Hello, fuck, I of your week. 12 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:36,360 Speaker 1: Man. 13 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:40,200 Speaker 3: Has been a great week man, A very exciting weekend ahead, 14 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 3: very su slate of games that we have today. 15 00:00:43,479 --> 00:00:45,839 Speaker 1: I'm really uh looking men, I'm looking forward to all 16 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: of it. You know. 17 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,640 Speaker 2: It's funny. I wish I had your upbeat personality because 18 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm like a Debbie Downer. Really, I mean, I'm so 19 00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,480 Speaker 2: depressed right now because it's coming to an end. I 20 00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: get it. It's like a crescendo. You got the championship 21 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:00,400 Speaker 2: matchups today, you got the Super Bowl come right down 22 00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:02,640 Speaker 2: the road, and then it's over and I go nuts. Really, 23 00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:05,560 Speaker 2: I'm proposing right now, and tell me I'm crazy. I 24 00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,120 Speaker 2: can handle it. I can. I'm proposing that after the 25 00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,679 Speaker 2: Super Bowl, maybe wait a month, maybe six weeks, whatever 26 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 2: it may be, start a second season, a second season, 27 00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,119 Speaker 2: because I can't live without it. Sundays basically are reserved 28 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: for football. I know it's Monday, and it's Thursday, and 29 00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:25,320 Speaker 2: sometimes it's Saturday and around Christmas time. But after football 30 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:27,600 Speaker 2: it's kind of a void. I mean, there's really if 31 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:30,240 Speaker 2: I love basketball, I do. I love college basketball, I 32 00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 2: love the NBA, but it's not the same as football. 33 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:34,760 Speaker 2: For whatever the reason, I don't know what it is. 34 00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 2: There's something about football that makes my body tingle. That's 35 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:39,479 Speaker 2: what it's all about. 36 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,640 Speaker 3: Really, I mean, I'm glad to hear that your body's 37 00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:50,480 Speaker 3: tingling about football. It's a fantastic thing. But you got 38 00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 3: to remember, Andy, like, look, there's this season. Then the 39 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 3: off season brings us the draft and all the other things. So, yeah, 40 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,400 Speaker 3: the draft gives us an opportunity to kind of kind 41 00:02:00,400 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 3: of get it together and kind of like hope that 42 00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,120 Speaker 3: all things are going to turn out the right way. 43 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, And it's also a hope it's hope 44 00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,679 Speaker 2: for those teams that basically missed the playoffs. And look, 45 00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,959 Speaker 2: here's a situation that maybe our future will be a 46 00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:15,080 Speaker 2: lot brighter. And look, I mean it's happened. It's happening. 47 00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 2: The teams at the Detroit Lions. Boy that they hit 48 00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 2: a home run in the draft. So hey, you're probably right. 49 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 2: And before you know it, it's time. They're going to 50 00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:22,960 Speaker 2: training camp in July, and you know, it starts all 51 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 2: over again. But I think the big story, at least 52 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:29,600 Speaker 2: right now, prior to these games today is Bill Belichick. 53 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: It's gotta be the big story right now. There are 54 00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 2: two coaching openings right now in Washington and Seattle. And 55 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,480 Speaker 2: my question to you, mister Brooks, right now is why 56 00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,160 Speaker 2: would a team fire a coach or make them get out, 57 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 2: clean out his desk, draw and get out of there 58 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:46,640 Speaker 2: if you don't have an immediate replacement. I mean teams 59 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,040 Speaker 2: like Washington and Seattle. Okay, they I guess it was 60 00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,800 Speaker 2: a mutual thing, they say with Pete Carroll in Seattle. 61 00:02:52,960 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 2: But who knows he's gone. That's the point. And you 62 00:02:55,320 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: know management knew they were gonna let him go, or 63 00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:00,280 Speaker 2: he was going to go if they're let a guy go. Oh, 64 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: when you have a guy in the wings ready to 65 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 2: come in and replace him, Why why would they be 66 00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:07,480 Speaker 2: such avoid and they wait so long to hire somebody 67 00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:08,560 Speaker 2: that I don't understand. 68 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,800 Speaker 3: Well, the thing that you would like to hope for, 69 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,560 Speaker 3: there's still four teams that are playing. 70 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,200 Speaker 1: If you think about that, these are the four best 71 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:19,560 Speaker 1: teams in. 72 00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:21,800 Speaker 3: The National Football League, you would like to think that 73 00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 3: some of these coordinators and some of the coaches off 74 00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 3: of these staffs are worthy enough to be head coaching candidates. 75 00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 3: Maybe both franchises that you're talking about are waiting from 76 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,320 Speaker 3: somebody from these staffs that are remaining. 77 00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,440 Speaker 1: To interview for the job, so maybe they can hand 78 00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:36,960 Speaker 1: them the job. 79 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,480 Speaker 2: Good point. Okay, you answer my question. 80 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 4: I get it. 81 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:42,880 Speaker 2: Okay, that's no problem. Then now the next question is 82 00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 2: how come Bill Belichick is not hired? Okay, in my mind, 83 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: they say there's several reasons. Obviously, his age longevity's like 84 00:03:49,960 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: seventy one, and I don't think that's old as far 85 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:55,880 Speaker 2: as coaching is concerned. But I think management of various 86 00:03:55,920 --> 00:03:58,080 Speaker 2: teams want a guy to stay there for a while. 87 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 2: I don't think management saying that he can't relate to 88 00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 2: the younger players. I don't think that's true, but I 89 00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,480 Speaker 2: think they think that he only may stay a year 90 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:07,520 Speaker 2: or two. He wants to get that record from Don 91 00:04:07,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 2: Shula and pack it in. Or maybe it's the power 92 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: situation that he wants control, and I say he deserves it. 93 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,040 Speaker 2: Do you think he deserves that power and control that 94 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: he had in New England if it goes to another team. 95 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,359 Speaker 3: I think it's hard for another team to kind of 96 00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,239 Speaker 3: give him everything that he wants or what he had 97 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,760 Speaker 3: in New England, just given. 98 00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,840 Speaker 1: The last few seasons. 99 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:35,600 Speaker 3: People who talk about the question of drafts, people who 100 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:39,120 Speaker 3: talk about the lack of the quarterback development. Unfortunately, people 101 00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 3: who are hiring may get caught up in the decision 102 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,480 Speaker 3: and kind of the narrative about the Tom Brady thing, 103 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,919 Speaker 3: Bill Belichick with Tom Brady, Bill Belichick without Tom Brady 104 00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 3: and those things. It was going to be hard for 105 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,960 Speaker 3: Bill Belichick to have a situation where he was able 106 00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:58,159 Speaker 3: to control everything like he controlled it in New England, 107 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:02,160 Speaker 3: just given I would say the cold nature that New 108 00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 3: England had and the lack of success that some of 109 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:08,159 Speaker 3: the guys from his staff had. Remember, it's not just 110 00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:11,320 Speaker 3: Bill Belichick. Who was trying to go at it. Let's 111 00:05:11,320 --> 00:05:13,600 Speaker 3: look at the play the coaches that came before him. 112 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 3: Josh McDaniels fell twice as a head coach. Bill o'bryant's 113 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 3: tenure was okay in Houston, Romeo Crenell didn't make it. 114 00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 3: Eric Mangini had a tough time. Matt Patricia. I mean, 115 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:30,720 Speaker 3: the list goes on and on, from coaches who were 116 00:05:30,760 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: supposed to bring the new England Patriots structure, the Patriot 117 00:05:34,520 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 3: Way to franchises where it didn't work out. I think 118 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,800 Speaker 3: that track record, plus knowing that they would have to 119 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:45,599 Speaker 3: relinquish all control to him, I think they played heavily 120 00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:49,360 Speaker 3: in the decisions that were made by teams to move 121 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,120 Speaker 3: forward without Bill Belichick as their coach. 122 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,680 Speaker 2: Okay, can you see a scenario now that Bill Belichick, 123 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 2: who cannot knock the door down to get a head 124 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,800 Speaker 2: coaching job, maybe becomes an assistant. I heard some with 125 00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 2: surs that maybe Sean McVay would be looking to hire 126 00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:06,039 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick as a defensive coordinator. I don't see that happening. 127 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,719 Speaker 2: I don't see it's that. To me, I'd rather just 128 00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 2: pack it in and retire than come back with I 129 00:06:10,839 --> 00:06:12,960 Speaker 2: think you look like you're desperate if you're coming back 130 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:15,320 Speaker 2: as a decoordinator or as an assistant coach. 131 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:19,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think that happens. I can't see the 132 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:23,080 Speaker 3: scenario where Bioll Belichick takes that approach where he's going 133 00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:27,520 Speaker 3: to be an assistant coach that is trying to do it. Yeah, 134 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 3: that to me, that doesn't factor into the plans. I 135 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:33,720 Speaker 3: think he'll sit and wait, He'll do TV, he'll do 136 00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: some media stuff for like a year, and then you 137 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:39,279 Speaker 3: wouldn't look and see what the cycle looks like in 138 00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,040 Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, Remember twenty twenty five, Dallas Cowboys job 139 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,400 Speaker 3: could be open. Every year they're about Jets job too, 140 00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,680 Speaker 3: He'll have Jets job could be open. He'll have opportunities 141 00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 3: if he sits and waits, provide he still has good 142 00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,599 Speaker 3: health and all a willingness to do it, He'll have 143 00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 3: plenty of opportunities to be able to get some of 144 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:56,760 Speaker 3: that stuff done. 145 00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:59,360 Speaker 2: Okay, this is what I'm hearing, all right, and I 146 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,440 Speaker 2: may be way, but I'm hearing this that when Kansas 147 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:06,800 Speaker 2: City the Chiefs are eliminated, whenever, that may be today, 148 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,600 Speaker 2: super Bowl, whatever, Andy Reid's going to retire and Bill 149 00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:13,160 Speaker 2: Belichick's going to coach the Kansas City Chiefs. That's what 150 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:13,760 Speaker 2: I'm hearing. 151 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: What do you think that would make sense? 152 00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:20,440 Speaker 3: Because they run two different programs, Like the way that 153 00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:23,280 Speaker 3: Andy Reid operates the program in Kansas City is vastly 154 00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:24,440 Speaker 3: different than the way that. 155 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:26,600 Speaker 1: Bill Belichick runs it. 156 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 3: And remember the Kansas City Chiefs had similar Patriot Way 157 00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,280 Speaker 3: vibes when Scott Peeley was the general manager and it 158 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:36,800 Speaker 3: didn't go well for them. I can't see them running 159 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:38,920 Speaker 3: to do that all over again. I don't think there's 160 00:07:38,960 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: any legs there are any legs in that one. 161 00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:43,120 Speaker 2: Okay, all right, I'm going to just bury that in 162 00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:44,680 Speaker 2: the corner. But if that happens, I'm going to stick 163 00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:47,600 Speaker 2: my chest down and say I told you so. Now, next, last, 164 00:07:47,600 --> 00:07:49,640 Speaker 2: but not last, but not least, we said that two 165 00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 2: jobs are open, Seattle Washington. I think if Bill Belichick 166 00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:56,920 Speaker 2: was offered both those positions, he'd rather go to Washington. 167 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,560 Speaker 2: Why do I say that? He realized now over the 168 00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 2: lesser years, you can't win without a quarterback, and Washington 169 00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:04,200 Speaker 2: is gonna have the number two pick in the draft, 170 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 2: which obviously is going to be a quarterback pick. I 171 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,200 Speaker 2: think Washington would be his best bet. 172 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:11,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, Washingt would get the oportunity to get a quarterback. 173 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 3: Then it's about picking the right quarterback for him. It's 174 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,040 Speaker 3: an historic franchise. He is a guy who pays attention 175 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,080 Speaker 3: to history. It would appear to be a great fit. 176 00:08:19,160 --> 00:08:23,320 Speaker 3: But does Washington want to do that? Does Adam Peters 177 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 3: want to go down de road? Adam Peters taking over 178 00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,600 Speaker 3: first time GM taking over. He used to work in 179 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:34,120 Speaker 3: New England. Does he want to welcome that into his franchise? 180 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 3: You know, can he all of a sudden go from 181 00:08:37,320 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: being the mentor to being in charge? You know, sometimes 182 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,520 Speaker 3: it's hard to student pupil relationship when it flips. I 183 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,760 Speaker 3: don't know if he would be willing to sign up 184 00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:50,920 Speaker 3: for that so quickly his first time running an organization. 185 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,560 Speaker 2: You know, Washington is not a bad deal. Obviously we 186 00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:55,560 Speaker 2: talked about the number two pick, which be a quarterback. 187 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,480 Speaker 2: But that division that they're in is not really that strong. 188 00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:02,040 Speaker 2: You got Dallas the obviously, Philadelphia's kind of right now. 189 00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: They're in flux right now. I don't know what's going 190 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: on with the Eagles. But other than that, I mean 191 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,800 Speaker 2: that that division can be had. The Giants are terrible. 192 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,679 Speaker 2: I mean, I really think there's a possibility that it's 193 00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:14,760 Speaker 2: a weak division. I remember several years ago, but the 194 00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:17,079 Speaker 2: teams are getting into the playoffs were like seven and 195 00:09:17,200 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 2: nine records. It's not good. I mean he's got a 196 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 2: shot there. 197 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 3: Yeah, he does have a shot there. No, it's not 198 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:24,720 Speaker 3: a good it's not a great division. It's one that 199 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 3: does require a lot of that can be flipped pretty quickly. 200 00:09:30,280 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 1: They have a nucleus in place where you could get 201 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:32,880 Speaker 1: it done. 202 00:09:32,920 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 3: You think about their defensive lineman Deron Payne and Jonathan Allen, 203 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 3: some of the other pieces they have on offense. You 204 00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 3: certainly have a foundation that could, I say, maybe reverse 205 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 3: fortunes fairly quickly. 206 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: What do you think, I mean, you'll take on Bill 207 00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,520 Speaker 2: Belichicker because you're real close to the ground in the NFL. 208 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:51,120 Speaker 2: What's happening? 209 00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:54,160 Speaker 1: What do you think? Look, I think he's a great coach. 210 00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 3: I think he deserves, not deserves, I think he's worthy 211 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:01,720 Speaker 3: of being one the thirty two coaches in the league. 212 00:10:02,360 --> 00:10:02,720 Speaker 1: That's it. 213 00:10:03,559 --> 00:10:06,200 Speaker 3: The people who are doing the hiring would be slow 214 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,240 Speaker 3: to releave rich control or slow to bring him in, 215 00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,480 Speaker 3: because when he comes in, he's going to expose everything 216 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:15,679 Speaker 3: about the organization. He's going to be the truth teller. 217 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,400 Speaker 3: He's going to tell you he's had enough success that 218 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:23,240 Speaker 3: he can't command considerable power. I think sometimes when you're hiring, 219 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 3: you don't want to bring someone in who has that 220 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,680 Speaker 3: much power because it puts your position, it puts the 221 00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,920 Speaker 3: power that you currently have, it puts it in jeopardy. 222 00:10:32,120 --> 00:10:33,880 Speaker 3: He also is working against those factors. 223 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: It amazes me, you know, really, when you think about it, 224 00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 2: what he has done, I would say here and now 225 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,280 Speaker 2: that he probably is the greatest coach of all time 226 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: in the National Football League. And for him to be 227 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: looking from the outside in that he can't get a job, 228 00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 2: I'm shocked. I'm shocked. Really, I would think they'd be 229 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:53,559 Speaker 2: knocking on his door calling him twenty four to seven, 230 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: say come on in here. But I think that the 231 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:58,800 Speaker 2: last several years maybe heard him tarnish him a little bit, 232 00:10:58,840 --> 00:11:02,360 Speaker 2: realizing saying, well, he couldn't win without Tom Brady was 233 00:11:02,400 --> 00:11:05,720 Speaker 2: Brady and the power of the power structure. I mean, really, 234 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:08,800 Speaker 2: I just cannot believe there's not one team out there 235 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 2: that's going to hire him, although maybe he has been 236 00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,160 Speaker 2: offered and he said no, we don't know that, right. 237 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 2: Maybe they said, look, we'll let your coach, but you know, 238 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 2: you're not making any decisions as far as personnel. We 239 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 2: don't know that. 240 00:11:22,200 --> 00:11:24,800 Speaker 3: I mean, you're right, we don't know that part of it. 241 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 3: And the personnel thing is significant. It's something that you 242 00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:32,880 Speaker 3: have to kind of talk about and you wonder how 243 00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,120 Speaker 3: much power is necessary for you to be the head coach. 244 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 3: And also if you're Bill Belichick, remember he doesn't have 245 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,600 Speaker 3: to do this, you know, and maybe he doesn't want 246 00:11:41,640 --> 00:11:44,520 Speaker 3: to step into a situation where he doesn't have the 247 00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 3: control to do it the way that he wants to 248 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,719 Speaker 3: get it done. No different than Nick Saban taking over 249 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:54,520 Speaker 3: a college program and being asked or demanding no, no, no, 250 00:11:54,520 --> 00:11:56,679 Speaker 3: If I'm gonna take this over, here's what I need, 251 00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,520 Speaker 3: you know. And you have to give him that because 252 00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:02,600 Speaker 3: he needs those things to be as successful as he 253 00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,440 Speaker 3: has been. And why would you relinquish all with that 254 00:12:05,480 --> 00:12:07,320 Speaker 3: when you have six Super Bowl rings and no one, 255 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 3: no one else in the football world is close to 256 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 3: having the level of success that you've had. 257 00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:13,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a sham because I'd love to see him 258 00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,559 Speaker 2: break the Dawn Shuler record. He don't get a job 259 00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:17,560 Speaker 2: he's not going to get that done. I would say this, 260 00:12:17,600 --> 00:12:19,880 Speaker 2: I think if the record was already broken and he 261 00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:22,760 Speaker 2: left New England, he'd retired, just go out into the 262 00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,360 Speaker 2: sunset and that's it. But the fact that record is 263 00:12:25,440 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 2: kind of bugging him. He wants that record. He's like 264 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:31,160 Speaker 2: sixteen wins and that'll take him at least two more 265 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: years to coach to get that record, dependent upon what 266 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,280 Speaker 2: team he goes to. 267 00:12:35,400 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, it may be that we can talk about 268 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,360 Speaker 3: the all time wins record. I think what's more significant 269 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,360 Speaker 3: as the fact that he's a six time super Bowl champion. 270 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,880 Speaker 3: You know. Look, I love to be the all time 271 00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,120 Speaker 3: leader or whatever. Like his legacy as the greatest coach 272 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:53,200 Speaker 3: of all time is already submitted because he's had an 273 00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 3: unparallel amount of success as a team builder. Whether he 274 00:12:58,600 --> 00:13:00,360 Speaker 3: gets it or not, whether he coaches another down to 275 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,240 Speaker 3: that he already has earned goat status is really about 276 00:13:03,240 --> 00:13:06,480 Speaker 3: trying to find the right situation for him. And I 277 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:10,520 Speaker 3: will say the longer he is away, the harder it's 278 00:13:10,559 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 3: going to be for him to get one of those gigs. 279 00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 2: Well, I'd love to see him get it, but I'm 280 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 2: still hoping that Kansas City situation. That's that's a possibility, 281 00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:20,880 Speaker 2: but we'll see. All right, he's Bucky Brooks. You get 282 00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:22,480 Speaker 2: him on X, get him on Twitter, whatever you want 283 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: to do at Bucky Brooks at Andy Furman FSR.

Here, you played the game, let's talk offensive coordinators. 325 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,200 Speaker 2: How many do you know share the play calling during 326 00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:23,120 Speaker 2: the course of a game. 327 00:15:25,480 --> 00:15:27,040 Speaker 1: Look, it may be significant. 328 00:15:27,080 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 3: I think we never know, but I will tell you 329 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,520 Speaker 3: that in today's game, when you have so many guys 330 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,320 Speaker 3: at are quarterback gurus and past game officionados, a lot 331 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:38,160 Speaker 3: of time when it comes to the running game, they 332 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,200 Speaker 3: really rely on the O line coach or the running 333 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 3: backs coach to determine when and what play the call 334 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,480 Speaker 3: when it's time to run it, put it on the ground. 335 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 3: So it's not uncommon for them to split it in 336 00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:52,360 Speaker 3: those regards to have a collaborative effort, even though they're 337 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 3: the ones with the call sheet. 338 00:15:53,960 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 2: Interesting because Brian Callahan was named offensive coin they're in Cincinnati, 339 00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 2: but the head coach, Zach Taylor, called to play now. 340 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 2: He was named head coach in Tennessee just the other day, 341 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:05,800 Speaker 2: and he said it as introductory news conference that the 342 00:16:05,840 --> 00:16:08,520 Speaker 2: way we worked in Cincinnati was very collaborative. He said, 343 00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 2: I've been with Zach for five years, working with him 344 00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 2: as a primary play caller and me as the offensive coordinator. 345 00:16:15,160 --> 00:16:17,600 Speaker 2: I really feel great about the process. I don't understand 346 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 2: what that means. Primary play caller. So Zach Taylor had 347 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 2: the funnel ward of what play is going to be run, 348 00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,800 Speaker 2: and he was the offensive coordinator. So he'll tell Zach, Zach, 349 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,360 Speaker 2: I see this weakness in the defense, maybe you want 350 00:16:28,360 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: to call this play no. 351 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:32,240 Speaker 3: So, going all the way back to my time with 352 00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:35,040 Speaker 3: the Green Bay package, when Mike Holmgren was the coach, 353 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 3: Mike Hogan was the coach, Sherm Lewis was the offensive coordinator. 354 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,240 Speaker 3: There were other people that set it in the meeting 355 00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 3: room like Steve Marucci and others. But the way that 356 00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:48,240 Speaker 3: it went down, the coordinator does exactly what the title says. 357 00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:50,200 Speaker 1: He coordinates all the efforts. 358 00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:53,080 Speaker 3: So he takes input from the running game guru, the 359 00:16:53,120 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 3: passing game, the offensive concepts that you like, ties it 360 00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 3: all together, may install the offensive game plan in the meetings, 361 00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,880 Speaker 3: meaning he is the guy who is running the meetings 362 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 3: telling the team the offensive unit, here's what we're going 363 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:10,240 Speaker 3: to do this week. Here what the plays look like. 364 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:14,240 Speaker 3: Here's how these plays should look. But the primary play 365 00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:17,360 Speaker 3: caller and the head coach, he will come in when 366 00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 3: it's time to make it happen in practice. So what 367 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,720 Speaker 3: it does by having an offensive coordinator, the head coach 368 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:25,920 Speaker 3: now can kind of float around a little bit, spend 369 00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:28,680 Speaker 3: some time in the defensive rooms, spend some time worrying 370 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:30,919 Speaker 3: about other parts of the team. But then as you 371 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,160 Speaker 3: get later in the weekend, we're beginning to put the 372 00:17:33,200 --> 00:17:37,520 Speaker 3: offense together. On the practice field Thursday, Friday, Saturday, they're 373 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 3: kind of overseeing it. They're going through the scripts, and 374 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:43,560 Speaker 3: then on Sunday it's their show. I meaning the primary 375 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,719 Speaker 3: play caller is calling it with input from the offensive coordinator. 376 00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,679 Speaker 3: A I like this one right here, Coach, I like 377 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:51,520 Speaker 3: this one on third down. This is what we have. 378 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,480 Speaker 3: So it's a back and forth effort, but the primary 379 00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:57,119 Speaker 3: play caller is the one that's getting it done. 380 00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 2: Okay. So at the news conference the other day in Nashville, Tennis, 381 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 2: see Brian Callahan, the new coach that he intends to 382 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:06,520 Speaker 2: call the plays on offense this year. He's entering his 383 00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,760 Speaker 2: fourteenth year of coaching in the NFL. Last five years 384 00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:13,600 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati's offensive coordinator is mentioned. But Callahan didn't call 385 00:18:13,640 --> 00:18:16,800 Speaker 2: the plays in Cincinnati, so that had to be a 386 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 2: big thing in his mind why he accepted the job. Look, 387 00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:21,880 Speaker 2: I know everybody wants to be a head coach. That's 388 00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: basically the goal. If you're an assistant, you want to 389 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 2: run your own show and prove to people that you 390 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:28,800 Speaker 2: could get it done. But I think that if he 391 00:18:28,880 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: could have called the place in Cincinnati, he may have stayed. 392 00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:34,000 Speaker 2: And why do I say that. I don't think you 393 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 2: normally pack up and leave. If you have a franchise 394 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,960 Speaker 2: quarterback on offense, and they have one in Cincinnati, they 395 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:40,440 Speaker 2: don't really have one in Tennessee. 396 00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:43,240 Speaker 3: Now you pack up and leave. Anytime you'd offer a 397 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:45,120 Speaker 3: hair job, you have to take the job. It's one 398 00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:47,439 Speaker 3: of only thirty two. And it's no guarantee that when 399 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:50,000 Speaker 3: you get offered one one cycle that you can get 400 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 3: offered another one the next cycle. When I think about 401 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:56,560 Speaker 3: all the coaches that were hot candidates, you know, Eric 402 00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,560 Speaker 3: be Enemy being a high candidate at one time, hasn't 403 00:18:58,560 --> 00:18:59,240 Speaker 3: been able to get. 404 00:18:59,080 --> 00:18:59,640 Speaker 1: A head job. 405 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 3: You can never secure the deal. You think about some 406 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,840 Speaker 3: of the others that have been able to go. Aryl 407 00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:06,920 Speaker 3: Austin was a high candidate at one point for the 408 00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,840 Speaker 3: Pittsburgh Sills defense coordinator. He had bounced around and had interviews, 409 00:19:09,840 --> 00:19:12,359 Speaker 3: but never could get the job. When you are offered 410 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 3: a job, you take one of those jobs because it's 411 00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 3: so hard to get and then you find a way 412 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:20,480 Speaker 3: to make it right. And what I think most head 413 00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:24,399 Speaker 3: coaches have to enter every situation thinking, I have to 414 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 3: win with the team as presently constructed until I can 415 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,600 Speaker 3: build the team the way that I want it. I 416 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:32,359 Speaker 3: may not have a franchise quarterback. How can I build 417 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 3: this team to win temporarily without a franchise quarterback until 418 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:37,160 Speaker 3: I can identify one. 419 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:38,720 Speaker 1: That would take us to the next level. 420 00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:41,199 Speaker 3: As much as I love Joe Burrow and what the 421 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:45,080 Speaker 3: Bengals have, Brian Callahan would have been foolish to stay 422 00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:47,399 Speaker 3: in that situation. If he had a head job that 423 00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:51,080 Speaker 3: was a solid situation with a solid ownership group and 424 00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:51,760 Speaker 3: general manager. 425 00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:54,000 Speaker 1: You don't turn down those opportunities. 426 00:19:54,119 --> 00:19:56,520 Speaker 2: Okay, I hear what you're saying, and certainly, head coach, 427 00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:58,760 Speaker 2: that's would you strive to do if you're an assistant. 428 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,639 Speaker 2: But Zach Taylor, the head coach of the Bengals, he 429 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 2: claimed after the hire was made in Tennessee that he 430 00:20:05,280 --> 00:20:09,399 Speaker 2: would have let Callahan call the plays this year. So 431 00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,600 Speaker 2: that tells me that he would have been callahan more 432 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,720 Speaker 2: power if Callahan were to stay and he hired. Now 433 00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:19,280 Speaker 2: he just brought up on his chart. Dan Pitcher is 434 00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:21,399 Speaker 2: going to be the offensive coordinator who's been with the 435 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,000 Speaker 2: Bengals for a while, so he gets a promotion right now. 436 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,160 Speaker 2: But he'll fill the role that Callahan didn't. Certainly, Zach 437 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,560 Speaker 2: Taylor's still going to call the place. 438 00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, just the same thing. As much as 439 00:20:32,359 --> 00:20:34,600 Speaker 3: like Zach Taylor would would would would say. 440 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 1: Hey man, I love Brian. I would have let him. 441 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 3: Call plays and those things, and he probably would have 442 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,119 Speaker 3: allowed him to call plays. He selfishly would do it 443 00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:44,959 Speaker 3: because he wants to keep a good coach on his 444 00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:48,200 Speaker 3: staff right here, Brian Callahan, Like, that's great. And let's 445 00:20:48,200 --> 00:20:52,080 Speaker 3: just say a troubling situation that you would be stepping into. 446 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,400 Speaker 3: Let's say, for instance, the Carolina Panthers had offered Callahan 447 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:57,840 Speaker 3: the job and he just didn't like what appeared to 448 00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:01,280 Speaker 3: be a meddling owner and David Tepp, well, maybe in 449 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:04,840 Speaker 3: that instance, you decline the opportunity to take that job, 450 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:06,760 Speaker 3: and you stay in Cincinnati, you call plays for a year, 451 00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:08,560 Speaker 3: and then you go back because you think Cincinnati is 452 00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:12,040 Speaker 3: going to continue to be a viable contend to continue 453 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:14,080 Speaker 3: to be a playoff participant where you're going to get 454 00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 3: enough attention to merit some consideration as a head coach. 455 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:21,920 Speaker 3: But otherwise, man a stable situation Tennessee. You've seen people 456 00:21:21,960 --> 00:21:25,719 Speaker 3: win in Tennessee, Ran Carthon, someone who you may have 457 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,040 Speaker 3: some connections and ties to. 458 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,600 Speaker 1: You have to take that opportunity, right. 459 00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,680 Speaker 2: And now this is coming to a head, maybe only 460 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,040 Speaker 2: in my mind it is, But Taylor Callahan was valuable 461 00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 2: in game planning. So if you're valuable valuable in the 462 00:21:38,359 --> 00:21:40,880 Speaker 2: game planning, shouldn't a game plan to call the plays? 463 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:42,720 Speaker 2: I mean that that makes sense to me. 464 00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: No, that's not always like that. 465 00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:52,120 Speaker 3: You know, you can be valuable in that situation as 466 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 3: a game planner, but still not merit the right kind 467 00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 3: of consideration when it comes to calling the plays. It's 468 00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 3: a completely different ballgame. And I'll tell you this. Play 469 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 3: calling is an art form. Play calling is the ability 470 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:09,080 Speaker 3: to sequence your play calls where you not only take 471 00:22:09,080 --> 00:22:11,960 Speaker 3: advantage of what the defense is doing, but you set 472 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: up things that they're going to do in reaction to 473 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 3: the stuff that you're doing to create big play opportunities. 474 00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:22,280 Speaker 3: And so there's this free flowing art to being able 475 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:25,960 Speaker 3: to do it and everybody doesn't possess it. So I 476 00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:29,880 Speaker 3: give him credit for acknowledging that, but it's something that's 477 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:31,879 Speaker 3: hard to do, and I think also for Brian Ellen, 478 00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 3: this will be something that would be a challenge because. 479 00:22:34,040 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 1: It's also when you become the head coach. 480 00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,439 Speaker 3: You have to be involved in all three phases, but 481 00:22:40,640 --> 00:22:42,600 Speaker 3: you are now taking on the challenge of being the 482 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 3: play caller. It is hard to manage and handle all 483 00:22:46,760 --> 00:22:49,720 Speaker 3: those duties when you're a newbie at that situation, new 484 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:54,000 Speaker 3: play calling, new head coach. His defensive coordinator needs to 485 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,280 Speaker 3: be an experienced defensive coordinator who can completely run that 486 00:22:57,400 --> 00:22:59,720 Speaker 3: side of the ball, so he can be the head 487 00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:03,440 Speaker 3: coach coach with a heavy emphasis on how the offense 488 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 3: is running. 489 00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:05,800 Speaker 1: If that makes sense at all. 490 00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 2: Right, and a play call up maybe in my mind, look, 491 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,520 Speaker 2: you played the game, so you could tell me. You 492 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 2: have to be quick on your feet. You have to adapt, 493 00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:14,199 Speaker 2: you know, a game plan or planning. You know, I 494 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,199 Speaker 2: could sit in my office on a Thursday and Friday 495 00:23:16,200 --> 00:23:18,280 Speaker 2: and plan, but when you're on the sidelines with the 496 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 2: headphones on, you got to make that decision like right now, 497 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,080 Speaker 2: right now. That's how people can't do it. I would 498 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:25,800 Speaker 2: think you would say it's an art form, but. 499 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:27,440 Speaker 1: No, it takes a while. 500 00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 3: It takes a while to master that because look, the 501 00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:31,879 Speaker 3: play clock is going. You have to be able to 502 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:38,200 Speaker 3: think one step ahead of the opponent while also navigating time, score, situation. 503 00:23:38,560 --> 00:23:41,440 Speaker 2: All right, Last, but not least, Zach Taylor calls the 504 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:44,719 Speaker 2: plays from field level as opposed to the booth. I've 505 00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:47,199 Speaker 2: always thought you'd get a better angle, better view of 506 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 2: what's going on from the booth. I don't understand why 507 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 2: he would do it from the field. 508 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:54,800 Speaker 3: Well, you want to do it from the field because 509 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:58,760 Speaker 3: you want interaction from the players. You won't feedback directly 510 00:23:58,800 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 3: from the players. Even though it's a very quiet and 511 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:07,119 Speaker 3: calm environment up in the press box. You lose the 512 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 3: feel for being able to engage with the players right 513 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 3: on the field. As the head coach, there's no you 514 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,160 Speaker 3: can't go to pressbot. You're the head coach. Head coach, 515 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,399 Speaker 3: you got to be on the field. You got to 516 00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 3: be on the field to manage all the situations. So 517 00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:22,200 Speaker 3: even though you can clearly see things from up top, 518 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 3: it is better for the communications when the coordinator is 519 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 3: on the field. Think about Steve Wilkes in the situation 520 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:31,560 Speaker 3: they had with the San Francisco forty nine ers early 521 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:34,240 Speaker 3: in the year, Kyle Shanahan asked him to come down 522 00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 3: to the field because there were some communication issues with 523 00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:41,160 Speaker 3: the linebackers. They wanted communication, direct feedback. You don't get 524 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:44,600 Speaker 3: that instantaneously when the coordinator's up in the booth. 525 00:24:45,080 --> 00:24:47,480 Speaker 2: Got you all right? He's Bucky Brooks answered all the questions. 526 00:24:47,480 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 2: I'm Andy Ferman. We are Fox Football Sunny and Fox 527 00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 2: Books Radio. The question is, right now, what makes this 528 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,920 Speaker 2: coach so good? That's coming up next on Fox Live 529 00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 2: from the Tyrock dot Com studios. But first, our guy 530 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:01,760 Speaker 2: Heaven Wyatt with all your sports. 531 00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, we got a live sporting event going on right now, 532 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 4: the Australian Open Men's singles final match. They're currently in 533 00:25:10,440 --> 00:25:15,080 Speaker 4: the fourth set and Neil Medvedev with a two sets 534 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 4: to one lead over Janick Sinnaire as he won the 535 00:25:18,040 --> 00:25:21,840 Speaker 4: first two sets, did Medvedev sixty three six to three scenario, 536 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,639 Speaker 4: won eight, six to four in the third set, and 537 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 4: they're currently tied in set number four, three games apiece. 538 00:25:28,119 --> 00:25:30,160 Speaker 4: It is the best three out of five match, so 539 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:34,399 Speaker 4: Medvedev can't take this with winning one more set, so 540 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 4: we'll see how that plays out here in the NBA. 541 00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:41,560 Speaker 4: On Saturday night, probably the game of the season, Lakers 542 00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:44,400 Speaker 4: and Golden State Warriors, Relly wins at one forty five 543 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 4: fours Lebron James with a couple of late free throws 544 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:51,879 Speaker 4: to seal the win. He ended up with thirty six points, 545 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,720 Speaker 4: twenty rebounds, which is a career high, and twelve assists. 546 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,080 Speaker 4: He is the oldest player in NBA history with a 547 00:25:57,119 --> 00:26:01,439 Speaker 4: thirty five plus point, twenty plus rebound and ten plus 548 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:06,320 Speaker 4: assist triple double. Clippers making eight wins in nine games 549 00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,920 Speaker 4: after they beat the Boston Celtics won fifteen ninety six 550 00:26:09,240 --> 00:26:11,359 Speaker 4: Knicks on a roll. They've won sixth straight after a 551 00:26:11,359 --> 00:26:12,800 Speaker 4: one to twenty five to one to oh nine win 552 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,840 Speaker 4: against the Miami Heat, and they're going to the opposite 553 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:18,600 Speaker 4: direction is Miami. They've dropped six games in a row. 554 00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,040 Speaker 4: Nuggets over the Sixers one eleven, one oh five. Philadelphia, however, 555 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 4: missing just about all their key players, including Joel Embiid, 556 00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,560 Speaker 4: Spurs over the Timberwolves in an upset one thirteen to 557 00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 4: one to twelve, Nets over the Rockets one o six, 558 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 4: one oh four. Wizards beat the Pistons one eighteen one 559 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,640 Speaker 4: oh four NFL News. We got both championship games coming 560 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,639 Speaker 4: up later today. One player who will not be playing 561 00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:43,800 Speaker 4: for the Lions Zach Ertz. They recently signed him, but 562 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:47,760 Speaker 4: they will not be activating him for today's game against 563 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:51,800 Speaker 4: the forty nine Ers. Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Tony still 564 00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:55,280 Speaker 4: dealing with the hip issues, so he will miss Sunday's 565 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 4: game against the Baltimore Ravens. And the weather forecast for 566 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: each game San Francisco and no rain is in the forecast, 567 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 4: so the conditions look to be fairly ideal. There is 568 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:08,080 Speaker 4: some chance of rain in Baltimore, where the temperature is 569 00:27:08,080 --> 00:27:11,720 Speaker 4: going to be in the forty Some coaching updates.

Now, we got asked Bucky in about seven 589 00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:14,119 Speaker 2: eight minutes for now, but Jim Harborugh Lee's Michigan to 590 00:28:14,200 --> 00:28:16,640 Speaker 2: coach the LA Chargers, right as that's a big story. 591 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 2: People in Michigan are gone crazy. Maybe people in Columbus, 592 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:22,399 Speaker 2: Ohio are loving itplis. Maybe now Ohio State could possibly 593 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,439 Speaker 2: beat Michigan. All right, Buck, I looked at his record. 594 00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,919 Speaker 2: I mean this guy was born to coach. I know 595 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,080 Speaker 2: his daddy coach at Western Kentucky's brother coaches the Ravens. 596 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:34,120 Speaker 2: Twenty eleven with the forty nine is thirteen and three, 597 00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:37,760 Speaker 2: twenty twelve, forty nine is eleven four and one, twenty 598 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: thirteen with the forty nine ers twelve four to oh 599 00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:43,360 Speaker 2: twenty fourteen forty nine ers an eight and eight total 600 00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 2: in the NFL forty four nineteen and one Stanford, he 601 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,200 Speaker 2: was twenty nine and twenty one Michigan eighty nine and 602 00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,239 Speaker 2: twenty five total one to eighteen and forty six. So 603 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 2: there are certain people who want to coach, and there 604 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 2: are certain people who were born to coach. I gotta 605 00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,840 Speaker 2: believe this guy had the jeans to be a coach. 606 00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:02,200 Speaker 2: Wherever he goes, he wins. I don't know how he 607 00:29:02,240 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 2: does it, what makes him so good. 608 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 3: He is. So we just spent the last segment talking 609 00:29:08,840 --> 00:29:12,600 Speaker 3: about offensive play calls. In those things, Jim Harbor is 610 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,160 Speaker 3: a head coach. He's not just an offensive play call. 611 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 3: He's also not just a quarterback whispering guru. He understands 612 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,560 Speaker 3: how to build a team that is built to last. 613 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,920 Speaker 3: When you look at the teams that he has inherited 614 00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,360 Speaker 3: and taken over and how he's transformed him into two 615 00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:34,120 Speaker 3: winners and title contenders. He builds a level of He 616 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: makes sure that his teams have a level of toughness 617 00:29:36,440 --> 00:29:40,160 Speaker 3: and physicality that enabled them to eventually be the bullies 618 00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:43,120 Speaker 3: on the block. He believes in dominant, dominant play in 619 00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:46,680 Speaker 3: the trenches. They're going to be super physical on the 620 00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:49,560 Speaker 3: offensive and defensive lines. They're gonna have an identity because 621 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,400 Speaker 3: they're gonna be power based football teams, exotic smash mouth 622 00:29:52,440 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 3: as he would term it. And then he is going 623 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,959 Speaker 3: to make the game easy for the quarterback because when 624 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 3: you run the football, and I know every one loves 625 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:03,640 Speaker 3: the thought of the quarterback throwing it all over the 626 00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,080 Speaker 3: yard forty times a game, but when you run the football, 627 00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,120 Speaker 3: you make the game easy for the quarterback because on 628 00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,520 Speaker 3: play action, the holes and windows are bigger for him. 629 00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:16,640 Speaker 3: So bigger windows lead to better efficiency, more effectiveness. Now 630 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:19,720 Speaker 3: the quarterback is confident, and it just gives you an 631 00:30:19,760 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 3: opportunity to have so much success on offense because you're 632 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 3: using your offense not only to score points, but you're 633 00:30:26,280 --> 00:30:29,240 Speaker 3: using it as your best defense to keep the opponent 634 00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:30,480 Speaker 3: on the sideline. 635 00:30:30,520 --> 00:30:31,600 Speaker 1: He just understands that. 636 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,520 Speaker 3: He gets it in a major way, and guys love 637 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 3: playing for him. Even though he's a grinded out type coach. 638 00:30:38,920 --> 00:30:41,480 Speaker 2: And I gotta believe Justin Herbert's thrilled to have a 639 00:30:41,480 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 2: guy like him coaching him. 640 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:46,640 Speaker 3: Well, I mean, why wouldn't you like so for him, 641 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 3: it's a double thing. Remember, and what we're seeing in 642 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,640 Speaker 3: these hires, how many of these guys have been former players. 643 00:30:54,680 --> 00:31:01,800 Speaker 3: So you think about Jiromeo, Antonio Pierce, all former players. 644 00:31:01,840 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 3: So there's a connection and instant credibility that you possess 645 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:10,160 Speaker 3: when you stand in front of the team having walked 646 00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: in those shoes. Jimba Hartwell has walked in those shoes 647 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,360 Speaker 3: for the Chargers. He's done the lightning bolt. He's had 648 00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360 Speaker 3: success as a quarterback. 649 00:31:18,960 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: Of that team. They've seen his success. 650 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:24,320 Speaker 3: They've also seen his success not only as a college coach, 651 00:31:24,520 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 3: but as a pro coach. He has their ear when 652 00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:31,000 Speaker 3: he steps in, they know it, he feels it. Now 653 00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,840 Speaker 3: his job is to kind of breathe life and confidence 654 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:36,800 Speaker 3: into a team that's been close, but they're missing just. 655 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,320 Speaker 1: That little edge. He will give them that edge because 656 00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:40,640 Speaker 1: he's one of the best coaches that we've seen. 657 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: Okay, you mentioned something right there and I listened with 658 00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:45,520 Speaker 2: both ears. That's why God gave me two ears, you know, 659 00:31:45,520 --> 00:31:47,440 Speaker 2: on only one mouth because I want to listen. He 660 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:50,760 Speaker 2: said he was a successful guy, successful coach on the 661 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,400 Speaker 2: pro level. In the college level, How difficult is that 662 00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,840 Speaker 2: because not many guys had Nick Saban didn't get it 663 00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:58,520 Speaker 2: done in Miami when it coached to Dolphins. Okay, Pete 664 00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 2: Carroll was successful USC and in the pros. It's difficult. 665 00:32:02,200 --> 00:32:04,200 Speaker 2: What makes it so if you're a coach. You're a coach. 666 00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,880 Speaker 2: What makes it so difficult? You can't be successful at 667 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:07,560 Speaker 2: both levels. 668 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: In college, it's a dictatorship. I'm the coach, you're the players. 669 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,959 Speaker 1: You kind of do as I say and do. In 670 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:20,640 Speaker 1: the pros, it's more of a democracy partnership. 671 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 3: Hey, man, I got suggestions, but I need you guys 672 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:24,880 Speaker 3: to be on board. You gotta believe in my vision. 673 00:32:24,920 --> 00:32:27,680 Speaker 3: If you believe in what we're doing, not only will 674 00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:32,120 Speaker 3: we win, but individually you will benefit big paydays, big contracts, 675 00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,520 Speaker 3: whether it's with us or somewhere else. Hey, if you 676 00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:37,480 Speaker 3: listen me, if you're with me, it'll be mutually beneficial 677 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:41,360 Speaker 3: for everybody involved. He understands how to build that culture 678 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 3: because in the pros it's different. So all the fairytale 679 00:32:46,040 --> 00:32:49,000 Speaker 3: stuff that you've had heard about teams and we're going 680 00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:51,480 Speaker 3: to sacrifice ourselves for our brothers. 681 00:32:51,120 --> 00:32:52,400 Speaker 1: And YadA, YadA, YadA. 682 00:32:52,400 --> 00:32:55,400 Speaker 3: When in the pros you deal them with fifty three 683 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:59,560 Speaker 3: independent contractors who are responsible for their own plight, who 684 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,840 Speaker 3: are looking out to benefit themselves and their families on 685 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,160 Speaker 3: a personal level. So you have fifty three guys come 686 00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,880 Speaker 3: on board, you have to show them tangible proof that 687 00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:12,120 Speaker 3: if you make this sacrifice, here's how it will benefit 688 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:17,880 Speaker 3: you personally down the road. Most coaches that have struggled 689 00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:22,000 Speaker 3: going from college to pros and that have been unable 690 00:33:22,160 --> 00:33:26,120 Speaker 3: or unwilling to have that conversation or to build those 691 00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 3: connections that will allow those things to happen. 692 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: Okay, what is his loss to Michigan do to that 693 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,560 Speaker 2: Michigan football program? 694 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 7: Uh? 695 00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:37,480 Speaker 3: Look, man, I think Sharan Wore is a really good coach. 696 00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,600 Speaker 3: I would envision this being very similar to what Stanford 697 00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,200 Speaker 3: looked like when David Shaw took over. There is no 698 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,600 Speaker 3: immediate decline. When David Shaw took over, they went to 699 00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,680 Speaker 3: even higher heights. The difference is in Sharon Moore. You're 700 00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:55,120 Speaker 3: getting an offensive line guy, a guru. The Michigan team 701 00:33:55,280 --> 00:33:58,080 Speaker 3: is built on trench play, So as long as he 702 00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 3: is able to recruit great life, it retained the physicality 703 00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:05,880 Speaker 3: and toughness that they've had while building and continue to 704 00:34:05,920 --> 00:34:09,800 Speaker 3: extend the unified front that this team has. Oh, Michigan's 705 00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,799 Speaker 3: going to be there. They're built to last. It's just 706 00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:15,920 Speaker 3: a matter of Sharon Moore growing into the job and 707 00:34:16,040 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 3: the Michigan Athletic administration having enough patients to kind of 708 00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 3: live through some of the growing pains that he's certainly 709 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,439 Speaker 3: going to have as a first time head coach. 710 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:28,680 Speaker 2: Okay, are they partying though Bucky in Columbus, Ohio for 711 00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:29,799 Speaker 2: Ohio State that he left. 712 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,319 Speaker 3: I mean yeah, I mean they're party because he had 713 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:35,880 Speaker 3: dominated them. But now here's the thing. The persson is 714 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,200 Speaker 3: really on Ryan Day in Ohio State right now. You 715 00:34:38,200 --> 00:34:40,480 Speaker 3: don't have a first time head coach who was one 716 00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,480 Speaker 3: to h you know, against the buck Eyes and the robbery. 717 00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:45,879 Speaker 3: They have to get it done. They're taking on all 718 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:48,640 Speaker 3: these transfers and everybody else. I mean, they have a 719 00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,879 Speaker 3: collection of dream Team stars, you know, all stars on that. 720 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:55,640 Speaker 3: If they're not able to get it done this year, man, 721 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,640 Speaker 3: you talk about it just being very very difficult on 722 00:34:57,719 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 3: Ryan day, despite a sterling one lost record as a coach, 723 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:05,279 Speaker 3: if he can't get it done against Michigan and win 724 00:35:05,320 --> 00:35:07,080 Speaker 3: some of these big games that put them back in 725 00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:09,839 Speaker 3: the National title game, it's gonna be hard for him. 726 00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,080 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hard for the buck guys. 727 00:35:11,320 --> 00:35:13,319 Speaker 2: There you go. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Fermer. We 728 00:35:13,360 --> 00:35:16,239 Speaker 2: are Fox Football Sunday on Fox. Bot's ready right now, 729 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:20,080 Speaker 2: It's time to get all the answers. Why ask Bucky 730 00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:23,160 Speaker 2: is next?

He's Bucky Brooks. I'm 739 00:35:39,760 --> 00:35:41,400 Speaker 2: Andy Furman and by the way, we're live from the 740 00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,160 Speaker 2: tiraq dot Com studios. Bucky, are you ready? 741 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,200 Speaker 1: Yes, here we go? 742 00:35:47,280 --> 00:35:47,480 Speaker 5: Do it. 743 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,160 Speaker 2: You know I've done this for you and especially if 744 00:35:50,200 --> 00:35:53,680 Speaker 2: you we're gonna preview the best possible Super Bowl matchups. 745 00:35:53,840 --> 00:35:56,520 Speaker 2: I'll give you the four possible matchups, your take on 746 00:35:56,600 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 2: each one of a possible matchup. Number one, forty nine 747 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 2: is against the Chiefs. 748 00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,360 Speaker 3: Who I mean, that's a nice one. That's probably the 749 00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:07,719 Speaker 3: best one. 750 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:10,400 Speaker 2: I like that one, all right. Any reason why? 751 00:36:11,440 --> 00:36:13,160 Speaker 3: Look, the forty nine is the Chiefs is a rematch, 752 00:36:13,880 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 3: And if you go back and think about the rematch 753 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:18,000 Speaker 3: the time they matched up before in the Super Bowl 754 00:36:18,040 --> 00:36:20,200 Speaker 3: a few years ago, the forty nine Ers had the game. 755 00:36:20,239 --> 00:36:22,680 Speaker 3: They were controlling the game until Pat Mahomes kind of 756 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 3: found a way in the fourth quarter to bring them back, 757 00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:28,239 Speaker 3: and if not for a misconnection on the Emanuel Sanders 758 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,040 Speaker 3: and Jimmy Garoppolo, maybe the Niners would have hoisted the 759 00:36:31,040 --> 00:36:32,279 Speaker 3: trophy that day. 760 00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:33,279 Speaker 1: There you go. 761 00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:35,319 Speaker 2: Lions Ravens a possibility. 762 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:36,440 Speaker 1: Nice. 763 00:36:36,560 --> 00:36:38,800 Speaker 3: We've seen this in the regular season, even though the 764 00:36:38,880 --> 00:36:41,920 Speaker 3: Ravens absolutely beat them down. You talk about two tough, 765 00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:45,480 Speaker 3: gritty teams scoring it off. It'd be a very compelling 766 00:36:45,520 --> 00:36:49,240 Speaker 3: matchup because it'd be the Ravens defense versus the Lions offense. 767 00:36:49,520 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: And who would want to see that? Right? 768 00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,320 Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers Ravens. 769 00:36:54,719 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 3: I mean, this is a rematch from years ago when 770 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,200 Speaker 3: people say the lights some how it went out. 771 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,400 Speaker 1: When the Ravens were doing it. 772 00:37:03,280 --> 00:37:05,000 Speaker 3: It allowed the forty nine Ers to come back, but 773 00:37:05,040 --> 00:37:07,000 Speaker 3: then it came down to an epic goal line stand. 774 00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:09,520 Speaker 3: This would be a nice matchup. You know, we saw 775 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:11,520 Speaker 3: them play at the end of the regular season. We 776 00:37:11,600 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 3: saw the Baltimore Ravens absolutely dominate the forty nine Ers 777 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:17,320 Speaker 3: and Brock Purdy didn't look like a big time quarterback 778 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,839 Speaker 3: against them. Brock Paridy would have a chance to make 779 00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,479 Speaker 3: amends for a dismal performance on a primetime game. 780 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 2: There you go, Lions Chiefs, which I don't want to 781 00:37:24,960 --> 00:37:26,799 Speaker 2: see that because we saw that in an opening night 782 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,880 Speaker 2: in September on a Thursday, Lions Chiefs. It was a 783 00:37:28,920 --> 00:37:30,719 Speaker 2: good game twenty one to twenty, but I don't want 784 00:37:30,719 --> 00:37:31,360 Speaker 2: to see it again. 785 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:35,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, but this would be more compelling from a TV standpoint. 786 00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:38,080 Speaker 3: Taylor Swift We're bringing all the Swifties, the detray Lions, 787 00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:42,359 Speaker 3: the underdog story to feel good part of it. In 788 00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 3: terms of making storylines, it would be easy to make 789 00:37:46,560 --> 00:37:50,000 Speaker 3: a ton of storylines around that those two teams playing. 790 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 2: No doubt about that. Now, you're pretty big on X factors. 791 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,719 Speaker 2: I know you do your running for NFL dot Com 792 00:37:54,760 --> 00:37:57,239 Speaker 2: and you mentioned X factors in various games. The X 793 00:37:57,280 --> 00:38:00,680 Speaker 2: factors in today's games. Okay, the X factors maybe in 794 00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:04,399 Speaker 2: Chiefs Ravens Chiefs Ravens X factors in that game. 795 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:09,640 Speaker 3: Mmm, Chiefs Ravens X factor. Let's go on the chief side. Look, 796 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,279 Speaker 3: the X factor for the Chiefs is going to be 797 00:38:11,440 --> 00:38:14,600 Speaker 3: Rashive Rice. He's a number one receiver and Travis Kelce 798 00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:17,160 Speaker 3: had a nice game coming back. But the last four 799 00:38:17,239 --> 00:38:18,960 Speaker 3: or five weeks it all have been about Rice being 800 00:38:19,000 --> 00:38:22,320 Speaker 3: a number one receiver. So can Rice be a productive 801 00:38:22,320 --> 00:38:24,680 Speaker 3: receiver when Pat Mahomes needs it? This is a game 802 00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,400 Speaker 3: where the Chiefs are underdogs. They need big plays in 803 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,279 Speaker 3: the past game, can Rice delivered the big plays that 804 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 3: this team needs? 805 00:38:31,560 --> 00:38:38,120 Speaker 2: All right, let's see X factor Lions forty nine Ers game? 806 00:38:39,880 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 3: Well, the X factor now that we know he's going 807 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,800 Speaker 3: to play with Deebo Samuel. And the reason why Deebo 808 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,160 Speaker 3: Samuel is the X factor is because the Niners played 809 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:53,200 Speaker 3: completely differently when he is available. This team dominates when 810 00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:54,840 Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel is a part of the X because it 811 00:38:54,880 --> 00:38:58,800 Speaker 3: gives them a two headed interchangeable monster with Christian McCaffrey 812 00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,839 Speaker 3: and Deebo Samuel being able to play running back, wide 813 00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,760 Speaker 3: receiver and kind of switch roles at a moment's notice. 814 00:39:03,920 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 1: With him on the. 815 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 3: Field, Yeah, it makes it more difficult for the lines 816 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,560 Speaker 3: to defend the forty nine ers offense. 817 00:39:08,920 --> 00:39:10,440 Speaker 1: So you have to like that he's a big ex 818 00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:11,320 Speaker 1: factor in this game. 819 00:39:11,560 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 2: All right, Now, this may be the most difficult question 820 00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:16,279 Speaker 2: and maybe the most important question of the day. So 821 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:18,480 Speaker 2: I say with for the last Okay, there's not going 822 00:39:18,520 --> 00:39:22,000 Speaker 2: to be any more football on Sunday nights. No football 823 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:25,320 Speaker 2: on Monday night, no football on Thursday night. Certainly Sunday 824 00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,680 Speaker 2: is going to be gone. It's gonna be all over. 825 00:39:26,719 --> 00:39:29,440 Speaker 2: I'm getting depressed right now. I'm gonna start wearing black 826 00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:32,480 Speaker 2: the morning. Now I'm in morning. But the big question 827 00:39:32,600 --> 00:39:35,480 Speaker 2: for Bucky Brooks and many others right now, what are 828 00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:37,640 Speaker 2: you going to watch on TV? Now that there's no 829 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 2: more football on those nights? 830 00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:43,960 Speaker 3: At least this will be easy because now you just 831 00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:48,080 Speaker 3: transition into watching more basketball. So NBA basketball will kind 832 00:39:48,080 --> 00:39:50,600 Speaker 3: of jump into prominence. We'll go to college basketball, get 833 00:39:50,680 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 3: ready for March Madness. It's an easy transition. We'll start 834 00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:56,920 Speaker 3: ready enough sales for the draft. But in terms of TV, 835 00:39:57,400 --> 00:40:00,799 Speaker 3: it just shifts to NBA basketball, and eventually baseball will 836 00:40:00,840 --> 00:40:01,480 Speaker 3: come into the pitch. 837 00:40:02,560 --> 00:40:04,759 Speaker 2: You know, I hear what you're saying, and I'm going 838 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,359 Speaker 2: to do the same. However, you know, there's something about 839 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:10,839 Speaker 2: the NFL where every game means so much. Although last 840 00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:15,120 Speaker 2: night watching the Golden State Warriors LA Lakers game really 841 00:40:15,239 --> 00:40:18,759 Speaker 2: somewhat meaningless. But obviously we saw what happened in the 842 00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 2: overtime and Lebron at the age of what he is 843 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,000 Speaker 2: out right now, what he did that triple double, twenty 844 00:40:24,040 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: rebounds and the points he scored. It was an amazing game, 845 00:40:26,680 --> 00:40:28,360 Speaker 2: but at the end of the day, it really didn't 846 00:40:28,360 --> 00:40:30,359 Speaker 2: mean much. You know, it was great that they beat 847 00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:32,920 Speaker 2: Golden State, but other than that, it didn't really mean anything. 848 00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,920 Speaker 2: Where the NFL, those games means so much. I love 849 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,480 Speaker 2: the one and done's like today. So that's where we're 850 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 2: at right now. But is it too early to talk 851 00:40:40,960 --> 00:40:43,720 Speaker 2: about this, Well, we'll tell you. That's on Fox Football 852 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:47,400 Speaker 2: Sunday coming up next. Bucky Brooks has it all figured 853 00:40:47,400 --> 00:40:50,400 Speaker 2: out yet? That's coming right up.

And before we get into your 862 00:41:13,880 --> 00:41:16,120 Speaker 2: NFL dot com, which I love to get into, which 863 00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:19,800 Speaker 2: you ride every Friday on NFL dot com. Just screwed 864 00:41:19,880 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 2: down there where it says rids NFL riters and you 865 00:41:22,160 --> 00:41:24,880 Speaker 2: always have something interesting to say, right whatever, So I 866 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:27,040 Speaker 2: got to ask you about this situation. We're just getting 867 00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:30,279 Speaker 2: out of hand right now. The Southeastern Conference, they find 868 00:41:30,320 --> 00:41:33,160 Speaker 2: the University of South Carolina one hundred thousand dollars the 869 00:41:33,160 --> 00:41:37,080 Speaker 2: other day for his fans storming the court after the game. 870 00:41:37,160 --> 00:41:40,399 Speaker 2: Cocks beat Kentucky seventy nine to sixty two, sixth rank 871 00:41:40,480 --> 00:41:43,080 Speaker 2: Kentucky the League of Nowns defined. I think it was Wednesday, 872 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,880 Speaker 2: a day after South Carolina men's basketball team won that game. 873 00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:50,520 Speaker 2: Who's over the highest ranked opponent at home in fourteen years? Okay, 874 00:41:50,600 --> 00:41:53,880 Speaker 2: but that's number one. They finded that one hundred thousand there. 875 00:41:54,040 --> 00:41:56,600 Speaker 2: But last week I believe it was Ohio State women 876 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,520 Speaker 2: playing Iowa and Caitlin Clark the store in Iowa. She 877 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,800 Speaker 2: was some do say trample, but she was run into. 878 00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,239 Speaker 2: After the game as Iowa lost to Ohio State, the 879 00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:10,239 Speaker 2: fans in Columbus, Ohio stormed the court there. There was 880 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:12,920 Speaker 2: a storming of the court in Tulane. In Cincinnati U 881 00:42:13,040 --> 00:42:16,279 Speaker 2: s b TCU and they stormed the court in Cincinnati 882 00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,640 Speaker 2: number one. You know, I don't want to be one 883 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,200 Speaker 2: of those again down her saying, oh, get off my lawn, 884 00:42:22,560 --> 00:42:25,200 Speaker 2: you can get hurt. I don't understand the logic here 885 00:42:25,400 --> 00:42:27,920 Speaker 2: where people just run down like in a Mayhem situation 886 00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:31,400 Speaker 2: and someone's obviously he's going to get hurt. And finally 887 00:42:31,680 --> 00:42:33,680 Speaker 2: someone came out the other day and say, yeah, we 888 00:42:33,800 --> 00:42:36,600 Speaker 2: got to stop this. Now someone's going to get really hurt. 889 00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:39,400 Speaker 2: You know, I don't see it. I remember back in 890 00:42:39,440 --> 00:42:42,440 Speaker 2: the day in college football they were doing it on 891 00:42:42,480 --> 00:42:45,560 Speaker 2: the field and they finally had to grease the polls, 892 00:42:45,880 --> 00:42:49,160 Speaker 2: the end zone polls because anyone anybody climbing up on them, 893 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:51,880 Speaker 2: so they slipped down there. Remember that. I mean, it's crazy, 894 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:52,319 Speaker 2: isn't it. 895 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:54,440 Speaker 1: Yeah, it is crazy. 896 00:42:54,520 --> 00:42:57,360 Speaker 3: And the reason why you want to have a controlled 897 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,120 Speaker 3: environment after games is because you just don't know when 898 00:43:00,160 --> 00:43:01,600 Speaker 3: you're a player where everyone. 899 00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,120 Speaker 1: Is coming from. 900 00:43:02,480 --> 00:43:05,640 Speaker 3: And ninety nine percent of the people that are rushing 901 00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:08,279 Speaker 3: the floor will do no harm to the players that 902 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:11,040 Speaker 3: are in the floor. It's really the exubers and excitement 903 00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:14,200 Speaker 3: of being a part of what maybe some would deem 904 00:43:14,239 --> 00:43:16,720 Speaker 3: in an historic moment. Right Normally you see people storm 905 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,200 Speaker 3: the court after a big upset or a big win 906 00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:22,719 Speaker 3: over rival or those things. The problem that you have 907 00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,080 Speaker 3: is you just don't know if there is someone who 908 00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 3: has bad intentions, and to allow a fan to have 909 00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:33,960 Speaker 3: that close contact with the player is dangerous, particularly when 910 00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:36,839 Speaker 3: you're the opposing team. So you want to control that. 911 00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:39,120 Speaker 3: You just don't know. And I know they have things 912 00:43:39,160 --> 00:43:41,280 Speaker 3: where they check for weapons and all that other stuff 913 00:43:41,360 --> 00:43:44,280 Speaker 3: like at the doors hopefully when they're entering the arena, 914 00:43:44,800 --> 00:43:48,000 Speaker 3: but you just don't know. And so your job as 915 00:43:48,120 --> 00:43:52,080 Speaker 3: the decision makers overseeing all of this safety of the players, 916 00:43:52,239 --> 00:43:54,160 Speaker 3: and so the number one thing is make sure everyone 917 00:43:54,200 --> 00:43:57,160 Speaker 3: that's involved in the action in the game on the court. 918 00:43:57,239 --> 00:43:59,360 Speaker 3: This make sure all those guys are protected. And the 919 00:43:59,360 --> 00:44:02,640 Speaker 3: best way to put TechEd them before and after the game, 920 00:44:02,920 --> 00:44:04,880 Speaker 3: not allow fans to be onto the court. 921 00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,640 Speaker 2: I couldn't agree way. And have you ever been involved 922 00:44:07,680 --> 00:44:10,040 Speaker 2: in a storming of the field situation in North Carolina 923 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 2: after a big win? 924 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:18,280 Speaker 3: Actually a few of them, but the one that stands out. 925 00:44:18,719 --> 00:44:20,719 Speaker 3: We were six four and one I think it was 926 00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:25,239 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety Georgia Tech. We tied a ten ten game. 927 00:44:25,320 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 3: Georgia Tech went on to win a share of the 928 00:44:27,480 --> 00:44:31,440 Speaker 3: national title, and we did didn't want to share the 929 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:34,160 Speaker 3: next title. They were number one or whatever with Bobby Ross. 930 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,759 Speaker 3: Maybe they didn't win the national title, but they were 931 00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:38,879 Speaker 3: top team. We knocked them off, and so they ran 932 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:42,120 Speaker 3: onto the field. They took the goal posts, and so 933 00:44:42,160 --> 00:44:44,040 Speaker 3: if you know Chapel Hill, they took the goal post 934 00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:46,439 Speaker 3: out of the stadium, and I guess they found them 935 00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:47,880 Speaker 3: on Franklin Street. 936 00:44:47,760 --> 00:44:49,120 Speaker 1: Like somehow they got them out of state. 937 00:44:49,239 --> 00:44:50,840 Speaker 3: I don't know how you get them out of the stadium, 938 00:44:51,040 --> 00:44:53,000 Speaker 3: but they got the goal posts up out of there. 939 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:56,480 Speaker 1: So that was the biggest win that I was. 940 00:44:56,400 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 3: Associated with, and so seeing that that was big time. 941 00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,160 Speaker 3: And did I think as a fan going to a 942 00:45:02,200 --> 00:45:04,000 Speaker 3: few Carolina basketball games? 943 00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,000 Speaker 1: I think Carolina Duke when Carolina may have beaten Duke. 944 00:45:07,320 --> 00:45:09,520 Speaker 3: I think we stormed the court number one versus number 945 00:45:09,520 --> 00:45:14,040 Speaker 3: two back in ninety one. Whatever Christen Lightenon was there, 946 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:15,320 Speaker 3: I think it was a big event. 947 00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,040 Speaker 2: You know, And I get it. People are happy, they're excited. 948 00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:19,840 Speaker 2: You know, you just want to show your emotions. But 949 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,880 Speaker 2: again it's kind of like it's a dangerous situation. They 950 00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:25,319 Speaker 2: got to do something to it. And now with the 951 00:45:25,560 --> 00:45:28,359 Speaker 2: fines coming out there, maybe it'll stop. But look, I'm 952 00:45:28,360 --> 00:45:31,319 Speaker 2: not one's going to say, you know, don't do this, 953 00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,239 Speaker 2: don't do that, but just a safety factor. And then 954 00:45:34,239 --> 00:45:36,640 Speaker 2: when I watch these games on TV on the Four 955 00:45:36,719 --> 00:45:39,799 Speaker 2: Letter Network, these announcers A don't say a word about it, 956 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:44,000 Speaker 2: or they're saying this is great. They're excited, they're exuberant. 957 00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:47,759 Speaker 2: They're no. No, I mean, you have the stage to 958 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,160 Speaker 2: go out there and tell people this is wrong, it's dangerous. 959 00:45:51,200 --> 00:45:53,120 Speaker 2: But they don't have to do unis. They don't have 960 00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:54,319 Speaker 2: to hang it downs to say it. 961 00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,399 Speaker 1: You know, No, they don't. And Andy I was right. 962 00:45:56,840 --> 00:45:59,959 Speaker 3: Georgia Tech won a national title that year, nineteen ninety 963 00:46:00,120 --> 00:46:03,400 Speaker 3: They were eleven zero and one, and the team that 964 00:46:03,440 --> 00:46:06,359 Speaker 3: they tied, the North Carolina tar Heels. We were six 965 00:46:06,440 --> 00:46:08,960 Speaker 3: four and one at the time. They shared a title 966 00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:13,120 Speaker 3: with Colorado. Colorado was eleven one and one. I think 967 00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:16,440 Speaker 3: Colorado had the crazy. 968 00:46:16,080 --> 00:46:17,640 Speaker 1: Thing in the orange bow when they had to do it. 969 00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:20,680 Speaker 3: But yeah, Georgia Tech and Colorado split the championship in 970 00:46:20,840 --> 00:46:21,760 Speaker 3: nineteen ninety. 971 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:22,600 Speaker 1: Who would have thought? 972 00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:25,120 Speaker 3: Who remembered that Georgia Tech was a dominant team like 973 00:46:25,120 --> 00:46:26,320 Speaker 3: that under Bobby Ross. 974 00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:30,200 Speaker 2: Wow, that's great, all right. Speaking of college athletics, D 975 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,160 Speaker 2: Paul fired that basketball coach Tony Stubblefield the other day. 976 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,319 Speaker 2: All right, he was head coach this city with three 977 00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 2: and fifteen overall of to Paul twenty eight and fifty four. 978 00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:41,200 Speaker 2: I mean, really and truly, a once proud program goes 979 00:46:41,239 --> 00:46:44,800 Speaker 2: down to twos. But you know the reasoning they gave, 980 00:46:44,920 --> 00:46:47,320 Speaker 2: at least in some circles, I mean the immediate reason. 981 00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 2: You know, the school had a statement he was fired. 982 00:46:49,560 --> 00:46:51,520 Speaker 2: They want to go to a different direction. But they 983 00:46:51,560 --> 00:46:55,480 Speaker 2: said that he couldn't raise nil money. And I said, 984 00:46:55,840 --> 00:46:57,560 Speaker 2: when does it have to be that a coach has 985 00:46:57,600 --> 00:47:00,359 Speaker 2: to raise nil money? This is a lot eat year 986 00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 2: for a new coach to raise nil money and with 987 00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:07,840 Speaker 2: a winning record, So I never understood why, well how 988 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:11,319 Speaker 2: a coach has to raise money. And I understand that 989 00:47:11,600 --> 00:47:14,080 Speaker 2: you want the boosters and the alums to really come 990 00:47:14,120 --> 00:47:16,799 Speaker 2: aboard and raise that money. And I guess if you're 991 00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,640 Speaker 2: not winning, they're not going to raise their money. So 992 00:47:18,680 --> 00:47:20,960 Speaker 2: they put two and two together. You're not winning, we're 993 00:47:20,960 --> 00:47:23,200 Speaker 2: not getting money. You're gone. That's the end of it. 994 00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:27,319 Speaker 3: So yes, foolish, I mean that's I mean, look, it 995 00:47:27,400 --> 00:47:32,360 Speaker 3: sounds crazy that has come to this, but the changing 996 00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,360 Speaker 3: dynamics of college football has made of a college sports, 997 00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 3: has made it where you have to be a major 998 00:47:38,040 --> 00:47:41,200 Speaker 3: fundraiser as a coach. You have to have collectives and 999 00:47:41,640 --> 00:47:44,799 Speaker 3: nil money or booster groups behind you to be able 1000 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:47,200 Speaker 3: to get some of the players that you need to 1001 00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:50,320 Speaker 3: be able to compete at the highest level. And maybe 1002 00:47:50,400 --> 00:47:52,960 Speaker 3: DePaul is making it where we can get new blood, 1003 00:47:53,239 --> 00:47:56,239 Speaker 3: new interest. It creates a new campaign. They can hit 1004 00:47:56,280 --> 00:48:00,040 Speaker 3: the reset button on what is needed to be a winning. 1005 00:47:59,840 --> 00:48:02,360 Speaker 2: Per You know, it's funny. I just don't think the 1006 00:48:02,440 --> 00:48:06,239 Speaker 2: NCAA thought long and hard with this nil situation when 1007 00:48:06,280 --> 00:48:09,319 Speaker 2: they put it to pass, because I don't think it's 1008 00:48:09,360 --> 00:48:11,960 Speaker 2: working to the extent they wanted it to work. At 1009 00:48:12,040 --> 00:48:14,279 Speaker 2: It's kind of like back in the day when the 1010 00:48:14,320 --> 00:48:16,279 Speaker 2: alum would come out down to the locker room and 1011 00:48:16,280 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 2: give them a sack of money and it was illegal, 1012 00:48:18,640 --> 00:48:20,920 Speaker 2: but they did it to get these players. Basically what 1013 00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:23,080 Speaker 2: they've done now, they made it legal to give you 1014 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:24,799 Speaker 2: the sack of money. And I don't think that's what 1015 00:48:24,840 --> 00:48:25,920 Speaker 2: they really wanted, do you. 1016 00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:30,279 Speaker 3: I don't think that was the direct intent. I don't 1017 00:48:30,280 --> 00:48:34,840 Speaker 3: think they thought it would be like that. The payer 1018 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:38,480 Speaker 3: play model has certainly changed everything when it comes to 1019 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:40,920 Speaker 3: college athletics, and I will tell you I'm an advocate 1020 00:48:40,960 --> 00:48:43,680 Speaker 3: for players getting a piece of the pie. For too long, 1021 00:48:43,760 --> 00:48:46,200 Speaker 3: there've been so many other people that have been benefiting 1022 00:48:46,320 --> 00:48:49,440 Speaker 3: off of the success of the players on the field, 1023 00:48:49,440 --> 00:48:53,319 Speaker 3: particularly the sussists on the players on the basketball and 1024 00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:57,480 Speaker 3: football teams, because they not only found fund the exorbitant 1025 00:48:57,520 --> 00:49:01,560 Speaker 3: salaries of the coaches the ads, but they also are 1026 00:49:01,640 --> 00:49:05,920 Speaker 3: funding all of the other sports programs that we're seeing. 1027 00:49:06,239 --> 00:49:08,440 Speaker 2: Increasing enrollment too, and selling merchandise. 1028 00:49:08,520 --> 00:49:10,719 Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean so there's a lot to it. 1029 00:49:10,760 --> 00:49:13,279 Speaker 3: So they certainly should have had a share of the 1030 00:49:13,320 --> 00:49:15,000 Speaker 3: BI and a lot of this could have been done 1031 00:49:15,400 --> 00:49:18,120 Speaker 3: if universities in the NC double A if they weren't 1032 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:20,680 Speaker 3: so greedy, and they would have just kicked back some 1033 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,240 Speaker 3: of the money to the players, you wouldn't. 1034 00:49:23,560 --> 00:49:26,040 Speaker 1: You would not have dealt or have had to deal 1035 00:49:26,080 --> 00:49:27,000 Speaker 1: with the. 1036 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:30,239 Speaker 3: Nil and the collectives and the way the money is now. 1037 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,160 Speaker 3: But because they didn't, it's become an NLL thing. And 1038 00:49:34,200 --> 00:49:36,719 Speaker 3: I think here's the part to think about. You have 1039 00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:38,799 Speaker 3: and I saw this, so I can't take credit for it. 1040 00:49:39,320 --> 00:49:46,040 Speaker 3: You have college sports being funded by hard working people 1041 00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:51,440 Speaker 3: fans who are paying players for the universities to profit 1042 00:49:51,480 --> 00:49:52,560 Speaker 3: in significant ways. 1043 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,200 Speaker 1: It doesn't make sense that we're asking. 1044 00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,960 Speaker 3: The lay people to pay these players when the universities 1045 00:49:58,040 --> 00:50:00,520 Speaker 3: in the NC Double A should have found the way 1046 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:03,680 Speaker 3: to share the revenue to make sure that the players 1047 00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,760 Speaker 3: were getting a piece of the pride that they helped create. 1048 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:09,319 Speaker 2: Exactly. I agree with you right there. All right, we 1049 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:10,640 Speaker 2: put that to bed, And now I'm going to move 1050 00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:14,000 Speaker 2: along to Bucky Brooks, thewriter NFL dot Com. Every Friday, 1051 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:16,520 Speaker 2: he's got to column up there, got to NFL dot com, 1052 00:50:16,520 --> 00:50:19,120 Speaker 2: scroll down to NFL Riters, and he always has something 1053 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:21,759 Speaker 2: interesting to say in his piece, and this week was 1054 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,759 Speaker 2: and I thought, maybe a little too early, but maybe 1055 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,520 Speaker 2: not You got a little bit of a preview of 1056 00:50:25,520 --> 00:50:27,880 Speaker 2: the NFL draft, and I want to go through that 1057 00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:29,560 Speaker 2: a little bit with you, not all of the picks, 1058 00:50:29,560 --> 00:50:31,719 Speaker 2: but at least the first maybe five with whatever, and 1059 00:50:31,800 --> 00:50:35,160 Speaker 2: the first picks the Chicago Bears, and you know, obviously 1060 00:50:35,239 --> 00:50:36,640 Speaker 2: you got to get a quarterback. You don't win in 1061 00:50:36,680 --> 00:50:38,480 Speaker 2: the NFL without a quarterback. And I think if you're 1062 00:50:38,480 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 2: a first rounder and the first pick in the first round, 1063 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,279 Speaker 2: I don't care what you I don't care who you are, 1064 00:50:43,280 --> 00:50:45,719 Speaker 2: you got to get a quarterback because you got that 1065 00:50:45,840 --> 00:50:49,040 Speaker 2: pick because you didn't have a quarterback, because you can't 1066 00:50:49,040 --> 00:50:51,200 Speaker 2: win with that one. So what do the Bears do 1067 00:50:51,440 --> 00:50:54,440 Speaker 2: because they have Justin Fields that they still go to quarterback. 1068 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:57,400 Speaker 3: Look, I think at the end of the day, you 1069 00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,839 Speaker 3: still have to take the quarterback. You have the numb 1070 00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:02,719 Speaker 3: one overall pick. Kayler Williams is the best quarterback in 1071 00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 3: this class. What you do with justin fields is a 1072 00:51:05,800 --> 00:51:08,680 Speaker 3: separate conversation from what you have to do in the draft, 1073 00:51:08,719 --> 00:51:10,160 Speaker 3: and you have to treat it as such. 1074 00:51:10,600 --> 00:51:11,520 Speaker 1: This is a rare. 1075 00:51:11,360 --> 00:51:13,799 Speaker 3: Opportunity for you to take a quarterback at the top 1076 00:51:13,840 --> 00:51:16,080 Speaker 3: of the draft that is a franchise quarterback. 1077 00:51:16,239 --> 00:51:18,080 Speaker 1: So you make the move, and then you have to 1078 00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:18,720 Speaker 1: make a decision. 1079 00:51:18,760 --> 00:51:20,799 Speaker 3: Okay, once we acquire Kayler Williams, what do we want 1080 00:51:20,840 --> 00:51:21,880 Speaker 3: to do with Justin Fields. 1081 00:51:22,239 --> 00:51:23,080 Speaker 1: Justin Fields is on. 1082 00:51:23,040 --> 00:51:26,880 Speaker 3: A six million dollar contract, so you have options. You 1083 00:51:26,920 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 3: can trade them. You obviously can keep them for this season. 1084 00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:33,240 Speaker 3: Let him be the initial starter. He and Kayleb Williams 1085 00:51:33,280 --> 00:51:35,680 Speaker 3: can compete. When Kayler Williams is ready to replace him, 1086 00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:41,000 Speaker 3: you replace him, you know. I think those options give 1087 00:51:41,040 --> 00:51:43,840 Speaker 3: you an opportunity to make the pick regardless of what 1088 00:51:43,880 --> 00:51:46,319 Speaker 3: the outside noise is. And then it's up to the 1089 00:51:46,400 --> 00:51:48,600 Speaker 3: coach's staff and the front office to figure out what 1090 00:51:48,640 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 3: do they do with Justin Fields. 1091 00:51:50,280 --> 00:51:52,319 Speaker 1: Does he stay and compete or does he go? 1092 00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,280 Speaker 3: And a lot of times the market will determine whether 1093 00:51:56,320 --> 00:51:58,840 Speaker 3: you keep him or whether you usher him out. I 1094 00:51:58,920 --> 00:52:01,759 Speaker 3: do know this year their quarterbacks to get hurt during 1095 00:52:01,760 --> 00:52:05,399 Speaker 3: the regular season, the Bears will always have an opportunity 1096 00:52:05,440 --> 00:52:07,880 Speaker 3: to move him. They may not get what they want 1097 00:52:08,239 --> 00:52:11,080 Speaker 3: immediately leading up to the draft, but if they keep him, 1098 00:52:11,600 --> 00:52:13,680 Speaker 3: maybe doing the trade by the time you get to 1099 00:52:13,719 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 3: the trade deadline. Maybe that's when a team that is 1100 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:20,160 Speaker 3: desperate because of their quarterback situation. Maybe that's when they 1101 00:52:20,200 --> 00:52:22,359 Speaker 3: pony up big bucks to have a quarterback like that. 1102 00:52:22,600 --> 00:52:24,879 Speaker 2: Okay, let's stick with Caleb Williams for a second. I mean, 1103 00:52:25,160 --> 00:52:27,960 Speaker 2: aren't there some questions on his leadership ability because after 1104 00:52:28,000 --> 00:52:31,040 Speaker 2: that last loss he was crying with his parents. I mean, 1105 00:52:31,520 --> 00:52:34,200 Speaker 2: there's got to be someone out there as a personnel 1106 00:52:34,280 --> 00:52:36,799 Speaker 2: person saying I'm not so certain I want him as 1107 00:52:36,800 --> 00:52:39,359 Speaker 2: a leader. He may have great skills, but as far 1108 00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:42,560 Speaker 2: as a leadership guy in that position, you're a leader 1109 00:52:42,800 --> 00:52:44,920 Speaker 2: on the team, I don't know if he could handle it. 1110 00:52:44,960 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 3: What do you think, ah, I mean, there can be 1111 00:52:47,640 --> 00:52:50,520 Speaker 3: some conversations about that. Doesn't mean that it's true. Doesn't 1112 00:52:50,560 --> 00:52:55,560 Speaker 3: mean that you can be vulnerable as a leader and 1113 00:52:55,640 --> 00:52:58,800 Speaker 3: be successful. I think a lot of it stems from 1114 00:52:59,640 --> 00:53:00,200 Speaker 3: how much. 1115 00:53:00,040 --> 00:53:01,520 Speaker 1: Do you like the kid? Do you like the work 1116 00:53:01,560 --> 00:53:02,760 Speaker 1: ethic to go with the talent? 1117 00:53:03,360 --> 00:53:06,560 Speaker 3: Does he answer those questions between the lines, How do 1118 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:08,959 Speaker 3: his teammates respond to him? What do his teammates say 1119 00:53:09,000 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 3: about him, whether the USC coaches and Oklahoma coaches that 1120 00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,440 Speaker 3: have been around him say about him. Preparation, the process 1121 00:53:16,480 --> 00:53:19,680 Speaker 3: and all those other things. You have to kick man, 1122 00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:22,480 Speaker 3: You got to check out all of the things that 1123 00:53:22,520 --> 00:53:24,960 Speaker 3: are around Kayley Williams before you make a decision to 1124 00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:27,280 Speaker 3: make him number one. Yeah, it may be a concern, 1125 00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 3: but you have to kind of balance it out and 1126 00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:31,560 Speaker 3: make sure you have the whole picture before you determine 1127 00:53:31,760 --> 00:53:33,279 Speaker 3: whether he's the right guy for the job or not. 1128 00:53:33,680 --> 00:53:35,640 Speaker 2: Okay, second pick is gonna be the Washington command As 1129 00:53:35,680 --> 00:53:37,880 Speaker 2: we mentioned early on that it's a great position for 1130 00:53:37,920 --> 00:53:40,200 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick, the coach there. They're open for a position 1131 00:53:40,239 --> 00:53:42,160 Speaker 2: for a coach and they're going to get a quarterback 1132 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:44,120 Speaker 2: for sure, and it could be your guy, Drake May. 1133 00:53:44,239 --> 00:53:46,640 Speaker 2: The only problem I have with Drake May right now 1134 00:53:46,640 --> 00:53:49,239 Speaker 2: out of North Carolina, He's only a sophomore, not a 1135 00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:52,160 Speaker 2: lot of experience under his belt. Is that a problem? 1136 00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:54,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a problem. I mean we've seen it be 1137 00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:55,520 Speaker 1: a problem for so long. 1138 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:57,239 Speaker 3: So many of the quarterbacks that are flamed out have 1139 00:53:57,320 --> 00:54:03,520 Speaker 3: not played significant, significant snaps in college and the NFL 1140 00:54:03,600 --> 00:54:07,080 Speaker 3: game is faster. You're just dealing with different things when 1141 00:54:07,080 --> 00:54:09,040 Speaker 3: it comes to the complex nature of the game, and 1142 00:54:09,080 --> 00:54:12,600 Speaker 3: without that experience, it can make life miserable for the 1143 00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:15,279 Speaker 3: quarterback and the team. Drake Made is a really good 1144 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,879 Speaker 3: prospect man. He has all the prototypical physical dimensions, talents, 1145 00:54:19,000 --> 00:54:23,480 Speaker 3: all of that great kid leader, all of that checks 1146 00:54:23,920 --> 00:54:26,759 Speaker 3: off in his favor. The issue that I would have 1147 00:54:26,920 --> 00:54:30,400 Speaker 3: is you don't see any notable wins on his resume, 1148 00:54:30,880 --> 00:54:33,719 Speaker 3: and without notable wins, how are you confident that he 1149 00:54:33,719 --> 00:54:37,680 Speaker 3: can be a franchise guy that can elevate the franchise 1150 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:41,359 Speaker 3: or can he just maintain wherever the franchise is. You 1151 00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:43,359 Speaker 3: have to see and the I mean, you can talk 1152 00:54:43,400 --> 00:54:45,239 Speaker 3: to him or whatever, but it's a guessing game, and 1153 00:54:45,280 --> 00:54:47,680 Speaker 3: whoever takes him is going to be guessing on the 1154 00:54:47,760 --> 00:54:52,239 Speaker 3: prototypical upside is going to allow him to elevate the 1155 00:54:52,280 --> 00:54:53,720 Speaker 3: squad that he joins. 1156 00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:56,400 Speaker 2: Why would you take Drake May over Jadeen Daniels? And 1157 00:54:56,480 --> 00:54:58,600 Speaker 2: obviously the Patriots have the third pick, pig it to 1158 00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:01,279 Speaker 2: go for a quarterback as well. You got Jayden Daniels three. 1159 00:55:01,480 --> 00:55:03,480 Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you take Daniels who is a senior, a 1160 00:55:03,480 --> 00:55:05,960 Speaker 2: little more experienced under his belt. Why wouldn't you take 1161 00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:07,040 Speaker 2: him over Drake May? 1162 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,040 Speaker 1: Bigger, maybe more talented as a thrower. 1163 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:15,439 Speaker 3: That's why he's more of the prototype that we've seen 1164 00:55:15,560 --> 00:55:18,000 Speaker 3: have success in the league for a long time. Jade 1165 00:55:18,120 --> 00:55:21,439 Speaker 3: Daniels for all of the things that we can rave 1166 00:55:21,480 --> 00:55:24,440 Speaker 3: about as a Heisman Trophy winner, He's slender man. He's 1167 00:55:24,440 --> 00:55:27,680 Speaker 3: slender and skinny. For those who had issue with Lamar 1168 00:55:27,800 --> 00:55:30,280 Speaker 3: Jackson coming into the league running around and doing stuff 1169 00:55:30,320 --> 00:55:33,200 Speaker 3: as a slender two hundred and thirteen pounds player, you're 1170 00:55:33,200 --> 00:55:35,600 Speaker 3: gonna have some of those same things with Jayde Daniels. 1171 00:55:35,719 --> 00:55:37,600 Speaker 3: I will also say this because people will try and 1172 00:55:37,640 --> 00:55:40,680 Speaker 3: make the lazy comparison between Jayden and Daniels and Lamar Jackson. 1173 00:55:41,320 --> 00:55:45,719 Speaker 3: They're not similar as players. Lamar Jackson to me far 1174 00:55:45,760 --> 00:55:48,600 Speaker 3: more explosive and dynamic as a runner. Jaye Dais is 1175 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,480 Speaker 3: a good runner. Lamar Jackson was a great runner. There 1176 00:55:51,600 --> 00:55:52,320 Speaker 3: is a difference. 1177 00:55:52,680 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 1: That's it. 1178 00:55:53,080 --> 00:55:56,879 Speaker 3: He's improved a lot going from Arizona State to Louisiana State, 1179 00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,480 Speaker 3: playing under Brian Kelly, he should have an opportunity to 1180 00:55:59,520 --> 00:56:00,319 Speaker 3: be a great. 1181 00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,160 Speaker 2: Okay, last, but not least, the fourth pit will stick 1182 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,880 Speaker 2: with this one. Arizona Cardinals. You got Marvin Harris and 1183 00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,799 Speaker 2: this guy, as you mentioned, like a Larry Fitzgerald playmaker 1184 00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:12,000 Speaker 2: that's really going to push Arizona to make them a 1185 00:56:12,040 --> 00:56:14,040 Speaker 2: playoff team. No doubt in my mind, they'll be a 1186 00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:16,719 Speaker 2: playoff team, especially with Marvin Harrison Junior there. 1187 00:56:17,400 --> 00:56:18,160 Speaker 1: Good player man. 1188 00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,600 Speaker 3: Obviously, bloodlines are their Hall of Fame Dad, He's learned 1189 00:56:21,600 --> 00:56:25,560 Speaker 3: a lot along the way. Big fast, physical, great catch radius, 1190 00:56:25,600 --> 00:56:27,640 Speaker 3: Reminding me a lot of Larry Fitzgerald in terms of 1191 00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:30,760 Speaker 3: just a steady demeanor, can handle the weight of expectations 1192 00:56:30,800 --> 00:56:34,000 Speaker 3: that will accompany being a top five pick. He should 1193 00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:35,920 Speaker 3: be good to go. Don't know if it makes the 1194 00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:39,160 Speaker 3: Cardinals title contender. Put because the wide. 1195 00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:41,080 Speaker 1: Receivers are kind of like the icing on the cake. 1196 00:56:41,600 --> 00:56:43,520 Speaker 1: Got to make sure that the cake has been fully baked. 1197 00:56:43,560 --> 00:56:46,080 Speaker 1: When it comes to the offensive and defensive lines. Here 1198 00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:46,279 Speaker 1: you go. 1199 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:49,240 Speaker 2: If you want more NFL dot Com scroll down riders. 1200 00:56:49,239 --> 00:56:51,440 Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks has them all.

Now, 1221 00:57:53,920 --> 00:57:57,040 Speaker 2: let's talk about matchup. Let's talk about Chiefs at Ravens. 1222 00:57:57,640 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 2: I'm not so certain what this means. Maybe you. Ravens 1223 00:58:00,880 --> 00:58:03,400 Speaker 2: have won seven of the last eight. They lost seventeen 1224 00:58:03,440 --> 00:58:06,680 Speaker 2: to ten against the Steelers, but Lamar Jackson didn't play obviously. 1225 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson, I think is the best player on the 1226 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,240 Speaker 2: field today. You could take your Patrick Mahomes whatever you 1227 00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:14,360 Speaker 2: want to do with him. He's had a great lineup 1228 00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 2: around him. I would say Lamar Jackson hands down best 1229 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,720 Speaker 2: player on the field in this game today. 1230 00:58:25,480 --> 00:58:28,240 Speaker 3: I don't know if I can say hands down. I 1231 00:58:28,280 --> 00:58:30,200 Speaker 3: will say he and Pat Mahomes are the two best 1232 00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 3: players there. I would take Lamar Jackson based on what 1233 00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:34,520 Speaker 3: he's done this year. 1234 00:58:35,040 --> 00:58:38,120 Speaker 1: That's it. Pat Mahomes is the best we've seen at 1235 00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:38,600 Speaker 1: the position. 1236 00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:41,720 Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes is the next one that we will call 1237 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:44,320 Speaker 3: the goat at the position based on what he's done 1238 00:58:44,400 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 3: individually and collectively with his teammates. Two times MVP, two 1239 00:58:49,200 --> 00:58:51,720 Speaker 3: times Super Bowl winner, three Super Bowl appearances in his 1240 00:58:51,800 --> 00:58:54,480 Speaker 3: first six seasons as a starter. There are not many 1241 00:58:54,520 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 3: that can do what Pat Mahomes is being able to do. 1242 00:58:56,800 --> 00:58:59,360 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson is a force of nature, a freak show 1243 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,240 Speaker 3: when it comes to the talent. This is what we 1244 00:59:02,560 --> 00:59:08,000 Speaker 3: matched up is the new Brady Versus Manning rovaly. I 1245 00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:09,680 Speaker 3: know we try and do that with josh Allen, but 1246 00:59:09,800 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 3: Josh Allen doesn't have the individual accomplishments that Lamar Jackson 1247 00:59:13,280 --> 00:59:16,560 Speaker 3: has to make it a true rivalry. That's why this 1248 00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,480 Speaker 3: is the Rovaly that everyone wants to see and Lamar 1249 00:59:19,600 --> 00:59:22,640 Speaker 3: Jackson needs to win so we really can build it 1250 00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:24,880 Speaker 3: up as the rivalry that will be the next Rovaly 1251 00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:27,720 Speaker 3: that we watch for the for the next ten years. 1252 00:59:28,080 --> 00:59:30,360 Speaker 2: And if Lamar Jackson and both of more Ravens win, 1253 00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,200 Speaker 2: he gives, like Patrick Mahomes a bit of a shove 1254 00:59:33,320 --> 00:59:36,360 Speaker 2: off that stage and it gets the monkey off his back, 1255 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:38,200 Speaker 2: which is that he couldn't win in the big games. 1256 00:59:38,240 --> 00:59:40,720 Speaker 2: But and you look at the stats. Look, I understand 1257 00:59:40,720 --> 00:59:43,520 Speaker 2: what you're saying. Patrick Mahomes has done a lot collectively 1258 00:59:43,720 --> 00:59:46,200 Speaker 2: with the team, you know, the championships, the Super Bowls. 1259 00:59:46,240 --> 00:59:48,400 Speaker 2: Ever may be I look at his stats this year, 1260 00:59:48,600 --> 00:59:51,720 Speaker 2: twenty seven touchdowns, fourteen interceptions. This has not been his 1261 00:59:51,920 --> 00:59:54,880 Speaker 2: greatest of years, although he passed over four thousand yards. 1262 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,200 Speaker 2: I look at Lamar Jackson twenty four touchdowns, seven I nts. 1263 00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:03,320 Speaker 2: Both quarterbacks of their percentage the Patsy percentage about to 1264 01:00:03,320 --> 01:00:06,520 Speaker 2: say about sixty seven percent. But I think Lamar Jackson 1265 01:00:06,560 --> 01:00:09,800 Speaker 2: has done more because he's more of a complete player, running, 1266 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:12,320 Speaker 2: running the foot with the football, and more than that, 1267 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,080 Speaker 2: I think that there's more talent on Kansas City. So 1268 01:00:15,160 --> 01:00:18,920 Speaker 2: I give the complements more so to Lamar Jackson has 1269 01:00:18,960 --> 01:00:22,040 Speaker 2: gotten it done. Certainly, his defense is great in Baltimore. 1270 01:00:22,200 --> 01:00:24,720 Speaker 2: But I think he's got it done. More so because 1271 01:00:24,800 --> 01:00:27,280 Speaker 2: his offensive unit. I don't think it's as strong as 1272 01:00:27,360 --> 01:00:28,760 Speaker 2: Kansas City. 1273 01:00:28,960 --> 01:00:31,000 Speaker 3: Oh, hold on, I can't go with you on that one, 1274 01:00:31,040 --> 01:00:33,000 Speaker 3: all right. I think the Baltimore Ravens have a better 1275 01:00:33,040 --> 01:00:36,720 Speaker 3: team than the kans City Chiefs against. Yeah, the kan 1276 01:00:36,760 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 3: City Chiefs are underdogs for a reason. When you think 1277 01:00:39,920 --> 01:00:43,560 Speaker 3: about the offensive talent based on the kan City Chiefs 1278 01:00:43,600 --> 01:00:46,440 Speaker 3: and the Baltimore Ravens. The Baltimore Ravens have four former 1279 01:00:46,520 --> 01:00:49,800 Speaker 3: first rounders on the wide receiver corps Odell Beckham, Junior 1280 01:00:50,120 --> 01:00:55,240 Speaker 3: Zay Flowers, Nelson Aguilar, and Rashad Bateman. Their offensive line, 1281 01:00:55,360 --> 01:00:57,800 Speaker 3: I would say their offensive line is better than the 1282 01:00:57,880 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 3: kan City Chiefs offensive line. Running back, I think that's 1283 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:03,960 Speaker 3: where you can have the conversation. Isaiah Pacheka is a 1284 01:01:03,960 --> 01:01:06,800 Speaker 3: better running back than anybody that the Baltimore Ravens can 1285 01:01:06,840 --> 01:01:10,720 Speaker 3: trot out if he plays, Yeah, I mean if he plays, 1286 01:01:10,920 --> 01:01:13,720 Speaker 3: and so to me, I'm looking at a Kancie the 1287 01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:16,160 Speaker 3: Chiefs team that is really a one man show. 1288 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:17,760 Speaker 1: Pat mahomes is. 1289 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,240 Speaker 3: It's kind of out there, like Lebron James with those 1290 01:01:20,240 --> 01:01:22,919 Speaker 3: old Cleveland Cavalier teams where he's having to do it all. 1291 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:25,840 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's supporting cast is better, and then he has 1292 01:01:25,880 --> 01:01:28,760 Speaker 3: the number one defense on his side, and he has 1293 01:01:28,800 --> 01:01:32,960 Speaker 3: an all time great as a kicker. All of the 1294 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,440 Speaker 3: cards are in favor of the Lamar Jackson, which is 1295 01:01:35,480 --> 01:01:39,000 Speaker 3: why if Pat Mahomes pulls this off, then we have 1296 01:01:39,320 --> 01:01:43,280 Speaker 3: no choice but to call him the goat. Even talking 1297 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,680 Speaker 3: about Tom Brady's six super Bowl rings and all seven 1298 01:01:46,720 --> 01:01:50,080 Speaker 3: super Bowl rings, it's different because Pat Mahomes is doing 1299 01:01:50,160 --> 01:01:52,560 Speaker 3: the most with the least, and at the beginning of 1300 01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:56,880 Speaker 3: his career he had all the advantages. Now he doesn't 1301 01:01:56,880 --> 01:01:58,800 Speaker 3: have the advantages, but he knows how to win, and 1302 01:01:58,840 --> 01:02:00,760 Speaker 3: that know how is what pushed them over the top. 1303 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:03,400 Speaker 2: I have to take somewhat of an exception with you saying, look, 1304 01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:06,840 Speaker 2: you mentioned these receivers on Baltimore, Odell Beckham, his best 1305 01:02:06,880 --> 01:02:09,480 Speaker 2: days are behind them. There's no doubt about that. Agalog. 1306 01:02:09,640 --> 01:02:11,880 Speaker 2: I don't put him up. There's a great receiver. Andrews 1307 01:02:11,920 --> 01:02:14,320 Speaker 2: is the guy, and hopefully he'll play today. He was 1308 01:02:14,360 --> 01:02:16,520 Speaker 2: out most of it. His eight Flowers is the number 1309 01:02:16,560 --> 01:02:19,200 Speaker 2: one guy. Flowers is the one receiver. 1310 01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:21,160 Speaker 1: Right, Okay, So then I'll counter to you. 1311 01:02:21,600 --> 01:02:23,680 Speaker 3: If we're having a draft where we're gonna play in 1312 01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,080 Speaker 3: your backyard and we have Odell Beckham Junior, Nelson Agelo, 1313 01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:31,880 Speaker 3: but we also have Sky Moore, mvs Marquez Valdez Gantling, 1314 01:02:32,160 --> 01:02:35,960 Speaker 3: we have Justin Watkins in those guys. Are you taking 1315 01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:38,480 Speaker 3: those guys over anybody that we listened in Baltimore? 1316 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 2: Well, you're right, Okay, I get you, And look it 1317 01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,360 Speaker 2: all boils down to one game. Ay, Beckham may have 1318 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:46,000 Speaker 2: a hell of a game to we don't know. I mean, 1319 01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:48,720 Speaker 2: I'm just looking with the past. Performance is what he's done, 1320 01:02:48,920 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 2: and certainly he's been a better player years ago before 1321 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,840 Speaker 2: the injuries, and I just think he's not the same 1322 01:02:53,880 --> 01:02:54,600 Speaker 2: player he was. 1323 01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:55,480 Speaker 1: He just can't be. 1324 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:58,240 Speaker 2: He's older, he was hurt, whatever it may be, and 1325 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,800 Speaker 2: maybe he's not needed as badly. Big of the way 1326 01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,720 Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson plays, you know, just Lamar Jackson. To me, 1327 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:08,600 Speaker 2: it's just an exciting He creates so much. He could 1328 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:11,160 Speaker 2: do so much. Not that Patrick Mahomes can't. I mean 1329 01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:12,680 Speaker 2: he can run with the football as well. 1330 01:03:13,880 --> 01:03:16,240 Speaker 3: No, I mean, look, look, I think we're splitting Harris. 1331 01:03:16,480 --> 01:03:19,200 Speaker 3: I think we're both of those guys. We're talking about that. 1332 01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:23,000 Speaker 3: I think the interesting thing will be I believe that 1333 01:03:23,080 --> 01:03:26,120 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson has taken a page from Pat Mahomes's book, 1334 01:03:26,760 --> 01:03:29,560 Speaker 3: and rather than the Baltimore Ravens running him like they 1335 01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:32,200 Speaker 3: used to run him in the past quarterback power, where 1336 01:03:32,200 --> 01:03:36,080 Speaker 3: he's basically playing tailback, they're running him like Pat Mahomes 1337 01:03:36,080 --> 01:03:42,080 Speaker 3: elects to run scrambles, improvisational plays, spread the formation out. 1338 01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:43,200 Speaker 1: He takes off running. 1339 01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:46,480 Speaker 3: He's not subject to the same violent hits that he 1340 01:03:46,680 --> 01:03:49,160 Speaker 3: was when he was the primary ball career, even though 1341 01:03:49,200 --> 01:03:51,720 Speaker 3: he's still tallying up the same amount of yardage. 1342 01:03:52,320 --> 01:03:55,080 Speaker 2: Well, I tell you why. It's the most telling statistic 1343 01:03:55,320 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 2: when you look at this game is that both quarterble no, actually, 1344 01:03:59,520 --> 01:04:02,760 Speaker 2: Lamar action is the leading rusher on Baltimore with like 1345 01:04:02,800 --> 01:04:05,640 Speaker 2: something like eight hundred and twenty one yards, followed by Edwards, 1346 01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 2: and then in Kansas City Mahomes is the second leading rusher. 1347 01:04:09,320 --> 01:04:11,640 Speaker 2: So you got quarterbacks right now that could beat you 1348 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:13,840 Speaker 2: with their legs and beat it with yourrom That's the 1349 01:04:13,920 --> 01:04:14,600 Speaker 2: key right there. 1350 01:04:15,400 --> 01:04:16,760 Speaker 3: That is the key, and that's the way the game 1351 01:04:16,840 --> 01:04:19,920 Speaker 3: is evolving. The game requires and demands that you have 1352 01:04:20,040 --> 01:04:23,040 Speaker 3: athleticism at the quarterback position because What that does is 1353 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:26,200 Speaker 3: when your quarterback is athletic, he lightens the load on 1354 01:04:26,240 --> 01:04:28,920 Speaker 3: the offensive play caller. The play caller doesn't have to 1355 01:04:28,920 --> 01:04:30,840 Speaker 3: be absolutely. 1356 01:04:30,280 --> 01:04:32,439 Speaker 1: Perfect when it comes to calling the game. 1357 01:04:33,200 --> 01:04:36,520 Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes and Lamar Jackson can both kind of erase 1358 01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:40,120 Speaker 3: poor play calls with their athleticism. That's the way the 1359 01:04:40,160 --> 01:04:42,360 Speaker 3: game is going. I mean, look, that's how it has 1360 01:04:42,400 --> 01:04:42,600 Speaker 3: to be. 1361 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,680 Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. Now, Look you look at 1362 01:04:45,720 --> 01:04:48,720 Speaker 2: matchups in this game. Travis Kelsey's got to come up 1363 01:04:48,760 --> 01:04:50,640 Speaker 2: big today. And I think you got the old pro 1364 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:54,000 Speaker 2: safety Kyle Hamilton on Travis Kelsey. That's gonna be a 1365 01:04:54,040 --> 01:04:56,400 Speaker 2: pretty good matchup. But see what Kelsey could do today. 1366 01:04:57,880 --> 01:05:00,720 Speaker 3: Yeah, Kelsey needs to be at his best. The Kancity 1367 01:05:00,800 --> 01:05:02,520 Speaker 3: Chiefs need all their guys to show up. They got 1368 01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:04,720 Speaker 3: to show up and show out. They will not be 1369 01:05:04,760 --> 01:05:07,280 Speaker 3: able to win if Travis Kelse doesn't play great. They 1370 01:05:07,320 --> 01:05:10,840 Speaker 3: won't win if for Shae Rice doesn't Rashie Rice doesn't 1371 01:05:10,840 --> 01:05:13,520 Speaker 3: make a handful of plays. Their best players have to 1372 01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,919 Speaker 3: come up and key situations for them. 1373 01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 2: There you going, and who do you like? I like 1374 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:19,840 Speaker 2: the Ravens close game. I like the Ravens. 1375 01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,240 Speaker 3: Yeah, I like the Ravens. To me, I think the 1376 01:05:22,280 --> 01:05:25,840 Speaker 3: Ravens have more paths to victory. The only way the 1377 01:05:25,880 --> 01:05:28,520 Speaker 3: Kansaity Chiefs can win this game is that the Baltimore 1378 01:05:28,600 --> 01:05:31,000 Speaker 3: Ravens helped them by turning the ball over and just 1379 01:05:31,080 --> 01:05:35,080 Speaker 3: completely falling apart under the pressure and the weight of expectations. 1380 01:05:35,320 --> 01:05:37,919 Speaker 3: If they just play, I would say a normal game 1381 01:05:37,960 --> 01:05:40,120 Speaker 3: for the Baltimore Ravens. I think they win by ten 1382 01:05:40,120 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 3: plus points. 1383 01:05:41,320 --> 01:05:43,480 Speaker 2: Interesting, I tell you what. One of the telling stats 1384 01:05:43,520 --> 01:05:45,439 Speaker 2: as well is the fact that the Ravens is I mentioned, 1385 01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 2: coming to this game winning seven of the list. They 1386 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:49,840 Speaker 2: are somewhat of a role and Kansas City has won 1387 01:05:49,920 --> 01:05:52,560 Speaker 2: five of their last six. They're starting to show some life. 1388 01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:54,720 Speaker 2: But they were up and down and their offense was 1389 01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,080 Speaker 2: a little shaky in the mid part of the season. 1390 01:05:58,720 --> 01:06:01,440 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean their offense was shape but till they 1391 01:06:01,520 --> 01:06:03,720 Speaker 3: credit Andy Reid and his team, they've been there so 1392 01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:05,640 Speaker 3: much they know how to figure it out. Pat Mahomes 1393 01:06:05,680 --> 01:06:09,120 Speaker 3: is thirteen and three in the postseason, thirteen and three, 1394 01:06:09,600 --> 01:06:13,080 Speaker 3: so he's the ultimate winner. He knows in these situations 1395 01:06:13,200 --> 01:06:15,920 Speaker 3: what he needs to do to win games, and he's 1396 01:06:15,920 --> 01:06:18,640 Speaker 3: certainly gonna make it. He's gonna make it a game 1397 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:21,320 Speaker 3: because he's good enough to do it. But we're talking 1398 01:06:21,320 --> 01:06:24,160 Speaker 3: about the number one defense in football in the Baltimore Ravens. 1399 01:06:25,800 --> 01:06:29,200 Speaker 3: The Chiefs weaponry or firepower. I don't know if they 1400 01:06:29,200 --> 01:06:32,200 Speaker 3: have enough weapons to challenge this defense like some could. 1401 01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:34,840 Speaker 2: I just hope it's not a blowout. We'll see about that. 1402 01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,840 Speaker 2: He's the man, He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman. And 1403 01:06:37,840 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 2: by the way, there are advantages on the line. That's next. 1404 01:06:40,400 --> 01:06:42,640 Speaker 2: We're a little sorry. Kevin Ryot. Here you go with 1405 01:06:42,720 --> 01:06:43,400 Speaker 2: all your sports. 1406 01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:49,080 Speaker 4: He has just gone final down in Melbourne, Australia. Jennick 1407 01:06:49,120 --> 01:06:53,000 Speaker 4: Sonnaire the Italian, winning of the Australian Open Championship in 1408 01:06:53,160 --> 01:06:56,439 Speaker 4: five sets over Danil Medvedev. This is the second time 1409 01:06:56,480 --> 01:07:00,640 Speaker 4: that Medvedev has lost a major championship wall leading two 1410 01:07:00,760 --> 01:07:04,000 Speaker 4: sets to none. He's the first player to lose two 1411 01:07:04,040 --> 01:07:07,600 Speaker 4: major championships while being up two sets to none, and 1412 01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:12,920 Speaker 4: they both happened at the Australian Open. NFL news today 1413 01:07:13,240 --> 01:07:15,400 Speaker 4: a couple of players will not be participating in the 1414 01:07:15,440 --> 01:07:19,320 Speaker 4: Conference championship game.

But Dan Campbell has kind of spoke this 1451 01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:15,519 Speaker 3: team into existence. He talked about the toughness, he talked 1452 01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,120 Speaker 3: about how they would fight, the grittiness and all those 1453 01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,439 Speaker 3: things America loves that. 1454 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:21,479 Speaker 1: I think we love a comeback story. 1455 01:09:21,680 --> 01:09:26,160 Speaker 3: Jared Goff being dismissed by the La Rams after leading 1456 01:09:26,200 --> 01:09:27,840 Speaker 3: them to a Super Bowl, and even though it worked 1457 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:29,280 Speaker 3: out for the Rams where they won a Super Bowl 1458 01:09:29,280 --> 01:09:34,320 Speaker 3: with Matthew Stafford, they basically send him to die in 1459 01:09:34,360 --> 01:09:36,240 Speaker 3: the football cemetery of Detroit. 1460 01:09:36,560 --> 01:09:39,040 Speaker 1: He's not only bounced back. 1461 01:09:39,120 --> 01:09:41,920 Speaker 3: Individually, but he's led his team on the verge of 1462 01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:44,760 Speaker 3: doing something that is really really special. He's done it 1463 01:09:44,880 --> 01:09:47,479 Speaker 3: displaying more toughness and grit than anybody thought that he 1464 01:09:47,479 --> 01:09:48,160 Speaker 3: would possess. 1465 01:09:50,200 --> 01:09:51,920 Speaker 1: People love those stories. 1466 01:09:51,680 --> 01:09:54,080 Speaker 3: And so this is a chance for them to do it, 1467 01:09:54,120 --> 01:09:55,880 Speaker 3: and they're going to do it against a team that 1468 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,040 Speaker 3: is regarded as one of the bullies on the block 1469 01:09:58,200 --> 01:10:01,600 Speaker 3: along with the Baltimore Ravens. Lions can go toe to 1470 01:10:01,640 --> 01:10:03,960 Speaker 3: toe with the San Francisco forty nine ers and knock 1471 01:10:04,040 --> 01:10:04,519 Speaker 3: them off. 1472 01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:05,799 Speaker 1: Man, you just talked. 1473 01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:08,000 Speaker 3: About the Super Bowl having one of the best stories 1474 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,920 Speaker 3: that we've ever had in terms of the Lions getting 1475 01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:14,080 Speaker 3: off the matt and making their way into being a 1476 01:10:14,120 --> 01:10:15,840 Speaker 3: Super de Bowl participant. 1477 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:18,640 Speaker 2: Anybody who watched Hard Knocks on HBO prior to the 1478 01:10:18,680 --> 01:10:20,960 Speaker 2: season watched the Detroit Lions, you had to fall in 1479 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:23,360 Speaker 2: love with not only the team but the coach, Dan Campbell, 1480 01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,519 Speaker 2: and I love it the fact that Dan Campbell right 1481 01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:28,000 Speaker 2: now is somewhat getting the last left because when he 1482 01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,439 Speaker 2: was introduced as the head coach of the Detroit Lions, 1483 01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:32,800 Speaker 2: they laughed at him at that news conference, and now 1484 01:10:32,800 --> 01:10:36,040 Speaker 2: he's got the last left. He's grumpy, he's irritabile of times, 1485 01:10:36,080 --> 01:10:38,320 Speaker 2: I guess, but he's got passion. He loves the game 1486 01:10:38,360 --> 01:10:40,120 Speaker 2: of football, and I got to believe every one of 1487 01:10:40,160 --> 01:10:43,320 Speaker 2: those players on that Lions team loves playing for that guy. 1488 01:10:43,680 --> 01:10:45,880 Speaker 2: He's been there, done that. As you mentioned early on, 1489 01:10:46,040 --> 01:10:48,360 Speaker 2: he com into immediate respect. Why he played the game, 1490 01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:51,160 Speaker 2: he suit it up. But he's got that emotion to passion. 1491 01:10:51,360 --> 01:10:53,639 Speaker 2: He loves the game, he loves to coach, and they 1492 01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,439 Speaker 2: love him. 1493 01:10:55,920 --> 01:10:57,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean they do love him. 1494 01:10:57,840 --> 01:11:01,799 Speaker 3: He's done a really good job of being a great leader, 1495 01:11:02,320 --> 01:11:06,000 Speaker 3: you know, being able to be very transparent what he demands. 1496 01:11:06,040 --> 01:11:09,280 Speaker 3: He hasn't relented off of those things. So I can 1497 01:11:09,280 --> 01:11:12,439 Speaker 3: appreciate the job that he has done and rebuilding this team. 1498 01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:14,800 Speaker 3: But it's not only him, it's what he's assembled in 1499 01:11:14,840 --> 01:11:17,840 Speaker 3: the front office. Brad Holmes having conviction to make the 1500 01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:21,679 Speaker 3: move to get Jered Goff, Brad Holmes drafting three great 1501 01:11:21,720 --> 01:11:25,639 Speaker 3: classes back to back to back The list of former 1502 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:29,080 Speaker 3: players that are having some kind of inpult and impact 1503 01:11:29,400 --> 01:11:33,280 Speaker 3: on the organization can also not be underscored. This is 1504 01:11:33,280 --> 01:11:35,519 Speaker 3: a team and an organization that has done it and 1505 01:11:35,560 --> 01:11:36,479 Speaker 3: attempted to do it. 1506 01:11:36,400 --> 01:11:39,080 Speaker 1: The right way. They're now being rewarded for their patients 1507 01:11:39,360 --> 01:11:41,439 Speaker 1: and their persistence in terms of getting this done. 1508 01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,200 Speaker 2: There you go forty nine ers of one, eight of 1509 01:11:43,240 --> 01:11:45,080 Speaker 2: the last ten lines of five and one in their 1510 01:11:45,120 --> 01:11:47,599 Speaker 2: last six. And you mentioned this early on today, let's 1511 01:11:47,800 --> 01:11:50,320 Speaker 2: expand a little bit. Deebo Samuel is going to play today. 1512 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,960 Speaker 2: How important is Deepo Samuel on the offensive side of 1513 01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:54,360 Speaker 2: the ball for the forty nine ers? 1514 01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:56,599 Speaker 1: Yeah? 1515 01:11:56,680 --> 01:12:01,479 Speaker 3: I mean, look, Deebo Samuel being available, Christian McCaffrey being available. 1516 01:12:01,560 --> 01:12:03,559 Speaker 3: They need both of their stars to step up and 1517 01:12:03,560 --> 01:12:06,240 Speaker 3: play well. We always talk about George Kittle and Brandon 1518 01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:08,840 Speaker 3: Ayyuk and those guys, but the straw that stirs to 1519 01:12:08,920 --> 01:12:11,519 Speaker 3: drink for the Niners or CMC and D ball and 1520 01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:14,640 Speaker 3: if both are available, it makes his team damn dangerous. 1521 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:17,960 Speaker 3: People will talk about brock Purdy and they'll put the 1522 01:12:18,000 --> 01:12:21,240 Speaker 3: emphasis on brock purity in the passing game. It's not 1523 01:12:21,320 --> 01:12:26,080 Speaker 3: about brock Purdy's play and potential. It's about Rock Purdy's 1524 01:12:26,120 --> 01:12:29,960 Speaker 3: ability to distribute a ball to the best players on 1525 01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 3: the Niners DBO CMC, and then everybody feeds up under debt. 1526 01:12:34,200 --> 01:12:36,360 Speaker 3: If he has those guys available and if he is 1527 01:12:36,400 --> 01:12:38,760 Speaker 3: able to kind of get in his bag and just 1528 01:12:38,800 --> 01:12:42,720 Speaker 3: be a distributor, the Niners can roll through anybody. 1529 01:12:42,800 --> 01:12:44,720 Speaker 1: And so it's really as simple as that. If you're 1530 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:45,400 Speaker 1: the Niners. 1531 01:12:45,720 --> 01:12:47,960 Speaker 2: Okay, now the matchup right now. X factor is the 1532 01:12:48,000 --> 01:12:50,639 Speaker 2: advantage the Detroit Lions in my heart and my heart 1533 01:12:50,640 --> 01:12:52,760 Speaker 2: of hearts, because I think I'm rooting for them more 1534 01:12:52,840 --> 01:12:55,880 Speaker 2: so than my heart than my mind. But I think 1535 01:12:55,880 --> 01:12:58,080 Speaker 2: they have the advantage on both sides of the line. 1536 01:12:58,160 --> 01:13:02,000 Speaker 2: Offensive line, defensive line. I think Jamar Gibbs, I mean, 1537 01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:06,040 Speaker 2: this guy has really impressed everybody that's running back. He's 1538 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:09,000 Speaker 2: going to go against Drake Greenlaw, the linebacker on the 1539 01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,639 Speaker 2: forty nine Ers. I think the line factor, at least 1540 01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:14,200 Speaker 2: the offensive line of Detroit is going to have that 1541 01:13:14,240 --> 01:13:17,280 Speaker 2: Detroit running game going full steam ahead. And I think 1542 01:13:17,280 --> 01:13:18,760 Speaker 2: the Lions are going to win this game. And I'm 1543 01:13:18,760 --> 01:13:20,640 Speaker 2: not gonna win by a lot. I think they'll win 1544 01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:22,679 Speaker 2: by listing a touchdown. But I think the Detroit Lions 1545 01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:25,000 Speaker 2: win this game something like twenty four to twenty one, 1546 01:13:25,400 --> 01:13:26,840 Speaker 2: four twenty something like that. 1547 01:13:28,600 --> 01:13:31,320 Speaker 3: Man, you really all in on an underdog story. To me, 1548 01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:34,639 Speaker 3: the Niners are the better team on. 1549 01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:36,720 Speaker 2: The line, too, But what on both sides. I know 1550 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:38,519 Speaker 2: that they may have the better players, it might be 1551 01:13:38,600 --> 01:13:40,680 Speaker 2: the better team in every other position, but I think 1552 01:13:40,680 --> 01:13:42,400 Speaker 2: the Lions may have the advantage under line. 1553 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,760 Speaker 1: I think they have the advantages on the offensive line. 1554 01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:48,799 Speaker 1: At the defensive line. 1555 01:13:48,880 --> 01:13:52,360 Speaker 3: The defensive line for the forty nine ers is absolutely outstanding, 1556 01:13:52,520 --> 01:13:55,160 Speaker 3: so it'd be a matter of the best who's able 1557 01:13:55,200 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 3: to control it. 1558 01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,120 Speaker 1: Skill guys. 1559 01:13:58,439 --> 01:14:02,080 Speaker 3: I still say that in at the skills the Niners 1560 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:05,320 Speaker 3: have a slight edge over that. And then it comes 1561 01:14:05,360 --> 01:14:07,400 Speaker 3: down to quarterback play. I love Jerry Goff, but Brock 1562 01:14:07,439 --> 01:14:10,559 Speaker 3: Predy orchestra in this offense, he's been terrific and so 1563 01:14:11,640 --> 01:14:14,120 Speaker 3: to me, it's a tight game. But I'm willing to 1564 01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:15,800 Speaker 3: go with the Niners because they're just a little bit 1565 01:14:15,840 --> 01:14:16,559 Speaker 3: better on defense. 1566 01:14:17,479 --> 01:14:19,639 Speaker 2: Well, you're going with the Niners, you're going with Truck. 1567 01:14:19,800 --> 01:14:21,920 Speaker 2: I look, as I say, I'm probably thinking more so 1568 01:14:22,320 --> 01:14:26,920 Speaker 2: with my head than in my heart, But I don't know. 1569 01:14:26,960 --> 01:14:29,559 Speaker 2: I just I want the Lions to win, but I 1570 01:14:29,600 --> 01:14:32,479 Speaker 2: honestly do think they have an outstanding chance to win. 1571 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,600 Speaker 2: The game is in San Francisco, so that's gonna be 1572 01:14:35,640 --> 01:14:38,479 Speaker 2: tough as well. Maybe these games should be played on. 1573 01:14:38,880 --> 01:14:39,160 Speaker 1: I don't know. 1574 01:14:39,200 --> 01:14:41,240 Speaker 2: I hate to use the term neutral fields, but you 1575 01:14:41,280 --> 01:14:41,879 Speaker 2: know you want. 1576 01:14:41,680 --> 01:14:43,200 Speaker 4: The on and I know. 1577 01:14:43,400 --> 01:14:45,600 Speaker 2: I'm sorry I even brought that up, because you do 1578 01:14:45,680 --> 01:14:48,080 Speaker 2: want the fans that they support you all year long. 1579 01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:50,360 Speaker 2: How can you take the playoff games away from them? See, 1580 01:14:50,439 --> 01:14:52,200 Speaker 2: you got to do that, you really do. But it's 1581 01:14:52,200 --> 01:14:55,519 Speaker 2: a tremendous advantage. I think playing at home, but I 1582 01:14:55,560 --> 01:14:57,680 Speaker 2: still like Detroit. I like Detroit to win this game. 1583 01:14:57,800 --> 01:14:59,679 Speaker 1: A huge advantage, huge advantage. 1584 01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:03,280 Speaker 2: There you go, all right.

Well, 1779 01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,599 Speaker 4: you know, you go back to America's team and well, 1780 01:24:28,800 --> 01:24:33,680 Speaker 4: the last winners were the Detroit Red Wings and all 1781 01:24:33,720 --> 01:24:38,519 Speaker 4: of those guys uneasy alliance because you had a lot 1782 01:24:38,560 --> 01:24:41,080 Speaker 4: of Russian players there. I mean, we've seen the documentaries. 1783 01:24:41,120 --> 01:24:43,400 Speaker 4: We have it all together, the pipeline. But now you've 1784 01:24:43,439 --> 01:24:45,960 Speaker 4: got Dan Campbell, who's a man that, let's face it, 1785 01:24:46,000 --> 01:24:49,040 Speaker 4: from biten kneecaps to this moment. That is a long, 1786 01:24:49,360 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 4: arduous journey from laughing stock and what the hell is 1787 01:24:53,479 --> 01:24:56,880 Speaker 4: going on to building a staff, building a culture and 1788 01:24:56,920 --> 01:25:00,280 Speaker 4: getting us here to the NFC title game. Look, pick 1789 01:25:00,400 --> 01:25:02,679 Speaker 4: is already on record because I can't have Jason Smith 1790 01:25:02,720 --> 01:25:05,800 Speaker 4: have nice things and since he picked the Lions before 1791 01:25:05,840 --> 01:25:08,280 Speaker 4: the season, I've heard about it. He texts me in 1792 01:25:08,320 --> 01:25:10,920 Speaker 4: the middle of the night. Gentlemen, I can't have this happen. 1793 01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:15,840 Speaker 4: This aggression will not stand. So I'm on record right 1794 01:25:15,840 --> 01:25:18,680 Speaker 4: now that the forty nine ers have to win this 1795 01:25:18,760 --> 01:25:19,920 Speaker 4: if only to save my soul. 1796 01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:22,720 Speaker 2: You have taken it personally, you know, thinking like on 1797 01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:23,520 Speaker 2: the field. 1798 01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:26,080 Speaker 4: Well, I do think Zach just goes the better team. 1799 01:25:27,000 --> 01:25:29,320 Speaker 2: Well, we'll see, we'll see. You mentioned Dan camb he 1800 01:25:29,320 --> 01:25:30,880 Speaker 2: could have stopp when he say He's a man, He's 1801 01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:33,120 Speaker 2: a man's man. He's the kind of guy you want 1802 01:25:33,120 --> 01:25:35,960 Speaker 2: to play for, right, right bucket, all the coaches you've had, 1803 01:25:36,080 --> 01:25:38,440 Speaker 2: you'd love to play for a guy like Dan Campbell. 1804 01:25:38,960 --> 01:25:39,559 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would. 1805 01:25:39,640 --> 01:25:43,120 Speaker 3: And I think what's important And I don't know, Like, look, 1806 01:25:43,439 --> 01:25:46,040 Speaker 3: this is different for me coming from being a player 1807 01:25:46,360 --> 01:25:50,000 Speaker 3: to now really adopt and fandom. But Dan Campbell said 1808 01:25:50,000 --> 01:25:52,200 Speaker 3: something a week or a few weeks ago where he 1809 01:25:52,240 --> 01:25:56,240 Speaker 3: talked about this team had to represent the city. It 1810 01:25:56,320 --> 01:25:59,360 Speaker 3: had to be built in an image that the city 1811 01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,360 Speaker 3: correct and nods it and appreciate it. So I want 1812 01:26:02,360 --> 01:26:06,400 Speaker 3: to ask Harmon and you, like Mike, how do you 1813 01:26:06,479 --> 01:26:08,840 Speaker 3: feel about that? So, like, when you think about your 1814 01:26:08,840 --> 01:26:11,200 Speaker 3: beloved Bears, do you feel like the Bears have to 1815 01:26:11,280 --> 01:26:14,280 Speaker 3: play and kind of feel like the city of Chicago 1816 01:26:14,600 --> 01:26:16,840 Speaker 3: or would you be okay with them, let's just say, 1817 01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:20,640 Speaker 3: being a softer, more finesse type team. 1818 01:26:21,000 --> 01:26:23,800 Speaker 4: If they win. I don't get the damn. At this point, 1819 01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:26,559 Speaker 4: I'm still trained, not eighty five. On Friday, I had 1820 01:26:26,600 --> 01:26:28,400 Speaker 4: to bring up the fact that it was the anniversary 1821 01:26:28,400 --> 01:26:30,519 Speaker 4: of the Bears winning the Super Bowl. You know, when 1822 01:26:30,560 --> 01:26:33,240 Speaker 4: I was a kid, long long ago, before the hair 1823 01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,840 Speaker 4: started to go. The belly started to grow. You know, cortisol, 1824 01:26:37,040 --> 01:26:39,360 Speaker 4: you know cortisol or whatever the hell that had is 1825 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,120 Speaker 4: in the middle of the night, got belly fat. You 1826 01:26:41,160 --> 01:26:44,000 Speaker 4: can't fight well, it's insulin resistance. It's all the stuff. No, 1827 01:26:44,280 --> 01:26:46,519 Speaker 4: all of that stuff was gone. It was a young, bright, 1828 01:26:46,760 --> 01:26:48,880 Speaker 4: fresh faced Mikey Harmon and the Bears were going to 1829 01:26:48,960 --> 01:26:52,160 Speaker 4: rule the world. Instead, it's misery year after year. So 1830 01:26:52,200 --> 01:26:54,719 Speaker 4: I don't care. They can wing it all over the place, 1831 01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:59,000 Speaker 4: they can run the wing formation, they can bring back, 1832 01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:02,320 Speaker 4: you know, just the wildcat. Whatever's gonna work. I don't care. 1833 01:27:02,520 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 4: But because that's the conflicting thing here, Bucky and Andy, 1834 01:27:05,479 --> 01:27:07,840 Speaker 4: I as I throw it to you, is that I 1835 01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:11,160 Speaker 4: love everything about what Dan Gamble. 1836 01:27:10,800 --> 01:27:11,599 Speaker 2: Has been I do too. 1837 01:27:12,040 --> 01:27:14,960 Speaker 4: I love it all because you know me, I love smouth, 1838 01:27:15,240 --> 01:27:18,800 Speaker 4: smash mouth football. I love that you have Gibbs and look, 1839 01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:21,160 Speaker 4: I love David Montgomery. He really looked good in a 1840 01:27:21,160 --> 01:27:24,080 Speaker 4: Bear's uniform these last couple of years. But when it 1841 01:27:24,120 --> 01:27:26,920 Speaker 4: gets in close and you need the tough yard, there's 1842 01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:29,599 Speaker 4: your guy. Jared Goff I always thought got a bad 1843 01:27:29,720 --> 01:27:32,960 Speaker 4: rap leaving here from the Rams. Remember he started with 1844 01:27:33,040 --> 01:27:36,360 Speaker 4: Jeff Fisher, as his coach people mister seven and nine himself, 1845 01:27:36,400 --> 01:27:38,680 Speaker 4: by the way, we helped get him fired. On an 1846 01:27:38,680 --> 01:27:41,640 Speaker 4: old interview with Eric Dickerson, I'll send you guys the 1847 01:27:41,760 --> 01:27:44,800 Speaker 4: unedited audio. It's one of the greatest fire interviews of 1848 01:27:44,840 --> 01:27:47,320 Speaker 4: all time. But you know, so I'm still waiting on 1849 01:27:47,400 --> 01:27:50,120 Speaker 4: my ring from the Rams. By the way, but the 1850 01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:53,480 Speaker 4: Lions are everything I love about the game of football, 1851 01:27:54,080 --> 01:27:56,479 Speaker 4: So it's hard to root against him, except that I 1852 01:27:56,479 --> 01:27:57,840 Speaker 4: can't have Smith have nice things. 1853 01:27:57,960 --> 01:27:59,320 Speaker 2: I hear what you're saying. You know, you bring up 1854 01:27:59,360 --> 01:28:02,360 Speaker 2: an interesting point the book about you know, echoing or 1855 01:28:02,360 --> 01:28:05,840 Speaker 2: mirroring the city you play in. As far as Chicago's concern, 1856 01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:09,840 Speaker 2: I don't know how you would describe Chicago kind of 1857 01:28:09,840 --> 01:28:11,960 Speaker 2: like New York because it's a melting part of so 1858 01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:15,080 Speaker 2: many different people. But Detroit, there's been a picture drawn 1859 01:28:15,360 --> 01:28:18,120 Speaker 2: in our mindset that's a hard working, blue collar town. 1860 01:28:18,479 --> 01:28:21,160 Speaker 2: General Motors. Is there people working on the plant. Matter 1861 01:28:21,200 --> 01:28:23,080 Speaker 2: of fact, there's a story on the news the other 1862 01:28:23,160 --> 01:28:25,760 Speaker 2: day that they're closing the shift on the plant and 1863 01:28:25,880 --> 01:28:28,640 Speaker 2: a GM plan today so the workers could watch that 1864 01:28:28,680 --> 01:28:29,200 Speaker 2: Lions case. 1865 01:28:29,280 --> 01:28:32,320 Speaker 4: Can I say I was vilified once again being anti 1866 01:28:32,439 --> 01:28:34,920 Speaker 4: people because I'm like, what are you going to do 1867 01:28:34,960 --> 01:28:38,440 Speaker 4: to make good for those other two shifts? Riddle me that, Batman. 1868 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:41,200 Speaker 2: There's sell less cars. That's all. 1869 01:28:41,280 --> 01:28:44,040 Speaker 4: Well, I'm just saying, right, if you're gonna make time 1870 01:28:44,080 --> 01:28:46,479 Speaker 4: out and give them the opportunity to go sit and 1871 01:28:46,520 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 4: indulge and be with their family. 1872 01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:49,960 Speaker 2: What are the other two shifts getting? No'll get You're 1873 01:28:49,960 --> 01:28:52,639 Speaker 2: exactly right. But here's the difference between Detroit and Chicago. 1874 01:28:52,960 --> 01:28:55,200 Speaker 2: If the Lions win today, you know what they'll do. 1875 01:28:55,439 --> 01:28:57,840 Speaker 2: They'll close the schools tomorrow. In Detroit. They wouldn't do 1876 01:28:57,880 --> 01:28:59,679 Speaker 2: that in Chicago. That's the difference. 1877 01:29:00,160 --> 01:29:01,880 Speaker 4: Is the school Well, actually no, it's a it's a 1878 01:29:01,880 --> 01:29:04,840 Speaker 4: softer Chicago than I once knew. Back in the day. 1879 01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:06,880 Speaker 4: It was all right, we'll kick the start of school 1880 01:29:06,960 --> 01:29:09,320 Speaker 4: back an hour, but you still have to come in. 1881 01:29:09,960 --> 01:29:12,360 Speaker 4: Now they'll actually shut it down for a day or two. 1882 01:29:12,920 --> 01:29:15,800 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah. 1883 01:29:15,880 --> 01:29:19,120 Speaker 3: Now, Look, I think because we talk about the Bears, 1884 01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:21,400 Speaker 3: and we talk about the Bears running up, I think 1885 01:29:21,439 --> 01:29:24,640 Speaker 3: what Detroit has shown you the perfect way of balancing 1886 01:29:24,760 --> 01:29:27,920 Speaker 3: force and finesse. Right, So, Andy, we talked, I mean, 1887 01:29:27,960 --> 01:29:29,599 Speaker 3: we talk about finishing games. 1888 01:29:29,640 --> 01:29:31,040 Speaker 1: You gotta be able to run the football. You got 1889 01:29:31,160 --> 01:29:31,800 Speaker 1: to grind it out. 1890 01:29:31,800 --> 01:29:34,479 Speaker 3: You got to exhibit the toughness and physicality that you need. 1891 01:29:34,880 --> 01:29:35,679 Speaker 1: But then the finesse. 1892 01:29:35,720 --> 01:29:37,639 Speaker 3: When you look at Jared Goff and you watch him 1893 01:29:38,080 --> 01:29:41,120 Speaker 3: just shred the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with dime after dime 1894 01:29:41,200 --> 01:29:43,200 Speaker 3: over the middle of the field, it's kind of like 1895 01:29:43,240 --> 01:29:46,400 Speaker 3: the perfect the perfect mix, right, It's the perfect combination. 1896 01:29:46,520 --> 01:29:50,519 Speaker 3: It's the Chicago mix of popcorn with the cheese and 1897 01:29:50,560 --> 01:29:51,759 Speaker 3: the camera corn. 1898 01:29:51,840 --> 01:29:54,400 Speaker 4: You want me to get me? 1899 01:29:54,760 --> 01:29:57,200 Speaker 3: I mean, that's what it is. I mean, if we're 1900 01:29:57,200 --> 01:29:59,880 Speaker 3: gonna throw some some pecans in there, go with. 1901 01:29:59,840 --> 01:30:01,280 Speaker 4: That fucky begging. 1902 01:30:04,080 --> 01:30:08,120 Speaker 2: Right now, that'll get what we Chicago pizza the Detroit pizza. 1903 01:30:08,360 --> 01:30:10,240 Speaker 2: I'm kind of leaning towards the Detroit pizza. 1904 01:30:10,280 --> 01:30:10,360 Speaker 1: Now. 1905 01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:13,120 Speaker 4: See now you're just getting insane. You're leaning into this 1906 01:30:13,240 --> 01:30:14,200 Speaker 4: hype way too much. 1907 01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:17,400 Speaker 3: The only thing I know about Detroit piece is Little Caesar, So, 1908 01:30:17,600 --> 01:30:19,080 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't even know if that's I don't 1909 01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,760 Speaker 3: even know if this's Detroit pizza. But I can't make 1910 01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:23,800 Speaker 3: that comparison because there would be two poles that I 1911 01:30:23,840 --> 01:30:26,679 Speaker 3: would compare. It would be New York pizza versus Chicago pizza. 1912 01:30:26,680 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 3: I don't think I could throw Detroit up in there. 1913 01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:33,280 Speaker 4: Yeah, the the criticism for Chicago pizza from those that 1914 01:30:33,360 --> 01:30:40,000 Speaker 4: have dared to go down that rod. Louisa Lumel noddies, Hey, 1915 01:30:40,120 --> 01:30:41,800 Speaker 4: you know what, I'll ship you some in. You'll have 1916 01:30:41,800 --> 01:30:43,519 Speaker 4: one some by the middle of the weekend. 1917 01:30:44,160 --> 01:30:45,800 Speaker 2: Mike North used to do it to me all the time. 1918 01:30:46,040 --> 01:30:49,240 Speaker 4: That's it, you know, we we Indoctrinatia and keep you there. 1919 01:30:49,320 --> 01:30:51,880 Speaker 4: But the whole thing was, ah, there's too much dough whatever. 1920 01:30:51,920 --> 01:30:54,519 Speaker 4: It's like, well, that's what Detroit pizza is. It's a 1921 01:30:54,760 --> 01:30:58,720 Speaker 4: thick yeah, big crust thing as well, so you know, 1922 01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:02,040 Speaker 4: same kind of idea. But yeah, it's it's the great 1923 01:31:02,240 --> 01:31:06,760 Speaker 4: conflict of you know, harmon dealing with the the emotions 1924 01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:08,679 Speaker 4: of dealing with the guy five nights a week who's 1925 01:31:08,720 --> 01:31:10,920 Speaker 4: just told him repeatedly you know I picked the Lions 1926 01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:14,639 Speaker 4: for the Super Bowl and appreciating everything there. I gotta 1927 01:31:14,640 --> 01:31:16,120 Speaker 4: ask you this, though, Bucky, because. 1928 01:31:15,880 --> 01:31:17,680 Speaker 2: The time off once I know you got you got 1929 01:31:17,680 --> 01:31:20,160 Speaker 2: me thinking for a second, because it may be worth 1930 01:31:20,200 --> 01:31:22,240 Speaker 2: it for the pointing out us to win today. Because 1931 01:31:22,680 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 2: to turn the radio one and then jays Justin Smith, Uh, 1932 01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:30,280 Speaker 2: he'll go crazy, Jason Smith. I'd see him a Mischi. 1933 01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,720 Speaker 4: Justin's my producer. So you know they can flate. They're like, uh, 1934 01:31:33,760 --> 01:31:35,360 Speaker 4: you know, they're like Tron. 1935 01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 2: His head won't fit the swollen dome. He'll be calling 1936 01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:38,719 Speaker 2: himself to swollen. 1937 01:31:38,800 --> 01:31:40,760 Speaker 4: He's got a big head, right, I mean, I think 1938 01:31:40,760 --> 01:31:43,800 Speaker 4: his head's bigger than mine these days. You know, I've 1939 01:31:43,800 --> 01:31:45,360 Speaker 4: got leaner and meaner through the years. 1940 01:31:45,360 --> 01:31:47,679 Speaker 2: Here Detroit wins and they win the Super Bowl. Oh 1941 01:31:47,720 --> 01:31:49,120 Speaker 2: my goodness, Oh boy. 1942 01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:52,680 Speaker 4: Tell you what. Uh yeah, chaos ensues. But you know, 1943 01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:56,080 Speaker 4: as we look at last week's game, not not to 1944 01:31:56,120 --> 01:31:59,479 Speaker 4: go live in the past too much, Bucky and I 1945 01:31:59,520 --> 01:32:03,320 Speaker 4: know they had some attrition. They had the opportunity Dean 1946 01:32:03,400 --> 01:32:06,559 Speaker 4: with the drop on the would be interception early that 1947 01:32:06,960 --> 01:32:10,400 Speaker 4: allows them to kick the field goal. But even with 1948 01:32:10,479 --> 01:32:13,120 Speaker 4: the injuries at all, the fact that it looks so 1949 01:32:13,320 --> 01:32:16,000 Speaker 4: easy over the middle, and that Golf never really had 1950 01:32:16,040 --> 01:32:19,120 Speaker 4: to make a throw to the sidelines, that as a 1951 01:32:19,240 --> 01:32:21,120 Speaker 4: as a guy who loves the game, and I don't 1952 01:32:21,160 --> 01:32:23,840 Speaker 4: pretend to be an expert and at all, but you know, 1953 01:32:23,920 --> 01:32:26,960 Speaker 4: the three of us have watched a ton of football, bucket. Obviously, 1954 01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:28,840 Speaker 4: you've lived it, you've played it, you've coached it, and 1955 01:32:28,880 --> 01:32:31,800 Speaker 4: analyzed it at the highest of levels like that was 1956 01:32:31,920 --> 01:32:35,920 Speaker 4: just frustrating as hell. Whoever, regardless of who you're picking 1957 01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,439 Speaker 4: to win, win the game, you're just watching. It's like, 1958 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:40,880 Speaker 4: it really shouldn't be that easy to keep finding a 1959 01:32:40,880 --> 01:32:42,920 Speaker 4: guy over the middle. At some point he's got to 1960 01:32:42,920 --> 01:32:44,840 Speaker 4: go outside the numbers. And he never had to go 1961 01:32:44,840 --> 01:32:45,719 Speaker 4: outside the numbers. 1962 01:32:46,880 --> 01:32:47,519 Speaker 1: No, he didn't. 1963 01:32:47,560 --> 01:32:51,040 Speaker 3: And I think the most impressive part of that is 1964 01:32:51,800 --> 01:32:55,000 Speaker 3: everyone remembers yesteryear where we talked about how treacherous it 1965 01:32:55,200 --> 01:32:57,760 Speaker 3: was for receivers to venture over the mill. Sure, and 1966 01:32:57,800 --> 01:33:00,360 Speaker 3: I know the league has legislated some of the big 1967 01:33:00,439 --> 01:33:03,799 Speaker 3: hits in those things out, but when you work inside 1968 01:33:03,800 --> 01:33:07,960 Speaker 3: the hashes, the courage that you must have as a 1969 01:33:08,000 --> 01:33:11,759 Speaker 3: pass catcher, it still exists. And to watch Jerriet Goff 1970 01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:17,160 Speaker 3: just absolutely obliterate the Buccaneers over and over and over. 1971 01:33:17,640 --> 01:33:20,040 Speaker 1: Between the hashes, to me was impressive. 1972 01:33:20,080 --> 01:33:21,759 Speaker 3: And to know that he did it the week before 1973 01:33:21,840 --> 01:33:24,439 Speaker 3: against the La Rams over and over and over again. 1974 01:33:24,560 --> 01:33:28,559 Speaker 3: This team, this quarterback, like the way they're just living 1975 01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:31,000 Speaker 3: in the danger zone, like right in the middle of 1976 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:31,479 Speaker 3: the field. 1977 01:33:31,520 --> 01:33:32,800 Speaker 1: To me, that's what you have to do. 1978 01:33:33,080 --> 01:33:35,360 Speaker 3: And then when they cap it off by running the 1979 01:33:35,400 --> 01:33:37,960 Speaker 3: football when everyone in the stadium knows they need to 1980 01:33:38,040 --> 01:33:40,160 Speaker 3: run it, and they just kind of dominate you in 1981 01:33:40,160 --> 01:33:42,800 Speaker 3: the fourth quarter on the ground. This team is built 1982 01:33:42,800 --> 01:33:44,800 Speaker 3: the right way, and so I wouldn't be surprised to 1983 01:33:44,800 --> 01:33:46,519 Speaker 3: see them go to San Francisco and do it, even 1984 01:33:46,560 --> 01:33:48,720 Speaker 3: though I'm saying the San Francisco forty nine ers are 1985 01:33:48,800 --> 01:33:51,839 Speaker 3: the better team as presently constructed on paper. 1986 01:33:52,160 --> 01:33:55,240 Speaker 2: Can I tell you a beautiful story about the Detroit Lions. 1987 01:33:56,000 --> 01:33:59,600 Speaker 4: You want some violins behind it or something. Marketing may 1988 01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:03,400 Speaker 4: need some issues. He made some tears. Glasswick's game was 1989 01:34:03,479 --> 01:34:06,559 Speaker 4: sealed when Derek Barnes made that interception. Obviously, it was 1990 01:34:06,600 --> 01:34:09,120 Speaker 4: his first and only interception of the year this year. 1991 01:34:09,479 --> 01:34:14,000 Speaker 2: Derek Barnes was born in nearby Covington, Kentucky, and he 1992 01:34:14,080 --> 01:34:18,240 Speaker 2: went to glen oh Swing Elementary School. That school in 1993 01:34:18,280 --> 01:34:21,800 Speaker 2: Covington this week had a Derek Barnes Detroit Lions Day 1994 01:34:22,000 --> 01:34:25,280 Speaker 2: on Friday. More than that, Derek Barnes went to Holy 1995 01:34:25,320 --> 01:34:28,240 Speaker 2: Cross High School in northern Kentucky and he was coached 1996 01:34:28,439 --> 01:34:31,600 Speaker 2: by Bruce Kozerski, who played for the Bengals. And I 1997 01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:35,040 Speaker 2: thought that Derek Barnes story was unbelievable. Everybody rallied around 1998 01:34:35,040 --> 01:34:37,920 Speaker 2: in Covington, Kentucky, which is a city so the south 1999 01:34:37,960 --> 01:34:40,920 Speaker 2: of Cincinnati, right over the Ohio River, and he went 2000 01:34:40,960 --> 01:34:43,240 Speaker 2: to glen O's Swing Elementary. It was a big deal. 2001 01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:44,880 Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they do that in many 2002 01:34:44,920 --> 01:34:47,439 Speaker 2: cities for the local kids that play in their school. 2003 01:34:47,479 --> 01:34:50,679 Speaker 2: But that at Derek Barnes Day at the elementary school, 2004 01:34:50,680 --> 01:34:51,479 Speaker 2: I thought it was wonderfully. 2005 01:34:51,680 --> 01:34:53,960 Speaker 4: I gotta say, I just pulled up the greatest image 2006 01:34:54,000 --> 01:34:59,240 Speaker 4: of the aforementioned Bruce Kozerski and it's a nineteen ninety 2007 01:34:59,240 --> 01:35:02,120 Speaker 4: two tops card that I will go buy multiple copies 2008 01:35:02,360 --> 01:35:04,120 Speaker 4: to send to anybody who wants one. 2009 01:35:04,600 --> 01:35:07,040 Speaker 2: He teaches math at holy Cross High School in Kentucky. 2010 01:35:07,080 --> 01:35:09,080 Speaker 4: This might be the greatest card ever. I don't know 2011 01:35:09,120 --> 01:35:12,000 Speaker 4: what happened on the play, but he's got his Bengals 2012 01:35:12,080 --> 01:35:15,280 Speaker 4: helmet gloriously thrust above his head. He's screaming, and he's 2013 01:35:15,320 --> 01:35:18,320 Speaker 4: got one of the finest mustaches I've ever seen. Not 2014 01:35:18,439 --> 01:35:23,160 Speaker 4: to mention one of those great Midwestern names, Kozerski.

I've been doing one in 2052 01:37:32,040 --> 01:37:34,680 Speaker 4: Baltimore for years, and one of the first questions I 2053 01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:38,479 Speaker 4: got is what's the response there, Like, well, you might 2054 01:37:38,520 --> 01:37:40,400 Speaker 4: as well line them up for the Super Bowl already 2055 01:37:40,479 --> 01:37:42,639 Speaker 4: if you listen to most of the people here in LA. 2056 01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:45,719 Speaker 4: I mean, that's it. No matter, all good things happen 2057 01:37:45,840 --> 01:37:49,559 Speaker 4: doesn't matter that you've got an aging squad, doesn't matter 2058 01:37:49,600 --> 01:37:52,320 Speaker 4: that outside of the quarterback, you just have question marks 2059 01:37:52,320 --> 01:37:54,639 Speaker 4: at a lot of It's like you're playing a Mario 2060 01:37:54,680 --> 01:37:57,679 Speaker 4: Brothers game. Say, we were just talking about theme parks here. 2061 01:37:57,800 --> 01:37:59,040 Speaker 4: So it's one of those things where I got to 2062 01:37:59,040 --> 01:38:01,160 Speaker 4: go buy the question mark and figure out what's going on. 2063 01:38:01,360 --> 01:38:03,240 Speaker 4: We got a lot of that, but it doesn't matter 2064 01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:05,640 Speaker 4: because you got the coach. Two teams still trying to 2065 01:38:05,640 --> 01:38:09,519 Speaker 4: figure out that last piece of the puzzle. Seattle and Washington. 2066 01:38:09,560 --> 01:38:13,439 Speaker 4: We saw Callahan named coach Raheem Morris gets another shot 2067 01:38:13,800 --> 01:38:17,160 Speaker 4: down there in Atlanta and all those staffs starting to 2068 01:38:17,200 --> 01:38:21,320 Speaker 4: come together. But now we've got Seattle and Washington. Washington 2069 01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:25,800 Speaker 4: obviously with that early pick, Seattle desirable because look, at 2070 01:38:25,800 --> 01:38:27,760 Speaker 4: one point it looked like dan Quinn was just gonna 2071 01:38:27,800 --> 01:38:30,040 Speaker 4: walk right back in there, didn't he. Oh, and then 2072 01:38:30,080 --> 01:38:31,120 Speaker 4: the playoffs happened. 2073 01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:35,920 Speaker 3: Yeah, like he's a little distracted, lost his focus. 2074 01:38:36,280 --> 01:38:37,920 Speaker 4: You got to keep your composure, Bucky. 2075 01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:40,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, lost his ability to kind of defense. 2076 01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:44,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it didn't go well. 2077 01:38:45,400 --> 01:38:47,800 Speaker 1: Didn't look good? Did that look good for him? 2078 01:38:48,200 --> 01:38:53,879 Speaker 4: So Mike McDonald, Greg Roman, like he's you know, rumored 2079 01:38:53,920 --> 01:38:56,920 Speaker 4: out here in Los Angeles. But and then you've got, 2080 01:38:56,960 --> 01:39:00,760 Speaker 4: of course the wonder can Ben Johnson? Are those the 2081 01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:03,000 Speaker 4: guys that look like they're gonna get there? And remember 2082 01:39:03,080 --> 01:39:05,559 Speaker 4: it's Mike McDonald, not to be confused by the man 2083 01:39:05,600 --> 01:39:09,640 Speaker 4: of the Doobie Brothers. Although if they win, you know, 2084 01:39:09,760 --> 01:39:11,559 Speaker 4: and he can trade on it, maybe he has taking 2085 01:39:11,600 --> 01:39:15,360 Speaker 4: it to the streets keep a shot. But you know, hey, 2086 01:39:15,439 --> 01:39:16,639 Speaker 4: I remember that what's happening. 2087 01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:18,840 Speaker 2: You may want to add one more name because rumor 2088 01:39:18,920 --> 01:39:22,720 Speaker 2: has it that should the Chiefs get eliminated or even 2089 01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:25,360 Speaker 2: when the season is over, Andy Reid's going to retire. 2090 01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:28,519 Speaker 4: How much do you buy that? Though? 2091 01:39:28,560 --> 01:39:31,960 Speaker 2: Andy? I think if he wins it all, to retire. 2092 01:39:31,880 --> 01:39:36,240 Speaker 4: Even with another However, many years of empire with Patrick 2093 01:39:36,280 --> 01:39:38,360 Speaker 4: Mahomes in the offing, well he. 2094 01:39:38,360 --> 01:39:41,680 Speaker 2: Saw the empire began to crack a little bit in midseason, 2095 01:39:41,800 --> 01:39:44,160 Speaker 2: a little bit. But I think if he wins it all, 2096 01:39:44,200 --> 01:39:44,960 Speaker 2: he'll walk away. 2097 01:39:45,080 --> 01:39:46,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, but he found a guy in Rashid Rice that 2098 01:39:46,800 --> 01:39:49,439 Speaker 4: can actually catch him the ball. And once they got 2099 01:39:49,479 --> 01:39:51,880 Speaker 4: to the playoffs, suddenly all these guys had super glue 2100 01:39:51,880 --> 01:39:54,120 Speaker 4: on their hands. Bucky, what's that all about? 2101 01:39:54,840 --> 01:39:55,080 Speaker 1: Yeah? 2102 01:39:55,080 --> 01:39:57,760 Speaker 3: I don't I don't necessarily see that because, as I 2103 01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:00,719 Speaker 3: was telling Andy, I think the situation and is different. 2104 01:40:01,800 --> 01:40:04,559 Speaker 3: Like they've done that before with Scott Pioli. I don't 2105 01:40:04,600 --> 01:40:07,400 Speaker 3: think they want to redo that in Kansas City, no 2106 01:40:07,439 --> 01:40:11,040 Speaker 3: matter how great Bill Belichick is and how weird would 2107 01:40:11,040 --> 01:40:14,400 Speaker 3: it be for Bill Belichick to step in behind a legend, 2108 01:40:14,840 --> 01:40:16,920 Speaker 3: you know, because what Andy. 2109 01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:19,679 Speaker 1: Reid is close to doing is we've talked. 2110 01:40:19,439 --> 01:40:22,040 Speaker 3: About this era of dominance for the New England Patriots 2111 01:40:22,080 --> 01:40:24,880 Speaker 3: and Bill Belichick over the last twenty years. When you 2112 01:40:24,880 --> 01:40:27,000 Speaker 3: start to pull up Andy Reid's resume, if he puts 2113 01:40:27,040 --> 01:40:29,479 Speaker 3: another ring up on the board, you start thinking about 2114 01:40:29,479 --> 01:40:31,560 Speaker 3: what he did in Philadelphia, going to all those championship 2115 01:40:31,600 --> 01:40:34,440 Speaker 3: games and those things. You begin to have a conversation 2116 01:40:34,520 --> 01:40:37,679 Speaker 3: about who really is the greatest coach of this era 2117 01:40:38,080 --> 01:40:42,000 Speaker 3: that we're talking about. Because six straight titles, six straight 2118 01:40:42,080 --> 01:40:47,640 Speaker 3: AFC championship games, three titles in four years, the conversation 2119 01:40:47,800 --> 01:40:49,880 Speaker 3: turns a little bit. And then Belichick having to step 2120 01:40:49,880 --> 01:40:52,080 Speaker 3: in for him, Yeah, I don't know. I don't know 2121 01:40:52,120 --> 01:40:54,600 Speaker 3: if he could step in and replace a legend in 2122 01:40:54,680 --> 01:40:55,200 Speaker 3: Andy Reid. 2123 01:40:55,280 --> 01:40:57,400 Speaker 4: See, I thought he was going to storm the castle 2124 01:40:57,439 --> 01:40:59,080 Speaker 4: and take over Seattle. 2125 01:40:59,400 --> 01:41:05,120 Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. Yeah, washed, it is the place f him, 2126 01:41:05,160 --> 01:41:06,720 Speaker 2: I really do. They got the second pit. They're gonna 2127 01:41:06,720 --> 01:41:08,880 Speaker 2: get a quarterback, he needs one, and that division is 2128 01:41:08,880 --> 01:41:10,400 Speaker 2: not that strong. He's got a shot there. 2129 01:41:11,040 --> 01:41:13,240 Speaker 3: The only thing is here, here's the thing, and here's 2130 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:15,240 Speaker 3: what we'll talk about. 2131 01:41:15,640 --> 01:41:16,599 Speaker 1: Decision makers. 2132 01:41:16,840 --> 01:41:20,719 Speaker 3: Guys who have powerful jobs don't like to relinquish power. 2133 01:41:21,240 --> 01:41:25,080 Speaker 3: So once you hired a general manager, what general manager 2134 01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:26,640 Speaker 3: in his right mind is saying, oh, yeah, you know 2135 01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:29,120 Speaker 3: what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna bring in Bill Belichick 2136 01:41:29,479 --> 01:41:31,320 Speaker 3: and let him come in and take some of my 2137 01:41:31,439 --> 01:41:31,960 Speaker 3: power away. 2138 01:41:32,000 --> 01:41:34,360 Speaker 4: Well, because that's cuentually what happened in Atlanta, right, Like 2139 01:41:34,439 --> 01:41:36,640 Speaker 4: McKay goes over and evidently he's going to just be 2140 01:41:36,680 --> 01:41:41,400 Speaker 4: a soccer guy now, is what they reporting is right, So, hey, 2141 01:41:41,439 --> 01:41:43,400 Speaker 4: you know what, you're not even in football anymore. You 2142 01:41:43,439 --> 01:41:45,919 Speaker 4: go over there. But then you have font No the GM, 2143 01:41:46,840 --> 01:41:49,160 Speaker 4: and now Raheem Morris comes in and look a guy 2144 01:41:49,160 --> 01:41:52,000 Speaker 4: they had familiarity with. So I think everybody's forgetting it. 2145 01:41:55,160 --> 01:41:56,160 Speaker 1: Let's let's explain that. 2146 01:41:56,240 --> 01:41:58,320 Speaker 3: Let's talk about that even further, Raheem Morris, because I 2147 01:41:58,320 --> 01:42:00,639 Speaker 3: don't think people are really talking about this different ways 2148 01:42:00,640 --> 01:42:01,799 Speaker 3: that Raheem has history. 2149 01:42:02,200 --> 01:42:05,400 Speaker 1: So obviously Rich McKay was involved in the hiring. 2150 01:42:05,960 --> 01:42:07,599 Speaker 3: Maybe he was the one that was like, man, if 2151 01:42:07,640 --> 01:42:09,360 Speaker 3: I let Bill Belichick come in here, what does that 2152 01:42:09,439 --> 01:42:12,200 Speaker 3: mean for me? I'm Arthur Blank's best friend, but that 2153 01:42:12,240 --> 01:42:14,679 Speaker 3: doesn't guarantee that I'm going to be around in any 2154 01:42:14,680 --> 01:42:17,960 Speaker 3: capacity to cash this big check. Let me lean back 2155 01:42:17,960 --> 01:42:18,519 Speaker 3: into my past. 2156 01:42:18,560 --> 01:42:19,080 Speaker 1: Who do I know? 2157 01:42:19,360 --> 01:42:23,160 Speaker 3: Oh, I was instrumental and Raheem Morris getting the Tampa 2158 01:42:23,240 --> 01:42:26,519 Speaker 3: I was instrumental in maybe him elevating to head coach 2159 01:42:26,600 --> 01:42:28,719 Speaker 3: after they dumped John Grutin. 2160 01:42:29,080 --> 01:42:33,000 Speaker 1: Okay, Raheem has been here. Remember Raheem took over. 2161 01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:36,280 Speaker 3: As interim head coach years ago when Dan Quinn was 2162 01:42:36,320 --> 01:42:39,560 Speaker 3: the head coach and got fired. Oh, the last successful 2163 01:42:39,600 --> 01:42:41,679 Speaker 3: era of the Atlanta Falcons was Dan Quinn. 2164 01:42:41,800 --> 01:42:44,200 Speaker 1: Well, maybe if I bring Raheem in, I get a 2165 01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:45,160 Speaker 1: little bit of that. 2166 01:42:45,400 --> 01:42:47,439 Speaker 3: I get a little bit of the Shanahan thing, because 2167 01:42:47,439 --> 01:42:50,720 Speaker 3: he was our wide receiver coach when Shanahan was the 2168 01:42:50,760 --> 01:42:55,640 Speaker 3: offensive gurgu that made Matt Ryan MVP. And if I 2169 01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:59,639 Speaker 3: bring him in, I may keep my job. Hey, Raheem 2170 01:43:00,040 --> 01:43:00,720 Speaker 3: should be the guy. 2171 01:43:00,840 --> 01:43:02,240 Speaker 1: Arthur. Let's do that. 2172 01:43:02,680 --> 01:43:05,559 Speaker 3: Do whatever. I'll go deal with the soccer team. But 2173 01:43:05,840 --> 01:43:08,040 Speaker 3: we'll see in two years Rich mccahab be back to 2174 01:43:08,080 --> 01:43:09,280 Speaker 3: dealing with something in football. 2175 01:43:09,400 --> 01:43:11,320 Speaker 1: He'll be bad. He never goes away for too long. 2176 01:43:11,479 --> 01:43:12,960 Speaker 1: He'll be back. But it's a. 2177 01:43:12,880 --> 01:43:16,640 Speaker 3: Way for everybody to guard their desks and keep the 2178 01:43:16,760 --> 01:43:18,519 Speaker 3: name plate on their lockers. 2179 01:43:18,800 --> 01:43:21,679 Speaker 2: Okay, but it's not so strange of a hire because 2180 01:43:22,200 --> 01:43:24,280 Speaker 2: he is a guy with head coaching experience. He coached 2181 01:43:24,280 --> 01:43:27,000 Speaker 2: Tampa Bay from nine to eleven and at the time 2182 01:43:27,040 --> 01:43:28,800 Speaker 2: I think it was a thirty of thirty two years old, 2183 01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:30,600 Speaker 2: was the youngest head coach in the NFL at the 2184 01:43:30,640 --> 01:43:31,320 Speaker 2: time in Tampa. 2185 01:43:31,720 --> 01:43:34,519 Speaker 4: Yeah, it was just more I think the point not 2186 01:43:34,560 --> 01:43:37,559 Speaker 4: to jump you, Bucky, but the idea that with Belichick 2187 01:43:37,600 --> 01:43:40,080 Speaker 4: going back for the second interview, I think everybody just 2188 01:43:40,160 --> 01:43:42,640 Speaker 4: kind of considered it was a slam dunk, right, and 2189 01:43:43,040 --> 01:43:45,920 Speaker 4: it wasn't really thinking about the power structure as we're 2190 01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:51,080 Speaker 4: talking about here. Not to mention Morris's familiarity in history 2191 01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:55,519 Speaker 4: with this franchise and the PA. Not to mention Atlanta. 2192 01:43:55,720 --> 01:43:57,840 Speaker 4: Jason Cole was on with US Friday with Smith and 2193 01:43:57,880 --> 01:44:00,960 Speaker 4: I and he brought up something I thought that was interesting. 2194 01:44:01,680 --> 01:44:04,719 Speaker 4: Maybe has a little bit of the pie that comes 2195 01:44:04,760 --> 01:44:08,200 Speaker 4: in when you talk about bringing in and bringing back 2196 01:44:09,360 --> 01:44:12,559 Speaker 4: what was a popular African American coach, and we're talking 2197 01:44:12,560 --> 01:44:17,040 Speaker 4: about younger coaches, and you know when you're selling into 2198 01:44:17,040 --> 01:44:19,080 Speaker 4: you back into your community of hey, it's a new era, 2199 01:44:19,760 --> 01:44:20,479 Speaker 4: it's a new era. 2200 01:44:21,520 --> 01:44:23,720 Speaker 3: Well, yeah, let's go back to that, because there was 2201 01:44:23,760 --> 01:44:27,200 Speaker 3: a time where Atlanta it was the most popular spot 2202 01:44:27,320 --> 01:44:29,960 Speaker 3: to be when you talk about the urban presence that 2203 01:44:30,040 --> 01:44:32,960 Speaker 3: you had. Now you lost some of that with the 2204 01:44:33,000 --> 01:44:36,280 Speaker 3: Mike Vick scandal. Sure, but prior to that, if you 2205 01:44:36,320 --> 01:44:38,360 Speaker 3: go back and you look at how Atlanta was doing 2206 01:44:38,400 --> 01:44:40,240 Speaker 3: and how it was seld up and how the feel 2207 01:44:40,400 --> 01:44:43,240 Speaker 3: was in the Dome, I mean, it was as urban. 2208 01:44:42,960 --> 01:44:44,120 Speaker 1: As it could be. 2209 01:44:44,560 --> 01:44:47,320 Speaker 3: And not saying that Raheem Morris got hired because of 2210 01:44:47,360 --> 01:44:50,240 Speaker 3: all of those external factors. Right, if you really look 2211 01:44:50,320 --> 01:44:52,360 Speaker 3: down and dig down, he's one of the best coaches 2212 01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:54,400 Speaker 3: that you had. Mike tomland told me years ago, look 2213 01:44:54,600 --> 01:44:57,639 Speaker 3: what Raheem Morris has done in terms of the way 2214 01:44:57,720 --> 01:45:00,639 Speaker 3: that he's gone from offense to defense and and back. 2215 01:45:00,960 --> 01:45:03,559 Speaker 1: He said, that's the stuff of legends. Think about Tom 2216 01:45:03,680 --> 01:45:05,760 Speaker 1: Landry and what Tom Landry. 2217 01:45:05,360 --> 01:45:08,679 Speaker 3: Did way back yesteryear with the Giants before he went 2218 01:45:08,920 --> 01:45:11,240 Speaker 3: from being a defensive coordinated with the Giants to being 2219 01:45:11,320 --> 01:45:14,720 Speaker 3: the guy who eventually called offensive plays for the Cowboys 2220 01:45:14,760 --> 01:45:17,599 Speaker 3: as the head coach. So he's saying this dude has 2221 01:45:17,640 --> 01:45:20,040 Speaker 3: pedigree and he certainly does do that and the job 2222 01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:22,240 Speaker 3: that he did with the Rams as defensive coordinator. 2223 01:45:22,640 --> 01:45:23,679 Speaker 1: Look, he deserves mention. 2224 01:45:23,800 --> 01:45:27,200 Speaker 3: But in twenty twenty, Raheem Morris and Raheen Morris was 2225 01:45:27,240 --> 01:45:30,280 Speaker 3: the interim head coach for the Falcons four and seven. 2226 01:45:30,320 --> 01:45:33,360 Speaker 3: But there was a conversation that was had prior to 2227 01:45:33,400 --> 01:45:35,600 Speaker 3: them falling off at the end that he might have 2228 01:45:35,640 --> 01:45:38,400 Speaker 3: gotten that job after dan Quinn. Maybe it's also Arthur 2229 01:45:38,400 --> 01:45:40,960 Speaker 3: Blank recognizing that maybe he should have handed him the job. 2230 01:45:41,080 --> 01:45:46,560 Speaker 1: Then after a up and down run with Arthur Smith. 2231 01:45:46,720 --> 01:45:48,360 Speaker 2: I want to go back to what the swollen done 2232 01:45:48,360 --> 01:45:50,559 Speaker 2: said about the second interview. We photos a slam dunk 2233 01:45:50,720 --> 01:45:53,280 Speaker 2: with Belichick going to Atlanta. Yeah, and you keep on 2234 01:45:53,360 --> 01:45:57,320 Speaker 2: throwing out that power structure. Tell me him expand on that. 2235 01:45:57,400 --> 01:45:59,519 Speaker 2: What does that mean? Does it mean like Bill Belichick 2236 01:45:59,560 --> 01:46:01,960 Speaker 2: told the stand on the table in the office and say, no, 2237 01:46:02,240 --> 01:46:04,360 Speaker 2: you can't draft this kind I mean, what kind of 2238 01:46:04,439 --> 01:46:05,760 Speaker 2: power does he wheel. 2239 01:46:06,600 --> 01:46:09,280 Speaker 4: Well, but it's been presumptive. I mean, go back to 2240 01:46:09,479 --> 01:46:13,639 Speaker 4: the draft during COVID where it was him and his dog. Right, Hey, 2241 01:46:13,680 --> 01:46:14,920 Speaker 4: there's our draft war room. 2242 01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:17,439 Speaker 2: But it's not like he does no football. 2243 01:46:17,479 --> 01:46:19,599 Speaker 4: I mean, no, no, no, But it's the point of, 2244 01:46:19,920 --> 01:46:22,280 Speaker 4: you know, collaborative the last three years. Look, I argue 2245 01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:25,519 Speaker 4: Bill Belichick the coach has his fastball and can coach 2246 01:46:25,560 --> 01:46:28,000 Speaker 4: as long as he wants. Cool Belichick the guy that 2247 01:46:28,080 --> 01:46:29,840 Speaker 4: builds team. He needs some help. 2248 01:46:30,880 --> 01:46:31,599 Speaker 2: He needs some help. 2249 01:46:31,640 --> 01:46:33,960 Speaker 4: He shouldn't be having the final say of roster because 2250 01:46:33,960 --> 01:46:37,479 Speaker 4: clearly he's gotten that wrong in a number of cases. 2251 01:46:37,800 --> 01:46:39,680 Speaker 4: But do we know one of his biggest supporters. 2252 01:46:39,880 --> 01:46:41,760 Speaker 2: I am too, But do we know that that's his 2253 01:46:41,920 --> 01:46:44,040 Speaker 2: been through the finals? I mean those quarterbacks that are 2254 01:46:44,040 --> 01:46:46,719 Speaker 2: playing in New England? Now, was that his pick? His final? Say? 2255 01:46:46,920 --> 01:46:48,640 Speaker 2: I will tell you one thing, though he's got he's 2256 01:46:48,640 --> 01:46:50,920 Speaker 2: got a big question walk about the assistant coaches he's 2257 01:46:50,960 --> 01:46:52,320 Speaker 2: been hiring, Patricia. 2258 01:46:52,560 --> 01:46:54,760 Speaker 4: But that's the point, though, Andy, It becomes the whole 2259 01:46:54,800 --> 01:46:57,479 Speaker 4: structure thing between what you're putting on the field and 2260 01:46:57,520 --> 01:47:00,479 Speaker 4: the guys that you've been putting on the sidelines. I agree, 2261 01:47:00,479 --> 01:47:01,479 Speaker 4: you got a lot of questions. 2262 01:47:01,520 --> 01:47:03,720 Speaker 2: So are you going to Malapatricia's defensive guyment of the 2263 01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:04,400 Speaker 2: offensive court? 2264 01:47:05,000 --> 01:47:07,040 Speaker 4: So if you're gonna like look at that decision making, 2265 01:47:07,080 --> 01:47:09,559 Speaker 4: doesn't that make you ask more questions of him if 2266 01:47:09,560 --> 01:47:11,559 Speaker 4: he comes in for an interview. I know your resume, 2267 01:47:11,640 --> 01:47:14,280 Speaker 4: I know your history, but these last two years, you 2268 01:47:14,360 --> 01:47:16,320 Speaker 4: really got to explain this to me like I'm five 2269 01:47:16,400 --> 01:47:19,760 Speaker 4: years old to make this make sense, and. 2270 01:47:19,720 --> 01:47:21,360 Speaker 2: That's going to hold them back from getting a job. 2271 01:47:21,520 --> 01:47:23,479 Speaker 2: I can't believe it. I can't believe what. 2272 01:47:23,560 --> 01:47:26,080 Speaker 4: I'm gonna trust you blindly that you're suddenly going to 2273 01:47:26,120 --> 01:47:28,880 Speaker 4: be a wizard again and not make the same mistakes 2274 01:47:28,880 --> 01:47:30,719 Speaker 4: with me. Bucky, tell me I'm wrong. 2275 01:47:31,400 --> 01:47:34,479 Speaker 3: No, no, no, I'm more in line to believe like Harmon 2276 01:47:35,640 --> 01:47:38,240 Speaker 3: is on to something, because it's not only like the 2277 01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:41,439 Speaker 3: lack of success, it's what we've heard from all the 2278 01:47:41,479 --> 01:47:46,520 Speaker 3: other franchises that have employed former Patriot assistants, like the acrimony, 2279 01:47:46,960 --> 01:47:51,360 Speaker 3: just to look the relationships not getting along from coach 2280 01:47:51,439 --> 01:47:55,600 Speaker 3: to player, from coach to everyone in the organization, particularly 2281 01:47:55,680 --> 01:48:00,680 Speaker 3: including the media. Do you want that to be representative 2282 01:48:00,680 --> 01:48:01,560 Speaker 3: of your franchise? 2283 01:48:01,960 --> 01:48:03,960 Speaker 1: Do you want to be the a we don't get along? 2284 01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:06,760 Speaker 3: With anybody but a the wins will come If you're 2285 01:48:06,760 --> 01:48:07,519 Speaker 3: not winning, man. 2286 01:48:07,400 --> 01:48:08,599 Speaker 1: That's a hard life. 2287 01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:11,839 Speaker 3: Everyone has talked about how miserable it is to exist 2288 01:48:12,200 --> 01:48:15,160 Speaker 3: in those environments. And I'm saying I support Bill Belichick 2289 01:48:15,160 --> 01:48:17,120 Speaker 3: because I think he is the greatest coach that we've 2290 01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:19,840 Speaker 3: seen at the pro level. What he's done should be 2291 01:48:19,880 --> 01:48:23,080 Speaker 3: emulated in terms of what they do tactically and strategically 2292 01:48:23,160 --> 01:48:23,920 Speaker 3: and how. 2293 01:48:23,760 --> 01:48:24,599 Speaker 1: He goes about it. 2294 01:48:24,640 --> 01:48:28,599 Speaker 3: But it doesn't necessarily have to be the Cold War 2295 01:48:28,840 --> 01:48:31,360 Speaker 3: in the building. And it's very similar to the Greg 2296 01:48:31,439 --> 01:48:34,840 Speaker 3: Popovich thing. Hey, everybody loves it until they don't. Like 2297 01:48:34,920 --> 01:48:38,559 Speaker 3: everybody loves it and winning, you tolerate it. But when 2298 01:48:38,560 --> 01:48:40,919 Speaker 3: it doesn't go well, like, it's not a fun environment 2299 01:48:41,240 --> 01:48:43,439 Speaker 3: to watch, it's not a great product to watch when 2300 01:48:43,439 --> 01:48:44,360 Speaker 3: it's not going well. 2301 01:48:44,400 --> 01:48:46,720 Speaker 1: So staying why there will be some hesbitancy. 2302 01:48:46,920 --> 01:48:48,960 Speaker 2: The media and Atlanta probably loved that he didn't get 2303 01:48:49,000 --> 01:48:50,720 Speaker 2: the job. You don't want to deal with him, I 2304 01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:52,240 Speaker 2: mean them media people don't want to deal with him. 2305 01:48:52,240 --> 01:48:52,719 Speaker 2: I'm sure. 2306 01:48:53,320 --> 01:48:57,280 Speaker 4: Well, it gives you relevance and national exposure, right for 2307 01:48:57,320 --> 01:49:00,559 Speaker 4: any questions you asked, et cetera, But it certainly doesn't 2308 01:49:00,600 --> 01:49:01,639 Speaker 4: make your job easier. 2309 01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:02,400 Speaker 2: That's for sure. 2310 01:49:02,760 --> 01:49:05,800 Speaker 4: That's for sure, right, I mean because look to your point, 2311 01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:08,599 Speaker 4: Bucky about you know when things go south.

A hunch, 2420 01:54:53,960 --> 01:54:58,040 Speaker 4: a hunch, not even a hey, I've got empirical evidence 2421 01:54:58,080 --> 01:54:59,960 Speaker 4: to tell me this is in the realm of possible, 2422 01:55:00,680 --> 01:55:02,800 Speaker 4: you know, like relationships you hang around with some in 2423 01:55:02,800 --> 01:55:04,600 Speaker 4: a while you could say, hey, this is moving in 2424 01:55:04,640 --> 01:55:08,680 Speaker 4: a good direction. You're like, I like doing I don't 2425 01:55:08,720 --> 01:55:11,360 Speaker 4: know whatever the subject is. Maybe that'll be my major 2426 01:55:11,400 --> 01:55:14,440 Speaker 4: in college. This was Ah, the Lions, all these years 2427 01:55:14,440 --> 01:55:17,120 Speaker 4: of futility, Let's get a tattoo. 2428 01:55:20,440 --> 01:55:23,000 Speaker 3: I mean, I mean that's a lot now, I mean 2429 01:55:23,040 --> 01:55:24,520 Speaker 3: that is a lot that you're dealing with. 2430 01:55:24,640 --> 01:55:25,480 Speaker 2: Can I remove the book? 2431 01:55:25,600 --> 01:55:28,240 Speaker 3: Is great if someone wants to do it, they want 2432 01:55:28,240 --> 01:55:29,720 Speaker 3: to be ahead of the curve, But yeah, I need 2433 01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:31,680 Speaker 3: to see it done before I do it. But I 2434 01:55:31,760 --> 01:55:34,560 Speaker 3: appreciate the faith, the leap of faith. 2435 01:55:34,760 --> 01:55:36,800 Speaker 1: That he just played. Hats off to my man. 2436 01:55:36,880 --> 01:55:38,840 Speaker 2: There you go. You know, I had a problem like 2437 01:55:38,920 --> 01:55:41,200 Speaker 2: that once, way back when when they opened up the 2438 01:55:41,240 --> 01:55:43,840 Speaker 2: fifth third Arena the campus of the University of Cincinnati. 2439 01:55:44,080 --> 01:55:47,280 Speaker 2: The first game ever played there. Bob Hopkins was coaching 2440 01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:49,880 Speaker 2: at the time, and they played University of Minnesota. And 2441 01:55:49,920 --> 01:55:52,040 Speaker 2: I was on the radio when Cincinnati. I said, there's 2442 01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:56,240 Speaker 2: no way on God's green Earth that honestly Cincinnati beats 2443 01:55:56,280 --> 01:55:59,320 Speaker 2: Minnesota in that game, all right, So I bet that 2444 01:55:59,360 --> 01:56:03,160 Speaker 2: they could shave my head if Cincinnati would win that game. 2445 01:56:03,520 --> 01:56:05,839 Speaker 2: And sure enough, a kid but the name of Steve Sanders, 2446 01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,720 Speaker 2: never forget it, hits a shot at the buzzer at 2447 01:56:08,760 --> 01:56:11,760 Speaker 2: Cincinnati beats Minnesota. And the next day I go down 2448 01:56:11,800 --> 01:56:13,880 Speaker 2: to the fifth third Arena and every kid on that 2449 01:56:13,920 --> 01:56:17,640 Speaker 2: team shaved my head completely bald. And more than that, 2450 01:56:17,960 --> 01:56:19,520 Speaker 2: not only did they shave a ball, they left a 2451 01:56:19,680 --> 01:56:22,040 Speaker 2: uc in the back of my head. They took a 2452 01:56:22,080 --> 01:56:24,000 Speaker 2: picture and it made the Sporting News. 2453 01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:28,360 Speaker 4: That's pretty good. Yeah, great, you got tackled by Iron 2454 01:56:28,560 --> 01:56:30,880 Speaker 4: Zering of Beverly Hills nine on two and zero. Good 2455 01:56:30,880 --> 01:56:32,960 Speaker 4: for you. Yeah, thank you, Steve Sanders. 2456 01:56:33,480 --> 01:56:36,800 Speaker 2: Steve Sanders still in Cincinnaties. 2457 01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:38,480 Speaker 4: How about that? But that's pretty good. But it's at 2458 01:56:38,600 --> 01:56:40,000 Speaker 4: least at an age where your hair is going to 2459 01:56:40,080 --> 01:56:44,480 Speaker 4: grow back. Man, there's the famous Seinfeld episode where you know, 2460 01:56:44,520 --> 01:56:47,440 Speaker 4: there's John Michael Higgins hanging out with a Lane and 2461 01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:49,920 Speaker 4: she's like, wait, I could be dating that hair because 2462 01:56:49,960 --> 01:56:51,840 Speaker 4: you know, I shaved it for my swim team. So 2463 01:56:51,880 --> 01:56:54,400 Speaker 4: he tries to regrow it and it's not coming back. 2464 01:56:55,080 --> 01:56:57,840 Speaker 4: Like if I did that now in my advanced years, 2465 01:56:57,880 --> 01:57:00,000 Speaker 4: I don't know that it's coming back. Andy, So I'm 2466 01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:03,240 Speaker 4: I'm not going down that road wearing those caps. Now, 2467 01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:06,520 Speaker 4: that's it. I got my beautiful Northwestern ball cap on 2468 01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:09,240 Speaker 4: after their beatdown of the Oh House dates. 2469 01:57:09,280 --> 01:57:11,880 Speaker 2: See, but you're a frontrunner, you won't wear a Chicago Bears. 2470 01:57:11,600 --> 01:57:14,280 Speaker 4: Hat, though I wear the Bears hat almost every day. 2471 01:57:14,360 --> 01:57:16,600 Speaker 4: Marks Mark's got his hands over his head, going what 2472 01:57:16,640 --> 01:57:19,200 Speaker 4: he's talking about. He's wearing a white Sox cap our 2473 01:57:19,240 --> 01:57:23,040 Speaker 4: technical producer and obviously got ian and normally clad in 2474 01:57:23,080 --> 01:57:25,720 Speaker 4: all of his jets gear because he's a believer. And 2475 01:57:25,840 --> 01:57:29,720 Speaker 4: speak of believing, do you believe, Hey, Coach Prime's kids 2476 01:57:29,800 --> 01:57:32,240 Speaker 4: got together and bought him a new house. 2477 01:57:33,240 --> 01:57:33,440 Speaker 1: You know. 2478 01:57:33,520 --> 01:57:35,840 Speaker 2: I read the story about that, and nowhere in the 2479 01:57:35,880 --> 01:57:37,800 Speaker 2: story does to say where they got the money from. 2480 01:57:37,840 --> 01:57:39,600 Speaker 2: Now that's what I'd like to know. Well, a lot 2481 01:57:39,600 --> 01:57:40,880 Speaker 2: of I l house. 2482 01:57:40,760 --> 01:57:43,080 Speaker 4: A lot of nil. You guys were talking about nil 2483 01:57:43,200 --> 01:57:46,680 Speaker 4: dollars a little bit earlier. We we know Shador you 2484 01:57:46,720 --> 01:57:49,200 Speaker 4: know was in the millions, or at least that was 2485 01:57:49,240 --> 01:57:51,960 Speaker 4: the estimate back at the end of September. 2486 01:57:52,360 --> 01:57:53,720 Speaker 2: Your kids of it, buy you a house? 2487 01:57:54,080 --> 01:57:56,800 Speaker 4: My kids, I'm lucky if they remember my birthday. Guys, 2488 01:57:58,000 --> 01:58:02,560 Speaker 4: I'm only half kidding. Most people don't. I celebrated my 2489 01:58:02,600 --> 01:58:06,720 Speaker 4: tenth anniversary on air in mid October with Smith and Frostburg, 2490 01:58:06,760 --> 01:58:08,800 Speaker 4: and they looked at me like I was nuts, because 2491 01:58:08,800 --> 01:58:10,400 Speaker 4: I was like, Oh, I brought in the leftovers of 2492 01:58:10,400 --> 01:58:14,200 Speaker 4: a cake that we had that I bought from my birthday. 2493 01:58:14,560 --> 01:58:16,960 Speaker 4: You bought it, No, I had to buy my brain 2494 01:58:17,080 --> 01:58:20,520 Speaker 4: Like this is a hotly contested thing in the household. 2495 01:58:20,520 --> 01:58:22,040 Speaker 4: But for years I would have to go buy my 2496 01:58:22,120 --> 01:58:25,720 Speaker 4: own like nobody bothered. So now my kids are old enough, 2497 01:58:25,720 --> 01:58:27,760 Speaker 4: perhaps they'll take care of pops. I don't see them 2498 01:58:27,760 --> 01:58:29,680 Speaker 4: buying me a house anytime soon, but if they get 2499 01:58:29,680 --> 01:58:32,200 Speaker 4: that successful, I'm not going to ask where the money 2500 01:58:32,200 --> 01:58:35,720 Speaker 4: came from. That's between them their mortgage company in the 2501 01:58:35,760 --> 01:58:36,160 Speaker 4: I R S. 2502 01:58:36,880 --> 01:58:39,160 Speaker 1: Wow, yeah, that's a great job. 2503 01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:42,280 Speaker 3: I mean, by their kids, Coach Brian being able to 2504 01:58:43,480 --> 01:58:46,440 Speaker 3: enjoy the fruits of his kids labor, that's that's pretty 2505 01:58:46,440 --> 01:58:47,520 Speaker 3: cool that they were able. 2506 01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:50,360 Speaker 2: To know that he enjoyed the fruits of alum's checks. 2507 01:58:50,440 --> 01:58:54,080 Speaker 4: Well right, Well, just like the paychecks that are getting 2508 01:58:54,120 --> 01:58:56,560 Speaker 4: cashed by Dion for his own work. 2509 01:58:56,680 --> 01:59:00,680 Speaker 2: No, yeah, crazy, And I mean it's just it's Look, 2510 01:59:00,840 --> 01:59:03,120 Speaker 2: if you're lucky enough to live in a region where 2511 01:59:03,400 --> 01:59:06,120 Speaker 2: college is king and you have some big time alums 2512 01:59:06,120 --> 01:59:08,440 Speaker 2: that have big time money, you're in great shape. You 2513 01:59:08,520 --> 01:59:11,240 Speaker 2: go to college that's in a major city like Northwestern, 2514 01:59:11,280 --> 01:59:15,600 Speaker 2: has it tough. They're in Chicago and basically at college, 2515 01:59:15,640 --> 01:59:17,760 Speaker 2: athletics take a second seat to the pros. 2516 01:59:17,840 --> 01:59:20,800 Speaker 4: Right, they should have had a first mover advantage. It's 2517 01:59:20,800 --> 01:59:23,839 Speaker 4: one of my main complaints about the administration and everybody 2518 01:59:23,840 --> 01:59:26,880 Speaker 4: around the program. They're finally getting with it now. But 2519 01:59:27,600 --> 01:59:32,800 Speaker 4: places like there, Stanford, Syracuse for the athletes you're going after, 2520 01:59:32,880 --> 01:59:35,720 Speaker 4: you had a first mover advantage, and you didn't take 2521 01:59:35,720 --> 01:59:38,640 Speaker 4: advantage of it, given all the media people and all 2522 01:59:38,680 --> 01:59:41,600 Speaker 4: of the prominent alums that you could have tapped into. 2523 01:59:41,760 --> 01:59:43,760 Speaker 4: That you didn't do that early enough and get that 2524 01:59:43,880 --> 01:59:48,080 Speaker 4: together was just foolhardy. And say nothing of the administration, 2525 01:59:48,160 --> 01:59:50,840 Speaker 4: and they're handling of many other events these last couple 2526 01:59:50,840 --> 01:59:54,400 Speaker 4: of months. But yeah, look, in the end, if you 2527 01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:56,680 Speaker 4: can go get it, get it. If not, you're still 2528 01:59:56,720 --> 02:00:00,400 Speaker 4: getting a college education. And we keep diminishing that that 2529 02:00:00,480 --> 02:00:02,160 Speaker 4: you can still actually just go to school. 2530 02:00:03,160 --> 02:00:04,880 Speaker 2: Right, But it's a lot easier for a loans to 2531 02:00:05,080 --> 02:00:07,520 Speaker 2: pony up money to say, if you live in still Water, 2532 02:00:07,560 --> 02:00:10,320 Speaker 2: Oklahoma with a rich alum, because there's no other pro 2533 02:00:10,320 --> 02:00:13,240 Speaker 2: sports around that may be in Philadelphia. 2534 02:00:14,160 --> 02:00:17,440 Speaker 4: But they're not donating to the Eagles or whatever, like 2535 02:00:17,560 --> 02:00:20,520 Speaker 4: they're going to be loyal to their school. Andy, you're saying, 2536 02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:21,920 Speaker 4: all right, who are you picking? 2537 02:00:22,880 --> 02:00:25,760 Speaker 2: Oh me, Yeah, Detroit and Baltimore. 2538 02:00:25,920 --> 02:00:28,040 Speaker 4: There you go.

And for the Patriots, Bill Belichick, 2574 02:02:21,920 --> 02:02:26,480 Speaker 4: Tom Brady, some will point to the nonsense that was 2575 02:02:26,600 --> 02:02:30,200 Speaker 4: to Flategate, go back further to Spygate. That's part of 2576 02:02:30,240 --> 02:02:33,320 Speaker 4: the Don Shula, let's go win as many games as 2577 02:02:33,360 --> 02:02:36,560 Speaker 4: we can, because he was not a fan of Belichick 2578 02:02:36,840 --> 02:02:39,960 Speaker 4: and everything there and the way they ran things. But 2579 02:02:40,240 --> 02:02:43,920 Speaker 4: for Patrick Mahomes, you're now in a place where if 2580 02:02:43,920 --> 02:02:46,840 Speaker 4: he gets back, just getting back to the super Bowl, Bucky, 2581 02:02:47,120 --> 02:02:51,080 Speaker 4: are we now changing the conversation of goat given the 2582 02:02:51,760 --> 02:02:54,400 Speaker 4: short amount of time it took him to get to 2583 02:02:54,480 --> 02:02:57,280 Speaker 4: these highly heralded marks. 2584 02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:02,000 Speaker 3: I think the comparison that we will with Pat Mahomes 2585 02:03:02,000 --> 02:03:05,320 Speaker 3: to Tom Brady would be Tiger Woods. 2586 02:03:04,920 --> 02:03:06,360 Speaker 1: Chasing Jack Nicholas. 2587 02:03:06,880 --> 02:03:10,720 Speaker 3: I think what happens is we then can have the 2588 02:03:10,800 --> 02:03:13,600 Speaker 3: conversation about him being the goat because we can begin 2589 02:03:13,680 --> 02:03:14,160 Speaker 3: to kind. 2590 02:03:14,000 --> 02:03:15,040 Speaker 1: Of try and plot it out. 2591 02:03:15,480 --> 02:03:17,920 Speaker 3: If Pat Mahomes gets to the super Bowl, that's one thing. 2592 02:03:17,920 --> 02:03:20,240 Speaker 3: If he wins the super Bowl, that would give him 2593 02:03:20,280 --> 02:03:24,760 Speaker 3: three and six years. That would give him three out 2594 02:03:24,800 --> 02:03:29,320 Speaker 3: of four. It would put him halfway home to where 2595 02:03:29,480 --> 02:03:32,280 Speaker 3: tom Brady's kind of established himself. Because remember, even though 2596 02:03:32,320 --> 02:03:35,600 Speaker 3: we as a football consuming public don't like quarterback wins, 2597 02:03:35,920 --> 02:03:38,640 Speaker 3: the reason why tom Brady's considered the goat is because 2598 02:03:38,640 --> 02:03:41,120 Speaker 3: he has seven rings. 2599 02:03:41,800 --> 02:03:43,120 Speaker 1: He has to collect. 2600 02:03:42,920 --> 02:03:45,440 Speaker 3: Rings to be able to close the conversation, To close 2601 02:03:45,480 --> 02:03:50,080 Speaker 3: the gap on tom Brady another win and doing it 2602 02:03:50,120 --> 02:03:52,960 Speaker 3: the way that he would do it with an underdog team. Yeah, 2603 02:03:52,960 --> 02:03:55,840 Speaker 3: that would kind of begin to chop away at some 2604 02:03:55,880 --> 02:04:00,000 Speaker 3: of the mythical separation that tom Brady has over him. 2605 02:04:00,200 --> 02:04:02,840 Speaker 4: It's fun because we get into kind of the nuanced 2606 02:04:02,880 --> 02:04:07,640 Speaker 4: conversations right of most athletic quarterback, and however you want 2607 02:04:07,680 --> 02:04:09,600 Speaker 4: to make those arguments because the folks that want to 2608 02:04:09,640 --> 02:04:13,680 Speaker 4: stand for Aaron Rodgers, we'll talk about the most talented guy, 2609 02:04:13,840 --> 02:04:17,480 Speaker 4: or go back to Peyton Manning and his precision and 2610 02:04:17,520 --> 02:04:22,280 Speaker 4: everything else. All along the way we romanticize, you know, 2611 02:04:22,440 --> 02:04:25,200 Speaker 4: years ago, Oh, if only Dan Marino had X Y 2612 02:04:25,480 --> 02:04:29,400 Speaker 4: or Z or John Elway, if he'd gotten Terrell Davis 2613 02:04:29,400 --> 02:04:31,880 Speaker 4: a year or two sooner, all of those things kind 2614 02:04:31,880 --> 02:04:33,680 Speaker 4: of come into play. If the Buffalo Bills had ever 2615 02:04:33,720 --> 02:04:37,200 Speaker 4: gotten over once. And that's the beauty of sport, is 2616 02:04:37,240 --> 02:04:39,520 Speaker 4: that the you know, we were also in the the 2617 02:04:39,600 --> 02:04:41,520 Speaker 4: Marvel universe. I don't know how deep you go into 2618 02:04:41,560 --> 02:04:44,320 Speaker 4: your Disney Plus subscription, Bucky, but you got the what 2619 02:04:44,480 --> 02:04:48,879 Speaker 4: if scenarios, what if this happened, and here's your alternate universe. 2620 02:04:49,280 --> 02:04:51,480 Speaker 4: We got a lot of that in the National Football League, 2621 02:04:51,640 --> 02:04:53,840 Speaker 4: you know, like if a kicker doesn't kick one wide 2622 02:04:53,960 --> 02:04:57,040 Speaker 4: right forty years ago or last Sunday. 2623 02:04:59,000 --> 02:05:02,120 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like that's kind of how that's kind 2624 02:05:02,080 --> 02:05:05,880 Speaker 3: of yet, Yeah, it's kind of funny how you brought 2625 02:05:05,960 --> 02:05:10,160 Speaker 3: up the Marvelcker characters and all those other guys and 2626 02:05:10,200 --> 02:05:12,480 Speaker 3: I know we'll have a conversation later about brock Purity 2627 02:05:12,480 --> 02:05:15,600 Speaker 3: and where brock pretty kind of fits in the landscape. 2628 02:05:15,760 --> 02:05:19,160 Speaker 3: I think it's funny because that man the noise on 2629 02:05:19,240 --> 02:05:22,520 Speaker 3: brock Purty, either you love him or hate him. 2630 02:05:23,400 --> 02:05:24,240 Speaker 1: Seen the quarterback. 2631 02:05:24,720 --> 02:05:26,920 Speaker 3: I've never seen a quarterback get so much of it 2632 02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:30,880 Speaker 3: either way. Right, So, for most of the season we 2633 02:05:30,920 --> 02:05:33,680 Speaker 3: were talking about brock Purity being the MVP, but then 2634 02:05:33,680 --> 02:05:37,160 Speaker 3: people were having a hard time envisioning brock pretty winning 2635 02:05:37,200 --> 02:05:40,920 Speaker 3: the MVP when you could say that Christian McCaffrey is 2636 02:05:40,960 --> 02:05:44,840 Speaker 3: to strayed, that stirs to drink. So I think some 2637 02:05:44,920 --> 02:05:46,920 Speaker 3: of the outrage that people have is you look at 2638 02:05:46,920 --> 02:05:48,800 Speaker 3: Pat Mahomes, you look at josh Allen, you look at 2639 02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:52,360 Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson. You look at all those guys as like superheroes. 2640 02:05:52,440 --> 02:05:52,640 Speaker 1: Right. 2641 02:05:52,960 --> 02:05:57,080 Speaker 3: You can see the mystical, magical superpowers that they all possess. 2642 02:05:57,640 --> 02:06:00,480 Speaker 3: You know, Pat Mahomes and the arm talent, Josh Alan 2643 02:06:00,560 --> 02:06:03,240 Speaker 3: being like this wonder boy that can do it as 2644 02:06:03,280 --> 02:06:05,680 Speaker 3: a runner or thrower. Lamar Jackson they talk about his 2645 02:06:05,800 --> 02:06:08,440 Speaker 3: legs and his electric ability. And then you look at 2646 02:06:08,480 --> 02:06:11,840 Speaker 3: Rock Purty, right, and Brock Purdy looks like the common man. 2647 02:06:12,160 --> 02:06:16,880 Speaker 3: But to me, brock Purty is Tony Starks. Brock Purty 2648 02:06:16,960 --> 02:06:19,840 Speaker 3: is iron Man. You can't visually see that he is 2649 02:06:20,200 --> 02:06:22,880 Speaker 3: a superpower, but when you put the armor on, you 2650 02:06:23,000 --> 02:06:26,320 Speaker 3: surrounded with Deebo Samuel and Christa McCaffrey and George Kittle 2651 02:06:26,520 --> 02:06:29,400 Speaker 3: in the system that is orchestrated by the mad signedist 2652 02:06:29,440 --> 02:06:33,240 Speaker 3: Col Shanahan. He does play like a superhero. So I 2653 02:06:33,240 --> 02:06:36,600 Speaker 3: think we have to give him credit for being a 2654 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:39,680 Speaker 3: part of the Avengers, but being a little different. He's 2655 02:06:39,720 --> 02:06:41,320 Speaker 3: just a little different than some of the other guys. 2656 02:06:41,360 --> 02:06:42,880 Speaker 3: He can't flame on like some of the guys. 2657 02:06:43,080 --> 02:06:46,160 Speaker 4: Oh, and he sacrificed himself laying out just like Tony Starks. 2658 02:06:46,160 --> 02:06:48,240 Speaker 4: See what I did there, I went all in game. 2659 02:06:48,320 --> 02:06:50,720 Speaker 4: I jok your analogy and I ran with it all 2660 02:06:50,720 --> 02:06:53,120 Speaker 4: the way to the end. Look, regular guy, you know 2661 02:06:53,160 --> 02:06:55,240 Speaker 4: they point out what he wears. I'll look at the 2662 02:06:55,320 --> 02:06:57,560 Speaker 4: cute backpack on his back because he walks. 2663 02:06:58,160 --> 02:06:59,080 Speaker 1: He doesn't have any money. 2664 02:06:59,680 --> 02:07:02,960 Speaker 4: But that's the thing, right, all that, alright, this guy 2665 02:07:03,040 --> 02:07:05,280 Speaker 4: is gonna make this much in this game versus him 2666 02:07:05,360 --> 02:07:08,480 Speaker 4: Like they're both still quarterbacks. They're both still playing for 2667 02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:12,080 Speaker 4: big stakes. And last week you know Purdy wasn't perfect, 2668 02:07:12,480 --> 02:07:15,520 Speaker 4: but he made the plays that mattered. Right, We talked 2669 02:07:15,520 --> 02:07:17,760 Speaker 4: about it all week long, and like there was a 2670 02:07:17,800 --> 02:07:20,680 Speaker 4: lot to love. No pun intended about what you saw 2671 02:07:20,760 --> 02:07:24,320 Speaker 4: from Jordan Love. But he made the unconscionable throw at 2672 02:07:24,360 --> 02:07:29,839 Speaker 4: the end. Throw that from you teaching high school football, 2673 02:07:30,240 --> 02:07:32,640 Speaker 4: which is why you didn't throw the ball a couple 2674 02:07:32,680 --> 02:07:34,200 Speaker 4: of years ago, and you just read it cause you 2675 02:07:34,200 --> 02:07:38,200 Speaker 4: didn't trust guys to make that decision. And so Jordan 2676 02:07:38,240 --> 02:07:40,240 Speaker 4: Love made that decision and cost him a game. Like 2677 02:07:40,280 --> 02:07:42,000 Speaker 4: he could have thrown the ball out of bounds, He 2678 02:07:42,000 --> 02:07:44,160 Speaker 4: could have run out of bounds, could have slid down, 2679 02:07:44,440 --> 02:07:47,360 Speaker 4: done a million different things, lived to see another down, 2680 02:07:47,400 --> 02:07:50,120 Speaker 4: They still had time, they still had timeouts, all of that, 2681 02:07:50,520 --> 02:07:53,800 Speaker 4: and he made the bad decision. Rock Purdy when it mattered, 2682 02:07:54,600 --> 02:07:58,720 Speaker 4: was pinpoint precision and laid out his body on runs 2683 02:07:58,720 --> 02:08:03,280 Speaker 4: to extend play. Like Yet I'm telling the guys, I 2684 02:08:03,320 --> 02:08:05,080 Speaker 4: think a lot of it has to do you know, 2685 02:08:05,320 --> 02:08:08,200 Speaker 4: you talk about the iron Man armor. I think it's 2686 02:08:08,280 --> 02:08:10,840 Speaker 4: the branding of the forty nine ers logo on his 2687 02:08:10,920 --> 02:08:14,840 Speaker 4: helmet because it immediately starts, you know, evoking images. You 2688 02:08:14,880 --> 02:08:16,920 Speaker 4: want to go to Montana, You want to go to Steve. 2689 02:08:17,000 --> 02:08:19,400 Speaker 4: You you want to you to go back to Kaepernick 2690 02:08:19,920 --> 02:08:23,400 Speaker 4: when he was at his peak of his powers, right, 2691 02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:25,760 Speaker 4: all of those things, like you're comparing him to this 2692 02:08:26,000 --> 02:08:28,320 Speaker 4: historic place where there's a lot already a lot of 2693 02:08:28,320 --> 02:08:31,400 Speaker 4: hate and vitriol because everybody says, ah, there's no cheering 2694 02:08:31,400 --> 02:08:33,680 Speaker 4: in the press box. Now we can read between the 2695 02:08:33,720 --> 02:08:36,120 Speaker 4: lines in your ink a lot, or if you're on 2696 02:08:36,240 --> 02:08:39,560 Speaker 4: the radio or you're on television, we know where your 2697 02:08:39,600 --> 02:08:43,920 Speaker 4: loyalties lie. Oftentimes, as much as we, you know, can 2698 02:08:44,000 --> 02:08:46,960 Speaker 4: appreciate a player, there are teams that we don't like. 2699 02:08:47,000 --> 02:08:48,960 Speaker 4: I was talking with Mark about this, right growing up 2700 02:08:49,000 --> 02:08:51,880 Speaker 4: in Chicago, like we had the Bears on and then 2701 02:08:51,960 --> 02:08:54,640 Speaker 4: the second game, without fail was going to be the 2702 02:08:54,680 --> 02:08:57,680 Speaker 4: forty nine Ers or the Cowboys. So guess what you 2703 02:08:57,720 --> 02:09:00,920 Speaker 4: grow up with an unnatural hate of the Cowboys and 2704 02:09:00,960 --> 02:09:03,640 Speaker 4: forty nine ers a respect for them. But I wanted 2705 02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:05,400 Speaker 4: to see everything else, you know, I got the two 2706 02:09:05,480 --> 02:09:08,240 Speaker 4: minutes of you know, highlights every now and again where 2707 02:09:08,240 --> 02:09:11,360 Speaker 4: i'd see or the George Spy Michael Sports machine would 2708 02:09:11,360 --> 02:09:14,320 Speaker 4: crank up deep on a Sunday night and I'd get 2709 02:09:14,320 --> 02:09:16,720 Speaker 4: to see highlights of all these other mythical teams, but 2710 02:09:16,720 --> 02:09:18,640 Speaker 4: I sure as hell never saw them on a Sunday 2711 02:09:18,680 --> 02:09:19,320 Speaker 4: in Chicago. 2712 02:09:20,440 --> 02:09:24,000 Speaker 1: Mm hmm, yeah. I mean that's how it goes. I mean, 2713 02:09:24,080 --> 02:09:27,720 Speaker 1: like we we love to hate the winners. 2714 02:09:27,880 --> 02:09:29,480 Speaker 4: Oh you're Atario, you get this. 2715 02:09:30,520 --> 02:09:30,880 Speaker 1: I love it. 2716 02:09:30,920 --> 02:09:32,720 Speaker 3: I mean, like, look, it's no different than I sat 2717 02:09:32,800 --> 02:09:36,520 Speaker 3: here yesterday and I watched the Duke Blue levels play 2718 02:09:36,560 --> 02:09:39,360 Speaker 3: against Clemson, and I had the whole thing, like, I 2719 02:09:39,400 --> 02:09:42,080 Speaker 3: cannot believe that they're going to win this game, shooting 2720 02:09:42,120 --> 02:09:45,040 Speaker 3: free throws on these calls down the stretch. But part 2721 02:09:45,040 --> 02:09:47,600 Speaker 3: of it is because the disdain for Duke not only 2722 02:09:47,640 --> 02:09:50,160 Speaker 3: is the natural robbery, but for so many years, you've 2723 02:09:50,160 --> 02:09:52,680 Speaker 3: seen them win for so many years, it seems like 2724 02:09:52,720 --> 02:09:55,680 Speaker 3: they just have the advantage, whether it's their own talent 2725 02:09:56,240 --> 02:09:59,960 Speaker 3: or like referee seeming to favor them and their style 2726 02:10:00,200 --> 02:10:03,080 Speaker 3: playing giving them these fifty to fifty calls. That's part 2727 02:10:03,160 --> 02:10:05,320 Speaker 3: of it, but that's part of why you tune in 2728 02:10:05,360 --> 02:10:07,360 Speaker 3: and watch it. And the forty nine ers definitely have 2729 02:10:07,520 --> 02:10:10,480 Speaker 3: that feel. They definitely bring back some of those images 2730 02:10:10,880 --> 02:10:14,120 Speaker 3: from the look the eighties and nineties when they were 2731 02:10:14,280 --> 02:10:16,200 Speaker 3: one of the top teams and they dominated at a 2732 02:10:16,240 --> 02:10:19,080 Speaker 3: high level. So brock Ferdy gets all of that. He 2733 02:10:19,200 --> 02:10:21,720 Speaker 3: catches the strays for people to hate the Niners, but 2734 02:10:21,800 --> 02:10:24,680 Speaker 3: he also catches maybe some of the extra love and 2735 02:10:24,720 --> 02:10:28,560 Speaker 3: boosts because people see him as the next coming of 2736 02:10:28,600 --> 02:10:31,040 Speaker 3: the great quarterbacks that have been there and Joe Montana 2737 02:10:31,040 --> 02:10:31,640 Speaker 3: and Steve Young. 2738 02:10:31,800 --> 02:10:34,800 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny. You were echoing a little of Steve 2739 02:10:34,880 --> 02:10:38,280 Speaker 4: Kerr with your commentary on the free throws for Duke 2740 02:10:38,360 --> 02:10:42,600 Speaker 4: and Clemson. You know, Steve Kerr pointing out the forty 2741 02:10:42,680 --> 02:10:46,280 Speaker 4: three to sixteen disparity in that Lakers win over the 2742 02:10:46,280 --> 02:10:49,280 Speaker 4: Warriors yesterday. And because I need to pull it back 2743 02:10:49,320 --> 02:10:51,160 Speaker 4: to the Royal Rumble, you know, it was down there 2744 02:10:51,200 --> 02:10:55,200 Speaker 4: in Florida. They played it at Tropicana Field to over 2745 02:10:55,320 --> 02:10:59,280 Speaker 4: forty thousand in attendance, and you had a hul Cogan 2746 02:10:59,320 --> 02:11:04,040 Speaker 4: because he's mister Clearwater, mister Saint Pete whatever. He opened 2747 02:11:04,040 --> 02:11:05,280 Speaker 4: the show and there were a lot of rumors that 2748 02:11:05,320 --> 02:11:07,680 Speaker 4: he might show up as part of the rumble. But 2749 02:11:08,640 --> 02:11:10,720 Speaker 4: it was funny because Steph Curry leaving the court, he 2750 02:11:10,720 --> 02:11:13,320 Speaker 4: actually did the Hogan thing and started ripping away his jersey. 2751 02:11:14,160 --> 02:11:16,440 Speaker 4: Like the Hulks are always toward the T shirt. It's 2752 02:11:16,480 --> 02:11:18,840 Speaker 4: like he's walking back, he's chewing on the mouthpiece, and 2753 02:11:18,880 --> 02:11:22,160 Speaker 4: he goes brother and starts ripping that warrior's jersey. That's 2754 02:11:22,160 --> 02:11:24,200 Speaker 4: the one. I think, that's the gamer I want of 2755 02:11:24,240 --> 02:11:24,800 Speaker 4: all time. 2756 02:11:25,320 --> 02:11:28,320 Speaker 3: Do you think he already had some pre design cuts 2757 02:11:28,320 --> 02:11:30,560 Speaker 3: in there to make it easier to or do you 2758 02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,760 Speaker 3: think that tip that Steph Curry just absolutely just he 2759 02:11:33,800 --> 02:11:35,920 Speaker 3: was strong enough, his grip strength was strong enough to 2760 02:11:35,960 --> 02:11:37,680 Speaker 3: he could just pull it apart at the seams. 2761 02:11:37,760 --> 02:11:41,080 Speaker 4: Since we're on a Superhero hour, I want to hope 2762 02:11:41,080 --> 02:11:43,440 Speaker 4: that the latter is true there, Bucky. I want to 2763 02:11:43,480 --> 02:11:46,640 Speaker 4: hope that it was his super strength and the adrenaline 2764 02:11:46,680 --> 02:11:50,160 Speaker 4: of that loss and the frustrations of a season gone 2765 02:11:50,240 --> 02:11:54,800 Speaker 4: awry that would lead him to such superhuman kind of capabilities. 2766 02:11:54,880 --> 02:11:57,200 Speaker 4: But I think your former point of there was probably 2767 02:11:57,240 --> 02:11:59,040 Speaker 4: a pre cut in there. 2768 02:12:00,080 --> 02:12:02,360 Speaker 1: Pertly perfectly perforated. 2769 02:12:02,520 --> 02:12:04,600 Speaker 3: A perforated's here somewhere in there where he's like, hey, 2770 02:12:04,640 --> 02:12:07,560 Speaker 3: if I just go to disport below the neckline, I 2771 02:12:07,600 --> 02:12:09,600 Speaker 3: can I can get it off. 2772 02:12:09,680 --> 02:12:11,480 Speaker 4: And in the back you started hearing I am a 2773 02:12:11,520 --> 02:12:16,880 Speaker 4: real American when it comes crash, so all that fun 2774 02:12:16,960 --> 02:12:19,760 Speaker 4: flows through. But yeah, I think with Perty it's just funny, right, 2775 02:12:19,800 --> 02:12:22,520 Speaker 4: because even in that three game losing streak, remember he 2776 02:12:22,600 --> 02:12:25,840 Speaker 4: made a a They had a tremendous drive to put 2777 02:12:25,840 --> 02:12:28,440 Speaker 4: them in position for what should have been a chip 2778 02:12:28,440 --> 02:12:31,440 Speaker 4: shot for Moody and he missed it. And I think 2779 02:12:31,520 --> 02:12:34,280 Speaker 4: that's one of the big question marks along the way, 2780 02:12:35,000 --> 02:12:37,720 Speaker 4: and maybe it's answered a little bit here, you know, 2781 02:12:37,760 --> 02:12:41,080 Speaker 4: at least on the AFC side, is that, Look, we 2782 02:12:41,080 --> 02:12:44,040 Speaker 4: we expect tight games, right, even if it's we're looking 2783 02:12:44,080 --> 02:12:46,960 Speaker 4: at a point spread sitting around seven, and I know 2784 02:12:47,040 --> 02:12:50,960 Speaker 4: the Ravens Chiefs had ballooned out to four and a half, 2785 02:12:51,000 --> 02:12:53,760 Speaker 4: which meant more and more money was coming in on 2786 02:12:53,800 --> 02:12:57,560 Speaker 4: the Ravens because it started at four. But you're looking 2787 02:12:57,600 --> 02:13:02,000 Speaker 4: at trying to find it advantages here, like you've got 2788 02:13:02,000 --> 02:13:05,440 Speaker 4: the veteran kickers on the AFC side and on the 2789 02:13:05,560 --> 02:13:10,400 Speaker 4: NFC you're kind of shrugging, going right, let's see right, 2790 02:13:10,440 --> 02:13:13,760 Speaker 4: you don't have that. All right, Hey, let's trot out Butker, Okay, 2791 02:13:14,040 --> 02:13:16,640 Speaker 4: let's trot out Tucker. All right, Moody, go get it. 2792 02:13:16,680 --> 02:13:21,080 Speaker 4: I mean, we saw what happened with Andrews Carlson last week. Yeah, right, 2793 02:13:21,160 --> 02:13:24,120 Speaker 4: makeable field. But we saw what happened with Bass more 2794 02:13:24,120 --> 02:13:27,880 Speaker 4: of a veteran and really just a terrible effort all 2795 02:13:27,920 --> 02:13:31,280 Speaker 4: around there in terms of pushing it wide right and 2796 02:13:31,360 --> 02:13:35,120 Speaker 4: giving the layup call I mean on the spot with it, 2797 02:13:35,640 --> 02:13:39,520 Speaker 4: but certainly there for you because like the kicking game matters, 2798 02:13:39,800 --> 02:13:41,880 Speaker 4: and it's one of those like Robbie Gold went a 2799 02:13:41,880 --> 02:13:44,080 Speaker 4: full year with nobody giving him a call. I get 2800 02:13:44,120 --> 02:13:48,760 Speaker 4: he's expensive at all, But given the the gravity of 2801 02:13:48,800 --> 02:13:52,400 Speaker 4: a lot of these circumstances for teams and where that's 2802 02:13:52,440 --> 02:13:56,040 Speaker 4: the margin, I still am always kind of scratching my 2803 02:13:56,080 --> 02:13:58,240 Speaker 4: head when we go to go to these big games 2804 02:13:58,240 --> 02:13:58,879 Speaker 4: with rookies. 2805 02:14:00,720 --> 02:14:04,480 Speaker 3: Yeah, look, we talk about the kicking game. We talk 2806 02:14:04,520 --> 02:14:06,840 Speaker 3: about kickers, and everyone hates kickers until you need them 2807 02:14:06,880 --> 02:14:07,880 Speaker 3: to make a big kick. 2808 02:14:10,080 --> 02:14:12,920 Speaker 1: Look at something to watch. And it's not only just the. 2809 02:14:12,920 --> 02:14:18,320 Speaker 3: Kick the field goal attempts. It's the pats because they 2810 02:14:18,360 --> 02:14:20,440 Speaker 3: moved the pat back, which is funny. I never would 2811 02:14:20,440 --> 02:14:22,120 Speaker 3: have thought that moving it back to the fifteen yard 2812 02:14:22,120 --> 02:14:23,920 Speaker 3: I would have such an impact on the game, but 2813 02:14:24,440 --> 02:14:26,720 Speaker 3: it has, you know, and it's made it more sight 2814 02:14:26,760 --> 02:14:31,440 Speaker 3: and it's also made two point conversions a thing. Look, 2815 02:14:31,480 --> 02:14:34,240 Speaker 3: the kicking game will matter. Someone is going to make 2816 02:14:34,240 --> 02:14:37,280 Speaker 3: a play in the kicking game that ultimately tilts the 2817 02:14:37,920 --> 02:14:40,360 Speaker 3: game in their team's direction. 2818 02:14:40,040 --> 02:14:42,120 Speaker 1: And I can't wait to see it. 2819 02:14:42,160 --> 02:14:46,640 Speaker 3: Man. I love these games because these games are not 2820 02:14:46,840 --> 02:14:49,280 Speaker 3: so much about one team winning, but it's the team 2821 02:14:49,360 --> 02:14:51,760 Speaker 3: that is able to not lose the game, the team 2822 02:14:51,800 --> 02:14:55,080 Speaker 3: that can avoid the egregious era, the mistake that really 2823 02:14:55,200 --> 02:14:58,560 Speaker 3: costs and flips the field or gives the team an 2824 02:14:58,600 --> 02:15:01,360 Speaker 3: easy seven points. Those are the teams to end up 2825 02:15:01,400 --> 02:15:03,160 Speaker 3: winning and win at the highest level in these high 2826 02:15:03,160 --> 02:15:03,960 Speaker 3: pressure moments. 2827 02:15:04,520 --> 02:15:08,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, just chaos potential. They're all around, So everybody gets 2828 02:15:08,600 --> 02:15:11,760 Speaker 4: your vitriol out. But certainly Brock perty a guy that 2829 02:15:12,280 --> 02:15:14,200 Speaker 4: even if he wins, he's still got to go win 2830 02:15:14,240 --> 02:15:16,960 Speaker 4: one more. I think we could stipulate to that, like, 2831 02:15:17,000 --> 02:15:18,800 Speaker 4: even if he beats the Lions, gonna be like, all right, 2832 02:15:19,600 --> 02:15:22,720 Speaker 4: he was carried by x YZ to this place that 2833 02:15:22,920 --> 02:15:25,080 Speaker 4: unless they walk off with the super Bowl, and even 2834 02:15:25,120 --> 02:15:27,440 Speaker 4: then it's still going to be a supporting cast, at 2835 02:15:27,520 --> 02:15:32,080 Speaker 4: least for some members of our collective national media and 2836 02:15:32,120 --> 02:15:35,640 Speaker 4: the dissonance that rolls from there. We're here in the 2837 02:15:35,840 --> 02:15:38,520 Speaker 4: tire rack dot Com, Fox Sports Radio Studios, Mike Carman 2838 02:15:38,560 --> 02:15:41,160 Speaker 4: alongside Bucky Brooks. I want to stay with that Detroit 2839 02:15:41,200 --> 02:15:44,360 Speaker 4: San Francisco game coming up, because there's one part of 2840 02:15:44,600 --> 02:15:47,560 Speaker 4: the San Francisco attack that's got me a little bit 2841 02:15:47,680 --> 02:15:50,280 Speaker 4: nervous while to see if Bucky can allay those fears 2842 02:15:50,520 --> 02:15:52,680 Speaker 4: or give me reason for you know, give me reason 2843 02:15:52,720 --> 02:15:56,240 Speaker 4: for hope, or does he confirm it and maybe get 2844 02:15:56,240 --> 02:15:59,920 Speaker 4: the flaming dumpster fire going in conjunction with my thought 2845 02:16:00,080 --> 02:16:01,960 Speaker 4: line of thought, we'll do that coming up next here 2846 02:16:02,160 --> 02:16:06,040 Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio. Hey, welcome back in. We're live 2847 02:16:06,080 --> 02:16:11,240 Speaker 4: from Thetirac dot Com Fox Sports Radio studios. Almost hit 2848 02:16:11,280 --> 02:16:16,560 Speaker 4: the post, quanked it like taking a penalty kick and 2849 02:16:16,560 --> 02:16:19,480 Speaker 4: then hitting the crossbar and then the goalie thinks he 2850 02:16:19,520 --> 02:16:23,400 Speaker 4: did something. He's Bucky Brooks up by Carmen, Fox Sports Radio, 2851 02:16:23,480 --> 02:16:29,160 Speaker 4: Fox Football Sunday Championship Edition. Yeah, it's early here on 2852 02:16:29,240 --> 02:16:33,560 Speaker 4: the West Coast. I mentioned it earlier last hour. The 2853 02:16:33,640 --> 02:16:37,200 Speaker 4: horribaw billboards are everywhere and come in and buy tickets 2854 02:16:37,200 --> 02:16:41,280 Speaker 4: and watch this new look Chargers squad. But we go 2855 02:16:41,400 --> 02:16:44,600 Speaker 4: back into the NFC title game later on today. As 2856 02:16:44,600 --> 02:16:48,520 Speaker 4: I'm watching some video of Jared Goff throws and Jamier 2857 02:16:48,600 --> 02:16:51,320 Speaker 4: Gibbs running all over the place, and the one area 2858 02:16:51,320 --> 02:16:53,920 Speaker 4: of concern for me when you look at the forty 2859 02:16:54,000 --> 02:16:56,760 Speaker 4: nine ers and you know, big favorites at home and 2860 02:16:56,800 --> 02:16:59,440 Speaker 4: all of that, Bucky, is are they going to get 2861 02:16:59,440 --> 02:17:02,320 Speaker 4: production of that defensive line. For all the names for 2862 02:17:02,520 --> 02:17:07,240 Speaker 4: the acquisition of Chase Young, etc. It's been fairly quiet 2863 02:17:07,320 --> 02:17:09,959 Speaker 4: up front. How do they get jump started against rag 2864 02:17:10,000 --> 02:17:14,840 Speaker 4: Now and this highly heralded Detroit offensive line. 2865 02:17:15,360 --> 02:17:17,840 Speaker 3: Well, the first thing is they gotta win on early downs. 2866 02:17:18,280 --> 02:17:21,200 Speaker 3: So the Achilles Heal of the forty nine ers of 2867 02:17:21,280 --> 02:17:23,280 Speaker 3: late has been their inability to stop the running game. 2868 02:17:23,320 --> 02:17:25,800 Speaker 3: We saw the Green Bay Packers have success running the football. 2869 02:17:25,840 --> 02:17:27,119 Speaker 3: It was one of the reasons why they were able 2870 02:17:27,200 --> 02:17:29,720 Speaker 3: to dominate the game even though they came up short. 2871 02:17:29,959 --> 02:17:32,600 Speaker 3: So for the Niners, first down is everything. They got 2872 02:17:32,600 --> 02:17:34,520 Speaker 3: to win on first down and force Jared Golf in 2873 02:17:34,560 --> 02:17:37,840 Speaker 3: the lines into obvious passing situations where then they can 2874 02:17:37,920 --> 02:17:40,440 Speaker 3: kick out, get into those wide nine alignments spinning. Their 2875 02:17:40,480 --> 02:17:44,080 Speaker 3: defensive ends are super wide coming in those track stances and. 2876 02:17:44,080 --> 02:17:45,520 Speaker 1: To get after Jared Golf. 2877 02:17:45,800 --> 02:17:50,640 Speaker 3: But look, it stands from their ability to stop the 2878 02:17:50,720 --> 02:17:53,040 Speaker 3: running game. If they don't stop the running game, it's 2879 02:17:53,040 --> 02:17:54,440 Speaker 3: gonna be a long day for the forty nine ers. 2880 02:17:54,480 --> 02:17:57,840 Speaker 3: And I'm saying this acknowledging that they are the better team, 2881 02:17:57,879 --> 02:18:00,480 Speaker 3: the more talented team. But if they cannot stopped the 2882 02:18:00,520 --> 02:18:02,600 Speaker 3: lines from running, the football is gonna be a problem for. 2883 02:18:02,920 --> 02:18:05,600 Speaker 4: Of course, living across the middle. Maybe the forty nine 2884 02:18:05,680 --> 02:18:09,320 Speaker 4: ers actually make a play against Saint Brown or Laporta 2885 02:18:09,840 --> 02:18:12,120 Speaker 4: over the middle. Where the last couple of rounds, it 2886 02:18:12,160 --> 02:18:15,960 Speaker 4: seems the defensive coordinators forgot about that part that Goff 2887 02:18:16,080 --> 02:18:19,400 Speaker 4: will eat you alive over the middle if he gets 2888 02:18:19,440 --> 02:18:23,320 Speaker 4: time to throw. So creativity on the defensive end certainly 2889 02:18:24,040 --> 02:18:28,680 Speaker 4: part of the equation. Later on, Deebo Samuel expected to 2890 02:18:28,760 --> 02:18:32,959 Speaker 4: go how much like last week? You know, Aaron Jones 2891 02:18:33,120 --> 02:18:36,840 Speaker 4: clearly a different guy. Whatever happened early in the season, 2892 02:18:37,240 --> 02:18:40,959 Speaker 4: whatever happened missing time, he came back like he was 2893 02:18:40,959 --> 02:18:43,520 Speaker 4: shot out of a cannon again, going back to our 2894 02:18:43,840 --> 02:18:47,520 Speaker 4: Marvel analogies and going back into the lab. You know 2895 02:18:47,520 --> 02:18:50,760 Speaker 4: everything special you came out of it and all of that. 2896 02:18:50,840 --> 02:18:53,040 Speaker 4: I have no idea what kind of treatments he got 2897 02:18:53,160 --> 02:18:56,000 Speaker 4: or what they schemed up. But suddenly he's running like 2898 02:18:56,000 --> 02:18:59,480 Speaker 4: a man possessed. But Deebo Samuel and what he means 2899 02:18:59,520 --> 02:19:03,760 Speaker 4: to that? Sam Francisco offense last week with him a 2900 02:19:03,959 --> 02:19:09,439 Speaker 4: sidelined certainly we saw, you know, a much different complexion 2901 02:19:09,480 --> 02:19:13,080 Speaker 4: to this offense where you lose some of those specialty 2902 02:19:13,160 --> 02:19:17,120 Speaker 4: plays and what makes him so explosive. He says he's 2903 02:19:17,240 --> 02:19:19,800 Speaker 4: ready to go, and certainly for a championship game, you 2904 02:19:19,840 --> 02:19:22,680 Speaker 4: would expect nothing else Bucky. But how do you get 2905 02:19:22,720 --> 02:19:24,760 Speaker 4: the most out of him while making sure that he's 2906 02:19:24,760 --> 02:19:26,680 Speaker 4: still there when the final gun sounds. 2907 02:19:27,280 --> 02:19:29,520 Speaker 1: Look, I don't think you can think about it. You can't. 2908 02:19:29,920 --> 02:19:33,080 Speaker 3: You can't worry about Debo not being there at the end. 2909 02:19:33,120 --> 02:19:35,720 Speaker 3: You have to treat him like he's one hundred percent 2910 02:19:36,120 --> 02:19:38,720 Speaker 3: ready to play and available. That means he has to 2911 02:19:38,800 --> 02:19:40,640 Speaker 3: be in the backfield, he has to be split out wide, 2912 02:19:40,680 --> 02:19:42,160 Speaker 3: he has to be using a slide. You have to 2913 02:19:42,240 --> 02:19:44,640 Speaker 3: run the reverses and fake reverses and jet sweeps and 2914 02:19:44,680 --> 02:19:47,440 Speaker 3: all those things that are customary to the game plan. 2915 02:19:47,920 --> 02:19:51,039 Speaker 1: You have to have those things in there. That's it. 2916 02:19:51,640 --> 02:19:52,800 Speaker 1: If he's hurt. 2917 02:19:52,840 --> 02:19:56,400 Speaker 3: And you're trying to make them defend him while keeping 2918 02:19:56,400 --> 02:19:58,960 Speaker 3: them available as a decoy, well then some of that 2919 02:19:59,040 --> 02:20:01,640 Speaker 3: is just positioning their knowing he look here, but I'm 2920 02:20:01,680 --> 02:20:02,520 Speaker 3: going elsewhere. 2921 02:20:02,760 --> 02:20:04,720 Speaker 1: He just needs to be on the field and available. 2922 02:20:04,760 --> 02:20:06,959 Speaker 3: He has to make some plays though, because after a while, 2923 02:20:06,959 --> 02:20:08,320 Speaker 3: the line's a sniff out. 2924 02:20:08,480 --> 02:20:10,600 Speaker 1: Any type of strategy where they're like a man. They're 2925 02:20:10,600 --> 02:20:11,320 Speaker 1: not using him. 2926 02:20:11,520 --> 02:20:13,960 Speaker 3: He's not full goal, he's not a real threat, and 2927 02:20:14,000 --> 02:20:15,800 Speaker 3: they'll direct their attention elsewhere. 2928 02:20:16,120 --> 02:20:18,560 Speaker 4: Now for the Lions, looking for keys to the game, 2929 02:20:18,600 --> 02:20:23,240 Speaker 4: we talked about the run game obviously gives Montgomery Jared 2930 02:20:23,280 --> 02:20:25,800 Speaker 4: Goff a couple of weeks ago against the Rams nearly 2931 02:20:25,920 --> 02:20:30,440 Speaker 4: perfect but with pressure the Opers winning on first and 2932 02:20:30,480 --> 02:20:33,040 Speaker 4: second down. I mean, I guess that's it, right, getting 2933 02:20:33,400 --> 02:20:35,560 Speaker 4: being able to pin your ears back on him and 2934 02:20:35,879 --> 02:20:37,880 Speaker 4: seeing if he can't force the mistake, because they almost 2935 02:20:37,879 --> 02:20:41,920 Speaker 4: did last week. Unfortunately you had Dean drop it. If 2936 02:20:41,920 --> 02:20:46,039 Speaker 4: you're a Buccaneers fan, rolling rolling through from there. So 2937 02:20:46,680 --> 02:20:50,400 Speaker 4: you know, for the Lions on the defensive side, you 2938 02:20:50,440 --> 02:20:53,200 Speaker 4: know where where's the key. Is it Aiden Hutchinson trying 2939 02:20:53,240 --> 02:20:56,039 Speaker 4: to get off and get free run, or is it 2940 02:20:56,320 --> 02:20:59,360 Speaker 4: you know, Aaron Glenn doing everything he can to help 2941 02:20:59,720 --> 02:21:01,160 Speaker 4: that defensive backfield. 2942 02:21:02,520 --> 02:21:04,680 Speaker 3: You got to help the defensive backfield, but more important 2943 02:21:04,680 --> 02:21:06,680 Speaker 3: than you got a GM the middle of the field. 2944 02:21:06,920 --> 02:21:09,800 Speaker 3: So the teams that have successfully defended the Niners have 2945 02:21:09,920 --> 02:21:12,279 Speaker 3: taken away the middle of the field. 2946 02:21:12,440 --> 02:21:12,800 Speaker 1: You saw. 2947 02:21:12,800 --> 02:21:14,720 Speaker 3: And I had a conversation with a coach who has 2948 02:21:14,720 --> 02:21:17,280 Speaker 3: played against the Niners several times, and he talked about 2949 02:21:17,320 --> 02:21:19,600 Speaker 3: last week when you watched the Green Bay package and 2950 02:21:19,600 --> 02:21:21,920 Speaker 3: how they had success defending them and how they had 2951 02:21:21,959 --> 02:21:24,960 Speaker 3: the near dropped interceptions. You notice all those interceptions were 2952 02:21:24,959 --> 02:21:25,800 Speaker 3: inside the numbers. 2953 02:21:25,879 --> 02:21:26,119 Speaker 4: Yep. 2954 02:21:26,200 --> 02:21:29,360 Speaker 3: The Niners want to run ninety five percent of their 2955 02:21:29,440 --> 02:21:32,040 Speaker 3: routes breaking inside. 2956 02:21:31,520 --> 02:21:32,199 Speaker 1: Of the numbers. 2957 02:21:32,640 --> 02:21:36,000 Speaker 3: So as a defense, you have to sit inside and 2958 02:21:36,080 --> 02:21:38,560 Speaker 3: you have to go. I mean it's almost like a 2959 02:21:38,600 --> 02:21:42,440 Speaker 3: prolific base stealer still in second. I mean, when that 2960 02:21:42,480 --> 02:21:44,680 Speaker 3: person sits down, you got to pull the trigger. They 2961 02:21:44,720 --> 02:21:46,600 Speaker 3: have to go for it. They have to squat in 2962 02:21:46,640 --> 02:21:48,680 Speaker 3: the middle of the field. Force brought pridy to throw 2963 02:21:48,720 --> 02:21:51,800 Speaker 3: the ball outside the numbers. They don't have that really 2964 02:21:51,840 --> 02:21:53,920 Speaker 3: in their passing game. But you have to be aware 2965 02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:57,920 Speaker 3: everything is coming and breaking crossing routes at short, intermediate, 2966 02:21:58,000 --> 02:22:00,000 Speaker 3: and deep depth. You just got to make sure you 2967 02:22:00,200 --> 02:22:01,800 Speaker 3: take care of the middle of forest. Brock prey to 2968 02:22:01,800 --> 02:22:02,480 Speaker 3: throw it outside. 2969 02:22:02,600 --> 02:22:04,680 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was certainly the blueprint. Go back to that 2970 02:22:04,760 --> 02:22:09,280 Speaker 4: debacle against the Ravens. Everything was tipballs on that didn't 2971 02:22:09,360 --> 02:22:13,000 Speaker 4: land harmlessly because you know party pretty Going back to 2972 02:22:13,040 --> 02:22:16,680 Speaker 4: the earlier conversation, Bucky, he seems to get more acknowledgment 2973 02:22:16,800 --> 02:22:20,160 Speaker 4: for near misses than almost any quarterback I can remember. 2974 02:22:21,160 --> 02:22:24,880 Speaker 4: You know what. He was almost intercepted three times, like yeah, 2975 02:22:24,920 --> 02:22:28,000 Speaker 4: and today was almost Today you caught Captain Jack Sparrow. 2976 02:22:29,560 --> 02:22:30,040 Speaker 4: You didn't. 2977 02:22:31,920 --> 02:22:34,840 Speaker 1: I mean, there's something to that. Yeah, The near. 2978 02:22:34,680 --> 02:22:38,280 Speaker 3: Misses are there. It has to be a part of 2979 02:22:38,320 --> 02:22:41,680 Speaker 3: the equation. Man, make them throw it outside. This game 2980 02:22:41,760 --> 02:22:45,039 Speaker 3: is about forcing the opponent to play left handed, and 2981 02:22:45,120 --> 02:22:47,520 Speaker 3: you have to do what if you can to make 2982 02:22:47,560 --> 02:22:50,000 Speaker 3: them play to their weakness. So for the Niners, playing 2983 02:22:50,040 --> 02:22:52,600 Speaker 3: to the weakness would be make them throw the ball 2984 02:22:52,640 --> 02:22:55,760 Speaker 3: outside the numbers. Don't let them have it in there. 2985 02:22:54,640 --> 02:22:56,600 Speaker 1: There there's sweet. 2986 02:22:56,360 --> 02:23:01,039 Speaker 4: Spots, Fox Sports Radios, Fox Football Sunday, He's Brooks at 2987 02:23:01,080 --> 02:23:04,000 Speaker 4: Bucky Brooks where you find him on Twitter at Big 2988 02:23:04,040 --> 02:23:07,760 Speaker 4: Play Football.

He gets one of his favorite weapons 3074 02:27:35,560 --> 02:27:39,400 Speaker 4: back in Mark Andrews. But I go back to a 3075 02:27:39,440 --> 02:27:43,280 Speaker 4: conversation we had last week and again bringing in the 3076 02:27:43,360 --> 02:27:46,600 Speaker 4: full wrestling parlance, the old to beat be the man, 3077 02:27:46,640 --> 02:27:49,959 Speaker 4: you gotta beat the man thing. Why am I uneasy 3078 02:27:50,040 --> 02:27:52,480 Speaker 4: making any pick in this game because of the presence 3079 02:27:52,480 --> 02:27:56,120 Speaker 4: of Mahomes, Reid and those Kansas City Chiefs, particularly if 3080 02:27:56,120 --> 02:27:59,760 Speaker 4: Travis Kelcey, whatever he's got left, he's sure left it 3081 02:27:59,800 --> 02:28:01,040 Speaker 4: on the field last week. 3082 02:28:02,360 --> 02:28:02,560 Speaker 1: Yeah. 3083 02:28:02,640 --> 02:28:05,680 Speaker 3: I mean, look, I think that's the big thing. Because 3084 02:28:05,680 --> 02:28:09,400 Speaker 3: they're a defending champ. You know, you want to give 3085 02:28:09,440 --> 02:28:12,400 Speaker 3: them their proper due when it comes to respect. You 3086 02:28:12,440 --> 02:28:16,680 Speaker 3: want to make sure that everyone appreciates what they've done 3087 02:28:16,760 --> 02:28:20,560 Speaker 3: for so long. And everyone knows that we have seen 3088 02:28:20,800 --> 02:28:26,680 Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes do this time and time again. And I'll 3089 02:28:26,680 --> 02:28:28,840 Speaker 3: say this man, he's going to the gunfight with a 3090 02:28:28,879 --> 02:28:31,600 Speaker 3: butter knife. He doesn't have the weapons to match up 3091 02:28:31,640 --> 02:28:33,760 Speaker 3: with the Baltimore Ravens. He doesn't have the same wide 3092 02:28:33,800 --> 02:28:36,080 Speaker 3: receiver corps, doesn't have the running game as that Pacheco. 3093 02:28:36,480 --> 02:28:39,160 Speaker 3: It's hurt so for him to pull this off, he's 3094 02:28:39,200 --> 02:28:42,119 Speaker 3: gonna have to be look Clint Eastwood in the old 3095 02:28:42,160 --> 02:28:45,119 Speaker 3: Western movie having to shoot up everybody in the saloon. 3096 02:28:45,400 --> 02:28:47,720 Speaker 3: He's going to have to do he's going to have 3097 02:28:47,760 --> 02:28:50,480 Speaker 3: to do some some mystical magical stuff to be able 3098 02:28:50,520 --> 02:28:51,000 Speaker 3: to pull this off. 3099 02:28:51,080 --> 02:28:52,600 Speaker 4: Well, let me ask you this though. As I was 3100 02:28:52,680 --> 02:28:55,320 Speaker 4: driving in, I heard you and Andy and you were 3101 02:28:55,320 --> 02:28:57,760 Speaker 4: talking about, Hey, if we did this the old playground 3102 02:28:57,760 --> 02:29:00,720 Speaker 4: pickup game, you know it's been done on the Simpsons, 3103 02:29:00,760 --> 02:29:03,680 Speaker 4: and all the baseball players walk up on the sandlot, 3104 02:29:03,840 --> 02:29:07,040 Speaker 4: I'll take Wade Boggs, I'll take jose Canseco. I've got 3105 02:29:07,040 --> 02:29:10,879 Speaker 4: Millhouse and I've got Ralph that kind of thing. But 3106 02:29:11,000 --> 02:29:13,840 Speaker 4: if we were to going, you know, Mahomes on one 3107 02:29:13,879 --> 02:29:17,720 Speaker 4: side and Lamar and they're the captains. The first two 3108 02:29:17,760 --> 02:29:20,560 Speaker 4: picks at like wide receiver tight end are coming off 3109 02:29:20,600 --> 02:29:26,440 Speaker 4: Kansas City, though, aren't they. You're taking Rice over Flowers. 3110 02:29:26,520 --> 02:29:27,320 Speaker 4: You're taking Rice. 3111 02:29:27,560 --> 02:29:29,519 Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I'm not taking I'm taking Flowers. 3112 02:29:29,240 --> 02:29:30,720 Speaker 4: Over Are you taking Flowers over Rice? 3113 02:29:31,040 --> 02:29:32,520 Speaker 1: I'm taking Flowers over Rice? Rice. 3114 02:29:32,640 --> 02:29:34,600 Speaker 3: Rice has too many dress I think Flowers is a 3115 02:29:34,680 --> 02:29:38,480 Speaker 3: much better player. Travis kelce Like, I respect Travis Kelcey 3116 02:29:38,520 --> 02:29:40,520 Speaker 3: in terms of what he has been. He hasn't been 3117 02:29:40,520 --> 02:29:42,840 Speaker 3: great this year. A lot of drops from that wide 3118 02:29:42,879 --> 02:29:45,160 Speaker 3: receiver corps. I would say you can take him one 3119 02:29:45,800 --> 02:29:47,080 Speaker 3: but then I would take. 3120 02:29:47,080 --> 02:29:48,800 Speaker 4: You'll take Flowers over him. 3121 02:29:49,200 --> 02:29:50,640 Speaker 1: I would take Flowers over Rice. 3122 02:29:51,200 --> 02:29:54,600 Speaker 3: And then I think you're kind of pushing because and 3123 02:29:54,840 --> 02:29:58,000 Speaker 3: maybe Rice does deserve the bump over the reputation of 3124 02:29:58,120 --> 02:30:01,760 Speaker 3: OBJ because the reputation is better than what the reality 3125 02:30:01,840 --> 02:30:05,120 Speaker 3: has suggested. But maybe it's a bit of a maybe 3126 02:30:05,160 --> 02:30:07,240 Speaker 3: it's a bit of a push there wide receiver. 3127 02:30:07,480 --> 02:30:09,440 Speaker 4: Yeah, I was just kind of thinking the second half 3128 02:30:09,480 --> 02:30:11,920 Speaker 4: for she Rice, that's come on. Look, forty four drops 3129 02:30:11,920 --> 02:30:15,879 Speaker 4: as a unit certainly problematic, and Kelsey's had his share 3130 02:30:15,920 --> 02:30:20,200 Speaker 4: of those. But playoff, Kelsey seems to be a different guy. 3131 02:30:20,480 --> 02:30:23,320 Speaker 3: He has been a different guy, and he played really 3132 02:30:23,320 --> 02:30:25,680 Speaker 3: well against the Buffalo Bills. The Buffalo Bills dropped coverage, 3133 02:30:25,720 --> 02:30:28,119 Speaker 3: but he played really well against him. And that bowls 3134 02:30:28,120 --> 02:30:33,520 Speaker 3: well for the chemistry between the quarterback and the tight end, 3135 02:30:33,560 --> 02:30:36,400 Speaker 3: and that's gonna be necessary. I would say this, Travis 3136 02:30:36,520 --> 02:30:38,640 Speaker 3: Kelce is going to have to turn back the clock 3137 02:30:39,240 --> 02:30:41,920 Speaker 3: today for this team to get a win. He needs 3138 02:30:41,959 --> 02:30:46,080 Speaker 3: to be close to the century mark for this game 3139 02:30:46,120 --> 02:30:48,160 Speaker 3: to be going the way they need it because I 3140 02:30:48,240 --> 02:30:50,640 Speaker 3: look Pacheco, He's not gonna be able to go if 3141 02:30:50,640 --> 02:30:53,000 Speaker 3: he has that little GUMPI ankle. They're gonna make sure 3142 02:30:53,000 --> 02:30:55,160 Speaker 3: that they stuff to run. They want Pat Mahomes to 3143 02:30:55,200 --> 02:30:58,160 Speaker 3: throw it. I believe the Ravens feel like they can 3144 02:30:58,160 --> 02:31:01,560 Speaker 3: cover their whiteoutse and so that may be the difference, 3145 02:31:01,560 --> 02:31:03,480 Speaker 3: but Kanzay probably feels the same way about being able 3146 02:31:03,480 --> 02:31:04,080 Speaker 3: to cover to Ravens. 3147 02:31:04,160 --> 02:31:05,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna guess we're not seeing a lot of 3148 02:31:05,720 --> 02:31:09,959 Speaker 4: Nicole Hartman Hardman and uh big possessions again. 3149 02:31:10,959 --> 02:31:13,199 Speaker 3: Nah, I think I think that was done. I think look, 3150 02:31:13,480 --> 02:31:15,680 Speaker 3: I think all that stuff is cute and. 3151 02:31:15,600 --> 02:31:21,080 Speaker 1: It looks great when it works. But after he fumbled twice, Yeah, 3152 02:31:21,200 --> 02:31:22,200 Speaker 1: I don't know. 3153 02:31:22,320 --> 02:31:24,720 Speaker 3: I don't I don't know if he uh has tough 3154 02:31:24,800 --> 02:31:28,080 Speaker 3: to uh yeah, I don't know if you could get 3155 02:31:28,080 --> 02:31:28,600 Speaker 3: another chance. 3156 02:31:28,680 --> 02:31:33,199 Speaker 4: Yeah, no, Cadarius Tony, everybody making those jokes across the interwebs. 3157 02:31:33,200 --> 02:31:33,560 Speaker 4: We will. 3158 02:31:33,640 --> 02:31:36,640 Speaker 1: So here's the thing about Kadarius Tony. I was reading 3159 02:31:37,000 --> 02:31:38,200 Speaker 1: maybe had the birth of his daughter. 3160 02:31:38,520 --> 02:31:39,959 Speaker 4: He did add the birth of a kid, so he's 3161 02:31:40,000 --> 02:31:43,400 Speaker 4: had an injury. But then they added the personal reasons, 3162 02:31:43,400 --> 02:31:45,360 Speaker 4: and the personal reasons was a birth of a child. 3163 02:31:46,120 --> 02:31:47,680 Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see. 3164 02:31:47,720 --> 02:31:50,039 Speaker 4: So yeah, that so it's it's trying to find that 3165 02:31:50,160 --> 02:31:53,520 Speaker 4: secondary option. But it's one of those games that you know, 3166 02:31:53,560 --> 02:31:56,720 Speaker 4: we went to pick it on Friday and look, not 3167 02:31:56,879 --> 02:32:01,120 Speaker 4: often that you're stumbling around and finding himnd Like, you 3168 02:32:01,120 --> 02:32:03,200 Speaker 4: can see this game going either way, because I don't 3169 02:32:03,200 --> 02:32:06,800 Speaker 4: bet against Malmes generally as much as I love what 3170 02:32:06,879 --> 02:32:09,920 Speaker 4: the Ravens have built on both sides of the ball. Right, 3171 02:32:10,200 --> 02:32:14,120 Speaker 4: you know, enough smash mouth and then Lamar's a guy again. 3172 02:32:14,320 --> 02:32:18,360 Speaker 4: You know, maybe before the Rock Purty conversation. He was 3173 02:32:18,400 --> 02:32:21,080 Speaker 4: there and everybody's just got a pin in it, waiting 3174 02:32:21,120 --> 02:32:24,279 Speaker 4: to add their next block of text on their WordPress 3175 02:32:24,360 --> 02:32:27,440 Speaker 4: document about how he can't win a big game or 3176 02:32:27,440 --> 02:32:30,400 Speaker 4: make a throw or whatever, as if they didn't watch 3177 02:32:30,440 --> 02:32:32,840 Speaker 4: it down of the evolution of the guy this year. 3178 02:32:34,440 --> 02:32:37,160 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny how they go sometimes, you know. 3179 02:32:38,000 --> 02:32:40,320 Speaker 4: Well, we watch, we like what we got, and we've 3180 02:32:40,360 --> 02:32:42,240 Speaker 4: got a hold on to narratives. Bucky. You know how 3181 02:32:42,280 --> 02:32:45,480 Speaker 4: that works here in media, no matter how many data 3182 02:32:45,520 --> 02:32:48,520 Speaker 4: points you get to the contrary. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm 3183 02:32:48,520 --> 02:32:52,119 Speaker 4: Mike carbon here, Fox Sports Radios, Fox Football Sunday coming 3184 02:32:52,120 --> 02:32:54,760 Speaker 4: out next. We turned back into the coaching carousel a bit. 3185 02:32:55,959 --> 02:32:59,160 Speaker 4: Two places still left to make hires. We talked a 3186 02:32:59,160 --> 02:33:02,440 Speaker 4: lot about Atlanta earlier. But how about my guy David Tepper. 3187 02:33:02,640 --> 02:33:04,840 Speaker 4: He got his man as well as some help in 3188 02:33:04,879 --> 02:33:09,039 Speaker 4: the front office from an old old member of that 3189 02:33:09,200 --> 02:33:13,240 Speaker 4: Carolina family. What's it mean for their turnaround? How quickly 3190 02:33:13,280 --> 02:33:14,960 Speaker 4: can they do it? We'll talk about it next here 3191 02:33:15,000 --> 02:33:20,680 Speaker 4: on Fox. Spirited conversations here around girlfriends and wives and 3192 02:33:20,879 --> 02:33:25,720 Speaker 4: shirtless brothers as we get ready for championship weekend. Here 3193 02:33:25,879 --> 02:33:28,520 Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio Championship Sunday coming up in about ten 3194 02:33:28,560 --> 02:33:31,920 Speaker 4: minutes from now, countdown to kick off.

Start looking ahead again. 3197 02:33:40,680 --> 02:33:44,400 Speaker 4: With the games dwindling, more and more of the prop 3198 02:33:44,440 --> 02:33:48,119 Speaker 4: action gets discussed. They'll give you the best on the lines, 3199 02:33:48,160 --> 02:33:50,480 Speaker 4: where the handle's going with their guests and everything they've 3200 02:33:50,520 --> 02:33:54,240 Speaker 4: got flowing great information as you get ready, even if 3201 02:33:54,400 --> 02:33:58,640 Speaker 4: just to win some bar bets around certain numbers related 3202 02:33:58,680 --> 02:34:01,600 Speaker 4: to the game and players get in on that. Countdown 3203 02:34:01,600 --> 02:34:04,680 Speaker 4: to kickoff coming up in ten minutes, we're Fox Football Sunday, 3204 02:34:04,720 --> 02:34:08,360 Speaker 4: Mike Garment alongside Bucky Brooks and Bucky the Panthers got 3205 02:34:08,400 --> 02:34:12,160 Speaker 4: their man, Dave Canallis comes over from Tampa. He's going 3206 02:34:12,240 --> 02:34:15,280 Speaker 4: to be the guy with the opportunity to go and 3207 02:34:15,320 --> 02:34:17,440 Speaker 4: make things happen with Bryce Young and then they add 3208 02:34:17,520 --> 02:34:22,080 Speaker 4: Dan Morgan back into the staff and we've seen some 3209 02:34:22,160 --> 02:34:25,680 Speaker 4: success former players like more and more of these opportunities 3210 02:34:25,720 --> 02:34:30,280 Speaker 4: and front office opportunities for Carolina and the job nobody wanted, 3211 02:34:31,440 --> 02:34:34,520 Speaker 4: or they told me nobody wanted. My argument was it 3212 02:34:34,560 --> 02:34:38,840 Speaker 4: was the great job. But canallis parlaying the reclamation project 3213 02:34:38,879 --> 02:34:41,199 Speaker 4: that was Baker Mayfield into a head coaching job. 3214 02:34:42,240 --> 02:34:44,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, kind of amazing that it's happened like that. But 3215 02:34:45,800 --> 02:34:49,400 Speaker 3: what we're seeing is synergy and connectivity is everything. And 3216 02:34:49,720 --> 02:34:54,480 Speaker 3: the Panthers paired Dan Morgan with one of the coaches 3217 02:34:54,520 --> 02:34:57,879 Speaker 3: that he was familiar with, Dave Canalis from Seattle, and 3218 02:34:57,959 --> 02:34:59,800 Speaker 3: now they hope they can kind of get it together. 3219 02:35:00,000 --> 02:35:01,800 Speaker 3: And now it's working on the quarterback and the team, 3220 02:35:02,160 --> 02:35:05,039 Speaker 3: Dan Morgan making sure he upgrades the roster and does that. 3221 02:35:05,760 --> 02:35:10,640 Speaker 3: It's unique because Morgan was there under Scott Fitterer, and somehow, 3222 02:35:12,040 --> 02:35:16,480 Speaker 3: you know, Tepper was able to see pass whatever mistakes 3223 02:35:16,520 --> 02:35:20,680 Speaker 3: took place under Fitterer and decide and determine that Dan 3224 02:35:20,760 --> 02:35:23,920 Speaker 3: Morgan was the right man to get this fanchise over 3225 02:35:24,000 --> 02:35:27,640 Speaker 3: the top. Difficult job, tough situation, but look, I'm happy 3226 02:35:27,640 --> 02:35:29,000 Speaker 3: for Dan. Dan was there when I was with the 3227 02:35:29,000 --> 02:35:31,240 Speaker 3: Carolina Panthers as a scout, helped us go to Super 3228 02:35:31,240 --> 02:35:34,920 Speaker 3: Bowl thirty eight. Great player, all time, great dude. So 3229 02:35:35,000 --> 02:35:37,039 Speaker 3: we'll see if he gets an opportunity, if he has 3230 02:35:37,480 --> 02:35:39,440 Speaker 3: the wherewithal to turn this around. 3231 02:35:39,520 --> 02:35:42,080 Speaker 4: Now, I referenced the shirtless brother that, of course being 3232 02:35:42,200 --> 02:35:46,840 Speaker 4: Jason Kelsey. All sorts of run last week, and for 3233 02:35:46,920 --> 02:35:50,760 Speaker 4: folks trying to bring out their stopwatches, go and compare 3234 02:35:51,600 --> 02:35:57,320 Speaker 4: how they display any of these friends, family, owners, whatever, 3235 02:35:57,360 --> 02:36:00,119 Speaker 4: and decide where you like that. You could build a 3236 02:36:00,160 --> 02:36:04,959 Speaker 4: giant chart of visuals for you along the way I did, 3237 02:36:05,000 --> 02:36:09,320 Speaker 4: like Kelsey's dad. Though, in all the retirement talk, Bucky's 3238 02:36:09,320 --> 02:36:12,680 Speaker 4: saying until he starts losing weight, I'm not buying it. 3239 02:36:13,640 --> 02:36:17,120 Speaker 1: M I can see that. I mean, I can see that, 3240 02:36:17,160 --> 02:36:17,640 Speaker 1: like he did. 3241 02:36:17,760 --> 02:36:20,199 Speaker 3: He looks like he's having a blast though, So either 3242 02:36:20,240 --> 02:36:23,960 Speaker 3: he is retired or he's just fully unwinding for the 3243 02:36:24,400 --> 02:36:27,280 Speaker 3: off season, going to Buffalo Bill's games and just kind 3244 02:36:27,280 --> 02:36:29,840 Speaker 3: of hanging out and you know, doing all the stuff 3245 02:36:29,879 --> 02:36:31,760 Speaker 3: that fans do. 3246 02:36:33,480 --> 02:36:35,760 Speaker 4: I mean, just the way that season ended. We talked 3247 02:36:35,760 --> 02:36:37,480 Speaker 4: about it a little bit earlier. Folks can get the 3248 02:36:37,520 --> 02:36:40,760 Speaker 4: podcast wherever you download your audio. Rate it, review it, 3249 02:36:41,400 --> 02:36:43,800 Speaker 4: give it five stars. I'll love you and walk coast 3250 02:36:43,840 --> 02:36:47,080 Speaker 4: to coast like I'm Forrest Gump at some point. But 3251 02:36:48,200 --> 02:36:51,160 Speaker 4: the way that season ended, that second half, and certainly 3252 02:36:51,200 --> 02:36:54,480 Speaker 4: the early exit, I gotta imagine, you know, hey, just 3253 02:36:54,760 --> 02:36:57,240 Speaker 4: get out of town for a few weeks has got 3254 02:36:57,240 --> 02:36:59,600 Speaker 4: to be the mo for most guys, especially the veteran 3255 02:36:59,640 --> 02:37:01,039 Speaker 4: players who've been to the mountain. 3256 02:37:03,080 --> 02:37:05,320 Speaker 3: I mean, some of that is, hey, man, let's let's go, 3257 02:37:05,400 --> 02:37:08,320 Speaker 3: let's get away, let's let's check out. Let's see if 3258 02:37:08,360 --> 02:37:11,320 Speaker 3: we can have some fun kind of relax and recharge 3259 02:37:11,360 --> 02:37:14,760 Speaker 3: and see if we can come back better. Look, we'll 3260 02:37:14,800 --> 02:37:18,200 Speaker 3: see if he does come back, But certainly no one 3261 02:37:18,280 --> 02:37:21,720 Speaker 3: is having a better begin or start today off season 3262 02:37:21,879 --> 02:37:22,520 Speaker 3: than Kelsey. 3263 02:37:22,600 --> 02:37:25,879 Speaker 4: What I found funny though, and you know, to bring 3264 02:37:25,920 --> 02:37:29,879 Speaker 4: it back, we talked about Sirianni and the situation of 3265 02:37:30,080 --> 02:37:34,240 Speaker 4: coordinators the end of Last Hour, but it seemed kind 3266 02:37:34,240 --> 02:37:36,520 Speaker 4: of curious to me that the only guys that really 3267 02:37:36,600 --> 02:37:39,880 Speaker 4: spoke up for him was one in battled aj Brown. 3268 02:37:39,920 --> 02:37:43,840 Speaker 4: Whatever that relationship is, but then Fletcher Cox and Jason Kelsey, 3269 02:37:43,879 --> 02:37:46,560 Speaker 4: two guys that are presumed to not be there in 3270 02:37:46,640 --> 02:37:50,920 Speaker 4: twenty twenty four. Whether that's the case or not, regardless, 3271 02:37:51,120 --> 02:37:53,720 Speaker 4: it just was curious when we had that week and 3272 02:37:53,720 --> 02:37:55,320 Speaker 4: a half. You don't normally go a week and a 3273 02:37:55,320 --> 02:37:57,840 Speaker 4: half before you meet with the media at the end 3274 02:37:57,879 --> 02:37:59,840 Speaker 4: of the season to kind of put a bow on things. 3275 02:38:00,640 --> 02:38:02,600 Speaker 4: Very curious to no No. 3276 02:38:03,040 --> 02:38:05,000 Speaker 3: I think it was a situation where they were trying 3277 02:38:05,040 --> 02:38:06,920 Speaker 3: to figure it all out. Nick Sirianna had to come 3278 02:38:07,000 --> 02:38:09,720 Speaker 3: up with a plan to ownership to explain away how 3279 02:38:09,720 --> 02:38:11,000 Speaker 3: this team fell apart at. 3280 02:38:10,879 --> 02:38:11,600 Speaker 1: The end of the year. 3281 02:38:12,160 --> 02:38:16,039 Speaker 3: I will say, Man, a lot of change and a 3282 02:38:16,040 --> 02:38:19,160 Speaker 3: lot of change and coordinators, a lot of just revolving doors. 3283 02:38:19,160 --> 02:38:21,920 Speaker 3: Hard to have a level of success, man, when you 3284 02:38:22,000 --> 02:38:23,320 Speaker 3: have so many moving parts. 3285 02:38:24,280 --> 02:38:25,520 Speaker 1: We'll see if they can put it together. 3286 02:38:25,600 --> 02:38:27,520 Speaker 3: Vic Fangiol obviously is one of the best coaches that 3287 02:38:27,560 --> 02:38:30,200 Speaker 3: we've talked about in our game. Kellen Moore has had 3288 02:38:30,240 --> 02:38:33,480 Speaker 3: great moments during his time as a play caller, just 3289 02:38:33,520 --> 02:38:35,920 Speaker 3: piecing it together. Because the pressure on this team will 3290 02:38:35,959 --> 02:38:38,600 Speaker 3: be immense and Nick Sirianna getting the mandate to be 3291 02:38:38,680 --> 02:38:43,320 Speaker 3: the CEO type, can he become the CEO type where 3292 02:38:43,320 --> 02:38:46,480 Speaker 3: he's running around and managing the entire operation after being 3293 02:38:46,520 --> 02:38:47,879 Speaker 3: so heavily involved in offense. 3294 02:38:49,400 --> 02:38:51,039 Speaker 1: He just said, then done, We'll see if he can 3295 02:38:51,040 --> 02:38:51,480 Speaker 1: execute you. 3296 02:38:51,480 --> 02:38:54,120 Speaker 4: What's the curiosity because I kept waiting for Bill Belichick 3297 02:38:54,200 --> 02:38:58,480 Speaker 4: to storm the castle there as things were torn as under, 3298 02:38:58,520 --> 02:39:01,760 Speaker 4: seem like that would be the place. But you know, 3299 02:39:01,879 --> 02:39:04,720 Speaker 4: mentioning the change of coordinator. You know, we were talking 3300 02:39:04,760 --> 02:39:06,920 Speaker 4: a lot about San Francisco, go back to the Alex 3301 02:39:06,959 --> 02:39:10,080 Speaker 4: Smith time. If they hadn't changed coordinators every year, how 3302 02:39:10,160 --> 02:39:14,400 Speaker 4: much more could they have accelerated his life once he 3303 02:39:14,480 --> 02:39:17,480 Speaker 4: actually found some stability, ended up being a pretty solid 3304 02:39:18,240 --> 02:39:20,720 Speaker 4: above average starter for a number of years. So for 3305 02:39:20,840 --> 02:39:22,840 Speaker 4: Jalen Hurts, you hope they find that stability. 3306 02:39:23,840 --> 02:39:25,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, you wondered because there was a reason why you 3307 02:39:25,879 --> 02:39:28,320 Speaker 3: paid him, and you paid him because you looked like 3308 02:39:28,360 --> 02:39:31,720 Speaker 3: a star and a certain offense. Now you've completely deviating, 3309 02:39:31,800 --> 02:39:34,640 Speaker 3: gone away from that offense. How much does that impact 3310 02:39:34,680 --> 02:39:35,119 Speaker 3: the player? 3311 02:39:35,400 --> 02:39:37,039 Speaker 1: To check? Then, look, the check. 3312 02:39:36,920 --> 02:39:39,320 Speaker 3: Won't bounce, The check is going direct deposits. So you 3313 02:39:39,400 --> 02:39:41,520 Speaker 3: want him to play at that level. We'll see if 3314 02:39:41,520 --> 02:39:43,160 Speaker 3: the system helps him get back to that level. 3315 02:39:43,280 --> 02:39:45,480 Speaker 4: All right, All these guys are gonna play. We're gonna 3316 02:39:45,520 --> 02:39:48,360 Speaker 4: see Pachecko, We're gonna see Marlon Humphrey. How's that AFC 3317 02:39:48,400 --> 02:39:49,200 Speaker 4: Title game end? 3318 02:39:50,400 --> 02:39:53,640 Speaker 3: I think it's the Baltimore Ravens they take it. I'm 3319 02:39:53,640 --> 02:39:55,320 Speaker 3: gonna say they win by ten and then I think 3320 02:39:55,360 --> 02:39:56,480 Speaker 3: the Lions fall short. 3321 02:39:56,480 --> 02:39:58,560 Speaker 1: The Niners, Niners, Ravens Super Bowl. 3322 02:39:58,959 --> 02:40:01,320 Speaker 4: Now he's Baki, I'll buy. The countdown is next here 3323 02:40:01,360 --> 02:40:02,480 Speaker 4: on Fox Sports Radio
