Speaker 1: tonight to the NFL. Austin Reeve. What to make of

10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,559
Speaker 1: that Dodgers Jays? We know what to make of it.

11
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:45,840

14
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,040
Speaker 1: Tip of the cap again to the people at our

Speaker 1: company that make our set look the way it does.

16
00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: We always appreciate that. One hour from now, Greg Cosell

17
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: stops by. You know, when they were beating the Reds

18
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:08,200
Speaker 1: and the Phillies and they were beating the Brewers J Mack,

19
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:13,280
Speaker 1: the Dodgers' bats had a way of making teams, pitching

20
00:01:13,319 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: staffs and bullpens uncomfortable. That is exactly now. What is

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:22,000
Speaker 1: happening to the Dodgers' bullpen and the Dodgers starting staff.

22
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,760
Speaker 1: So here's where we start today. How about Trey That

23
00:01:24,880 --> 00:01:29,160
Speaker 1: was unbelievable. The best thing for baseball, honestly, privately, is

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,679
Speaker 1: the Dodger struggling being on the brink because last year

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: when they dominated the Yankees in the World Series, a

26
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,800
Speaker 1: minute later, it's like the sport's uneven.

27
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 3: This is not fair.

28
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: There's a massive financial gap. It's just not fair. It

29
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,200
Speaker 1: felt like Katie to the Warriors first year they go

30
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: sixteen to one of the playoffs. So the Big Ten

31
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,520
Speaker 1: winning a Natty or the Chiefs getting blown out in

32
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 1: Super Bowls, big picture, gives everybody else hope. This Dodger

33
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:57,120
Speaker 1: team was flawed all season long. We talked about it.

34
00:01:57,120 --> 00:01:59,840
Speaker 1: They blew twenty six saves. Mookie Betts, who had a

35
00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: great September not hitting now, didn't hit until September. He

36
00:02:04,160 --> 00:02:07,320
Speaker 1: had an injury or an illness early. He's been off

37
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 1: all season. Blake Snell opens the game with a couple

38
00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: of fastballs. Both get jacked out. So from the very beginning,

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: it was the Blue Jays bats making the Dodgers uncomfortable.

40
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,359
Speaker 1: Blake Snell after giving up two bombs in the first inning,

41
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:31,920
Speaker 1: had to abandon his fastball. So again, what the Dodgers

42
00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,919
Speaker 1: did for three series is what the Jays are doing

43
00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: to the Dodgers now. And Trey Ya Savage amazing Another

44
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:46,600
Speaker 1: amazing story. This kid wasn't in Major League baseball when

45
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: the season started. He was in single A ball. There

46
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,280
Speaker 1: used to be low A high A. It's now just

47
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 1: single A ball. It's basically like really slightly better than

48
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,000
Speaker 1: great high school baseball. You don't stay in a hotel,

49
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 1: you have a host family. Last night, struck out twelve.

50
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 1: Only one Dodger got into scoring position for the record,

51
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Otani Betson Freeman held hitless. In fact, the last two games,

52
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 1: the Dodgers as a team are hitting a buck sixty four.

53
00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: Their MVPs are mia. And here is Trey you Savage

54
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: finishing off his night in the seventh right here.

55
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 4: Chopper to third, Clement the second over the first double play.

56
00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 4: The World Series masterpiece from twenty two year old Trey

57
00:03:39,440 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: Yes Savage.

58
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,560
Speaker 1: He struck out every Dodger at least once. We thought

59
00:03:46,600 --> 00:03:48,960
Speaker 1: the Dodgers would hit their way to a title. Yet

60
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: they've scored sixty four total runs in the playoffs. The

61
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: Jays are at one hundred and county and no baseball

62
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:59,040
Speaker 1: team has repeated since the Derek Jeter Yankees. And there's

63
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:02,160
Speaker 1: a reason for it. It's exceptionally hard, more than any sport.

64
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,480
Speaker 1: I mean, you got to get your starting pitching in sync.

65
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: You got to get your timely hits at the perfect time.

66
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 1: You've got to fix your batting order, right guys in

67
00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: front of the right guys, top tier pitching, bullpen's got

68
00:04:18,839 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 1: to be good enough. So the Dodgers may have built

69
00:04:21,640 --> 00:04:25,440
Speaker 1: the perfect Major League Baseball machine, but maybe they forgot

70
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,400
Speaker 1: to put in the clutch because the team right now

71
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: that is making the other team uncomfortable. It's Toronto, And

72
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:40,160
Speaker 1: here is Dave roberts on making Game six adjustments in Canada.

73
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 5: I'm not sure if it's mooking the two, mooking the three,

74
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 5: Freddy in the three, I'm not sure. But at the

75
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:47,359
Speaker 5: end of the day, regardless of you know, who we

76
00:04:47,440 --> 00:04:50,280
Speaker 5: run out there or what construct, we still got to

77
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 5: take good at bats, all of us, you know, And

78
00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,120
Speaker 5: so that's what I'm betting on.

79
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, the Dodgers had a lot of bad at bats

80
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 1: last night, but when you got one guy in scoring position.

81
00:05:02,080 --> 00:05:04,960
Speaker 1: Is it just the Jay's pitching is part of it? Pressure,

82
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: whatever it is, it's working. First inning on when you

83
00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: force Blake Snell to abandon his fastball, you're officially in

84
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:18,919
Speaker 1: the Dodgers wheelhouse. You're in the Dodgers head Okay, he

85
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: did it again. No Luca, no Lebron, in fact, no

86
00:05:22,520 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 1: Aunt Edwards. And the star of the show buzzer beater

87
00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: was Austin Reeves of the Lakers. Twenty eight points and

88
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: sixteen assists. What are we to make of him? Well,

89
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:34,240
Speaker 1: first of all, he's a great American sports story. First,

90
00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: you're in the NBA. He averaged seven, then thirteen, then sixteen,

91
00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 1: then twenty. Suddenly he's averaging thirty four. My guess is

92
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: it's going to go down a little bit. It is

93
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:46,680
Speaker 1: the best case scenario for the Lakers. They can show

94
00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:49,000
Speaker 1: him off to the NBA. He's getting to the free

95
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:54,520
Speaker 1: throw line twelve times. He's always created contact. The issue

96
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
Speaker 1: isn't is he a good players? A very good player?

97
00:05:57,080 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 2: Right?

98
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: The question is can you mat surmise his game with

99
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: the Lakers. He needs the ball in his hands. You

100
00:06:04,560 --> 00:06:07,520
Speaker 1: should see his numbers playing with Lebron and without him

101
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:12,200
Speaker 1: He's a different player entirely c plus to aus. So

102
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:15,400
Speaker 1: what do you do with him? He's showing the league

103
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: Maybe Houston, the Celtics, Miami. No, I can initiate offense.

104
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: I'll get to the free throw line. I'm physical, I'll

105
00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:24,960
Speaker 1: work hard on the defensive end, albeit it won't be great.

106
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 1: Is he too good to trade or is he the

107
00:06:27,960 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: perfect trade piece? Again, Luca needs the ball to dominate,

108
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:34,480
Speaker 1: and Luca is arguably the second best player.

109
00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:34,640
Speaker 3: In the world.

110
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:39,160
Speaker 1: Some nights, the very best. Maybe Austin Reeves is thinking

111
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,560
Speaker 1: I want the ball. I want this to continue. So

112
00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,799
Speaker 1: watching him last night, here's what I kept thinking watching

113
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:50,280
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves. Are the new owners. This is not the

114
00:06:50,320 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: Bus family. The Bus Family needed Lebron for six and

115
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,400
Speaker 1: a half years. They needed him he was selling tickets.

116
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:00,240
Speaker 1: They were a mess pre Lebron. Remember end of the

117
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,280
Speaker 1: Kobe days. They weren't very good. They were bad all

118
00:07:03,320 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: the time, right, we remember Kobe's last game, sixty points,

119
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 1: a lot of forgettable years. Are the new Laker owners.

120
00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:14,360
Speaker 1: We have a lot of money, and it's about the

121
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,080
Speaker 1: long term, not selling tickets necessarily thinking to themselves, you know,

122
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,720
Speaker 1: maybe it's Lebron. We don't need I mean Lebron reportedly

123
00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 1: in his fields because he hasn't gotten the contract extension.

124
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,800
Speaker 1: My take is the only two absolutes going forward are

125
00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 1: Luca and JJ Reddick. This is no longer a league

126
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:39,320
Speaker 1: of a big three. It's a duo league. But maybe

127
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:44,720
Speaker 1: the Lakers are a big three Luca, JJ Reddick and

128
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves. I mean, this is what happens. You're given opportunities,

129
00:07:49,640 --> 00:07:52,560
Speaker 1: somebody takes a day off work, somebody's sick. You step

130
00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 1: in with no Luca and no Lebron. JJ Reddick is

131
00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: leaning on him. He gets the free throw line, always had,

132
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 1: initiates contact, always has hitting his shots, usually does, so

133
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: this is one of those moments. The new owners are

134
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,200
Speaker 1: looking at this. And my take last night was God,

135
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:12,120
Speaker 1: the kids first or second in the league. Now nobody

136
00:08:12,120 --> 00:08:15,680
Speaker 1: plays defense already in the season, so everybody's numbers are

137
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,080
Speaker 1: a little glossy. A lot of guys shooting fifty five percent.

138
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: I get it, but it's impossible not to pay attention

139
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: right and these new owners, they're still assessing the situation.

140
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,200
Speaker 1: They made it very clear JJ Reddick and with a

141
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 1: contract extension Luca, they're the future, but it's not a

142
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: Big three league. It's now a duo league. And Austin

143
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:45,080
Speaker 1: Reeves when you compare them to larn is much cheaper, younger, healthier,

144
00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 1: and let's be honest, less maintenance. Here's JJ Reddick on

145
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves last night.

146
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 6: That guy is gonna show up in the big moments.

147
00:08:57,200 --> 00:09:00,840
Speaker 6: It's not surprised. He's done that manuchy times in his career.

148
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 6: He's done that many times since I've been his coach.

149
00:09:03,360 --> 00:09:06,679
Speaker 6: Feel very comfortable with him making decisions at late game.

150
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:12,319
Speaker 1: And Austin Reeves scored half of his points against Jaden McDaniels,

151
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: who's a elite defensive player. So it's been very, very impressive.

152
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: And it's just opportunities. You know, somebody misses work, somebody

153
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:23,040
Speaker 1: misses a game, you step in. But if it was

154
00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: the old owners, the bus family, I don't think this

155
00:09:26,400 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: would be as significant. They love Austin Reeves, they've paid

156
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: him nothing and he's very productive. But the new owners

157
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: look at the world differently. When somebody buys a company,

158
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,560
Speaker 1: they see the world differently. They don't cling this stuff.

159
00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: Usually they don't want old and higher maintenance. They like young, cheaper, healthier, coachable.

160
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves is a very attractive player to any new

161
00:09:53,240 --> 00:09:56,560
Speaker 1: ownership group. That's what I saw last night, And JAMG,

162
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:59,440
Speaker 1: I know how much you love Austin Reeves, but it

163
00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: is interesting. As I'm watching it, I'm thinking about the

164
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: new ownership group how they view him, and it's like

165
00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:12,320
Speaker 1: cost dependability, health maintenance. I mean, there is something about

166
00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 1: Lebron The downside of being an older star athlete is

167
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,400
Speaker 1: you can suck the oxygen out of her own a

168
00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,240
Speaker 1: little bit, right. Austin Reeves is like it wasn't for

169
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: the headband, you know, you never pick him up, and

170
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,199
Speaker 1: that there is something to be said about a new

171
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:30,440
Speaker 1: coach a young player. It's just it's fascinating.

172
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 7: Yeah, you know, I don't know if I said this

173
00:10:32,080 --> 00:10:34,280
Speaker 7: to you on air or off, but I look at

174
00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 7: Austin Reeves next to Luka Danci said, I'm like, why

175
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,520
Speaker 7: can't Austin be Kyrie Irving? Kyrie and Luca went to

176
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 7: the NBA Finals two years ago, and I'm not saying

177
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:44,359
Speaker 7: Austin Reeves is Kyrie.

178
00:10:44,400 --> 00:10:45,440
Speaker 3: So that can be that.

179
00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: Okay, okay, but you're missing the big part of that.

180
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 1: Why did Luca and Kyrie work because they had a long,

181
00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: devastating front line. They're both bad. That's not Oh yeah,

182
00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,920
Speaker 1: that's a that's well, you can move off Lebron.

183
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 3: You bring it, you bring in bigs right.

184
00:11:03,760 --> 00:11:07,959
Speaker 1: Well again, Luca and Austin Reeves are not Kyrie and

185
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:12,000
Speaker 1: Luca with Dallas's front line in size. DeAndre Ayden's a

186
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 1: bad defensive player. Okay, so that it works only because

187
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:20,079
Speaker 1: of what Dallas can provide in rim protection. Having Luca

188
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: and Austin Reeves is fun. It's not beating the best

189
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:27,439
Speaker 1: teams in the West, who mostly all do have rim

190
00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 1: protection and better wings. It's the first week of the

191
00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:34,800
Speaker 1: NBA season. The first two weeks, nobody's playing defense. It's

192
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:38,600
Speaker 1: a lot of fun. You can't overreact, but I guarantee

193
00:11:38,600 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: you the new owners, just to anybody out there that's

194
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: ever bought a new business or you're part of a

195
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:45,520
Speaker 1: new company, you view it differently than how the old

196
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,240
Speaker 1: people viewed it. In the Bus family, they felt kind

197
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,679
Speaker 1: of tied at the hip with Lebron, right, like they

198
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:54,960
Speaker 1: had sacrifices they brought him in. These new guys are like, hey,

199
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,560
Speaker 1: we like him, we have no connection to him.

200
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 7: Yeah, I love Austin. You know, I've been on that

201
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:03,560
Speaker 7: bandwagon for a while. Everybody's saying, oh, we could ship

202
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,200
Speaker 7: him for Giannis. Doesn't seem realistic. Colin the team I

203
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,280
Speaker 7: heard last night that is interested in Austin Reeves. Keep

204
00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:14,080
Speaker 7: an eye on the Utah Jazz Lori. Markanen is a

205
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,480
Speaker 7: budding star. He's younger than Reeves. He's a big I

206
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:20,120
Speaker 7: think he had fifty points earlier this week, was outstanding

207
00:12:20,120 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 7: in the summer marketing.

208
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 1: It's been a great score since he walked into the league.

209
00:12:23,280 --> 00:12:24,640
Speaker 1: The guy that can run the floor.

210
00:12:24,880 --> 00:12:25,679
Speaker 3: I would keep an eye.

211
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:27,319
Speaker 7: You know, you get your pair a couple of euros

212
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,640
Speaker 7: Luca and Lourie Markinen. I know he's not an awesome defender,

213
00:12:31,080 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 7: but I would just keep an eye on that going forward. Again,

214
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 7: I'm not trying to trade Austin Reeves, but I just

215
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 7: put that.

216
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:36,079
Speaker 3: On your radar.

217
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:41,079

234
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,560
Speaker 1: by Credible Great Rage done to the bull. So I

235
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:35,560
Speaker 1: saw something yesterday. I remember years ago reading a story

236
00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,520
Speaker 1: about Jerry Jones and his wife think her name is Jane,

237
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:41,080
Speaker 1: and she was saying, Jerry, you just can't get out

238
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,319
Speaker 1: of your own way sometimes. You know, Jerry loves the publicity.

239
00:13:44,360 --> 00:13:46,840
Speaker 1: He likes to talk after games. He's on land Man

240
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:49,719
Speaker 1: in an acting role. So he said something yesterday and

241
00:13:49,760 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 1: I thought, oh, this is just not gonna land well,

242
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: this is this is not gonna land well. So he

243
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: was talking to the Wall Street Journal and Jerry Jones

244
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: had a quote. As he was talking to the Wall

245
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:01,520
Speaker 1: Street journally goes, there's a hundred billion present value with

246
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: gas out there. That's why I'm talking to you on

247
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,079
Speaker 1: the telephone rather than trying to fix our defense with

248
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:10,160
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. Yeah, that's just not going to go over that. Well, listen,

249
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,720
Speaker 1: I want my GM grinding tape and studying the cap sheet.

250
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,240
Speaker 1: Howie Roseman Trade Deadline just picked up a slot corner yesterday,

251
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: less neat a couple of days earlier, they got a corner.

252
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:29,920
Speaker 1: Jerry was checking out natural gas locations in the Pacific.

253
00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:33,440
Speaker 1: And this is why a lot of billionaires, for the record,

254
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 1: end up on boards instead of running a singular company.

255
00:14:36,480 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 1: They're distracted, They're busy. So but I mean the way

256
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 1: the Cowboys are. Strangely, they're very good at making big deals.

257
00:14:43,760 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: I like the Mica deal, I like the George picken deal.

258
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: George pickensneal is excellent. They're also very good on their

259
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: first and usually second round picks. But I would argue,

260
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 1: if you look at the Super Bowl favorites right now,

261
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:00,760
Speaker 1: it's Green Bay, it's you know, Kansas City or a Detroit.

262
00:15:00,880 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: They're very good fourth round, fifth round, sixth round and

263
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: getting their number one picks right. So Pooka Nakua, less need,

264
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:12,360
Speaker 1: he's not talking about oil reserves. Gets Pooka Nakua in

265
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: the fifth. He's a star. Kyron Williams running back in

266
00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:20,720
Speaker 1: the fifth, he's a star. Undrafted left tackle. Not a

267
00:15:20,720 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: lot of those exist. Higgsby the tight end, fourth rounder.

268
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,920
Speaker 1: That's why they can go pay for Devontae Adams because

269
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:29,240
Speaker 1: Poka Nuku is free for three or four years. So

270
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: I think, I think this league there's a lot of

271
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: minutia to be a good general manager in this league,

272
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: a ton of minutia. The Cowboys do a very good

273
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,760
Speaker 1: job on the big stuff. I will defend the Mica

274
00:15:39,800 --> 00:15:43,720
Speaker 1: trade forever. In fact, I would say the best draft

275
00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:46,000
Speaker 1: pick the Cowboys have made is not a first round

276
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 1: draft pick. It's Dak Prescott. And they got Dak Prescott

277
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:52,120
Speaker 1: in the fourth round. And the reason they were able

278
00:15:52,200 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: to extend and pay that O line for all those

279
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:59,720
Speaker 1: years is they were paying Dak nothing for four years nothing.

280
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,400
Speaker 1: He was free and he was winning double digit games.

281
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:06,280
Speaker 1: So of all the draft picks, it's not getting Tyron

282
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,520
Speaker 1: Smith or Zach Martin or Miicah. Dack's their best draft

283
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 1: pick as a fourth rounder. Brock perty I don't think

284
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:16,239
Speaker 1: he saved the Niners, But after the Trey Lance fiasco,

285
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:21,000
Speaker 1: they were desperate to get a quarterback that they could

286
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:26,479
Speaker 1: monetize at a beneficial level. And there's no more beneficial

287
00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: level than getting the last player picked to be your

288
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: starting quarterback for four or five years. Then you can

289
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,800
Speaker 1: go pay for a Mac Jones to be a backup.

290
00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: So so much of this league is minutia. And when

291
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: I read that, I think, you know, is Jerry really

292
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:44,200
Speaker 1: the general manager? Is he really the acting general manager?

293
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:49,080
Speaker 1: I don't know, but running several billion dollar companies simultaneously

294
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: that aren't related at all does not feel ideal. Again,

295
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:57,320
Speaker 1: Kansas City, Detroit and Green Bay teams that draft and

296
00:16:57,400 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: developed and fine gems. Fine Gems are Super Bowl favorites.

297
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: So the big stuff I don't worry about. They got

298
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,640
Speaker 1: their quarterback, they got that right. They get their first

299
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,040
Speaker 1: round picks right, George Pickens, Micah Trade, they get that

300
00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:16,160
Speaker 1: stuff right. It's the stuff in the middle nobody talks

301
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,959
Speaker 1: about that helped build the Rams. I mean Trey Smith,

302
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: Tyreek Hill, late rounder for Kansas City, Trey Smith. J

303
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: Mack with the News, this is the herd Line News,

304
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: give out what the Chiefs did with Tyreek Hill later

305
00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 1: round pick didn't pay anything, and instead of paying them

306
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,560
Speaker 1: the big Buck Big Buck shipped him off and get

307
00:17:38,560 --> 00:17:42,720
Speaker 1: five more picks. Tyreek Hill, Mahomes is their best draft

308
00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,280
Speaker 1: pick ever. Second is Tyreek Hill, who got great production,

309
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 1: never had to pay him, then moved him and got

310
00:17:48,800 --> 00:17:51,280
Speaker 1: five or six more picks. That's the way to play

311
00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 1: the chess game in the NFL.

312
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 6: I like it.

313
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:54,080
Speaker 3: I like it all right.

314
00:17:54,119 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 7: Let's get started with those Chiefs, Colin. They have the

315
00:17:55,960 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 7: biggest game of the week nine. They are going to Buffalo.

316
00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,480
Speaker 7: We talked about it yesterday. The Bills kind of owned

317
00:18:03,520 --> 00:18:05,560
Speaker 7: them in the regular season with a four to one record.

318
00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 7: We won't talk about the playoffs. You already know the answer.

319
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,840
Speaker 7: Mahomes talked about that rivalry and the thin margin, saying

320
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,399
Speaker 7: every single game comes down to one play here or there, and.

321
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:17,440
Speaker 3: That they have made them.

322
00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 7: I think it comes down to players making plays in

323
00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 7: big moments.

324
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,879
Speaker 3: So some illuminating.

325
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 7: Stuff there from Patrick Mahomes. You want the real story here?

326
00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 7: Here it is, Colin. In the high leverage games, Josh

327
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:34,200
Speaker 7: Allen carries the team okay. Against the Chiefs, he averages

328
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:37,719
Speaker 7: over ten carries per game by far more carries than

329
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,760
Speaker 7: he does in any other game. So I'll remember that

330
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:44,160
Speaker 7: Ravens game in Week one, Josh Allen had fourteen carries.

331
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 7: Big game, they needed it. He hasn't sniffed that since

332
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 7: against the Patriots rivalry in the Division. Nine carries last

333
00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:55,440
Speaker 7: week against the Panthers three. Expect Josh Allen to put

334
00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:57,399
Speaker 7: the team on his back and try to take them

335
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:59,840
Speaker 7: to victory like he did last year in Buffalo.

336
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, listen, it's an interesting line based on what we've

337
00:19:06,200 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: seen from the two deep. There are two lines this

338
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 1: week that are fascinating. How are the Colts only a

339
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:13,120
Speaker 1: three point favorite? They have been the most efficient offense

340
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:17,400
Speaker 1: the two best teams I've watched the Steelers play the Seahawks,

341
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:21,200
Speaker 1: and the Packers pulled away and dominated the second half.

342
00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh Steelers against good teams, have about a half

343
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 1: in them. I could argue the Colt right now are

344
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:28,600
Speaker 1: playing better than the Seahawks and Green Bett And so

345
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 1: that line of don't get and I don't get this one.

346
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 1: Kansas City has the much better defense Situationally, we love

347
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,480
Speaker 1: this coach. The weather's not a factor, and offensively they've

348
00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:42,399
Speaker 1: got so many more weapons for Mahomes to throw to

349
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:46,800
Speaker 1: highlight Kansas City by a touchdown, by a touchdown, I

350
00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,080
Speaker 1: think there's a lot of scoring.

351
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:48,639
Speaker 3: Wow.

352
00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,840
Speaker 7: So the Bills with Josh Allen, I'm looking back in

353
00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 7: the archives here. They haven't lost a game as a

354
00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,000
Speaker 7: home underdog in like five years.

355
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 1: Collin.

356
00:19:58,960 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 7: This is a rare spot for them. Now is a

357
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 7: favorite against the Patriots. You know they lost, they'll loses

358
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:05,560
Speaker 7: a favorite, but as a dog, I don't know, man,

359
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 7: this You don't think McDermott's going to be yelling at

360
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,720
Speaker 7: the team. Hey, nobody respects you. Okay, you lost to

361
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,280
Speaker 7: the Falcons. It's so easy for him to get this

362
00:20:14,320 --> 00:20:16,399
Speaker 7: team amped up. I know, No, Ed Oliver, that's big.

363
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,560
Speaker 1: I think the amped up stuff is great for about

364
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,360
Speaker 1: a series. Well you know what I mean.

365
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:23,520
Speaker 3: Tomlin has thrived off that for a time.

366
00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:25,919
Speaker 1: That's right for about a half, and then watch the

367
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:29,199
Speaker 1: Steelers in the second half of seasons. They've been terrible

368
00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: down the stretch last year, and they've been terrible in

369
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: the second half this year against good teams. I think

370
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:35,840
Speaker 1: all that raw rossed up you see it in college

371
00:20:36,119 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: teams run through the smoke. It's good for about a series.

372
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: Then you got to kick butt. Then you gotta have

373
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: better players. So I just I I so, by the way,

374
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,919
Speaker 1: you got one of their primary defenders is not playing.

375
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: I think Kansas City. It is Kansas City in these spots.

376
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: I just trust the coach, the quarterback, the schemes, spags

377
00:20:58,640 --> 00:20:59,680
Speaker 1: highlight Kansas City.

378
00:20:59,760 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 7: Have you heard anybody taking Buffalo here? Or is everybody

379
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,120
Speaker 7: and their mom on Kansas City.

380
00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:08,359
Speaker 1: At two and a half, I would say Kansas City.

381
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 7: Yeah, everybody's loaded up on the Chiefs here. I just

382
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:13,360
Speaker 7: want to remind people. I know, Kansas City beat Detroit,

383
00:21:13,440 --> 00:21:16,800
Speaker 7: and they cammered the Raiders, and they beat Marcus Mariota.

384
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:21,280
Speaker 7: They went to Jacksonville. Look kind of good but not great.

385
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 7: Let the Jags move up and down the field against

386
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,639
Speaker 7: him at will. And they lost Psyche to Jacksonville. Okay,

387
00:21:26,760 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 7: the idea that they're going in a buffalo and winning

388
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,359
Speaker 7: by a touchdown? Hey, listen, how's this?

389
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:30,719
Speaker 1: How's this?

390
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:31,640
Speaker 3: We'll make a fun bet.

391
00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 7: If the Chiefs win this game, I will stop bashing

392
00:21:34,800 --> 00:21:37,679
Speaker 7: them for the rest of the regular season. Feel sure,

393
00:21:37,800 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 7: I will not say anything negative about the Chiefs the

394
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,520
Speaker 7: rest of the season. If they go in and win

395
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,439
Speaker 7: this game. I don't know how I'm to hold myself

396
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,240
Speaker 7: to that, but I'll try. All right, let's move on

397
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 7: Collin Pittsburgh Steelers. You are hot on these Steelers. They're

398
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:55,520
Speaker 7: four and three, little fugazi of a record. You know,

399
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 7: they got a big one this weekend. Interestingly, Mike Tomlin,

400
00:21:59,880 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 7: I know we don't want to use the word hot seat,

401
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,200
Speaker 7: but this is strange.

402
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,240
Speaker 3: So a writer at the Pittsburgh Post.

403
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,439
Speaker 7: Gazette was doing one of those like answer Fan Question

404
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 7: deals and apparently owner Art Rooney is frustrated and growing

405
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 7: impatient he should with Mike Tomlin's lack of recent playoff success,

406
00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,480
Speaker 7: with the last playoff when coming in twenty seventeen. Now,

407
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:23,679
Speaker 7: so I'm gonna let me ask you, why would you

408
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,280
Speaker 7: drop this in the middle of the season when they're

409
00:22:26,280 --> 00:22:28,440
Speaker 7: four and three? How come you weren't saying this when

410
00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:30,400
Speaker 7: they were leading the division in.

411
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:33,960
Speaker 3: Four and two and ride n Why? Now? What's going

412
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 3: on here?

413
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 1: I think the thing that hurts Tomlin is there. You know,

414
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,120
Speaker 1: he has a saying that I think is a great saying.

415
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,240
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin always says two is a trend. Well, what's

416
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:46,560
Speaker 1: seven seven years when you can't get your old line right.

417
00:22:47,080 --> 00:22:50,199
Speaker 1: So Mike Tomlin held to his own standards, where he

418
00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: says two is a trend. We have four years now

419
00:22:53,440 --> 00:22:55,879
Speaker 1: where they've been the most expensive defense and have not

420
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:00,000
Speaker 1: been great in big spots. Four seven years. They can't

421
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 1: get their run game consistent. So Mike Tomlin's own words

422
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,080
Speaker 1: is by if you do something twice, it is a trend.

423
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 1: The trend is Pittsburgh cannot beat good teams. They don't

424
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:14,160
Speaker 1: win playoff games. They spend a fortune on their defense

425
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,639
Speaker 1: and it's not good. And the other trend that I

426
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:20,960
Speaker 1: see is where you know you watched green Bay and

427
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:26,719
Speaker 1: Pittsburgh last week. Small market green Bay has totally embraced

428
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:32,760
Speaker 1: what the NFL is creative offensive head coach, drafting very

429
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 1: high receivers, tight ends weapons, buying a very expensive pass rusher. Steelers,

430
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:44,359
Speaker 1: what are you doing? They just went and got another

431
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:46,359
Speaker 1: safety a couple of days ago at the trade headline.

432
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: It's not about your defense. I mean, I'll say this again,

433
00:23:50,160 --> 00:23:54,760
Speaker 1: Aaron is doing Tomlin a solid. If they had Trubisky,

434
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:56,879
Speaker 1: if they had Kenny Pickett, what would this team be.

435
00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: Aaron is keeping them interesting and viable. They're very good

436
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 1: in the red zone now only because of Aaron Rodgers.

437
00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,600
Speaker 1: So Aaron sort of He's makeup for a lot of

438
00:24:09,600 --> 00:24:13,200
Speaker 1: the blemishes here, Aaron. That's why I've been defending Aaron.

439
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,440
Speaker 1: PFF and others are like, well, he doesn't throw the

440
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,679
Speaker 1: ball down the field. You take Aaron out of this

441
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: and you give them their previous four or five quarterbacks. Idiot,

442
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: never forget what they look like at the end of

443
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: last year. In the last five games, it was unwatchable

444
00:24:27,760 --> 00:24:28,360
Speaker 1: on offense.

445
00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 7: So I will just say one for ten on third

446
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,840
Speaker 7: down against the Packers, they just could big spots. Rogers

447
00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:35,679
Speaker 7: could not come up. Now, he should have a lot

448
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:38,680
Speaker 7: of success against the Colts. Their back end is not great.

449
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,320
Speaker 7: This Colts defense is not outstanding. I mean, listen, I

450
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 7: don't care what they do against the Titans. I do

451
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 7: think their offense is going to move up and down

452
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:48,040
Speaker 7: the field against this overpriced defense.

453
00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:50,240
Speaker 3: Is a tough one.

454
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 2: Colin.

455
00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 3: Is it making Blazon five?

456
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,840
Speaker 1: It's being strongly considered.

457
00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 7: Yeah, at some point the Steelers defense is going to

458
00:24:58,240 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 7: show up.

459
00:24:58,560 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: Right, we would agree on that.

460
00:25:00,119 --> 00:25:03,600
Speaker 7: They can't continue to get m basted every weekend, right,

461
00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:07,600
Speaker 7: So maybe this is the spot. Daniel Jones outside does

462
00:25:07,600 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 7: he eventually does. Does the milk carton expire on Danielson?

463
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,359
Speaker 7: We're waiting for him to go to turn into the

464
00:25:13,400 --> 00:25:16,520
Speaker 7: regular Daniel Jones. Final story, Collin, this is not great

465
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:20,200
Speaker 7: for one of your picks, Brock Purdy. He's missed four

466
00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:23,000
Speaker 7: straight games and he's coming back from that toe injury.

467
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,240
Speaker 7: Here we got an audio a Kyle Shanahan. It doesn't

468
00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:28,720
Speaker 7: sound like Purdy is a lot to play. Take a

469
00:25:28,720 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 7: listen to Kyle Shanahan on his quarterback.

470
00:25:31,880 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 9: That he feels confident he's ready to go based off

471
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 9: how his toe feels. I mean, I mean he's gonna

472
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:39,359
Speaker 9: look that way most likely from getting out there, and

473
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:41,399
Speaker 9: he's not gonna he gets out there and he's hobbling

474
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,120
Speaker 9: around and stuff. He won't be out there. So he's

475
00:25:43,160 --> 00:25:44,840
Speaker 9: got to go out there and go through the practices

476
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,960
Speaker 9: and stuff and really let us know how good he feels,

477
00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,760
Speaker 9: because it's hard to know what's going on with the

478
00:25:50,800 --> 00:25:52,520
Speaker 9: toe and they're really iffy things.

479
00:25:53,520 --> 00:25:56,000
Speaker 1: I really like San Francisco this weekend. They come off

480
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,600
Speaker 1: a clunker. Shanahan's been barking, and I also think Mac

481
00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: Jones is in the argument for the best backup in

482
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:04,760
Speaker 1: the league. I thought it actually last week that didn't

483
00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:06,160
Speaker 1: play well at all. I thought he had a couple

484
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:09,919
Speaker 1: of unbelievable throws. I think Mac throws a again, not

485
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,760
Speaker 1: a big mover, not a huge arm, but sit in

486
00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: the pocket. Give him a two two thousand and three beat.

487
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,400
Speaker 1: He throws a pretty good ball, he does.

488
00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm slowly backing away like that Homer Simpson meme

489
00:26:22,720 --> 00:26:26,199
Speaker 7: where he backs away into the shrubbery. I'm slowly backing

490
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,600
Speaker 7: off the Niners, Colin. I mean, I think they win this,

491
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:33,720
Speaker 7: but you know, Jackson Dart is that scrambling quarterback. Those

492
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 7: guys have given Sala's defense a lot of problems, and

493
00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:41,640
Speaker 7: the Niners offensive line did not look great against the Texans.

494
00:26:42,320 --> 00:26:44,080
Speaker 7: It kind of folded a little bit there. I mean,

495
00:26:44,160 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 7: Mac Jones, I know you love him, he was not great.

496
00:26:47,400 --> 00:26:49,479
Speaker 7: I mean they had zero first downs with like two

497
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 7: minutes left in the half. Colin, that's I watched ANEMK,

498
00:26:53,520 --> 00:26:58,200
Speaker 7: So be careful. My friend j Mack with the news, Well.

499
00:26:58,080 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 2: That's the news, and thanks for stopping the herd line news.

500
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:05,640
Speaker 1: So I was singing about this watching the Dodgers last night.

501
00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 1: Is that there? And I've said this before, there are

502
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:11,040
Speaker 1: two sports that you have a lot of downtime and

503
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 1: a lot of time to think. And for men who think,

504
00:27:14,080 --> 00:27:18,160
Speaker 1: they often overthink. And I guess women too, Golf and baseball,

505
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 1: and I've seen great golfers collapse. I mean, go back

506
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:25,720
Speaker 1: to Rory McElroy, you know double bogies, Uh you know,

507
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 1: uh it Masters, right, He's struggling on Sunday at his

508
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:35,359
Speaker 1: seventeenth Masters. I think I think a little bit of

509
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:38,040
Speaker 1: this is the Dodgers are in their head. A lot

510
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,400
Speaker 1: of it's Toronto pitching, but I think they're suffering from

511
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: Jay's pitching and intense pressure. La Is hitting two to

512
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: oh one against Toronto. I mean, give me a break.

513
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,800
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman, Betts, Max Munsey, OTAWNI one Dodger in scoring

514
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: position all night. So the Dodgers they hear, they see,

515
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,199
Speaker 1: and they read everything written about him going into this series.

516
00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,640
Speaker 1: And first I think it motivated. I think really good

517
00:28:01,720 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 1: teams are motivated. But the fact is they don't even

518
00:28:04,880 --> 00:28:07,960
Speaker 1: have George Springer and they're beating the Dodgers up. And

519
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: the other thing, the Blue Jays are four and oh

520
00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 1: in the playoffs when they trail, so they're built for this.

521
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,919
Speaker 1: That eighteen inning game. They're kind of built for it. Reportedly,

522
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: their clubhouse that Joe Davis was talking about, it's like

523
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 1: spring training. Now. They're playing music, they're laughing, they're having fun,

524
00:28:26,359 --> 00:28:28,960
Speaker 1: and the Dodgers are are a little bit tight. That

525
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: is the downside to hearing and seeing and reading how

526
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,160
Speaker 1: great you are. And but you know, the Dodgers went

527
00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,440
Speaker 1: into this season. I mean, just think about this. They

528
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 1: went into this season. Mookie Bets wasn't available in September,

529
00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:46,520
Speaker 1: bullpen was a bit of a mess. Starting pitchers had injuries.

530
00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 1: They were a flawed baseball team. But I've seen great

531
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:52,040
Speaker 1: golfers collapse in majors. I've seen great hitters in a

532
00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,200
Speaker 1: World Series go belly up. I saw Lebron freeze, literally

533
00:28:56,280 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 1: freeze against Dallas in the NBA Finals. Lebron James. I mean,

534
00:29:00,240 --> 00:29:03,959
Speaker 1: Rory McElroy's shooting one over Sunday at the Masters, two

535
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 1: bogie's and a double. That's not because he forgot how

536
00:29:07,160 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: to golf. I think that a little bit of this

537
00:29:09,480 --> 00:29:13,080
Speaker 1: is the Dodgers came in as a favorite, and there

538
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: is there is so much media now, there are so

539
00:29:16,080 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 1: many platforms you can't avoid it. I mean I put

540
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,440
Speaker 1: my phone down for hours at a time and just

541
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: watch sports. I just want to watch sports generationally. I

542
00:29:26,320 --> 00:29:28,280
Speaker 1: didn't grow up with a phone. That's probably easier to

543
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:30,680
Speaker 1: me than if you're twenty eight or thirty eight. But

544
00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 1: you can't avoid stuff. I mean, I have people coming

545
00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: up to me all the time, Oh I saw you

546
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:37,640
Speaker 1: on TikTok or Instagram.

547
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:37,800
Speaker 6: More.

548
00:29:37,840 --> 00:29:39,440
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be on TV or radio all

549
00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:42,160
Speaker 1: the time. So the Dodgers are obviously sitting around waiting

550
00:29:42,200 --> 00:29:43,640
Speaker 1: for the game, seeing stuff, and I think a bit

551
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,440
Speaker 1: of it's in their head. Never forget this. The Dodgers

552
00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:49,719
Speaker 1: over under was one hundred and three in Vegas. We

553
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 1: looked up this morning that the Jays was seventy eight

554
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:54,560
Speaker 1: and a half. So one team is coming into this

555
00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:59,160
Speaker 1: World Series seventy eight and a half wins. Yankees picked

556
00:29:59,160 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 1: to win the division. Maybe Boston second. Yeah, Toronto will

557
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,680
Speaker 1: scrap around, you know, at the bottom, just fighting hopefully

558
00:30:06,720 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: to get into the wild cards. So I think I

559
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:11,640
Speaker 1: think a lot of what the Dodgers are facing to

560
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:16,680
Speaker 1: hit this poorly. A guy that was in single ay

561
00:30:16,720 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: to start the season, I mean looks like Verlander in

562
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: his prime against you. I'm not saying the kid's not excellent.

563
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,960
Speaker 1: He's not Verlander in his prime. Some of this is

564
00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:30,880
Speaker 1: it in the Dodger's head. Trey you Savage, here's the

565
00:30:30,920 --> 00:30:33,280
Speaker 1: starter after taking a three to two lead in the series.

566
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,600
Speaker 10: I had hit a hitter the same all at this level,

567
00:30:37,600 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 10: every hitter can do damage. So I mean, it's just

568
00:30:40,240 --> 00:30:45,000
Speaker 10: another strikeout. It's a crazy world, crazy world. Hollywood couldn't

569
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,120
Speaker 10: have made it this good. So just being a part

570
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 10: of this, I'm just very blessed.

571
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:53,880
Speaker 1: I mean, it is remarkable. He started the year in

572
00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:58,959
Speaker 1: single A baseball. It's just I mean, that is several

573
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,720
Speaker 1: notches before Belthow the G League, in the NBA, and

574
00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:07,360
Speaker 1: he had just handcuffed the Dodgers. Bad at bats, bad

575
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 1: swings by star players. It goes and heads to Canada. Now.

576
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:16,240
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

577
00:31:16,240 --> 00:31:18,240
Speaker 2: and noon Eastern not a em Pacific.

578
00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:20,920
Speaker 3: Start Saturday strong.

579
00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:25,360
Speaker 7: With the undefeated, top ranked Ohios Date Buckeyes as they

580
00:31:25,400 --> 00:31:28,160
Speaker 7: face off against rivals Penn State.

581
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 3: At the Shoe.

582
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:30,320
Speaker 1: It all starts at.

583
00:31:30,200 --> 00:31:32,480
Speaker 3: Ten am Eastern with Big Noon.

584
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 7: Kickoff live from Columbus.

585
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,040
Speaker 3: Then it's Penn.

586
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:39,480
Speaker 7: State Ohio State Big Noon Saturday only on Fox.

587
00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 1: So it's interesting. As college football heats up, sometimes the

588
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:47,280
Speaker 1: best answer about a new job is saying no. So

589
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,560
Speaker 1: there's a lot of talk about Lane Kiffen leaving Ole Miss,

590
00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 1: where he's a messiah, right and going to LSU or

591
00:31:55,520 --> 00:32:01,000
Speaker 1: going to Penn State or going to Florida. So I'll

592
00:32:01,040 --> 00:32:03,880
Speaker 1: just say this, I know Lane a little bit. Lane

593
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:09,120
Speaker 1: Kiffin bolted Tennessee. How did that work out? Lane Kiffen

594
00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 1: was the youngest coach in the NFL at one point

595
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:15,080
Speaker 1: with the Raiders, he got fired, He got his perfect

596
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: job at USC, fired again, this time on the tarmac

597
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 1: of an airport. How'd that work out? I think Lane Kiffin,

598
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: in my opinion, is best suited for Old Miss because

599
00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: I think he says what he thinks without much of

600
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,280
Speaker 1: a filter. Can't do that at the big jobs. You

601
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:35,200
Speaker 1: can absolutely do it. You can absolutely do it at

602
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: Old Miss, big fish, small pond. You can say whatever

603
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:41,520
Speaker 1: you want. The other thing is, like Kurt Signetti is

604
00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,320
Speaker 1: revered at Indiana. You put the same coach at Alabama

605
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,480
Speaker 1: and all he would hear is, well, you're not saving

606
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: So here's the LSU job. Literally, the governor yesterday is

607
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,760
Speaker 1: talking about the fifty four million dollar contract they have

608
00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,240
Speaker 1: to write for Brian Kelly. And he's basically said, now

609
00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:05,440
Speaker 1: the a d at LSU, we're taking you out of

610
00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 1: the next coaching signing. Here it is.

611
00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:12,959
Speaker 11: We are not going down a failed path. And I

612
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:17,480
Speaker 11: wanted to tell you something. This is a pattern. The

613
00:33:17,520 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 11: guy that's here now a rote that contract cost Texas

614
00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 11: A and IM seventy something million dollars. Right now we

615
00:33:24,880 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 11: got a fifty three million dollar liability. We are not

616
00:33:27,520 --> 00:33:30,080
Speaker 11: doing that again. No, I can tell you right now,

617
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 11: Sabo was not selecting the next coach. Hell, I'll let

618
00:33:32,680 --> 00:33:34,719
Speaker 11: Donald Trump select it before I let him do it.

619
00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:37,040
Speaker 11: I don't know, but the Border super hus is going

620
00:33:37,080 --> 00:33:38,480
Speaker 11: to come up with a committee and they're gonna go

621
00:33:38,520 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 11: find us a coach.

622
00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 1: You want to enter that Hornet's nest, hard pass, No,

623
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: thank you. Penn State. I think Lane likes the southern weather.

624
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:53,880
Speaker 1: Played at Fresno State, Southern California guy. I think he

625
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,560
Speaker 1: likes the warm weather. I've said the Florida job maybe

626
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: works to he likes Florida. But it's a lot of

627
00:34:02,840 --> 00:34:05,040
Speaker 1: kiss in the ring when you go to the big jobs.

628
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,920
Speaker 1: And Lane is a great play caller. I do not

629
00:34:08,160 --> 00:34:10,799
Speaker 1: think he's a politician, and you got to be a

630
00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,879
Speaker 1: little of both in these biggest jobs. It's a lot

631
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: of kiss in the ring. And I said yesterday, I

632
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:19,600
Speaker 1: talked about the kind of the food chain, the pyramid

633
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,399
Speaker 1: of the best jobs in the country, the top ten

634
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:24,640
Speaker 1: jobs for a lot of different reasons. And I think Texas,

635
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: between the money, the boosters the city, is the best job.

636
00:34:30,320 --> 00:34:33,200
Speaker 1: LSU and Florida to me, we can put it up,

637
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:37,640
Speaker 1: are both great jobs, but they come with different pressure

638
00:34:37,840 --> 00:34:42,520
Speaker 1: and different boosters. I think the best jobs to me Texas,

639
00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 1: Ohio State, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Oregon. Phil Knight's given just

640
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: shy of three billion dollars to Oregon as long as

641
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 1: he's around. That's a great job. Alabama, SC, Michigan, Notre Dame.

642
00:34:54,239 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 1: You can tell me about Texas and A and M.

643
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,880
Speaker 1: I've been told for forty years how great Texas and

644
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:04,839
Speaker 1: gonna be. Just we'll see. I mean Indiana last year,

645
00:35:04,920 --> 00:35:07,840
Speaker 1: Indiana this year could be better than Texas, A and M.

646
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,480
Speaker 1: And that's a basketball school historically. So I think those

647
00:35:11,520 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: big jobs, they're not for everybody, and they're not for

648
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:18,959
Speaker 1: somebody who's kind of loose, who's kind of raw, who's

649
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 1: kind of outspoken, who can be kind of snarky. I

650
00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:23,799
Speaker 1: think old miss is great. And by the way, old

651
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:27,319
Speaker 1: missus now gonna pay him whatever he wants. So you

652
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:30,239
Speaker 1: tell me, in your current job, where you have rain

653
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 1: control and are respected, is it better making eleven twelve

654
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:37,120
Speaker 1: percent less than the high pressure job. All I know

655
00:35:37,239 --> 00:35:42,240
Speaker 1: is I heard that governor of Louisiana yesterday. I'm like, no,

656
00:35:42,880 --> 00:35:47,840
Speaker 1: thank you. I am seacrest out on that job, and

657
00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,480
Speaker 1: LSU may be the best job in the country, but

658
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:54,239
Speaker 1: the Governor's now telling I mean it's now literally a

659
00:35:54,239 --> 00:35:59,920
Speaker 1: political football job. Literally. I wouldn't take it. Nope, wouldn't

660
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:04,560
Speaker 1: taco it. All right, So Lamar Jackson is back in

661
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:10,680
Speaker 1: action tonight against Miami. I'll tell you Kansas City was

662
00:36:10,680 --> 00:36:14,239
Speaker 1: three and three. It's all good. Why mahomes Buffalo two

663
00:36:14,320 --> 00:36:19,200
Speaker 1: game losing streak, It's all good? Why Josh Allen. That's

664
00:36:19,239 --> 00:36:22,560
Speaker 1: the great thing about having a star quarterback is you

665
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:26,560
Speaker 1: always have a way to very quickly dig yourself out

666
00:36:26,600 --> 00:36:30,000
Speaker 1: of a hole. I was looking at Baltimore's schedule today.

667
00:36:30,120 --> 00:36:32,640
Speaker 1: Think about this. The Raiders are two and five and

668
00:36:32,680 --> 00:36:35,560
Speaker 1: the Ravens are two and five and the wise guys

669
00:36:35,600 --> 00:36:39,640
Speaker 1: in the desert they like one of those two and

670
00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,960
Speaker 1: five teams. And it's not the home team, it's the Ravens.

671
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,440
Speaker 1: Everybody loves the Ravens. Look at their next seven games Miami, Minnesota,

672
00:36:46,680 --> 00:36:54,800
Speaker 1: Cleveland Jets, Cincinnati, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati. That feels like a seven game,

673
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:58,759
Speaker 1: eight game winning streak to me. But it's must win tonight.

674
00:36:58,800 --> 00:36:59,720
Speaker 1: Here's Lamar Jackson.

675
00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:05,480
Speaker 12: Past pretty much touched on not talking about that with

676
00:37:05,640 --> 00:37:08,120
Speaker 12: us in the team meeting. You know, East And every

677
00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,520
Speaker 12: game gonna be like a win a go home game.

678
00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 12: You know, we started off first season ever started off

679
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:16,960
Speaker 12: like this low. So we're gonna have to just do

680
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,520
Speaker 12: it dow right now, Easton every week.

681
00:37:19,360 --> 00:37:22,640
Speaker 1: You know, it's for years. I remember years ago there

682
00:37:22,760 --> 00:37:26,840
Speaker 1: was a story that Aaron Rodgers playing or the backup

683
00:37:26,840 --> 00:37:29,360
Speaker 1: playing in Green Bay, and at the time, it was

684
00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:31,480
Speaker 1: like the highest number that Aaron was worth, Like I

685
00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 1: think the number was eleven points. And I think to

686
00:37:34,840 --> 00:37:41,759
Speaker 1: myself all the time, we undervalue quarterbacks. I mean, Anthony Richardson,

687
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:46,600
Speaker 1: the Colts stink last year. Just getting Daniel Jones, they

688
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,360
Speaker 1: could be the second, third, fourth best team in the

689
00:37:48,440 --> 00:37:52,719
Speaker 1: league from bad to super Bowl worthy. And that's just

690
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:56,160
Speaker 1: with Daniel Jones. So, I mean, it was kind of

691
00:37:56,160 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 1: interesting watching Tyler Huntley last week pick apart the Bears,

692
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:05,319
Speaker 1: and I'm like, this is Tyler Huntley, who's by all

693
00:38:05,360 --> 00:38:11,200
Speaker 1: means a serviceable, studious pro. He's excellent backup. But I mean,

694
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:15,400
Speaker 1: it's just that's why it was so confounding to me

695
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,080
Speaker 1: that at the beginning of June, when the Steelers and

696
00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:23,200
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin were sort of slow playing the quarterback position.

697
00:38:23,600 --> 00:38:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm like, guys, it's June. Unless there's something working with

698
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:30,880
Speaker 1: the back channels, how do you not have a quarterback

699
00:38:30,920 --> 00:38:33,480
Speaker 1: all lined up? And I've said this before, the offensive

700
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,000
Speaker 1: coaches in this league take quarterback it feels like much

701
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:39,360
Speaker 1: more seriously. But the Ravens right now are two and five,

702
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:41,520
Speaker 1: and if you go back and look at their next

703
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:45,440
Speaker 1: seven games, what is the only reason you like them

704
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,920
Speaker 1: to be favored in all seven games. It's not the

705
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: old line, it's not their secondary, it's not Thererick Henry

706
00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry's around with Tyler Huntley, right like, why do

707
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:58,040
Speaker 1: you like them for the next seven games? And I

708
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:01,480
Speaker 1: always think about this too with quarterbacks. Lamar Jackson. When

709
00:39:01,520 --> 00:39:06,480
Speaker 1: you have a great quarterback, it allows you to call

710
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:10,680
Speaker 1: plays and make throws that a backup can't. I mean,

711
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:14,320
Speaker 1: Joe Burrow can make throws Jake Browning can't. Right, Lamar

712
00:39:14,480 --> 00:39:19,400
Speaker 1: Jackson can give you certain a certain identity offensively, and

713
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:23,840
Speaker 1: you can take risks you can't. Right, I'll never have

714
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: a problem dropping Josh Allen justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes like

715
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,399
Speaker 1: in the end zone, throwing from their own end zone.

716
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,680
Speaker 1: But you ever think about this when you're watching the

717
00:39:36,719 --> 00:39:41,280
Speaker 1: game and your team doesn't have a star quarterback. Don't

718
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:43,239
Speaker 1: you ever watch a football game You're at your like

719
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: three or four yard line and your quarterback drops in

720
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,839
Speaker 1: the end zone and you can feel your shoulders tightened up, like, oh,

721
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:54,360
Speaker 1: this isn't good. Andy Reid'll drop Patrick Mahomes in that

722
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:57,760
Speaker 1: end zone ten out of ten times, And so Lamar

723
00:39:57,880 --> 00:40:00,640
Speaker 1: Jackson back tonight. I think it looks different. I think

724
00:40:00,640 --> 00:40:03,000
Speaker 1: it feels different, and I think the Ravens are going

725
00:40:03,080 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 1: to go on a long winning streak. And I don't

726
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:07,960
Speaker 1: know what's happening with the numbers, but I can tell

727
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:12,680
Speaker 1: you this. Blowouts the last two weeks have been a

728
00:40:12,760 --> 00:40:16,399
Speaker 1: common occurrence and if this got ugly, I don't think

729
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,680
Speaker 1: it's Miami trouncing the Ravens. All right, Greg Cosell is

730
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,000
Speaker 1: joining us around the corner. We are giving out, by

731
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:26,720
Speaker 1: the way, NFL quarterback Halloween candy. Next hour we'll explain

732
00:40:26,800 --> 00:40:29,319
Speaker 1: that too. Hour one down, Hour two next
