00:01:14,760 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: This is the first time I've been doing the show

34
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,199
Speaker 2: for over a year, first time I met Jonahs Knox

35
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: in person, first time he was actually in studio and

36
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 2: we had a crossover.

37
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:23,640
Speaker 3: So that was that was fabulous.

38
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 7: I get back sweat every single time.

39
00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:29,560

00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:33,559
Speaker 4: Thank you, Chris Burphet.

43
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 2: Do not trust me, do not rely on me. Done

44
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,160
Speaker 2: good to know. I wish I knew these things.

45
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 5: But life with Jonahs snippets right now you can just

46
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:45,760
Speaker 5: say in the balls at least a dozen times by

47
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:51,760
Speaker 5: six year old. Okay, Okay, I guess I take back

48
00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:53,000
Speaker 5: just being the most wonderful human.

49
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 4: No, I'm just kidding.

50
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 5: That was great. That was so wonderful. And again, no

51
00:01:56,200 --> 00:01:58,040
Speaker 5: truth to us saying he was the undercard.

52
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 2: No, that was wonderful. Again, like I said, you guys,

53
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,800
Speaker 2: this is such an elite college football lineup today. Can

54
00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 2: we just take a moment to recognize that Carmen and

55
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 2: I were talking about this on the car ride here,

56
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 2: because like months ago, there was this meme going around

57
00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 2: that was like, there's so many weddings on October twelve,

58
00:02:14,919 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 2: and there was all these sports fans like do I

59
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 2: go to the wedding or do I reject it? Because

60
00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,120
Speaker 2: there are so many incredible matchups on this day?

61
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's insane.

62
00:02:25,040 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 5: The happy medium there, I suppose is probably just like

63
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 5: I don't I wouldn't go to a wedding where I

64
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 5: think the bride and groom would care if I had

65
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 5: game up on my phone. But like there are so

66
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 5: many weddings that I have now gone to where I've

67
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,160
Speaker 5: had games up on my phone.

68
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:39,520
Speaker 3: A wedding tonight, that's.

69
00:02:39,400 --> 00:02:42,280
Speaker 2: Just like that's literally tonight and it's gonna happen, and

70
00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 2: they're in sports.

71
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,320
Speaker 3: Everyone that's going is in sports.

72
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 2: So like right, but like if you're I wouldn't be

73
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,920
Speaker 2: surprised if they had a TV with the games on.

74
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:50,920
Speaker 5: I just I have a brand now, and it's like

75
00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,680
Speaker 5: if whether or not somebody is in sports or understand that,

76
00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:55,800
Speaker 5: like they just know that if I'm coming to your wedding,

77
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 5: and there is football on.

78
00:02:56,960 --> 00:02:58,200
Speaker 4: I will be watching out.

79
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,960
Speaker 2: Sorry, yeah, mad phone going to be great, you guys,

80
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,119

105
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:09,560

Speaker 3: We also have the.

114
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:32,240
Speaker 2: Detroit and Cleveland game going on right now, but it's

115
00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: looking like Cleveland's running away with it now seven three,

116
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,039
Speaker 2: bottom of the eighth, so it looks like they're going

117
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 2: to move on to probably play the Yankees. But again,

118
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,560
Speaker 2: we're going to keep you up everything going on live

119

120
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:48,040
Speaker 4: The sc Yeah, that's live touchdown?

121
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 3: Se did that just happen?

122
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: The Red River River rivalry got out. I'm going to

123
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:53,360
Speaker 4: stumble over that all day.

124
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:54,920
Speaker 7: You can't help but Elmer Fudd that name.

125
00:04:54,960 --> 00:04:58,520
Speaker 4: I know the Red River rivalry is red River halfway through.

126
00:04:58,440 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 2: The Red River Red Rid No, no Red Red, I

127
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 2: should just say it that way.

128
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 3: Any red Yeah.

129
00:05:09,560 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 5: I Texas Okahoma scoreless through the first half of the

130
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,400
Speaker 5: first quarter.

131
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: Oh, we love an sc up over Penn State. This

132
00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:17,920
Speaker 2: is gonna be awesome, you guys. Okay, but let's start

133
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 2: with some postseason baseball because our championship series are almost set.

134
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,719
Speaker 2: Like we're just waiting for what one more inning in

135
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: this Cleveland Detroit game? See who plays? Uh the Yankees,

136
00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:33,920
Speaker 2: but they kick off tomorrow. Both New York teams were

137
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: the first to advance to the championship series, but the

138
00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,880
Speaker 2: best series so far this postseason was the Dodgers and

139
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 2: the Padres. And the Dodgers are once again the Padres Padre.

140
00:05:47,120 --> 00:05:50,599
Speaker 2: Game five at home, with the season on the line,

141
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,520
Speaker 2: could not have gone more beautiful than it did. Two

142
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:59,159
Speaker 2: solo home runs by both of the Hernandez's on the team,

143
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: Kik in the second, who now has fourteen career postseason

144
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,640
Speaker 2: home runs. That is more than a Rod Miggy Chipper Jones,

145
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:12,359
Speaker 2: Kik is mister October and his vibes are unmatched. I

146
00:06:12,360 --> 00:06:14,760
Speaker 2: don't know if you saw his little postgame celebration with

147
00:06:14,839 --> 00:06:18,400
Speaker 2: Gavin Lux the little hip thrust like pound, I don't

148
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 2: know what you want to call it, but like whammy.

149
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 2: And then like postseason is like postgame comments. Everything was insane,

150
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: and then you had the insurance home run by Tao

151
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:31,520
Speaker 2: in the bottom of the seventh. I had friends at

152
00:06:31,560 --> 00:06:33,680
Speaker 2: the game, sadly I was not there but texting. They

153
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:35,320
Speaker 2: were texting me as it was happening, like this is

154
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: the loudest I've ever heard Dodger Stadium. It's literally shaking

155
00:06:39,839 --> 00:06:42,839
Speaker 2: right now. And it was just a lights out performance

156
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:46,599
Speaker 2: by the Dodgers' pitching staff. The Padres were held to

157
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,480
Speaker 2: twenty four consecutive scoreless innings.

158
00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:51,839
Speaker 3: That's how you win a series.

159
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,680
Speaker 4: Nineteen Padres players retired in a row.

160
00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,919
Speaker 3: That's insane. That's insane.

161
00:06:56,960 --> 00:07:00,080
Speaker 2: And last night it all started with Yoshinobu Yamamoto I

162
00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 2: scoreless and hitless innings, and I think a lot of

163
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: people were a little.

164
00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 3: Nervous when they pulled him after five, like what are

165
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:07,799
Speaker 3: you doing?

166
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: He looks fine, But again, like the Dodgers bullpen and

167
00:07:12,080 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 2: pitching staff came in and just got the job done.

168
00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 2: And this is why the last like this series, right,

169
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:22,360
Speaker 2: their first postseason series. Is why you went out and

170
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:26,720
Speaker 2: you spent over one billion dollars on Shoheyo Tani and

171
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 2: Yoshinobu Yamamoto. It's the first time either of these players

172
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:32,120
Speaker 2: have been playing in this high stake of game in

173
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 2: Major League Baseball. And again history was made last night

174
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,080
Speaker 2: for the first time too. You had two Japanese born

175
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,280
Speaker 2: starters on the mound for the first time starting a

176
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 2: postseason game. We heard Otani talking about what you Darvish

177
00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:47,120
Speaker 2: meant to him growing up and how much he looked

178
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:50,360
Speaker 2: up to him. And there was this speech during the

179
00:07:50,480 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 2: WBC that Otani gave to Team Japan before they were

180
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:57,600
Speaker 2: playing Team USA, and a big part of this speech

181
00:07:57,760 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 2: was like, we cannot idol them today. You cannot look

182
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: up to these players today. Yes, you are going to

183
00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 2: know every single name on that roster, but if we

184
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 2: want to win, you have to learn to be an

185
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 2: equal competitor with them. And I have to imagine Otani

186
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,840
Speaker 2: had like a similar conversation not only with like Yamamoto

187
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,720
Speaker 2: and himself in that moment facing off against like you know,

188
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,880
Speaker 2: someone that was like their Japanese like Idol and Icon.

189
00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 2: That really set the stage for them to be able

190
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 2: to do what they're doing over here in Major League Baseball.

191
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:33,600
Speaker 2: But it has just been I mean, it was such

192
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 2: an insane environment and electric game last night. Rob Low

193
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 2: on the field, jumping up and down celebrating with Otani

194
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 2: was all of us.

195
00:08:43,880 --> 00:08:46,080
Speaker 5: I saw that he was decked out, had to toe

196
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 5: in Dodger gear. But like when it comes time for

197
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 5: the NFL, he just got He's infamous for his NFL hat. Yeah,

198
00:08:50,840 --> 00:08:52,480
Speaker 5: and I'm like, so you do know how to root

199
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,439
Speaker 5: for a team. You do have teams.

200
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,680
Speaker 2: He hugged Otani and was jumping up and down with

201
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: a I think.

202
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,319
Speaker 4: The better description of that is he tackled o Tom.

203
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:03,000
Speaker 3: It was close.

204
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 2: I got a little nervous. I was like, is he

205
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 2: gonna be okay? He's probably had a couple of drinks.

206
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 2: Otani's really big, He's really important.

207
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 3: Rob don't hurt.

208
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 4: Him because I think Rob Low literally jumped on him. No,

209
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:13,480
Speaker 4: he did.

210
00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 3: It was like a full tackle tackle.

211
00:09:16,920 --> 00:09:20,080
Speaker 2: But that was Yeah, it was just awesome, especially just

212
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:23,000
Speaker 2: like the clashing of like these two teams, like I was.

213
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:24,640
Speaker 5: Gonna say, I have to imagine that this was so

214
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 5: satisfying for the Dodgers just in general, because like the

215
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,640
Speaker 5: Padres have been either their level or better pretty much

216
00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:34,120
Speaker 5: this entire time. Like you even look at Yamamoto's pitching

217
00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:38,000
Speaker 5: debut back early in the season, they got stomped by

218
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,680
Speaker 5: the Padres in that game. And then like with the

219
00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 5: Dodgers pitching rotation hurting so badly, they have gone the second.

220
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 4: Best in baseball.

221
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,680
Speaker 5: They won this game forty two to twenty three since

222
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 5: the break, and only the Padres were better. So this

223
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 5: has been just kind of a breakneck race between these

224
00:09:55,200 --> 00:09:56,959
Speaker 5: two teams. And then to be the one to come

225
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:00,319
Speaker 5: out on top and to advance over these guys.

226
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:02,200
Speaker 2: Well, I think it also cut like this rivalry has

227
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:05,079
Speaker 2: really started back like twenty twenty when the Dodgers knocked

228
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,079
Speaker 2: out the Padres in the postseason and then twenty twenty

229
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:11,320
Speaker 2: two when the Padres knocked out the Dodgers in the NLDS,

230
00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 2: like the Dodgers have not Yeah, the Dodgers have not

231
00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:19,800
Speaker 2: had success with that number one seed of having that

232
00:10:19,880 --> 00:10:23,680
Speaker 2: kind of weak down time off and then advancing to

233
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,320
Speaker 2: the NLCS. It is really hard to do so the

234
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 2: first time that they've been able to do.

235
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:28,160
Speaker 4: He talked a lot.

236
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,080
Speaker 5: About it, Shoheo Tani was going to be one of

237
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,080
Speaker 5: the reasons that the Dodgers were able to overcome that,

238
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,120
Speaker 5: and I think that I don't think that there's.

239
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 4: A question mark now.

240
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 2: I think that he definitely was a big factor because

241
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 2: you hear everybody say, like it's kind of similar to

242
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,560
Speaker 2: like the Tom Brady effect. Once you have someone that

243
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 2: of that caliber in the building, everybody wants to elevate

244
00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 2: to that level, no matter like the.

245
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,440
Speaker 4: Belief of the best player in baseball.

246
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: Literally the best player there is in your clubhouse, like

247
00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 2: in the dugout.

248
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 4: But it really was the pitching that pitch.

249
00:10:57,760 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 3: Especially with like all the adversity they faced.

250
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,079
Speaker 2: They've lost their ace, their number two, Like, hey, they

251
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 2: lost everybody, everybody is on the il. But the other

252
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:12,600
Speaker 2: really cool thing I think that helped is that the Dodgers, again,

253
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: I don't know if you call it cool or not,

254
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 2: but I think it was important for them. They were

255
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,959
Speaker 2: fighting for that first place spot in the NLS all

256
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 2: the way till that last week of the season, and

257
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 2: that was I think one of the biggest issues in

258
00:11:24,360 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 2: years past is the Dodgers reached like over one hundred

259
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 2: wins way too early, and they clinched that first play

260
00:11:32,040 --> 00:11:35,640
Speaker 2: spot weeks before the season ended, and then it's like, yeah, okay,

261
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 2: you're playing. But it's so much different when you're like, okay,

262
00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 2: we're in the postseason and we're gonna keep a cruising,

263
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,840
Speaker 2: We're gonna play. This is great opposed to like fighting

264
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: for your life down to that last week, which is

265
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 2: why you see so many wildcard teams make it all

266
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,680
Speaker 2: the way to the Championship series because you're in that mentality.

267
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:57,240
Speaker 2: And with baseball, unlike any other sport, downtime is not good.

268
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 2: Like you're timing at the plate gets off by like

269
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 2: just a little, Like you just get.

270
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,600
Speaker 4: Out of a routine too.

271
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 5: I mean day when you look at like football, for instance,

272
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:08,520
Speaker 5: it's like you know that you practice Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

273
00:12:08,559 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 5: You know that your recovery days are Monday Tuesday after games,

274
00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 5: like you have everything all week. You have everything down

275
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 5: to the minute of what you're doing. In baseball, it's

276
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 5: not the case. It's not like you really have practices

277
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:21,160
Speaker 5: or anything like that.

278
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:21,839
Speaker 4: You're just kind of.

279
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,880
Speaker 5: Completely out of your routine. You're out of the motions

280
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,000
Speaker 5: of it every single day that you're off. So if

281
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 5: the more that is, the more you're out, the more

282
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 5: rust you have to shake off. It's very it is,

283
00:12:32,800 --> 00:12:35,560
Speaker 5: it's it's it's definitely a weird conundrum because like, what's

284
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 5: the line between recovering if you're injured and or just

285
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 5: need rest Because you look at a team like the Mets,

286
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,400
Speaker 5: who their entrance into the postseason was like the hardest

287
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:48,600
Speaker 5: it could possibly be. We joked so much about how

288
00:12:48,840 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 5: that was such a perfectly Mets thing trip. Yes, yes,

289
00:12:52,080 --> 00:12:54,679
Speaker 5: because like the Hurricanes again, so they played eight games

290
00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:56,560
Speaker 5: and seven days just to get in there, like and

291
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 5: then the.

292
00:12:57,120 --> 00:12:59,000
Speaker 2: Double header like that was supposed to be the day

293
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 2: off day off season started, and that's when they clinched

294
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: their postseason spot, like absolutely insane. So next step, as

295
00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:10,079
Speaker 2: you mentioned, Mets at Dodgers this Sunday tomorrow on Fox.

296
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 2: This is gonna be interesting and fun because the Mets

297
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:18,800
Speaker 2: have also been on a magical journey this season. I mean,

298
00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 2: they knocked out the Phillies to advance to the NLCS

299
00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 2: in four games, which, like the Phillies were a World

300
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:29,560
Speaker 2: Series favorite, they were a top three World about how

301
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:30,199
Speaker 2: they were happy.

302
00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:31,880
Speaker 3: I am so happy.

303
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 2: Oh buddy, both of them are down and mine are

304
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,160
Speaker 2: still great. And you gave me so much, you know,

305
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:39,839
Speaker 2: a hard time about it, Like what's what?

306
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 3: What can I say on here?

307
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 4: That's a.

308
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 3: I gave me a hard time about it.

309
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 2: I just like you have to feel so happy for

310
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,240
Speaker 2: the stars on their team. Francisco Lindor made the swing

311
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:55,480
Speaker 2: of a lifetime Grand Slam to send the Mets to

312
00:13:55,520 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 2: the NLCS. And it's weird because they've been labeled as

313
00:13:57,960 --> 00:13:59,880
Speaker 2: the underdog, but they have had the best record in

314
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600
Speaker 2: baseball since May thirtieth till the end of the regular season.

315
00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 3: They went sixty seven and forty during that time.

316
00:14:07,520 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 2: Like they're not an underdog beginning of the season, Like preseason,

317
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,920
Speaker 2: you could say that, say like a twenty four percent

318
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,440
Speaker 2: chance to make the playoffs. Last season, at the trade deadline,

319
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,040
Speaker 2: they sold off all their big guys, and Steve Cohen

320
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,320
Speaker 2: was saying, you know, we're in a quote rebuild year,

321
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 2: but like, you got so much young talent.

322
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: I think that was so much young talent.

323
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 5: That was the biggest part of this Met season was

324
00:14:27,760 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 5: going into it, nobody had expectations.

325
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:31,840
Speaker 3: About it, which also like it.

326
00:14:31,920 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 5: Almod I was gonna say, it kind of gives the

327
00:14:34,320 --> 00:14:36,360
Speaker 5: sense of, all right, now we're just playing with house money,

328
00:14:36,360 --> 00:14:38,320
Speaker 5: nothing to lose, nothing to lose, who cares. We're playing

329
00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,280
Speaker 5: free target on matter like no target exactly, and it's

330
00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:43,000
Speaker 5: all right, pressure is off.

331
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:44,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's just see how far.

332
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 5: We can take this thing. And you can see how

333
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,160
Speaker 5: well these players are starting to play together. And again

334
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:53,640
Speaker 5: you mentioned young roster. Yeah, they've made tough situations to

335
00:14:54,200 --> 00:14:57,920
Speaker 5: look easy, which is so not Mets like a usually

336
00:14:57,920 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 5: they make easy situations look tough. Ye, it's the exact opposite.

337
00:15:01,800 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 5: And that is I think what's so cool about this team.

338
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 5: And just like the way that they've clinched these series,

339
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 5: clinched the wild card birth, it's been almost magical.

340
00:15:11,560 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 3: It really has.

341
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,520
Speaker 2: I mean it's been magical since I'm gonna say it again.

342
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:16,880
Speaker 2: June twelfth, the day that they had Grimaced throw out.

343
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 2: The first pitch the Mets were.

344
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 4: Was grimas like riding the subway to the game.

345
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:26,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, car seat. Now at City Field they have a

346
00:15:26,200 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 3: purple Grimacy.

347
00:15:29,160 --> 00:15:31,440
Speaker 4: Away car. It was all picked out for this.

348
00:15:31,480 --> 00:15:32,680
Speaker 3: Is like, it's insane.

349
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 2: He has become like their unofficial mascot so has their

350
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: like OMG. One of their players came out with a

351
00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:41,840
Speaker 2: song called OMG and like played it after the game

352
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 2: and then it became like another one of their like

353
00:15:44,840 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: pump up good luck charms.

354
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 5: But again, like, I think it's so funny too because

355
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 5: Mets fans like don't know what to do with this.

356
00:15:49,760 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 3: No, we're used to the Mets metting. They are so

357
00:15:52,040 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 3: used to the Mets metting.

358
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:55,800
Speaker 5: And they are said, they're watching these games and these

359
00:15:55,920 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 5: these games come down to the wire and they're like, oh,

360
00:15:57,760 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 5: the Mets are gonna find somewhere.

361
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,200
Speaker 2: They're they're going to bet they're gonna screw this up.

362
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: But instead there are two stars. Pete Alonzo became the

363
00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 2: ninth inning hero for the Mets in the wild Card game,

364
00:16:09,600 --> 00:16:14,359
Speaker 2: and then you have Franciscoo Lindor with the insane magical

365
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: home run moment to send him to.

366
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:20,200
Speaker 4: The striking out Kyle Schwarber.

367
00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:23,440
Speaker 3: Finally, I love it. I love that so much.

368
00:16:23,480 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 2: This is going to be it's a rematch from the

369
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: nineteen eighty eight NLCS where the Dodgers went on to

370
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,360
Speaker 2: win the World Series. Kirk Gibson, Huh, my dad still

371
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 2: talks about listening to that World Series win on the radio.

372
00:16:36,360 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: When I brought him to his first Angel game to

373
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 2: meet Mike Sosha, he went up to go like tell

374
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 2: him about it, and I was like, Dad, take a

375
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 2: deep breath, everything's going to be okay.

376
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 5: We were literally just this past week we were out

377
00:16:45,720 --> 00:16:47,840
Speaker 5: to dinner, just having a bar hang my fiance and

378
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:50,480
Speaker 5: I and wait, we got talking to the guy next

379
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,320
Speaker 5: to us and he was talking about, you know, the

380
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 5: Dodgers and how exciting it is, and it feels, you know,

381
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:56,800
Speaker 5: just as exciting as it did. He's like, I don't

382
00:16:56,840 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 5: know if you guys were here in nineteen eighty eight.

383
00:16:58,120 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 5: I'm like, we weren't alive in nineteen eighty eight, but

384
00:16:59,560 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 5: that's it. And he's like, I don't know if you

385
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,960
Speaker 5: know like the call and he's never talking about I mean,

386
00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 5: that's something that this legendary still And when I worked

387
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 5: for the Dodgers, the only reason I really know about

388
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 5: it again because I wasn't alive yet.

389
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 7: Yeah.

390
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 5: The reason I know about it is because when I

391
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 5: worked for the Dodgers in twenty thirteen, it's plastered up all.

392
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 3: Over there everywhere. Oh, it's that giant, insanely.

393
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:21,960
Speaker 5: With his fist up in the air rounding the bases

394
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 5: is like right outside the Dodgers slophouse.

395
00:17:24,640 --> 00:17:26,280
Speaker 2: The first thing my dad like goes to tell Mike

396
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 2: Socio when I bring him to Angels is like I

397
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,120
Speaker 2: remember laying my bed holding the radio listening to the call.

398
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:32,080
Speaker 3: I'm like, Dad, breathe.

399
00:17:32,119 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 4: Everybody remembers where they were.

400
00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 2: Everyone it was like it was like one of those

401
00:17:35,080 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 2: So I am so excited for this tomorrow. It's gonna

402
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:42,160
Speaker 2: be why. I can't wait. We're gonna take a quick

403
00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: break here, But when we come back, can the Jets

Speaker 5: I appreciate Chris keeping the vibes going even though his

415
00:18:16,600 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 5: Detroit Tigers.

416
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:23,360
Speaker 2: Oh officially lost yet no, no officially.

417
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:25,800
Speaker 3: Ay BYU.

418
00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:28,119
Speaker 2: Game just came on where it was on the TV before.

419
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:31,400
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, okay, the Guardians are facing the Yankees

420
00:18:31,600 --> 00:18:35,679
Speaker 2: in the ALCS. It was an incredible run. Though you

421
00:18:35,760 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: got to be impressed with what they did.

422
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 8: It still hurts at the end because Tiger's always hurt.

423
00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:41,360
Speaker 3: Yeah.

424
00:18:41,480 --> 00:18:44,719
Speaker 8: I but as I've told people around, you're after twenty thirteen.

425
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,160
Speaker 8: I think there was a part of me that died

426
00:18:47,200 --> 00:18:50,280
Speaker 8: and never really came back, which was that with the Verlander. No,

427
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,520
Speaker 8: that was the Red Sox Alcs.

428
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 3: That was like the Verlander trade.

429
00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 4: Well, as I.

430
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:57,800
Speaker 8: Said, I had PTSD when they gave up a Grand Slam.

431
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,160
Speaker 8: Those two words mean something.

432
00:18:59,440 --> 00:18:59,920
Speaker 4: You look at me.

433
00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 5: How the Lions have now changed the narrative around being

434
00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:03,600
Speaker 5: the Lions.

435
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,679
Speaker 4: Maybe the Tigers are just taking a little bit longer.

436
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 8: So you just you know, well, now they have to

437
00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 8: spend money, which is something that Ilich's son has refused

438
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 8: to do.

439
00:19:11,359 --> 00:19:13,440
Speaker 9: I had someone from Chicago. I know exactly what you're

440
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 9: talking about. Yeah, it's a white Sox man, it's brutal. Okay,

441
00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 9: we got a little moment for this. We'll dive deeper

442
00:19:20,160 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 9: into it at the top of the second hour. But

443
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 9: big news this week, you guys, was that the Jets

444
00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 9: fired their head coaches Robert Sala after their loss in London.

445
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:34,119
Speaker 2: He was escorted out of the building, which could have

446
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:36,119
Speaker 2: been taken out of contact. It makes you wonder was

447
00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: he resisting leaving? Was this just the normal, like when

448
00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 2: an employee gets fired on site, they're escorted out of

449
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,000
Speaker 2: the building. But I have some questions like who knew

450
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 2: this was coming? And how involved was Aaron Rodgers in

451
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 2: this decision, because he made it clear that he wasn't.

452
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:54,359
Speaker 2: But I find it hard to believe that he didn't

453
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 2: know anything. And it's kind of insane if you actually

454
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,400
Speaker 2: think about it, that you're not going to tell your

455
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,880
Speaker 2: franchise quarterback that you're making this big of a move

456
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 2: or that it could potentially happen. And Jet's owner Woody

457
00:20:07,720 --> 00:20:10,000
Speaker 2: Johnson even said him and Rogers spoke on Monday but.

458
00:20:09,960 --> 00:20:11,560
Speaker 3: Never talked about Sola.

459
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,159
Speaker 2: But if this is the biggest new that's gonna happen

460
00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 2: the next day, there is absolutely no way because that

461
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 2: doesn't bring up like what, No, that's a lie.

462
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 3: That is a flat out lie.

463
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,400
Speaker 2: You're you're talking to your star franchise quarterback that you

464
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:30,480
Speaker 2: just gave everything to, you rolled out the red carpet,

465
00:20:30,760 --> 00:20:34,000
Speaker 2: You've literally put all of your money into Aaron Rodgers,

466
00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:37,679
Speaker 2: and you're talking to him the Monday night before you

467
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:40,000
Speaker 2: decide to fire the head coach on Tuesday morning, and

468
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,560
Speaker 2: you're telling me that you didn't bring it up once

469
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: or even tell him about it or give him a

470
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,960
Speaker 2: heads up or ask his opinion on it.

471
00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:51,760
Speaker 5: It's there are so many things that are just like

472
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 5: it should have, would it could have at this point

473
00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:58,119
Speaker 5: for the New York Jets. But I mean, there's absolutely

474
00:20:58,119 --> 00:20:59,840
Speaker 5: no way that that was not brought up and discussed.

475
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:05,800
Speaker 5: There's absolutely no way that Aaron Rodgers is sad about

476
00:21:05,880 --> 00:21:08,200
Speaker 5: this happening, because, like we go back, and I mean,

477
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:10,439
Speaker 5: actions just speak louder than the words. I know that

478
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:13,879
Speaker 5: they downplayed every single interaction that we saw, you know,

479
00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 5: back during training care, training camp, even before that in

480
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:17,600
Speaker 5: mini camp.

481
00:21:17,920 --> 00:21:19,280
Speaker 4: No, when your head coach.

482
00:21:19,080 --> 00:21:21,200
Speaker 5: Does not cover for you and say that you have

483
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:26,520
Speaker 5: an unexcused absence as the quarterback from mini camp, like

484
00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 5: that tells me everything I need to know because the

485
00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:32,119
Speaker 5: amount of things that teams sweep under the rug or

486
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:35,680
Speaker 5: cover for their players if they are all in together

487
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 5: and they actually have a good relationship, is astronomical. Like,

488
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 5: I don't think anybody realizes how crazy the NFL actually

489
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,280
Speaker 5: is when it comes to what actually happens. So there

490
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 5: is absolutely no way that there was not some sort

491
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:53,760
Speaker 5: of inclination that Rogers wanted this to happen. Woody Johnson

492
00:21:53,800 --> 00:21:56,119
Speaker 5: calls and says, hey, this didn't work out, what do

493
00:21:56,160 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 5: we need to do? Yeah. The irony of all of

494
00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 5: this is that there's a lot of reports that this

495
00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: had to do with Robert Sala wanting to demote Nathaniel

496
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 5: Hackett take away play calling play calling duties from him,

497
00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 5: and then the Jets fire Sala and they still demote

498
00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:16,280
Speaker 5: Nathaniel Packett. But my other thing too is I don't

499
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,280
Speaker 5: know how much that even matters at this point because

500
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers changes, first of all, Matt Lafleur when he

501
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,240
Speaker 5: was still a Packer, yeh copped to Aaron Rodgers changing

502
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 5: thirty percent of the place. Yeah, double that? Yeah at

503
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 5: least Yeah, if the organization itself is copping to thirty percent, like,

504
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:36,479
Speaker 5: there's just there's no way that it's not more than that.

505
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 5: So Aaron Rodgers is probably just kind of doing what

506
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,960
Speaker 5: he needs to do, and there's nothing wrong with that.

507
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 5: If you are on the same page as the rest

508
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 5: of your receivers, you've been in this system for a while,

509
00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,320
Speaker 5: they're used to you. There is an incredible amount of

510
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 5: intricacy that comes with playing receiver for Aaron Rodgers and

511
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: being one of his offensive weapons rusted. There are so

512
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 5: many different checks, There are so many differentiations and signals

513
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 5: and signs and everything that you need to have down

514
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:07,760
Speaker 5: because Aaron Rodgers is one of the best diagnosing quarterbacks

515
00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,080
Speaker 5: we have, given the fact he's been in the league

516
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:12,840
Speaker 5: for twenty years. Yeah, you he knows exactly what he's

517
00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 5: looking at, and so he will change not only plays,

518
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 5: like all quarterbacks will audible when they get to the

519
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:19,840
Speaker 5: line if they see something from the defense, Rogers will

520
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:23,959
Speaker 5: legitimately change individual proponents of a play. That's not changing

521
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 5: the entire play. He's just telling someone else. Tom Brady

522
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 5: used to this too, would just tell one of his receivers, yeah,

523
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:30,880
Speaker 5: you know you're supposed to run a seven, Go run

524
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:33,080
Speaker 5: a nine route now because I see this, that and

525
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:33,440
Speaker 5: the other.

526
00:23:33,880 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 4: If you're not used to that, it doesn't work.

527
00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:39,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, and that's why I don't think like whoever the

528
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 5: play caller is really matters at this point.

529
00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:41,840
Speaker 3: No, it's Rogers.

530
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 4: I just the whole thing just.

531
00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 5: Reeks, because we've just seen over and over again that

532
00:23:46,440 --> 00:23:48,680
Speaker 5: Robert Sala and Aaron Rodgers is not get along.

533
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:49,280
Speaker 4: No dude.

534
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,760
Speaker 2: The Rogers push of Sala on the sidelines as he

535
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:54,240
Speaker 2: was like trying to come close like a couple of

536
00:23:54,280 --> 00:23:55,840
Speaker 2: weeks ago, Like everyone's like, not a big deal.

537
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:58,000
Speaker 3: I'm like, that's a big deal. The look on his face,

538
00:23:58,560 --> 00:23:59,440
Speaker 3: that is a big deal.

539
00:23:59,520 --> 00:24:01,680
Speaker 2: We'll die a little deeper into that later because we

540
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:04,200
Speaker 2: have Jets Team reporter joining us in our two. But

541
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:05,880
Speaker 2: right now, let's check in with Brian Fenley and see

542
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 2: what's trendings.

543
00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 7: Alex and Carmen. It is official.

544
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 10: The Cleveland Guardians are your winners Game five alds against

545
00:24:14,840 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 10: the Tigers seven to three. So the Guardians are on

546
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:19,400
Speaker 10: to take on the New York Yankees.

547
00:24:19,440 --> 00:24:20,680
Speaker 7: Should be a really interesting series.

548
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 3: You're series to lose.

549
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 7: It's the Yankees, yes, no question. You've also got the Mets.

550
00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,320
Speaker 10: They're going to be taking on the Dodgers out west,

551
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,520
Speaker 10: and that's in the NL. But as far as college

552
00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:34,200
Speaker 10: football is concerned. We have a couple of marquee matchups

553
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:38,240
Speaker 10: taking place right now. Low scoring affair with actually Quinn,

554
00:24:38,280 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 10: you are just throwing a touchdown, a seven yard score,

555
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:42,439
Speaker 10: extra point pending.

556
00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:43,600
Speaker 7: It's six to three.

557
00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,320
Speaker 10: Number one Texas well at extra point penning against Number

558
00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 10: eighteen Oklahoma eleven twenty to go in the second quarter.

559
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:50,959
Speaker 7: That is the Red River rivalry.

560
00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,160
Speaker 10: Early in the second quarter, Number four Penn State has

561
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 10: the football, but they're down by eleven, fourteen to three

562
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,520
Speaker 10: at usc a team that is coming off a loss

563
00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 10: at Minnesota last week. Stanford is on the board, but

564
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,400
Speaker 10: number eleven Notre Dame ads on his score. It's fourteen

565
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,800
Speaker 10: to seven with the cardinal possessing the football midway through

566
00:25:11,800 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 10: the second quarter. There earlier Number one, excuse me, Number

567
00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 10: twenty one Missouri actsing UMass forty five to three. Number

568
00:25:20,600 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 10: ten Clemston Boston around wake Forest forty nine to fourteen.

569
00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:27,160
Speaker 10: K club Nick the Tigers quarterback three hundred and nine

570
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 10: yards passing in three scores. Number seven Alabama twenty seven

571
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 10: to twenty five against South Carolina.

572
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:34,879
Speaker 7: What a game it was.

573
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 10: Because South Carolina scored a late touchdown, they went for

574
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 10: the two point conversion, they could not get it. They

575
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,600
Speaker 10: went for the on sidekick, they got it, and then

576
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 10: with about forty seconds or so ago, they were inside

577
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:50,560
Speaker 10: Alabama territory. But as I work it back to you,

578
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 10: Carmen and Alyx, it was an interception.

579
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:54,280
Speaker 7: It's not supposed to work.

580
00:25:54,280 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 5: It's not supposed to work like that. It's not supposed

581
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,280
Speaker 5: to work like that. If you recover an on side's kick,

582
00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 5: you're supposed to win.

583
00:26:00,720 --> 00:26:03,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, imagine being a great Caroline of fan.

584
00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,199
Speaker 5: No, I mean I held out because it's Bama and

585
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 5: at the end of the day, again it's Bama. But

586
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,000
Speaker 5: so I wasn't getting like two my hopes up too

587
00:26:11,040 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 5: much that South Carolina was gonna able to knock them off,

588
00:26:13,359 --> 00:26:17,320
Speaker 5: especially given like college football doesn't want their darlings to

589
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 5: But like I just I can't imagine a Nick Saban

590
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 5: team being this chaotic, so that at least we have that,

591
00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,960
Speaker 5: at least we have that that at least Bama is chaotic.

592
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 7: He got out of there right in the nick of time.

593
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,120
Speaker 10: I feel like just just because he knew I think

594
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:31,240
Speaker 10: what was coming with this scene.

595
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:31,720
Speaker 4: Of course.

596
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,199
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, all right, thank you, Brian.

597
00:26:35,040 --> 00:26:37,320
Speaker 4: You's a good job on the Red River rivalry. I

598
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,560
Speaker 4: can't say you've done so much better than I just.

599
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,560
Speaker 2: Slower the bat the Red Red River. Right, you're Lizina

00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,400
Speaker 2: had the honor of spending a decade with her on

606
00:26:57,440 --> 00:27:02,320
Speaker 2: the sidelines. MLB Networks a lot of rizza. Oh are

Speaker 3: Alana.

610
00:27:08,600 --> 00:27:13,119
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness that game last night. You spent a

611
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,560
Speaker 2: lot of time with this Dodgers team. They're heading back

612
00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,480
Speaker 2: to the NLCS for the first time since twenty twenty one.

613
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:23,359
Speaker 2: What impressed you most about that huge game five Dodgers

614
00:27:23,400 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 2: win last night.

615
00:27:24,560 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 11: Well, first of all, it's great to be with both

616
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 11: of you ladies today. We can no longer say OMG

617
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,720
Speaker 11: though until after the message truly, that's fair.

618
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:33,680
Speaker 3: That's fair.

619
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 4: That's on the list of no goes.

620
00:27:35,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 2: Yay, Okay, yeah, I've been told I was just I

621
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:40,800
Speaker 2: just got got.

622
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:45,399
Speaker 11: As far as what I took away from the series,

623
00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 11: Let's start with Game four. After Game three, I was

624
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 11: pretty critical actually what I perceived to be a lack

625
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 11: of fire in the Los Angeles Dodgers and almost kind

626
00:27:56,359 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 11: of like a concession, like, you know what, Game three

627
00:27:58,560 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 11: is over, We're going to look forward to Game four.

628
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 11: And this was even before layofter Hernandez, who the Dodgers

629
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,760
Speaker 11: need to resign and extend by the way, before he

630
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 11: hit the Grand Slam. So I was a little bit

631
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,399
Speaker 11: disheartened by that, but they completely changed my mind in

632
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,880
Speaker 11: Game four, and I have to give credit to where

633
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:18,639
Speaker 11: credit is due. Dave Roberts managed the hell out of

634
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,720
Speaker 11: Game four. In Game five, every single thing he did

635
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,600
Speaker 11: was spot on in terms of what they needed to do,

636
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:27,480
Speaker 11: the way that he managed that bullpen, the way that

637
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:31,240
Speaker 11: he puts the lineup together. I was incredibly impressed with

638
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 11: and what I've been screaming at the top of the

639
00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 11: rooftops for is Keith k Hernandez to be in every

640
00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,760
Speaker 11: single lineup in the postseason, and you continue to see

641
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:42,400
Speaker 11: why and the way that they were able to come

642
00:28:42,440 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 11: through in Game four again with the fire, with the

643
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 11: right moves, with the great managing with the lineup, the

644
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 11: production from the bottom of the order, and then that

645
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 11: transitioned into Game five, where they only scored two runs,

646
00:28:54,360 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 11: but it was all that they needed. And again love

647
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 11: having Kik in the lineup. Dave did a beautiful job

648
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:02,080
Speaker 11: with the bullpen. And I also want to give credit

649
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,479
Speaker 11: to Yamamoto. I had not seen what I needed to

650
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,160
Speaker 11: see from him. I mean, having only pitched ninety innings

651
00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 11: this season, you know, wanting to go on an extra

652
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 11: day's rest. I thought I was going to see more

653
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,240
Speaker 11: of what we saw when he pitched in New York,

654
00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:17,959
Speaker 11: but it ended up being I saw more of what

655
00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:21,000
Speaker 11: he pitched like when they were in Korea. But he

656
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,160
Speaker 11: did a tremendous job yesterday, and I was very critical

657
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:27,920
Speaker 11: of him. So I think that he came up big

658
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,520
Speaker 11: when they needed him most, and he was at his

659
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 11: best when they needed him the most. And now they're

660
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 11: heading to the Championship Series want it.

661
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 5: The Dodgers come into the playoffs as a one seed.

662
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:42,200
Speaker 5: They have that time off. They are trying to buck

663
00:29:42,280 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 5: the narrative that that matters, that they can't come back

664
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:48,800
Speaker 5: from having those days of rest. There seemingly is a

665
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:51,960
Speaker 5: lot of pressure on the Dodgers then to perform, and

666
00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,360
Speaker 5: yet you have Key k Hernandez going out there and saying,

667
00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 5: we don't give a you know what?

668
00:29:56,520 --> 00:29:57,600
Speaker 4: What allows them.

669
00:29:57,400 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 5: To kind of play so free and ignore all of

670
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 5: the pressure and the noise and and really withstand especially

671
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:07,160
Speaker 5: all the injuries and the pitching rotation.

672
00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:10,280
Speaker 4: How what is it? What are the vibes there that

673
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 4: they love? Leadership? Who's the driving force in that?

674
00:30:13,800 --> 00:30:14,000
Speaker 2: Well?

675
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,760
Speaker 11: I always needs to be on roster in the lineup

676
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 11: and a huge part of a postseason performance. Because k

677
00:30:21,360 --> 00:30:23,480
Speaker 11: K now has more home runs than several of the

678
00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:25,800
Speaker 11: games is great that have played before him as far

679
00:30:25,880 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 11: as is concerned, and.

680
00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 3: We were, Maggie, it's.

681
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 11: What you know, KYK breaks to a lineup, it's just

682
00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:36,960
Speaker 11: something special. I mean, there's a fire that he brings in,

683
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,680
Speaker 11: an energy that he brings as was evidence obviously by

684
00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:46,240
Speaker 11: the language in the game. After Alex Rodriguez, then Miguel

685
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 11: Cabrera and then Schipper Jones, and Miguel and Schipper are

686
00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 11: Hall of famers, So I have to say that he

687
00:30:52,680 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 11: gets the Hall of Fame player, but he gets the

688
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 11: Hall of Fame post season player. And to look at

689
00:30:57,720 --> 00:31:00,200
Speaker 11: what that energy brings and it just kind of of

690
00:31:00,360 --> 00:31:02,080
Speaker 11: trickles down for the rest of the team. And I

691
00:31:02,120 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 11: actually was interviewing Matt tempt about three weeks ago after

692
00:31:06,080 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 11: they retired, you know, he retired as a doctor, and

693
00:31:08,160 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 11: they had to Matt kemp say at Dodger Stadium, and

694
00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:13,239
Speaker 11: he said, the reason that some of those teams that

695
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 11: Matt was on was were so successful is because of

696
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:20,200
Speaker 11: the energy and the aura that Keka brought. So glad

697
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 11: that he was in the lineup, and it paid massive dividends.

698
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 11: And the thing is too, you know, the Dodgers are

699
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:29,760
Speaker 11: always under pressure. The Doctor's season doesn't start till October first.

700
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 11: They're supposed to win the division every year. So if

701
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 11: you win one hundred and sixty two games and go

702
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 11: one sixty two and oh, if you can't advance deep

703
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:42,480
Speaker 11: into the postseason, the season's a failure. And getting over

704
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 11: the Division Series and getting over that hump and getting

705
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,040
Speaker 11: that proverbial monkey off of their back was so huge

706
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:52,320
Speaker 11: and now there's no reason that they can't go to

707
00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:52,960
Speaker 11: the World Series.

708
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:53,840
Speaker 1: I really believe that.

709
00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 11: I felt like if they got passed this turtle and

710
00:31:55,840 --> 00:31:57,800
Speaker 11: get credit to the Padres, they're a very good team,

711
00:31:58,200 --> 00:31:59,920
Speaker 11: but I felt like if they could get passed to

712
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:02,440
Speaker 11: there's nothing stopping this came out.

713
00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 2: It really is, and it's become one of the more

714
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,920
Speaker 2: like beautiful rivalries as of late. But when you were

715
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:12,040
Speaker 2: talking about energy, another player that I noticed in preseason

716
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 2: that really brought a different energy was Taoscar Hernandez and

717
00:32:15,120 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 2: it was with Shoeo Tani.

718
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 3: He I think was the first one to kind.

719
00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,040
Speaker 2: Of like break that barrier and have Otani kind of

720
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,040
Speaker 2: come out of his shell. You could see it on

721
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 2: social media, you could see it in the dugout. They

722
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 2: really developed this really beautiful friendship. And Tayo was my

723
00:32:28,560 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 2: player to watch on this team before the season started

724
00:32:32,040 --> 00:32:34,240
Speaker 2: and might have been one of the most underrated editions

725
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:38,320
Speaker 2: this offseason. What is he meant for this Dodgers team

726
00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: leading in and especially this postseason.

727
00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 11: Well, he's definitely been the X factor for me for

728
00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,320
Speaker 11: this series and he's also been, in my opinion, the Dodgers'

729
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,880
Speaker 11: MVP of the season. I realized that show Heyo Tani

730
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,200
Speaker 11: is going to be the National League MVP because he's

731
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:54,560
Speaker 11: creating categories that have never been created before. But as

732
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 11: far as the team is concerned, they asked for. Hernandez

733
00:32:57,520 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 11: has put this team on his back and it was

734
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,080
Speaker 11: the best by far one year signing from any team

735
00:33:03,160 --> 00:33:05,680
Speaker 11: in the off season having to asked for. Hernandez, who

736
00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,400
Speaker 11: wanted to play in LA would have had by year

737
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,320
Speaker 11: Deil's other places, but wanted to be a member of

738
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 11: the Los Angeles Dodgers because he knew there was something

739
00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,200
Speaker 11: special going on there and the friendship and that he

740
00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 11: has cultivated with show Hey and Alex. You know show

741
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:21,240
Speaker 11: Hay very well. You covered him as al So he's

742
00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:26,680
Speaker 11: a very different guy now in a Dodgers uniform. That yeah,

743
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 11: so he's a different player. He's starting to show his personality.

744
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,320
Speaker 11: I think there's a number of reasons for why that's happening,

745
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:36,320
Speaker 11: but I think that Taoster is just invaluable and what

746
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:38,680
Speaker 11: he brings not only to a lineup, not only to

747
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 11: the offense, you know, particularly to the bottom of the order,

748
00:33:42,160 --> 00:33:44,440
Speaker 11: but just what he brings as far as a clubhouse

749
00:33:44,520 --> 00:33:47,400
Speaker 11: and Doug out vibe. So he definitely was my X

750
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 11: factor for the series, and I he's certainly my team

751
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 11: MVP for this year.

752
00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:53,479
Speaker 3: Same, I'm so happy for him.

753
00:33:53,520 --> 00:33:56,920
Speaker 2: Before we let you go real quick and I'LCS starts tomorrow,

754
00:33:57,120 --> 00:33:58,400
Speaker 2: Mets at Dodgers.

755
00:33:58,520 --> 00:34:01,800
Speaker 3: What is your prediction? Who's taking it in? How many games?

756
00:34:02,280 --> 00:34:02,560
Speaker 6: Well?

757
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:04,560
Speaker 11: I think I think it's going to go to five.

758
00:34:04,880 --> 00:34:05,200
Speaker 6: I think.

759
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,720
Speaker 11: I mean, I really like the the Mets pitching staff.

760
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:12,080
Speaker 11: I think, you know, because they're a lot healthier than

761
00:34:12,120 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 11: the Dodgers are. Unfortunately, but the Dodgers never get a pass, right.

762
00:34:15,480 --> 00:34:17,520
Speaker 11: Nobody feels sorry for them, nor should they. With that

763
00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:20,040
Speaker 11: payroll and the ability to get those types of players,

764
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 11: No one's going to feel sorry for LA. But I

765
00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:25,680
Speaker 11: do think the Dodgers take it in five. It's huge

766
00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:27,640
Speaker 11: that they have home field, so all those you know,

767
00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:30,399
Speaker 11: those those pivotal games one, three, and five, those types

768
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:34,320
Speaker 11: of things, you know, have seven games. Rather, I apologize

769
00:34:34,320 --> 00:34:36,719
Speaker 11: the seven game series, so you know, so.

770
00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:37,400
Speaker 1: It's what is it?

771
00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 12: Two?

772
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:38,239
Speaker 6: Three to two?

773
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 11: However that goes, But yeah, I'm going to say Dodgers

774
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,960
Speaker 11: take it. I'm still going to say five, even though

775
00:34:43,960 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 11: it's a seven game series.

776
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:48,839
Speaker 2: I love it so much. Alana, thank you so much

777
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:52,560
Speaker 2: for joining the show. I enjoy everything this postseason.

778
00:34:52,640 --> 00:34:53,920
Speaker 4: We love you. Thanks a long Wow.

779
00:34:54,000 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 11: I love you guys too.

780
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 6: Thanks Alex.

781
00:34:55,440 --> 00:34:56,880
Speaker 11: Great to see you both. Thank you guys.

782
00:34:56,920 --> 00:34:58,880
Speaker 2: Always all right, guys, and we come back. It is

783
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,879
Speaker 2: time for the dudes and the don't in sports. You're

Speaker 2: But the good news is we're here. We have had

946
00:41:32,400 --> 00:41:36,480
Speaker 2: some incredible games. Just happy USC's up seventeen six over

947
00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:39,160
Speaker 2: number four Penn State right now. I was invited to

948
00:41:39,239 --> 00:41:41,839
Speaker 2: that game this afternoon, but obviously I love being here

949
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:42,440
Speaker 2: with you guys.

950
00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:45,759
Speaker 3: So here we are and we're watching it instead, which

951
00:41:45,800 --> 00:41:46,719
Speaker 3: I love. It's been a day.

952
00:41:46,760 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 2: Can I also say, like a little off topic here,

953
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,399
Speaker 2: there's been a meme that's been taking over our day.

954
00:41:50,760 --> 00:41:53,320
Speaker 3: Carmen. You posted it earlier, and it's been now sent.

955
00:41:53,160 --> 00:41:55,920
Speaker 2: To me four different times by my husband and friends

956
00:41:55,920 --> 00:41:59,520
Speaker 2: and family members because everybody knows and the meme is

957
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,640
Speaker 2: to this day, it bothers me greatly if the TV's

958
00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:05,760
Speaker 2: volume isn't set to an even number or multiples of five.

959
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:08,919
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm a multiple five, how many I'm an even number.

960
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:13,120
Speaker 2: I cannot get comfortable in any situation if the volume

961
00:42:13,719 --> 00:42:15,160
Speaker 2: or like anything that I'm.

962
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:17,560
Speaker 3: Putting on numbers, like the air conditioning, any kind of editing.

963
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 5: Right, if I not control over what I'm setting it

964
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,480
Speaker 5: to me an even number, I try again. I'm a

965
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:27,640
Speaker 5: multiple of five, girly, but that's not always possible. And

966
00:42:27,719 --> 00:42:29,319
Speaker 5: so like if it's you know, it's just too loud

967
00:42:29,360 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 5: or it's too quiet, whatever, so I will I have,

968
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:33,920
Speaker 5: But then I default even numbers. But it always has

969
00:42:33,960 --> 00:42:36,200
Speaker 5: to be I literally told you Alex off Air that

970
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:38,840
Speaker 5: I wanted to like move my wedding up to twenty

971
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:41,799
Speaker 5: twenty five just so I could have an anniversary. I'm

972
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:44,080
Speaker 5: not doing that about that crazy, but I mean, why not?

973
00:42:44,560 --> 00:42:47,640
Speaker 5: It would be great to have like your yeah, five, ten, fifteen,

974
00:42:47,680 --> 00:42:50,800
Speaker 5: twenty year anniversary. Ye, you know, lining up on multiples

975
00:42:50,840 --> 00:42:53,399
Speaker 5: of five. He would scratch my brain in such a.

976
00:42:53,360 --> 00:42:56,960
Speaker 3: Good I love that. That makes me think of dominoes. Oh yeah,

00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:58,280
Speaker 3: because everything's in fives.

Speaker 2: We have Jets team reporter Caroline Hendershot joining us in

987
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 2: about thirty minutes to give us the inside scoop on

988
00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:24,640
Speaker 2: the vibes in the building since they fired their head coach, Robert.

989
00:43:24,320 --> 00:43:25,280
Speaker 3: Sala this week.

990
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,120
Speaker 2: Who We've got questions and I'm excited to just kind

991
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:30,120
Speaker 2: of get a vibe check.

992
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,799
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's a firing a head coach when you have

993
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 5: when the Jets themselves and aspiration.

994
00:43:36,800 --> 00:43:39,160
Speaker 3: And you're not having a horrible season. It's not going

995
00:43:39,239 --> 00:43:40,240
Speaker 3: the way you expect.

996
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:43,880
Speaker 5: No, it's not like you're win list and the defense

997
00:43:44,160 --> 00:43:46,200
Speaker 5: is top five in every major defensive metric.

998
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:48,640
Speaker 3: It's it's just mind blowing.

999
00:43:48,800 --> 00:43:52,719
Speaker 5: I don't there's no precedent for uh inter around head

1000
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,239
Speaker 5: coach taking over and then making the playoffs. And this

1001
00:43:55,360 --> 00:43:58,480
Speaker 5: is like the expectation the Jets, the expectation they have

1002
00:43:58,520 --> 00:43:59,960
Speaker 5: of themselves is super Bowl.

1003
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:04,200
Speaker 4: Yeah. I think it needed to happen. I just die.

1004
00:44:04,200 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 4: I don't know why it happened.

1005
00:44:05,239 --> 00:44:08,840
Speaker 3: Now we'll get we'll talk to Caroline. Yeah, in just

1006
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:09,399
Speaker 3: a little bit.

1007
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 2: But let's kick off our two with a game we

1008
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:15,319
Speaker 2: called can they Can they keep it going or can

1009
00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:19,719
Speaker 2: they turn it around? So we're gonna start with the

1010
00:44:19,719 --> 00:44:24,719
Speaker 2: Bengals season. Can they turn it around? Because this has

1011
00:44:24,760 --> 00:44:27,400
Speaker 2: been one of the most shocking and disappointing starts to

1012
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:30,919
Speaker 2: a season, one in four, bottom of the AFC North,

1013
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,200
Speaker 2: worst start to Joe Burrow's career, and especially when you

1014
00:44:34,320 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 2: have one of the elite quarterbacks in the league, Joe Burrow,

1015
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:40,520
Speaker 2: who hasn't been playing poorly?

1016
00:44:40,800 --> 00:44:41,320
Speaker 4: Are you kidding?

1017
00:44:41,360 --> 00:44:44,680
Speaker 5: He's been playing out of his mind. They out of

1018
00:44:44,719 --> 00:44:49,160
Speaker 5: his mind out. You cannot put any of this Burrow,

1019
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:49,760
Speaker 5: It can't.

1020
00:44:49,760 --> 00:44:54,200
Speaker 2: But it's just the defense just cannot cannot hold it.

1021
00:44:54,239 --> 00:44:57,400
Speaker 2: And it's weird because Big lou is a great defensive

1022
00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 2: coordinator in Big Louie Trust. But they are thirty four

1023
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:03,640
Speaker 2: in points allowed per game Banthers the only team that's worse,

1024
00:45:04,080 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: and twenty six in yards allowed per game.

1025
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,800
Speaker 3: They've only had six sacks all season.

1026
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 4: I just it's just it's second worse in the league.

1027
00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:17,560
Speaker 2: It's tough because all four of their losses, remember, have

1028
00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:20,000
Speaker 2: been one score game, so they've been in it.

1029
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:20,640
Speaker 3: They have been.

1030
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:25,160
Speaker 2: They should have been able to win at least three

1031
00:45:25,160 --> 00:45:28,439
Speaker 2: of those four losses. So I mean, can they turn

1032
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:31,680
Speaker 2: it around? Can they turn it around? They have to,

1033
00:45:32,440 --> 00:45:37,239
Speaker 2: they have to, but they are they're not. Only is

1034
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:39,840
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow playing out of his mind again, tops or

1035
00:45:40,160 --> 00:45:44,480
Speaker 2: top three in every major quarterback statistic that matters. Then

1036
00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:47,520
Speaker 2: you have Jamar Chase has leads the league with two

1037
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty four yards after the catch. He has

1038
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:51,560
Speaker 2: four or ninety three receiving yards, which is second in

1039
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,680
Speaker 2: the league. And then you have t Higgins two, who

1040
00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,440
Speaker 2: you know, got a slow start to the season but

1041
00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,560
Speaker 2: has made up for that. You're gonna have the opportunity

1042
00:45:59,560 --> 00:46:01,560
Speaker 2: for a get game against these New York Giants.

1043
00:46:01,680 --> 00:46:04,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, you are getting Here's the big thing that I think.

1044
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,880
Speaker 5: Matters for the defense in particular, because the defense is

1045
00:46:06,880 --> 00:46:09,239
Speaker 5: thirty first and third down rate. They have, like you said,

1046
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,160
Speaker 5: they're worse than the league when it comes to getting pressure,

1047
00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:16,480
Speaker 5: getting sacks. It's not good and the Giants have not

1048
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:18,800
Speaker 5: a great offensive line, so you should have an opportunity

1049
00:46:18,800 --> 00:46:21,240
Speaker 5: to here. What matters I think here is the Bengals

1050
00:46:21,320 --> 00:46:23,719
Speaker 5: defense lost DJ Reader. I think that was such an

1051
00:46:23,760 --> 00:46:27,040
Speaker 5: underrated loss for them because it's been an underrated addition

1052
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,520
Speaker 5: for the Detroit Lions. You are getting Sheldon Rankins back

1053
00:46:30,560 --> 00:46:33,719
Speaker 5: on the interior of that defensive line. That should, hopefully,

1054
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:35,920
Speaker 5: I don't know if it'll happen for this game, necessarily

1055
00:46:35,960 --> 00:46:36,959
Speaker 5: because he's just coming back from.

1056
00:46:36,840 --> 00:46:37,440
Speaker 4: Injury, but.

1057
00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,279
Speaker 5: It should open things up for Trey Hendrickson, who is

1058
00:46:41,360 --> 00:46:44,160
Speaker 5: one of the best defensive ends in the league. He

1059
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:46,560
Speaker 5: has not been as effective, but it's because he is

1060
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:51,879
Speaker 5: literally doing this by himself. He cannot offensive lines set

1061
00:46:51,920 --> 00:46:55,239
Speaker 5: their protections to him. They make sure to account for him.

1062
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:58,239
Speaker 5: He's getting double teamed on every single snap. I mean

1063
00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:03,040
Speaker 5: that's hyperbole, but hoping that when you add Seldon Rankins

1064
00:47:03,080 --> 00:47:05,880
Speaker 5: back into the mix here that that will open some

1065
00:47:05,920 --> 00:47:08,719
Speaker 5: things up. He'll command some attention on the interior. That'll

1066
00:47:08,719 --> 00:47:11,560
Speaker 5: give Trey Hendrickson more one on ones, more favorable matchups

1067
00:47:11,760 --> 00:47:13,279
Speaker 5: so that he can go out there and win and

1068
00:47:13,360 --> 00:47:16,640
Speaker 5: get to the quarterback, get to Daniel Jones, get to

1069
00:47:16,760 --> 00:47:17,880
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones.

1070
00:47:18,160 --> 00:47:19,439
Speaker 4: You have to win this game.

1071
00:47:19,800 --> 00:47:20,920
Speaker 3: I mean I think the next time.

1072
00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:22,520
Speaker 4: This is why wins are in a quarterback stat.

1073
00:47:22,520 --> 00:47:25,000
Speaker 2: By the way, Yeah, but I think the next two

1074
00:47:25,040 --> 00:47:28,880
Speaker 2: games are must wins at Giants tomorrow, You're at Brown's next.

1075
00:47:28,680 --> 00:47:30,879
Speaker 4: Weekend and must win mode until further notice.

1076
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,480
Speaker 2: You need to win and move up in the division.

1077
00:47:32,480 --> 00:47:36,840
Speaker 2: I mean, then you have Eagles at home, winnable Raiders

1078
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:40,160
Speaker 2: at home, Like, can they turn it around? I think

1079
00:47:40,200 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 2: they can, but it starts tomorrow. If they don't tomorrow,

1080
00:47:44,400 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 2: then it becomes more of a mental breakdown.

1081
00:47:46,960 --> 00:47:49,080
Speaker 3: I think of just no.

1082
00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:50,759
Speaker 4: I mean, you don't win tomorrow, you don't win tomorrow,

1083
00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:51,480
Speaker 4: you're out of the playoffs.

1084
00:47:51,480 --> 00:47:51,960
Speaker 3: You're done.

1085
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 4: You're done.

1086
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,040
Speaker 3: You're done, You're done.

1087
00:47:54,280 --> 00:47:58,480
Speaker 5: And you are wasting an incredible performance by Joe Burrow

1088
00:47:58,840 --> 00:48:00,880
Speaker 5: and his top receivers.

1089
00:48:00,280 --> 00:48:03,000
Speaker 4: And this offense in general. Yeah, it's.

1090
00:48:04,880 --> 00:48:08,640
Speaker 5: Again the biggest, the biggest example of why wins are

1091
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:11,440
Speaker 5: not a quarterback stat, because if wins were, if wins

1092
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:14,920
Speaker 5: only mattered on the quarterback, yeah, this team would be Oh.

1093
00:48:14,800 --> 00:48:17,520
Speaker 3: He said, his top three in all major quarterbacks.

1094
00:48:17,160 --> 00:48:20,160
Speaker 5: All major quarterback metrics that matter. Yeah, like EPA per play.

1095
00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,440
Speaker 5: He's got the most touchdowns of the passing touchdowns of anybody.

1096
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:26,919
Speaker 5: He's being extraordinarily productive. This team is averaging around thirty

1097
00:48:26,960 --> 00:48:29,480
Speaker 5: points a game. That should be enough.

1098
00:48:29,640 --> 00:48:30,160
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1099
00:48:30,239 --> 00:48:31,520
Speaker 4: When you are averaging.

1100
00:48:31,160 --> 00:48:34,680
Speaker 5: Almost thirty points a game, that should be enough and

1101
00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:36,239
Speaker 5: this defense is giving up more than.

1102
00:48:36,239 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 3: That, Yeah, that's not good. Okay, let's switch gears.

1103
00:48:41,440 --> 00:48:46,480
Speaker 2: To a positive. The Vikings. Who can they keep it going?

1104
00:48:46,719 --> 00:48:49,960
Speaker 2: The Vikings have been red hot five and zero. Only

1105
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:53,040
Speaker 2: two teams still undefeated. That's the Vikings and the Chiefs.

1106
00:48:53,080 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 2: And this has been an incredible come back year for

1107
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,399
Speaker 2: Sam Darnold, the best season of his career. He's tied

1108
00:48:59,440 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: for a second in PAS touchdowns, seventh and pass the ratings.

1109
00:49:02,239 --> 00:49:03,120
Speaker 3: I mean, he hasn't been.

1110
00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:06,400
Speaker 2: A full time starter in years and didn't have success

1111
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:08,200
Speaker 2: as a full time starter when he was with the

1112
00:49:08,280 --> 00:49:11,239
Speaker 2: Jets or with the Panthers, and was the backup for

1113
00:49:11,239 --> 00:49:12,319
Speaker 2: the forty nine ers last year.

1114
00:49:12,360 --> 00:49:14,480
Speaker 3: One of the two teams. It's almost like a rehab

1115
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:14,960
Speaker 3: for players.

1116
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:17,040
Speaker 2: I think the other teams, the Rams when they go

1117
00:49:17,160 --> 00:49:19,200
Speaker 2: to these teams, as we saw with Baker Mayfield when

1118
00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:20,600
Speaker 2: he went and was the backup for the Rams. You

1119
00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:23,439
Speaker 2: kind of get this like resurgence. You're under a great

1120
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:26,040
Speaker 2: coaching staff as well, So can they keep this up?

1121
00:49:26,120 --> 00:49:29,479
Speaker 2: Can the Vikings keep it up? They have a bye

1122
00:49:29,480 --> 00:49:32,920
Speaker 2: this week, but then the next game back home against

1123
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:37,120
Speaker 2: the Lions is gonna be a big, a big test.

1124
00:49:37,160 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 3: They will be great.

1125
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:41,440
Speaker 2: But they did beat San Francisco Anne Houston, which was

1126
00:49:41,480 --> 00:49:45,000
Speaker 2: also I think like yeah true, and Green Bay.

1127
00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,040
Speaker 3: I think they can keep this going.

1128
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:53,400
Speaker 2: Next four games or home versus Lions, at Rams, versus

1129
00:49:53,400 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: Colts at Jags, they have a chance to easily at

1130
00:49:56,800 --> 00:49:58,400
Speaker 2: least take two of those.

1131
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:04,960
Speaker 3: Pssibly three. But they look good. Everything is clicking.

1132
00:50:05,000 --> 00:50:08,120
Speaker 5: They look unstoppable at this point. I mean you look

1133
00:50:08,160 --> 00:50:10,279
Speaker 5: at just the totality of the team in general. Like

1134
00:50:10,320 --> 00:50:12,360
Speaker 5: Sam Donald, I think is one of the most pleasant

1135
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:17,160
Speaker 5: surprises of this season. He's again another example that we

1136
00:50:17,200 --> 00:50:19,719
Speaker 5: see that initial situation for a quarterback, no matter what,

1137
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,560
Speaker 5: like when they're taking what's like that matters so much.

1138
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:26,800
Speaker 2: The team, the coach, the coach, the weapons, stry between

1139
00:50:26,840 --> 00:50:27,880
Speaker 2: the coach and the quarterback.

1140
00:50:27,960 --> 00:50:31,799
Speaker 5: Everything matters like in the initial and we've seen it

1141
00:50:31,840 --> 00:50:34,959
Speaker 5: now in so many like Baker Mayfield's another example, even

1142
00:50:35,040 --> 00:50:39,080
Speaker 5: Jared Goff to an extent, there's so much that matters initially,

1143
00:50:39,200 --> 00:50:41,399
Speaker 5: and Sam Donald is just the latest that we've seen.

1144
00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:44,520
Speaker 5: He's under Kevin O'Connell, who I think is one of

1145
00:50:44,560 --> 00:50:48,120
Speaker 5: the best coaches in the league all purpose. He's one

1146
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,440
Speaker 5: of the best offensive play callers in the league, and

1147
00:50:50,520 --> 00:50:53,840
Speaker 5: he's in it the best tandem of play callers in

1148
00:50:53,880 --> 00:50:57,680
Speaker 5: the league, and that is with Brian Flores, who just

1149
00:50:57,960 --> 00:51:02,920
Speaker 5: put this Jets offensive line in a blender in London.

1150
00:51:03,360 --> 00:51:06,480
Speaker 5: Aaron Rodgers himself talked on the McAfee show this week

1151
00:51:06,719 --> 00:51:09,000
Speaker 5: just about all the stuff that Brian Flores was doing,

1152
00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:12,120
Speaker 5: especially on those early downs, and the fact that there

1153
00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:15,719
Speaker 5: was there's so much shifting and changing. I like in

1154
00:51:15,760 --> 00:51:18,760
Speaker 5: Brian Flora's defense to like an amiba because it doesn't

1155
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 5: have a shape, it doesn't have tendencies. And it's the

1156
00:51:21,719 --> 00:51:24,400
Speaker 5: reason for that is there's so much autonomy placed in

1157
00:51:24,440 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 5: the hands of players to be able to basically act

1158
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:31,080
Speaker 5: like an offense out there where if whatever they're seeing,

1159
00:51:31,120 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 5: they have the solution to the problems that they're facing themselves.

1160
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:37,680
Speaker 5: So Brian Flores can call one thing and Harrison Smith,

1161
00:51:38,040 --> 00:51:39,960
Speaker 5: veteran safety, goes you know what, I see this guy

1162
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:41,920
Speaker 5: creeping up here. I think he's going to account for this.

1163
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,279
Speaker 5: We should switch into that they have the freedom to

1164
00:51:44,320 --> 00:51:47,719
Speaker 5: do that, and it's what makes them so difficult to

1165
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:50,360
Speaker 5: go against. And not to mention, you have all of

1166
00:51:50,400 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 5: these players in these very in that don't act like

1167
00:51:54,400 --> 00:51:56,600
Speaker 5: they should in the traditional sense of their roles, like

1168
00:51:56,840 --> 00:51:59,480
Speaker 5: you have the corners. I think Aaron Aaron Rodgers mentioned

1169
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:01,160
Speaker 5: this too, But something I noticed very early on in

1170
00:52:01,200 --> 00:52:03,759
Speaker 5: the season, Brian Flores will ask his corners to go

1171
00:52:03,840 --> 00:52:07,080
Speaker 5: cover deep habs of the field instead of just staying

1172
00:52:07,080 --> 00:52:09,319
Speaker 5: on the outside and dropping, you know, too high shell

1173
00:52:09,360 --> 00:52:12,799
Speaker 5: with safeties. He's creating two high shells with corners, or

1174
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,239
Speaker 5: he's having defensive ends and outside linebackers drop into coverage. Yeah,

1175
00:52:16,440 --> 00:52:19,360
Speaker 5: Andrew Van Gingkle was like the best addition for this defense,

1176
00:52:19,719 --> 00:52:21,279
Speaker 5: and he was the one that got the pick six

1177
00:52:21,280 --> 00:52:23,560
Speaker 5: against Rogers that was just the fifth of Rogers'.

1178
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,640
Speaker 4: Twenty year career. That's insane, insane. He doesn't throw pick sixes.

1179
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:33,120
Speaker 5: So these two things working together, and this far into

1180
00:52:33,200 --> 00:52:35,640
Speaker 5: the season, it's not a fluke if they can go

1181
00:52:35,680 --> 00:52:37,759
Speaker 5: against anyone. At this point, they are in one of

1182
00:52:37,760 --> 00:52:41,200
Speaker 5: the toughest divisions in the league. The NFC North has

1183
00:52:41,680 --> 00:52:43,520
Speaker 5: every single team in the NFC North has a winning

1184
00:52:43,560 --> 00:52:46,400
Speaker 5: record right now, so they're going to cannibalize themselves a

1185
00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,840
Speaker 5: little bit they have to. But Minnesota, I mean, again,

1186
00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:53,600
Speaker 5: I can't say enough about how much they believe in

1187
00:52:53,640 --> 00:52:56,239
Speaker 5: each other, how well this team is playing together on

1188
00:52:56,280 --> 00:52:58,080
Speaker 5: both sides of the ball, and special teams.

1189
00:52:57,880 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 4: For that matter.

1190
00:52:59,480 --> 00:53:03,000
Speaker 5: They are are I mean top five in EPA per

1191
00:53:03,040 --> 00:53:05,800
Speaker 5: play on offense. Their offensive line is playing great and

1192
00:53:05,840 --> 00:53:08,200
Speaker 5: I think very very underrated between those two tackles and

1193
00:53:08,280 --> 00:53:12,480
Speaker 5: Christian Dearrisa and Brian O'Neill, it's they're on their buy

1194
00:53:12,600 --> 00:53:14,480
Speaker 5: too right now. So we're going to see if maybe

1195
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,840
Speaker 5: down the stretch that that that works to their detriment

1196
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:19,120
Speaker 5: given how early it is.

1197
00:53:19,760 --> 00:53:23,320
Speaker 2: But and also coming back to face division rival Lions

1198
00:53:23,360 --> 00:53:24,520
Speaker 2: at home, who are also like.

1199
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:27,480
Speaker 5: I literally wrote this week for Fox sports dot com

1200
00:53:27,480 --> 00:53:29,640
Speaker 5: that the Minnesota Vikings are the best team in football

1201
00:53:29,719 --> 00:53:30,000
Speaker 5: right now.

1202
00:53:30,080 --> 00:53:33,480
Speaker 3: Who they are. I mean, it's them and the Chiefs.

1203
00:53:33,600 --> 00:53:35,920
Speaker 5: They're the only on beans and it doesn't look easy

1204
00:53:35,960 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 5: with the Chiefs. It looks easy with the Vikings right now.

1205
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:40,879
Speaker 5: I'm not saying that like that comes super Bowl time.

1206
00:53:40,920 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 5: That's that's whatever.

1207
00:53:41,719 --> 00:53:43,080
Speaker 4: I'm not. I'm not worried.

1208
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:44,520
Speaker 3: About the Ships. Did you pick Vikings too?

1209
00:53:44,840 --> 00:53:44,920
Speaker 10: No?

1210
00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,480
Speaker 2: I actually picked I picked the Lions and the like

1211
00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:48,520
Speaker 2: I know you picked an.

1212
00:53:48,600 --> 00:53:49,799
Speaker 4: An NFC or a team. No.

1213
00:53:49,800 --> 00:53:51,680
Speaker 5: No, No one would have seen this coming with the

1214
00:53:51,840 --> 00:53:54,160
Speaker 5: with the Minnesota Vikings. But I'm glad it is because again,

1215
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:56,680
Speaker 5: I can't say enough about Kevin O'Connell Brian Florres as coaches.

1216
00:53:56,920 --> 00:53:57,880
Speaker 4: They're doing a phenomenal job.

1217
00:53:57,960 --> 00:54:00,359
Speaker 2: I think it's also insanely underrated to have two head

1218
00:54:00,360 --> 00:54:03,319
Speaker 2: coaches on your team, like with your offensive coator that

1219
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:05,439
Speaker 2: was a very recent head coach, which kind of leads

1220
00:54:05,520 --> 00:54:06,480
Speaker 2: us to this next.

1221
00:54:07,560 --> 00:54:10,240
Speaker 3: Can they Jaden Daniels, can he keep it going?

1222
00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,320
Speaker 2: Another team that has an offensive coordinator that was recently

1223
00:54:13,360 --> 00:54:19,240
Speaker 2: a head coach like cause that to have two minds

1224
00:54:19,280 --> 00:54:23,160
Speaker 2: to head coaches minds, even if you're not titled head coach,

1225
00:54:23,320 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: like you know what it takes to take this team

1226
00:54:25,480 --> 00:54:29,000
Speaker 2: to that level. So Jaden Daniels, can he keep it going?

1227
00:54:29,120 --> 00:54:31,319
Speaker 2: Since his Welcome to the NFL game, which I think

1228
00:54:31,400 --> 00:54:34,360
Speaker 2: is when he beat the Bengals and had the ninety

1229
00:54:34,360 --> 00:54:36,560
Speaker 2: one point three percent completion.

1230
00:54:36,280 --> 00:54:39,399
Speaker 5: Yeah, say, welcome to the NFL game, meaning like, oh,

1231
00:54:39,440 --> 00:54:41,600
Speaker 5: you got lit up and this is how hard it is.

1232
00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:44,759
Speaker 5: That's usually the connotation that that comes. Yeah, No, but

1233
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,880
Speaker 5: this is that's completely this is completely different. This is

1234
00:54:46,920 --> 00:54:47,439
Speaker 5: the other side.

1235
00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:50,200
Speaker 2: This is the I mean, his completion percentage to the

1236
00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:52,880
Speaker 2: first four games was eighty two point one percent. That

1237
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 2: was the highest completion percentage for any player in their

1238
00:54:55,719 --> 00:54:57,280
Speaker 2: first four games of a season.

1239
00:54:57,480 --> 00:54:59,760
Speaker 3: Like what he is doing.

1240
00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:03,920
Speaker 2: And again, like we knew there was potential for him

1241
00:55:03,960 --> 00:55:06,279
Speaker 2: to be great, but right out of the gates, all

1242
00:55:06,320 --> 00:55:09,800
Speaker 2: of the conversations were around Caleb. So I think it

1243
00:55:09,880 --> 00:55:12,520
Speaker 2: almost helped Jayden Daniels that like he did not have

1244
00:55:12,600 --> 00:55:14,440
Speaker 2: that target on his back, he did not have the

1245
00:55:14,480 --> 00:55:17,399
Speaker 2: spotlight on him, even though he was reigning Heisman winner.

1246
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:19,440
Speaker 2: Came from a great program at LSU and working with

1247
00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,920
Speaker 2: a former head coach as his offensive coordinator in Cliff Kingsbury.

1248
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,200
Speaker 2: But there was so much new with the Commanders that

1249
00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:30,600
Speaker 2: I don't think anybody really knew exactly what to expect, No.

1250
00:55:30,680 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 5: And there wasn't, to be quite frank, going into the season,

1251
00:55:33,800 --> 00:55:36,880
Speaker 5: there wasn't a whole lot of talent, and you really

1252
00:55:37,160 --> 00:55:40,399
Speaker 5: I think what Cliff Kingsbury did so beautifully is there

1253
00:55:40,400 --> 00:55:42,480
Speaker 5: was a big joke that the Commanders are running a

1254
00:55:42,520 --> 00:55:43,000
Speaker 5: college offense.

1255
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,600
Speaker 4: YadA, yah, YadA. That's not the case.

1256
00:55:45,200 --> 00:55:48,360
Speaker 5: But what Cliff Kingsbury has done for Jaden Daniels is

1257
00:55:48,480 --> 00:55:51,640
Speaker 5: mess the college game with the NFL game smart very

1258
00:55:51,640 --> 00:55:54,719
Speaker 5: well and eased Jayden Daniels into this season. He wasn't

1259
00:55:54,840 --> 00:55:57,839
Speaker 5: asking a whole lot out of Jayden Daniels in those

1260
00:55:57,840 --> 00:56:00,319
Speaker 5: first four to five games through the In the first

1261
00:56:00,400 --> 00:56:03,520
Speaker 5: four weeks, I believe Jane Daniels was fortieth or forty

1262
00:56:03,560 --> 00:56:07,000
Speaker 5: first in average depth of target, so he's not throwing

1263
00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:08,080
Speaker 5: the ball down the field.

1264
00:56:08,160 --> 00:56:11,040
Speaker 4: He was only an average of six point nine air yards.

1265
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 5: So he's just trying to get him those Cliff Kingsbury's

1266
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:18,160
Speaker 5: just trying to get Jane Daniels comfortable, get him those

1267
00:56:18,239 --> 00:56:21,880
Speaker 5: high completion percentage throws, make sure that he has the

1268
00:56:21,920 --> 00:56:24,480
Speaker 5: confidence to keep going. And then now over the last

1269
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,640
Speaker 5: couple of weeks, you've seen Jayden open things up or

1270
00:56:27,680 --> 00:56:31,600
Speaker 5: Cliff Kingsbury more accurately open things up. Jane's pushing the

1271
00:56:31,600 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 5: ball down the field more. And what is most encouraging

1272
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:35,799
Speaker 5: for me and why I think that Jane Daniels can

1273
00:56:35,920 --> 00:56:38,040
Speaker 5: keep this up for the rest of the season is

1274
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:42,080
Speaker 5: because we're seeing an evolution from even when he played

1275
00:56:42,080 --> 00:56:45,200
Speaker 5: for LSU last year. My biggest concern with Jane Daniels

1276
00:56:45,239 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 5: coming into this season was, all Right, I know that

1277
00:56:48,200 --> 00:56:50,640
Speaker 5: he can scramble around and do all these wonderful things,

1278
00:56:50,680 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 5: but at LSU he would scramp, he would tuck his

1279
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,480
Speaker 5: head down and then just get those extra yards with

1280
00:56:54,480 --> 00:56:55,360
Speaker 5: his legs and run.

1281
00:56:55,840 --> 00:56:56,759
Speaker 4: Jane Daniels is not.

1282
00:56:56,719 --> 00:56:58,360
Speaker 3: That big of a guy, not for the NFL.

1283
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,319
Speaker 5: I was very concerned that when you scramble around as

1284
00:57:01,320 --> 00:57:03,920
Speaker 5: an NFL quarterback, the goal is to look for additional

1285
00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:06,600
Speaker 5: throwing lanes to still make a play with your arm.

1286
00:57:06,680 --> 00:57:08,720
Speaker 5: Can you throw on the run, can you be accurate?

1287
00:57:08,760 --> 00:57:11,440
Speaker 5: Can you recognize those guys? Can you get on the

1288
00:57:11,440 --> 00:57:13,759
Speaker 5: same page with your receivers. That is what I was

1289
00:57:13,800 --> 00:57:18,200
Speaker 5: looking for for Jade Daniels. He's doing that so early on,

1290
00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:20,360
Speaker 5: and that is not something he did at LSU. I

1291
00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:23,840
Speaker 5: watched every single snap of his last year for LSU,

1292
00:57:23,960 --> 00:57:26,320
Speaker 5: and that was the biggest thing that concerned me, was

1293
00:57:27,080 --> 00:57:30,240
Speaker 5: if you scramble, can you find throwing lanes? Because I

1294
00:57:30,240 --> 00:57:32,880
Speaker 5: don't want you taking those hits. And even in preseason,

1295
00:57:32,960 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 5: we saw him do that and his coaches get on

1296
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,840
Speaker 5: him for doing that. He has now evolved his game

1297
00:57:39,240 --> 00:57:41,720
Speaker 5: and he is throwing on the run. He's being very accurate,

1298
00:57:41,760 --> 00:57:43,800
Speaker 5: he's making good decisions, he is not putting the ball

1299
00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:44,480
Speaker 5: in harm's way.

1300
00:57:45,080 --> 00:57:48,000
Speaker 4: That is something that is so encouraging and why I think.

1301
00:57:47,840 --> 00:57:50,000
Speaker 5: That this is something that can continue as far as

1302
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:54,480
Speaker 5: his evolution and getting better and being the franchise guy.

1303
00:57:54,560 --> 00:57:56,919
Speaker 5: I'm so excited I can finally root for Washington now

1304
00:57:56,960 --> 00:57:59,560
Speaker 5: that they're not an absolute dumpster fire of an organization,

1305
00:58:00,320 --> 00:58:03,480
Speaker 5: Like they have good people running things and things are

1306
00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:04,640
Speaker 5: on the up and up.

1307
00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: I'm well, you also have a connection now since LSU

1308
00:58:07,040 --> 00:58:08,400
Speaker 2: is your adopted team.

1309
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:11,600
Speaker 5: Well, and don't forget Jane Daniels started at Arizona State

1310
00:58:11,640 --> 00:58:13,240
Speaker 5: and he did not leave under the best of terms.

1311
00:58:13,240 --> 00:58:16,400
Speaker 4: But he's still my son. So he's you my son.

1312
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:18,760
Speaker 3: Yeaheah, yeah, double down. Yeah, I mean next like.

1313
00:58:19,360 --> 00:58:22,160
Speaker 4: Or very talented son, Joey B.

1314
00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 2: Jane Daniels. You guys got a lot of like, very

1315
00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,920
Speaker 2: high talented sons. But yeah, I agree. I think I

1316
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:31,320
Speaker 2: think they can keep this going. Jane Daniels can keep

1317
00:58:31,320 --> 00:58:35,000
Speaker 2: this going. Tomorrow's going to be tough at Ravens, but

1318
00:58:35,120 --> 00:58:38,160
Speaker 2: then your verse Panthers verse Bears also is going to

1319
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,640
Speaker 2: be a really fun rookie showdown that I think both

1320
00:58:40,680 --> 00:58:43,320
Speaker 2: these guys are going to really rise to the occasion

1321
00:58:43,360 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 2: for and then at Giants. So I can see him

1322
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:50,959
Speaker 2: going two and two maybe next four games. But yeah,

1323
00:58:51,080 --> 00:58:54,320
Speaker 2: I believe that Jane Daniels has a talent. They have

1324
00:58:54,360 --> 00:58:55,880
Speaker 2: the coaches hoff they can keep this going. We're gonna

1325
00:58:55,880 --> 00:58:57,360
Speaker 2: take a quick break here, but when we come back,

00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:41,960
Speaker 4: Don't call it upset.

1343
00:59:42,080 --> 00:59:45,280
Speaker 5: Don't call him guy Kenny dilly Ham an upset or

00:59:45,360 --> 00:59:46,640

1345
00:59:46,880 --> 00:59:49,640
Speaker 3: Have you beate number sixteen Utah?

1346
00:59:49,920 --> 00:59:53,600
Speaker 2: Last night everyone stormed the field, which was incredible.

1347
00:59:53,720 --> 00:59:54,880
Speaker 4: Not me, I will not.

1348
00:59:55,120 --> 00:59:56,080
Speaker 3: I mean, it's not for me.

1349
00:59:56,160 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 5: I like, I turned to my fiance and I was like,

1350
00:59:57,840 --> 00:59:59,520
Speaker 5: that's not for us, Hun, that's not for us.

1351
00:59:59,600 --> 01:00:01,520
Speaker 2: Unless you're working and you have to be down there.

1352
01:00:01,520 --> 01:00:04,200
Speaker 2: That is my nightmare. That is like terrifying to me.

1353
01:00:04,680 --> 01:00:08,440
Speaker 2: We almost almost had an upset this morning, but Alabama

1354
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:12,960
Speaker 2: held on to beat South Carolina, which was insane.

1355
01:00:13,200 --> 01:00:15,800
Speaker 3: But just like this season, I'm just so happy.

1356
01:00:15,800 --> 01:00:19,080
Speaker 2: It's the first season of the twelve team expanded playoffs,

1357
01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,760
Speaker 2: which is so awesome. All the conference realignment in the

1358
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:24,840
Speaker 2: Big Ten, the SEC, We're getting a lot of these

1359
01:00:24,880 --> 01:00:27,520
Speaker 2: teams playing each other, which means more of these top

1360
01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:32,120
Speaker 2: teams like we're seeing today are facing off. I am

1361
01:00:32,520 --> 01:00:36,480
Speaker 2: so excited for Ohio State at Oregon, two undefeated teams

1362
01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,000
Speaker 2: that are facing off later. Today we have I think

1363
01:00:39,160 --> 01:00:41,320
Speaker 2: sc is beating Penn State right now. I don't have

1364
01:00:41,400 --> 01:00:43,840
Speaker 2: the score up in front of me, but I think

1365
01:00:43,880 --> 01:00:47,080
Speaker 2: they were before I looked. But it's just a lot

1366
01:00:47,120 --> 01:00:54,200
Speaker 2: more parody at the top, right because again Alabama beating

1367
01:00:54,240 --> 01:00:56,720
Speaker 2: Georgia than losing the Vanderbilt The next week, we saw

1368
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,040
Speaker 2: the students take the goalpost, walk it downway. Yeah, it

1369
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:01,680
Speaker 2: was beautiful last weekend.

1370
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,800
Speaker 5: It's just the very interesting thing about all this now,

1371
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:08,080
Speaker 5: especially with the conference realignment, is that you are playing teams,

1372
01:01:08,120 --> 01:01:13,120
Speaker 5: are playing better teams to then satisfy their long standing rivalry.

1373
01:01:13,240 --> 01:01:16,200
Speaker 5: So like the Apple Cup between Washington and Washington State, Yeah,

1374
01:01:16,280 --> 01:01:18,600
Speaker 5: that happened early in the season, whereas that usually doesn't

1375
01:01:18,600 --> 01:01:22,840
Speaker 5: happen until Thanksgiving because they are no longer in the

1376
01:01:22,880 --> 01:01:25,320
Speaker 5: same conference now, so you have to schedule a non

1377
01:01:25,320 --> 01:01:26,080
Speaker 5: conference opponent.

1378
01:01:26,160 --> 01:01:27,720
Speaker 4: Usually that happens earlier in the year.

1379
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:29,680
Speaker 5: So I think that's why you're seeing a lot of

1380
01:01:29,720 --> 01:01:33,080
Speaker 5: more maybe maybe what is perceived as more parody. I mean,

1381
01:01:33,080 --> 01:01:35,439
Speaker 5: there's always parody in college football. You never know what's

1382
01:01:35,440 --> 01:01:39,360
Speaker 5: going to happen because it's college football. But today, I mean,

1383
01:01:39,440 --> 01:01:40,640
Speaker 5: if you just look at the slate.

1384
01:01:40,840 --> 01:01:41,360
Speaker 3: It's so good.

1385
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:44,400
Speaker 5: You've got the Red River rivalry is on right now.

1386
01:01:44,480 --> 01:01:49,439
Speaker 5: Little said it right, Penn State, USC Standford Notre Dame.

1387
01:01:49,520 --> 01:01:52,160
Speaker 5: Right now, you have, like you said, Ohio State Oregon

1388
01:01:52,280 --> 01:01:55,840
Speaker 5: Ole Miss number nine, Ole Miss Verset number thirteen, LSU

1389
01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 5: is kicking off at four thirty.

1390
01:01:57,040 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 3: Papi Ohio.

1391
01:01:59,080 --> 01:02:02,240
Speaker 5: Yes, and you've got Kansas State number eighteen. Kansas State

1392
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,840
Speaker 5: versus Colorado as the night game.

1393
01:02:04,680 --> 01:02:06,080
Speaker 3: Second, Oh yeah, you said that already.

1394
01:02:06,120 --> 01:02:09,840
Speaker 5: Even Boise State versus Hawaii is gonna be a good game.

1395
01:02:09,880 --> 01:02:14,520
Speaker 5: Boise State currently ranked seventeenth behind. They're running back Ashton Jenty,

1396
01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:16,240
Speaker 5: who is just like.

1397
01:02:16,760 --> 01:02:19,520
Speaker 3: I an eight pm start eight pm.

1398
01:02:20,560 --> 01:02:24,160
Speaker 5: It's in Hawaii, so that's what happens. But Ashton Jenty,

1399
01:02:24,080 --> 01:02:27,760
Speaker 5: the Boise State running back, is just absolutely insane. He's

1400
01:02:28,200 --> 01:02:30,560
Speaker 5: bonkers to watch, absolutely bonkers.

1401
01:02:30,560 --> 01:02:31,360
Speaker 4: He is doing things.

1402
01:02:31,800 --> 01:02:34,240
Speaker 5: Teams are loading the box against him constantly, and he's

1403
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:36,800
Speaker 5: just like, I don't care, I'm gonna run through you anyway.

1404
01:02:36,800 --> 01:02:38,880
Speaker 5: And there's all these badass pictures of him now, like

1405
01:02:39,560 --> 01:02:42,360
Speaker 5: standing there, just ready to mow down defenders.

1406
01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:44,240
Speaker 4: It's they're so entertaining.

1407
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:45,920
Speaker 5: There's a lot of teams that are super entertaining in

1408
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:50,320
Speaker 5: the top twenty five and ASU after this weekend should

1409
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,320

1413
01:03:03,240 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 10: Yeah, I know the build tongue twister there, but it

1414
01:03:05,880 --> 01:03:09,480
Speaker 10: is at the half and Texas doing Texas thing. Yeah,

Speaker 3: Heald's that to.

01:03:28,920 --> 01:03:30,080
Speaker 13: big rubble for.

1424
01:03:30,200 --> 01:03:31,800
Speaker 7: Sent Texas Radio Network.

1425
01:03:31,800 --> 01:03:34,640
Speaker 10: It is twenty one to three Texas leading number eighteen

1426
01:03:34,680 --> 01:03:37,680
Speaker 10: Oklahoma at the half, and that was of course you

1427
01:03:37,720 --> 01:03:39,920
Speaker 10: have Texas Radio Network, Quinn yours. By the way, the

1428
01:03:39,920 --> 01:03:42,680
Speaker 10: Longhorns quarterback thirteen to seventeen through the air, one hundred

1429
01:03:42,680 --> 01:03:44,640
Speaker 10: and twenty two yards and one touchdown.

1430
01:03:44,760 --> 01:03:47,840
Speaker 4: Not as much luck with a receiver, though the flicker.

1431
01:03:47,600 --> 01:03:50,880
Speaker 10: No, not as much so and not as not as

1432
01:03:50,880 --> 01:03:52,960
Speaker 10: good of a start you could say in the Penn

1433
01:03:52,960 --> 01:03:55,520
Speaker 10: State game for their quarterback Drew Aller, who threw a

1434
01:03:55,560 --> 01:03:58,520
Speaker 10: pick and his number four Penn State and the Lions

1435
01:03:58,560 --> 01:04:01,960
Speaker 10: are getting shown up at the LA Coliseum against the

1436
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:03,760
Speaker 10: USC twenty to six.

1437
01:04:03,840 --> 01:04:04,880
Speaker 7: Is where we are through two?

1438
01:04:04,960 --> 01:04:07,080
Speaker 5: That stat between teams that have to cross two times,

1439
01:04:07,160 --> 01:04:09,600
Speaker 5: I did see that. That's that's my biggest issue with

1440
01:04:09,680 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 5: They're like one in eight, yes, if you have to

1441
01:04:12,840 --> 01:04:15,000
Speaker 5: cross two time zones. And so that's the issue with

1442
01:04:15,040 --> 01:04:18,560
Speaker 5: the Big ten now having USC Ucla. I'm like, when

1443
01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:21,320
Speaker 5: they have to go on the opposite coast, it's just

1444
01:04:21,360 --> 01:04:23,240
Speaker 5: gonna be an app It's gonna be like NFL team

1445
01:04:23,320 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 5: going to London.

1446
01:04:23,960 --> 01:04:24,760
Speaker 7: That's why I hope that.

1447
01:04:25,160 --> 01:04:27,440
Speaker 10: I know I'm not supposed to editorialize, but UCLA should

1448
01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,360
Speaker 10: beat Minnesota tonight at the roast Ball, right, Let's wink wink,

1449
01:04:30,440 --> 01:04:31,200
Speaker 10: let's hope that happens.

1450
01:04:31,240 --> 01:04:33,160
Speaker 4: Same and I started looking goodness year they.

1451
01:04:33,120 --> 01:04:35,600
Speaker 10: Yeah, they had that big win last week against USC,

1452
01:04:35,840 --> 01:04:38,480
Speaker 10: and now USC is seemingly bouncing back Number eleven Notre

1453
01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,800
Speaker 10: Dame twenty one to seven. They're in front of Stanford

1454
01:04:40,840 --> 01:04:43,280
Speaker 10: that is in the third quarter to a couple of finals.

1455
01:04:43,280 --> 01:04:46,800
Speaker 10: To mention here of notable status, Number seven Alabama Hangs

1456
01:04:46,800 --> 01:04:49,640
Speaker 10: on twenty seven to twenty five against South Carolina. The

1457
01:04:49,760 --> 01:04:52,400
Speaker 10: game Cox quarter la touchdown, could not convert on the

1458
01:04:52,400 --> 01:04:55,160
Speaker 10: two pointer, got the ball back on the on side kick,

1459
01:04:55,520 --> 01:04:58,480
Speaker 10: and then Carbon and Alyx had a chance with about

1460
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,600
Speaker 10: forty seconds to go down the field. All they needed

1461
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:04,680
Speaker 10: is a field goal, but an interception. Interception, yes, and

1462
01:05:04,720 --> 01:05:06,760
Speaker 10: I'll throw this back at you. But first we do

1463
01:05:06,920 --> 01:05:09,560
Speaker 10: know out of baseball, on a day that is heavily

1464
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:12,919
Speaker 10: saturated with college football, that the Guardians, after their seven

1465
01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 10: to three win against the Tigers today game five alds,

1466
01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:19,480
Speaker 10: they are on to take on the New York Yankees.

1467
01:05:20,280 --> 01:05:23,840
Speaker 7: Guardians win Lane Thomas had a grand Slam.

1468
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,880
Speaker 3: Yeah, insane, insane.

1469
01:05:25,920 --> 01:05:26,280
Speaker 4: I like that.

1470
01:05:26,320 --> 01:05:30,760
Speaker 2: We're getting like game changing grand slams in these postseason games.

1471
01:05:30,320 --> 01:05:33,240
Speaker 3: It's beautiful, it's awesome. Thank you, Brian.

1472
01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Football Saturday. I'm Alex Curry here

1473
01:05:36,200 --> 01:05:38,760
Speaker 2: with Carmen Vitali. We are broadcasting live from the Tyre

1474
01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:41,240
Speaker 2: dot Com studios in Los Angeles, and it is time

1475
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:45,400
Speaker 2: for our next guest Jets team reporter Caroline Hendershaw, thanks

1476
01:05:45,400 --> 01:05:46,360
Speaker 2: you for joining the show.

1477
01:05:47,040 --> 01:05:49,560
Speaker 6: Oh my gosh, ladies. Of course, thanks for having me.

1478
01:05:49,720 --> 01:05:54,120
Speaker 3: Carolina, What a crazy week for you.

1479
01:05:54,720 --> 01:05:57,920
Speaker 2: Chats just give us, Like what was the initial vibe

1480
01:05:58,440 --> 01:06:01,520
Speaker 2: in the building in the lock when the news of

1481
01:06:01,920 --> 01:06:03,680
Speaker 2: Robert Sala's firing broke?

1482
01:06:04,520 --> 01:06:06,320
Speaker 6: You know, I think a lot of the players have

1483
01:06:06,480 --> 01:06:09,560
Speaker 6: echoed this same sentiment. But nobody likes to see a

1484
01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:12,720
Speaker 6: head coach get fired, right, Like, it's never great, and

1485
01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 6: you obviously get to know the person behind the coach,

1486
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:18,640
Speaker 6: so you end up feeling really bad for them because

1487
01:06:18,680 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 6: obviously it's their full time job, so and then of

1488
01:06:21,000 --> 01:06:23,080
Speaker 6: course the family that comes with it all of that,

1489
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:28,280
Speaker 6: so no one likes when that happens. But having Jeff

1490
01:06:28,360 --> 01:06:32,200
Speaker 6: Olbrick step into that position, I think the players stave

1491
01:06:32,240 --> 01:06:34,760
Speaker 6: emphasized like, obviously, this probably isn't the way that he

1492
01:06:34,760 --> 01:06:38,040
Speaker 6: would have imagined getting his first head coaching position, but

1493
01:06:38,520 --> 01:06:41,600
Speaker 6: they are really excited for him because he's so good

1494
01:06:41,600 --> 01:06:44,000
Speaker 6: at what he does, obviously having a top five defense

1495
01:06:44,080 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 6: for the past almost three seasons now, and he's just

1496
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:48,959
Speaker 6: such a great guy.

1497
01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:49,800
Speaker 11: He's been in the.

1498
01:06:49,840 --> 01:06:53,480
Speaker 6: NFL for over twenty years, combining his playing career and

1499
01:06:53,520 --> 01:06:55,920
Speaker 6: his coaching career, so you know, he knows what the

1500
01:06:55,960 --> 01:06:58,600
Speaker 6: players are going through. He's been there, he's done that,

1501
01:06:59,160 --> 01:07:03,200
Speaker 6: and he's been at every almost position of the coaching

1502
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:06,280
Speaker 6: kind of ladder. So he's kind of the perfect person,

1503
01:07:06,360 --> 01:07:10,040
Speaker 6: I think, to step into that role, and the players

1504
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:11,840
Speaker 6: are really excited for his opportunity.

1505
01:07:12,000 --> 01:07:14,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, he's Jeff Olbriok's a football guy, right,

1506
01:07:14,720 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 5: Like he's the one that can kind of galvanize. And

1507
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,600
Speaker 5: I think do you think that that kind of made

1508
01:07:18,640 --> 01:07:22,560
Speaker 5: it not necessarily easier, because, like you said, it's heartbreaking

1509
01:07:22,600 --> 01:07:25,160
Speaker 5: when you have to make these changes, especially in season

1510
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:28,000
Speaker 5: and kind of pivot so quickly. But do you think

1511
01:07:28,000 --> 01:07:29,680
Speaker 5: that kind of made it easier to note that there

1512
01:07:29,720 --> 01:07:31,360
Speaker 5: was a guy like Jeff oulbrig on staff that you

1513
01:07:31,480 --> 01:07:35,240
Speaker 5: have faith in to absolutely be able to galvanize the team,

1514
01:07:35,280 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 5: to get them going and to do what quite frankly

1515
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,600
Speaker 5: hasn't been done with a team making a change mid

1516
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,280
Speaker 5: season and then making the postseason.

1517
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,240
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I do think that whenever there's already

1518
01:07:46,320 --> 01:07:49,200
Speaker 6: a coach on the staff that the players are familiar with,

1519
01:07:49,240 --> 01:07:53,160
Speaker 6: the players trust, they've already kind of rallied behind this

1520
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:56,400
Speaker 6: particularly the Jets defense has rallied behind him. I think

1521
01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:59,000
Speaker 6: it's always easier for the players to kind of digest

1522
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:01,480
Speaker 6: in a crazy from fans like this, So I think,

1523
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:05,040
Speaker 6: all things considered, this is probably the best case scenario

1524
01:08:05,160 --> 01:08:08,600
Speaker 6: instead of someone from the outside coming in. But yeah, again,

1525
01:08:08,680 --> 01:08:11,000
Speaker 6: like you said, just ol Brick really football guy. Everything.

1526
01:08:11,200 --> 01:08:13,600
Speaker 6: That picture of him with the mohawk and like his

1527
01:08:13,680 --> 01:08:15,640
Speaker 6: full tattoo showing, it's iconic.

1528
01:08:16,200 --> 01:08:17,960
Speaker 5: So I got I'm like, do we have the defensive

1529
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:21,639
Speaker 5: like Dan Campbell now in this is what crazy?

1530
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:23,320
Speaker 3: Not mad about it?

1531
01:08:23,360 --> 01:08:25,080
Speaker 2: I mean, we also heard a lot of comments this

1532
01:08:25,120 --> 01:08:29,280
Speaker 2: week from players, Rogers being one of them, that they

1533
01:08:29,320 --> 01:08:31,320
Speaker 2: didn't know that this was coming. It was kind of

1534
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:35,600
Speaker 2: kind of blindsided. So what was Aaron Rodgers' message to

1535
01:08:35,720 --> 01:08:37,760
Speaker 2: the team? Not publicly to the media, but like, what

1536
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:38,840
Speaker 2: was his message.

1537
01:08:38,479 --> 01:08:39,040
Speaker 3: To the team.

1538
01:08:39,800 --> 01:08:43,040
Speaker 6: I think it really comes down to just accountability. Like

1539
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:45,559
Speaker 6: I think you've heard it, not even just from Rogers,

1540
01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:49,120
Speaker 6: but from other players like Sauce Gardner and Tyler Conklin

1541
01:08:49,360 --> 01:08:53,200
Speaker 6: and all of these key leaders on the Jets team

1542
01:08:53,400 --> 01:08:57,040
Speaker 6: in all different phases of the game have all said

1543
01:08:57,520 --> 01:08:59,680
Speaker 6: this kind of falls on us, Like this firing, we

1544
01:08:59,800 --> 01:09:03,639
Speaker 6: kind of feel that it's our responsibility because if we're

1545
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,559
Speaker 6: sitting here three and one, four and it's a different

1546
01:09:06,640 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 6: it's a different story, right sore their kind of mentality

1547
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,840
Speaker 6: around it, all I think is it's time for us

1548
01:09:13,920 --> 01:09:17,240
Speaker 6: to step up to the plate because we have done things,

1549
01:09:17,840 --> 01:09:20,600
Speaker 6: maybe some plays really great, for other plays like we

1550
01:09:20,800 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 6: have not gone to our full potential. And so they're

1551
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:26,640
Speaker 6: really taking accountability in the locker room from everyone that

1552
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:30,080
Speaker 6: I've spoken to, And are I feel like approaching this

1553
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 6: game with just a different mindset.

1554
01:09:31,880 --> 01:09:34,960
Speaker 5: Maybe what are kind of the changes that you foresee

1555
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:37,479
Speaker 5: then going forward? How are they going to write the

1556
01:09:37,479 --> 01:09:40,200
Speaker 5: ship on offense? Because quite frankly, this defense has not.

1557
01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:40,840
Speaker 4: Been the issue.

1558
01:09:40,920 --> 01:09:43,880
Speaker 5: Right, they're top five and a lot of defensive metrics

1559
01:09:44,280 --> 01:09:46,559
Speaker 5: and top five and EPA per play I believe, and

1560
01:09:46,800 --> 01:09:48,880
Speaker 5: just they were kind of humming, but it was the

1561
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:51,439
Speaker 5: offense that's kind of sputtered in the beginning. What do

1562
01:09:51,479 --> 01:09:54,960
Speaker 5: you see going forward being the changes that end up happening?

1563
01:09:55,080 --> 01:09:57,200
Speaker 5: How do you see this team improving on the offensive

1564
01:09:57,240 --> 01:09:57,800
Speaker 5: side of the ball.

1565
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:02,360
Speaker 6: Right, So that's obviously the position of note, right is

1566
01:10:02,400 --> 01:10:06,120
Speaker 6: the offense and the quarterback. And I think the obvious

1567
01:10:06,120 --> 01:10:09,280
Speaker 6: one is that top downing will now be calling plays.

1568
01:10:09,640 --> 01:10:13,559
Speaker 6: That was changed this week with Nathaniel Hackett and taught

1569
01:10:13,600 --> 01:10:15,880
Speaker 6: down and kind of clipping that script a bit. But

1570
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:20,640
Speaker 6: I do think that the offense knows what they're capable of.

1571
01:10:20,720 --> 01:10:24,840
Speaker 6: They knew it all training camp and they were very

1572
01:10:24,880 --> 01:10:28,280
Speaker 6: confident in their ability. So now it's really just finding

1573
01:10:28,320 --> 01:10:31,040
Speaker 6: that rhythm that you've seen on a couple drives, right, Like,

1574
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,880
Speaker 6: you've seen a couple drives that have really been put

1575
01:10:33,920 --> 01:10:36,720
Speaker 6: together well, and you've seen, Okay, they're starting to get

1576
01:10:36,720 --> 01:10:39,240
Speaker 6: that going. Now it's more so just about consistency and

1577
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:44,040
Speaker 6: consistently finding that pattern and that groove that you've seen

1578
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:45,920
Speaker 6: on some of those drives that have really worked well.

1579
01:10:45,960 --> 01:10:46,120
Speaker 13: For that.

1580
01:10:46,240 --> 01:10:48,920
Speaker 6: Will that come from switching up the play callers. I

1581
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:52,400
Speaker 6: don't know so, but you know, no one is really

1582
01:10:52,439 --> 01:10:54,759
Speaker 6: sure at this moment, so that's kind of I feel

1583
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:58,080
Speaker 6: like the team's immediate response is to switch that play

1584
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:01,240
Speaker 6: caller and see if that betters the office.

1585
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,519
Speaker 2: Now something that could help, and the Jets have been

1586
01:11:03,560 --> 01:11:08,400
Speaker 2: brought up in this possible conversation is DeVante Adams landing

1587
01:11:08,760 --> 01:11:11,639
Speaker 2: with the Jets. Have you heard anything in the building,

1588
01:11:11,720 --> 01:11:13,679
Speaker 2: what have you heard around that situation.

1589
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:18,200
Speaker 6: I love I love this whole conversation because everyone's like, obviously,

1590
01:11:18,320 --> 01:11:20,839
Speaker 6: he's going to New York, he's going to recite with Aaron,

1591
01:11:22,360 --> 01:11:24,679
Speaker 6: and all of us are like, guys, we know nothing.

1592
01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:30,120
Speaker 6: This is above our pagrits. I have not heard anything, obviously,

1593
01:11:30,200 --> 01:11:35,120
Speaker 6: other than the mysterious Edgar Allen Poe Poe. Yeah, right,

1594
01:11:36,160 --> 01:11:39,040
Speaker 6: very very interesting. I will leave that at that. But no,

1595
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:42,080
Speaker 6: I haven't heard that there's any talks of that or

1596
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:46,040
Speaker 6: it's any It's not developing into anything serious at the moment.

1597
01:11:46,120 --> 01:11:47,360
Speaker 5: And we don't want to get you in trouble with

1598
01:11:47,400 --> 01:11:48,960
Speaker 5: any tampering accusations here.

1599
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:51,960
Speaker 4: I'm trying to get to Adams over to the well.

1600
01:11:51,960 --> 01:11:53,439
Speaker 2: No he's I mean, he's the one who's come out

1601
01:11:53,439 --> 01:11:54,920
Speaker 2: and said I want to play with a quarterback.

1602
01:11:54,960 --> 01:11:56,799
Speaker 4: I don't know before team employee.

1603
01:11:56,880 --> 01:11:59,240
Speaker 5: You can literally get get hit with tampering that it

1604
01:11:59,240 --> 01:12:01,400
Speaker 5: happened to a friend of mine that works for a team.

1605
01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:02,960
Speaker 4: So I'll leave that alone.

1606
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,040
Speaker 6: But I actually I haven't heard anything.

1607
01:12:05,160 --> 01:12:08,160
Speaker 5: Yeah, right, there you go, Caroline, not heard anything. Good job,

1608
01:12:08,240 --> 01:12:09,320
Speaker 5: but I gotta try.

1609
01:12:09,360 --> 01:12:09,920
Speaker 4: I try.

1610
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 5: I have a really random question for you, and this

1611
01:12:11,600 --> 01:12:15,719
Speaker 5: is something that I'm just genuinely curious about. So Aaron Rodgers,

1612
01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:18,200
Speaker 5: old school player, obviously has been in the league for

1613
01:12:18,240 --> 01:12:21,639
Speaker 5: twenty years. He has like the flutter loose sleeves on

1614
01:12:21,680 --> 01:12:28,760
Speaker 5: his jersey. Now Garrett Wilson has the long sleeves, like

1615
01:12:28,800 --> 01:12:31,000
Speaker 5: old school sleeves on his jersey. Does that have to

1616
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,000
Speaker 5: do with Aaron Rodgers.

1617
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:35,200
Speaker 6: You know, I haven't asked Garrett Bell.

1618
01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:37,360
Speaker 4: You just do if you like.

1619
01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:41,080
Speaker 6: But you know what if I if I would were

1620
01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,760
Speaker 6: to guess, yeah, if it weren't me and I were

1621
01:12:44,800 --> 01:12:47,559
Speaker 6: Garrett Wilson, which obviously I'm not. There's a lot of

1622
01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:49,799
Speaker 6: as lettcesm lacking on that one.

1623
01:12:50,560 --> 01:12:54,960
Speaker 5: Don't sell yourself short missing, Okay, yeah, it's for me,

1624
01:12:55,479 --> 01:12:57,439
Speaker 5: and I was playing with a future Hall of Famer,

1625
01:12:57,439 --> 01:12:58,040
Speaker 5: a quarterback.

1626
01:12:58,280 --> 01:13:00,160
Speaker 6: I don't know. I think I read her coffee and

1627
01:13:00,200 --> 01:13:02,400
Speaker 6: kind of everything we does emulating him.

1628
01:13:02,400 --> 01:13:04,920
Speaker 5: I'd like, I'm so curious about It's the most random thing,

1629
01:13:05,040 --> 01:13:08,240
Speaker 5: and I like, there's been no mention of it, and I'm.

1630
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:09,760
Speaker 6: Just like an observation.

1631
01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:10,919
Speaker 4: He's a young.

1632
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:12,680
Speaker 5: Player, Like, why does he wear his sleeves like that?

1633
01:13:12,760 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 5: It's something that's so trivial and it doesn't actually matter,

1634
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 5: But I just wonder if it has.

1635
01:13:16,400 --> 01:13:16,760
Speaker 4: To do it.

1636
01:13:17,320 --> 01:13:20,640
Speaker 2: She also loves like whoever Rogers is dating feels like

1637
01:13:20,680 --> 01:13:24,120
Speaker 2: he dresses according to like however he's with proven This

1638
01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,120
Speaker 2: is another theory that Carmen has. I love it, very

1639
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 2: very invested. Okay, before we let you go, obviously, Jets

1640
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:35,600
Speaker 2: face the Bills Monday night, big divisional matchup, especially with

1641
01:13:35,720 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 2: the week that they've had with the If they win

1642
01:13:38,920 --> 01:13:41,840
Speaker 2: this game, they're right there in it atop the AFC's

1643
01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,840
Speaker 2: with the Bills. What's been the message and conversation in

1644
01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:47,360
Speaker 2: the locker room this week? Hopefully, like with everything that

1645
01:13:47,400 --> 01:13:50,360
Speaker 2: happened this week, turn it around on Monday, right.

1646
01:13:50,960 --> 01:13:54,200
Speaker 6: I think obviously that big message of accountability that I

1647
01:13:54,240 --> 01:13:56,879
Speaker 6: touched on bir she was like really the main messaging.

1648
01:13:57,240 --> 01:14:00,160
Speaker 6: But other than that, I think everyone's kind of you know,

1649
01:14:00,160 --> 01:14:02,280
Speaker 6: there's always a different feeling when you're going up against

1650
01:14:02,320 --> 01:14:05,080
Speaker 6: a divisional opponent, right because it just it means a

1651
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:08,160
Speaker 6: little bit more, not that any NFL game doesn't mean

1652
01:14:08,200 --> 01:14:10,519
Speaker 6: a lot to begin with, but it just means almost

1653
01:14:10,560 --> 01:14:12,960
Speaker 6: that it and more. And then when you put the

1654
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:15,600
Speaker 6: fact on that they could be first or time for

1655
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,880
Speaker 6: first in the AFC East, I think everyone kind of

1656
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:21,760
Speaker 6: feels that sense of urgency, and that's been a big

1657
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:24,480
Speaker 6: thing too. It's kind of the start of these games.

1658
01:14:24,840 --> 01:14:27,599
Speaker 6: That's been like another message of we need to start faster,

1659
01:14:27,720 --> 01:14:30,639
Speaker 6: we need to not that they haven't felt that urgency,

1660
01:14:30,680 --> 01:14:32,479
Speaker 6: but it needs to kind of show out on the

1661
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:35,320
Speaker 6: field and it needs to really kind of come to

1662
01:14:35,400 --> 01:14:37,920
Speaker 6: fruition from the first drive, from the first snap, and

1663
01:14:37,960 --> 01:14:40,240
Speaker 6: it really just needs to start rolling right off the bat.

1664
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:43,599
Speaker 6: So I think a little bit of that urgency will

1665
01:14:43,680 --> 01:14:47,439
Speaker 6: be shown on Monday Night and hopefully it godes well

1666
01:14:47,479 --> 01:14:48,160
Speaker 6: for the Jets.

1667
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,280
Speaker 3: Carolyne, thank you so much for joining us. You were wonderful.

1668

01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:55,800

1670

Speaker 2: of can he keep it going? I think he can,

1711
01:16:56,360 --> 01:17:00,439
Speaker 2: but not this weekend against the Ravens. I think Ravens

1712
01:17:00,439 --> 01:17:01,960
Speaker 2: are gonna take this. They had a big win over

1713
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:05,000
Speaker 2: the Bengals last weekend, They're at home, They're really starting

1714
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 2: to find their groove.

1715
01:17:06,200 --> 01:17:07,200
Speaker 3: So I'm taking the Ravens.

1716
01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm gonna take the Ravens two.

1717
01:17:10,040 --> 01:17:14,719
Speaker 5: And it's really given the fact that this this running

1718
01:17:14,800 --> 01:17:17,639
Speaker 5: game of the Ravens between Derreck Henry and Lamar Jackson

1719
01:17:17,640 --> 01:17:19,519
Speaker 5: has turned into everything that we thought it was going

1720
01:17:19,600 --> 01:17:19,800
Speaker 5: to be.

1721
01:17:19,880 --> 01:17:21,639
Speaker 3: The most threat and.

1722
01:17:21,880 --> 01:17:26,800
Speaker 5: The Washington run defense this season twenty four rushes allowing

1723
01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:27,479
Speaker 5: tenor war yards.

1724
01:17:27,479 --> 01:17:28,559
Speaker 4: That's the most in the league.

1725
01:17:28,600 --> 01:17:31,880
Speaker 5: They're twenty point five percent explosive run play percentage allowed,

1726
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,960
Speaker 5: that's the second worst in the league. Overall, six hundred

1727
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 5: and fift rushing yards allowed that ranks twenty second. So

1728
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:39,960
Speaker 5: I'm gonna give the I'm gonna give the Ravens the year,

1729
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,360
Speaker 5: not even I mean, Jane Daniels can play as well

1730
01:17:42,360 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 5: as he wants to, but with that defense, I don't

1731
01:17:44,400 --> 01:17:46,320
Speaker 5: know is equiped to handle this Ravens rushing attack.

1732
01:17:46,520 --> 01:17:49,160
Speaker 12: Well, speaking of a player who can play, we got

1733
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:53,000
Speaker 12: Baker Mayfield in the Bucks taken three and a half points,

1734
01:17:53,160 --> 01:17:55,840
Speaker 12: by the way on the road going against the nil

1735
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:59,200
Speaker 12: in Saints Car Me, what are we feeling?

1736
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:01,759
Speaker 5: Bucks are fired up? They've been in New Orleans all week.

1737
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:05,360
Speaker 5: Looks like Tampa kind of avoided the worst with Hurricane Milton,

1738
01:18:05,360 --> 01:18:08,080
Speaker 5: which is really great. But it's been a crazy week

1739
01:18:08,080 --> 01:18:09,960
Speaker 5: for these guys. I think that's actually gonna work in

1740
01:18:09,960 --> 01:18:13,280
Speaker 5: their favor. Not to mention, both Marshawn Lattimore and Mike

1741
01:18:13,320 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 5: Evans are healthy at the same time. Again, that's gonna

1742
01:18:17,240 --> 01:18:19,439
Speaker 5: be a fun matchup to watch, as it always is.

1743
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:22,439
Speaker 5: These two guys hate each other and it's one of

1744
01:18:22,479 --> 01:18:26,639
Speaker 5: the few true rivalries between players in this league.

1745
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:27,639
Speaker 4: I'm taking the Bucks.

1746
01:18:28,080 --> 01:18:29,519
Speaker 3: I'm also taking the Bucks.

1747
01:18:29,560 --> 01:18:32,320
Speaker 2: I'm just curious why it's not a bigger line with

1748
01:18:32,439 --> 01:18:36,800
Speaker 2: Derek Carr out with an oblique injury. Right, he officially

1749
01:18:36,920 --> 01:18:41,799
Speaker 2: ruled out? Yeah, how is it not a Baker line AnyWho?

1750
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,679
Speaker 2: Baker and the Bucks, Baby, they lost a close OT

1751
01:18:44,880 --> 01:18:48,280
Speaker 2: game last Thursday versus Atlanta, so they've been sitting on

1752
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 2: that loss for a while now that they could have

1753
01:18:50,360 --> 01:18:51,280
Speaker 2: easily taken that.

1754
01:18:51,439 --> 01:18:52,639
Speaker 3: So, yes, the Bucks are.

1755
01:18:52,520 --> 01:18:55,000
Speaker 4: Getting cot and answin winfield junior practice.

1756
01:18:55,040 --> 01:18:55,760
Speaker 3: It's happening well.

1757
01:18:55,760 --> 01:18:57,840
Speaker 12: Speaking of sitting and waiting for their next game, we

1758
01:18:57,920 --> 01:19:00,880
Speaker 12: got the Lions as three point favorites on the road

1759
01:19:01,240 --> 01:19:03,560
Speaker 12: to take on Jerry's World Dallas Cowboys.

1760
01:19:03,600 --> 01:19:04,559
Speaker 4: Alex HOWI feeling.

1761
01:19:04,680 --> 01:19:07,320
Speaker 2: I'm going with the Lions. Cowboys haven't won at home yet.

1762
01:19:07,360 --> 01:19:10,840
Speaker 2: Michael Parsons is still ruled out. I Dak didn't have

1763
01:19:10,920 --> 01:19:13,439
Speaker 2: a great game last week. He had three turnovers, but

1764
01:19:13,479 --> 01:19:16,480
Speaker 2: had that game winning drive, so that's what everyone remembered.

1765
01:19:16,560 --> 01:19:19,240
Speaker 2: But the Lions are just more a complete team. I

1766
01:19:20,040 --> 01:19:23,400
Speaker 2: believe in them way more this season in general. So Lions.

1767
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 5: I'm going to Lions to third best ePaper play on

1768
01:19:26,200 --> 01:19:29,400
Speaker 5: the ground and this Dallas run defense. Talk about a

1769
01:19:29,439 --> 01:19:31,840
Speaker 5: mismatch one.

1770
01:19:31,800 --> 01:19:32,960
Speaker 4: And ninety to New Orleans.

1771
01:19:33,040 --> 01:19:35,400
Speaker 5: The New Orleans Saints gave up two hundred and seventy

1772
01:19:35,479 --> 01:19:37,560
Speaker 5: yards to the Baltimore Ravens. This season, they have the

1773
01:19:37,640 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 5: highest EPA per play allowed versus the run.

1774
01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:40,559
Speaker 4: This is not close.

1775
01:19:40,560 --> 01:19:44,639
Speaker 5: Plus they're missing Marshawn Neeland, Michaeh Parsons, Eric Henderson's practice.

1776
01:19:44,720 --> 01:19:47,479
Speaker 12: It's Lions, all right, get to the final tests on

1777
01:19:47,520 --> 01:19:49,880
Speaker 12: this one, there, Carmen. We got the Bengals as three

1778
01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:50,879
Speaker 12: and a half point favorites.

1779
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,920
Speaker 4: Bengals have to Bengals, that's all.

1780
01:19:53,080 --> 01:19:53,320
Speaker 3: Yeah.

1781
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 2: I'm also taking Bengals. It's a must win for Burrow.

1782
01:19:56,400 --> 01:19:57,800
Speaker 2: Let's get to the last one, all right.

1783
01:19:57,840 --> 01:20:00,519
Speaker 12: We got Bill's favorites on the road against these Jets.

1784
01:20:00,880 --> 01:20:02,320
Speaker 12: Alex take it away.

1785
01:20:02,680 --> 01:20:03,479
Speaker 3: In Josh Allen.

1786
01:20:03,600 --> 01:20:06,519
Speaker 2: We trust he is coming off the worst game of

1787
01:20:06,600 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 2: his career, so he's gonna have extra fire. Jets obviously

1788
01:20:10,000 --> 01:20:12,519
Speaker 2: in shambles after this week. I'm going with the Bills.

1789
01:20:12,680 --> 01:20:14,679
Speaker 5: I think it's gonna get weird. It's at home. Jets

1790
01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:16,720
Speaker 5: have everything to play for right now. I actually am

1791
01:20:16,760 --> 01:20:17,519
Speaker 5: gonna go with the Jets.

1792
01:20:17,560 --> 01:20:20,840
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, the one game we did not agree on, Okay,

1793
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:22,799
Speaker 2: that's gonna be it. Thank you for spending your Saturday

1794

Speaker 2: afternoon with us. We'll see you next week, same time,

1795
01:20:25,439 --> 01:20:26,040
