00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:02,440
Speaker 2: we saw yesterday and the continued performance we see of

16
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:05,000
Speaker 2: this of this offense, it is a problem, sir, but

17
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 2: we have so much college football. Today is going to

18
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 2: be a presentented movement day in college football history for coaches.

19
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 2: Lane makes a decision. Lane with a decision. I think

20
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 2: it's gonna end up being l s U. I woke

21
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 2: up this morning and you know those prediction markets, right,

22
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:29,399
Speaker 2: you know, there there's just there's there's a sports Tachi

23
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,399
Speaker 2: and poly market and and I you know, I dabbled

24
00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 2: those as well, and I've put a couple bucks down

25
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 2: on coaches to end up at certain places. And this

26
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 2: morning the odds had flipped for Florida, where Jet Fish

27
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 2: is now the favorite. And I mean there's there's there's

28
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: a lot happening right now in college football. Besides obviously

29
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 2: big rivalry weekends, these games are important, right Georgia now

30
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 2: the Nantasy championship game after the A and M loss

31
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: last night. You know, there's a lot of moving parts

32
00:01:57,400 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: in the Big tenstall, right, the big game to you

33
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: mentioned our house loses it, Orgon wins, Oregon is in

34
00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 2: the Big Ten championship game. You know there's there's there's

35
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: a lot of actually happening there. We got multiple coaches

36
00:02:08,600 --> 00:02:11,080
Speaker 2: that are probably leaving schools that are either in their

37
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 2: conference championship game, that are in a playoff team. We

38
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 2: know one, right, I mean or Eric Morrison, North Texas

39
00:02:16,960 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 2: coach is already going to Oklahoma State. He is teams

40
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 2: in the American Championship Game. And so to me, and

41
00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:25,680
Speaker 2: then the thing that is so fascinating. Is not just

42
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 2: the individual coaching hires at each school. It's a trickle

43
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 2: down effect, right because you go from if one job

44
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,720
Speaker 2: is open, right then then the next job is open,

45
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 2: and the next job is open, and it goes. It

46
00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:42,000
Speaker 2: just the trickle down effect is never ending. Right. Think

47
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 2: about I love that you're using this one example. Think

48
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:49,080
Speaker 2: about Alabama. Would Nick Sabon retired, Okay, that cale to

49
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:53,120
Speaker 2: boor left Washington? Okay. Arizona's head coach went from Arizona

50
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 2: to Washington. Santa State's coach went from Santiase State to Arizona,

51
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: and then k Kenya Montalolo, who was actually a UCLA

52
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 2: as I sior analysts, went to fill that job of

53
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: Santaesday State. That's one job. We're gonna have twelve jobs

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 2: that are open. You know, it's gonna be madness, madness

55
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 2: the sport has never seen before at the coaching race.

56
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's start with the big story and Lane and

57
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: all signs point to LSU.

58
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah.

59
00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 3: Feels like you know, bat Tom Rouge will be the

60
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 3: haul for Lane Kiffin. They're gonna make the huge investment.

61
00:03:29,520 --> 00:03:33,480
Speaker 2: They got the Kellys situation figured out, so now it's like,

62
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: all right, well figure out. I mean they're paying them

63
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: all his money that he's owed.

64
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,920
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, exactly, Like they realized that they had no

65
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 3: recourse but to actually fulfill the contract and pay him.

66
00:03:46,760 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 3: And now they're going to go to get into bed

67
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:54,240
Speaker 3: and commit another one hundred plus million dollars to another coach. Listen,

68
00:03:54,400 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 3: I mean Lane, it's a long way from the Raiders, right.

69
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160
Speaker 3: Lane knows how to coach it. Loan knows how to

70
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 3: build it. He's got, you know, I mean, if if

71
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: you're gonna go out and hand pick anyone in all

72
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:14,480
Speaker 3: of college football, now, I mean, Lane's the top guy of.

73
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,840
Speaker 2: The guys who are available, of course, because there are

74
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 2: and this is what they're sinking about the cycle as

75
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,799
Speaker 2: well as a lot of coaches. Stay right now. Alcohol

76
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:24,200
Speaker 2: lost last night. But what he's doing in A and

77
00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 2: M is incredible. Yeah, I mean it's Signetti when he's done,

78
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 2: is in Indiana, Madden stay in Nebraska. You know, Clark

79
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,159
Speaker 2: Lee's staying at Vanderbilt. Drinkowitzes thing of Missouri.

80
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: And Yeah, but be honest with you, I mean you know,

81
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:40,960
Speaker 3: I mean Lake Tiffin is still the would still be

82
00:04:41,080 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: the top choice.

83
00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 2: Now you are your drothers. You gonna have anybody rancom

84
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 2: just to start a job right now? Yeah, you're if

85
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 2: you're let's just say LSU and the world your oyster.

86
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 2: You could be handpicked. Well, I would take Kirby one, Yeah,

87
00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 2: I agreed, I would number two would be I mean,

88
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:09,840
Speaker 2: Ryan Day would be too. Obviously, I'm sorry I'd even

89
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,720
Speaker 2: thought about that for that long. I take Ryan Day

90
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,840
Speaker 2: and then I would probably take Dan Lanning. Well, I do,

91
00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:19,120
Speaker 2: I do? That was happening, Captain? Am I wrong? Tell

92
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:19,640
Speaker 2: me I'm wrong?

93
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,560
Speaker 4: I mean Lane's You know, I like Dan, so I

94
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 4: don't want to.

95
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,200
Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, I don't want to

96
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 3: sit here and disagree with him because I like him

97
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 3: a lot.

98
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: I love him. Here's here's my I mean, Lane late

99
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:36,560
Speaker 2: Laide's brilliant coach, make you do everything. He's proven it.

100
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 4: The one thing Dan hasn't done. Lane's done.

101
00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 2: He's proven it. He's been around. So here's here's my

102
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,840
Speaker 2: my my strongest Dan Lanning take is this. I think

103
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 2: we're gonna see it happened this season the way it's

104
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:50,160
Speaker 2: tracking right now. So Lane obviously he's been coaching a

105
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:55,160
Speaker 2: long time, right, Dan Lanning has not right, it's just

106
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 2: his fourth year ever as head coach than me, and

107
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 2: they're they're on track. Organ is to finish a game

108
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 2: ahead of where they finished last year, which has been

109
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:11,359
Speaker 2: every single season, like he's got every year they finished

110
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,239
Speaker 2: one game ahead of when they want the previous season.

111
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 2: And so I think that's the number one thing Lanning

112
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,839
Speaker 2: has going for him is that the success is getting

113
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 2: better every season. No, look, I think Lande is the

114
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 2: best option available for LSU. You know he's gonna probably

115
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: bring over Chambliss right from Old Miss, which is hugely important.

116
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:28,960
Speaker 2: And then you know the thing is he's just got

117
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:31,600
Speaker 2: He's just he just has to. You don't get continue

118
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,320
Speaker 2: to build the defense at LSU. The defense of Old

119
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 2: Miss last year was much better than this season has

120
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,360
Speaker 2: been as good this season. And I think that he

121
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:41,000
Speaker 2: feels that and this I think he's right for this.

122
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:46,600
Speaker 2: You you have a limit, a ceiling at Old Miss

123
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,279
Speaker 2: for how high you can go in the postseason, I think,

124
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 2: And you don't have that ceiling at LSU, don't have

125
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 2: that scene at Florida, and he's calculating that he's a

126
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: better chance. I think he's right to win a championship

127
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 2: at LSU and at Florida or at Florida, then he

128
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:02,600
Speaker 2: does at Old Miss. I think he's right. I think

129
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,200
Speaker 2: he's right about that calculation. It's hard to win championship,

130
00:07:07,240 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: as we know in this sport, and a lot of

131
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,600
Speaker 2: the championships are won by teams in a previous one

132
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: championships in the last twenty years. Right and uh and

133
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 2: and this is the opportunity for him to do that

134
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:23,000
Speaker 2: right now at at you know again, at at LSU.

135
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,440
Speaker 2: So this move makes sense. I know, I know it's

136
00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:27,120
Speaker 2: crazy to think that he's leaving through the mind of

137
00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 2: a playoff run for Old Miss, but Old Miss is not.

138
00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 2: He's going to really do much in the playoffs. I mean, right,

139
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 2: I don't. I think we all agree on that, just

140
00:07:33,120 --> 00:07:36,600
Speaker 2: not not how they're built right now defensively, So I

141
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:38,280
Speaker 2: get it. I get while he's leaving and they're giving

142
00:07:38,360 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: him a bazillion dollars, So, uh, all have doing the

143
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 2: show with you. If someone offers me ninety million dollars

144
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 2: a different morning show on Saturday, I'm out of here. So,

145
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Speaker 2: I mean part of it. He's getting out. You're a

146
00:07:48,360 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 2: think ninety million dollars supposedly, right, do you leave me

147
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: for ninety million. If you if you didn't leave me

148
00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 2: for ninety million, I would be upset. But I mean,

149
00:08:00,960 --> 00:08:02,480
Speaker 2: you know, part of it again is that, like you know,

150
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 2: this is money matters, right and much. I think Old

151
00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:08,320
Speaker 2: Miss could probably scrouch together enough to pay him that much.

152
00:08:08,360 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: But also too, you know, ls u's giving him a

153
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:13,400
Speaker 2: bigger coaching pool, ls US giving him a an n

154
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:16,280
Speaker 2: L budget that he didn't have Old I mean, it's

155
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:19,200
Speaker 2: they don't matter. And as much as the Old Miss,

156
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: it's shame it is because you know, you feel bad,

157
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:27,000
Speaker 2: like but yeah, that's why there's l s U and

158
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 2: you know, and that's why there's Old Miss. I mean,

159
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: the program matters. You're right about the trickle down. I mean,

160
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:39,000
Speaker 2: Penn State, the Pen State is fascinating me. If it

161
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:44,560
Speaker 2: feels like, uh, your boys out right, he's out for sure? Okay,

162
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 2: so Matt rules out for sure. I mean there's there's

163
00:08:47,679 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 2: talk that some of these extensions that were signed not

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:52,679
Speaker 2: to that rules but are just like sort of formalities

165
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: and just they sort of said those to get through

166
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,600
Speaker 2: the season and they're not actually actually signed. So that's

167
00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:00,920
Speaker 2: what I was asking. Fair, So you know, yes, it's

168
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,400
Speaker 2: your boy I'm going to ask you about your boy.

169
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 2: Of course, you know, no clerk Lee right the one

170
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 2: Domino today, it sounds like it's kailin the bores. You

171
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,360
Speaker 2: want to leave Alabama? You know, if they played poorly

172
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,120
Speaker 2: in the Iron Bowl? Does Alabama? Does he want to

173
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 2: leave the pressure of that situation to go to Penn State.

174
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,559
Speaker 2: If not, it feels like Penn State is going to

175
00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:22,760
Speaker 2: the Chesney route the JMU head coach. So it seems

176
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 2: like but he see, this is the thing with firing

177
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:27,079
Speaker 2: coaches and this is why I caught you team to

178
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 2: do so, is that is Chesney a better coach with

179
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 2: James Franklin. It would be no now, obviously, and you

180
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,679
Speaker 2: could argue that Franklin reached his limit there, which is

181
00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:38,599
Speaker 2: certainly fair to say. So I'm not arguing that that

182
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 2: like it was going to get better, but you're probably

183
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:44,200
Speaker 2: not hiring a better head coach. But I'm curious. I'm

184
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:46,880
Speaker 2: Chesney though. It would be an interesting higher. I'd really

185
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,280
Speaker 2: like to see that there. The GMU head coach JAMU

186
00:09:49,320 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: twelve and oer this season, it sounds like that's the

187
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,959
Speaker 2: higher for Penn State. I don't think they see that

188
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: would be the higher where they fired him when.

189
00:09:56,960 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: No, no, no they did not. I can tell you

190
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 3: for of fact it did not. But here's the thing,

191
00:10:02,920 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: Like you know, Franklin, it just is what it is.

192
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 2: Man, you have to do it right. Like it was

193
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 2: the same when Ady Reid left Philly. It was it

194
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,079
Speaker 2: was like time to go, like it was, yeah, he

195
00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:17,280
Speaker 2: had run its course, it was time to go. And

196
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:21,040
Speaker 2: I get it. But as we have said all along,

197
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,959
Speaker 2: like you want to hire a coach that's better. I

198
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 2: think Penn State thought they were getting the Matt rule

199
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,480
Speaker 2: of drinko Witz like I thought they were. They thought

200
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: they were one of those names they and Chesney, by

201
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:34,480
Speaker 2: the way, might be the best option, Like might work

202
00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:36,040
Speaker 2: out for him that way. Yeah, they might work out

203
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:37,640
Speaker 2: that But but that's not who they thought they were

204
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 2: hiring when they fired James Franklin. And I think I

205
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 2: think this whole cycle is going to be a rude

206
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:45,760
Speaker 2: awakening for a lot of those schools that realize that

207
00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:49,800
Speaker 2: they're not as as as cool as I think they are.

208
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:52,200
Speaker 2: But be Nil has changed this game so much, right,

209
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 2: Like you're Eli Drinkowitz in your Missouri you have enough

210
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 2: money to compete every year when went out the pressure

211
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 2: of having, you know, to be at at Penn State

212
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:06,720
Speaker 2: or at Florida, and we saw this year doesn't get hurt, right,

213
00:11:06,840 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 2: what what are they? I mean, it's it's it's it's

214
00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:13,560
Speaker 2: it's a playoff challenging team, right And if you realize

215
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:15,599
Speaker 2: you could do that there, what what Why go to

216
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 2: Florida and try to do the same thing. He's in

217
00:11:17,400 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 2: the SEC already. So an l has really changed. I

218
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:25,360
Speaker 2: think the desire for some of these coaches to do

219
00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 2: to have to go to a big school like they

220
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:29,400
Speaker 2: used to have to do to.

221
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:34,439
Speaker 3: Win, right, Right, It's just You're is still going to

222
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 3: be the the top shelf, right and Lush's the top

223
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: shelf absolutely, So you know in Florida.

224
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 4: You know, and if it appears there's a direction there, but.

225
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 2: I think, well, I'll tell you Florida interesting this morning

226
00:11:51,520 --> 00:11:53,360
Speaker 2: is I think I mentioned like Jed Fish is now

227
00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:55,439
Speaker 2: the huge favorite to go to Florida this morning, which

228
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:01,960
Speaker 2: was now yesterday, and I on that. But also as

229
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 2: an organ fan who plays Washington today, I would it

230
00:12:04,920 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 2: would be a very big distraction if their head coach

231
00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:09,720
Speaker 2: was thinking about the photo job as he's trying to coach.

232
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:12,120
Speaker 2: It's Organ today, So I would take it for the

233
00:12:12,200 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 2: hilarity of that option for me. And so I think

234
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,720
Speaker 2: Jeff Fish is a good coach and that it would

235
00:12:17,840 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 2: be I think Washington hire a better coach, which would

236
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:23,800
Speaker 2: worry me. Hates Washington, but the hilarity of Washington fans

237
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:25,920
Speaker 2: seeing that in real time today would make me laugh

238
00:12:25,960 --> 00:12:29,679
Speaker 2: a lot. So I'm rooting for the laughing option because

239
00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm I'm it's college football, man. Come on, I feel you, buddy,

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:36,240
Speaker 2: I avail you. I get it.

241
00:12:37,840 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 3: And then on the field last night or yesterday, it

242
00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 3: was what a game our second half. I gotta tell you,

243
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 3: I love the kid because I think the kid has

244
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 3: been raked through the colls and I get it. You know,

245
00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,599
Speaker 3: nobody's gonna cry for him, but I think he's a

246
00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:59,840
Speaker 3: good kid. And I just thought he played so well.

247
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 3: It's composure last night in the second half. You know

248
00:13:02,920 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 3: that offense struggle. Then he struggled early in that game.

249
00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:09,599
Speaker 3: That's a great defense. And you know, he made a

250
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,520
Speaker 3: couple of huge throws. He made a couple of big

251
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,520
Speaker 3: plays with his legs. That was a big win for Texas.

252
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,880
Speaker 2: It was and I'll tell you what, Texas, it's not

253
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,319
Speaker 2: a playoff team, no matter what Sark says. But I

254
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 2: gotta tell you they battled this year, like it's gonna

255
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 2: be interesting to talk about them heading the next season

256
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:30,719
Speaker 2: because Archie presumably comes back and he has moments where

257
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:32,599
Speaker 2: it was bad, he has moments where it's good. You

258
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,679
Speaker 2: can see, you can see where it has a chance

259
00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 2: to be good. Right, you can see that. We all

260
00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 2: see that. And the question is can he do that

261
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 2: essentially every every week?

262
00:13:44,240 --> 00:13:44,320
Speaker 5: Right?

263
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 2: Can he? Can he more consistent each and every week?

264
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 2: That was a win last night that you know, unfortunately

265
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,400
Speaker 2: is going to start discussion about, well, if they didn't

266
00:13:53,400 --> 00:13:55,439
Speaker 2: play Ohio State, they would be a playoff team. I

267
00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 2: continue to play Ohio State. You also lost a game

268
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,320
Speaker 2: you shouldn't have lost. That's why you're not a playoff team. Nothing,

269
00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 2: there's nothing to do with Ohio State.

270
00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,719
Speaker 4: And while you're going to hear that, I mean, the

271
00:14:05,840 --> 00:14:08,320
Speaker 4: crime is going to get loud, well.

272
00:14:08,440 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: Crowd, they wont but you lost in Florida, So I know,

273
00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:18,400
Speaker 2: Cridmey River Texas. Uh, that's obviously you know that's you

274
00:14:19,120 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 2: gotta win those games and they didn't if you would

275
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 2: be a playoff team. So really good for Texas, A

276
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 2: and M just with a complete melt the worst time. However, look,

277
00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think it's so funny in the

278
00:14:29,440 --> 00:14:33,040
Speaker 2: grand scheme of things, if you A and M now

279
00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,880
Speaker 2: gets to miss the as the championship game, gets to

280
00:14:34,920 --> 00:14:37,600
Speaker 2: rest a week, gets to look at this loss and

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,680
Speaker 2: sort of reevaluate where they are heading into the postseason,

282
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 2: like it's not the worst thing. I know, you want to,

283
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,360
Speaker 2: you know when they you know, win the championship and

284
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,400
Speaker 2: have a buy, but it's not really the it's very

285
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 2: Ohio State now. They're not just good to Ohio State

286
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:53,480
Speaker 2: from last season, but it's very Ohio State ESQ. Right,

287
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 2: you get a chance just to sit back, enjoy conference

288
00:14:56,520 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 2: championship weekend, leak your wounds and figure out what's wrong.

289
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 2: You'll reach the just inconsistent as a young player, which

290
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 2: is which is totally normal for that. But I'm looking

291
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: forward now to seeing George, which I don't think Georgia

292
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 2: wants to play as a change of game, but now

293
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:13,840
Speaker 2: they are there back in Georgia, we'll mean look as

294
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: an Organ guy like I I want to win today.

295
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 2: I do not want Organ to play in the big

296
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: the Championshi game we're too hurt, We're too beat up

297
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 2: or too hurt, like leave us that kind of that game.

298
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 2: So I get where George is coming from, like your

299
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 2: season like it doesn't. And this is why I think

300
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: confined championship games are probably done because there's just if

301
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 2: fan bases can say I don't want to play in them,

302
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,400
Speaker 2: like what what what? What? What are we doing here?

303
00:15:36,520 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 2: So I think those are on the outs. Yeah, I

304
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 2: mean I just can't see them giving away that kind

305
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 2: of revenue generator. No, what you them is as like

306
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,200
Speaker 2: as like playing games for the playoffs now that they'll

307
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,760
Speaker 2: be like three four will play not one two. Yeah,

308
00:15:56,800 --> 00:15:59,960
Speaker 2: I can see that. Yeah, imagined, I think that's how

309
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,760
Speaker 2: but like you know, now it would be it would

310
00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,080
Speaker 2: be like Oregon Michigan would play and the losers out

311
00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 2: and the winners in the playoff that were even five

312
00:16:08,840 --> 00:16:11,680
Speaker 2: six like whatever it would be, whatever iteration it would be,

313
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,040
Speaker 2: it would end up being well.

314
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:15,240
Speaker 4: Again, And that makes sense.

315
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 2: I mean that I could say, that's why I think

316
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: it's gonna happen in the new playoff format.

317
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes that makes a ton of sense.

318
00:16:26,160 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 2: Today on the field, who can't wait, I know Ohio

319
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 2: State Michigan and this is the game, right, you know,

320
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:40,240
Speaker 2: can Michigan be that physical force that they've been that

321
00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:43,240
Speaker 2: they were last year? Or is this finally it?

322
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:47,760
Speaker 3: Because those Ryan Day doesn't matter about the championship, right,

323
00:16:47,960 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 3: It's about beating Big Blue and is today to day

324
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,880
Speaker 3: they flexed their nine and a half point favorite.

325
00:16:55,920 --> 00:17:01,880
Speaker 2: I think it is Mischian just can't they can't. I

326
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 2: don't think move the ball, Ohio stay in this game.

327
00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,159
Speaker 2: I say Michigan under sixteen and a half points in

328
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 2: this game. I just wow, Let me just tell you

329
00:17:10,600 --> 00:17:12,960
Speaker 2: that real quick, because the brain can't join us today.

330
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:15,840
Speaker 2: He got his flight was late.

331
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 3: He has two is a couple of NFL plays, but

332
00:17:20,600 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: his one college play is Michigan team total under seventeen.

333
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, just like you. Yeah, I just don't see. He's

334
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,399
Speaker 2: a Michigan guy too, mind you, So he has you

335
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 2: know a little bit like like me, Like just I

336
00:17:34,640 --> 00:17:37,040
Speaker 2: think we both see this game the same way. Yeah,

337
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,120
Speaker 2: I just I just don't see. I just don't see

338
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:44,320
Speaker 2: the points here from Michigan. They they struggle to move

339
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: the ball offensive against good teams. Bryce Underwood is going

340
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 2: to be good. It's not good now, right, So it's

341
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 2: not good now, and like that's fine, that's totally acceptable

342
00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 2: to not be good now. He's just he's not good

343
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Speaker 2: enough in this moment, I think to win this game,

344
00:17:58,600 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 2: and I don't. They're gonna score now, how state is?

345
00:18:02,160 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 2: You know? I think Tate and Smith are good to go.

346
00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 2: We don't really know, obviously until they get on the

347
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,639
Speaker 2: field or whatnot. But I'm, you know, very fascinating to

348
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 2: see this game. I think I think it's low scoring.

349
00:18:12,520 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: I do think it's low scoring, but that's all how

350
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,600
Speaker 2: to say sort of offense I think by design is

351
00:18:17,720 --> 00:18:19,840
Speaker 2: they sort of try to try and to go a

352
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 2: little bit slow every now and then. So looking forward

353
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: to this one, man, it's gonna be gonna be a

354
00:18:24,520 --> 00:18:27,800
Speaker 2: ton of fun. And uh but I think I don't

355
00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 2: think Michigan's gonna score very much of this one. No,

356
00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: I would agree. I'll like, ah, stay big, I'd be

357
00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,600
Speaker 2: honest with you. All Right, let's take a quick t

358
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:41,200
Speaker 2: o we'll go.

359
00:18:41,400 --> 00:18:44,720
Speaker 3: We'll come back to rivalry weekend, go through each of

360
00:18:44,760 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: the games as we always do.

361
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:49,880
Speaker 4: But I need to be in the on the Cats

362
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,440
Speaker 4: right now in therapy.

363
00:18:53,680 --> 00:19:01,400
Speaker 3: Because I'm watching an offense that is completely shattered, completely broken.

364
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 3: I need a moment to talk about my defending champion

365
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Eagles. I have to pick your brain, Jeff, because

366
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 3: I'm in a bad place.

367
00:19:13,440 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 2: Eight months ago, top of the world, Super Bowl, Proton Philly.

368
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: Now now I want to fire everybody, and I'm in

369
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,280
Speaker 2: a dark place. Get ready to quarterback, Get ready to

370
00:19:22,400 --> 00:19:24,719
Speaker 2: coach thoughts and prayers from everyone else who didn't win

371
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:25,560

398
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 3: who loves loves a show, big fan of yours, Jeff,

399
00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,520
Speaker 3: And Dom said, have Jeff playing what he meant by

400
00:21:02,560 --> 00:21:05,320
Speaker 3: teams in the Big Ten that wouldn't want to go

401
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:10,320
Speaker 3: to the Big Ten championship. And you know, like, I

402
00:21:10,400 --> 00:21:14,200
Speaker 3: get what you're saying because you're talking about, you know,

403
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:15,320
Speaker 3: teams get healthy.

404
00:21:15,440 --> 00:21:19,040
Speaker 2: It doesn't matter as much to elaborate on that first.

405
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 2: People are like Dom, Okay, so I'm talking about Oregon.

406
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 2: So my organ ducks. Right, we play Washington today. If

407
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:28,120
Speaker 2: Ohio State loses, then we win. We play Indiana next

408
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: week in Indianapolis. Currently on offense, right now, we are

409
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 2: down wide receiver, one wide receiver, two wide receiver.

410
00:21:35,240 --> 00:21:35,440
Speaker 7: Four.

411
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:39,399
Speaker 2: We left last game down left tackle, one right tackle

412
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,160
Speaker 2: one off as the center one, So we left last

413
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 2: game down three offensive lineman. I think some are gonna

414
00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:49,639
Speaker 2: play today. Our backup off the tackles already out, you know,

415
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 2: like we are a beat up team. The purpose of

416
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:56,240
Speaker 2: this season is to try to win a championship, and

417
00:21:56,800 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 2: it's best served having our players healthy to do so

418
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:03,520
Speaker 2: and play Indiana again in a week with our beat

419
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,240
Speaker 2: up team doesn't really serve that purpose. And so we

420
00:22:06,280 --> 00:22:08,720
Speaker 2: won the champion him last year. It's great, look organ

421
00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: plays in that game this year. Root for us to win,

422
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 2: of course, but it just in the grand scheme of things,

423
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 2: it doesn't help us get to where the end goal

424
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: is this season, which I think the way college football

425
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:21,239
Speaker 2: is currently constructed, we have a chance to go far

426
00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:23,640
Speaker 2: in the playoffs, and that doesn't again, it doesn't really

427
00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 2: help us to play in the big the championship game. Yeah,

428
00:22:27,280 --> 00:22:31,280
Speaker 2: and it makes perfect sense, makes perfect sense. So that

429
00:22:31,520 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 2: that's why, like what, yeah, what purpose does it serve?

430
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:37,280
Speaker 2: Play like like a like if we beat Indiana, okay,

431
00:22:37,359 --> 00:22:39,280
Speaker 2: where we get a buye which is great, which obviously

432
00:22:39,400 --> 00:22:42,960
Speaker 2: is great, but like, selfishly, I want Oregon to host

433
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 2: a home playoff game so I can go to the

434
00:22:44,560 --> 00:22:47,800
Speaker 2: home playoff game, like I would like to go. That

435
00:22:47,880 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 2: would be fun to go to. If we're not gonna

436
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: win a championship, which don't get I don't know if

437
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,879
Speaker 2: we're gonna do this season, give me a home playoff

438
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 2: game so I can so I can like go to

439
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 2: Eugene and watch them play, like that's what I would

440
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:00,680
Speaker 2: rather do. I tell you right now, probably would miss

441
00:23:00,720 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 2: the show on that Saturday, but I'm gonna go to

442
00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 2: Eugene and like, and I'd like to watch a play

443
00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 2: a playoff game, so selfishly, like that's what I would

444
00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:10,880
Speaker 2: like to do if they obviously that's to play Indiana

445
00:23:11,320 --> 00:23:13,560
Speaker 2: or get too beat up. I don't want that to happen.

446
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: So it's not that I don't think there's value in it.

447
00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:18,640
Speaker 2: I just think that personally for me as an organ fan,

448
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:21,280
Speaker 2: it doesn't fit. I think where the team wants to

449
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 2: you know what they want to do this season? Yep,

450
00:23:26,040 --> 00:23:32,120
Speaker 2: all right, I need help. So my squad is broken,

451
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:38,040
Speaker 2: my offense is broken, and I even worse, like for

452
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:38,760
Speaker 2: people don't know.

453
00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:43,000
Speaker 3: The Eagles went to the Super Bowl in twenty twenty

454
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:45,440
Speaker 3: two and twenty twenty three, they were ten in one

455
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,320
Speaker 3: and they collapsed.

456
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 2: It was ugly.

457
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,520
Speaker 3: They lost I guess five or six. It was down

458
00:23:53,560 --> 00:23:57,680
Speaker 3: the stretch and they lost in the first round of

459
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,159
Speaker 3: Tampa Bay and the playoffs. There was a lot of

460
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,879
Speaker 3: consternation about Nick Sirianni, whether or not he would be

461
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:03,920
Speaker 3: back as head coach.

462
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:05,480
Speaker 2: They bring him back.

463
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 3: They're two or two last year at the break at

464
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,760
Speaker 3: their bye week, a lot to talk about whether or

465
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 3: not he would get fired. He was able to write

466
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:18,120
Speaker 3: the ship. They became this downhill run team. Kellen Moore

467
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 3: was the OC. Obviously he gets a job, goes to

468
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:26,280
Speaker 3: New Orleans. There's yet another new offensive coordinator and his

469
00:24:26,480 --> 00:24:29,480
Speaker 3: name is Kevin Patulo. Has been on the staff for

470
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:33,720
Speaker 3: a minute. And this offense has been broken really all year.

471
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,680
Speaker 3: Like you've seen glimpses and they'll have a spot like

472
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:39,800
Speaker 3: a quarter or two where they go up and down

473
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 3: the field and put up some points, but it's been

474
00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 3: pretty bleak over the last six weeks. They beat Detroit,

475
00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 3: they beat Green Bay, but the defense was superhuman.

476
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:53,480
Speaker 2: It wasn't super human.

477
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 3: Yesterday they gave up two over two hundred yards on

478
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:59,159
Speaker 3: the ground and they lose.

479
00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 2: Jeff, do you see it so well? It starts with this, right, uh, Phillies.

480
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,959
Speaker 2: The best version of Phillies offense is when Saquon Barkley

481
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: is the focal point of the offense, which I think

482
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 2: is the reason why people just don't give the love

483
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,920
Speaker 2: the Jalen Hurts as they should, even though Jalen Hurts

484
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:21,600
Speaker 2: was fabulous to the Super Bowl when the Chiefs did

485
00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:23,400
Speaker 2: take away the run game, right, like, he deserves credit

486
00:25:23,480 --> 00:25:26,359
Speaker 2: for that, But the run game is what is the

487
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 2: engine of this offense, and it's not been as good

488
00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: as he's it for I think multiple reasons. One is

489
00:25:30,320 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 2: that Barkley had a lot of snaps last year. It's

490
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,520
Speaker 2: hard when when you have as many snaps he did

491
00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:40,640
Speaker 2: to come back the next year and be as as good.

492
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 7: It Just, dude, I think it's well, yeah, well, I'm

493
00:25:44,560 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 7: getting I'm kidding. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I mean, I'm

494
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:51,280
Speaker 7: jumping in. I'm freaked out the lane. Johnson being out

495
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:54,360
Speaker 7: is obviously not good in right tackle, but you also,

496
00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 7: just like you had.

497
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 2: Injuries to Jurgis this year, you've had injuries a Dickerson

498
00:25:57,920 --> 00:25:59,880
Speaker 2: like those guys are back, but they're not one hundred percent.

499
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:02,359
Speaker 2: They're not They're not as good. It's the offensive line

500
00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 2: this year, which you relied on so often and which

501
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,160
Speaker 2: was the best in football for for if it wasn't them,

502
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 2: it was Detroit is one too, right, Like the and

503
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:12,960
Speaker 2: the edgine of that team just isn't what it used

504
00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,080
Speaker 2: to be. And then I think, look again, I like

505
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:19,720
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts, but I think the offense being solely on

506
00:26:19,920 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: him is not is not gonna as function as well,

507
00:26:22,359 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: right Like, That's just it's the truth to It doesn't

508
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 2: mean he sucks or he's not good, right, It's just

509
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:30,720
Speaker 2: the offense is much better when it's very focused on

510
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 2: say Kwa Barkley, right uh, and being a run, physical team,

511
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 2: and they don't have that right now. So there's just

512
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:40,200
Speaker 2: a lot of issues with, you know, with this offense,

513
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 2: and I don't know if there is any solutions, and

514
00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,000
Speaker 2: I know we want to fire the OC that will

515
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 2: probably happen. But here here, to me, is is really

516
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:53,560
Speaker 2: something that we have to talk about. Is that most

517
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,760
Speaker 2: NFL coaches have a specialty right there, defense, and Nick

518
00:26:58,760 --> 00:27:01,240
Speaker 2: Sierani is an offensive coach who refuses to take control

519
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 2: of the offense. That's a huge problem when you when

520
00:27:04,520 --> 00:27:07,760
Speaker 2: you have something that you specialize in, that's all you

521
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,520
Speaker 2: get hired offense defense. Now John Harbaugh is the one

522
00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 2: exception of the spect teams guy. But for the most part,

523
00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 2: you're hired and you do something well offensive defense, and

524
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 2: when things are going poorly, you have to be the

525
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,040
Speaker 2: person to make the changes. You have to step in

526
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:29,239
Speaker 2: and be the guy. And right now, Sirianni, it hurt

527
00:27:29,320 --> 00:27:31,560
Speaker 2: him in this post game yesterday, He's like, Nah, I'm

528
00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:34,320
Speaker 2: not doing anything like buddy, this is your team. You're

529
00:27:34,400 --> 00:27:37,639
Speaker 2: losing your team. You're an offensive guy. You have to

530
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 2: step in now. Of course after the game, maybe not

531
00:27:39,920 --> 00:27:41,960
Speaker 2: the right time to bring up your changing play callers,

532
00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,600
Speaker 2: but like Sirianni's got, he's got, he has got to

533
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,639
Speaker 2: step in. Yeah, this is what you know best. You

534
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:52,439
Speaker 2: have to make this right. If you're a Sirianni. If

535
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 2: you don't do it, then you're not the right coach

536
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: with his job right And I know he just wants

537
00:27:55,520 --> 00:27:58,399
Speaker 2: to go that's the problem, right, Like you nailed it

538
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,520
Speaker 2: so long ago.

539
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:08,240
Speaker 3: He began his Eagles tenure as the play caller and

540
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 3: he gave it up. But they offense struggled. It was

541
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,360
Speaker 3: early on and he gave it up pretty quickly, which

542
00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,240
Speaker 3: I always thought was odd, But he gave it up

543
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 3: to Shane Steichen who's now coaching the Colts, and Stikeen.

544
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 3: He really did well, right, Like, you know, they had

545
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,119
Speaker 3: a good playoff run. The next year they go to

546
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,240
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl with Stiching as the play caller. Syriett,

547
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 3: he's been this weird CEO.

548
00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:36,960
Speaker 2: Coach.

549
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 3: Jalen and him did not have a really good relationship,

550
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,080
Speaker 3: and there was a lot of talk about, you know

551
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 3: that Jalen didn't want him around last year in the

552
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 3: meetings and he was kind of on the outs with

553
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:51,720
Speaker 3: the quarterback.

554
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 2: They had the men defense.

555
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,280
Speaker 3: Of course, you know, when you win and everything's fine,

556
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 3: but you know, it was a Kellen Moore production last year,

557
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 3: and he and I have a lot to do with it.

558
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:04,800
Speaker 3: This year, he's got more fingerprints on it because he's

559
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,960
Speaker 3: very close to Patulo and his approach is to go

560
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,600
Speaker 3: ultra conservative with Hurts and have him not turn the

561
00:29:12,680 --> 00:29:16,480
Speaker 3: ball over, which you know, listen, it's great that when

562
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:17,360
Speaker 3: you don't turn it over.

563
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 4: And the Eagles have won a ton of games.

564
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:22,520
Speaker 3: I mean, his record is ridiculous, right, Like it's Lombardi

565
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:27,560
Speaker 3: esque over his first few years, it's like weirdly ridiculous.

566
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:31,200
Speaker 3: But the problem is you can't go into your your

567
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:34,880
Speaker 3: game plan can't be I'm not gonna turn the ball over, correct.

568
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 2: I we to me look at turnovers as a society,

569
00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 2: and for mossiety in the wrong way.

570
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:40,719
Speaker 8: Man.

571
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:44,840
Speaker 2: There are dumb turnovers, of course there are, but there

572
00:29:44,880 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 2: are just also quarterbacks trying to make a play and

573
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 2: like you're gonna they're gonna make mistakes. They're gonna make mistakes.

574
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:56,280
Speaker 2: And the thing is, when you design an offense the

575
00:29:56,360 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 2: way the Eagles do, your march with error is nothing

576
00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 2: like you have a couple of bad drives called bad quarters,

577
00:30:04,400 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you're down two scores now,

578
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:08,320
Speaker 2: and it's hard to turn it back on. It's hard

579
00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 2: to to not be playing well offensively and then just decide, okay,

580
00:30:11,760 --> 00:30:17,240
Speaker 2: let's score, now, let's score and that it's all those

581
00:30:17,320 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 2: things are issues for Philly right now. There's no solution.

582
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: I mean, you know the issues they had last year

583
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 2: or sort of trickling over now, but they covered them

584
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,960
Speaker 2: up because Barkley was so good and the offensive line

585
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 2: was so good. The defense was so good I think

586
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 2: yesterday though too man Like, your defense got bullied yesterday,

587
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,440
Speaker 2: which which was like rather shocking. The Bears offensive line

588
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:39,000
Speaker 2: is playing much better now that they've sort of gotten

589
00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:40,760
Speaker 2: used to playing all together, right, there had a bunch

590
00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 2: of new pieces last year. But like, you guys got

591
00:30:43,480 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 2: freaking bullied at the line of scoping. I mean, it's

592
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 2: the first time the Bears had two one hundred yard

593
00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:54,520
Speaker 2: runners in forty years yars rushing and yeah, and that

594
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:57,360
Speaker 2: was really surprising to me yesterday as well, that your

595
00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 2: defense sort of like just shocking.

596
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:01,120
Speaker 7: It was.

597
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, I mean it was shocking. I mean I

598
00:31:04,240 --> 00:31:06,880
Speaker 3: felt the Eagles would be the one with the two

599
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 3: hundred yards on the ground. I thought, since the Bears

600
00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,480
Speaker 3: are missing their three starting linebackers, right and the Eagles

601
00:31:14,520 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 3: are not, and Eagles have issues in the back end,

602
00:31:17,160 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 3: which they lost their safety. But he's not even a

603
00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:25,640
Speaker 3: run support safety, right, like he's Andrew mccoob I'm talking about.

604
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 3: I'm stunned that that they had their way like that

605
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 3: and just blowing the front got manhandled. That was the

606
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,240
Speaker 3: thing that stood out to me was just how bad

607
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:41,320
Speaker 3: Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis just got bullied inside.

608
00:31:42,600 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, it was. It was rather shocking. Look, this is

609
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,960
Speaker 2: a very valid and win for the Bears, who you know,

610
00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 2: you know we talked about a certain way. I think

611
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:53,080
Speaker 2: it was rightly fair, right, I mean they were plus

612
00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,480
Speaker 2: their minus three turnover differential, their eight and three intert

613
00:31:56,680 --> 00:31:59,760
Speaker 2: in a point differential, and I think we rightfully talked

614
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 2: about them in a way that was befitting of how

615
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,760
Speaker 2: they were looking, even though they're eye though they're you know,

616
00:32:04,800 --> 00:32:07,800
Speaker 2: their year was going well. How about just a validating

617
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:11,360
Speaker 2: win for for Ben Johnson yesterday? Right, he's a coach, man,

618
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 2: he's a good coach, and so you know, what what

619
00:32:14,280 --> 00:32:16,320
Speaker 2: do you guys do from here? Is? You know, like

620
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 2: the Eagles, you obviously still have a lot of football left.

621
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:20,520
Speaker 2: I don't think Dallas will catch you, but I'm not

622
00:32:20,560 --> 00:32:23,320
Speaker 2: gonna say they won't. Man, Listen, they could win out

623
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,000
Speaker 2: and the Eagles can the Eagles right now, they're eight

624
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,920
Speaker 2: and four. They got to go at the Chargers next week.

625
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 3: I know the Charges are banged up, but still, Uh,

626
00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,840
Speaker 3: then they got the Raiders, that's probably a win.

627
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,520
Speaker 2: Uh, and then it should be a win or else.

628
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,160
Speaker 2: The whole thing's go. If you don't beat the Raiders,

629
00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:43,840
Speaker 2: there's a lot of people that don't have jobs anymore.

630
00:32:44,160 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: And then you're at Washington at Buffalo home Washington. So

631
00:32:50,360 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 3: you got Washington twice. I mean, you should win both

632
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,080
Speaker 3: at at the very least is split. You'll beat the

633
00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,640
Speaker 3: Raiders and it comes down to charge do you probably

634
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 3: lose against Buffalo, And that's kind of where they're at.

635
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,720
Speaker 4: They should probably finish with eleven.

636
00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,800
Speaker 2: Or twelve nog of error, So right, they all have

637
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 2: to win out and they got Detroit next week, so

638
00:33:12,080 --> 00:33:16,560
Speaker 2: you know, I know, yeah, so I would expect the

639
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,120
Speaker 2: Eagles still hang on, but the Cowboys are feeling themselves

640
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,600
Speaker 2: and then we'll get to them in a little bit

641
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:25,320
Speaker 2: because of how good they looked Christmas Day in relation

642
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 2: to the Chiefs too. But back to the Eagles. What

643
00:33:29,920 --> 00:33:33,520
Speaker 2: I would do, God, I hate to say this, but

644
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:35,240
Speaker 2: I would. I would do this.

645
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,720
Speaker 3: I mean, Jalen would have an ancho injury and I

646
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,360
Speaker 3: would start McKee. And here's why, Right, I need to

647
00:33:45,480 --> 00:33:50,560
Speaker 3: figure out what is wrong with the offense and I

648
00:33:50,760 --> 00:33:55,680
Speaker 3: need to see McKee running. So and here's and here's

649
00:33:55,720 --> 00:34:00,200
Speaker 3: how I couch it. Jalen needs two weeks off. I

650
00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: need him to be he's banged up, right like, so

651
00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 3: we're saving face. You're banged up, and he needs to

652
00:34:07,560 --> 00:34:12,200
Speaker 3: see he's not seeing things. He's missing wide open guys.

653
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,440
Speaker 3: He's got to stick a step back. And sometimes, and

654
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 3: you know this, sometimes when the guy's on the sidelines

655
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,719
Speaker 3: for a couple of weeks, it changes their perspective and

656
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:27,480
Speaker 3: then at least I know his organization that because listen,

657
00:34:27,520 --> 00:34:30,279
Speaker 3: I'm not other coordinators tell me at times that they

658
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,359
Speaker 3: that they like McKee, not that they like McKey better

659
00:34:33,440 --> 00:34:36,560
Speaker 3: than Hertz, but they like McKee a lot. I mean

660
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 3: because like he'll run their offense right like right like

661
00:34:41,320 --> 00:34:44,520
Speaker 3: he'll do He's not gonna be his dynamic as Jalen, but.

662
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 2: He's gonna run their offense.

663
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:49,600
Speaker 3: And I think it would be good to see someone

664
00:34:49,760 --> 00:34:53,720
Speaker 3: different behind center just to kind of diagnose the issues.

665
00:34:55,239 --> 00:34:58,799
Speaker 2: Is John beat up right now? Well, you know as

666
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:02,160
Speaker 2: much as you're going to be in November. So you're

667
00:35:02,160 --> 00:35:05,600
Speaker 2: suggesting like like the like the Vikings being like MacArthur's

668
00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: a concussion. He's not playing right now. He's not playing.

669
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:10,600
Speaker 2: He's a concussion, And you're like where, I don't know,

670
00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 2: it just happened. It had trust us, trust us bro it.

671
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 2: That's what I would do. I mean I would I

672
00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:20,840
Speaker 2: I would do that.

673
00:35:21,040 --> 00:35:23,840
Speaker 3: I he'd have concussion and I'd sit him down and

674
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,960
Speaker 3: I go, listen, dude, you're you're not playing well.

675
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 2: You're missing guys. You need to sit down for two weeks.

676
00:35:31,200 --> 00:35:33,200
Speaker 2: You're still our number one. You're gonna come back the

677
00:35:33,280 --> 00:35:36,719
Speaker 2: whole mind. But I gotta I gotta get your head

678
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:39,600
Speaker 2: right and you got to sit and watch. And I

679
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: need to also diagnose Patola because what if it's a

680
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:50,160
Speaker 2: Hurts issue right now and not the OC. Now. No, listen,

681
00:35:50,239 --> 00:35:53,000
Speaker 2: I think it's the OC, but I think he's got issues.

682
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: But what if some of those issues are exacerbated by

683
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:00,759
Speaker 2: what the OC can call because Jalen's just not playing well.

684
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:04,440
Speaker 2: I mean, it's certainly fair. I don't know if you

685
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 2: can hanging one second, because we gotta take a time

686

698
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:50,920
Speaker 3: Full diagnosis now, Beatles, Well, well, the question I stopped

699
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 3: you just because I wanted you to elaborate and not

700
00:36:53,160 --> 00:36:53,640
Speaker 3: be rushed.

701
00:36:53,800 --> 00:37:04,560
Speaker 2: I I but you have to. I got add especially

702
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:09,239
Speaker 2: a number five and a half minutes later. How would

703
00:37:09,239 --> 00:37:10,560
Speaker 2: I fix the Eagles? Is that? I think that's what

704
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:19,000
Speaker 2: we're talking about, correct, Yeah, okay. I like when offenses

705
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:23,520
Speaker 2: are struggling and they they pick up the tempo. I

706
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:26,800
Speaker 2: think it's important to try to force your offense to

707
00:37:26,960 --> 00:37:30,279
Speaker 2: have to do to have to operate quicker. And what

708
00:37:30,440 --> 00:37:33,320
Speaker 2: it does is it obviously sort of everyone gets a

709
00:37:33,360 --> 00:37:38,960
Speaker 2: little more alert to what's happening. And when you force

710
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,280
Speaker 2: the ball out quickly by formation and by play design,

711
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,239
Speaker 2: it really simplifies who's fault it is.

712
00:37:45,480 --> 00:37:48,680
Speaker 3: They've been doing this, man, they've been yeah, but not

713
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:52,080
Speaker 3: the tempo piece of it. But it needs to be

714
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 3: a change. You have to pick the quarterback or to

715
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 3: co or the play caller.

716
00:37:58,280 --> 00:38:00,319
Speaker 2: Well, then then that's gotta be right now the play

717
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,320
Speaker 2: caller if you're picking someone. But I I don't know.

718
00:38:04,520 --> 00:38:08,920
Speaker 3: I really struggle because the quarterback is in See he

719
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 3: twice had guys wide open for touchdowns.

720
00:38:12,440 --> 00:38:15,320
Speaker 4: See the guy play you all staring in the face?

721
00:38:15,920 --> 00:38:18,160
Speaker 2: You also had it was a couple of plays when

722
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,200
Speaker 2: wide receivers are in the same spot on the field. Like, yes,

723
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,280
Speaker 2: it's it's it's not a great it's just not functioning

724
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,800
Speaker 2: very well. It's just it's just it's not And you

725
00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,840
Speaker 2: got to figure out why that isn't. I don't know

726
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:33,879
Speaker 2: if benching Jalen Hurts is the way to do it either.

727
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,840
Speaker 2: But well, again, the injury, you're you're not benching on

728
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,680
Speaker 2: your ear. He's he's missing two weeks with an injury,

729
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:44,600
Speaker 2: and he's got to get his head right. I mean,

730
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:47,600
Speaker 2: I mean, he hasn't played well all year. I mean,

731
00:38:47,640 --> 00:38:49,800
Speaker 2: it's the truth of the matter. Do you trust me.

732
00:38:49,880 --> 00:38:52,120
Speaker 4: I've seen it's all twenty two everyone.

733
00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:52,840
Speaker 2: I lived it.

734
00:38:53,280 --> 00:38:54,440
Speaker 4: It's he's not playing well.

735
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:59,000
Speaker 2: Do you think that he's not the quarterback of the

736
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:01,160
Speaker 2: future in Philly or do you think see he thinks

737
00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:03,200
Speaker 2: that he's a reset. I mean, obviously a new office

738
00:39:03,200 --> 00:39:05,839
Speaker 2: coordinator is going to happen this offseason. But but then

739
00:39:06,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: here's the problem with them. You want the truth. The

740
00:39:08,800 --> 00:39:12,080
Speaker 2: truth of the matter with Jalen is if he's not

741
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:16,080
Speaker 2: a part of the run game, he's not an effective quarterback.

742
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:19,279
Speaker 2: He needs to be part of the run game to

743
00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:22,839
Speaker 2: be effective. But to be that elite player, Yeah, it's

744
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,279
Speaker 2: it's a lot like Cam Newton, where you Cam like

745
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:27,279
Speaker 2: had to be hit and had to be part of

746
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 2: the run game for him just to feel to be

747
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:32,600
Speaker 2: better as a quarterback. The problem, of course, is that

748
00:39:32,920 --> 00:39:34,600
Speaker 2: the more times the quarterback gets hit, the less likely

749
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:35,439
Speaker 2: learn to stay healthy.

750
00:39:35,560 --> 00:39:37,960
Speaker 3: And I understand, I mean, but that's part of your

751
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 3: that's part of what it is. I mean Russ, Russ

752
00:39:41,560 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: was able to do it up until the end when

753
00:39:45,480 --> 00:39:46,360
Speaker 3: his legs finally go.

754
00:39:46,880 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 2: Russ was but they didn't really use Russ in the

755
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,520
Speaker 2: run game. He was a scrambler. Like I know, we're

756
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,480
Speaker 2: not design runs for hr I hear you. I which,

757
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 2: by the way, design quarterback runs I think are awesome,

758
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,360
Speaker 2: especially in the short yard, is a They're freaking awesome.

759
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:02,960
Speaker 2: And obviously Eagles have done it so well for touch,

760
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 2: but even fumble the twitch push yesterday. You fumble a

761
00:40:06,200 --> 00:40:09,439
Speaker 2: twitcht push yesterday. What do we do it in Philly? Yeah? Yeah,

762
00:40:10,200 --> 00:40:13,279
Speaker 2: he knows how to take care of himself though, I know,

763
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 2: but it's a it's accumulation of hits. It's it's a

764
00:40:15,480 --> 00:40:17,680
Speaker 2: lot and I get one two. He has to be

765
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:20,160
Speaker 2: a part of it, man. All the wise, he's not

766
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:22,960
Speaker 2: good enough and thrower to do it like.

786
00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:25,840
Speaker 2: you know, it's just we're not used to like, you know,

787
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:29,560
Speaker 2: wake up in the morning and the freeze a freeze warning, right, Like,

788
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,279
Speaker 2: it's a little different for us. So it's a little

789
00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,080
Speaker 2: chilly out here for our soft southern bones that are

790
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:38,200

793
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 3: right now, it's twenty nine degrees.

794
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,759
Speaker 2: I know it's cold because the fountains are on in

795
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:52,160
Speaker 2: the pool, which means that it's below freezing because they

796
00:41:52,239 --> 00:41:54,320
Speaker 2: run the fountains run to not freeze the pipe. So

797
00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,320
Speaker 2: I know, like that's that's my gay trow cold it

798
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:57,440
Speaker 2: is that the fountains are on or not.

Speaker 3: Fun and where everybody's pumped up. So we're we're excited

848
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:19,600
Speaker 3: for the big game today. Did you you were killing

849
00:44:19,640 --> 00:44:23,359
Speaker 3: every man? So you fried the turkeys. I've never had

850
00:44:23,480 --> 00:44:24,839
Speaker 3: deep fried turkey.

851

Speaker 2: Dude, but it's so good, so you reject it with

852
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: this creole butter and and you and you know, I

853
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:38,040
Speaker 2: telling you a picture right now and you you deep

854
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,480
Speaker 2: for about fifteen minutes, thirteen pound bird and it's the

855

Speaker 2: d yeah, And.

857
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,680
Speaker 4: Part of that's a good looking bird.

858
00:44:50,880 --> 00:44:53,080
Speaker 2: Look at that. Part of the thing with with chicken

859
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:55,719
Speaker 2: and turkey is is the breast, right, it's really dry

860
00:44:55,800 --> 00:44:59,319
Speaker 2: if it's cooking too long or this way doesn't get dry.

861
00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:02,240
Speaker 2: And then I throw in some extra lugs and wings

862
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,120
Speaker 2: for the rest. I like turkey, so I'll I'll eat

867
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:24,000
Speaker 2: a full pumpkin pie and other desserts charcuterie board. Beforehand.

868
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,239
Speaker 2: We had a full day on Thursday. It was a

869
00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:28,960
Speaker 2: lot of fun, family and football and we're just hanging

870
00:45:28,960 --> 00:45:30,399
Speaker 2: around the house. Yeah.

871
00:45:30,880 --> 00:45:34,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's great, man, A lot of fun, you know, like,

872
00:45:34,600 --> 00:45:37,799
Speaker 3: and the games were fantastic, So let's dive into them.

873
00:45:38,760 --> 00:45:46,800
Speaker 2: The Cowboys are hot, all man, and you listen, you

874
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:51,760
Speaker 2: were right. I was Chiefs, your fine Chiefs, your fine Chiefs.

875
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:55,239
Speaker 4: You're fine. And they weren't fine.

876
00:45:55,280 --> 00:45:59,239
Speaker 3: They even the magic, the magic couldn't beat the Cowboys.

877
00:45:59,320 --> 00:46:05,160
Speaker 3: Man Pickens with sensational again, CD with sensational dack Man,

878
00:46:05,200 --> 00:46:09,279
Speaker 3: that's a good defense, and that big blitz spags in

879
00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 3: him with a man zero.

880
00:46:11,120 --> 00:46:15,400
Speaker 2: After the Chiefs one twenty, she went up twenty one

881
00:46:15,440 --> 00:46:15,920
Speaker 2: to twenty.

882
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:20,879
Speaker 3: There was a big third and long spags go zero

883
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,360
Speaker 3: and Dak big play to Pickens down the sidelines.

884
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:30,879
Speaker 2: Shee's are not good right now, despite what the analytics say,

885
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:39,359
Speaker 2: despite what the number say. You you have to win

886
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:43,000
Speaker 2: big moments to be good in the National Football League

887
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,839
Speaker 2: as much as every play matters, and it certainly does,

888
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:49,480
Speaker 2: because you can't get to the end of games with

889
00:46:49,680 --> 00:46:51,839
Speaker 2: it being a touchdown or less unless you play well

890
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 2: to start to start the game right. But the game

891
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:58,920
Speaker 2: comes down to four to seven plays, always does, and

892
00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 2: for years as the Chiefs won those four to seven plays,

893
00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:06,320
Speaker 2: and they no longer win the four to seven plays anymore.

894
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:10,239
Speaker 2: It's the biggest problem. Right. You mentioned the last play

895
00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,600
Speaker 2: right where they needed to get a stop and couldn't

896
00:47:12,600 --> 00:47:18,560
Speaker 2: get it done. Mahomes, dude, this is absolutely wild the

897
00:47:18,719 --> 00:47:23,359
Speaker 2: Chiefs this seasons. I mean, Mahomes Chiefs. What everyone says.

898
00:47:23,440 --> 00:47:26,560
Speaker 2: Mahomes lost three comebacks his last eight games. So comeback

899
00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,520
Speaker 2: as defiance trailing the fourth thrower, took a lead and

900
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,760
Speaker 2: then lost the game. Right remember they were down twenty fourteen,

901
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,279
Speaker 2: they come back twenty one to twenty. He lost three

902
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:38,480
Speaker 2: comebacks his last eight games. It took Tom Brady two

903
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: hundred and nine starts to have his third loss comeback.

904
00:47:42,360 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 2: Oh man, So it's just not complimentary football. Right now.

905
00:47:47,320 --> 00:47:49,400
Speaker 2: They go up twenty one to twenty and the defensive

906
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:53,480
Speaker 2: media allows a touchdown. It's not good right now. They

907
00:47:53,560 --> 00:47:56,560
Speaker 2: can't rush the passer unless Chris Jones wins immediately. And then,

908
00:47:56,640 --> 00:47:59,000
Speaker 2: of course the other option is to blitz, and Spags

909
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:01,440
Speaker 2: did that all game and the first quarter they got

910
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:04,640
Speaker 2: a big interception. But since since that moment, Dak Prescott

911
00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:06,960
Speaker 2: was incredible against you know, against anything they game on

912
00:48:07,120 --> 00:48:10,919
Speaker 2: third down, it just was it's just being.

913
00:48:10,640 --> 00:48:13,239
Speaker 3: The blitz too, because now they get the ball out.

914
00:48:13,360 --> 00:48:14,919
Speaker 3: Quit me, Dak gets the ball out quick.

915
00:48:15,000 --> 00:48:17,440
Speaker 2: Correct, it's correct, and that that makes it a lot

916
00:48:17,480 --> 00:48:21,520
Speaker 2: more difficult. It's because they the the exceptional wide receivers

917
00:48:21,560 --> 00:48:24,080
Speaker 2: they have. And look, most teams have one corner that's

918
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: really good and one that's okay. It's a Chiefs, right McDuffie,

919
00:48:26,400 --> 00:48:28,840
Speaker 2: and he got burned in this game, and Watson's fine,

920
00:48:28,880 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: and they miss you know, they miss you know, Hicks

921
00:48:31,880 --> 00:48:33,120
Speaker 2: was out and they missed him, and this in the

922
00:48:33,200 --> 00:48:36,759
Speaker 2: back end. But more importantly, it's just it's not clean

923
00:48:36,880 --> 00:48:39,400
Speaker 2: enough this season. Again, it comes down to four to

924
00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,120
Speaker 2: seven plays in the game. The Chiefs are not good

925
00:48:41,120 --> 00:48:43,080
Speaker 2: at those four to seven plays right now. Their offensive

926
00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:45,239
Speaker 2: line is beat the heck. They got their out three

927
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,320
Speaker 2: guys that ended the game with with both their tackles

928
00:48:47,360 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 2: out and the right guards to start the game, and

929
00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:53,080
Speaker 2: so I I don't expect it to get better. Uh,

930
00:48:53,200 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 2: their schedule allows a little bit of flexibility, I think

931
00:48:56,120 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 2: with with a couple of the teams they played, But

932
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,960
Speaker 2: like Houston comes to town next week with that defense

933
00:49:00,080 --> 00:49:06,920
Speaker 2: of line, again, chief going to do against against that,

934
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:13,160
Speaker 2: against those tackles. And I do not believe that the

935
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,280
Speaker 2: Chiefs should fire Andy Reid. I think that's that's silly.

936
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:20,279
Speaker 2: But a lot of Eagles fans are talking about this

937
00:49:20,600 --> 00:49:22,520
Speaker 2: or like tweeting that this is how it felt at

938
00:49:22,560 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 2: the end with Andy Reid that I disagree with that

939
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,279
Speaker 2: that's wrong, but a bunch of tweets It doesn't matter

940
00:49:34,360 --> 00:49:38,759
Speaker 2: that random people don't. But the thing is that it

941
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:43,040
Speaker 2: is very stale and offense right now for the most part,

942
00:49:43,719 --> 00:49:46,920
Speaker 2: and I am curious to see what they do this

943
00:49:47,040 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 2: offseason to make it less stale. I think that there

944
00:49:49,120 --> 00:49:52,319
Speaker 2: are too many people on staff that are too close

945
00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,400
Speaker 2: to Andy Reid, right. I think it's important to have

946
00:49:54,600 --> 00:49:56,800
Speaker 2: dissenting voices at times. I think Eric b enemy. I

947
00:49:56,840 --> 00:49:58,520
Speaker 2: don't well, I don't know if Eric, you know, he

948
00:49:58,520 --> 00:50:01,040
Speaker 2: didn't design the offense, but a just sentive I think

949
00:50:01,480 --> 00:50:06,800
Speaker 2: a pushback voice, right, like he didn't design the offense.

950
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 2: We know how it works. But you need I'm not

951
00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:10,680
Speaker 2: saying the airk pianame's the reason why they're winning a losing,

952
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:13,480
Speaker 2: But you need someone I think that is capable of

953
00:50:13,520 --> 00:50:16,960
Speaker 2: pushing back a little bit the offense. Dude. Look, they

954
00:50:17,040 --> 00:50:19,920
Speaker 2: came out in the second drive, all right, and they

955
00:50:20,000 --> 00:50:23,319
Speaker 2: had two runs under center that went for like eight

956
00:50:23,440 --> 00:50:27,040
Speaker 2: and went for seven, like really good runs. They didn't

957
00:50:27,080 --> 00:50:29,960
Speaker 2: run under center for another three quarters and stuff like

958
00:50:30,040 --> 00:50:32,840
Speaker 2: that where it's like what what what we're like purposely,

959
00:50:32,840 --> 00:50:35,280
Speaker 2: it feels like we're purposely just not running a good place.

960
00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,759
Speaker 2: And so I concerns about the play calling and the

961
00:50:39,880 --> 00:50:42,000
Speaker 2: offense design. But in the end, look, they're just not

962
00:50:42,080 --> 00:50:43,720
Speaker 2: winning the big moments. It's kind of that simple.

963
00:50:44,320 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, they're not they're not winning a big moments.

964
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:49,680
Speaker 2: It is true.

965
00:50:50,480 --> 00:50:53,720
Speaker 4: It doesn't trust me someone who who rode with Andy

966
00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:54,839
Speaker 4: during that period of time.

967
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:57,320
Speaker 2: This is not that time. It does not feel like

968
00:50:57,400 --> 00:51:02,680
Speaker 2: that feels pretty good for you, Jerry Jones, though they're hot.

969
00:51:03,239 --> 00:51:04,600
Speaker 4: They're hot, man, with this.

970
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 2: It's so good in Dallas right now that Jerry Jones

971
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:11,040
Speaker 2: out here telling people that he offered the Jets Michael

972
00:51:11,040 --> 00:51:13,359
Speaker 2: Parsons and a first round pick for Quinn Williams. That's

973
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:15,479
Speaker 2: how it's going so well right now, that Jerry's making

974
00:51:15,560 --> 00:51:20,239
Speaker 2: up trades that the offer teams just just just to

975
00:51:20,400 --> 00:51:24,640
Speaker 2: like he said that he offered, he offered. So he said,

976
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:30,320
Speaker 2: he offered Michael Parsons and the first round pick for

977
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:33,520
Speaker 2: Quinn Williams, and the Jets said no, right right, because

978
00:51:33,520 --> 00:51:34,760
Speaker 2: they couldn't afford Michael Parsons.

979
00:51:35,920 --> 00:51:40,439
Speaker 4: You Afford Parsons. Yeah, it's stupid. You're right right right.

980
00:51:40,520 --> 00:51:43,480
Speaker 2: Now Dallas brings up something that I that I think

981
00:51:43,719 --> 00:51:47,480
Speaker 2: it's so important to talk about. Okay, so we often

982
00:51:47,560 --> 00:51:50,440
Speaker 2: talk about it's so true about right like you you

983
00:51:50,719 --> 00:51:53,960
Speaker 2: want to play well at the end of the season.

984
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:57,400
Speaker 2: You want to be peaking right now. Okay, you agree

985
00:51:57,400 --> 00:51:59,120
Speaker 2: on that. I agree on that. You want to you

986
00:51:59,160 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: want to be peeking right now. The that's for playoff teams,

987
00:52:04,800 --> 00:52:08,239
Speaker 2: right they want to be peaking at the moment. But

988
00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:15,759
Speaker 2: we often ignore early season results when we conveniently want

989
00:52:15,760 --> 00:52:17,719
Speaker 2: to be like, oh, it given matter, like they'll figure

990
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,839
Speaker 2: it out, they'll you know, they'll they'll get better. Well,

991
00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,719
Speaker 2: the Cowboys right now are great example of why those

992
00:52:23,760 --> 00:52:26,879
Speaker 2: games matter all season long. The Cowboys are playing better

993
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: football right now, but because they lost the Panthers and

994
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:34,280
Speaker 2: the Bears and the Cardinals, they're not making the playoffs.

995
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:38,640
Speaker 2: So all the I'm playing better now, we're playing better now. Great,

996
00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: it's awesome, they're peaking and they won't be a playoff

997
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,080
Speaker 2: team because they lost games or in the season they

998
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 2: shouldn't have lost. And the games all matter, and of

999
00:52:46,920 --> 00:52:49,480
Speaker 2: course you want to be playing better now. But if

1000
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,359
Speaker 2: you win the early games, doesn't matter how good you're

1001
00:52:51,360 --> 00:52:52,719
Speaker 2: playing now, you're not gonna be in the playoffs. The

1002
00:52:52,719 --> 00:52:55,560
Speaker 2: Cowboys have such an uphill climb to make it because

1003
00:52:55,600 --> 00:52:58,120
Speaker 2: they blew games early seas they shouldn't have lost. So

1004
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:01,200
Speaker 2: all this good will, all this feeling good, it might,

1005
00:53:01,360 --> 00:53:03,200
Speaker 2: it might lead to a back door. You're way to

1006
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:05,920
Speaker 2: the postseason. Maybe the Lions crumble down the shat down

1007
00:53:05,920 --> 00:53:07,840
Speaker 2: they play Thursday, and whoever wins Thursday is in. I

1008
00:53:07,880 --> 00:53:11,760
Speaker 2: think the loser is probably out. But you set yourself

1009
00:53:11,840 --> 00:53:13,680
Speaker 2: up because you didn't win there on the season to

1010
00:53:13,800 --> 00:53:15,120
Speaker 2: have to be perfect this time of year.

1011
00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:19,840
Speaker 3: Right now, your point's right on. Uh, here's who the

1012
00:53:19,880 --> 00:53:25,280
Speaker 3: Cowboys have left. You mentioned at Detroit Thursday home Minnesota,

1013
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:34,439
Speaker 3: home Chargers, at Commanders, at Giants. The last four extremely winnable. Look,

1014
00:53:34,640 --> 00:53:36,839
Speaker 3: you can only you only go one at a time.

1015
00:53:37,200 --> 00:53:41,680
Speaker 3: If you are able to beat Detroit and the Lions

1016
00:53:41,800 --> 00:53:46,680
Speaker 3: right now are Scoffland. If you could beat Detroit and

1017
00:53:46,760 --> 00:53:48,200
Speaker 3: they have trouble in their back end.

1018
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,800
Speaker 2: The interesting down you, as an Eagles fan, wants the

1019
00:53:53,880 --> 00:53:55,759
Speaker 2: chaos of the Cowboys trying to catch the Eagles. I

1020
00:53:55,760 --> 00:53:57,520
Speaker 2: think I think, deep down you want you want that

1021
00:53:57,640 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 2: chaos in your life, like you want a reason for

1022
00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:06,400
Speaker 2: them to fire Sirianni. No, not took a little bit

1023
00:54:06,440 --> 00:54:08,920
Speaker 2: too long to say no. It's a little bit too

1024
00:54:09,000 --> 00:54:12,799
Speaker 2: long to say no, sir. Listen, I don't think they're gonna.

1025
00:54:12,880 --> 00:54:15,399
Speaker 2: I don't think they need to fire Sirianne. I don't

1026
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:18,600
Speaker 2: think that's what it is. I there's some issues with him,

1027
00:54:20,520 --> 00:54:26,320
Speaker 2: but you know, no, I don't. I think it's interesting.

1028
00:54:27,200 --> 00:54:29,759
Speaker 3: It's I always think it's better when the Cowboys are

1029
00:54:29,840 --> 00:54:33,400
Speaker 3: good for the rivalry, when the Giants are good, you know,

1030
00:54:33,520 --> 00:54:35,759
Speaker 3: like I like that stuff. When when the when the

1031
00:54:35,840 --> 00:54:39,839
Speaker 3: teams are good, when the division stakes, it's not fun,

1032
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 3: not as fun.

1033
00:54:41,440 --> 00:54:44,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, obviously like anybody else, you like the wins,

1034
00:54:44,160 --> 00:54:46,479
Speaker 2: but it's it's fun when they're you know, they're really

1035
00:54:46,600 --> 00:54:50,160
Speaker 2: big games and division games. You played in the NFC East,

1036
00:54:50,280 --> 00:54:53,480
Speaker 2: Yeah you know about that. Yeah, it is fun when

1037
00:54:53,600 --> 00:54:59,160
Speaker 2: when those games matter, and it's yeah, I mean, look,

1038
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:02,880
Speaker 2: the Cowboys have to they just have to make it

1039
00:55:03,040 --> 00:55:05,359
Speaker 2: up quickly and they can't have no March of for error.

1040
00:55:07,160 --> 00:55:12,719
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, no watching for her. But they're hot and

1041
00:55:13,440 --> 00:55:17,160
Speaker 3: they could easily go to Detroit and win that game.

1042
00:55:17,440 --> 00:55:21,160
Speaker 3: You know that game, talk about the over that games.

1043
00:55:21,320 --> 00:55:24,400
Speaker 3: That's good games, gonna be wild. Now, the Cowboys defense

1044
00:55:25,120 --> 00:55:28,560
Speaker 3: got better in the middle of it, I'm curious better

1045
00:55:28,600 --> 00:55:32,440
Speaker 3: against the run. The Packers were able to shut down Gibbs,

1046
00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 3: which was shocking. And then here's the other thing. When

1047
00:55:37,760 --> 00:55:41,920
Speaker 3: we talk about the Lions, you know it bit Dan Campbell.

1048
00:55:42,040 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 3: I love Dan, but it bit them against San Francisco

1049
00:55:45,239 --> 00:55:49,920
Speaker 3: and this whole idea of go go, go, go for

1050
00:55:50,120 --> 00:55:52,840
Speaker 3: it again, I thought there were times when he should

1051
00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:55,960
Speaker 3: have took the points. He's thirteen for twenty six on

1052
00:55:56,120 --> 00:55:59,719
Speaker 3: fourth downs. That's like having thirteen turnovers.

1053
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:06,319
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know when when you build the plane out

1054
00:56:06,360 --> 00:56:09,960
Speaker 2: of that you know, like I I don't know how

1055
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,279
Speaker 2: you just stop doing it. That to me feels like

1056
00:56:12,360 --> 00:56:15,200
Speaker 2: something you figure out in the off season. But their

1057
00:56:15,239 --> 00:56:19,520
Speaker 2: successes here has not been as good as it as

1058
00:56:19,560 --> 00:56:21,759
Speaker 2: it needs to be in a fourth down. But look,

1059
00:56:21,800 --> 00:56:23,560
Speaker 2: they dropped the pass though, right that was that was

1060
00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:25,799
Speaker 2: now that the one play call in the the trap

1061
00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:27,960
Speaker 2: was a pretty bad play call. But drop the pass

1062
00:56:28,040 --> 00:56:31,960
Speaker 2: on fourth down again, it's what they are. Look, I'm

1063
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:34,120
Speaker 2: always of the opinion you just you play to who

1064
00:56:34,200 --> 00:56:38,000
Speaker 2: you are and doesn't work. It doesn't work. But you

1065
00:56:38,080 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 2: know your process. If that's your process, that should be

1066
00:56:40,400 --> 00:56:41,680
Speaker 2: always be your process. You shouldn't be one of the

1067
00:56:41,719 --> 00:56:43,759
Speaker 2: teams I think that like just figures out as they go.

1068
00:56:44,840 --> 00:56:47,080
Speaker 2: But you're right, it is absolutely backfire than the season.

1069
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:52,919
Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I uh, you know there was a point

1070
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 2: that time in that game where if you just take

1071
00:56:56,000 --> 00:56:59,879
Speaker 2: to three because sometimes what is lost in the train

1072
00:57:00,800 --> 00:57:04,600
Speaker 2: is and you know better anybody because that you are

1073
00:57:04,680 --> 00:57:07,720
Speaker 2: a good player and you understand it. It's like mixing

1074
00:57:07,800 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 2: an extra point, like when you have a long drive

1075
00:57:11,400 --> 00:57:14,520
Speaker 2: and come away with nothing. Yeah, there's a sag at

1076
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:16,680
Speaker 2: the end of it. I'm glad you said this because

1077
00:57:16,720 --> 00:57:19,320
Speaker 2: this is something that I in this specific situation. I

1078
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:21,280
Speaker 2: argue with my friends a lot about this that that

1079
00:57:21,360 --> 00:57:23,280
Speaker 2: didn't play it. I'm not trying to be the leadist here,

1080
00:57:23,320 --> 00:57:25,080
Speaker 2: but you know, like a team will be down thirty

1081
00:57:25,080 --> 00:57:26,440
Speaker 2: eight nothing and the kick a field goal to go

1082
00:57:26,520 --> 00:57:28,880
Speaker 2: down thirty eight three, and I'll just be like, guys,

1083
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:31,680
Speaker 2: it's hard to score it. It feels good coming out

1084
00:57:31,680 --> 00:57:33,880
Speaker 2: the field to get the field goal, even if you're

1085
00:57:33,880 --> 00:57:37,040
Speaker 2: getting your butts kicked. Yeah, it just feels good. You

1086
00:57:37,160 --> 00:57:41,840
Speaker 2: accomplished your goal to drive on scoring points and sometimes

1087
00:57:42,280 --> 00:57:47,560
Speaker 2: you're down ten getting the three points, A, you feel

1088
00:57:47,600 --> 00:57:49,440
Speaker 2: good about scoring. B you feel like you're in the game,

1089
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:52,920
Speaker 2: and see your defense feels like they're in the game. Still. Yeah,

1090
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,760
Speaker 2: of course, if you get a touchdown you go down three,

1091
00:57:54,760 --> 00:57:56,240
Speaker 2: you a better chance to win the game. I get

1092
00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:58,240
Speaker 2: I get the numbers, I get the analytics behind it.

1093
00:57:58,320 --> 00:58:01,120
Speaker 2: I'm not arguing against it. Members are what they are.

1094
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:06,080
Speaker 2: But getting three points is a successful drive as long

1095
00:58:06,120 --> 00:58:08,120
Speaker 2: as you have to feel like like you are doing

1096
00:58:08,200 --> 00:58:10,640
Speaker 2: a good job. Toue to play hard. It's it's a

1097
00:58:10,760 --> 00:58:12,960
Speaker 2: very physical, violent sport. If you think you're not doing

1098
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,520
Speaker 2: it for a purpose in a game, that you're gonna

1099
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:18,280
Speaker 2: get your butts kicked even more so. I'm with you.

1100
00:58:18,560 --> 00:58:22,400
Speaker 2: I'm with you on that. I'm maybe speaking on two

1101
00:58:22,400 --> 00:58:24,040
Speaker 2: sides of my mouth because I do think that that

1102
00:58:24,160 --> 00:58:26,920
Speaker 2: there's you know, I think that the full steamate head

1103
00:58:26,920 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: approach of Campbell I do like I do too, I

1104
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:30,160
Speaker 2: do too.

1105
00:58:30,200 --> 00:58:32,840
Speaker 3: I just think with it's with reason within reason, and

1106
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:38,360
Speaker 3: also he's got to read the situation better, Like two

1107
00:58:38,440 --> 00:58:41,960
Speaker 3: years ago, getting San Francisco, there's no reason to go

1108
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:42,320
Speaker 3: for it.

1109
00:58:42,600 --> 00:58:45,480
Speaker 4: There's just no reason and we was just take the points.

1110
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:47,160
Speaker 4: It's add to the lead.

1111
00:58:48,800 --> 00:58:53,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't disagree, but I'm just saying that like

1112
00:58:53,240 --> 00:58:56,320
Speaker 2: that that is is because of you live you live

1113
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,200
Speaker 2: and die by It's kind of crazy. Yeah, I just

1114
00:58:59,240 --> 00:59:02,120
Speaker 2: think you need to you could you could choose it better,

1115
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,240
Speaker 2: but I like I get it.

1116
00:59:04,080 --> 00:59:04,200
Speaker 8: Uh.

1117
00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 3: My man Nick on the text board says, can the

1118
00:59:09,320 --> 00:59:13,520
Speaker 3: Eagles get to eleven? Because I could see the Cowboys

1119
00:59:13,640 --> 00:59:20,360
Speaker 3: at worse ten six and one, So the Eagles are

1120
00:59:20,440 --> 00:59:25,840
Speaker 3: eight to four, they're at Well, I ask you at

1121
00:59:26,120 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 3: the Chargers next week.

1122
00:59:27,960 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: Chargers are banged up, but you know, I look the

1123
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:36,000
Speaker 2: Cowboys where they're playing, gotta keep winning for your Philly.

1124
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:38,680
Speaker 2: I look, but if you're an Eagles, you got the

1125
00:59:38,760 --> 00:59:41,120
Speaker 2: Chargers next week, you win or lose. I think you win.

1126
00:59:41,320 --> 00:59:44,000
Speaker 2: I think, but the way they're playing offensively, who knows. Right?

1127
00:59:44,760 --> 00:59:47,160
Speaker 2: Then you got the Raiders, so they're gonna beat the Raiders.

1128
00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,360
Speaker 2: And the thing about well, the we can beat the

1129
00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:52,400
Speaker 2: Raiders me and you just too long to beat the Raiders. Yeah,

1130
00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:56,640
Speaker 2: they're look same with Kansas City, where you feel like

1131
00:59:56,680 --> 00:59:58,680
Speaker 2: you just sort of flip that switch and get going,

1132
00:59:58,960 --> 01:00:00,520
Speaker 2: and you figure it out, you're gonna be fine. But

1133
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:02,120
Speaker 2: it's late in the season to start doing that like

1134
01:00:02,200 --> 01:00:04,440
Speaker 2: that doesn't that really isn't a thing in the NFL.

1135
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:06,280
Speaker 2: I know people love to think that that you can

1136
01:00:06,360 --> 01:00:09,480
Speaker 2: flip a switch, and I just don't think that's happening

1137
01:00:09,520 --> 01:00:11,080
Speaker 2: for Philly. I don't think it's having for Kansas City.

1138
01:00:11,080 --> 01:00:12,400
Speaker 2: If you would have done that, you would have flipped

1139
01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:15,080
Speaker 2: with yesterday. If you're leagals, you would have filed with yesterday,

1140
01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:17,280
Speaker 2: if your two things over the Chiefs. Just not happening

1141
01:00:17,360 --> 01:00:21,320
Speaker 2: this season for those teams. If the Cowboys won the

1142
01:00:21,400 --> 01:00:27,280
Speaker 2: actually won the division. We're looking at AFC, that's probably

1143
01:00:27,400 --> 01:00:30,600
Speaker 2: not going to have a winner. That's Kansas City, Buffalo

1144
01:00:30,800 --> 01:00:35,760
Speaker 2: or Baltimore. It's gonna be someone else in in the NFC.

1145
01:00:35,880 --> 01:00:38,240
Speaker 2: It's probably it's their known teams, just a matter of

1146
01:00:38,280 --> 01:00:39,680
Speaker 2: who the team is. I think it's the Rams at

1147
01:00:39,720 --> 01:00:46,360
Speaker 2: the moment, but the AFC man it's any New England, Denver.

1148
01:00:47,040 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 2: I think it's Denver, Indianapolis. Like I I, I don't

1149
01:00:50,280 --> 01:00:52,440
Speaker 2: know any of those teams. It's not gonna be Buffalo

1150
01:00:52,560 --> 01:00:55,040
Speaker 2: with their run defense siy Kana City might even make

1151
01:00:55,040 --> 01:00:58,360
Speaker 2: the playoffs, not gonna be Baltimore. The AFC fields wide open. Man,

1152
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,080
Speaker 2: it does all right.

1153
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:06,080

01:02:24,160 --> 01:02:26,560
Speaker 2: up at the top of the hour and take a

1178
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:30,720
Speaker 2: deeper dive into Michigan, Ohio State and all the rivalries

1179
01:02:30,840 --> 01:02:33,920
Speaker 2: and go through the game by game. Give you who

1180
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:34,280
Speaker 2: we like.

1181
01:02:34,320 --> 01:02:39,000
Speaker 3: From betting standpoint as well. Uh the question for you,

1182
01:02:39,120 --> 01:02:44,760
Speaker 3: my man, Gunnar Uh. Gunnar Thomas on Twitter says, listen,

1183
01:02:45,840 --> 01:02:48,800
Speaker 3: I think the Panthers can make the playoffs.

1184
01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,480
Speaker 2: No, no, no shot. Well, I guess I take it back.

1185
01:02:53,280 --> 01:02:55,360
Speaker 2: They're not good enough to make the playoffs, but Tampa

1186
01:02:55,440 --> 01:02:58,440
Speaker 2: Bay with their injuries right now, who knows, right Well,

1187
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:01,400
Speaker 2: that's what I'm saying, man. Like the Panther is just

1188
01:03:01,920 --> 01:03:07,200
Speaker 2: Baker good, good, pretty fun story so far this year.

1189
01:03:07,240 --> 01:03:09,440
Speaker 2: I just don't think they're as good as the record,

1190
01:03:09,480 --> 01:03:12,280
Speaker 2: and so that feels like a pretty hard sell for me.

1191
01:03:13,840 --> 01:03:16,520
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was funny. I thought that they would play

1192
01:03:16,680 --> 01:03:22,200
Speaker 3: San Francisco tougher. I actually thought offensively they would move

1193
01:03:22,280 --> 01:03:25,320
Speaker 3: the ball a little bit more than they did and

1194
01:03:25,400 --> 01:03:27,160
Speaker 3: they were just a mess Monday night.

1195
01:03:27,320 --> 01:03:30,120
Speaker 2: And horrendous interception by Bryce Young there as well. Like,

1196
01:03:30,240 --> 01:03:32,120
Speaker 2: they just still sort of make some of those mistakes

1197
01:03:32,160 --> 01:03:35,120
Speaker 2: that I think are really hurtful to championship, you know,

1198
01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:36,400
Speaker 2: with division winning football.

1199
01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:41,560
Speaker 3: Back to the AFC for a second. Two things I

1200
01:03:41,680 --> 01:03:44,320
Speaker 3: want to do. One, I got to just give some

1201
01:03:44,480 --> 01:03:45,440
Speaker 3: love to Joe Burrow.

1202
01:03:45,960 --> 01:03:48,120
Speaker 2: You know a lot of people were like, ah, what

1203
01:03:48,200 --> 01:03:50,720
Speaker 2: are you doing, You're coming back, You're three and eight.

1204
01:03:51,160 --> 01:03:55,400
Speaker 3: Just shut him down, and he's like, shut shut me down.

1205
01:03:55,440 --> 01:03:58,440
Speaker 3: Why would I shut it down? I want to play football.

1206
01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:04,360
Speaker 3: And watching him Thursday night, the joy of him while

1207
01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:09,320
Speaker 3: playing the game, listening to him after talking about how

1208
01:04:09,440 --> 01:04:10,640
Speaker 3: much he loves to play the game.

1209
01:04:11,200 --> 01:04:13,560
Speaker 4: I love that, dude, man. I felt that that was

1210
01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:17,160
Speaker 4: just awesome. Look, I think.

1211
01:04:18,560 --> 01:04:20,640
Speaker 2: The reason why you play him is what we saw

1212
01:04:21,920 --> 01:04:26,480
Speaker 2: is what we saw right, is the entire team gets

1213
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:29,120
Speaker 2: uplifted when he plays right. The defense much was much better.

1214
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:32,000
Speaker 2: He's the leader, he's he is the leader of their

1215
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:37,200
Speaker 2: of their of their team, and everyone plays better when

1216
01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: he's back in the lineup. He gives them hope, he

1217
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:47,080
Speaker 2: gives he gives them hope, he gives them life. And

1218
01:04:48,600 --> 01:04:51,040
Speaker 2: that's why you play him. It's that simple. He's a

1219
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:53,040
Speaker 2: starting call by National Football he's healthy to play. The

1220
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:55,120
Speaker 2: doctors clear to him you have to play him. I

1221
01:04:55,480 --> 01:05:00,760
Speaker 2: never bought the idea that he has to say, because

1222
01:05:00,840 --> 01:05:03,000
Speaker 2: he might get hurt again. Now, he might get hurt again, absolutely,

1223
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:08,040
Speaker 2: but just just him being back gave that team a

1224
01:05:08,120 --> 01:05:11,560
Speaker 2: new life. Yeah, it did.

1225
01:05:12,120 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 3: And and and I just love the I loved his

1226
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:18,040
Speaker 3: attitude and and and towards the game and and and

1227
01:05:18,120 --> 01:05:18,640
Speaker 3: the whole thing.

1228
01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:19,320
Speaker 2: I'm with you.

1229
01:05:19,960 --> 01:05:20,480
Speaker 4: It was fun.

1230
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:24,880
Speaker 2: It was fun to see. Man, this is a weird

1231
01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:30,800
Speaker 2: year though. What is wrong with the ravens Lamar just

1232
01:05:30,920 --> 01:05:33,280
Speaker 2: does not look right? Man, he just has to look

1233
01:05:33,520 --> 01:05:38,840
Speaker 2: Since that injury, he hasn't looked right at all. There's

1234
01:05:38,920 --> 01:05:44,920
Speaker 2: just something. There's something not quite right with Baltimore general

1235
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:56,040
Speaker 2: this season. And and I I can't, I can't pinpoint it.

1236
01:05:58,120 --> 01:06:00,680
Speaker 2: It's something to do with their offense. Lamar hasn't look

1237
01:06:00,760 --> 01:06:03,200
Speaker 2: right since the injury. Now, before the injury, he was

1238
01:06:03,280 --> 01:06:07,640
Speaker 2: bawling out right. Since then, he just the passing game

1239
01:06:07,800 --> 01:06:13,959
Speaker 2: is way off. Yeah. Well, the passing even fundamentally isn't

1240
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 2: a great passing game because they don't have great wide

1241
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,960
Speaker 2: receivers and it's never been great. But he's cooking a

1242
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:23,400
Speaker 2: little bit, would say. And man, it going with tight

1243
01:06:23,560 --> 01:06:27,040
Speaker 2: ends look sort of like Philly where Colts. I think

1244
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:28,440
Speaker 2: they're in this Boat were like, if you don't run

1245
01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:32,440
Speaker 2: the football, quarterbacks is not as good, right, Like A

1246
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:35,840
Speaker 2: big part of ending that offense is the threat of

1247
01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 2: the run, and it's just it's not as good when

1248
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:39,920
Speaker 2: you're not running the football. There's not running footba as

1249
01:06:39,960 --> 01:06:40,480
Speaker 2: well this season.

1250
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:43,600
Speaker 4: Man, I don't know.

1251
01:06:43,920 --> 01:06:47,920
Speaker 2: I you know, I thought that they they cooked in

1252
01:06:48,040 --> 01:06:50,680
Speaker 2: the in the past game and at least early on too.

1253
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:54,520
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, I like Zay Flowers and and

1254
01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:58,640
Speaker 2: Bateman's all right, and then the tight ends work. I mean,

1255
01:06:58,800 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 2: I'm just surprised that it looks that off that it's

1256
01:07:02,960 --> 01:07:09,960
Speaker 2: that askew Uh, I don't. I wish I had the

1257
01:07:10,040 --> 01:07:13,280
Speaker 2: reason why, but I the whole team hasn't been great

1258
01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:16,040
Speaker 2: this year. Let's injury.

1259
01:07:16,680 --> 01:07:19,800
Speaker 3: They were crossed early by injuries, and they didn't reworked

1260
01:07:19,800 --> 01:07:20,560
Speaker 3: their secondary.

1261
01:07:21,360 --> 01:07:22,280
Speaker 2: No, I hear you.

1262
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:24,960
Speaker 4: I mean it's it's been a The a f C

1263
01:07:25,200 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 4: is just utterly bizarre, right.

1264
01:07:26,760 --> 01:07:31,040
Speaker 3: The Bills have all kinds of issues, The Ravens have

1265
01:07:31,160 --> 01:07:34,280
Speaker 3: all kinds of issues, and the Chiefs, we we talked

1266
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:37,800
Speaker 3: about them. The three teams that we all thought were

1267
01:07:37,960 --> 01:07:41,600
Speaker 3: locks as the top three in the a f C

1268
01:07:42,680 --> 01:07:43,720
Speaker 3: are all in trouble.

1269
01:07:45,960 --> 01:07:48,960
Speaker 2: Yes, I think right now, if I were to put

1270
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:50,640
Speaker 2: money on a team, it would be Denver to an

1271
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:54,160
Speaker 2: a FC. I never thought I would say that, but

1272
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:56,920
Speaker 2: I think I just don't want the quarterback.

1273
01:07:57,200 --> 01:07:57,400
Speaker 7: I know.

1274
01:07:57,560 --> 01:08:00,360
Speaker 2: But okay, I have a question. Let's say that that

1275
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:04,240
Speaker 2: you've got ten better boat Knicks. Is that ever winning

1276
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,919
Speaker 2: the AFC? What more you need to see? Im from? Next?

1277
01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:11,640
Speaker 2: I'm with you. But with their defense, run game, offensive line, weapons,

1278
01:08:11,680 --> 01:08:13,760
Speaker 2: like they're better than New England and they're better than

1279
01:08:13,800 --> 01:08:17,879
Speaker 2: the Colts. I don't know. But but listen, your defense

1280
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:23,360
Speaker 2: is really good, and but their their offense is just

1281
01:08:23,680 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 2: not a scary offense.

1282
01:08:27,600 --> 01:08:30,200
Speaker 3: And so while while their defense is good, it's not

1283
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 3: like it's the you know, the two thousand and one

1284
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:38,240
Speaker 3: or Ravens, two thousand Ravens. It's good, good, good defense.

1285
01:08:38,760 --> 01:08:40,760
Speaker 3: I just don't think your offense doesn't scare me. And

1286
01:08:40,960 --> 01:08:43,960
Speaker 3: in any facet, a lot offenses.

1287
01:08:43,479 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Don't scare you. Right now, it's a problem with the sport,

1288
01:08:46,200 --> 01:08:49,720
Speaker 2: I think. And so I mean there's no run game

1289
01:08:49,800 --> 01:08:52,280
Speaker 2: being oh my god, I'm you're afraid of that run game?

1290
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,840
Speaker 2: Like I look at that team and and you know, again,

1291
01:08:57,040 --> 01:09:00,559
Speaker 2: you know, the coach is good and there. They're fashional

1292
01:09:00,640 --> 01:09:03,960
Speaker 2: and they're they're good. But I don't know. I'd mean,

1293
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:06,320
Speaker 2: I I can't say that New England can't beat them,

1294
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:10,280
Speaker 2: only we can beat them. Look, we we we often

1295
01:09:10,320 --> 01:09:13,240
Speaker 2: seen the postseason that experience does matter and the sort

1296
01:09:13,240 --> 01:09:15,360
Speaker 2: of the first time in like Drake May and the

1297
01:09:15,439 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: Patriots probably not going to be as clean as you want.

1298
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:20,760
Speaker 2: It to be a little bit of struggle. Like look,

1299
01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:22,680
Speaker 2: Denver played in the PLAYFF game. It wasn't pretty, but

1300
01:09:22,680 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 2: they played in the PLAYFF game last season. You know

1301
01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:29,680
Speaker 2: that it would be New England sort of first opportunity

1302
01:09:29,760 --> 01:09:31,880
Speaker 2: with this team, it's probably not gonna be as clean

1303
01:09:31,920 --> 01:09:32,600
Speaker 2: as they wanted to be.

1304
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:37,599
Speaker 4: So here's where we stay in playoff wise.

1305
01:09:39,800 --> 01:09:43,200
Speaker 2: Patriots obviously, uh with a with a big lead, two

1306
01:09:43,200 --> 01:09:45,320
Speaker 2: and a half game lead over to over Buffalo.

1307
01:09:46,360 --> 01:09:51,559
Speaker 3: Uh, the North is wild. I mean it's just wild.

1308
01:09:52,479 --> 01:09:59,519
Speaker 3: You know, Pittsburgh against Buffalo. Buffalo wins Pittsburgh Baltimore both

1309
01:09:59,640 --> 01:10:05,000
Speaker 3: six and six and in Cincinnati's only two games behind him. Yeah,

1310
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:09,880
Speaker 3: and their defense played really well. I don't know, I mean,

1311
01:10:09,960 --> 01:10:12,879
Speaker 3: I don't trust either of there's all the two teams.

1312
01:10:14,240 --> 01:10:16,000
Speaker 2: I just don't trust the Bengals defense. I mean that

1313
01:10:16,240 --> 01:10:18,320
Speaker 2: might be the worst union of the three teams we're

1314
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,479
Speaker 2: talking about, and that that feels unlikely for them to

1315
01:10:20,560 --> 01:10:25,439
Speaker 2: do much else because of that, you know, like, like

1316
01:10:25,560 --> 01:10:29,040
Speaker 2: I agree with you, but the Bengals defense, unless they

1317
01:10:29,200 --> 01:10:30,840
Speaker 2: just magically change, it's it's a.

1318
01:10:31,200 --> 01:10:33,600
Speaker 4: I mean they played well Thursday night. Grant me.

1319
01:10:33,800 --> 01:10:36,240
Speaker 3: We just got done talking about the Raven struggles. But

1320
01:10:36,920 --> 01:10:44,200
Speaker 3: they played well the Colts, right, I go, okay, you know,

1321
01:10:44,560 --> 01:10:47,200
Speaker 3: I mean they're good Jacksonville.

1322
01:10:47,240 --> 01:10:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't. I don't get a little bit, do you.

1323
01:10:50,640 --> 01:10:52,880
Speaker 2: I don't at all know? And I mean they turned

1324
01:10:52,880 --> 01:10:54,640
Speaker 2: the ball were four times last week there minus four

1325
01:10:54,720 --> 01:10:56,840
Speaker 2: turn was in won a game, which feels like impossible

1326
01:10:56,880 --> 01:11:00,360
Speaker 2: to do obviously, Like that's right, that's near impossible. I

1327
01:11:00,680 --> 01:11:04,560
Speaker 2: like the Texans because I love their defense. Correct, but

1328
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,240
Speaker 2: we don't know what we're getting with Stroud coming back

1329
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:10,160
Speaker 2: off injury, right or concussion? Right? But I mean they're

1330
01:11:10,200 --> 01:11:15,720
Speaker 2: gonna win this week? Who is the Texans? Yeah? I

1331
01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,560
Speaker 2: think so too. I like them. That's plus four and

1332
01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:22,120
Speaker 2: a half. No, I think it's smart. That's a smart

1333
01:11:22,160 --> 01:11:25,400
Speaker 2: play man, Jones. With this fracture that's happening right now,

1334
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:28,160
Speaker 2: he's playing through it, which I give him, I mean

1335
01:11:28,240 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 2: credit to him, but that that's not fun to play through. Yeah. Uh.

1336
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,120
Speaker 2: And then out West we talk about it. I mean,

1337
01:11:36,240 --> 01:11:39,559
Speaker 2: Dever's nine to two and I don't know. I mean,

1338
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 2: we're like, what's the state of the Chargers. I mean,

1339
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 2: their offensive line is just a freaking mess, dude, right

1340
01:11:47,200 --> 01:11:50,280
Speaker 2: lost They're also off, so we kind of sort of

1341
01:11:50,320 --> 01:11:54,160
Speaker 2: forgot about them. I think they played with the Raiders

1342
01:11:54,240 --> 01:11:57,320
Speaker 2: this weekend, so we'll see, we'll see. You know, obviously

1343
01:11:57,400 --> 01:12:00,560
Speaker 2: this is they should dominate the Raiders, but you know,

1344
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:03,439
Speaker 2: they the schedule gets a little bit tougher moving forward.

1345
01:12:03,479 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 2: And again, I think the problem is that we just

1346
01:12:05,040 --> 01:12:07,719
Speaker 2: don't their offensive line. We've seen the struggles that Herbert

1347
01:12:07,760 --> 01:12:09,559
Speaker 2: has with the offensive line just getting hit so much.

1348
01:12:09,600 --> 01:12:11,559
Speaker 2: Now doesn't have the offensive line? Is that a problem?

1349
01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:13,120
Speaker 7: Yeah?

1350
01:12:13,640 --> 01:12:18,599
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it's this conference is wild, absolutely wild,

1351
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:21,519
Speaker 3: and the only thing you know is that New England

1352
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,519
Speaker 3: is going to be.

1353
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:28,000
Speaker 2: In and probably and probably women's division. Colts probably should

1354
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:31,680
Speaker 2: win the division, and then after that Devers should win

1355
01:12:31,800 --> 01:12:34,320
Speaker 2: the division. But after that the wild cards are up

1356
01:12:34,360 --> 01:12:37,519
Speaker 2: and play, and you know, the nf AFC North is

1357
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:41,320
Speaker 2: up for play and then you know it's it's crazy

1358
01:12:41,400 --> 01:12:43,720
Speaker 2: year in the NFL and unlike we've seen a long

1359
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:46,280
Speaker 2: time where it does feel really really wide open and

1360
01:12:47,080 --> 01:12:49,799
Speaker 2: you know, the wicked Witch of the West. The Chiefs

1361
01:12:49,920 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 2: like if they're out of it, man, it looks it's

1362
01:12:53,320 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 2: it feels like the future out of it. This is

1363
01:12:55,600 --> 01:12:58,719
Speaker 2: Buffalo's time, right, They're waiting for this moment. The problem

1364
01:12:58,760 --> 01:13:01,800
Speaker 2: is that they can't stop the run. They can't stop

1365
01:13:01,840 --> 01:13:04,840
Speaker 2: the run, and they have no receivers. You can't win

1366
01:13:04,960 --> 01:13:06,599
Speaker 2: this league if can't stop the run of the postseason

1367
01:13:08,920 --> 01:13:10,960
Speaker 2: and you can't stop the run and you got no

1368
01:13:11,160 --> 01:13:13,800
Speaker 2: and you have just no defense. Correct, I mean no

1369
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:19,600
Speaker 2: no receivers. I mean I mean every week has to

1370
01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,360
Speaker 2: be a hero game for Josh. Correct.

1371
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:27,000
Speaker 3: All right, we need quick t o come right back here.

1372
01:13:27,120 --> 01:13:29,760
Speaker 3: It's on the docket. We come up, we look at

1373
01:13:29,800 --> 01:13:33,599
Speaker 3: the NFC playoff picture, then we go back to college

1374
01:13:33,920 --> 01:13:37,559
Speaker 3: and uh we take a long look, deep dive into

1375
01:13:37,680 --> 01:13:40,360
Speaker 3: all the games and then we give you our pick.

1376
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:42,640
Speaker 3: So lots to get to coming straight up on the

1377
01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,800
Speaker 3: Fellas Jeff Schwartz, Anthony Garganta right here on.

01:13:48,520 --> 01:13:56,960
Speaker 3: Fellas and Yet from the Fox Sports radio studios. All right, buddy,

1380
01:13:57,960 --> 01:14:01,439
Speaker 3: h NFC player playoff picture. We talked a lot about

1381
01:14:01,439 --> 01:14:06,200
Speaker 3: the East. Let's talk about the Bears, man, because you know,

1382
01:14:06,280 --> 01:14:08,880
Speaker 3: we get lost in the the negative, which is the

1383
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:10,639
Speaker 3: defending champion Eagles.

1384
01:14:10,720 --> 01:14:12,679
Speaker 4: The positive is the Bears.

1385
01:14:13,520 --> 01:14:18,000
Speaker 3: You know, no one would have thought that with the Packers, Lions,

1386
01:14:18,040 --> 01:14:21,759
Speaker 3: even Minnesota, that they would be, you know, sitting atop

1387
01:14:21,840 --> 01:14:25,400
Speaker 3: that division. Ben Johnson has done a great job. By

1388
01:14:25,439 --> 01:14:27,000
Speaker 3: the way, he took his shirt off at the news

1389
01:14:27,120 --> 01:14:29,799
Speaker 3: conference yesterday, so free hot.

1390
01:14:29,680 --> 01:14:33,200
Speaker 2: Dogs conference or at the in the locker room, in

1391
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:34,320
Speaker 2: the locker room with the speech.

1392
01:14:34,640 --> 01:14:37,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, so we got he got the free hot

1393
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:41,679
Speaker 3: dogs for the House of Wieners in Chicago.

1394
01:14:42,720 --> 01:14:45,160
Speaker 2: The shirt off they get, they get free hot dogs.

1395
01:14:45,800 --> 01:14:48,240
Speaker 2: So yeah, he made They made a deal with him.

1396
01:14:48,880 --> 01:14:51,160
Speaker 3: They said, you take your shirt off during the press

1397
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:56,280
Speaker 3: conference or during the speech, then everybody gets the free dogs.

1398
01:14:57,240 --> 01:14:59,160
Speaker 4: So they happened. It happened earlier in the year.

1399
01:15:00,240 --> 01:15:02,880
Speaker 2: What did they do. They had to beat somebody or win,

1400
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:05,679
Speaker 2: I forget what it was, but everybody got free dogs.

1401
01:15:05,720 --> 01:15:09,280
Speaker 2: And they made another smart like they made another wage

1402
01:15:09,439 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 2: or that if he did that after a win, then

1403
01:15:13,320 --> 01:15:15,559
Speaker 2: everybody would get free dogs, so they get everybody got

1404
01:15:15,560 --> 01:15:20,320
Speaker 2: free dogs. Okay, fair, Yeah, yeah, it's because the good

1405
01:15:20,400 --> 01:15:21,320
Speaker 2: dogs in Chicago.

1406
01:15:22,200 --> 01:15:26,600
Speaker 3: Uh, let's let's look at that, because I don't know,

1407
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:29,680
Speaker 3: I felt like I think everybody else diated that they

1408
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:33,760
Speaker 3: were a bit phony in what they were, right, like,

1409
01:15:33,960 --> 01:15:35,959
Speaker 3: you know, catib is still a work in progress.

1410
01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:40,040
Speaker 2: At least their record was a bit phony and you

1411
01:15:40,120 --> 01:15:43,519
Speaker 2: know good but you know, a bit fortunate. Yeah, okay,

1412
01:15:43,680 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: so absolutely true. Right, they had one they had one,

1413
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,559
Speaker 2: uh you know, five games this year where they were

1414
01:15:51,600 --> 01:15:54,600
Speaker 2: trailing in the in the under two minutes left, like

1415
01:15:54,720 --> 01:15:57,000
Speaker 2: like legitimately we can talk about you know that that

1416
01:15:57,280 --> 01:15:59,920
Speaker 2: first time that toppened since nineteen seventy, right, like those

1417
01:16:00,200 --> 01:16:03,240
Speaker 2: that's all fair, But I think it's important to note

1418
01:16:03,320 --> 01:16:10,920
Speaker 2: here when you have a new coach, new coordinators, whatever,

1419
01:16:11,600 --> 01:16:16,519
Speaker 2: it takes eight to twelve weeks to really see and

1420
01:16:16,960 --> 01:16:19,559
Speaker 2: and really know and sort of have the vision come

1421
01:16:20,040 --> 01:16:22,080
Speaker 2: to fruition, right, it always does.

1422
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:24,000
Speaker 4: Your Eagles last year it.

1423
01:16:24,080 --> 01:16:26,439
Speaker 2: Took them what eight ten weeks on defense with fanso

1424
01:16:26,520 --> 01:16:29,880
Speaker 2: to figure it out that it's always what it does,

1425
01:16:30,080 --> 01:16:32,920
Speaker 2: it always. It takes time. Everyone thinks just happens overnight,

1426
01:16:33,040 --> 01:16:38,360
Speaker 2: doesn't and we're seeing now the vision of Ben Johnson.

1427
01:16:38,840 --> 01:16:42,759
Speaker 2: It is paying off as you head into this home stretch.

1428
01:16:43,560 --> 01:16:46,840
Speaker 2: Clearly the team buys into what Ben Johnson is selling.

1429
01:16:47,680 --> 01:16:51,960
Speaker 2: Clearly he can coach. Clearly, offense is starting to really

1430
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,080
Speaker 2: hit their stride. Part of that, it's Caleb Williams get

1431
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:59,000
Speaker 2: been playing much better, which is hugely important. And the

1432
01:16:59,080 --> 01:17:04,320
Speaker 2: team believes in themselves. The physicality is starting to show,

1433
01:17:04,520 --> 01:17:07,360
Speaker 2: right they added all those trench players this offseason. It's

1434
01:17:07,400 --> 01:17:10,479
Speaker 2: really starting to show. And you gotta be really excited

1435
01:17:10,520 --> 01:17:12,559
Speaker 2: about where they last night. Look, we are we talked

1436
01:17:12,560 --> 01:17:14,599
Speaker 2: a little about Eagles. Okay, they are what they are,

1437
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:18,200
Speaker 2: But how validating was last night's win for the Bears?

1438
01:17:18,320 --> 01:17:20,840
Speaker 2: Just like you beat the Super Bowl champions in their

1439
01:17:20,920 --> 01:17:25,439
Speaker 2: place on Black Friday by winning in the trenches, you know, like,

1440
01:17:25,920 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 2: and then I think you I think also with the

1441
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:33,120
Speaker 2: Lions not playing as well offensively, that just showed it.

1442
01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:35,240
Speaker 2: They also I think as a tip of the cap

1443
01:17:35,320 --> 01:17:41,320
Speaker 2: to Ben Johnson, right because definitely, and so I really

1444
01:17:41,560 --> 01:17:44,960
Speaker 2: like what the Bears are doing right now. Again, last

1445
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,960
Speaker 2: night was a huge validating win for them. And if

1446
01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:49,760
Speaker 2: you're a Bears fan, man, you have to feel so

1447
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:52,439
Speaker 2: excited where this team is at right now.

1448
01:17:54,720 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know he's got Camble playing at at a

1449
01:17:58,240 --> 01:18:01,840
Speaker 3: really good level, right not he's not turned the ball

1450
01:18:01,960 --> 01:18:05,800
Speaker 3: over and you know, againting the run game worked and

1451
01:18:06,479 --> 01:18:08,800
Speaker 3: to your point, man, I guess I was shocked most

1452
01:18:08,880 --> 01:18:13,160
Speaker 3: that there was after starting all three starting linebackers and

1453
01:18:14,240 --> 01:18:16,200
Speaker 3: they did well against the Eagles.

1454
01:18:16,280 --> 01:18:18,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, it was survived.

1455
01:18:18,840 --> 01:18:20,560
Speaker 2: The Eagles have to have to figure this out in

1456
01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,840
Speaker 2: the meeting room today or whenever they meet again Monday, Like,

1457
01:18:23,000 --> 01:18:24,640
Speaker 2: how do we get how can we not run the

1458
01:18:24,680 --> 01:18:29,000
Speaker 2: ball against the backup Bears linebackers? And you know, it's

1459
01:18:29,040 --> 01:18:30,520
Speaker 2: funny dad success.

1460
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:37,720
Speaker 3: Like they had success early, say Qui, they completely got

1461
01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 3: away from it the game script. You know what the

1462
01:18:41,000 --> 01:18:44,519
Speaker 3: problem was they had They had a little possession because

1463
01:18:44,600 --> 01:18:48,479
Speaker 3: the defense was on the field. You know, yeah, I

1464
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,840
Speaker 3: mean I mean that that kind of hurt their I

1465
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:55,200
Speaker 3: think their play call so time of possession, I mean

1466
01:18:55,240 --> 01:18:59,120
Speaker 3: the Bears. Man, the Bears held the ball for thirty

1467
01:18:59,280 --> 01:19:01,400
Speaker 3: nine minutes in eighteen seconds.

1468
01:19:02,160 --> 01:19:03,800
Speaker 2: So happened to you win the line of scrimmage buddy?

1469
01:19:03,880 --> 01:19:05,560
Speaker 2: And they want they won the last scrimmage in a

1470
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,439
Speaker 2: big way the Bears. That was a that's a again,

1471
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:14,360
Speaker 2: that's a performance for Ben Johnson. That sort of feels

1472
01:19:14,479 --> 01:19:18,439
Speaker 2: like everything we've worked on came in fushing last night.

1473
01:19:18,479 --> 01:19:21,560
Speaker 2: And the buy in in Chicago down is gonna be

1474
01:19:21,600 --> 01:19:26,160
Speaker 2: through the freaking roof. Man, after that game yesterday. Yeah, yeah,

1475
01:19:26,240 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 2: big time. It should be by the way, it should

1476
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:29,000
Speaker 2: be absolutely.

1477
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, it should be. It should be pumped up, man.

1478
01:19:31,240 --> 01:19:34,040
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, it's good. You got you got it.

1479
01:19:34,160 --> 01:19:37,920
Speaker 2: You got a quarterback, quarterback showing promise, right, you know,

1480
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,680
Speaker 2: the coach is a winner, and you know it's that's

1481
01:19:41,720 --> 01:19:45,080
Speaker 2: a big deal. It really is. And I didn't expect

1482
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 2: I thought they'd be better, but I didn't expect them

1483
01:19:47,040 --> 01:19:50,000
Speaker 2: to be It would be Bears ackers Lions.

1484
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:52,240
Speaker 4: That's crazy. I don't think we spent that either.

01:20:53,800 --> 01:20:58,680
Speaker 3: It's rivalry weekend, and we saw some good stuff yesterday.

1502
01:20:58,840 --> 01:21:01,640
Speaker 3: Obviously we talked a lot about Texas and Texas A

1503
01:21:01,760 --> 01:21:06,000
Speaker 3: and M, and uh had I would taking Nebraska to

1504
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:13,240
Speaker 3: the wood shed yesterday rough one. Yeah, Yeah, Arizona takes

1505
01:21:13,320 --> 01:21:20,120
Speaker 3: out Arizona State last night. Georgia eeks by Georgia Tech. Yeah,

1506
01:21:20,560 --> 01:21:22,600
Speaker 3: Indiana a big route yesterday.

1507
01:21:23,080 --> 01:21:25,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I had I laid it with Indiana there, so

1508
01:21:25,479 --> 01:21:29,160
Speaker 2: I was pretty pleased with that result. Yeah, I thought

1509
01:21:29,200 --> 01:21:31,719
Speaker 2: Georgia would would score more. But look, it's a rivalry,

1510
01:21:31,800 --> 01:21:33,600
Speaker 2: and uh, you know, they maybe they thought the A

1511
01:21:33,640 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 2: and M was gonna lose. They're ready for that for

1512
01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,040
Speaker 2: you know, to play. That's the championship game. But uh,

1513
01:21:37,560 --> 01:21:40,080
Speaker 2: you know that was a good one in Iowa. I mean, yeah,

1514
01:21:40,120 --> 01:21:42,280
Speaker 2: that that was that was a rough one for for

1515
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:45,760
Speaker 2: the courn Huskers. There obviously hard to do. You know,

1516
01:21:45,840 --> 01:21:48,160
Speaker 2: when your when your quarterbacks out, certainly that is that

1517
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:52,559
Speaker 2: is life sometimes. Yeah, but uh, you look, the rivalry

1518
01:21:52,600 --> 01:21:56,840
Speaker 2: weekend is intense because throw the record book out when

1519
01:21:56,840 --> 01:21:58,800
Speaker 2: the rivalry right, like, throw the record book out. I

1520
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:00,840
Speaker 2: mean it certainly feels that way a lot of times

1521
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:02,519
Speaker 2: when you know a lot of these a lot of

1522
01:22:02,560 --> 01:22:05,120
Speaker 2: these games, like it comes down to a couple of plays,

1523
01:22:05,200 --> 01:22:07,479
Speaker 2: but you know, you play a rival closer, right for

1524
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:10,040
Speaker 2: whatever reason, there's that intensity and there's that focus that

1525
01:22:10,479 --> 01:22:12,680
Speaker 2: you might not have playing a random team on a

1526
01:22:12,760 --> 01:22:17,240
Speaker 2: Tuesday or Friday or a Sunday Saturday in the middle

1527
01:22:17,240 --> 01:22:19,760
Speaker 2: of the week and the middle of the season. And so, dude,

1528
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:22,800
Speaker 2: this is an awesome weekend. Obviously the final regular season

1529
01:22:22,880 --> 01:22:26,320
Speaker 2: weekend of college football. But we saw yesterday and upset

1530
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,280
Speaker 2: with Texas over at Texas a m this is what

1531
01:22:29,400 --> 01:22:30,200
Speaker 2: this weekend can be.

1532
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:36,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, baby, all right, let's go game by game, beginning

1533
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:40,200
Speaker 3: with the greatest rivalry out there, Ohio State and Michigan

1534
01:22:41,479 --> 01:22:44,760
Speaker 3: hiow stage a nine and an point favorite. We know

1535
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,639
Speaker 3: the only way to win is what happened last year,

1536
01:22:47,720 --> 01:22:50,800
Speaker 3: right where Michigan is able to control the line of

1537
01:22:50,880 --> 01:22:54,360
Speaker 3: scrimmage and play really good defense.

1538
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:57,599
Speaker 4: Can that happen again?

1539
01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:03,240
Speaker 2: Can it happened again? I mean sure, will it happen again?

1540
01:23:03,320 --> 01:23:03,360
Speaker 5: No?

1541
01:23:05,760 --> 01:23:08,640
Speaker 2: Ohio State I think does have some questions for me

1542
01:23:09,080 --> 01:23:11,439
Speaker 2: along their offensive line in this and you know, just

1543
01:23:11,680 --> 01:23:14,880
Speaker 2: generally speaking, I don't know if it's a concern in

1544
01:23:14,920 --> 01:23:18,559
Speaker 2: this game for me, but Michigan just is not going

1545
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:20,360
Speaker 2: to score very much of this game. It didn't matter

1546
01:23:20,479 --> 01:23:22,439
Speaker 2: last year. They didn't score a lot in one last year.

1547
01:23:23,120 --> 01:23:25,720
Speaker 2: But that's my biggest concern is just Bryce Underwood, who

1548
01:23:25,720 --> 01:23:27,439
Speaker 2: I think is going to be really really good. It's

1549
01:23:27,520 --> 01:23:29,559
Speaker 2: just young and he sort of has one pitch right,

1550
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 2: it's fastball, fastball, fastball, fastball. And and their offensive line

1551
01:23:33,600 --> 01:23:35,960
Speaker 2: is fine but not great and has its defense is

1552
01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:39,160
Speaker 2: really really good. I believe Tates is going to be

1553
01:23:39,240 --> 01:23:42,920
Speaker 2: backed and Jeremiah Smith, which is huge. I think I

1554
01:23:43,000 --> 01:23:46,960
Speaker 2: thought last weekend and they beat Rutgers handily, but the

1555
01:23:47,040 --> 01:23:49,560
Speaker 2: offensive line was tasked up doing more, wasn't it just

1556
01:23:49,640 --> 01:23:51,040
Speaker 2: not as good when the offensive line I think has

1557
01:23:51,080 --> 01:23:52,680
Speaker 2: to be the offensive of this team. They want to

1558
01:23:52,720 --> 01:23:56,080
Speaker 2: pass the football, but Ohio State this year has been

1559
01:23:56,360 --> 01:24:02,880
Speaker 2: a little bit more prone to just conservative play clock,

1560
01:24:03,479 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 2: like use the entire you know, the entire arsenal run

1561
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,479
Speaker 2: pass and whatnot. And so look, I think it's gonna

1562
01:24:10,479 --> 01:24:12,240
Speaker 2: be a slower game, a prodding game, but I think

1563
01:24:12,280 --> 01:24:14,720
Speaker 2: in the end, Ohio State comes up victorious and they

1564
01:24:14,840 --> 01:24:18,360
Speaker 2: probably cover, even though like Michigan's a team total under Yeah, yeah,

1565
01:24:18,800 --> 01:24:23,439
Speaker 2: you like you like Michigan to cover no alcoholt okay,

1566
01:24:23,640 --> 01:24:25,439
Speaker 2: right right, I would take ohiose to cover. It's not

1567
01:24:25,520 --> 01:24:28,680
Speaker 2: my favorite of the game. But you think I like

1568
01:24:29,560 --> 01:24:32,280
Speaker 2: this game under. I can see this game being you know,

1569
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:36,559
Speaker 2: twenty three ten, right, It's it's a cover for Ohio State.

1570
01:24:36,680 --> 01:24:38,920
Speaker 2: It might be a late touchdown. That's why I'm not

1571
01:24:38,960 --> 01:24:40,960
Speaker 2: putting my money in Ohio State in this game, I think.

1572
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:44,120
Speaker 2: But I do think they are going to win, Yes, yeah,

1573
01:24:44,160 --> 01:24:47,200
Speaker 2: I do too. I I just think there's this is

1574
01:24:47,400 --> 01:24:52,760
Speaker 2: just too too heavy of a lift from Michigan. And look,

1575
01:24:52,920 --> 01:24:54,880
Speaker 2: you know, I mean they caught him last year. I

1576
01:24:54,960 --> 01:24:57,120
Speaker 2: mean that was the ultimate body blow last year.

1577
01:24:57,280 --> 01:25:01,479
Speaker 3: Remember and think about who was calling the plays last

1578
01:25:01,560 --> 01:25:06,320
Speaker 3: year for Ohio State and we and remember how we

1579
01:25:06,479 --> 01:25:07,280
Speaker 3: all said.

1580
01:25:07,479 --> 01:25:08,400
Speaker 2: What are they nuts?

1581
01:25:09,120 --> 01:25:11,160
Speaker 4: Why are you trying? Why aren't you throwing the football?

1582
01:25:11,240 --> 01:25:11,640
Speaker 4: Remember that?

1583
01:25:12,240 --> 01:25:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, it felt like they tried to out Michigan and

1584
01:25:16,080 --> 01:25:19,240
Speaker 2: Michigan last year, right, they tried. They tried their best

1585
01:25:19,360 --> 01:25:21,600
Speaker 2: to like to it said, just running their game. They

1586
01:25:21,680 --> 01:25:23,559
Speaker 2: tried to run a game, A play a game where

1587
01:25:24,080 --> 01:25:26,040
Speaker 2: it was all we're gonna out physical, but just win

1588
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,240
Speaker 2: the game. Just win the game. And I do think look,

1589
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:31,599
Speaker 2: winning the championship last year probably lifted a heavy weight

1590
01:25:31,720 --> 01:25:34,040
Speaker 2: off the shoulders of everyone at Michigan in Ohios to

1591
01:25:34,080 --> 01:25:36,479
Speaker 2: even though you know they want to win this game

1592
01:25:36,600 --> 01:25:38,519
Speaker 2: and not to but they want a champion. But you

1593
01:25:38,560 --> 01:25:41,200
Speaker 2: should go in this game feeling very confident in your

1594
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,640
Speaker 2: ability to uh to win different ways so they've done

1595
01:25:44,680 --> 01:25:46,439
Speaker 2: this season. You should feel very confident your ability to

1596
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,920
Speaker 2: just handle a Michigan offense that I think is limited

1597
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:51,679
Speaker 2: with your defense and then throw the ball to Tape,

1598
01:25:51,720 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 2: throw the ball to to Smith like usually those excellent

1599
01:25:54,240 --> 01:25:58,280
Speaker 2: guys you have because they're they're difference makers, and and

1600
01:25:59,040 --> 01:26:03,680
Speaker 2: you should you should prepare and play that way. By

1601
01:26:03,720 --> 01:26:06,320
Speaker 2: the way, just as a quick a side, Yeah, the

1602
01:26:06,520 --> 01:26:11,920
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly situation. Wow, Yeah, I don't, so he had

1603
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:14,920
Speaker 2: to go. Obviously, I don't know if I buy all

1604
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,080
Speaker 2: the stories about him just calling plays that weren't in

1605
01:26:17,120 --> 01:26:18,479
Speaker 2: the in the play sheet for the week.

1606
01:26:18,640 --> 01:26:23,040
Speaker 8: That feel means make up what you don't make that up,

1607
01:26:24,200 --> 01:26:28,120
Speaker 8: I know, But I've been around a lot of of

1608
01:26:28,200 --> 01:26:28,879
Speaker 8: its coordinators.

1609
01:26:28,920 --> 01:26:31,680
Speaker 2: Buddy, that guy would be very very odd if he

1610
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:34,479
Speaker 2: did that. Now. I understand if he missed emotion or

1611
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:37,240
Speaker 2: something like that, that that track that's seen that happen before,

1612
01:26:38,040 --> 01:26:42,439
Speaker 2: But to just like to have you know, three jet

1613
01:26:42,520 --> 01:26:47,040
Speaker 2: all go special, I know on your on your call

1614
01:26:47,120 --> 01:26:50,479
Speaker 2: sheet from day one install and then just not having

1615
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:53,599
Speaker 2: the game but then calling a game is not common.

1616
01:26:53,640 --> 01:26:56,200
Speaker 2: So if he was doing that, I know, it's.

1617
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,320
Speaker 3: I wonder if there's Scott Forbid something wrong with him.

1618
01:26:58,360 --> 01:27:01,559
Speaker 3: I'm like hoping that that's not the case, because that's

1619
01:27:01,600 --> 01:27:04,680
Speaker 3: what it sounds like. Here's a question, though, is that

1620
01:27:05,160 --> 01:27:09,800
Speaker 3: what if he said during a time during a break

1621
01:27:09,920 --> 01:27:12,360
Speaker 3: like your your defense on the said hey, GENO, remember

1622
01:27:12,600 --> 01:27:14,800
Speaker 3: you know three jed all goes special from training camp,

1623
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:17,040
Speaker 3: I want to run that play, which would still not

1624
01:27:17,280 --> 01:27:18,760
Speaker 3: be the right thing to do on game day, but

1625
01:27:18,800 --> 01:27:22,080
Speaker 3: that's certainly possible that he said that to him. Nonetheless,

1626
01:27:22,680 --> 01:27:26,479
Speaker 3: obviously it doesn't have a job anymore. He's you know,

1627
01:27:26,920 --> 01:27:29,400
Speaker 3: remember last year against against Michigan, they just sort of

1628
01:27:29,479 --> 01:27:30,000
Speaker 3: forced the run.

1629
01:27:30,040 --> 01:27:31,840
Speaker 2: It didn't work. I didn't tell you they're going to

1630
01:27:31,920 --> 01:27:33,400
Speaker 2: run their offense. I think they're going to handle their

1631
01:27:33,439 --> 01:27:36,720
Speaker 2: business today. Yeah, I do. I I believe that.

1632
01:27:36,800 --> 01:27:40,040
Speaker 3: You know who he's done a great job and deserves

1633
01:27:40,080 --> 01:27:42,600
Speaker 3: some credit is Matt Patricia.

1634
01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:45,000
Speaker 4: That defense has played really well.

1635
01:27:45,160 --> 01:27:48,720
Speaker 2: Man, I didn't expect it. You know, one thing that

1636
01:27:48,840 --> 01:27:51,200
Speaker 2: he does I think really really well is he uses

1637
01:27:51,240 --> 01:27:54,880
Speaker 2: the personnality has in the in their best capacity. They

1638
01:27:54,960 --> 01:27:58,560
Speaker 2: have outstanding personnel, and he makes sure that they're in

1639
01:27:58,600 --> 01:28:01,800
Speaker 2: the right position. They they that they're doing what they're

1640
01:28:01,880 --> 01:28:05,720
Speaker 2: best at. The Michigan is not gonna throw the ball

1641
01:28:05,720 --> 01:28:07,600
Speaker 2: in this game. They're just they're just not built to

1642
01:28:07,720 --> 01:28:12,680
Speaker 2: play Ohio State like this. And so I do think

1643
01:28:12,720 --> 01:28:16,000
Speaker 2: that they handle business today. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm

1644
01:28:16,040 --> 01:28:17,559
Speaker 2: with you, all right.

1645
01:28:18,040 --> 01:28:22,960
Speaker 3: So that is a big rivalry game. Then you got

1646
01:28:24,160 --> 01:28:26,400
Speaker 3: Texas Tech West Virginia.

1647
01:28:27,080 --> 01:28:29,479
Speaker 2: They're gonna they're gonna smoke West Virginia. I don't worried

1648
01:28:29,479 --> 01:28:34,439
Speaker 2: about that game. Yeah, I would agree Miami Pitt where

1649
01:28:34,479 --> 01:28:37,200
Speaker 2: you What are you liking this one? I like Miami.

1650
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:41,400
Speaker 2: They've been they've been playing much better football lately. I

1651
01:28:41,479 --> 01:28:43,320
Speaker 2: think we ignore that because of a couple of bad

1652
01:28:43,400 --> 01:28:45,320
Speaker 2: losses they had. But they you know, they they're they're

1653
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:48,000
Speaker 2: they're playing good ball right now. And I pitch just

1654
01:28:48,360 --> 01:28:50,960
Speaker 2: I know the one last week they beat GT But Pitts,

1655
01:28:51,040 --> 01:28:54,360
Speaker 2: I worry about their defense. Miami's when Miami's on, man,

1656
01:28:54,400 --> 01:28:56,280
Speaker 2: they're really good. They're gonna be on this game. They're

1657
01:28:56,280 --> 01:28:58,320
Speaker 2: gonna try to prove a point to be a playoff team.

1658
01:28:59,040 --> 01:28:59,960
Speaker 2: I like Miami in this game.

1659
01:29:00,080 --> 01:29:07,200
Speaker 3: Him to cover all right, Uh, Louisville in Kentucky, our

1660
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:10,600
Speaker 3: buddy south Side Chuck will be there rooting all his

1661
01:29:10,840 --> 01:29:14,480
Speaker 3: cats in thirty degree weather come noontime.

1662
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:17,479
Speaker 2: I think the question for this game for me is

1663
01:29:17,720 --> 01:29:20,360
Speaker 2: like where's Louisville, where's Jeff Braun? At is Jeff Brown

1664
01:29:20,400 --> 01:29:23,120
Speaker 2: taking another job? Like? What's that that that's a storyline

1665
01:29:23,160 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 2: for today? Is like there's a lot of teams playing

1666
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:29,400
Speaker 2: that their coach might be leaving. And I've seen that

1667
01:29:29,520 --> 01:29:32,080
Speaker 2: with Oregon with when Mario was was the coach and

1668
01:29:32,160 --> 01:29:34,880
Speaker 2: the focus just wasn't quite there. I've seen that you

1669
01:29:34,920 --> 01:29:37,120
Speaker 2: know as an opponent of when Oregon stay with Jonathan

1670
01:29:37,160 --> 01:29:39,679
Speaker 2: Smith was leaving to Michigan State and like what happened

1671
01:29:39,680 --> 01:29:41,639
Speaker 2: to their team in the Civil War a few years back.

1672
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:44,880
Speaker 2: So we know where's Louisville gonna be. If you know,

1673
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:47,000
Speaker 2: Jeff Brown's been talking to other teams for a couple

1674
01:29:47,040 --> 01:29:52,840
Speaker 2: of weeks now. Yeah, uh Clemson South Carolina. Man, what

1675
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:56,559
Speaker 2: a what a bad year it's been for Davo. Yeah. Uh,

1676
01:29:56,680 --> 01:29:59,439
Speaker 2: South Carolina just thinks I would take clubs in here,

1677
01:29:59,479 --> 01:30:04,559
Speaker 2: but it's gonna be like fourteen to ten. I know, man,

1678
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:08,479
Speaker 2: that was at a rough one. Yeah. Uh where else

1679
01:30:08,560 --> 01:30:09,400
Speaker 2: we got that? We got?

1680
01:30:09,600 --> 01:30:13,080
Speaker 3: We got my game used to Baylor. Wow, we're gonna

1681
01:30:13,120 --> 01:30:14,560
Speaker 3: get to your game with that actause I got you

1682
01:30:14,680 --> 01:30:15,639
Speaker 3: comment on that baby.

1683
01:30:16,360 --> 01:30:19,720
Speaker 2: Uh Houston Baylor is interesting? Where you line up on

1684
01:30:19,760 --> 01:30:26,439
Speaker 2: that one too and a half? Probably Houston in that game.

1685
01:30:26,720 --> 01:30:29,360
Speaker 2: I know Bailor's keeping Dave Randa. I think some of

1686
01:30:29,400 --> 01:30:31,920
Speaker 2: these schools are very smart to keep their coaches. It

1687
01:30:32,040 --> 01:30:34,519
Speaker 2: might not work out if Mike Norvell stays, which he

1688
01:30:34,600 --> 01:30:36,080
Speaker 2: is at Florida State. It might not work out with

1689
01:30:36,160 --> 01:30:37,559
Speaker 2: with Dave Randa, But like, what do you get who

1690
01:30:37,560 --> 01:30:38,920
Speaker 2: are you gonna hire right now, there's.

1691
01:30:38,720 --> 01:30:39,400
Speaker 1: No one to hire.

1692
01:30:39,560 --> 01:30:43,000
Speaker 2: Everyone's staying like I'd like just keeping it at his

1693
01:30:43,680 --> 01:30:46,599
Speaker 2: Maybe we invest more, nil, we invest more to different coaches,

1694
01:30:46,720 --> 01:30:49,519
Speaker 2: like I'm I'm for keeping those guys, man, I mean

1695
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 2: that's the right decision. All right, let's go to three

1696
01:30:52,160 --> 01:30:56,840
Speaker 2: thirty Eastern twelve thirty Pacific. Yeah, slew a great game.

1697
01:30:57,160 --> 01:31:01,640
Speaker 2: We'll start with your squad or again six and a

1698
01:31:01,720 --> 01:31:03,720
Speaker 2: half against Washington.

1699
01:31:04,640 --> 01:31:06,320
Speaker 4: We're you at buddy, you like it?

1700
01:31:06,800 --> 01:31:09,320
Speaker 2: So this game is really interesting to me. I think

1701
01:31:09,320 --> 01:31:11,040
Speaker 2: we're going to get some of our offensive lignment back,

1702
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:13,519
Speaker 2: which we're not going to have our wide receivers back

1703
01:31:14,000 --> 01:31:19,800
Speaker 2: for this game. Okay, this is such a I'm mystified

1704
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:23,200
Speaker 2: by Washington's defense. I want to talk this through with you. Okay, Yeah,

1705
01:31:23,320 --> 01:31:26,080
Speaker 2: so their defense is forty fifth in the country in

1706
01:31:26,120 --> 01:31:29,880
Speaker 2: points per drive. Good, right, they haven't allowed more than

1707
01:31:29,920 --> 01:31:32,120
Speaker 2: twenty five points all season. Now, to be fair, they

1708
01:31:32,200 --> 01:31:34,920
Speaker 2: really have not played great offenses. They played Ohio State

1709
01:31:34,960 --> 01:31:38,519
Speaker 2: at home and Julian Sayan's first road start right right,

1710
01:31:39,240 --> 01:31:42,719
Speaker 2: and then they play Illinois, whose offensive line is really stinky.

1711
01:31:42,800 --> 01:31:45,360
Speaker 2: They played Rutgers and Michigan, who can't throw the ball

1712
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:48,719
Speaker 2: like those are their four best offense they played all season. Okay,

1713
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:52,519
Speaker 2: some like over twenty. They still have not allowed over

1714
01:31:53,600 --> 01:31:58,240
Speaker 2: over twenty four points all season, twenty five points, twenty

1715
01:31:58,240 --> 01:32:01,840
Speaker 2: five points. Okay, so they're forty fifth in points per drive.

1716
01:32:03,080 --> 01:32:07,320
Speaker 2: But they've only forced thirty seven punts all season. Wow,

1717
01:32:07,800 --> 01:32:11,160
Speaker 2: they've only forced six punces total against those four best

1718
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:16,720
Speaker 2: offenses that I told you six punts total. They're seventieth

1719
01:32:16,920 --> 01:32:20,400
Speaker 2: on third down, so like not exceptional on third down,

1720
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:23,840
Speaker 2: like compared to anyone else, Like if you have that many,

1721
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:28,639
Speaker 2: if you have only forced thirty, they'rekno going on third down.

1722
01:32:29,439 --> 01:32:31,439
Speaker 2: They're really bad on third and long, like one hundred

1723
01:32:31,439 --> 01:32:34,080
Speaker 2: and twentieth in country, and third and long their pressure

1724
01:32:34,160 --> 01:32:35,960
Speaker 2: rate is near the hundred. It's like they don't pressure

1725
01:32:36,000 --> 01:32:39,200
Speaker 2: the quarterback. They don't have any havocrate like havoc rate

1726
01:32:39,280 --> 01:32:41,479
Speaker 2: like tackle for loss pass deflections, they're like one hundred

1727
01:32:41,479 --> 01:32:44,320
Speaker 2: and twentieth the country and havoc rate. I don't understand

1728
01:32:44,320 --> 01:32:47,800
Speaker 2: their defense. It makes no sense to me that their

1729
01:32:47,840 --> 01:32:51,120
Speaker 2: defense is forty fifth in Yeah, and people say, well,

1730
01:32:51,240 --> 01:32:53,799
Speaker 2: it's missed field goals, it's it's field goal temps. It's turnovers.

1731
01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,400
Speaker 2: They've only forced fourteen turnovers in eleven games, so they're

1732
01:32:56,400 --> 01:32:58,800
Speaker 2: not forcing ton of turnovers. I have no idea what

1733
01:32:58,920 --> 01:33:00,519
Speaker 2: to make of this defense. They don't have any Like

1734
01:33:01,080 --> 01:33:03,320
Speaker 2: they have good corners, but everyone throws in their safeties

1735
01:33:03,360 --> 01:33:05,760
Speaker 2: because their safeties are not very good. So I don't

1736
01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:07,280
Speaker 2: I don't know what to make of the defense. If

1737
01:33:07,320 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 2: Oregon just plays their game, Oregon's gonna win and they're

1738
01:33:10,840 --> 01:33:14,840
Speaker 2: gonna be fine. Washington offense is very dangerous. But the

1739
01:33:14,960 --> 01:33:18,599
Speaker 2: problem is they played three defenses this year they're any

1740
01:33:18,680 --> 01:33:23,880
Speaker 2: good Ohio State, Michigan and JUMI in Wisconsin. Those are

1741
01:33:23,880 --> 01:33:26,840
Speaker 2: the three defenses they play that are good. They scored six, seven,

1742
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:29,640
Speaker 2: and ten in those three games, and Ogas defense is

1743
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,320
Speaker 2: really good. So I tend to think Oregan will handle business.

1744
01:33:33,360 --> 01:33:37,519
Speaker 2: But look, rivalry game. It's a rivaly game. Either were

1745
01:33:37,560 --> 01:33:42,519
Speaker 2: gonna be fine, but you never know the Washington defense.

1746
01:33:43,520 --> 01:33:47,560
Speaker 2: Think about that. They allowed six total punts against the

1747
01:33:47,600 --> 01:33:49,800
Speaker 2: four best offenses they played all season and didn't allow

1748
01:33:49,840 --> 01:33:51,720
Speaker 2: more than twenty five points. Now, they lost one of

1749
01:33:51,720 --> 01:33:55,080
Speaker 2: those games, twenty four to six and twenty seven to seven.

1750
01:33:55,200 --> 01:33:57,439
Speaker 2: Like they weren't competitive in those games, but They're still

1751
01:33:57,439 --> 01:33:59,519
Speaker 2: pretty wild, right, Like that's something you would need it is,

1752
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:01,840
Speaker 2: it would not make sense, it would not make sense,

1753
01:34:02,320 --> 01:34:05,360
Speaker 2: like like like, for example, Oregon, it's like tenth in

1754
01:34:05,400 --> 01:34:07,800
Speaker 2: the country in points per drive. On defense, they forced

1755
01:34:07,840 --> 01:34:11,920
Speaker 2: sixty punts. Ohio States forced fifty nine punts. Like that's

1756
01:34:11,960 --> 01:34:15,200
Speaker 2: what good defense is that Typically those numbers show like

1757
01:34:15,240 --> 01:34:17,559
Speaker 2: they forced a ton of punts. Not the case here.

1758
01:34:17,880 --> 01:34:21,280
Speaker 2: Kind of crazy. I like Oregon in a game, not

1759
01:34:21,400 --> 01:34:25,639
Speaker 2: because of you. I hope you win, but if you're

1760
01:34:25,680 --> 01:34:28,880
Speaker 2: going to just suss it out, I do too. I

1761
01:34:29,320 --> 01:34:33,759
Speaker 2: think Washington is a paper tiger. I'm just not impressed

1762
01:34:33,760 --> 01:34:35,680
Speaker 2: with them over. Nothing would give me more joy than

1763
01:34:35,720 --> 01:34:41,519
Speaker 2: beating Washington. For those who are unaware, Oregon Washington is

1764
01:34:41,880 --> 01:34:47,440
Speaker 2: just as bitter a rivalry as the as Michigan, Ohio State, Auburn, Alabama.

1765
01:34:48,520 --> 01:34:52,960
Speaker 2: The thing with this rivalry is that forever Washington won

1766
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:55,080
Speaker 2: every game till nineteen ninety four, We've won I think

1767
01:34:55,160 --> 01:34:59,080
Speaker 2: twenty of the last twenty seven games against Washington. But

1768
01:34:59,360 --> 01:35:03,360
Speaker 2: for a wall time, this rivalry was very much one

1769
01:35:03,439 --> 01:35:05,559
Speaker 2: team good, one team bats. Like when I was in college,

1770
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:07,840
Speaker 2: we were good, they were really bad. We won twelve

1771
01:35:07,880 --> 01:35:10,040
Speaker 2: in a row during that time period, and then Washington

1772
01:35:10,080 --> 01:35:13,439
Speaker 2: with with with Chris Peterson became really good and we

1773
01:35:13,520 --> 01:35:15,800
Speaker 2: were bad. We're four and eight and twenty sixteen. The

1774
01:35:15,920 --> 01:35:18,120
Speaker 2: last couple of years is the first time this rivalry

1775
01:35:18,160 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 2: has ever seen both teams ranked in the top fifteen. So, like,

1776
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,600
Speaker 2: that's why I think it's not given the attention that

1777
01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:27,280
Speaker 2: other rivalries have been because both teams just haven't been

1778
01:35:27,320 --> 01:35:29,639
Speaker 2: good the same time. And you know, we had those

1779
01:35:29,720 --> 01:35:32,439
Speaker 2: games with with with the Boor and Dan Lanning, there

1780
01:35:32,479 --> 01:35:35,280
Speaker 2: were three point games, right like they like, Dan Lanning

1781
01:35:35,320 --> 01:35:38,040
Speaker 2: lost three straight times by three points. It mattered a lot,

1782
01:35:38,120 --> 01:35:40,400
Speaker 2: and this matters a lot to him. So there's a

1783
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:43,200
Speaker 2: little extra effort and attention given this game, of course,

1784
01:35:43,840 --> 01:35:45,720
Speaker 2: and then you get to rest, you win, and you

1785
01:35:45,760 --> 01:35:49,679
Speaker 2: get to rest and you're ready for the for the postseason. Yeah,

1786
01:35:49,840 --> 01:35:53,080
Speaker 2: and you know, it was funny when you when you

1787
01:35:53,200 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 2: look at them, the bitterness. I had no idea orgon Washington, Yeah,

1788
01:36:01,320 --> 01:36:02,280
Speaker 2: I had no idea.

1789
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:04,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, Yeah, we got to be honest with you.

1790
01:36:04,960 --> 01:36:05,200
Speaker 2: I was.

1791
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:10,000
Speaker 3: I was like, wow, I learned from Lincoln. So my

1792
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 3: buddy Lincoln Kennedy, it was the original fella.

1793
01:36:13,160 --> 01:36:16,920
Speaker 2: Obviously, before you like they were good, like when he

1794
01:36:17,120 --> 01:36:19,880
Speaker 2: was there and Washington too much good and Oregon wasn't

1795
01:36:20,439 --> 01:36:22,360
Speaker 2: and and it was it's interesting.

1796
01:36:22,880 --> 01:36:26,040
Speaker 4: And he used to say, oh, dcs like just like you.

1797
01:36:26,479 --> 01:36:30,200
Speaker 3: With the Huskies. It's crazy, it's it's interesting. You know

1798
01:36:31,080 --> 01:36:32,720
Speaker 3: just what you guys are. It's pretty cool.

1799
01:36:32,960 --> 01:36:36,559
Speaker 2: It's very bitter. It's started tucked away the pace of Northwest.

1800
01:36:37,360 --> 01:36:39,680
Speaker 2: We have obviously the rivalry with with Oregon State, and

1801
01:36:39,760 --> 01:36:43,040
Speaker 2: they had theirs with Washington State. But man, there is

1802
01:36:43,240 --> 01:36:46,320
Speaker 2: there is a deep hatred between these schools. So a

1803
01:36:46,400 --> 01:36:48,640
Speaker 2: lot of fun, tough places to play Washington. Washington one

1804
01:36:48,640 --> 01:36:50,040
Speaker 2: of tho teams that plays better at home than on

1805
01:36:50,080 --> 01:36:53,519
Speaker 2: the road. But again he gets better defense. They struggled

1806
01:36:53,560 --> 01:36:57,040
Speaker 2: this season and look as you know Oregon last week, Uh,

1807
01:36:58,280 --> 01:37:02,160
Speaker 2: I don't mean USC what there were eight pass interference calls.

1808
01:37:02,520 --> 01:37:04,880
Speaker 2: It's not gonna happen today. I don't know. Like the

1809
01:37:04,960 --> 01:37:06,880
Speaker 2: offense that USC ran. Just throw the ball up to

1810
01:37:06,920 --> 01:37:09,240
Speaker 2: those two wide receivers and pray and pray for success.

1811
01:37:10,000 --> 01:37:11,880
Speaker 2: It's not what Washington's gonna do. So I feel pretty

1812
01:37:11,880 --> 01:37:13,880
Speaker 2: good about where our defense is at right now. USC

1813
01:37:13,960 --> 01:37:17,120
Speaker 2: averages five hundred yards. They are two yards rushing a game,

1814
01:37:17,160 --> 01:37:19,320
Speaker 2: and we held them to fifty yards rushing last week

1815
01:37:19,400 --> 01:37:22,000
Speaker 2: and below that, well below their averages and scoring. So

1816
01:37:22,080 --> 01:37:24,400
Speaker 2: I'm I'm not concerned about our defense at all in

1817
01:37:24,439 --> 01:37:29,200
Speaker 2: this game. All right, let's how about Oklahoma. This is

1818
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:33,519
Speaker 2: a good one in Oklahoma, LSU. Yeah, it's just what

1819
01:37:33,600 --> 01:37:35,080
Speaker 2: the desnating a rivalry game in SEC?

1820
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:35,280
Speaker 6: Now?

1821
01:37:35,400 --> 01:37:37,000
Speaker 2: Is it like one of those designators right now? Right?

1822
01:37:37,160 --> 01:37:39,680
Speaker 2: But it's actually an interesting I think it's an interesting game.

1823
01:37:39,760 --> 01:37:43,360
Speaker 2: I think LSU, it's going to keep this game close. Well,

1824
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:46,160
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what the fun part about this game is,

1825
01:37:46,200 --> 01:37:47,760
Speaker 2: this is a playing game for Oklahoma. Right. You win

1826
01:37:47,880 --> 01:37:49,640
Speaker 2: this game, you're probably a playoff team. You lose, you're

1827
01:37:49,680 --> 01:37:52,639
Speaker 2: out LS use very talented elis. You can play spoiler

1828
01:37:52,720 --> 01:37:55,840
Speaker 2: in this instance. There's also, of course, the looming like

1829
01:37:56,000 --> 01:37:58,040
Speaker 2: hey you hire Lane Kiffin in the middle of the

1830
01:37:58,120 --> 01:38:00,920
Speaker 2: game type of thing that we could and that doesn't

1831
01:38:00,920 --> 01:38:03,160
Speaker 2: really matter to this game. It just adds the intrigue

1832
01:38:03,200 --> 01:38:06,320
Speaker 2: of sort of players either trying to play to impress

1833
01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:08,960
Speaker 2: a new coach or playing to put your name in

1834
01:38:09,000 --> 01:38:11,360
Speaker 2: the portal. Like there's many reasons why guys would be

1835
01:38:11,400 --> 01:38:17,880
Speaker 2: playing hard today. If you're LSU. Yeah, yeah, uh, how

1836
01:38:17,920 --> 01:38:21,240
Speaker 2: about this one's a great what vander Belton, Tennessee love it,

1837
01:38:21,360 --> 01:38:25,200
Speaker 2: love it, love it. I'll tell you what the difference

1838
01:38:25,240 --> 01:38:31,040
Speaker 2: in Vandy is that they many their offensive line this

1839
01:38:31,160 --> 01:38:33,280
Speaker 2: year has different than other years like that gives them

1840
01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:35,799
Speaker 2: a chance each and every week to be competitive. Tennessee

1841
01:38:36,240 --> 01:38:38,479
Speaker 2: can't stop a nosebleed defensively this season. They lost a

1842
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:40,160
Speaker 2: lot of people in the NFL's haven't been as good.

1843
01:38:41,040 --> 01:38:43,080
Speaker 2: Vanny's gonna try to slow this game down, gonna trying

1844
01:38:43,080 --> 01:38:45,599
Speaker 2: to muck it up. I leaned Vandy here. I could

1845
01:38:45,680 --> 01:38:49,320
Speaker 2: do without Diego Pavia's mom being in every single shot

1846
01:38:49,960 --> 01:38:51,920
Speaker 2: during the middle of the game. But other than that,

1847
01:38:52,520 --> 01:38:56,519
Speaker 2: I do lean towards Vandy here. You know it's nuts.

1848
01:38:57,520 --> 01:39:06,280
Speaker 3: Florida Florida State is He's four thirty ESPN two five

1849
01:39:06,400 --> 01:39:10,760
Speaker 3: and six versus three and eighty. Wow, what's your read

1850
01:39:10,840 --> 01:39:13,160
Speaker 3: on on who they hire you think of? If not

1851
01:39:13,280 --> 01:39:13,800
Speaker 3: Lane Kiffin?

1852
01:39:13,880 --> 01:39:13,960
Speaker 1: Is it?

1853
01:39:14,080 --> 01:39:16,240
Speaker 2: Is it Summer all the two lane coach? He's my

1854
01:39:16,320 --> 01:39:19,400
Speaker 2: thing about washing about assuming about about that hire. So

1855
01:39:19,640 --> 01:39:25,439
Speaker 2: like if you just hired Billy Napier as a as

1856
01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:27,439
Speaker 2: A as a G five coach, it did not work out.

1857
01:39:27,439 --> 01:39:29,439
Speaker 2: Are you going back to hiring another G five coach

1858
01:39:30,080 --> 01:39:31,920
Speaker 2: in some row? That's why I think Jed That's what

1859
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:34,439
Speaker 2: I think is Jed Fish's job from Washington. Have who

1860
01:39:34,720 --> 01:39:37,479
Speaker 2: went to Florida wants that job? I just don't see.

1861
01:39:37,800 --> 01:39:42,760
Speaker 2: I mean I would go Jed Fisher. I honestly, yeah, yeah,

1862
01:39:43,600 --> 01:39:45,639
Speaker 2: you could go some roll. But again, are you gonna

1863
01:39:45,640 --> 01:39:46,559
Speaker 2: are you going back the.

1864
01:39:46,920 --> 01:39:50,240
Speaker 4: Thing you're gonna go? Try again and pray I plucked

1865
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:50,960
Speaker 4: a winner.

1866
01:39:51,920 --> 01:39:55,519
Speaker 2: Jed Fish as he rebuilt Arizona. He's done well Washington,

1867
01:39:56,080 --> 01:39:59,120
Speaker 2: and you bring you bring you bring Demond Williams with you.

1868
01:40:00,120 --> 01:40:02,280
Speaker 2: So I mean it's jet Fish. But again that that

1869
01:40:02,320 --> 01:40:05,000
Speaker 2: puts a wrinkle in the organ game, Like you know, Jedfish,

1870
01:40:05,080 --> 01:40:07,479
Speaker 2: how focus is Jetfish for the organ game? If he's

1871
01:40:07,520 --> 01:40:12,320
Speaker 2: been interviewing with Ford, which he has everybody interviews with

1872
01:40:12,320 --> 01:40:14,479
Speaker 2: everyone though, like that's not that's not really anything. That's

1873
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:17,200
Speaker 2: that's but you know, but think about like it's not

1874
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:19,200
Speaker 2: a Jetfish thing. It's a general thing like like imagine

1875
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:21,680
Speaker 2: you're preparing to play a game, but you sort of

1876
01:40:21,760 --> 01:40:24,160
Speaker 2: have to prepare to build a new staff for another school,

1877
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:28,000
Speaker 2: and you have to sort of think about the portal

1878
01:40:28,240 --> 01:40:30,840
Speaker 2: for the other school, and which players are going to

1879
01:40:30,880 --> 01:40:33,360
Speaker 2: bring with you from your current school to the new school,

1880
01:40:34,040 --> 01:40:37,280
Speaker 2: and how you're going to immediately hit the ground running

1881
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:40,960
Speaker 2: and start and start recruiting tomorrow as a new Florida

1882
01:40:41,040 --> 01:40:43,720
Speaker 2: head coach. Like there's a lot of things that I

1883
01:40:43,800 --> 01:40:45,600
Speaker 2: don't think that Jet is or any coach. I'm just

1884
01:40:45,680 --> 01:40:48,360
Speaker 2: using him example, is not preparing for the current game

1885
01:40:48,400 --> 01:40:51,360
Speaker 2: they have. But you can see where the distractions start

1886
01:40:51,400 --> 01:40:55,120
Speaker 2: to come in, right, like very easily start thinking about

1887
01:40:55,439 --> 01:41:00,080
Speaker 2: about the new job. So that is always not I

1888
01:41:00,120 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 2: think't you know, but I just think I don't know.

1889
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:11,120
Speaker 4: I look at it and in summer all I like,

1890
01:41:11,680 --> 01:41:13,200
Speaker 4: I just don't. I don't try.

1891
01:41:13,680 --> 01:41:16,439
Speaker 2: Like I think Fish is a safe for bet Yes,

1892
01:41:16,880 --> 01:41:20,920
Speaker 2: lower floor, right or or higher floor or whatever you

1893
01:41:21,000 --> 01:41:22,840
Speaker 2: want to fire the floor, but maybe not Like ceiling

1894
01:41:22,920 --> 01:41:24,400
Speaker 2: is high, I don't. I don't think. I don't know.

1895
01:41:24,720 --> 01:41:27,000
Speaker 2: The ceiling to me is the same, right, Like they're

1896
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:32,360
Speaker 2: both can be really good. But I feel like Jedfish

1897
01:41:32,680 --> 01:41:37,759
Speaker 2: is a is a higher floor. Like he's also proven

1898
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:40,360
Speaker 2: to rebuild Arizona, and he's done a good job of

1899
01:41:40,439 --> 01:41:42,200
Speaker 2: washing so far. That's what I mean.

1900
01:41:42,280 --> 01:41:43,360
Speaker 4: Like I have that to go with.

1901
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:45,680
Speaker 3: So all right, we're gonna take quick t We'll come

1902

1912
01:42:19,240 --> 01:42:22,320
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna I'm gonna hate with some games, talk

1913
01:42:22,360 --> 01:42:24,479
Speaker 3: about it what we like the lands of the college.

1914
01:42:24,520 --> 01:42:29,840
Speaker 3: We got a couple of really interesting games, and uh,

1915
01:42:30,040 --> 01:42:33,120
Speaker 3: well Alabama and all Bird in the Iron Bowl.

1916
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:36,120
Speaker 2: You know, I think all birds live in this buddy.

1917
01:42:39,280 --> 01:42:44,840
Speaker 2: So the points where I will tell you that right then,

1918
01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:47,640
Speaker 2: extry part of this game is is like's on the sidelines,

1919
01:42:47,760 --> 01:42:51,080
Speaker 2: Like what is killing is Kiln the border Penn State smoke? Right?

1920
01:42:53,160 --> 01:42:54,800
Speaker 2: You know who's all Burn going to hire? I'm sure

1921
01:42:54,800 --> 01:42:59,600
Speaker 2: that they'll announced that hire fairly soon today. Yeah, I

1922
01:42:59,640 --> 01:43:03,479
Speaker 2: don't The case for Alburn seems to be that it's

1923
01:43:03,520 --> 01:43:06,599
Speaker 2: hard to play, you know at this you know Jordan here,

1924
01:43:07,520 --> 01:43:10,120
Speaker 2: and Alabama has struggled there in the past. Certainly true,

1925
01:43:12,160 --> 01:43:14,760
Speaker 2: but there's no, like really on the field reason why

1926
01:43:14,800 --> 01:43:17,280
Speaker 2: Alabama should struggle in this game. They're much better than Alburn.

1927
01:43:17,320 --> 01:43:22,000
Speaker 2: They have antac coaching staff, they're better quarterback. You know,

1928
01:43:22,040 --> 01:43:24,559
Speaker 2: the last major game we saw of Alabama they lost

1929
01:43:24,560 --> 01:43:26,880
Speaker 2: to Oklahoma. So maybe there's that lingering in the back

1930
01:43:26,920 --> 01:43:30,240
Speaker 2: of our minds. But Obama's playing for a playoff berth today, right,

1931
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:36,160
Speaker 2: They're they're fighting for that opportunity. I I, I don't know.

1932
01:43:36,400 --> 01:43:38,840
Speaker 2: I'm not betting Auburn here. I think that's too easy

1933
01:43:38,920 --> 01:43:42,920
Speaker 2: to bet Alburn. But everyone talks about this like I

1934
01:43:43,000 --> 01:43:47,040
Speaker 2: gotta tell you, man, if I'm listing like top places

1935
01:43:47,120 --> 01:43:49,200
Speaker 2: to play, I'm not sure Alburn would be that way.

1936
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:52,160
Speaker 2: But everyone talks about this game like it's the hardest game. Yeah,

1937
01:43:52,640 --> 01:43:56,960
Speaker 2: play everything, you get that sense to Yeah, I saved

1938
01:43:57,040 --> 01:44:01,320
Speaker 2: talking about yeah, yeah, I know. So I'm it's surprising

1939
01:44:01,400 --> 01:44:04,880
Speaker 2: me the way people talk about this. Yeah, it's pretty good. Listen.

1940
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,120
Speaker 2: I mean a line four and a half, it's it's

1941
01:44:08,200 --> 01:44:11,160
Speaker 2: it's Auburn line all day. It's been such a public

1942
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:14,400
Speaker 2: side dude, like everyone's been at Auburn today, everyone's better.

1943
01:44:15,439 --> 01:44:17,559
Speaker 2: I mean, if it's a public dog, the public dog

1944
01:44:18,080 --> 01:44:21,519
Speaker 2: rarely bites like right now, like Washington's public dog. Alburt's

1945
01:44:21,560 --> 01:44:25,280
Speaker 2: a public dog. I I don't. I just don't like

1946
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:26,280
Speaker 2: to be on those sides.

1947
01:44:26,600 --> 01:44:26,760
Speaker 8: You know.

1948
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:28,000
Speaker 2: No, I agree.

1949
01:44:28,760 --> 01:44:32,880
Speaker 3: I'm with youeling that uh NC State North Carolina. I'm

1950
01:44:32,960 --> 01:44:35,479
Speaker 3: gonna tell you, Carolina covers this game.

1951
01:44:36,680 --> 01:44:39,880
Speaker 2: They dude's defense is not very good. That Caroline has

1952
01:44:39,880 --> 01:44:42,760
Speaker 2: been playing much much better. They much better. Belichick's got

1953
01:44:42,880 --> 01:44:48,040
Speaker 2: to play good. He does, he's Listen, everybody judged him

1954
01:44:48,120 --> 01:44:49,000
Speaker 2: right off the bat, which.

1955
01:44:48,880 --> 01:44:54,000
Speaker 3: Was so unfair. Forget the whole Jordan Hudson thing. They

1956
01:44:54,280 --> 01:44:57,880
Speaker 3: judge Belichick right off the bat, which was ridiculous. Who's

1957
01:44:57,920 --> 01:45:01,720
Speaker 3: going to turn around a college program at Apple Hill overnight?

1958
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:09,800
Speaker 3: No one, So everybody ridiculed him. Listen, I get the

1959
01:45:09,840 --> 01:45:12,240
Speaker 3: girl who was a farce and all that stuff, But

1960
01:45:12,800 --> 01:45:14,840
Speaker 3: he could still coach. I don't care what anybody says.

1961
01:45:15,560 --> 01:45:16,040
Speaker 2: I agree.

1962
01:45:18,120 --> 01:45:20,720
Speaker 4: Would you hire if you were the Giants.

1963
01:45:22,040 --> 01:45:28,760
Speaker 2: The Giants? I don't. I don't know who i'd hire

1964
01:45:28,800 --> 01:45:29,400
Speaker 2: for the Giants.

1965
01:45:30,640 --> 01:45:32,919
Speaker 4: It's other My first choice would be Spags.

1966
01:45:32,960 --> 01:45:36,200
Speaker 2: But other than him, who is who is who is

1967
01:45:36,360 --> 01:45:41,760
Speaker 2: Spags bringing with him as the OC. That's the biggest question. Yeah,

1968
01:45:41,800 --> 01:45:45,240
Speaker 2: I don't want to say, oh, oh, you know, well

1969
01:45:45,400 --> 01:45:47,200
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean I have an idea. I mean,

1970
01:45:47,280 --> 01:45:50,120
Speaker 2: of his guys that he would look to. He I

1971
01:45:50,200 --> 01:45:52,200
Speaker 2: mean he knows like who we would bring, of course

1972
01:45:52,240 --> 01:45:54,080
Speaker 2: he does. He can't interview without knowing those different I

1973
01:45:54,080 --> 01:45:58,000
Speaker 2: mean we talked. I mean he has his guys, of

1974
01:45:58,080 --> 01:45:59,920
Speaker 2: course you do. Every coach has a list of coaches,

1975
01:46:00,120 --> 01:46:02,559
Speaker 2: right they would want to hire, and they've bet those guys. Yeah,

1976
01:46:02,600 --> 01:46:05,080
Speaker 2: but I don't want to you know, do you think

1977
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:06,600
Speaker 2: there's any Do you think there was any smoke to

1978
01:46:06,720 --> 01:46:10,439
Speaker 2: like Lane Kiffen being the Giants coach with Perry, with

1979
01:46:10,520 --> 01:46:11,920
Speaker 2: Jackson Dart. I never thought that was a thing. I

1980
01:46:11,960 --> 01:46:16,600
Speaker 2: think people just do that out there. No, that's no, No,

1981
01:46:17,000 --> 01:46:19,439
Speaker 2: I don't think so. That reminded me of the whole

1982
01:46:19,640 --> 01:46:23,519
Speaker 2: Chip Kelly Marcus Mariota thing when he took over the

1983
01:46:23,560 --> 01:46:30,760
Speaker 2: Eagles job and had Mariota at Oregon. Yeah, uh, all right,

1984
01:46:30,840 --> 01:46:35,400
Speaker 2: let's go to the NFL. You're right, anybody else you like? Yeah? Yeah,

1985
01:46:35,400 --> 01:46:38,720
Speaker 2: I think USC smokes Ucla today tonight the fair by

1986
01:46:38,800 --> 01:46:41,880
Speaker 2: twenty one. I think the US number just gives it

1987
01:46:42,040 --> 01:46:46,320
Speaker 2: to Ucla tonight, Woods shed peace. Yeah, I think it's

1988
01:46:46,360 --> 01:46:49,800
Speaker 2: I think it's like a forty nine, like fourteen game. Yeah,

1989
01:46:51,400 --> 01:46:56,800
Speaker 2: Irish put up them all the seventy. You just US

1990
01:46:57,080 --> 01:47:00,320
Speaker 2: isn't good right, Their quarterbacks beat up us. He wants

1991
01:47:00,360 --> 01:47:02,280
Speaker 2: to avenge a loss. Last week they played better at home.

1992
01:47:02,800 --> 01:47:04,519
Speaker 2: All they heard all week was how physical they got

1993
01:47:04,520 --> 01:47:07,560
Speaker 2: out physical by Oregon, which is absolutely true, and I

1994
01:47:07,640 --> 01:47:09,479
Speaker 2: think I want to avenge that tonight they're at home too.

1995
01:47:09,479 --> 01:47:12,880
Speaker 2: They play better at home. You said they're hiring a

1996
01:47:12,880 --> 01:47:14,240
Speaker 2: head coach in the middle of the game. Who knows?

1997
01:47:15,200 --> 01:47:17,240
Speaker 4: Did the Irish put up an on a seventy spot?

1998
01:47:18,439 --> 01:47:21,639
Speaker 2: Uh? Stanford at Stanford Stanford Hire to vi the Pritchard,

1999
01:47:22,240 --> 01:47:24,599
Speaker 2: the rare NFL higher in the middle of the season,

2000
01:47:24,600 --> 01:47:27,160
Speaker 2: is gonna leave the Commanders after this game this weekend

2001
01:47:27,240 --> 01:47:30,080
Speaker 2: and go be the coach of his alma mater there,

2002
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:35,080
Speaker 2: probably because style points matter this time of year. I think,

2003
01:47:35,120 --> 01:47:37,760
Speaker 2: I mean, if they can do it, yeah, they're gonna try. Yeah,

2004
01:47:38,640 --> 01:47:42,160
Speaker 2: all right, to the NFL. Let's go to Bear someday.

2005
01:47:42,880 --> 01:47:45,439
Speaker 2: All the good games have been played, but let's go.

2006
01:47:45,800 --> 01:47:53,360
Speaker 2: Uh it's kind of ugly, but Niners Browns Chandore starting,

2007
01:47:55,479 --> 01:47:59,840
Speaker 2: you know, I the standards thing. Man still like what.

2008
01:48:01,520 --> 01:48:02,560
Speaker 1: What what?

2009
01:48:02,760 --> 01:48:07,880
Speaker 2: What? What is it about him that makes people have

2010
01:48:08,120 --> 01:48:11,920
Speaker 2: these wild tammy Kendrick Perkins saying he's the most important

2011
01:48:12,800 --> 01:48:16,760
Speaker 2: black man since Prince Obama? Like what what? Why are

2012
01:48:16,840 --> 01:48:19,360
Speaker 2: we doing this? Like? What is what is it about

2013
01:48:19,400 --> 01:48:23,280
Speaker 2: Sanders where people have such polarizing takes on him? He's

2014
01:48:23,320 --> 01:48:28,160
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick, man, Like, I don't I don't understand.

2015
01:48:28,200 --> 01:48:30,240
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. I don't get what everyone

2016
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:33,120
Speaker 2: has to have. He played fine last week. He threw

2017
01:48:33,160 --> 01:48:37,080
Speaker 2: a lot of balls that were at or are at

2018
01:48:37,520 --> 01:48:39,599
Speaker 2: or right beyond the line of scrimmage. He threw really

2019
01:48:39,680 --> 01:48:42,040
Speaker 2: one really nice pass to Bond moving out on the

2020
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:45,439
Speaker 2: cover zero, and otherwise he was just like okay, look

2021
01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:48,640
Speaker 2: like a fifth round pick playing. But the mental gymnastics

2022
01:48:48,680 --> 01:48:50,599
Speaker 2: that were like using for Sanders that we don't use

2023
01:48:50,600 --> 01:48:53,120
Speaker 2: for other fifth round quarterbacks. Man, I don't get it.

2024
01:48:53,720 --> 01:48:56,200
Speaker 2: I think he should be starting. I'm excited to watch

2025
01:48:56,240 --> 01:48:58,640
Speaker 2: him play a beat up Niners defense. This game is

2026
01:48:58,680 --> 01:49:00,720
Speaker 2: supposed to have snow and a way to be kind

2027
01:49:00,720 --> 01:49:02,160
Speaker 2: of gross, the total keeps dropping.

2028
01:49:02,439 --> 01:49:04,559
Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you, I don't know what sh

2029
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,240
Speaker 3: Door is going to do for you on Sunday because

2030
01:49:08,520 --> 01:49:11,840
Speaker 3: he's not a runner and they're talking about wing gus

2031
01:49:12,120 --> 01:49:14,839
Speaker 3: thirty five mile an hour win, sustained wins at twenty.

2032
01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:16,599
Speaker 4: He's not throwing anything.

2033
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:20,479
Speaker 2: No, And I don't think he's a quarterback there next year,

2034
01:49:20,640 --> 01:49:22,840
Speaker 2: Like I don't. It's just such a weird, like I

2035
01:49:22,840 --> 01:49:24,479
Speaker 2: don't get to ship durch stuff out there. I'll be

2036
01:49:24,520 --> 01:49:26,720
Speaker 2: honest with that. I think it's because obviously there are

2037
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:28,600
Speaker 2: people that are rooting against him very loudly, but I

2038
01:49:28,600 --> 01:49:29,920
Speaker 2: actually don't think that's that true.

2039
01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:33,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think a lot of it is polarizing.

2040
01:49:33,960 --> 01:49:40,400
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, he does have, uh, the braggadocious

2041
01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:44,559
Speaker 3: kind of nature and the me me me thing you know.

2042
01:49:46,360 --> 01:49:47,080
Speaker 2: He does.

2043
01:49:49,040 --> 01:49:52,200
Speaker 3: That is that's true. But I didn't think that that's

2044
01:49:52,240 --> 01:49:54,639
Speaker 3: a racial component. So I don't, you know, I people

2045
01:49:54,640 --> 01:49:57,080
Speaker 3: will root against them. I don't think it's racial.

2046
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:02,439
Speaker 2: I think it's because people normally do not like the

2047
01:50:02,600 --> 01:50:09,000
Speaker 2: self absorbed athlete. That's that's fair, and that's that's partly true.

2048
01:50:09,800 --> 01:50:12,880
Speaker 2: And look, he's got to back it up, right, He

2049
01:50:13,160 --> 01:50:16,320
Speaker 2: talked about yo, imagine me with more practice, Imagine with

2050
01:50:16,439 --> 01:50:19,439
Speaker 2: more reps. Okay, I mean yeah, look, man, you got

2051
01:50:19,520 --> 01:50:21,679
Speaker 2: to be confident play to play any sports. I'm fine

2052
01:50:21,720 --> 01:50:23,600
Speaker 2: with the general idea of being confident. You have to

2053
01:50:23,680 --> 01:50:25,040
Speaker 2: back it up. Like That's what I didn't like about

2054
01:50:25,080 --> 01:50:29,240
Speaker 2: Jaji McCarthy talking about the alter ego. Buddy, you got

2055
01:50:29,360 --> 01:50:30,880
Speaker 2: to back it up, dude, and he hasn't done it,

2056
01:50:30,920 --> 01:50:32,760
Speaker 2: so standards has an opportunity the rest of the tife that.

2057
01:50:32,800 --> 01:50:37,280
Speaker 2: That's the same thing with the nonsense of you know nine,

2058
01:50:38,080 --> 01:50:40,000
Speaker 2: refer yourself in the third person.

2059
01:50:40,720 --> 01:50:49,439
Speaker 3: Please, that's strong are because again football team quarterback. I

2060
01:50:49,560 --> 01:50:53,960
Speaker 3: mean listen, you know we talk about I talk about

2061
01:50:54,160 --> 01:50:56,400
Speaker 3: hurts sometimes and right now I think he could use

2062
01:50:56,439 --> 01:50:59,600
Speaker 3: a break. Not gonna lose his job, but loses it,

2063
01:50:59,800 --> 01:51:02,960
Speaker 3: but get a break to just to watch that dude

2064
01:51:03,200 --> 01:51:08,920
Speaker 3: doesn't say boo. Everybody's after him. The receiver is constantly complaining,

2065
01:51:09,800 --> 01:51:14,840
Speaker 3: and he never says anything except gives you the right thing.

2066
01:51:15,000 --> 01:51:17,160
Speaker 4: He says the right things every time. Like I love

2067
01:51:17,280 --> 01:51:18,120
Speaker 4: him as a dude.

2068
01:51:19,200 --> 01:51:23,280
Speaker 2: I love him like he's he's ultimate team never talks

2069
01:51:23,280 --> 01:51:24,000
Speaker 2: about himself.

2070
01:51:24,880 --> 01:51:27,320
Speaker 3: I mean, he's the team guy to the end degree.

2071
01:51:27,760 --> 01:51:30,320
Speaker 3: I think that's when we talk about football and quarterbacks.

2072
01:51:30,840 --> 01:51:32,519
Speaker 3: You got to have to lead that way. It's the

2073
01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:33,920
Speaker 3: leadership thing, is real.

2074
01:51:35,080 --> 01:51:39,360
Speaker 2: Absolutely, So that being said, I think the Browns covered

2075
01:51:39,400 --> 01:51:42,400
Speaker 2: this game the four and a half, do you? Yeah,

2076
01:51:42,520 --> 01:51:47,600
Speaker 2: it's I just nine ers short week. Okay, Well you

2077
01:51:47,720 --> 01:51:52,560
Speaker 2: just think Niners are just much better. Yeah, and you

2078
01:51:52,640 --> 01:51:56,880
Speaker 2: know they're more equipped just to move the ball and

2079
01:51:57,160 --> 01:52:02,000
Speaker 2: in bad weather like that. Absolutely, I totally agree. Yeah, Uh,

2080
01:52:02,360 --> 01:52:03,800
Speaker 2: all right, we have to take quick tear. We'll come

2081
01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:08,280
Speaker 2: right back, go through the entire NFL sleep, and then

2082
01:52:08,920 --> 01:52:10,559
Speaker 2: we'll kick it off. Uh.

2086
01:52:35,960 --> 01:52:39,000
Speaker 3: I got I'm lost that game I've been on. I

2087
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:41,439
Speaker 3: think that's what I would do, but I would stay away.

2088
01:52:42,240 --> 01:52:45,760
Speaker 4: He looks they look better offense looks better last couple

2089
01:52:45,800 --> 01:52:46,120
Speaker 4: of weeks.

2090
01:52:46,280 --> 01:52:48,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, without Brian Yellen. Yeah, they've been they've they've been feisty,

2091
01:52:49,160 --> 01:52:50,680
Speaker 2: but I mean you can't bet on them, I don't think.

2092
01:52:50,960 --> 01:52:53,480
Speaker 2: But also Jacksonville laying sex on the road is ridiculous.

2093
01:52:53,680 --> 01:52:59,479
Speaker 3: I know, I know, uh interesting Indianapolis Texans and culture

2094
01:52:59,600 --> 01:53:01,600
Speaker 3: three half I like.

2095
01:53:01,960 --> 01:53:05,120
Speaker 2: I like Houston out right. So do I look at

2096
01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,360
Speaker 2: that defense? Strouds back and the colt have a B

2097
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:10,800
Speaker 2: plus what's his face? Dar is playing with a fractured leg?

2098
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:16,040
Speaker 2: I know, dude, I now I could no no, I

2099
01:53:16,240 --> 01:53:18,599
Speaker 2: I and they were gonna try to They're gonna try

2100
01:53:18,640 --> 01:53:20,280
Speaker 2: to run Taylor. God bless him.

2101
01:53:20,360 --> 01:53:22,559
Speaker 4: I just don't think that against that from also.

2102
01:53:22,400 --> 01:53:25,000
Speaker 2: Too, like same as sort of the Eagles, Like when

2103
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:29,200
Speaker 2: when Taylor is not successful, the offense sort of shuts down,

2104
01:53:29,439 --> 01:53:31,120
Speaker 2: and that's what teams are doing. They say, Taylor, you're

2105
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:33,400
Speaker 2: not running football, We're done with it.

2106
01:53:34,160 --> 01:53:34,280
Speaker 1: Right.

2107
01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:39,519
Speaker 4: Uh Miami, New Orleans, Miami's five and a half.

2108
01:53:42,280 --> 01:53:45,479
Speaker 2: Uh, well, I'm not way this. IM gonna watch this game.

2109
01:53:48,320 --> 01:53:53,240
Speaker 2: He's another unwatchable one Atlanta two and a half at

2110
01:53:53,360 --> 01:53:58,320
Speaker 2: the Jets. Yeah, who's watching this game? Who's the and

2111
01:53:58,439 --> 01:54:06,439
Speaker 2: irod Taylor Jets? Fine sets four and seven v. Two

2112
01:54:06,560 --> 01:54:11,000
Speaker 2: and nine. I would just to cover this game if

2113
01:54:11,040 --> 01:54:14,000
Speaker 2: you had to ask them for a wager. Right, that's

2114
01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:17,520
Speaker 2: just gross. Rams and Panthers.

2115
01:54:18,520 --> 01:54:26,439
Speaker 3: Rams Everybody's Super Bowl favorite. Now cooking everybody laying ten.

2116
01:54:27,400 --> 01:54:30,000
Speaker 2: I think at so many points, probably this is a

2117
01:54:30,080 --> 01:54:33,960
Speaker 2: pretty tough spot for the Panthers off a short week

2118
01:54:34,680 --> 01:54:36,640
Speaker 2: across the country, like they have to like, they have

2119
01:54:36,840 --> 01:54:39,480
Speaker 2: to come. They probably landed Tuesday like seven am. Like

2120
01:54:39,600 --> 01:54:41,720
Speaker 2: it's it's a tough spot to be in. But it's

2121
01:54:41,760 --> 01:54:45,160
Speaker 2: a lot, a lot of points, a lot of points. Yeah,

2122
01:54:45,520 --> 01:54:48,960
Speaker 2: I just think too many, too many. Like listen, the

2123
01:54:49,080 --> 01:54:51,120
Speaker 2: Rams are great, and I don't think they lose the game,

2124
01:54:51,240 --> 01:54:55,440
Speaker 2: but you know they're due for after what they've done

2125
01:54:55,520 --> 01:54:58,760
Speaker 2: over last month, They're due for a little bit of

2126
01:54:58,840 --> 01:55:03,760
Speaker 2: a letdown spot, agreed, right. They buried the Buccaneers on

2127
01:55:03,880 --> 01:55:05,920
Speaker 2: Sunday Night Football thirty four to seven.

2128
01:55:06,760 --> 01:55:11,520
Speaker 3: They beat Seattle on that big matchup, they crushed the Niners.

2129
01:55:12,480 --> 01:55:14,600
Speaker 2: I mean they do for a little bit of a letdown.

2130
01:55:14,680 --> 01:55:18,720
Speaker 2: I just think I like Carolina, I'll take the points. Uh,

2131
01:55:21,000 --> 01:55:25,800
Speaker 2: Cardinals in Tampa, I mean, I mean, can you figure

2132
01:55:25,840 --> 01:55:26,440
Speaker 2: it out Tampa?

2133
01:55:27,600 --> 01:55:27,640
Speaker 6: No?

2134
01:55:28,480 --> 01:55:32,000
Speaker 2: There, they're defensively, it's pretty tough right now for them.

2135
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:34,800
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield's beat up. You gonna play probably right, I

2136
01:55:34,880 --> 01:55:40,880
Speaker 2: think he's playing playing yeah, yeah, no, Baker's playing. Yeah.

2137
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:45,320
Speaker 2: I would stay away from this game. In Arizona right now, man,

2138
01:55:45,360 --> 01:55:48,200
Speaker 2: they just you know, they just they the previous two

2139
01:55:48,200 --> 01:55:49,960
Speaker 2: games that turn over seven times, they had no turnovers.

2140
01:55:50,040 --> 01:55:52,280
Speaker 2: Last week, they're plus four turnovers at home and didn't cover,

2141
01:55:52,560 --> 01:55:55,800
Speaker 2: didn't win and cover. It's not good. I don't again,

2142
01:55:55,920 --> 01:55:57,760
Speaker 2: there's no way he survives us. Right, he's got They're

2143
01:55:57,760 --> 01:56:01,120
Speaker 2: gonna find a new coach. Yeah, they're a Yes, they're

2144
01:56:01,160 --> 01:56:05,120
Speaker 2: a quarterback too in the future. I do like Brisetto.

2145
01:56:08,280 --> 01:56:10,480
Speaker 2: He's he's fine, he's a good backup. There's a good

2146
01:56:10,520 --> 01:56:11,240
Speaker 2: spot for to be in.

2147
01:56:12,880 --> 01:56:14,720
Speaker 4: Vikings and Seattle.

2148
01:56:14,960 --> 01:56:20,160
Speaker 3: The Sam Donald revenge game, I mean he walks eleven

2149
01:56:20,200 --> 01:56:20,680
Speaker 3: and a half.

2150
01:56:20,840 --> 01:56:23,200
Speaker 2: No, McCarthy, they're gonna smoke. They're gonna smoke the Vikings.

2151
01:56:23,680 --> 01:56:30,800
Speaker 2: Brosmer looks, Brosmer. They're gonna smoke the Vikings. Uh Raiders

2152
01:56:31,040 --> 01:56:33,000
Speaker 2: and Chargers. Raiders.

2153
01:56:35,080 --> 01:56:37,240
Speaker 4: Chargers are laying a huge number.

2154
01:56:38,280 --> 01:56:40,480
Speaker 2: I lean toward probably the Raiders covering this game. But

2155
01:56:40,560 --> 01:56:42,120
Speaker 2: I don't. I mean, I don't feel great. It can't

2156
01:56:42,120 --> 01:56:43,960
Speaker 2: be any worse offensively, but the charges are off of

2157
01:56:44,040 --> 01:56:46,000
Speaker 2: buy this is the healthyster gonna feel for a little

2158
01:56:46,000 --> 01:56:48,360
Speaker 2: bit of time, because I mean the charge point just

2159
01:56:48,400 --> 01:56:49,800
Speaker 2: run the ball down to their throats the whole game,

2160
01:56:49,880 --> 01:56:50,000
Speaker 2: you know.

2161
01:56:52,200 --> 01:56:53,920
Speaker 4: I mean, that's my guess.

2162
01:56:54,760 --> 01:56:58,360
Speaker 3: Something could something sneaky happen that all of a sudden

2163
01:56:58,360 --> 01:57:00,200
Speaker 3: the Raiders offense wakes up without.

2164
01:57:00,040 --> 01:57:05,760
Speaker 2: I don't think so. Their offensive line is really bad. Uh.

2165
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:11,120
Speaker 3: The best game of the day America's Game of the

2166
01:57:11,160 --> 01:57:16,200
Speaker 3: week Pittsburgh Buffalo Bill's laying three.

2167
01:57:22,840 --> 01:57:26,360
Speaker 2: Bills out both their tackles. Must win game for them,

2168
01:57:26,440 --> 01:57:29,840
Speaker 2: must win game for Pittsburgh as well. Can you tell

2169
01:57:29,880 --> 01:57:33,160
Speaker 2: me the the do we get Do we get Steeler

2170
01:57:33,360 --> 01:57:36,000
Speaker 2: Steeler voodoo? Today? Do we get that? Like? What if

2171
01:57:36,040 --> 01:57:37,760
Speaker 2: you tell me what what what Steeler voodoo we get?

2172
01:57:37,800 --> 01:57:39,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you the answer to this. This game, I

2173
01:57:39,240 --> 01:57:41,520
Speaker 2: think Buffalo wins, it covers. But if we get if

2174
01:57:41,560 --> 01:57:48,920
Speaker 2: we get Steelers voodoo, then who knows. I know, I

2175
01:57:48,960 --> 01:57:51,360
Speaker 2: could see a little Steeler voodoo in this game. I mean,

2176
01:57:51,400 --> 01:57:51,760
Speaker 2: I don't know.

2177
01:57:51,880 --> 01:57:55,680
Speaker 3: I mean, but Bill should win, like you said, but

2178
01:57:56,200 --> 01:57:58,880
Speaker 3: do you shure these weird games? I mean, and here's

2179
01:57:58,960 --> 01:58:02,000
Speaker 3: the issue. They can't stop the run, and that's what

2180
01:58:02,240 --> 01:58:04,080
Speaker 3: that's what they're gonna wind up doing the whole game.

2181
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:08,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, but Pizer does run the ball terribly well. No,

2182
01:58:08,440 --> 01:58:10,160
Speaker 2: but they're gonna try. You know, we had some little

2183
01:58:10,240 --> 01:58:13,400
Speaker 2: success with warn and game. Well they're gonna try it.

2184
01:58:14,480 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 2: Rogers is back, I know, I know Sunday night is why.

2185
01:58:22,080 --> 01:58:25,080
Speaker 4: Didn't they flex this game with what.

2186
01:58:27,080 --> 01:58:31,200
Speaker 2: I mean anything? God, maybe I thought, maybe thought Daniel

2187
01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:36,560
Speaker 2: was gonna play. Yeah, I guess, I guess you're right

2188
01:58:36,600 --> 01:58:39,520
Speaker 2: to them. Look at the slate. The slate is absolute

2189
01:58:39,600 --> 01:58:44,520
Speaker 2: trash and you can't take the four o'clock spot. I mean,

2190
01:58:44,560 --> 01:58:50,920
Speaker 2: I think I'd rather have Seattle Minnesota. Uh, well without

2191
01:58:51,160 --> 01:58:53,200
Speaker 2: I mean, that's gonna be four touchdowns.

2192
01:58:54,080 --> 01:59:00,200
Speaker 4: I'd rather have that game than the Denver Washington. Yeah,

2193
01:59:00,200 --> 01:59:01,839
Speaker 4: I mean we'll probably watch it's terrible.

2194
01:59:02,680 --> 01:59:10,760
Speaker 2: Uh. Any thoughts, I mean, I don't trust Denver. No,

2195
01:59:12,000 --> 01:59:15,680
Speaker 2: I'll probably catch up on sleep. Yeah, and then Giants

2196
01:59:15,760 --> 01:59:17,640
Speaker 2: Patriots Monday night.

2197
01:59:19,360 --> 01:59:20,480
Speaker 4: Jamee. It's always fun.

2198
01:59:22,200 --> 01:59:28,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, Dart's playing though. Dart is playing right, Yeah, Uh,

2199
01:59:29,960 --> 01:59:31,680
Speaker 2: trying to keep think of a lot of games close.

2200
01:59:31,680 --> 01:59:33,040
Speaker 2: I would trying to cover this number.

2201
01:59:34,360 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know. I would put Dart and bubble wrap.

2202
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:40,320
Speaker 3: I don't even know what you're trying to accomplish. After

2203
01:59:40,760 --> 01:59:46,400
Speaker 3: the concussions with him, I would just let it right. No,

2204
01:59:46,640 --> 01:59:53,280
Speaker 3: it's not the concussion thing worries me more. I agree,

2205
01:59:54,400 --> 01:59:57,360
Speaker 3: I just young quarterback Burrows different he's been around. Anyway,
