16
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,000
Speaker 1: be starting nights in the middle of a football game.

17
00:01:02,040 --> 00:01:05,600
Speaker 1: We're ready where another couple of weeks NFL season starts,

18
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:09,080

Speaker 1: of the night tonight. It's the Bengals with a lead

20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,319
Speaker 1: over the Washington Commanders. I'm kind of feeling like, okay,

21
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:17,199
Speaker 1: summer is ending. We're here just jump into mid season form.

22
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: Traffic was a little uh fall like tonight, where it

23
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 1: took that extra fifteen to twenty minutes to get in

24
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: with people doing some knuckleheaded things in the final miles

25
00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:29,920
Speaker 1: before exiting off to the Fox Sports radio studios. Or

26
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,199
Speaker 1: got that school starts on Wednesday here for a lot

27
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:37,000
Speaker 1: of the districts in southern California. So the last throws

28
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,960
Speaker 1: of summer silliness, as it were, gatherings for movie nights

29
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,800
Speaker 1: of things that were made thirty five years ago.

30
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,240
Speaker 3: Let's go to the movies. Let's watch stuff that came

31
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 3: out many, many years. Well, that's the thing now now

32
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 3: you look, I can't get anything green lit.

33
00:01:51,320 --> 00:01:53,280
Speaker 4: But what can we do. Let's remake a movie from

34
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 4: forty years ago? Not a bad do it, not a

35
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 4: bad thing?

36
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: Telling you man, anything that was popular in the right

37
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: now Hollywood is going through it was what was even

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 1: popular for a nanosecond back in the nineties.

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 4: We're redoing it, We're relaunching it. Now. Let's go.

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,359
Speaker 1: Does Hanson want to do more concerts? Can we get

41
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: them gone? Let's get that. Let's get the crash test dummies,

42
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: let's put them on tour.

43
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 4: Whatever we have.

44
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: Whatever's the night, I'd be pretty good unearth. Your Your

45
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: job is to go through the entire decade of the

46
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,760
Speaker 1: nineties and find something that works, and you come to

47
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 1: me with some sort of spreadsheet proposal and we'll green

48
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:30,480
Speaker 1: light it. I got one hundred million dollars behind any

49
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:31,480
Speaker 1: idea from the nineties.

50
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:34,480
Speaker 3: Everybody, here's your homework assignment. Before we meet tomorrow at

51
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 3: nine am. You're gonna go through whatever boxes are in

52
00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 3: your closet, are out in your garage. You're gonna find

53
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,160
Speaker 3: whatever toys you have, and you're gonna bring them in.

54
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,960
Speaker 3: We're gonna figure out whether the IP is available to

55
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:48,120
Speaker 3: us cheaply because many people are still holding on to

56
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:50,400
Speaker 3: those toys that you love so dearly.

57
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: And if we can make a movie, we will. Now

58
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: here we are right now again, the middle of Monday night, preseason.

59
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:03,240
Speaker 1: Bengals lead the Commanders twenty eight seventeen. Midway through the quarter, Hendrick, yeah, well,

60
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,320
Speaker 1: I think I think, judging by the defensive performance in.

61
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 4: The first half, I wasn't being serious.

62
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,320
Speaker 1: I think he's a guy going, well, now you have

63
00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: to pay me whatever, you have to pay whatever I

64
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 1: want one hundred million dollars yet gotta give it to me,

65
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: Gotta give it to me. You have to, you have

66
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: no choice.

67
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 3: And if I'm the Bengals, I'm still laughing, going, Yeah, well,

68
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 3: our defense sucked with you last year.

69
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:28,799
Speaker 4: It ain't gonna be any worse here.

70
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 3: And we got a guy that's willing to hit Joe

71
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 3: Burrow in practice.

72
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 4: That's how hungry he is to be on the field. Well,

73
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 4: that that's the thing right to.

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: Obviously, the Commanders make it to the NFC Championship Game

75
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,840
Speaker 1: last year, and we're expecting big things from them and

76
00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels this year. But I will tell you this,

77
00:03:44,760 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: there is no bigger wild card wild card.

78
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:49,160
Speaker 4: There is no bigger.

79
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:53,160
Speaker 1: Wild card in the NFL than the Bengals, no bigger

80
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: one like you watch look Burrow so far in this

81
00:03:55,240 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 1: preseason what first three drives? Three touchdowns? Great five touchdowns?

82
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 3: That dumbass scramble play though, Yeah, that's where every person in.

83
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: He was trying to get his cardio win because he

84
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: doesn't play a lot, so he wanted to just run

85
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: around a lot.

86
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: I got my steps in for two.

87
00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 3: I don't want to see him doing that week five,

88
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 3: let alone in a preseason game where he's doing the

89
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:21,840
Speaker 3: Chris Berman who whoop trying to avoid with the tacklers.

90
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:25,320
Speaker 1: This is a Bengals team that their offense could go

91
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:28,279
Speaker 1: absolutely bananas. Right, you have a huge big three or

92
00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 1: really big four, Chase Brown set to take on the

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,120
Speaker 1: load this year. They go for it on fourth and

94
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 1: one in the first have big decision, They push it forward.

95
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,400
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow could throw forty five touchdowns and for nearly

96
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 1: five thousand yards, and the Bengals could go thirteen and four. Right,

97
00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: and the offense can be that good. The defense could

98
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 1: be terrible because it doesn't look good at all. Burrow

99
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:52,240
Speaker 1: could get dinged up and all of a sudden, the

100
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,919
Speaker 1: Bengals are looking at five and twelve like there been

101
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,320
Speaker 1: no bigger wild card where hey, this team can have

102
00:04:58,400 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: a tremendous year and all of a sudd we remember,

103
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,200
Speaker 1: look how good they were three years ago. Remember they

104
00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 1: got it to the super Bowl. They beat the Chiefs.

105
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Remember Burrowhead and all that fun stuff. Or it could

106
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,479
Speaker 1: be yeah, look at the Bengals. They made it that

107
00:05:10,520 --> 00:05:13,440
Speaker 1: super Bowl. I'm never getting back again. That was just lucky.

108
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: They could go thirteen and four, They could go five

109
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:18,640
Speaker 1: and twelve. This is there is no bigger wildcard than

110
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: the Bengals.

111
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: I wonder how many of those people that I met

112
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,480
Speaker 3: leaving Sofi Stadium after that Super Bowl are looking around going,

113
00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 3: I really wish I could punch that guy in the

114
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:30,280
Speaker 3: face right now, predicting that I'd go through seasons of

115
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,240
Speaker 3: misery and that it wouldn't be quite so easy to

116
00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 3: go back to the Super Bowl. But you look at

117
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 3: a squad offensively, and this one's kind of fun because

118
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,279
Speaker 3: Browning has two touchdown passes in this one, two of

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,920
Speaker 3: them the Mitchell Tinsley Where did Mitchell Tinsley play his

120
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,760
Speaker 3: last two seasons of football the Washington Commanders, And now

121
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 3: he's doing spinning catch one and in the hand zone,

122
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 3: leaping over a defender and toe tapping in the back.

123
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,680
Speaker 3: Like with everything going on with Terry McLaurin, they might

124
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 3: they might need an extra receiver in that room. But

125
00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 3: look look at what the Bengals have been doing like

126
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,799
Speaker 3: it's it's the same as it ever was. There's guys

127
00:06:05,839 --> 00:06:08,640
Speaker 3: they're not gonna pay. And for Joe Burrow to say, hey,

128
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:10,800
Speaker 3: I want to be in camp, we need to start fast,

129
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:13,719
Speaker 3: that's all finding good. You know what the biggest act

130
00:06:13,720 --> 00:06:16,240
Speaker 3: he could have done was let's go look at my contract.

131
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,560
Speaker 3: Let's see how we spread money, and we figure out

132
00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:21,640
Speaker 3: if we think Trey Hendrickson is this big a deal

133
00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,839
Speaker 3: for us? Because the stats are there, right his individual

134
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:27,560
Speaker 3: performance have been there. But I go back to last year,

135
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,360
Speaker 3: that defense was still terrible if you look at it

136
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 3: on paper right now, even though they add in another

137
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 3: pass Rusher and Stewart, are they any better? No, they're

138
00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 3: not any better. And that offensive line isn't good either. No,

139
00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:43,239
Speaker 3: So have you really progressed? The only thing you're hoping

140
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,520
Speaker 3: is that Aaron Rodgers shows every bit of his forty

141
00:06:45,520 --> 00:06:49,680
Speaker 3: plus years cause and that Cleveland doesn't jump up and

142
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 3: bite you, you know, with one of those surprise. Hey,

143
00:06:53,040 --> 00:06:55,599
Speaker 3: they have to win a game somewhere on the schedule.

144
00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:58,560
Speaker 3: Maybe they don't, but we'll get to them in short order.

145
00:06:58,560 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 3: And then obviously you're chasing Baltimore. You're looking at a

146
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 3: squad and I think you're right there. There's they can

147
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:09,560
Speaker 3: put up a lot of points and losing spectacular fashion did.

148
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:09,840
Speaker 4: A year ago.

149
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:12,800
Speaker 1: Absolutely, this could be This could be Lady or the Tiger.

150
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,960
Speaker 1: It can the Bengals. They could be amazing.

151
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 4: They could be terrible. This this is the reality for

152
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:20,240
Speaker 4: the Bengals. Yeah, and I don't have lou Anamo to

153
00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 4: get after this. I mean even Scapegoat because they gave him.

154
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 5: A not everybody is the Bears in the preseason, Jayson,

155
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 5: everybody's the Bears.

156
00:07:29,760 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: We'll get to the Bear boy. I'll tell you.

157
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 1: You know it's bad when you lose to the Bears

158
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 1: like it's thirty eight nothing in the head, and and

159
00:07:35,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Sean McDermot says, hey, guys, we we we gotta we

160
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,840
Speaker 1: gotta get things together here a little bit.

161
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 4: Okay, we get it.

162
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: But look the other big news of the day, right

163
00:07:43,320 --> 00:07:47,080
Speaker 1: staying in the AFC North, our long national nightmare has

164
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: now finally ended. The Browns have named a quarterback for

165
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:54,480
Speaker 1: Week one, and it is Joe Flaccom. This is not

166
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: a surprise. Everybody else is hurt, right. Some players have

167
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:02,960
Speaker 1: distinguish themselves a little bit, but it doesn't matter. Kenny

168
00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: Pickett still isn't really playing. Dylan Gabriel was dinged up.

169
00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: Shoudor Sanders was really good week one, but then he

170
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 1: got dinged up and he couldn't play. This was a

171
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 1: very difficult, except not at all decision to say Joe

172
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: Flacco's the guy out of the gate. This is absolutely expected.

173
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: And the best part is now I am one down

174
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,120
Speaker 1: on my destriction of the five, the order of the

175
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 1: five quarterbacks, and how they're gonna start for the Browns

176
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,320
Speaker 1: this year.

177
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 4: I said, it's Flacco out of the gate number one.

178
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,680
Speaker 1: If you bet that parlay right, my parlay of And really,

179
00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 1: because the whole the big wild card is Kenny Pickett.

180
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,280
Speaker 1: R Kenny Pickett's a big wildcard. Well, this gave you

181
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:43,080
Speaker 1: the free space. I mean, that's really what this in

182
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 1: the center of if you're going, if you're going Flacco,

183
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:49,559
Speaker 1: and now that Flacco's name is starter, you feel like

184
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: you have some time until Kenny Pickett gets in. You're

185
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:57,640
Speaker 1: still going Flacco, Picket, Sanders, Gabriel Huntley. There's your order,

186
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:01,079
Speaker 1: there's your five guys. There your order, and right now

187
00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 1: you're one down. I said flat ot to time. It's

188
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:07,200
Speaker 1: an easy one. It's a free one, right car Right,

189
00:09:07,200 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: you got five Rosy. So he's the guy right in

190
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: the center, he's your space. Yeah, it's like we go

191
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,760
Speaker 1: to trivia's picture of his head. We go to trivia

192
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:17,440
Speaker 1: every Sunday, and uh we won this week and the

193
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: trivia had the first question. They always put on Instagram, right,

194
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: they want people to follow, so the it's a twenty

195
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: question thing, so the first one's always on Instagram, so

196
00:09:23,640 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 1: it's kind of a freebie, so you can if you

197
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:27,120
Speaker 1: don't know the answer, you could look it up. They

198
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:29,520
Speaker 1: asked the first question, so that's kind of what this is.

199
00:09:29,600 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: Let's you know it's but it doesn't matter. Five guys,

200
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: I gave you Joe Flacco's the one.

201
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:37,640
Speaker 4: Oh, you're one fifth of the way. That's pretty good stuff.

202
00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:37,880
Speaker 4: You know.

203
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 3: What I should do though, is like I got a

204
00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 3: couple of friends that were Jeopardy Jeopardy champions one one

205
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 3: one day uh, and then the husband was a five

206
00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 3: day champion who actually went into the tournament. And wow,

207
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,400
Speaker 3: pretty well, it's a pretty smart coup. Bring bring them

208
00:09:50,440 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 3: back in. Okay, they're only flaws. They both went to duke.

209
00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:56,079
Speaker 3: Oh well that's okay. I don'kay that that that's fine.

210
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 3: That's fine as long as it was in Georgetown.

211
00:09:58,320 --> 00:09:58,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

212
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, they can carry, they can take ca of everything,

213
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:01,840
Speaker 1: and I'll do entertainment in sports.

214
00:10:01,880 --> 00:10:02,000
Speaker 6: Oh.

215
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 3: I figured I bring them in to come up and

216
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 3: oppose you, because it seems like come in. You got

217
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:09,719
Speaker 3: a bunch of slack jaws that you're playing against it,

218
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:11,920
Speaker 3: so you got to bring you in some real competition.

219
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,280
Speaker 4: Now here's here's the big thing, right.

220
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: So okay, so there's the obvious thing for the Browns,

221
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: But I want to say this what I'm really interested

222
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: to see.

223
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:21,760
Speaker 4: Now, how does the.

224
00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: How does the depth chart break down between now and

225
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 1: the beginning of the season, right, because you had Dylan

226
00:10:30,200 --> 00:10:33,960
Speaker 1: Gabriel play okay at times this weekend, but other time

227
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,720
Speaker 1: showing boy, he really has some has some work to do.

228
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,440
Speaker 3: Until that pick six, which, depending on who you listen to,

229
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:41,280
Speaker 3: may or may not have been his fault.

230
00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 4: He blames everybody except Dylan Gabriel.

231
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: But either way, I mean, like I started seeing all

232
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:49,360
Speaker 3: sorts of tweets that you might as well have taken

233
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,520
Speaker 3: the ones that you wrote for Shador Sanders and we're

234
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,880
Speaker 3: going to the preseason and just changed out the name.

235
00:10:54,240 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 4: Oh look at him.

236
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: But this is this is the big one, right, This

237
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:01,600
Speaker 1: is the big thing. If Gabriel and Pickett are still

238
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:05,480
Speaker 1: ahead of Shador Sanders when the season starts, okay, this

239
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:08,320
Speaker 1: tells you one of two things is happening. Either one

240
00:11:08,840 --> 00:11:14,760
Speaker 1: there's a split between the team and the front office

241
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: and ownership as to who they want playing where.

242
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:20,000
Speaker 4: Either it's because there's no riff.

243
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:22,480
Speaker 1: If Shador Sanders stays low on the depth chart, Dylan

244
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,320
Speaker 1: Gabriel stays up, even though Sanders well out played Gabriel

245
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,760
Speaker 1: despite getting not many reps. If Sanders is still low

246
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: in the depth chart, you know, either a there's a

247
00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: difference of opinion in between if they even want him

248
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:36,120
Speaker 1: on the team. Maybe you know, the coaching staff wants them,

249
00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:38,360
Speaker 1: but the front office doesn't and the ownership is kind

250
00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:39,880
Speaker 1: of up in the air, or the other way around.

251
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: The front office wants them, the coaching staff doesn't, So

252
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: there's there's a reason why he's not moving up. Or

253
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: he needs to be doing stuff off the field that

254
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: we don't know about that needs to be part of

255
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: the of for everybody's process of a quarterback. He needs

256
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 1: to be doing things that we haven't seen on the field,

257
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: because so far on the field, Shadoor Sanders pretty good results,

258
00:11:56,480 --> 00:11:58,080
Speaker 1: right you're judging by what you saw in week one

259
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: in the preseason wardless to whatever it is. If that's

260
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 1: the case and he's still low on the depth chart,

261
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: before you get to the beginning of the season, the

262
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:09,240
Speaker 1: brown do the kid a favor, do yourselves a favor.

263
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,640
Speaker 1: Trade him, you can sell out, you can flip them.

264
00:12:11,640 --> 00:12:13,680
Speaker 1: You did a fifth round pick, you gave him some reps.

265
00:12:13,679 --> 00:12:15,160
Speaker 1: You can turn him into a third round pick. There's

266
00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,079
Speaker 1: gonna be teams that are saying, hey, we really like

267
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,800
Speaker 1: what we saw the way. You know, we could take

268
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: a look at that that half of football that he

269
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,040
Speaker 1: played and he was really good, and we see some

270
00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:26,880
Speaker 1: film from this year, from the preseason, and what we like.

271
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,760
Speaker 1: Because it's clear that the Browns aren't invested in Shador Sanders.

272
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:32,679
Speaker 1: And all you're gonna do then is after this year,

273
00:12:32,760 --> 00:12:35,439
Speaker 1: whatever happens, you wave don't get anything for him. If

274
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,200
Speaker 1: you really don't like him, and if he doesn't move

275
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:38,959
Speaker 1: up the depth chart, you can tell they don't at

276
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: the end of the preseason, Okay, trade you still got

277
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:44,000
Speaker 1: four quarterbacks on the roster. You still have Flacco. He'll

278
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: be taking for arch Manning. But whatever reason it is,

279
00:12:46,679 --> 00:12:49,080
Speaker 1: whether it was we disagree whether or not we even

280
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 1: want him on the team where he should be playing,

281
00:12:51,040 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: or we want to teach him a lesson, his future

282
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: is not in Cleveland. So you can flip him, and

283
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: you can get a draft pick back for him. You

284
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:58,880
Speaker 1: could probably you can get higher than a fifth round

285
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:00,760
Speaker 1: pick for Shador Sanders third round pick.

286
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:01,319
Speaker 4: Ooh, that might.

287
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:03,320
Speaker 1: But if you got a team desperate enough, a quarterback

288
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,000
Speaker 1: that wants to see if they can succeed, and hey,

289
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:05,720
Speaker 1: I can turn them.

290
00:13:05,800 --> 00:13:07,120
Speaker 4: I saw what I liked in the preseason.

291
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:09,959
Speaker 1: There's all kinds of mad scientists quarterbacks, the quarterback coaches

292
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,200
Speaker 1: that want to do that. You can upgrade for it,

293
00:13:12,240 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: and you walk away saying, well, there it is Shador Sanders.

294
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: The experiment was there.

295
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:17,760
Speaker 1: We spent a fifth rounde pick on him, We got

296
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,360
Speaker 1: back a fourth and a sixth, or we got back

297
00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: and forth, we got back a third, whatever it is.

298
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: We got back a third and gave back a forth.

299
00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: We moved up. We got a potential starting player. Okay,

300
00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:27,599
Speaker 1: done and done because if he doesn't move to the

301
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: depth s trut. You know that's what's going on.

302
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,640
Speaker 3: Well, but part of it is legitimately, you got what

303
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 3: nine series and he wasn't a star on all of them,

304
00:13:34,880 --> 00:13:37,080
Speaker 3: made a couple of big throws, no question about it.

305
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 3: But you know it's it's always the which side of

306
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,520
Speaker 3: the preseason are we going to where it's got to be.

307
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: Everything is the greatest thing. Like today in Chicago, Caleb

308
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 3: Williams walks on water, he misses the side of a

309
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 3: net in a speed drill where he just feigns that

310
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,400
Speaker 3: he's mad, and all of a sudden he's the worst

311
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 3: guy in the world. So it's that Shador Sanders same thing.

312
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:02,679
Speaker 3: A couple of couple of drives. Even after a draft

313
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 3: process where thirty two teams passed on him in four rounds,

314
00:14:07,640 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 3: including supplemental picks, et cetera, before you get to the

315
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: fifth round, there's still a backstory to all of this.

316
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,840
Speaker 3: There's still a real and even in camp if he's

317
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: not elevating, there's still there's still, you know, more to

318
00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 3: be said to this. Kenny Pickett may not be with

319
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 3: this team when it's all said and none. If he

320
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:27,120
Speaker 3: were healthy, he might have been spun off already or

321
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: might be close to being there. But for all of

322
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:33,000
Speaker 3: the I'm not deifying Shador Sanders off a couple of

323
00:14:33,480 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 3: touchdown throws in the seabody else, I don't I don't

324
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:38,600
Speaker 3: love him, I don't hate him, but I don't think

325
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,120
Speaker 3: you saw enough to where suddenly you're spinning him back

326
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 3: into a third round pick.

327
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 4: Oh, if you third, you give me back a fourth.

328
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:44,280
Speaker 7: Yeah.

329
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 4: No, I could see that easily.

330
00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,800
Speaker 1: That everybody's so quarterback hungry, and people's quarterbacks don't turn

331
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:50,400
Speaker 1: out the way they went.

332
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,800
Speaker 3: That's the thing though, Like coming into the draft, if

333
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,120
Speaker 3: you loved him, you had plenty of opportunities to go

334
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 3: bite the apple. Then Jets might give a first round

335
00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:00,600
Speaker 3: pick for Justin Fie hell jat show.

336
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,360
Speaker 1: Is it time for a new job? That it's time

385
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,080
Speaker 9: Empty backfield. It's standing around nineteen yard line. Three wide

386
00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 9: receivers to the left shore the right, both of them

387
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 9: on the right. Inside the numbers. They pick up a

388
00:17:43,080 --> 00:17:45,119
Speaker 9: late blitzer. Lord and Wilson. Here up Daniels with the

389
00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,280
Speaker 9: speak to the ten to five kits away from another

390
00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:54,399
Speaker 9: belt touchdown, tuckdown one again, the toughness of Daniels at

391
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,280
Speaker 9: the goal line.

392
00:17:55,480 --> 00:17:59,840
Speaker 4: Nd storm there was Commanders excited. I'm ready for the season.

393
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: We almost made it to the Summer Bowl last year

394
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: on the rookie, and now he's took his gun even better.

395
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 4: It's exciting, jacked up about it.

396
00:18:06,640 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, any time of guy's pinballing his way into the

397
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 3: end zone, something I don't necessarily want my quarterback doing

398
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:14,640
Speaker 3: in the preseason, but I guess you gotta get those

399
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 3: battle scars.

400
00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:16,280
Speaker 4: Uh yeah.

401
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:17,800
Speaker 1: Look, and this is this is part of what we

402
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,919
Speaker 1: saw those first couple of series by the command We

403
00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,919
Speaker 1: talked about the Bengals being the biggest wildcard in all

404
00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: the sports, like that was the only stat that Jayden

405
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:27,879
Speaker 1: Daniels had tonight was that fourteen yard scramble for a

406
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: touchdown because all they did was run the ball four

407
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: times in a row directly into the end zone. I mean,

408
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,640
Speaker 1: that was what the first drive was for the Bengals

409
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:36,640
Speaker 1: defense tonight.

410
00:18:36,800 --> 00:18:41,760
Speaker 3: One carry fourteen yards and the score debo ran for

411
00:18:41,800 --> 00:18:42,640
Speaker 3: twenty yards.

412
00:18:42,760 --> 00:18:46,199
Speaker 1: You had Rodriguez had two runs, one for forty yards,

413
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,280
Speaker 1: one free yard, and then you fourteen yard touchdown.

414
00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:49,560
Speaker 9: Run.

415
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 4: Now, that's you walk off the field and go. Man.

416
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: That was that was That was a big reality sandwich.

417
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:56,360
Speaker 1: We had to eat right there.

418
00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:00,880
Speaker 3: Okay, it's clobber in time, bang bang bang, one after

419
00:19:00,880 --> 00:19:03,639
Speaker 3: another and no and no. Brian Robinson in the middle

420
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,880
Speaker 3: of the arg Yeah. Oh as he's potentially I'm gonna

421
00:19:06,920 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 3: be traded away. So it's like everybody else that might

422
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 3: carry the ball, welcome to it.

423
00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, John Riggins, everybody? Oh sure, big day?

424
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 1: Uh Now, two big quarterbacks in the news this weekend

425
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: after Week two of the preseason, and the one thing

426
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: that I've really come around to, right, Caleb Williams had

427
00:19:25,960 --> 00:19:30,359
Speaker 1: a pretty good game, albeit against Bill's backups. The Bills

428
00:19:30,400 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: had a horrible game on any stretch of the imagination.

429
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,360
Speaker 4: Last night.

430
00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: They lost seventy six nothing to the Bears, and every

431
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: every person the Bears put out there played well. Caleb

432
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: Williams played well. That should have been all right? Can

433
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: we have Is it enough past that Caleb Williams sucks?

434
00:19:46,760 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: Can we can we can we cool out with Hey?

435
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,280
Speaker 1: He you know he missed a net.

436
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 4: He's no good? Can we cool out with that story? Now?

437
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 4: He's the greatest of all time?

438
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:55,800
Speaker 1: What are you talking about not the Well look it

439
00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: was against the second team, right Bill's second team defense

440
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,959
Speaker 1: out there, but still okay, he was good. And then

441
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,080
Speaker 1: all of a sudden, Tyson Beaging comes in for extended

442
00:20:04,119 --> 00:20:04,960
Speaker 1: play and.

443
00:20:04,840 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 4: He's really good.

444
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:10,879
Speaker 1: Oh suddenly social media just rrupts on Tyson Beagen, And

445
00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,040
Speaker 1: what hit me is this is that lisz I told

446
00:20:13,080 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: you last week. Just everybody's got to calm the bleep

447
00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:18,200
Speaker 1: down about Caleb Williams. All Right, he's in his first

448
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: year with a new offense. He's got the right coach

449
00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: who turned Jared Goff into a good quarterback. Again, he

450
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,120
Speaker 1: had a lot of weapons. He knows how to build

451
00:20:26,160 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 1: the offense. He's got a lot of weapons. Everybody's got

452
00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:31,760
Speaker 1: to chill out with the Caleb Williams sucks narrative. But

453
00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:36,120
Speaker 1: that's what's been overwhelming since the beginning of camp. Hey,

454
00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:39,000
Speaker 1: everything's gonna be fine. It's work in progress. It's not

455
00:20:39,040 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 1: like it's I'm watching justin fields with the Jets going.

456
00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: There's a great pass, there's a one hot pass, there's

457
00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,800
Speaker 1: still no completions to Garrett Wilson. Now, everything is fine,

458
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,439
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams, Everything is gonna be good. I told you

459
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:52,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna have a big year, right, thirty touchdowns, four

460
00:20:52,560 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: thousand yards. But because no one can calm down, because

461
00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,760
Speaker 1: as you saw again after that, there should at least

462
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,400
Speaker 1: have been a been a microsecond of all right, Caleb

463
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 1: Williams looks pretty good, right, that's fine. No, no one

464
00:21:04,800 --> 00:21:08,680
Speaker 1: is calm after his terrific performance. And when the narrative is, oh,

465
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 1: but it's only the second string against the Bills. But

466
00:21:10,920 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 1: look how good Tyson Baninge it was. That was against

467
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,000
Speaker 1: the third string. Oh, it doesn't matter, Tyson Bage is great.

468
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 1: You gotta pick a lane. There is zero patience for

469
00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:22,160
Speaker 1: Williams year two in Chicago, and you saw them push

470
00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,760
Speaker 1: Justin Fields out when they were unsure if they wanted

471
00:21:25,800 --> 00:21:27,960
Speaker 1: to go forward with him. Now now look, clearly Justin

472
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: Fields wasn't quite taken to the same extent with the

473
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: number one overall pick. You're a franchise altering court. This

474
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,240
Speaker 1: is Hey, we got a guy that we think is

475
00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:35,560
Speaker 1: really good. We got him in the first round of

476
00:21:35,600 --> 00:21:37,840
Speaker 1: the draft. But this was Caleb Williams is taken with

477
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:42,600
Speaker 1: different levels of expectation. If this year doesn't go well,

478
00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 1: there is zero patience for it. And he will get

479
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:49,160
Speaker 1: pushed out after year two and it will be Ben Johnson,

480
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,320
Speaker 1: new quarterback Bill Things. We love Ben Johnson. It's not working.

481
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: We knew Caleb Williams dunk because really, Caleb Williams is

482
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: kind of on a four year down tick, right yet, Hey,

483
00:21:59,640 --> 00:22:03,040
Speaker 1: look how good he was at Oklahoma. He transfers really

484
00:22:03,040 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: good year, staysn't in for usc for his next year. Okay,

485
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:08,640
Speaker 1: not quite as good, but still gonna be the number

486
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:11,199
Speaker 1: one pick his rookie year last year wasn't nearly as

487
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,120
Speaker 1: bad as people thought it was, but it doesn't matter.

488
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,680
Speaker 1: The optic is Caleb Williams is underachieving another year here,

489
00:22:16,720 --> 00:22:18,600
Speaker 1: and I can tell there's gonna be no patience in

490
00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,800
Speaker 1: Chicago for a year three of Caleb Williams, and something's

491
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,439
Speaker 1: going to have to happen, and it's gonna be Caleb

492
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,479
Speaker 1: Williams someplace else because you think it's gonna be well,

493
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:29,600
Speaker 1: that's fine, we'll get to year two and everything is fine. No,

494
00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:33,120
Speaker 1: there's none of that. Everybody is ready to cut bait

495
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,680
Speaker 1: on Williams now. And so if this doesn't work this year,

496
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 1: this is Caleb Williams someplace else to finish out his

497
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 1: rookie contract playing if this year doesn't work, you can

498
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:46,920
Speaker 1: see how things are gonna go. They're already potentially going

499
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:49,199
Speaker 1: this way. If he if his first pass Week one

500
00:22:49,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 1: is incomplete, that's it, man. You gotta get something really

501
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,679
Speaker 1: safe for that first pass, something really safe. Let him

502
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,000
Speaker 1: complete it from you guys, if you have that, okay,

503
00:22:57,040 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 1: make sure that is going. Because will he's got there

504
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: is zero pa for.

505
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 4: Him in Chicago.

506
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 3: Well, I mean, it's an exacerbated view of the world

507
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,560
Speaker 3: from what we were just talking about with Shador Sanders,

508
00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: except here there's actually some gravitas to the selection as

509
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 3: opposed to a fifth round pick, all the trades, all

510
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:17,400
Speaker 3: of the laughing of look what they did to Carolina haha,

511
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,640
Speaker 3: and away you go. And for Caleb Williams, he came

512
00:23:19,640 --> 00:23:23,199
Speaker 3: in with a lot of scrutiny and certainly you know

513
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 3: it's a tough talent. So the expectations on the quarterback,

514
00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 3: if you're going to invest as they did, is that

515
00:23:29,760 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 3: he's going to.

516
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 4: Be the savior.

517
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 3: You saw it in brief periods when Jay Cutler was

518
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:37,439
Speaker 3: traded for and he came in and he put up

519
00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:40,520
Speaker 3: some big numbers. And I've said it all along you know,

520
00:23:40,560 --> 00:23:43,720
Speaker 3: you look at quarterback play in my lifetime, there are

521
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,920
Speaker 3: very few guys that top it in that city. Justin

522
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,120
Speaker 3: Fields had a chance and even if he won some games,

523
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 3: Mitchell Trubisky, they made the trade.

524
00:23:51,119 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 4: They went bold and went after it.

525
00:23:53,119 --> 00:23:56,119
Speaker 3: Remember the forty nine ers didn't necessarily win the trade

526
00:23:56,720 --> 00:23:58,720
Speaker 3: off the guy they got in that first round. No,

527
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 3: it was the guy that came later, Fred Warner. But

528
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 3: just the idea that you've taken a couple of swings

529
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 3: and they haven't played out, even with a couple of

530
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 3: playoff appearances. Folks forget about Mitchell Trubisky, but didn't give

531
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 3: you that level of success. Now with Caleb Williams comes in,

532
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 3: you have the the book that Wickersham did and calling out, hey,

533
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 3: how he wanted to let no, you ask right, if

534
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 3: you think you can buck the system and change things,

535
00:24:25,600 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 3: you do.

536
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:28,679
Speaker 4: But then again, once he got there, what did he do?

537
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: He embraced the city, showed up at everything he did.

538
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 3: But people don't like that. He paints his nails even

539
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,239
Speaker 3: before he came out and played. It's like I have

540
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:40,119
Speaker 3: a silver nail polish. What's he doing again? Like going

541
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,919
Speaker 3: into the stands like he's operating from a deficit with

542
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:44,960
Speaker 3: a lot of folks regardless of what went on on

543
00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 3: the field. Right, twenty and six touchdown to interception ratio

544
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:52,879
Speaker 3: last year all fantastic, The interceptionless street great, but he

545
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:56,200
Speaker 3: took sixty eight sacks. Many of them were his fault. Well,

546
00:24:56,200 --> 00:24:57,879
Speaker 3: now he's actually got a coach who's gonna hold him

547
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,720
Speaker 3: accountable and he's got a better off offensive line.

548
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 4: Well, we'll see at least on paper.

549
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: It's like it's like if your bullpen is terrible in

550
00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:08,720
Speaker 1: baseball and you bring in a bunch of new guys,

551
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:09,480
Speaker 1: it's gonna be better.

552
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:10,480
Speaker 4: It's gotta be better.

553
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 5: It can.

554
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 3: But like, you've actually got a coach who's emphasizing tough love,

555
00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,760
Speaker 3: and hey, get the ball out right, don't take a sack.

556
00:25:18,760 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 4: Be smart with the football.

557
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 3: You got the interceptionalist streak was great, but how many

558
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 3: guys downfield did he miss because they didn't want him

559
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 3: pulling the trigger? It was all right, make the safe play,

560
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 3: keep the possession alive. It's like, no, you need you

561
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 3: need to take shots downfield and have confidence that you

562
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 3: can do so. With Ben Johnson, you're looking at a

563
00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,440
Speaker 3: completely different set and an offense that will take time

564
00:25:40,480 --> 00:25:42,719
Speaker 3: to develop, and that's the thing. There's gonna be growing pains.

565
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:45,359
Speaker 3: And if the media doesn't like it, too, damn bad.

566
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,320
Speaker 3: As long as Johnson and he are on the same page.

567
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 3: And it's look, they're over under is low. They are

568
00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 3: last in the division in terms of winning the division.

569
00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 3: They are the long shot behind the as yet unknown

570
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:02,239
Speaker 3: JJ McCarthy and the Vikings. Because last year, even if

571
00:26:02,240 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 3: they take a step back, it was a fourteen win team.

572
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah right, And the Packers are the Packers.

573
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:11,480
Speaker 3: And the Lions even losing the the coordinators, including the

574
00:26:11,560 --> 00:26:16,320
Speaker 3: aforementioned Ben Johnson, roster wise, they're still better. But for

575
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 3: Caleb Williams, there'll be a year three. They're not They're

576
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:23,199
Speaker 3: not gonna push eject just because the guys at the score.

577
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,400
Speaker 4: It's not the guys and it's it's the overall. It's

578
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 4: the overall.

579
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:31,440
Speaker 1: Feeling with the team and are we gonna get better?

580
00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: Is year three is another year in the locker room.

581
00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:38,200
Speaker 3: That's everywhere first, But if in the locker room, they're

582
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:40,960
Speaker 3: feeling good that they're progressing and they're getting better.

583
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,399
Speaker 1: And the same thing with Justin Fields, they did the

584
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,600
Speaker 1: same thing. They say, you know, what. We don't know

585
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,720
Speaker 1: if Justin Field is gonna be good. This wasn't Justin

586
00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: Fields was terrible. Remember we had a thousand yard season rushing.

587
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,879
Speaker 1: This was we don't know if Justin Fields is really

588
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:54,800
Speaker 1: going to ever be the guy. Now, clearly they had

589
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 1: a chance to pick because they were picking number one overall,

590
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,480
Speaker 1: so it was a little bit easier. But if it's

591
00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,600
Speaker 1: a bad year for Caleb Williams, it's gonna be Are

592
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:05,359
Speaker 1: we really think that year two it's gonna go forward.

593
00:27:05,400 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 1: He's with a great savant that's supposed to make things better,

594
00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:09,960
Speaker 1: And when you're with a great offensive coach who's a

595
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:11,800
Speaker 1: great quarterbacks coach, guess what you're.

596
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:12,600
Speaker 4: Expected to be better.

597
00:27:12,920 --> 00:27:15,840
Speaker 1: So if this is not better, you're gonna the Bears

598
00:27:15,840 --> 00:27:18,280
Speaker 1: are gonna sit back after this year and go, Okay, yes,

599
00:27:18,359 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: there's gonna be the The cacophony of sound to get

600
00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,320
Speaker 1: rid of him is gonna be immense, But it's gonna

601
00:27:23,320 --> 00:27:26,960
Speaker 1: be inside those walls. If we go forward with Caleb Williams,

602
00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:28,800
Speaker 1: are we sure he's gonna get it? Or are we

603
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: just postponing the future by moving on from the quarterback

604
00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 1: so so much faster now two years of Caleb Williams.

605
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 1: The second year ain't any good. Guess what, They're not

606
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:39,160
Speaker 1: gonna be a third it's gonna be We'll find a way.

607
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: Will we can move on from him. He's still on

608
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 1: a rookie deal. Someone might want him. We can, Hey,

609
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 1: it's not working for us. They found a way to

610
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 1: move on from Justin Fields. They will find a way

611
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: to move on from Caleb Williams. And it's not good

612
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:51,920
Speaker 1: because that's gonna be going forward. Do we know he's

613
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,680
Speaker 1: going to be great? And if you have a three

614
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 1: year down turn now going back to his final year

615
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:59,520
Speaker 1: at at USC, it's okay. Maybe he's just not quite

616
00:27:59,520 --> 00:28:01,760
Speaker 1: the guy. I don't think that's happening. I think he's

617
00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,600
Speaker 1: gonna be really good. Is a reason he was that good.

618
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 1: To get him outside the pocket a little bit more,

619
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:07,000
Speaker 1: you'll be fine, petre nails, whatever color you want to,

620
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: he's gonna be fine. But if it doesn't like that's

621
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:14,840
Speaker 1: really hard. Certain certain teams, you can't just say, hey, yes,

622
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: suck it up with us one more year. We're gonna

623
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,960
Speaker 1: figure it out. Even though Johnson's not going anywhere, you

624
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:21,600
Speaker 1: know he's gonna be the guy to hopefully get a

625
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,760
Speaker 1: couple more years to turn this around. But it's that

626
00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,399
Speaker 1: personnel you just saw him do it. It's gonna be

627
00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,000
Speaker 1: really hard to say, yeah, year three is gonna be better.

628
00:28:29,040 --> 00:28:30,879
Speaker 3: Well, but the bigger thing is Ben Johnson had his

629
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,879
Speaker 3: choice of wherever he wanted to go coach. He decided

630
00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 3: he wanted to go work with this guy. And I

631
00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 3: don't think that's just for a one off season and

632
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:42,080
Speaker 3: whatever this becomes, I don't think it becomes the all right,

633
00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 3: let's let's go bring in the new guy. Everybody wants

634
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,560
Speaker 3: their own guy. But he had the choice and he's

635
00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:50,520
Speaker 3: trying to fix bad habits from whatever that was. Go

636
00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 3: back to justin Fields. He completed sixty percent of his

637
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,080
Speaker 3: passes over three years. There were times that you liked him,

638
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:59,280
Speaker 3: and he certainly had some big runs towards the end

639
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,440
Speaker 3: of his Bears and you're in the crowd, got excited,

640
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,880
Speaker 3: et cetera. But and look, he was dealt to terrible hand.

641
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:06,760
Speaker 3: We can all agree to that, even if you're just

642
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 3: wanting to paint me as a Bear's apologist, go back

643
00:29:09,640 --> 00:29:13,200
Speaker 3: and watch the coaching staffs and the clown show that

644
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:16,000
Speaker 3: was running through as OC for several years now.

645
00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:16,680
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson.

646
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:19,000
Speaker 3: It's still the first time he gets cute and calls

647
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,840
Speaker 3: a toss from a offensive lineman.

648
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 4: I will throw something to the tele Okay, that'd be

649
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:25,360
Speaker 4: the second quarter Week one.

650
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: Get ready, I will throw something of television left because

651
00:29:28,800 --> 00:29:30,360
Speaker 1: you'll need a backup television because you will do that

652
00:29:30,400 --> 00:29:31,000
Speaker 1: in the second quarter.

653
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 3: But this guy was thirty five hundred yards twenty and

654
00:29:33,520 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 3: six a year ago. That was Caleb Williams stat line

655

Speaker 1: after a blown. Coverage, okay but it doesn't matter because

796
00:36:37,719 --> 00:36:40,680
Speaker 1: the overwhelming desire is that the train has left the

797
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:43,600

802
00:36:50,160 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 1: Percent he might even play the final week of the

803
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: preseason because you don't need to see anymore because he

804
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,600
Speaker 1: was really. Good he's a first round. Pick first round picks.

805
00:36:57,600 --> 00:37:00,760
Speaker 1: Play Brian dable wants to keep his. Job Russell wilson's

806
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,520
Speaker 1: a one year. Guy Joe. Shaneood they want to keep their. Jobs,

807
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:05,320
Speaker 1: hey if we have the quarterback and we drafted the,

808
00:37:05,360 --> 00:37:06,480
Speaker 1: quarterback you gotta let us.

809
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:06,760
Speaker 4: Stay.

810
00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,359
Speaker 1: Uh the timeline For Russell wilson coming into last week

811
00:37:11,520 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 1: WAS i thought he had maybe until week. Eight now

812
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,279
Speaker 1: maybe he's gotten Till october if, that because if The

813
00:37:17,280 --> 00:37:19,440
Speaker 1: giants start out poorly And wilson doesn't put a lot

814
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:22,040
Speaker 1: of points on the, board they're going To Jackson dart

815
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:24,400
Speaker 1: and it's gonna be sad Watching Russell wilson just sit

816
00:37:24,440 --> 00:37:26,319
Speaker 1: on the sideline and finish his career that. Way but,

817
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:29,960
Speaker 1: look that's how it, goes and and there is nothing stopping.

818
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:32,880
Speaker 1: That The Jackson dart hype train is now out of,

819
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:34,960
Speaker 1: control and rightfully, so because the guy has looked. Good

820
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,319
Speaker 1: the next thing is you gotta see him. Play if

821
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:39,239
Speaker 1: he was a third round, pick, yeah we're gonna stash.

822
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:40,759
Speaker 1: Him he's gonna he's gonna sit a little. Bit he's

823
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,560
Speaker 1: gotta get used to life in THE. Nfl he's a

824
00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:44,920
Speaker 1: first round. Pick we know they. Play and if it

825
00:37:45,080 --> 00:37:48,319
Speaker 1: was a case of, Hey Ben johnson starting, over he's

826
00:37:48,320 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: got a couple of. Years, okay maybe they try to

827
00:37:49,880 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 1: make it work With Russell wilson and Go, No Brian

828
00:37:52,680 --> 00:37:54,840
Speaker 1: dabeles got to keep his. Job guess, what It's Jackson

829
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:57,920
Speaker 1: dart sooner than. Later AND i Mean i'm looking At

830
00:37:57,960 --> 00:38:01,600
Speaker 1: october first now For russell that and anything short of

831
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 1: like a three and one start And wilson and The

832
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 1: giants averaging twenty four points a, game then It's Jackson

833
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:09,520
Speaker 1: dart By. October AND i know The giants aren't very.

834
00:38:09,520 --> 00:38:10,680
Speaker 1: Good so that's exactly what's gonna.

835
00:38:10,680 --> 00:38:13,120
Speaker 3: Happen, well you've had the Issues Milik, neighbors who's shown

836
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:17,600
Speaker 3: last year despite how should we, say inadequate quarterback, play

837
00:38:18,200 --> 00:38:20,759
Speaker 3: he's been shelved and it hasn't really been able to.

838
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:21,560
Speaker 4: Practice so that's.

839
00:38:21,600 --> 00:38:24,919
Speaker 3: Concerning but we watched him And tracey performed quite well last,

840
00:38:25,000 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 3: year but the offense. Sputtered you've got a pretty good.

841
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:33,520
Speaker 3: Defense most that do full on analysis of units would

842
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:35,120
Speaker 3: go through and just, say all, right this is a

843
00:38:35,160 --> 00:38:38,200
Speaker 3: defense that could, be you, know top ten when it's

844
00:38:38,239 --> 00:38:40,279
Speaker 3: all said, done can you get commensurate play on the

845
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:43,319
Speaker 3: offensive side to get you into the win? Column, well

846
00:38:43,360 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: you start off with a couple of division. Games you've

847
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 3: got The commanders on the road week, one and then

848
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:52,359
Speaker 3: you go To dallas And Russell wilson Gets, STEEL youo?

849
00:38:52,440 --> 00:38:54,680
Speaker 4: Win there are you one and? One good? Luck good?

850
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 3: Luck and then week three you've Got Kansas city coming.

851
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:01,960
Speaker 3: In so, okay what's this next iteration of the? CHIEFS

852
00:39:02,640 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 3: a lot of, questions but Rededicated Travis kelcey all of

853
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:09,040
Speaker 3: that kind of. Stuff Rashie rice will be available because

854
00:39:09,040 --> 00:39:10,839
Speaker 3: he won't have had his hearing at that point, yet

855
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:13,160
Speaker 3: and then you got week four with The chargers coming to.

856
00:39:13,160 --> 00:39:17,000
Speaker 3: Town so two road two home to. Start the over

857
00:39:17,080 --> 00:39:19,600
Speaker 3: under on wins is five and a. Half, yeah and

858
00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:21,879
Speaker 3: there's some excitement about the defense right that you can

859
00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:24,640
Speaker 3: carry it and maybe offensively you et out wins like

860
00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:26,880
Speaker 3: you want to do with Your, jets where it's that seventeen,

861
00:39:27,040 --> 00:39:30,120
Speaker 3: fourteen twenty to fourteen kind of. Win maybe you can

862
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:33,239
Speaker 3: eat couple of those. Out but in the, end you

863
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,560
Speaker 3: gotta recognize who you. Are schedule doesn't get easy at any,

864
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:38,799
Speaker 3: Point like there's not a string of. All, right there's

865
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:42,000
Speaker 3: three games against would be bottom feeding teams that are

866
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,279
Speaker 3: in the same boat as. Us so, yeah you're you're

867
00:39:44,320 --> 00:39:46,480

Speaker 4: McClain I'm stan. McClain Bounced.

928
00:42:47,560 --> 00:42:50,360
Speaker 1: Saturday sunday was, great but that Bound, saturday that was,

929
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,600
Speaker 1: like all of a, sudden the color just rushed back

930
00:42:52,640 --> 00:42:55,040
Speaker 1: into the, knicks into the, knicks into The mets, faces

931
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:57,000
Speaker 1: and suddenly it's, like, okay now we can go play.

932
00:42:57,040 --> 00:42:58,120
Speaker 4: Again we have a.

933
00:42:58,200 --> 00:43:00,840
Speaker 6: Pulse that's the other, Team orange Of. Blue by the,

934
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 6: way but, yes and The pistons should have won that.

935
00:43:04,320 --> 00:43:10,239
Speaker 6: Series BUT i. Digress recording, McLain it was interesting. AGAIN

936
00:43:10,280 --> 00:43:12,920
Speaker 6: i was there. YESTERDAY i talked To John gibbons before the.

937
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,160
Speaker 6: Game of, Course mets bench, coach Longtime Major league manager

938
00:43:16,680 --> 00:43:19,040
Speaker 6: and he had a lot of really good things to

939
00:43:19,080 --> 00:43:21,719
Speaker 6: say About. McLean and Now gibbey has seen a lot of,

940
00:43:21,760 --> 00:43:24,040
Speaker 6: Baseball he's seen a lot of kids come up and

941
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,239
Speaker 6: make their. DEBUTS i think he was very impressed By

942
00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:33,520
Speaker 6: McLean's poise the stop and also his ability to defend

943
00:43:33,840 --> 00:43:36,960
Speaker 6: and really defend his position very very. Well it's the little, Thing,

944
00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:40,439
Speaker 6: shason that go into the ability to manage a, game

945
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:43,320
Speaker 6: manage the ups and downs of a pendant. Race and,

946
00:43:43,800 --> 00:43:46,400
Speaker 6: now as far As i'm concerned, him he. Is he

947
00:43:46,560 --> 00:43:50,399
Speaker 6: is in this rotation for the indefinite. FUTURE i, MEAN

948
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:52,040
Speaker 6: i don't see anybody else is going to come in

949
00:43:52,120 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 6: and take a spot from, Him so this spot belongs

950
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:57,839
Speaker 6: to him for the balance of the regular, season maybe

951
00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:00,359
Speaker 6: even beyond. That BUT i thought his ability to make

952
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:03,600
Speaker 6: pitches against the quality Team seattle had won the series

953
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,040
Speaker 6: opener there On friday and certainly came in in there

954
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:08,879
Speaker 6: with a lot of. Momentum they're a really good team

955
00:44:08,960 --> 00:44:10,680
Speaker 6: that's probably gonna go to the playoffs, too AND i

956
00:44:10,719 --> 00:44:14,720
Speaker 6: think the way That McLean pitched On saturday was exactly

957
00:44:15,280 --> 00:44:17,319
Speaker 6: what The mets. Needed and then of course the next

958
00:44:17,360 --> 00:44:19,879
Speaker 6: step was going there On, sunday And i'll say that's

959
00:44:19,880 --> 00:44:22,720
Speaker 6: a couple of quick. Stories number, One brand And. Neimo

960
00:44:22,960 --> 00:44:26,120
Speaker 6: i've covered every Single Little League classic there it's. Been

Speaker 6: we've now had eight of. Them it's one of my

962
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 6: favorite days of the Baseball. Here Brandon neimo signed more

963
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:35,239
Speaker 6: autographs yesterday than any other Player i've ever. Seen now

964
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,800
Speaker 6: that's unscientific BECAUSE i, not of course sit next to

965
00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:43,280
Speaker 6: every single, player but just from WHAT i, Saw Brandon

966
00:44:43,360 --> 00:44:45,960
Speaker 6: nemo was a true man of the. People there was

967
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 6: one little kid who ran up to him and just,

968

Speaker 6: ball rotates off your finger to be able to get

977
00:45:18,040 --> 00:45:22,600
Speaker 6: the dropping. Action AND i just looked at the expressions

978
00:45:22,680 --> 00:45:25,359
Speaker 6: on the kids', faces the awe they. HAD i, mean,

Speaker 6: giving you an impromptu pitching lesson while you're playing in

982
00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,000
Speaker 6: The Little League World. Series wrap your mind around what

983
00:45:39,160 --> 00:45:41,560
Speaker 6: that's like at twelve years, old and that's those kids.

984
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 6: Experience and just to know that you're watching one of

985
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:49,400
Speaker 6: the great and enduringly awesome moments of someone's life and

986
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,040
Speaker 6: fold right in front of you is a pretty cool.

987
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:55,480
Speaker 6: Thing and that happened times twelve on numerous. Occasions.

988
00:45:55,600 --> 00:45:58,160
Speaker 3: Yesterday, yeah the giddiness of the, players all in the

989
00:45:58,239 --> 00:46:02,960
Speaker 3: pregame stuff and all the way through just INFECTIOUS. Jp

990
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 3: one thing that The dodgers had hoped that winning a

991
00:46:06,920 --> 00:46:10,080
Speaker 3: sweep of a series against The padres would continue the

992
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,200
Speaker 3: good vibes today as they go To. Colorado, well got

993
00:46:13,239 --> 00:46:15,719
Speaker 3: swept by The, angels sweep The, pagers and now you

994
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:20,000
Speaker 3: can face a red Hot rockies team winer's of seven of. Eight, NOW, Jp, wow,

995
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:23,279
Speaker 3: Crazy but what do we do with this?

996
00:46:23,360 --> 00:46:26,000
Speaker 2: Squad, well so for The, dodgers it's.

997
00:46:26,080 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 6: Interesting and you, Know justin AND i chatted a bit

998
00:46:28,920 --> 00:46:31,719
Speaker 6: before before the segment. STARTED i don't know if you're

999
00:46:31,719 --> 00:46:35,080
Speaker 6: going to start having to defense late For tascar and

1000
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:39,680
Speaker 6: get in a little better glove out. There, potentially obviously

1001
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,759
Speaker 6: based on it being a tie, game that wasn't really

1002
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,800
Speaker 6: in play tonight because you still had to try to

1003
00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 6: win the ball game and you wanted his bat in the.

1004
00:46:47,040 --> 00:46:52,279
Speaker 6: Lineup but at some, points as my great Mentor John

1005
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:55,440
Speaker 6: lowe told me years ago WHEN i was a young baseball,

1006
00:46:55,480 --> 00:46:59,920
Speaker 6: writer that when you get deeper into the, season especially the,

1007
00:47:00,080 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 6: playoffs baseball becomes a game of getting. Outs it becomes

1008
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,560
Speaker 6: the game of just getting, outs and you need to

1009
00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,799
Speaker 6: have your best defensive team out there at some. Point

1010
00:47:09,400 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 6: and that's WHERE i start to, wonder this is a

1011
00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:16,400
Speaker 6: team that As mookie comes, around and certainly he had

1012
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:20,520
Speaker 6: a huge, weekend you look at At, showy you look At,

1013
00:47:20,560 --> 00:47:23,719
Speaker 6: freddie look at Will. Smith Obviously munsey being out hurts

1014
00:47:23,760 --> 00:47:27,880
Speaker 6: them in this, regard but you should have enough thump

1015
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:31,040
Speaker 6: at the top of the lineup that maybe you're able

1016
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,800
Speaker 6: to make more of a defensive play at a different

1017
00:47:33,840 --> 00:47:36,240
Speaker 6: spot of the lineup to be able to just preserve

1018
00:47:36,360 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 6: late leads or or keep a late game tight as

1019
00:47:38,640 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 6: you saw. Tonight, AGAIN i don't think. THAT i do

1020
00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:44,239
Speaker 6: not think at all That roberts aired by having him

1021
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:46,279
Speaker 6: in the game it's a tie. Game i'm not really

1022
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:48,600
Speaker 6: sure what he's supposed to do in that, situation BUT

1023
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:52,040
Speaker 6: i think in, general maybe there are some games here

1024
00:47:52,080 --> 00:47:54,480
Speaker 6: and there where you're gonna put call in the game more,

1025
00:47:54,520 --> 00:47:58,719
Speaker 6: often or just make some different defensive decisions with pajes or,

1026
00:47:58,760 --> 00:48:00,799
Speaker 6: others to just try to find a way to add

1027
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:04,080
Speaker 6: your best devents a team on the. Field because this

1028
00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:06,879
Speaker 6: team in, general, Guys i'm miss telling. YOU i still

1029
00:48:07,040 --> 00:48:10,120
Speaker 6: like The dodgers a, lot but they're just not quite

1030
00:48:10,239 --> 00:48:12,680
Speaker 6: as crisp in all areas of the game as they

1031
00:48:12,719 --> 00:48:14,840
Speaker 6: were a year. Ago AND i think tonight's loss was

1032
00:48:14,880 --> 00:48:15,960
Speaker 6: the latest illustration of.

1033
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:18,879
Speaker 1: That John Paul, barrossi our Guest Jason, Smith Mike, harmon

1034
00:48:18,920 --> 00:48:21,200
Speaker 1: live from The Fox Sports radio. Studios all, right let

1035
00:48:21,239 --> 00:48:22,799
Speaker 1: me take you back now off the field and back

1036
00:48:22,840 --> 00:48:25,360
Speaker 1: To williamsport for a couple moments, here Where Rob manfred

1037
00:48:25,400 --> 00:48:28,800
Speaker 1: on the broadcast last, night went into great detail about

1038
00:48:28,840 --> 00:48:33,240
Speaker 1: what could potentially be radical realignment To Major League. Baseball

1039
00:48:33,280 --> 00:48:35,440
Speaker 1: they want to expand get to thirty two, teams and

1040
00:48:35,480 --> 00:48:40,160
Speaker 1: all of a, sudden the national media and social media

1041
00:48:40,239 --> 00:48:41,719
Speaker 1: has run them up with it's going to be just

1042
00:48:41,840 --> 00:48:44,239
Speaker 1: like THE, nfl there's going to be eight four team

1043
00:48:44,320 --> 00:48:47,080
Speaker 1: divisions and wild. Cards like you heard what he had

1044
00:48:47,120 --> 00:48:49,160
Speaker 1: to say last, night you digested it for a. Day

1045
00:48:49,560 --> 00:48:52,160
Speaker 1: what do you see as the path forward? Here judging

1046
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,440
Speaker 1: by What Brod manford talked.

1047
00:48:53,440 --> 00:48:57,719
Speaker 6: ABOUT i think what you're describing is very possible that

1048
00:48:57,880 --> 00:49:01,800
Speaker 6: we could get to eight four team. Visions and to be,

1049
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:05,320
Speaker 6: FAIR i realized he said it on NATIONAL tv and

1050
00:49:05,920 --> 00:49:08,719
Speaker 6: there are a lot of people. Watching he has said

1051
00:49:09,120 --> 00:49:13,440
Speaker 6: versions of this many times in the. Past so WHAT

1052
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:16,440
Speaker 6: i heard him say last night AND i went back

1053
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:20,840
Speaker 6: and listened to, it it struck me as, noteworthy but

1054
00:49:21,040 --> 00:49:24,600
Speaker 6: not terribly newsworthy in the sense of it being a

1055
00:49:24,680 --> 00:49:28,120
Speaker 6: revelation of something being. New so that's it's it is

1056
00:49:28,600 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 6: so to the point that it's it's out there now

1057
00:49:30,920 --> 00:49:33,600
Speaker 6: and being. DISCUSSED i think it's. Good and it also

1058
00:49:33,880 --> 00:49:35,840
Speaker 6: is just further evidence of the fact that this is

1059
00:49:36,520 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 6: this is something that's been discussed and this is not

1060
00:49:39,840 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 6: the first Time Ron manford has said something like.

1061
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,080
Speaker 4: This and so.

1062
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 6: Those that like the, idea, great because there's a decent

1063
00:49:47,200 --> 00:49:49,000
Speaker 6: chance something like this is going to happen down the.

1064
00:49:49,080 --> 00:49:53,320
Speaker 6: Line but those that hate the. IDEA i guess the

1065
00:49:53,440 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 6: LESSON i would say to, you it's going to take

1066
00:49:55,440 --> 00:49:57,800
Speaker 6: a few years before this gets worked, out because the

1067
00:49:57,880 --> 00:50:00,360
Speaker 6: only way that you're going to do radical realignment is

1068
00:50:00,840 --> 00:50:02,759
Speaker 6: if and when you. EXPAND i happen to think that

1069
00:50:02,840 --> 00:50:06,680
Speaker 6: they will, expand but it's probably more like end of the,

1070
00:50:06,840 --> 00:50:10,759
Speaker 6: decade early twenty thirties before you see a team in

1071
00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:16,399
Speaker 6: take your, Pick, Portland, Oregon Salt, Lake, Nashville, charlotte wherever

1072
00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:19,080
Speaker 6: they end up. Going, Austin texas has been one of my.

1073
00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,680
Speaker 6: Favorites it's probably somewhere in that in that range of

1074
00:50:22,760 --> 00:50:25,439
Speaker 6: teams THAT i just. Mentioned take two of those. Five

1075
00:50:25,640 --> 00:50:28,080
Speaker 6: two of those five teams go to thirty two get

1076
00:50:28,080 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 6: a massive expansion. Fee owners like. That you do it

1077
00:50:31,440 --> 00:50:33,440
Speaker 6: right around the same time that you're you're sort of

1078
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:37,440
Speaker 6: reimagining the the media rights landscape of the sport and

1079
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,959
Speaker 6: baseball probably looks a little bit different by the early twenty,

1080
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Speaker 6: thirties but a big. Thing and The commissioner has talked

1081
00:50:44,040 --> 00:50:47,840
Speaker 6: about this, before and he referenced it last night and

1082
00:50:47,920 --> 00:50:51,520
Speaker 6: again not for the first, time that that what radical

1083
00:50:51,600 --> 00:50:55,080
Speaker 6: realignment allows you to do is to play more of

1084
00:50:55,160 --> 00:50:58,880
Speaker 6: your games in the time zone that your city is,

1085
00:50:59,040 --> 00:51:03,440
Speaker 6: in and for, example a team like The Texas, rangers

1086
00:51:03,880 --> 00:51:08,839
Speaker 6: who has three teams in their division that play two

1087
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:12,719
Speaker 6: time zones, away all on The West. Coast and The commissioner's,

1088
00:51:12,760 --> 00:51:15,160
Speaker 6: point AND i think it's a fair, one is is

1089
00:51:15,239 --> 00:51:19,800
Speaker 6: you want to make your product as easily consumed and

1090
00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:23,920
Speaker 6: viewed by your viewers and your fans as. Possible and

1091
00:51:24,080 --> 00:51:27,560
Speaker 6: so while the old time traditional fan might not, like,

1092
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,640
Speaker 6: hey why are The rangers now going to be in

1093
00:51:30,680 --> 00:51:32,880
Speaker 6: the same division as The royals and The. Cardinals that

1094
00:51:32,920 --> 00:51:36,600
Speaker 6: doesn't make any. Sense, well, fine it's like change is.

1095
00:51:36,600 --> 00:51:39,320
Speaker 6: Inevitable we now have a UNIVERSAL. Dhl it's not a

1096
00:51:39,440 --> 00:51:42,600
Speaker 6: very big leap to doing. This and the idea is

1097
00:51:42,719 --> 00:51:45,919
Speaker 6: to make the game as accessible and for more people

1098
00:51:46,000 --> 00:51:48,640
Speaker 6: to watch it as. Possible and if it looks a

1099
00:51:48,680 --> 00:51:51,640
Speaker 6: little goofy for one or two, years if it helps

1100
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,920
Speaker 6: kids In Saint louis watch More cardinal, games it helps

1101
00:51:54,960 --> 00:51:58,880
Speaker 6: more kids In texas watch More ranger. Games i'm out for.

1102
00:51:59,040 --> 00:52:01,920
Speaker 6: It and the other, Thing jason And mike is this

1103
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,839
Speaker 6: and you both you've lived in these cities and these

1104
00:52:04,880 --> 00:52:07,640
Speaker 6: are your. Teams that's all make this. Point you might

1105
00:52:07,680 --> 00:52:09,719
Speaker 6: have people saying oh my, gosh The cubs and The.

1106
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:12,239
Speaker 6: Socks they can't be in the same. Division and people might,

1107
00:52:12,320 --> 00:52:14,120
Speaker 6: say oh my, gosh The yankees And, mets they can't

1108
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,520
Speaker 6: be in the same. Division guess what y'all are gonna. Watch,

1112
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 6: we're in The subway series more, often and we might

1113
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,040
Speaker 6: have a first round series between The mets and The,

1114
00:52:31,160 --> 00:52:34,879
Speaker 6: yankees and as a, Result, Nah i'll. Pass i'm. Out,

1120
00:52:48,760 --> 00:52:51,759
Speaker 6: and The Angels dodgers' rivalry is. Real you could have

1121
00:52:51,840 --> 00:52:56,200
Speaker 6: a division now where it's gonna be Potentially Angels, Dodgers,

1122

1151
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:19,200
Speaker 6: to overcome arm. Injuries. Earlier first of, all we talked

1152
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:21,759
Speaker 6: about a blood. Clot good on the doctors for being

1153
00:54:21,800 --> 00:54:24,520
Speaker 6: able to recognize, it and For zach's athletic trainers with The,

1154
00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,440
Speaker 6: phillies and For zach himself for speaking up because that's

1155
00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:31,680
Speaker 6: the scary. Thing and so what The phillies announced today

1156
00:54:31,840 --> 00:54:35,160
Speaker 6: was that it's been basically taken care. Of so like

1157
00:54:35,280 --> 00:54:38,439
Speaker 6: the thrabosas has been taken care, of that's obviously great.

1158
00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:41,839
Speaker 6: News what we don't know is how it was taken care,

1159
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,040
Speaker 6: of where it, was the extent of the surgery is

1160
00:54:45,040 --> 00:54:47,799
Speaker 6: a lot that we don't know right. Now if if

1161
00:54:47,960 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 6: AND i will, say if it was a full thoracic

1162
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,680
Speaker 6: outlet syndrome, procedure which we do not. Know we do

1163
00:54:55,840 --> 00:54:59,360
Speaker 6: not know. That but if it, was it's almost certainly season.

1164
00:54:59,480 --> 00:55:02,040
Speaker 6: ENDING i, mean that's that's if it was that. Extent

1165
00:55:02,160 --> 00:55:04,040
Speaker 6: we don't know the extent of, it and so we'll

1166
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:06,799
Speaker 6: wait to hear from The phillies about where they're at

1167
00:55:07,040 --> 00:55:10,120
Speaker 6: in terms of the specifics. There but it's it's obviously tough.

1168
00:55:10,200 --> 00:55:13,440
Speaker 6: News he's out. Indefinitely Uh, no one really knows when

1169
00:55:13,480 --> 00:55:16,000
Speaker 6: he's gonna be able to pitch. Again I'm i'm optimistic

1170
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:18,200
Speaker 6: based on you, know there have been other pictures that

1171
00:55:18,280 --> 00:55:21,680
Speaker 6: have dealt with different situations of this type have gone

1172
00:55:21,719 --> 00:55:24,080
Speaker 6: on the pitch, Again So i'm optimistic that it's not

1173
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:28,040
Speaker 6: going to be a career ending. Situation but but this

1174
00:55:28,280 --> 00:55:32,200
Speaker 6: is a massive impediment for The. Phillies there's no there's

1175
00:55:32,200 --> 00:55:34,280
Speaker 6: no getting around of. It that's he's the ace. Pitcher

1176
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,400
Speaker 6: they're Hoping nola gets back to. Form but it's this

1177
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 6: is certainly a game changer in a very unfortunate way

1178
00:55:41,200 --> 00:55:41,960
Speaker 6: in The National League.
