It was like real, real bad. 32 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 5: But but I bet him something, right, It was like 33 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,160 Speaker 5: a playoff, remember, because he was like flabbergasted at whatever 34 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:50,400 Speaker 5: you were saying, right, And I was. 35 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 4: Like, yeah, well we could bet something or whatever. 36 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: I know there was something there, right, it was during 37 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:58,800 Speaker 3: the NFL season or something. So yeah, we got that 38 00:01:58,920 --> 00:02:02,720 Speaker 3: a lot to get to again in this hour Luca 39 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 3: and the Lakers. They win again and Luca continues to 40 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 3: play well. 41 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:08,679 Speaker 4: Rob G. 42 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,600 Speaker 6: I mean that's an understatement. Rob playing well. It does 43 00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,920 Speaker 6: not do justice what Luka Doncic is doing well. He's 44 00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:17,399 Speaker 6: playing phenomenally right now. 45 00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:19,960 Speaker 4: I'm not using that adject too. Okay. 46 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:21,880 Speaker 6: So, as a team, after their win last night blowout 47 00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:25,080 Speaker 6: went over the Cavs, Lakers go fifteen and two in 48 00:02:25,120 --> 00:02:28,200 Speaker 6: the month of March. They're winning this month as a franchise. 49 00:02:28,639 --> 00:02:31,320 Speaker 6: Since two thousand and they've had some great teams since 50 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 6: two thousand. All right, now, Luka Doncic last night scored 51 00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:39,760 Speaker 6: his six hundredth point in the month of March. In 52 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,840 Speaker 6: the process, he joined one of only ten players to 53 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 6: do so. All right, that's what he's doing right more recently, 54 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:50,760 Speaker 6: even more recently than that, Over his last thirteen games, 55 00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 6: check this out, rob Luka Doncic is averaging forty eight 56 00:02:55,760 --> 00:03:01,120 Speaker 6: and seven. Forty points, eight rebound, seven is just the 57 00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,760 Speaker 6: game over thirteen game stretch. By the way, the Lakers 58 00:03:03,760 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 6: are twelve and one of that stretch. So of course, 59 00:03:05,760 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 6: the big conversation is, while Luca is playing so good, 60 00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,760 Speaker 6: he's got to at least be, you know, top one, 61 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,080 Speaker 6: top two in the MVP race. But if you hear 62 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,880 Speaker 6: him talk about it, he doesn't seem all that confident. 63 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,640 Speaker 4: That the award is his to lose. 64 00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 7: They listen, Obviously, you're getting a lot of MVP momentum 65 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 7: right now, another forty point games only. Adding to that, 66 00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:30,919 Speaker 7: Wembee obviously recently stated his case for why he should win. 67 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 7: Is that something you're interested in doing as well? And 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 7: if so, what would your points be? 69 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,720 Speaker 8: I mean, I never did that, so I'm not gonna 70 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 8: I'm not the one voting, so you know, but I 71 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 8: think I've been playing pretty good. 72 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 4: We've been winning, so that's it. That's all I gotta say. 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,480 Speaker 4: I could I give Can we have applause for Luca? Please? 74 00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:53,920 Speaker 4: Can we have applause for Luca? 75 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,120 Speaker 3: That's your problem because what he said is what real 76 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:04,920 Speaker 3: players say. 77 00:04:05,040 --> 00:04:08,000 Speaker 4: Oh that don't don't worry about that. I don't have 78 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:10,160 Speaker 4: a vote. That that's all. 79 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 3: It's not that he's he understands playing well, whatever, but 80 00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: that's the answer when they ask him. I don't have 81 00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:19,560 Speaker 3: a vote. I'm just I'm we're winning. I'm happy with 82 00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,080 Speaker 3: how I've been playing, playing pretty good. But he's not 83 00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:25,400 Speaker 3: gonna politic for it. You don't have to. Your numbers 84 00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 3: speak for solf. So I'm I'm happy that that's where 85 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,880 Speaker 3: Luca is, where his head is. 86 00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:31,400 Speaker 4: A player doesn't do that. You don't have to. 87 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,599 Speaker 5: I don't want everybody being like that, Rob, I get 88 00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:35,119 Speaker 5: your point. 89 00:04:35,160 --> 00:04:37,719 Speaker 4: I want I want a mixture. I want to I 90 00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:38,839 Speaker 4: don't want people. I want to. 91 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:40,960 Speaker 5: I want s c A. I don't want to talk 92 00:04:40,960 --> 00:04:42,600 Speaker 5: about that. I want win, but yo, I deserve it, 93 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:44,360 Speaker 5: they can give it to me. I want this person. 94 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:47,159 Speaker 5: I want and Edwards some baddest mother love. 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 4: In the game. I want it all have some humility. 96 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:52,440 Speaker 4: I want that. I wanted to do that. I want 97 00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 4: some people to have that as well. 98 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,559 Speaker 5: What Lucas doing well while he's being humble, his game 99 00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 5: is not being humble. Uh is what he's doing on 100 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,159 Speaker 5: the court is absolutely ridiculous right now. And just to 101 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:06,200 Speaker 5: add to it too that it's not just what makes 102 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:08,760 Speaker 5: this wreck amazing. Rob G was talking about this earlier, 103 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:10,560 Speaker 5: told him, I said, remember when Kobe went on that 104 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:13,760 Speaker 5: stretch of like nine ten games straight of forty or whatever, 105 00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:15,839 Speaker 5: and then the Lakers weren't a great team, so we 106 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 5: saw what he had to do to carry them and 107 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 5: he was just going crazy with the points. 108 00:05:19,480 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 4: He went on the tear. 109 00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 5: A lot of people thought he, you know, should have 110 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,160 Speaker 5: been MVP that year instead of Steve Nash. What makes 111 00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 5: this interesting is he didn't a vote again, Lucas heard 112 00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:30,719 Speaker 5: the vote for himself. Lucas doing this on a team 113 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,320 Speaker 5: that is surprising. ESPN had them not even making the playoffs. 114 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:36,240 Speaker 5: I had him at like fifth ish coming in that 115 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 5: thought they'd be about fifth. I thought they'd be good, 116 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,920 Speaker 5: but the West is lower. For thought that they were 117 00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 5: not in the playoffs. That's what ESPN had winn thirty 118 00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 5: was a thirty seven games thirty six games win probability. 119 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,680 Speaker 4: That's just crazy. So I'm not even gonna act like 120 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 4: that was oh, like that was the norm. That was 121 00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 4: absolutely crazy. 122 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:55,120 Speaker 3: I'm surprised because just Lucas, because only ten teams don't 123 00:05:55,160 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 3: make the playoffs, like really. 124 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,359 Speaker 8: The like that. 125 00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,719 Speaker 4: Yeah, that was absolutely crazy. 126 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 5: But so a couple of things with what Luca's doing 127 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,440 Speaker 5: right now on MVP level. First of all, the best 128 00:06:06,440 --> 00:06:09,280 Speaker 5: thing about it is he's not doing it in losing efforts. 129 00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:12,320 Speaker 5: Right they're seventeen and five since the All Star break. 130 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:15,600 Speaker 5: They're fifteen and two in the month of March, and 131 00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:19,200 Speaker 5: you're talking about averaging forty for that stretch that they've 132 00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:21,920 Speaker 5: been thirteen games where they're twelve and one. So not 133 00:06:21,960 --> 00:06:24,800 Speaker 5: only is he just performing well, Luca's putting them numbers. 134 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,719 Speaker 5: They're winning, they're winning, and they're winning at a high clip. 135 00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 5: And right now I got them sitting third in the West, 136 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 5: which most people didn't have the Lakers coming out like that, 137 00:06:32,080 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 5: so I think that would bowl well for him. But 138 00:06:34,279 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 5: what I think is also happening Rob is that people 139 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,960 Speaker 5: are looking at the Lakers, and maybe not so much 140 00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,479 Speaker 5: the last few days haldful of maybe a week or so, 141 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 5: but the last month, month and a half where he's 142 00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 5: been playing great and they're going. 143 00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,880 Speaker 4: Well, the Lakers ain't winning the championship. 144 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,919 Speaker 5: They're not real contingent, so it doesn't matter SGA's r MVP, 145 00:06:50,279 --> 00:06:53,240 Speaker 5: or maybe Jokers your MVP, or maybe of of course 146 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:56,559 Speaker 5: Weinby's your MVP. And I think that right there isn't 147 00:06:56,560 --> 00:07:00,960 Speaker 5: fair when you look at historically speaking, you'llkich one back 148 00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:03,480 Speaker 5: in twenty one twenty two season, his team was forty 149 00:07:03,480 --> 00:07:05,800 Speaker 5: eight and thirty four, and he was one of the 150 00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:08,960 Speaker 5: first and only few to win the MVP, winning fewer 151 00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 5: than fifty games. We know Russell Wellsbrook won, he did 152 00:07:11,560 --> 00:07:13,960 Speaker 5: something historic. They were a sixth seed. Michael Jordan won 153 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,720 Speaker 5: at eighty seven eighty eight as a seven seeds. My 154 00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:19,720 Speaker 5: point is, I think lucas some of his folks who 155 00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 5: are kind of taken away from him, is that they're 156 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 5: looking at the Lakers as a greater hole and saying, well, yeah, 157 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:25,520 Speaker 5: but they're not gonna win. 158 00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:26,560 Speaker 4: The championship, so he can't. 159 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,320 Speaker 5: He's not the MVP, and and everybody obviously winby deserves something. 160 00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:32,440 Speaker 4: Who is doing that? 161 00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:34,600 Speaker 3: Do you think the basketball writers can really look at 162 00:07:34,640 --> 00:07:36,840 Speaker 3: his numbers and then just use that that thing. 163 00:07:36,920 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 5: I think subconsciously they're just looking at them. And they 164 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 5: looked at that stretch where the Lakers had a little 165 00:07:41,720 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 5: of a few weeks where they were just kind of 166 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,760 Speaker 5: and guys were injured, reesels out, Lebron's out, then reasons 167 00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:46,600 Speaker 5: back what Lebron was in. 168 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:47,800 Speaker 4: I don't think. I don't think. 169 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 3: I think they look at his full body of work, 170 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,280 Speaker 3: which was pretty bad at stretches as well where they 171 00:07:54,280 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 3: didn't think that he was when the team was flound 172 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,520 Speaker 3: and he didn't play well, he was that. 173 00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:00,760 Speaker 5: But see that's not about it was not about whether 174 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,239 Speaker 5: it's saying the first third. 175 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 4: Remember he was insane. 176 00:08:03,760 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 5: He was putting up like what he's doing now he 177 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,960 Speaker 5: was doing at the beginning, and then he had it. 178 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,040 Speaker 5: Like I said, there was that little period where they 179 00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,800 Speaker 5: weren't playing the best. They were kind of flying, they 180 00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 5: weren't bad, but they just weren't great. Everybody was out, 181 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 5: people were injured, and obviously they aren't playing together. And 182 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,160 Speaker 5: that's what we were saying. We haven't seen the core 183 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 5: of three play together. And since they've been playing together, 184 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 5: they've been insane. They've been on this run. They've been 185 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,440 Speaker 5: seventeen and five since All Star Break fifteen and two. 186 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 5: And he's putting up forty like it's nothing. And also, 187 00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:31,000 Speaker 5: you know one of my favorite phrases being a victim 188 00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 5: of his own success, where he puts up forty so 189 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 5: often you take it for granted. You're like, oh, yeah, 190 00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:38,000 Speaker 5: you have forty ten and ten and now or whatever. 191 00:08:38,280 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 4: That's insane. 192 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,040 Speaker 3: I just think that there are the players who have 193 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 3: played SGA. What is he not done right? His team 194 00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 3: is once again at the top. They won a championship. 195 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:51,040 Speaker 3: You come back with that cash, and unless you really 196 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 3: crash out, there's no reason to look at him and 197 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,640 Speaker 3: not think that Luca, they them not at the top 198 00:08:55,720 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 3: of the West, right, They're not at the top, shay. 199 00:08:59,360 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 4: Is, would you argue they've overachieved the Lakers. Yeah, they're 200 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 4: better than expecting. 201 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 3: I'll say that, But I just don't think that it's 202 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,520 Speaker 3: automatic that you're going to discount like you're just saying 203 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,720 Speaker 3: that that's the because the people don't think they're gonna 204 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 3: winn a championship is the reason I think people saw 205 00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 3: a lot of bad juju from Luca as well. 206 00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:20,560 Speaker 4: And I think that's when they turned on him because 207 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,520 Speaker 4: the start was great. Was the start. 208 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,560 Speaker 3: The start was great, and people still weren't that, you know, 209 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 3: going on in the very very beginning. Yes, oh wow, 210 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 3: he's look at him, he's in shape. You remember before 211 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 3: all that. Oh look he's in shape. He's really serious. 212 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,280 Speaker 3: He played well, and then there was that stretch go 213 00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 3: back and look, people are making. 214 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:39,199 Speaker 4: Fun of him. 215 00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:41,480 Speaker 3: How fat he looked, you know what I mean, and 216 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,600 Speaker 3: all that, and they weren't winning. So he's putting up 217 00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 3: numbers then and people are like, okay, but they don't win. 218 00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 5: But that's the thing though. They're at a crazy clip 219 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:53,560 Speaker 5: right now. And and if any time was it's like 220 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:57,720 Speaker 5: a Heisman race. Yes this person, this person, Yes, this person, 221 00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,760 Speaker 5: this person. But that last month, you start going crazy, 222 00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,040 Speaker 5: you start making Heisman plays. You might beat the teams, 223 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:05,520 Speaker 5: you know, because a lot of times you play your 224 00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 5: rival and your conference. Towards the end of the season. 225 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:11,319 Speaker 5: You have a great game if you're at Georgia against Alabama, 226 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 5: or you're Michigan vs. Ohio State, and that quarterback, that 227 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 5: running back whoever had a crazy game. That's uosually when 228 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,320 Speaker 5: things start to bow well for you. And it is 229 00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:19,920 Speaker 5: going to be interesting as we get down the stretch 230 00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:21,840 Speaker 5: here last what five six to seven games depending on 231 00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:25,400 Speaker 5: the team, what happens with Luca, because again I think 232 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:27,840 Speaker 5: no one had them being this good. I don't think 233 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,760 Speaker 5: any Most people thought it'd be like ESPN not making 234 00:10:29,800 --> 00:10:30,280 Speaker 5: the playoffs. 235 00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 4: That was kind of crazy. 236 00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,400 Speaker 5: But when you look at where they are right now, 237 00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 5: third in the West, nobody's I don't. Well, the Spurs 238 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 5: still have a chance if something crazy happen. They're only 239 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,440 Speaker 5: two and a half back from the Thunder. But the 240 00:10:42,520 --> 00:10:45,280 Speaker 5: Lakers being at fifty to twenty six, you know, they 241 00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 5: got a couple game lead on the Nuggets. They got 242 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 5: four three and a half to be specific against the 243 00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:53,839 Speaker 5: timber Was you know, even the Rockets, some teams that. 244 00:10:53,800 --> 00:10:55,400 Speaker 4: People thought would be better than them. 245 00:10:55,880 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 5: You know, they've been able to have better records, have 246 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 5: been playing great basketball, ninety one in twelve and one 247 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:04,520 Speaker 5: last thirteen. So Luca has been carrying them. And the 248 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 5: best part is for them most importantly, even more than 249 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 5: Lucas scoring, defensively, they look like they got some fight. 250 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 4: There aren't the four pistons. They ain't the bad boys, 251 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 4: they ain't the Knicks. 252 00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:18,040 Speaker 5: But day get there fighting, because that was the concern 253 00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 5: you and I would even see her like, man, they 254 00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:21,600 Speaker 5: just they got to beat you one thirty two to 255 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 5: one twenty seven, and finally they got some some fight 256 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:26,960 Speaker 5: in them, they got some competitive edge. I give Marcus 257 00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 5: Smart a lot of credit. He was playing great. He's 258 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,000 Speaker 5: been in and out a little bit the last week 259 00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:35,000 Speaker 5: or so. But but I just think subconsciously to your point, 260 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:36,679 Speaker 5: there was that period where people are like, oh, yeah, 261 00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,920 Speaker 5: they're not gonna win a super Bow, now a championship. 262 00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:39,719 Speaker 4: They don't look that great. 263 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 5: And you kind of just dismissed him when he was 264 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 5: a preseason pick. 265 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,480 Speaker 3: You know, to kind of but when people watched him 266 00:11:46,480 --> 00:11:49,200 Speaker 3: for a stretch, and it was that during that time 267 00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 3: that he fell in the pack because they he had 268 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:55,520 Speaker 3: the numbers. The numbers were there, it was all the 269 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 3: other stuff people were watching and they were like, Okay, yeah, 270 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:02,319 Speaker 3: he's scoring, not winning. You got forty last night. Did 271 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 3: the Lakers win? That would be the question, not oh 272 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 3: it's Lucas scored forty. They won again? No, it was 273 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 3: like did they win? 274 00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,200 Speaker 5: Yeah, But that but I think that was such a 275 00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 5: small minute portion of the season that I think it's 276 00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 5: being a little overblown. I don't you get what I'm saying, Like, 277 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,880 Speaker 5: you can't win fifty games and that have been a 278 00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,680 Speaker 5: long crazy Yes you can because they all because what's 279 00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,880 Speaker 5: the record? They're fifty and twenty six. 280 00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 3: Okay, so at one point they were thirty five and 281 00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:30,000 Speaker 3: twenty How many you said fifteen? 282 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:30,640 Speaker 4: Right? 283 00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 5: Thirty five and seventeen and five in their last twenty two? 284 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:37,040 Speaker 5: Too much math, right now? I came out earlier. 285 00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,839 Speaker 3: They were only nine or ten games over five hundred 286 00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,920 Speaker 3: before this run, so that it was a dramatic change 287 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: at that time. Being nine or ten games over five 288 00:12:45,320 --> 00:12:46,360 Speaker 3: hundred isn't that impressive? 289 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:48,200 Speaker 5: It'll be interesting, you see what I'm saying, Like, I 290 00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,679 Speaker 5: get you there. So it was that seventy six, they 291 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:52,280 Speaker 5: got what six more games? 292 00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,400 Speaker 4: So if they go and six and they last six, 293 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: will happened? I missed you. 294 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,000 Speaker 5: You had hit me with an extreme in a minute, 295 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 5: you're saying, oh and six did Luca did he break 296 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 5: his ankle? 297 00:13:02,640 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 4: Were six? 298 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:05,959 Speaker 3: And he shot twenty five percent from the field in 299 00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:09,160 Speaker 3: those six k and he averaged eleven points exactly, and and. 300 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 5: Lebron was out and uster. Now Austin Reeves ain't been 301 00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:15,440 Speaker 5: early season Austin reason lately. But I think part of 302 00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,520 Speaker 5: that is just Luca already given you thirty, now giving 303 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:18,920 Speaker 5: you forty. 304 00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:20,240 Speaker 4: It's gonna take away from somebody. 305 00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:23,880 Speaker 5: Uh, But he's been incredible man, and everybody keeps wondering, 306 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 5: like when is his MVP season?

He looks like 379 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 6: he's labor like, lumbering up the court. But if you 380 00:16:50,360 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 6: watch the end of games, he's not breathing heavy like 381 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,200 Speaker 6: Lebron and Ad.

There's a lot of a lot 502 00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 12: of stuff in the news about my old team, the 503 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:05,639 Speaker 12: team that drafted me, the Philadelphia Eagles. Obviously, you know 504 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 12: some Bears talk. Just got off my show on the 505 00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 12: Chicago Sports Network talking Bears, So I'm ready to get 506 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 12: to a boy. 507 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:12,760 Speaker 4: Well, then let's start there. 508 00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:14,720 Speaker 5: Rob and I talked about it in our first hour, 509 00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:20,439 Speaker 5: big huge expose A Jeremy Fowler puts out basically a 510 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:23,640 Speaker 5: lot of sources there saying that Jalen Hurts are saying 511 00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,160 Speaker 5: that he doesn't like to come. He like he wants 512 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:27,760 Speaker 5: to be in shotgun all the time. He won't throw 513 00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:30,680 Speaker 5: across the middle. It's hard to read with his teammates, 514 00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:31,639 Speaker 5: so on and so forth. 515 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 3: Other than that, he wins a lot and Super Bowl 516 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 3: if he outplayed Patrick Mahomes in two Super Bowls. Everybody 517 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,000 Speaker 3: told us that if you stop sa Kwan, you'll beat 518 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,399 Speaker 3: the Eagles in the Super Bowl. And guess what, Jalen. 519 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,159 Speaker 3: They stopped sa Quan and Jalen Hurts was the MVP. 520 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:51,680 Speaker 3: He's had six offensive coordinators. You notice the offensive line 521 00:22:51,760 --> 00:22:53,640 Speaker 3: last year won the same as it had been. 522 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 4: There's so many different things, and yet all they do 523 00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 4: is pick at Jalen Hurts. I think it is ridiculous. 524 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:00,960 Speaker 12: Yeah, I think it's There's a lot of blame to 525 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 12: go around. But here's the first thing. The first thing 526 00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:05,880 Speaker 12: that comes to mind when I think of this is 527 00:23:06,440 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 12: where's this coming from. This is from inside the building. 528 00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 12: This isn't from some outside be reporter. This is from coaches. 529 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 12: This has to be from scouts, from the front office. 530 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 12: The level of information of these conversations and stuff that 531 00:23:21,359 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 12: should be kept in house, and this is them sending 532 00:23:24,080 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 12: a message to Jalen Hurts. 533 00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:30,120 Speaker 3: Is it somebody looking for excuses on why certain things 534 00:23:30,119 --> 00:23:33,679 Speaker 3: aren't going because people could have an ulterior motive as well. 535 00:23:34,040 --> 00:23:36,760 Speaker 3: It ain't me, it's him, you know what, I mean, 536 00:23:36,840 --> 00:23:39,080 Speaker 3: to cover their ass. You know that, and coaches do 537 00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:39,760 Speaker 3: that as well. 538 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, it could be Kevin Patullo either they 539 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:46,560 Speaker 12: want to talk to him about what went wrong last year. 540 00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 12: You obviously have the fourth verse thing the San Francisco 541 00:23:50,359 --> 00:23:53,200 Speaker 12: ended their season, say ran just all go two plays 542 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 12: in a row and sent them home, sent them to Cancun. 543 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,800 Speaker 12: And then they say that's what Jaialen wanted to run. Okay, 544 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 12: that's something that's interesting. But to me, the biggest story 545 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 12: is where is it coming from. It feels like that 546 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,920 Speaker 12: is someone really close to everybody in Philly, because they're 547 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:13,360 Speaker 12: getting how aj was feeling, how Jalen was feeling. They're 548 00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,800 Speaker 12: getting the inner workings of that team, and that's something 549 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,640 Speaker 12: that's got coming from somewhere very far away from that building. 550 00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:23,400 Speaker 5: What is the issue why their offense struggled last year? 551 00:24:23,440 --> 00:24:25,600 Speaker 5: I mean, we're not told we were talking about earlier. 552 00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,359 Speaker 5: I said, man, it was weird. I said it all season. 553 00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,560 Speaker 5: On paper, you should have one two top one two 554 00:24:30,600 --> 00:24:34,160 Speaker 5: three tandems where our receiver Saquan a year before goes 555 00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,360 Speaker 5: crazy could have set an all time record. I mean, 556 00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 5: on paper, it looked like this should be another season 557 00:24:39,359 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 5: of offensive prowess and it wasn't. 558 00:24:41,280 --> 00:24:43,399 Speaker 4: What would you do? What would you want to see change? 559 00:24:44,800 --> 00:24:44,960 Speaker 8: Well? 560 00:24:45,000 --> 00:24:48,440 Speaker 12: First off, Saquon Barkley had seventeen runs of twenty plus 561 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,560 Speaker 12: yards in twenty twenty four. The next season he has three. Okay, 562 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,320 Speaker 12: if you're not threatening in the run game where you 563 00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,159 Speaker 12: have to get that safety down in the box and 564 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,760 Speaker 12: you create a lot of Manda Man situations, something the 565 00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 12: Well really depicted very well as Jalen Hurts has a 566 00:25:03,240 --> 00:25:06,760 Speaker 12: ton of success against Manda Man. Okay, and they were 567 00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:11,199 Speaker 12: playing him significantly higher rate of zone coverage and against 568 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:13,639 Speaker 12: zone that's where AJ disappears. They say in the article. 569 00:25:14,240 --> 00:25:19,160 Speaker 12: AJ had eleven point seven yards down from fourteen point one, 570 00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 12: yard per catch last year, yard per target seven point 571 00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:26,399 Speaker 12: three down from nine point one, and that's because it 572 00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 12: was going against zone coverage. And that's something he only 573 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 12: caught two of his seven touchdowns against zone. Jalen Hurts 574 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 12: isn't great against zone. 575 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:35,399 Speaker 4: He wants to. 576 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 12: Play Manda Man and when you're running game, isn't making 577 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,360 Speaker 12: the safeties get in the box and you can keep 578 00:25:40,359 --> 00:25:43,399 Speaker 12: those safeties back play some soft zone. That's not what 579 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,879 Speaker 12: Jalen Hurts is good at. So there's some blame to 580 00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 12: go around. This was the lowest rushing total of Jalen 581 00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,240 Speaker 12: Hurts's career. I think, yes, you want to make sure 582 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 12: that your quarterback is healthy, but when part of his 583 00:25:56,359 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 12: identity is running the ball, if you're gonna want shotgun runs, 584 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,399 Speaker 12: you guys know this. Your quarterback has to be a threat. 585 00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:05,720 Speaker 12: If your quarterback is only getting four hundred yards on 586 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:09,120 Speaker 12: the season, these teams aren't going to respect that. If 587 00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,920 Speaker 12: your quarterback is not a threat, you got to line 588 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,080 Speaker 12: up under center, get a line up and pistol. You 589 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,720 Speaker 12: gotta let them get momentum, or running back get momentum, 590 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 12: have a little bit more time to pick his whole 591 00:26:18,440 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 12: or you're completely misusing these formations if you're not if 592 00:26:24,320 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 12: your quarterback isn't running, shotgun runs aren't good. If your 593 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:31,000 Speaker 12: quarterback is not running, you need to run under center. 594 00:26:31,200 --> 00:26:33,159 Speaker 12: Jalen Hurts doesn't need to run under center. And what 595 00:26:33,240 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 12: Jalen Hurts said in the article was we went into 596 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 12: the season saying we're going to be a shotgun run team. 597 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:39,879 Speaker 12: So maybe I don't like turning my back to the defense. 598 00:26:39,960 --> 00:26:43,399 Speaker 12: I want to see the defense the whole time. Maybe 599 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,439 Speaker 12: this year they go in and say, in OTA's obviously 600 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:49,440 Speaker 12: you got Sean mannon coming in Sean McVeigh tree, ton 601 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,280 Speaker 12: of motions, you got under center stuff, you got play actions. 602 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 12: Give them the offseason to work on this, because we 603 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,320 Speaker 12: know Jalen Hurts is a diligent worker and that's not 604 00:26:57,359 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 12: something you have to worry about. It's not because he's 605 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:01,719 Speaker 12: not working his tail off. He is. Trust me, I've 606 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:04,200 Speaker 12: Ben to Philly a lot's hardest worker in the room. 607 00:27:04,560 --> 00:27:06,639 Speaker 12: But give him what he's going to be working on. 608 00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:10,399 Speaker 12: Give him his homework before the quizz. Let him know 609 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,159 Speaker 12: what he needs to do and be good at, and 610 00:27:12,200 --> 00:27:13,399 Speaker 12: I think he will be better at that. 611 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:16,639 Speaker 4: He is. Clay Harper former NFL tight end. 612 00:27:16,720 --> 00:27:19,639 Speaker 5: NFL analysts on with the I couple Robin Kelvin on 613 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 5: a worship Wednesday, and we did. 614 00:27:22,359 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 3: See what do we see from the Bears and the 615 00:27:27,080 --> 00:27:29,680 Speaker 3: idea that they obviously want to improve on their offense. 616 00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 3: They won a lot of big games. Ben Johnson talked 617 00:27:32,200 --> 00:27:36,439 Speaker 3: about that, and you know, the hard thing, because I 618 00:27:36,480 --> 00:27:40,080 Speaker 3: think that you can clean up stuff Clay offensively, the 619 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,560 Speaker 3: hard thing is making throws and winning games at the end, 620 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:46,560 Speaker 3: you know what I mean, Like like you can't teach that, 621 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:50,120 Speaker 3: Like that's the part you can't teach what Ben Johnson 622 00:27:50,119 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 3: could do, I think is make Caleb better going forward, 623 00:27:54,359 --> 00:27:56,119 Speaker 3: you know what I mean earlier in the games. But 624 00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 3: everybody can't make those throws and win games like that. 625 00:27:59,320 --> 00:28:01,320 Speaker 3: Will you agree with that? Like everybody can't. 626 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 12: No, everybody doesn't have that DNA to where the fourth 627 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 12: quarter comes. Here's an interesting stat for you guys. In 628 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,439 Speaker 12: the Bears second half the season, the final nine games, 629 00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:16,520 Speaker 12: they had more yards in the fourth quarter combined than 630 00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:20,239 Speaker 12: the previous three. In the first three quarters, they had 631 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 12: more points. And so that's telling you something. Why is 632 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:26,000 Speaker 12: this a fourth quarter team? What Ben Johnson has been 633 00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:29,680 Speaker 12: saying is he wanted Caleb at seventy percent completion percentage 634 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 12: before the season. What he had Jared goffek Caleble's at 635 00:28:32,080 --> 00:28:34,399 Speaker 12: fifty eight. He was thirty seven out of thirty eight 636 00:28:34,480 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 12: qualified quarterbacks complete in the football. Obviously, touchdowns were good, 637 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:41,240 Speaker 12: he was good in passing yards, but the completion percentage. 638 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:44,080 Speaker 12: At the owners meeting, that was something that Ben Johnson 639 00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,000 Speaker 12: said we have to improve on. He goes, we at 640 00:28:46,080 --> 00:28:48,520 Speaker 12: least got to get to sixty five, and to us, 641 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:51,360 Speaker 12: that's only forty more completions. I think there's eighty to 642 00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,160 Speaker 12: one hundred out there. We get to seventy. But if 643 00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,440 Speaker 12: we get to sixty five, that's forty more completions. So 644 00:28:56,640 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 12: Caleb's got to get better at the singles. He's good 645 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,600 Speaker 12: at the doubles, the triples, the home runs, but he 646 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 12: does got to get better in the day to day. 647 00:29:05,320 --> 00:29:07,760 Speaker 12: Ben Johnson offense. I think Ben has a plan. I 648 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:10,680 Speaker 12: know DJ Moore is gone. Some people are thinking maybe 649 00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:13,280 Speaker 12: they're putting too much on these young guys early Luther Burton, 650 00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 12: Colson Lovelin. I disagree. If you watch the second half 651 00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,760 Speaker 12: of the Bear season, these guys came on strong, and 652 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:20,320 Speaker 12: if you have them, if you have a fantasy if 653 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 12: you played fantasy draft, these guys early, they're going to 654 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 12: have a breakout. Yere. Ben's already talking about getting both 655 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:27,120 Speaker 12: of them the ball in space and how they're going 656 00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 12: to be big players in this offense. 657 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:30,440 Speaker 4: You know, it's crazy. 658 00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,600 Speaker 5: Caleb had a really good year last year, especially you 659 00:29:33,640 --> 00:29:36,320 Speaker 5: know on the kind of the magical plays, the Caleb magic. 660 00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:39,600 Speaker 5: But what's weirdness, Why can't they ever have a four 661 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:42,240 Speaker 5: thousand yard passer, including last year. 662 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,160 Speaker 4: You know, it's like an ongoing joke, like. 663 00:29:44,120 --> 00:29:45,640 Speaker 5: They've never had a fourth die And I'm like, well, 664 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 5: it's got to be Caleb this year, right, And they 665 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:50,160 Speaker 5: had an extra game, seventeen game. I'm like, then you realize, hey, 666 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:51,760 Speaker 5: he didn't even do. What the heck is that? 667 00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,880 Speaker 12: I mean, they were only a few yards short? But 668 00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:58,480 Speaker 12: I think what you got to look at? And I'm 669 00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 12: a glass half full Bears guy here. They went from 670 00:30:01,200 --> 00:30:03,840 Speaker 12: two hundred and eighty yards per game in twenty twenty four. 671 00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:08,160 Speaker 12: Obviously we had Maddi Eberfus as our coach there. Yeah, 672 00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,560 Speaker 12: it's not good, but then they went last year to 673 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,280 Speaker 12: the sixth rink three hundred and seventy yards per game, 674 00:30:13,640 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 12: top six ranked offense. So this year and you guys 675 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,760 Speaker 12: know this, when you come into an off season and 676 00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 12: you don't have to learn a system, learn a playbook. 677 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,000 Speaker 12: I've done this several times. Unfortunately, I have a lot 678 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,200 Speaker 12: of frequent flyer miles because I got sent off to 679 00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 12: a bunch of different teams, had to learn a playbook fast. 680 00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 12: And when you're in on a team coming into an 681 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 12: offseason and you already have that base set, and now 682 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,760 Speaker 12: instead of figuring out what you're gonna run, you're focusing 683 00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,120 Speaker 12: on how am I going to impact the defense? What 684 00:30:42,160 --> 00:30:43,720 Speaker 12: am I gonna do with my eyes on this play. 685 00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:46,480 Speaker 12: The offense becomes second nature, and now you just get 686 00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,880 Speaker 12: to let everything go. You know where your checkdowns are, 687 00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 12: you know where your deep shot is. You know when 688 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:52,840 Speaker 12: you see that cover two versus the quarters where you 689 00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:55,239 Speaker 12: should go with the ball. I think Caleb will get 690 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:58,000 Speaker 12: better just because it's the second year in the offense. 691 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,320 Speaker 12: He's not going to get worse. Ben Johnson is gonna 692 00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 12: let that happen. They might have lost DJ, like I said, 693 00:31:03,160 --> 00:31:05,280 Speaker 12: but I still think there's enough weapons on this offense 694 00:31:05,280 --> 00:31:06,320 Speaker 12: to get the job done. 695 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 4: All right, there we have it, Hey, Clay, appreciate you 696 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:08,960 Speaker 4: as always. 697 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:09,080 Speaker 3: Man. 698 00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,160 Speaker 4: We'll do it again soon, oldell, thank you, Clay. 699 00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:13,000 Speaker 12: Yeah, my pleasure, fellas. 700 00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:14,719 Speaker 5: No doubt, Clay Harves eighty two.
