I mean, guys would 183 00:09:44,160 --> 00:09:45,920 Speaker 1: get out of the way.

Yeah, he just goes in and they 239 00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: played pink houses before the game. Yeah, but the problem 240 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:49,800 Speaker 1: is if he shows up, you might not get it 241 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,679 Speaker 1: off on time because he likes to fight with guys 242 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: about when they start going back at him for political purposes. 243 00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,960 Speaker 1: So I mean that might delay the start of the game. 244 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: What want you you say? He's got an interstate running 245 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:04,160 Speaker 1: through his front yard.

But we are getting set for 284 00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,560 Speaker 1: a huge Thursday night football game, the big rematch between 285 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,040 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Seahawks. Again for my money to 286 00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,080 Speaker 1: best teams in the NFL. Though, the Seahawks really did 287 00:15:13,280 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: let me down a bit with that lack of an 288 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,240 Speaker 1: effort against the Colts last week. Maybe they thought, well, 289 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:18,880 Speaker 1: Philip Rivers hasn't practice, we don't have. 290 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:22,680 Speaker 4: To practice, succeed and proceed, look ahead game, all of 291 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:25,400 Speaker 4: those things. The only thing they didn't do was treat 292 00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,680 Speaker 4: their backers to licking bills. 293 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:30,840 Speaker 1: So Manzie Belang has have talked about this tonight and 294 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,640 Speaker 1: the updates that the Rams have had trouble traveling to 295 00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:39,360 Speaker 1: Seattle for the game tonight. It doesn't matter DeVante Adams doubtful. 296 00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: That means he's not gonna play, doesn't matter. This is 297 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 1: about the Rams defense and again top three defense in 298 00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: the NFL Seahawks top four, top five defense in the 299 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: NFL as well. Right, we talk about the Texans and 300 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:56,960 Speaker 1: the Broncos and the Rams and the Chargers in the Seahawks, Right, 301 00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: there's your best five right there. And I have way 302 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 1: more confidence that the Rams are gonna do to Sam 303 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:05,920 Speaker 1: Donald again what they did to him last time, which 304 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: was four picks, and make Sam Donald look like the 305 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,280 Speaker 1: old Sam Darnald when he quarterback Carolina and the Jets. 306 00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 1: He looks downfield, I don't know what I see. I'm 307 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 1: just gonna throw it up there. Right, certain defenses, the 308 00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,440 Speaker 1: best defenses, Donald still struggles with a little bit. Right, 309 00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: we've seen Darnald has come a long way, right, franchise quarterback, 310 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,680 Speaker 1: big contract, he's got it. But either I believe in 311 00:16:25,720 --> 00:16:27,520 Speaker 1: the Rams as the number one team in the NFL, 312 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:30,600 Speaker 1: or I don't their defense will travel well for this game. 313 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:34,320 Speaker 1: It's a little more concern about the Seahawks now getting 314 00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: into the end the end of the season. Maybe they're 315 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: running out of gas a little bit. It's a short 316 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 1: week for them, especially coming off this game against the 317 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,320 Speaker 1: Colts where Philip Rivers almost beat them. But yeah, they'll 318 00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:47,760 Speaker 1: make it more, make it more difficult for the Rams. 319 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: I'm loving the under in this game. I'm not thinking 320 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:51,520 Speaker 1: the Rams are gonna put up a ton of points. 321 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:54,600 Speaker 1: But overall, when when I look at this, I go, yeah, 322 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,840 Speaker 1: the defense will make enough plays, they will get the turnovers. 323 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,880 Speaker 1: Even though Jackson Smith and jigg But is still going 324 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:01,840 Speaker 1: to have a big day, still going to go eight 325 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 1: for one hundred and sixty five in a touchdown because 326 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:06,000 Speaker 1: that's how good the guy. Guy's the best receiver in 327 00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: the NFL. But it's not going to be enough. And 328 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:13,320 Speaker 1: the Rams with another hard fought Thursday Night victory, something 329 00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:16,640 Speaker 1: to the tune of seventeen to ten, twenty to ten, 330 00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: twenty to thirteen, they get a big turnover at the end, 331 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,720 Speaker 1: hold on to the football, and the Rams come out 332 00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,640 Speaker 1: of with the win. And I'll take the under. Receiving 333 00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,879 Speaker 1: yards over under for JSN is eighty nine and a 334 00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:31,240 Speaker 1: half forty two is your total Seahawks and narrow one 335 00:17:31,240 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: and a half point favorite at home. 336 00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 4: Talk about the travel issues. That's all final good. The 337 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,080 Speaker 4: fact that DeVante Adams is not going to be able 338 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:41,199 Speaker 4: to go pretty big, and you go back to that 339 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:47,440 Speaker 4: twenty one nineteen game at home at so far that 340 00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:51,160 Speaker 4: the Rams barely escaped. Even with all the great work 341 00:17:51,240 --> 00:17:54,760 Speaker 4: against Sam Darnold and the four picks. Matthew Stafford was 342 00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:59,200 Speaker 4: a jag that day, fifteen to twenty eight, one hundred 343 00:17:59,240 --> 00:18:03,280 Speaker 4: and thirty yards and two touchdowns. Nikua went for seven 344 00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:06,640 Speaker 4: and seventy five. Otherwise you had a lot of one 345 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:09,480 Speaker 4: catch wonders in this one. I'm gonna take the Seattle 346 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,560 Speaker 4: defense and the kicking game to get it done. Low scoring, 347 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,600 Speaker 4: I think as it goes through. But Jason Myers had 348 00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:19,880 Speaker 4: that fifty six yarder to best the Colts. He's big 349 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:22,320 Speaker 4: in this one. I'll still take the under. I still 350 00:18:22,320 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 4: think you're there, like a twenty four to fourteen kind 351 00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 4: of game. How many field goals for Jason Myers is seven? 352 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:29,080 Speaker 4: Does he get seven this week? 353 00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:32,240 Speaker 1: Eight? Eight? We go full eight field? Why do we 354 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:32,880 Speaker 1: go full eight? 355 00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 4: The Rams do all they can to keep the Seahawks 356 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 4: out of the end zone, and we see if he's 357 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:40,600 Speaker 4: got anything left in his leg. It's like you know, 358 00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,200 Speaker 4: when you're doing free kicks in soccer or corner kicks. 359 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:46,080 Speaker 4: By the end of the second half, you might have 360 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,520 Speaker 4: you might have to go to the other leg. So 361 00:18:47,560 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 4: we'll see if Myers can kick with his left before 362 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:50,159 Speaker 4: it's done. 363 00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: So there it is. TNFL A full breakdown tomorrow. Jake 364 00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,720 Speaker 1: Glazer will join us after the game tomorrow night. Remember 365 00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,240 Speaker 1: the only show Jay joins on Fox Sports Radio is OURDS. 366 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 1: It's always a must listen. Great game tomorrow night with 367 00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,919 Speaker 1: the Rams and the Seahawks. Meanwhile, who you're not going 368 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: to be seeing I feel like Dan Patrick on Sports Center, 369 00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:08,640 Speaker 1: the people you won't be seeing in this highlight. Who 370 00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,240 Speaker 1: you're not going to be seeing playing quarterback this week 371 00:19:11,640 --> 00:19:14,280 Speaker 1: is to a tongue of iloa. The decision made today 372 00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 1: the quinnviewers out of Texas is going to start for 373 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: the Dolphins. We talked about it Monday night after the game. 374 00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:25,200 Speaker 1: Look again, when things happen on a Monday night, it's 375 00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:27,840 Speaker 1: three times the effect it has as if you've seen 376 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: something happen on a Sunday at one o'clock in the afternoon. 377 00:19:31,040 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: The whole world got to see Tua on Monday night. Struggle, 378 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,439 Speaker 1: struggle in the elements, throwing the football, bad habits resurfacing, 379 00:19:38,880 --> 00:19:41,160 Speaker 1: and I really think it came down to the fourth quarter. 380 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,439 Speaker 1: A lot of decisions that he made, a lot of 381 00:19:43,440 --> 00:19:46,600 Speaker 1: decisions the team made. Are they going hurry up? They're not, 382 00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,920 Speaker 1: then they're hurrying up. It was just it was just 383 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,439 Speaker 1: awkward all the way around. And we talked about it 384 00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:53,879 Speaker 1: Monday night. How many more Decembers do the Dolphins have 385 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: to go in saying, well, we have to win despite 386 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:58,720 Speaker 1: our quarterback. We got to work around two who can't 387 00:19:58,760 --> 00:20:00,879 Speaker 1: make the throws his arms and strong enough. So when 388 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: you're playing in inclement weather like this, you have to 389 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,240 Speaker 1: worry about that, and the fact that he does still 390 00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:08,040 Speaker 1: have all these bad habits. He's been in the league 391 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 1: a long time, so I said, this is gonna be it. 392 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,479 Speaker 1: This is last year in Miami. Well, yesterday it was 393 00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:17,800 Speaker 1: Mike McDaniel who said, I'm looking at everything, evaluating everything. 394 00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:19,719 Speaker 1: Who's going to start this week? And today the decision 395 00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,520 Speaker 1: was made. Tua is out and Quinn viewers is in. 396 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,160 Speaker 1: Is this the only out of stages of grief. 397 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 4: Like just day to day that they had to go 398 00:20:29,080 --> 00:20:31,439 Speaker 4: through all the different levels and they got through them. 399 00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:33,960 Speaker 1: No, I think that. Well, I think Dolphins fans have 400 00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: hit acceptance right away that they had to move on 401 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: from Tua. I think they were there like a year 402 00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:40,400 Speaker 1: ago on acceptance. No, I've accepted this a long time. 403 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: I'm ready for the next one. And I know guys 404 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 1: are read just a little bit of what else. Man, 405 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: I've accepted. I'm past grief. What's next? Man? Because I 406 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,400 Speaker 1: think I'm past it. We're on to Cincinnati. Let's go. 407 00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 1: But now there's there's three possibilities for what's next with Tua, right, 408 00:20:56,480 --> 00:21:00,080 Speaker 1: and and there's a new one tonight that seems really intriguing. 409 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 1: There's the because you know he's done, a guy doesn't 410 00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:06,479 Speaker 1: get benched and somehow gets his job back. I mean, 411 00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:09,159 Speaker 1: if Quinn Viewers gets injured or something happens, could he 412 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:12,840 Speaker 1: play there. Yeah, But when you bench your franchise quarterback, 413 00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,720 Speaker 1: he doesn't suddenly get that job back. You don't work 414 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:17,400 Speaker 1: with them in the off season. They get back, you're done, 415 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 1: you're moving on. It's a lot of money to swallow. 416 00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 1: So we know that to a tongue of Ailoa is 417 00:21:22,520 --> 00:21:25,800 Speaker 1: done with the Dolphins. Now there's three possibilities. The first 418 00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,960 Speaker 1: one we talked about last night that he gets Kirk 419 00:21:27,960 --> 00:21:31,080 Speaker 1: Cousins because his contract the next two years, it's a 420 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: ton of money. Two is a pro right, Kirk Cousins 421 00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: was a pro. He didn't want to stay, but he 422 00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 1: didn't want to give back the money, so the Falcons 423 00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 1: made the awkward decision to have him back up Michael 424 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 1: Pennick Junior, and they stuck with it. Man Like, the 425 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:47,360 Speaker 1: Falcons are never gonna admit they made a bad decision 426 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,280 Speaker 1: to sign Kirk Cousins and draft Michael Pennock Junior, even 427 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: though it was one of those moves fine, both of them. Bad. No, no, no, 428 00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:55,480 Speaker 1: we're gonna go. We're gonna go to the wall that 429 00:21:55,600 --> 00:21:58,600 Speaker 1: we did the right thing. It worked out okay from 430 00:21:58,640 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: the perspective of there wasn't a lot of a lot 431 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,520 Speaker 1: of messiness. Kirk Cousins wasn't causing drama behind the scenes. 432 00:22:05,840 --> 00:22:08,520 Speaker 1: It was Michael Pennox's job. He wasn't very good that 433 00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: he got hurt. Now, Kirk Cousins, a year removed from 434 00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:14,600 Speaker 1: his injury, is playing pretty well and maybe he's become 435 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: someone that a year from now is a bridge quarterback 436 00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,160 Speaker 1: someplace else. There's another team that's gonna take his money 437 00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:21,840 Speaker 1: for a year or two and say, hey, be our 438 00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:24,320 Speaker 1: bridge guy. You played your way that way. So that's 439 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,920 Speaker 1: good news for kirk Cousins, but the possibility is out 440 00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: there that Tua could get Kirk Cousins. He's a pro. 441 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 1: He's not someone that's gonna make waves. He's kind of 442 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: like a Russell Wilson, where he's always concerned about his 443 00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,879 Speaker 1: image and saying and doing the right things. He's someone 444 00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:39,800 Speaker 1: that I can see him. Okay, if we can't trade 445 00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 1: you and you don't want to take less money, you're 446 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 1: staying and you're backing up whoever is coming in, whether 447 00:22:44,359 --> 00:22:47,080 Speaker 1: it's quinn Ewers who catches fire or somebody we get 448 00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: in the draft. But he can come in being that 449 00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,800 Speaker 1: backup for at least the next season behind whoever the 450 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:54,960 Speaker 1: quarterback is. I can see that happening in Miami. Yeah. 451 00:22:55,000 --> 00:22:58,400 Speaker 4: I mean the fact that his contract is so onerous, right, 452 00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 4: there's just so much to it. When you're talking about 453 00:23:00,760 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 4: dead cat money and the different machines that have to 454 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,400 Speaker 4: go in order. 455 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,320 Speaker 1: To all of this. It's a all right, worst case scenario. 456 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: We have a young guy that that's quarterbacking, that isn't 457 00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:16,880 Speaker 1: making much money. We do the dollar cost averaging at 458 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:20,119 Speaker 1: the quarterback position because we're gonna get screwed by what 459 00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:22,880 Speaker 1: the cat number is anyway. I mean, you're talking minimum 460 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,760 Speaker 1: forty five million dollars of a dead cap hit, and 461 00:23:26,840 --> 00:23:29,840 Speaker 1: that's that's that's the best case scenario. 462 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 3: Man. 463 00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:33,360 Speaker 4: That is just that is just a bad, bad way 464 00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:35,640 Speaker 4: to be and you've seen it for six years. So 465 00:23:35,720 --> 00:23:39,480 Speaker 4: in terms of you know, finding some juice and seeing 466 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,960 Speaker 4: if you can't fix it, well, McDaniel's had him long enough, 467 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 4: so you're not suddenly going to find the magical elixir 468 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:47,080 Speaker 4: to make him a number one again. 469 00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:52,399 Speaker 1: So if that happens and he stays, that's possibility number one. 470 00:23:52,480 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: Number two. The trade we talked about last night for 471 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: different reasons, talking about money and moving on from problems 472 00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:02,679 Speaker 1: to a Kyler Murray works for both sides. Yes, the 473 00:24:02,680 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 1: Dolphins would be getting the better quarterback, but they're also 474 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: in for more money because Murray's contract goes an extra year. 475 00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: But when you have two problems and you have money 476 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,480 Speaker 1: that you're paying out, hey, maybe it works out in 477 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,879 Speaker 1: the desert for Tua in better weather and even the 478 00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,120 Speaker 1: away games are gonna be in better weather for him, 479 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 1: And maybe he fights it out with Jacoby Brissett and 480 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: it works because you're not paying Jacoby Brissett. But maybe 481 00:24:24,359 --> 00:24:27,000 Speaker 1: TWA comes wins the job and does well for the Dolphins. 482 00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:29,399 Speaker 1: You have a brand new quarterback and Kyler Murray. Maybe 483 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,240 Speaker 1: that works with Mike McDaniel, So that works on a 484 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: couple of levels. But let me throw this one at you, 485 00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:38,119 Speaker 1: because this is one that I really could see this happen, 486 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:42,760 Speaker 1: because this is exactly what this team does. I can see. 487 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 1: Money is a thing. But who's a team that in 488 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,679 Speaker 1: the last five years money hasn't seemed to matter to Again, 489 00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:52,520 Speaker 1: I can't die. I'm not a capologist. Well the dog, well, 490 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 1: the Dodgs just defer all that money. Man, that's fine. 491 00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:58,359 Speaker 1: This guy doesn't have enough of an arm crack the rotation. Though. 492 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: They gotta pay like two guys a billion dollars in 493 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:03,159 Speaker 1: like five years, like they're gonna have to sell the 494 00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:05,520 Speaker 1: team before they know that billies do. But did you 495 00:25:05,560 --> 00:25:09,400 Speaker 1: see the math, Like they've already made the money. Yeah, yeah, 496 00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:10,200 Speaker 1: like it's already there. 497 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:13,840 Speaker 4: It's already now just gaining interest in whatever they've put 498 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 4: it in in terms of real estate paintings in the 499 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,360 Speaker 4: open market, crypto. 500 00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:20,800 Speaker 1: I mean, whatever it is. You know, he got a 501 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:23,120 Speaker 1: lot of stuff. You still got to cut those big 502 00:25:23,160 --> 00:25:25,280 Speaker 1: checks though in a few years though, no, no, no, sure, 503 00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:29,719 Speaker 1: but it'll be good paying those out of the interest. So, uh, 504 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:34,960 Speaker 1: who is okay with spending all kinds of crazy money? 505 00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,280 Speaker 1: Again not a capology. I don't grown what every year, 506 00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:41,120 Speaker 1: but they do my bike Brown, Hey, he's got enough 507 00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 1: on his plate with Joe Burrow wanting out. Uh, they 508 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:47,720 Speaker 1: make trades for vets. They bring guys in for a 509 00:25:47,760 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: couple of years. When it doesn't work, they move on. 510 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 1: How about because you can always make the money work 511 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: whatever it's going to wind up being. There's always a 512 00:25:55,560 --> 00:25:58,800 Speaker 1: you know, an an f them pick situation. But it 513 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:02,159 Speaker 1: would be a typical Rams thing to do to go 514 00:26:02,280 --> 00:26:06,160 Speaker 1: out and get Tua to come in and with Sean McVeigh. 515 00:26:06,280 --> 00:26:08,960 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be under a better quarterback coach than 516 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 1: Sean McVay. Who is gonna say, okay, Matthew is the 517 00:26:12,440 --> 00:26:14,720 Speaker 1: guy now. And obviously Matthew Stafford's gonna be around for 518 00:26:14,760 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: another year. Guy's gonna win MVP this year, so he's 519 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:20,520 Speaker 1: not gonna walk away. So Matthew's gonna be around another year. Tua, 520 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: you are coming in and you are the heir apparent. 521 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:24,960 Speaker 1: We are turning the job over to you in a 522 00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:28,760 Speaker 1: year or two. Get comfortable in the system, get respect 523 00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:32,760 Speaker 1: to your teammates. Back here, take some time, decompress. Don't 524 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 1: have to worry about leading the team. You know, get 525 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:37,240 Speaker 1: back to the player that will work. You were. We'll 526 00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:39,640 Speaker 1: get you back to the player that you were, and 527 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:42,560 Speaker 1: you will take over when Matthew Stafford retires. Right again, 528 00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,240 Speaker 1: the money's the thing to figure out, But the Rams 529 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 1: always found a way to figure out money. Maybe it's 530 00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:48,520 Speaker 1: we'll give you a better draft pick, you pay the money. 531 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:50,640 Speaker 1: We'll give you a much better draft pick because we've 532 00:26:50,680 --> 00:26:52,639 Speaker 1: taken care of our next quarterback. We'll give you a 533 00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 1: first round pick for Tua and but you're paying the money. Okay, great, 534 00:26:56,600 --> 00:26:58,399 Speaker 1: we'll do it because our next quarterback is in the 535 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,840 Speaker 1: draft anyway, all right, we'll do that. There's ways to 536 00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:03,199 Speaker 1: make it happen. The Rams always seem to find a 537 00:27:03,240 --> 00:27:05,800 Speaker 1: way to make trades like this happen. So while the 538 00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 1: money is daunting, we never thought it would happen with 539 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,440 Speaker 1: Russell Wilson, never thought it would happen with Aaron Rodgers. 540 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,080 Speaker 1: Guess what had happened with both those guys. So I'll 541 00:27:13,119 --> 00:27:15,720 Speaker 1: take the Rams and it'd be a typical Sean McVeagh 542 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,240 Speaker 1: thing to do, because you know, all coaches. They have 543 00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:20,879 Speaker 1: the egos they want to be someone. Hey, he's a 544 00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:23,160 Speaker 1: project for me. I want to get I can get 545 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,080 Speaker 1: him back to be in the Pro Bowl quarterback that 546 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,359 Speaker 1: he was a couple of years ago. Yeah, come in 547 00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 1: wait and he takes over as our quarterback and he's 548 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: twenty eight, twenty nine years old. I feel pretty good 549 00:27:32,080 --> 00:27:33,960 Speaker 1: because you know, they brought in Stafford when he was 550 00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,720 Speaker 1: thirty three, thirty four, and Stafford thought he was done, 551 00:27:36,800 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: he was never gonna win a game with the Lions. 552 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:41,040 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, he shows up. Now he's won 553 00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:43,359 Speaker 1: a Super Bowl, he's gonna win the MVP. He's gonna 554 00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: get more money next year. Hey. It could also be 555 00:27:45,600 --> 00:27:48,239 Speaker 1: a big thing to Stafford saying, Hey, don't sit here 556 00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:51,399 Speaker 1: and waffle about wanting more money in the offseason like 557 00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:53,680 Speaker 1: you've done the last three years. We'll turn things over 558 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:56,239 Speaker 1: to Tua. But mainly it's gonna be Hey, we saw 559 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 1: it work with Stafford when he was in his in 560 00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,560 Speaker 1: the early thirties. It'll work with two the other side 561 00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:04,920 Speaker 1: of thirty exit out about a Fresca exit swollen dome. 562 00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:08,000 Speaker 1: Jason Smith Mike Harmon Live from the Fox Sports Radio 563 00:28:08,040 --> 00:28:10,359 Speaker 1: studios time how to find out what's trending in the 564 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: wide world of sports on Manci Milanos, who was spent 565 00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: tonight counting the banners hanging in the Intuit Dome.

This is a 704 00:35:27,800 --> 00:35:30,200 Speaker 1: huge story and I get why both sides wanted it. 705 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:32,560 Speaker 1: Right for us here at Fox, Wow, here's Doug and 706 00:35:32,800 --> 00:35:35,080 Speaker 1: he has been a national guy for the last twenty 707 00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:37,360 Speaker 1: some odd years and here he is now a coaching 708 00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 1: basketball Okay, hey, let's see how it goes. It helps 709 00:35:40,200 --> 00:35:43,000 Speaker 1: both of us. For Green Bay, for the Phoenix, I 710 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:46,800 Speaker 1: get it. If this was UCLA or Indiana or Michigan, 711 00:35:46,960 --> 00:35:48,959 Speaker 1: like they're gonna say, no, you're not hosting a show, 712 00:35:49,520 --> 00:35:53,080 Speaker 1: you're coaching college basketball with us. But for Green Bay, yeah, 713 00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:57,239 Speaker 1: it worked because, Yeah, Doug coming in, he's a big personality. 714 00:35:57,360 --> 00:36:00,399 Speaker 1: Everybody knows him. He's coming in. It helps Green Bay 715 00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,879 Speaker 1: with their visibility and their relevance, and people know Doug 716 00:36:04,000 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: coming in to recruit, so they're like Hey, let's see 717 00:36:06,600 --> 00:36:09,080 Speaker 1: how it goes, right, let's try it out work. And 718 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,560 Speaker 1: it was fascinating. Right now, the Green Bay is playing 719 00:36:11,600 --> 00:36:13,360 Speaker 1: really well. The last couple of weeks has got the 720 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:15,160 Speaker 1: record near five hundred one, like five out of their 721 00:36:15,200 --> 00:36:17,800 Speaker 1: last seven. I mean, Doug did throw a chair a 722 00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,680 Speaker 1: couple of games ago, which there was that. 723 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 4: Well, that was the one where he had the three 724 00:36:21,719 --> 00:36:25,040 Speaker 4: game winning streak and then down the stretch and you know, 725 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 4: as he said, some bad decisions whatever and the chair, 726 00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 4: and he addressed it all on the show. But you know, 727 00:36:31,440 --> 00:36:33,239 Speaker 4: he had a three game winning streak, and you look 728 00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:35,759 Speaker 4: at as you said, winners of five of seven and 729 00:36:36,080 --> 00:36:38,719 Speaker 4: really trending and playing good basketball. They've already won two 730 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:40,359 Speaker 4: more games than they did all last year. 731 00:36:41,200 --> 00:36:43,400 Speaker 1: I like how he said. I wasn't They said I 732 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:45,839 Speaker 1: threw a chair, and I'm listening, going, Oh, come on, Doug, 733 00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 1: he goes, I was simply moving the chair. I was moving. 734 00:36:48,280 --> 00:36:49,680 Speaker 1: I was just moving it out of the way. I 735 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 1: was I had to move a chair, so I moved 736 00:36:51,200 --> 00:36:52,759 Speaker 1: the chats all I moved the chair. I thought, Well, 737 00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:54,880 Speaker 1: like I said, you couldn't prove it was him, like 738 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:57,960 Speaker 1: he went down that tunnel. But you never actually saw him. 739 00:36:58,440 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: He just saw him go back and and you saw 740 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:03,080 Speaker 1: a chair. It was Doug Gottlieb cosplay night, and it 741 00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,279 Speaker 1: was someone dressed just like him who threw the chair. 742 00:37:06,239 --> 00:37:08,640 Speaker 1: But I'll say now what I said at the time, 743 00:37:08,960 --> 00:37:13,480 Speaker 1: and that's this that eventually, this decision of Doug having 744 00:37:13,560 --> 00:37:16,359 Speaker 1: to pick one to the other, this was inevitable, right 745 00:37:16,560 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: because stepping into this yet it's a situation that is great, 746 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 1: it works for both sides. Is it always gonna work 747 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,360 Speaker 1: for both sides? Right? Is it always going to be 748 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:28,080 Speaker 1: something not just from hey, is Fox gonna be happy? 749 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 1: And is Green Bay going to be happy? But is 750 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,440 Speaker 1: Doug gonna be happy? Right? Because you know, listen, you 751 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:35,480 Speaker 1: know Doug's couple of years younger than I am. You know, 752 00:37:35,600 --> 00:37:37,920 Speaker 1: neither of us are in our twenties, and the days 753 00:37:37,960 --> 00:37:41,319 Speaker 1: of waking up and having endless energy and being able 754 00:37:41,400 --> 00:37:43,239 Speaker 1: to balance family. You know what we have going on 755 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:46,920 Speaker 1: in our personal lives with professionally, that goes out the window. Right, 756 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:51,400 Speaker 1: You're talking about having two full jobs and trying to 757 00:37:51,480 --> 00:37:53,480 Speaker 1: navigate your family. He told a story about having his 758 00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,480 Speaker 1: kids in town and he had to he couldn't have 759 00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: dinner with them because he had to get out, you 760 00:37:57,480 --> 00:37:59,400 Speaker 1: had to go to a game, and it became a 761 00:37:59,440 --> 00:38:02,800 Speaker 1: point where it was just too much. And yeah, so 762 00:38:02,920 --> 00:38:04,840 Speaker 1: that that's why I said it's gonna be inevitable that 763 00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,560 Speaker 1: eventually you're gonna you're gonna get to a point where 764 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,800 Speaker 1: I can't do all of this anymore. Right, we understand 765 00:38:10,800 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 1: we're not as young as we used to be or 766 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:14,239 Speaker 1: whatever it is, or our energy is not there and 767 00:38:14,320 --> 00:38:16,160 Speaker 1: look to be as energetic on it like I get 768 00:38:16,239 --> 00:38:18,479 Speaker 1: it for the fay. I can do both and it's great, 769 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:21,479 Speaker 1: but when you go through the rigors of I gotta 770 00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: do my show, then I gotta travel that I got 771 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:25,719 Speaker 1: to come back and do my show. That when I 772 00:38:25,760 --> 00:38:28,239 Speaker 1: could use two hours to just be by myself, I 773 00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:29,960 Speaker 1: gotta be on because I got to bring it on 774 00:38:30,080 --> 00:38:33,520 Speaker 1: the radio for two hours and a podcast every day. 775 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:36,320 Speaker 1: Right after doing that for year and a half, I 776 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:39,080 Speaker 1: can see where it's, you know, this is a little 777 00:38:39,120 --> 00:38:41,600 Speaker 1: bit too much, and I, you know, for my own sanity, 778 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:44,480 Speaker 1: from my own energy, for my own you know situation, 779 00:38:45,239 --> 00:38:47,480 Speaker 1: I kind of have to pick one or the other. 780 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,279 Speaker 1: And you know, knowing Doug's he's done radio for so long, 781 00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:54,279 Speaker 1: Big Net, you know, TV radio forever. You know, he 782 00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:57,560 Speaker 1: loves doing it. But seeing him and talking to him 783 00:38:57,560 --> 00:39:00,759 Speaker 1: about coaching coaching lights him up, right, something that's new 784 00:39:00,840 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 1: to him now, coaching at this college level. He's coached 785 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,120 Speaker 1: youth sports for a long time. Look, I get it. 786 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:07,720 Speaker 1: Coaching lights me up. I love doing that. It was awesome, 787 00:39:07,719 --> 00:39:10,240 Speaker 1: the levels of you know, the different sports coaching. It's awesome, 788 00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 1: I understand. And it's still somewhat of a newer thing 789 00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: to him because here he is no no college coaching experience. 790 00:39:17,000 --> 00:39:19,719 Speaker 1: He jumps in. He's coaching you know, Green Wisconsin, Green Bay. 791 00:39:20,160 --> 00:39:22,600 Speaker 1: So I get choosing this. I get it's the thing 792 00:39:22,719 --> 00:39:24,560 Speaker 1: that he really wants to do, the itch he wants 793 00:39:24,560 --> 00:39:26,239 Speaker 1: to continue to scratch and wants to put all of 794 00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:29,279 Speaker 1: his energy into. So I get it. You know, I 795 00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:31,759 Speaker 1: just go back to the beginning that, Yeah, you knew 796 00:39:31,800 --> 00:39:33,399 Speaker 1: at some point he was going to have to make 797 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,000 Speaker 1: a choice, and he's doing it, and he's choosing Green Bay, 798 00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,880 Speaker 1: and it's the right call, choosing those kids that he recruited. 799 00:39:39,080 --> 00:39:40,680 Speaker 1: It's the right thing for Doug, and I wish him 800 00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 1: all the best and going forward. No, absolutely right, You're 801 00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:45,920 Speaker 1: burning the candle on both ends. And then trying to 802 00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:48,520 Speaker 1: light the middle of it. Something's got to give. So 803 00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:52,120 Speaker 1: even if your performance in terms of checking a box 804 00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:56,360 Speaker 1: is done, are you really able to do it to 805 00:39:56,520 --> 00:40:00,120 Speaker 1: your fullest? To your point about energy, also just what 806 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:03,200 Speaker 1: you're bringing in in terms of how you function, right, 807 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,640 Speaker 1: whether you become more irritable, And I'm not saying that 808 00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:07,560 Speaker 1: for Dog, I'm saying that in general. Right, if you're 809 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,799 Speaker 1: run down things. 810 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 4: That normally don't bother you, you know, you're a little 811 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 4: more sensitive to whatever else, and it starts to affect 812 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:15,840 Speaker 4: the people around you. 813 00:40:16,280 --> 00:40:18,479 Speaker 1: And I'm sure as he talked about with his kids, 814 00:40:18,560 --> 00:40:19,640 Speaker 1: it became you know. 815 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:22,560 Speaker 4: All right, now you realize where you're at, You got 816 00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:25,279 Speaker 4: a team that you're doing great things. And remember this 817 00:40:25,560 --> 00:40:29,799 Speaker 4: radio ain't going anywhere. Coaching jobs might exit out about 818 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,200 Speaker 4: a Fresca exit. Swallow Dove got a big story out 819 00:40:32,239 --> 00:40:33,239 Speaker 4: of the NFL next
