You're just 36 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 2: a we see this with offensive and defensive linemen. 37 00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:02,400 Speaker 3: No, yeah, yeah, just. 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,680 Speaker 4: Not as muscular, a little softer around the edges, but 39 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 4: a little lighter. 40 00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:11,120 Speaker 2: But did you try to purposely bulk up when I played? 41 00:02:11,320 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 5: Oh? 42 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:12,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, for sure. 43 00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 4: For me, it was always difficult to keep the weight 44 00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,880 Speaker 4: on just by kind of you know, my frame or whatever. 45 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,359 Speaker 3: It was. It was work to try. 46 00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 4: And get to two twenty two seventeen is what I 47 00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:25,680 Speaker 4: played at and I probably way about two or five now. 48 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 2: So but you just see quarterbacks like rag dolls. But 49 00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 2: then you see those quarterbacks in person, and like Trevor 50 00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:33,640 Speaker 2: Lawrence is a big guy, no doubt you've seen him 51 00:02:33,720 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: last night. 52 00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 4: I mean Trevor is I mean he is put together, yeah, 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,080 Speaker 4: and just broad shouldered big. And you know we were 54 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:42,960 Speaker 4: talking about Cam Newton last night too, same thing. 55 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,240 Speaker 3: Played against him in Division. 56 00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:46,160 Speaker 4: I remember meeting him for the first time and being like, 57 00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:47,360 Speaker 4: we played the same position. 58 00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 2: What are you talking about? 59 00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:49,640 Speaker 5: Man? 60 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 2: He looks like the dns that I go against. 61 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 4: So yes, yeah, it's it's there's some some big guys, 62 00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 4: but you know I was able to do it pretty 63 00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 4: well at my size and made it. 64 00:02:59,360 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 3: Work for me. 65 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,960 Speaker 2: But is there you know you see Peyton and Brady 66 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 2: and they would kind of go in the fetal position 67 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,360 Speaker 2: if they were going to be sacked. Yeah that's okay, 68 00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 2: isn't it. 69 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:12,400 Speaker 4: Listen, Your your best ability is availability right when you 70 00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,880 Speaker 4: can play. Yeah, so Tom and Peyton they kind of 71 00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 4: had that down to a science. 72 00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,560 Speaker 3: I you know, I was kind of in. 73 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:22,240 Speaker 4: That era of quarterbacks just right after them. Right, So 74 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,160 Speaker 4: I had watched them play in the NFL for seven 75 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,560 Speaker 4: eight years, nine years before I got there, and then 76 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:29,400 Speaker 4: you know, played. I guess Tom played longer than me. 77 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:31,079 Speaker 4: He still was playing after I was done. 78 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: But do you think he could still play? 79 00:03:33,080 --> 00:03:33,760 Speaker 3: I think he could. 80 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 4: I mean, I think the way he takes care of himself, 81 00:03:35,800 --> 00:03:39,400 Speaker 4: it looks like like he looks he looks more fit 82 00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,440 Speaker 4: now than he's ever ever been. And so, you know, 83 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 4: and I think the style with which he played leads 84 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 4: to being able to play longer, right, not moving around, 85 00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:49,360 Speaker 4: not having to run do all those types of different things. 86 00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 4: Because he could still throw it. I mean, he could 87 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:51,680 Speaker 4: still spin it at the end. 88 00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 2: Uh Matt sacked five hundred times, palling. 89 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 6: Four hundred and eighty eight times he was sacked in 90 00:03:56,680 --> 00:03:57,080 Speaker 6: his crew. 91 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 2: But you were still pretty good? Look at you? 92 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I still feel pretty good. I can still swing 93 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:06,119 Speaker 3: the golf club, which is good. 94 00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:07,800 Speaker 2: Is there one that stands out? 95 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 3: One sack that stands out? 96 00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 2: Uh? 97 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 4: I mean they all kind of run together when you 98 00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:16,599 Speaker 4: get about five hundred of them, but uh, I'd say 99 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 4: the sack fumble in the Super Bowl is probably the 100 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 4: one that listen. I think sometimes I think sometimes you 101 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 4: got to get in front of it. 102 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,719 Speaker 6: Right, you're the guy. 103 00:04:23,880 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 2: You just got to go and go in front of him. 104 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,360 Speaker 4: So if you're asking me about one of them, Dan, 105 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:32,760 Speaker 4: I would probably say that's the one I would like 106 00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 4: to have not been sacked on. But anyhow, what else 107 00:04:37,480 --> 00:04:38,960 Speaker 4: do you guys want to talk about? 108 00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:39,080 Speaker 2: Football? 109 00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:39,560 Speaker 3: Playoff? 110 00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,479 Speaker 2: What was what was that play called? So you're in 111 00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: the huddle and you call that play, what is it? 112 00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 4: That's a good question. I don't remember the exact play 113 00:04:47,240 --> 00:04:50,480 Speaker 4: call offhand. I'm always amazed some of these guys that 114 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 4: that can rip back from, you know, just. 115 00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 2: Off the Your guy's memories have to be it's. 116 00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:57,919 Speaker 4: It's really good. I remember the situation. I remember what 117 00:04:58,040 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: the route we had going on. We had Aldric Robin 118 00:05:00,279 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 4: run in the corner that was coming out like the 119 00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:03,120 Speaker 4: top of this and he was going to be open 120 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:05,520 Speaker 4: like he was. He was going to be open and 121 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,560 Speaker 4: trying to hang on for that extra second give him 122 00:05:07,560 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 4: a chance to. 123 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:08,479 Speaker 3: Make a play. 124 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,000 Speaker 2: But would that have been a touchdown? 125 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: It would have been a chunk. I think there was 126 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 4: a chance, but it would have been a chunk play 127 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 4: for sure. 128 00:05:14,839 --> 00:05:18,279 Speaker 2: But you don't remember the call, but I can't remember it. 129 00:05:18,279 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 4: It was a designer what we call designer calls, So 130 00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:22,719 Speaker 4: it was like a specific play for that week, for 131 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:25,719 Speaker 4: that situation. So it wasn't like you know, gun trips 132 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:27,920 Speaker 4: right three jet jaws ex Drift, which was one of 133 00:05:27,680 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: our staple plays.

So it kind of happened faster 177 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,480 Speaker 4: than I thought. It wasn't something like I was planning 178 00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,200 Speaker 4: as a player, this is it, this is where I'm 179 00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:29,960 Speaker 4: going when I'm done. 180 00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,240 Speaker 2: I was, you know, wondering about this though. When you 181 00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:34,840 Speaker 2: get towards the end of when do you know you're 182 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 2: at the end of your career. 183 00:07:36,600 --> 00:07:38,320 Speaker 3: There were a handful of times in India I knew it. 184 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 2: Was this is probably it okay? But was it because 185 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:43,600 Speaker 2: of you? 186 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:45,360 Speaker 3: Listen? 187 00:07:45,520 --> 00:07:47,280 Speaker 4: I still think I had gas left in the tank 188 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:50,880 Speaker 4: right to be able to play. That year was a 189 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 4: strange year, like Frank Wright being fired and Jeff Saturday 190 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:57,320 Speaker 4: coming in and I got benched and then came back 191 00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:58,960 Speaker 4: and played a little bit and just kind of the 192 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:03,840 Speaker 4: whole the whole deal, and then being away. My wife 193 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:06,520 Speaker 4: was pregnant with my youngest son, so they were back 194 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,720 Speaker 4: in Atlanta. She was there kind of visiting with doctors 195 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 4: there and they were back and forth, that whole kind 196 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:10,920 Speaker 4: of thing. 197 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 3: It wasn't like a wake up. 198 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 4: It was just kind of a slow drip to you know, 199 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:17,280 Speaker 4: and I think my life's moving in a different direction. 200 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 2: Did you ever think about trying to join the Eagles? 201 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 3: I no, never, seriously. 202 00:08:25,560 --> 00:08:27,520 Speaker 4: I grew up but like I played against them enough 203 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 4: that they soon did not become my team, right, so 204 00:08:32,280 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 4: we you know, it's stuff like the Steelers. 205 00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,680 Speaker 3: Could I have played for the Steelers? Uh? Yeah, Like. 206 00:08:40,080 --> 00:08:43,679 Speaker 4: I think your allegiances, your childhood allegiances, Yeah, go out 207 00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:45,760 Speaker 4: the wayside the minute you get drafted or you get 208 00:08:45,880 --> 00:08:49,079 Speaker 4: you know, you put into a building. And so particularly 209 00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,680 Speaker 4: I think when you play for an organization as long 210 00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:53,640 Speaker 4: as I did in Atlanta. 211 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,400 Speaker 3: You know, my we got a little chipmunk running around there. Yes, 212 00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 3: wildlife on. 213 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: We had dog go fers had I'm sniffing dogs up 214 00:09:01,280 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: there earlier. Yeah, we got it all. 215 00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: Going to love it, I love it. 216 00:09:05,400 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. We're talking to Matt Ryan. I was wondering about 217 00:09:08,960 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins in the situation that he's in now. He 218 00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,240 Speaker 2: said he was kind of blindsided with the whole Michael 219 00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:18,480 Speaker 2: Pennix raft pit. What do you do in a situation now? 220 00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 2: You can't feel sorry for him from the standpoint of 221 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,000 Speaker 2: one hundred million dollars guaranteed. Sure, but he does want 222 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:28,560 Speaker 2: to play. Yeah, I don't know if he no other 223 00:09:28,600 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 2: team was interested because of the one hundred million dollars guarantee. 224 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,640 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean that's that is Listen, I get both 225 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:38,480 Speaker 4: sides of it, right, I get I get the frustration 226 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:40,839 Speaker 4: from Kirk's end, right, you would you would hope for 227 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 4: transparency coming into a situation of what the plan is 228 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 4: moving forward? 229 00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: Hey, why are you bringing me in? Is there? You know? 230 00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 3: What kind of runway are we looking at here? With? 231 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 4: With myself, I think from the Falcons perspective, that was 232 00:09:56,280 --> 00:10:00,480 Speaker 4: such a deep draft at quarterback, you know, and I 233 00:10:00,480 --> 00:10:03,640 Speaker 4: think that as I've been removed as a player, my 234 00:10:03,640 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 4: player side of me goes right to Kirk. Of of course 235 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 4: I'd be pissed too, right, you know you're in that situation. 236 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,240 Speaker 4: I think that's a natural competitor's reaction, like what are 237 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 4: we doing? 238 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,199 Speaker 3: We've got other spots we could go. 239 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,640 Speaker 4: You've heard other quarterbacks say that in buildings where they've 240 00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:18,960 Speaker 4: been established in their drafting young quarterbacks, saying what are 241 00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 4: we doing? We can add value at different spots. So 242 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,360 Speaker 4: I think Kirk coming in feeling like he had a 243 00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 4: four or five year runway to play there and then 244 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,240 Speaker 4: them going in a different direction was probably difficult is 245 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,880 Speaker 4: difficult for him. But I get the organization standpoint, because 246 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 4: I do think you know, when you look at last 247 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,839 Speaker 4: year's draft, the depth of that quarterback position, and then 248 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,720 Speaker 4: projecting forward right what the next two or three drafts 249 00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,320 Speaker 4: are going to look like, and hoping that you're not 250 00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 4: in a position to draft early. 251 00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 2: It's the position you've got to take care of. 252 00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:50,040 Speaker 4: And if you're defending the Falcons, which you know I'm 253 00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:52,559 Speaker 4: biased because I'm played there so long and root for 254 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 4: them and all those kind of things, you have to 255 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,760 Speaker 4: get that position right right, and you have to get 256 00:10:58,800 --> 00:11:00,400 Speaker 4: it right and when you've got the opportun unity to 257 00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 4: acquire somebody who I think is really talented. I think 258 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 4: Michael Penix has a lot of talent, and I think 259 00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:06,959 Speaker 4: he played really well at the end. 260 00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:08,839 Speaker 3: Of the year. You got to do it. 261 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 2: But how did the Niners miss on trade lands? How 262 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 2: does that happen? 263 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,880 Speaker 3: Well, they're not the only ones you missed on quarterbacks. 264 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:21,199 Speaker 2: When you trade up and you whiff on a guy, yeah, 265 00:11:21,320 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 2: it's and I just thought he didn't have enough starts. 266 00:11:25,040 --> 00:11:26,600 Speaker 2: I needed a larger sample size. 267 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 4: What you know, you go specifically to Michael Pennox. I 268 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:30,520 Speaker 4: think one of the things you look at when you 269 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:33,200 Speaker 4: draft a guy like that is, yes, there were injury 270 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:35,200 Speaker 4: concerns and me and those kind of things. 271 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:40,640 Speaker 2: But there was there was a large body of work Indiana. 272 00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:42,199 Speaker 4: Right, And I remember the old Bill Parcells. You know, 273 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,000 Speaker 4: the checklist for drafting quarterbacks was three year starters and 274 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,080 Speaker 4: all this, and you know, whatever the checklist was, but 275 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,600 Speaker 4: it was he wanted a sample size. And I think 276 00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 4: that's gotten increasingly more difficult. You guys are talking about 277 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:56,840 Speaker 4: the college football playoff coming in, but the portal, people 278 00:11:56,880 --> 00:11:59,240 Speaker 4: moving around, people getting out of there more and more, 279 00:11:59,280 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 4: I think it's hard to get I had a big 280 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 4: sample size of quarterbacks at this point. 281 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 2: When you look at your resume, do you see Hall 282 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 2: of Famer. 283 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 4: I've been asked this, and I don't think there's any 284 00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 4: great way to kind of dot it. I'm proud of 285 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,080 Speaker 4: what I did, you know, and it's not for me 286 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,600 Speaker 4: to decide. But if you were going to convince me, 287 00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 4: if I were going to convince you, Let's say I'm 288 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,600 Speaker 4: a voter, the numbers are pretty good. 289 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 2: Well, you got the MVP, sure, and you played in 290 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:31,080 Speaker 2: the Super Bowl. 291 00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:31,440 Speaker 3: Yep. 292 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 2: If you win, this all goes back to that sack. 293 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 4: Damn it all goes back to that sack, all right, 294 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 4: that one sack you wanted to talk and you. 295 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: Have one of the great completions that people forget about 296 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:45,320 Speaker 2: towards the end of that game. 297 00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:47,319 Speaker 4: I was one half of that. The other half was 298 00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:49,600 Speaker 4: pretty good too. Jones was pretty good on the other 299 00:12:49,679 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 4: end of it. 300 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:54,960 Speaker 2: It's there's so many like plays that God forgotten in 301 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:59,320 Speaker 2: super Bowls because you didn't win Seattle. Who was the 302 00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:05,320 Speaker 2: guy forgotten? Yeah, one of the great catches in super 303 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:09,000 Speaker 2: Bowl history. And we're like, oh, yeah, that's right. And 304 00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,400 Speaker 2: Julio made that grab, and I go, he just won 305 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:12,120 Speaker 2: the super Bowl. 306 00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,079 Speaker 3: That's kind of what I was thinking to myself, but. 307 00:13:17,040 --> 00:13:19,720 Speaker 2: It didn't quite shake out that way. But I think 308 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:22,840 Speaker 2: you're a Hall of Famer. But you know, it's tricky, 309 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 2: like somebody says, is Russell Wilson hall of Famer? Is 310 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,520 Speaker 2: Philip Rivers a Hall of Famer? Like I would never 311 00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:34,120 Speaker 2: want to vote on this because this is you're changing lives. Sure, sure, 312 00:13:34,240 --> 00:13:36,440 Speaker 2: so you got whatever forty five guys who are in 313 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: there arguing back and forth, and then you know, you 314 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:42,960 Speaker 2: start to promote and then you denigrate somebody, and like 315 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 2: it is Russell Wilson playing himself out of the Hall 316 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,880 Speaker 2: of Fame with the way he's played since Denver and 317 00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,840 Speaker 2: you know now with Pittsburgh and then New York. 318 00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, I think you talk about his body 319 00:13:55,760 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 4: of work and the consistency for the better part of 320 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,960 Speaker 4: a decade and what they did in Seattle, I mean, yeah, 321 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:03,120 Speaker 4: I think there's a lot of guys that probably didn't play. 322 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,839 Speaker 4: You think of Joe Namath or Johnny and Idis in 323 00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 4: different uniforms at the end, they're Hall of Famers, right, 324 00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:12,320 Speaker 4: and they certainly didn't play themselves out of it. But 325 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,640 Speaker 4: you know, I think when you talk about Russ, there 326 00:14:15,720 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 4: was so much that he did and it was so 327 00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 4: consistent for so long. To me, whether it's the Hall 328 00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 4: of Fame discussion or whether it's players or whatever, the 329 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,760 Speaker 4: thing I've always been most impressed with is guys that 330 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,880 Speaker 4: do it for a long time at the same level, 331 00:14:29,960 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 4: over and over and over, and you can you can 332 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 4: kind of check mark what they're gonna do when they 333 00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,680 Speaker 4: go out there and perform. I think that's one of 334 00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,840 Speaker 4: the things, regardless of sport, that I've always admired. 335 00:14:40,240 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 2: Well, you look at Eli. Eli's numbers are average clutch clutch, Yes, Yes, 336 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,200 Speaker 2: he beat Tom Brady twice. Yes, that's why he's the 337 00:14:51,200 --> 00:14:53,280 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame I'll put. 338 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 4: Everybody in, man, I'll put everybody in there. 339 00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 2: Joe Flacco going in well. I love Joe, I love Joe, 340 00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:07,160 Speaker 2: and Joe is a good friend of mine. But of 341 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:09,000 Speaker 2: Philip Rivers, I believe. 342 00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:09,520 Speaker 3: So yeah. 343 00:15:09,600 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 4: I mean you talk about is a really interesting time 344 00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 4: the league was changing, right. You go from the mid 345 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 4: two thousands to really twenty twenty, and the league changed 346 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:22,000 Speaker 4: into that past first type of offense. And you have 347 00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 4: about eight or ten guys that put up numbers that 348 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 4: are in the top ten of the history of the 349 00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,040 Speaker 4: league during that short period of time. I don't know 350 00:15:30,040 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 4: if we'll see that. I don't know if careers will 351 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:34,920 Speaker 4: go as long as they did. As the style of 352 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,840 Speaker 4: quarterback play evolves, right, and the exposure to hits and 353 00:15:37,920 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 4: running and those kind of things. And you've seen passing 354 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 4: yards come down in the last three or four or 355 00:15:43,680 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 4: five years, right, It's not you know, we went to 356 00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 4: the seventeenth game and you're thinking everybody's going to be 357 00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:49,840 Speaker 4: thrown for over five thousand yards. 358 00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: You just don't see it. 359 00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 4: And so I think the league has evolved into you know, 360 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,360 Speaker 4: how they're running the football. I think it's bring those 361 00:15:57,360 --> 00:16:00,520 Speaker 4: passing numbers down. So I think the numbers, it was 362 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 4: an interesting time, and I think there were a lot 363 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,280 Speaker 4: of good, really good passers in the league at that time. 364 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,000 Speaker 2: Okay, can I make this statement? 365 00:16:08,440 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 3: Can't make any statement? 366 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:11,960 Speaker 2: Okay, but I want to know if you agree that 367 00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,880 Speaker 2: Mahomes isn't the best quarterback in the NFL, but he's 368 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,240 Speaker 2: the quarterback you would want in the biggest game. 369 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,920 Speaker 3: There's a lot to that statement. 370 00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:29,200 Speaker 4: The second part, yes, right, his track record I believe 371 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 4: has proven that although the Super Bowl, they didn't have 372 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:36,440 Speaker 4: their best performance this past year. But for me, you know, personally, 373 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:40,080 Speaker 4: that doesn't change my opinion of Patrick Mahomes. Right, if 374 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 4: you roll out the ball in the biggest of the 375 00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:44,280 Speaker 4: big games, yeah, I think he's the guy that you're 376 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:44,800 Speaker 4: going to take. 377 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: You know, I think, how are you pigeon holing that. 378 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:51,880 Speaker 3: First part of the statement? 379 00:16:51,880 --> 00:16:55,520 Speaker 2: Okay, who's the best quarterback in regular season? Quarterback? Who 380 00:16:55,560 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 2: is the best quarterback in the NFL? 381 00:16:59,440 --> 00:17:01,560 Speaker 4: It's a great question. I think you probably still have 382 00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 4: to go with Patrick Mahomes. I mean, you look, you 383 00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 4: look at what they did last year. 384 00:17:06,080 --> 00:17:07,320 Speaker 2: See, how would say Joe Burrow. 385 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,840 Speaker 3: Joe Burrow's excellent. I mean, Joe Burrows. 386 00:17:09,880 --> 00:17:13,119 Speaker 2: He did everything to get them into the playoffs and 387 00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 2: could have been an MVP candidate. He played that well. 388 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 3: I certainly agree with you. 389 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:19,360 Speaker 2: I think Joe or Lamar Jackson. 390 00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 4: I think the league's in a great spot right now 391 00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,080 Speaker 4: with quarterback play, Like I really do. 392 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 3: I think it's it's really good. 393 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 4: But if you're asking me one regular season game, I'll 394 00:17:29,880 --> 00:17:30,439 Speaker 4: take Patrick. 395 00:17:30,600 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 2: I'll take Patrick Mahomes, all right, fair enough, It's just 396 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,840 Speaker 2: just an opinion. Yeah, what's your jacket signs for the 397 00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:43,320 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame. So I think that that's what I 398 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:49,800 Speaker 2: told Himbout. Great to see again, Good to see it. 399 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,359 Speaker 2: He's Matt Ryan, he promised he was telling stories today. 400 00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,920 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 401 00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,879 Speaker 1: the nation.

I like how he 427 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,560 Speaker 2: got out ahead of it, and he brought up the 428 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,960 Speaker 2: sack and the fumble in the Super Bowl, But that's 429 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,280 Speaker 2: not what I was getting at. I was talking about 430 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,160 Speaker 2: you got sacked nearly five hundred times. What's that one? 431 00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 2: You remember of you know, the physical nature of it. 432 00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,600 Speaker 2: And then he brought up the Super Bowl. But the 433 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 2: fact that I asked him what was the play call? 434 00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:48,639 Speaker 2: Quarterbacks can remember everything. Everything almost feels like he's blocked 435 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:53,400 Speaker 2: that out, that moment out. Really, That's what the first 436 00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:56,159 Speaker 2: thing had struck me is I don't know what it was. 437 00:19:56,840 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 2: I don't even care what it was. But then he 438 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,440 Speaker 2: knew that he that could have been a touchdown pass 439 00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 2: to his tout tight end. 440 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,680 Speaker 8: Yeah, and I don't I don't blame him at all 441 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:09,320 Speaker 8: if he did sort of block that out. You know, 442 00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:11,920 Speaker 8: you're you're a kid, and you dream your whole life 443 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,480 Speaker 8: of getting to that moment, and then that's what happens. 444 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:16,159 Speaker 8: You know, all of your dreams are because when you 445 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 8: made it to the NFL, I mean, that's crazy enough. 446 00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:20,959 Speaker 8: But then now you're in the Super Bowl and you're rolling, 447 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 8: you're cooking, You're absolutely destroying the Patriots, you know, I 448 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,400 Speaker 8: mean that must just be crushing. 449 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:30,920 Speaker 6: Yes, exactly. You threw four sixty three. 450 00:20:30,560 --> 00:20:34,080 Speaker 9: Thousand yards, three hundred and eighty win touchdowns, Pro Bowl 451 00:20:34,520 --> 00:20:38,439 Speaker 9: and multiple Pro Bowls MVP. You're two plays away from 452 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,840 Speaker 9: taking top down Tom Brady and cruising to the Hall 453 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:43,920 Speaker 9: of Fame, and it was that tenuous. 454 00:20:45,760 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 2: Yes, but you know what, when it comes to the 455 00:20:47,880 --> 00:20:51,879 Speaker 2: Hall of Fame, everybody's gonna have fifty thousand yards. The 456 00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:57,000 Speaker 2: MVP helps being, you know, being in the Super Bowl helps, 457 00:20:57,040 --> 00:21:02,280 Speaker 2: He's likable, he's in the media. Yeah, you know, I'm glad. 458 00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:05,399 Speaker 2: I don't have I stressed enough when I was voting 459 00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,800 Speaker 2: on NBA Awards. I cannot imagine the Hall of Fame 460 00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 2: and just the pressure that you have. 461 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 10: Yeah, Marvin, it's funny how two like one game can 462 00:21:15,359 --> 00:21:17,199 Speaker 10: separate you from being a Hall of Famer or not. 463 00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:22,359 Speaker 2: But should one play separate you? Because if he doesn't 464 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,760 Speaker 2: have the sack fumble, they probably kick a field goal 465 00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,919 Speaker 2: and they win that game. So can one play help you? 466 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,119 Speaker 2: Can one play hurt you getting into the Hall of 467 00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 2: Fame camp on? 468 00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 9: Yeah, it shouldn't be that tenuous. It shouldn't be one 469 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 9: play away. It's like you're ignoring everything else. If you 470 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 9: compare regular season stats Matt Ryan to Eli Manning, it's 471 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:44,399 Speaker 9: not that close. 472 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:45,640 Speaker 6: Matt's much better. 473 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,240 Speaker 2: Eli wasn't a good I mean, his numbers are just average. Yeah, 474 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,400 Speaker 2: he was played a long time, but he he didn't 475 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 2: lead the league in any category but interceptions. But he 476 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:57,520 Speaker 2: won two of the biggest games in NFL history. 477 00:21:57,920 --> 00:22:02,880 Speaker 10: Yes, marm if Eli Manning beats Philip Rivers and Ben 478 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,160 Speaker 10: Roethlisberger in his two Super Bowl wins. 479 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 2: Is he a Hall of Famer? Probably? It's New York. 480 00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 2: It's New York name, and you know, two super Bowls 481 00:22:14,280 --> 00:22:18,560 Speaker 2: aside from what Jim Plunkett. Jim Plunkett would be in 482 00:22:18,600 --> 00:22:20,919 Speaker 2: the Football Hall of Fame if I include what he 483 00:22:20,920 --> 00:22:23,560 Speaker 2: did at Stanford winning a Heisman. But he did win 484 00:22:23,560 --> 00:22:25,000 Speaker 2: two super Bowls. Yeah, I seed. 485 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:27,399 Speaker 8: Yeah, it does feel like, yeah, you got one, okay 486 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,680 Speaker 8: in a band, but to get two that's a whole 487 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 8: different thing. 488 00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:37,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's tough, it is, and it's painful for me 489 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 2: to go down a painful road for him because I'm 490 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 2: sure it doesn't want to talk about this, and that's 491 00:22:44,160 --> 00:22:46,639 Speaker 2: why he brought it up. But I do appreciate getting 492 00:22:46,640 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 2: out in front of something and Okay, it happened. It's 493 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 2: you know, it's there the elephants in the room. Go ahead. 494 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,159 Speaker 10: Yeah, Marvin, if you're Matt Ryan, would you rather have 495 00:22:56,320 --> 00:23:00,879 Speaker 10: lost that game twenty eight to ten being up twenty 496 00:23:00,920 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 10: eight three. 497 00:23:03,080 --> 00:23:05,000 Speaker 2: Mid third quarter? Too? It was like twenty eight three 498 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,240 Speaker 2: in the first quarter. Okay, if I'm gonna lose the game, 499 00:23:07,600 --> 00:23:11,360 Speaker 2: do I want to lose it where we really are 500 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:13,360 Speaker 2: not a factor in the game, or do I want 501 00:23:13,359 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: to lose it where we're up twenty eight to three. 502 00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,600 Speaker 2: I probably want to lose twenty eight ten. Yeah, I 503 00:23:20,600 --> 00:23:22,159 Speaker 2: think I just want them. Well, they were just a 504 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,639 Speaker 2: better team that day. Yes, you know, they were just 505 00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,520 Speaker 2: better than us, But the Falcons know they were a 506 00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:32,520 Speaker 2: better team that day. Definitely. And Julio Jones catch, yes, yeah, yep, 507 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:34,639 Speaker 2: that would have been one of the greatest, one of 508 00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:37,400 Speaker 2: the greatest catches in Super Bowl history because they would 509 00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:38,560 Speaker 2: have won the Super Bowl. 510 00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:40,440 Speaker 8: Which is sort of to your point about Matt Ryan 511 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:42,400 Speaker 8: and does that one play keep you out of the 512 00:23:42,680 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 8: Super Bowl? That that catch was great regardless, but it's 513 00:23:46,160 --> 00:23:49,080 Speaker 8: the plays that happened after that catch that diminished that 514 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:50,720 Speaker 8: one's greatness. That's very strange. 515 00:23:50,960 --> 00:23:54,040 Speaker 2: But it's like curse Kurse had that great grab on 516 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:57,879 Speaker 2: the ground. Yeah, and if Russell Wilson, you know, they 517 00:23:57,920 --> 00:24:00,680 Speaker 2: get a touchdown, then you'll remember that play. 518 00:24:00,760 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 8: It's like identical scenarios just about yeah. 519 00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:06,479 Speaker 10: Yeah, going back to Russell Wilson, well, Jalen Hurts had 520 00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:09,199 Speaker 10: that same type of situation where people will kind of 521 00:24:09,640 --> 00:24:11,680 Speaker 10: diminish what he did because he had such a great 522 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:13,640 Speaker 10: defense in a great running game. 523 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 2: Well, he's not a great regular season quarterback. I mean 524 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 2: his numbers are kind of average. Well, I mean Russell Wilson. 525 00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 10: Russell Wilson wasn't setting the world on fire during the 526 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 10: lesion of Boom Era. 527 00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,520 Speaker 2: There's a couple of big years there. I don't know 528 00:24:30,520 --> 00:24:32,760 Speaker 2: if Jalen Hurts is going to have those kind of years. 529 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:35,359 Speaker 2: I don't I don't know if he throws what did 530 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,320 Speaker 2: Russ throw for like thirty five touchdowns a couple of. 531 00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:40,280 Speaker 6: Times once led the league with thirty five touchdowns. 532 00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:42,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I don't think Jalen Hurts is going to 533 00:24:42,359 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 2: do that. But you know, we I value leadership as well. 534 00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:50,480 Speaker 2: If I look back old school that there's a reason 535 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 2: why Bart stars in the Hall of Fame, Uh, you know, 536 00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:58,159 Speaker 2: Bob Greasy, Johnny United is like there is leadership qualities 537 00:24:58,200 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 2: to that, and I think Jalen Hurts as that. But 538 00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:03,760 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not something tangible where if I'm 539 00:25:03,800 --> 00:25:07,080 Speaker 2: voting and I go, yeah, but he was a great leader, 540 00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: Like we throw that out And I don't know if 541 00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: we even know what a leader is. I just know 542 00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 2: he's really good for that team. He's the right quarterback 543 00:25:15,280 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 2: for that team. 544 00:25:15,960 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 10: Yes, Mark, So Jalen Hurts and the Eagles win the 545 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:19,840 Speaker 10: Super Bowl next year. 546 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: He's probably going to be a Hall of Famer. Yeah. 547 00:25:24,119 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 2: Some guys we look at your stants because we have 548 00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:28,440 Speaker 2: to look at your stants. Other guys we look at 549 00:25:28,520 --> 00:25:32,399 Speaker 2: accomplishments instead of just mann he threw for five thousand yards. 550 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,480 Speaker 8: Yes, but it does feel like we're entering an era, 551 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:40,040 Speaker 8: or in an era of quarterback uncertainty where you could 552 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:44,720 Speaker 8: see somebody getting their second and it's still not being 553 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 8: good enough. Well, that person would be Jalen Hurt. That 554 00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:52,720 Speaker 8: person would be Jalen Hurts. Which is unfair, It's very unfair. 555 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 8: But the way that we sort of dissect and judge 556 00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:59,320 Speaker 8: quarterbacks week by week, No, you can be an MVP 557 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:01,480 Speaker 8: one week and then overrated the next, and then a 558 00:26:01,480 --> 00:26:03,440 Speaker 8: Super Bowl champion and then not a Hall of Famer 559 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,000 Speaker 8: and then all within the same breath. 560 00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,760 Speaker 2: But it sounds strange to say Joe Burrow feels more 561 00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: like a Hall of Famer than Jalen Hurts. Does, and 562 00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:15,080 Speaker 2: it's not fair to Jalen Hurts because he's not asked 563 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 2: to throw forty touchdowns. He doesn't have to. But Jalen Hurts, 564 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,560 Speaker 2: you know, even the Super Bowl they lost, he could 565 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:27,000 Speaker 2: have been the MVP. He was that good. He had 566 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 2: the one fumble, so he's played well. And isn't that 567 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:34,679 Speaker 2: the ultimate compliment test question for a quarterback? How do 568 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 2: you play in a big game? 569 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,040 Speaker 9: Yeah, poling, Jalen Hurts could be on the path that 570 00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,919 Speaker 9: Troy Aikman was on. I know it's a little apples 571 00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 9: and oranges, but Troy Aikman his best season was twenty 572 00:26:43,080 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 9: three touchdown passes. He usually had about fifteen a year. 573 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,679 Speaker 9: Troy Aikman has half as many touchdown passes in his 574 00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 9: career as Matt Ryan. 575 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:53,760 Speaker 6: But three rings. It's and with the Cowboys green light. 576 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:58,439 Speaker 2: Well yeah, that trump's everybody when you're winning with the 577 00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 2: Cowboys and the way they were winning. But even then, 578 00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:06,760 Speaker 2: you know they really had to share the spotlight. Now, 579 00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 2: Emmett's you know, the all time leader. You had Mike there, 580 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:13,480 Speaker 2: you had personalities, you had coaches, Jimmy Johnson, you had 581 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:15,879 Speaker 2: an owner, and like Troy just did what he was 582 00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 2: asked to do. I think if you said to Troy, hey, 583 00:27:19,280 --> 00:27:21,919 Speaker 2: you can throw for forty five touchdowns, you're gonna make 584 00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:23,560 Speaker 2: the playoffs, but you're not gonna win a super Bowl, 585 00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:26,280 Speaker 2: or you can throw twenty three, you're gonna take that. 586 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,719 Speaker 2: So I don't know if they they didn't change their 587 00:27:30,760 --> 00:27:34,879 Speaker 2: game plan. Now today's Cowboys with that talent, Emittt's not 588 00:27:34,920 --> 00:27:39,119 Speaker 2: the all time leading rusher, and Troy may have one 589 00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,760 Speaker 2: hundred more touchdown passes because he would have to have 590 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:43,280 Speaker 2: that many. Yeah, Pauling. 591 00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:45,400 Speaker 9: A guy who might be going that direction is Justin 592 00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 9: Herbert from the Chargers. His stats were noticeably down last 593 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:51,479 Speaker 9: year in touchdown and yardage. His quarterback rating was way up. 594 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,639 Speaker 9: They're going to run the ball with Jim Harbaugh and 595 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 9: he may get to a Super Bowl with forty two 596 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:58,359 Speaker 9: hundred yards and twenty five touchdowns, which would be great. 597 00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: I want to bring this up. I mentioned the top 598 00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,400 Speaker 2: of the hour Dean Sanders. He was at the Big 599 00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:07,919 Speaker 2: twelve press conference and he was talking about what college 600 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:09,040 Speaker 2: football needs. 601 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,760 Speaker 11: All you have to do is look at the playoffs 602 00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:13,880 Speaker 11: and see what those teams spent, and you understand Darning 603 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,000 Speaker 11: and White in the playoffs it's kind of hard to 604 00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 11: compete with somebody who's giving twenty five thirty million dollars 605 00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:22,119 Speaker 11: of durn freshman class. We're not complaining because all these 606 00:28:22,119 --> 00:28:23,880 Speaker 11: coaches up here. A coach at bucks off and given 607 00:28:23,920 --> 00:28:26,119 Speaker 11: the right opportunity with the right players and play here 608 00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:29,359 Speaker 11: and there, you'll be there. But it's what's going on 609 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 11: right now don't make sense, and we want to say stuff, 610 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:35,800 Speaker 11: but we're trying to be professional. But you're going to 611 00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:37,960 Speaker 11: see the same teams darned at the end, and with 612 00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,360 Speaker 11: somebody who sneaks up in there. But the team that 613 00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:42,920 Speaker 11: pays the more, pays the most, is gonna be then in. 614 00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 2: Yeah, this is no secret. There is a salary cap, 615 00:28:47,560 --> 00:28:52,000 Speaker 2: but that doesn't stomp you know, collectives or boosters from 616 00:28:52,120 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 2: getting money. It's just going to be under the table. 617 00:28:54,880 --> 00:28:57,520 Speaker 2: It'll be back to the way it was years ago 618 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,360 Speaker 2: when you paid people under the table you got nil. 619 00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:05,880 Speaker 2: But that doesn't matter. You can pay through NI. There's 620 00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 2: way too many windows, way, way way too many windows. 621 00:29:10,080 --> 00:29:13,440 Speaker 2: By the way, this five and eleven five plus eleven. 622 00:29:14,520 --> 00:29:17,160 Speaker 2: What I'm told is that'll be the format in twenty 623 00:29:17,200 --> 00:29:19,800 Speaker 2: twenty six. That's expected to be the format for the 624 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:23,200 Speaker 2: playoffs in college football, where you get the five highest 625 00:29:23,320 --> 00:29:27,240 Speaker 2: rank conference champions, they get an automatic bid. The remaining 626 00:29:27,240 --> 00:29:30,840 Speaker 2: eleven spots would be filled by at large selections chosen 627 00:29:30,880 --> 00:29:34,800 Speaker 2: by the College Football Selection Committee. So it's five plus 628 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:39,440 Speaker 2: eleven Big twelve at ACC they love it. The Big 629 00:29:39,440 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 2: Ten and SEC do not. They would like to propose 630 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:46,120 Speaker 2: a model that would include four automatic qualifiers for the 631 00:29:46,160 --> 00:29:50,360 Speaker 2: Big Ten in four for the SEC, so they would 632 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: get half of the bids in a sixteen team playoff. Now, 633 00:29:55,400 --> 00:29:58,880 Speaker 2: once again talking to my source today, the five plus 634 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,360 Speaker 2: eleven model will win out when the college football playoff 635 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,840 Speaker 2: goes to sixteen teams. Also, the revenue share that's in 636 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 2: place has little chance of succeeding. It's opened the door 637 00:30:09,280 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 2: to excessive payments by collectives and going forward these payments 638 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 2: will be under the table and not reported. So that's 639 00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:19,800 Speaker 2: according to my college football source, probably looking at the 640 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,360 Speaker 2: five plus eleven ACC, Big twelve or all for it, 641 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,240 Speaker 2: whereas the SEC and Big Ten go we would like 642 00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:28,800 Speaker 2: half of the bids for the sixteen team playoff. 643 00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 9: Yeah, Pom Dan, maybe they call it five plus ten 644 00:30:31,440 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 9: plus Notre Dame, because that's how it's going to be 645 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 9: Notre Dame gets nine plus wins, they will put them in. 646 00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 2: Yes, yeah they will, but that it's going to happen. 647 00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:44,000 Speaker 2: I was told that they're probably going to expand morech 648 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 2: Madness as well. I thought we were going to have 649 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:49,440 Speaker 2: something either last week or this week, but that's what 650 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,560 Speaker 2: I was told. I don't know if they're going to 651 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:56,280 Speaker 2: seventy two or seventy six, but I mean, I understand it. 652 00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,160 Speaker 2: This is about money, that's all. Because the teams that 653 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 2: you're adding have no chance of winning the title none. 654 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:08,320 Speaker 2: I give you're the seventy first best team, You're not winning. 655 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: Now you might make a run, make it interesting, but 656 00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:14,840 Speaker 2: this is this is about there's a certain amount of 657 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,040 Speaker 2: teams that can win, and then there's a certain amount 658 00:31:17,080 --> 00:31:19,920 Speaker 2: of teams that can give you a storyline. Because every 659 00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:22,400 Speaker 2: March we have a storyline or two and you go, 660 00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 2: oh my god, they're making a run. Oh that player, 661 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:26,080 Speaker 2: I didn't know he was that good. Then it gets 662 00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:29,040 Speaker 2: down to the Elite eight Final four and then you go, okay, guys, 663 00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,320 Speaker 2: you take over. That's what March Madness has become. So look, 664 00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,840 Speaker 2: if they want to have a bigger I just don't 665 00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 2: like the play in games, you're either in the tournament 666 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 2: or you're not. You know, I think it's kind of hey, 667 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 2: you kind of made it, but you didn't. But if 668 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:46,440 Speaker 2: you win, then you're in. And it's like going to 669 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 2: a party, but you don't get to go inside. You're 670 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,120 Speaker 2: outside and I'll sneak your drinks and then all of 671 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 2: a sudden, you go, hey, we got a spot in here. 672 00:31:55,280 --> 00:31:57,520 Speaker 2: You know Tommy left. You get to go into the 673 00:31:57,520 --> 00:31:58,000 Speaker 2: house party. 674 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 9: Yeah, Paulin the one thing though about the playing game, 675 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:03,320 Speaker 9: it allows them to expand the tournament and not change 676 00:32:03,320 --> 00:32:07,160 Speaker 9: the tournament structure of sixty four. So they'll add playing games, 677 00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:09,800 Speaker 9: the pre tournament games, and then you'll still start the 678 00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,760 Speaker 9: tournament on that Thursday with sixty four teams, and you'll 679 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:16,040 Speaker 9: still have that same bracket look and the same sixteen 680 00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 9: seed one seed. That's what these playing games allows. 681 00:32:18,800 --> 00:32:22,240 Speaker 10: Yeah, Mark, going forward, and I've always hated this, those 682 00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:25,560 Speaker 10: small those sixteen seeds that are playing Alabama A and 683 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:29,680 Speaker 10: M against Corpus Christy A and M playing in Dayton. No, no, no, no, 684 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,920 Speaker 10: those should be for the bubble teams that just got 685 00:32:31,960 --> 00:32:36,160 Speaker 10: in Providence versus you know, Ole miss. Those people should 686 00:32:36,200 --> 00:32:39,520 Speaker 10: be in Dayton not the guys that won their tournament. 687 00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 2: If you win your tournament, you should be so you're 688 00:32:42,840 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: in the bubble teams could be the play in if 689 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 2: you want to, or those first two nights. 690 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:49,840 Speaker 8: Yes see, right, but maybe there is a way where 691 00:32:49,880 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 8: you start it, like even before the season ends, right, 692 00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:56,400 Speaker 8: there's a way that you could do a tournament like 693 00:32:56,400 --> 00:32:58,840 Speaker 8: that where it runs throughout the entire season, the actual 694 00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 8: basketball season, so you're play your conference games or non 695 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 8: conference games, and then the actual tournament too, where if 696 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:10,200 Speaker 8: you won your say your conference last year, you've already 697 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,080 Speaker 8: qualified to be in the tournament this next year. Oh 698 00:33:14,440 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 8: so you sort of likee you win your way in 699 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,959 Speaker 8: by say, the year before, and then that would actually 700 00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:21,800 Speaker 8: help because you know you're already in the tournament. 701 00:33:21,880 --> 00:33:23,080 Speaker 2: That helps you with recruiting. 702 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:25,840 Speaker 8: So like the smaller schools like that, they would be 703 00:33:25,880 --> 00:33:29,160 Speaker 8: able to compete more. Possibly I'm just spitball, I'm just 704 00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 8: throwing this out, but it's you might be able to 705 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:35,200 Speaker 8: recruit better knowing that you're already in the tournament next year. 706 00:33:35,240 --> 00:33:37,719 Speaker 8: That helps you get a better caliber player, and then 707 00:33:37,760 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 8: that helps level the playing field a little bit more 708 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 8: compared to the people that are spending that much money. 709 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're just gonna have the haves in the have nons. 710 00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:47,960 Speaker 2: It's just that's the way life. You know, the same 711 00:33:48,040 --> 00:33:50,960 Speaker 2: schools are going to be spending the same amount, they're 712 00:33:51,000 --> 00:33:54,040 Speaker 2: going to spend more than other. It won't happen until 713 00:33:54,080 --> 00:33:58,280 Speaker 2: everybody has a level playing field with schedules. Certainly with 714 00:33:58,360 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 2: college football, that's where you go. You're gonna play X 715 00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:04,720 Speaker 2: number of teams in your division and then you'll play 716 00:34:04,760 --> 00:34:07,640 Speaker 2: that division. It'll be the NFL model. And until you 717 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:11,080 Speaker 2: get that, everything is subjective. I mean, I don't know 718 00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 2: how good Arizona State or Boise State were. I love 719 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 2: that they got the opportunity. They shouldn't have been an 720 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:21,680 Speaker 2: automatic qualifier. But you know, college football is, it's fluid. 721 00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 2: It's still moving of trying to figure out because everybody 722 00:34:25,719 --> 00:34:28,879 Speaker 2: now realizes the amount of money that's at stake here 723 00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,839 Speaker 2: and how they had their heads in the sand for 724 00:34:31,960 --> 00:34:34,840 Speaker 2: so many years, where hey, it's going to be this 725 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,520 Speaker 2: school and this school for the national title, and then 726 00:34:37,560 --> 00:34:40,000 Speaker 2: it's gonna be no, we're gonna okay, we'll do four 727 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 2: teams and I go. As soon as you guys look 728 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 2: at the bottom line, you're gonna go how many teams 729 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 2: do we want to have here? And now we're going 730 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,359 Speaker 2: to go up to sixteen probably next year.

You know, 746 00:35:35,040 --> 00:35:38,840 Speaker 9: I'm getting more into these days, not Michael Jordan's stories. 747 00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:41,080 Speaker 9: I feel like I've heard them all, Kobe Bryant's stories, 748 00:35:41,600 --> 00:35:44,080 Speaker 9: and now that Kobe's gone, when I hear Kobe Bryant 749 00:35:44,120 --> 00:35:45,759 Speaker 9: stories a lot of them are the same about his 750 00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:49,640 Speaker 9: competitive nature, and Grant said, we were practice number two 751 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 9: a team USA. 752 00:35:50,440 --> 00:35:52,319 Speaker 6: And Kobe's like, let's go. Let's He's like, let's go, 753 00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 6: and it's practice. And I'm fascinated by Kobe Bryant. I 754 00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 6: love the stories, but. 755 00:35:56,320 --> 00:36:00,200 Speaker 2: I don't think you can you can play. Don't you 756 00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,200 Speaker 2: can turn it off or have it on just a 757 00:36:02,200 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 2: little bit. I think the light is either really bright 758 00:36:05,560 --> 00:36:08,839 Speaker 2: or it's off. I was always amazed with Troy Polamalo. 759 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:12,760 Speaker 2: Whenever we have him on. He was the most soft, 760 00:36:13,480 --> 00:36:16,360 Speaker 2: low key person, and then you see him on a 761 00:36:16,400 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 2: football field and he's maniacal. He's all over the place. 762 00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:23,879 Speaker 2: That ability, Like, I envy those people who can turn 763 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,040 Speaker 2: it off. It's the people Michael Jordan can't turn it off. 764 00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,160 Speaker 2: He's that's the way he is on the court. Off 765 00:36:31,160 --> 00:36:33,439 Speaker 2: the court, I mean, he's he's going to be able 766 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,759 Speaker 2: to kind of use that and he's going to kill you. 767 00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 2: He's going to go out now, Lebron. It feels like 768 00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:41,040 Speaker 2: on the court and he's one person. Off the court, 769 00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 2: he's somebody else. And maybe Kobe was like that outside 770 00:36:44,600 --> 00:36:48,000 Speaker 2: of basketball. You know your father, you've got daughters, you 771 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:51,279 Speaker 2: know you can't be that competitive guy, but you're just 772 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:54,320 Speaker 2: around certain people like Grant Hill could not be nicer. 773 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 2: But then he was saying, you know, don't don't mistake 774 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 2: niceness for weakness, and I thought it was a great line. 775 00:37:00,360 --> 00:37:04,839 Speaker 2: Your favorite moment, Marvin, You know what, just seeing Grant Hill. 776 00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,759 Speaker 10: Grant Hill has one of those interesting careers where he's 777 00:37:07,800 --> 00:37:09,839 Speaker 10: a Hall of Famer, but there's still a what if 778 00:37:09,920 --> 00:37:14,240 Speaker 10: quality because even after the show or after his segment, 779 00:37:14,680 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 10: we talked about what he was the first maybe five 780 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 10: or six years in Detroit where he was a top 781 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:23,520 Speaker 10: five player in the league. And I don't know, people 782 00:37:23,520 --> 00:37:25,000 Speaker 10: are going to kill me for this.
