00:00:30,160 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: heard him on radio yesterday. I want to talk about

10
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 1: what he saw from his Hawks Seahawks Jay Still who

11
00:00:36,720 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 1: liked me a Charger fan, So hey, we're want to

12
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,040
Speaker 1: know and in a division play and off for the

13
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,640
Speaker 1: rest of the weekend and getting all healed up. That

14
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 1: stuff was great. And then of course you got your

15
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: boy here who Now I get two teams and both

16
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,000
Speaker 1: teams want to know, and so is my fantasy team.

17
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: That's all want to know as well. So we're all

18
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:03,080
Speaker 1: we're all good. We'll get to the Bills come back

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: against the Ravens in a second. We'll get to the

20
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:12,080
Speaker 1: Lions getting dismembered and dismantled by the Packers in a second, Okay,

21
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 1: but I do need to pat myself on the back.

22
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: Chase two and Dan Byer. We've been together long enough

23
00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 1: that you remember a couple of years ago, there was

24
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:30,360
Speaker 1: this Herbert versus Tua thing, right, Herbert versus Tua. Now

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: it was mainly mainly Emmanuel Acho and others calling out

26
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 1: justin Herbert as what was it? A social media quarterback,

27
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,280
Speaker 1: a social media sensation. And the idea wasn't that he

28
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:45,480
Speaker 1: was on social media, is that social media likes him

29
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: more than the reality of who he is quarterback. And

30
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 1: the thing was, hey, Tua Tua is really.

31
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 2: The better quarterback.

32
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: And not only did I believe that was laughable at

33
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 1: the time, they actually played against each other on Monday

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,400
Speaker 1: Night football. I went to that game with my son

35
00:02:06,160 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: and I came back and I think also as steven

36
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 1: A called out Herbert as well at the time, and

37
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,799
Speaker 1: I went to that game and Tyreek Hill made two

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,840
Speaker 1: unbelievable plays in the first half. Otherwise it's non competitive.

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: Was mostly a non competitive game. And the takeaway, very

40
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:27,480
Speaker 1: very simply was, if you think those two players are

41
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: anywhere in the same solar system, you haven't actually watched football.

42
00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: You haven't actually watched football, So knowing that, understanding that

43
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: if you've now watched week one, and I don't want

44
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 1: most opinions have to be willing to evolve or change.

45
00:02:52,160 --> 00:02:55,960
Speaker 1: Because if there's one thing we've learned about early season NFL,

46
00:02:56,639 --> 00:03:01,560
Speaker 1: it's whatever you saw this weekend, very very Normally, half

47
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: the teams will look completely different week two, sometimes for

48
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:05,920
Speaker 1: the better, sometimes.

49
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:05,919
Speaker 2: For the worse.

50
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:11,519
Speaker 1: But we do have I believe enough data to tell

51
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: you that I think McDaniel's going to get fired this year.

52
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,880
Speaker 1: He was my wasn't he my first pick? Jay Stu

53
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: on our hot seat list last week? By the way,

54
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:26,560
Speaker 1: congratulations to Jason Stewart. He gave you the Ja Stue

55
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,840
Speaker 1: team parlay. They both hit over the weekend. So on

56
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,720
Speaker 1: Fridays listen to Jay Stu both of his hit this weekend.

57
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 1: Wasn't Mike McDaniel my pick? I believe that was my pick?

58
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 2: Bier would know Byer does the games remember this?

59
00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:40,839
Speaker 1: Well?

60
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:41,119
Speaker 2: Yeah?

61
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 3: I mean he had the shortest odds. I know you

62
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:45,400
Speaker 3: want to take the victory lapdug, but it was two

63
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 3: to one that McDaniel was the first coach to be fired.

64
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: Is there anybody in this room that would now take

65
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 1: Tua over justin Herbert, I don't.

66
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,640
Speaker 2: Think that that's been that way in a while.

67
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 1: I agree, I agree, but now it's like there's just

68
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 1: no way, and there's like they picked the wrong horse,

69
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: that's it. And they they've tried to put him in

70
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 1: the perfect situation, and that perfect situation continues to be

71
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: less perfect because you can only provide so much space

72
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:25,600
Speaker 1: and timing for a guy for a period of time

73
00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:31,640
Speaker 1: for everybody kind of figures it out. I'm not saying

74
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: to a stinks, but I think he it's gonna be

75
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:37,799
Speaker 1: a tough year for him as they're trying to figure

76
00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: out how to get the ball to Tyreek Hill in

77
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: space and others have figured out how to take that away.

78
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Hill is frustrated, and Tua doesn't look like he has

79
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,919
Speaker 1: the ability to elevate a team if he can't do

80
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,039
Speaker 1: it on time and on target, can't do it on

81
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: his own, Herbert does. Okay, let's get to last night's

82
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:03,159
Speaker 1: Comeback Buyer. What time do you click off for the

92
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: Now I got to get ready for tomorrow, I got

93

Speaker 1: to go to bed, or did you watch the entire thing? No?

94
00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:38,520
Speaker 3: I watch the entire thing. It's one of the advantages

95
00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 3: you have on being the West Coast because you don't

96
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,720
Speaker 3: have to, you know, game into like eight thirty ish

97
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 3: or something.

98
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,160
Speaker 1: So I was on the West Coast, Okay. I was

99
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:51,520
Speaker 1: out at a bar and restaurant and literally five minutes

100
00:05:51,560 --> 00:05:54,640
Speaker 1: to go, they were down what fifteen points? I was

101
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: like forty to twenty five, and there was a group

102
00:05:57,880 --> 00:05:59,720
Speaker 1: that I was kind of watching over their shoulder on

103
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:04,360
Speaker 1: Beautiful TV, and everybody collectively when the Ravens scored the

104
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,800
Speaker 1: touchdown to give him forty was like, that's it. That's

105
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: all not even pay attention to anymore. That's literally what happened.

106
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:15,520
Speaker 1: And then I get back last night and I look

107
00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,599
Speaker 1: at my phone and you guys are on the group text,

108
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:19,080
Speaker 1: and I'm like, well, I don't even know what happened.

109
00:06:19,320 --> 00:06:23,200
Speaker 1: So that to go back and watch. There's a long day,

110
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: a long weekend of watching a ton of football. Here

111
00:06:27,200 --> 00:06:30,800
Speaker 1: here's Josh Allen. He had a message to fans that

112
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:32,400
Speaker 1: left the stadium early.

113
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 4: Our team didn't quit.

114
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:37,239
Speaker 5: I mean, I think there's people that left the stadium

115
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 5: that's okay, We'll be fine, but have some fight next time.

116
00:06:41,320 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 1: Here's Josh Allen on how they came back and won.

117
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 5: They took everybody there. I'm just proud of our team

118
00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:48,320
Speaker 5: for staying in it. No one on the sideline blinked.

119
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,280
Speaker 5: I mean, down fifteen points whenever we were with five

120
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:55,360
Speaker 5: six minutes left, staying with it. Fans leaving, you know,

121
00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 5: the stadium. You know, you gotta play this game for

122
00:06:57,240 --> 00:06:59,120
Speaker 5: sixty minutes. And that's that's a really good outfit that

123
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:02,680
Speaker 5: we just played. And you know, God willing we take

124
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:05,000
Speaker 5: care of business how we're supposed to and how we

125
00:07:05,040 --> 00:07:06,800
Speaker 5: think we will. You know, it's probably a team we'll

126
00:07:06,800 --> 00:07:09,440
Speaker 5: see again. So you know they're they're a greatly coached team.

127
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 5: Hats off to them for having a really good game plan.

128
00:07:12,120 --> 00:07:14,000
Speaker 5: But you know, gotta were stuck in there, and I'm

129
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:14,720
Speaker 5: just proud of our guys.

130
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:16,840
Speaker 1: Doug Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. It's a

131
00:07:16,840 --> 00:07:20,920
Speaker 1: little counterintuitive that a team that can run the football

132
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,360
Speaker 1: with Derrick Henry, can run the football with Lamar Jackson,

133
00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 1: can give up that level of lead, right, because the

134
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: old adage you have a lead, well, that's a running team.

135
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 1: They know what they're doing and they just run it

136
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,400
Speaker 1: down your throat and they have two incredible options.

137
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:35,720
Speaker 2: Right.

138
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 1: Arguably, or maybe inarguably, the greatest running quarterback of all

139
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: time in Lamar Jackson and Derrick Henry has been, if

140
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: not the best running back in the league. In any

141
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:49,520
Speaker 1: conversation of the best running back in the league, what

142
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 1: five last five to seven years? Okay, so you have

143
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: those two, a good offensive line, the other team's got

144
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: to be tired. Defense been on the field of bunch.

145
00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:04,560
Speaker 1: Games should be over. I didn't know this until after

146
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 1: the comeback and win that John Harball his teams had

147
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 1: suffered more comebacks than any other coach in the NFL.

148
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Here's Harball on what happened.

149
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 6: Very disappointing. We're just gonna have to regroup and get

150
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,480
Speaker 6: ready to go play a long season. We've got sixteen

151
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 6: games in front of us, good football team, tough environment. Obviously,

152
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:25,240
Speaker 6: we did many good things, but we didn't play well

153
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 6: at the end. Two big situations. The fourth down play,

154
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,840
Speaker 6: I mean, that's kind of a play that you don't

155
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 6: really expect to happen. I mean, it was pretty pretty

156
00:08:33,679 --> 00:08:37,600
Speaker 6: lucky play, but they made it between the scrambles. Josh

157
00:08:37,640 --> 00:08:39,920
Speaker 6: Allen played a great game obviously, especially at the end

158
00:08:40,559 --> 00:08:44,079
Speaker 6: in the fourth quarter to make those plays. Scramble plays,

159
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 6: extended extended completions, and then a couple big pass plays.

160
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:53,720
Speaker 6: So that's it. We're disappointed, but we'll be fine.

161
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think there's there's a couple different

162
00:08:56,320 --> 00:09:00,240
Speaker 1: parts to it. Remember after getting up forty to twenty five,

163
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: when I clicked it off, it was because the Bill's

164
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,600
Speaker 1: punted on the next possession. It's five plays and they punted, okay,

165
00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: But then it was the Ravens who ran the ball,

166
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:13,120
Speaker 1: you know, twice in a row, then had a penalty okay,

167
00:09:13,559 --> 00:09:16,600
Speaker 1: then threw the ball and then had had the punt

168
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: it again. But what leads to every comeback in baseball,

169
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: every comeback in baseball feels the same leadoff walk right.

170
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: Every comeback in basketball, okay, feels like feels the same,

171
00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: like a couple of threes and a couple of turnovers,

172
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,880
Speaker 1: a couple of empty possessions and some momentum players. In football,

173
00:09:44,200 --> 00:09:48,240
Speaker 1: a turnover, especially a fumble, is almost always what leads

174
00:09:48,280 --> 00:09:52,920
Speaker 1: to these comebacks. And of all guys, it's a Derrick Henry,

175
00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 1: a running back who he's a big, old strong dude.

176
00:09:55,920 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: The last thing you'd expect him to fumble, and he did.

177
00:09:58,000 --> 00:09:59,760
Speaker 1: Here's Derrick Henry on the fumble.

178
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:02,080
Speaker 7: Well, first of.

179
00:10:02,080 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 8: All, I mean I gotta take care of the ball

180
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,880
Speaker 8: till my teammates at the game put the boss on me.

181
00:10:06,360 --> 00:10:09,040
Speaker 8: I own it like a man. You know, we have

182
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:10,920
Speaker 8: decided taking care of the ball since we since we

183
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,040
Speaker 8: got bashed. It's a big gamness, especially in all them

184
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 8: running back taking care of football, keep it high and

185
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:18,880
Speaker 8: tighten like a like a days ago. And they made

186
00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:21,319
Speaker 8: a play. But you know, I put his boss on me.

187
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:23,439
Speaker 8: I take care of the ball by it to be

188
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:24,040
Speaker 8: a different.

189
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: Situation for me.

190
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 8: But as far as the offense, we've just got to

191
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 8: ask you and.

192
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,199
Speaker 2: We didn't do as well.

193
00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 8: You know, at the end. So we just got to

194
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:32,480
Speaker 8: look at the field and correctly.

195
00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: Now, now, look there's a miracle fourth down catch, right,

196
00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: that also happens. I mean, think of think of Brady

197
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: in the Super Bowl down twenty eight to three, right,

198
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:46,600
Speaker 1: what leads to it? Turnovers and oh yeah, by the way,

199
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Julian Edelman catching catching a football in a once in

200
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: a lifetime catch. So there's how you come back. Who

201
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:05,320
Speaker 1: the players are that changes what's almost always the turnover miracle,

202
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: like one incredible momentum shifting miracle play, and and then

203
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,160
Speaker 1: the offense becomes you know, goes into a shell and

204
00:11:16,200 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: becomes the turtle. Because yes there was a fumble, yes

205
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: that changed everything in the game, but the Ravens had

206
00:11:23,040 --> 00:11:26,200
Speaker 1: two other possessions where three and out and three and

207
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:32,760
Speaker 1: out in the fourth quarter. You gotta keep playing right,

208
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 1: And I'm not being critical of Harbaugh. Look, first year

209
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:40,600
Speaker 1: is a Division one head Ben's coach. You know, up

210
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 1: fourteen to Youngstown, up up fourteen late to Oakland, Like

211
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: we've suffered these four I know what happens. I've you

212
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: feel that, and the NFL it's almost always a turnover,

213
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: usually a fumble, a miracle play, and then your offense

214
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:06,160
Speaker 1: just gets so conservative that the defense salivates, gets a stop,

215
00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: and then you got a Josh Allen who's a special,

216
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,600
Speaker 1: special player. The last part to it is, I understand

217
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: Josh Allen has not gotten to a Super Bowl yet.

218
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:21,320
Speaker 1: I understand that Josh Allen has at times try to

219
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:25,520
Speaker 1: do things too much on his own. I do understand

220
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 1: also that if we're honest with ourselves, they were still

221
00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: down forty to twenty five, right, Like, let's not lose

222
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,320
Speaker 1: track of most of the game was dominated by the

223
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: Ravens offense. But there's no additional level of clutchness in

224
00:12:40,679 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: your ability to come back. And you're like, well, he

225
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:44,560
Speaker 1: hasn't done the playoffs. Yes he has. When they lost

226
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:46,200
Speaker 1: to the Chiefs a couple of years ago and they

227
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: had the thirteen second you know, comeback drive, kick the

228
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,600
Speaker 1: field goal and win an overtime, he played a perfect

229
00:12:53,640 --> 00:12:57,600
Speaker 1: game under an immense amount of pressure as a player

230
00:12:59,080 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 1: last night. There's a immense amount of pressure on him

231
00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:05,680
Speaker 1: to deliver in the clutch, and he did. It doesn't

232
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:07,840
Speaker 1: mean that he's the clutchest player in the NFL from

233
00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: week one, and I do reserve the right to go Hey,

234
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: maybe the fact that the Ravens were up means the

235
00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,360
Speaker 1: Ravens are that much better. They just went in the

236
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,360
Speaker 1: turtle in the shell and that's why they lost. All

237
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:23,600
Speaker 1: those things are possible, But I've never understood the mentality

238
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,360
Speaker 1: of fans, the mentality of broadcasters to call out the

239
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: clutches of a player who's shown you that they can

240
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: in fact be clutched, they can in fact pull off miracles.

241
00:13:33,840 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: Sometimes it's those miracles, those comebacks, those clutch performances. They

242
00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:43,079
Speaker 1: may not always come out in an AFC championship game

243
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 1: or an AFC playoff game. His actually has, but you can't.

244
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,520
Speaker 1: I just struggle with the mentality that you can only

245
00:13:50,520 --> 00:13:53,840
Speaker 1: be clutching the playoffs, not clutching the regular season. Regular

246
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,160
Speaker 1: season clutch doesn't count. Just some food for thought for you.

247
00:13:57,360 --> 00:13:59,520

Speaker 1: but we make sure we have the most reputable people,

254
00:14:22,160 --> 00:14:24,640
Speaker 1: especially in football. No one better than Tom te LESCo

255
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:27,480
Speaker 1: eleven years GM with the Chargers San Diego in LA

256
00:14:27,520 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: and of course last year with the Las Vegas Raiders.

257
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: Kind of to spend some time with us every week

258
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: here on the show. Okay, first, let me just get

259
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: to the actual performance in the game. We did get

260
00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: the chance to see Flacco look good. Dylan Gabriel came in,

261
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: Shador struggled. We saw Snoopuntley before he got before he

262
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 1: got released. What was your assessment of how the two

263
00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 1: rookie quarterbacks for the Browns play.

264
00:14:54,480 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 8: Well?

265
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,200
Speaker 7: I agree with you, Dylan Gabriel looked good for the

266
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 7: second game in the row. He just he can move

267
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:02,160
Speaker 7: the team. He makes quick decisions, he gets the ball

268
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:04,800
Speaker 7: out of his hand quickly. He's got pretty good zip

269
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 7: for a for a smaller quarterback. He's got good arm strength,

270
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,920
Speaker 7: which you don't see all the time with a smaller quarterback.

271
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 7: But he looked similar to what he looked in college,

272
00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 7: and that was a positive. And Shrador, you know, didn't

273
00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 7: have his best day. He played much better that the

274
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:24,080
Speaker 7: two games before. You know, he struggled there and and

275
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 7: I can see I think part of this developmental process

276
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 7: with him, was not putting him out there for that

277
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 7: two minutes drill just because some of the body language

278
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,080
Speaker 7: coming off the field after two tough series just wasn't

279
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 7: what you'd expect. You don't want your quarterback to just

280
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,400
Speaker 7: walk off the field with his head down. There's there's

281
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 7: there's gonna adversity, you know, down to down series the series.

282
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:46,520
Speaker 7: You have to handle that as a quarterback. So on

283
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,400
Speaker 7: the outset looking in, I was wondering if this was

284
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,960
Speaker 7: Kevin Stephanis saying, hey, look this this is a teaching

285
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 7: moment for you as far as how you handle the

286
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 7: lows on the field. And we're gonna let Snoop take

287
00:15:55,760 --> 00:15:58,480
Speaker 7: this last drive. But I think you can tell by

288
00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 7: the way it lined up obviously it's fly Go was

289
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:04,240
Speaker 7: the starter. Dylan Gabriel. He was drafted above Shador for

290
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 7: a reason. They must have had him ranked higher, and

291
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,400
Speaker 7: he didn't show anything in the preseason that would lead

292
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,400
Speaker 7: you to believe that he would drop in the Dutch charts.

293
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 7: You're looking at him as the two. I guess there's

294
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:16,120
Speaker 7: a three. Can you take us the wild card? I

295
00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:17,960
Speaker 7: don't know how if it's in there right now, because

296
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,479
Speaker 7: he just didn't play a lot in the preseason.

297
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:20,960
Speaker 1: Is either two?

298
00:16:21,160 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 7: Is either three? Is he someone they would move? That

299
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,280
Speaker 7: remains to be seen before Tuesday.

300
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 1: I want to make sure I state I am not

301
00:16:31,480 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 1: putting it out there. I'll tell you my own feelings

302
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:38,600
Speaker 1: in a second. I have seen other people and now

303
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:45,120
Speaker 1: there are more former players than anything saying Stefanski is

304
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: basically sabotaging shadoor right put him out there with lineman

305
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:54,320
Speaker 1: he was going to cut and didn't let him be

306
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: the hero and play the two minutes droll, which every

307
00:16:56,520 --> 00:17:00,880
Speaker 1: quarterback dreams of. Uh, is there any scenario where that's

308
00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: a possibility?

309
00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:06,679
Speaker 7: Maybe great for sports talk radio, but not in reality. No,

310
00:17:06,840 --> 00:17:10,639
Speaker 7: that's not absolutely not. I mean he's, first of all,

311
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:12,760
Speaker 7: he's a very good head coach that has a good

312
00:17:12,800 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 7: track record on the offensive side of the ball. He

313
00:17:15,040 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 7: knows what he's looking at. He's also in a situation

314
00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 7: where he has four quarterbacks he's trying to get a

315
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 7: really good look at and I know he don't need

316
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 7: as much a look at Joe Flacco, but you still

317
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:25,879
Speaker 7: want to make sure you know where he is performance

318
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 7: level is. So he had a tough challenge going into

319
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 7: training camp they get four quarterbacks enough reps, not like

320
00:17:31,040 --> 00:17:32,920
Speaker 7: to show what they can do, but to help them develop.

321
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 7: So he knows what he's doing. And yeah, no, he's

322
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 7: not out there sabotaging anything. It's just you only get

323
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:43,520
Speaker 7: so many series, and I do think he's just trying

324
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:46,520
Speaker 7: to teach these guys. And he had a rough series,

325
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 7: had a rough couple of series there, he has some

326
00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 7: great series. You know, in the first preseason game, you're

327
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:53,600
Speaker 7: going to have up and down as a rookie quarterback.

328
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:55,560
Speaker 7: That's just part of life, and part of life city

329
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:57,960
Speaker 7: and professional football is learning how to deal with that

330
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:01,159
Speaker 7: because when you're the quarterback, not only everybody, not the

331
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 7: fans and media looking at you, your teammates are looking

332
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,800
Speaker 7: at you. So you know, just you don't want to

333
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 7: see your quarterback just walking off the field after a

334
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 7: series or walking off with his head down. That I

335
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,920
Speaker 7: think it was more a teaching moment than anything else.

336
00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:20,840
Speaker 1: Does all of this noise surrounding should Doure does Does

337
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:24,920
Speaker 1: this make it if the Browns thing doesn't work? Does

338
00:18:24,920 --> 00:18:27,239
Speaker 1: it make it less likely somebody else picks him up?

339
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,400
Speaker 7: That's a good point, just because I want to say no,

340
00:18:32,520 --> 00:18:34,280
Speaker 7: But then you know, he was also drafted in the

341
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:36,160
Speaker 7: fifth round. I think some of that was just due

342
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 7: to the noise people were worried about coming in. But

343
00:18:39,640 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 7: the bottom line is he has starter talent in the NFL.

344
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:46,359
Speaker 7: Is he ready for prime time? Probably not ready quite yet,

345
00:18:47,440 --> 00:18:50,680
Speaker 7: but he has starter talent. He's got good enough arm strength,

346
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:54,480
Speaker 7: He's got good feel in the pocket that I get

347
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 7: some time more on the inconsistent level, but he can

348
00:18:58,080 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 7: feel a rush, you can get the ball out of

349
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 7: his hands, and he's relatively accurate, So he has some

350
00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 7: skills there. He's put a lot of staffs in college football,

351
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 7: but he has to adapt to the NFL game. It's

352
00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:11,919
Speaker 7: going to take some time. Certainly somebody would give an

353
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,920
Speaker 7: opportunity somewhere else. How many teams would, I'm not sure,

354
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,679
Speaker 7: just because what I said, like, he was dropped from

355
00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,200
Speaker 7: the fifth round, and really his talent level said he

356
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:21,280
Speaker 7: should have gone higher. So they're probably some teams that

357
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:22,840
Speaker 7: may be scurried off by that, But I think the

358
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 7: smarter teams see a potential, you know, potential starter down

359
00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 7: the road. Maybe not right now, but down the road.

360
00:19:28,920 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 7: It is something you have to take a look at.

361
00:19:31,359 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: Is Anthony Richardson done in Indy.

362
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:40,360
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, he's had plenty of opportunities there. They

363
00:19:40,359 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 7: say he's not, and I do believe them. They've been

364
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 7: loyal to their players, they've been loyal to him and

365
00:19:46,119 --> 00:19:49,480
Speaker 7: given them opportunities. But he may be a situation that

366
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 7: other first round pick quarterbacks have fallen into, just like

367
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:55,120
Speaker 7: Daniel Jones with the Giants. He may need a change

368
00:19:55,119 --> 00:19:58,840
Speaker 7: of scenery. That's never a bad thing, and that could

369
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,480
Speaker 7: come up. And if you look how Daniel Jones handed

370
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:04,399
Speaker 7: his process, the hand went really well. He was released

371
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 7: during the season from the Giants. It just didn't work out.

372
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,199
Speaker 7: You know, a lot of options at that point, including me.

373
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 7: I was trying to sign on to come to the

374
00:20:11,600 --> 00:20:13,760
Speaker 7: active roster with the Raiders, so he'd give us another

375
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,840
Speaker 7: option as a starting quarterback. And he decided to sign

376
00:20:16,840 --> 00:20:20,000
Speaker 7: on the practice squad with the Vikings to kind of rehabilitate,

377
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,080
Speaker 7: learn a little bit from Kevin O'Connell, kind of get

378
00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:25,719
Speaker 7: his kind of settle his career down a little bit,

379
00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 7: and then be a free agent at the end of

380
00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 7: the year and pick where to go to go compete

381
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:30,960
Speaker 7: for a job. He picked the right spot. Once the

382
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 7: Colts competed for a job and won the job, so

383
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,000
Speaker 7: Richison could be in that same boat eventually. But I

384
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 7: do believe it when they say that he'll get another

385
00:20:41,040 --> 00:20:44,600
Speaker 7: opportunity there. He's got a lot of talent. His ceiling's

386
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 7: really high. It's just the consistency level. It's just really

387
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:49,000
Speaker 7: low right now. And it's no different than what he

388
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:52,600
Speaker 7: showed in college. There were high, very high high and

389
00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 7: low lows, and you're seeing the same thing at this level.

390
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:57,159
Speaker 7: And there are also injuries at the college level, so

391
00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:00,080
Speaker 7: you're seeing a lot of the same things. But I

392
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 7: think he'll get another opportunity there to show what he

393
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 7: can do, and I wouldn't be surprised if it comes

394
00:21:05,480 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 7: this year. With Daniel Jones, we don't know how he's

395
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 7: going to play. He's gonna be the Daniel Jones of

396
00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 7: Fables first year or the last couple of years. He's

397
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 7: also had some injury, so there's a good chance at

398
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 7: some point Richardson plays again.

399
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Stut Gottlieb Show here on Fox Sports Radio. That's the

400
00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:26,119
Speaker 1: voice of Tom to LESCo, of course, longtime show manager

401
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:28,560
Speaker 1: of the La Chargers. Last year jail manager of the

402
00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. H Terry McLaurin that deal finally gets done.

403
00:21:36,240 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: Was there anything numbers wise that was so alarming that

404
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:41,320
Speaker 1: it should have taken this log.

405
00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:45,080
Speaker 7: I guess we'll find out down the road. I mean

406
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:47,800
Speaker 7: up to ninety six billion. It could mean a lot

407
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 7: of different things, so we'll see when the numbers come in.

408
00:21:50,520 --> 00:21:53,320
Speaker 7: My guess is when it's all said and done, he'll

409
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 7: be right in that top ten range. Not necessarily the

410
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 7: top five, but top ten, which I think is a

411
00:21:57,560 --> 00:22:01,119
Speaker 7: good spot. You'll get some nice deserved raise. Was it

412
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 7: worth to hold in? I don't know. I don't know

413
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:06,680
Speaker 7: how the negotiations for it back and forth, but he's

414
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 7: get a pretty good raise and he's got two weeks

415
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 7: to get ready to play. That's the only thing I'm

416
00:22:12,119 --> 00:22:14,639
Speaker 7: concerned about as a receiver, and because he didn't have

417
00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 7: a full off season program he was rehabbing an ankle

418
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 7: injury and then no training camp. Receivers obviously the high

419
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:25,440
Speaker 7: volume running position, and you know how many stats will

420
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 7: he be able to play opening day? I mean, certainly

421
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 7: in conditioning shape, but it's just a difference between conditioning

422
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,280
Speaker 7: shape and football shape. But really glad it got done.

423
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,199
Speaker 7: This was the point where in the same thing with

424
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,119
Speaker 7: the Hendrickson deal. They need to get done now to

425
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 7: get ready for opening day, but there's some deadlines coming

426
00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:43,719
Speaker 7: up to kind and they kind of spur that. But

427
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 7: I think the numbers are kind of come in where

428
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 7: we expected it, which be right around the top ten toms.

429
00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:51,120
Speaker 1: Let's go our guest here on the Doug Gottlieb Show

430
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,800
Speaker 1: on Fox Sports Radio. What do you do with Micah Parsons? Like,

431
00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:56,119
Speaker 1: it's one thing to ask to be traded and go

432
00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 1: through all this sort of thing like laying down on

433
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: the massage table during a game, just generally acting like

434
00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:08,680
Speaker 1: an ass right, Like, what what do you do there?

435
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:11,920
Speaker 1: If you're in charge of the Cowboys? Do you how

436
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: do you handle that?

437
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:16,960
Speaker 7: This is this is real theater, you know, from the

438
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 7: outside looking in, This is totally different than the McLaurin

439
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:23,159
Speaker 7: and Hendrickson holdouts. Yeah, the laying on the table not

440
00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 7: the look you're looking for. Whether you're laying on the

441
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 7: table for thirty seconds or thirty minutes, it's just not

442
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 7: the look you're looking for. First off, They're just you

443
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,359
Speaker 7: have to have communication between yourself and the agent. And

444
00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,600
Speaker 7: I just think in this situation until the agent is

445
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 7: part of the process. I just don't see the deal

446
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,640
Speaker 7: getting done. And I know every team does it different ways.

447
00:23:42,640 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 7: I know the Cowboys have done in different ways, but

448
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:49,480
Speaker 7: in this situation, until there's direct communications and negotiation with

449
00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 7: the agent, I just don't see anything getting done. Now.

450
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,000
Speaker 7: The big thing is we move into that cut the

451
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 7: fifty three and get ready for opening Day. You know,

452
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:00,719
Speaker 7: if you're holding out and you're not there and you

453
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 7: don't play in the game, obviously you wouldn't make your

454
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,440
Speaker 7: your base salaries for that week. But if you're holding in,

455
00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:10,560
Speaker 7: you're on the active roster, and if you don't play

456
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 7: in the game, then the club would still owe you

457
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:14,679
Speaker 7: and his you know, for him, it'd be over a

458
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,240
Speaker 7: million dollars one point three million dollars for that game.

459
00:24:17,840 --> 00:24:19,480
Speaker 7: I see no way the Cowboys are going to pay

460
00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:21,480
Speaker 7: one point three million to not play in a game.

461
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:25,359
Speaker 7: So something has to break here, whether it's to get

462
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 7: the deal done or it's there's conduct detrimental for refusing

463
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 7: to play, and then you can either you can find

464
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,639
Speaker 7: the player, you can suspend them. Something's going to have

465
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:36,920
Speaker 7: to happen because he's on the active roster, he's due

466
00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:38,880
Speaker 7: to be paid week one right now, even though he's

467
00:24:38,960 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 7: not going to play. So I'd be shocked in the

468
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:44,959
Speaker 7: next seven days if there wasn't some movement one way

469
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,359
Speaker 7: or another. But it has to start with communication on

470
00:24:47,400 --> 00:24:49,640
Speaker 7: both sides, and you know, more so on the Cowboys side.

471
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:52,959
Speaker 1: It sounds like, well Stug Gottlib show here on Fox

472
00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:57,919
Speaker 1: Sports Radio, how far away is Jackson dart.

473
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:00,240
Speaker 8: Well.

474
00:25:00,280 --> 00:25:02,480
Speaker 7: I'm a big Jackson Dark fan. From the draft and

475
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,960
Speaker 7: then watching the preseason that I haven't changed my mind.

476
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 7: So yeah, I think he could go in and play

477
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,119
Speaker 7: right now at what level. He would take some lumps,

478
00:25:12,160 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 7: I mean just it's natural as a rookie quarterback. But

479
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:18,240
Speaker 7: I think he could play right now. But it's also

480
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 7: not a bad thing that he sits and waits. I mean,

481
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,040
Speaker 7: it's different for every quarterback. It's different for every situation.

482
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 7: I think Brian Daeble is definitely he's going to pick

483
00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:28,199
Speaker 7: the quarterback they can that he feels right now has

484
00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:29,960
Speaker 7: gives him the best chance to win opening day. He

485
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,640
Speaker 7: feels like, right now it's Russell Wilson. But I think

486
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,680
Speaker 7: if the time comes, whether it's September, October, November, December,

487
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,840
Speaker 7: I think Jackson'll be ready to go. I'm ready to play.

488
00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:45,639
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford starting to come like how do you handle that?

489
00:25:46,119 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 1: Where you just you have no idea. I mean, I

490
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,080
Speaker 1: guess you got Garoppolo, who's you led a team to

491
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 1: a super Bowl, But how do you handle that in

492
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:59,920
Speaker 1: terms of how much you invest in Stafford in real time?

493
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,640
Speaker 1: Like obviously I'm not telling the contractually, but yeah, what what?

494
00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,160
Speaker 1: How do you how do you handle the Stafford thing?

495
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:10,480
Speaker 7: If you're the Rams, Well, it's literally going to be

496
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 7: day by day and it sound like it's getting better

497
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 7: day by day. But as a lot of us know,

498
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 7: with back injuries and that, and if it has affects

499
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:23,399
Speaker 7: your nerves, you know, sometimes the rehab process and the

500
00:26:23,480 --> 00:26:28,639
Speaker 7: strength it comes very slowly, and so they have to

501
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,800
Speaker 7: kind of gradually start moving them in. But you have

502
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,040
Speaker 7: to also have a plan B with with Garoppolo in

503
00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:38,439
Speaker 7: case Stafford is not ready to play. So probably in

504
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,639
Speaker 7: practice with your ones, probably the backup quarterback Garppolo in

505
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:45,040
Speaker 7: this case, you'll probably take more snaps than he usually

506
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 7: would to get him ready in case he has to play,

507
00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,400
Speaker 7: which is completely fine because Stafford probably you probably don't

508
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 7: want to have him take every snap right now in practice,

509
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:56,400
Speaker 7: so they've got thirteen fourteen days ago before opening day,

510
00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 7: still have some time. But essentially, if you're the coach,

511
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,880
Speaker 7: you know you really have to get two quarterbacks ready

512
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,120
Speaker 7: to play. Sin it's just, you know, back range back

513
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 7: injuries are unpredictable. I know he has missed very he

514
00:27:07,520 --> 00:27:09,440
Speaker 7: haven't missed very much time in his career, but he's

515
00:27:09,440 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 7: had back injuries in the past. And you know, the

516
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 7: older you get, it doesn't get better. So don't have

517
00:27:15,160 --> 00:27:18,359
Speaker 7: a plan for both. But in practice you're certainly going

518
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 7: to work. Both quarterbacks are good amount.

519
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,679
Speaker 1: He's the one and only Tom Telesco. Of course, what

520
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: does he know. He's only been in professional football his

521
00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: entire professional life and been a gentle manager for twelve

522
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 1: years in the Nation Football League. Last thing, Tommy, do

523
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:39,320
Speaker 1: you like this system where it's basically like one big

524
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: cutdown or did you like the old system better?

525
00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 7: So I like this better because he gives every player

526
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:50,360
Speaker 7: a chance to compete for a job. The only hard

527
00:27:50,359 --> 00:27:53,920
Speaker 7: part about it was is administratively releasing thirty seven players

528
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 7: over a day or two. It's just it's just a

529
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,320
Speaker 7: lot of work because you want to spend enough time

530
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 7: with each player on his way out, just as a courtesy,

531
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 7: just talk to him about what he did about career

532
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 7: options moving forward. That sort of things. You want to

533
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 7: make sure you take the right time the head coach

534
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 7: to position coaches. There's a lot of time involved. But

535
00:28:12,920 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 7: I like the one cut because because everybody get a

536
00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 7: chance to show what they can do for the pre

537
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:19,880
Speaker 7: certainly for the third preseason game, you have a really

538
00:28:19,880 --> 00:28:22,399
Speaker 7: good chance to play your young guys. If you're a

539
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:24,160
Speaker 7: team that doesn't want to play their starters, it gives

540
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,320
Speaker 7: you enough players to play the third preseason game and

541
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,199
Speaker 7: give every player, especially college free agents, that when you

542
00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:32,720
Speaker 7: sign a master for the draft, part of the recruiting processes,

543
00:28:33,200 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 7: we're going to give you the whole offseason program. We're

544
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,480
Speaker 7: gonna give you all training camp in three preseason games

545
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 7: to show us what you can do. And guys need that,

546
00:28:41,400 --> 00:28:45,200
Speaker 7: and so I like this. It's just administratively you over

547
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:47,120
Speaker 7: a two day span. It's just a lot of players

548
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:49,640
Speaker 7: to let go of. Now you know roughly half will

549
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 7: come back on practice squads. But no, it's it's a process.

550
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 7: It's not fun really from players obviously, but the process

551
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 7: itself of building that initial fifty three is a very

552
00:28:58,920 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 7: enjoyable process.

553
00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: He's time to LESCo. He's built the original fifty three

554
00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: as the Gentleman, as the gentlemnasguer for twelve twelve different years,

555
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,000
Speaker 1: and just love having you, love soaking up that knowledge. Tom,

570
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:02,000
Speaker 2: Hello Doug. The game today is.

571
00:30:02,480 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 4: Big deal, Little deal, No deal.

572
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: A lot of Week one reaction here with a little

573
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,000
Speaker 3: bit more sprinkled in. We start off big deal, little

574
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 3: deal or no deal that the New York Giants are

575
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,840
Speaker 3: sticking with Russell Wilson in week two is their starting quarterback.

576
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:16,400
Speaker 2: No deal.

577
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna get to Jackson Dart at some point,

578
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,120
Speaker 1: but that that time is not. We just haven't gotten

579
00:30:25,160 --> 00:30:28,600
Speaker 1: that moment yet, right, haven't gotten to that moment yet.

580
00:30:28,680 --> 00:30:35,480
Speaker 1: So I and you heard from Tom Tolesco. He didn't

581
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: play great, but they didn't block form at all. And

582
00:30:38,840 --> 00:30:42,000
Speaker 1: Washington's defense is a real thing. I'd say, no deal.

583
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,280
Speaker 3: All right, big deal, little deal or no deal that

584
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,640
Speaker 3: after a calf injury scare, the forty nine ers gave

585
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey thirty one touches in their win against the Seahawks.

586
00:30:52,560 --> 00:30:54,560
Speaker 1: I like, I'm with you with the scare. How many

587
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 1: times we heard calf injury and then it ends up

588
00:30:56,360 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 1: being something totally.

589
00:30:57,480 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, And with Christian McCaffrey on top of that, guy

590
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 3: who's been injury prone throughout his at times throughout his career.

591
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 1: Yep, as soon as he left, as soon as he

592
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,960
Speaker 1: signed the big deal in Carolina, he became injury prone.

593
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:12,120
Speaker 3: It's crazy, yes, but uh, it was a big part

594
00:31:12,120 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 3: of their win yesterday, A big deal, little dealer, no

595
00:31:14,240 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: deal that Travis Hunter had six catches in his Jags

596
00:31:16,760 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 3: debut forty eight snaps in all in a win against Carolina.

597
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: I mean, the big thing is the win, right, big

598
00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:29,040
Speaker 1: thing is the win. But look, it's it's a it's

599
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 1: a good starting point. I'm still wondering why they chose

600
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: offense instead of defense in terms of his main focus,

601
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:38,480
Speaker 1: when somebody have told me that they thought he was

602
00:31:38,520 --> 00:31:40,800
Speaker 1: better as a cornerback than his wide receiver.

603
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,920
Speaker 3: I think I think it's some of the marketing aspect

604
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:45,320
Speaker 3: of it.

605
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:47,840
Speaker 2: I think that's.

606
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 1: Easier to market a wide receiver than it is a yeah.

607
00:31:49,920 --> 00:31:53,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, and maybe it's easier to.

608
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:53,800
Speaker 2: Adjest that way.

609
00:31:53,840 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 1: I don't hate that thought.

610
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,480
Speaker 2: I hate that thought because.

611
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 3: I mean, to take a corner second overall, you know,

612
00:32:02,400 --> 00:32:06,160
Speaker 3: would be just solely for a corner, would be I

613
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:07,200
Speaker 3: think I'm precedented.

614
00:32:07,440 --> 00:32:08,120
Speaker 2: I don't even know.

615
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:10,320
Speaker 3: I think I thought three was maybe the highest that

616
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,080
Speaker 3: a corner was ever taken. But big deal, little dealer,

617
00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 3: no deal that the Cincinnati Bengals gotta win. But Doug

618
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:22,520
Speaker 3: got off to another slow start in Cleveland. Uh, Joe Burrow, I.

619
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,880
Speaker 1: Think it's a little deal, Okay, little deal. I mean, like, look,

620
00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 1: big thing is, last year they lost so many close games,

621
00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,440
Speaker 1: especially early in the year. This one they came back

622
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 1: and won, and their defense helped them right, getting two

623
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:35,360
Speaker 1: turnovers two interceptions of Joe Placo where the defense was

624
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:39,160
Speaker 1: non existent last year. Cleveland's defense is good. By the way,

625
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:42,360
Speaker 1: how nasty was that hit on Burrow? Everyone's at that

626
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: dets Wow, you want to play quarterback in the NFL?

627
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:49,000
Speaker 3: No thanks fourteen of twenty three for one and thirteen yards.

628
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:50,200
Speaker 2: It was for Burrow.

629
00:32:50,480 --> 00:32:53,160
Speaker 1: It was pedestrian had the ball.

630
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 3: For twenty four minutes in that game. Big deal, little dealer,

631
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,400
Speaker 3: no deal that. Pete Carroll and the Raiders opened the

632
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,000
Speaker 3: season with the road win in England.

633
00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:04,520
Speaker 1: Big East coach New England. There was some big expectations

634
00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:07,240
Speaker 1: of New England and Pete Carroll went in there and

635
00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,880
Speaker 1: beat one of his former teams and look good doing it.

636
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: I think that was a big win.

637
00:33:12,320 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 3: I think it's honestly like for two teams that are

638
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: looking to do much better than they did a year

639
00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 3: before to have to go on the road win that game. Yep,

640
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:25,760
Speaker 3: it's an East Coast game. I know Vegas isn't West coast,

641
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 3: but western part of the country, eastern coast.

642
00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:32,560
Speaker 2: One o'clock Eastern times. Start. Yeah, not easy, No, I

643
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:34,040
Speaker 2: thought it was. I actually thought it was a really

644
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:34,400
Speaker 2: good win.

645
00:33:34,520 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 3: And I thought Drake may looked good in the first

646
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,480
Speaker 3: half and then in the second half maybe wasn't. So

647
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 3: there's there's a lot of growth there. But Gino Smith

648
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,680
Speaker 3: an another magnificent performance three hundred and sixty two yards

649
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:50,040
Speaker 3: and a touchdown in that Raiders victory over the Patriots.

650
00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:52,120
Speaker 3: I thought, I thought that was a big deal because

651
00:33:52,160 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 3: that's one of those coin flip games that we had

652
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 3: this weekend that ended up going the way of the

653
00:33:56,760 --> 00:33:57,280
Speaker 3: silver embody.

654
00:33:57,360 --> 00:33:57,520
Speaker 5: Yeah.

655
00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,120
Speaker 2: One more, yeah, one more, big deal.

656
00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 3: That Georgia dropped two spots in the EIGHTP pole after

657
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:03,600
Speaker 3: beating Austin p twenty eight to six.

658
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:07,120
Speaker 1: This prifty the ap pole is p P so.

659
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,760
Speaker 2: No deal, no deal. All right, that's game time.
