36
00:01:41,560 --> 00:01:42,560

00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 4: I took two days they Wendy. Is that getting away?

38
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 2: Okay? Okay, well I take that. Yeah, I was at

00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,240

40
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 3: In no, I was here. I worked actually on Christmas Day?

41
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:58,440
Speaker 3: Oh okay for a little bit, not long.

42
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:00,480
Speaker 2: That's what I'm talking about. Work.

43
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 1: Your big takeaway from the classic we saw last night

44
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: between the Bears and the Niners was.

45
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 3: What Kyles Sana has to be Coach of the Year.

46
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,480
Speaker 3: It's incredible. Think about who wasn't playing last night? They

47
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:19,880
Speaker 3: have five Okay, party is not a star of stars.

48
00:02:19,919 --> 00:02:21,919
Speaker 3: There's a really good quarterback but if you take their

49
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:25,440
Speaker 3: stars off that team, five top players off that team,

50
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:30,720
Speaker 3: Krent Williams has won, George Kittle's won, Christian McCaffrey, Fred Warner,

51
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: and Nick Bosa, And how many of them were in

52
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 3: the lineup last night once Trent Williams went out one.

53
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,359
Speaker 3: I mean, it's incredible. It's absolutely incredible what they've done

54
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:43,639
Speaker 3: with that team. And if they win, uh this week

55
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 3: against Seattle, which we know Sam Darnold's on the road

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: and I don't care how bad San Francis Goose defenses,

57
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 3: They're going to win that game. Then they win two

58
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 3: games in the playoffs, and they played the super Bowl

59
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 3: at home, which is absolutely incredible. Now having said that

60
00:02:57,520 --> 00:03:01,079
Speaker 3: their defense is awful, but I do think that they

61
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 3: get party in that group gives them a legitimate chance

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,680
Speaker 3: to be a threat in the postseason, no question about it.

63
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:11,040
Speaker 4: I gotta say, listen, there's there's no real door prize

64
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 4: or or feel good loss. But this, this this Chicago

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 4: Bears team is for real. I mean, could you have

66
00:03:19,200 --> 00:03:24,080
Speaker 4: come away from that game last last evening feeling just

67
00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 4: as confident about the Bears and a loss as you

68
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,720
Speaker 4: do about maybe the Niners in that win.

69
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 3: Well, I think both their defenses are bad.

70
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 1: I mean, you know who, Yeah, they can't rush the passer,

71
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: and neither one can get to the.

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: Cock, can rush the quarterback. And when you play in

73
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 3: the playoffs and you can't rush the quarterback, that's going

74
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:45,480
Speaker 3: to be a problem. So and let's not forget they're

75
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 3: an on site kick, boxed on side kick away from

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 3: losing that game to Green Bay last week, and so

77
00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 3: we would be thinking differently of them. But I'm more

78
00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 3: going look, I think Caleb Williams is taking big strikes.

79
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,800
Speaker 3: I think Ben Johnson is a big, big time play caller.

80
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 3: I think they can run the ball. The line's good,

81
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,200
Speaker 3: They're going to score points on offense. But I'm worried

82
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,040
Speaker 3: about that defense. I mean, there when you can't rush

83
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:08,320
Speaker 3: the passer and most quarterbacks had all day, I think

84
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 3: that's a big problem for both teams going forward.

85
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 4: Which would you rather have, though, Pete, would you rather

86
00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 4: have offense or would you have defense? Because it seems

87
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:16,720
Speaker 4: like you got to make a choice these days. I mean,

88
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 4: you look at the Eagles, you got to choose. Do

89
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:21,240
Speaker 4: you do you want a team that has a defense

90
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 4: that's going to make it make it work? Or do

91
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 4: you want to have a team like the Niners or

92
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,440
Speaker 4: the Bears that have a offense that can make it work?

93
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,000
Speaker 2: Which one? Which one would be better?

94
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 3: I'd rather be the Eagles because I think that there's

95
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 3: always a chance that Barkley's going to get it going,

96
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,800
Speaker 3: you know what I mean, And that defense is suffocating,

97
00:04:37,839 --> 00:04:39,839
Speaker 3: and I think that Barkley can. We've seen him do it,

98
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,200
Speaker 3: so I think they can get a god. I just

99
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 3: think the play call is bad for them, and Jalen

100
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 3: hurkss not play very well. But I'd rather be the Eagles.

101
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:49,480
Speaker 3: I think you have to be able to knock the

102
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: other guys quarterback down. It's disaster and I don't see

103
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 3: that for either one of those two teams.

104
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:57,559
Speaker 1: Pete Prisco joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, senior

105
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,920
Speaker 1: NFL columns for CBS Sports, CBS Sports HQ analysts. You

106
00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:03,240
Speaker 1: can get him on x at Prisco CBS. All Right,

107
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 1: So I mentioned this earlier that I was going to

108
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 1: ask you about it because back in August, when you

109
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: were doing your training camp tour, uh oh, you were

110
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 1: speaking glowingly about what you saw from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers,

111
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 1: and I don't know what transpired halfway through the season,

112
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,560
Speaker 1: but they are a shell of themselves, and they find

113
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:26,359
Speaker 1: themselves still with an opportunity to win at home and

114
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 1: get into the playoffs and probably most likely be a

115
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:31,640
Speaker 1: one and done. What the f is going on in

116
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,040
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay with the Buccaneers injuries.

117
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 3: That team's been decimated. You know, they played yesterday without

118
00:05:38,440 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 3: their two starting guards and without Tristan Wurfs on the

119
00:05:40,880 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 3: offensive line. And I don't care what Baker Mayfield says.

120
00:05:44,040 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 3: He's hurt, he's hurt. He got hurt, and it very

121
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 3: thinks he got hurt in the Rams game. I think

122
00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 3: he got hurt in the forty nine Ers game and

123
00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,279
Speaker 3: just kind of played through it. He's not throwing the

124
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:56,599
Speaker 3: ball close to what he was throwing at early in

125
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:59,320
Speaker 3: the season. And now they have their weapons back. It's

126
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 3: been one of those years. They didn't have the offensive line. Early,

127
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,520
Speaker 3: they had the wide receivers going in out of the lineup.

128
00:06:04,839 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 3: Now the wide receivers are all back, the offensive line

129
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: continues to be banged up, and you go to the

130
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 3: defensive side of the ball. You talk about a team

131
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,040
Speaker 3: that doesn't rush the passes that, well, that's them. They

132
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: went out and got Reddick, thinking that they who had

133
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,240
Speaker 3: joined Diabi to be able to rush the quarterback with

134
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,960
Speaker 3: Kanty inside. Kanty's not playing very isn't playing because he's

135
00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:23,039
Speaker 3: been hurt all year. The other guys aren't playing well.

136
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:25,160
Speaker 3: The secondary has been giving up a bunch of bus

137
00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 3: It's not a good look. And you know, and when

138
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:31,760
Speaker 3: they can't score offensively, that's a problem because I don't

139
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 3: think they're very good defensively. Now, having said all that,

140
00:06:35,160 --> 00:06:37,520
Speaker 3: they're playing a quarterback or crew for fifty four yards

141
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 3: last this past week, fifty four for Ice Young, as

142
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,960
Speaker 3: they started calling him in Carolina. He melted yesterday because

143
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:48,400
Speaker 3: he was awful, and so I mean, yeah, did you

144
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 3: see that the teammates because he's been cool at the

145
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:52,279
Speaker 3: end of games, he's won some games, so they started

146
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 3: calling them Ice Young.

147
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: Well wait a second, have you identified the next quarterback

148
00:06:57,560 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: on your hit list? Have you Bryce now the guy

149
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: you're going to go after?

150
00:07:01,400 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 3: He's been on he's been on my list. I don't

151
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:05,039
Speaker 3: think he's very good.

152
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 4: I mean, you guys are the same size. I would

153
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 4: think that would be like looking out for him, like

154
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 4: sticking up for him.

155
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, I'm in the same size and I'm not

156
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:15,920
Speaker 3: playing quarterback in the NFL for a reason because I

157
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:19,480
Speaker 3: am that size, right, I mean, I don't think he's

158
00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,280
Speaker 3: very good. And they have a tough situation now because

159
00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:24,680
Speaker 3: what do you do with them?

160
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 4: You're stronger almost, you're built stronger, like you could probably

161
00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:29,800
Speaker 4: lift more weights than him though probably.

162
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:33,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, And so I just think that one of those

163
00:07:33,080 --> 00:07:34,840
Speaker 3: two teams is going into the playoffs. So if you're

164
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:36,840
Speaker 3: at the NDFC teams, you want to be the number five?

165
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 3: Would you rather be number five? The number six or seven?

166
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: For sure? Right? You might might be number five than

167
00:07:42,200 --> 00:07:44,920
Speaker 3: in three because you could go play them. You go

168
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 3: play one of those two teams on the road and

169
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:48,600
Speaker 3: I can't carry you know, like I know it's on

170
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 3: the road. But you would think that that's a good

171
00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 3: pass for you to try and get to the next round.

172
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,720
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, totally agree.

173
00:07:54,920 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: Speaking of trying to get to the round the first pick.

174
00:07:58,680 --> 00:08:02,400
Speaker 4: Your your Raiders did what everybody thought that they would do,

175
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:06,200
Speaker 4: but even in more impressive fashion than the maybe what

176
00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:08,720
Speaker 4: I had originally thought. I didn't think that they'd be

177
00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 4: able to lose that badly to a team like the

178
00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 4: New York Giants, but they did what what's your Is

179
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,160
Speaker 4: it a rap? Is it a rap for Pete Carroll?

180
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 4: Is it a rap for this this coaching staff? Is

181
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 4: it another one and done?

182
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 3: I don't know if it is for Pete Carroll, in

183
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:27,320
Speaker 3: large part because I don't know if they can continue

184
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,040
Speaker 3: to pay head coaches. I think the Gruden thing's still

185
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:33,440
Speaker 3: in litigation for money they're paying him. They're still paying

186
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 3: what McDaniels, they're still paying Peers, they're paying they were

187
00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:39,560
Speaker 3: paying Chip Kelly six million a year. They're still paying

188
00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:42,080
Speaker 3: that contract out. How much can you keep letting go

189
00:08:42,120 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 3: out the door? And so I don't know if they

190
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,200
Speaker 3: fire them, but they're awful and that was a tank job.

191
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:50,680
Speaker 3: I don't care what anybody they can they can. I

192
00:08:50,720 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 3: mean the thing they did with with Crosby was terrible

193
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 3: and they just looked lifeless. But the problem with that

194
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:03,679
Speaker 3: team is they overvalued Gino Smith, which everybody in the

195
00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 3: league did last year. And you know, remember when the

196
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,720
Speaker 3: Raiders signed, oh great signing Gino Smith. Look what he did? Well?

197
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 3: Do you think Seattle didn't know something when they let

198
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,800
Speaker 3: him go? And so I think that's their problem. And

199
00:09:14,840 --> 00:09:16,560
Speaker 3: now they're in the number one pick spot and they

200
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,680
Speaker 3: should stay there because they probably won't win next week.

201
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 3: And if they're there, what do you do you Thante

202
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,320
Speaker 3: more Fernando Mendozer. In the battle for the number one pick,

203
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: one of those guys has to be the pick of

204
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,640
Speaker 3: the Raiders, and the Giants messed up by winning. They

205
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 3: could have had the number one overall pick, and if

206
00:09:31,200 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 3: they had the number one overall pick, if they truly

207
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 3: believe Jackson Darter is their guy, then they could have

208
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 3: used that to trade and get a haul picks. And

209
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 3: yet they went out and won the game. So you win,

210
00:09:41,440 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 3: but you lose for winning in that situation.

211
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, The Max Crosby story is just it's wild how

212
00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: obvious it is. They Pete Carroll comes out and says, well,

213
00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:53,480
Speaker 1: you know, we took a look at him. He was

214
00:09:53,480 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 1: hobbling to get on the team bus and we're looking

215
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:58,280
Speaker 1: at him, and you know, we just made the right

216
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 1: call to send him home or to say he's not

217
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,640
Speaker 1: going to play. He leaves a facility because he's pissed off.

218
00:10:04,640 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 1: And then Max Crosby posts to social media later on

219
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:11,760
Speaker 1: that day him moving around fine, playing basketball, hanging out

220
00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:15,560
Speaker 1: with his daughter like everything, like to let everybody know Hey,

221
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 1: this is a tank job. I want to play and

222
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: they're not letting me play, Like, I don't know. Do

223
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,480
Speaker 1: you think does the NFL look into this if the

224
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:27,439
Speaker 1: Raiders aren't being forthright about his injury and he's at

225
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: home basically saying, look, I'm fine, but they won't let

226
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 1: me play because we're trying to tank so we can

227
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:33,839
Speaker 1: get the first pick, Like, do you think the NFL

228
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:36,400
Speaker 1: looks into this? Because you know the NBA's had problems

229
00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:38,200
Speaker 1: with this, but it feels as blatant as you can

230
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,199
Speaker 1: get with the Raiders and how they've handled it.

231
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 3: Well, the problem with looking into it is he probably

232
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,200
Speaker 3: has played the last five game six games with a

233
00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 3: knee injury, and he probably does need some kind of

234
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 3: procedure on the knee so they can get around it

235
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 3: that way. The problem is, did you put the tape

236
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,680
Speaker 3: on last week when he did play? I mean, he

237
00:10:57,760 --> 00:11:01,800
Speaker 3: was a monster against the Texans. He was unblockable, and

238
00:11:01,880 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 3: so how can they justify it that way? So I

239
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 3: get it, but the reality is is it probably not

240
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 3: going to get much of anything coming back on him

241
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 3: in March, part because he probably does need some kind

242
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 3: of procedure done on his leg. So the reality is

243
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,760
Speaker 3: he's hurt, he could have played through it, and they packed,

244
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:19,280
Speaker 3: even if they would never admit it.

245
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:20,160
Speaker 2: Crazy.

246
00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 4: We've had a long conversation about the Stillers and the Ravens.

247
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:29,080
Speaker 2: It's clearly going to be a big topic this week.

248
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:32,680
Speaker 4: Because they're going for the divisional title against one another.

249
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 4: Yet the loser will not be in the playoffs. They'll

250
00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,600
Speaker 4: go home, and for I guess what it's worth. Whichever

251
00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:47,079
Speaker 4: team loses, it's got to be considered a hard disappointing

252
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:51,000
Speaker 4: year for that team. And then I think the question

253
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,400
Speaker 4: still remains, is it still considered the same for the

254
00:11:55,480 --> 00:11:59,760
Speaker 4: team that advances if they're not successful in the playoffs.

255
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,760
Speaker 4: What's your take on the current You know, I guess

256
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,760
Speaker 4: state of the Steelers and the Ravens because I feel

257
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 4: like they're very interchangeable conversations with the season, the team

258
00:12:10,520 --> 00:12:12,320
Speaker 4: as well as as the coaches.

259
00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 3: You know about ten weeks ago when these two teams

260
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 3: were meriandering through the season and you think one would

261
00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:20,839
Speaker 3: get hot and the other one was done and the

262
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,199
Speaker 3: other one would get hot. You know, ten weeks ago,

263
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: maybe even longer, we said, ah, that division is going

264
00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 3: to come down to the final week of the season

265
00:12:27,640 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: when the Steelers play the Ravens and you look at

266
00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:31,520
Speaker 3: and people say, what are you talking about, Well, it

267
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 3: always does, and you know what it will, in large

268
00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 3: part because neither one of them are very good. I mean,

269
00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 3: if you look at it, the Steelers without DK Metcalf

270
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 3: yesterday couldn't do anything. And you look at the Ravens.

271
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 3: They ran the ball and ran it right down Green

272
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:51,200
Speaker 3: Bay throat the other day, but their defense is awful

273
00:12:52,040 --> 00:12:54,280
Speaker 3: right now, And so you look at it and you go,

274
00:12:54,280 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: who's the better team? Don't I'd say the Ravens would

275
00:12:58,280 --> 00:12:59,959
Speaker 3: be the one that could get fired in the playoffs

276
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 3: if Lamar Jackson is healthy and can turn and he

277
00:13:02,360 --> 00:13:05,360
Speaker 3: gives the ball to Henry. But the reality is they're

278
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:09,000
Speaker 3: like the NFC teams. Is anybody not jocking to be

279
00:13:09,080 --> 00:13:10,800
Speaker 3: the number five team and go play one of those

280
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 3: two in the playoffs? I mean, I'd rather play them

281
00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:17,000
Speaker 3: for sure. So and the other part of that is

282
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:19,400
Speaker 3: is Lamar Jackson playing this week. You know I had

283
00:13:19,400 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 3: the back injury. What was it, back, Bruce? You missed

284
00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 3: the game for a back bruise, And so that you're

285
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 3: starting to hear rumblings out of Baltimore. That was a

286
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,960
Speaker 3: story last week by Mike Preston about how they're tiring

287
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 3: of him not training at the facility and he needs

288
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 3: to take better care of himself. And so I think

289
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,040
Speaker 3: there's a lot of stuff at stake in this game.

290
00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:43,040
Speaker 3: Is it Aaron Rodgers last game? It has everything the

291
00:13:43,160 --> 00:13:45,679
Speaker 3: NFL wants. We were joking around watching the game yesterday,

292
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 3: the Steelers game, saying well, if the NFL can do

293
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:50,080
Speaker 3: anything in their power to make them lose that game,

294
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:52,200
Speaker 3: they would because they want that game at prime time.

295
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 3: That's what they wanted. They wanted Marquee game and one

296
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 3: now they got one. So I'm looking forward to it.

297
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,040
Speaker 3: It's going to be ugly football, and I don't think

298
00:13:59,080 --> 00:14:02,199
Speaker 3: the team that wins it really can go on to run.

299
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,439
Speaker 3: But if you can't to answer me, which one could

300
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 3: possibly go on a run to the two of them,

301
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:07,240
Speaker 3: I would pick the Ravens.

302
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,080
Speaker 1: Yeah. Pete Prisco with us here on Fox Sports Rady

303
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:11,800
Speaker 1: for those that aren't familiar, and we talked about this

304
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:13,559
Speaker 1: a little bit earlier, but if you're just joining us.

305
00:14:13,840 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: It was Mike Preston of The Baltimore Son who wrote

306
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:19,760
Speaker 1: an article talking about Lamar Jackson, you know, sources saying,

307
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 1: you know, he stays up late playing video games and

308
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,160
Speaker 1: falls asleep during team meetings, and you know he's not.

309
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 1: You know, they've changed the practice times and John Harborough's

310
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:33,200
Speaker 1: kind of growing tired of it and it's worn out,

311
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:35,920
Speaker 1: it's welcome a little bit like that just feels like,

312
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,120
Speaker 1: and I was saying this earlier Pete, that feels like

313
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: it's a little bit too specific for it to just

314
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: be nothing, that it just was made up at of

315
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 1: thin air. And from what I've heard, you know, Mike

316
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:49,920
Speaker 1: Preston's pretty connected and it's not He's not just making

317
00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,840
Speaker 1: stuff up. Even though John Harbord dismisses it. Where does

318
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,960
Speaker 1: that report and those details land with you as somebody

319
00:14:56,960 --> 00:14:58,480
Speaker 1: who's been in this business a long time.

320
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 3: Oh, I've known Mike rest in a long time, a

321
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:04,480
Speaker 3: long time, and Mike press is not going to just

322
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:06,600
Speaker 3: make that up. That's not what he is as a

323
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,200
Speaker 3: as a journalist. So that he got that from people

324
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:12,760
Speaker 3: inside the building, and it obviously is an issue. Look,

325
00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 3: you know, Lamar Jackson throws it in the off season.

326
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 3: He comes down to South Florida down here and throws

327
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: at parks with his buddies and stuff. You can't. You

328
00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:21,600
Speaker 3: got to be around the facility. You got to take

329
00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:25,440
Speaker 3: care of yourself and and so that's that's something I've

330
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 3: never quite grasped. And you know, I was talking to Fred.

331
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:32,120
Speaker 3: One of the guys told me Fred Warner of the

332
00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,280
Speaker 3: forty nine ers trains year round at the facility. You know,

333
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 3: he doesn't go. These guys go to these facilities and

334
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:39,840
Speaker 3: LaVar you know all about them. They pay big money

335
00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 3: to go train at the you know, these facilities in

336
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 3: South Florida and they get together and work out down there.

337
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:48,000
Speaker 3: When you can stay with your team, train with your

338
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 3: own trainers, take advantage of your your free food and

339
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,120
Speaker 3: free you know nutrition, and deal with your nutritionists. Why

340
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 3: would you not do that if you're If you're like

341
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 3: Fred Warner, goes, drives to the facility every day, works

342
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 3: out there, gets some advice from the trainers, knows what

343
00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,600
Speaker 3: he has to do to train for his job, and

344
00:16:07,880 --> 00:16:11,200
Speaker 3: you know, eat all their food. And these guys leave

345
00:16:11,480 --> 00:16:13,480
Speaker 3: and go scurry all over the country and pay big

346
00:16:13,520 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 3: money to go train with trainers who have no idea

347
00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 3: what it's like to train for football. So I don't know,

348
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: I just think sometimes we overthink it and Lamar Jackson

349
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: needs to be more focused and stay around that facility more.

350
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,760
Speaker 2: Has he done, like has he hit his ceiling?

351
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,640
Speaker 4: Of all the quarterbacks around the league that you would say,

352
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:35,200
Speaker 4: you know what, they had a good run, but maybe

353
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: they hit their ceiling, where does where does Lamar Jackson

354
00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:40,200
Speaker 4: fall in that category?

355
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,520
Speaker 3: Well? His is different in large part because he's improved

356
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:47,040
Speaker 3: as a passer. But we still got to admit the

357
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:48,800
Speaker 3: big part of what he is is his ability to

358
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:52,040
Speaker 3: move around and hit, the threat of him to run

359
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 3: and the threat of him to help open up the run.

360
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 3: And so far since he's been back from his injuries,

361
00:16:57,920 --> 00:16:59,520
Speaker 3: he hasn't been able to run like he did. He

362
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 3: hasn't been he's been reluctant, his speeds have been down.

363
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 3: And so when you take that away from him, what

364
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 3: is he.

365
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:05,840
Speaker 2: As a quarterback?

366
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 3: He's a small guy that can make plays in the

367
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,399
Speaker 3: pocket and he's gotten better at it, but he's not

368
00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:13,400
Speaker 3: great at it unless he's got the threat to run.

369
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,679
Speaker 3: And so that's the concern with Lamar Jackson. If I

370
00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 3: were him, I would reinvent myself and become a fitness

371
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 3: guy who you know is focused on the football and

372
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,679
Speaker 3: not playing video games, if that's indeed true, and and

373
00:17:28,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 3: take care of yourself to stay around the facility and

374
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,200
Speaker 3: be more more present with your teammates in the off

375
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:36,480
Speaker 3: season and go from there, because right now the injuries

376
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 3: have become a major factor for him. He's not a

377
00:17:38,320 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 3: big guy. Let's not forget that. He's not a big guy.

378
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: And also, like it seems like he's got the flu

379
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,920
Speaker 1: every week, like he like there's a practice he's he's

380
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: got the flu. Like I think he's in this like

381
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:51,200
Speaker 1: seven straight Wednesday practices at this point. It just yeah,

382
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: it just feels like there's there's a lot going on.

383
00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 3: Well, if you have if you're if you're if you're

384
00:17:54,920 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 3: saying you have the flu and you don't sleep all

385
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 3: night because you're up playing video games, is that right

386
00:17:59,240 --> 00:17:59,639
Speaker 3: out for you?

387
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 1: Yes? That yeah, that's what you know. Who needs chicken

388
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 1: noodle soup when you can just play you know, Call

389
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,199
Speaker 1: of Duty until four?

390
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 3: And we don't I mean, look, I might press into

391
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 3: a damn good reporter, so I kind of, you know,

392
00:18:10,840 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 3: I trust his sources on it. But if again, we

393
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 3: don't know if that's true, But if it is, it's

394
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 3: just a bad look for a franchise quarterback. It's just,

395
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 3: you know, is it better that he's out, you know,

396
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 3: getting bombed every night running the streets and getting in trouble. Absolutely,

397
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:27,120
Speaker 3: But the good side of this is if you're staying

398
00:18:27,200 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 3: up all night, you're not getting asleep and your habits

399
00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:31,760
Speaker 3: aren't great to come in and practice hard every day.

400
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:34,560
Speaker 1: Are the Bills a viable Super Bowl contender?

401
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:37,760
Speaker 3: Well? One good thing that came out of and I

402
00:18:37,800 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 3: don't know how we take this one good thing they

403
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:41,639
Speaker 3: came out of the game on Sunday is this it

404
00:18:41,760 --> 00:18:43,919
Speaker 3: played good defense? But is that because they played good

405
00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:45,679
Speaker 3: defense because the Eagles thing go on offense and they

406
00:18:45,720 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 3: actually showed up and played good defense. I mean, it's

407
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:51,760
Speaker 3: something something has to give there. But look, with Josh

408
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 3: Allen playing quarterback, of course they're a viable Super Bowl

409
00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 3: contender and they can get hot in the moment and

410
00:18:56,960 --> 00:18:59,720
Speaker 3: if their defense can play like that, sure they are.

411
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 3: Now I don't know if they can or is that

412
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: just because the Eagles are so bad on offense? Right now?

413
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 3: That did dominating? Do you realize the Eagles didn't have

414
00:19:07,320 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 3: any yards passing in the second half none, zero, not

415
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 3: one completion, And I think that's the second game that's

416
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: happened for them. And one of our guys had a

417
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:21,920
Speaker 3: stat last night they said this the first time since

418
00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,440
Speaker 3: they started to keep in that stat in nineteen seventy

419
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 3: eight that a guy hasn't had completed passes in two

420
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:30,159
Speaker 3: games in the same season in the second half. So

421
00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 3: you know, but the Bill defense did show up and

422
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 3: play better, and I give them that. And if they

423
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 3: can play good on defense, they're dangerous to everybody. We

424
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:40,240
Speaker 3: know Cook can run the ball. You know, Allen can

425
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,439
Speaker 3: make those plays and down the field and outside the pocket.

426
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:46,120
Speaker 3: So I'd be careful if any team in the playoffs

427
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:50,240
Speaker 3: in the AFC they're saying, oh, Bills might be, you know, vulnerable,

428
00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:52,600
Speaker 3: because I don't think you want to play them. In fact,

429
00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,600
Speaker 3: of all the teams that you have a chance to

430
00:19:54,600 --> 00:19:56,679
Speaker 3: sit at home and get ready to play, that's the

431
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 3: one I wouldn't want to play.

432
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,000
Speaker 4: No, before we let you go, I was done, But

433
00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 4: I just kind of thought about this. I never got

434
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 4: your like opinion on DK Metcalf. The dude came out

435
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:11,280
Speaker 4: and held a full out press conference about him not

436
00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:17,000
Speaker 4: being a racist or whatever. He's he's sensitive about animal

437
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:17,919
Speaker 4: rights and stuff.

438
00:20:17,960 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 2: Like that or whatever. But what what's your take on

439
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 2: on that?

440
00:20:21,960 --> 00:20:25,320
Speaker 4: Like him saying his kids are getting you know, threats,

441
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 4: you know, violent threats, you know, all kinds of different

442
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:33,880
Speaker 4: I guess fallout and repercussions from what took place. What's

443
00:20:33,960 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 4: your you know, what's your take on DK in this

444
00:20:37,320 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 4: this scenario. What what's your take on the fan like

445
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 4: the interaction of.

446
00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 3: It all the fans of jackass Okay, the fans shut

447
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:46,359
Speaker 3: your shut your mouth. You were trying to get advise

448
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:47,920
Speaker 3: out of him. You wanted that to happen. You wanted

449
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 3: something to happen, and now you're going on a tour,

450
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:51,680
Speaker 3: the publicity tour. You're probably going a final suit against

451
00:20:51,720 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 3: them and then go from there. So fans an idiot.

452
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,159
Speaker 3: Me Kay's more of an idiot for going over and

453
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 3: doing what he did. I mean, look what happened to

454
00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 3: the Steelers yesterday. Technically you could sit here and say,

455
00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: if the Steelers don't beat the Ravens on Sunday, But

456
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:07,479
Speaker 3: DK Metcalf's stupidity cost him a playoff birth because they

457
00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 3: had they had they had three catches by Scotty Miller yesterday,

458
00:21:10,840 --> 00:21:14,239
Speaker 3: who led the team, and catches by receiver. Yesterday they

459
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: were limited on offense and large part because dk Metcalff

460
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 3: is the guy to stretched the field and get the

461
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 3: ball down of the field. Well, where was he one playing?

462
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:22,720
Speaker 3: Because he was so caught up in the moment that

463
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 3: he had to go over there and tug on a

464
00:21:24,080 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 3: fan or slap him or whatever. He did it because

465
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:29,560
Speaker 3: the guy said something about him, and so dk Metcalf

466
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 3: has to be smarter. But the fans of Jack asked,

467
00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 3: he knew what he was doing. He was trying to

468
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,720
Speaker 3: get a rise at him. He did it before, and

469
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: so that guy's a guy's a just it's mild to

470
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 3: think what he's doing right now because he's trying to

471
00:21:41,840 --> 00:21:44,280
Speaker 3: take advantage of the situation. He knew what he was doing.

472
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: It was all calculated. Chuck your mouth. Look, it's okay

473
00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,280
Speaker 3: to heckle players. I've done that before. Believe me, Back

474
00:21:50,280 --> 00:21:52,439
Speaker 3: in the day, I used to heckle like crazy. But

475
00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,680
Speaker 3: don't get to the point where you're making it personal

476
00:21:55,880 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 3: and the guy's going to come over and give you

477
00:21:57,200 --> 00:21:59,240
Speaker 3: a slap. Now, we don't know what he said, and

478
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:01,440
Speaker 3: it doesn't sound like it was anything racial. You hope

479
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 3: like it wasn't, But dk have to be above that LaVar.

480
00:22:04,440 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 3: You played the game. I'm sure you're plenty of craft

481
00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 3: that you wanted to go up in the stands and

482
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:09,040
Speaker 3: beat the day, like to have a guy.

483
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:12,199
Speaker 4: I've heard some really really, really bad I told the

484
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,880
Speaker 4: story the other day Kansas City one year. It was

485
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:21,280
Speaker 4: it was really really bad. Like it was bad the

486
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 4: things they were saying. To me, It's so bad that

487
00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:27,679
Speaker 4: you almost would ask yourself the people in between or

488
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: the people beside those people who were saying the viscenities

489
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:35,880
Speaker 4: that they were saying, why, Like why wasn't something done?

490
00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:37,439
Speaker 2: That's how bad it was?

491
00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 3: Shut up, like, shut up, you idiot. The problem.

492
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 2: I turned around to look for gohead.

493
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 3: Good, God, here's the problem, because if you start opening

494
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,800
Speaker 3: your mouth, next thing you know, you're in a fight

495
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 3: in the stands, And who the hell wants that, you

496
00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 3: know what I mean.

497
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:54,119
Speaker 4: I'm not letting nobody pull me out of my character

498
00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,560
Speaker 4: that way. I'm there to perform. I realize it's a

499
00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:00,720
Speaker 4: show and we are the actors in the show. I

500
00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 4: realized that you know it's reality television, but nonetheless, you

501
00:23:04,920 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 4: play yourself in the show.

502
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,160
Speaker 2: So I get it, and I often wonder.

503
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 4: Why why people are allowed to holler out certain obscenities

504
00:23:15,400 --> 00:23:18,240
Speaker 4: the way that they are. Like I did get racial

505
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:23,080
Speaker 4: obscenities hollered at me in that moment in particular, and

506
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,560
Speaker 4: a ton of profanity, But you know, I always said

507
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:28,440
Speaker 4: that where they're like, well, how'd you react? How'd you

508
00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 4: re act? Turned around at first and it was like

509
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:33,960
Speaker 4: come on, man, like it's it's a game, like like

510
00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 4: are you okay? Then as they kept going on. I

511
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:40,159
Speaker 4: always I did this on the field with players who

512
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,919
Speaker 4: would try to get me, but I would do it

513
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 4: with fans too.

514
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:43,280
Speaker 2: I'd always tell.

515
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:46,360
Speaker 4: Them their mother, like like if you're calling me all

516
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,919
Speaker 4: those obscenities, I'd be like, ah, your mother is or

517
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:51,639
Speaker 4: oh your mother is that, or ah, ah you're talking

518
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:54,680
Speaker 4: about your mom Like I just always that was always

519
00:23:54,720 --> 00:23:58,040
Speaker 4: my comeback, and so I didn't take myself too seriously.

520
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 4: So I make myself laugh and like that probably hurt

521
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,240
Speaker 4: their feelings or something.

522
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:05,200
Speaker 3: Maybe their mom is shou said you should have said look,

523
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 3: he should have said, look, dude, you're over there. I'm

524
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 3: over here. But I guarantee if you were here and

525
00:24:10,600 --> 00:24:11,879
Speaker 3: I was right in front of you, you would be

526
00:24:11,960 --> 00:24:12,840
Speaker 3: saying that to my face.

527
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,239
Speaker 4: But I don't even I don't even you know, for me,

528
00:24:16,320 --> 00:24:18,919
Speaker 4: I didn't even take it. It wasn't that he if

529
00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 4: he wants violence, it's never been that deep to me.

530
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 2: That's that's the thing about it.

531
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: Like he wants an altercation.

532
00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:25,240
Speaker 2: It doesn't that I.

533
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 3: Don't because you know why nowadays you don't have an

534
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:28,719
Speaker 3: altercation somebody ends up there.

535
00:24:28,880 --> 00:24:32,520
Speaker 4: You don't want any But you're right, doesn't that But

536
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 4: doesn't that concern you even more?

537
00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 2: With DK?

538
00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:38,040
Speaker 4: Like you know, if you watch the video, he's standing

539
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,320
Speaker 4: there with a police officer. He's standing there talking to

540
00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 4: a police officer. He clearly says something that has to

541
00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,840
Speaker 4: do with this fan because he he finishes the conversation

542
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 4: and then works his way over to the fan. Once

543
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: he works his way over to the fan, it's a

544
00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 4: totally it's a total violent like act. It's an AGGRESSI

545
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:02,399
Speaker 4: it back not that I won't say valiant. It's a

546
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:05,920
Speaker 4: very aggressive act. And what it is that he did.

547
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:07,439
Speaker 3: To go over you don't even go over him. You

548
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 3: gave him what he wanted by going over there first

549
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:13,679
Speaker 3: and foremost, I mean, whether he pulled his hair or

550
00:25:13,720 --> 00:25:15,920
Speaker 3: hit him or whatever he did to him, you would

551
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:17,840
Speaker 3: know that guy. I don't think that was the guy's

552
00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 3: seat either. If you look at it, he's down like

553
00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 3: where there's a security person behind him. He's standing hanging

554
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:26,040
Speaker 3: over the railing in the aisle. I don't think that's

555
00:25:26,040 --> 00:25:26,920
Speaker 3: where he was sitting.

556
00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 4: And so no one reacted to what the guy said,

557
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:32,480
Speaker 4: so I don't think there was He didn't say anything

558
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:34,120
Speaker 4: crazy out his mouth because.

559
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,480
Speaker 3: He said he was making fun of his first.

560
00:25:36,160 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 4: Real name, right, yeah, right, I'm not going like, why

561
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 4: are you going to grab somebody by their hands.

562
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:44,760
Speaker 1: It's like you remember when when Miles Garrett clubbed Mason

563
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 1: Rudolph over the head with the helmet and then afterwards said,

564
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:49,879
Speaker 1: well there's a racial slur yelled and nobody heard it,

565
00:25:49,960 --> 00:25:51,879
Speaker 1: Like there were people there and nobody heard it, Like

566
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think he said but the guy.

567
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: But that was still like there were people fighting.

568
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 3: The My hecking back in the day was kind of fun.

569
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 3: Like I remember one time we went to a baseball

570
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:06,040
Speaker 3: game here and we had a few afternoon in the

571
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:08,840
Speaker 3: spring training and the Braves were playing down in Fort

572
00:26:08,880 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 3: Lauderdale and Ozzie Virgil was a player on the Braves

573
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: back then, and he struck out and he was walking

574
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,160
Speaker 3: over and I'm like, hey, Ozzie, you know any realtors

575
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,400
Speaker 3: in Richmond, because that's where they're triple agents.

576
00:26:21,320 --> 00:26:24,680
Speaker 1: That's rupeete. Yes, I was trying to make the team.

577
00:26:25,280 --> 00:26:26,760
Speaker 1: You gotta clown them like that. You ought to be

578
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: ashamed of yourself. Hey, let me ask you this before

579
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 1: we let you go. We're going to be talking to

580
00:26:31,720 --> 00:26:35,199
Speaker 1: you next Monday. It's Black Monday yearly tradition. That's not

581
00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 1: good news for coaches in the NFL. Do you have

582
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:42,680
Speaker 1: one or two potential surprising coaching casualties that could take

583
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: place on Monday?

584
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:47,080
Speaker 3: I don't know if surprising surprising is the word, but

585
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 3: you know what, if the Bucks don't make the playoffs, Yeah,

586
00:26:50,400 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 3: there's one. I mean, if they don't make the playoffs,

587
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:54,280
Speaker 3: I think Todd Bowles could be in trouble, even though

588
00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 3: he got a contract extension last year. And then you

589
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,359
Speaker 3: know what happens with Zach Taylor. I think that's another

590
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,439
Speaker 3: one to keep an eye on as well. You know,

591
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 3: they keep saying that they're not going to fire him,

592
00:27:04,600 --> 00:27:07,040
Speaker 3: but we'll see. Yeah, So I think those are two.

593
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 3: You know what happens with McDaniel they wanted to keep them.

594
00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 3: He made a little run, went rotten for a couple

595
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,920
Speaker 3: of weeks anyone again, So I think ultimately they might

596
00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:18,000
Speaker 3: decide to keep him. The bad dues with that, though,

597
00:27:18,440 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 3: they're going to hire a general manager. So if you

598
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 3: hire a general manager, you're stuck with Mike McDaniel as

599
00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,119
Speaker 3: your guy, at least for a year. I mean that

600
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 3: that's that's a tough situation to take over a job

601
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,639
Speaker 3: unless you're one of his guys. And then the reality is,

602
00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:31,960
Speaker 3: if you're hiring a guy that likes Mike McDaniel, you're

603
00:27:31,960 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 3: not hiring might not be hiring the best guy for

604
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:35,800
Speaker 3: the organization to run it. So I think they have

605
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: a problem in Miami if they keep them.

606
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,919

Speaker 3: At uh, it's good at everything. Let's go.

678
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,800
Speaker 2: Okay, what's to get this?

679
00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:12,440
Speaker 3: So?

680
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:17,120
Speaker 1: Indean, I'm curious though, at this point of the year,

681
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:22,000
Speaker 1: how would you assess the year from an officiating standpoint? Like,

682
00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 1: because obviously you know fans are going to complain. You

683
00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:25,920
Speaker 1: hear it all the time on social media and see

684
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: it all the time, But like, how would you assess

685
00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: the year from an officiating standpoint, how they've done well.

686
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 7: Look, the narrative, and the narrative is always the same.

687
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 7: It's it's it's the officiating is getting worse. The scrutiny

688
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 7: is never it's going to continue to increase and in

689
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:49,040
Speaker 7: every game, and there's so much riding on it, and

690
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,840
Speaker 7: and not just from a competitive standpoint. We've got gambling,

691
00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:55,240
Speaker 7: and we've got fantasy, We've got everybody is so you know,

692
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 7: locked in on every every play. But from a at

693
00:32:02,040 --> 00:32:04,440
Speaker 7: least from an informed perspective, in terms of the time

694
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,400
Speaker 7: that I've spent, the people that I've been around and

695
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 7: understanding the game from that side, it isn't as good

696
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 7: as it should be. It really isn't. And I think

697
00:32:12,720 --> 00:32:15,760
Speaker 7: the on field officials are struggling in some areas. I

698
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 7: think replay is struggling in some areas, and you certainly

699
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,600
Speaker 7: don't want that going into the playoffs. And that's going

700
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:24,720
Speaker 7: to be and you you know, the hope always is

701
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 7: that with the playoffs you narrow the pool of people involved.

702
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:30,760
Speaker 7: You know, there's one game at a time, you're going

703
00:32:30,800 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 7: to have less officials, your higher highest rated officials working replay. Again,

704
00:32:36,640 --> 00:32:39,200
Speaker 7: with one game going on at a time. Don't if

705
00:32:39,200 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 7: your focus isn't on four or five different games, you

706
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:47,200
Speaker 7: hope that you don't have any issues. And but again, overall,

707
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 7: I don't think it was a great year. I think

708
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 7: there's some things that need some improvement. And that's kind

709
00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 7: of you know, just gramat with it.

710
00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:55,800
Speaker 4: Well.

711
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 8: I could sense the need for improvement through your guys

712
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 8: videos that you inmight you deed so I could I

713
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 8: could give you. I guess I'll throw out a list

714
00:33:04,840 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 8: of plays at some point here with you. But I

715
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,680
Speaker 8: do want to ask this, why not add another official

716
00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,720
Speaker 8: if they're having a hard time seeing it on the

717
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:14,280
Speaker 8: field in real real time. I know you guys in

718
00:33:14,320 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 8: the past have been like, oh, they don't need it

719
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 8: whatever else, But I feel like just at a college

720
00:33:19,080 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 8: has it, well, why not add an additional official on

721
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,440
Speaker 8: the field in the NFL too, Yeah.

722
00:33:24,280 --> 00:33:27,160
Speaker 7: We looked at that ten fifteen years ago, and I

723
00:33:27,160 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 7: think I think spacing and the location of the official

724
00:33:31,800 --> 00:33:35,160
Speaker 7: was always a challenge. They moved the umpire was the

725
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:38,840
Speaker 7: traditional position where college still has that umpire in the

726
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:43,120
Speaker 7: defensive backfield kind of like a linebacker level, maybe a

727
00:33:43,160 --> 00:33:46,120
Speaker 7: little deeper now, and they moved. They moved that that

728
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:48,600
Speaker 7: umpire out of there for safety reasons. So it's hard

729
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 7: to say, Okay, well the game's safer, we can move

730
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,760
Speaker 7: you back in there. You know, you were seeing a

731
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:54,840
Speaker 7: lot of crossing routes, a lot of a lot of

732
00:33:54,840 --> 00:33:58,000
Speaker 7: things that were happening where that umpire was getting, you know,

733
00:33:58,040 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 7: getting in the way, and a lot of traffic. And

734
00:34:00,600 --> 00:34:03,680
Speaker 7: I think that ultimately where to put that official. I

735
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:06,400
Speaker 7: think there was a concern with the committee, Okay, an

736
00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:08,400
Speaker 7: extra set of eyes. Are we going to get more flags?

737
00:34:08,400 --> 00:34:12,240
Speaker 7: Do we need more flags than the game? It's it's

738
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,400
Speaker 7: I can kind of see both sides of it, and

739
00:34:14,920 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 7: I think that's one of those you know, college with

740
00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 7: the eighth official, it's kind of been more of just

741
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,839
Speaker 7: like a ball spot or pace because the college game,

742
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:27,160
Speaker 7: from a tempo standpoint is so much faster than the NFL,

743
00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 7: and they felt they needed that additional initial body to

744
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:33,520
Speaker 7: keep up with the pace. So I think the NFL

745
00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 7: has gone the other route where where it's not it's

746
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 7: a replay issue and we got it, we got it.

747
00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,399
Speaker 7: We need replay to fix everything. And I'm not sure

748
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,000
Speaker 7: that's the right approach either, because we just can't review

749
00:34:43,200 --> 00:34:47,279
Speaker 7: every single thing, and so I'm sure those conversations will

750
00:34:47,320 --> 00:34:49,560
Speaker 7: continue with it, whether it's full time officials, whether it's

751
00:34:49,600 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 7: an eighth official. But again, I think it comes down

752
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 7: to it comes down to teaching and training and consistency

753
00:34:56,080 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 7: and that messaging, which which really the officiating department just

754
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 7: had to continue to work at.

755
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 4: Dan are is holding? Is holding getting redefined in the league?

756
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,319
Speaker 4: And I don't know if I see it as much

757
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 4: in college, but is it getting redefined in in the league, Like,

758
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:21,400
Speaker 4: for instance, a pass rusher. I've seen more than my

759
00:35:21,520 --> 00:35:23,800
Speaker 4: fair share of pass rushers.

760
00:35:23,719 --> 00:35:26,480
Speaker 2: Getting pulled to the ground. I've seen.

761
00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:33,840
Speaker 4: Possible tacklers getting impeded from the runner by a clear,

762
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:39,319
Speaker 4: blatant hold of some sort impeding them. Is it just

763
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:44,719
Speaker 4: getting redefined in terms of what a hold is versus

764
00:35:44,840 --> 00:35:47,720
Speaker 4: you know what, like you know what's being called versus

765
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:48,880
Speaker 4: what's not being called.

766
00:35:50,520 --> 00:35:51,200
Speaker 3: Well, from what.

767
00:35:51,120 --> 00:35:53,399
Speaker 7: I've seen and look officiating the part they put out

768
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:56,359
Speaker 7: videos every week, we get access to those videos. Those

769
00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:59,000
Speaker 7: videos go to the clubs, they go to the officials

770
00:35:58,680 --> 00:36:02,360
Speaker 7: and they'll talk about some things like holding or past

771
00:36:02,400 --> 00:36:07,800
Speaker 7: appearence or rules rules things. So holding hasn'to my knowledge

772
00:36:07,840 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 7: hasn't been redefined. What what what is holding? The definition

773
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,400
Speaker 7: of holding, how they want the officials to call holding

774
00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:18,680
Speaker 7: hasn't changed. I do think there's there's an overall sense

775
00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:22,960
Speaker 7: of and this has been kind of happening percolating the

776
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:27,320
Speaker 7: last couple of years, is they they don't want games

777
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 7: with a ton of fouls. So so you want it

778
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:31,600
Speaker 7: to be clear and obvious. And I'm not saying that's

779
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,440
Speaker 7: necessarily a bad thing. You don't want to be overly technical.

780
00:36:35,000 --> 00:36:37,279
Speaker 7: But if you keep preaching that and you keep well,

781
00:36:37,280 --> 00:36:38,600
Speaker 7: we can't have a lot of flags, we have a

782
00:36:38,920 --> 00:36:40,560
Speaker 7: lot of flags, then there's going to be plays where

783
00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:42,879
Speaker 7: officials just you know, they see it, they go wow

784
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:45,840
Speaker 7: that I think that's foult. But I'm not going to

785
00:36:45,920 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 7: you know, I got this in the back of my

786
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,239
Speaker 7: mind that we can't we don't want a whole bunch

787
00:36:49,239 --> 00:36:51,080
Speaker 7: of flags in the game. So I'm gonna I'm going

788
00:36:51,120 --> 00:36:53,200
Speaker 7: to keep it in my pocket. I think that might

789
00:36:53,239 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 7: be happening. Look, takedowns, those have to be called. There's

790
00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,120
Speaker 7: there's debatable ones where you know, was there restriction and

791
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 7: you know, did the did the offensive lineman or whoever

792
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:07,560
Speaker 7: it is, did they did they really restrict that defender?

793
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:09,719
Speaker 7: Did they have good seed? Did they say square? Those

794
00:37:09,760 --> 00:37:13,200
Speaker 7: types of things. But the big takedowns, the big the

795
00:37:13,239 --> 00:37:16,520
Speaker 7: bear hugs, the hook, the hooks, those types of things,

796
00:37:16,520 --> 00:37:17,760
Speaker 7: they both have.

797
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 2: To be called.

798
00:37:19,200 --> 00:37:21,799
Speaker 1: Dean Blandino joining us here on Fox Sports Radio, Fox

799
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,840
Speaker 1: Sports NFL college football rules analysts get them on X

800
00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:29,759
Speaker 1: at Dean Blandino. Who's the best crew, like at this

801
00:37:29,920 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: point that you've seen this year? If I'm one of

802
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 1: those paranoid fans always worried about, well they're out to

803
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,759
Speaker 1: get us whatnot, if you see this crew or this

804
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: official calling your game, you can feel good that they're

805
00:37:41,719 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: at least going to get majority of the time the call, right.

806
00:37:46,040 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I think each crew has strengths and weaknesses.

807
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:50,840
Speaker 7: You know, you always look at them at the referee.

808
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,000
Speaker 7: The referee really sets its tone. That's the quarterback. You know,

809
00:37:55,000 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 7: when I look at those those referees, Bill Vinovich, Checkers

810
00:38:00,560 --> 00:38:02,600
Speaker 7: does a great job on Torbert, I think does a

811
00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 7: great job. But every crew, and a lot of these

812
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 7: crews they've been you know, once they get to the postseason,

813
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 7: it's not the same crew that you'll see during the

814
00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,960
Speaker 7: regular season. Those like like I said, it's the highest

815
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,280
Speaker 7: rated officials at each position. They'll be they'll move them around.

816
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,759
Speaker 7: There will be some continuity. It's not I don't think

817
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,279
Speaker 7: we'll see a crew that is brand new in terms

818
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,000
Speaker 7: of all seven officials who haven't worked together, so there'll

819
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:31,040
Speaker 7: be some continuity. Maybe it's maybe it's three officials, maybe

820
00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:33,120
Speaker 7: even four officials that that have been on the same

821
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 7: crew during the regular season. But these crews are going

822
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:37,759
Speaker 7: to change during during the postseason, so it's hard to

823
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,720
Speaker 7: kind of say that that crew is is the best crew.

824
00:38:41,800 --> 00:38:45,279
Speaker 7: I think the referee really it starts there, and I

825
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,840
Speaker 7: think we'll see the best referees in the postseason. And

826
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 7: hopefully you don't have any of these, you know, some

827
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 7: of these issues we've seen during the regular season.

828
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:56,320
Speaker 8: Do you know, want to ask you about a defensive

829
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:59,840
Speaker 8: pass interference? But when a ball seems like it was

830
00:38:59,880 --> 00:39:02,680
Speaker 8: a catchable. There was a play in the Broncos Chiefs game.

831
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 8: I believe patz Artana was the player called with with

832
00:39:05,960 --> 00:39:09,920
Speaker 8: DPI in this case. Just help me understand, like how

833
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:14,040
Speaker 8: far out of bounds or how high or because that

834
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:16,120
Speaker 8: was when I looked at and I go, okay, that

835
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:20,480
Speaker 8: wasn't at all catchable and yet I understand what I

836
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 8: took place on the field, But at what point of

837
00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:24,880
Speaker 8: the officials go, yeah, okay, there's no chance of the

838
00:39:24,880 --> 00:39:25,640
Speaker 8: receiver getting that.

839
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:26,680
Speaker 2: Yeah.

840
00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:30,160
Speaker 7: I think I think this concept of uncatchable, it's like

841
00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:34,640
Speaker 7: it's like what what unketchable is in reality and how

842
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 7: it's applied for the rule in the NFL or not

843
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,680
Speaker 7: the same, Like there's gonna be balls, what you're gonna say,

844
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,400
Speaker 7: there's no way you could have caught that. But the

845
00:39:44,400 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 7: philosophy has always been that these are you know, these

846
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,400
Speaker 7: are tremendous athletes to assume that they can get to

847
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:54,000
Speaker 7: the football, assume that they can make that play, and

848
00:39:54,040 --> 00:39:57,399
Speaker 7: it has to be really above and beyond, Like there's

849
00:39:57,440 --> 00:40:00,239
Speaker 7: some guidelines in terms of you know, if you've if

850
00:40:00,719 --> 00:40:03,279
Speaker 7: the receivers outside the numbers in the balls front over

851
00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 7: their heads, it's how high you know, how if you

852
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:09,520
Speaker 7: airmail it into the fifth row, that's not catchable. And

853
00:40:09,560 --> 00:40:11,800
Speaker 7: I think they use the sideline. If it lands in

854
00:40:11,840 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 7: the white that's typically you know, that six foot boarder,

855
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:17,400
Speaker 7: that's typically going to be considered catchable if it's somewhere

856
00:40:17,400 --> 00:40:21,080
Speaker 7: in the bench area. Now it starts to become closer

857
00:40:21,120 --> 00:40:23,280
Speaker 7: to Hey, he couldn't have made a play on the ball.

858
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:26,399
Speaker 7: It's so subjective it is, and you're going to lean

859
00:40:26,400 --> 00:40:28,720
Speaker 7: toward making you catchable. So I think that's what leads

860
00:40:28,760 --> 00:40:30,600
Speaker 7: to some of these plays where you go, wow, that

861
00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:33,440
Speaker 7: I don't think he could have caught that. But but

862
00:40:33,560 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 7: the way it's applied, they're gonna they're going to give

863
00:40:35,600 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 7: the receiver the benefit of the doubt.

864
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:39,520
Speaker 2: I'm good.

865
00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:43,160
Speaker 4: I know you get tired of answering questions about you know,

866
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:44,839
Speaker 4: obviously what the rules are.

867
00:40:44,960 --> 00:40:47,439
Speaker 1: I mean sorry, I mean you can ask me about

868
00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:47,960
