Speaker 2: is immense. And when you talk about high price coaches

640
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 2: on the hot seat, Kaylin de Bori is certainly on

641
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 2: that list. Lincoln Riley USC's on that list, Brian Kelly

642
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,800
Speaker 2: at LSU is on that list. And you say, well,

643
00:30:12,840 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 2: the buyouts are ridiculous. Yeah, you remember Jimbo Fisher's baya

644
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,400
Speaker 2: was seventy million plus at Texas A and M. They

645
00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 2: had no problem buying him out and sending him packing.

646
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,440
Speaker 2: So there is no price tag that is too big.

647
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I see where USC they're twenty twenty six class.

648
00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:34,000
Speaker 2: They really open up the pocketbooks. They got this superstar

649
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:36,600
Speaker 2: class coming in. I don't know if Lincoln Riley's going

650
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 2: to be there though, because if you could have predicted

651
00:30:39,440 --> 00:30:42,800
Speaker 2: when Lincoln Riley came to USC that going into year

652
00:30:42,920 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: four his team would be unranked going into his fourth

653
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:48,880
Speaker 2: year at USC, which is now his team, you get

654
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: the year four that is your team and you are unranked,

655
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 2: a middle of the pack at best Big ten school,

656
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 2: not what you invested in at US. Is it fair

657
00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:04,240
Speaker 2: Ephraim to have a different level of accountability for these

658
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:08,520
Speaker 2: college coaches now with the infusion of the nil money.

659
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 4: Well, I think it is because now you can you're

660
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,080
Speaker 4: actually building your team, You're going out and getting players

661
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 4: that you want in the transferred portal, You're offering a

662
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:21,720
Speaker 4: large sums of money for the athletes. I think I'm

663
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,560
Speaker 4: I'm essentially coming at it from the other angle when

664
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 4: it comes to these buyouts for these coaches. Now, some

665
00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:34,840
Speaker 4: schools may be able to buy out the coaches usc camp,

666
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:39,080
Speaker 4: but when you talk about the amount of money they're

667
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:44,520
Speaker 4: spending on the actual players. Now, now it's like, all right,

668
00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: do we buy out a coach for thirty forty fifty

669
00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 4: million dollars and still have to go out and attack

670
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:59,400
Speaker 4: the portal? And nil? So Now, when Jimbo got bought out,

671
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,040
Speaker 4: that was just Jimbo. They weren't paying players yet.

672
00:32:03,160 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 2: Oh but A and M was spending money. They had

673
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:07,360
Speaker 2: the number one recruiting class in the country.

674
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 4: What I'm saying is, now you're going to look at

675
00:32:11,560 --> 00:32:15,520
Speaker 4: it as an athletic director, as a school, You're going

676
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 4: to look at that buyout number a little different now,

677
00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 4: because you know you have a large portion of your

678
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,800
Speaker 4: resources or the collective of whatever they would like to

679
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 4: call it, going to the actual players.

680
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 3: Now.

681
00:32:27,280 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 4: So, now are we digging out of both pots. All right,

682
00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 4: are we just gonna dump this money out over here

683
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:36,880
Speaker 4: and dump this money out over here? So but in

684
00:32:36,960 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 4: terms of Lincoln Riley, and you want to talk about

685
00:32:39,920 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 4: a hot seat, and you got to remember, Lincoln Riley

686
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:46,400
Speaker 4: for two years had the number one college QB prospect

687
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:50,959
Speaker 4: yes on the planet and nothing to show for it.

688
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,760
Speaker 4: And so now it's like, Okay, how do you with

689
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,960
Speaker 4: less talent, how do you dig yourself out of this hole?

690
00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:02,720
Speaker 4: And for me, I'm like, ugh, it doesn't seem promising

691
00:33:03,640 --> 00:33:07,840
Speaker 4: for se and Lincoln Riley moving forward just because of

692
00:33:07,840 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 4: the dynamics of remember that was the PAC twelve.

693
00:33:10,640 --> 00:33:12,640
Speaker 3: Is no, there is not the PAC twelve anymore.

694
00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 4: Now you're in a bigger conference, tougher schools, longer travel.

695
00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 4: It's so many things that are pushing against Lincoln Riley

696
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:25,200
Speaker 4: and the SC Trojans. It's so different than when he

697
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 4: first got there.

698
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,720
Speaker 2: Well, his game if you go back to his Oklahoma

699
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:31,280
Speaker 2: days and what we've seen from USC the last three years.

700
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: When I think about USC football in the heyday, physical

701
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 2: oh yeah, physical football team in the mouth, and you

702
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 2: know they had sort of gotten away with it. And

703
00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:44,320
Speaker 2: then Pete Carroll brought it back and so physical football

704
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 2: team dominate the line of screwage. You go way back

705
00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 2: to the John McKay, John Robinson days. You know, student

706
00:33:49,720 --> 00:33:53,000
Speaker 2: body left, student body right. It wasn't a complicated play,

707
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 2: but they were so dominant up front, it didn't matter.

708
00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:59,160
Speaker 2: You know what's coming. You still can't stop us. You

709
00:33:59,280 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 2: have to play for football in the Big Ten. Oh

710
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 2: they lost every one of their Big Ten road games

711
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:08,680
Speaker 2: last year. You can't stand up to these teams in

712
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,560
Speaker 2: the Big Ten and play that physical brand of football,

713
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:14,719
Speaker 2: which is not Lincoln Riley's game. At least it has

714
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:16,480
Speaker 2: a main brings in rob Ryan. I don't know what

715
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:20,239
Speaker 2: rob Ryant can change the dynamic the mindset of this

716
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:24,279
Speaker 2: USC defense, but if anything is close, he has a

717
00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 2: worst winning percentage than Clay Helton had. Yeah, at ten

718
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 2: times the amount price tag. Uh, it just doesn't add up.

719
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,919
Speaker 2: But I mean again, you look at Kalin de Boor

720
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:39,480
Speaker 2: coming off what happened a four lost season at Alabama

721
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,280
Speaker 2: last year, and here you are right now, you're losing

722
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 2: to Florida State. They're down twenty four to seventeen, plenty

723
00:34:46,360 --> 00:34:48,719
Speaker 2: of time left, eleven minutes to go, but they're not

724
00:34:48,800 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 2: looking great right now. And I know no one's gonna

725
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:55,600
Speaker 2: that's always the problem, right You don't want to be

726
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,560
Speaker 2: the guy that replaces the guy.

727
00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 5: Yeah.

728
00:34:58,680 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 4: And when you look at se scale, it's you know, hey,

729
00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 4: today they get a chance to stretch their legs against Georgia, Southern.

730
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,360
Speaker 2: Georgia, it's it's yes.

731
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:13,040
Speaker 3: Okay, that's great. You get to see what you got.

732
00:35:13,120 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 3: Yeh can move some guys.

733
00:35:14,760 --> 00:35:16,880
Speaker 2: Look at their games coming up. In the middle of

734
00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:21,560
Speaker 2: that stress. You go to Purdue, Yes, Michigan State, yes,

735
00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 2: Ellen number twelve, Illinois. You go to Illinois. Okay, see

736
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:27,120
Speaker 2: there's a problem right there at Illinois.

737
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:32,839
Speaker 3: Michigan. Yeah. Right, then you go to Notre Dame Nebraska.

738
00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:34,839
Speaker 2: By the way, Lincoln Riley wants to take Notre Dame

739
00:35:34,880 --> 00:35:37,920
Speaker 2: off the schedule. Yes, really you want to You want

740
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:39,320
Speaker 2: to eliminate Notre Dame off.

741
00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,520
Speaker 3: The USC schedule. Yeah, because they're going to get hitting

742
00:35:41,560 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 3: them out every single.

743
00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,319
Speaker 2: A team that's not going to get hitting them out.

744
00:35:45,360 --> 00:35:48,800
Speaker 4: Hey, man, Look, it's just the wild wild West in

745
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:52,760
Speaker 4: college recruits and n I L and and guys leaving

746
00:35:52,800 --> 00:35:57,319
Speaker 4: guys coming in. It's just a tough schedule for a

747
00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,279
Speaker 4: coach who's on the hot seat right now, and we

748
00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 4: don't know who they're going to be offensively and defensively,

749
00:36:04,560 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 4: and this first game we still won't know who that is.

750
00:36:07,719 --> 00:36:09,960
Speaker 2: Brian Kelly came with a lot of hype with LSU.

751
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:12,800
Speaker 2: They got their game coming up against Clemson. Dabos Sweeney

752
00:36:12,840 --> 00:36:15,640
Speaker 2: I think has finally got things in order again. They

753
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:18,279
Speaker 2: have a veteran quarterback in Club Nick. They've got a

754
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:20,920
Speaker 2: really good team. We got much more college football to

755
00:36:20,960 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 2: get to, but we also have to look ahead to

756
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:24,839
Speaker 2: the week in the NFL. We're gonna break it down

757
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:27,160
Speaker 2: for you. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

758
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:35,239
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio Steve Harmony from

759
00:36:35,280 --> 00:36:39,400
Speaker 1: salam Here, Fox Sports Saturday, coming in live from the

760
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,760
Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio studios.

761
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:45,239
Speaker 2: All right, so we got a lot of interesting Week

762
00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:50,400
Speaker 2: one matchups in the National Football League and one team

763
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,839
Speaker 2: that is not projected to have a great season but

764
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:55,280
Speaker 2: still will get a lot of attention because of everything

765
00:36:55,360 --> 00:36:57,360
Speaker 2: that has happened leading up to the start of the

766
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:02,160
Speaker 2: season is the Cleveland brown and Joe Flacco, who was

767
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:05,240
Speaker 2: sitting on the couch a couple of years ago. Great

768
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:08,680
Speaker 2: comeback story with the Browns. Kevin Stefanski found the right

769
00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:10,799
Speaker 2: guy got him into the playoffs, then he didn't look

770
00:37:10,800 --> 00:37:14,800
Speaker 2: good into the playoffs, and last year brought back Sean

771
00:37:14,880 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 2: Watson in the fl It's a mess. And then they

772
00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:20,840
Speaker 2: decide to draft two quarterbacks, one of them by the

773
00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: name of Shudoor Sanders. These are the first six games

774
00:37:24,480 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 2: of the Brown season here Ephraim home against the Bengals

775
00:37:28,719 --> 00:37:33,000
Speaker 2: at the Ravens, home against the Packers at the Lions,

776
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: home against the Vikings at Pittsburgh. So that is your

777
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:41,239
Speaker 2: first six games of the year. That is a rough,

778
00:37:41,840 --> 00:37:46,279
Speaker 2: rough stretch, which is ultimately why Kevin Stefanski, All right,

779
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:48,560
Speaker 2: can we go back to that last preseason game for

780
00:37:48,600 --> 00:37:52,560
Speaker 2: a moment here. So Stefanski announces that Joe Flack willbe

781
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,000
Speaker 2: is opening game starter, and people were just, ah, it's

782
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,520
Speaker 2: going to be a five win season. Give Shudor the

783
00:37:58,560 --> 00:38:02,520
Speaker 2: opportunity to play. Then they play that last preseason game.

784
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,680
Speaker 2: Flacco goes nine out of ten. He looked fine, and

785
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,040
Speaker 2: then they bring in Dylan Gabriel. He looked pretty good,

786
00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:14,359
Speaker 2: and then Shador Sanders looks awful. Yes, so bad that

787
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 2: they put in Tyler Huntley for the final drive of

788
00:38:17,160 --> 00:38:20,399
Speaker 2: the game, a guy that obviously was immediately released because

789
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:22,799
Speaker 2: he was only picked up after Kenny Pickett I went

790
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 2: down with an injury. So there was this theory that

791
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:30,320
Speaker 2: Kevin Stefanski to prove to everybody out there that No,

792
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,640
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders is not ready to be a Week one

793
00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,360
Speaker 2: starter in the National Football League. I'll show you why

794
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:42,200
Speaker 2: purposely put him in a position to look terrible for

795
00:38:42,280 --> 00:38:45,080
Speaker 2: everybody to watch. So I want to I want to

796
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:49,760
Speaker 2: get a fresh, fresh thought from you on two things.

797
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 2: One do you buy into the conspiracy theory that we

798
00:38:53,960 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 2: saw in Week three of the preseason the Browns? And

799
00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 2: then the second part of it is how long do

800
00:39:00,239 --> 00:39:03,120
Speaker 2: you expect Joe Flacco to be the starting quarterback of

801
00:39:03,160 --> 00:39:03,960
Speaker 2: the Cleveland Browns?

802
00:39:03,960 --> 00:39:04,279
Speaker 3: All right?

803
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 4: On the first one, No, I don't buy into the

804
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:11,920
Speaker 4: conspiracy theory because as a fifth round draft pick in

805
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,400
Speaker 4: the final preseason game, you're playing with the guys who

806
00:39:15,440 --> 00:39:17,600
Speaker 4: are trying to make the team. That's just it. You

807
00:39:17,640 --> 00:39:21,440
Speaker 4: don't get a starting offensive line, you don't get it.

808
00:39:21,560 --> 00:39:24,399
Speaker 4: Dylan Gabriel didn't have the starting offensive line out there

809
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,719
Speaker 4: with him, are the starting receivers or anybody like that.

810
00:39:28,200 --> 00:39:31,520
Speaker 4: They both played with guys try our vying for position.

811
00:39:31,719 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 4: On the team. How you handle that? What I saw

812
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:38,120
Speaker 4: from Shadour was some of the same criticisms that had

813
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:39,240
Speaker 4: for him when he was at Colorado.

814
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 3: He hold on him to the ball to.

815
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:46,600
Speaker 4: Long, and he's not athletic enough to escape a rush

816
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:51,040
Speaker 4: turning his shoulders to the opposite goal goal post. And

817
00:39:51,520 --> 00:39:53,920
Speaker 4: he did it and got away with it in college

818
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:57,640
Speaker 4: at Colorado, But in the NFL, even those guys who

819
00:39:57,640 --> 00:40:00,600
Speaker 4: were chasing them, some of them don't have have jobs

820
00:40:00,680 --> 00:40:03,320
Speaker 4: right now, so people have to keep that in context.

821
00:40:03,719 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 4: Those guys were vying for a roster spot as well.

822
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:11,440
Speaker 4: If you can't manage to get the slide up in

823
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:14,400
Speaker 4: the pocket and get the ball off against third and

824
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:21,480
Speaker 4: fourth string defensive lineman opening day against Trey Hendrickson, and

825
00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:24,920
Speaker 4: that defense is not gonna go well for you. So

826
00:40:25,120 --> 00:40:29,440
Speaker 4: for me, they took him out of the two minute

827
00:40:29,480 --> 00:40:32,239
Speaker 4: drive to preserve his health because a couple of those

828
00:40:32,280 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 4: sacks he took looked like they could have been serious injuries,

829
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 4: and they knew they were gonna cut Huntly in twelve hours,

830
00:40:39,960 --> 00:40:43,799
Speaker 4: so they wanted to take that pressure and that possible

831
00:40:45,080 --> 00:40:49,400
Speaker 4: injury to Shadure off the table to allow him to

832
00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: continue to progress. As a you know, on the scout

833
00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:55,000
Speaker 4: team and during the year.

834
00:40:55,320 --> 00:40:57,799
Speaker 2: Joe Flacco looking into the schedule, like how about three

835
00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 2: straight games against the NFC North, about that Packers at

836
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:01,920
Speaker 2: Lions Vikings.

837
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:06,000
Speaker 4: I can see him being done at the Vikings. Somebody

838
00:41:06,040 --> 00:41:08,880
Speaker 4: else starting at you know, at home against the Vikings.

839
00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, right back on that couch is where he's going

840
00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:13,240
Speaker 2: to be. We got much more coming up about the NFL.

841
00:41:13,320 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 2: This is Fox Sports Saturday.

842
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:21,520
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio rolling along on this.

843
00:41:21,600 --> 00:41:26,040
Speaker 2: First full weekend of college football. This is Fox Sports Saturday,

844
00:41:26,080 --> 00:41:30,560
Speaker 2: and we are broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

845
00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:33,799
Speaker 2: You know, I was a couple of years ago when

846
00:41:33,840 --> 00:41:37,040
Speaker 2: I realized that we suddenly have a bye week in

847
00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 2: the NFL between the end of the preseason and the

848
00:41:39,400 --> 00:41:40,440
Speaker 2: start of the regular season.

849
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,839
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, when I was like.

850
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:45,359
Speaker 2: Did I miss something? Did there's like a bye week?

851
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 5: Now?

852
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 4: When they went to three games they just preseason games.

853
00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:50,719
Speaker 4: It was just a natural buy.

854
00:41:51,040 --> 00:41:54,600
Speaker 2: But it gives college football the full spotlight this weekend,

855
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:57,040
Speaker 2: and we do have some marquee games looking forward to.

856
00:41:57,040 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 2: This game coming up here going to kick off shortly

857
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,760
Speaker 2: between LSU and Clemson. So it does give us really

858
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,560
Speaker 2: a spotlight here on college football. But here's the thing

859
00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:09,400
Speaker 2: about what we're watching right now. As Alabama continues to

860
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 2: trail Florida State thirty one to seventeen, and again this

861
00:42:12,600 --> 00:42:15,399
Speaker 2: is a road game. And then you got you know,

862
00:42:15,480 --> 00:42:18,960
Speaker 2: Texas losing their game today on the road against Ohio State.

863
00:42:19,400 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 2: It's a different dynamic now, Ephraim, because you know, losing

864
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:25,000
Speaker 2: a game week one doesn't mean you can't be in

865
00:42:25,040 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 2: the playoffs at the end. We saw what happened in

866
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 2: Ohio State. They lost the last game. Think about it.

867
00:42:29,560 --> 00:42:32,640
Speaker 2: They lose to Michigan, who was what a three four

868
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:36,719
Speaker 2: touchdown underdog, did not even play in the Big Ten

869
00:42:36,880 --> 00:42:40,319
Speaker 2: championship game, and yet they were able to have enough

870
00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 2: on their resume to get a wild card, so to speak,

871
00:42:43,640 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: into the College football playoff. They won on a roll.

872
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 2: Next thing, you know, you win a national championship and

873
00:42:48,640 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 2: people they shouldn't have been there. I'm like, wait a second.

874
00:42:52,920 --> 00:42:57,680
Speaker 2: In all professional sports, how often does the actual best

875
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 2: team in the regular season end up winning the champion?

876
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:04,080
Speaker 2: And shit, it doesn't happen all that often. I mean

877
00:43:04,239 --> 00:43:06,600
Speaker 2: more often than I mean. You look at the Giants,

878
00:43:06,680 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: couple of Super Bowls and Tom Coughlin, I mean, how

879
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,520
Speaker 2: many times would they beat the Patriots? They beat the

880
00:43:11,520 --> 00:43:14,759
Speaker 2: Patriots twice. If the Patriots and the Giants played, you know,

881
00:43:15,080 --> 00:43:18,600
Speaker 2: ten times in those years, Giants won what once twice?

882
00:43:18,840 --> 00:43:20,400
Speaker 2: It just so happened they won the biggest game in

883
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,239
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. So at the end of the year

884
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,719
Speaker 2: you could say, well, they were the best because they

885
00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,759
Speaker 2: won the playoffs. All right, Well that's what we have

886
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:29,560
Speaker 2: now in college football. Oh Lsday wasn't the best team

887
00:43:29,640 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: last year. They lost to Michigan, but they were at

888
00:43:32,000 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 2: the end of the year. They won all the games

889
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,800
Speaker 2: ahead of them, and they won the playoff, the playoff

890
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:42,800
Speaker 2: one year under the playoff. Do you like the format

891
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:45,440
Speaker 2: of playoff? They are going to change the seating because

892
00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,359
Speaker 2: that didn't make sense a year ago. And that's why

893
00:43:47,400 --> 00:43:49,839
Speaker 2: Boise was a three seed. Arizona State at four seed.

894
00:43:50,040 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: Now they're going to redo that. Are you happy with

895
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 2: twelve teams? Is it too many? Too few? How would

896
00:43:56,520 --> 00:44:00,560
Speaker 2: he from Salaam put together his college football playoff?

897
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:05,160
Speaker 4: At first, when they went from four to twelve, I

898
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,080
Speaker 4: thought it was a bit excessive. I thought eight was

899
00:44:08,080 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 4: a sweet spot, right, And you can even have the

900
00:44:11,960 --> 00:44:16,000
Speaker 4: top two seeds have a bye, right, and then carry on.

901
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:22,600
Speaker 4: I thought there weren't twelve teams at any given moment

902
00:44:22,760 --> 00:44:28,959
Speaker 4: in FBS to challenge for the national.

903
00:44:28,880 --> 00:44:32,280
Speaker 2: So you weren't excited about SMU or Indiana.

904
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:37,760
Speaker 3: It just Tennessee. It just felt a little bit watered down.

905
00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:43,239
Speaker 3: Right now. With that said, a lot of those first.

906
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 4: Round games were blowouts, and you know, hard to watch it.

907
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,320
Speaker 4: And then you know, as you kept moving forward and

908
00:44:50,400 --> 00:44:52,720
Speaker 4: kept advancing, the rubbers started meeting the road and things

909
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:56,320
Speaker 4: like that. I'm okay with the twelve teams. Now there's

910
00:44:56,480 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 4: talk about expanding it to more. Don't do that for

911
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:00,719
Speaker 4: a second.

912
00:45:00,920 --> 00:45:03,400
Speaker 2: H Here's the one problem I have with it the bye.

913
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:07,880
Speaker 2: I predicted correctly that all four teams of the bye,

914
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,960
Speaker 2: including number one Oregon, we're gonna lose killed it. I

915
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: mean they look flat. I mean that first half of

916
00:45:15,160 --> 00:45:18,680
Speaker 2: that Oregon Ohio State game. How flat that Oregon looks.

917
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:20,799
Speaker 2: They look like a team that oh that's right. They

918
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 2: hadn't played in overall month, playing a team that had

919
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,960
Speaker 2: just played what ten days before a week before. So

920
00:45:26,520 --> 00:45:28,879
Speaker 2: that's the thing. If you're gonna go either you go

921
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:34,600
Speaker 2: eight or you go sixteen. Byes in college are not

922
00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,040
Speaker 2: the same as byes in.

923
00:45:36,040 --> 00:45:38,279
Speaker 3: Professional No, No, not at all, not at all.

924
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:42,200
Speaker 4: And you got to just remember there's so much more

925
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:46,040
Speaker 4: to being a college athlete than just the sport aspect

926
00:45:46,160 --> 00:45:49,880
Speaker 4: of it. There's so much more responsibility that they have

927
00:45:50,120 --> 00:45:54,160
Speaker 4: that they're enduring, and so the longer you draw out

928
00:45:54,200 --> 00:45:57,759
Speaker 4: the season for them, the tougher it is in other

929
00:45:57,840 --> 00:46:02,120
Speaker 4: aspects of just being a college student. And so I'm

930
00:46:02,160 --> 00:46:07,840
Speaker 4: looking at the top twenty five now and as it stands, Texas,

931
00:46:07,840 --> 00:46:12,960
Speaker 4: Penn State, Ohio State, Clemson, Georgia, Notre Dame, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, Miami,

932
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:18,279
Speaker 4: Arizona State in Illinois would be in the College Championship

933
00:46:18,560 --> 00:46:19,840
Speaker 4: Ship Series.

934
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:21,480
Speaker 3: Right now, they've been the playoffs.

935
00:46:21,920 --> 00:46:26,920
Speaker 4: Now we know that's going to change dramatically, but I

936
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:29,839
Speaker 4: can pick four teams or right, let me ask you this,

937
00:46:29,960 --> 00:46:33,399
Speaker 4: what four teams do you see in this top twelve now?

938
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:36,480
Speaker 2: Right now? The top four teams I felt going into

939
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:41,240
Speaker 2: the year were Texas, Penn State, Clemson, Ohio State. Okay,

940
00:46:41,280 --> 00:46:43,960
Speaker 2: those are the four teams I felt going into the year.

941
00:46:44,160 --> 00:46:47,360
Speaker 2: And of course, again, hey, you know, Texas looked awful today.

942
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:49,080
Speaker 2: Ohio State, by the way, didn't look like great.

943
00:46:49,080 --> 00:46:52,400
Speaker 3: Now, let's just they didn't look awful.

944
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: Well, defensively they look so and so you have to.

945
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,279
Speaker 4: Keep that in context when you're talking about it, Like

946
00:46:58,320 --> 00:47:01,400
Speaker 4: if they if the score was fifty six to twelve,

947
00:47:02,080 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 4: then we'd be like, they looked awful. The fact that

948
00:47:04,760 --> 00:47:07,719
Speaker 4: that defense was able to go on the road and

949
00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 4: keep them in the game was unbelievable, tough task to do.

950
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:16,759
Speaker 4: Both teams had things that they were trying to figure out. Now,

951
00:47:16,840 --> 00:47:20,480
Speaker 4: will arch Manning be able to learn from this pick

952
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,480
Speaker 4: himself up and carry the offense because they're gonna have

953
00:47:23,520 --> 00:47:27,160
Speaker 4: to score points. They're gonna need to score points. They'll

954
00:47:27,200 --> 00:47:30,520
Speaker 4: still probably be in the top five and losing to

955
00:47:30,600 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 4: number three, the number three seed. What do you do

956
00:47:33,640 --> 00:47:36,759
Speaker 4: from here on out? He just looked very tentative. I

957
00:47:36,760 --> 00:47:38,439
Speaker 4: don't know if it was a play calling. I don't

958
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:41,359
Speaker 4: know if it was the atmosphere. They had some pre

959
00:47:41,440 --> 00:47:44,440
Speaker 4: snap penalties on offense. I know it's hard to play

960
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,920
Speaker 4: in the horseshoe, all of those things. He needed to

961
00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:52,200
Speaker 4: get that out of his system. Talking to arch Manning.

962
00:47:52,040 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 2: And I think as well, getting this game out of

963
00:47:55,040 --> 00:47:58,120
Speaker 2: the way first. Oh yeah, it's a big plus huge.

964
00:47:58,960 --> 00:48:02,239
Speaker 2: This this is again. You know, there's not that sense

965
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:06,400
Speaker 2: of urgency anymore losing these first games. You know, by

966
00:48:06,440 --> 00:48:09,560
Speaker 2: the way, Alabama's quarterback Tys Simpson is exactly the same.

967
00:48:09,600 --> 00:48:11,840
Speaker 2: He was a five star recruit. He's been in the

968
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:14,959
Speaker 2: program for three years, just sort of sitting around winning

969
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,759
Speaker 2: for his opportunity to be the starting quarterback. He is

970
00:48:17,800 --> 00:48:21,120
Speaker 2: struggling today against Florida State would help with Alabama had

971
00:48:21,120 --> 00:48:23,000
Speaker 2: a little bit of a running game going on right now.

972
00:48:23,200 --> 00:48:26,840
Speaker 2: But even if Alabama loses this game, it doesn't really matter.

973
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,000
Speaker 4: It doesn't And and case in point, not to get

974
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 4: too far away from Texas when you look at their

975
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:37,120
Speaker 4: next three games. San Jose State at.

976
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:43,520
Speaker 2: Home, Spartans uteb Yes at homes, Sam Houston Hello at home.

977
00:48:43,719 --> 00:48:47,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, so we're going to be able to say, right,

978
00:48:47,800 --> 00:48:51,279
Speaker 4: We're going to be able to tell real soon. If

979
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:55,759
Speaker 4: arch Manning is who everyone says he is, right with

980
00:48:55,880 --> 00:49:00,920
Speaker 4: those three games, he should be putting up astronomical numbers.

981
00:49:01,080 --> 00:49:05,359
Speaker 4: The offense should find a rhythm. The defense is already

982
00:49:05,680 --> 00:49:08,799
Speaker 4: playing at that level that they need to play at

983
00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:13,000
Speaker 4: all year. So these next those next three games, Santos State,

984
00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:16,560
Speaker 4: UTIP and Sam Houston are going to tell us everything

985
00:49:16,600 --> 00:49:20,040
Speaker 4: we need to know about arch Manning and his maturation

986
00:49:20,160 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 4: moving forward this season.

987
00:49:22,680 --> 00:49:27,759
Speaker 2: I dare say Sark is probably thinking right now, I'm

988
00:49:27,800 --> 00:49:30,600
Speaker 2: glad we got this out of the way quick. Got

989
00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:34,040
Speaker 2: that first. L You know, if you're suddenly ten and oh,

990
00:49:34,239 --> 00:49:36,440
Speaker 2: eleven and zero, you know the pressure builds. Right, you're

991
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,919
Speaker 2: number one, So you're sitting preseason number one. I don't

992
00:49:39,920 --> 00:49:42,359
Speaker 2: even know why there's a preseason poll. It never makes

993
00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: any sense, but they do it anyway. So we got

994
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:46,839
Speaker 2: that out of the way. Texas, by the way, had

995
00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,000
Speaker 2: never been preseason number one ever preseason AP poll started

996
00:49:50,040 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 2: way back in nineteen fifty. Had never been number one preseason.

997
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:57,680
Speaker 2: So you get that out of the way. No harm done, really,

998
00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,400
Speaker 2: no harm done. I mean we're going to be talking

999
00:50:00,400 --> 00:50:03,360
Speaker 2: about it. Oh and then the social media was blowing

1000
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,719
Speaker 2: up with arch Manning, you know, blah blah blah blah blah.

1001
00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,560
Speaker 2: And it really doesn't have any effect on the rest

1002
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:10,280
Speaker 2: of this season.

1003
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:13,600
Speaker 4: No, No, it's this is actually great because they'll be

1004
00:50:14,160 --> 00:50:19,839
Speaker 4: they'll hit a stride because their next couple games are

1005
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:26,960
Speaker 4: tough ones at Florida, Yeah, right, the Red River rivalry Oklahoma,

1006
00:50:27,520 --> 00:50:32,680
Speaker 4: and so it's it's he should be clicking, and that

1007
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:36,200
Speaker 4: offense should be clicking on all cylinders there as they

1008
00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:38,360
Speaker 4: go into the second half of.

1009
00:50:38,360 --> 00:50:41,000
Speaker 2: The season and get into their SEC schedule.

1010
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 4: And they'll and and and look, we'll we'll re like

1011
00:50:43,400 --> 00:50:47,440
Speaker 4: I said, we'll revisit this conversation in December.

1012
00:50:47,040 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: Well and again we were just reminded again we talked

1013
00:50:49,680 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 2: about early losses. Ohio State had the ultimate late season loss,

1014
00:50:55,400 --> 00:50:59,400
Speaker 2: the ultimate late season loss to their rival Michigan, a

1015
00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 2: vastly inferior Michigan team, and they still got a spot

1016
00:51:03,480 --> 00:51:05,839
Speaker 2: in the playoff and made the most of it. So

1017
00:51:05,920 --> 00:51:08,479
Speaker 2: the whole dynamic college football has definitely changed.

1018
00:51:08,520 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 4: And I think that's good because that that lose now,

1019
00:51:12,040 --> 00:51:16,000
Speaker 4: that lose right now is a detriment right It doesn't

1020
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 4: allow any wiggle room because there's only four spots up

1021
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:22,399
Speaker 4: now you can like. What I don't want to see though,

1022
00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:24,200
Speaker 4: is any three loss teams.

1023
00:51:24,719 --> 00:51:25,759
Speaker 2: I don't think that's what I have them.

1024
00:51:26,040 --> 00:51:26,400
Speaker 3: Two.

1025
00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:29,160
Speaker 2: Do you want more expansion though, I mean.

1026
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:31,480
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no no no. They

1027
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:35,480
Speaker 3: want twenty four teams four, not twenty four teams in

1028
00:51:35,520 --> 00:51:35,879
Speaker 3: the nation.

1029
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,520
Speaker 2: Our buddy Rich Rnberger won sixty four, just like they

1030
00:51:38,560 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 2: have in college.

1031
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 4: That's the same thing they played, well, they got the idea,

1032
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 4: played one a week.

1033
00:51:44,239 --> 00:51:47,960
Speaker 2: And for football, would you obviously if you go beyond sixteen,

1034
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 2: you eliminate the conference championship games.

1035
00:51:51,239 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, but no, you want to have the conference championship.

1036
00:51:54,440 --> 00:51:57,600
Speaker 2: Games and to be an automatic qualifier to get in.

1037
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:00,359
Speaker 2: You're not seated to see that was a mistake made

1038
00:52:00,400 --> 00:52:04,920
Speaker 2: a year ago where the top four rank conference champions

1039
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,160
Speaker 2: would be the top four seeds. That will not be

1040
00:52:07,239 --> 00:52:10,319
Speaker 2: the case this year. The seeding will not allow that.

1041
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,960
Speaker 2: So I look at it. I'm just such enough for

1042
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:15,960
Speaker 2: college football. The thing is, I don't want to take

1043
00:52:15,960 --> 00:52:19,320
Speaker 2: away from all the tradition, because the tradition makes trying

1044
00:52:19,360 --> 00:52:22,120
Speaker 2: to burn it down, and then then the argument for

1045
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:25,640
Speaker 2: people to say, well you make new traditions. No, you

1046
00:52:25,640 --> 00:52:27,239
Speaker 2: don't have to get rid of all. That's why I

1047
00:52:27,280 --> 00:52:30,040
Speaker 2: get so irked when I hear about Lincoln Riley saying, yeah,

1048
00:52:30,040 --> 00:52:31,880
Speaker 2: we need to get Notre Dame off a schedule. Man,

1049
00:52:31,920 --> 00:52:33,799
Speaker 2: We're already playing a Big ten schedule. We don't need

1050
00:52:33,840 --> 00:52:37,080
Speaker 2: Notre Dame. I'm like, don't do that, just be better

1051
00:52:37,560 --> 00:52:40,360
Speaker 2: beat Notre Dame. Then you can keep them on your schedule,

1052
00:52:40,360 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 2: all right. Coming up on the other side, we go

1053
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:45,000
Speaker 2: back to the NFL, and we got a lot of

1054
00:52:45,080 --> 00:52:48,080
Speaker 2: quarterbacks making debuts, but none bigger than this guy.

1055
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:49,200

Speaker 2: if you're broadcast in the game, you would get, you know,

1069
00:53:32,239 --> 00:53:34,840
Speaker 2: pretty good angles for your camera.

1070
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,399
Speaker 3: Old cameras are end zone kit.

1071
00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:39,839
Speaker 2: It's an aerial camera that might as well be shot

1072
00:53:39,880 --> 00:53:43,719
Speaker 2: from the moon. I mean, you can't you can't tell

1073
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:48,160
Speaker 2: you can't. Look at they pulled back. Look at this

1074
00:53:48,880 --> 00:53:51,200
Speaker 2: score bug, he's kind of blocking the bottom of the play.

1075
00:53:51,280 --> 00:53:53,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't even the bottom half.

1076
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:57,120
Speaker 2: That is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. Wow, they're

1077
00:53:57,120 --> 00:53:58,719
Speaker 2: gonna have to work out a few things. By the way,

1078
00:53:58,719 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: it's over, Florida State has easily handled Alabama thirty one

1079
00:54:03,080 --> 00:54:05,680
Speaker 2: to seventeen. Mike Norville, coming off a two to ten

1080
00:54:05,880 --> 00:54:10,359
Speaker 2: season for Florida Stay, desperately needed that one. And as

1081
00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:13,520
Speaker 2: far as Calen de wor is concerned, Wow, that's his

1082
00:54:13,600 --> 00:54:16,080
Speaker 2: fifth loss in fourteen games as the head coach at

1083
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:21,480
Speaker 2: Alabama and hot seat, hot seat, hot seat. We'll see

1084
00:54:21,480 --> 00:54:25,160
Speaker 2: where they go from here. All right. So everyone's like, Oh,

1085
00:54:25,239 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 2: I know which quarterback you want to talk about, and

1086
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 2: his big debut is starting quarterback? You want to talk

1087
00:54:29,760 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 2: about Daniel Jones with a cult. No it's not Daniel

1088
00:54:33,800 --> 00:54:37,680
Speaker 2: Jones kills. Yeah, thank you. That's going to be a

1089
00:54:37,680 --> 00:54:39,040
Speaker 2: bad team, that's going to be a bad year.

1090
00:54:39,200 --> 00:54:39,439
Speaker 5: Sure.

1091
00:54:40,880 --> 00:54:44,399
Speaker 2: No, I'm talking about the big game coming up where, yes,

1092
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,719
Speaker 2: a legendary quarterback is going to go up against his

1093
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,880
Speaker 2: former team, Aaron Rodgers and the Pittsburgh Steelers taking on

1094
00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: the new York Jets. So we're finally here week one

1095
00:54:55,280 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers, and I'll preface this by saying this ephrom

1096
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:04,120
Speaker 2: you know, predicting that this will be this will be

1097
00:55:04,160 --> 00:55:07,000
Speaker 2: the first losing season of Mike Tomlin's coaching career. Oh,

1098
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,040
Speaker 2: he's never had a losing season. He's had five hundred seasons,

1099
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,600
Speaker 2: but he's never had a losing season. And think about

1100
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:15,480
Speaker 2: they've been a playoff team. They're a playoff team with

1101
00:55:15,640 --> 00:55:19,000
Speaker 2: Kenny Piggotty quarterback. They were a playoff team, you know,

1102
00:55:19,239 --> 00:55:23,439
Speaker 2: rotating quarterbacks. A year ago. They were a playoff team

1103
00:55:23,440 --> 00:55:26,280
Speaker 2: when Ben Roethlisberger could no longer throw the ball fifteen

1104
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:30,040
Speaker 2: yards down the field. Aaron Rodgers started all seventeen games

1105
00:55:30,040 --> 00:55:33,040
Speaker 2: for the Jets last year. His numbers were not terrible. No,

1106
00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,759
Speaker 2: they weren't his MVP Diet numbers in Green Bay. But

1107
00:55:35,840 --> 00:55:38,520
Speaker 2: if we have what twenty eight touchdowns eleven picks, still

1108
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:40,960
Speaker 2: completing a high percentage pass. So you can't tell me

1109
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,080
Speaker 2: that he's not a better quarterback than what they've had

1110
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:48,160
Speaker 2: over the last three or four years. So how are

1111
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:52,120
Speaker 2: they going to be worse? And then I say that,

1112
00:55:52,360 --> 00:55:55,160
Speaker 2: and then I think, all right, Well, throwing the football

1113
00:55:55,239 --> 00:55:58,359
Speaker 2: is only part of it. It's also going into that

1114
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,200
Speaker 2: locker room and commanding respect and being a leader, and

1115
00:56:02,280 --> 00:56:06,560
Speaker 2: by definitional leader is some of that inspires others to follow.

1116
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:10,759
Speaker 2: Can Aaron Rodgers be that leader for the Pittsburgh Well?

1117
00:56:10,840 --> 00:56:11,439
Speaker 3: I think it can.

1118
00:56:11,480 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 4: And if you look at their schedule, I mean, if

1119
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,760
Speaker 4: you don't think the Steelers, if you think Mike Tomlin

1120
00:56:17,920 --> 00:56:21,560
Speaker 4: this year is going to have his first losing season

1121
00:56:21,640 --> 00:56:30,200
Speaker 4: ever with the Jets, the Seahawks, the Patriots, the Vikings,

1122
00:56:31,280 --> 00:56:36,160
Speaker 4: and the Browns as their first five games. That's crazy talk.

1123
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:41,240
Speaker 4: Just think about those first five games the Jets. Okay,

1124
00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:45,560
Speaker 4: are we expecting the Jets to come out and the

1125
00:56:45,640 --> 00:56:48,959
Speaker 4: Jets don't have a quarterback? So we're expecting the Jets

1126
00:56:49,000 --> 00:56:50,720
Speaker 4: to come out and beat the Steelers?

1127
00:56:50,760 --> 00:56:51,040
Speaker 5: All right?

1128
00:56:51,239 --> 00:56:55,640
Speaker 2: I want to get into your great NFL career because

1129
00:56:55,680 --> 00:56:58,400
Speaker 2: you play, and we've had this discussion many times. You've played.

1130
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:01,799
Speaker 2: You played with a lot of quarterbacks. Yeah, and he

1131
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:05,000
Speaker 2: played with some good ones and some not so good ones.

1132
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,920
Speaker 2: But imagine you're a veteran and in walks Aaron Rodgers,

1133
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:13,560
Speaker 2: how do you handle that situation? Because he comes with

1134
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,200
Speaker 2: a lot of notoriety, he's had a first ballot Hall

1135
00:57:16,240 --> 00:57:19,440
Speaker 2: of Fame career on the field, do you have questions

1136
00:57:19,480 --> 00:57:23,520
Speaker 2: for him? How exactly as a veteran do you take

1137
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 2: on And again, you're not like some you know, bottom

1138
00:57:27,120 --> 00:57:29,920
Speaker 2: feed or team. I mean, you're a playoff team, you know,

1139
00:57:30,080 --> 00:57:32,400
Speaker 2: and so obviously what you're hoping he's going to take

1140
00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,360
Speaker 2: you in the next level. But do you engage with

1141
00:57:35,400 --> 00:57:38,200
Speaker 2: Aaron Rodgers? Do you step back? How exactly do you

1142
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:41,040
Speaker 2: handle that if you're a veteran on that Pittsburgh.

1143
00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:42,880
Speaker 4: Steel especially if you're on the offensive side of the boy,

1144
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,680
Speaker 4: of course you engage. He's now the leader in the

1145
00:57:45,720 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 4: face of the franchise offensively, right, So no, it's it's

1146
00:57:49,880 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 4: a thank you. We finally got a quarterback who's had

1147
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:59,680
Speaker 4: some similance of success, who's been what four time.

1148
00:57:59,560 --> 00:58:02,600
Speaker 3: League VP, super Bowl champion.

1149
00:58:04,560 --> 00:58:07,680
Speaker 4: The experiment the dual quarterbacks we had last year, it

1150
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:11,840
Speaker 4: worked until it didn't work. So you were I would

1151
00:58:11,880 --> 00:58:16,560
Speaker 4: expect to be in a better positions, especially given the

1152
00:58:16,600 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 4: first five games that I just rattled off to you.

1153
00:58:22,640 --> 00:58:27,880
Speaker 4: You're going against justin fields that you didn't want. You're

1154
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:31,640
Speaker 4: going against Sam Donald.

1155
00:58:31,360 --> 00:58:33,800
Speaker 2: That has Yeah, we don't know if the Sam Donald right,

1156
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:34,160
Speaker 2: we don't know.

1157
00:58:35,600 --> 00:58:39,800
Speaker 3: We don't know that guy. You're going against Drake May,

1158
00:58:40,200 --> 00:58:43,240
Speaker 3: Drake May, Yes, and then you're going against j. J.

1159
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:51,880
Speaker 3: McCarthy and then Joe Flacco. This is perfect. Yes, so

1160
00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,200
Speaker 3: I'm optimistic.

1161
00:58:53,400 --> 00:58:58,240
Speaker 4: Offensively, I'm optimistic, and yes, the league gave them some cupcakes.

1162
00:58:58,360 --> 00:59:00,720
Speaker 2: Think think about the we were going to that Cleveland

1163
00:59:00,720 --> 00:59:04,240
Speaker 2: Brown schedule murderers role for the first six games. This

1164
00:59:04,400 --> 00:59:07,480
Speaker 2: is not And then they hand Aaron Rodgers and the

1165
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:09,960
Speaker 2: Steelers a launching pad.

1166
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:14,720
Speaker 4: And then you go to the Bengals. That's a division, right,

1167
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:17,960
Speaker 4: they don't have a defense. They don't have a defense.

1168
00:59:18,000 --> 00:59:20,160
Speaker 4: Now that might be a shootout. You have to put

1169
00:59:20,200 --> 00:59:25,760
Speaker 4: up some points. Then the Packers come to you. I

1170
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:28,760
Speaker 4: just talked about I'm not sure who Jordan Love is.

1171
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,680
Speaker 2: Why why do you say that about Jordan Love.

1172
00:59:31,560 --> 00:59:33,400
Speaker 3: Because he hasn't done anything to me.

1173
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:35,520
Speaker 2: Two years ago he sort of broke out and then

1174
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:38,240
Speaker 2: predictably he took a little bit of a step back.

1175
00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:40,760
Speaker 3: Now, just be mindful. Two years ago he broke out

1176
00:59:40,840 --> 00:59:42,000
Speaker 3: the second.

1177
00:59:41,760 --> 00:59:44,440
Speaker 2: Half, well, that was the thing that he thought based

1178
00:59:44,440 --> 00:59:46,920
Speaker 2: on that second half, and then he ran into a

1179
00:59:47,040 --> 00:59:49,200
Speaker 2: huge playoff game against the Cowboys and.

1180
00:59:49,160 --> 00:59:52,480
Speaker 3: He ran into a setback. So that's exactly why.

1181
00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,600
Speaker 4: If he was on the same trajectory at the second

1182
00:59:56,680 --> 01:00:01,080
Speaker 4: half of that first year starting his second year, we

1183
01:00:01,080 --> 01:00:02,480
Speaker 4: wouldn't be having this conversation.

1184
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 2: They still made it to the playoffs.

1185
01:00:04,360 --> 01:00:05,920
Speaker 3: They still made it to the playoffs.

1186
01:00:06,600 --> 01:00:10,800
Speaker 4: I'm not looking at the Green Bay Packers like, man,

1187
01:00:10,800 --> 01:00:14,600
Speaker 4: we got to prepare for Jordan Love. I'm not there

1188
01:00:14,880 --> 01:00:18,200
Speaker 4: because I haven't seen enough. And there's some young quarterbacks

1189
01:00:18,600 --> 01:00:20,720
Speaker 4: like I'm a fan of Justin Herbert.

1190
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,080
Speaker 2: Right, they'll stop right there, all right, Okay, I'm a

1191
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: fan of Jim Harbaugh. Okay, Okay, his record speaks for himself.

1192
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:29,720
Speaker 2: The fact that he got that team to the playoffs

1193
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,480
Speaker 2: a year ago was a miracle. And then, of course

1194
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:35,280
Speaker 2: you had your quarterback throw four picks against the Houston

1195
01:00:35,320 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 2: Texas through all year, the entire year.

1196
01:00:38,240 --> 01:00:41,080
Speaker 4: It happens. But what I will say is, you know,

1197
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:43,320
Speaker 4: you got a quarterback that can make every throw. You

1198
01:00:43,360 --> 01:00:46,680
Speaker 4: have a quarterback on pace to have more yards at

1199
01:00:46,680 --> 01:00:49,280
Speaker 4: this point in his career than any other quarterback in

1200
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:52,560
Speaker 4: league history. Do you feel the same way about Jordan Love?

1201
01:00:54,560 --> 01:00:56,080
Speaker 4: Do you feel the same way about Jordan Love?

1202
01:00:56,120 --> 01:01:00,520
Speaker 2: But I mean Justin Herbert, he's beginning to why, Phillip Rivers.

1203
01:01:00,800 --> 01:01:03,919
Speaker 4: Tell me why, though, give me his first four Tell

1204
01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:07,200
Speaker 4: me why? And you know why, because we've talked excessively

1205
01:01:07,400 --> 01:01:09,920
Speaker 4: about this coach that was.

1206
01:01:10,240 --> 01:01:12,560
Speaker 2: Justin Herber's going, well, I know, and because he wants

1207
01:01:12,600 --> 01:01:13,680
Speaker 2: to run the ball. I get that.

1208
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:15,440
Speaker 4: I mean he was you know, I know, I'm not

1209
01:01:15,440 --> 01:01:18,480
Speaker 4: talking about harball. I'm talking about.

1210
01:01:18,320 --> 01:01:21,000
Speaker 2: Oh Brandon Staley. Come on now, okay, but what did

1211
01:01:21,040 --> 01:01:22,080
Speaker 2: Brandon Staley do?

1212
01:01:22,400 --> 01:01:23,080
Speaker 3: Nothing?

1213
01:01:23,240 --> 01:01:27,200
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, Brandon Staley. Basically, I'll never

1214
01:01:27,240 --> 01:01:27,840
Speaker 2: forget this game.

1215
01:01:27,840 --> 01:01:29,439
Speaker 3: We got a better camera angle. We're back.

1216
01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,439
Speaker 2: Okay, Oh, there we go. We actually can see the game. Now,

1217
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,080
Speaker 2: there you go. They actually got a camera working. Must

1218
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:37,760
Speaker 2: have been some kind of technical problem. We're talking about

1219
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:42,080
Speaker 2: this A and M game against San Antonio, so I

1220
01:01:42,160 --> 01:01:45,360
Speaker 2: took my boys. First time I went to SOFI Stadium

1221
01:01:45,480 --> 01:01:47,520
Speaker 2: was a I believe it was a Thursday night game

1222
01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:52,200
Speaker 2: between the Chargers and the Chiefs, and Brandon Staley was

1223
01:01:52,240 --> 01:01:55,479
Speaker 2: the first year coach of that year and it made

1224
01:01:55,480 --> 01:01:58,720
Speaker 2: no sense. He was trying to get his quarterback to

1225
01:01:58,800 --> 01:02:01,440
Speaker 2: make plays instead of just taking a field goal. And

1226
01:02:01,520 --> 01:02:03,680
Speaker 2: you know, going in on fourth down in his own

1227
01:02:03,840 --> 01:02:07,080
Speaker 2: territory and all this, But his idea was, I got

1228
01:02:07,080 --> 01:02:11,760
Speaker 2: this incredibly talented young quarterback, and I believe in him

1229
01:02:11,760 --> 01:02:14,200
Speaker 2: that he can make these plays happen. And I think

1230
01:02:14,200 --> 01:02:18,320
Speaker 2: he did a huge detriment to Herbert, who wasn't delivering droid.

1231
01:02:18,680 --> 01:02:20,560
Speaker 2: I mean. And so when you think of his first

1232
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,720
Speaker 2: two years, offensive player, Rookie of the year, Pro Bowl starter,

1233
01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 2: not just Pro Bowl. He was voted the Pro Bowl

1234
01:02:27,560 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 2: starting quarterback for the NFC thirty eight touchdowns that second year.

1235
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:33,800
Speaker 2: But the last couple of years his stats have regressed,

1236
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:37,680
Speaker 2: and a year ago he was almost really not part

1237
01:02:37,720 --> 01:02:41,440
Speaker 2: of it. His numbers were down considerably. Now they started,

1238
01:02:41,720 --> 01:02:44,040
Speaker 2: they didn't have a lot of receiver help or everything else.

1239
01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:47,000
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm still you're on the fence. So Jordan Love,

1240
01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,840
Speaker 2: I'm very much still on the fence on Joseph.

1241
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:51,440
Speaker 4: Would you be interested in this if I were to

1242
01:02:51,520 --> 01:02:54,640
Speaker 4: tell you, okay, and twenty twenty was his first year, Yes,

1243
01:02:54,760 --> 01:03:00,280
Speaker 4: rookie quarterback, forty three hundred yards, thirty one touchdowns, right reception,

1244
01:03:00,960 --> 01:03:01,560
Speaker 4: would you want that?

1245
01:03:01,880 --> 01:03:02,440
Speaker 2: Absolutely?

1246
01:03:02,480 --> 01:03:05,520
Speaker 3: Okay? Second second year, second year five thousand.

1247
01:03:05,240 --> 01:03:07,560
Speaker 2: Yards, Yes, thirty eight touchdowns.

1248
01:03:07,080 --> 01:03:08,680
Speaker 3: Fifteen interceptions. Would you be interested in that?

1249
01:03:08,840 --> 01:03:09,400
Speaker 2: Yes? Cool?

1250
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:09,919
Speaker 3: Cool? Cool?

1251
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:10,480
Speaker 2: What happened?

1252
01:03:10,480 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 3: Fourth year?

1253
01:03:11,400 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 4: Four thousand, forty seven hundred yards, twenty five touchdown dinner?

1254
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:18,280
Speaker 3: Would you sign that?

1255
01:03:18,360 --> 01:03:20,840
Speaker 2: How about two playoffs?

1256
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 3: Would you sign up for that? Well?

1257
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:26,880
Speaker 2: I would sign up with the numbers into championships.

1258
01:03:27,560 --> 01:03:30,840
Speaker 4: You know why when in each of those years I

1259
01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:35,360
Speaker 4: just mentioned what was the problem with the whole team,

1260
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:36,439
Speaker 4: not him?

1261
01:03:36,800 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 3: What was the problem?

1262
01:03:38,040 --> 01:03:42,000
Speaker 4: You just so eloquently stated that they had a coach,

1263
01:03:42,480 --> 01:03:45,480
Speaker 4: Brandon Staley, who had no business being a head coach

1264
01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 4: being a head coach, and they stayed with him despite

1265
01:03:50,160 --> 01:03:51,840
Speaker 4: how good their quarterback was.

1266
01:03:51,880 --> 01:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Okay, so you can look back at this last year

1267
01:03:54,680 --> 01:03:58,760
Speaker 2: because remember how the season started. Harbaugh was gonna do

1268
01:03:58,920 --> 01:04:02,560
Speaker 2: Harball football, which is a run first offense, and we

1269
01:04:02,600 --> 01:04:06,120
Speaker 2: didn't see a whole lot of Herbert. Herbert's numbers were down,

1270
01:04:06,320 --> 01:04:09,200
Speaker 2: way down early in the year, and eventually he was

1271
01:04:09,200 --> 01:04:11,200
Speaker 2: starting to bring him back. So are we going to

1272
01:04:11,640 --> 01:04:14,480
Speaker 2: ever see the Herbert that we saw those first two

1273
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,880
Speaker 2: years where he's throwing for five thousand yards and thirty

1274
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:21,400
Speaker 2: five touchdowns? Does that work on a Jim Harbaught team?

1275
01:04:21,440 --> 01:04:25,600
Speaker 3: Oh? It does? But didn't they run out of receivers.

1276
01:04:24,360 --> 01:04:27,400
Speaker 2: Year, he had mcconkeye.

1277
01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,400
Speaker 4: That was the kid was, That's it, And so you

1278
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:34,240
Speaker 4: can't fault. And even with that, he's still threw for

1279
01:04:34,280 --> 01:04:38,400
Speaker 4: almost four thousand yards twenty three touchdowns in three interceptions. Ye,

1280
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 4: at a certain point, you gotta have options for the

1281
01:04:41,840 --> 01:04:44,960
Speaker 4: young man. I'm taking him over Jordan Love any day,

1282
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:47,680
Speaker 4: just for the fact that and this is what really

1283
01:04:47,840 --> 01:04:50,240
Speaker 4: ingratiated me with Justin Herbert.

1284
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:54,160
Speaker 3: His first start his rookie year came out of nowhere.

1285
01:04:54,200 --> 01:04:56,320
Speaker 2: All right. On the other side, I'm going to propose

1286
01:04:56,360 --> 01:04:58,880
Speaker 2: a trade for you, Okay, okay, and then I'm gonna

1287
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:03,720
Speaker 2: I'm anxiously your answer to that question. But first let's

1288
01:05:03,960 --> 01:05:08,240
Speaker 2: find out what is trending right now. And well, Martin,

1289
01:05:08,880 --> 01:05:13,560
Speaker 2: so sure, you see Alabama lose, you see Texas lose.

1290
01:05:13,640 --> 01:05:14,920
Speaker 3: You've done to this beautiful sport.

1291
01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:18,120
Speaker 2: None of it matters, but doesn't matter to you? What

1292
01:05:18,160 --> 01:05:18,560
Speaker 2: do you think?

1293
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:18,880
Speaker 5: I mean?

1294
01:05:18,880 --> 01:05:20,520
Speaker 7: It used to matter to me, But I watched a

1295
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:24,080
Speaker 7: team that lost to a seven and five team compete

1296
01:05:24,080 --> 01:05:26,720
Speaker 7: for a national championship last year, and another team that

1297
01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:30,480
Speaker 7: lost to it was it Eastern Southern No, Northern Illinois,

1298
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:31,320
Speaker 7: Northern Illinois.

1299
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:34,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, so those two like yeah yeah at home.

1300
01:05:34,640 --> 01:05:38,480
Speaker 7: These teams were still eligible to complete to compete.

1301
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 5: For the Texas.

1302
01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:41,280
Speaker 2: So you know what, you get bad teams that you know,

1303
01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:44,040
Speaker 2: creep into the playoffs and they might get on a roll.

1304
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:44,320
Speaker 3: Right.

1305
01:05:44,680 --> 01:05:46,800
Speaker 7: Yes, college football used to be you could be a

1306
01:05:46,800 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 7: really good team and not make the playoffs. It's it's

1307
01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:51,680
Speaker 7: like the Baseball Hall of Fame. It's like, look at

1308
01:05:51,720 --> 01:05:53,640
Speaker 7: all these great players who aren't in the Baseball Hall

1309
01:05:53,640 --> 01:05:55,920
Speaker 7: of Fame, and then you look at the NBA or

1310
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,840
Speaker 7: Pro Basketball Hall of Fame and it's like everybody's in here.

1311
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:01,440
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter anymore. So congratulations, you've ruined it.

1312
01:06:02,440 --> 01:06:06,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, but you're gonna brighten our day by telling

1313
01:06:06,120 --> 01:06:08,480
Speaker 2: us about all the things happening. I'm anxious for this

1314
01:06:08,680 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 2: LSU game USC kicking off their schedule against powerful Georgia State.

1315
01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:13,800
Speaker 2: I can't wait.

1316
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,520
Speaker 3: I am looking forward to watching this LSU Clemson game.

1317
01:06:16,600 --> 01:06:18,040
Speaker 2: Oh yes, LSU.

1318
01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,000
Speaker 7: Honestly in years past, I know they're generally more of

1319
01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,960
Speaker 7: a nine to ten win program historically than a twelve

1320
01:06:25,000 --> 01:06:27,400
Speaker 7: to thirteen win program historically, but I feel like they

1321
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:31,600
Speaker 7: scheduled these games are I've years before the playoff was

1322
01:06:31,600 --> 01:06:31,800
Speaker 7: the thing.

1323
01:06:31,800 --> 01:06:33,960
Speaker 3: I'm watching LSU go up to Wisconsin and lose.

1324
01:06:34,520 --> 01:06:37,320
Speaker 2: All I know is this, Brian Kelly's three predecessors all

1325
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:39,160
Speaker 2: won a national championship at LSU.

1326
01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:42,040
Speaker 7: They did, all of them. What about Steve Sharkisian? How's

1327
01:06:42,080 --> 01:06:45,560
Speaker 7: he doing in that in that category? Because I was

1328
01:06:45,560 --> 01:06:47,360
Speaker 7: told that last year. You know, he was, you know,

1329
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:49,560
Speaker 7: right there knocking on the door college football playoffs.

1330
01:06:49,560 --> 01:06:50,960
Speaker 2: We thought Sark was done.

1331
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:54,040
Speaker 7: No, I'm saying, well, then he came back EXAs Sark

1332
01:06:54,080 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 7: because you know he just had arch Manning waiting in

1333
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:59,600
Speaker 7: the wings. Yeah, you know he arch waited his turn. Well,

1334
01:06:59,640 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 7: his turn was today.

1335
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:01,600
Speaker 2: How'd that go?

1336
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,280
Speaker 7: Four turnover on downs, two of them in a REDGI

1337
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:08,400
Speaker 7: on eight threw a pick. Ohio State gets to win

1338
01:07:08,480 --> 01:07:12,200
Speaker 7: fourteen to seven over the number one ranked Texas Longhorns.

1339
01:07:12,200 --> 01:07:14,160
Speaker 7: Ohio State the third ranked team in the nation, and

1340
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,280
Speaker 7: Ohio State, I mean, played a pretty clean game, but

1341
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:17,000
Speaker 7: I would say.

1342
01:07:16,880 --> 01:07:19,920
Speaker 3: Offensively was not very explosive. Heis been hopeful.

1343
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:23,560
Speaker 7: Jeremiah Smith had six sketches for forty three yards. Pretty

1344
01:07:23,640 --> 01:07:26,080
Speaker 7: much everywhere else was pretty much a blowout.

1345
01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:28,360
Speaker 3: As we go through it. The other game of note.

1346
01:07:28,200 --> 01:07:32,520
Speaker 7: Florida State upsetting eighth ranked Alabama thirty one to seventeen.

1347
01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,600
Speaker 7: That much the fourth time I believe that Kaitlyn de

1348
01:07:34,680 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 7: Bor has lost as a fourteen point favorite in Alabama.

1349
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,920
Speaker 3: He's on the seat seed. It's warming up.

1350
01:07:43,360 --> 01:07:45,360
Speaker 7: Penn State with a forty six to eleven win over

1351
01:07:45,480 --> 01:07:48,040
Speaker 7: Nevada for the second ranked team in the nation, third

1352
01:07:48,160 --> 01:07:52,080
Speaker 7: ranked until just told you beat Texas Georgia forty five

1353
01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:55,400
Speaker 7: to seven over Marshall, Iowa State with a fifty five

1354
01:07:55,400 --> 01:07:57,920
Speaker 7: to seven win over South Dakota, Oregon in a fifty

1355
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,840
Speaker 7: nine to thirteen game against months Yna State, which was

1356
01:08:00,920 --> 01:08:03,760
Speaker 7: not close as the final score would suggest. Believe it

1357
01:08:03,840 --> 01:08:07,240
Speaker 7: or not, Tennessee with a forty five to twenty six

1358
01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:10,760
Speaker 7: win over Syracuse. Indiana with a thirteen point win over

1359
01:08:10,840 --> 01:08:15,200
Speaker 7: Old Dominion. The Fernando Mendoza calc Transfer make his debut

1360
01:08:15,280 --> 01:08:18,800
Speaker 7: for kurtz Signetti's Indiana Hoosiers, who also had an opportunity

1361
01:08:18,840 --> 01:08:20,960
Speaker 7: to compete for the national championship last year.

1362
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:21,760
Speaker 3: That was cool.

1363
01:08:21,880 --> 01:08:23,639
Speaker 7: Texas A and I with a seven to nothing lead

1364
01:08:23,920 --> 01:08:27,400
Speaker 7: over at Gutsa with seven minutes left in the first quarter.

1365
01:08:27,680 --> 01:08:31,360
Speaker 7: Kansas State leeds North Dakota nine, nine to seven extra

1366
01:08:31,360 --> 01:08:34,400
Speaker 7: point pending. Davy Johnson just threw a forty four yard

1367
01:08:34,400 --> 01:08:38,280
Speaker 7: touchdown pass. Florida with a fourteen to nothing lead over

1368
01:08:38,320 --> 01:08:41,479
Speaker 7: Long Island University and Oklahoma with a twenty one to

1369
01:08:41,560 --> 01:08:45,160
Speaker 7: nothing lead over Illinois State. John Mattier making his first

1370
01:08:45,160 --> 01:08:48,559
Speaker 7: start as a transfer quarterback for the Sooners. He they

1371
01:08:48,560 --> 01:08:51,559
Speaker 7: have twenty one points going into the half. My prediction,

1372
01:08:51,960 --> 01:08:55,839
Speaker 7: DJ Lagway is going to climb those Heisman odds. Really

1373
01:08:55,880 --> 01:08:59,240
Speaker 7: as Arch Manning catapults for all right.

1374
01:08:59,120 --> 01:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to do my Iceman updates as I

1375
01:09:01,040 --> 01:09:03,920
Speaker 2: always do, you know, and then weeks ahead, so stay tuned.

1376
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,519
Speaker 7: From if you say Arch I'm running in there and

1377
01:09:05,560 --> 01:09:06,800
Speaker 7: I'm turning off your microphone and the.

1378
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,960
Speaker 2: Arch Manning Show. Everything's based on what you do this year.

1379
01:09:10,080 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 3: Trust me, no hype, nothing the next three games, that

1380
01:09:14,240 --> 01:09:18,599
Speaker 3: fifth week of the season, he's gonna in his top three.

1381
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:20,599
Speaker 3: I know, I know, because it's all about what happened

1382
01:09:20,600 --> 01:09:21,000
Speaker 3: in this game.

1383
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,840
Speaker 7: But none of it has ever mattered about this game

1384
01:09:22,880 --> 01:09:25,679
Speaker 7: for ours, Manning's all have been the ghost of Mannings

1385
01:09:25,720 --> 01:09:26,479
Speaker 7: past batime.

1386
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:29,320
Speaker 2: Thank you very much, Martin. By the way, let me

1387
01:09:29,320 --> 01:09:31,760
Speaker 2: correct myself. They're not playing Georgia State US he's playing

1388
01:09:31,760 --> 01:09:34,080
Speaker 2: Missouri State. I'm confused because they have a game coming

1389
01:09:34,160 --> 01:09:38,080
Speaker 2: up against Georgia Southern eventually, yes, in this season. Uh

1390
01:09:38,200 --> 01:09:40,759
Speaker 2: so that game is kicking off right now. Once again,

1391
01:09:41,160 --> 01:09:44,799

1400
01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:06,639
Speaker 5: I do.

1401
01:10:07,240 --> 01:10:09,960
Speaker 4: I like it because when he was tapped on the

1402
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:15,120
Speaker 4: shoulder as a rookie because the training staff punctured Tyrod

1403
01:10:15,160 --> 01:10:20,639
Speaker 4: Taylor's lung going up against Kansas City with no first

1404
01:10:20,680 --> 01:10:24,000
Speaker 4: team practice reps, he went out there and duled and

1405
01:10:24,040 --> 01:10:27,080
Speaker 4: I believe they lost in overtime, not his fault, and

1406
01:10:27,120 --> 01:10:28,920
Speaker 4: I was like, oh, he has something. And then he

1407
01:10:29,000 --> 01:10:33,920
Speaker 4: proceeded to continue to excel and I was like, oh,

1408
01:10:34,680 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 4: to me, had the next year was better?

1409
01:10:38,400 --> 01:10:40,599
Speaker 2: All right, So I want to propose a trade team. Okay,

1410
01:10:43,080 --> 01:10:51,240
Speaker 2: it's a swap into quarterbacks. Oh all right, would you

1411
01:10:51,400 --> 01:10:57,439
Speaker 2: trade if you're the Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts straight up

1412
01:10:57,439 --> 01:11:02,240
Speaker 2: for Justin Herbert today? If the Chargers offered you Justin

1413
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:06,200
Speaker 2: Herbert straight up for Jalen Hurts, super Bowl champion Eagles,

1414
01:11:06,200 --> 01:11:07,559
Speaker 2: would you make that trade today?

1415
01:11:07,720 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 3: Yep?

1416
01:11:10,760 --> 01:11:12,840
Speaker 4: Okay, So guess who. Guess who would be a board?

1417
01:11:13,280 --> 01:11:14,600
Speaker 4: Guess who would love that?

1418
01:11:15,680 --> 01:11:18,360
Speaker 3: Take it out. I'll give you one. No, no, no, I'll

1419
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,240
Speaker 3: give you one player who would be like, yes, uh

1420
01:11:21,760 --> 01:11:24,880
Speaker 3: what any one? Other were reads he reads on during

1421
01:11:24,960 --> 01:11:28,519
Speaker 3: the game because he feels that he's not needed.

1422
01:11:28,800 --> 01:11:29,719
Speaker 2: And that is.

1423
01:11:31,360 --> 01:11:36,000
Speaker 4: Antonio Brown. Not Antonio Brown? What's uh? Aj Brown?

1424
01:11:36,360 --> 01:11:36,560
Speaker 8: A J?

1425
01:11:36,720 --> 01:11:36,960
Speaker 3: Brown?

1426
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:38,280
Speaker 2: All right? So let me ask you.

1427
01:11:38,280 --> 01:11:39,640
Speaker 3: You don't think he would want that?

1428
01:11:39,800 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm just asking all right. Well, the reason I

1429
01:11:42,160 --> 01:11:45,040
Speaker 2: mentioned that is so we have been getting into these

1430
01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 2: discussions about NFL quarterbacks, and I think you would agree

1431
01:11:50,040 --> 01:11:53,120
Speaker 2: with me. If you're talking about four quarterbacks that stand

1432
01:11:53,160 --> 01:11:56,960
Speaker 2: out from the pack. You have Mahomes, yep, you have

1433
01:11:57,080 --> 01:11:59,639
Speaker 2: Josh Allen, you have Lamar Jackson, you have Joe Burrow.

1434
01:12:00,360 --> 01:12:01,960
Speaker 3: They definitely stand out.

1435
01:12:02,040 --> 01:12:05,120
Speaker 2: Okay, So those four guys stand out So we had

1436
01:12:05,200 --> 01:12:08,519
Speaker 2: this round table on our Sunday show. All right, so

1437
01:12:08,560 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 2: if those are the clearly top four, who's your number five?

1438
01:12:13,760 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 2: And everybody raised their hand and pretty much had the

1439
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,800
Speaker 2: same One person did say Justin Herbert. Everyone else said

1440
01:12:21,080 --> 01:12:21,799
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts.

1441
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,920
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurts, I mean, I wouldn't be my number five.

1442
01:12:27,560 --> 01:12:32,320
Speaker 2: So how do you evaluate Jalen hurts career? Who had

1443
01:12:32,320 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 2: he not dropped a ball just randomly dropped the ball

1444
01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:38,000
Speaker 2: in a super Bowl, could be a time Super Bowl champion.

1445
01:12:38,400 --> 01:12:40,960
Speaker 2: And if you look at him, he outplayed Mahomes in

1446
01:12:41,040 --> 01:12:46,519
Speaker 2: both those games had to head, So why would you

1447
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:49,519
Speaker 2: not Jalen Hurts In the conversation.

1448
01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,639
Speaker 4: Of Jalen Hurts, I think he is a tremendous I

1449
01:12:51,720 --> 01:12:55,960
Speaker 4: loved him every since that debaco happened at Alabama.

1450
01:12:55,439 --> 01:12:57,800
Speaker 2: You and I both because the way he handled it.

1451
01:12:57,840 --> 01:13:00,200
Speaker 3: I'm like, this is a leader, this is your.

1452
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:03,000
Speaker 2: He's mature beyond his ears. I remember when he was drafted,

1453
01:13:03,080 --> 01:13:05,439
Speaker 2: I said, give me a ceiling on this guy, you

1454
01:13:05,439 --> 01:13:07,680
Speaker 2: know before he played, because that's what you're doing. You're

1455
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:09,679
Speaker 2: trying to project a guy. What's the ceiling? And people

1456
01:13:09,720 --> 01:13:11,880
Speaker 2: had a hard time and not.

1457
01:13:11,880 --> 01:13:15,040
Speaker 4: A natural thrower of the football in a passing league. Right,

1458
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:18,599
Speaker 4: But why the Philadelphia Eagles were the Philadelphia Eagles.

1459
01:13:18,600 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 3: I'll give you one guess. You have a guess. One

1460
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:28,200
Speaker 3: guess why he Well, okay, he had a historic he

1461
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 3: did not a good year, but ja've already been to

1462
01:13:31,520 --> 01:13:34,360
Speaker 3: a super Bowl. They won a game. They won a

1463
01:13:34,560 --> 01:13:37,080
Speaker 3: game with eighty yards passing.

1464
01:13:37,280 --> 01:13:45,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, their best receiver out of protests was reading literature

1465
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:48,680
Speaker 4: during the football game on the bench. And then it

1466
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:50,800
Speaker 4: turned into this whole thing. Well, I do it all

1467
01:13:50,840 --> 01:13:55,640
Speaker 4: the time. You don't, but that goes to show you.

1468
01:13:55,680 --> 01:13:58,200
Speaker 4: Then all the things they're not friends. They all of

1469
01:13:58,240 --> 01:14:01,960
Speaker 4: that happened because he's not a prolific throw of the football,

1470
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Speaker 4: but he is the leader of that is the leader,

1471
01:14:05,200 --> 01:14:11,479
Speaker 4: without a doubt, hands down the leader. Thank goodness, say

1472
01:14:11,560 --> 01:14:17,760
Speaker 4: Kwan BARTI, thank you Giants for being such an franchise.

1473
01:14:18,240 --> 01:14:20,799
Speaker 3: The way you can do you can let your leader

1474
01:14:20,880 --> 01:14:25,000
Speaker 3: and your guy go right down the freeway.

1475
01:14:25,200 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 2: All right, So who's your number five quarterback?

1476
01:14:27,160 --> 01:14:38,080
Speaker 4: My number five quarterback? Mmm, that's a good question. My

1477
01:14:38,280 --> 01:14:41,880
Speaker 4: number five quarterback would be.

1478
01:14:41,960 --> 01:14:44,040
Speaker 2: This is how we were. We're all sitting around and

1479
01:14:44,200 --> 01:14:44,960
Speaker 2: all said.

1480
01:14:45,720 --> 01:14:48,080
Speaker 4: I'm just going through the teams. I'm like, okay, okay,

1481
01:14:48,080 --> 01:14:49,519
Speaker 4: I don't want to put Sam up there. I don't

1482
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:52,320
Speaker 4: know who Sam is, even though he had a terrific

1483
01:14:52,920 --> 01:14:53,559
Speaker 4: Jared Goff.

1484
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:58,200
Speaker 3: Jared Goff is Jaden Daniels there for you? Not yet?

1485
01:14:58,280 --> 01:14:59,600
Speaker 3: I need one. I need I need a little bit

1486
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:02,920
Speaker 3: more for a j because remember Stroud with Matthew Stafford.

1487
01:15:03,800 --> 01:15:05,280
Speaker 3: Matthew Stafford is my five.

1488
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:10,720
Speaker 2: Well, you can't, no, no, no, I've said I had

1489
01:15:10,720 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: become a Matthew Stafford fan. I wasn't always.

1490
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:13,720
Speaker 3: You know.

1491
01:15:13,800 --> 01:15:16,839
Speaker 2: One of the most deceiving stats was his fourth quarter comebacks.

1492
01:15:16,840 --> 01:15:20,679
Speaker 2: And I'm like, he had to Australian and every fourth quarter,

1493
01:15:20,840 --> 01:15:23,080
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, how many times did Tom Brady

1494
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:25,519
Speaker 2: have a chance to actually have a fourth quarter comeback?

1495
01:15:25,560 --> 01:15:28,599
Speaker 2: You know? So that was always a deceiving stat to me. No,

1496
01:15:28,680 --> 01:15:32,000
Speaker 2: but he's I mean that that disc problem. I mean,

1497
01:15:32,000 --> 01:15:34,200
Speaker 2: it's one thing that was a problem. When you're talking

1498
01:15:34,200 --> 01:15:34,639
Speaker 2: about a.

1499
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 3: Disc problem, I have a disc problem.

1500
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:38,120
Speaker 2: How's that working for working?

1501
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:41,080
Speaker 3: And I have a problem. As we say, you.

1502
01:15:41,040 --> 01:15:42,080
Speaker 2: Retired from the NFL.

1503
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:45,400
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and guess what. I was on that team

1504
01:15:45,439 --> 01:15:47,519
Speaker 3: with Matthew Stafford his rookie year in Detroit.

1505
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,000
Speaker 2: Oh my god, he's he's been around for a while.

1506
01:15:50,040 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: Yeah, he's been around for a while.

1507
01:15:51,560 --> 01:15:53,920
Speaker 4: But I'm happy for him because he got a chance

1508
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:58,240
Speaker 4: to get out of there and had instant success that.

1509
01:15:58,280 --> 01:15:58,920
Speaker 3: Got the show.

1510
01:15:58,960 --> 01:16:01,160
Speaker 2: I'm a Matthew Stafford. I said this, so he will

1511
01:16:01,240 --> 01:16:05,760
Speaker 2: be five. If Matthew Stafford is healthy. The Rams to

1512
01:16:05,800 --> 01:16:08,720
Speaker 2: me are the biggest challenger to the Eagles in the

1513
01:16:08,840 --> 01:16:11,920
Speaker 2: NFC right now. They are my number tie in the

1514
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:17,160
Speaker 2: NFC behind the Eagles with big if a healthy Matthew Stafford.

1515
01:16:17,200 --> 01:16:19,679
Speaker 2: All right, coming up, what are we going to see

1516
01:16:19,880 --> 01:16:22,280
Speaker 2: once we get the NFL started? What's going to happen

1517
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,479
Speaker 2: with the Eagles and the Cowboys? And how about a

1518
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:28,559
Speaker 2: game in Brazil? Why are they playing in Brazil? We'll

1519
01:16:28,600 --> 01:16:31,240
Speaker 2: break it down for you. This is Fox Sports Saturday.

Speaker 2: Speaking of no style points when it comes to the NFL,

1542
01:17:47,720 --> 01:17:51,240
Speaker 2: there's definitely no stop points. It's all about winning or losing.

1543

Speaker 2: Just win, baby, it's my old boss used to tell me.

01:17:57,960 --> 01:18:01,880
Speaker 2: the Eagles opening up the schedule against Dallas Dallas Mavericks

1546
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,439
Speaker 2: a massacred. I'm not going to say Mavericks because they

1547
01:18:04,760 --> 01:18:08,200
Speaker 2: said goodbye to Luca and now the Cowboys get said

1548
01:18:08,560 --> 01:18:10,080
Speaker 2: fame own suicide.

1549
01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:10,560
Speaker 3: Why have you?

1550
01:18:10,720 --> 01:18:13,920
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable, right, I mean, they can't and I'm talking

1551
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:16,080
Speaker 4: sports suicide, not actual suicide.

1552
01:18:16,320 --> 01:18:18,439
Speaker 2: So the Eagles are seven and a half point favorites.

1553
01:18:18,520 --> 01:18:20,519
Speaker 2: Right now, does that sound like they.

1554
01:18:20,560 --> 01:18:21,639
Speaker 3: Win by fifteen points?

1555
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:24,599
Speaker 2: They should, right fifteen? That seemed like easy money.

1556
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:25,439
Speaker 3: Win by fifteen points.

1557
01:18:25,439 --> 01:18:28,160
Speaker 2: I will say this though before I did not expect

1558
01:18:28,200 --> 01:18:32,200
Speaker 2: Micah Parsons to exit. I did not, But I see

1559
01:18:32,240 --> 01:18:34,639
Speaker 2: a year ago and you know we have our sheet

1560
01:18:34,680 --> 01:18:36,760
Speaker 2: we fill out here at Fox Sports. Right, everyone makes

1561
01:18:36,800 --> 01:18:42,000
Speaker 2: their preseason predictions. Last year, my predicted Super Bowl winner

1562
01:18:44,160 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 2: was the Dallas Cowboys. That's who I predicted before last

1563
01:18:48,600 --> 01:18:52,080
Speaker 2: season would win the Super Bowl. And the reason I

1564
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:54,360
Speaker 2: said that they were coming off what three straight twelve

1565
01:18:54,400 --> 01:18:57,240
Speaker 2: win season, and I felt like the football gods are

1566
01:18:57,280 --> 01:18:59,479
Speaker 2: going to finally give them one. They're gonna they're gonna have.

1567
01:18:59,560 --> 01:19:03,320
Speaker 3: After all, Jerry's own the team, He's still running things, right,

1568
01:19:03,479 --> 01:19:04,320
Speaker 3: So I was.

1569
01:19:04,400 --> 01:19:09,360
Speaker 2: Thinking after last year's debacle that you know what, at

1570
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:13,599
Speaker 2: some point here, even though the Cowboys seemingly are doing

1571
01:19:13,960 --> 01:19:17,840
Speaker 2: all the wrong things, something positive is going to happen

1572
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:22,120
Speaker 2: for them. Is it conceivable to you without Micah.

1573
01:19:21,880 --> 01:19:24,080
Speaker 3: Parks that they got better? Is that what you're trying

1574
01:19:24,080 --> 01:19:24,240
Speaker 3: to say?

1575
01:19:24,280 --> 01:19:26,840
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, can you still project them as a

1576
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:30,960
Speaker 2: team that could actually make the playoffs. No believe in

1577
01:19:31,040 --> 01:19:33,120
Speaker 2: Dak Prescott in that division? Well in that division, are

1578
01:19:33,160 --> 01:19:36,400
Speaker 2: you believer in the Commanders? Like the Commanders, they're not

1579
01:19:36,479 --> 01:19:39,840
Speaker 2: going to have. You don't see Jade Daniels doing what CJ.

1580
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:42,280
Speaker 2: Stroud did where he takes a step back his second year.

1581
01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,280
Speaker 4: The funny thing is keep people keep saying c J.

1582
01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,840
Speaker 4: Stroud took the step back and he's stistically he got

1583
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,360
Speaker 4: them to the exact same spot.

1584
01:19:50,520 --> 01:19:53,560
Speaker 3: That is correct, he did his rookie year. I'll take that.

1585
01:19:53,760 --> 01:19:55,400
Speaker 3: So if Jay Daniels.

1586
01:19:55,160 --> 01:19:57,760
Speaker 4: Takes a step back statistically and they end up in

1587
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 4: the NFC Championship Game, again, is that a step back?

1588
01:20:02,479 --> 01:20:06,040
Speaker 2: Is it a positive for the NFL to have a

1589
01:20:06,200 --> 01:20:07,160
Speaker 2: game in Brazil?

1590
01:20:08,520 --> 01:20:08,560
Speaker 1: No?

1591
01:20:10,600 --> 01:20:12,840
Speaker 4: No, number one, because no one cares about football in

1592
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:16,439
Speaker 4: Brazil things and that travel is way too tough for

1593
01:20:16,600 --> 01:20:19,000
Speaker 4: these players to do. It's just not it's not okay.

1594
01:20:19,080 --> 01:20:21,559
Speaker 2: Did you watch that Kansas State Iowa State game in Dublin.

1595
01:20:21,880 --> 01:20:23,960
Speaker 2: Remember they started the Dublin game with Notre Dame, so

1596
01:20:24,120 --> 01:20:26,519
Speaker 2: it makes sense, you know, the fighting average Dublin, Ireland.

1597
01:20:26,920 --> 01:20:30,320
Speaker 2: And they were interviewing people before the game like you know, uh,

1598
01:20:30,680 --> 01:20:32,880
Speaker 2: You're like What do you think anyone in Dublin could

1599
01:20:32,920 --> 01:20:37,400
Speaker 2: identify where the states of Iowa or Kansas hang? No, no,

1600
01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,879
Speaker 2: why are you? What is the point? We have American football.

1601
01:20:42,200 --> 01:20:45,960
Speaker 2: The rest of the world has football that we call soccer.

1602
01:20:46,280 --> 01:20:47,519
Speaker 2: We have American football.

1603
01:20:47,560 --> 01:20:48,320
Speaker 5: We don't need to be.

1604
01:20:48,439 --> 01:20:51,599
Speaker 2: International with our game. Why is a game being played

1605
01:20:51,640 --> 01:20:53,680
Speaker 2: in Brazil because.

1606
01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:57,200
Speaker 3: The NFL is on a global march to die.

1607
01:20:57,240 --> 01:20:59,120
Speaker 2: Forget the global mark moor.

1608
01:20:59,320 --> 01:21:02,680
Speaker 3: After they die, there's more money that we had out there.

1609
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:06,320
Speaker 2: You're not basketball, you're not baseball. Get your money, all right.

1610
