Speaker 2: Twitter handle a DP show and we'll get to phone calls.
Speaker 2: Coming up, best and worst of the weekend. Operator Tyler
Speaker 2: sitting by. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock. Thank
Speaker 2: you for downloading the app. And we say good morning
Speaker 2: to our radio affiliates numbering over four hundred cities that
Speaker 2: carry the program. From the crew that brought you the Office,
Speaker 2: comes a new comedy of under dogs with major issues.
Speaker 2: Sounds like US stream the paper. September fourth, only on Peacock.
Speaker 2: Seaton Recap Hour one, whole question results and what are
Speaker 2: we going with an hour or two?
Speaker 3: This is a controversial grouping of pull questions, Do you
Speaker 3: keep the numbers of people who have passed away on
Speaker 3: your phone?
Speaker 2: Right now?
Speaker 3: Seventy six percent of the audience say yes. And then
Speaker 3: the addition or addendum to that was, is texting the
Speaker 3: number of someone who has died to say hello a
Speaker 3: healthy thing to do?
Speaker 2: Okay? Right now?
Speaker 3: Seventy seven percent of the audience say no, Oh okay.
Speaker 2: So I'm I'm in the majority on the first one,
Speaker 2: in the minority of the second one. So yeah.
Speaker 3: I I don't like when when somebody I know dies,
Speaker 3: I don't even think of, oh, I should take their
Speaker 3: number out of my phone. I just it isn't even
Speaker 3: part of the thought process. Maybe occasionally you'll be looking
Speaker 3: for someone's phone number and that'll pop up or something,
Speaker 3: but I don't actively seek to remove it. But I
Speaker 3: also don't think let me keep it on here, though,
Speaker 3: because it's fun. Okay, But imagine this happening, because it did.
Speaker 3: I text somebody who had passed away and his son
Speaker 3: had the phone, and his son text me back. But
Speaker 3: I don't know that his son has the phone. I'm
Speaker 3: just saying, hey, Tom, thinking of you and whatever, get
Speaker 3: a message back, thanks, and then I find out later
Speaker 3: that he wasn't sure what to say back to me
Speaker 3: because he didn't want me to think like Tom's texting
Speaker 3: me from wherever, and so it was kind of awkward
Speaker 3: where you actually get a text message from somebody who's
Speaker 3: passed away their phone and it just said thanks.
Speaker 2: Could have been an emoji. I would have ciate a
Speaker 2: good emoji from somebody who's passed away. Stat of the
Speaker 2: day brought to you boy Pennini America, the official trading
Speaker 2: cards of this program. So Big Weekend College Football next weekend,
Speaker 2: NFL preseason is over and the cuts will be happening.
Speaker 2: They took place over the weekend as well. We'll talk
Speaker 2: to Chris Collinsworth as he gets ready for the Eagles
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys. Is he preparing for MICHAEH. Parsons to
Speaker 2: be preparing for the Eagles. So we'll talk to Chris.
Speaker 2: Coming up, what's the poll question? We're going with an
Speaker 2: hour two Seaton.
Speaker 3: Well, the commentary surrounding this one is great. Many people
Speaker 3: have suggested that Todd has surpassed his limit of words
Speaker 3: for Monday, and that maybe Todd should be shut down.
Speaker 2: You should be on a word count sometimes think you
Speaker 2: should be. Was that a lot of worth? Well, you
Speaker 2: took forever to really tell me what you really felt
Speaker 2: in that. It was kind of weird that I text
Speaker 2: my mom or text you know a couple people we're
Speaker 2: friends who passed away.
Speaker 4: I think I was working it out in my head
Speaker 4: as I was talking aloud. That was part of the problem.
Speaker 4: I didn't really kind of put it together and then
Speaker 4: present it as an argument. I was just kind of
Speaker 4: going with the flow.
Speaker 2: Why did you prepare.
Speaker 4: Like a statement out at least about my thoughts on
Speaker 4: a given topic.
Speaker 3: Have you ever heard of the phrase putting your foot
Speaker 3: in your mouth?
Speaker 2: Yeah? That was an example of it time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I probably put both feet in my mouth. Amazing
Speaker 4: how you could even understand any of the words with who?
Speaker 2: Probably unclear? I ask you, I think three times, I
Speaker 2: don't know what you're saying.
Speaker 4: Sometimes I'm not sure what, but I do think a
Speaker 4: psychologist or psychiagist might say you need to close the
Speaker 4: chapter on your friend or family member and it's okay,
Speaker 4: you're not like deleting them from your life and your memories, and.
Speaker 2: You okay, we're not doing this. We're not doing this.
Speaker 2: I I told you what I do like we are.
Speaker 2: I don't want you. I don't care what your opinion is, Dodd,
Speaker 2: you don't know I do not.
Speaker 5: No.
Speaker 2: Oh that that's insensitive, But not you criticizing me for
Speaker 2: being a strange guy. Yes see, we're now.
Speaker 3: Getting like posts from people on social media commenting on this, saying,
Speaker 3: like this person said, I have several voicemails from my
Speaker 3: dad semi colon miss your pop. So now that guy's
Speaker 3: reaching out to his dad through our Twitter, posting his
Speaker 3: toes that just in case Dad is scrolling the timeline,
Speaker 3: you never know.
Speaker 2: You never know what, Todd.
Speaker 4: I guess it's possible that some people you see it
Speaker 4: on daylight, like some people fake their death and maybe
Speaker 4: they're actually alive. And in your case, the Sun responded, no, no, no, no, no,
Speaker 4: no no no. Maybe he's a chance that some of
Speaker 4: these people are alive.
Speaker 2: My mom is dead.
Speaker 4: But in some cases someone could respond to I've been
Speaker 4: Tahiti hiding from everyone, and I couldn't take it anymore.
Speaker 4: I couldn't take my husband forever.
Speaker 2: Damn.
Speaker 4: This is between us. I'm still alive, but don't share
Speaker 4: this with any one.
Speaker 3: Other people are commenting about how you do realize that
Speaker 3: phone numbers are reassigned to new people who are now
Speaker 3: getting your text messages and probably just ignoring them. That's okay,
Speaker 3: not not you specifically, just in general people who do
Speaker 3: those kinds of things.
Speaker 6: All right.
Speaker 2: Uh, Tom and Ohio, Hi Tom, what's on your mind today?
Speaker 4: Dan? How are you?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 5: I'm great, first time, long time, six foot one, ninety
Speaker 5: Hey Dan, I just want to chime in. I did
Speaker 5: the same thing. I've got friends and family members and
Speaker 5: did it past and I keep their number in my
Speaker 5: phone because it's for me. It's a way of remembering
Speaker 5: them and a good or bad emotion or good or
Speaker 5: bad memory. It's it's just a way of memorializing and
Speaker 5: I love it. So you're not doing anything wrong in
Speaker 5: my in my book.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, Tom, I appreciate that. I feel better.
Speaker 2: Now take that, Todd, Oh.
Speaker 4: You care about Tom and Ohio's opinion. I'm working for
Speaker 4: twenty three years, he shut me down.
Speaker 2: Morgan in Maryland, Good morning, Morgan, Good morning VP.
Speaker 7: So I got Bess and work's the weekend. Best of
Speaker 7: the weekend. I'm actually a little further north than you
Speaker 7: guys in Barry, New Hampshire, at my friend's lake house
Speaker 7: for good about five days with the kids, just like
Speaker 7: paddle boarding and on the boat and morning coffee is
Speaker 7: on the dock. It's pretty sweet and I like it
Speaker 7: up here.
Speaker 2: Awesome worst weekend.
Speaker 7: It's kind of tied to that. My son has, you know,
Speaker 7: discovered that when he's outside he can kind of pee wherever.
Speaker 7: But he's when I say wherever, he's not going to
Speaker 7: like a bush or a tree. So yesterday morning he
Speaker 7: drops trow off of the dock and I'm saying, like,
Speaker 7: he drops trow and holds his shirt up. He's not
Speaker 7: holding anything. He just let it rain. And there must
Speaker 7: have been like a bass fishing tournament going on because
Speaker 7: we we're on like a no wake zone, and there
Speaker 7: must have been ten fifteen boats that just came out
Speaker 7: slowly going by and seeing my son just letting it
Speaker 7: rain off the doc and I'm just standing there with
Speaker 7: my coffee, like, hello, good morning.
Speaker 1: How old is he?
Speaker 8: Fo?
Speaker 2: Oh? Okay? Four? I thought if you're going to say's twelve,
Speaker 2: then maybe we have an issue there. But thank you Morgan.
Speaker 2: Enjoy the scenery there. Matt in South Bend, Hi, Matt,

Speaker 10: last question, I'd never heard last week anything get mentioned

Speaker 12: four national title. They really got a job at four
Speaker 12: nineteen ten. I don't recall, but it was pretty funny.
Speaker 2: It's still amazing the gene Chiswick won a national championship.

Speaker 12: Did you see the response by our buddy Scott Van
Speaker 12: Pelt he self claimed the twenty twenty Sports Emmy for
Speaker 12: Best Studios. Oh he did, Yes, and his show because

Speaker 2: not one. Part of the interruption is a half hour,
Speaker 2: not even that, it's like twenty two minutes.

Speaker 3: up for show. So he could get his, we could
Speaker 3: get ours.
Speaker 2: I'm fine with that. Yeah, because he's a good host.
Speaker 2: We're a great show.
Speaker 12: Yeah, pull or we could be co champions like Milgia
Speaker 12: attack in Colorado nineteen ninety.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I can't do that, can't do that. Didn't One
Speaker 2: year President Nixon declared Texas the national chance like the president.
Speaker 2: Uh could you see President Trump, you know, doing that.
Speaker 2: I saw where he is trying to get Roger Clemens
Speaker 2: in the Hall of Fame. Really he is, man, I
Speaker 2: think so just like Pete Rose. Yes, yeah, yes, pulling.
Speaker 12: So before the game it was Texas versus Arkansas in
Speaker 12: nineteen sixty nine, President Richard Nixon declared the winner of
Speaker 12: the game will be the national title holder. And Penn

Speaker 6: But anyway, just wanted to show that.
Speaker 2: Well, thank you, thank you, Mario. Of course that clears

Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, first alternate a few times too.
Speaker 2: Does that count?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, but that's when it throw it in.
Speaker 8: You know, it's pee cock. I can throw that in,
Speaker 8: you know.
Speaker 2: But it meant something back then to be a Pro Bowl.
Speaker 8: You know, the game was hard back then. I mean
Speaker 8: people got ripped. I mean, if you remember, there have
Speaker 8: been a few players just explosive, just kind of shots.
Speaker 8: But we were playing for real money back then. It
Speaker 8: was either if you won, you got ten grand, if
Speaker 8: you lost, you got five grand and you lost money
Speaker 8: on the week, So that was the deal. I mean
Speaker 8: you were playing.
Speaker 2: We were playing Chris and Company, Sunday Night Football. It'll
Speaker 2: be on Thursday Night next Thursday Night, Cowboys and the Eagles.
Speaker 2: And seventeen seasons as an analyst on the primetime Howard
Speaker 2: Cosell is second with fourteen seasons in primetime. I didn't
Speaker 2: know that.
Speaker 8: Well, that's a sure sign I'm getting old tale brother.
Speaker 2: Congratulations.
Speaker 8: I love Howard, though. Did you know him at all?
Speaker 8: Did you know Howard casselto.
Speaker 2: Late in his life. I met him a couple of times,
Speaker 2: and one was kind of a sad moment. He couldn't
Speaker 2: pour water, he couldn't pour his own water because he
Speaker 2: had Parkinson's. And the other one he yelled at me
Speaker 2: for being on the phone when the baseball strike ended.
Speaker 2: But it was this nineteen eighty four and I was
Speaker 2: doing a live report over the phone for CNN, and
Speaker 2: he yelled at me because it was the only phone
Speaker 2: that was available. And he came out and he kept trying.
Speaker 2: There were three other phones. They didn't work, and I said,
Speaker 2: you know, Howard, I'm really sorry, but I can go
Speaker 2: in this live report on CNN and he goes as
Speaker 2: if the whole world's watching CNN, and then he stormed away.
Speaker 2: Go on, I just I just met Howard go Sell.
Speaker 1: That was good.
Speaker 8: That was good. I had him at the Superstars and
Speaker 8: I'm in the swimming competition, which they forced you because
Speaker 8: they were a sponsor to wear speedos. So I'm next
Speaker 8: to Mark gastine both wearing so Carsell's going up and down,
Speaker 8: you know, doing this thing. Hey our gas and O
Speaker 8: blah blah blah blah blah. And so he comes to
Speaker 8: me next and he goes, well, mister Collins with what
Speaker 8: do you think? And I looked down at myself. I
Speaker 8: looked over at Gas and I looked down at myself,
Speaker 8: looked over at Gas, and I said, Howard, I've never
Speaker 8: felt so my entire life.
Speaker 4: And that was it.
Speaker 2: That was It was like the before and after. You
Speaker 2: were the before and gastineau.
Speaker 5: Before.
Speaker 8: It was not good.
Speaker 2: I opened the show talking about rookie quarterbacks and mistakes
Speaker 2: that they make. And in college you get the opportunity
Speaker 2: to extend to play. Receivers are open longer, hold on
Speaker 2: to the ball more. We saw this with Caleb Williams. Uh,
Speaker 2: you know obviously we saw it with Shador Sanders. But
Speaker 2: when you look at film, when you see rookie quarterbacks,
Speaker 2: what are the things that are really jump out that
Speaker 2: are negative?
Speaker 8: Hold the ball. I mean, Shadhur Sanders was a really
Speaker 8: good player in college football. When he got the ball
Speaker 8: out of his hands. You think, because he's Dion's son,
Speaker 8: that he's a run around guy, right, you would think
Speaker 8: in reality those were his worst place. When he got
Speaker 8: the ball and got it out of his hand and
Speaker 8: under two point five seconds, that guy could really play.
Speaker 8: I mean, it was really impressive. And so my whole
Speaker 8: thought on him is is he going to be able
Speaker 8: to take a step back and say, all right, I
Speaker 8: like to run around. I like to make plays out
Speaker 8: of the pocket. But in reality, that's when I was
Speaker 8: taking sacks. That's when I was turning the ball over.
Speaker 8: There were some good plays in there too, but at
Speaker 8: this level, you've got to get it out of your hand.
Speaker 8: And that's what we've seen Jackson Dart do. That's what
Speaker 8: we saw bo Nicks do last year. That's what we
Speaker 8: see the young quarterbacks that can come into this league
Speaker 8: and make an impact right away because those guys playing
Speaker 8: edge rushers in the NFL are the greatest athletes in
Speaker 8: the world. I mean, those guys are six six and
Speaker 8: two seventy and run four or five and man, don't
Speaker 8: mess with those guys.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and getting into a rhythm. And I thought Dylan
Speaker 2: Gabriel did a really good job. And I think he
Speaker 2: was programmed to do that in college, where I thought
Speaker 2: Shudor didn't have a good offensive line, did hold onto
Speaker 2: the ball a little too much, and oil's fails. He
Speaker 2: had Travis Hunter to bail him out. Now, you've got
Speaker 2: to get into that rhythm. How do you teach that though?
Speaker 2: With young quarterbacks?
Speaker 8: I mean I've seen everything. I've seen them blow a
Speaker 8: horn at two point five seconds. Like so, I've had
Speaker 8: kids even in high school that the idea of They
Speaker 8: all want to do the same thing. Usually, if you're
Speaker 8: playing quarterback in high school, you are the best athlete
Speaker 8: in the school. Right, So your entire life, you've played tag,
Speaker 8: you've played freeze tag, you've played all these different games. Right,
Speaker 8: nobody could catching You're the best athlete. So you get
Speaker 8: on the football field and what do you know how
Speaker 8: to do? All right, let me just run around. They
Speaker 8: can't catch me, and then I'll you know, make a play,
Speaker 8: and you watch Patrick Mahomes, and you watch Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 8: and you watch Josh Allen and those of the guys
Speaker 8: that are competing for the MVP of the league. So
Speaker 8: I want to be able to do that too. But
Speaker 8: in reality, if you hold on to it, all you're
Speaker 8: doing is inviting more pressure. If you get back there
Speaker 8: in the pocket and you just go poop poop boo.
Speaker 8: I mean, Jackson Dart, I wouldn't. I wouldn't blitz him
Speaker 8: if he got in the game for anything, like I
Speaker 8: want to see him throw the ball down the field
Speaker 8: a little bit and read out the defense fully so
Speaker 8: that you know, those are the kinds of things that
Speaker 8: I think the adjustments are there in the National Football League,
Speaker 8: and Caleb Williams is probably the prime example of that.
Speaker 8: I think every analyst that went in there, and I think,
Speaker 8: you know, as far as the top games, I'm the
Speaker 8: only one that wasn't a quarterback. So he heard it
Speaker 8: from everybody like get the ball out of your hands, Like, dude,
Speaker 8: just get the ball out of your hands. It doesn't
Speaker 8: matter complete seventy percent. And that's what Ben Johnson's been
Speaker 8: trying to do with him just het seventy percent. We
Speaker 8: got to hit seven out of ten of these and
Speaker 8: that's really hard to do. That means a lot of
Speaker 8: checking down in the NFL, and that's where he's got
Speaker 8: to get to.
Speaker 2: Are you preparing for Micah Parsons to prepare for the Eagles?
Speaker 8: Of course? Of course. I mean are you watching the
Speaker 8: Netflix thing on the Cowboys? Are you seeing any of that?
Speaker 8: And of course the Emmitt Smith thing. He held out
Speaker 8: for the first two games. They lose the first two games.
Speaker 8: Jerry's been down that road before. We've seen all this.
Speaker 8: They want to be a show, they want to be
Speaker 8: all these things. But the problem for Mike a is
Speaker 8: that you know, they really do control them for the
Speaker 8: next three years. He's under contract, and he can be
Speaker 8: franchise tagged the two years after that. So I don't
Speaker 8: know what the contract was that he agreed to. It
Speaker 8: wasn't a great concept to go in and sit down
Speaker 8: with Jerry Jones and start talking about a contract. It's
Speaker 8: not a great concept for the Players Association to allow
Speaker 8: NFL players in the room to negotiate with NFL owners.
Speaker 8: Those guys are trained killers, right, I mean that they
Speaker 8: are billionaires. They know how to negotiate deals. So as
Speaker 8: an agent, there is no way I'm letting Micah Parsons
Speaker 8: anywhere near Jerry Jones. I don't even want to have
Speaker 8: a private conversation on the field. I don't want any
Speaker 8: of that stuff. So but once you do, and you know,
Speaker 8: man up. He said he was willing to take less earlier,
Speaker 8: you know, and you know, whatever it was in the
Speaker 8: off season and he goes, oh, I'd take less to
Speaker 8: play for the Cowboys and all that, and Jerry took
Speaker 8: that and ran with it, and whatever was said behind
Speaker 8: closed doors, Jerry feels like he has a deal.
Speaker 2: I know, we're obsessed with rankings, ranking our quarterbacks. You know,
Speaker 2: where is Jalen Hurts? Is he a top ten? You know,
Speaker 2: I don't know where you I'm going against my own
Speaker 2: philosophy of you know, a kind of a knowledging these lists.
Speaker 2: But I am curious, since you do have the Eagles
Speaker 2: with Jalen Hurts, where does he kind of fit in
Speaker 2: to the pantheon of quarterbacks.
Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm not sure that I've seen his story like
Speaker 8: his I mean, I remember watching that National Championship game
Speaker 8: when he got benched for Tuam and Tua gets in
Speaker 8: the game and throws the game winning touchdown pass. They
Speaker 8: win the National championship. Everybody's going crazy, and I think
Speaker 8: most of us, maybe who are just parents, maybe those
Speaker 8: are the people. But I was thinking, Oh my god,
Speaker 8: that kid's career is over. Jalen hurts career is over.
Speaker 8: He's been a really good player. But there is no way,
Speaker 8: mentally or emotionally he comes back from this. You just
Speaker 8: can't happen. Right, goes off to Oklahoma, and I think
Speaker 8: he did a little bit of what we were just
Speaker 8: talking about. He had one of the highest percentages when
Speaker 8: he played for Oklahoma, comes out, gets drafted in the
Speaker 8: second round. Universally, everybody was panning the pick. How what
Speaker 8: are you doing in a second round quarterback? You might
Speaker 8: as well just throw it in the garbage can or whatever.
Speaker 8: But that's a team that was built around offensive line,
Speaker 8: built around defensive line. And to watch him and to
Speaker 8: meet him, You ever met him, You ever just had
Speaker 8: a conversation with him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's impressive.
Speaker 8: He's probably the most serious minded football player I've ever met.
Speaker 8: I mean, to get a smile out of him, you
Speaker 8: feel like, you know, you want to have a celebration,
Speaker 8: But he is all in. He's all in for his teammates.
Speaker 8: He's not afraid to lead, he's not afraid to put
Speaker 8: his head down and run. And when we talk about
Speaker 8: great players, what do we talk about in the NFL
Speaker 8: going from the twenty to twenty Anybody can do that?
Speaker 8: You know, if you had any chance at all, you
Speaker 8: can do that. The game starts in two situations in
Speaker 8: the red zone in short yard, right, those are the
Speaker 8: two you got to convert on third and fourth down,
Speaker 8: and you got to score touchdowns. When you get to
Speaker 8: the red zone, you're kicking field goals. You're going to
Speaker 8: lose in the NFL. And so what does this guy
Speaker 8: do better than anybody else? He hits a high percentage,
Speaker 8: be can run the ball with He's not a Lamar Jackson,
Speaker 8: maybe more of a Josh Allen kind of a big, strong,
Speaker 8: physical guy. But he scores touchdowns and he converts third downs,
Speaker 8: some of them with his arm, some of them with
Speaker 8: his legs, some of them with just sheer power or
Speaker 8: you know, his brain, his audibles because he studied the
Speaker 8: game so much. So it was interesting. I did an
Speaker 8: interview with Peyton Manning not too long ago, and he
Speaker 8: said that Jalen calls him all the time about how
Speaker 8: do you operate? What were you thinking here? What do
Speaker 8: you do there? And he's a real curious guy, but
Speaker 8: he is He is a dynamic guy. What I want
Speaker 8: him is my quarterback. I would take him all day long.
Speaker 8: Plus he sets the tone for that physical style of play.
Speaker 8: I mean, how frustrating would it be for a three
Speaker 8: hundred pound, three hundred and fifty pound defensive tackle to
Speaker 8: know he can't stop the quarterback from on a quarterback state.
Speaker 8: That's making these teams insane. I mean, they tried to
Speaker 8: change a frigging rule on them. It's making them all
Speaker 8: crazy out there. So I really I think very highly
Speaker 8: of him.
Speaker 2: Well, what's different now? And you know this is NFL
Speaker 2: teams drafted a quarterback and then you had to kind
Speaker 2: of adopt that team's philosophy of what they do. Now
Speaker 2: it feels like you're catering your offense. Whether it's Cam
Speaker 2: Newton or Patrick Mahomes or Josh Allen. We want to
Speaker 2: cater our offense to your strengths.
Speaker 8: Yeah, Lamar Jackson's probably the top of that list.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 8: So that was a Ozzie sitting there and there's Lamar
Speaker 8: last pick in the first round, and as it gets
Speaker 8: a little closer, he and John Harbaugh are having this
Speaker 8: conversation and I've talked to both of them about it,
Speaker 8: and basically it was this, are we going to do this,
Speaker 8: because you know, we've got to change everything that we've
Speaker 8: ever thought about offense. If we're going to do this,
Speaker 8: if we draft Lamar right here, and it's going to
Speaker 8: be your last pick as a general manager, it's going
Speaker 8: to be a bit of your legacy. I are ball
Speaker 8: as a coach have to totally commit to what he does. Right,
Speaker 8: And at the time, nobody I mean, obviously he's a
Speaker 8: thirty second pick. Everybody else had a chance. They didn't
Speaker 8: think that highly of them, right, But the one thing
Speaker 8: that I thought about him from the beginning was that
Speaker 8: he was a pocket passer at Louisville. He was That's
Speaker 8: what he was. Now he scrambled out of that and
Speaker 8: he ran and he did different things. So yeah, I
Speaker 8: think that in its entirety now the league is about
Speaker 8: finding guys who can make those plays, who can escape
Speaker 8: pass rush, who can game and convert third downs, strong
Speaker 8: enough to take a hit, smart enough to know how
Speaker 8: to run an offense, but have a good enough arm.
Speaker 8: And those are the guys. To me, those are the
Speaker 8: guys that are winning championships right now.
Speaker 2: Give me the team you're most curious about, probably the Bears.
Speaker 8: You know, I think it's hard to not want to
Speaker 8: see what that combination is. Ben Johnson's a really good coach.
Speaker 8: He's got a really talented quarterback and Caleb Williams. He's
Speaker 8: stacked him with receivers all around him, helped him with
Speaker 8: an offensive line. Joe Tooney's over there right now. And
Speaker 8: I think Ben Johnson's that smart, you know, he's like,
Speaker 8: you know, I hate that we have a rocket scientist
Speaker 8: in the league. You know, he's a computer scientist, and
Speaker 8: you know, so it's like, I don't know how much
Speaker 8: of that makes a difference or not, but he's a
Speaker 8: smart guy. And I think that what he did going
Speaker 8: into Chicago was you know, I'm going to beat him up.
Speaker 8: You know, I'm going to make his life really miserable.
Speaker 8: This guy's gotten nil money in college. He drove a
Speaker 8: fancy car before I ever drove a fancy car in
Speaker 8: my life. I'm going to beat him up because this
Speaker 8: is Chicago and they take football very seriously here, and
Speaker 8: if he can't handle me, he certainly is not going
Speaker 8: to be able to handle the Green Bay Packers and
Speaker 8: the Minnesota Vikings, right So I'm going to beat him
Speaker 8: up and see whether or not he can take it.
Speaker 8: But I still believe the hardest thing he's going to
Speaker 8: have to learn. The part that didn't make any sense
Speaker 8: to me at the time why Ben took Chicago instead
Speaker 8: of he could added almost any of the jobs, is
Speaker 8: he had a quarterback in Callable who had I think
Speaker 8: literally like a dozen snaps in college under center, and
Speaker 8: so much of what they did in Detroit and the
Speaker 8: reason they were so successful in Detroit was because they
Speaker 8: were under center and they ran football and they very
Speaker 8: much were part of that offensive line, you know, being
Speaker 8: the driving force of the team. And then Jared Goff
Speaker 8: became a good player because he got protected and they
Speaker 8: ran the football and you can go play action. So
Speaker 8: you know what they're trying to put in place here.
Speaker 8: I just it'll be interesting to see whether Caleb can
Speaker 8: become an under center quarterback.
Speaker 2: But I don't know why more quarterbacks don't get under center.
Speaker 2: That takes away the illusion you know where you're going
Speaker 2: to do play action where you actually are faking or
Speaker 2: giving to a running back, And can you speak to
Speaker 2: that of everybody's in the gun, I think.
Speaker 8: It's what they know. You know, they've got all these
Speaker 8: passing camps now when they're in high school and you
Speaker 8: go seven on seven and you do all that, and
Speaker 8: so nobody's taking the center snap. And I can tell.
Speaker 8: I mean, I played quarterback until I was a sophomore
Speaker 8: in college when they finally figured out I couldn't throw
Speaker 8: it at all. So but just and I would talk
Speaker 8: to Kenny Anderson about it. I'm like, what are you
Speaker 8: watching as you're going back? And he said, I'm watching
Speaker 8: the two safeties. So if they split, that means one thing,
Speaker 8: and one comes up and goes back. If they're too
Speaker 8: deep that means another thing. I know through my progressions
Speaker 8: immediately what I'm going to do. And I said, well,
Speaker 8: why don't you like doing the shotgun? He said, because
Speaker 8: I got to catch the ball. And I'm like, what
Speaker 8: he goes, If I catch the ball, I have to
Speaker 8: take my eyes off of those two safeties. So I
Speaker 8: think to some extent there you see snaps get bobbled
Speaker 8: all the time. But they're trying to watch the two safeties.
Speaker 8: They're trying to see the field. They're trying to catch
Speaker 8: it without really looking at the football. But they they've
Speaker 8: gotten used to doing that over the years. What they
Speaker 8: can't do is the reverse of it, which is drop
Speaker 8: back and get themselves set and be able to make
Speaker 8: the same kind of reads down the field. It's hard.
Speaker 2: Good to talk to you. Excited for the upcoming season
Speaker 2: and thanks for joining us.
Speaker 8: Good talking to you, buddy.
Speaker 2: That's Chris Collinsworth Pro Football Focus. He's a part of

Speaker 2: And it'll be eight Eastern the NFL kickoff and it'll
Speaker 2: be the Cowboys and the Eagles. We'll take a break

Speaker 4: Best of the Weekend At Maria Sharpoe's International Tennis Hall
Speaker 4: of Fame enshrinement Saturday night, Serena Williams came out to
Speaker 4: surpriser calling her a formal rival, former fan and forever friend.
Speaker 4: She added this, which I thought was sweet. There are
Speaker 4: only a few players in my career who chouse me
Speaker 4: to be the very best every single time we stepped
Speaker 4: out in the court. Maria Sharapova was one of them.
Speaker 4: Whenever I saw her name next to mine in the draw,
Speaker 4: I made sure I practiced harder. Worst of the weekend.
Speaker 4: After some pushing and shoving during the team's final preseason
Speaker 4: game Saturday Night, Bucks rookie safety Shiloh Standers gets ejected
Speaker 4: late in the second court after throwing a punch of
Speaker 4: bills out in Zach Davidson. He was cut by Tampa yesterday.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess there's still a chance that he could
Speaker 2: come back to the team, but you know, they cut
Speaker 2: him out to the game. Satan best and worst.
Speaker 3: Best thing I saw this weekend. There are these I'm
Speaker 3: trying to find some good video, maybe I'll do a
Speaker 3: look in on it. But there are these adult tackle
Speaker 3: football leagues popping up all over the place. It's like
Speaker 3: you thirty seven or something, you forty or whatever, and
Speaker 3: it's a bunch of older dudes in varying degrees of shape.
Speaker 3: It is simultaneously the most brutal thing and most hilarious
Speaker 3: thing I've seen in a long time. Partially disturbing, partially
Speaker 3: just the best entertaining. Yes, yes, yeah, full pads, full pads,
Speaker 3: full hitting, full everything. ACL's flying all over the place.
Speaker 3: It is just amazing. And these dudes take off their
Speaker 3: helmets and you know, gray in their beards and everything.
Speaker 2: It's so good. It is so good.
Speaker 3: My kind of don't really understand, but I'm sure it
Speaker 3: is a big deal. A lot of controversy coming out
Speaker 3: of the US Open, and especially the start time starting
Speaker 3: on Sunday rather than Monday. I don't know if that's
Speaker 3: just a tradition issue or if there are actual, like
Speaker 3: competitive reasons for it.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I didn't even know the US Open started.
Speaker 2: It's like all of a sudden, I saw some matches
Speaker 2: or results and a controversy with a photographer.
Speaker 3: The photographer is a big controversy.
Speaker 2: Booing Quiet Marvin Best and Worst.
Speaker 13: Best of the weekend. UNFV running back Jet Thomas had
Speaker 13: a big night. Ten carries, one hundred and forty seven yards,
Speaker 13: three touchdowns. His real name is not Jet, it's Jaden.
Speaker 13: When he's called him Jet, Worse of the weekend because
Speaker 13: he's fast. Correct your team, my team, Everyone's team. The
Speaker 13: Colorado Rockies they lost to the Pirates. They officially eliminated
Speaker 13: from playoff contention.
Speaker 12: Okay, Paul beston worst Best of the weekend, Havaii beating
Speaker 12: Stanford in football and the quarterback for Micah Alajedo. He's
Speaker 12: only five to ten, twenty seven to thirty nine to ten,
Speaker 12: two touchdowns with a really bum foot. He was laboring
Speaker 12: in the second half, so Elajeado for a vie and
Speaker 12: then the Little League World Series. I don't know which
Speaker 12: team or which player it was, but they put like
Speaker 12: favorite band on their bios or favorite foods. What you
Speaker 12: want to be when you grow up is often on
Speaker 12: the graphic, and this young man wanted to be an actuary,
Speaker 12: and it got quite the response in the booth because
Speaker 12: it's non traditional an actuary.
Speaker 2: Okay, Todd, do you know what an actuary does?
Speaker 4: I thought it was either something tax related or some
Speaker 4: kind of legal thing, but I don't know. I couldn't
Speaker 4: guess anything more specific than something legal or handling something taxes.
Speaker 2: I just thought it it was like it had to
Speaker 2: do with mathematical stuff and like I think when you
Speaker 2: look at potential losses and gains and then you have
Speaker 2: to kind of guess on that, maybe it's bess to
Speaker 2: do with insurance, right, I don't know. I think an
Speaker 2: actuary works in insurance. Okay, that would make sense if
Speaker 2: they're looking at risk that is. Does that sound right, Paul?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 12: I think collectively we're right. Ish actuaries use math, statistics,
Speaker 12: and financial theory to analyze economic risk and uncertainty, most
Speaker 12: commonly in the insurance companies for risk tables going forward.
Speaker 2: Okay, I think we got it. I think we did
Speaker 2: better than Carl Ravage did and the Little League crew
Speaker 2: when they were talking about it. Do you have a
Speaker 2: worst of the weekend? No? No, two besters? Okay, that's great.
Speaker 2: I saw these Paul Skeens numbers. These are historical numbers
Speaker 2: that he's putting up. The live ball era in baseball
Speaker 2: started nineteen twenty. The lowest RARA in the first fifty
Speaker 2: starts for a pitcher in the history of the game
Speaker 2: Vita Blue two point one. Second on the list is
Speaker 2: Paul Skeenes two point two lowest era in the first
Speaker 2: fifty starts of a career. How about the best whip,
Speaker 2: the lowest whip in the first fifty starts in the
Speaker 2: history of Major League Baseball. Paul Skeens is number one
Speaker 2: highest strikeout rate. This is the first fifty starts of
Speaker 2: a career. Uh Paul's schemes is in the top ten.
Speaker 2: I mean, these are incredible numbers. He is the tenth
Speaker 2: lowest batting average for the first fifty starts in the
Speaker 2: history of the game. The slugging percentage against him is
Speaker 2: the eighteenth lowest in baseball history. Remarkable, and he's a
Speaker 2: five hundred pitcher. Well in record and this year while
Speaker 2: he's playing for the Pirates, we'll talk some football. Rick
Speaker 2: Neuheisel will stop by. Are we going to a twenty
Speaker 2: four twenty eighteen playoff? Who's winning the SEC, Who's winning
Speaker 2: the Big Ten? Find out next
