9
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,479

Speaker 2: Eastern seven pm Pacific kickoff so Tours and Martin have

12
00:00:45,240 --> 00:00:47,279
Speaker 2: something to watch into the wee hours. Other than that,

00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:49,080
Speaker 2: no complaints. J Martin, how you.

14
00:00:49,120 --> 00:00:53,920
Speaker 1: Doing doing well? Man? You're you're preaching tonight, no question

15
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: about that. It's just good to have football back. Yes,

16
00:00:56,880 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 1: it is fake football. Yes, these games student count, we

17
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,000
Speaker 1: get all that. But at the same time, it's just

18
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:06,640
Speaker 1: good to see helmets, dudes out there, throwing, dudes out there, running,

19
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 1: dudes out there catching it. Just Also, it's been just

20
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 1: stupid hot this summer, especially in Nashville. We had like

21
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: twenty eight straight days over ninety degrees, like insane heat

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: indexes around one ten. If you walked outside it was

23
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:25,319
Speaker 1: so humid it was it's just been disgusting. Like so,

24
00:01:25,400 --> 00:01:27,679
Speaker 1: when I see helmets, you know what, I also think

25
00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: of fun, cool breeze. Yeah. Yes, it's gonna be an

26
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 1: absolutely it's gonna be absolutely lovely to wake up on

27
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 1: a Saturday, pop on the games and then be able to,

28
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: you know, go outside with the family and not swelter

29
00:01:40,959 --> 00:01:43,600
Speaker 1: to death or get attacked by these insane mosquitos that

30
00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:45,720
Speaker 1: we've also had to deal with all summer long. By

31
00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:49,800
Speaker 1: uh my youngest, her face looked like she has measles.

32
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, if we take her outside, because mosquitos just

33
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: apparently love her face.

34
00:01:56,320 --> 00:01:58,880
Speaker 2: Is it true? There's a different type of blood that

35
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,320
Speaker 2: more attracts mosquite to some people than others. I don't

36
00:02:01,320 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: know if you've ever heard that's.

37
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,720
Speaker 1: A good I don't know. I'm not I'm not the

38
00:02:04,760 --> 00:02:05,920
Speaker 1: scientist in my family.

39
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: It's okay, Well, if there is a scientist, you should ask.

40
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: So my wife swears she's like, I have sweet blood.

41
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 2: I'm like, what does that mean. She's like, bugs are

42
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 2: more attracted to me. It's a known thing. And I'm like,

43
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,040
Speaker 2: so okay, So I love my wife, and I don't

44
00:02:21,040 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 2: want to stereotype of generalize, but she's a she's an immigrant,

45
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 2: first first generation, and I don't say that in any

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,960
Speaker 2: sort of disparaging way, but she, you know, comes from

47
00:02:29,960 --> 00:02:33,280
Speaker 2: a family of you know, kind of old school medicine,

48
00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 2: old school this, you know, uh, take this thing that

49
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:41,160
Speaker 2: I've never heard of for this particular you know, illness

50
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: or whatever. And so I don't know if that's one

51
00:02:43,320 --> 00:02:47,360
Speaker 2: of like the old school you know, great, is that true?

52
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:48,919
Speaker 1: No, it's a myth.

53
00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 2: It's a myth. Okay, well, I'm.

54
00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: Ai tells me. The idea of mosquitoes prefers sweet blood

55
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 1: is a myth. They are attracted to humans, but not

56
00:02:56,760 --> 00:02:59,239
Speaker 1: the sweetness of blood. It's a medical myth.

57
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:02,000
Speaker 2: Okay, well I'll tell you what. I'm gonna let you

58
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,560
Speaker 2: be the one to tell her that, because I don't

59
00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 2: think that's really going to be a road that I

60
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:06,960
Speaker 2: traveled down.

61
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: Just fix it, Just say, hey, guess what, that's a myth.

62
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,840
Speaker 1: But that doesn't mean you're blood.

63
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 2: Can you just tore down everything for me? I'm sorry, Mary,

64
00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 2: I don't know if your Mike was on Mary, but

65
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 2: Mary saying as a first generation immigrant, everything that she

66
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,120
Speaker 2: learned is No, it's like you have these old school

67
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 2: like family you know, like recipes or not not recipe,

68
00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 2: but like way to deal with health issues that have

69
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: been passed down from centuries. And so this was one

70
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 2: of them that I had never heard when I met

71
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: my wife. But she's like, oh, yeah, no, I have

72
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: sweet blood. I just like you know, and especially this

73
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,920
Speaker 2: time of year, Oh, I can't go outside.

74
00:03:45,960 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 1: You know.

75
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:48,120
Speaker 2: The other thing too, is I just think she doesn't

76
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 2: like being outside like she. You know, I'm the type

77
00:03:50,480 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 2: of person like I could just sit on the porch

78
00:03:52,120 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 2: all night and just you know, drink a few beers

79
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,680
Speaker 2: and sit by a fire. And that's not her. So

80
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: sometimes I think she just makes stuff up as an

81
00:03:58,680 --> 00:04:01,720
Speaker 2: excuse not to be out. But yeah, she's been telling

82
00:04:01,720 --> 00:04:04,640
Speaker 2: me for years she has sweet blood and that is

83
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:08,440
Speaker 2: why bugs are more attracted to her. And I wouldn't understand.

84
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:10,240
Speaker 2: I can't relate anyway.

85
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: You know. It was let me give you, Let me

86
00:04:12,920 --> 00:04:14,760
Speaker 1: give you one thing you can tell her, I like,

87
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: this will this will fix everything. Still, according to Axios,

88
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,520
Speaker 1: mosquitoes probably don't think your blood's sweet, but they might

89
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:22,479
Speaker 1: like your stink.

90
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 2: Oh okay, I will tell her that. You know, I

91
00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: have another thought on that, but nothing negative. She just

92
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 2: wears a lot of perfume. That's all I'm gonna say

93
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,960
Speaker 2: is so that probably doesn't help in the pursuit of bugs.

94
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:35,680
Speaker 2: She smells lovely all the time in case that was

95
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 2: the way that could have been perceived. But I don't

96
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 2: think the perfume helps.

97
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 1: Uh.

98
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: But anyway, speaking of sweet, no sweet, Watching George Sanders

99
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,400
Speaker 2: chuck the ball all over the field on Friday night,

100
00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:49,120
Speaker 2: what a pivot.

101
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 1: Mary.

102
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:52,600
Speaker 2: We were all in front of the TV on Friday.

103
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 2: But here's how it sounded in Charlotte.

104
00:04:54,839 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 3: Shutor play fake looking in Zoe lofting back quarter of

105
00:04:57,839 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 3: the end zone. Bet it is put touchdown Cayden Davis

106
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: and Shador Sanders has his first career NFL touchdown.

107
00:05:10,760 --> 00:05:14,360
Speaker 2: That I believe was Panthers Radio Networks Shadoor Sanders, J

108
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 2: Mart Listen, you know we haven't been on air. We

109
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,880
Speaker 2: haven't been on air since since the game, since Shador

110
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 2: was officially announced as the preseason Game one starter. But

111
00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,840
Speaker 2: you know he needed an opportunity. He takes advantage fourteen

112
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:32,280
Speaker 2: to twenty three hundred and thirty eight yards two touchdowns,

113
00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 2: I have a lot of takes. I happen to actually

114
00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 2: be on air during this game with e from Slam yesterday.

115
00:05:38,800 --> 00:05:42,160
Speaker 2: America has heard plenty of my takes. So your reaction

116
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 2: to what we did see what we didn't see from

117
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:47,240
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders on on Friday.

118
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 1: Night, Well, I saw Kevin Stefanski say, you know, we're

119
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,279
Speaker 1: gonna evaluate him. We look at him like everybody else,

120
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 1: which is fine, and I don't disagree. Just understand keV

121
00:05:58,680 --> 00:06:00,560
Speaker 1: that the rest of the country does doesn't see it

122
00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,800
Speaker 1: that way. The fact that you see that he's like

123
00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: fourth on the chart in terms of who's getting reps

124
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: in practice and all this other stuff. My first thought

125
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 1: was why, And it had nothing to do with him

126
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,880
Speaker 1: doing anything like this would have been had he not

127
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,560
Speaker 1: played a game or not. It's just I don't really understand.

128
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: It's like, how many hoops do you want him to

129
00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,800
Speaker 1: jump through here? Because I still think he's going to

130
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,880
Speaker 1: jump through them. You and I were much more bullish

131
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 1: on him than a lot where we were closer to

132
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,000
Speaker 1: mel Kiper than we were seemingly everybody else that weekend.

133
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 1: We didn't quite understand what all was going on. And yeah,

134
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 1: we've heard some things since, but what we saw at Colorado,

135
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,920
Speaker 1: that's kind of what we saw in that game, at

136
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,280
Speaker 1: least to some extent. Like, yes, I understands preseason. We're

137
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: going to have that discussion in a little while. But

138
00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: at the same time, that's kind of what you wanted

139
00:06:50,640 --> 00:06:53,159
Speaker 1: to see, and it's kind of what you expected to

140
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,839
Speaker 1: see from sheet where Sanders went out there. He's pretty

141
00:06:55,839 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: confident and he made some smart football plays, and that's

142
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: kind of what we got used to seeing in college.

143
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: The narratives and all the other stuff that has surrounded

144
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,440
Speaker 1: him over this last handful of months become irrelevant if

145
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 1: he goes out there and plays football and that's what

146
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: he's doing and he's getting his opportunity. However they've come about, however,

147
00:07:18,920 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: who's sitting out and whatever else. I still believe he's

148
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,080
Speaker 1: going to be your guy sooner rather than later. Is

149
00:07:26,120 --> 00:07:28,680
Speaker 1: it going to be weak one, I don't know. I

150
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: think at one point we might have both thought it

151
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,120
Speaker 1: could have been. But this whole like him fourth on

152
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: the chart and all this stuff, it's just going to

153
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: continue to grow. I think it might be a stair

154
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,840
Speaker 1: step process. Maybe it is going to take a little

155
00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:42,760
Speaker 1: bit more time, but I just don't see a universe

156
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: where he's not going to be able to stand out

157
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: in some way, shape or form.

158
00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 2: So let's dive into a couple of things. So one, yes,

159
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 2: so I agree with you, and I think bigger picture.

160
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:55,120
Speaker 2: I think even bigger picture, the Browns are going to

161
00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 2: probably Listen, I'm not a roster expert, but you know,

162
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,880
Speaker 2: I think they're going to keep probably both him and

163
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:06,840
Speaker 2: Dylan Gabriel because like they have to. They Joe Flacco

164
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,480
Speaker 2: is not an answer at forty years old. Deshaun Watson

165
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 2: is not the answer, even though he's clearly not healthy.

166
00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,840
Speaker 2: So at some point you do have to see what

167
00:08:15,880 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: you have in those guys. Now, as far as Friday

168
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,760
Speaker 2: Night is concerned, a couple things. One, I know what

169
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 2: people say, fourteen to twenty three hundred and thirty eight

170
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 2: yards big deal, Like if you actually watch the game.

171
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,280
Speaker 2: He looked poised, he looked confident. I understand that it

172
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:35,400
Speaker 2: was the preseason. I understand that it was whatever. But

173
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: I think the counter is if he was twelve of

174
00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: twenty eight with no touchdowns and two interceptions, then we'd

175
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,440
Speaker 2: be talking about what an absolute disaster it is. And

176
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,560
Speaker 2: so that I think is The first part is this

177
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 2: notion of like it means absolutely nothing. Well, that means

178
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: absolutely nothing because because like I think a lot of

179
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,679
Speaker 2: people just either want like the people that want to

180
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 2: see him succeed think it means something that people that

181
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,040
Speaker 2: don't want to see him succeed want to tear down

182
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,680
Speaker 2: what he did. I just sit there and say, though,

183
00:09:06,760 --> 00:09:09,480
Speaker 2: it does matter for a few reasons. One, if he

184
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:13,800
Speaker 2: was an absolute disaster as a fifth round pick, fourth

185
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 2: on the depth chart, honestly, he might not get another chance.

186
00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:22,520
Speaker 2: And so one it matters because of that. Two, it

187
00:09:22,720 --> 00:09:25,320
Speaker 2: just matters because he did get a chance. Period. And

188
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:26,839
Speaker 2: this is where a little bit of you know, the

189
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 2: backstory on working with Ephim last night. You know, Ephram

190
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 2: has a fascinating story himself, and I you know, people

191
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 2: could go back and listen to yesterday's odd Couple if

192
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:37,839
Speaker 2: they want to hear it. But Ephraim was a seventh

193
00:09:37,920 --> 00:09:40,559
Speaker 2: round pick, and he told the story on air yesterday

194
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,240
Speaker 2: of going into the going into training camp. I think

195
00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 2: he was the fourth or fifth string, you know, one

196
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 2: of the tackles. There's a couple injuries, a couple guys

197
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,760
Speaker 2: get cut, and it basically came down to his final

198
00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 2: preseason game of you know, if you perform here, you're

199
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,560
Speaker 2: gonna be our Week one starter, and if you don't,

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,280
Speaker 2: you might not be on this team. And so I

201
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,680
Speaker 2: just bring it up because roster spots are one and

202
00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 2: lost in the preseason. If it didn't work out, and

203
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,280
Speaker 2: if he looked bad, that would have been an easy

204
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,839
Speaker 2: opportunity where if the Browns were looking for a reason

205
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: to get rid of him, they would have had the opportunity.

206
00:10:15,160 --> 00:10:18,040
Speaker 2: And I think most importantly two other quick things Jamarkus,

207
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 2: I know I'm going a long one. I think it's

208
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:25,400
Speaker 2: it's enough where the Browns have to kind of see

209
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,880
Speaker 2: where this thing goes, because again, they don't have anyone else.

210
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 2: It's not like if the I don't know, you know,

211
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 2: like the Jalen Milroe situation in Seattle. I know Jalen

212
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:39,199
Speaker 2: Milroe was a second third round pick, not a fifth

213
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:44,160
Speaker 2: round pick, but like you know it like he played

214
00:10:44,160 --> 00:10:47,040
Speaker 2: well enough where I think they have to keep seeing

215
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 2: what they have in him because they do not have

216
00:10:50,160 --> 00:10:54,200
Speaker 2: a legitimate better option long term big picture. Maybe he's

217
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: not the better answer long term big picture, but he

218
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,320
Speaker 2: showed enough where he could be And I thinks and

219
00:11:00,559 --> 00:11:02,160
Speaker 2: I'll be quick because I know I'm going along here.

220
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: He's got good tape now, and that matters because if

221
00:11:05,800 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 2: for some reason the Browns decide that they don't like him,

222
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:11,240
Speaker 2: or that they're not whatever, whatever the scenario is, he

223
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 2: showed that he's capable, and I think in theory he

224
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 2: would get another chance. But I don't think the Brown's

225
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 2: getting rid of it. So everyone that says it doesn't

226
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: matter it's only the preseason, it actually matters a lot.

227
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:26,360
Speaker 2: Even if you know, I whatever, I've said enough, j Mart,

228
00:11:26,360 --> 00:11:28,040
Speaker 2: But I think there's there's a lot for you to

229
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 2: react to there.

230
00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:32,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I agree with virtually everything that you said,

231
00:11:32,360 --> 00:11:34,959
Speaker 1: and I agree with what he from Salam said to

232
00:11:34,960 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: to a point. Okay, I haven't gone and listened to it,

233
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: but I'm gonna go back after the show and listen

234
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: to it because I want to hear the story because

235
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,320
Speaker 1: I have something similar in that My old broadcast partner,

236
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:49,320
Speaker 1: Ramon Foster, was undrafted coming out of Tennessee, and he

237
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,640
Speaker 1: told us many many times about how every year he

238
00:11:52,679 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 1: felt like he had to go win his job again,

239
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 1: even though he was a starter for so many years

240
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, that every single year he always felt that way.

241
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,280
Speaker 1: So you talk about e from Salam being a seventh

242
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,640
Speaker 1: round draft pick, and we're talking about shud Or Sanders

243
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: who had that precipitous fall that we're probably going to

244
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,840
Speaker 1: see in a documentary one day, just as an example.

245
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: So here's where I disagree in terms of the statement.

246
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,200
Speaker 1: It's just that it can't be a blanket statement. Okay,

247
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:22,840
Speaker 1: it's not that it doesn't matter at all. It's that

248
00:12:23,200 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 1: it depends on who you are and what your level

249
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:29,480
Speaker 1: of job security is. What your level of security is there,

250
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:34,440
Speaker 1: your point about the tape is perfect, Like that's exactly right.

251
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,240
Speaker 1: If you are kind of on that borderline, then you

252
00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,200
Speaker 1: are trying to show other teams, hey, come pick me

253
00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,840
Speaker 1: up if they drop me, because they might right that

254
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: it might be a team that's just too stacked at

255
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: one position. But I got some talent I can come

256
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,360
Speaker 1: help you out. So all those things matter. But ultimately,

257
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,240
Speaker 1: what the preseason comes down to Erin is about seven

258
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:57,800
Speaker 1: somewhere around seven spots that are still up for grabs,

259
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,040
Speaker 1: and most of everything else is figured out. Like, yes,

260
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:03,120
Speaker 1: maybe you can go up or down the depth chart,

261
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 1: but it can't be a blanket statement because if it

262
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 1: were important to everybody. If it didn't hold water, if

263
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,000
Speaker 1: the idea that the preseason didn't matter didn't hold water

264
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: with any NFL player, then they would all participate in it.

265
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 1: And most of them don't because they're already pretty secure

266
00:13:18,240 --> 00:13:23,280
Speaker 1: in their jobs. But Ramon Foster, ephrom Salaam, even Shude

267
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: or Sanders because of where he was drafted, it's a

268
00:13:25,559 --> 00:13:30,160
Speaker 1: different story there, and they have a completely different mental

269
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,240
Speaker 1: feeling about the preseason and just about football in general

270
00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: because their road was so much different. So I think

271
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: that there's truth to be sure in what Ephraim is

272
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:45,200
Speaker 1: saying and what my old broadcast partner had said to

273
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 1: me at many, many times about his experience in Pittsburgh.

274
00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,079
Speaker 1: But I don't know that it's true all the way

275
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,880
Speaker 1: across the board. But certainly for those guys that are borderline,

276
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: those guys that might get cut and as you mentioned,

277
00:13:57,360 --> 00:14:00,000
Speaker 1: might be a starter or might be on the breadline

278
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: looking for another job somewhere in the NFL, Yes, the

279
00:14:03,679 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: preseason means absolutely everything. And you know that because if

280
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: you watch Hard Knocks, you're seeing intentionally a few of

281
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:13,679
Speaker 1: those players, those guys that you're not sure, and they

282
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: give you a little bit of their personality, so maybe

283
00:14:15,640 --> 00:14:17,480
Speaker 1: you root for them, but you still don't know, And

284
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:20,400
Speaker 1: so you're watching the preseason games with a little bit

285
00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:24,480
Speaker 1: more interest because their performance matters so much and locally

286
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: if you have a team, and I covering the Titans

287
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 1: as long as I did, you know, I saw this

288
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: every single year there would be two three guys, whether

289
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: they were draftees or guys that have been brought in

290
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,720
Speaker 1: or walk the guys that had just kind of shown

291
00:14:37,760 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: up to the facility and been part of it all

292
00:14:39,160 --> 00:14:42,640
Speaker 1: of a sudden like that would they would just kind

293
00:14:42,640 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: of capture the fan base and the van base would

294
00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: get super excited about everything that they did and said, man,

295
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,240
Speaker 1: he's got to make this team, Mason Kinsey, Man, he's

296
00:14:51,280 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: got to make this team. Just as one example of

297
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 1: these guys. And it's just like, no, that's not how

298
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 1: it works, and the preseason is not is not going

299
00:14:58,320 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: to be reflective of whether or not the this guy

300
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,560
Speaker 1: is gonna make the team. But ultimately, yes, good tape

301
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:07,320
Speaker 1: and for a guy that is just right there on

302
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: that border like in it from Salaam, one hundred percent

303
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 1: agree with that. I just think you can't go so

304
00:15:12,240 --> 00:15:14,960
Speaker 1: far as to say the preseason matters across the board,

305
00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:16,240
Speaker 1: because clearly it doesn't.

306
00:15:16,560 --> 00:15:18,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, And all I'll say is, and I think this

307
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 2: is the benefit for Schador and this is something we

308
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 2: talked about dating back to draft night, is he is

309
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:28,760
Speaker 2: in a spot where there is an opportunity for him.

310
00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 2: There are, as you said, there's only a couple of

311
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:34,560
Speaker 2: spots that are actually available every training camp. But he

312
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,920
Speaker 2: is in a spot at a place, at a position

313
00:15:38,640 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 2: that if he thrives, he could in theory get one

314
00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,000
Speaker 2: of those final spots, you know. So like I'm just

315
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:51,160
Speaker 2: looking as an example at last night's Atlanta Detroit box score, Okay,

316
00:15:51,400 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 2: And I want to bring it up because we know

317
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:56,400
Speaker 2: the Atlanta quarterback situation maybe a little too well. Michael Pennix,

318
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,520
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins. They also have, as de Seger called him

319
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 2: last night, former Chargers preseason quarterback Easton Stick. That is,

320
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 2: you know, basically a guy who's a good locker room guy.

321
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,360
Speaker 2: He's been around forever. He's you know, been in the

322
00:16:10,440 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 2: league for about seven years now, great locker room guy.

323
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 2: Then they started a rookie, or they didn't start. They

324
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,160
Speaker 2: played a rookie named Emery Jones, and I only bring

325
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 2: up Emery Jones because they already have three established quarterbacks

326
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: there and I know the Cousins situation is weird, but

327
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:31,200
Speaker 2: it's like there's pretty much nothing Emery Jones can do

328
00:16:32,040 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: to find his way into one of those three spots

329
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:37,280
Speaker 2: on the roster. And I don't know what that means

330
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,280
Speaker 2: for the bigger picture of his career, but it's just

331
00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:42,600
Speaker 2: that's an example of like a spot where yeah, it's

332
00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 2: all well and good and you know whatever, but no

333
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 2: matter what he does, he's probably not getting one of

334
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 2: those spots because to your point, Jamrt, there isn't a

335
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 2: spot at that position on that team, and so the

336
00:16:53,960 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: only thing with Shadoor is that there is opportunity on

337
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 2: that team at that specific position. And it kind of

338
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,120
Speaker 2: put a bow on my thought on Shador is that again,

339
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: I think it's one of those situations where he could

340
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:11,399
Speaker 2: have played himself out of the conversation proved that he

341
00:17:11,680 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: didn't deserve one of those roster spots. But in my opinion,

342
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,919
Speaker 2: I know, the stats don't look overwhelming, but if you

343
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,400
Speaker 2: watch the game, and I know you did, jam Mart,

344
00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 2: I'm just saying for the public in general, the stats

345
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:24,240
Speaker 2: don't look overwhelming, But I think he played well enough

346
00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,600
Speaker 2: where the Browns have to sit there and think there's

347
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:29,399
Speaker 2: the potential that we have something, and they're going to

348
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:31,159
Speaker 2: kind of continue to see exactly what they have over

349
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: the next couple weeks.

350
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:34,600
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don't really have anything to add there. I

351
00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:36,960
Speaker 1: just I agree. I mean, I think that's exactly right,

352
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:38,760
Speaker 1: and I think that the point that you made is

353
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:44,880
Speaker 1: exactly accurate that in his position, he had the ability

354
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: to either sink or swim. Essentially, like, if you go

355
00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: out there and your perform, then you're going to get

356
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:54,240
Speaker 1: another shot. If you don't, you might just kind of

357
00:17:54,280 --> 00:17:56,919
Speaker 1: confirm some other things about you and then you just

358
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,480
Speaker 1: kind of fade off for a while and you aren't

359
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:01,919
Speaker 1: talked about. This not only keeps him in the conversation,

360
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 1: but it kind of again starts to turn that narrative

361
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:07,480
Speaker 1: back to the Shador that we were talking about a

362
00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:09,520
Speaker 1: year ago as opposed to the one we were talking

363
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: about four months ago.

364
00:18:12,359 --> 00:18:15,840
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Shador Sanders, as we said, fourteen of twenty three

365
00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:20,040
Speaker 2: two touchdown passes in his debut. For what it's worth, again,

366
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:22,399
Speaker 2: I know preseason is that everything, but the Browns do

367
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:25,320
Speaker 2: get the win in Shudor sant the other thing to

368
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:27,360
Speaker 2: j Martin really quick, and we'll get we'll come back,

369
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,159
Speaker 2: we'll do some other stuff like e from brought this

370
00:18:30,280 --> 00:18:33,400
Speaker 2: up with such a good point. Only game of only

371
00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:37,679
Speaker 2: time I've ever seen fans in the stands with a

372
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:42,119
Speaker 2: fifth rounders jersey, that's one, and it was in the

373
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: opposing venue, Like you know, I had the you know,

374
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,320
Speaker 2: I was hosting in this moment, so you're not really

375
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:50,240
Speaker 2: paying attention, like, oh, there's a lot of Shadore jerseys

376
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:54,119
Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, the game is in Carolina and

377
00:18:54,200 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 2: people are wearing Shadoor Browns jersey. So it shows you

378
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,199
Speaker 2: the impact that he has and it's show you know.

379
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:01,320
Speaker 2: And I'll just say this will be a little bit

380
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 2: of a negative to kind of end this segment. But

381
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 2: this is why I think a lot of teams didn't

382
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 2: want to take him as the backup quarterback because they

383
00:19:08,600 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 2: know how popular he is, how famous he is, and

384
00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:15,080
Speaker 2: you know, there's a lot that comes with him. Good

385
00:19:15,119 --> 00:19:17,880

Speaker 2: Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. One quick correction from

414
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,159
Speaker 2: last segment. I think I said Panthers Radio Network on

415
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:57,480
Speaker 2: the Shador Sanders touchdown pass call. It was actually, and

416
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:01,119
Speaker 2: if you were listening, makes sense, it was Brown's Radio Network.

417
00:21:01,160 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 2: That crew was very excited with Shdor Sanders.

418
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: Define we sounded more home cooking than me. Yeah.

419
00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:09,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably should have just used some common sense there,

420
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:14,080
Speaker 2: but it was Brown's Radio Network there really quickly J Martin,

421
00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 2: you know, in addition to Schador Sanders, a couple guys

422
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:23,080
Speaker 2: either making career debuts or debuts in new places, whatever,

423
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:24,920
Speaker 2: just kind of want to rip through a couple just

424
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 2: kind of get your perspective and you know, share my

425
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 2: own of course on just what to expect, what everything

426
00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,720
Speaker 2: going into a season. Just some guys that play throughout

427
00:21:34,720 --> 00:21:38,720
Speaker 2: the day today. I do want to start in your hometown, Tennessee.

428
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:42,720
Speaker 2: Titans were in Tampa. We did get one series of

429
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:45,240
Speaker 2: cam Ward, a couple series cam Ward five of eight

430
00:21:45,400 --> 00:21:51,200
Speaker 2: passing sixty seven yards passing did lead a touchdown drive,

431
00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: although it was not a touchdown pass. I'd just be curious,

432
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:00,200
Speaker 2: you know, you you live in Tennessee. The what's the

433
00:22:00,240 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 2: right what's the right word? The uh returns early. Everybody

434
00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:05,880
Speaker 2: seems to be happy with the band. I just want

435
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 2: what is the perspective? What? What is what is the

436
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,320
Speaker 2: buzz around cam Ward right now?

437
00:22:10,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 1: In town? I don't listen to local media here anymore,

438
00:22:14,119 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: but I would say that my thoughts on cam Ward

439
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:23,560
Speaker 1: are probably similar to most, which is, I can't tell

440
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:26,800
Speaker 1: you how high I think his ceiling is. I'm not sure.

441
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm really not sure, but I don't think he is

442
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,680
Speaker 1: one of those guys where the floor is the core

443
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,879
Speaker 1: of the earth, you know. Like, I think he's gonna

444
00:22:35,920 --> 00:22:39,400
Speaker 1: be pretty good. That's that's that's kind of just baseline.

445
00:22:39,480 --> 00:22:42,520
Speaker 1: I know that's not that's sort of lukewarm. But at

446
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,439
Speaker 1: the same time, I just I think he can play.

447
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:47,760
Speaker 1: Do I think he's gonna be all world? I really

448
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: I would probably say no, but I'm not one hundred

449
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:53,720
Speaker 1: percent sure. We'll see, but I think he's going to

450
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: be better than serviceable, if that makes any sense. So

451
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,359
Speaker 1: I mean, you don't get a lot at a five

452
00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:01,040
Speaker 1: of five of eight for sixty seven yards. He did

453
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: hit Calvin Ridley three times on that drive, and what

454
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,200
Speaker 1: you have heard, at least what I've read, is that

455
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:11,280
Speaker 1: he and Ridley have had a really good connection already,

456
00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,040
Speaker 1: and that's a positive for sure for him. But I mean,

457
00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's terribly surprised if you watched his

458
00:23:17,520 --> 00:23:19,919
Speaker 1: act over the last couple of years. I just I

459
00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,359
Speaker 1: think he's a very competent football player that's going to

460
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:24,200
Speaker 1: go in there and do some good things. I don't

461
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:27,520
Speaker 1: know that we're watching Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow,

462
00:23:27,600 --> 00:23:30,600
Speaker 1: somebody like that, and him being a number one pick,

463
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,680
Speaker 1: you know, you start to compare him against some of

464
00:23:32,760 --> 00:23:35,159
Speaker 1: those guys. That's unfair to do. I don't know how

465
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:37,000
Speaker 1: good the football team around him is either. I think

466
00:23:37,040 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: they're going to be better than they were last year,

467
00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:42,480
Speaker 1: but that's that's a low bar to clear. But at

468
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 1: the same time, I think that I think it's progress.

469
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: I think it's better than what they had, and I

470
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: think that he is likely to, you know, make them

471
00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:55,360
Speaker 1: worth watching again, which they haven't been in a couple

472
00:23:55,440 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: of seasons.

473
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was gonna actually ask you real quick. I

474
00:23:57,920 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: don't want to turn this into a Titan segment because

475
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 2: I do want to go to some other guys. But

476
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,520
Speaker 2: I was just curious how bad exactly is the roster

477
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:09,680
Speaker 2: around him. And I only bring it up because we

478
00:24:09,720 --> 00:24:11,960
Speaker 2: know that they just cut Traylon Burks, who was just

479
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: a first round pick a couple of years ago, and

480
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:17,920
Speaker 2: they were obviously in position to get the number one

481
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:21,840
Speaker 2: overall pick. Is it as bad as I think it is?

482
00:24:21,880 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 2: It's not good, Yeah, because number one overall pick, and

483
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 2: you know, a guy on the tail end of a

484
00:24:28,359 --> 00:24:30,680
Speaker 2: rookie deal that in theory would be one of your

485
00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:34,280
Speaker 2: few bright young stars just got cut after an injury.

486
00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 2: It just feels like it's not in a great place

487
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:37,119
Speaker 2: right now.

488
00:24:37,440 --> 00:24:39,639
Speaker 1: So look, John Robinson when he lost his job as

489
00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: a general manager, you know, there was definitely some handwringing

490
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: there and had to do with AJ Brown going to

491
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:46,919
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and just kind of a knee jerk reaction I

492
00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: felt like from the front office. But at the same time,

493
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: what you mentioned is right, and Traylon Burke's who got cut,

494
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: he hadn't been able to stay healthy at any point

495
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:57,240
Speaker 1: in his career, and you found out he was he

496
00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:00,480
Speaker 1: had some shape issues and some asthma issues back at Arkansas. Okay,

497
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,439
Speaker 1: I think it was the year before Caleb Farley was

498
00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:07,960
Speaker 1: a first round draft pick for the Tennessee Titans. Caleb Farley,

499
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:11,120
Speaker 1: who had dealt with some serious injuries at Virginia Tech.

500
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: Uh couldn't stay on the field. Uh couldn't stay on

501
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,080
Speaker 1: the field in the NFL, and wasn't good when he

502
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,199
Speaker 1: was there. So they blew multiple first round draft picks

503
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:22,760
Speaker 1: in a row. The only reason I mentioned all that

504
00:25:22,840 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: is not to give you Tennessee Titans history, but to

505
00:25:25,200 --> 00:25:28,920
Speaker 1: explain they're playing from behind when it comes to roster construction.

506
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:30,960
Speaker 1: They paid a lot of money for Bud DePree. He

507
00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: played pretty well, but obviously that didn't end up moving

508
00:25:33,560 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 1: the needle for them. Overall. They used to have Deniko Watcher,

509
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: who I thought was really good next to Jeff Simmons.

510
00:25:38,280 --> 00:25:41,280
Speaker 1: They of course don't have him now they do have

511
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,639
Speaker 1: some young guys, but you love, I mean, look at

512
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 1: what Mike Vrabel's done. He took Harold Landry, so Landry's

513
00:25:45,840 --> 00:25:48,239
Speaker 1: now in New England Patriot. So you look at all

514
00:25:48,320 --> 00:25:50,120
Speaker 1: of those factors and then you look at the rest

515
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 1: of that division, they're they're par for the course, right,

516
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,240
Speaker 1: I mean there there is, They're just there's just holes

517
00:25:56,280 --> 00:25:59,639
Speaker 1: everywhere that need to be filled, and you've got them

518
00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 1: on both sides of the football. At the very least,

519
00:26:01,880 --> 00:26:03,960
Speaker 1: if you can find a quarterback that puts you in

520
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: the conversation again, and maybe they have, maybe they have.

521
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,000
Speaker 1: I think that the jury is out. But at the

522
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 1: same time, I'm more optimistic about that than you know,

523
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 1: maybe some people nationally that haven't gotten to watch cam

524
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 1: Ward at all or didn't pay attention to what he

525
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 1: did in college. But your take on it, I think

526
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:24,520
Speaker 1: is accurate. It's not a I wouldn't say it's a

527
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,359
Speaker 1: bear cupboard, but it's definitely one where if you had

528
00:26:27,359 --> 00:26:29,600
Speaker 1: to empty the dishwasher, you could fit them all in

529
00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,119
Speaker 1: that cupboard. Like you have plenty of room there, but

530
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: you might have three or four cups in there already.

531
00:26:34,640 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 2: Tell you what, I do want to get to some

532
00:26:36,280 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 2: other guys making their debuts this weekend in the preseason

533
00:26:40,800 --> 00:26:45,000
Speaker 2: before we do. Though, speaking of guys, speaking of preseason,

534
00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:49,920
Speaker 2: Steve de Sager coming straight from Sofi Stadium, you.

Speaker 1: A fu drive.

539
00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, now, I'm not impressed. I thought,

540
00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 2: you know, I thought you were shoving. I retract my compliment. Yeah,

541
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:06,800
Speaker 2: I thought you were the one that ran over Ceede

542
00:27:06,840 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 2: Lamb on your way to the studio. I guess I

543
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,000
Speaker 2: guess that that wasn't you. Okay, get to know.

544
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:13,639
Speaker 6: Deserve a flag on that too. By the way, the

545
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,600

Speaker 6: game tonight, he hasn't even practiced once in training camp

554
00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 6: because of a bad back. The plan was to have

555
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 6: a workout earlier in the day, and his coach says

556
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 6: there were no limitations in that workout today and quote,

557
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,240

618
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:03,160
Speaker 2: Very limited playing time for JJ McCarthy overall, four of

619
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: seven passing thirty yards, so about four and a half

620
00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,320
Speaker 2: yards per completion. Kind of sounds like his Michigan career.

621
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: But yeah, but that's like if he played all four quarters.

622
00:31:13,040 --> 00:31:16,280
Speaker 2: Yes, but also like his Michigan career. They won in

623
00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,320
Speaker 2: a very Michigan twenty to ten final score. We're being

624
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:23,239
Speaker 2: a little bit sarcastic here, but JJ McCarthy, you know,

625
00:31:23,280 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 2: he did our NFC North preview a few weeks ago.

626
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 2: I think we both had Minnesota going over their win total.

627
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 2: But JJ McCarthy, obviously, you know, because of the situation

628
00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:36,840
Speaker 2: he was in at Michigan, wasn't asked to do a lot.

629
00:31:37,160 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 2: Because of that, It makes him a pseudo polarizing quarterback

630
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,320
Speaker 2: prospect here as he begins the season as the starter,

631
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:45,480
Speaker 2: What do you expect? What are you hoping to see fromhim?

632
00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:48,280
Speaker 1: Well, I mean I'm hoping to see good play from him.

633
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:50,320
Speaker 1: I want to see as many good quarterbacks as we

634
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,280
Speaker 1: can have in this league. I don't know what I

635
00:31:52,360 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: expect from him, because again, like what we saw at Michigan,

636
00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:59,320
Speaker 1: it was still kind of up in the air. I

637
00:31:59,400 --> 00:32:01,200
Speaker 1: wasn't sure what to make of him as a pro

638
00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,560
Speaker 1: prospect either, Like it seemed like everybody was high on him,

639
00:32:04,600 --> 00:32:06,720
Speaker 1: but I wasn't all that high on him. I wasn't

640
00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:08,719
Speaker 1: necessarily low. But it's just like, what are you basing

641
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,880
Speaker 1: this on. You've seen a lot that I haven't seen

642
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: when it comes to like high school footage or something,

643
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: because you didn't see all that he wasn't But it

644
00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 1: wasn't necessarily that he couldn't do it. It's that he wasn't

645
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:23,000
Speaker 1: asked to because that team was about Blake korum A

646
00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,000
Speaker 1: running the football and playing defense for Jim Harball. But

647
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,360
Speaker 1: to his credit, when they did call upon McCarthy to

648
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 1: make some big plays, he seemed to make them almost

649
00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,120
Speaker 1: every single time. And so maybe he was a clutch

650
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:40,080
Speaker 1: guy and it's just he was never fully unleashed, and

651
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 1: we can see that potentially in the pros. There's a

652
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:44,760
Speaker 1: reason why the Vikings drafted him as high as they did.

653
00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: It's the reason why they made the move that they did,

654
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 1: and he goes to a team that I loved the

655
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,880
Speaker 1: head coach, and there's a ton of great weapons around him,

656
00:32:51,880 --> 00:32:53,840
Speaker 1: so I think he has all that you would want

657
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,440
Speaker 1: when it comes to just a position to succeed on

658
00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,240
Speaker 1: the offensive side of the ball. So I don't know

659
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: what I expect, but we both went over and I

660
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:03,480
Speaker 1: don't think either one of us would have done that

661
00:33:03,520 --> 00:33:05,400
Speaker 1: if we thought that McCarthy was gonna go out there

662
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:06,880
Speaker 1: and stick up the joint.

663
00:33:07,360 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: JJ McCarthy again four of seven in his debut, and

664
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 2: I'll just put a bow on this by saying, I

665
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 2: tend to agree with you. Plenty of weapons around him,

666
00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:20,040
Speaker 2: great play caller. I'm a little hotter on JJ McCarthy.

667
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 2: I guess solely because again I think he gets discredited

668
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 2: for just winning at Michigan because of all the talent

669
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,080
Speaker 2: around him, and it's like, I don't know, man, I

670
00:33:31,120 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: think he's going to be pretty good and it'll be

671
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,800
Speaker 2: interesting in that division with a lot of just very young,

672
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:40,120
Speaker 2: very interesting quarterbacks. Fox Sports Radio Air Towards Jason Martin

673
00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,680
Speaker 2: broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio Studios. Coming up,

674
00:33:43,880 --> 00:33:47,520
Speaker 2: we'll look at a couple other quarterbacks make it debuts.

675
00:33:48,080 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 1: Some point.

676
00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:50,320
Speaker 2: We got to talk about a very interesting quote from

677
00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 2: John Gruden today as well, maybe we do the groomers now,

678
00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: We'll save the quarterbacks for later. John Gruden, you will

679
00:33:57,080 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 2: not believe what he said. That's next Fox Welcome back everybody.

680
00:34:02,520 --> 00:34:06,440
Speaker 2: Fox Sports Radio Erra towards Jason Martin, broadcasting live from

681
00:34:06,640 --> 00:34:10,880
Speaker 2: the Fox Sports Radio studios. About twelve minutes from now,

682
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:15,480
Speaker 2: jmart we'll talk about could college football use more of

683
00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 2: a formal preseason? Just feels like there's just not a

684
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: lot of headlines in college football. But it was funny

685
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:26,840
Speaker 2: because as I was getting ready for our show, I

686
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:29,680
Speaker 2: heard Chris Plank, who was obviously hosting the show before

687
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 2: us with Jason mart Now with Jason Martin, you're with

688
00:34:32,239 --> 00:34:35,440
Speaker 2: me with artist expressive, it would have been a lot

689
00:34:35,480 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 2: of work for you.

690
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: Well, no, it would have been impressive because I mean

691
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,400
Speaker 1: like it would have been impressive for me. Yeah, because

692
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:45,440
Speaker 1: I was reading a book and somehow hosting a radio

693
00:34:45,440 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 1: show at the same time. For the last half hour

694
00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 1: before I went on.

695
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:50,120
Speaker 2: Some would say you could have done a better job

696
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 2: than Arnie Spanner even while reading a book. But another

697
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:58,319
Speaker 2: time I didn't say I'm just kidding, all right, so

698
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,879
Speaker 2: real quick, but you know, It was funny because Plank says, yeah,

699
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360
Speaker 2: you know, a big story out of college or I

700
00:35:05,400 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 2: don't think he's a big but he said, you know,

701
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 2: interesting story out of college football today is like, where

702
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 2: could he be going with this? Well, I bring it

703
00:35:12,200 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 2: up because a very interesting piece of audio kind of

704
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,839
Speaker 2: surfaced over the court on the Internet over the course

705
00:35:18,880 --> 00:35:22,600
Speaker 2: of the day. John Gruden, of course, former NFL not

706
00:35:22,640 --> 00:35:26,200
Speaker 2: only head coach but Super Bowl winning head coach, one

707
00:35:27,320 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 2: does now with just a lot of media with barstool

708
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,480
Speaker 2: and has kind of his own show. But he's doing

709
00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:36,360
Speaker 2: like a tour of all these different all these different

710
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:38,799
Speaker 2: training camps. At this time of the year. He was

711
00:35:38,920 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 2: speaking to Georgia Football. A clip surfaced from his show

712
00:35:43,480 --> 00:35:47,719
Speaker 2: talking to the Georgia football team, Mary before we play

713
00:35:47,760 --> 00:35:50,759
Speaker 2: a time before it plays down. Couple expletives. We have

714
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,160
Speaker 2: edited them out, but you know, if there's children in

715
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:56,080
Speaker 2: the car, just be warned. But here is what John

716
00:35:56,120 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 2: Gruden told the Georgia Bulldogs about him wanting to coaching

717
00:36:00,600 --> 00:36:02,880
Speaker 2: college football. The only reason I really came here is

718
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,360
Speaker 2: I want to coach again. I'm being honest with you.

719
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 1: I do not belie either.

720
00:36:06,800 --> 00:36:08,840
Speaker 2: I want to coach again. I'd die to coach in

721
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 2: the SEC. I would love it.

722
00:36:11,360 --> 00:36:12,400
Speaker 1: I would love it.

723
00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:17,400
Speaker 2: I would die to coach in the SEC. I would

724
00:36:17,760 --> 00:36:21,680
Speaker 2: f ing love it. J Mart certainly made the rounds,

725
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:25,319
Speaker 2: and I'll just be really quick. I'll say this. You

726
00:36:25,360 --> 00:36:29,200
Speaker 2: know the one school that everybody, I don't know everybody

727
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:32,320
Speaker 2: linked to, but the school that certainly got the most interest,

728
00:36:33,000 --> 00:36:35,720
Speaker 2: Arkansas is almost certainly going to have a head coaching

729
00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:39,560
Speaker 2: opening this year. I'm pretty sure Gruden has some friendship

730
00:36:39,640 --> 00:36:44,719
Speaker 2: with John Daly, who is from Arkansas, but you don't

731
00:36:44,920 --> 00:36:47,720
Speaker 2: we don't have to talk Arkansas necessarily. But big picture,

732
00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:52,359
Speaker 2: are you buying or selling John Gruden SEC football coach

733
00:36:52,400 --> 00:36:54,240
Speaker 2: at one of our sixteen SEC schools.

734
00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:57,760
Speaker 1: I was the one who said, know when it seems

735
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 1: like half the state that I live in thought he

736
00:36:59,719 --> 00:37:03,080
Speaker 1: was going to Tennessee, right the original groomers were sending

737
00:37:03,160 --> 00:37:05,680
Speaker 1: him to Knoxville like that was the thing that was

738
00:37:05,719 --> 00:37:07,879
Speaker 1: going to happen. That I was just like, no, one,

739
00:37:07,920 --> 00:37:09,960
Speaker 1: it's not going to happen. And two, why do you

740
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 1: want that to happen? I will say this, you got

741
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,720
Speaker 1: a lot of guys that are getting out of college

742
00:37:14,760 --> 00:37:17,560
Speaker 1: sports when it comes to coaching because of the changes,

743
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:21,200
Speaker 1: it would almost make sense for an NFL guy to

744
00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,080
Speaker 1: go the opposite direction because they're used to a different thing.

745
00:37:24,160 --> 00:37:26,880
Speaker 1: And when you look at Gruden, Gruden just wants to coach, period.

746
00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:31,479
Speaker 1: Like I think he made that point abruptly clear. And like, man,

747
00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 1: let's say it was Arkansas. You got John cal Perry

748
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: and John Gruden. What I mean at that point, do

749
00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,440
Speaker 1: you move like seven or eight people from all the

750
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,960
Speaker 1: major sports networks to the state of Arkansas just to

751
00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,920
Speaker 1: cover that on a day to day basis. I'm buying

752
00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:53,439
Speaker 1: it just from him being the personality that would fit

753
00:37:53,600 --> 00:37:55,600
Speaker 1: in the league. I mean he would, he would fit,

754
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:57,360
Speaker 1: he would do all those kinds of things, and he

755
00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,359
Speaker 1: would play those games properly. Now do I think that

756
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:03,600
Speaker 1: that would translate the wins? I have absolutely no idea,

757
00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:06,200
Speaker 1: But I'm all for it. But for the entertainment value,

758
00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:08,600
Speaker 1: no question about that. I mean, why would you be

759
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: against it from an entertainment standpoint?

760
00:38:10,920 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 2: That is why I am so on board with it. One,

761
00:38:13,360 --> 00:38:17,200
Speaker 2: the guy's just entertaining as hell. And two it's like, listen,

762
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,640
Speaker 2: you know Arkansas's coach named Sam Pittman. He's actually not

763
00:38:21,040 --> 00:38:24,359
Speaker 2: terrible all things considered, they won nine games in twenty

764
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: twenty one, They've been to a bowl game three in

765
00:38:26,160 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 2: the last four years. There's also zero juice. And you know,

766
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:33,160
Speaker 2: I bet people listening didn't even realize they've been to

767
00:38:33,160 --> 00:38:34,920
Speaker 2: a bull game three the last four years because there

768
00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 2: is literally no juice around that program at all. So

769
00:38:38,200 --> 00:38:39,960
Speaker 2: I would be into it just because I just think

770
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,040
Speaker 2: it'd be fun for college football, and I am I

771
00:38:43,080 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 2: am in favor of schools that like, respectfully, we'll have

772
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:51,520
Speaker 2: trouble competing at the top of this new year. Like

773
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:53,719
Speaker 2: if it was Ohio State, I would say, yeah, I

774
00:38:53,719 --> 00:38:56,719
Speaker 2: don't know if Gruden's the guy. If it was Alabama,

775
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: I don't know if Goruden's the guy, if it was LSU,

776
00:38:59,080 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 2: if it was USC But it's Arkansas, and it's like,

777
00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,279
Speaker 2: you got a coach that nobody I don't even think

778
00:39:05,280 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 2: anybody really likes, even at Arkansas. It's just like, why

779
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:11,479
Speaker 2: not go get John Gruden? What's the worst that can happen?

780
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:13,239
Speaker 2: It doesn't work out, well, guess what, you could hire

781
00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:17,400
Speaker 2: a dude from the Sun Belt or the AAC and

782
00:39:17,440 --> 00:39:19,840
Speaker 2: it doesn't work out either. So I'll be quick. We

783
00:39:19,840 --> 00:39:22,960
Speaker 2: don't have very much left in this hour. But that's

784
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:26,760
Speaker 2: my take. Jmart entertainment value. It's Arkansas. I'd be totally

785
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:28,719
Speaker 2: on board if it happened, even though you know it's

786
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 2: just internet chatter here on a Saturday in July.

787
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,320
Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean at the same time, yeah, Arkansas

788
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,560
Speaker 1: then becomes something you pay attention to in football. And look,

789
00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: Sam Pittman had that program going in the right direction

790
00:39:39,560 --> 00:39:42,120
Speaker 1: a few years ago. It's kind of plateaued out at

791
00:39:42,160 --> 00:39:44,680
Speaker 1: that point in time. But like you bring in Gruden,

792
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:46,919
Speaker 1: people are paying attention, they want to see it. Of course,

793
00:39:46,920 --> 00:39:49,160
Speaker 1: there's the other stuff with Gruden surrounding that, which would

794
00:39:49,200 --> 00:39:50,880
Speaker 1: cause a little bit of trouble, but I think you

795
00:39:50,920 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: could probably mitigate that if you're the SEC and just

796
00:39:54,360 --> 00:39:57,080
Speaker 1: keep on moving forward. I like say, I'm all for it,

797
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:59,680
Speaker 1: just because I want college football to be as entertaining

798
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: and chaotic as it possibly can. And I can't imagine,

799
00:40:03,200 --> 00:40:06,560
Speaker 1: you know, adding the powder keg of John Gruden into

800
00:40:06,600 --> 00:40:09,120
Speaker 1: the mix wouldn't make the SEC even more fascinating.

801
00:40:09,320 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 2: Bill Belichick to Carolina, another NFL guy, maybe John Gruden,

802
00:40:13,120 --> 00:40:16,880
Speaker 2: who knows more college football coming up? Fox Sports Radio.

803
00:40:17,120 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 2: You're listening to Fox Sports Radio Radio welcome in everybody.

Speaker 2: to download the podcast. We still got plenty more football

809
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,320
Speaker 2: to talk. I think it's the first day, Jmart. I

810
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 2: think it's probably the first day since like February. I

811
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: don't think we're gonna have time for any basketball or baseball.

812
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,840
Speaker 2: I mean, obviously Disagre's gonna have some great updates, but

813
00:40:55,560 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 2: you know you want those Luca Lebron hot takes, you're

814
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:02,320
Speaker 2: gonna have to go somewhere else. All football for us US, Jamn,

815
00:41:02,360 --> 00:41:05,239
Speaker 2: I want to ask you a question about college football. Actually, yeah,

816
00:41:05,640 --> 00:41:08,160
Speaker 2: I got another question, but I actually do have one

817
00:41:08,360 --> 00:41:10,560
Speaker 2: legitimate question for you before we get to the actual

818
00:41:10,560 --> 00:41:13,560
Speaker 2: segment I have planned. I just saw a tweet of

819
00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:18,399
Speaker 2: the renovations at Vanderbilt's football stadium. Do people care about

820
00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:19,280
Speaker 2: Vanderbilt football?

821
00:41:19,400 --> 00:41:19,520
Speaker 1: Like?

822
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 4: No?

823
00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:22,200
Speaker 2: Sarcasm? Go ahead? Good? Did you say no?

824
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,800
Speaker 1: I mean people in terms of like the vast majority? No?

825
00:41:29,200 --> 00:41:33,359
Speaker 1: Are there some that do? Yeah? Of course, my one

826
00:41:33,360 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: of my in laws, as a matter of fact, went

827
00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,720
Speaker 1: to Vanderbilt, So it does you know, it certainly matters

828
00:41:38,719 --> 00:41:40,400
Speaker 1: to some people. I know many people that went to

829
00:41:40,719 --> 00:41:43,640
Speaker 1: our friend Klay Travis went to Vanderbilt. But let me

830
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:45,720
Speaker 1: tell you this, Clay Travis don't care about.

831
00:41:45,560 --> 00:41:49,080
Speaker 2: Van I'm gonna say probably not as well as you do.

832
00:41:49,080 --> 00:41:50,520
Speaker 2: You don't care about Vanderbilt football.

833
00:41:50,560 --> 00:41:54,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, So I mean like that's that's that's kind

834
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:56,520
Speaker 1: of where we are. It's it's something that is sort

835
00:41:56,560 --> 00:41:59,200
Speaker 1: of interesting. I'm like, Diego Papia made that kind of

836
00:41:59,200 --> 00:42:02,200
Speaker 1: fun last year, and I don't think anybody most people

837
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,239
Speaker 1: were not. Unless you're a Tennessee fan, you're not really

838
00:42:05,360 --> 00:42:10,600
Speaker 1: rooting against Vanderbilt when it comes to football. It's just

839
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,640
Speaker 1: kind of like it's sort of like a novelty more

840
00:42:13,680 --> 00:42:16,520
Speaker 1: than anything else. But I think more than anything, it's

841
00:42:16,560 --> 00:42:20,239
Speaker 1: just kind of ambivalence, Like you could still drive right

842
00:42:20,320 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 1: where the stadium is and not run into traffic on

843
00:42:23,239 --> 00:42:27,040
Speaker 1: Saturdays for game day except from opposing teams fans, gotcha.

844
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,440
Speaker 2: I ironically you might not remember. You probably don't remember this,

845
00:42:30,520 --> 00:42:32,680
Speaker 2: but I was actually supposed to be in Nashville the

846
00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:37,680
Speaker 2: weekend of Yeah Usama. Yeah, and we are friends that

847
00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:40,759
Speaker 2: we were meeting. Unfortunately, everything was fine, but that was

848
00:42:40,800 --> 00:42:43,040
Speaker 2: I think there was a hurricane that came through like

849
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: Georgia where they were living at the time. They were fine,

850
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,920
Speaker 2: but kids were involved and they decided to cancel the trips.

851
00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:51,839
Speaker 2: So I was supposed to be in Nashville for that week.

852
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 2: But yeah, I just saw some pictures. I thought you'd

853
00:42:54,280 --> 00:42:56,520
Speaker 2: be a good person to ask. But I do want

854
00:42:56,560 --> 00:42:59,160
Speaker 2: to get to a topic that I kind of just

855
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:01,640
Speaker 2: threw out to you in the group, Chad and you know,

856
00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:05,160
Speaker 2: producer Brie and everybody, and that's this is that you know,

857
00:43:05,200 --> 00:43:07,799
Speaker 2: we did just talk a little bit about Gruden. So

858
00:43:07,880 --> 00:43:09,840
Speaker 2: Gruden gave us a little bit of a talking point

859
00:43:10,560 --> 00:43:13,759
Speaker 2: here on a Saturday. But it really struck me this week,

860
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:20,239
Speaker 2: j mart is that I think of every sport in America,

861
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:25,959
Speaker 2: college football has by far the worst lead up two

862
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:30,040
Speaker 2: a season of any major sport. Major League Baseball has

863
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:32,759
Speaker 2: spring training, even college basketball, like and I know I'm

864
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:35,160
Speaker 2: a little bit of a college basketball nerd. They now

865
00:43:35,239 --> 00:43:38,920
Speaker 2: allow good teams to play each other in exhibition season,

866
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,520
Speaker 2: like Purdue is playing at Kentucky, Duke is playing at

867
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:47,200
Speaker 2: Tennessee in the preseason, and yes it's niche, but at

868
00:43:47,280 --> 00:43:50,040
Speaker 2: least it gives fans something to get excited about a

869
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:53,000
Speaker 2: week or two before the season. And it really struck

870
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,960
Speaker 2: me this week one just looking for any piece of

871
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: tangible news as we were getting ready for this show.

872
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:04,719
Speaker 2: There's really nothing out there. And then two also just

873
00:44:04,760 --> 00:44:08,480
Speaker 2: watching Hard Knocks and seeing I know it's not an

874
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:12,520
Speaker 2: everyday occurrence, but basically fans are welcome to just come

875
00:44:12,600 --> 00:44:14,920
Speaker 2: watch the Bills practice a couple times a week.

876
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:15,480
Speaker 1: And so.

877
00:44:17,200 --> 00:44:20,480
Speaker 2: I just think college football, as we get deeper into

878
00:44:20,560 --> 00:44:24,360
Speaker 2: this world where it is basically professional football on a

879
00:44:24,400 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 2: college campus, I think you owe it to the fans,

880
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 2: and I think you're doing yourself a disservice where yeah,

881
00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:35,080
Speaker 2: like listen, you and I are gonna talk about it

882
00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:37,919
Speaker 2: and think about it because we care. And certainly when

883
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:41,520
Speaker 2: the game start that Week one, when Clemson's playing LSU

884
00:44:41,600 --> 00:44:44,240
Speaker 2: and Texas's playing, We're all gonna watch. I'm not saying

885
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:48,160
Speaker 2: that I do feel like the sport does itself a disservice.

886
00:44:48,320 --> 00:44:51,560
Speaker 2: I do feel like, whether it's having fans more present

887
00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:56,080
Speaker 2: at you know, practices, whether it's more media availability, we

888
00:44:56,120 --> 00:44:59,120
Speaker 2: can even in a minute get into the idea of

889
00:44:59,200 --> 00:45:01,560
Speaker 2: preseason game. It's just like, I just think it has

890
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:06,120
Speaker 2: the worst preseason. There's nothing to get the casual person

891
00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:09,360
Speaker 2: hyped about college football. It's just diehards like you and

892
00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,879
Speaker 2: I that are kind of scratching and clawing to find

893
00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,919
Speaker 2: any piece of relevant news this time of year.

894
00:45:14,920 --> 00:45:17,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think that's true. One thing that's

895
00:45:17,600 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 1: kind of weird is it seems like you get less

896
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:24,680
Speaker 1: access when you go further away from the pros. Like

897
00:45:24,760 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: I remember when I was calling high school games, and dude,

898
00:45:28,719 --> 00:45:34,080
Speaker 1: it was like trying to infiltrate the Pentagon to get

899
00:45:34,160 --> 00:45:38,080
Speaker 1: like coaches to actually sit down and talk about game

900
00:45:38,120 --> 00:45:40,719
Speaker 1: plans and talk about strategies and even tell you what

901
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,200
Speaker 1: schemes that they were running things like that. And the

902
00:45:44,200 --> 00:45:46,080
Speaker 1: difference is like in the NFL, I can find that

903
00:45:46,120 --> 00:45:48,799
Speaker 1: stuff out in high school, it's not that easy. Like

904
00:45:48,880 --> 00:45:51,799
Speaker 1: I kind of am sort of at the mercy if

905
00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm a broadcaster in that spot. I'm at the mercy

906
00:45:54,280 --> 00:45:56,880
Speaker 1: of that program to kind of help me understand and

907
00:45:56,920 --> 00:45:58,640
Speaker 1: fill in the gaps so that I can make that

908
00:45:58,760 --> 00:46:00,640
Speaker 1: And I used to say, look, I'm not trying to

909
00:46:01,480 --> 00:46:06,680
Speaker 1: sell sell your your plans to the opponent. I'm just

910
00:46:06,719 --> 00:46:09,280
Speaker 1: trying to make it make you sound decent on TV

911
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,520
Speaker 1: because I I have nothing else to go on here.

912
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:16,200
Speaker 1: But then, like in college, everything's more shrouded in secrecy.

913
00:46:16,560 --> 00:46:19,720
Speaker 1: And then you have like the NFL, where as you mentioned,

914
00:46:19,760 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: you got fans that are there getting autographs and spending

915
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 1: some time with the teams that are at least you know,

916
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:27,120
Speaker 1: maybe a third of the practice or something like that

917
00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 1: are kind of open to them. But it seems like

918
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:31,879
Speaker 1: there's much more there. It's like it's it seemed much

919
00:46:31,880 --> 00:46:36,040
Speaker 1: more as a product. I think that I can understand

920
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:41,160
Speaker 1: to some degree like wanting to, you know, create a

921
00:46:41,200 --> 00:46:44,080
Speaker 1: bit of a boundary. But I also think that as

922
00:46:44,200 --> 00:46:49,000
Speaker 1: college football starts to feel and look and truly just

923
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:55,040
Speaker 1: be much more just close to the pro game, now,

924
00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:57,640
Speaker 1: I think you can give more access because I think

925
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,040
Speaker 1: that the sport fundamentally has changed, not in terms of

926
00:47:02,480 --> 00:47:05,080
Speaker 1: what's happening during the sixty minutes on the field, but

927
00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:09,440
Speaker 1: basically everything else surrounding the business of college football has

928
00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: shifted to such a degree that you no longer have

929
00:47:12,360 --> 00:47:16,880
Speaker 1: to protect student athletes from the public or anything like that. Like,

930
00:47:17,239 --> 00:47:20,400
Speaker 1: I think that now it's sort of it just feels antiquated.

931
00:47:20,440 --> 00:47:23,279
Speaker 1: It's basically daylight saving stom at this point, like you

932
00:47:23,320 --> 00:47:27,680
Speaker 1: could just kind of I think college football could step

933
00:47:27,719 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 1: into the new century. But I do think that the difference,

934
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:34,000
Speaker 1: one of the only differences, is college football coaches in

935
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:36,880
Speaker 1: the power that they used to have. They love the

936
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:41,279
Speaker 1: idea of being able to control every variable, and I

937
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,920
Speaker 1: think that that has shifted in the NIL area in

938
00:47:44,280 --> 00:47:48,759
Speaker 1: the NIL era to a degree that now now I

939
00:47:48,760 --> 00:47:51,000
Speaker 1: think that the floodgates are probably going to open to

940
00:47:51,080 --> 00:47:51,880
Speaker 1: some degree.

941
00:47:52,120 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 2: So that was exactly my thought is that one obviously

942
00:47:57,040 --> 00:47:59,640
Speaker 2: look in the NIL era, and I know that in

943
00:47:59,760 --> 00:48:02,760
Speaker 2: the schools can now pay the players, and it's supposed

944
00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:04,399
Speaker 2: to take the burden off of the fans. But let's

945
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:07,200
Speaker 2: also be honest, schools are always going to find a

946
00:48:07,200 --> 00:48:11,040
Speaker 2: way to get more money to players. And so one,

947
00:48:11,239 --> 00:48:14,600
Speaker 2: you're just asking more of the fans financially, ticket prices

948
00:48:14,600 --> 00:48:16,960
Speaker 2: are up. I know a Tennessee where you live, that's

949
00:48:17,040 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 2: like a big talking point is they've raised prices significantly

950
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:22,080
Speaker 2: the last year or two in this NIL era to

951
00:48:22,200 --> 00:48:27,560
Speaker 2: raise more money. Uh, whatever, One you're asking more from fans. Two,

952
00:48:28,719 --> 00:48:31,719
Speaker 2: I also just have less sympathy for the coaches too, right,

953
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,600
Speaker 2: It's like, dude, get paid eight million dollars a year,

954
00:48:34,640 --> 00:48:39,080
Speaker 2: seven million dollars year. This ain't you know nineteen eighty

955
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:42,279
Speaker 2: four where you know you're getting paid whatever. Like the

956
00:48:42,360 --> 00:48:46,319
Speaker 2: point is you're getting paid a lot of money, and

957
00:48:46,400 --> 00:48:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm sorry if it's uncomfortable for you, Brian Kelly or

958
00:48:50,560 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 2: Kirby Smart to give access to the program. I also

959
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:55,920
Speaker 2: don't really care. You got eight million dollars. You know,

960
00:48:56,080 --> 00:48:59,080
Speaker 2: what do they say? You know, people that make thirty

961
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:01,319
Speaker 2: thousand dollars a year thirty thousand dollars problems and eight

962
00:49:01,400 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 2: million dollars you have eight million. Well that's an eight

963
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:05,680
Speaker 2: million dollars year problem. Oh my god. So many people

964
00:49:05,800 --> 00:49:07,960
Speaker 2: care about my team that I have to open up

965
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:10,399
Speaker 2: practice a few times a week and do a little

966
00:49:10,400 --> 00:49:13,360
Speaker 2: bit more media availability. Like I'm sorry. If Andy Reid

967
00:49:13,400 --> 00:49:15,319
Speaker 2: can do it, and if Sean McVay can do it,

968
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:17,920
Speaker 2: you can do it as well. Let me ask you

969
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,960
Speaker 2: this because this was when I originally pitched this a

970
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:23,920
Speaker 2: few you know, I've talked to a few people just

971
00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 2: about this idea over the last couple of days. A

972
00:49:27,320 --> 00:49:30,840
Speaker 2: couple of people perceived it as I was pushing for

973
00:49:31,200 --> 00:49:34,920
Speaker 2: preseason in college football, and I'm not even necessarily doing that.

974
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:37,400
Speaker 2: I think, to me, it's more about the media access

975
00:49:37,400 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 2: and it's more about the fan access more than anything.

976
00:49:40,800 --> 00:49:42,560
Speaker 2: But I will ask you, like, what do you think

977
00:49:42,560 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 2: about the idea of allowing say, a preseason game, And

978
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:50,080
Speaker 2: people would say. The two pushbacks I've heard is you know, well,

979
00:49:50,080 --> 00:49:51,840
Speaker 2: you don't want to get anybody hurt. It's like, well,

980
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:54,560
Speaker 2: guess what, neither do NFL teams. They don't play starters.

981
00:49:54,880 --> 00:49:57,719
Speaker 2: The other thing that I've heard is well, you don't

982
00:49:57,719 --> 00:50:00,680
Speaker 2: want to play anybody because you're trying to high players

983
00:50:00,760 --> 00:50:03,799
Speaker 2: kind of in this transfer portal era where players can leave.

984
00:50:04,320 --> 00:50:07,880
Speaker 2: And my argument to that would be, dude, you're playing

985
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:14,600
Speaker 2: in August for December, January, February, whatever. It's like the possibility. One,

986
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,800
Speaker 2: these are players that might have to play in games anyway,

987
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,600
Speaker 2: So it's like, what are you gonna do hide somebody

988
00:50:19,640 --> 00:50:21,759
Speaker 2: if the third string got you know, if the third

989
00:50:21,800 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: string player needs to play. But two, it's also four

990
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,399
Speaker 2: or five months out. Like I said, college basketball has

991
00:50:27,480 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 2: televised exhibition games now, So I don't buy the portal thing,

992
00:50:32,520 --> 00:50:34,799
Speaker 2: But would you care? Do you think it would be

993
00:50:34,840 --> 00:50:39,240
Speaker 2: any added benefit if say Georgia was hosting some random

994
00:50:39,320 --> 00:50:42,359
Speaker 2: team today even if their starters weren't playing, or do

995
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:44,200
Speaker 2: you think that's kind of an no en void.

996
00:50:45,080 --> 00:50:47,920
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'd have to see it. I'm not

997
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,799
Speaker 1: like I don't have like a gag reflex when it

998
00:50:51,840 --> 00:50:54,880
Speaker 1: comes to like I just ate mayonnaise. I may have

999
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,879
Speaker 1: just spoiled that for people out there, but I can't

1000
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:59,520
Speaker 1: stand Mayna's, So now you know something new about me.

1001
00:50:59,600 --> 00:51:01,759
Speaker 1: I can't be around it. Like if I'm in the

1002
00:51:01,880 --> 00:51:04,160
Speaker 1: room and I smell it, got to go. So it's

1003
00:51:04,200 --> 00:51:06,120
Speaker 1: not like that, like I don't hear your idea and

1004
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:09,400
Speaker 1: immediately recoil and feel like I have to leave. But

1005
00:51:10,040 --> 00:51:12,480
Speaker 1: I'd have to see how it actually looked, and i'd

1006
00:51:12,480 --> 00:51:16,520
Speaker 1: have to see how the teams approached it. I think

1007
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:20,400
Speaker 1: if nothing else, opening up practice to at least maybe

1008
00:51:20,560 --> 00:51:22,799
Speaker 1: once a week or something like that just kind of

1009
00:51:23,719 --> 00:51:27,879
Speaker 1: be more accommodating and just kind of open door when

1010
00:51:27,880 --> 00:51:34,759
Speaker 1: it comes to just giving a little bit of accessibility

1011
00:51:35,239 --> 00:51:37,319
Speaker 1: to these fans that you're asking to pay more and

1012
00:51:37,360 --> 00:51:40,160
Speaker 1: more and more while you are raking in all these

1013
00:51:40,200 --> 00:51:42,880
Speaker 1: TV dollars and everything else like that, it doesn't have

1014
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:47,879
Speaker 1: to be You're on this giant mountaintop and everybody else

1015
00:51:47,960 --> 00:51:49,920
Speaker 1: is looking at you from the bottom, just hoping that

1016
00:51:49,960 --> 00:51:52,000
Speaker 1: maybe they can catch a glimpse. I think that you

1017
00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 1: can actually treat it a bit more like an entertainment

1018
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:59,600
Speaker 1: product at this point, because there's no longer this I

1019
00:51:59,600 --> 00:52:01,680
Speaker 1: don't know even what you would call it, but the

1020
00:52:01,840 --> 00:52:05,080
Speaker 1: charade that all this was about academics when we've known

1021
00:52:05,160 --> 00:52:06,880
Speaker 1: for a very long time that it is not.

1022
00:52:08,600 --> 00:52:10,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I would put a bow on it by saying

1023
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 2: I actually I actually agree with all of it. Is

1024
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:17,920
Speaker 2: when I kind of have been thinking about this, My

1025
00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:22,160
Speaker 2: first thought wasn't preseason games and don't I don't really

1026
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:24,120
Speaker 2: know that it would be an additive just because the

1027
00:52:24,239 --> 00:52:27,440
Speaker 2: chances that you would see meaningful players is next to none,

1028
00:52:27,760 --> 00:52:30,480
Speaker 2: almost like old school spring games that are now another

1029
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:34,439
Speaker 2: thing of the past because of the transfer portal. So yeah,

1030
00:52:34,480 --> 00:52:37,480
Speaker 2: I just like I said, I think college football as

1031
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:41,920
Speaker 2: a collective needs to do better to get casual people

1032
00:52:41,960 --> 00:52:44,279
Speaker 2: interested in their sport. And I think that's one thing.

1033
00:52:44,920 --> 00:52:46,839
Speaker 2: You know, the NFL has a fifty year head start

1034
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 2: on this, but we all know the NFL does an

1035
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:54,360
Speaker 2: amazing job of keeping people engaged in the offseason, be

1036
00:52:54,400 --> 00:52:56,520
Speaker 2: it free agency, be at the draft, be it whatever.

1037
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:00,520
Speaker 2: College football hasn't really figured out that part of it

1038
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:04,160
Speaker 2: yet where it feels like, yeah, the portal you kind

1039
00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:06,320
Speaker 2: of care about a little bit if you're a fan,

1040
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,319
Speaker 2: right yeah, But you get past like the middle of January,

1041
00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,200
Speaker 2: you're not really thinking about college football right up until

1042
00:53:13,239 --> 00:53:16,000
Speaker 2: week one, or at least week zero, which, by the way,

1043
00:53:16,280 --> 00:53:20,440
Speaker 2: two weekends from now, jmart one weekend left without college football,

1044
00:53:20,440 --> 00:53:22,600
Speaker 2: So at least that's a little bit of a saving

1045
00:53:22,640 --> 00:53:25,320
Speaker 2: grace is we do get week zero two saturdays from now,

1046
00:53:25,640 --> 00:53:29,120
Speaker 2: Week one three saturdays from now. Fox Sports Radio erators

00:55:07,719 --> 00:55:10,520
Speaker 2: you what, Mary, give us a little music, put us

1077
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:14,839
Speaker 2: in the mood. Bre NFC South, tell us who we're

1078
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:15,319
Speaker 2: starting with.

1079
00:55:15,600 --> 00:55:19,360
Speaker 7: Alrighty, guys, We're gonna start with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers

1080
00:55:19,400 --> 00:55:21,400
Speaker 7: over under nine and a half wins.

1081
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:22,640
Speaker 8: J Mart, you are up?

1082
00:55:23,600 --> 00:55:27,360
Speaker 1: Oh man, Well, I mean they beat the Tennessee Titans

1083
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:31,080
Speaker 1: in preseason action. Are you going today? Don't know what

1084
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 1: that tells you, But if you're someone that wants to

1085
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:36,839
Speaker 1: try to read tea leaves, then good for you. I'm

1086
00:55:36,840 --> 00:55:42,360
Speaker 1: just looking at the schedule generally, so it's kind of

1087
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,320
Speaker 1: it's manageable. I mean, you play Philadelphia, you go to Seattle,

1088
00:55:45,320 --> 00:55:49,600
Speaker 1: which is never easy, road game against the Lions, road

1089
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:52,080
Speaker 1: game against the Bills. You play the Rams on the

1090
00:55:52,160 --> 00:55:55,799
Speaker 1: road as well. Yeah, so those are pretty difficult nine

1091
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:59,040
Speaker 1: and a half. I like Baker Mayfield. I like the Buccaneers.

1092
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:01,480
Speaker 1: I still think that vision is weak and they should

1093
00:56:01,520 --> 00:56:05,320
Speaker 1: be able to dominate it. Man, I think that's probably

1094
00:56:05,360 --> 00:56:07,880
Speaker 1: right on the money. I think I'll go over. I

1095
00:56:07,920 --> 00:56:11,640
Speaker 1: think they can win ten games there, if by no

1096
00:56:11,719 --> 00:56:14,799
Speaker 1: other reason than default, because the division is still just

1097
00:56:14,920 --> 00:56:15,680
Speaker 1: not very good.

1098
00:56:16,600 --> 00:56:20,400
Speaker 2: The division is not good. I'm actually gonna go under

1099
00:56:20,440 --> 00:56:22,760
Speaker 2: on this one, and it's not like a hard under,

1100
00:56:22,840 --> 00:56:25,439
Speaker 2: like you said, I think that the number is about right.

1101
00:56:25,760 --> 00:56:28,040
Speaker 2: Two years ago they won the division at nine and eight.

1102
00:56:28,120 --> 00:56:29,920
Speaker 2: It would not shock me if they did the same.

1103
00:56:30,239 --> 00:56:32,520
Speaker 2: You know, Jamar, I was thinking about this. I think

1104
00:56:32,560 --> 00:56:37,000
Speaker 2: it's easy to forget remember that weird Todd Bowles Liam

1105
00:56:37,040 --> 00:56:40,400
Speaker 2: Cohen thing like when Liam Yeah, for people to forget

1106
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:42,800
Speaker 2: like so, Liam Cohen is of course the new Jacksonville

1107
00:56:42,880 --> 00:56:46,160
Speaker 2: Jaguars head coach, and there was like a thing where

1108
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:50,279
Speaker 2: he was gonna leave Tampa and then Tampa basically tried

1109
00:56:50,320 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 2: to force out Todd Bowles to keep them, but they

1110
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,879
Speaker 2: didn't want to force out Todd Bowles. Well, I bring

1111
00:56:54,920 --> 00:56:57,120
Speaker 2: it up because Todd Bowles is back. They have a

1112
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:01,360
Speaker 2: first time offensive coordinator, and like you said, the schedule

1113
00:57:01,480 --> 00:57:05,360
Speaker 2: is certainly because of the division, not brutal, but you

1114
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,600
Speaker 2: do still have a four week stretch Eagles forty nine

1115
00:57:07,719 --> 00:57:10,279
Speaker 2: ers at Lions, and then later out of the year

1116
00:57:10,320 --> 00:57:14,360
Speaker 2: you still have Buffalo and the La Rams. So again,

1117
00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 2: it's not a hard under of they're winning five games,

1118
00:57:17,480 --> 00:57:20,240
Speaker 2: they're winning six games, but I'll say nine to eight

1119
00:57:20,360 --> 00:57:23,560
Speaker 2: and under still might be good enough to win the division. Bree,

1120
00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:24,360
Speaker 2: who we got next?

1121
00:57:25,240 --> 00:57:29,200
Speaker 7: We have the Atlanta Falcons over under seven and a

1122
00:57:29,240 --> 00:57:30,600
Speaker 7: half tour as you're up.

1123
00:57:31,280 --> 00:57:35,640
Speaker 2: No, Jamin, I'm gonna go over weird last year with

1124
00:57:35,720 --> 00:57:39,280
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins and Michael Pennix. And I'll be honest, you know,

1125
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,160
Speaker 2: going back in hindsight and looking at this, Michael Pennix

1126
00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:45,360
Speaker 2: didn't really, frankly, play as much as I thought he did,

1127
00:57:45,760 --> 00:57:48,960
Speaker 2: and they weren't as successful when he was in as

1128
00:57:49,000 --> 00:57:52,240
Speaker 2: I seemed to remember them being. They went basically one

1129
00:57:52,240 --> 00:57:55,880
Speaker 2: and two with him as a starter. I know the

1130
00:57:55,960 --> 00:57:59,000
Speaker 2: vibes are weird, but there is a reason that he

1131
00:57:59,040 --> 00:58:01,760
Speaker 2: took that they took early. There is a there is

1132
00:58:01,840 --> 00:58:04,200
Speaker 2: so much talent on the offensive side of the ball,

1133
00:58:04,720 --> 00:58:07,880
Speaker 2: and they just need to be a little bit better defensively.

1134
00:58:07,960 --> 00:58:11,560
Speaker 2: Twenty third in the NFL in scoring defense and total defense.

1135
00:58:11,960 --> 00:58:14,480
Speaker 2: I think in this division they can find the wins.

1136
00:58:15,120 --> 00:58:17,200
Speaker 2: You said seven and a half free, right, Yes, that

1137
00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:19,720
Speaker 2: is correct. So I'm gonna go just a little bit over.

1138
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:21,680
Speaker 2: I think they're right in that eight to nine win

1139
00:58:21,840 --> 00:58:22,760
Speaker 2: range for the NFL.

1140
00:58:23,680 --> 00:58:25,360
Speaker 1: Oh that's what they were last year. They were eight

1141
00:58:25,400 --> 00:58:27,960
Speaker 1: to nine last year. I'm gonna go over as well.

1142
00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: And so I'm taking a look at the bye week

1143
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:32,520
Speaker 1: as one of my reasonings for this, because they have

1144
00:58:32,560 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 1: a stretch where they play against Washington, Buffalo, and San

1145
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 1: Francisco back to back to back, but between Washington and Buffalo,

1146
00:58:40,840 --> 00:58:43,280
Speaker 1: they're off a week. So you look at it there

1147
00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:45,920
Speaker 1: and you say, okay, so you're able to get yourself

1148
00:58:46,040 --> 00:58:50,720
Speaker 1: right after you host Washington, you host Buffalo. So I'm

1149
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:52,560
Speaker 1: looking at the games that they're playing on the road,

1150
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:57,600
Speaker 1: I'm not like totally like going to the Jets going

1151
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:03,160
Speaker 1: to Arizona Minnesota. That won't be easy. But to your point,

1152
00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:06,480
Speaker 1: the rest of the of the division, I think they're

1153
00:59:06,520 --> 00:59:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna go over as well. I don't think that they're

1154
00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,480
Speaker 1: going to be a double digit win team, but just

1155
00:59:11,520 --> 00:59:14,200
Speaker 1: looking at this schedule, I feel like it's entirely manageable

1156
00:59:14,200 --> 00:59:15,600
Speaker 1: for them, So I'll go over also.

1157
00:59:16,320 --> 00:59:19,520
Speaker 2: So two teams down, Jmart has the under of the

1158
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:21,360
Speaker 2: over of nine and a half. In Tampa, I have

1159
00:59:21,440 --> 00:59:24,120
Speaker 2: the under. We both have the over of seven and

1160
00:59:24,160 --> 00:59:26,280
Speaker 2: a half with the Atlanta Falcons. Tell you what will

1161
00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:28,520
Speaker 2: come back. We will hit on the other two teams

1162
00:59:28,520 --> 00:59:32,880
Speaker 2: in this division, including Brie Moro's New Orleans Saints. We

1163
00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:34,760
Speaker 2: might have to get a little funeral music for that one,

1164
00:59:34,800 --> 00:59:37,680
Speaker 2: more than NFL music. But before we get to the Saints,

1165
00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:39,640
Speaker 2: before we get to the Panthers, let's get it over

1166
00:59:39,680 --> 00:59:42,080
Speaker 2: to the news desk Steve di Seger, what is trending?

1167
00:59:42,200 --> 00:59:44,760
Speaker 6: We have one Laid Bowl game still going at Seattle

1168
00:59:44,800 --> 00:59:47,560
Speaker 6: Mariners seven to four over Tampa Bay. Bottom of the eighth.

1169
00:59:47,600 --> 00:59:51,400
Speaker 6: Seattle's JP Crawford did having a bet with seventeen pitches

1170

Speaker 6: before he popped out cal Rawley with his forty fourth

1171
00:59:54,720 --> 00:59:57,600
Speaker 6: home run of the season. Everything else is final, including

1172
00:59:57,600 --> 01:00:01,240
Speaker 6: a San Diego win at home in ten innings over Boston.

1173

1178

Speaker 6: the seventh, seven to four. Philadelphia was a three to

1179
01:00:17,600 --> 01:00:20,520
Speaker 6: two winner at Texas, beating Jacob de grom As for

1180
01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,880
Speaker 6: the NFL preseason. The game at Jacksonville saw Cam Little

1181
01:00:23,880 --> 01:00:26,640
Speaker 6: of the Jags kick a seventy yard field goal to

1182
01:00:26,840 --> 01:00:30,160

1189
01:00:52,800 --> 01:00:55,840
Speaker 6: against Chicago, which would normally be some sort of big deal.

1190
01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,880
Speaker 6: Chicago eight and twenty three this year, lost by twenty

1191
01:00:58,960 --> 01:01:01,520

1202
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,360
Speaker 6: And I did see this quote as you guys Talk

1203
01:01:32,440 --> 01:01:35,760
Speaker 6: College Football from Paul fine Bomb, saying, I am so

1204
01:01:35,960 --> 01:01:38,560
Speaker 6: sick and tired of being harassed by Big ten fans

1205
01:01:38,600 --> 01:01:41,760
Speaker 6: on our show. They act like they invented football. And

1206
01:01:41,840 --> 01:01:45,920
Speaker 6: when it came to the readers add context on Twitter,

1207
01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:51,040
Speaker 6: someone just one sentence, college football was invented at Rutgers University.

1208
01:01:51,040 --> 01:01:53,640
Speaker 2: There you go back to ride to the.

1209
01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:55,160
Speaker 1: Big ten scoreboard.

1210
01:01:55,240 --> 01:01:58,120
Speaker 2: Fine Bomb, By the way, this might be a little

1211
01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:01,200
Speaker 2: mean spirited to say you're just ran through all the

1212
01:02:01,280 --> 01:02:05,480
Speaker 2: WNBA players that aren't available. Pay us what you owe us?

1213
01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Is the league.

1214
01:02:06,320 --> 01:02:10,440
Speaker 2: Available forty four game regular season? No one could get

1215
01:02:10,440 --> 01:02:12,800
Speaker 2: through with that. Yeah, Yo, Like we criticize all these

1216
01:02:12,880 --> 01:02:16,480
Speaker 2: NBA players, and I understand these are legitimate injuries. I'm

1217
01:02:16,520 --> 01:02:18,600
Speaker 2: not trying to be yes they are. I'm just saying,

1218
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:22,640
Speaker 2: I don't know, forty four you get paid, you know,

1219
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:24,880
Speaker 2: seventy five thousand dollars for forty four games.

1220
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:27,160
Speaker 6: It's just the timing could not be worse because there's

1221
01:02:27,200 --> 01:02:30,120
Speaker 6: a window for you to make a mark in that league.

1222
01:02:30,160 --> 01:02:32,760
Speaker 6: That's probably and that window is closing this week.

1223
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,000
Speaker 2: That's probably the angle that I should have taken, rather

1224
01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:38,480
Speaker 2: than just blaming players for getting injury, which I was

1225
01:02:38,520 --> 01:02:40,959
Speaker 2: not doing, but it probably came off. Athletes still get hurt,

1226
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:43,120
Speaker 2: they do, and these are legitimate injuries.

1227
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:46,080
Speaker 1: So thanks asking you a question that this isn't about WNBA.

1228
01:02:46,160 --> 01:02:49,840
Speaker 2: I'm just gonna let you.

1229
01:02:50,640 --> 01:02:53,480
Speaker 1: If you kick a seventy yard field goal in an

1230
01:02:53,480 --> 01:02:56,480
Speaker 1: exhibition game, that doesn't count. Coach got to let you

1231
01:02:56,520 --> 01:02:58,240
Speaker 1: do that in a regular season once.

1232
01:02:58,160 --> 01:03:00,680
Speaker 2: Right, yes scenario.

1233
01:03:00,880 --> 01:03:04,120
Speaker 6: Yeah. Do you remember when Sebastian Janikowski lined up from

1234
01:03:04,160 --> 01:03:05,440
Speaker 6: seventy six at the.

1235
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:09,120
Speaker 1: End of a baby Yes, that was just dumb.

1236
01:03:09,240 --> 01:03:12,919
Speaker 6: No, it was just for the no, you don't say.

1237
01:03:13,960 --> 01:03:16,400
Speaker 6: I was at a game where Jason Hansen in college

1238
01:03:16,440 --> 01:03:19,040
Speaker 6: they lined up from seventy because he had quite the leg,

1239
01:03:19,080 --> 01:03:22,160
Speaker 6: of course in a long NFL career too, and he

1240
01:03:22,320 --> 01:03:25,720
Speaker 6: overkicked it and it just went end over end, bouncing

1241
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:29,080
Speaker 6: down the twenty, down the fifteen, the ten. It was

1242
01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,200
Speaker 6: like when they announced, you know, when the squirrel gets

1243
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:34,000
Speaker 6: on the field and he just it just there was

1244
01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:36,600
Speaker 6: nothing in the air. It was just scooting along the ground.

1245
01:03:37,680 --> 01:03:38,760
Speaker 6: I wish you got a better.

1246
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:40,480
Speaker 1: Chance fall on the cart path because.

1247
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,400
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, anyone in this building when they when they

1248
01:03:43,480 --> 01:03:43,760
Speaker 6: hit a.

1249
01:03:43,680 --> 01:03:46,920
Speaker 2: Golf ball, Yeah, yeah, that is interesting that in theory,

1250
01:03:47,000 --> 01:03:49,000
Speaker 2: they probably have to give him a shot.

1251
01:03:49,480 --> 01:03:51,280
Speaker 1: Got to do it once. Like, if I'm a fan,

1252
01:03:51,360 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 1: I'm demanding it on Sports Talk on.

1253
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:57,400
Speaker 6: Monday, especially because let's happened one Some stadiums are much

1254
01:03:57,440 --> 01:03:59,400
Speaker 6: better to kick in than others in this league. Go

1255
01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:03,600
Speaker 6: to Denver kick even where the Rams played tonight. I mean,

1256
01:04:04,320 --> 01:04:07,520
Speaker 6: it's it's not a grass field, it's got a canopy

1257
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:11,520
Speaker 6: over it, it's fairly weather controlled for an outdoor stadium.

1258
01:04:11,520 --> 01:04:12,640
Speaker 6: It's a good kicking stadium.

1259
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:14,640
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, except for the National Championship game

1260
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,800
Speaker 2: when me and Dan Byer were getting poured on Georgia

1261
01:04:17,880 --> 01:04:22,480
Speaker 2: TCU such at least you saw a barn. It's not.

1262
01:04:22,600 --> 01:04:24,640
Speaker 6: It's that's why you can't call it a dome. Stadiums.

1263
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,960
Speaker 6: There's a opening above each end zone and it was

1264
01:04:27,040 --> 01:04:29,880
Speaker 6: raining sideways that night and people had to move seats.

1265
01:04:29,560 --> 01:04:31,920
Speaker 2: And it was literally only on the TCU section. It

1266
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:33,200
Speaker 2: was just such a metaphor for the game.

1267
01:04:33,400 --> 01:04:35,720
Speaker 6: It was appropriate. It was like that one cartoon character

1268
01:04:35,760 --> 01:04:37,560
Speaker 6: that just walks around and always rammed down.

1269
01:04:37,800 --> 01:04:41,800
Speaker 2: There was just a dark cloud over the all right,

1270
01:04:41,880 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 2: speaking of dark cloud, let's get back to the rest

1271
01:04:43,760 --> 01:04:47,360
Speaker 2: of the NFC South Out, Shark Cloud, over, the Panthers

1272
01:04:47,440 --> 01:04:50,920
Speaker 2: and the Saints. Mary give us some music. Pre who

1273
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:51,800
Speaker 2: we talking about next?

1274
01:04:52,160 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 7: We're gonna start with the Carolina Panthers over under six

1275
01:04:56,600 --> 01:04:57,120
Speaker 7: and a half.

1276
01:04:57,240 --> 01:04:59,400
Speaker 8: GRT, you're up, man.

1277
01:04:59,440 --> 01:05:01,400
Speaker 1: I really want to say over because I really like

1278
01:05:01,480 --> 01:05:05,000
Speaker 1: Bryce Young, but I'm gonna go under. I've heard some

1279
01:05:05,080 --> 01:05:07,440
Speaker 1: good things about their rookie wide out. It looks like

1280
01:05:07,480 --> 01:05:10,080
Speaker 1: him and Bryce Young have had some decent chemistry and practice.

1281
01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:14,560
Speaker 1: But somebody's got to be really bad in this league,

1282
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:17,080
Speaker 1: and I feel like this is my best bet to

1283
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:20,280
Speaker 1: be right about a team winning four games or so

1284
01:05:20,880 --> 01:05:24,720
Speaker 1: out of that division. There's just there's nothing about that

1285
01:05:24,800 --> 01:05:28,720
Speaker 1: team that just makes me feel particularly strong about them.

1286
01:05:28,920 --> 01:05:31,280
Speaker 1: I hope they proved me wrong. Quite frankly, again, I

1287
01:05:31,360 --> 01:05:33,320
Speaker 1: like Bryce Young, and I would hate I'd like to

1288
01:05:33,320 --> 01:05:36,800
Speaker 1: see his career have a really nice turnaround. I just

1289
01:05:36,840 --> 01:05:38,720
Speaker 1: don't sense it, man, So I'm going under.

1290
01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:41,360
Speaker 2: So was a number brief five and a half and

1291
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:44,840
Speaker 2: six and a half. That is a lot seven wins.

1292
01:05:45,480 --> 01:05:49,200
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. So, like I remember us all being like, oh,

1293
01:05:49,520 --> 01:05:52,800
Speaker 2: Bryce Young kind of figure it out, you know, got benched,

1294
01:05:52,960 --> 01:05:56,000
Speaker 2: kind of figured it out. Okay, whatever, going back and

1295
01:05:56,080 --> 01:05:59,400
Speaker 2: looking final month of the season. Okay, you lose to Case,

1296
01:05:59,560 --> 01:06:02,280
Speaker 2: no shame that, lose to Tampa, lose to Philly, lose

1297
01:06:02,320 --> 01:06:04,880
Speaker 2: to Dallas when they didn't have a quarterback and their

1298
01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:07,680
Speaker 2: coaches on the hot seat. They did beat Arizona and

1299
01:06:07,760 --> 01:06:09,920
Speaker 2: Atlanta in two of the final three weeks. It's like

1300
01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,120
Speaker 2: I thought it ended a little bit better than that.

1301
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:17,400
Speaker 2: So let's just look at the schedule really quick. Open

1302
01:06:17,600 --> 01:06:21,760
Speaker 2: at Jacksonville, at Arizona, Falcons at home at New England.

1303
01:06:22,200 --> 01:06:25,280
Speaker 2: So one three or first four on the road, you

1304
01:06:25,320 --> 01:06:32,760
Speaker 2: gotta travel cross country in that span. Schedule is pretty.

1305
01:06:32,480 --> 01:06:34,880
Speaker 1: Much it's not that hard. It's not that hard.

1306
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,920
Speaker 2: Got the NFC West, so you got at carol or

1307
01:06:37,960 --> 01:06:41,440
Speaker 2: at San Francisco, Rams at home. You have the AFC East,

1308
01:06:41,480 --> 01:06:44,320
Speaker 2: so you have the Bills and the Patriots. I still

1309
01:06:44,320 --> 01:06:46,800
Speaker 2: gotta go under. Seven wins is a lot, I.

1310
01:06:46,720 --> 01:06:48,640
Speaker 1: Mean, it's that number is big to me.

1311
01:06:48,880 --> 01:06:51,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a lot of wins. So I will go

1312
01:06:52,160 --> 01:06:57,320
Speaker 2: under seven wins for the Carolina Panthers. Like you said,

1313
01:06:57,360 --> 01:07:00,919
Speaker 2: hope we're wrong, like price under with the Price Young.

1314
01:07:01,960 --> 01:07:05,800
Speaker 2: We'll see how Tetuo McMillan does. But yeah, I can't.

1315
01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:07,600
Speaker 2: I can't get to seven wins on that team. I

1316
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:10,440
Speaker 2: just can't breathe. What's our do we do it?

1317
01:07:10,440 --> 01:07:10,640
Speaker 1: Bring?

1318
01:07:10,800 --> 01:07:11,439
Speaker 8: I think we're done?

1319
01:07:11,680 --> 01:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Were no time left? Oh wait, actually we do. We

1320
01:07:15,800 --> 01:07:16,840
Speaker 1: have seven.

1321
01:07:16,560 --> 01:07:20,520
Speaker 8: Minutes the New Orleans Eights.

1322
01:07:20,720 --> 01:07:21,320
Speaker 1: We're going to.

1323
01:07:21,680 --> 01:07:25,320
Speaker 2: Six, Mary, I was gonna ask me. I didn't even have.

1324
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:28,160
Speaker 7: To, Oh wow, I have the New Orleans Saints over

1325
01:07:28,320 --> 01:07:31,760
Speaker 7: under a sixth and a half Torres take it away.

1326
01:07:33,840 --> 01:07:37,280
Speaker 1: Well, I told you chucking job is alive in the

1327
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:38,000
Speaker 1: big easy.

1328
01:07:39,920 --> 01:07:41,280
Speaker 2: I told so two things.

1329
01:07:41,560 --> 01:07:44,240
Speaker 1: Really, we should be playing second live music right now.

1330
01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,440
Speaker 1: I was. So.

1331
01:07:46,480 --> 01:07:50,200
Speaker 2: We were on last night during the Shador thing, and

1332
01:07:50,240 --> 01:07:53,280
Speaker 2: we got a call from New Orleans and he was

1333
01:07:53,360 --> 01:07:55,680
Speaker 2: just like, I was hoping we were gonna take it

1334
01:07:55,680 --> 01:07:56,440
Speaker 2: with our first pick.

1335
01:07:56,760 --> 01:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Don't you don't say? Then?

1336
01:07:58,120 --> 01:07:59,880
Speaker 2: I was hoping we were taking it with the second pick.

1337
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,080
Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, Well, the good news is you

1338
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 2: got the quarterback that played seven years of college football

1339
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:09,200
Speaker 2: and had one good season so young. That's not Tyler

1340
01:08:09,400 --> 01:08:10,240
Speaker 2: Chuck bro.

1341
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,680
Speaker 1: You took Do you want to make HI feel even worse?

1342
01:08:12,840 --> 01:08:15,560
Speaker 1: They took seven draft picks, at which point they and

1343
01:08:15,920 --> 01:08:18,400
Speaker 1: all of those they could have taken shudeor Sanders.

1344
01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:20,360
Speaker 2: That's true. There's no rule that says you can only

1345
01:08:20,400 --> 01:08:25,160
Speaker 2: take one quarterback as the Cleveland Browns exactly. Yeah. So

1346
01:08:25,680 --> 01:08:27,760
Speaker 2: the only thing I will say, what did you say

1347
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:28,360
Speaker 2: five and a half?

1348
01:08:28,800 --> 01:08:29,639
Speaker 8: No, six and a half?

1349
01:08:29,640 --> 01:08:30,240
Speaker 2: Six and a half?

1350
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:33,200
Speaker 1: The only they're both they're both a one point five

1351
01:08:33,320 --> 01:08:35,400
Speaker 1: higher than they finished last year. Them and the Panthers

1352
01:08:35,479 --> 01:08:37,639
Speaker 1: were both five and twelve teams last year was six

1353
01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:39,840
Speaker 1: and a half is the number for both of them.

1354
01:08:40,160 --> 01:08:45,679
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm clearly going under. The only thing I will say,

1355
01:08:47,280 --> 01:08:51,200
Speaker 2: I'm kind of intrigued Kellen Moore offensive coordinator. Now, I

1356
01:08:51,240 --> 01:08:54,200
Speaker 2: don't think he has anything resembled not offensive cornering. He's

1357
01:08:54,200 --> 01:08:54,920
Speaker 2: the head coach, he.

1358
01:08:54,920 --> 01:08:57,000
Speaker 1: Got to coordinate. But that's yeah, right.

1359
01:08:56,960 --> 01:09:01,840
Speaker 2: That's exactly it is that I was bree If Dennis

1360
01:09:01,880 --> 01:09:03,479
Speaker 2: Allen was still the head coach, it might be the

1361
01:09:03,479 --> 01:09:07,040
Speaker 2: most unwatchable team in NFL history. The problem is, like,

1362
01:09:08,000 --> 01:09:12,000
Speaker 2: it's so interesting because and I'm not being sarcastic, there's

1363
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:15,040
Speaker 2: just not one thing that I'm interested in about this team.

1364
01:09:15,360 --> 01:09:18,080
Speaker 2: It's not I mean, there's a lot of quarterbacks that

1365
01:09:18,120 --> 01:09:19,640
Speaker 2: we don't even know if they're good or not, but

1366
01:09:19,680 --> 01:09:23,880
Speaker 2: they're interesting. Caleb Williams. I think Bryce Young this is

1367
01:09:23,960 --> 01:09:26,439
Speaker 2: kind of make a break, you know, you go, Michael Pennix,

1368
01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:29,560
Speaker 2: you go on and on down the list, Shadoor Sanders,

1369
01:09:29,600 --> 01:09:34,760
Speaker 2: maybe whatever. I don't want to watch Tyler Shuck. It's

1370
01:09:34,760 --> 01:09:38,479
Speaker 2: not like they have these unbelievable skill position guys. I

1371
01:09:38,560 --> 01:09:41,880
Speaker 2: know I know who is on the roster, but it's

1372
01:09:41,960 --> 01:09:45,080
Speaker 2: nobody that like I haven't seen or don't know what

1373
01:09:45,200 --> 01:09:50,719
Speaker 2: to expect or whatever. There's just nothing there. I'm obviously

1374
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:55,599
Speaker 2: going hard under, but it's not only hard under. It's

1375
01:09:55,640 --> 01:10:00,320
Speaker 2: like a sad under of even if they get I'm

1376
01:10:00,320 --> 01:10:03,320
Speaker 2: not gonna want to watch it. Like, if they somehow

1377
01:10:03,360 --> 01:10:05,439
Speaker 2: get to seven wins, it'll probably be the best story

1378
01:10:05,439 --> 01:10:07,439
Speaker 2: in the NFL. But it's not like we're gonna be

1379
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,599
Speaker 2: leading a show with like, dude, remember that Tyler shuck

1380
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:11,879
Speaker 2: fourth quarter comeback.

1381
01:10:11,960 --> 01:10:14,240
Speaker 1: It's gonna be like, oh, this is so this is

1382
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:16,639
Speaker 1: so sad to listen to, Like, hey, I'm not talking

1383
01:10:16,640 --> 01:10:19,200
Speaker 1: about the music. I'm talking about you twisting yourself into

1384
01:10:19,280 --> 01:10:24,200
Speaker 1: knots right there. Like it's never good when somebody gets

1385
01:10:24,280 --> 01:10:26,479
Speaker 1: up and says, hey, does anybody have anything to say

1386
01:10:26,479 --> 01:10:30,040
Speaker 1: about the departed and they get up and they're like, man,

1387
01:10:30,040 --> 01:10:33,960
Speaker 1: I really like this car because there was nothing about

1388
01:10:34,040 --> 01:10:37,880
Speaker 1: him that was positive should be said. And there's only

1389
01:10:37,920 --> 01:10:40,400
Speaker 1: like five people in attendance at the funeral or something

1390
01:10:40,479 --> 01:10:43,200
Speaker 1: like that on top of everything. So I look at

1391
01:10:43,200 --> 01:10:46,000
Speaker 1: this and I'm like, first off, the schedule is not

1392
01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:49,640
Speaker 1: very difficult, right. This division actually looks out in that

1393
01:10:49,720 --> 01:10:53,559
Speaker 1: regard in my opinion, agreed. So I look at nine fourteen,

1394
01:10:53,640 --> 01:10:57,519
Speaker 1: nine eight, they go, they play San Francisco, they go

1395
01:10:57,560 --> 01:11:00,280
Speaker 1: to Seattle and to Buffalo. I think they probably all

1396
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:02,800
Speaker 1: three of those games, right, And then I look at

1397
01:11:02,800 --> 01:11:04,240
Speaker 1: the rest of this. I'm just like, man, they can

1398
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,800
Speaker 1: win all these games. But here's the thing, They're not

1399
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:10,000
Speaker 1: going to Nope, They're just not like I don't I

1400
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,960
Speaker 1: don't see there's no reason for me to There's nothing

1401
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,680
Speaker 1: for me to hang on to here. I'm not climbing

1402
01:11:17,640 --> 01:11:21,880
Speaker 1: this mountain because there's no hand holds for me. And

1403
01:11:21,960 --> 01:11:23,439
Speaker 1: on top of that, I don't even feel like I've

1404
01:11:23,439 --> 01:11:25,479
Speaker 1: got a rope. I'm not even gonna I'm not even

1405
01:11:25,560 --> 01:11:27,800
Speaker 1: leaving the ground when it comes to them. So yes,

1406
01:11:27,840 --> 01:11:30,680
Speaker 1: I'm going under because they're gonna have to prove to

1407
01:11:30,720 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 1: me that they're actually an NFL football team, not that

1408
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:36,240
Speaker 1: they don't have talented players or whatever else, but like,

1409
01:11:37,320 --> 01:11:41,280
Speaker 1: I know nothing about Tyler Shuck, and I continue to

1410
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:44,240
Speaker 1: believe that anyone who claims that they do outside of

1411
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:46,880
Speaker 1: what they've seen from camp, and maybe if you're a

1412
01:11:46,920 --> 01:11:48,559
Speaker 1: diehard fan, you go back and you try to find

1413
01:11:48,600 --> 01:11:50,479
Speaker 1: all the footage you can from him in college or

1414
01:11:50,479 --> 01:11:53,400
Speaker 1: whatever like that, But like, nobody knows what he's gonna be.

1415
01:11:53,840 --> 01:11:55,680
Speaker 1: And I still just think that it's one of the

1416
01:11:55,680 --> 01:11:59,120
Speaker 1: most baffling draft decisions that I have seen, and just

1417
01:11:59,160 --> 01:12:01,280
Speaker 1: his name popping up up in the three weeks before

1418
01:12:01,320 --> 01:12:03,280
Speaker 1: the draft, I just think it's gonna be a bad

1419
01:12:03,280 --> 01:12:06,880
Speaker 1: football team. They may be more interesting just because Kellen

1420
01:12:06,920 --> 01:12:09,480
Speaker 1: Moore might be more exciting with what he does offensively,

1421
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,040
Speaker 1: but it's hard to be exciting when half the passes

1422
01:12:12,080 --> 01:12:15,360
Speaker 1: are incomplete, a third of them are coming the other direction,

1423
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:18,240
Speaker 1: and there's no blocking. So I just I feel like

1424
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:19,760
Speaker 1: it's a four win team. Yeah.

1425
01:12:19,800 --> 01:12:23,280
Speaker 7: The States reporter Nick Underhill said that he led the

1426
01:12:23,320 --> 01:12:26,920
Speaker 7: worst two minute offense that he had ever seen in

1427
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:30,120
Speaker 7: practice last week Tyler Shuck, So I guess I'm still

1428
01:12:30,120 --> 01:12:32,600
Speaker 7: of the belief that Spencer Rattler could come out of

1429
01:12:32,640 --> 01:12:36,840
Speaker 7: nowhere and they could win like four games, maybe five.

1430
01:12:37,600 --> 01:12:41,879
Speaker 7: So I'm on the Rattler, like I am, I am there.

1431
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:43,800
Speaker 1: Wait a sec are you like? Is that like the

1432
01:12:43,880 --> 01:12:47,080
Speaker 1: high end though undersunding, Like there's like there's hope for

1433
01:12:47,200 --> 01:12:49,320
Speaker 1: us to win five games?

1434
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:51,800
Speaker 8: Tyler shuck. I think it's like a one win team.

1435
01:12:52,160 --> 01:12:54,240
Speaker 7: But it's like Spencer Rattler's there.

1436
01:12:54,760 --> 01:12:56,599
Speaker 8: I don't know.

1437
01:12:56,800 --> 01:12:57,400
Speaker 1: I can't even.

1438
01:12:57,520 --> 01:12:58,840
Speaker 8: I don't know. I don't know how to I don't

1439
01:12:58,880 --> 01:13:01,120
Speaker 8: know how to feel. It's hard. It's hard to say.

1440
01:13:01,200 --> 01:13:02,760
Speaker 7: I don't want to like you. We're not gonna like

1441
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:05,360
Speaker 7: a tank for Arch like that. I just don't think

1442
01:13:05,360 --> 01:13:07,800
Speaker 7: that's really likely. So I think we're just in a

1443
01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:10,720
Speaker 7: really dark place. We're going back to like the the

1444
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:13,160
Speaker 7: the paper bags over the head, the whole foods ones now,

1445
01:13:13,400 --> 01:13:15,400
Speaker 7: like that's where we're headed the aints.

1446
01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:16,440
Speaker 8: That's how I feel.

1447
01:13:16,720 --> 01:13:20,400
Speaker 2: Really quick bow on this. There's been so much weird

1448
01:13:20,760 --> 01:13:24,519
Speaker 2: Arch to Cleveland stuff, and maybe we talk about that

1449
01:13:24,560 --> 01:13:26,920
Speaker 2: in hour three. You know what, I'll save this take.

1450
01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:29,080
Speaker 1: For hour we can do Yeah, we'll do it nour three.

1451
01:13:29,320 --> 01:13:31,679
Speaker 2: Uh, we will do it in an hour three because

1452
01:13:31,720 --> 01:13:34,160
Speaker 2: coming up next, Steve Disager is gonna get you caught

1453
01:13:34,240 --> 01:13:36,880
Speaker 2: up on everything that you missed from throughout the day,

1454
01:13:37,840 --> 01:13:40,639
Speaker 2: probably not talking about the Saints though. Fox Sports Radio

Speaker 2: you missed. Steve de Sager, take it away.

1461
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:02,080
Speaker 6: And you mentioned college football. It is just two weeks

1462
01:14:02,120 --> 01:14:05,559
Speaker 6: away until the so called Week zero when five five

1463
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:09,000
Speaker 6: different games will take place. Most everybody else opens their

1464
01:14:09,080 --> 01:14:11,920
Speaker 6: season the next weekend late August. But there is a

1465
01:14:11,960 --> 01:14:15,680
Speaker 6: Fox game in two weeks Fresno State at Kansas and

1466
01:14:15,720 --> 01:14:18,360
Speaker 6: there's a Hawaii home game against Stanford, and there's the

1467
01:14:18,400 --> 01:14:21,040
Speaker 6: Dublin game that day. In a couple of weeks, Kansas

1468
01:14:21,080 --> 01:14:22,400
Speaker 6: State against Iowa State.

1469
01:14:22,439 --> 01:14:24,639
Speaker 2: Can I jump in really quick, leaves? I was looking

1470
01:14:24,680 --> 01:14:29,080
Speaker 2: at Kansas State today. Crazy schedule quirk because they play

1471
01:14:29,120 --> 01:14:32,560
Speaker 2: Week zero, they then play Week one, Week two Friday

1472
01:14:32,680 --> 01:14:36,559
Speaker 2: of Week three. A third of their season is over

1473
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:41,520
Speaker 2: before September twelfth. That just sounds preposterous.

1474
01:14:41,560 --> 01:14:45,200
Speaker 6: Can they get Skyler Thompson back, take some guys in.

1475
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:49,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, It's just it's like they're gonna they're either gonna

1476
01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:53,000
Speaker 2: be really happy with where they are or conceivably down

1477
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,759
Speaker 2: in the dumps by like mid September. Just I couldn't

1478
01:14:55,760 --> 01:14:56,959
Speaker 2: believe that when I saw.

1479
01:14:56,760 --> 01:15:00,840
Speaker 6: That most most teams do open late August, and there

1480
01:15:00,880 --> 01:15:04,559
Speaker 6: will be a late last Friday night of August, a

1481
01:15:04,640 --> 01:15:07,960
Speaker 6: Fox Friday Night game with Auburn at Baylor, and then

1482
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:13,000
Speaker 6: the game the first big noon kickoff Saturday, August thirtieth,

1483
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,320

1486
01:15:23,040 --> 01:15:25,960
Speaker 6: twenty five for preseason due to come out Monday. We

1487
01:15:26,040 --> 01:15:28,600
Speaker 6: have a lot of NFL to discuss, including some of

1488
01:15:28,600 --> 01:15:31,040
Speaker 6: the late night games the Jets have Justin Fields at

1489
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:34,240
Speaker 6: quarterback now. He had a thirteen yard touchdown run and

1490
01:15:34,280 --> 01:15:36,840
Speaker 6: a win at Green Bay thirty to ten. Not much

1491
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:39,960
Speaker 6: offense from the Packers Jordan Love won of five passing

1492
01:15:40,040 --> 01:15:42,400
Speaker 6: in his two drives. In fact, they only had thirty

1493
01:15:42,400 --> 01:15:45,240
Speaker 6: two yards of offense while he was in there.

1494
01:15:45,880 --> 01:15:46,120
Speaker 2: Yeah.

1495
01:15:46,160 --> 01:15:49,400
Speaker 6: For the game at Green Bay, on third down conversions,

1496
01:15:49,479 --> 01:15:53,320
Speaker 6: Packers were one for ten, Denver thirty to nine winners.

1497
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:57,760
Speaker 6: At San Francisco, all three San Francisco quarterbacks used through interceptions,

1498
01:15:57,800 --> 01:16:01,320
Speaker 6: including mac Jones. Niners offense on third down conversions one

1499
01:16:01,400 --> 01:16:04,800
Speaker 6: for twelve. In fact, after the Niners opening drive, they

1500
01:16:04,840 --> 01:16:08,360
Speaker 6: had ten drives tonight, only eight first downs and four turnovers.

1501
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:11,479
Speaker 6: Bo Nicks of Denver six of eleven, passing just thirty

1502
01:16:11,479 --> 01:16:14,759
Speaker 6: one yards one safety as well on his intentional grounding,

1503
01:16:14,760 --> 01:16:18,000
Speaker 6: They were down nine to nothing. Jared's Didham fourteen to fifteen,

1504
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:20,879
Speaker 6: passing one hundred and thirty six yards and two scores.

1505
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,919
Speaker 6: Arizona edge Kansas City twenty to seventeen. The Cards fumbled

1506
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:28,160
Speaker 6: the opening kickoff this evening, Patrick Mahomes shortly after with

1507
01:16:28,240 --> 01:16:31,559

Speaker 6: Bailey Zappi through two interceptions for the Arizona side, which

1510
01:16:38,280 --> 01:16:40,840
Speaker 6: wound up winning. For what it's worth, Kyler Murray seven

1511
01:16:40,880 --> 01:16:44,839
Speaker 6: of eight ninety six yards, one interception, and Jacoby Bursett

1512

1517
01:17:03,640 --> 01:17:05,400

Speaker 1: Smokes, I got a shot.

1519
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:10,920
Speaker 2: He just kicked a seventy yard day.

1520
01:17:11,640 --> 01:17:12,640
Speaker 6: Are you kidding me?

1521
01:17:12,800 --> 01:17:15,720
Speaker 1: Crazy? That's crazy?

1522
01:17:15,880 --> 01:17:20,880
Speaker 2: The NFL record. That would be an NFL record in.

1523
01:17:20,760 --> 01:17:21,519
Speaker 6: The first half.

1524
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:25,120
Speaker 1: Holy smokes, that's unbelievable.

1525
01:17:25,400 --> 01:17:27,320
Speaker 2: Kind of is the record is a second?

1526
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,400
Speaker 1: You know what I love is him saying I've never

1527
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:32,479
Speaker 1: seen that, No kidding, it would be a record. No

1528
01:17:32,560 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 1: one has ever seen that. No.

1529
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:36,760
Speaker 6: I was a big russell Erkslaven fan back in the day.

1530
01:17:36,800 --> 01:17:40,160
Speaker 6: But even I don't recall. Yeah, the NFL record is

1531
01:17:40,200 --> 01:17:42,400
Speaker 6: still sixty six yards because that was done in the

1532
01:17:42,439 --> 01:17:45,400
Speaker 6: regular season. But this guy, a sixth rounder, yes, a

1533
01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:49,559
Speaker 6: drafted kicker from Arkansas a year ago, four for four

1534
01:17:49,600 --> 01:17:53,160
Speaker 6: on field goals. Tonight hit from forty forty one, fifty two,

1535
01:17:53,320 --> 01:17:56,080
Speaker 6: and seventy and he had a fifty nine yard or

1536
01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,959
Speaker 6: in a real game last year at college at Arkansas.

1537
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:01,599
Speaker 6: He made eighty three percent of his field goal attempts,

1538
01:18:01,640 --> 01:18:03,960
Speaker 6: and he was perfect on the college extra points for

1539
01:18:04,000 --> 01:18:07,920
Speaker 6: his career one twenty nine out of one twenty nine.

1540
01:18:08,200 --> 01:18:11,280
Speaker 6: Running Back Caleb Johnson of the Steelers eight carries just

1541
01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:15,000
Speaker 6: twenty yards rushing tonight, but Mason Rudolph was nine of

1542
01:18:15,080 --> 01:18:18,320
Speaker 6: ten passing eighty four yards in a score Skyler Thompson

1543
01:18:18,320 --> 01:18:21,360
Speaker 6: three touchdown passes. Steelers won at Jacksonville thirty one to

1544
01:18:21,400 --> 01:18:24,840
Speaker 6: twenty five, and Trevor Lawrence did play. Had one drive

1545
01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:26,679
Speaker 6: they got a field goal. It was a twelve play

1546
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:29,760
Speaker 6: drive about seven and a half minutes. Lawrence was six

1547
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:33,559
Speaker 6: of seven forty three yards. Rams beat Dallas thirty one

1548
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:38,080
Speaker 6: to twenty one, shockingly close final score considering how things started,

1549
01:18:38,840 --> 01:18:42,320
Speaker 6: because in the first quarter, Dallas had two possessions, two punts,

1550
01:18:42,760 --> 01:18:45,439
Speaker 6: Rams had two touchdowns Blake Korum a couple of short

1551
01:18:45,479 --> 01:18:47,559
Speaker 6: TV runs, but by the end of the first quarter,

1552
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:50,679
Speaker 6: the Rams had a stats advantage of ten first downs

1553
01:18:50,720 --> 01:18:54,439
Speaker 6: to none. The yard age was one sixty to one.

1554
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,400
Speaker 6: Dallas didn't even have a rushing attempt in the first quarter.

1555
01:18:58,840 --> 01:19:00,680
Speaker 6: They only had the ball for about a minute and

1556
01:19:00,720 --> 01:19:03,479
Speaker 6: a half of the first fifteen minutes. By the end

1557
01:19:03,520 --> 01:19:06,000
Speaker 6: of the game, there were nineteen total penalties and almost

1558
01:19:06,040 --> 01:19:09,679
Speaker 6: one hundred and ninety yards in penalties. Minnesota beat Houston

1559
01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 6: twenty to ten. Jordan Addison is facing a regular season suspension,

1560
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:16,960
Speaker 6: but he can be in camp and be in preseason

1561
01:19:17,040 --> 01:19:20,280
Speaker 6: games and had three receptions. There was a Minnesota injury

1562
01:19:20,600 --> 01:19:23,519
Speaker 6: rand Rondel Moore again, remember what he was with Arizona.

1563
01:19:23,520 --> 01:19:26,559
Speaker 6: He was carted off with Minnesota today knee injury on

1564
01:19:26,600 --> 01:19:28,800
Speaker 6: a punt return, even as coach said it did not

1565
01:19:28,920 --> 01:19:31,519
Speaker 6: look good. The Vikings as a team on the ground

1566
01:19:31,600 --> 01:19:34,800
Speaker 6: thirty carries but just eighty six yards rushing. By the way,

1567
01:19:34,840 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 6: with the new rules, there were eight kickoffs in the game,

1568
01:19:37,280 --> 01:19:41,200
Speaker 6: only one touch back. In the Giants at Buffalo thirteen

1569
01:19:41,320 --> 01:19:45,040
Speaker 6: kickoffs in the game, only three touchbacks. Remember, if they

1570
01:19:45,120 --> 01:19:49,120
Speaker 6: kick it properly into the quote landing zone, things go

1571
01:19:49,280 --> 01:19:51,200
Speaker 6: well and you can cover, and we're going to see

1572
01:19:51,200 --> 01:19:54,400
Speaker 6: more returns this year. But if it's a touchback, comes

1573
01:19:54,400 --> 01:19:56,200
Speaker 6: out to thirty five, not the thirty.

1574

01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:46,679
Speaker 1: I mean, it's more important, I understand that for sure,

1640
01:23:46,800 --> 01:23:50,519
Speaker 1: but like a lot of good college football, and there's

1641
01:23:50,560 --> 01:23:52,519
Speaker 1: no way for me to just tape it all and

1642
01:23:52,560 --> 01:23:54,559
Speaker 1: then come back because I'm not gonna have the time

1643
01:23:54,600 --> 01:23:56,360
Speaker 1: to then come back and watch all that. I'm just

1644
01:23:56,360 --> 01:23:58,400
Speaker 1: gonna have to I'm just gonna have to accept that

1645
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:00,000
Speaker 1: it's just gonna be a weekend I'm gonna miss.

1646
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:01,120
Speaker 2: When do you get back.

1647
01:24:01,880 --> 01:24:05,720
Speaker 1: I'll get back, We'll probably come back. We'll probably be

1648
01:24:05,800 --> 01:24:08,080
Speaker 1: back Monday. I bet we don't know all the way back.

1649
01:24:07,880 --> 01:24:12,640
Speaker 2: Sunday, so because Sunday even the Notre Dame uh and uh.

01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:14,760

Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's so many good games. Yes, Unfortunately, it

1656
01:24:25,600 --> 01:24:28,160
Speaker 2: looks like the Oklahoma Sooners are playing a six Eastern

1657
01:24:28,200 --> 01:24:31,719

Speaker 2: and Plank were in. They'll be back tomorrow. Let's uh,

1683
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:53,880
Speaker 2: let's get back on track here, jam Mark, let's talk

1684
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:56,519
Speaker 2: about the story of the weekend. It did come on

1685
01:25:56,640 --> 01:26:02,759
Speaker 2: Friday night in North Carolina. Mary mac Let's, Uh, let's

1686
01:26:02,760 --> 01:26:06,519
Speaker 2: hear how things went for one Shador Sanders Friday night

1687
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:07,919
Speaker 2: in Charlotte.

1688
01:26:07,960 --> 01:26:10,680
Speaker 1: Shaudor playfake looking end zone, lofting.

1689
01:26:10,360 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 3: Back quarter of the end zone and it is put

1690
01:26:14,760 --> 01:26:21,839
Speaker 3: touchdown Cayden Davis and Shador Sanders has his first career

1691
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:23,400
Speaker 3: NFL touchdown.

1692
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:27,960
Speaker 2: That was Brown's radio network Nott Panthers radio network Color.

1693
01:26:28,040 --> 01:26:28,840
Speaker 1: That doesn't count.

1694
01:26:30,200 --> 01:26:31,599
Speaker 2: It doesn't count the touchdown.

1695
01:26:31,840 --> 01:26:35,720
Speaker 1: That's not his first NFL touchdown? Well what is if

1696
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:38,839
Speaker 1: that's not If that's if that doesn't count, If that counts,

1697
01:26:38,880 --> 01:26:41,080
Speaker 1: then the seventy year old, this is the seventy yard

1698
01:26:41,120 --> 01:26:42,080
Speaker 1: field goal has to count.

1699
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:47,160
Speaker 2: Sure that's fair? Oh yeah, uh, I.

1700
01:26:47,200 --> 01:26:50,000
Speaker 1: Mean, I hope. I'm not saying that. No, it's not impressive.

1701
01:26:50,080 --> 01:26:53,519
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that, you know, I want I want

1702
01:26:53,520 --> 01:26:55,160
Speaker 1: to see Shoudor do this in a regular game, and

1703
01:26:55,200 --> 01:26:57,200
Speaker 1: I want that to be regarded as his first one.

1704
01:26:57,240 --> 01:26:59,479
Speaker 1: I can understand why you would say it, but yeah,

1705
01:26:59,560 --> 01:27:01,479
Speaker 1: I just that's kind of pushing it a little bit,

1706
01:27:01,520 --> 01:27:01,720
Speaker 1: you know.

1707
01:27:01,960 --> 01:27:04,960
Speaker 2: I will also say unrelated because now this segment is

1708
01:27:05,000 --> 01:27:07,559
Speaker 2: just completely off the rails, off the rails completely, Yes,

1709
01:27:07,720 --> 01:27:11,439
Speaker 2: it It is kind of weird that if something record

1710
01:27:11,479 --> 01:27:13,880
Speaker 2: setting happens in the preseason that it just doesn't count

1711
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:16,120
Speaker 2: at all. Like I feel like a seventy yard field

1712
01:27:16,120 --> 01:27:18,559
Speaker 2: goal should count in the record books, even if it's

1713
01:27:18,560 --> 01:27:20,200
Speaker 2: a preseason I don't know. Maybe I'm crazy on that.

1714
01:27:20,200 --> 01:27:22,920
Speaker 2: I haven't. I haven't really like given time to think

1715
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:24,080
Speaker 2: about it. Maybe it shouldn't.

1716
01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:24,439
Speaker 1: I guess.

1717
01:27:24,479 --> 01:27:28,400
Speaker 2: I don't know, Like if Kobe Bryant scored ninety points

1718
01:27:28,439 --> 01:27:30,599
Speaker 2: in a preseason game, like we would still probably talk

1719
01:27:30,640 --> 01:27:31,400
Speaker 2: about eighty one.

1720
01:27:31,439 --> 01:27:31,720
Speaker 1: I don't know.

1721
01:27:31,800 --> 01:27:35,040
Speaker 2: I'm just I'm just thinking out that fair enough. But

1722
01:27:35,120 --> 01:27:38,360
Speaker 2: Shador Sanders Uh we talked about an hour one, So

1723
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:40,080
Speaker 2: if you missed it, go back and down load the podcast.

1724
01:27:40,160 --> 01:27:44,280
Speaker 2: But I let's just talk really quick. Listen my big

1725
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:46,360
Speaker 2: takeaway and I will get it back. Go get it

1726
01:27:46,400 --> 01:27:48,439
Speaker 2: over to you, J mart Is, Listen.

1727
01:27:49,640 --> 01:27:49,920
Speaker 1: One.

1728
01:27:50,240 --> 01:27:52,720
Speaker 2: I think that if you want, if you did not

1729
01:27:52,840 --> 01:27:55,639
Speaker 2: believe in Shador, this means nothing to you and it's

1730
01:27:55,640 --> 01:27:57,960
Speaker 2: only the preseason and he's playing against backups and it

1731
01:27:58,000 --> 01:28:00,200
Speaker 2: doesn't really matter. I think if you were should or

1732
01:28:00,320 --> 01:28:03,639
Speaker 2: believer it's the greatest thing ever, and I do think

1733
01:28:03,680 --> 01:28:07,160
Speaker 2: it is frankly somewhere in between. The only thing that

1734
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,080
Speaker 2: I will say it is not nothing because at the

1735
01:28:11,160 --> 01:28:14,760
Speaker 2: end of the day, for whatever reason, he was still

1736
01:28:14,800 --> 01:28:16,880
Speaker 2: a fifth round pick. There are a lot of fifth

1737
01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:20,679
Speaker 2: round picks that do not get opportunities in this league,

1738
01:28:21,240 --> 01:28:24,280
Speaker 2: certainly not to start a preseason game, to play into

1739
01:28:24,280 --> 01:28:26,200
Speaker 2: the second half. I mean, he got five to six

1740
01:28:26,760 --> 01:28:32,000
Speaker 2: series and drives yesterday to at minimum put put you know,

1741
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,559
Speaker 2: stuff on tape, but even better impressed the guys in

1742
01:28:36,600 --> 01:28:39,600
Speaker 2: that building. And so you can't say it's nothing for

1743
01:28:39,720 --> 01:28:42,720
Speaker 2: a guy that is on a roster that currently has

1744
01:28:43,200 --> 01:28:46,760
Speaker 2: six quarterbacks. We know they're not keeping all of them,

1745
01:28:47,280 --> 01:28:49,240
Speaker 2: but he made the case that he should be one

1746
01:28:49,280 --> 01:28:52,080
Speaker 2: that is kept. And then, I think, more importantly, in

1747
01:28:52,120 --> 01:28:55,880
Speaker 2: an organization where there clearly is not a future at

1748
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:00,599
Speaker 2: quarterback on the roster, he took the first step towards

1749
01:29:00,600 --> 01:29:04,320
Speaker 2: maybe being that future. So I get that we're not

1750
01:29:04,840 --> 01:29:07,519
Speaker 2: nobody's making a bust for him and can but you

1751
01:29:07,600 --> 01:29:10,799
Speaker 2: can't say that it means nothing specifically with that organization.

1752
01:29:11,560 --> 01:29:13,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I mean I think that's all right. Again,

1753
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:16,519
Speaker 1: I don't think that it doesn't mean the preseason doesn't

1754
01:29:16,560 --> 01:29:19,720
Speaker 1: mean the same for every single player. Depends on the situation.

1755
01:29:20,320 --> 01:29:22,360
Speaker 1: It depends on where they were drafted, if they were

1756
01:29:22,439 --> 01:29:26,439
Speaker 1: drafted or if you know they're trying to make that roster,

1757
01:29:26,560 --> 01:29:29,360
Speaker 1: even if they were picked up afterwards as a UDFA

1758
01:29:29,600 --> 01:29:32,200
Speaker 1: or whatever like that. But in the case of shedelor Sanders,

1759
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:35,240
Speaker 1: especially with that crowded quarterback room, you got to be

1760
01:29:35,320 --> 01:29:38,960
Speaker 1: able to maximize every opportunity that you get because you're

1761
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:42,320
Speaker 1: not guaranteed another one. And so because of how everything

1762
01:29:42,400 --> 01:29:44,200
Speaker 1: sets up for him to be able to open the

1763
01:29:44,240 --> 01:29:49,320
Speaker 1: preseason as QB one in this scenario, he had to

1764
01:29:49,360 --> 01:29:51,920
Speaker 1: take this thing as best he could. He had to

1765
01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:57,040
Speaker 1: maximize this opportunity. And yeah, the numbers don't blow you away,

1766
01:29:57,120 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 1: but I don't really care as much about the numbers

1767
01:29:59,600 --> 01:30:02,080
Speaker 1: as how did he look out there? And he looked polois,

1768
01:30:02,240 --> 01:30:05,320
Speaker 1: He look confident, he looked like he should have been

1769
01:30:05,320 --> 01:30:09,360
Speaker 1: out there, made some nice plays, did some good things,

1770
01:30:09,439 --> 01:30:11,760
Speaker 1: and that's what you really wanted to see. I'm not

1771
01:30:11,960 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 1: surprised that we saw that. I was much more surprised

1772
01:30:15,360 --> 01:30:17,559
Speaker 1: at where he was drafted than how he performed in

1773
01:30:17,560 --> 01:30:22,400
Speaker 1: his first preseason game. The preseason is not really applicable

1774
01:30:22,439 --> 01:30:23,680
Speaker 1: to what he's gonna be able to do in a

1775
01:30:23,720 --> 01:30:27,280
Speaker 1: regular season if given the opportunity. But he has put

1776
01:30:27,360 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 1: himself in a position where almost everything that you've heard

1777
01:30:31,880 --> 01:30:34,479
Speaker 1: about Shador Sanders over the last six months has been

1778
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:37,920
Speaker 1: couched with some kind of negativity. This doesn't This is

1779
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,559
Speaker 1: just a positive thing, and it just it kind of

1780
01:30:40,680 --> 01:30:43,920
Speaker 1: stops the momentum train of everything going in the wrong

1781
01:30:43,960 --> 01:30:47,599
Speaker 1: direction for him in terms of how he's been talked about,

1782
01:30:47,920 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 1: how he's been criticized, how he's been covered, to where

1783
01:30:50,720 --> 01:30:52,240
Speaker 1: it's just like, all right, now he's back on the

1784
01:30:52,240 --> 01:30:54,479
Speaker 1: football field. Now a lot of this stuff hopefully can

1785
01:30:54,560 --> 01:30:56,200
Speaker 1: just kind of center around that.

1786
01:30:57,520 --> 01:31:02,000
Speaker 2: Don't disagree. Again, we're not saying that we're sending him

1787
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:05,879
Speaker 2: to Canton, but a productive first night for Shador Sanders,

1788
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:11,200
Speaker 2: two touchdown passes, fourteen of twenty three passing, and like

1789
01:31:11,200 --> 01:31:15,400
Speaker 2: we said in an organization that you know they need

1790
01:31:15,600 --> 01:31:18,800
Speaker 2: some sort of answer at quarterback, and frankly, maybe the

1791
01:31:18,800 --> 01:31:23,040
Speaker 2: answer is not on the roster, but it probably isn't actually,

1792
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,920
Speaker 2: and so every one of that roster is not only

1793
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:30,599
Speaker 2: fighting for opportunity this year, but to prove that they

1794
01:31:30,640 --> 01:31:33,960
Speaker 2: are something that should be considered for the future. Shador

1795
01:31:34,040 --> 01:31:37,600
Speaker 2: Sanders takes a solid first step in that direction. The

1796
01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:42,040
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns do take care of business in Carolina on Saturday.

1797
01:31:42,080 --> 01:31:45,320
Speaker 2: On Friday night, excuse me. They return to the field

1798
01:31:45,400 --> 01:31:49,120
Speaker 2: a week from today in Philadelphia. We'll see if Shador

1799
01:31:49,200 --> 01:31:52,639
Speaker 2: Sanders is playing in that game. Fox Sports Radio Aertoris

1818
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:58,760
Speaker 2: sent over a segment idea today. I absolutely loved it.

1819
01:32:59,400 --> 01:33:02,320
Speaker 2: I want you to. Maybe I'm gonna throw it to

1820
01:33:02,400 --> 01:33:04,920
Speaker 2: you and we could get started in a minute, but

1821
01:33:05,160 --> 01:33:07,439
Speaker 2: kind of frame it and you don't have to give

1822
01:33:07,479 --> 01:33:10,840
Speaker 2: your example, or maybe you do, but you can probably

1823
01:33:10,880 --> 01:33:12,280
Speaker 2: explain it a little bit better than me. But I

1824
01:33:12,320 --> 01:33:14,719
Speaker 2: love the idea. Go ahead and explain to the audience

1825
01:33:14,760 --> 01:33:16,080
Speaker 2: what we're gonna be doing in the next few minutes.

1826
01:33:16,479 --> 01:33:18,200
Speaker 1: So we're gonna be hearing a lot in the next

1827
01:33:18,280 --> 01:33:22,799
Speaker 1: few weeks, especially leading into the regular season in the NFL.

1828
01:33:23,360 --> 01:33:25,080
Speaker 1: We're gonna be hearing a lot of takes. We're gonna

1829
01:33:25,080 --> 01:33:26,920
Speaker 1: hear a lot of opinions. We're gonna hear a lot

1830
01:33:26,920 --> 01:33:31,920
Speaker 1: of stuff that I think is gonna be flat out sensationalized, overplayed, overhyped,

1831
01:33:32,520 --> 01:33:37,960
Speaker 1: over discussed, just just blown wildly out of proportion. And

1832
01:33:38,080 --> 01:33:42,360
Speaker 1: so that got me to thinking, well, can we predict

1833
01:33:42,400 --> 01:33:44,519
Speaker 1: what those are going to be? And maybe have we

1834
01:33:44,640 --> 01:33:48,240
Speaker 1: already started to see some of those things take place.

1835
01:33:48,320 --> 01:33:50,800
Speaker 1: It doesn't necessarily mean that they're gonna turn out to

1836
01:33:50,800 --> 01:33:54,360
Speaker 1: be wrong. It just means that even though we have

1837
01:33:54,439 --> 01:33:57,679
Speaker 1: a bit less evidence than we should, people are still

1838
01:33:57,680 --> 01:34:00,680
Speaker 1: going to be all over these topics. Example, and I

1839
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:02,960
Speaker 1: can just give you mine then because it can be

1840
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:05,400
Speaker 1: the example, and then we can come back to me.

1841
01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:08,120
Speaker 1: Perhaps Jason kind of go to your example. Go ahead.

1842
01:34:08,200 --> 01:34:12,080
Speaker 1: My example is is it time to cut bait with

1843
01:34:12,240 --> 01:34:14,519
Speaker 1: Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears.

1844
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:18,120
Speaker 2: Oh that's a hot one on these internet streets and.

1845
01:34:18,560 --> 01:34:21,640
Speaker 1: All over the place. Man, Kayleb Williams is trash. This

1846
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:24,960
Speaker 1: Bears team is a disaster. There's red flags all over

1847
01:34:25,000 --> 01:34:27,400
Speaker 1: the place because of what we've heard about in practice.

1848
01:34:27,439 --> 01:34:29,719
Speaker 1: And also, can we at least get to the first

1849
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:32,640
Speaker 1: game of the season before we completely He's got a

1850
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:36,040
Speaker 1: new coach, everything is changing around him. I understand last

1851
01:34:36,080 --> 01:34:39,120
Speaker 1: year didn't go maybe as swimmingly as we thought, especially

1852
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:42,120
Speaker 1: considering what Jayden Daniels did. He may never be as

1853
01:34:42,160 --> 01:34:45,559
Speaker 1: good as Jayden Daniels. But I don't necessarily think that

1854
01:34:45,680 --> 01:34:48,559
Speaker 1: it is fair to already be cutting bait or be

1855
01:34:48,800 --> 01:34:54,760
Speaker 1: using practice like whatever's coming out of practices guys to

1856
01:34:55,040 --> 01:34:57,880
Speaker 1: bury his entire career. I think that we were a

1857
01:34:58,040 --> 01:35:01,080
Speaker 1: bit premature here, but it has It's definitely become a

1858
01:35:01,120 --> 01:35:03,439
Speaker 1: talking point, and that was kind of the one that

1859
01:35:03,520 --> 01:35:06,639
Speaker 1: got me thinking, well, what else is out there similar

1860
01:35:06,760 --> 01:35:10,280
Speaker 1: to this? That's just got me rolling my eyes every

1861
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:12,720
Speaker 1: time I hear it, like slow down their race. I

1862
01:35:12,720 --> 01:35:13,840
Speaker 1: don't think we're there yet.

1863
01:35:14,439 --> 01:35:16,080
Speaker 2: So I agree with you on a hundred percent. I

1864
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:18,160
Speaker 2: see this saga has a smile on his face. Do

1865
01:35:18,200 --> 01:35:19,680
Speaker 2: you have one that you'd like to do?

1866
01:35:19,840 --> 01:35:21,960
Speaker 6: But it's kind of going off the board because you

1867
01:35:22,000 --> 01:35:24,320
Speaker 6: two will have better ones. And I don't want to repeat,

1868
01:35:24,400 --> 01:35:29,600
Speaker 6: but the Colts quarterback competition between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson,

1869
01:35:30,560 --> 01:35:33,920
Speaker 6: I mean, are these two even gonna have careers in

1870
01:35:33,960 --> 01:35:36,280
Speaker 6: the NFL? Forget the fact if they're going to do

1871
01:35:36,320 --> 01:35:40,200
Speaker 6: anything for the Colts. Anthony Richardson played about as many

1872
01:35:40,200 --> 01:35:43,120
Speaker 6: college football games as Trey Lance. Sure, and I remember

1873
01:35:43,160 --> 01:35:47,599
Speaker 6: he had a great opener and was flashy against Tutah.

1874
01:35:47,880 --> 01:35:51,719
Speaker 6: You know, he just needs to play, and not being

1875
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:55,160
Speaker 6: healthy with the and not recognizing the sac Thursday night

1876
01:35:55,200 --> 01:35:57,599
Speaker 6: didn't help, but at least he was back at practice today.

1877
01:35:58,320 --> 01:36:01,160
Speaker 6: I just think there's too many layers of does this

1878
01:36:01,200 --> 01:36:02,960
Speaker 6: even matter in this story?

1879
01:36:03,760 --> 01:36:06,719
Speaker 2: Well, I'll tell you what that actually leads perfectly into mine,

1880
01:36:07,320 --> 01:36:12,320
Speaker 2: one of mine. It's not perfect, it's not perfectly fit

1881
01:36:12,400 --> 01:36:16,160
Speaker 2: into this this window. We gotta stop with the arch

1882
01:36:16,240 --> 01:36:20,479
Speaker 2: Manning mad libs. Like it just it just feels like, oh,

1883
01:36:20,720 --> 01:36:25,280
Speaker 2: pick a team, pick a situation, you know, like the

1884
01:36:25,560 --> 01:36:29,479
Speaker 2: Archie Manning thing this week was such a non story

1885
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:31,800
Speaker 2: and it was like it was the most boring story

1886
01:36:31,840 --> 01:36:33,760
Speaker 2: because it's like everyone has the same take. It's like,

1887
01:36:34,120 --> 01:36:36,840
Speaker 2: if he's totally awesome, he's gonna go pro. It doesn't

1888
01:36:36,840 --> 01:36:39,840
Speaker 2: matter what Grandpa says in August. He's gonna go pro.

1889
01:36:40,560 --> 01:36:42,160
Speaker 2: And if he isn't, then he'll go to the so

1890
01:36:42,320 --> 01:36:44,600
Speaker 2: state of Texas. And there's a New Orleans connection and

1891
01:36:45,240 --> 01:36:47,639
Speaker 2: with but this was this is what why I think

1892
01:36:47,680 --> 01:36:49,200
Speaker 2: it actually piggybacks off yours.

1893
01:36:50,880 --> 01:36:51,240
Speaker 1: Listen.

1894
01:36:52,280 --> 01:36:54,519
Speaker 2: I think I know where it originated with our colleague

1895
01:36:54,520 --> 01:36:56,920
Speaker 2: Colin Cowherd, who has always been very nice to me. Colin,

1896
01:36:56,960 --> 01:36:59,200
Speaker 2: if you're listening, I am not picking on you. But

1897
01:36:59,320 --> 01:37:02,800
Speaker 2: this whole thing, the Cleveland Browns, It's like so many

1898
01:37:02,800 --> 01:37:05,320
Speaker 2: things have to happen with the Browns for arch Manning

1899
01:37:05,320 --> 01:37:07,200
Speaker 2: to end up with the number one for Cleveland, end

1900
01:37:07,280 --> 01:37:09,599
Speaker 2: up with the number one overall pick. But here's the thing.

1901
01:37:09,720 --> 01:37:11,759
Speaker 6: Any way, they would have to get rid of six quarterbacks.

1902
01:37:11,800 --> 01:37:14,240
Speaker 2: They have to get rid of six quarterbacks. They he'd

1903
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:16,280
Speaker 2: have to be good enough, they need to take them.

1904
01:37:16,320 --> 01:37:19,000
Speaker 2: But here's my question. There are more, I don't want

1905
01:37:19,000 --> 01:37:21,600
Speaker 2: to say, more interesting teams, but there are certainly some

1906
01:37:21,760 --> 01:37:26,080
Speaker 2: scenarios that are just as intriguing, one of them.

1907
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:26,679
Speaker 1: Being New Orleans.

1908
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:30,880
Speaker 2: But what about Indianapolis If they go four and you

1909
01:37:30,880 --> 01:37:34,800
Speaker 2: know whatever, thirteen this year, they're gonna be drafting a quarterback,

1910
01:37:35,200 --> 01:37:37,799
Speaker 2: and so why not if we're gonna just start throwing

1911
01:37:37,920 --> 01:37:41,160
Speaker 2: darts at hypothetical landing spots for Arch Manning the place

1912
01:37:41,200 --> 01:37:43,960
Speaker 2: where his grandpa played in New Orleans, but also the

1913
01:37:44,000 --> 01:37:46,200
Speaker 2: place where his uncle played in Indianapolis.

1914
01:37:46,479 --> 01:37:49,679
Speaker 6: And the Raiders are gonna need a quarterback sooner than later.

1915
01:37:51,080 --> 01:37:54,120
Speaker 2: Yeah no, And so Arch was another one of mine

1916
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:58,439
Speaker 2: of just like we're just making stuff up right now

1917
01:37:58,439 --> 01:38:00,479
Speaker 2: because it's August and we just have no thing to

1918
01:38:00,560 --> 01:38:03,000
Speaker 2: talk about. And it's like we had a.

1919
01:38:02,920 --> 01:38:04,200
Speaker 6: Seventy yard field goal tonight.

1920
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah No, it's like, hey and j Mart, Yeah, I'll

1921
01:38:09,240 --> 01:38:10,559
Speaker 2: just say it, JAMR and I kind of have an

1922
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:13,599
Speaker 2: inside running joke about ESPN is just like, we need

1923
01:38:13,640 --> 01:38:17,080
Speaker 2: to kill a college football segment. Yeah, and Paul Fine Bombs.

1924
01:38:17,240 --> 01:38:19,599
Speaker 2: It's like, fine Bomb, just come up with something. He's like, okay,

1925
01:38:20,200 --> 01:38:24,479
Speaker 2: Arch best quarterback since Tebow. And it's just like that's

1926
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:24,960
Speaker 2: where we are.

1927
01:38:25,080 --> 01:38:27,240
Speaker 6: Is We're just I can go I can go further

1928
01:38:27,320 --> 01:38:30,040
Speaker 6: than that with ESPN. This is this is the bane

1929
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:33,760
Speaker 6: of having a twenty four hour operation and way too

1930
01:38:33,840 --> 01:38:37,400
Speaker 6: many talk shows. We need to kill a fill in

1931
01:38:37,439 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 6: the blank segment, yep, any show, No, there's no point.

1932
01:38:41,560 --> 01:38:44,439
Speaker 1: Also, can we have a take? Can we have a

1933
01:38:44,479 --> 01:38:47,360
Speaker 1: take that's hot enough guys that it can then help

1934
01:38:47,439 --> 01:38:50,280
Speaker 1: us kill those same segments on every other showy we

1935
01:38:50,320 --> 01:38:51,240
Speaker 1: do for that exactly.

1936
01:38:53,080 --> 01:38:58,320
Speaker 6: Can we have a Lebron James argument, let's make it twelve.

1937
01:38:58,400 --> 01:39:01,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's certainly well.

1938
01:39:00,920 --> 01:39:03,479
Speaker 6: And that's you know, the NFL is gonna be owning

1939
01:39:03,520 --> 01:39:04,679
Speaker 6: ten percent of that channel.

1940
01:39:05,000 --> 01:39:07,200
Speaker 1: Yeah. The richest guy, the richest guy on that network

1941
01:39:07,240 --> 01:39:09,360
Speaker 1: actually had a Lebron take on Friday. He's just like,

1942
01:39:09,479 --> 01:39:11,720
Speaker 1: you know, Lebron needs to go back to Cleveland.

1943
01:39:11,880 --> 01:39:15,960
Speaker 2: Oh my god, dude, I haven't heard that. Yeah, well, beast,

1944
01:39:16,000 --> 01:39:16,679
Speaker 2: go to the website.

1945
01:39:16,720 --> 01:39:18,760
Speaker 1: It's a giant splash screen in case you need it.

1946
01:39:18,760 --> 01:39:20,200
Speaker 6: Maybe I guess ninth very good.

1947
01:39:20,280 --> 01:39:22,439
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, maybe he can get a condo

1948
01:39:22,520 --> 01:39:25,080
Speaker 2: with Arch Manning. They'll just be besties and roomies and

1949
01:39:25,120 --> 01:39:27,800
Speaker 2: it'll be great. But now arch Manning is just like,

1950
01:39:28,280 --> 01:39:30,320
Speaker 2: we're just throwing we'll just make it stuff.

1951
01:39:30,439 --> 01:39:32,800
Speaker 6: Maybe Arch and Bronni get an apartment.

1952
01:39:33,000 --> 01:39:33,559
Speaker 2: There you go.

1953
01:39:33,720 --> 01:39:36,720
Speaker 6: Bronnie gets a real gig in Cleveland.

1954
01:39:36,560 --> 01:39:40,439
Speaker 2: Established as a career, gets an internship, a quicken loan.

1955
01:39:40,520 --> 01:39:41,439
Speaker 6: Now that's a second.

1956
01:39:41,720 --> 01:39:45,080
Speaker 2: Yeah, j Bart, do you have any I have another one,

1957
01:39:45,160 --> 01:39:48,240
Speaker 2: j Bar, but I'm curious if you have any others.

1958
01:39:48,600 --> 01:39:51,040
Speaker 1: Well one, I'm starting to see. I saw this and

1959
01:39:51,080 --> 01:39:55,840
Speaker 1: I was just like, what, don't be surprised if the

1960
01:39:55,880 --> 01:39:57,559
Speaker 1: Patriots win the East.

1961
01:39:58,400 --> 01:40:00,320
Speaker 2: Wow, that's that's a take right there.

1962
01:40:00,800 --> 01:40:03,720
Speaker 1: I'm just like, wait a second. I also heard that

1963
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,759
Speaker 1: the Bills were the favorites for the Super Bowl.

1964
01:40:06,080 --> 01:40:09,160
Speaker 6: I would be surprised if I'm still surprised.

1965
01:40:09,240 --> 01:40:12,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yeah, okay, yeah, but it's just like we

1966
01:40:12,240 --> 01:40:14,360
Speaker 1: don't need to let the under like. Look. Look, I

1967
01:40:14,439 --> 01:40:18,479
Speaker 1: covered Mike Rabel's entire tenure as the Tennessee Titans coach

1968
01:40:18,600 --> 01:40:22,000
Speaker 1: day after day here in Nashville. Dude's a good coach,

1969
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:22,960
Speaker 1: no question about that.

1970
01:40:23,120 --> 01:40:25,840
Speaker 6: The offense is after one game better, I can say

1971
01:40:25,880 --> 01:40:27,800
Speaker 6: that pretty much in pen at this point.

1972
01:40:28,200 --> 01:40:31,479
Speaker 1: There you go, you sharpie it, there Seth Davis. But

1973
01:40:32,360 --> 01:40:35,880
Speaker 1: past that, the Bills are better than the Patriots. Like

1974
01:40:35,960 --> 01:40:38,200
Speaker 1: I don't think that. I'm like jumping out on a

1975
01:40:38,240 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 1: limb there September. Yes, yeah, exactly so. I mean, I'm

1976
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:45,599
Speaker 1: just I think they're gonna be a better football team.

1977
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,559
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna be a much better football team.

1978
01:40:47,880 --> 01:40:50,280
Speaker 1: I do not think they're gonna win ten games. I

1979
01:40:50,280 --> 01:40:52,439
Speaker 1: don't think that we're quite there yet. Maybe they will.

1980
01:40:52,600 --> 01:40:54,240
Speaker 1: I mean, that'll be the story of the year if

1981
01:40:54,280 --> 01:40:56,559
Speaker 1: they do. But I'm starting to see more and more

1982
01:40:56,600 --> 01:40:59,160
Speaker 1: traction about how good the Patriots are gonna be. I

1983
01:40:59,160 --> 01:41:01,000
Speaker 1: think we need to slow down just a bit and

1984
01:41:01,040 --> 01:41:03,960
Speaker 1: wait until they play a few actual teams that actually care.

1985
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:06,160
Speaker 6: One team had four wins last year and the other

1986
01:41:06,200 --> 01:41:09,920
Speaker 6: had only four losses last year. And the James Cook

1987
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,400
Speaker 6: reference of Bill's running back by the way, he did

1988
01:41:12,479 --> 01:41:15,040
Speaker 6: actually warm up on the field today and then just

1989
01:41:15,160 --> 01:41:16,879
Speaker 6: chose not to play at Buffalo.

1990
01:41:17,960 --> 01:41:20,160
Speaker 2: That's the most preseason story I've ever heard in my life.

1991
01:41:20,439 --> 01:41:21,000
Speaker 1: Yes it is.

1992
01:41:21,479 --> 01:41:23,479
Speaker 6: Didn't see Micah Parsons tonight either.

1993
01:41:23,840 --> 01:41:26,920
Speaker 2: Oh huh, maybe with to Mike in a minute. I

1994
01:41:26,960 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 2: got another one in the AFC AFC East. As a

1995
01:41:30,439 --> 01:41:33,920
Speaker 2: matter of fact, I don't need the minute to minute

1996
01:41:34,479 --> 01:41:38,760
Speaker 2: highs and lows of Justin Fields, like I think we

1997
01:41:38,840 --> 01:41:41,320
Speaker 2: know exactly who he is as a quarterback. And it's

1998
01:41:41,360 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 2: funny I was thinking about this is there are certainly

1999
01:41:45,080 --> 01:41:47,880
Speaker 2: quarterbacks that have a kind of a revival late in

2000
01:41:47,960 --> 01:41:52,519
Speaker 2: their careers, but usually there's something surrounding it. Gino Smith

2001
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:54,720
Speaker 2: was a backup for like six years, could just be

2002
01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:56,439
Speaker 2: a backup. Then he came in, You're like, oh, he's

2003
01:41:56,520 --> 01:42:00,360
Speaker 2: kind of competent. Rich Gannon, rich Gannon, Sam darn I

2004
01:42:00,360 --> 01:42:02,760
Speaker 2: think he's gonna stake at Seattle. But you could see

2005
01:42:02,760 --> 01:42:07,599
Speaker 2: the scenario Kevin O'Connell, Justin Jefferson, whatever. Justin Fields has

2006
01:42:07,600 --> 01:42:10,880
Speaker 2: had the chance to start with two different teams, two

2007
01:42:10,880 --> 01:42:15,679
Speaker 2: different organizations in the last two years now. Admittedly, both

2008
01:42:15,760 --> 01:42:18,719
Speaker 2: of them were defensive first head coaches, so that probably

2009
01:42:18,760 --> 01:42:20,760
Speaker 2: didn't put him in the best position to Succeeed, here's

2010
01:42:20,800 --> 01:42:23,800
Speaker 2: the problem. He's with the defense first head coach with

2011
01:42:23,960 --> 01:42:30,160
Speaker 2: the New York Jets right now, and so like he's

2012
01:42:30,240 --> 01:42:33,360
Speaker 2: going to be exactly who he has been there is.

2013
01:42:34,920 --> 01:42:37,960
Speaker 6: Well, they hope he's who he was before these last

2014
01:42:37,960 --> 01:42:40,680
Speaker 6: two years, because we actually saw a quarterback rush for

2015
01:42:40,680 --> 01:42:42,240
Speaker 6: a thousand yards in one sea.

2016
01:42:42,400 --> 01:42:43,439
Speaker 1: They're fair.

2017
01:42:44,240 --> 01:42:46,840
Speaker 6: I don't know, it's just today his touchdown was the

2018
01:42:46,880 --> 01:42:49,479
Speaker 6: play breaks down he goes up the middle cuts right,

2019
01:42:49,520 --> 01:42:50,240
Speaker 6: it was impressive.

2020
01:42:50,280 --> 01:42:51,919
Speaker 2: Well, he did have a few of those in Pittsburgh

2021
01:42:51,960 --> 01:42:54,280
Speaker 2: last year. But it's just like, I don't know, maybe

2022
01:42:54,320 --> 01:42:56,680
Speaker 2: it's just the East Coast bias thing kicking in, or

2023
01:42:56,720 --> 01:42:59,479
Speaker 2: maybe I know too many New York people, but it's

2024
01:42:59,520 --> 01:43:03,760
Speaker 2: like both, Yeah, he's gonna be exactly who he's been.

2025
01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:09,120
Speaker 2: Andy happy he's getting a third, third opportunity. But I

2026
01:43:09,160 --> 01:43:12,040
Speaker 2: don't know. I just I don't think there's like I

2027
01:43:12,040 --> 01:43:14,200
Speaker 2: don't think it's gonna be Sam Darnold where it's like, oh,

2028
01:43:14,760 --> 01:43:17,080
Speaker 2: they won fourteen games or twelve games or made the

2029
01:43:17,080 --> 01:43:21,560
Speaker 2: playoffs or whatever. So it's another one of mine. Anybody else, anybody.

2030
01:43:21,200 --> 01:43:25,559
Speaker 1: Else have any go Oh, okay, let's do it. Jalen

2031
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:27,559
Speaker 1: Hurts is not good, dude.

2032
01:43:27,840 --> 01:43:29,720
Speaker 2: Did I tell you my Jalen Hurts thing?

2033
01:43:32,280 --> 01:43:33,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if you have or not.

2034
01:43:34,040 --> 01:43:37,240
Speaker 2: I told Martin Weiss this the other day. I said,

2035
01:43:37,320 --> 01:43:40,600
Speaker 2: Jalen Hurts is the new Dak. It's exactly what we

2036
01:43:40,760 --> 01:43:45,080
Speaker 2: just said. You need an NFL segment in July. For

2037
01:43:45,120 --> 01:43:47,960
Speaker 2: the past ten years it's been like, what is the

2038
01:43:48,000 --> 01:43:51,759
Speaker 2: Cowboys ceiling with Dak? You know, it was always Dak

2039
01:43:52,200 --> 01:43:54,479
Speaker 2: and now it just felt like this July it became

2040
01:43:54,840 --> 01:43:57,960
Speaker 2: we need a segment. How good is Jalen Hurts.

2041
01:43:58,200 --> 01:44:00,519
Speaker 6: The problem is Jalen can't hear you because he's got

2042
01:44:00,560 --> 01:44:01,960
Speaker 6: a super Bowl ring in his ears.

2043
01:44:02,040 --> 01:44:06,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he's the Yeah, he's the quarterback

2044
01:44:06,760 --> 01:44:10,160
Speaker 2: that's like, not a superstar. But just do you not.

2045
01:44:10,280 --> 01:44:13,400
Speaker 6: Remember the Super Bowl he lost? How awesome that game was?

2046
01:44:14,720 --> 01:44:15,160
Speaker 1: That game?

2047
01:44:15,280 --> 01:44:17,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'd say he's pretty good.

2048
01:44:17,439 --> 01:44:17,639
Speaker 1: Yeah.

2049
01:44:17,760 --> 01:44:20,680
Speaker 6: I just he has a chance if he puts up

2050
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:22,800
Speaker 6: one and more of those Super Bowls, win or lose,

2051
01:44:23,400 --> 01:44:26,160
Speaker 6: he has a chance of having like a Kurt Warner

2052
01:44:26,240 --> 01:44:28,479
Speaker 6: type of career who had three of the greatest Super

2053
01:44:28,520 --> 01:44:31,519
Speaker 6: Bowls and runs that we've seen, and he didn't win

2054
01:44:31,600 --> 01:44:33,360
Speaker 6: all of them, he still made the Hall of Fame.

2055
01:44:33,640 --> 01:44:36,800
Speaker 2: I yeah, I just the No, that's good question.

2056
01:44:36,880 --> 01:44:39,639
Speaker 1: Let me ask you just just a weird question. All right, Sure,

2057
01:44:40,320 --> 01:44:43,120
Speaker 1: if Lamar Jackson was a quarterback for the Eagles, would

2058
01:44:43,160 --> 01:44:44,320
Speaker 1: you have a super Bowl ring?

2059
01:44:44,720 --> 01:44:46,880
Speaker 6: I'm not convinced that's a pretty good line though.

2060
01:44:47,320 --> 01:44:48,240
Speaker 2: It's a great hype.

2061
01:44:48,320 --> 01:44:49,680
Speaker 6: I mean offensive line, not just.

2062
01:44:49,680 --> 01:44:52,000
Speaker 1: You know what I'm asking that, right, Like, let's say, Jay,

2063
01:44:52,000 --> 01:44:54,439
Speaker 1: when Hurts goes and wins another super Bowl, and they're

2064
01:44:54,479 --> 01:44:57,040
Speaker 1: going to credit it to Saquon Barkley and the defense

2065
01:44:57,080 --> 01:45:01,280
Speaker 1: and everybody else under the sun. Yet I feel like

2066
01:45:01,439 --> 01:45:04,000
Speaker 1: he would have then had a far superior career or

2067
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,439
Speaker 1: two then a multiple time MVP and Lamar Jackson.

2068
01:45:09,439 --> 01:45:11,360
Speaker 6: Yeah no, I mean he would have all of these

2069
01:45:11,439 --> 01:45:15,400
Speaker 6: Jackson playoffs literally almost all of them are very close losses,

2070
01:45:15,479 --> 01:45:18,679
Speaker 6: and at least half of those losses are such winnable games.

2071
01:45:18,800 --> 01:45:21,719
Speaker 6: I mean when he finally made the playoffs against the Chargers,

2072
01:45:21,720 --> 01:45:25,800
Speaker 6: this is pre COVID. He did nothing for three quarters

2073
01:45:25,920 --> 01:45:28,960
Speaker 6: on the field at home and still came close at

2074
01:45:28,960 --> 01:45:29,280
Speaker 6: the end.

2075
01:45:29,800 --> 01:45:33,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like that narrative. It just it's such

2076
01:45:33,280 --> 01:45:35,880
Speaker 2: a like that was one that was fair for like

2077
01:45:35,920 --> 01:45:40,000
Speaker 2: a year or two, and then last couple of years

2078
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,160
Speaker 2: hasn't worked out. But like last year he was fine,

2079
01:45:43,600 --> 01:45:46,639
Speaker 2: the tight end dropped back to back huge. I thought

2080
01:45:46,680 --> 01:45:49,240
Speaker 2: he outplayed Josh Allen in the playoffs, so I know

2081
01:45:49,320 --> 01:45:52,160
Speaker 2: we're not doing a Lamar take here at whatever. By

2082
01:45:52,200 --> 01:45:54,960
Speaker 2: the way, speaking of the Eagles, really quick, I understand

2083
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:57,880
Speaker 2: this notion. I heard this today. I couldn't believe it.

2084
01:45:58,200 --> 01:46:01,640
Speaker 2: I understand this notion that like you can't like a

2085
01:46:01,760 --> 01:46:04,679
Speaker 2: running back can't win MVP. And we saw it last

2086
01:46:04,720 --> 01:46:09,200
Speaker 2: year Saquon Barkley and the MVP odds is fifty to

2087
01:46:09,360 --> 01:46:10,240
Speaker 2: one right now.

2088
01:46:10,920 --> 01:46:12,080
Speaker 1: I'd take that all day.

2089
01:46:12,720 --> 01:46:15,240
Speaker 2: That's what I was gonna say. Behind Trevor Lawrence, Drake

2090
01:46:15,360 --> 01:46:17,080
Speaker 2: May and bow Knox.

2091
01:46:17,880 --> 01:46:20,679
Speaker 6: I can't believe it. The fantasy football people are looking

2092
01:46:20,720 --> 01:46:23,719
Speaker 6: at all the touches, including the postseason run that Barkley

2093
01:46:23,720 --> 01:46:26,760
Speaker 6: got last year, and saying you always go down the

2094
01:46:26,840 --> 01:46:28,960
Speaker 6: next year. Well, his high was so high.

2095
01:46:29,360 --> 01:46:31,400
Speaker 2: If he goes That's what I mean. Yeah, And I

2096
01:46:31,400 --> 01:46:35,960
Speaker 2: think if he has something close, it's like it's like

2097
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:39,600
Speaker 2: all these MVP awards is listen, Mahomes, the bar is

2098
01:46:39,640 --> 01:46:42,760
Speaker 2: so high. You know, Josh Allen just got it. So

2099
01:46:42,840 --> 01:46:45,200
Speaker 2: he's in theory gotta be as good or better. Lamar's

2100
01:46:45,240 --> 01:46:49,480
Speaker 2: got two. And I think if Saquon had something resembling

2101
01:46:49,600 --> 01:46:51,880
Speaker 2: the year that he had last year. So when he

2102
01:46:51,880 --> 01:46:57,200
Speaker 2: finished nineteen hundred yards, obviously somewhere in that ballpark. Like

2103
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:01,960
Speaker 2: if he finishes with seventeen fifty in a seventeen game

2104
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:05,439
Speaker 2: season and he does it again, I think people would

2105
01:47:05,439 --> 01:47:08,240
Speaker 2: be like, yeah, why why can't we get First of all,

2106
01:47:08,240 --> 01:47:09,360
Speaker 2: I think you should have won it last year, but

2107
01:47:09,439 --> 01:47:11,759
Speaker 2: it's like, why can't why can't he get that award?

2108
01:47:11,800 --> 01:47:14,160
Speaker 2: Some in two thousand and five that says.

2109
01:47:14,120 --> 01:47:16,599
Speaker 1: Was that here's I got it, So I got another

2110
01:47:16,640 --> 01:47:22,479
Speaker 1: one same state as my Eagles take. The Steelers are

2111
01:47:22,560 --> 01:47:27,600
Speaker 1: all in in twenty twenty five. I'm hearing that everywhere,

2112
01:47:27,680 --> 01:47:30,040
Speaker 1: and I'm like why because they have a forty thousand

2113
01:47:30,120 --> 01:47:34,439
Speaker 1: year old quarterback. Like I don't understand. I don't get it. Again.

2114
01:47:34,600 --> 01:47:36,720
Speaker 1: I am so down on the Steelers this year. And

2115
01:47:36,760 --> 01:47:39,519
Speaker 1: I love me some Mike Tomlin, but I think there's

2116
01:47:39,600 --> 01:47:40,840
Speaker 1: under five hundred this year.

2117
01:47:40,920 --> 01:47:43,080
Speaker 6: Last year was Dallas fill in the blank.

2118
01:47:43,160 --> 01:47:47,559
Speaker 1: All Yes, any Dallas take could fit in this in

2119
01:47:47,600 --> 01:47:52,880
Speaker 1: this conversation. This music underneath the music, Vine Milk is

2120
01:47:52,880 --> 01:47:54,960
Speaker 1: perfect for this. This is the cow I'm telling you.

2121
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:57,680
Speaker 1: The Steelers being all in I keep hearing it everywhere. Man,

2122
01:47:57,680 --> 01:47:59,880
Speaker 1: they got to do this for Aaron. No, they really don't,

2123
01:48:00,520 --> 01:48:03,400
Speaker 1: like they do. Not the team I'm most interested to

2124
01:48:03,439 --> 01:48:06,080
Speaker 1: see in that division, well, I guess it is Pittsburgh.

2125
01:48:06,080 --> 01:48:07,640
Speaker 1: But I want to see what Joe Burrow does this

2126
01:48:07,760 --> 01:48:10,680
Speaker 1: year because that was that last year was such a

2127
01:48:10,720 --> 01:48:13,840
Speaker 1: weird year for them, and Burrow has all this talent,

2128
01:48:13,880 --> 01:48:15,360
Speaker 1: so I want to see he's the guy that could

2129
01:48:15,360 --> 01:48:17,080
Speaker 1: come out being an MVP if he played.

2130
01:48:17,479 --> 01:48:18,639
Speaker 2: He's probably he's the one.

2131
01:48:19,800 --> 01:48:21,599
Speaker 1: But I still I like your Saquon take.

2132
01:48:22,040 --> 01:48:24,479
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just and it has nothing to do with

2133
01:48:24,560 --> 01:48:27,200
Speaker 2: like takes that that wasn't necessarily a take. But while

2134
01:48:27,200 --> 01:48:28,719
Speaker 2: we were on the Eagles, I was like, I can't

2135

Speaker 2: just crushing news as a tackle of that caliber out

2290
01:55:45,520 --> 01:55:45,960
Speaker 2: for the year.

2291
01:55:47,320 --> 01:55:50,200
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, obviously that's not good and left tackle

2292
01:55:50,240 --> 01:55:54,560
Speaker 1: being as important as it is in the league. I

2293
01:55:54,640 --> 01:55:56,520
Speaker 1: in terms of how I felt about the Chargers, I

2294
01:55:56,560 --> 01:55:58,880
Speaker 1: think I was a little more optimistic about him this year.

2295
01:55:59,440 --> 01:56:02,240
Speaker 1: You get year two of Harball. I mean, I don't

2296
01:56:02,240 --> 01:56:05,480
Speaker 1: think that. I think the highs that we've heard about

2297
01:56:05,600 --> 01:56:08,000
Speaker 1: justin Herbert sometimes are a little overblown and it makes

2298
01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,320
Speaker 1: it easy to criticize. But I also know the guys

2299
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:13,240
Speaker 1: are really talented. Can he put it all together when

2300
01:56:13,280 --> 01:56:15,200
Speaker 1: it comes to just being able to stay healthy and

2301
01:56:15,240 --> 01:56:18,520
Speaker 1: his guys? Does he have enough weapons around them not?

2302
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:22,800
Speaker 1: You know, you're right, they are actually better equipped because

2303
01:56:22,840 --> 01:56:27,920
Speaker 1: of alt to sustain Slater being an All Pro and

2304
01:56:27,960 --> 01:56:29,920
Speaker 1: losing your left tackle is just a huge deal. And

2305
01:56:29,960 --> 01:56:32,240
Speaker 1: for a lot of teams it would break their line.

2306
01:56:32,680 --> 01:56:35,840
Speaker 1: But the Chargers are actually in a spot where it's

2307
01:56:35,840 --> 01:56:38,360
Speaker 1: not gonna harm them quite as much. So I don't

2308
01:56:38,440 --> 01:56:42,320
Speaker 1: know that it really affects. It affects depth, but I

2309
01:56:42,320 --> 01:56:44,200
Speaker 1: don't know that it's gonna be, you know, the death

2310
01:56:44,240 --> 01:56:46,080
Speaker 1: knell for them. I still think they're gonna have a

2311
01:56:46,120 --> 01:56:49,120
Speaker 1: pretty good year. I don't know exactly. We'll get to

2312
01:56:49,120 --> 01:56:51,560
Speaker 1: those numbers when we do the AFC West and we

2313
01:56:51,600 --> 01:56:54,760
Speaker 1: can go through it all there. But it's a team

2314
01:56:54,800 --> 01:56:56,880
Speaker 1: that should make the playoffs, and if they don't, then

2315
01:56:56,920 --> 01:56:59,320
Speaker 1: the questions about Justin Herbert are going to be very loud.

2316
01:57:00,520 --> 01:57:05,200
Speaker 2: Don't disagree. The Chargers hosting the Saints at SOFI Stadium.

2317
01:57:05,200 --> 01:57:08,120
Speaker 2: That is a four pm Eastern start. Our buddy Steve

2318
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:09,880
Speaker 2: de Sager will be there. Hey, I do want to

2319
01:57:09,920 --> 01:57:13,000
Speaker 2: ask you Miami at Chicago's the early game. Now, listen,

2320
01:57:13,040 --> 01:57:16,560
Speaker 2: we just did the Caleb Williams. Let's not overreact. My

2321
01:57:16,760 --> 01:57:21,560
Speaker 2: My question is more about Ben Johnson has been. I

2322
01:57:21,600 --> 01:57:25,320
Speaker 2: actually really like how like vocal he's been and how

2323
01:57:25,400 --> 01:57:27,160
Speaker 2: much of a for lack of a better term, hard,

2324
01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:31,080
Speaker 2: you know what he's been really just you know, I didn't.

2325
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:33,120
Speaker 2: I don't know that I really knew what to expect

2326
01:57:33,120 --> 01:57:36,120
Speaker 2: from Ben Johnson. You know, I kind of thought he

2327
01:57:36,200 --> 01:57:38,920
Speaker 2: was like the quirky, mad scientist kind of guy, and I,

2328
01:57:38,960 --> 01:57:40,840
Speaker 2: you know, I kind of wondered how would he be

2329
01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,640
Speaker 2: as a leader of men quote unquote, But you know,

2330
01:57:43,680 --> 01:57:46,440
Speaker 2: he's kind of set the tone on what his expectations are.

2331
01:57:46,480 --> 01:57:48,360
Speaker 2: You know, he's thrown him out of practice a few times.

2332
01:57:48,360 --> 01:57:51,400
Speaker 2: He's been very vocal about Caleb isn't where we need

2333
01:57:51,480 --> 01:57:55,160
Speaker 2: him to be at various points since he took the job,

2334
01:57:55,720 --> 01:57:58,240
Speaker 2: not saying that this means that Caleb Williams is gonna

2335
01:57:58,240 --> 01:58:01,160
Speaker 2: be a bench by week three, as we just discussed

2336
01:58:01,240 --> 01:58:04,320
Speaker 2: last segment. But I've been kind of I'm just kind

2337
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:06,640
Speaker 2: of intrigued about this team. But I've also been impressed

2338
01:58:06,680 --> 01:58:09,840
Speaker 2: by how Ben Johnson has at least publicly been kind

2339
01:58:09,880 --> 01:58:11,080
Speaker 2: of handling that team.

2340
01:58:11,640 --> 01:58:14,560
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, he's very outfront, no question about that,

2341
01:58:14,720 --> 01:58:19,000
Speaker 1: and he is there's not a whole lot that is

2342
01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,160
Speaker 1: being left behind closed doors, which it depends on what

2343
01:58:22,320 --> 01:58:24,520
Speaker 1: team you have. But at the same time, you would

2344
01:58:24,560 --> 01:58:26,160
Speaker 1: hope that he sort of has a bit of a

2345
01:58:26,200 --> 01:58:28,440
Speaker 1: sense and he's trying to create a culture. Usually when

2346
01:58:28,440 --> 01:58:32,640
Speaker 1: you walk into a situation, there's already a culture, unless

2347
01:58:32,680 --> 01:58:35,560
Speaker 1: it's a brand new scenario where there's not Ben a

2348
01:58:35,640 --> 01:58:37,720
Speaker 1: coach or whatever like that. And this goes for business

2349
01:58:37,720 --> 01:58:39,920
Speaker 1: and everything else. There's a culture. When you come in

2350
01:58:39,960 --> 01:58:42,040
Speaker 1: and let's say you get hired as a CEO of Apple,

2351
01:58:42,080 --> 01:58:45,160
Speaker 1: there's already a culture at Apple. Perhaps it's not what

2352
01:58:45,240 --> 01:58:48,480
Speaker 1: you there's a reason why you're being moved into that role,

2353
01:58:48,960 --> 01:58:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, barring death or something like that, there's been

2354
01:58:51,480 --> 01:58:53,680
Speaker 1: some kind of an inefficiency, there's been some kind of

2355
01:58:53,720 --> 01:58:56,320
Speaker 1: a change there. So Ben Johnson's coming in there and

2356
01:58:56,360 --> 01:58:58,960
Speaker 1: he's having to uproot a culture and bring in something

2357
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:03,320
Speaker 1: completely different. After there's been some malaise, there's been some issues,

2358
01:59:03,360 --> 01:59:06,720
Speaker 1: there's been some negativity. You know, Caleb's first year was

2359
01:59:06,760 --> 01:59:08,280
Speaker 1: not what you would have wanted it to be. It

2360
01:59:08,360 --> 01:59:10,280
Speaker 1: was kind of a lame duck situation with the wrong

2361
01:59:10,360 --> 01:59:12,600
Speaker 1: coach in place. So he's coming in and he's taking

2362
01:59:12,600 --> 01:59:14,200
Speaker 1: the bull by the horns and he's going in a

2363
01:59:14,240 --> 01:59:18,440
Speaker 1: completely opposite direction. He's trying to be a culture changer,

2364
01:59:18,520 --> 01:59:21,280
Speaker 1: but also he's trying to just kind of institute it

2365
01:59:21,400 --> 01:59:24,000
Speaker 1: his way, and it's not a gradual move. It's a

2366
01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:26,920
Speaker 1: very rapid move, which I think is probably smart really

2367
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:29,200
Speaker 1: because in the NFL you just don't have the time

2368
01:59:29,360 --> 01:59:33,360
Speaker 1: to move one percent at a time. So he's he's

2369
01:59:33,480 --> 01:59:37,800
Speaker 1: very much doing the Silicon Valley tech thing where he's

2370
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:39,840
Speaker 1: basically moving past and breaking things.

2371
01:59:41,320 --> 01:59:45,800
Speaker 2: Bears playing the Miami Dolphins tomorrow, the Chargers hosting the

2372
01:59:45,880 --> 01:59:47,560
Speaker 2: New Orleans Saints. We got to get out of here.
