Speaker 3: Bucky, how are you?

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 4: I'm great, man. I can't complain that life is good.

12
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 4: How you doing? Andy?

13
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: Well?

14
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:34,400
Speaker 2: You took about Wildcard Day? It was pretty wild, it

15
00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 2: really was. But we're gonna welcome back our guy, Brandon

16
00:00:36,520 --> 00:00:40,080
Speaker 2: brand The Deutsch's back in the executive producer chair. I

17
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 2: got a question for you, Brad, if I can I

18
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,360
Speaker 2: ask you a question before we get rolling over here.

19
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 3: Absolutely listen.

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,360
Speaker 2: Bernie Frattle was on prior to us this morning, and

21
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 2: you had a segment on fantasy football. Correct you did?

22
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:53,960
Speaker 5: Yes, sir? You okay?

23
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,240
Speaker 2: And I'm not a fantasy football guy. I don't know

24
00:00:56,240 --> 00:00:59,440
Speaker 2: if Bucky is, but I'm not all right. I just

25
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:02,080
Speaker 2: think them too much time is crazy? What kind of

26
00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:05,319
Speaker 2: freaking fantasy football do I have now? With the playoffs?

27
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:07,240
Speaker 2: I mean, it's over, is it? Why are you still

28
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 2: doing fantasy football? Maybe on way off base, I don't

29
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,000
Speaker 2: know anything about it.

30
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:12,120
Speaker 5: Yeah, you're right, you're right.

31
00:01:12,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Speaker 6: So the reason why we did we still to the

32
00:01:14,480 --> 00:01:16,760
Speaker 6: segment is to go over a lot of trends and

33
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,920
Speaker 6: statistics about the end of the season, like some Christian

34
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 6: McCaffrey trends. You know that people can take notes from

35
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 6: going into next season. Also, people have dynasty teams, so

36
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 6: I mean that's always, that's like a year round thing.

37
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:30,800
Speaker 5: I mean, I have a dynasty football team.

38
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:34,479
Speaker 6: A dynasty fantasy basketball team that's all managed year round,

39
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 6: So there's always I.

40
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 2: Was somewhat correct on that because I'm saying I'm scratching

41
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:40,920
Speaker 2: my head. Why would anybody get involved in fantasy there's only,

42
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 2: like you know, several teams left right, we're in the playoffs.

43
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,320
Speaker 5: That is correct, That is a fair point.

44
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 6: You have already been crowned your fantasy as your fantasy

45
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 6: very much.

46
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:50,160
Speaker 3: Welcome back.

47
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: Okay, now, Bucky Tom pinch me, please tell me the

48
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,880
Speaker 2: game is still Tell me that the Bears won. Is

49
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,200
Speaker 2: it true? Did the Bears really win? Because I'm watching

50
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,920
Speaker 2: that game of one eye open. Bears win that game

51
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 2: thirty one to twenty seven last night.

52
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, somehow the Bears were able to get it done.

53
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,280
Speaker 7: Unbelievable win. I'm believe in you.

54
00:02:08,880 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 2: Okay, now I'm watching the game. Packers are up twenty

55
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:13,720
Speaker 2: one three. I said, you know what, this isn't bad.

56
00:02:13,880 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 2: I get some sleep now I'm gonna shut it off.

57
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:17,640
Speaker 2: But the game turned around. It was kind of the

58
00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:20,120
Speaker 2: Packers only the first half and the Bears only the

59
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 2: second half. It's unbelievable winning thirty one to twenty seven

60
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,960
Speaker 2: because Green Bay opened the game. And now Al Michael's

61
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,160
Speaker 2: even had a notification on the fans. They kind of

62
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: panned the fans in the first half and they said,

63
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,000
Speaker 2: that's basically what it looks like here at Soldier Field.

64
00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,160
Speaker 2: Everybody was downtrodden, everybody's depressed. It was terrible, and it

65
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,040
Speaker 2: was all over in the first half. Then they come back.

66
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,359
Speaker 2: I mean, certainly Jordan Love he had touchdowns on the

67
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:46,080
Speaker 2: Packers first three drives. It was unreal, it really was.

68
00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 3: They owned them.

69
00:02:46,760 --> 00:02:48,640
Speaker 2: I said, this isn't good. Doesn't look good for the

70
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,680
Speaker 2: Bears tonight. What happened? How did it change, and honestly,

71
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: everybody was saying, well, you know, Michael wasn't there in

72
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,840
Speaker 2: the lineup for Green Bay. Maybe that'll make a difference.

73
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 2: I think down the stretcher did make a difference. There

74
00:02:58,880 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: were no sacks on the Bears quarterback.

75
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,400
Speaker 7: I mean, yeah, like whenever you lose Micah, it certainly

76
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 7: has an impact on the game. But I would say

77
00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 7: the Green Bay Packers, when you're up like that, you

78
00:03:12,919 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 7: got to keep finishing, and it's unfortunate for them.

79
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 4: Had a few miss field goals. The miss extra point

80
00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:22,240
Speaker 4: was critical because it hurt them in the end.

81
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,680
Speaker 7: They had an opportunity to put the Bears away and

82
00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 7: they didn't. And to Caleb Williams credit, to the credit

83
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:32,359
Speaker 7: of Ben Johnson, they kept plugging, they kept coming back,

84
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 7: they kept plugging away, and then defensively, Dennis Allen found

85
00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,800
Speaker 7: a way to get some stops after being torched early

86
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 7: in their man demand coverage. They made some adjustments and

87
00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 7: then a much better job on the Packers in the

88
00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:44,640
Speaker 7: second half.

89
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 3: It amazes me what happened there.

90
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:48,640
Speaker 2: I mean a fir as hot as the Packers were

91
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 2: in that first half, that's all cold they were in

92
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:51,320
Speaker 2: the second half.

93
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 3: Green Bay.

94
00:03:52,480 --> 00:03:54,560
Speaker 2: As far as I remember now, they punted it on

95
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 2: their first four drives after halftime, and then the Bears

96
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: came back from twenty one to three. I think it

97
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,920
Speaker 2: was the twenty one sixteen, but about ten minutes left

98
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 2: after I had two field goals and I had a

99
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 2: touchdown by DeAndre Swift. It's unbelievable. The one thing that

100
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,960
Speaker 2: kind of stuck out in my mind. And maybe I'm crazy,

101
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,800
Speaker 2: but even saying this looking at statistics of this game

102
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 2: when the game was done, you know, I'm saying, this

103
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: time of the year, players and teams want to rush

104
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 2: the football, you know, run the clock down and just

105
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 2: keep control and keep the visiting offense off the field.

106
00:04:24,080 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the stats right now. The Bears rushed

107
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 2: for a total of twenty eight yards and the Packers

108
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,800
Speaker 2: rushed for a total of twenty three yards. So basically

109
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 2: it was an air attack on both sides.

110
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it was that.

111
00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 7: And what I was worried about the Bears Sometimes in

112
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,000
Speaker 7: playoff games, the game can get a little big for you,

113
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 7: where you get out of pocket, you don't do the

114
00:04:45,880 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 7: things that you've done successfully, and I just worried about

115
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:53,400
Speaker 7: the Bears getting away from the physicality and toughness that

116
00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 7: really had helped them.

117
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:56,159
Speaker 4: Become the team that they were.

118
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:57,839
Speaker 7: They were throwing the ball all over the yard that

119
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 7: you got away from a running game, and you know,

120
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 7: somehow they were able to kind of figure it out.

121
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 4: They got back on track, and they won the game.

122
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:09,240
Speaker 7: This win will help them immensely next week, because I

123
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:11,280
Speaker 7: think you see a much better product next week. It

124
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,080
Speaker 7: was clunky, it was a new game for them because

125
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 7: of the inexperience, but now they've adapted to play off football,

126
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,280
Speaker 7: so they should be better prepared to handle whoever they

127
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 7: have an opportunity to play next weekend.

128
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 2: You know, let's go back to the first half of

129
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,440
Speaker 2: the bands for a second. They had four possessions in

130
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:29,760
Speaker 2: the first half and they only came away with three

131
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 2: point on the field goal. Okay, they were pretty aggressive

132
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,000
Speaker 2: on fourth down, but they didn't get it done. And

133
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 2: I'm saying to myself, what are you doing, Ben Johnson?

134
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 2: What are you doing? I mean, come on, they finished

135
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 2: two for six on fourth downs, and there was something

136
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 2: like on their throwne thirty two when they went for

137
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 2: it and they failed.

138
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 3: I mean, I don't understand, why do you do that?

139
00:05:47,040 --> 00:05:49,720
Speaker 2: I know it's gutsy and it's early, but still and

140
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: all take you got to play somewhat conservative. You got

141
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:55,479
Speaker 2: to why is he doing that?

142
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,839
Speaker 7: You know, Look, here's what I would saying, and I

143
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,000
Speaker 7: don't understand what the rush is with all of these teams.

144
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,760
Speaker 7: There were so many teams that were going forward, I

145
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,200
Speaker 7: would say unnecessarily.

146
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 4: On fourth downs. I felt like it hurt the Panthers.

147
00:06:13,160 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 7: It certainly hurt the Bears and some of the decisions

148
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:16,400
Speaker 7: that they made.

149
00:06:16,440 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 4: But I understand you want to stay true to.

150
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 7: Who you are and how you played the game throughout

151
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 7: the regular season. But man, some of these fourth down

152
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 7: failures where they're given the ball to the team in

153
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:27,480
Speaker 7: the middle.

154
00:06:27,240 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 4: Of the field, right, they set them up for easy points.

155
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:33,840
Speaker 4: I'm not in love with it. That's the best way.

156
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:34,719
Speaker 3: And the one thing.

157
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson has like no emotion. I mean he's not cloppy,

158
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,400
Speaker 2: he's not screaming, he's not jumping up and down, he's

159
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 2: not going to he's just he's like a fan watching

160
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:46,360
Speaker 2: the game. He's somewhat controlled on the sideline, so it's

161
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,840
Speaker 2: not like a panic move. I mean, this guy basically

162
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 2: knows what he's doing. Matter of fact, I want to

163
00:06:50,600 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 2: take a listen. Let's take a listen to the best coach,

164
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,679
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson. What do you have to say? Go ahead, coach.

165
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,200
Speaker 7: There's probably a little bit more noise coming out of

166
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:02,400
Speaker 7: there and building up north to start the week, which

167
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 7: we heard lot and clear players and coaches alike.

168
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:08,880
Speaker 5: So this one meant something to us, all right.

169
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 2: So now the Packers lose this game, now the rumors

170
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 2: are starting and starting to fly pretty good that Matt

171
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:18,080
Speaker 2: lafores on the hot seat. Your take on that, because

172
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 2: this guy has won like seventy six regular season games

173
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 2: in seven years, and he's tied for the second most

174
00:07:24,040 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 2: by any head coach in the first seven years in

175
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:30,960
Speaker 2: NFL history, along with the Hall of Famer himself, Paul Brown. So,

176
00:07:31,240 --> 00:07:33,520
Speaker 2: but the thing is in the postseason. I guess that's

177
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: where it counts. They don't care what you do during

178
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 2: this season. He's three and six in the postseason. Could

179
00:07:37,920 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 2: he possibly be getting the ping slip tomorrow Mount Lafleur

180
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:42,160
Speaker 2: in Green Bay.

181
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean there's a lot of conversation about that,

182
00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,840
Speaker 7: and some of it is I have to let you know, Andy,

183
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 7: having played up there, they call it title town. Their

184
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 7: expectation is they expect.

185
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:55,840
Speaker 4: To win Super Bowls.

186
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,760
Speaker 7: They expect to be deep in the postseason, competing in

187
00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:02,920
Speaker 7: championship games, in Super Bowls, and they haven't done that.

188
00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 7: And even though he is a very very good regular

189
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:13,480
Speaker 7: season record, something that you certainly can't dismiss, they have underachieved.

190
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 4: A little bit under his watch.

191
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 7: The first three years were impacted by Aaron Rodgers being

192
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:20,080
Speaker 7: in the building, and I think they had like maybe

193
00:08:20,080 --> 00:08:24,040
Speaker 7: three straight thirteen win seasons, but they couldn't get over

194
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 7: the hump, and that hump at that time was in

195
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,480
Speaker 7: San Francisco forty nine ers.

196
00:08:27,480 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 4: They couldn't get past him.

197
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 7: Then you move on, you successfully transition to Jordan Love,

198
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:34,760
Speaker 7: which he deserves a lot of credit for because he

199
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,600
Speaker 7: has been really good with quarterbacks. Whether it's Jordan Love

200
00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 7: or Malik Willis or anybody else did they put in there.

201
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 7: They've had success, but the team has not been able

202
00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:49,560
Speaker 7: to achieve to the level of what the expectations are.

203
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,319
Speaker 4: That's it. I think this is a bit of a negotiation.

204
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:57,439
Speaker 7: They do have a new president in charge policy and policies,

205
00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 7: in charge of the team, and he and Brian Guducus,

206
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,959
Speaker 7: general manager or entering the last year of the deals.

207
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:03,600
Speaker 4: You don't like to.

208
00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:08,719
Speaker 7: Have leadership guys in lame duck situations, so there has

209
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:09,680
Speaker 7: to be a conversation.

210
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 4: I would be surprised if they do.

211
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:14,400
Speaker 7: But I do know that this conversation is gonna be

212
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:16,920
Speaker 7: serious because they haven't won to the level that many

213
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,600
Speaker 7: expected the last couple of years.

214
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 3: But he started like a house on fire. He really did,

215
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:21,680
Speaker 3: because his first.

216
00:09:21,520 --> 00:09:23,839
Speaker 2: Two years, by twenty nineteen to twenty twenty, they went

217
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,760
Speaker 2: to the NFC or a NFC championship game. But they've

218
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 2: gone one in four in the last five playoff games

219
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 2: over the last four years.

220
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 3: So there's something wrong.

221
00:09:31,800 --> 00:09:34,079
Speaker 2: I mean, and I think you've always told me this,

222
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 2: that the team takes the personality of its coach.

223
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:39,000
Speaker 3: Sometimes the coach gets real tight.

224
00:09:39,040 --> 00:09:40,840
Speaker 2: You get that tight butt when you get to the

225
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 2: playoffs with the big lights shining on you, really and

226
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,800
Speaker 2: I think that transcends onto the team, and the team

227
00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 2: fails it as well. And you're just you're not playing

228
00:09:48,400 --> 00:09:50,320
Speaker 2: the way you should be playing. You know, it's only

229
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 2: a game. I heard Kurt Signidti the other night. I mean,

230
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,200
Speaker 2: it's only football, he said. And these guys are relaxed.

231
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:58,760
Speaker 2: They don't practice that much. But they what they do,

232
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:01,000
Speaker 2: They get their work done. They get homework done, and

233
00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 2: it shows on the field. I mean sometimes you could

234
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 2: maybe over practice, you know, you make it too much

235
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,400
Speaker 2: of a deal, make it too big of an event,

236
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: and you falter. Maybe that's what happens. I don't know

237
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,040
Speaker 2: happened in Baltimore too.

238
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:19,400
Speaker 7: No, I mean I think, yeah, like, certainly you can

239
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 7: make it a bigger deal than it needs to be

240
00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 7: and force your team to be a little tight. But

241
00:10:25,440 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 7: I would say I don't know if that's necessarily the issue.

242
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,920
Speaker 7: When it came to Green Bay, they look they come

243
00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 7: out the box smoking, like the game last night, twenty

244
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 7: one to three lead.

245
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:35,560
Speaker 4: They had the game under control.

246
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 7: It looked like they were about to dominate and blow

247
00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:40,480
Speaker 7: the Bears out the water, but they couldn't finish. The

248
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 7: things that have hurt them in the past have been defensively.

249
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 7: They would have some falters, some failures special teams. Wise,

250
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 7: they would make some critical mistakes and that would cost them.

251
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,160
Speaker 7: I don't know why they had finished, and I think

252
00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 7: that would be some of the questions that if you're

253
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 7: the leadership council that has to make the decision on Lafleur,

254
00:11:03,559 --> 00:11:05,640
Speaker 7: you want to ask him, why haven't you guys been

255
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 7: able to finish it off the right way?

256
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,200
Speaker 4: Why have there been so many.

257
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 7: Either one and done's early excess? Why have we not

258
00:11:13,559 --> 00:11:16,079
Speaker 7: been at our best down the stretch? And is there

259
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,199
Speaker 7: something that we can do or is it necessary for

260
00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 7: us to make a change for the results to change.

261
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 2: Well, we can ask Coach la four in a second,

262
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:27,080
Speaker 2: but before that, here's a possibility to that answer, because

263
00:11:27,120 --> 00:11:29,440
Speaker 2: the Green Bay Packers have recorded in an NFL low

264
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 2: three sacks over the final four games of the regular year.

265
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 2: Because all Pro edged Russia, Michael Parsons went down with

266
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,040
Speaker 2: the twin ACL so that was a major problem. But

267
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:40,720
Speaker 2: you didn't see that in the first half of the

268
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 2: game last night, but it showed at the end.

269
00:11:43,160 --> 00:11:45,120
Speaker 3: It really did. But let's hit from the coach, Coach

270
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,240
Speaker 3: lafor what's going on.

271
00:11:46,360 --> 00:11:49,839
Speaker 8: Talk to us, Well, obviously, this one is going to

272
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:51,439
Speaker 8: hurt for a really, really long time.

273
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:53,120
Speaker 4: You know, when you were in.

274
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 8: Complete control of the football game and the flip the

275
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 8: script gets flipped in the second half and it was

276
00:12:00,440 --> 00:12:03,480
Speaker 8: a lot of self inflicted things and you know, give

277
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:04,440
Speaker 8: credit to them.

278
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,960
Speaker 4: We knew they were a team that could come back

279
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 4: and fight.

280
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:11,320
Speaker 8: I mean, they proved it all season long, and we

281
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 8: had opportunities to kind of put them away, and we

282
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 8: didn't get it done.

283
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:16,640
Speaker 3: You know, I don't know about you.

284
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:18,640
Speaker 2: You played the game, so you could answer this question

285
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:20,440
Speaker 2: certainly a lot better than me, because the next game

286
00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:22,720
Speaker 2: I play it will be my first. The fact is that

287
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,720
Speaker 2: I'd rather lose forty five to three than lose like

288
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:28,880
Speaker 2: that last night. I really would. I mean, maybe I'm nuts.

289
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,880
Speaker 2: I'd rather get blown out. I'd rather do what Indiana

290
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 2: did to Alabama this year, what Indiana did the other night.

291
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 3: I'd rather do that than lose a heartbreaker like they

292
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 3: did last night.

293
00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:41,680
Speaker 7: It doesn't matter how you lose, you lose, so whether

294
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:43,719
Speaker 7: you get blown out, whether you get blown out, or

295
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 7: it's closed as heartbreaking, particularly in the postseason because there's

296
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 7: a finality to it. I would say this, I would

297
00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 7: rather play a great game where we play well and

298
00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:57,439
Speaker 7: I lose, as opposed to not playing well or leaving

299
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:01,720
Speaker 7: opportunities on the field and not getting it done. Yeah,

300
00:13:01,760 --> 00:13:03,800
Speaker 7: but no, getting blown out. That certainly isn't fun. Because

301
00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:05,400
Speaker 7: I watched the Oregon game that didn't look like a

302
00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 7: whole lot of fun. Getting your tail kicked up and

303
00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:10,760
Speaker 7: down the field like that. There was nothing that I

304
00:13:10,800 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 7: could take solace in and get worn out like that. However,

305
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 7: you lose, it's gonna be bad, it's gonna be heartbreaking,

306
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 7: and this is just a tough one for the Packers.

307
00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:21,520
Speaker 3: Well, I tell you what I thought.

308
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 2: It was heartbreaking last night in the first game when

309
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 2: the Carolina Panthers, who I was gonna go crazy and

310
00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,280
Speaker 2: say they don't even belong there, But you couldn't tell

311
00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:30,920
Speaker 2: me that last night they certainly did belong there. Losing

312
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 2: thirty four to thirty one. The Rams led almost the

313
00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 2: entire game. They trailed thirty one to twenty seven late

314
00:13:35,880 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 2: in the fourth quarter, and then Matthew Stafford with that

315
00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:41,439
Speaker 2: bad finger, came back with like a seventh place seventy

316
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 2: one yard touchdown drive, nineteen yard scoring strike to have

317
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,560
Speaker 2: all people kolbe Parkinson. I never thought he'd even see

318
00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,760
Speaker 2: any action right the tight end with about thirty eight

319
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 2: seconds to go, and that's the game right there. So

320
00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,480
Speaker 2: you know, again, Sean McVay comes on top. He was sweating.

321
00:13:56,760 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 2: Saw that, Sean, what was going through in mine?

322
00:13:59,679 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 9: Give it?

323
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:01,920
Speaker 3: Tell me something there, Sean, go ahead.

324
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 10: It was MVP type of stuff. What he did and

325
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:07,840
Speaker 10: ate just you know, good calm. I thought he redirected

326
00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 10: a couple of protections that allowed him not to be

327
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,079
Speaker 10: hot where we would have been, and on all those

328
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 10: plays he ended up finding completions and he got a

329
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,720
Speaker 10: bunch of different guys involved. I thought he saw the

330
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,800
Speaker 10: field really well, and that's why we're advancing because of

331
00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:19,960
Speaker 10: his leadership.

332
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:20,760
Speaker 3: No doubt about that.

333
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: Matthew staff at twenty four for forty two three oh four,

334
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 2: three touchdowns at an I int and basically he was hurting.

335
00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:28,400
Speaker 3: I mean, and we'll find out probably.

336
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:30,880
Speaker 2: Later today or tomorrow if there's any damage to that

337
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:32,800
Speaker 2: finger because it was bent back pretty good.

338
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:33,800
Speaker 3: But he came back.

339
00:14:33,840 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 2: He was a warrior.

340
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 4: He was a warrior. He came back. They made some plays.

341
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,200
Speaker 7: They did not have their best game, and it's unusual

342
00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:45,720
Speaker 7: to see them play the way that they played. I

343
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:47,440
Speaker 7: felt like they were out of sorts from the jump.

344
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 7: They didn't really run the football well. Matthew Stafford started

345
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 7: out hot, then cool substantially after that point.

346
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: But found a way to get it done.

347
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:01,680
Speaker 7: And I am surprised that you did not know about

348
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 7: Kobe Parkinson, because if you had if you just read

349
00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 7: the thing that I put up on Friday on NFL

350
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 7: dot com where I had the fourteen X factors, I

351
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 7: know read, yes, that Kobe Parkinson was a part of it.

352
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:16,920
Speaker 4: Like I am disappointed that you.

353
00:15:17,080 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 7: I was trying to get you ready to let you know, like, hey,

354
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 7: here are the guys to watch.

355
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,520
Speaker 4: Make sure you pay attention to these guys.

356
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 3: I couldn't both thought that I have that I did.

357
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 2: But I'm just saying, like, you know, you just he

358
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: was when I read it, when you wrote it, I said,

359
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:33,880
Speaker 2: come on, really, I mean, come on, bucket, but Kobe

360
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 2: park and then all of a sudden he won the

361
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,480
Speaker 2: game fro him. I just you know, to me, when

362
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 2: you talk about their offense, you don't really think of him.

363
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:44,040
Speaker 2: You think of Pooka, and he's the guy. Really, Stafford

364
00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 2: and Pooka, that's it right at the Bay Adams.

365
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 7: I mean, and yeah and DeVante, but you had to

366
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 7: think most of the time in the playoffs people who

367
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 7: were trying and make you play left, and they're trying

368
00:15:58,080 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 7: to take it with your top options and make you

369
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 7: lean on somebody else. And I just I just thought

370
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:05,440
Speaker 7: giving his eight regular season touchdowns the way that that

371
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 7: thirteen personnel package, the three tight ends on the field,

372
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,960
Speaker 7: the way they've been leaning on that felt like he

373
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 7: would have a good chance to make some plays and

374
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,440
Speaker 7: do some stuff.

375
00:16:13,840 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what you talking about the two games

376
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 2: yesterday as cheap as I am. I may have paid

377
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,280
Speaker 2: and gone to those games and pay for a ticket,

378
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 2: that's how good they were. But I will say this

379
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,400
Speaker 2: that Rams game, if you were to summarize that in

380
00:16:24,440 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 2: one word, it was exciting, but it was sloppy. I

381
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,520
Speaker 2: mean it really was fumbles. You know, they had, you know,

382
00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:34,600
Speaker 2: punts that were dropped. You know, Pooka had a touchdown,

383
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:36,360
Speaker 2: he was white old, but he dropped the ball.

384
00:16:36,440 --> 00:16:39,360
Speaker 3: I mean, just a sloppy game. Maybe it was the win.

385
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:39,840
Speaker 3: I don't know.

386
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 2: They're making excuses about it.

387
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 4: You don't see that the nerves, Yes, it's the nerves.

388
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 7: Like the playoff pressure is so much different than the

389
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 7: regular season that you will see some things that are uncharacteristic.

390
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 7: And I think what we're learning and watching the NFL

391
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,440
Speaker 7: playoffs and even the college football playoffs, the key to

392
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:04,760
Speaker 7: winning in the playoffs is not necessarily winning the game,

393
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,719
Speaker 7: but it's avoid it's avoiding losing.

394
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:09,480
Speaker 4: It's not losing the game.

395
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:15,160
Speaker 7: It's avoiding the self inflicted errors, the turnovers, the penalties,

396
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 7: the blown assignments that lead to big plays. Those are

397
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,760
Speaker 7: the things that cost you in the postseason.

398
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,800
Speaker 4: And there's an even.

399
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 7: Greater sense that, man, if we just don't beat ourselves,

400
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 7: we're gonna have an opportunity to win games.

401
00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:32,800
Speaker 4: And I think.

402
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:36,520
Speaker 7: When teams lock into that not take a more conservative approach,

403
00:17:36,560 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 7: but hey, just dial in. Let's just do the things

404
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 7: that we're really good at, simplify things and not give

405
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 7: the other team big plays.

406
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:44,160
Speaker 4: We'll have a chance to win.

407
00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 2: You know, do me a favorite take Take me into

408
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 2: the locker room right now, you've been there, done that.

409
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,159
Speaker 2: What is it like when a team gets ready and

410
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,600
Speaker 2: it's like, you know, lose and you go home, win

411
00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:00,640
Speaker 2: and you roll on, all right. So when you're in

412
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,919
Speaker 2: that locker room getting dressed, and you look to your

413
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:04,560
Speaker 2: left or to your right in the locker room, you

414
00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,680
Speaker 2: see the guys that are getting dressed with you, your teammates.

415
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 2: Could be the last time you see him, could be

416
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: the last time you play with them, just be your

417
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:10,520
Speaker 2: last game.

418
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 3: What is that? What is that feeling like that?

419
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 2: That to me is more of a sickening feeling than

420
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,320
Speaker 2: actually playing the game knowing that after this game today,

421
00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 2: we're all going home and are going our own way.

422
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:22,119
Speaker 2: I mean, and you've been there, done that.

423
00:18:22,200 --> 00:18:22,840
Speaker 3: What is that like?

424
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 4: Hard?

425
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 7: A lot of pressure, man, a lot of pressure on

426
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:30,679
Speaker 7: you because you never wanted to end. You want to

427
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:34,360
Speaker 7: have an opportunity to play with your teammates for as

428
00:18:34,359 --> 00:18:36,920
Speaker 7: long as you can. Because the thing that no one

429
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 7: to tell you, there is no automatic next step. Wherever

430
00:18:42,119 --> 00:18:45,600
Speaker 7: you finished this year, there's no guarantee that you're going

431
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,800
Speaker 7: to get to this point or beyond the following year.

432
00:18:48,840 --> 00:18:51,239
Speaker 7: You have to start all the way back over and

433
00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 7: earn the right to do those things again. And the

434
00:18:54,480 --> 00:19:00,000
Speaker 7: team is never the same. There are changes, the chemistry change,

435
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 7: his roles and responsibilities change. That's why you have to

436
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:05,200
Speaker 7: maximize the opportunities when you have.

437
00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 4: It right there.

438
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:09,400
Speaker 7: Yeah, So it's heartbreaking when you don't finish it off

439
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,400
Speaker 7: the right way.

440
00:19:10,560 --> 00:19:13,600
Speaker 4: Because you know, man, we got to walk this.

441
00:19:13,640 --> 00:19:17,080
Speaker 7: Long road again, and who knows what it's gonna look

442
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:17,880
Speaker 7: like when we do it.

443
00:19:18,520 --> 00:19:20,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, And I tell you why, we'd be remiss if

444
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 2: we didn't mention the player Bryce Young, because I think

445
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 2: he's developing right now twenty one for forty. Last night

446
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:27,240
Speaker 2: two sixty four, I thought he did rather well. I

447
00:19:27,320 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 2: mean at the end of the game, you know, just

448
00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 2: too many guys. Whether the Rams had like seven guys

449
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 2: rushing him at the end, it looked like if you're

450
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:36,480
Speaker 2: get in the position, he just either something like thirty

451
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 2: two yards to get into the field goal position that

452
00:19:38,400 --> 00:19:40,320
Speaker 2: could have tied that game. They couldn't do it. The

453
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 2: rush was just too much. But I think Bryce Young

454
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 2: proved himself last night. I think they're gonna be a

455
00:19:44,880 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 2: tough team. I think Caroline is going to roll on now.

456
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 2: I really do.

457
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:49,880
Speaker 4: Yeah.

458
00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:51,240
Speaker 7: I mean you'd like to think that they're gonna be

459
00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 7: a tough team and they will be able to kind

460
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:56,480
Speaker 7: of build upon what they've done. But we'll see. I

461
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 7: mean there's some nice things. And I say this brother

462
00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 7: is a huge Panthers fan. He was disappointed, heartbroken by

463
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 7: the loss, but he takes solids in the fact that

464
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,760
Speaker 7: they played really well in the postseason. Bryce, youwon, did

465
00:20:10,800 --> 00:20:13,800
Speaker 7: show up well in the postseason, So maybe he's built

466
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 7: to do it. And then it's a matter of adding

467
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:19,359
Speaker 7: some pieces around him to give him his best chance

468
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 7: to maximize who he is and what he can.

469
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,679
Speaker 2: Be, no doubt about that. He's Bucket Brooks, Houston man,

470
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:25,879

Speaker 3: It will always pop up at the top of your screen.

505
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:55,240
Speaker 2: All Right, I got a problem, and I know that

506
00:21:55,280 --> 00:21:57,399
Speaker 2: you can help me solve it, all right because the

507
00:21:57,480 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 2: Associated Press pic they're all protein. Just the other day,

508
00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:04,040
Speaker 2: and obviously, Matthew Stafford was named first team quarterback All

509
00:22:04,080 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: Pro honors, all right, And I didn't agree with that.

510
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 3: I didn't agree with that, all right. I think that

511
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:10,480
Speaker 3: Drake May.

512
00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 2: Should have been it. Drake May was number two, obviously,

513
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:15,200
Speaker 2: but I think Drake May should have been the number

514
00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: one guy. And you know why because his stats are

515
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:20,960
Speaker 2: better than Matthew Stafford. How do you like that Drake

516
00:22:21,040 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 2: May is the more efficient passer. Drake May has a

517
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: higher completion percentage. Drake May is more valuable on the ground.

518
00:22:27,960 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: There's a runner than Matthew Stafford. He's done more for

519
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,360
Speaker 2: his team the bigger turnaround this year. And obviously Stafford

520
00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:39,160
Speaker 2: leads in touchdowns, but certainly he's got more people on

521
00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 2: his team to throw the football too. So I looked

522
00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,919
Speaker 2: at it that Drake May's completion percentage was seventy two

523
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,639
Speaker 2: percent first in the league, where Matthew Stafford's was sixty

524
00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,480
Speaker 2: five percent. Passing US forty three hundred is something like

525
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,480
Speaker 2: that for Drake May forty seven hundred for Stafford. I'm

526
00:22:55,520 --> 00:22:57,720
Speaker 2: throwing this in your lap. I know you're a Drake

527
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 2: May guy, North Carolina. Let us they think that Drake

528
00:23:01,240 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 2: May did not get the votes because the Associated Press

529
00:23:04,359 --> 00:23:06,760
Speaker 2: voters is saying, well, Matthew staff has been there, he's

530
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:09,080
Speaker 2: thirty seven years old, let's give it to him. Drake

531
00:23:09,119 --> 00:23:11,600
Speaker 2: May's got time. I really believe they vote like that.

532
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:14,000
Speaker 4: I would agree with you.

533
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 7: I think there is some sentimental flavor to the Matthew

534
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 7: Stafford love when it comes to the MVP race, and

535
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 7: also the All Pro designation. He certainly should be in

536
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:28,120
Speaker 7: a conversation, Like you don't have forty plus touchdowns and

537
00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 7: not earned the right to be in a conversation. But

538
00:23:31,320 --> 00:23:33,480
Speaker 7: when you look at Drake May, who led the league

539
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 7: in completion percentage, passer rating, yards per attempt, he took

540
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 7: a team that will had.

541
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 4: Three or four wins last year. They now have fourteen wins.

542
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,800
Speaker 7: There's a lot of things where you could credit Drake

543
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,440
Speaker 7: May for being critical to the turnaround that we saw

544
00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:54,800
Speaker 7: in New England. That in itself should make him worthy

545
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 7: of being the first team All Pro selection.

546
00:23:57,000 --> 00:23:59,159
Speaker 2: And more than that, I say, Drake May got his

547
00:23:59,320 --> 00:24:03,320
Speaker 2: numbers with less offensive talent. And I'll tell you something else.

548
00:24:03,640 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 2: They had a tougher schedule than the Rams. They had

549
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 2: a tougher schedule, all right, So I think Matthew Stafford

550
00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,880
Speaker 2: has a pretty elite offense.

551
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 4: Oh wait, wait, oh wait wait, I don't know. Now.

552
00:24:13,760 --> 00:24:15,480
Speaker 4: You had me up until you said they had a

553
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:16,280
Speaker 4: tougher schedule.

554
00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:20,719
Speaker 2: I think a defensive a defensive schedule that he's playing against.

555
00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 3: I really believe that.

556
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:23,159
Speaker 4: I mean, I think they only played I think they

557
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:24,200
Speaker 4: only played one team.

558
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 7: Would a winning record, right, Andy, like and that would

559
00:24:27,040 --> 00:24:31,280
Speaker 7: be the Buffalo Bills. I mean, no disrespect, yeah, no

560
00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 7: disrespect to the Patriots, but I mean they put some

561
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:39,520
Speaker 7: cupcakes and Rudy poots to get to.

562
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:41,080
Speaker 4: To get to it now, so they don't. I mean,

563
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 4: I give you everything up until that point when.

564
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:45,040
Speaker 7: You said they played a tougher schedule, they didn't play

565
00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 7: a tougher schedule because Matthew Stafford, just in his division

566
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,040
Speaker 7: had to play two playoff teams, uh San Francisco forty

567
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 7: nine ers.

568
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 5: And the.

569
00:24:55,280 --> 00:24:57,359
Speaker 3: Stafford does have a better offensive unit than me.

570
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,959
Speaker 2: He does, Okay, he does, So I'm with you there,

571
00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 2: all right. I'm speaking of the offensive unit. Pooka Nakua.

572
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:06,760
Speaker 2: He led the league in receptions, He's first team receiver.

573
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 2: He led the league in rods one twenty nine, and

574
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,040
Speaker 2: he had one hundred twenty one catches, seventeen hundred plus

575
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 2: the ards, ten touchdowns. But I will say this that

576
00:25:14,720 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 2: Jamar Chase basically on a worst team. Whatever that means,

577
00:25:20,440 --> 00:25:22,040
Speaker 2: I think Chase should have got that. Maybe I'm a

578
00:25:22,359 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 2: bit of a homer over there, but Jamar Chase.

579
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 4: It ain't a bit of a homer. That's a lot

580
00:25:27,720 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 4: of homer, A lot of Homewer.

581
00:25:32,119 --> 00:25:34,480
Speaker 2: Tell you why I said it stat wise, Maybe they're

582
00:25:34,480 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: even I don't know, but he's gonna be a Hall

583
00:25:36,600 --> 00:25:38,919
Speaker 2: of Famer Jamar Chase, that I know. But when I

584
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 2: watched Pooka last night, then he dropped the pants. That happens,

585
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:44,000
Speaker 2: I get it, Okay. I think that Jamar Chase is

586
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 2: a lot tougher to bring down than Pooker. I watched Jamar.

587
00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: I mean he's tough. He's like a running back. You

588
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 2: can't get that guy down. And then they try their bit,

589
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,640
Speaker 2: they push and they shove him. You gotta wrap them

590
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,159
Speaker 2: up pretty good. He's strong, he's tough. He may be

591
00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 2: the strong. He's stronger than Justin Jefferson's long on the Pooka,

592
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:01,199
Speaker 2: I know that.

593
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:06,200
Speaker 4: Look, I'm with you on all those things. You know

594
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,439
Speaker 4: what I'm saying. Like he is a running back on

595
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:10,320
Speaker 4: the perimeter in terms of his size, his.

596
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,760
Speaker 7: Strength, his physicality, the way he finishes off those runs,

597
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:15,800
Speaker 7: all those things that you say are true.

598
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:17,800
Speaker 4: He's a handful.

599
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 7: He's a nightmare to bring down, and it's a problem

600
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:22,720
Speaker 7: when you get him in space.

601
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:24,040
Speaker 4: Uh that's it.

602
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,960
Speaker 7: Look, I think you cannot diminish what Pooka did led

603
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,879
Speaker 7: the league in receptions, I think him, and then it

604
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:34,600
Speaker 7: was Trade may Bride right behind him. You got to

605
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 7: credit him for the production because I remember you had to

606
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 7: play a long a lot of the season with DeVante

607
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 7: Adams in and out of the lineup and those things.

608
00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:43,480
Speaker 4: So I give him a ton of credit.

609
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 2: Okay, we move on to a little college football with

610
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:49,000
Speaker 2: you right now. Let me talk about this. This game

611
00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:52,120
Speaker 2: on Thursday night in Miami, the tenth the tenth seed Miami.

612
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,200
Speaker 2: They're gonna play a home game now for the National Championship. Okay,

613
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,719
Speaker 2: they gonna play Anthyana to be a pretty good game.

614
00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 2: I think it's gonna be a good game, although when

615
00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 2: I say that, they're not usually good game. I thought

616
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:02,000
Speaker 2: the Oregon Indiana game was going to be a good

617
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,159
Speaker 2: game because it was a thirty twenty game when they

618
00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 2: played back on October when Indiana won. But it was

619
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:08,960
Speaker 2: a different ballgame this time. However, I got to believe

620
00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 2: Oregon didn't have much of a running game. They were rined,

621
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,360
Speaker 2: but thirty one to twenty seven was to win over

622
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,639
Speaker 2: number sixty at Old Miss and the Fiesta Bowl on

623
00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: Thursday night. Okay, and basically you got Carson Beck let

624
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 2: me ask you this about Miami quarterback Carson Beck. He

625
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: did score in that three touchdown run, what about fifteen

626
00:27:23,640 --> 00:27:25,879
Speaker 2: eighteen seconds to go to win the game for the Hurricanes.

627
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,080
Speaker 2: What does he look like in the NFL right now?

628
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,720
Speaker 2: Because I think it's some of a weak quarterback class

629
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 2: coming out.

630
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,679
Speaker 4: Oh no, that's very weak. I think he has an

631
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 4: opportunity to continue to write that story. Uh.

632
00:27:39,640 --> 00:27:41,520
Speaker 7: He is someone who has a ton of experience. He's

633
00:27:41,520 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 7: played in big games. But the question is can he

634
00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:46,640
Speaker 7: put an offense on his back?

635
00:27:46,680 --> 00:27:47,320
Speaker 4: Can he make.

636
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 7: Critical plays with those plays are there to be made,

637
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 7: and can he do it consistently? A lot of his

638
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 7: stock and his status will hande on the way that

639
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 7: he plays against a really really good IU defense. Stat

640
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:03,439
Speaker 7: has UH flustered and be fuddled. The last couple of

641
00:28:03,480 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 7: quarterbacks that we've seen who have been touted as top guys,

642
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:10,400
Speaker 7: Todd Simpson for Alabama was having issues before getting knocked out.

643
00:28:10,800 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 4: Dante Moore looked overwhelmed by what i U was doing.

644
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:16,680
Speaker 7: Yes, never get a chance to see what Carson Beck

645
00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 7: is able to do.

646
00:28:17,760 --> 00:28:19,320
Speaker 4: So this would be a great test for him.

647
00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:20,840
Speaker 7: This would be a game that a lot of scouts

648
00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 7: will hang to in terms of who he is, what

649
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:27,120
Speaker 7: he could be at the next level. It look it'd

650
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:31,040
Speaker 7: be it'll be great to see him perform in this

651
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,240
Speaker 7: environment to to answer some of the questions people have

652
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,439
Speaker 7: about him, And the same thing will be true in

653
00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:40,720
Speaker 7: a way for Fernando Mendoza. There's a lot of con

654
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,600
Speaker 7: conversation I would say about him. Uh there, they're Raiders

655
00:28:44,640 --> 00:28:48,240
Speaker 7: fans that are ready to have a coronation about him

656
00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,680
Speaker 7: being the next great quarterback, the next right quarterback to

657
00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:55,120
Speaker 7: save the franchise in those things, and in this game,

658
00:28:55,320 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 7: what I hope for outside of a good game is

659
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,600
Speaker 7: I hope that he's tested a little bit in terms

660
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,280
Speaker 7: of they have always kind of been able to dictate

661
00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 7: the terms. If you think about Indiana, they've always played ahead,

662
00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 7: they've been blowing out opponents and those things. I want

663
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,800
Speaker 7: to see what he looks like when it isn't perfect

664
00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:16,040
Speaker 7: for him, when it's not a thing where he can

665
00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 7: just throw to the first read and he has to

666
00:29:17,840 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 7: get to a second and third, when they are able

667
00:29:20,200 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 7: to change the picture on this and everything systematically isn't

668
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 7: hunting Because I know people are raving about his playoff

669
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,800
Speaker 7: stats completed eighty six percent of his passes three hundred

670
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:34,840
Speaker 7: and sixty nine yards over two games.

671
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:35,400
Speaker 4: Eight touchdowns.

672
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 7: That's great, But and if you divide that up, most

673
00:29:38,720 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 7: of the time when we talk about a quarterback, we

674
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 7: wouldn't go crazy over a quarterback having only one hundred

675
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:46,880
Speaker 7: and eighty plus yards per game on average like that

676
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:49,720
Speaker 7: normally wouldn't be something that we're raving about or selling

677
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:53,600
Speaker 7: the celebrating. We were talking about the efficiency being great,

678
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:57,200
Speaker 7: the effectiveness, but what we would also say is like, man,

679
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,560
Speaker 7: can he run it on his own? Put it on

680
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 7: his shoulders? You remember the conversation a little bit about

681
00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 7: JJ McCarthy was, hey, can he put it on his

682
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,080
Speaker 7: back because he didn't throw a ton?

683
00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 4: Well, for Fernando, there's some of that.

684
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:13,360
Speaker 7: That you want to see, even though look, without question,

685
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,880
Speaker 7: he's QB one in this class and I don't even

686
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 7: know who QB two is and if QB two is

687
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:22,080
Speaker 7: a first rounder, but the conversation about him, you still

688
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,360
Speaker 7: kind of want to continue to see him prove that

689
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,880
Speaker 7: he's worthy of being celebrated as a first pick in

690
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,360
Speaker 7: the draft.

691
00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: But I will say this, Beck was flinging a pretty

692
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,440
Speaker 2: good the other night. But he's twenty three to thirty

693
00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:35,080
Speaker 2: seven of two sixty eight. That's a lot of passing,

694
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:37,320
Speaker 2: It really was. And I kind of got a chuckle

695
00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 2: when I heard Signetti. Kurt Signet, the coach of Indiana.

696
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 2: After the Oregons went on Friday night, he says when

697
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 2: they interviewed it after the game, it's great to have

698
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 2: a home playoff game and they were playing in Atlanta. Well,

699
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:50,920
Speaker 2: it's going to happen to Miami now because the championship

700
00:30:50,920 --> 00:30:52,800
Speaker 2: game is going to be in Miami, which I don't

701
00:30:52,840 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 2: know if it's good or bad, but you know, still

702
00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,120
Speaker 2: and all, you know, you want to have it somewhat neutral,

703
00:30:57,160 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 2: but I guess it just just the way the cards fell.

704
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 3: It is happened that way.

705
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, today, table, you know, move away, because all the

706
00:31:05,960 --> 00:31:07,719
Speaker 2: o Jadai peoples had No Ja Dame should have been

707
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 2: in there.

708
00:31:08,240 --> 00:31:10,040
Speaker 3: Maybe they should have been over Alabama.

709
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:12,480
Speaker 2: But the fact that Miami beating No Jadame early on,

710
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 2: Miami deserved to be there and they're playing like a two.

711
00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 4: Yeah.

712
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 7: If Notre Dame was in a conference, would be easy

713
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:19,600
Speaker 7: to determine whether they should be in there or not.

714
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:22,880
Speaker 7: They're not in a conference, they're independent, So all of

715
00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,880
Speaker 7: this for them is looked. Its subject to the eyeball

716
00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:29,360
Speaker 7: tests and they didn't pass the test based on the

717
00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:33,120
Speaker 7: criteria of those things. With Miami and the home game, look,

718
00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:36,440
Speaker 7: I think people have to understand Indiana travels well because

719
00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 7: Indiana has a huge alumni base and they have money.

720
00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,960
Speaker 7: And the Atlanta game was an easy trip for them

721
00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 7: because as NonStop from Indiana to Atlanta, they were able

722
00:31:46,320 --> 00:31:49,960
Speaker 7: to get there. Uh, they took over the stadium like

723
00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 7: it was ninety five was ready, Yeah, it was all

724
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:55,360
Speaker 7: read and so it was a home game. I would

725
00:31:55,400 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 7: anticipate them being well represented in Miami, even though it

726
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 7: is technically a home game for the Hurricanes, playing in

727
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,840
Speaker 7: their backyard. I think in the end of travel, this

728
00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:07,720
Speaker 7: means a lot to the university, means a lot to

729
00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,400
Speaker 7: their fan base.

730
00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:11,120
Speaker 4: There's gona be a lot of red in the stands.

731
00:32:11,640 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 3: Yeah.

732
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,480
Speaker 2: And last but not least, I mean that loss that

733
00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,240
Speaker 2: oh Miss suffered at the hands of Miami. It could

734
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 2: be bigger than they thought it was because Trinidad Chambliss

735
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,840
Speaker 2: his waiver request for that extray of eligibility was denied.

736
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 2: So obviously they'll be looking for a quarterback or maybe

737
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:29,240
Speaker 2: Chamberless goals and put his name in the NFL drafts.

738
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens there. But you know, six years,

739
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,239
Speaker 2: come on, really, it's enough already. You know how much

740
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,680
Speaker 2: school could you go to? I mean, they denied it,

741
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:38,200
Speaker 2: but we'll see what happens on that there.

742
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:39,320
Speaker 3: What do you feel?

743
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,880
Speaker 2: What's your feeling on that waiver request that he should

744
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:42,920
Speaker 2: be playing for another year?

745
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,880
Speaker 7: Well, I mean, this is a medical richer that he's

746
00:32:46,920 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 7: applying for, and given the circumstances that we've seen others

747
00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:54,840
Speaker 7: have it, it seems like he would be capable or

748
00:32:54,840 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 7: eligible to be able to get that sixth season. We've

749
00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:01,320
Speaker 7: seen guys with seven years and eight years in those things.

750
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,840
Speaker 7: So it's just it continues to be a thing that's

751
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:07,920
Speaker 7: inconsistent with the NCAA in terms of who's eligible and

752
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 7: why they're eligible. For Trinidad Chambliss, it's interesting because you

753
00:33:12,280 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 7: make a ton of money if he's able to come

754
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,960
Speaker 7: back to ole Miss. The NFL I believe is warming

755
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 7: up to him, given the way that he performed in

756
00:33:20,520 --> 00:33:23,920
Speaker 7: the playoffs, but we're still not talking about a first rounder,

757
00:33:24,200 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 7: just giving his stature in those things. But I do

758
00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,800
Speaker 7: believe he's interesting enough that people are beginning to do

759
00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:31,560
Speaker 7: their homework on.

760
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:33,000
Speaker 3: No doubt about that.

761
00:33:33,040 --> 00:33:35,320
Speaker 2: I tell you what, I got some information on coach

762
00:33:35,840 --> 00:33:38,200
Speaker 2: Kurt Signetti and a guy who played from a JMU.

763
00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: But I'm gonna hold that. We'll hold that, maybe roll

764
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 2: that into the next out because I think you may

765
00:33:41,600 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 2: even know this player. He played for James Madison University

766
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,080
Speaker 2: when Signetti was coaching there. And like the kind of guy,

767
00:33:47,160 --> 00:33:49,320
Speaker 2: he is going to pull the curtain back on coach

768
00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,200
Speaker 2: to Signetic, So we'll do that. But right now he

769
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 2: is Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Ferman, will live on the

00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,120
Speaker 2: You got any questions for our guy, Bucket Brooks, Do

783
00:34:31,160 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 2: you have any questions?

784
00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:33,920
Speaker 5: I do have some questions.

785
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:34,880
Speaker 3: The first one.

786
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,360
Speaker 6: The first one being can Josh Allen and the Bills

787
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:40,719
Speaker 6: offense cover for their defense?

788
00:34:41,000 --> 00:34:42,319
Speaker 5: And about ole Jacksonville?

789
00:34:44,000 --> 00:34:45,920
Speaker 4: Uh, yeah, they can cover. He's good enough to make

790
00:34:45,960 --> 00:34:46,319
Speaker 4: them cover.

791
00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:50,040
Speaker 7: They They've been trying to master their defensive deficiencies about

792
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:53,320
Speaker 7: running the football, not only with James coope, with Josh Allen,

793
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 7: make him play so offensively. They certainly are good enough

794
00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 7: to be able to do it, and they're going to

795
00:34:58,400 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 7: need to have to do it. This game in Jacksonville

796
00:35:01,520 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 7: will come down to Josh Allen making plays on and

797
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 7: off the script, his ability to avoid the turnovers, and

798
00:35:07,080 --> 00:35:09,719
Speaker 7: if they can run the ball successfully with James. If

799
00:35:09,760 --> 00:35:11,359
Speaker 7: they do those things, they have a great chance of winning.

800
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:15,879
Speaker 2: Any mark ahead, Markhead, Marky, Marky has one.

801
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,919
Speaker 12: Well, right now, I'm on cloud one hundred and twenty

802
00:35:18,040 --> 00:35:19,800
Speaker 12: five because of the Bears win. So I have no

803
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:24,040
Speaker 12: questions right now. Oh as what, I'm happy.

804
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 4: No questions, no question.

805
00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 2: Let me a follow up a little bit on Brander's deal.

806
00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:32,320
Speaker 2: How concerned are you? How nervous. Are this could be

807
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 2: one of the bigger games in the franchise history for Jacksonville? Well,

808
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 2: what is it like on a pretty tight.

809
00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:41,920
Speaker 4: No, I don't think they're tight at all.

810
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 7: I think, if anything, they're motivated because it's the first

811
00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,359
Speaker 7: time that the football world is really going to tune

812
00:35:47,400 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 7: into Jacksonville this year. So I think they're gonna line up,

813
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:52,759
Speaker 7: they're gonna play, They're gonna do what they've always done.

814
00:35:53,160 --> 00:35:55,719
Speaker 7: They're gonna make it about themselves and not so much.

815
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:57,680
Speaker 7: The one thing that you want to look for early

816
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,640
Speaker 7: in this game with the inexperienced team is are they

817
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 7: over the emotional? Do you see them overreact to good

818
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 7: and bad plays? Because in the playoffs, it's such a

819
00:36:08,320 --> 00:36:10,879
Speaker 7: long game that you can't allow yourself to get caught

820
00:36:10,920 --> 00:36:12,399
Speaker 7: up in the ebbs and the flows of the game.

821
00:36:12,719 --> 00:36:14,399
Speaker 4: You kind of have to be steady Eddy and ride

822
00:36:14,400 --> 00:36:15,040
Speaker 4: the roller coaster.

823
00:36:15,719 --> 00:36:17,359
Speaker 2: When I think of Jacksonville, you know what I think

824
00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: of They lost to the Cincinnati Bengals, and that's the

825
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:22,160
Speaker 2: game Joe Burrow got hurt. I mean, could you believe

826
00:36:22,600 --> 00:36:26,200
Speaker 2: looking back at this season right now, Jacksonville lost to

827
00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:28,920
Speaker 2: the six and eleven Cincinnati Bengals can't believe it.

828
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:30,640
Speaker 4: Yeah, I can't believe it.

829
00:36:30,800 --> 00:36:32,799
Speaker 7: Some would say that there was a passing inference called

830
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 7: on Travis Travis Hunter that prevented the.

831
00:36:35,640 --> 00:36:39,879
Speaker 4: Jaguars from in the number one overall. See, well, wow,

832
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:44,120
Speaker 4: I don't know about that. We'll see the tape. The

833
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 4: tape doesn't lie.

834
00:36:45,560 --> 00:36:46,960
Speaker 11: I know, I know, I know.

835
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,560
Speaker 3: All right, Brandon, go ahead, I know you got some more.

836
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, no worries. How important is this?

837
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:56,280
Speaker 6: Patt's quarterback, Drake may Right, he has no playoff experience

838
00:36:56,400 --> 00:37:00,839
Speaker 6: his first game. The Chargers they have some playoff experience. Now,

839
00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,399
Speaker 6: you know Herbert doesn't have a win, right, but what are.

840
00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,120
Speaker 5: Your thoughts on how he'll play in his first playoff game.

841
00:37:07,360 --> 00:37:08,160
Speaker 5: It's at home, so.

842
00:37:09,719 --> 00:37:12,520
Speaker 7: Look, it's gonna be a little nerve wracking. But Josh

843
00:37:12,600 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 7: McDaniels will set this one up form really well. They'll

844
00:37:16,760 --> 00:37:19,719
Speaker 7: make sure, like for an inexperienced quarterback, early lean into

845
00:37:19,760 --> 00:37:21,800
Speaker 7: the things that he's most comfortable with.

846
00:37:22,360 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 4: The thing about the Charges, the Charges.

847
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,640
Speaker 7: Really wanted this matchup, like they feel like it's a

848
00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:28,160
Speaker 7: great matchup for them.

849
00:37:28,440 --> 00:37:29,239
Speaker 4: They're on that line.

850
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:30,879
Speaker 7: Jesse Mint is gonna have to be in his bag

851
00:37:30,960 --> 00:37:34,200
Speaker 7: to see if he can trick and confuse the young quarterback.

852
00:37:34,560 --> 00:37:36,319
Speaker 4: But Drake may has been terrific all year.

853
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 7: I would expect him to continue to be a player

854
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:40,919
Speaker 7: that played at an all pro level.

855
00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 4: Uh, don't expect him to fall off from what he

856
00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:44,719
Speaker 4: did during the regular season.

857
00:37:45,200 --> 00:37:46,839
Speaker 2: Okay, before we go back to brand, let me follow

858
00:37:46,920 --> 00:37:48,480
Speaker 2: up with that say about Jesse mitta right now, the

859
00:37:48,480 --> 00:37:52,120
Speaker 2: defensive coordinator who was with coach Harbaugh and Michigan. Jesse

860
00:37:52,320 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 2: Mitt that went to Mount Saint Joe College in Cincinnati.

861
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,160
Speaker 2: His dad a good buddy of my Rick Mint that

862
00:37:57,280 --> 00:37:59,879
Speaker 2: used to coach University of Cincinnati. Now I am here

863
00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:04,040
Speaker 2: that Jesse Mitter his name has been thrown around as

864
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,680
Speaker 2: perhaps the coach of the New York Football Giants.

865
00:38:06,760 --> 00:38:07,319
Speaker 3: Is that true?

866
00:38:08,760 --> 00:38:10,840
Speaker 7: I mean, he's gonna have his choice of jobs. Like,

867
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 7: he's a very popular candidate. Whether it's the New York Giants.

868
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 7: The Baltimore Ravens appear to be a great fit for

869
00:38:18,160 --> 00:38:20,560
Speaker 7: him because he spend time in that organization and maybe

870
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:23,479
Speaker 7: they can get a little bit of that Mike McDonald bump,

871
00:38:23,880 --> 00:38:26,520
Speaker 7: having younger fresh voice in the building.

872
00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 4: Yeah.

873
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:29,520
Speaker 7: But either way, wherever he wants to go, he's gonna

874
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,440
Speaker 7: be able to do it because people really respect the

875
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:33,759
Speaker 7: job that he's done, not only with the charges, but

876
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 7: what he did with the Michigan Moverrins.

877
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,880
Speaker 3: All right, Brandon Sortes, step, are you told its all?

878
00:38:37,960 --> 00:38:38,000
Speaker 9: You?

879
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:38,320
Speaker 12: No?

880
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,120
Speaker 6: I was gonna say, I think he's a perfect fit

881
00:38:40,200 --> 00:38:43,560
Speaker 6: with the Ravens. That's just my input on that. I

882
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:46,680
Speaker 6: want to ask this of all the recent fired NFL coaches,

883
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:50,080
Speaker 6: who will have the toughest time landing a new gig?

884
00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:55,040
Speaker 7: Uh Rohie Morris will have a tough time landing a

885
00:38:55,160 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 7: new head coaching gig because it's his second time. It

886
00:38:58,320 --> 00:39:00,800
Speaker 7: is rare that someone gets a third by at the Apple,

887
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 7: so I would anticipate him having a tough time.

888
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:06,879
Speaker 4: I would say, I am.

889
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:10,200
Speaker 7: Surprised that people are going google guy got over Kevin Stefanski.

890
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 7: That's probably the biggest surprise for me, that there's so

891
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:15,759
Speaker 7: much love for him on the streets when it comes

892
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:16,720
Speaker 7: to this hiring cycle.

893
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:21,600
Speaker 6: All right, well, next, yeah, how surprised were you with

894
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 6: the firing of John Harbaugh?

895
00:39:23,360 --> 00:39:26,600
Speaker 4: Then I am pretty surprised.

896
00:39:26,640 --> 00:39:29,080
Speaker 7: But then when you read the reports that are coming

897
00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:32,560
Speaker 7: out about Baltimore at that locker room, and I would

898
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:36,080
Speaker 7: say the questions about the accountability amongst the players. It

899
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:39,160
Speaker 7: seemed like it was a bit of a mess inside,

900
00:39:39,239 --> 00:39:41,200
Speaker 7: like whether it's dealing with Lamar Jackson, dealing with some

901
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:42,080
Speaker 7: of the other players.

902
00:39:42,520 --> 00:39:44,880
Speaker 4: It just appeared that, I don't know, it was just

903
00:39:44,960 --> 00:39:46,960
Speaker 4: out of source. Everyone wasn't in alignment.

904
00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:50,160
Speaker 7: He's a great coach and you cannot take anything away

905
00:39:50,200 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 7: from him what he accomplished during his time in Baltimore.

906
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:56,520
Speaker 7: People will eventually celebrate it, but some wud say that

907
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,160
Speaker 7: he's underachieved over the last couple of years. They had

908
00:39:59,160 --> 00:40:01,560
Speaker 7: a Super Bowl ross didn't be They weren't able to

909
00:40:01,560 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 7: get it done, and the blame typically falls to the

910
00:40:04,719 --> 00:40:06,520
Speaker 7: head coach and then the quarterback.

911
00:40:07,160 --> 00:40:08,759
Speaker 2: Let me jump in for a second. You talk about

912
00:40:08,760 --> 00:40:11,399
Speaker 2: a coach probably rarely gets a third opportunity. I don't

913
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:13,880
Speaker 2: know why Marvin Lewis, who go used to coach the Bengals,

914
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,160
Speaker 2: never got a second opportunity.

915
00:40:15,320 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 3: I thought the world of Marvin Lewis.

916
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I would say so too, but he's

917
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 7: a bit of a victim of his own circumstance. He

918
00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:27,200
Speaker 7: did a great job rebuilding the Cincinnati Bengals, but people

919
00:40:27,440 --> 00:40:30,359
Speaker 7: hung up on those last five years where he didn't

920
00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:32,920
Speaker 7: want a playoff game, you know, and that that hurt him.

921
00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,239
Speaker 4: And he's a great coach. I saw him not too

922
00:40:35,239 --> 00:40:35,560
Speaker 4: long ago.

923
00:40:35,560 --> 00:40:38,080
Speaker 7: He's doing some work in radio, but never got a

924
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:40,720
Speaker 7: chance to lead another franchise, which is unfortunate.

925
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:42,080
Speaker 3: All right, there we go.

926
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:43,960
Speaker 2: Here's Bucket Brooks and Mandy Ferman. And by the way,

927
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 2: did one team really make the right choice that had

928
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:53,640
Speaker 2: so much more? Right here, Fox Football Sunday. Next a

939
00:41:23,760 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 2: Just search Fox Sports Radio on YouTube and subscribe. All right, Bucky,

940
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:29,480
Speaker 2: here we go with You're in the middle of the

941
00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:33,319
Speaker 2: wildcard weekend. It's been pretty wild right there. And it's

942
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:36,920
Speaker 2: funny you mentioned it wildcard weekend because you got a

943
00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:40,160
Speaker 2: big game today. You're in Jacksonville, got Buffalo. So Jacksonville's

944
00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:44,480
Speaker 2: talking about the playoffs. But cities like Cincinnati, Cleveland, and

945
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:46,640
Speaker 2: Kansas City, you know what they're talking about. They're talking

946
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:49,560
Speaker 2: about the draft. They're talking about the draft already. It's crazy,

947
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,920
Speaker 2: isn't it. One does cities that are in the playoffs

948
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:55,400
Speaker 2: that's watching on and the other ones are looking like

949
00:41:55,560 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 2: for next season ready.

950
00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,280
Speaker 3: It's kind of depressing, it really is. At least in Cincinnati,

951
00:41:59,400 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 3: it is.

952
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:04,680
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean like that's just the way of the season.

953
00:42:04,719 --> 00:42:06,719
Speaker 7: As soon as it's over, you start casting your eyes

954
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,320
Speaker 7: to the next season. And the NFL Draft is a

955
00:42:09,400 --> 00:42:12,120
Speaker 7: reality for some people. Folks center draft. Who are going

956
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:14,920
Speaker 7: to be the top picks. We're beginning to already have

957
00:42:15,080 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 7: those discussions on who are the top twenty, the top

958
00:42:18,040 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 7: twenty five, who are the guys that will be first round.

959
00:42:20,280 --> 00:42:22,600
Speaker 7: There's all of those things. So it's a lot of

960
00:42:22,680 --> 00:42:27,160
Speaker 7: fun to speculate on that. So for the teams that

961
00:42:27,239 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 7: are out of it, it's mock draft season. For the

962
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,120
Speaker 7: other teams, it's ring season.

963
00:42:31,960 --> 00:42:34,040
Speaker 2: You have no doubt about that. Okay, I got a

964
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:36,239
Speaker 2: question here. It was a left of a question from

965
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,320
Speaker 2: as Bucky. And you know, let me let me do

966
00:42:39,480 --> 00:42:42,759
Speaker 2: this because it's it's personal, all right, I know you

967
00:42:42,800 --> 00:42:45,720
Speaker 2: can handle it. I want to know what Bucky Brooks

968
00:42:45,719 --> 00:42:48,320
Speaker 2: would command today on the nil market.

969
00:42:48,560 --> 00:42:49,200
Speaker 9: How do you like that?

970
00:42:49,719 --> 00:42:50,680
Speaker 3: I've just thought about that.

971
00:42:53,160 --> 00:42:53,920
Speaker 4: That'd be interesting.

972
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,279
Speaker 7: I would tell you I would probably command something that

973
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:02,520
Speaker 7: would require a buy out, very similar to the Cincinnati

974
00:43:02,640 --> 00:43:05,920
Speaker 7: kid having to pay back a million dollars to Cincinnati.

975
00:43:05,480 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 4: Before we took off to go to Texas Tech.

976
00:43:08,920 --> 00:43:11,360
Speaker 7: But yeah, that's a different game now, Andy, I have

977
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,560
Speaker 7: no idea, but people are paying a lot of money

978
00:43:13,680 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 7: for college kids to have an opportunity to kind of

979
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 7: do their thing.

980
00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:21,120
Speaker 2: And is there a situation like you kind of dreaming

981
00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 2: and say, but man, I wish I was around now

982
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,279
Speaker 2: to play. I could be getting rich quick. I mean,

983
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:29,960
Speaker 2: is there a situation like that? I mean, I'm sure

984
00:43:30,040 --> 00:43:32,240
Speaker 2: that the players that are playing now, even in the NFL,

985
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:35,279
Speaker 2: the ones that played fifteen twenty years ago, are kind

986
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:36,920
Speaker 2: of looking with the Nvcay, well, look at the money

987
00:43:36,960 --> 00:43:39,440
Speaker 2: these guys that are making there. I made twenty five thousand,

988
00:43:39,680 --> 00:43:42,440
Speaker 2: these making about guys making twenty five mili Now, I mean,

989
00:43:43,840 --> 00:43:45,960
Speaker 2: is there a situation like that that goes through your mine?

990
00:43:47,719 --> 00:43:51,839
Speaker 7: I mean, I'm sure like there's opportunities where you look

991
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:54,400
Speaker 7: around and you're like, man, it would be nice to

992
00:43:54,440 --> 00:43:56,879
Speaker 7: play right now, a lot of money they're paying out,

993
00:43:57,320 --> 00:44:00,719
Speaker 7: But that wasn't the timing was I lined up.

994
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:01,960
Speaker 4: But it's great for the players.

995
00:44:02,040 --> 00:44:04,800
Speaker 7: Now hopefully all of them are taking advantage of the

996
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:07,719
Speaker 7: opportunity to come along with the money did they get

997
00:44:07,760 --> 00:44:08,320
Speaker 7: in from Anio?

998
00:44:09,080 --> 00:44:09,400
Speaker 4: All right?

999
00:44:09,800 --> 00:44:13,600
Speaker 2: And speaking of college and college football, tell about Indiana.

1000
00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 2: I mean, I say, once in a generation coach I

1001
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,920
Speaker 2: gotta be. Kurt Signetti is one of those guys. I

1002
00:44:19,080 --> 00:44:23,040
Speaker 2: can't think of five coaches that I could say are

1003
00:44:23,239 --> 00:44:25,640
Speaker 2: once in a generation coach that you'll see and you

1004
00:44:25,719 --> 00:44:28,640
Speaker 2: may never see again. What he has done at Indiana

1005
00:44:29,360 --> 00:44:32,239
Speaker 2: is unbelieved. No one could have predicted that. And I

1006
00:44:32,280 --> 00:44:34,359
Speaker 2: will tell you this much. He's gonna leave one day,

1007
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,560
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. On his own or whatever.

1008
00:44:36,719 --> 00:44:39,040
Speaker 2: Just retire. You don't want to be the guy that

1009
00:44:39,200 --> 00:44:41,200
Speaker 2: follows him. You just don't want to. You want to

1010
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:43,560
Speaker 2: be the guy that follows the guy that follows the legend.

1011
00:44:43,719 --> 00:44:46,279
Speaker 2: He's a legend right now, and honestly, he's got a

1012
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:49,640
Speaker 2: rocket and rolling pretty good. Wins big fifty six twenty

1013
00:44:49,680 --> 00:44:52,600
Speaker 2: two over fifth ranked Oregon the other night Friday night,

1014
00:44:52,680 --> 00:44:56,040
Speaker 2: and the CFP National Championship Game will be there with

1015
00:44:56,160 --> 00:44:59,640
Speaker 2: Miami on the nineteenth. But you know, this guy has

1016
00:44:59,760 --> 00:45:02,799
Speaker 2: just at the tone. And that game on Friday night

1017
00:45:03,120 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: was at the Agelo Ponds. He jumped a passing Laney,

1018
00:45:06,160 --> 00:45:08,960
Speaker 2: picked up Oregon quarterback d't they Moore for a pick six,

1019
00:45:09,040 --> 00:45:11,040
Speaker 2: and right away they're on to the races and they

1020
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,120
Speaker 2: never looked back. It was amazing. I mean they embarrassed Oregon.

1021
00:45:15,239 --> 00:45:19,040
Speaker 2: I mean they they did to Oregon what Alabama used

1022
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,080
Speaker 2: to do to other teams. That's what they did on

1023
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:21,759
Speaker 2: Friday night.

1024
00:45:22,760 --> 00:45:28,120
Speaker 7: Absolutely, it was a very interesting game to watch in

1025
00:45:28,280 --> 00:45:30,600
Speaker 7: terms of how they were able to kind of dominate

1026
00:45:30,800 --> 00:45:35,759
Speaker 7: from the jump, and their domination really showcased all the

1027
00:45:35,880 --> 00:45:38,160
Speaker 7: things that they've been able to do to a bunch

1028
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 7: of different teams. Defensively, they give you a bunch of

1029
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:45,040
Speaker 7: different looks pre snap. They bring pressure from the second level,

1030
00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,080
Speaker 7: so linebackers, safety depth. They're bringing pressure, but sometimes it's

1031
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:51,080
Speaker 7: not a blitz sometimes it's just a four man pressure

1032
00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:54,759
Speaker 7: with everyone in max coverage in the back end. They disguised,

1033
00:45:54,800 --> 00:45:57,400
Speaker 7: they show one thing, they rolled to another. So you

1034
00:45:57,480 --> 00:46:00,520
Speaker 7: have a quarterback and you have an offense of line

1035
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:03,960
Speaker 7: that is tasked with all these adjustments and moving, and

1036
00:46:04,360 --> 00:46:06,400
Speaker 7: that stuff will also the picture changing.

1037
00:46:06,480 --> 00:46:06,959
Speaker 4: It's hard.

1038
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,920
Speaker 7: Then on offense, they executed like a weld orb machine

1039
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,960
Speaker 7: running game. The offensive line dominates you. They can give

1040
00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:17,359
Speaker 7: you a bunch of different schemes that really challenge your

1041
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:20,600
Speaker 7: techniques on defense. And then the quarterback is on a

1042
00:46:20,680 --> 00:46:23,480
Speaker 7: heater man. He is as accurate as they come as

1043
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:25,799
Speaker 7: a thrower. The way that he was dropping dime after

1044
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,480
Speaker 7: dime early in the game against the man covers that

1045
00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 7: Oregon was playing, it really backed them off. It took

1046
00:46:32,000 --> 00:46:35,239
Speaker 7: them a while to understand what Indiana was doing, and

1047
00:46:35,320 --> 00:46:38,719
Speaker 7: Indiana jumped on him so quickly that it felt from

1048
00:46:39,320 --> 00:46:41,960
Speaker 7: early in the game that it was an uphill climb

1049
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 7: for the Oregon Ducks.

1050
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,120
Speaker 2: It's amazing, you know what he was interviewd Atter the game,

1051
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:48,840
Speaker 2: says all the right things. I mean, he's the perfect

1052
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,040
Speaker 2: representative for that program. He's a fifth quarterback. And then

1053
00:46:52,160 --> 00:46:54,759
Speaker 2: the BCS to win both the Heisman Trophy and go

1054
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:57,440
Speaker 2: to a national championship in the same season. Joe Borrow

1055
00:46:57,480 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 2: did it, Jameis Winston did it, Cam Newton and that.

1056
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,440
Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens. And you know, he's one

1057
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:03,880
Speaker 2: of those guys you just feel like you want to

1058
00:47:03,920 --> 00:47:06,200
Speaker 2: root for. But I'm going to ask you this question.

1059
00:47:06,400 --> 00:47:10,120
Speaker 2: I'm thinking, like, what coach, be it football, maybe even basketball,

1060
00:47:10,160 --> 00:47:13,000
Speaker 2: maybe more so in basketball in the college level, would

1061
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:15,279
Speaker 2: be like a generational coach. I'm thinking of Bobby Night.

1062
00:47:15,360 --> 00:47:15,759
Speaker 3: He's there.

1063
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:19,040
Speaker 2: Maybe you're Dean Smith in North Carolina, John Wooden back

1064
00:47:19,080 --> 00:47:22,000
Speaker 2: in the day at UCLA. But I can't think of, well,

1065
00:47:22,760 --> 00:47:26,800
Speaker 2: is there a generational coach maybe in the sport of

1066
00:47:26,880 --> 00:47:28,640
Speaker 2: college football at Alabama?

1067
00:47:28,800 --> 00:47:30,160
Speaker 3: Maybe Bear Bryant.

1068
00:47:30,880 --> 00:47:33,480
Speaker 2: I don't know. I mean, this guy, Kurt Signidti is

1069
00:47:33,560 --> 00:47:35,120
Speaker 2: head and shoulders above everybody else.

1070
00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:35,680
Speaker 3: He really is.

1071
00:47:36,880 --> 00:47:39,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's off to a terrific start of his career.

1072
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,839
Speaker 7: You know, when you talk about generational coaches right now

1073
00:47:44,040 --> 00:47:45,839
Speaker 7: in the collegiate game, I think you have to talk

1074
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:49,120
Speaker 7: a few different people and like their disciples of the

1075
00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,760
Speaker 7: same coach in Nick Saban, I don't think Kirby Smart

1076
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:53,800
Speaker 7: deserves to be in that conversation.

1077
00:47:53,880 --> 00:47:54,759
Speaker 4: Look at what he's done.

1078
00:47:55,400 --> 00:47:58,279
Speaker 7: People rightly or wrongly, will hate this, but Ryan Day

1079
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:01,040
Speaker 7: should be in that conversation given his record and his

1080
00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:05,319
Speaker 7: success that Ohio State has had since he's taken over. Look,

1081
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 7: Dan Lanning has had some struggles, you know what I'm

1082
00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:11,279
Speaker 7: saying when when it comes to the end, but you

1083
00:48:11,360 --> 00:48:12,560
Speaker 7: got to give him a lot of credit for the

1084
00:48:12,640 --> 00:48:16,799
Speaker 7: success that these hats. So generational is different because that's

1085
00:48:16,960 --> 00:48:19,200
Speaker 7: kind of like a one of one type coach, but

1086
00:48:19,640 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 7: their handful of coaches that should be held in high

1087
00:48:22,080 --> 00:48:23,239
Speaker 7: regard at the collegiate level.

1088
00:48:23,880 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 2: I will tell you this much. Dante Moore and he

1089
00:48:25,840 --> 00:48:28,319
Speaker 2: was kind of hyped up pretty good. I don't think

1090
00:48:28,320 --> 00:48:30,279
Speaker 2: he's gonna want to watch that Peach Bowl tape again,

1091
00:48:30,320 --> 00:48:30,919
Speaker 2: I really don't.

1092
00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:32,760
Speaker 3: It was a disaster from the beginning.

1093
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:35,000
Speaker 2: He threw an interception on his first pass and then

1094
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:37,480
Speaker 2: D'Angelo ponzas I mentioned, we turned it for a touchdown

1095
00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:40,200
Speaker 2: and then it was downhill ever since.

1096
00:48:40,280 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 3: I mean it really was. I mean, couldn't get it done.

1097
00:48:42,600 --> 00:48:44,560
Speaker 3: I don't. I don't understand what happened.

1098
00:48:44,560 --> 00:48:46,279
Speaker 2: I mean, and I get it. They had they had

1099
00:48:46,360 --> 00:48:49,040
Speaker 2: locked the run game, which was important but still in

1100
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: all I mean, Indiana came out. You know what I

1101
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:53,600
Speaker 2: noticed about Indiana and you're talking about the pressure out

1102
00:48:53,640 --> 00:48:55,840
Speaker 2: on the defensive start of the ball. They know how

1103
00:48:55,880 --> 00:48:58,560
Speaker 2: to tackle, and I watch NFL teams they don't even

1104
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:00,719
Speaker 2: know how to tackle. They wrapped guy up and you

1105
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:02,560
Speaker 2: tackle from the ankles, and that's what they do. You

1106
00:49:02,560 --> 00:49:04,080
Speaker 2: don't see that a lot. You see a lot of

1107
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,279
Speaker 2: pushing and shoving and grabbing at the shoulder. They know

1108
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: how to tackle, and I think that's great coaching.

1109
00:49:10,120 --> 00:49:10,600
Speaker 3: It really is.

1110
00:49:12,040 --> 00:49:13,719
Speaker 7: Uh yeah, I mean they're a team that is very

1111
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:17,680
Speaker 7: fundamentally sound, like fundamental focus. They do a great job

1112
00:49:17,760 --> 00:49:22,600
Speaker 7: of doing the basic things exceptionally well, blocking, tackling, running

1113
00:49:22,640 --> 00:49:26,200
Speaker 7: to the ball, ball security, making sure that everyone understands

1114
00:49:26,200 --> 00:49:29,360
Speaker 7: their assignments and alignments, and they don't give up cheap plays.

1115
00:49:29,719 --> 00:49:32,320
Speaker 7: Just a well coached team. And it's funny when you

1116
00:49:32,400 --> 00:49:34,719
Speaker 7: talk about practice. He doesn't spend a lot of time

1117
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:37,719
Speaker 7: on the practice field. They're very efficient in what they do,

1118
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:42,440
Speaker 7: but they get it done. How can you how can

1119
00:49:42,520 --> 00:49:45,080
Speaker 7: you hate that? How can you can't look? How can

1120
00:49:45,120 --> 00:49:47,560
Speaker 7: you not like the story that Indiana football is right now?

1121
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:49,160
Speaker 7: No doubt, no doubt about that.

1122
00:49:49,320 --> 00:49:51,799
Speaker 2: And you know what, it really burns me pretty good

1123
00:49:51,840 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: because he was interview at the University of Cincinnati and

1124
00:49:54,680 --> 00:49:56,640
Speaker 2: they took Scott's Sadlefield over him.

1125
00:49:56,760 --> 00:49:59,040
Speaker 3: So, you know, how do you know? I mean, you know,

1126
00:49:59,160 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 3: you just don't know.

1127
00:50:00,000 --> 00:50:01,560
Speaker 2: I really don't. But there was an article in the

1128
00:50:01,600 --> 00:50:03,640
Speaker 2: New York Times the other day and it was written

1129
00:50:03,640 --> 00:50:05,600
Speaker 2: by Percy Aggie Obisse.

1130
00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:07,640
Speaker 3: Have you heard of him? He played for GMU.

1131
00:50:07,719 --> 00:50:10,840
Speaker 2: We played for Signetti there and no, I said, I

1132
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:13,560
Speaker 2: heard him. He said, I played for Curse Signetti. Yes,

1133
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: he's never happy and here's why. And it's a good thing,

1134
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 2: he says. When he took over James Madison at twenty nineteen,

1135
00:50:18,680 --> 00:50:20,919
Speaker 2: I was a junior and one of the older guys

1136
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:22,880
Speaker 2: on the team. I played as a true freshman. I

1137
00:50:23,000 --> 00:50:25,000
Speaker 2: rushed for one hundred yards in my first college game.

1138
00:50:25,239 --> 00:50:27,960
Speaker 2: But when Signetti came, he wiped the slate clean. Within

1139
00:50:28,040 --> 00:50:30,680
Speaker 2: the first two weeks. There was turnovers, guys leaving, guys

1140
00:50:30,719 --> 00:50:32,520
Speaker 2: were coming in. It was kind of crazy to see

1141
00:50:32,719 --> 00:50:34,720
Speaker 2: and players in the team were like, am I staying?

1142
00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:36,000
Speaker 3: Am I going? What's going to happen?

1143
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:38,279
Speaker 2: So he played West Virginia the first game of the

1144
00:50:38,320 --> 00:50:43,359
Speaker 2: season and this guy Percy fumbled the football. Signetti sat

1145
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:45,759
Speaker 2: me all the way until the fourth quarter. I didn't

1146
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:47,879
Speaker 2: play much in the first half of the next game either.

1147
00:50:48,440 --> 00:50:50,840
Speaker 2: Looking back, he says, I respected him for that. That

1148
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:53,120
Speaker 2: brought out a different fire in me. I had to

1149
00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,400
Speaker 2: prove myself to him all over again. I knew I

1150
00:50:55,520 --> 00:50:57,399
Speaker 2: was in the wrong. I had to dig myself out

1151
00:50:57,440 --> 00:50:59,120
Speaker 2: of the hole. In the third game of the season,

1152
00:50:59,360 --> 00:51:02,120
Speaker 2: I scored two touchdowns. The game after that, I scored

1153
00:51:02,160 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 2: two more. I rush for one hundred yards. I want

1154
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:06,600
Speaker 2: to add one of the better seasons in JMU history.

1155
00:51:06,800 --> 00:51:09,800
Speaker 2: That's what Kurt Signetti did for me. He changed my mindset.

1156
00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,200
Speaker 7: Well, what he talked about is what he's describing his accountability.

1157
00:51:15,520 --> 00:51:19,920
Speaker 7: If you are a team that wants to be secure

1158
00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:21,680
Speaker 7: in the ball where you want to be a good

1159
00:51:22,719 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 7: seeing in terms of low turnover, you have to emphasize

1160
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,279
Speaker 7: those things. And when people don't meet your expectations, you

1161
00:51:29,440 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 7: call them out on it. You give them directors, or

1162
00:51:32,680 --> 00:51:34,200
Speaker 7: they suffer consequences that.

1163
00:51:34,760 --> 00:51:38,319
Speaker 4: Help them help remind them of what the task at

1164
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:38,800
Speaker 4: hand is.

1165
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:42,080
Speaker 7: So Kurt Signetti's sitting the kid down for fumbling, that

1166
00:51:42,400 --> 00:51:45,000
Speaker 7: is what you should do if you don't want a

1167
00:51:45,080 --> 00:51:46,680
Speaker 7: team that's going to turn the ball over a ton.

1168
00:51:47,600 --> 00:51:49,279
Speaker 2: I'm going to continue just for a second because some

1169
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 2: people may look at him and think, hey, he's never satisfied,

1170
00:51:51,880 --> 00:51:54,960
Speaker 2: he's never happy, But that mentality is picked up by

1171
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,319
Speaker 2: the players. He said, there were games where I had

1172
00:51:57,320 --> 00:52:00,239
Speaker 2: one hundred yards three touchdowns, and then I go watch

1173
00:52:00,280 --> 00:52:02,120
Speaker 2: the film and I saw I say, I could have

1174
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:04,160
Speaker 2: had fifteen more. You watch on that run, I could

1175
00:52:04,200 --> 00:52:06,040
Speaker 2: have had a better block for my teammate on that

1176
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,000
Speaker 2: How do you like that? I mean, that's an amazing

1177
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:11,480
Speaker 2: situation where you don't hear that from a player.

1178
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:13,920
Speaker 3: And that's what this guy does. He just brings out

1179
00:52:13,960 --> 00:52:14,560
Speaker 3: the best in you.

1180
00:52:14,760 --> 00:52:17,359
Speaker 2: He really does. Now here's the question I have. Will

1181
00:52:17,520 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: he be sought after by other colleges right now?

1182
00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,400
Speaker 7: I mean, other teams are gonna talk to him, and

1183
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,480
Speaker 7: they're gonna try and go after him and try and

1184
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,080
Speaker 7: get to him and those things.

1185
00:52:29,160 --> 00:52:30,120
Speaker 4: But I would say.

1186
00:52:31,760 --> 00:52:36,440
Speaker 7: What he has at Indiana is he has complete alignment

1187
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:39,239
Speaker 7: from top to bottom. He also has the ability to

1188
00:52:39,880 --> 00:52:42,640
Speaker 7: implement his own program the way that he sees fit,

1189
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:48,359
Speaker 7: without interruption, without intrusion. You love that, You're not gonna

1190
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,480
Speaker 7: get that elsewhere, because the bigger the check, the more

1191
00:52:51,960 --> 00:52:54,320
Speaker 7: boosters that you have in it, the more that the

1192
00:52:54,320 --> 00:52:57,560
Speaker 7: boosters are gonna have sway. Sometimes, and I'm not being

1193
00:52:57,600 --> 00:53:00,880
Speaker 7: disrespectful Indiana. Sometimes it's great to be a big fish

1194
00:53:01,239 --> 00:53:03,960
Speaker 7: and a small pond. And right now he is the

1195
00:53:04,040 --> 00:53:06,920
Speaker 7: biggest fish in that pond in Indiana, the.

1196
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:07,919
Speaker 3: Biggest fish in the state.

1197
00:53:08,719 --> 00:53:09,279
Speaker 5: He really is.

1198
00:53:09,480 --> 00:53:13,040
Speaker 2: This is unbelievable. Hey, we we have him, Kurt. Kurt's

1199
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:15,719
Speaker 2: just gotten up. He's got something to say. Here's Kurt Signetti.

1200
00:53:15,840 --> 00:53:17,360
Speaker 2: I don't know what he's gonna say, but let's take a.

1201
00:53:17,400 --> 00:53:18,319
Speaker 5: Listen, Coach.

1202
00:53:18,360 --> 00:53:21,279
Speaker 1: I know you're thinking about the next game. When will

1203
00:53:21,360 --> 00:53:24,239
Speaker 1: you stop and appreciate how special and health his story. Hell,

1204
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:26,759
Speaker 1: I'm really not thinking about the next game.

1205
00:53:26,800 --> 00:53:28,480
Speaker 4: I'm putting about cracking open the beer.

1206
00:53:29,440 --> 00:53:32,319
Speaker 2: I love that. It's after the Oregon game. I mean,

1207
00:53:32,440 --> 00:53:34,680
Speaker 2: that was the last thing I expected him to say.

1208
00:53:35,040 --> 00:53:37,439
Speaker 2: I didn't think he was that, Like, I really didn't.

1209
00:53:37,600 --> 00:53:39,440
Speaker 2: I thought he's just thought saying, like, we're gonna do this,

1210
00:53:39,480 --> 00:53:41,520
Speaker 2: We're gonna go back to practice. Now, look at film.

1211
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,040
Speaker 2: I need to crack open the beer.

1212
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:44,400
Speaker 3: He's human. I love it.

1213
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:47,000
Speaker 2: They say he's not happy, blieve he's happy. He's happy

1214
00:53:47,120 --> 00:53:49,239
Speaker 2: right now. He's one hell of a coach. I mean,

1215
00:53:49,520 --> 00:53:52,839
Speaker 2: and you know what a coach is born. I mean,

1216
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:55,200
Speaker 2: you've coached, You've seen it. You've been around so many coaches.

1217
00:53:55,400 --> 00:53:58,160
Speaker 2: Do they develop that it get better with time? Do

1218
00:53:58,280 --> 00:54:00,919
Speaker 2: they change or is it your personality? And you played

1219
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:03,320
Speaker 2: so many different coaches. You played in Buffalo when a

1220
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:06,719
Speaker 2: guy was a gentleman. He was like a college lecturer, right,

1221
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:08,560
Speaker 2: Coach Marv Levy wasn't he.

1222
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:09,520
Speaker 4: I think he.

1223
00:54:11,400 --> 00:54:14,920
Speaker 7: Look like there's nothing like having a great coach. A

1224
00:54:14,960 --> 00:54:18,680
Speaker 7: great coach teaches you things that extend beyond the playing field,

1225
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:20,720
Speaker 7: and when you round a great coach, you can feel

1226
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 7: his greatness. Well sometimes you don't appreciate it until later on.

1227
00:54:24,800 --> 00:54:27,879
Speaker 7: So whether it was Marv Levy dropping those nuggets they.

1228
00:54:27,880 --> 00:54:32,880
Speaker 4: Used to drop in Buffalo, lev have a cuss. I

1229
00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:35,840
Speaker 4: never called him cuse I never look. I don't even remember.

1230
00:54:36,239 --> 00:54:37,920
Speaker 7: He would get upset, But I never thought he was

1231
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,800
Speaker 7: ever out of control when it came to talking to

1232
00:54:41,880 --> 00:54:45,000
Speaker 7: the players or those things. I would say that what

1233
00:54:45,200 --> 00:54:48,520
Speaker 7: he always was able to do is his his calm

1234
00:54:48,600 --> 00:54:52,040
Speaker 7: demeanor was probably one of his best characteristics, and teams

1235
00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:54,479
Speaker 7: take on the personality you coach, so if your coach

1236
00:54:54,520 --> 00:54:56,960
Speaker 7: doesn't panic, you're less likely to panic.

1237
00:54:57,760 --> 00:54:59,919
Speaker 4: Marv Levy was great and that in that regard.

1238
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:03,200
Speaker 2: I got to ask you this now, because you've been

1239
00:55:03,239 --> 00:55:06,399
Speaker 2: around some big time coaches at North Carolina. When one

1240
00:55:06,600 --> 00:55:09,600
Speaker 2: coach wins and gets all the accolades, is there any

1241
00:55:09,800 --> 00:55:13,520
Speaker 2: envy and jealousy from the other coaches in the athletic department?

1242
00:55:13,640 --> 00:55:16,480
Speaker 2: To me, I would say it's a positive because it

1243
00:55:16,560 --> 00:55:21,200
Speaker 2: gives the school some shining light where other coaches are

1244
00:55:21,239 --> 00:55:23,879
Speaker 2: not doing that. I can't help recruiting as a whole,

1245
00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,360
Speaker 2: but I think there could be some jealousy there, and

1246
00:55:26,440 --> 00:55:28,839
Speaker 2: I think that the former coaches in Indiana right now

1247
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,680
Speaker 2: are probably they're not that happy because they couldn't do

1248
00:55:32,920 --> 00:55:35,840
Speaker 2: what Kurt Signetty's doing on my way off. Based on that,

1249
00:55:35,920 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 2: I don't think so. I think just just the way

1250
00:55:37,840 --> 00:55:38,799
Speaker 2: the human nature.

1251
00:55:38,640 --> 00:55:43,239
Speaker 7: Is, it is human nature, and I would say that

1252
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:46,759
Speaker 7: when you have a very successful or what we call

1253
00:55:46,800 --> 00:55:50,480
Speaker 7: a championship environment, where a championships are then expectation and

1254
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:54,160
Speaker 7: every day year round. Coaches who have won championships or

1255
00:55:54,160 --> 00:55:57,759
Speaker 7: are always in the hunt to win a championship.

1256
00:55:57,920 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 4: It changes how you feel.

1257
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:02,400
Speaker 7: There is a competitive ness that comes out in you

1258
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:06,160
Speaker 7: where you want to be held up in those conversations.

1259
00:56:06,680 --> 00:56:09,640
Speaker 7: Those things are good competition, peer pressure that brings out

1260
00:56:09,640 --> 00:56:10,120
Speaker 7: the best.

1261
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:12,160
Speaker 4: In all of us. If I had my brothers, I

1262
00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:15,320
Speaker 4: would always want to be in a championship environment because

1263
00:56:15,520 --> 00:56:18,040
Speaker 4: that is going to demand more from you.

1264
00:56:18,600 --> 00:56:21,680
Speaker 7: And as you raise your own individual bar raises the

1265
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:24,759
Speaker 7: bar of the team, and naturally, when you get into

1266
00:56:24,800 --> 00:56:27,839
Speaker 7: those championship moments, all of the work that you've done

1267
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,240
Speaker 7: will allow you to eventually hoist the trophy.

1268
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,080
Speaker 3: Okay, you were in North Caroline. Was Dean Smith still there?

1269
00:56:33,120 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 2: I forget?

1270
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:35,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was there.

1271
00:56:35,120 --> 00:56:39,920
Speaker 7: Dean Smith was there for the men's basketball team, Anson

1272
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,080
Speaker 7: Dorrance was there for a dominant women's soccer team. I

1273
00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:48,240
Speaker 7: think Karen Shelton was there, field hockey head back Brown,

1274
00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:52,680
Speaker 7: everyone there. It was the expectation that you were winning titles.

1275
00:56:52,960 --> 00:56:54,800
Speaker 7: And so with Dean Smith being there, he kind of

1276
00:56:54,880 --> 00:56:59,240
Speaker 7: set the foundation for everybody because all of those coaches

1277
00:56:59,320 --> 00:57:02,560
Speaker 7: look to him. It's kind of like bizarre because the

1278
00:57:02,640 --> 00:57:05,920
Speaker 7: way that he led, the way that Carolina operated on

1279
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:09,399
Speaker 7: the basketball, on the hardwood, that was kind of how

1280
00:57:09,680 --> 00:57:10,960
Speaker 7: many of us viewed.

1281
00:57:10,719 --> 00:57:13,440
Speaker 4: Carolina that was the Carolina way. So yeah, he was around.

1282
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:16,760
Speaker 3: Okay, Now the big question is about Indiana. How come

1283
00:57:16,800 --> 00:57:17,440
Speaker 3: it took so long?

1284
00:57:17,600 --> 00:57:18,880
Speaker 2: I'm going to give you a little bit of a

1285
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:21,200
Speaker 2: resume what Signify has done, which I know you do.

1286
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,280
Speaker 2: He's twenty six and two since taking over a program

1287
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:27,919
Speaker 2: that had not won an outright Big Ten title since

1288
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:29,000
Speaker 2: nineteen forty five.

1289
00:57:29,560 --> 00:57:30,400
Speaker 3: That's when you were born.

1290
00:57:30,440 --> 00:57:32,280
Speaker 2: I think. I don't know, but he had just six

1291
00:57:32,360 --> 00:57:35,840
Speaker 2: fowl appearances between ninety four and twenty three, all right,

1292
00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,120
Speaker 2: and in just two years he has totally flipped the

1293
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,480
Speaker 2: ideal of Indiana's potential on its head. And it's no

1294
00:57:42,560 --> 00:57:45,600
Speaker 2: longer a basketball school. It's a football school. That's what

1295
00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:48,320
Speaker 2: he's done. But the question is how come it took

1296
00:57:48,400 --> 00:57:51,080
Speaker 2: so long? How come that couldn't win? Obviously that got played.

1297
00:57:51,240 --> 00:57:53,280
Speaker 2: I know, it's a new era right now because he

1298
00:57:53,360 --> 00:57:55,680
Speaker 2: got a lot of those kids from JMU. And again,

1299
00:57:56,080 --> 00:57:59,440
Speaker 2: how could those kids from JMU compete in the conference

1300
00:57:59,520 --> 00:58:02,360
Speaker 2: that there is? You know, obviously they weren't good enough

1301
00:58:02,400 --> 00:58:04,440
Speaker 2: to go to a big time program initially, and now

1302
00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:07,360
Speaker 2: they're playing it in the NFN, in that Big Ten conference.

1303
00:58:08,520 --> 00:58:12,360
Speaker 7: Because this game is a developmental game and the more

1304
00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,880
Speaker 7: time on tasks, the more focused and attention to detail

1305
00:58:15,920 --> 00:58:18,720
Speaker 7: that you have, the better you can become as a player.

1306
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:22,720
Speaker 7: And because it's ultimately a team sport, a team full

1307
00:58:22,800 --> 00:58:26,439
Speaker 7: of developed guys can beat a more talented team.

1308
00:58:26,840 --> 00:58:28,120
Speaker 4: We've seen Indianna do it.

1309
00:58:28,400 --> 00:58:30,320
Speaker 7: There have been a lot of people that are talking about, oh,

1310
00:58:30,440 --> 00:58:33,400
Speaker 7: it's an older team or whatever whatever you want to

1311
00:58:33,440 --> 00:58:36,400
Speaker 7: describe it. Maybe, but they're doing it with a bunch

1312
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:39,360
Speaker 7: of fourth and fifth year seniors who are executing at

1313
00:58:39,360 --> 00:58:41,400
Speaker 7: the highest level. Even though they didn't come in with

1314
00:58:41,480 --> 00:58:44,720
Speaker 7: a lot of fanfare. Boy, they're going out with a

1315
00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:48,160
Speaker 7: lot of noise accompanying them. It's a terrific story. It

1316
00:58:48,280 --> 00:58:51,360
Speaker 7: is everything that you want young people to see because

1317
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:56,000
Speaker 7: it is a story where you have seen guys get

1318
00:58:56,160 --> 00:59:00,160
Speaker 7: better and better and better and their overall improvement up

1319
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:01,000
Speaker 7: the team become a power.

1320
00:59:02,200 --> 00:59:03,080
Speaker 3: Amazing, it really is.

1321
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:05,160
Speaker 2: And you know, we'd be remiss not to mention in

1322
00:59:05,240 --> 00:59:08,560
Speaker 2: Miami and Mario Cristobal because he's done a marvelous job

1323
00:59:08,680 --> 00:59:11,000
Speaker 2: and he played he played for the Hurricanes right now

1324
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,200
Speaker 2: and he won a national championship.

1325
00:59:13,200 --> 00:59:14,440
Speaker 3: But I think two of them exactly.

1326
00:59:14,520 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 2: And he's delivered the promise of a championship contention to

1327
00:59:17,760 --> 00:59:20,800
Speaker 2: Miami when he came back to coach them. So he's

1328
00:59:20,840 --> 00:59:22,360
Speaker 2: done a heck of a job. I think it would

1329
00:59:22,360 --> 00:59:24,040
Speaker 2: be great. I mean, you got two of the better

1330
00:59:24,080 --> 00:59:26,640
Speaker 2: coaching maybe with the best coach in college football, going

1331
00:59:26,680 --> 00:59:29,920
Speaker 2: against a guy who really was in the shadows, and

1332
00:59:30,280 --> 00:59:34,200
Speaker 2: people were arguing that they shouldn't even be in the playoffs,

1333
00:59:34,200 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 2: and he is. He's there now. So Crystal Ball has

1334
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:38,200
Speaker 2: done a pretty good job too in Miami.

1335
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:42,120
Speaker 4: Yeah. Look, he's done a great job.

1336
00:59:42,360 --> 00:59:45,800
Speaker 7: And he's right there. Jimmy Johnson is right there over

1337
00:59:45,880 --> 00:59:50,680
Speaker 7: his shoulder, dropping some words of wisdom in his ears.

1338
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,560
Speaker 7: He brings his program back. What I would say about Miami,

1339
00:59:53,960 --> 00:59:56,520
Speaker 7: the edge is back. Not the edge in terms of

1340
00:59:56,600 --> 00:59:59,000
Speaker 7: all the silliness that they would have with the penalties

1341
00:59:59,240 --> 01:00:01,760
Speaker 7: and the coyakiness. I would say the edge in terms

1342
01:00:01,800 --> 01:00:05,520
Speaker 7: of the talent and the physicality they get after it.

1343
01:00:05,800 --> 01:00:06,600
Speaker 4: And they are a.

1344
01:00:06,760 --> 01:00:09,880
Speaker 7: Physical team their brand. The physicality is on display each

1345
01:00:09,920 --> 01:00:13,560
Speaker 7: and every week. And what's interesting about how they play

1346
01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:16,160
Speaker 7: man when they take on Indiana, it's gonna be a

1347
01:00:16,200 --> 01:00:18,600
Speaker 7: blood bath because one of the things people don't talk

1348
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:22,000
Speaker 7: about Indiana's physicality and how they wear people down. Their

1349
01:00:22,040 --> 01:00:25,840
Speaker 7: offensive line has worn their last two opponents down, Alabama

1350
01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:28,680
Speaker 7: and Oregon respectively. Miami is gonna have a tall task,

1351
01:00:28,800 --> 01:00:30,560
Speaker 7: but it's gonna be a fun one. This is a

1352
01:00:30,680 --> 01:00:32,640
Speaker 7: great game to watch. I'm excited to watch it. I

1353
01:00:32,680 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 7: would think that Indiana would be the favorite, given how

1354
01:00:35,480 --> 01:00:38,600
Speaker 7: they dismantled the last couple of teams. But the home

1355
01:00:38,640 --> 01:00:41,439
Speaker 7: field advantage, as you mentioned to might be a little something,

1356
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,800
Speaker 7: might be a little something from Miami.

1357
01:00:43,400 --> 01:00:43,560
Speaker 5: You know.

1358
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,080
Speaker 2: I'll leave you at this, and it's gonna be a

1359
01:00:45,080 --> 01:00:47,400
Speaker 2: home field advantage because the game is in Miami. But obviously,

1360
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:49,640
Speaker 2: as you mentioned early on that Indiana travel as well.

1361
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:52,439
Speaker 2: Is there a possibility of a block that Miami will

1362
01:00:52,480 --> 01:00:57,160
Speaker 2: block the ticket sales so Indiana, we've heard that in sports.

1363
01:00:57,200 --> 01:01:00,720
Speaker 2: I mean it could possibly big. I don't know that possible.

1364
01:01:02,160 --> 01:01:05,360
Speaker 7: They can't do it in this because I don't like Look,

1365
01:01:05,440 --> 01:01:08,480
Speaker 7: Miami doesn't control the tickets in this one, even though

1366
01:01:08,520 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 7: they're playing at their vineyard. Yeah, like, so this won't

1367
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:14,320
Speaker 7: be one where they can have a lot of influence

1368
01:01:14,680 --> 01:01:18,680
Speaker 7: or say in how it's done. But there's still be

1369
01:01:18,720 --> 01:01:20,360
Speaker 7: a lot of people around from the U.

1370

Speaker 1: Don't listening to Fox Sports Radio.

1375
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:44,480

1376
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:47,200
Speaker 2: and they meet. That's right around the corner. All right,

Speaker 2: rack dot Com, the way tire buying should be. All right,

1397
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:45,800
Speaker 2: let's get into this for a second, be gus. I

1398
01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 2: say that basically, maybe there was a problem with one

1399
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,520
Speaker 2: football team and it was the firing of a coach,

1400
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,240
Speaker 2: and a lot of coaches got the acts the other

1401
01:02:55,320 --> 01:02:58,880
Speaker 2: day on Black Monday, but the latest one was Kevin Stefanski,

1402
01:02:59,240 --> 01:03:02,880
Speaker 2: and that was bad. He's a two time Super Bowl

1403
01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,800
Speaker 2: with two time NFL Coach of the Year. And I

1404
01:03:05,920 --> 01:03:08,200
Speaker 2: know you were expecting. I asked you last week and

1405
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,240
Speaker 2: you said the fancy was going to get fired just

1406
01:03:10,360 --> 01:03:11,120
Speaker 2: on his record.

1407
01:03:11,360 --> 01:03:13,200
Speaker 3: Is that correct? Because I still think he's going to

1408
01:03:13,240 --> 01:03:14,600
Speaker 3: get gobbled up. We'll get a head job.

1409
01:03:14,640 --> 01:03:14,960
Speaker 4: He will.

1410
01:03:16,520 --> 01:03:18,440
Speaker 7: I mean, it sounds like he's gonna get ahead job.

1411
01:03:18,680 --> 01:03:20,960
Speaker 7: I'm surprised. They just didn't want a lot in Cleveland.

1412
01:03:21,400 --> 01:03:24,800
Speaker 7: And some would say, hey, you know, like that's not

1413
01:03:24,880 --> 01:03:27,000
Speaker 7: as far he needs a hockey deal with that. But

1414
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,880
Speaker 7: for someone who is known as an offensive guru, he

1415
01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:32,720
Speaker 7: cycled through multiple play callers. He would call it to

1416
01:03:32,800 --> 01:03:35,600
Speaker 7: hand in somebody else to take it back, then fire them,

1417
01:03:35,720 --> 01:03:37,440
Speaker 7: didn't take it over, didn't give it to them and

1418
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,400
Speaker 7: didn't fire them. I mean, there's a lot people talk

1419
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:43,080
Speaker 7: about him being a great quarterback developer. They had thirteen

1420
01:03:43,200 --> 01:03:46,040
Speaker 7: different quarterbacks in Cleveland, and what would you tell me

1421
01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,040
Speaker 7: the Browns need to get a quarterback. So for all

1422
01:03:49,160 --> 01:03:51,520
Speaker 7: of the things that people tell me that he does

1423
01:03:51,640 --> 01:03:55,560
Speaker 7: really well offensively, building a system in those things, I

1424
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,240
Speaker 7: don't see enough tangible evidence to say, oh no, no,

1425
01:03:58,440 --> 01:04:02,800
Speaker 7: he definitely should get another swing, another bite at the apple,

1426
01:04:02,960 --> 01:04:06,560
Speaker 7: given what he did on the field for the Cleveland Browns.

1427
01:04:06,920 --> 01:04:09,000
Speaker 2: All right, but you know getting fired's better enough. But

1428
01:04:09,120 --> 01:04:11,760
Speaker 2: their owner of the Browns, Jimmy Haslam, the mane who

1429
01:04:11,800 --> 01:04:15,040
Speaker 2: fired Stefanski, he's keeping the general manager Andrew Berry. All right,

1430
01:04:15,520 --> 01:04:19,120
Speaker 2: And I wonder what closet Haslim has the skeletons hidden.

1431
01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 2: I really you gotta believe that because Barry is the guy,

1432
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:25,720
Speaker 2: basically I believe who ruins Stefanski by making the worst

1433
01:04:25,760 --> 01:04:29,200
Speaker 2: traded in NFL history. All Right, he gave he got

1434
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,400
Speaker 2: the quarterback, Deshaun Watson, and he threw him onto Stefanski's lap.

1435
01:04:32,800 --> 01:04:35,520
Speaker 2: Barry gave the if you remember this one, Berry gave

1436
01:04:35,560 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 2: the Houston Texans to Brown's number one draft picks in

1437
01:04:38,200 --> 01:04:42,040
Speaker 2: twenty two, twenty three, and twenty four, plus a third

1438
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:44,520
Speaker 2: round pick in twenty three, a fourth round pick in

1439
01:04:44,600 --> 01:04:47,560
Speaker 2: twenty four. All right, he probably gave him everything else

1440
01:04:47,600 --> 01:04:49,840
Speaker 2: in the city of Cleveland. He signed Watson to a

1441
01:04:49,920 --> 01:04:53,840
Speaker 2: five year, two hundred thirty three million dollar deal, guaranteeing

1442
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:57,080
Speaker 2: every dollar, which at the time was unprecedented in the

1443
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,480
Speaker 2: history of the National Football League. So one of the

1444
01:04:59,560 --> 01:05:03,480
Speaker 2: Browns gotten from the Deshaun Watson nineteen games and a

1445
01:05:03,560 --> 01:05:06,200
Speaker 2: lot of off the field mess, all right, and there's more.

1446
01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:09,680
Speaker 2: At the press conference the other day to announce Stefanski's dismissal,

1447
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:13,479
Speaker 2: instead of standing behind quarterbacks shud Or Sanders, Barry said,

1448
01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:15,960
Speaker 2: Watson's gonna return to twenty twenty six.

1449
01:05:16,320 --> 01:05:18,000
Speaker 3: Can you freaking believe that?

1450
01:05:18,440 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 2: I guess because of the money they're gonna pay them,

1451
01:05:20,800 --> 01:05:23,720
Speaker 2: the forty six point six mili they still all watching.

1452
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 3: They gotta pay them. They're gonna play them, that's what

1453
01:05:25,600 --> 01:05:26,080
Speaker 3: they're gonna do.

1454
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,720
Speaker 7: Yeah, Okay, So now let's let's back this up, because

1455
01:05:30,160 --> 01:05:33,040
Speaker 7: Deshaun Watson has now become a pariah in the league

1456
01:05:33,080 --> 01:05:36,200
Speaker 7: because of the off the field things that he was

1457
01:05:36,480 --> 01:05:40,120
Speaker 7: involved in. People have turned the other part where people

1458
01:05:40,160 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 7: have turned is the guaranteed money. And for whatever reason,

1459
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:47,120
Speaker 7: fans always signed with owners as opposed to teams and players.

1460
01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:48,240
Speaker 4: But that's what fans do.

1461
01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:52,880
Speaker 7: So he signed a guaranteed contract because that contract was offered.

1462
01:05:52,560 --> 01:05:57,280
Speaker 4: To him from the Atlanta Falcons, and in the negotiation.

1463
01:05:57,000 --> 01:05:58,800
Speaker 7: Which we all would love to have leverage where you

1464
01:05:58,880 --> 01:06:02,080
Speaker 7: have multiple people bidding on our services, he was able

1465
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:06,240
Speaker 7: to secure a fully guaranteed contract for the Browns now

1466
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:09,040
Speaker 7: at the time, Deshaun Watson when he was traded to

1467
01:06:09,080 --> 01:06:12,400
Speaker 7: the Cleveland Browns, Deshaun Watson was coming off three straight

1468
01:06:12,520 --> 01:06:15,680
Speaker 7: Pro Bowl years. His last season in Houston. When he

1469
01:06:15,800 --> 01:06:18,600
Speaker 7: was on the field, he completed seventy percent of his passes,

1470
01:06:19,040 --> 01:06:23,240
Speaker 7: forty eight hundred yards, thirty three touchdowns, seven interceptions, and

1471
01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:25,520
Speaker 7: had a passer rating of one to twelve. We would

1472
01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,000
Speaker 7: all say those numbers are good, right, those are solid

1473
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:31,360
Speaker 7: numbers for a quarterback. So if you're Andrew Berry, you

1474
01:06:31,480 --> 01:06:33,440
Speaker 7: think that you have an opportunity to get a quarterback,

1475
01:06:33,480 --> 01:06:36,320
Speaker 7: a three time Pro bowler who's coming off a career season,

1476
01:06:36,640 --> 01:06:39,680
Speaker 7: and we have a quote unquote quarterback guru who has

1477
01:06:39,720 --> 01:06:43,360
Speaker 7: a system that will seemingly elevate anybody that he touches.

1478
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:45,400
Speaker 7: Why wouldn't you take a chance on that when that

1479
01:06:45,520 --> 01:06:49,440
Speaker 7: becomes available. So my question would be why didn't it

1480
01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:52,320
Speaker 7: work for Deshaun Watson in Cleveland? Was it Deshaun Watson

1481
01:06:52,560 --> 01:06:55,320
Speaker 7: or was it a system? What do we do systematically

1482
01:06:55,440 --> 01:06:58,080
Speaker 7: to help him be a better version of the player

1483
01:06:58,160 --> 01:06:59,400
Speaker 7: that showed up from Houston?

1484
01:06:59,760 --> 01:07:02,000
Speaker 4: All of those things. So we can talk about Andrew

1485
01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:02,840
Speaker 4: Berry and.

1486
01:07:05,040 --> 01:07:08,320
Speaker 7: Indicting him for making the trade, but if you look

1487
01:07:08,400 --> 01:07:11,320
Speaker 7: at the numbers of the player that you were getting,

1488
01:07:11,600 --> 01:07:12,960
Speaker 7: I don't know how we could say that was a

1489
01:07:13,040 --> 01:07:16,400
Speaker 7: bad trade except in looking at hindsight in terms of

1490
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:17,880
Speaker 7: how it hasn't worked out for the Browns.

1491
01:07:17,920 --> 01:07:21,000
Speaker 3: Since why did he have to go for a massage?

1492
01:07:21,520 --> 01:07:24,760
Speaker 3: That's the question. Why did he need a massage? Really?

1493
01:07:26,520 --> 01:07:26,640
Speaker 10: Right?

1494
01:07:27,040 --> 01:07:28,800
Speaker 7: I mean I guess the same thing, the same reason

1495
01:07:28,840 --> 01:07:31,680
Speaker 7: why Robert Kraft needed a massage. I guess there're things

1496
01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:37,200
Speaker 7: that people that men like or prefer in their massage

1497
01:07:37,240 --> 01:07:38,160
Speaker 7: business from some people.

1498
01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:40,360
Speaker 4: But look, he should not be involved in that.

1499
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:43,560
Speaker 7: And I'm not absolving Deshaun Watson for that because like

1500
01:07:43,720 --> 01:07:47,320
Speaker 7: that stuff not only wrecked his reputation, but it impacted

1501
01:07:47,720 --> 01:07:50,600
Speaker 7: multiple franchise it impacted a bunch of players around the

1502
01:07:50,680 --> 01:07:53,960
Speaker 7: league in terms of selling their reputation in those things.

1503
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:57,520
Speaker 7: So he deserves criticism for that. But for the Browns

1504
01:07:57,880 --> 01:08:00,760
Speaker 7: and for whoever we're trying to play blame on because

1505
01:08:00,760 --> 01:08:04,000
Speaker 7: I would say this, Jimmy Haslam was responsible. Jimmy Haslem

1506
01:08:04,040 --> 01:08:05,840
Speaker 7: ponied up the money to get to Sean Washson. So

1507
01:08:05,920 --> 01:08:08,360
Speaker 7: he can't just say, oh, that was all Andrew Barrier

1508
01:08:08,400 --> 01:08:12,600
Speaker 7: or Chemi Stefanski, whatever the organization is involved. And I

1509
01:08:12,680 --> 01:08:15,280
Speaker 7: will say this, and this is why the Browns have

1510
01:08:15,480 --> 01:08:18,680
Speaker 7: to proceed with Deshaunason and play. When you look at

1511
01:08:18,720 --> 01:08:23,880
Speaker 7: the twenty six quarterback class, Fernando Mendoza and nobody else.

1512
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:26,439
Speaker 7: There's no one else that's worthy of being a franchise

1513
01:08:26,520 --> 01:08:30,120
Speaker 7: quarterback selected in the top ten. No one, not Todd Simpson,

1514
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:32,519
Speaker 7: not Dante More, not anybody.

1515
01:08:32,080 --> 01:08:33,519
Speaker 4: Else that could be in the class.

1516
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:36,120
Speaker 7: If we assume that the Raiders is gonna take Fernando

1517
01:08:36,200 --> 01:08:41,120
Speaker 7: Mendoza at one, who's next, Who's left nobody. If you

1518
01:08:41,200 --> 01:08:44,040
Speaker 7: go to the free agent class, you have Malik Willis,

1519
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:48,000
Speaker 7: who has shown improven in Green Bay, but the player

1520
01:08:48,240 --> 01:08:49,840
Speaker 7: that he is in Green Bay was not the player

1521
01:08:49,920 --> 01:08:52,000
Speaker 7: that he was in Tennessee. Are we sure that that

1522
01:08:52,200 --> 01:08:54,439
Speaker 7: player would show back up? If you go somewhere else

1523
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:56,920
Speaker 7: Mac Jones you would have to play for. But I

1524
01:08:56,960 --> 01:08:59,000
Speaker 7: can tell you Mac Jones and Jacksonville is not the

1525
01:08:59,040 --> 01:09:02,040
Speaker 7: mac Jones that we saw in San Francisco. If you're

1526
01:09:02,120 --> 01:09:06,240
Speaker 7: the Browns, Deshaun Watson and Shader Sanders and Dylan gab

1527
01:09:06,240 --> 01:09:07,120
Speaker 7: we're having a competition.

1528
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,600
Speaker 4: Might be the best that you can do given the circumstances.

1529
01:09:10,920 --> 01:09:13,000
Speaker 7: Which is why Andrew Berry had to bring his name

1530
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,519
Speaker 7: up to Rady the fan base for a competition that's

1531
01:09:16,600 --> 01:09:18,759
Speaker 7: ultimately going to happen because they can't upgrade a position.

1532
01:09:19,920 --> 01:09:22,200
Speaker 2: Now, I'm gonna put you on the spot because I

1533
01:09:22,439 --> 01:09:26,000
Speaker 2: love the things that you write on foxsports dot Com

1534
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:29,000
Speaker 2: and the NFL dot Com every week. I may give

1535
01:09:29,080 --> 01:09:32,799
Speaker 2: you here a possibility of a column. Are you ready? Okay,

1536
01:09:33,600 --> 01:09:36,760
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna ask you right now the five

1537
01:09:36,960 --> 01:09:41,000
Speaker 2: most dysfunctional franchises in the National Football League, and I'm

1538
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,880
Speaker 2: gonna give you my mind. I don't know if this

1539
01:09:42,960 --> 01:09:44,680
Speaker 2: is a correct order. I'm just gonna throw them off

1540
01:09:44,720 --> 01:09:46,240
Speaker 2: the top of my head. I'm gonna throw out the

1541
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:50,240
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns the New Orleans Saints, the New York Giants,

1542
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 2: the New York Jets, and the Six Traders. Would they be,

1543
01:09:54,200 --> 01:09:57,720
Speaker 2: in your mind the five most dysfunctional franchises in the Well,

1544
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:01,240
Speaker 2: maybe the Cincinti Bengals too throw the b I.

1545
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 7: Would probably swap to Cincinnati Bingers in the New Orleans

1546
01:10:03,560 --> 01:10:05,040
Speaker 7: Saints because I don't know if the New Orleans Saints

1547
01:10:05,040 --> 01:10:05,760
Speaker 7: are dysfunctional.

1548
01:10:06,080 --> 01:10:09,240
Speaker 4: You don't hear about dysfunction. You may be disappointed, but

1549
01:10:09,360 --> 01:10:10,559
Speaker 4: they played pretty well.

1550
01:10:10,600 --> 01:10:13,519
Speaker 7: I would say Cincinnati is probably more dysfunctional given the

1551
01:10:13,560 --> 01:10:15,160
Speaker 7: fact that they had a first round pick that they

1552
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:18,680
Speaker 7: couldn't get signed. You had Trey Hendrickson, multiple time Pro

1553
01:10:18,800 --> 01:10:21,880
Speaker 7: Bowl and All Pro caliber player who for two years

1554
01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,839
Speaker 7: was trying to get an extension done and they couldn't

1555
01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,160
Speaker 7: get it done. I would say Cincinnati is far more

1556
01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:29,160
Speaker 7: dysfunctional than the things that you're seeing in New Orleans.

1557
01:10:29,720 --> 01:10:31,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they screwed up Big Tom with Jamar Chase

1558
01:10:31,920 --> 01:10:34,280
Speaker 2: because they could have signed them for less money when

1559
01:10:34,320 --> 01:10:37,120
Speaker 2: he was initially looking for money, and they eventually signed

1560
01:10:37,160 --> 01:10:39,160
Speaker 2: them and they signed them for more. I mean, you know,

1561
01:10:39,600 --> 01:10:41,679
Speaker 2: you know, the long year wait, the more it's gonna cost.

1562
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:45,519
Speaker 4: True one hundred percent true all the time.

1563
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,880
Speaker 3: So you are right, what do you think of that?

1564
01:10:47,920 --> 01:10:49,439
Speaker 3: I mean, could you get an off the top of

1565
01:10:49,439 --> 01:10:50,920
Speaker 3: the I mean.

1566
01:10:51,320 --> 01:10:53,240
Speaker 7: Well, no, I think you hit the nail on the head.

1567
01:10:53,240 --> 01:10:57,280
Speaker 7: I swapped out. I put Cincinnati in for New Orleans.

1568
01:10:57,320 --> 01:10:58,840
Speaker 7: But the rest of them you got, like the Giants

1569
01:10:58,920 --> 01:11:02,280
Speaker 7: and the Jets or only dysfunctional. Given the lack of

1570
01:11:02,360 --> 01:11:04,320
Speaker 7: success that those two teams have had, you brought up

1571
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,120
Speaker 7: the Raiders who are having troubles, Pete Carroll and.

1572
01:11:07,640 --> 01:11:10,080
Speaker 4: All the other things that are going on there. I mean, yeah,

1573
01:11:10,240 --> 01:11:11,800
Speaker 4: like you kind of nailed.

1574
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:16,040
Speaker 7: All the bad participants, all the bad apples that are

1575
01:11:16,080 --> 01:11:17,920
Speaker 7: in the bushel in the National Football League.

1576
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:19,639
Speaker 3: There is no excuse.

1577
01:11:19,840 --> 01:11:21,640
Speaker 2: I really believe, the way the system is set up,

1578
01:11:21,680 --> 01:11:23,560
Speaker 2: with the draft and whatever it may be, there's no

1579
01:11:23,680 --> 01:11:25,920
Speaker 2: excuse to miss the playoffs for three years in a row.

1580
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:26,639
Speaker 3: Any team.

1581
01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:31,120
Speaker 2: There's just no excuse. It's set up for you if

1582
01:11:31,160 --> 01:11:33,400
Speaker 2: you're on the bottom to eventually get to the top.

1583
01:11:33,760 --> 01:11:35,760
Speaker 2: That's just the way that. Look at Denver, you know,

1584
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:36,760
Speaker 2: they're right back in the.

1585
01:11:36,760 --> 01:11:37,120
Speaker 1: Thick of it.

1586
01:11:37,240 --> 01:11:40,720
Speaker 2: They really are the Denver you could say, honestly could

1587
01:11:40,800 --> 01:11:43,840
Speaker 2: have a Super Bowl run. They really could. Two three

1588
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:45,760
Speaker 2: years ago you never would have said that. But the

1589
01:11:45,840 --> 01:11:48,080
Speaker 2: way the system works, you get the right people in

1590
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,760
Speaker 2: the right place and the way they go. Bo Nich

1591
01:11:50,880 --> 01:11:53,960
Speaker 2: is not a franchise quarterback, I don't think. But he's

1592
01:11:54,040 --> 01:11:57,640
Speaker 2: good enough to get that team without making mistakes with

1593
01:11:57,760 --> 01:11:59,960
Speaker 2: that great defense to possibly go to the super Bow.

1594
01:12:01,240 --> 01:12:01,439
Speaker 9: Yeah.

1595
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:05,679
Speaker 7: I mean he is doing just enough to be able

1596
01:12:05,720 --> 01:12:07,720
Speaker 7: to get them where they want to go. And you

1597
01:12:07,840 --> 01:12:09,880
Speaker 7: have to like the way that they're playing. You have

1598
01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:13,200
Speaker 7: to like what they're doing in Denver, and that comes

1599
01:12:13,240 --> 01:12:17,360
Speaker 7: down to coaching. Coaching is everything, but beyond coaching, it's

1600
01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:22,360
Speaker 7: the overall alignment from top to bottom, overall alignment between

1601
01:12:22,920 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 7: the higher ups, the management, the players, the coaches, all

1602
01:12:26,640 --> 01:12:28,880
Speaker 7: that everyone has to see the game with the same vision.

1603
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:30,720
Speaker 4: Had to have the same vision for the franchise.

1604
01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:32,360
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about that.

1605
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:35,639
Speaker 2: And it's funny because you know, I hear the stories

1606
01:12:35,680 --> 01:12:37,679
Speaker 2: all the time that had a big meeting. Duke Tobin

1607
01:12:38,040 --> 01:12:40,400
Speaker 2: had an hour and fifteen minutes. I believe he met

1608
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:42,360
Speaker 2: the media for the first time. He never talks. He's

1609
01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:44,839
Speaker 2: had the de facto general manager of the Cincinnti Bengals,

1610
01:12:45,080 --> 01:12:47,280
Speaker 2: and he came out and spoke on Friday, and the

1611
01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,240
Speaker 2: media was there ready to chew him up and spin

1612
01:12:49,320 --> 01:12:52,200
Speaker 2: him out, and he handled it tremendously. He really is

1613
01:12:52,240 --> 01:12:52,439
Speaker 2: a pro.

1614
01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,240
Speaker 3: And you know, he said, we want to do what

1615
01:12:55,320 --> 01:12:56,480
Speaker 3: we've done in the past.

1616
01:12:56,280 --> 01:12:58,479
Speaker 2: And really and truly, Duke, you know you haven't done

1617
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:00,360
Speaker 2: much in the past, you really have and I mean

1618
01:13:00,400 --> 01:13:01,960
Speaker 2: you missed the playoffs for three years in a row.

1619
01:13:02,040 --> 01:13:04,040
Speaker 2: But again, you know, and so many is while you're

1620
01:13:04,040 --> 01:13:06,760
Speaker 2: going to increase the amount of scouts that you have

1621
01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:08,880
Speaker 2: and he said no, he said, we're fine what we have.

1622
01:13:09,120 --> 01:13:11,040
Speaker 2: And I think that was a stupid question because in

1623
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:13,559
Speaker 2: this day and age, you could get all the information

1624
01:13:13,960 --> 01:13:16,920
Speaker 2: you need, you know, via your computer, you really can.

1625
01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:19,080
Speaker 2: You get scouts and they have enough scouts to see

1626
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:21,799
Speaker 2: the play the players in person, but you have enough information.

1627
01:13:22,080 --> 01:13:24,080
Speaker 2: But you know what it's all about. It's all about

1628
01:13:24,120 --> 01:13:26,800
Speaker 2: making the right decision. That's what it's about. It's not

1629
01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:29,880
Speaker 2: about scouting. It's about decision making. And they've made the

1630
01:13:29,960 --> 01:13:32,160
Speaker 2: wrong decisions over the years. He came back at the

1631
01:13:32,200 --> 01:13:34,400
Speaker 2: news conference on Friday and said, well, we made good picks,

1632
01:13:34,439 --> 01:13:36,840
Speaker 2: you know what, But yeah, I could have picked Joe Burrow.

1633
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:38,800
Speaker 2: I could have picked him. You know, he was the

1634
01:13:38,880 --> 01:13:40,720
Speaker 2: number one player on the on the card and I

1635
01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:41,679
Speaker 2: had the number one pick.

1636
01:13:41,880 --> 01:13:42,800
Speaker 3: You know that that's not it.

1637
01:13:43,040 --> 01:13:45,639
Speaker 2: You want to pick players in the rounds three and down.

1638
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 2: That's what you want to do. That's where you make

1639
01:13:47,760 --> 01:13:49,560
Speaker 2: your bread and butter, and other teams do it. In

1640
01:13:49,560 --> 01:13:52,320
Speaker 2: the Cincinnati Bengals for whatever the reason, maybe it's bad luck,

1641
01:13:52,600 --> 01:13:56,160
Speaker 2: maybe it's bad positioning, maybe it's just a bad decision making.

1642
01:13:56,360 --> 01:13:58,040
Speaker 2: I don't know, but they've had bad luck.

1643
01:13:58,200 --> 01:13:58,840
Speaker 3: That's what it was.

1644
01:14:00,080 --> 01:14:01,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, they have had bad luck, and it hasn't been

1645
01:14:02,200 --> 01:14:02,800
Speaker 4: great for them.

1646
01:14:03,000 --> 01:14:04,679
Speaker 7: They haven't been able to get it done when they've

1647
01:14:04,680 --> 01:14:07,240
Speaker 7: had multiple opportunities to sustain.

1648
01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:07,360
Speaker 4: What was.

1649
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:12,600
Speaker 7: A team that appear to have dynastic ambitions, meaning they

1650
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:14,000
Speaker 7: went to the Super Bowl. They should have won the

1651
01:14:14,040 --> 01:14:16,000
Speaker 7: Super Bowl if not for a bad called on Logan Wilson.

1652
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,920
Speaker 7: They should have won the Super Bowl. And it's just

1653
01:14:17,960 --> 01:14:20,639
Speaker 7: a team that is good enough to have been back

1654
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:23,600
Speaker 7: into championship contention, not necessarily meaning they get to the

1655
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:26,280
Speaker 7: super Bowl, but the championship game. There should have been

1656
01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:29,439
Speaker 7: more AFC Championship games. Since then, they've fallen off and

1657
01:14:30,360 --> 01:14:32,559
Speaker 7: there has to be a reason for that. When they

1658
01:14:32,600 --> 01:14:35,599
Speaker 7: talk about the lack of scouts, that's just an organization

1659
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,880
Speaker 7: being cheap. They're just being cheap. I mean, I'm just

1660
01:14:37,920 --> 01:14:40,080
Speaker 7: saying it's not an efficient model that they operate in.

1661
01:14:40,360 --> 01:14:42,960
Speaker 7: They've been able to win in spite of because of

1662
01:14:43,040 --> 01:14:47,160
Speaker 7: the talent, but it doesn't operate like a well or machine.

1663
01:14:48,240 --> 01:14:48,920
Speaker 4: In Cincinnati.

1664
01:14:49,080 --> 01:14:53,360
Speaker 7: There are plenty of upgrades and improvements that they could

1665
01:14:53,439 --> 01:14:57,600
Speaker 7: make to give the franchise an opportunity to have consistent

1666
01:14:57,760 --> 01:14:59,280
Speaker 7: success well.

1667
01:15:00,160 --> 01:15:01,160
Speaker 3: Like a Mama Pop shop.

1668
01:15:01,160 --> 01:15:02,400
Speaker 2: And I think that has a lot to do with

1669
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:04,639
Speaker 2: Mike Brown because he's taking you after what his dad

1670
01:15:04,720 --> 01:15:06,880
Speaker 2: did to late Paul Brown. The way they did it.

1671
01:15:07,120 --> 01:15:09,000
Speaker 2: You know, he's operating like it was in the nineteen

1672
01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:12,280
Speaker 2: fifties and things change, things change, and they haven't changed

1673
01:15:12,320 --> 01:15:13,360
Speaker 2: really with the times.

1674
01:15:13,400 --> 01:15:13,519
Speaker 10: Now.

1675
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,880
Speaker 2: He's got his grandkids there, his granddaughter's in the front doors,

1676
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:18,800
Speaker 2: and they're making some changes. I don't know they're making

1677
01:15:18,840 --> 01:15:22,200
Speaker 2: football changes, but they're making some fan changes. And you know,

1678
01:15:22,280 --> 01:15:25,160
Speaker 2: they're moving slowly into the twenty first century. And we'll

1679
01:15:25,160 --> 01:15:27,360
Speaker 2: see what happens when the draft comes around this year.

1680
01:15:27,400 --> 01:15:29,800
Speaker 2: All Right, He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furrman. We're live

1698
01:16:13,880 --> 01:16:16,280
Speaker 2: the corner. It's about eleven minutes before the top of

1699
01:16:16,280 --> 01:16:17,720
Speaker 2: the hour. And by the way, at the top of

1700
01:16:17,760 --> 01:16:19,719
Speaker 2: the hour, which would be eight am on the East Coast,

1701
01:16:19,960 --> 01:16:23,599
Speaker 2: the wonderful man himself, Mike Harmon Swollen Dome. He joins

1702
01:16:23,600 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 2: Greg Cosell right here on Fox Sports Radio. And of course,

1703
01:16:26,400 --> 01:16:28,400
Speaker 2: so we're live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. He's

1704
01:16:28,439 --> 01:16:30,760
Speaker 2: Bucket Brooks, I mean the Furman and now it is

1705
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:33,960
Speaker 2: time that you've all been waiting for. It is the

1706
01:16:34,160 --> 01:16:37,640
Speaker 2: playing game you ruin me. It's all your fault. No,

1707
01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:38,920
Speaker 2: it's your fault.

1708
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:40,439
Speaker 9: What is all your fault?

1709
01:16:43,960 --> 01:16:45,519
Speaker 3: Maybe it's everyone's.

1710
01:16:45,080 --> 01:16:49,160
Speaker 1: Faults, the liar. That's why there's the blame game, the

1711
01:16:49,200 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 1: blame game.

1712
01:16:49,840 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 3: Let's figure out who to blame.

1713
01:16:52,320 --> 01:16:54,960
Speaker 2: It's your fault, Brandon, it's your fullness of the playing game.

1714
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:55,679
Speaker 2: Let's get it done.

1715
01:16:56,360 --> 01:16:58,320
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, and I know Mark has won. Mark, you

1716
01:16:58,400 --> 01:16:59,680
Speaker 5: want to go first, I'll go.

1717
01:16:59,720 --> 01:17:02,280
Speaker 2: First, So Andy and Bucky.

1718
01:17:02,360 --> 01:17:05,799
Speaker 12: So my question is Trevor Lawrence has a lot of pressure,

1719
01:17:06,400 --> 01:17:10,400
Speaker 12: and then Josh Allen has a lot of pressure. Who's

1720
01:17:10,479 --> 01:17:14,760
Speaker 12: to blame if Trevor doesn't win or if Josh doesn't win?

1721
01:17:16,200 --> 01:17:16,800
Speaker 3: All right, Bucky?

1722
01:17:18,080 --> 01:17:21,000
Speaker 7: Well, Ultimately I think the pressure on Buffalo stems from

1723
01:17:21,040 --> 01:17:23,519
Speaker 7: Sean McDermott and Josh Allen fell in to get it done.

1724
01:17:23,560 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 7: The pressure that they have is there's no Lamar, there's

1725
01:17:26,080 --> 01:17:29,040
Speaker 7: no Joe Burrow, no Pat Mahomes. Can they get it

1726
01:17:29,120 --> 01:17:32,160
Speaker 7: done that way? For Trevor Lawrence is everyone is waiting

1727
01:17:32,200 --> 01:17:34,640
Speaker 7: to see if this a game run that he's been

1728
01:17:34,720 --> 01:17:37,120
Speaker 7: on it's him or if it's just a mirage, and

1729
01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:40,360
Speaker 7: so that if it falters, it'll be ond Liam Corn

1730
01:17:40,479 --> 01:17:43,839
Speaker 7: for deviating from the foreman. So to me, the pressure

1731
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,560
Speaker 7: is on the head coach and the quarterback to be

1732
01:17:45,600 --> 01:17:46,800
Speaker 7: able to get it done for both teams.

1733
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,640
Speaker 2: I will tell you this much, Trevor Lawrence. Right now,

1734
01:17:50,120 --> 01:17:52,240
Speaker 2: the last eight games is playing on an elite level.

1735
01:17:52,439 --> 01:17:54,320
Speaker 2: But I will say this, you want to blame somebody

1736
01:17:54,320 --> 01:17:56,400
Speaker 2: if they lose. The game is falling on the defense,

1737
01:17:56,400 --> 01:17:59,640
Speaker 2: the shoulders of the Jacksonville defense because it ranks as

1738
01:17:59,720 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 2: to run defense in the league.

1739
01:18:01,560 --> 01:18:03,519
Speaker 3: Right and you got thirty one takeaways. You've got to

1740
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:04,599
Speaker 3: agree with me on that book.

1741
01:18:04,680 --> 01:18:04,800
Speaker 9: Right.

1742
01:18:05,040 --> 01:18:05,600
Speaker 3: So I think the.

1743
01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:08,120
Speaker 2: Defense right there, Trevor Lawrence, is gonna give you everything

1744
01:18:08,160 --> 01:18:10,240
Speaker 2: he's got. He's gonna win that game. But you talk

1745
01:18:10,240 --> 01:18:13,040
Speaker 2: about pressure, I think that term is overrated. Once the

1746
01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:14,640
Speaker 2: game starts, you know, you just go out there and

1747
01:18:14,680 --> 01:18:18,240
Speaker 2: play the game. Pressure, you know, it's pressure is waiting

1748
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,400
Speaker 2: for the game, not playing the game. Maybe I'm wrong, Bucket,

1749
01:18:21,439 --> 01:18:23,280
Speaker 2: you played the game. Maybe I'm off face on that,

1750
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 2: but pressure is waiting, it's not playing.

1751
01:18:28,640 --> 01:18:31,200
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, like the pressure is a mirage like

1752
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:34,560
Speaker 4: everybody has pressure on them. You got to perform under expectation.

1753
01:18:34,720 --> 01:18:38,000
Speaker 2: I have pressure here every Sunday with you. I have

1754
01:18:38,120 --> 01:18:40,719
Speaker 2: pressure try to compete with you with your football knowledge.

1755
01:18:40,960 --> 01:18:41,839
Speaker 2: That's my pressure.

1756
01:18:42,040 --> 01:18:44,200
Speaker 3: I worry. I don't sleep well on Saturday night.

1757
01:18:46,080 --> 01:18:47,880
Speaker 5: I have another one.

1758
01:18:49,320 --> 01:18:52,240
Speaker 6: Okay, So the defending Super Bowl champion Eagles host the

1759
01:18:52,320 --> 01:18:54,760
Speaker 6: forty nine ers today who are banged up, and everybody

1760
01:18:55,160 --> 01:18:57,880
Speaker 6: and their cousin and their uncle is picking the Eagles.

1761
01:18:58,040 --> 01:19:01,160
Speaker 5: Everybody you know, right, pretty much? Who would you blame?

1762
01:19:01,320 --> 01:19:03,519
Speaker 6: I know what Eagles fans would say, But who would

1763
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,519
Speaker 6: you blame if the Eagles are one and done after

1764
01:19:06,560 --> 01:19:07,800
Speaker 6: winning the Super Bowl last year?

1765
01:19:08,960 --> 01:19:09,080
Speaker 2: Uh?

1766
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 4: Nick Sirianni, I think it all falls on the head coach.

1767
01:19:12,720 --> 01:19:13,960
Speaker 4: This is a team that Mini.

1768
01:19:13,800 --> 01:19:16,840
Speaker 7: Expected has the talent to be a back to back

1769
01:19:17,479 --> 01:19:21,200
Speaker 7: title winner, and they've underachieved to this point.

1770
01:19:21,280 --> 01:19:22,840
Speaker 4: But they still got a chance to fix it. But

1771
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,360
Speaker 4: if they're wanted done, it's all on him.

1772
01:19:25,640 --> 01:19:27,479
Speaker 2: I'll tell you why I would blame him, but I

1773
01:19:27,600 --> 01:19:30,360
Speaker 2: blame him for another reason. They decided to rest their

1774
01:19:30,400 --> 01:19:33,439
Speaker 2: start players in Week eighteen. Jalen Hurst didn't play, SA

1775
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:36,519
Speaker 2: Kwon Bucker didn't play, a J Brown Jalen Carter and

1776
01:19:36,640 --> 01:19:38,960
Speaker 2: Zach bn I mean, these guys didn't play. I think

1777
01:19:38,960 --> 01:19:40,320
Speaker 2: you got to keep it rolling. I think it's a

1778
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,479
Speaker 2: momentum thing. And I think if you don't play for

1779
01:19:42,560 --> 01:19:45,400
Speaker 2: a week, you get a little lazy bucky. You played

1780
01:19:45,439 --> 01:19:47,000
Speaker 2: the game, am I am? I off based on that.

1781
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:49,479
Speaker 2: I think you got to continue what you have. It's

1782
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,040
Speaker 2: like rolling down a hill, you just don't stop. He

1783
01:19:52,160 --> 01:19:53,920
Speaker 2: rested the players. I think it's wrong. So I will

1784
01:19:53,960 --> 01:19:56,719
Speaker 2: blame Sirianni if they lose. I blame for that reason

1785
01:19:56,800 --> 01:19:58,200
Speaker 2: because I don't think you rest the guys.

1786
01:19:58,360 --> 01:19:59,200
Speaker 3: You just can't do it.

1787
01:20:00,680 --> 01:20:02,280
Speaker 7: I mean, look, he's gonna get a lot of heat

1788
01:20:02,320 --> 01:20:05,240
Speaker 7: for that because they say that the matchup is bad

1789
01:20:05,320 --> 01:20:07,920
Speaker 7: for them because they elected to play the Niners instead

1790
01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:09,679
Speaker 7: of a beat up Green Bay Packer team.

1791
01:20:09,720 --> 01:20:12,640
Speaker 6: We'll see, but they got to get it done all right,

1792
01:20:12,760 --> 01:20:19,080
Speaker 6: very quickly, very quickly. Tyler Loop and Lamar Jackson and

1793
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:22,200
Speaker 6: John Harbaugh. Now there's multiple people that you can look

1794
01:20:22,280 --> 01:20:25,800
Speaker 6: at who is to blame for the Ravens another disappointing

1795
01:20:26,120 --> 01:20:27,559
Speaker 6: season that ended in the loss.

1796
01:20:29,400 --> 01:20:33,360
Speaker 4: Everyone involved. I think they all unachieved. Harbor is a leader.

1797
01:20:33,479 --> 01:20:36,680
Speaker 7: Underachieved, Lamar Jackson not being available, some of that on

1798
01:20:36,840 --> 01:20:39,120
Speaker 7: his own doing in terms of the offseason preparation, and

1799
01:20:39,160 --> 01:20:41,360
Speaker 7: then Tyler Loup not being able to X you when

1800
01:20:41,360 --> 01:20:42,040
Speaker 7: it mattered to most.

1801
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:44,240
Speaker 4: Those three guys all take some of the blame.

1802
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:47,880
Speaker 2: Well, I'll say this, Lamar Jackson obviously didn't play. We

1803
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:50,680
Speaker 2: missed several games this year. But I think there was

1804
01:20:51,800 --> 01:20:55,759
Speaker 2: a barrier between Jackson and the coaching staff and John Harbor.

1805
01:20:55,800 --> 01:20:57,599
Speaker 2: And I think that as good as coach as John

1806
01:20:57,640 --> 01:21:00,320
Speaker 2: Harbor has been and will be again, I think that

1807
01:21:00,479 --> 01:21:02,760
Speaker 2: sometimes it changes good and that's why he's gone. That's

1808
01:21:02,800 --> 01:21:05,280
Speaker 2: the only reason I could think of. Because they expected more,

1809
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:07,200
Speaker 2: They got the talent to do more, and they didn't

1810
01:21:07,240 --> 01:21:09,720
Speaker 2: do that. But again, enjoy the games. We'll see you

1811
01:21:09,840 --> 01:21:13,160
Speaker 2: next Sunday. Harmon and Cosell next right here on Fox

1812
