9
00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 4: It's a lovely Wednesday in Los Angeles.

10
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:32,879
Speaker 3: That's right.

11
00:00:32,920 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 4: It's me Jason MacIntyre coming out of the bullpen to

12
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 4: fill in for the injured, struggling Colin Coward.

13
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 3: He's down for the count with some sort of cough

14
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:45,200
Speaker 3: sneeze flu deal.

15
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:47,479
Speaker 4: You know, hey, listen, when the weather church cold in Chicago,

16
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:49,920
Speaker 4: it's tough. You gotta get a jacket. I guess Colin's

17
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,120
Speaker 4: gonna have to buy one now. He'll be back tomorrow,

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,440
Speaker 4: he promises. You got eleven hours sleep. And you know,

19
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 4: things line up perfectly because I get to fill in.

20
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 3: And you know, I'm talking about the.

21
00:01:00,840 --> 00:01:04,520
Speaker 4: New York Football Jets for three straight hours. Joined today

22
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 4: by the Great Rachel Nichols. Rachel not as excited about

23
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:11,319
Speaker 4: the Jets as I am, but it is James.

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,759
Speaker 3: The big, big night today in Los Angeles.

25
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 4: Obviously, the Lakers hosting Victor Webbin Yama. Rachel will be there.

26
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 4: I'm efforting tickets as we speak, but we'll hopefully have

27
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 4: a great night. But Rachel, we got to start with

28
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 4: the NFL. And as a long suffering Jets fan, don't

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 4: ask me how I got into being a Jets fan.

30
00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,920
Speaker 4: I was born in New York, family moved to DC,

31
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 4: and I decided I don't want to root for these

32
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 4: Washington at the time, Redskins. Let me go to my

33
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 4: hometown Routs, the New York Jets and folks, it's been

34
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 4: a long time since we've had anything to cheer about.

35
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,680
Speaker 4: And then on NFL trade deadline Day, it becomes basically

36
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:52,240
Speaker 4: the greatest day in franchise history for anyone under the

37
00:01:52,280 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 4: age of fifty. Obviously, you know the Jets one with

38
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 4: Joe Namath the way back in the day. Colin loves

39
00:01:57,560 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 4: to reference those days.

40
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't know them there to me, so

41
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: as a.

42
00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: Jets fan, the reason I'm celebrating is the trades. You know,

43
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:08,239
Speaker 4: it wasn't working with the defensive strategy, as is often

44
00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:10,360
Speaker 4: the case in the NFL. We'll talk about that later

45
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: with a couple of great guests, but they're going offense

46
00:02:13,320 --> 00:02:16,600
Speaker 4: and they have moved off Sauce Gardner, the great cornerback

47
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:19,080
Speaker 4: who was an All Pro in his first two seasons,

48
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 4: and Quinn Williams he shipped to Dallas. Folks, it is

49
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 4: a celebratory day if you're a Jets fan. This season's

50
00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,359
Speaker 4: gonna be tough. I saw one of these who won

51
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 4: the trades. The twenty twenty five Jets are listed as losers.

52
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,920
Speaker 3: They're gonna stink this season. We're one and seven.

53
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I could say we and maybe we win a

54
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:39,560
Speaker 4: couple games, but it's not about this year.

55
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 3: It's for the future, because, folks, we rich.

56
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,240
Speaker 4: We got a war chest of picks in the next

57
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:46,960
Speaker 4: two drafts.

58
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: Okay, we got two.

59
00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,920
Speaker 4: First rounders and a second in twenty twenty six, and

60
00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 4: look at that twenty twenty seven. I mean they're loaded

61
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 4: three first round picks. Now, I know you guys are

62
00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:00,920
Speaker 4: all over draft boards like I am. Yeah, you know

63
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:02,520
Speaker 4: what they're saying. Twenty twenty six straft.

64
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 3: It's fine, it's good.

65
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 4: Twenty seven maybe the greatest NFL draft ever, headlined by

66
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 4: obviously the great mister Smith at Ohio State, and who knows,

67
00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:15,040
Speaker 4: maybe Archie Manning is a superstar at that point. But

68
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 4: to recap the trades, the teardown, Oh wait, it's not

69
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,320
Speaker 4: a teardown. Let's go to Jets GM Darren Mooji.

70
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:26,880
Speaker 5: I wouldn't call it a teardown. And the goal is

71
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:27,480
Speaker 5: always to win.

72
00:03:27,639 --> 00:03:31,760
Speaker 6: Look, these coaches and players work too hard every day,

73
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,080
Speaker 6: all day with the goal of winning on Sunday, and

74
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 6: that never changes because that's what the fans deserve, that's

75
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 6: what the players are, that's what the coaches are, and

76
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:40,960
Speaker 6: that never changes.

77
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 4: Well said, I learned out who Darren Muji was basically yesterday.

78
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 4: He's been anonymous, hasn't been in the role that long.

79
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 4: But I don't want to look too much at the past. Okay,

80
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 4: you know, as my son likes to say, trust Dad, Trust,

81
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 4: I'm trusting in the Jets future. Guys. The past is

82
00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: a place of reference, not residents. You don't want to

83
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:05,400
Speaker 4: live in the past. You can reference it, and I'm

84
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,680
Speaker 4: gonna do that right now. I'm gonna bring up a

85
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 4: certain Detroit Lions team that you know, not too long ago,

86
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 4: had a terrible run. Then they trade for Jared Goff

87
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:18,600
Speaker 4: fixed the offensive line, and they start to figure things out,

88
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,839
Speaker 4: and they hire a gentleman by the name of Dan Campbell.

89
00:04:22,040 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell will kind of rough around the edges. Had

90
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: to develop a culture in Detroit. These things aren't built overnight.

91
00:04:28,080 --> 00:04:30,359
Speaker 4: And if you remember, in twenty twenty two, the Lions

92
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 4: start one to six and everybody's scoffing at Campbell. I

93
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,120
Speaker 4: may have been in that group. And then they turn

94
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,800
Speaker 4: things around and they end up nine to eight. And

95
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 4: in the twenty twenty three draft, the Detroit Lions had

96
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 4: four picks in the first forty five. Four in the

97
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 4: first forty five off a nine and eight season. Folks,

98
00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,799
Speaker 4: they hit a grand Slam home run in that twenty

99
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,320
Speaker 4: twenty three draft, Jamiir Gibbs, who people were like, hey,

100
00:04:56,320 --> 00:04:58,360
Speaker 4: well Jamir running back that early?

101
00:04:59,000 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: I don't know.

102
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 4: Then they got the kid Campbell, the linebacker. Come on,

103
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:06,120
Speaker 4: these are not premium positions, Detroit, what are you doing.

104
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:08,840
Speaker 4: And then in the second round, this is when they

105
00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 4: made too great picks. Sam Laporte, the tight end who's

106
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 4: playing in an all Pro level, and Brian Branch who

107
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 4: wasn't All Pro last season.

108
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: Four picks, four major hits.

109
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:22,080
Speaker 4: They made the jump to light speed the next season

110
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 4: twelve and five, last year fifteen and two. You can

111
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 4: turn things around quickly with the right draft picks. And

112
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,400
Speaker 4: I can already hear you shouting at your radio or

113
00:05:32,440 --> 00:05:36,880
Speaker 4: your TV, Jay Mack, come on, the Jets don't have anything. Actually,

114
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,640
Speaker 4: the infrastructure is kind of sort of there. We're just

115
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 4: not seeing the results yet. And oh, by the way,

116
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 4: you guys know, Aaron Glenn came from Detroit, right he

117
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 4: was on that Dan Campbell's staff saw what Dan Campbell

118
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Speaker 4: instilled as a culture. It takes some time. These things

119
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 4: must bake. You've got to give them time. And I

120
00:05:55,480 --> 00:05:58,440
Speaker 4: hope that the Jets give Aaron Glenn time because frankly,

121
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,520
Speaker 4: I don't know if they're going to go and take

122
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,479
Speaker 4: Fernando Mendoza, the kid out of Indiana with the number

123
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 4: one pick. By the way, I love Fernando Mendoza. I

124
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 4: learn more about him on his linked in page than

125
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 4: I did his IG. Yeah, I want my quarterback who's

126
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,719
Speaker 4: updating his LinkedIn page.

127
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,840
Speaker 3: He already graduated from business school.

128
00:06:15,080 --> 00:06:18,279
Speaker 4: He's getting a second master's in business at Indiana.

129
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 3: And oh, by the way, he's one of the Heisman favorites.

130
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,800
Speaker 4: I mean, this guy's a genius, a six foot five

131
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:27,360
Speaker 4: quarterback winning from the pocket, had multiple offensive coordinators. Listen,

132
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,280
Speaker 4: I'm starting to buy into Fernando Mendoza. But here's the

133
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 4: beauty of having options like the Jets have. If he's

134
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 4: not your guy, and you realize it, we like him,

135
00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:35,560
Speaker 4: we don't love him.

136
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 3: Huh.

137
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,120
Speaker 4: Is it possible that maybe we go with the Giants strategy.

138
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: We get a defensive player early, and at the end

139
00:06:42,320 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 4: of the first round we find a quarterback.

140
00:06:44,080 --> 00:06:46,800
Speaker 3: It's looking good for Jackson Dart in New York.

141
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:47,839
Speaker 7: All right, let's.

142
00:06:47,720 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 4: Pivot to one of the teams that traded with the

143
00:06:50,160 --> 00:06:53,760
Speaker 4: Jets yesterday, and that's the Dallas Cowboys, led by their

144
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 4: carnival barker of an owner Jerry Jones. Guys, I know

145
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 4: a lot of cowboys. They are long suffering like the Jets.

146
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:04,160
Speaker 4: I mean, they haven't been to do it. NFC championship,

147
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 4: longest drought in the NFC. It's bad, it's bleak. But oh,

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:15,000
Speaker 4: by the way, some people in Dallas are applauding Jerry's

149
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 4: move yesterday to grab Quinny Williams from my Jets. Me

150
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,040
Speaker 4: in the morning meeting, I'm catching strays all over the place.

151
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 4: These guys are like, I like what Dallas did, I

152
00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 4: like what Jerry did. Really, you guys like Jerry Jones saying, yeah,

153
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 4: we got Micah Parsons, who, by the way, two years

154
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 4: ago was a like the focal point of an incredible

155
00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 4: defense that went fourth in the league.

156
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:39,360
Speaker 3: Yes, that's right.

157
00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,880
Speaker 4: In Mike McCarthy's great twelve twelve win season two years ago,

158
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 4: the Dallas defense, led by Micaeh was fourth in the league.

159
00:07:47,880 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 4: But last year Dak gets hurt. The backup quarterbacks can't

160
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 4: do anything. The defense crumbles, suffers injuries, and they're terrible.

161
00:07:54,320 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 4: So let's move off Michael. Let's not pay him nine

162
00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 4: games into the season. Oh my gosh, defense is a

163
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 4: tire fire. Let's go get Quinn Williams. What are we doing?

164
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 4: Here's Jerry Jones on making it up on the fly

165
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 4: on the radio yesterday.

166
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:13,160
Speaker 8: I don't have time personally to have a bad time.

167
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:16,880
Speaker 8: It's not on my schedule, and so I have a

168
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:24,720
Speaker 8: natural urgency because of my age, and so tomorrow's the immediate.

169
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:27,280
Speaker 8: Tomorrow are a big thing to me. And I also

170
00:08:28,480 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 8: have enough discipline not to get in trouble for years

171
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:35,000
Speaker 8: to come.

172
00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 4: Oh my gosh, Cowboys fans, are you following? I mean,

173
00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:41,920
Speaker 4: you got whiplash a listening to your owners last GM

174
00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:45,680
Speaker 4: and be following all these moves. And here's the crazy part.

175
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,760
Speaker 4: If you look intotality at the Micah deal and.

176
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 3: The Quinn Williams deal, that they didn't.

177
00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:56,960
Speaker 4: Get that much for Michaeh Parsons, who's basically had one

178
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,080
Speaker 4: of the best runs of any defensive player in the

179
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:01,000
Speaker 4: of the NFL.

180
00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 3: That ain't hyperbole. Those are facts.

181
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 4: I mean, go look at what Micah Parsons has done

182
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 4: in his career.

183
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 3: He's been unbelievable. I love Quinn Williams. I hiped the

184
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 3: hell out of him when he was with my Jets.

185
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:14,160
Speaker 4: Well, now that they've traded him, I'm ready to be

186
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 4: objective and say, oh, he's had a really good career

187
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 4: six seasons, one zero pro. He's the elite at his position. Well,

188
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,680
Speaker 4: he's certainly not top five. He's been great against the run,

189
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 4: and that's what Dallas wants him to do. Find Okay, great,

190
00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 4: I don't know how that helps your secondary and ninety

191
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 4: two million dollar man, mister Bland, who's still on his

192
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:37,160
Speaker 4: rear end after getting cooked by Marvin Harrison, Monday night.

193
00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:40,000
Speaker 4: I mean, listen, this Dallas defense is a laughing stock

194
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 4: and Jerry Jones is just making it up on the fly.

195
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 4: I mean, forget about plans. If you're not planning, you know,

196
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 4: what are you doing? And then you hear the owners

197
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,200
Speaker 4: saying that's not on my timeline. We had to turn

198
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 4: it around real quick. I don't I know that everybody

199
00:09:56,120 --> 00:09:58,439
Speaker 4: was excited about Dallas at times this season, and I've

200
00:09:58,760 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 4: taken the bait.

201
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lie. I fell for it.

202
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,040
Speaker 4: You know, when they were able to put up forty

203
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 4: on the Packers and look good, it's like, oh, maybe

204
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 4: there's something here.

205
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:08,200
Speaker 3: But then you drill down.

206
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 4: A little bit, like, oh, defense got destroyed by Caleb

207
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:15,760
Speaker 4: Williams and they just got dog walk by Jacoby Brissett.

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:17,200
Speaker 3: Did you see that stat?

209
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:17,520
Speaker 5: Guys?

210
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinals were the only team in the league

211
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760
Speaker 4: not to have a drive over seventy four yards in

212
00:10:23,800 --> 00:10:24,319
Speaker 4: the season.

213
00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,079
Speaker 3: Jacoby Brissett had two of those.

214
00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 4: Back to back for touchdowns against Dallas Monday night. Like

215
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:32,720
Speaker 4: at that point, I'm sure Jerry sees it. It's like, oh,

216
00:10:32,960 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: we got to overpay for Quinn Williams. Let's remember by

217
00:10:35,559 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 4: the way. As an aside on the Jets, Apparently Mouji

218
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:43,920
Speaker 4: wasn't making calls for quinnin and sauce, he's fielding calls.

219
00:10:44,440 --> 00:10:48,800
Speaker 4: So Jerry reactionary as ever to his defense, getting embarrassed

220
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 4: by Jacoby Brissett says, oh, man, we gotta go get

221
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 4: Quentin Williams. Like that's not how you want to operate.

222
00:10:57,960 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: What are we doing?

223
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,560
Speaker 4: Like something wacky happens this next month, Like, oh, we

224
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:05,200
Speaker 4: got to apply it to next offseason. Like it's just

225
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:08,720
Speaker 4: not how you're They're not a serious football program right now.

226
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,360
Speaker 3: I mean they haven't been for years.

227
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 4: I just cannot fathom how Dallas fans are dealing with this.

228
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:18,319
Speaker 4: I'm all excited because the Jets have moved off players. Meanwhile,

229
00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones is tinkering, thinking, oh, we got something, have

230
00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: you I don't know if we can call up the

231
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 4: Dallas schedule here, but have you guys seen what they've

232
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,520
Speaker 4: got coming up? This idea that Quinn's gonna help them

233
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 4: to the playoffs is laughable. They got a three game

234
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:36,679
Speaker 4: stretch here Eagles, Chiefs, Lions, and by the way, the

235
00:11:36,760 --> 00:11:39,160
Speaker 4: Vikings and Chargers are not Chop Liver. So this team's

236
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 4: not going to the playoffs this year, and if you

237
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 4: want to sell me on, hey, Jay, I think it's

238
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 4: probably for next year. Okay, that's not a bad idea.

239
00:11:45,559 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 4: Can I ask you what are you doing with Pickens

240
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 4: on the outside? He's in a contract year. Are you

241
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 4: suddenly paying him big money to be you? The t

242
00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: Higgins to Lamb's Jamar Chase?

243
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 3: Is that what we're doing? So we're going to become

244
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,240
Speaker 3: Bengals NFC, because that's what it feels like.

245
00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 4: I just feel like there's no plan in place. Planning

246
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,200
Speaker 4: is invaluable, and I don't think Jerry does that. It

247
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 4: feels to me like he's making it.

248
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 3: Up on the fly.

249
00:12:13,559 --> 00:12:15,080
Speaker 4: So I know, I've opened the show with a lot

250
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:20,079
Speaker 4: of positivity followed by some negativity. We'll do plenty of positive.

251
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 4: Rachel's here, obviously, and we are excited.

252
00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:25,400
Speaker 3: Rachel. I am just curious before we go to break here.

253
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 4: Jerry Jones reactionary, Hey, we need to do this now,

254
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:33,760
Speaker 4: not on my timeline. You hear that as a Cowboys fan,

255
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 4: and I know you're a Washington fan, I'm excited.

256
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 7: Do not call me a Cowboys fan, come.

257
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:40,920
Speaker 4: On, yeah, But as a Washington fig you hear that,

258
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:43,839
Speaker 4: You're like, oh, heck, yeah, I love this.

259
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 7: I mean, look, what did Jerry say that he's old?

260
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:51,439
Speaker 9: So you know his timeline is not necessarily the Cowboys timeline.

261
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:53,960
Speaker 9: I saw this as a trade for next year. Honestly,

262
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,240
Speaker 9: the Cowboys have issues in their secondary. This is not

263
00:12:56,240 --> 00:12:58,679
Speaker 9: going to fix everything, but it will set them more

264
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:00,600
Speaker 9: on the right track than they currently are.

265
00:13:00,720 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 7: So that's okay.

266
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 3: I enjoy the six wins this year. Seven Maybe Cowboys

267
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:04,880
Speaker 3: fans all right?

268
00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:09,120
Speaker 4: Coming up next, did an AFC team miss their win?

269
00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:12,120
Speaker 4: Do they make a mistake not making a move. We'll

270
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:13,800
Speaker 4: talk about that next on The Herd.

287
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 4: the Jets will be sifting through to find. Hopefully they're

288
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 4: hidden gem in the draft, folks. That's why I'm optimistic.

289
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,079
Speaker 3: It's fun.

290
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,280
Speaker 4: Like there's optimism right see, Rakes are laughing over there, like, yeah, listen,

291
00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,640
Speaker 4: I'm giddy. It feels like Christmas and I'm like eleven

292
00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:20,600
Speaker 4: years old and there's presence everywhere. It's like, yes, what's

293
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:21,000
Speaker 4: in there?

294
00:14:21,160 --> 00:14:23,360
Speaker 7: I just love that there is no story you cannot

295
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 7: tie to the Jets.

296
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, yes, And I know the Jets are like

297
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:29,720
Speaker 4: a no fly zone because they stink and nobody cares.

298
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 3: But when you're passionate about something, hey, let's rock with it.

299
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 4: Let me quickly talk about the Indiana Indianapolis Colts because

300
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:39,400
Speaker 4: they're kind of all in you guys.

301
00:14:39,720 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 3: I like to play poker.

302
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,960
Speaker 4: Occasionally, you know, you think you can bluff your way

303
00:14:44,960 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 4: to a big haul, or maybe you just are, like

304
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:49,080
Speaker 4: you know what, I'm sick of this on bored. I'm

305
00:14:49,080 --> 00:14:50,680
Speaker 4: going home, just a friendly poker game.

306
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 3: I'm going all in.

307
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 4: The smart people and the smart poker players, and the

308
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 4: smart NFL teams usually draft and developed and maybe supplement

309
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:06,240
Speaker 4: a little bit through free agency and trades. Right, draft

310
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,640
Speaker 4: and develop is a way to go. And if you

311
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 4: looked at the deadline yesterday, a lot of the content

312
00:15:11,880 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: the major contenders did nothing, and you're like, oh, that's

313
00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:15,960
Speaker 4: that's kind of interesting. But you have a team like

314
00:15:15,960 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 4: the Colts taking a big swing. And I had a

315
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 4: Colt buddy who texted me and was like, this is

316
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:26,000
Speaker 4: so out of character for Ballard. He basically has drafted

317
00:15:26,040 --> 00:15:29,440
Speaker 4: and developed with the Colts. He hasn't done much of Hey,

318
00:15:29,520 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 4: let's make a big, huge swing, give up draft picks.

319
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,200
Speaker 3: And so I'm like, what do you think this is about? Now?

320
00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 4: One of the guys on staff has tried to talk

321
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:40,600
Speaker 4: me into this topic, not really talk me into, but

322
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:42,720
Speaker 4: he's brought it up. And it's interesting talked about all

323
00:15:42,760 --> 00:15:47,200
Speaker 4: my podcasting with others. The Colt's new owner is now

324
00:15:47,280 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 4: like on the sideline wearing a headset, taking notes and

325
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:51,600
Speaker 4: she's not saying much.

326
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 3: She's just very involved.

327
00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:57,440
Speaker 4: And I've workshopped a couple ideas about what's going on

328
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 4: because the indie media hasn't really gotten much out of her.

329
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: She did have some great quotes recently, but it's like, hmm,

330
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 4: I wonder is Chris Baller saying, damn, we got one

331
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: playoff win in the.

332
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 3: Last ten years.

333
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 4: Daniel Jones is playing out kicking his coverage here, he's

334
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:17,560
Speaker 4: playing way above his above the rim. He's doing awesome. Hell,

335
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 4: Ravens don't look formidable. They add the Lamar injury chiefs?

336
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: Are they dominant? J Max out here on TV saying

337
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 4: they're not going to the playoffs? Bills shucks, they got

338
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 4: smacked by the Falcons?

339
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 3: Is this our year? Can we pull this off? Should

340
00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:34,280
Speaker 3: we go all in?

341
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:37,960
Speaker 4: And it's a fascinating question, you guys know, because a

342
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 4: part of an ownership group of a soccer team in

343
00:16:40,240 --> 00:16:44,080
Speaker 4: the top Mexican league, I love team building and moving

344
00:16:44,120 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 4: the chess pieces around and it's not easy. And you

345
00:16:48,320 --> 00:16:50,640
Speaker 4: see the Colts and I just want was this interrational

346
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 4: move by them? Or does this make them legit contenders?

347
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 4: Because I'm gonna be honest with you. If you go

348
00:16:56,280 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 4: by Vegas and you say, who are the Colts playing

349
00:16:58,720 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 4: in the playoffs? Are they're playing the Chiefs, they're going

350
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:02,680
Speaker 4: to be underdogs, even if they're at home. Oh, the

351
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,640
Speaker 4: Culture playing the Bills, they're going to be underdogs. What

352
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 4: about the Ravens. Yeah, same deal. And by that metric,

353
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 4: it's like, should you have gone all in? Because let's

354
00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:17,280
Speaker 4: be real, this Daniel Jones deal one year, fourteen million dollars.

355
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 5: You guys, remember what.

356
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 4: Happened with Daniel Jones had success in New York. He

357
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,720
Speaker 4: wasn't even this good in New York, but they got

358
00:17:24,720 --> 00:17:27,120
Speaker 4: to the playoffs. He didn't make a lot of mistakes

359
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 4: and they beat the Vikings. Then he wanted to contract

360
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,720
Speaker 4: negotiations and he said he wanted all the money. The

361
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,560
Speaker 4: stories about what was going on at that table pretty legendary.

362
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 3: And guess what. The Giants bent over backwards. They gave

363
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:44,719
Speaker 3: it to him within about a couple months. Oh what

364
00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 3: did we do? We can't afford Saquon?

365
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:48,920
Speaker 4: And then Daniel takes the field and the next season

366
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,359
Speaker 4: they were terrible and it's like goodbye, couldn't run him

367
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 4: out of town quick enough.

368
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:54,680
Speaker 3: So I know he's had.

369
00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:59,080
Speaker 4: A rejuvenated season, if you will, But what if this

370
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 4: is eight weeks of fools, gold and what we just

371
00:18:01,359 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 4: saw against Pittsburgh is probably closer to the real Danny Dimes.

372
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:07,959
Speaker 4: By the way, how about the name change he went

373
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:11,560
Speaker 4: from Danny Dimes. I started calling him Danny loose change, and.

374
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:11,919
Speaker 3: Now he is.

375
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:15,760
Speaker 4: He has rebranded in India as Indiana Jones.

376
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 3: Okay, and we'll see how that works out.

377
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 4: So I like sauce Gardner. I think he's gonna fit

378
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:24,320
Speaker 4: in Captain Lew's defensive scheme, heavy zone. I mean, with

379
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:26,879
Speaker 4: his length and instincts. I mean, Sauce Gardner is gonna

380
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:30,760
Speaker 4: do well. But as I alluded to yesterday, like they're

381
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:32,439
Speaker 4: gonna be facing the Bills in the playoffs, so is

382
00:18:32,440 --> 00:18:35,040
Speaker 4: he like, Hey, we're gonna erase this side of the field,

383
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:37,960
Speaker 4: all right. I mean, Bill's got great tight ends underneath

384
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:41,240
Speaker 4: slot receiver, Like there's nobody you need to remove from

385
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 4: from the Bills. Same year with the Ravens, the Chiefs,

386
00:18:45,119 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 4: A Forge she Rice. But I don't know that he's

387
00:18:46,840 --> 00:18:47,320
Speaker 4: a one yet.

388
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:47,639
Speaker 3: Guys.

389
00:18:47,840 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 4: He's a one on my fantasy team, that's for sure.

390
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:52,720
Speaker 4: But I just have some questions about the Colts. I

391
00:18:52,760 --> 00:18:56,159
Speaker 4: do applaud them. We're close, we're going all in. I

392
00:18:56,200 --> 00:19:00,360
Speaker 4: do I respect that remember the Jets see Rachel's He's right,

393
00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 4: I'm gonna bring it back.

394
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,080
Speaker 3: To the Jets. If they were close, they go all in,

395
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,560
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers, I didn't.

396
00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,600
Speaker 4: I wanted something else, but when they did go all in,

397
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:08,560
Speaker 4: I supported it.

398
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 3: Then Rogers gets hurt.

399
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:14,040
Speaker 4: It ends quickly, but I ultimately do not believe this

400
00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,199
Speaker 4: will lead to much for the Colts. And now you're

401
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 4: gonna have to probably overpay Daniel Jones. He's not gonna

402
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 4: want some bargain basement twenty five thirty million dollar a

403
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:25,119
Speaker 4: year deal. He's gonna say, listen, I was one of

404
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,720
Speaker 4: the best quarterbacks you've had in the last decade, says

405
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 4: Andrew luck Left. What else you got, you gonna go get.

406
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,760
Speaker 3: Kyler Marine now, Shane.

407
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 4: Here's Shane Steichen, by the way, on the radio this

408
00:19:34,960 --> 00:19:36,880
Speaker 4: morning on the Indianapolis trade.

409
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:42,199
Speaker 12: Obviously, I'm really excited about adding Sauce Gardner to our

410
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:46,159
Speaker 12: football team. You know, his resume speaks for itself, pro bowler,

411
00:19:46,200 --> 00:19:48,840
Speaker 12: all pro. So to get a guy into the building

412
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 12: like that, it just elevates everybody around us. So really

413
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:53,520
Speaker 12: excited to add him to the fold.

414
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,880
Speaker 4: By the way, Gardner was all Pro the first two

415
00:19:56,920 --> 00:19:59,720
Speaker 4: years last year he struggled. You could argue that they

416
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 4: were inking ship. He was unhappy this year when targeted.

417
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 4: He's got a passer rating allowed of one to eighteen.

418
00:20:07,080 --> 00:20:07,560
Speaker 3: Not great.

419
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:10,119
Speaker 4: Now again, you could argue sinking ship. Jet steak Kee

420
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 4: was checked out. Okay, I'll buy that, but good luck

421
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,919
Speaker 4: with that, Colts. Let's go to Rachel Nichols with the news.

422
00:20:16,520 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 5: No, no, no, turn on the news.

423
00:20:19,119 --> 00:20:21,040
Speaker 2: This is the herd Line.

424
00:20:20,840 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 9: News, Jason. This isn't a jet story, So I'm sorry

425
00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,679
Speaker 9: about that. JJ McCarthy stepped in against the Lions. He

426
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,600
Speaker 9: was sidelined, remember with that ankle injury for five weeks.

427
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:32,880
Speaker 7: He looked the part.

428
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:36,760
Speaker 9: McCarthy accounted for three total touchdowns helped Minnesota stop a

429
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:40,480
Speaker 9: two game losing streak. But here's the spice. After the game,

430
00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:44,679
Speaker 9: JJ posted this on his Instagram with the caption quote

431
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:49,200
Speaker 9: kneecaps are intact, which seems to be a shot at

432
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,119
Speaker 9: Dan Campbell's famous biting the kneecaps quote.

433
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:52,919
Speaker 7: Right, remember that?

434
00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 3: Yeah?

435
00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:56,680
Speaker 9: I guess we should also note that JJ blew out

436
00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,320
Speaker 9: his knee and his rookie years, so you know, the

437
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:01,919
Speaker 9: could maybe make the case it was about that, but

438
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 9: I gotta personally, I think this is.

439
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 7: A shot at Campbell. What do you expect to see

440
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,520
Speaker 7: from McCarthy in the Viking series?

441
00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 3: I kind of like that. Yeah, Rachel's weird.

442
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 4: He's had three starts, and we're supposed to like render

443
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 4: a verdict if he can't play, or he can't play,

444
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 4: we need to let it bake just a little, right.

445
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 4: I mean, they got a tough one this weekend against

446
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,680
Speaker 4: the Ravens. They're at home and I'm seeing Baltimore's favor

447
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:30,240
Speaker 4: by four in Minnesota. Ravens defense isn't great. Do you

448
00:21:30,280 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 4: think McCarthy is the guy there or do we just

449
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: we don't know it.

450
00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:34,800
Speaker 7: I think he could be could be great.

451
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,280
Speaker 3: I mean, Harball loves him.

452
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think they're gonna be fine with jj McCaw.

453
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:43,560
Speaker 3: I don't know if he's going to duplicate Donald's numbers

454
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 3: from last year.

455
00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 7: Right, Yeah, especially Donald's having success.

456
00:21:47,119 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 3: Let's crushing it in Seattle.

457
00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:50,840
Speaker 9: You tough to live up to, all right, Let's talk

458
00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,720
Speaker 9: a little Warriors. Jimmy Butler left yesterday's win against the

459
00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:58,240
Speaker 9: Suns with lower back soreness. Now, Butler came into that

460
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 9: game questionable. He ended up playing, but then he tweaked

461
00:22:01,480 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 9: his back during the game didn't return after halftime. Jimmy

462
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,879
Speaker 9: is currently considered questionable again for the Warriors game tonight

463
00:22:08,880 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 9: against Sacramento. Meanwhile, Jason Draymond Green is unlikely to pay

464
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 9: on the second night of a back to back. Steph

465
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 9: Curry has already been ruled out with illness.

466
00:22:18,080 --> 00:22:20,679
Speaker 7: Maybe maybe the same thing Colin has. I don't know,

467
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 7: maybe they've been hanging out together.

468
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:22,720
Speaker 5: I don't know.

469
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:23,359
Speaker 7: I can say.

470
00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 9: Look, it's obviously early, but the Warriors sit in sixth

471
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 9: right now in the West.

472
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,879
Speaker 7: Do you have concerns?

473
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 9: I mean, this is a much older roster and we're

474
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 9: already seeing, oh they have to sit out after a

475
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,920
Speaker 9: back to back or some injuries that kind of thing.

476
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,200
Speaker 7: I mean a back injury. That's an old man injury obviously.

477
00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:40,440
Speaker 10: Yeah.

478
00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, I Where do you stand on this whole sitting

479
00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:45,280
Speaker 3: out on back to backs?

480
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,280
Speaker 4: Because they had Austin Reeves and Luca do it with

481
00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:51,639
Speaker 4: the Lakers, They're not at.

482
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: The same age as Steph Curry and Draymond.

483
00:22:53,240 --> 00:22:55,639
Speaker 4: Ree I have no problem with this, and I know,

484
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:57,159
Speaker 4: like a lot of people are like.

485
00:22:57,160 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 3: Oh, you got to play.

486
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 4: Michael Jordan's out here talking about you got to play

487
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:02,840
Speaker 4: eighty two games, Like that's dumb. I want to see

488
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 4: Steph Curry playing meaningful games. Sorry, not November fifth against

489
00:23:06,600 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 4: the Sacramento Kings.

490
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 3: On a back to back.

491
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,560
Speaker 9: Yeah, and you know they purposely sometimes are like, oh,

492
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:12,520
Speaker 9: it's a back to back.

493
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,160
Speaker 7: And it's against the Sacramento Kings. We're going to dray

494
00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 7: Ron take a seat.

495
00:23:16,480 --> 00:23:19,200
Speaker 9: I'm okay with it because you want a guy as

496
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,360
Speaker 9: close to one hundred percent as you can get every

497
00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 9: time he's out on the floor.

498
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 7: And if you feel like.

499
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,440
Speaker 9: Back to backs put him into some sort of risk

500
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 9: because of his age, because of you know, injuries, because

501
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,360
Speaker 9: of anything, don't do it.

502
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:32,040
Speaker 7: It's not worth it.

503
00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:32,720
Speaker 5: It's not worth.

504
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:34,320
Speaker 7: Missing the guy missing the next month or two.

505
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,320
Speaker 3: Yeah. I only watch a little Warriors.

506
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:39,240
Speaker 4: I'm more interested in, like, you know, Lakers, Rockets, a

507
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:40,080
Speaker 4: couple other teams.

508
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,359
Speaker 3: But what have you seen every time I look at

509
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,000
Speaker 3: the box score, they're playing.

510
00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:47,040
Speaker 4: Like twelve guys. They're playing so many they're lessening the

511
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 4: minutes for Curry. It feels like good strategy. Dahn from

512
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:50,200
Speaker 4: Steve Kirk.

513
00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:53,040
Speaker 9: Yeah, I absolutely think so. Look, he knows they're an

514
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 9: older team. Yeah, they want to make a long playoff run.

515
00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,359
Speaker 9: Steph Curry's window is closing. This is sort of the

516
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,880
Speaker 9: last ride with Butler, with these other guys.

517
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:03,200
Speaker 7: And he wants to make it all count.

518
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 9: And he's getting more production from a lot of these

519
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,640
Speaker 9: guys than he did last season. And look, Jimmy Butler,

520
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 9: he might be sitting out tonight with a back injury,

521
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 9: but he's there's been thirty one regular season games since

522
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 9: he got there. He's played in thirty of them. So

523
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,240
Speaker 9: we maybe are talking about old man injuries.

524
00:24:19,280 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 4: But I listened to a record good with Butler, Curry, Yeah,

525
00:24:22,440 --> 00:24:23,080
Speaker 4: with the whole group.

526
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:28,880
Speaker 9: Yeah, all right, let's move over to Cooper Flag, oh boy,

527
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 9: with the MAVs. You know, Cooper is still finding his

528
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:33,200
Speaker 9: way in the league. The Mavericks are off to a

529
00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 9: rough start. Kevin Durant, though, after a recent game, said

530
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:39,879
Speaker 9: don't worry. The future is still bright for the rookie.

531
00:24:39,880 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 7: Take a listen.

532
00:24:42,600 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 13: I just think it's always good for young players to

533
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:45,640
Speaker 13: just be thrown into the fire.

534
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 5: Just go play.

535
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:46,879
Speaker 4: Oh.

536
00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,640
Speaker 13: Jake is an incredible coach that knows the game inside

537
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:54,159
Speaker 13: out as a player and as a coach, So you know,

538
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,800
Speaker 13: no matter what position here, I think He's just a

539
00:24:56,800 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 13: basketball player.

540
00:24:57,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 5: He's only going to get better.

541
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 9: Kadi went on to say that he really feels for

542
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:07,199
Speaker 9: Cooper Jason because Cooper's playing at guard after spending his

543
00:25:07,280 --> 00:25:10,080
Speaker 9: whole time prior to that at forward. Remember k D

544
00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 9: came into the league in college, he played the four

545
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,960
Speaker 9: of the five, and then he came into the NBA

546
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,200
Speaker 9: into two, So he knows that that's a real adjustment.

547
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:21,040
Speaker 7: You've been hiring Cooper Flag. What do you think of

548
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:21,320
Speaker 7: all this?

549
00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,399
Speaker 4: It's the narrative, and I try not to pay too

550
00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:26,160
Speaker 4: much attention to what else is going on in the media.

551
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 4: Sometimes it's impossible with social media. The narrative is Cooper Flag,

552
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 4: ain't it?

553
00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:32,840
Speaker 3: Oh this Jason? You said, this guy's gonna be all NBA.

554
00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:36,159
Speaker 3: He's nothing. We don't want. How old is he?

555
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:37,040
Speaker 7: Rachel eighteen?

556
00:25:37,080 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 3: He's eighteen years old? What are we doing?

557
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 4: He's got the worst plus minus since I think since

558
00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:44,920
Speaker 4: Lebron as a rookie when he was eighteen or maybe

559
00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 4: he was nineteen.

560
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,240
Speaker 7: How did that work out?

561
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,120
Speaker 3: It's gonna be fine.

562
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,080
Speaker 4: I think the bigger story is what's going on with

563
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,320
Speaker 4: Anthony Davis. I mean, like Cooper Flag is gonna be okay,

564
00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 4: ad Nico Harrison, where's my guy, super Max Christy?

565
00:25:58,800 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 3: What's he doing?

566
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,719
Speaker 4: I mean, Rachel, if I'm Cooper Flag, I'm begging Kyrie

567
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:04,720
Speaker 4: to come back. But it sounds like I think you

568
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:08,440
Speaker 4: said he's like this hope that. Oh Kyrie's killing in practicing. Yeah,

569
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 4: it's not like he's coming back.

570
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 3: In a month or two or three.

571
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,480
Speaker 7: No, no, no, end of the season. Maybe not at all

572
00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 7: this season.

573
00:26:13,800 --> 00:26:17,120
Speaker 9: And remember Nico, when he made the trade, the Luca trade,

574
00:26:17,359 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 9: he put the Mavericks on a much tighter timeline, right, So,

575
00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 9: trading for a player in Anthony Davis who is six

576
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 9: years older than Luca, he said he thinks the championship

577
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 9: window was in the next three years after the Luca trade.

578
00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,560
Speaker 9: That's part of this pressure on Cooper Flag, right, because

579
00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,560
Speaker 9: if you feel like these seasons are dwindling down when

580
00:26:36,600 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 9: you have promised to deliver a title. Yeah, I mean

581
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,679
Speaker 9: you gotta stick Cooper at guard because he is the

582
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,760
Speaker 9: best playmaker that you have out there right now with

583
00:26:45,840 --> 00:26:46,879
Speaker 9: everyone else injured.

584
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 7: It's not necessarily what's best for Cooper.

585
00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:51,840
Speaker 4: Those are rough stats you see on the screen, thirty

586
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 4: eight percent shooting, thirty percent for three, but he's an

587
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:59,240
Speaker 4: eighteen year old rookie, and their best well I guess their.

588
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 3: Best players ad are Kyrie. I don't know.

589
00:27:00,920 --> 00:27:02,719
Speaker 4: But bottom line is two of their best three players

590
00:27:02,720 --> 00:27:04,720
Speaker 4: are out like you can't.

591
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:05,520
Speaker 3: Expect much from him.

592
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 4: I think Cooper Flag is gonna be fine.

593
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,119
Speaker 3: I wonder if Nico Harrison is gonna be fine. But

594
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:14,399
Speaker 3: we will see the other time for another day. All right,

595
00:27:14,440 --> 00:27:15,320

Speaker 4: Yes, we are gonna talk a little bit of NFL here,

607
00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna wedge in some college football because our

608
00:27:52,119 --> 00:27:54,640
Speaker 4: next guest he knows the sport very well. Let's bring

609
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:59,680
Speaker 4: in Chris Felika from Fox Big Noon Kickoff, the Bare

610
00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:05,160
Speaker 4: Bet Podcast and most importantly, a long suffering Jets fan

611
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 4: just like myself. We got to talk about. Listen, there's

612
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,399
Speaker 4: a lot of fans out there, Chris, who don't get

613
00:28:10,760 --> 00:28:13,080
Speaker 4: what it's like to be a Jets fan. I mean,

614
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,679
Speaker 4: Packers fans have no clue. You've had three quarterbacks in

615
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 4: the last forty years. I mean New England Patriots. You know,

616
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,680
Speaker 4: the lose Brady and then oh you stumble into Drake May.

617
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 4: I'm just telling you, life is the Jets fan stakes.

618
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 4: But Chris, is this the greatest day in franchise history

619
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 4: over the last fifty years?

620
00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:33,800
Speaker 11: It's pretty optimistic. The one thing I worry about is

621
00:28:33,840 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 11: that weren't we kind of here in twenty twenty three?

622
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 11: All We're gonna have what seven top seven first pick,

623
00:28:39,520 --> 00:28:42,240
Speaker 11: seven picks the first two rounds in twenty next two years.

624
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 5: But it's like, didn't we pick Gary.

625
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 11: Wilson and Sauce Gardner and Jermaine Johnson in the top

626
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 11: twenty whatever it was in twenty twenty three and here

627
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 11: we are starting all over again. But I do think

628
00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 11: it does feel a little bit different this time. It

629
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 11: does feel like they are committed to the tear it

630
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 11: all down and build it back up. I think the

631
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:05,400
Speaker 11: good thing about the twenty twenty six draft is that

632
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,840
Speaker 11: I wouldn't feel obligated to go take one of those quarterbacks.

633
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,880
Speaker 11: I think if you wait until twenty twenty seven, I

634
00:29:13,920 --> 00:29:17,240
Speaker 11: think there's a chance that the guys available on that

635
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 11: draft might be better. But the fact that you're picking

636
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 11: up a late first round pick, if you want to

637
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 11: take a chance on one of those guys in locking

638
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 11: a contract, sure, but I still think the avenue is

639
00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 11: a crew assets, a crew offensive lineman, defensive lineman, lineby

640
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 11: real impact.

641
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:36,280
Speaker 5: Position players and go for that. But yeah, but you're right.

642
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 11: Remember when Brownie Nagel was the saver for the Jets

643
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,160
Speaker 11: and to j Any Testaverdy, We're going to the super

644
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:45,760
Speaker 11: Bowl after losing at Denver, and midway through the first

645
00:29:45,800 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 11: quarter talls that year he's in seasons over.

646
00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:50,800
Speaker 3: You're right. They did do that in the draft a

647
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 3: few years ago, twenty two.

648
00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 5: I believe.

649
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: Here's the interesting thing.

650
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 4: In two thousand, in Aaron Rodgers first year Chris, their

651
00:29:57,560 --> 00:30:00,200
Speaker 4: win total was nine and a half, the defense was

652
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:03,440
Speaker 4: I think third in the league. They were all set,

653
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 4: and then Rogers gets hurt. They finished seven to ten. Otherwise,

654
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 4: I don't know, are they a ten win team? Remember

655
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:11,480
Speaker 4: Rogers four years ago it was thought to be good.

656
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 11: I was all in that year, and I can remember

657
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,400
Speaker 11: sending Bob was Shoes in the voice of the Jets

658
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:20,160
Speaker 11: and a couple of other Jets fan Zamata like I

659
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,040
Speaker 11: am far too confident in August and like we know

660
00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 11: how this is going to end. And it lasted all

661
00:30:25,840 --> 00:30:28,959
Speaker 11: of what three plays, But you're right that year it

662
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 11: was lined up. They were good, they were legit good.

663
00:30:32,320 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 11: And maybe it would have worked that because they were

664
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 11: putting all put their trips in the middle of the

665
00:30:35,920 --> 00:30:38,560
Speaker 11: table for Aaron, and who knows what would have happened,

666
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,800
Speaker 11: But we'll see what happens. The good thing is that

667
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 11: Aaron Glenn has been through this in Detroit, so we

668
00:30:45,560 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 11: know is what it looks like. And there are obviously

669
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 11: people who may not think that Aaron Glenn should be

670
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:53,280
Speaker 11: the long term solution to a head coach based on what

671
00:30:53,280 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 11: we've seen this year. But I think also the kind

672
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:57,920
Speaker 11: of the sidebar to what we've seen from the left

673
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,840
Speaker 11: problem from yesterday is that they're committed to Aaron Glenn

674
00:31:00,920 --> 00:31:03,440
Speaker 11: for much more than this year and next year.

675
00:31:03,640 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 5: If they're banking on picks in twenty six to twenty.

676
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:07,840
Speaker 3: Seven, maybe he's Dan Campbell in three years. I don't

677
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 3: know very easily.

678
00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,880
Speaker 4: Yeah, as we transition to college football, let me ask

679
00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:14,600
Speaker 4: specifically about a quarterback to Jets could target, and that

680
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:17,880
Speaker 4: is mister Mendoza at Indiana. I was on his LinkedIn

681
00:31:18,040 --> 00:31:21,320
Speaker 4: page this morning because he has a robust LinkedIn page.

682
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,120
Speaker 4: This guy's already got a business school graduate. He's twenty

683
00:31:24,440 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 4: two years old. I think he's just hearted twenty two.

684
00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,960
Speaker 4: I mean, we're talking about a very intelligent, smart quarterback

685
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,200
Speaker 4: who I think has had four different offensive coordinators since

686
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:37,680
Speaker 4: he's been in college football. He sounds the part. He

687
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,239
Speaker 4: is super impressive on paper, you've seen him up close. Well,

688
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:42,920
Speaker 4: your thoughts on Indiana's quarterback.

689
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 11: I think he's very good. I would if I am

690
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,680
Speaker 11: the Jets. I am not taking him at the top

691
00:31:49,720 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 11: of the draft one, two, or three. I don't claim

692
00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:56,200
Speaker 11: to know everything about the quarterback position, but my co

693
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:59,800
Speaker 11: host Jef Schwartz on Barbat's podcast has kind of really watched.

694
00:31:59,560 --> 00:32:01,920
Speaker 5: Him a bit, being an Oregon guy and really breaking

695
00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:02,680
Speaker 5: down that game.

696
00:32:02,960 --> 00:32:04,960
Speaker 11: He's kind of said that a lot of Mendoza's throws

697
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 11: are kind of outside the hashes, outside middle of the field,

698
00:32:08,640 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 11: and that down the field, middle of the field kind

699
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,920
Speaker 11: of throw like he doesn't have that in his arsenal

700
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:17,160
Speaker 11: yet or he hasn't shown it, so I'd be a

701
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:18,040
Speaker 11: little hesitant in.

702
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 5: Taking him him that high.

703
00:32:19,760 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 11: I think this is going to be a great year

704
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 11: for a team maybe like the Titans, who doesn't need

705
00:32:25,160 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 11: a quarterback at the top of the draft to maybe

706
00:32:28,120 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 11: try and get when these guys are try to be taken.

707
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 5: But I think if you're looking at Indiana.

708
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,400
Speaker 11: College football wise, it just kind of feels like it's

709
00:32:35,400 --> 00:32:38,600
Speaker 11: building up towards the end of the year. Winner take

710
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,480
Speaker 11: all and Indy number one, Ohio State number two. Indiana

711
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 11: winner gets the number one overall seed. Win winners right

712
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 11: number one winner gets the undefeated season winner gets a

713
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,760
Speaker 11: Big Ten title and win, or whether it's Julian San

714
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,640
Speaker 11: or for Nanda Mendoza, they get the Isis of Trophy.

715
00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:51,920
Speaker 4: Hmm.

716
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 3: I like that.

717
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 4: Take Indiana at Penn State. I believe this weekend line's

718
00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,600
Speaker 4: creeping up. I was going to be that hero and

719
00:32:58,800 --> 00:33:00,000
Speaker 4: come out here and be like, hey, you got to

720
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:03,160
Speaker 4: take the points with the Nipny Lions a letdown spot

721
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: Mendoza and Indiana number two in the rankings.

722
00:33:06,240 --> 00:33:07,880
Speaker 3: Mendoza being the number one pick to.

723
00:33:07,800 --> 00:33:11,240
Speaker 4: The Jets do they lose focus going into Beaver Stadium.

724
00:33:12,480 --> 00:33:15,880
Speaker 11: I have a hard time seeing Penn State score points.

725
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:18,160
Speaker 11: I took Penn State plus the twenty and a half

726
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:20,840
Speaker 11: last week, got the first and goal, but ultimately I

727
00:33:20,840 --> 00:33:21,200
Speaker 11: don't know.

728
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:22,160
Speaker 5: How Penn State scores.

729
00:33:22,200 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 11: I think last week was a perfect example of a

730
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:27,880
Speaker 11: team that you've got a defense that can play ball

731
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:29,920
Speaker 11: and keep you in it for so long and then

732
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 11: finally when the dam breaks, there's really nothing you can do.

733
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:35,080
Speaker 11: And I feel that's kind of the same way this

734
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:36,040
Speaker 11: week's game will go.

735
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 5: I think Penn State will hang in.

736
00:33:37,640 --> 00:33:40,240
Speaker 11: There for a while, but ultimately I think the one

737
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:43,719
Speaker 11: thing I will say, though, if Sarat is hurt and

738
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:48,360
Speaker 11: the linebacker is hurt and they don't play, that could

739
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:51,000
Speaker 11: change things a little bit. But I just don't think

740
00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,640
Speaker 11: that Penn State's going to be able to score on

741
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:55,600
Speaker 11: all the points. But your point, your bigger point, is

742
00:33:55,640 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 11: well taken because back in the four team era, obviously

743
00:34:00,080 --> 00:34:02,400
Speaker 11: only have one year of the twelve team eight era.

744
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:05,880
Speaker 11: In the four team era, you used to see when

745
00:34:05,960 --> 00:34:09,799
Speaker 11: teams ranked three, four or five, six, seven, like they

746
00:34:09,800 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 11: were in the mix and they kind of knew where

747
00:34:11,880 --> 00:34:14,520
Speaker 11: they were. And the pressure now was on them, like

748
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:16,680
Speaker 11: the realization like, oh my god, we're in the playoff

749
00:34:16,760 --> 00:34:18,880
Speaker 11: right now, we control our own destiny. I can remember

750
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:20,719
Speaker 11: a year in Texas, A and M was ranked I

751
00:34:20,760 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 11: think fourth in the first playoff ranking. They went to

752
00:34:23,320 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 11: Mississippi States. I got a two touchdown favor and got

753
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:28,239
Speaker 11: beat by two touchdowns. So a lot of times when

754
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,919
Speaker 11: these sea teams see where they are and they see

755
00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 11: the pressure and they see the realization, it kind of

756
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,319
Speaker 11: gets to them, and if they haven't been down that

757
00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,319
Speaker 11: road before, they don't necessarily always respond the best way.

758
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I've had a great season college football gambling, and

759
00:34:41,239 --> 00:34:44,680
Speaker 4: you got to you can never overlook the look ahead spot.

760
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 3: You know they got Wisconsin next week, Indiana. I'm not

761
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 3: a big one. I'm gonna have joking. Let's quickly go

762
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:51,359
Speaker 3: to the SEC real quick.

763
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 4: The one complaint is there's too many SEC teams in

764
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 4: this first college football release. Would you agree or disagreement?

765
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:01,840
Speaker 4: I think I saw eight in the top twenty in

766
00:35:01,920 --> 00:35:02,840
Speaker 4: terms of rankings.

767
00:35:03,239 --> 00:35:05,959
Speaker 3: SEC's got a lot of good, but maybe not any great.

768
00:35:06,120 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 11: I think here's the thing that I think people have

769
00:35:09,040 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 11: a problem with, and they can't put the two thoughts

770
00:35:12,680 --> 00:35:15,680
Speaker 11: in their head and have them like standalone. The following

771
00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,640
Speaker 11: can be true. Both can be true. The Big Ten

772
00:35:17,840 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 11: has three of the best five six teams in the

773
00:35:20,440 --> 00:35:23,640
Speaker 11: country with Ohio State, Indiana, and Oregon, but the bottom

774
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 11: of Big ten is terrible. The SEC may not have

775
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,160
Speaker 11: an Ohio State or an Oregon or in Indiana, but

776
00:35:29,320 --> 00:35:32,120
Speaker 11: from one to nine, it's.

777
00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 5: Not even close.

778
00:35:32,960 --> 00:35:37,279
Speaker 11: So I have no problem with the SEC having a

779
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,160
Speaker 11: long list of teams in the ranking.

780
00:35:39,320 --> 00:35:41,080
Speaker 5: I think it's right. I think it's fair.

781
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:44,040
Speaker 11: I put out some numbers this week about how in

782
00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:48,160
Speaker 11: conference play, the number of conference games that winning to

783
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:50,960
Speaker 11: it with like a two touchdown favorite or a double

784
00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:53,560
Speaker 11: digit favorite with the SEC Big ten, like, it's not

785
00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:56,120
Speaker 11: even close. And again it could just be a yearly

786
00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,839
Speaker 11: cyclical thing. But at the same time, if you're looking

787
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:02,480
Speaker 11: at like number one or number ten in the Big

788
00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:06,120
Speaker 11: Ten being like UCLA and number ten in the SEC

789
00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,200
Speaker 11: being LSU, like, it's like a different it's a different sport.

790
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:11,520
Speaker 11: But I think in the Big Ten situation this year,

791
00:36:11,520 --> 00:36:14,879
Speaker 11: it's a little unfortunate because Penn State collapsed and bottomed out.

792
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 11: Illinois was a team people who were banking on. They

793
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:21,520
Speaker 11: weren't necessarily it, but they have a chance here. You

794
00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 11: look at the where the committee put some of these

795
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:29,279
Speaker 11: Big ten teams at the bottom, Iowa, USC, Michigan, like

796
00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,680
Speaker 11: Oregon kind of holds the key here to whether the

797
00:36:31,719 --> 00:36:34,120
Speaker 11: Big ten potentially could get that fourth bit in Because

798
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:37,120
Speaker 11: the USC can go to Eugene and win, that gives

799
00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:40,359
Speaker 11: them a big win. If Iowa gets a win this week,

800
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,400
Speaker 11: that's a massive win. Q dub can beat Oregon in Seattle,

801
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:45,759
Speaker 11: like Oregon is kind of sitting there in the top

802
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 11: ten right now. Was like the like the big shiny

803
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:52,000
Speaker 11: object in the sky for all these teams in the

804
00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 11: Big ten that are ranked in the playoff rankings that

805
00:36:54,560 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 11: potentially could get that quality win to catapult them into

806
00:36:58,080 --> 00:36:59,040
Speaker 11: the top twelve.

807
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:01,279
Speaker 4: You mentioned the whole I'm just gonna put it out

808
00:37:01,280 --> 00:37:03,760
Speaker 4: there is the line still six at home against Oregon

809
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 4: because that's a sneaky, dangerous game for the US.

810
00:37:06,800 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 11: Is the one thing I would caution people about here

811
00:37:10,840 --> 00:37:12,720
Speaker 11: is if you go back and look at the games

812
00:37:12,840 --> 00:37:17,440
Speaker 11: Dan Lanning has lost at Oregon, a majority of them

813
00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:20,520
Speaker 11: have been to a team which could throw the ball there.

814
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:23,120
Speaker 11: They've allowed like three hundred yards passing through the air,

815
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,759
Speaker 11: fifteen to sixteen touchdown passes in the seven losses like

816
00:37:26,920 --> 00:37:30,319
Speaker 11: ten yards in attempt. Iowa is not a team that

817
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:32,319
Speaker 11: is going to throw the ball up and down the

818
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:33,160
Speaker 11: field on Oregon.

819
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 5: It's going to have to be.

820
00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:37,200
Speaker 11: They're gonna have to basically what Indiana did the Indiana

821
00:37:37,239 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 11: Indiana game, close game, ugly it up, try and control

822
00:37:41,040 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 11: the line of scrimmage, force Mendoza to short froze, and

823
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:47,600
Speaker 11: not really give them the big play. I have a

824
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:50,680
Speaker 11: hard time seeing Oregon go in here and as Look,

825
00:37:50,960 --> 00:37:54,200
Speaker 11: everybody's popular underdog this week has been Iowa, So I

826
00:37:54,239 --> 00:37:56,960
Speaker 11: think that plays into Oregon's hands a little bit. I

827
00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,040
Speaker 11: would be surprised if Oregon went in here and lost.

828
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:01,080
Speaker 11: I think their defense show up. I think it's a

829
00:38:01,160 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 11: lower scoring game. I don't know if I want to

830
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,160
Speaker 11: lay the six six and a half. I think the

831
00:38:05,200 --> 00:38:08,320
Speaker 11: Iowa team total under sixteen and a half under seventeen

832
00:38:08,400 --> 00:38:10,200
Speaker 11: might be the better way to play this game.

833
00:38:10,239 --> 00:38:13,359
Speaker 4: All Right, we're contractually obligated to talk about Arch Manning

834
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,720
Speaker 4: because he had one good game. I think every TV

835
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:19,600
Speaker 4: radio show podcast has to talk about Arch again in

836
00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,240
Speaker 4: reference to the NFL. Hey, hey, maybe this is his

837
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:25,319
Speaker 4: Joe Burrow first year at LSU and next year he's

838
00:38:25,360 --> 00:38:28,279
Speaker 4: going to phote seventy five touchdown passes. But in all

839
00:38:28,320 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 4: serious is some Texas fans are unhappy with their college

840
00:38:32,120 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 4: football ranking.

841
00:38:34,040 --> 00:38:37,480
Speaker 3: I will just point out they go ahead, they shouldn't be.

842
00:38:38,719 --> 00:38:41,080
Speaker 11: I think Texas is in in nine and three. I

843
00:38:41,120 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 11: think where they are the committee. But people can have

844
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,160
Speaker 11: whatever paint of the committee you want.

845
00:38:45,160 --> 00:38:46,919
Speaker 5: And they did it right? Did they do it wrong?

846
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 11: Texas at eleven ahead of Oklahoma is where.

847
00:38:50,760 --> 00:38:52,800
Speaker 5: They should be. Okay, you look at Texas.

848
00:38:52,920 --> 00:38:55,879
Speaker 11: If they go nine and three, that means either they

849
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,680
Speaker 11: win at Georgia or they beat potentially.

850
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 5: An undefeated Tos A and M. They are getting a

851
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:02,920
Speaker 5: ton of credit.

852
00:39:02,960 --> 00:39:04,960
Speaker 11: And look, this is what we all talked about with

853
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:09,200
Speaker 11: the expanded college football Playoff. You should get credit for

854
00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 11: scheduling non conference games. Ohio State's clearly getting credit for

855
00:39:13,200 --> 00:39:16,000
Speaker 11: scheduling Texas. That's probably the difference as to why they're

856
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 11: number one. Texas, I think, is getting credit for scheduling

857
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 11: Ohio State. You look at they've got to win over

858
00:39:21,800 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 11: Oklahoma already, They've got to win over Vanderbilde. They add

859
00:39:25,320 --> 00:39:28,919
Speaker 11: a win over Georgia or Texas, A and M. Nine

860
00:39:28,960 --> 00:39:31,680
Speaker 11: to three with a top ten schedule in the country

861
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:34,520
Speaker 11: and a power rating through the roof and strength the record.

862
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:36,879
Speaker 11: I think at nine and three, Texas is super live

863
00:39:36,960 --> 00:39:37,880
Speaker 11: to make the playoffs.

864
00:39:37,920 --> 00:39:39,960
Speaker 4: We got one minute left last one, So let me

865
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 4: to that Texas point.

866
00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:42,560
Speaker 3: I'm going to be real.

867
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:47,239
Speaker 4: The College Football Playoff is a TV show. We know

868
00:39:47,360 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 4: that will Texas get a bump and get the edge

869
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 4: over someone else because of Arch Manning and what he

870
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 4: brings to the table, because we saw the TV rating

871
00:39:55,719 --> 00:39:56,880
Speaker 4: for Ohio State Texas.

872
00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,360
Speaker 11: I don't think that really comes into play with anybody

873
00:39:59,400 --> 00:40:02,440
Speaker 11: in this election room. There really is no affiliation with

874
00:40:03,360 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 11: an ESPN, ABC programmer in the in the selection room

875
00:40:07,600 --> 00:40:11,359
Speaker 11: right there. I think that's a little overblown. I get

876
00:40:11,360 --> 00:40:15,280
Speaker 11: it how fans would think that Texas Notre Dame Miami,

877
00:40:15,360 --> 00:40:17,440
Speaker 11: those brands kind of should be in.

878
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:18,600
Speaker 5: But look what happened last year.

879
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 11: Samu got in the playoff, Indiana got in the playoff

880
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:25,480
Speaker 11: over at Alabama or a little miss. So I think

881
00:40:25,520 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 11: it's a fun thing to talk about, but.

882
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:27,800
Speaker 5: I don't think it exists.

883
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:29,920
Speaker 4: I would keep an eye on that. I like that

884
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:33,120
Speaker 4: as a talking point. Chris Filika bear Bets Podcast Big

885
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:34,640
Speaker 4: nowon kickoff. Keep crushing her, buddy.

886
00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:35,799
Speaker 5: We will be good, Bud.

887
00:40:35,880 --> 00:40:40,680
Speaker 4: Thanks Chris Filika, good stuff. You know, Rachel, that arch

888
00:40:40,719 --> 00:40:43,640
Speaker 4: banning things interesting. We say that that doesn't matter what.

889
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 4: We just saw the World Series with the Dodgers the

890
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,680
Speaker 4: last two years, like people love stars. If you're in

891
00:40:48,680 --> 00:40:50,360
Speaker 4: that college football room and you've got the choice of

892
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,160
Speaker 4: arch banning versus I don't know. Another team from the

893
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:55,719
Speaker 4: big tener SEC. I think they're going to get a bump.

894
00:40:59,360 --> 00:41:01,160
Speaker 9: Not because they've I think the ratings will be better,

895
00:41:01,239 --> 00:41:03,680
Speaker 9: but they're a little you know, influenced.

896
00:41:03,160 --> 00:41:04,799
Speaker 3: By back a bright coming up next.

897
00:41:04,960 --> 00:41:08,480
Speaker 4: One big move that an NFC team did not make,

898
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:09,880
Speaker 4: and it saved their season.
