14
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:42,839
Speaker 3: Thank you.

15
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:45,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna leave with the Dodgers. I'm watching that game. Yeah,

16
00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:48,680
Speaker 1: the Giants Eagle to come back and win. And then

17
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:51,800
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, oh, we got a story in New York.

18
00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:57,400
Speaker 1: Oh my, oh my, jmact blazing five and one hour

19
00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,040
Speaker 1: off a winning week. We both had good week. That

20
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,040
Speaker 1: had a good last night, but good week week. Last

21
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,880
Speaker 1: night I told you, I told you to beware last night.

22
00:01:04,959 --> 00:01:08,120
Speaker 1: These division games are crazy. I want to start with this.

23
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 1: Last night was not about the Eagles. Saquon average five

24
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:16,480
Speaker 1: yards of carry, season high in yards. AJ Brown got touches.

25
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: It was not about the Eagles. That's not what last night. Well,

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,040
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna open the show criticizing the Eagles. Last

27
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,520
Speaker 1: night was about the New York Giants. They have found

28
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: their franchise quarterback. It's gonna be bumpy. You're gonna have

29
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:31,440
Speaker 1: weeks like last week and you're gonna have last night

30
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 1: if they can keep him healthy, confident, athletic, slippery, big

31
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: boy NFL throws. That is an NFL franchise quarterback feet

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: arm confidence. Once you get that right, Giant fans, such

33
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: like when you found Eli, gets much easier to build

34
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: the roster. I mean, the Giants last night are missing

35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 1: their number one receiver and the number two receiver and

36
00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: they scored thirty four points. I know you all loved

37
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: Obj and you love Malik Neighbors Come Mbra though. That's

38
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:05,760
Speaker 1: icing The cake is Camp's Skataboo and Jackson Dart because

39
00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: of the way they play. They're tough, they're young, they're physical.

40
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 1: In the Northeast because of the weather, Tyreek Hill is

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:21,639
Speaker 1: not winning your titles. Your left tackle is your star back. January.

42
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: Football is not decided by the fastest guys. Jackson Dart's tough,

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 1: Camp's Scataboo's tougher. If you can keep Andrew Thomas the

44
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,840
Speaker 1: left tackle healthy, you got your three guys. That's going

45
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,920
Speaker 1: to be your future. So the New York Giants have

46
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:41,880
Speaker 1: not had an offensive identity in a decade. In a decade,

47
00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:45,360
Speaker 1: and they decided a couple of weeks ago, let's start

48
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: the rookies. Let's let Jackson and Camp Scataboo. It's their offense.

49
00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: Since then, the Giants lead the NFL in first downs,

50
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: believe it or not. So it's not just the win

51
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: last night. It's not just the production. It's how they're

52
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:03,920
Speaker 1: doing it. It is a Northeast physical football team. Go

53
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,600
Speaker 1: to the Patriots dynasty. They never won when they were

54
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 1: at their flashiest with Randy Moss. Those were the years

55
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: they didn't win. They won early when they were tough physically,

56
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,000
Speaker 1: and they were winning late when they had Edelman and

57
00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 1: Brady and Gronk and always great on third down. Giants

58
00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:23,040
Speaker 1: were amazing on third down last night. A lot of

59
00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,640
Speaker 1: those fast teams aren't amazing on third down. They're just

60
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 1: fun to watch.

61
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:27,160
Speaker 4: Again.

62
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: I like Malik Neighbors, OBJ was fun. That is icing

63
00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: the cake in Northeast football. When the Steelers were great,

64
00:03:35,640 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: it was defense and Big Ben, the best Peyton Manning

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: Colts team ever, could run the ball and play defense.

66
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers title with the Packers. They actually ran the

67
00:03:45,440 --> 00:03:48,000
Speaker 1: ball and had his best defense as a Packer quarterback.

68
00:03:48,440 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: That's Northeast football. So they decided to start these guys

69
00:03:53,160 --> 00:03:55,119
Speaker 1: week four. We're going to give the kids the offense,

70
00:03:55,320 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: and it looks different. There's an identity. It's physical overflash.

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: It is steak over sizzle. There's nothing wrong with a

72
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:07,320
Speaker 1: little sizzle. You can't build around it. So that's last

73
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,880
Speaker 1: Night's not about the Eagles falling apart. I can talked

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,040
Speaker 1: about that in thirty minutes. That's and once you get

75
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,120
Speaker 1: the quarterback, once you find the quarterback, you can then

76
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: identify what you are. You can't do that without the quarterback.

77
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,400
Speaker 1: Right right, Kansas City finds Mahomes. We're gonna be clever,

78
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna be situational. We're because you have a situational,

79
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,119
Speaker 1: brilliant quarterback who's really creative with a great arm talent.

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:37,040
Speaker 1: So the Giants have just been swimming around drafting guys,

81
00:04:37,320 --> 00:04:38,960
Speaker 1: hitting on a lot of them on defense.

82
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 5: What are they last night?

83
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:46,600
Speaker 1: I'm like, oh, yeah, you can build around that.

84
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 5: That's an identity.

85
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: If I told you an hour before the game one

86
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,520
Speaker 1: of these teams is going to score thirty four points,

87
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 1: you would not have picked the New York Giants. Giant

88
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 1: fan wouldn't have picked after that Saints Debaucle. It's gonna

89
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 1: be uneven, and it's gonna be choppy, and you're gonna

90
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:07,479
Speaker 1: have bad weeks because they're kids. But Brian dabol After

91
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: saw what we all saw.

92
00:05:11,480 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 3: You go through some tough times and sometimes you can

93
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 3: get stronger from it, or sometimes you can fold. I

94
00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:21,640
Speaker 3: like our guys, these young players. I have a lot

95
00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,640
Speaker 3: of confidence in these young players, these rookies.

96
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:27,640
Speaker 4: They got the right mindset. They're tough.

97
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:35,640
Speaker 1: Northeast Football Championship Football. Find me, find me the warm

98
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:40,080
Speaker 1: Weather dynasty in the NFL. Dolphins have never had one,

99
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 1: Caroline has never had one, Arizona's never had one. Rams

100
00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 1: a big good, not a dynasty. Find me one. Find

101
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: me the warm Weather NFL dynasty. Marino and Don Shula

102
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:58,719
Speaker 1: won Super Bowl one, Peyton manning Indy one to one

103
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:01,600
Speaker 1: and is great. You look at the history of the NFL,

104
00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: the Green Bays, the Kansas City, Seattle's mini dynasty, Baltimore's greatness, Pittsburgh,

105
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 1: New England, the Giants when they beat Brady twice. What

106
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:14,479
Speaker 1: was it about that defensive front? That's an identity. I

107
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: watched the Giants last night. Oh you can, Oh, okay,

108
00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: you could put your arms around that and build around

109
00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: what I watched last night. That one handed catch years ago.

110
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 1: That's just a moment. Okay, So last night, I mean

111
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:34,240
Speaker 1: it was amazing about last night is you had seven

112
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:37,880
Speaker 1: or eight of the best hitters in baseball and it

113
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: was eventually the bottom of the Dodgers' lineup that got

114
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: it going. But it was palpable. And the Dodgers do this.

115
00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:49,080
Speaker 1: They put so much pressure on your manager and your

116
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: pitching staff. And last night Oriyan Kirkians, a young pitcher

117
00:06:55,680 --> 00:07:02,200
Speaker 1: for the Phillies, super talented. Here's the moment, the crowd

118
00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:05,719
Speaker 1: on its feet, and this really talented kid.

119
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 5: Couldn't rise to the moment. No balls in a strike

120
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 5: has breaks his bat.

121
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 4: Kirkering gotta find it, throws to the pint.

122
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 1: Oh my goodness, it throws it away, and the Dodgers

123
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: have won.

124
00:07:22,440 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 5: The Dodgers Gwynn.

125
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 4: Kirkering right there. Plenty of time to go to first.

126
00:07:27,760 --> 00:07:30,000
Speaker 6: I mean, plenty of time to go to first even

127
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,520
Speaker 6: though we bobbled this, they.

128
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 5: Just kind of in the moment panic.

129
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:40,360
Speaker 1: Should have gone to first base, right bouncer boom, first base.

130
00:07:40,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 5: You're out.

131
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,240
Speaker 1: But that's what the Dodgers do. They get in your head.

132
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: I mean, O Tawi was one for seventeen in the series,

133
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: O Tawni, and they walked him to load the bases

134
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: in the seventh O Tawni, Betts, Munsey Freeman, Edmund Tioskar Hernandez.

135
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 1: Constant pressure. Dodgers didn't even hit.

136
00:07:58,320 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 4: In this series.

137
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,200
Speaker 1: They didn't really hit the series, but they won. And

138
00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: it was the bottom of the lineup that did it.

139
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 1: You know, it's Keith k it's Monsey, it's Edmund. It

140
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:13,679
Speaker 1: wasn't even the top of the lineup. It's constant pressure.

141
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 1: Then rokis Asaki came on and the Dodgers' bullpen has

142
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 1: been a problem all year, so they've moved him to

143
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 1: the bullpen to be the closer. Three innings last night, untouchable.

144
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: So the Dodgers are now in the NLCS, and you

145
00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,520
Speaker 1: got Freddy Freeman and Otani hitting a buck eighty twelve strikeouts.

146
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:34,600
Speaker 1: That's what the Dodgers are. We talked about this with

147
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: the Yankees. Yankees are home run reliant. The Dodgers are

148
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 1: reliant on no single player Otawani. The last two years,

149
00:08:44,800 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 1: he has struggled in the postseason. I mean last year

150
00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 1: it was Freddy Freeman in the World Series. I mean

151
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: earlier this year, Mookie Bets got sick, couldn't hit in September.

152
00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 1: He's now on fire. It was the bottom of the

153
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: Dodgers lineup last night. So when you play the Dodgers,

154
00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: and this is really true about all sports, they put

155
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:09,520
Speaker 1: it's almost like KD Steph Clan Draymond remember, for about

156
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: three years, like pick your poison, Who's hot tonight? There

157
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: were games Draymond took over. There were games Klay Thompson

158
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:20,600
Speaker 1: hit six of eight threes. Who do you guard? Who

159
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 1: is it tonight? That's what it is with the Dodgers.

160
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 1: It was their young pitcher throwing one oh one, a

161
00:09:29,520 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 1: nasty splitter. It was the bottom of their lineup, and

162
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: it was the crowd. It was the crowd. It wasn't

163
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: O Tawny, it wasn't Freeman, it was the crowd and

164
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:42,280
Speaker 1: the pressure and it's never ending and they keep putting

165
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: it on you. Here was Dave Roberts on the play

166
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:49,079
Speaker 1: that sent the Dodgers to the NLCS.

167
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:50,840
Speaker 4: It's brutal.

168
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:57,280
Speaker 7: Obviously, they played great defense tonight, and you know, it's

169
00:09:57,320 --> 00:09:59,960
Speaker 7: one of those things that it's a PfP, a pitch

170
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 7: fielding practice, and he's done it a thousand times, and

171
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 7: you know, just right there, he was so focused, I'm sure,

172
00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 7: on just getting the hitter, and you know, just sort

173
00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,160
Speaker 7: of forgot, you know, the outs in the situation.

174
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, you're not doing that against most teams in Major

175
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:17,040
Speaker 1: League Baseball, but in that spot, against that team and

176
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,240
Speaker 1: they're in your head, you lose yourself. The Phillies did,

177
00:10:20,559 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: and in the process lost their series. By the way,

178
00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 1: you know, Otani and Freddie Freeman aren't the only one struggling.

179
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 1: Trade Turner struggled, Bryce Harper, struggled, Kyle Schwarber a couple

180
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:34,839
Speaker 1: of bombs he struggled. So the Philly you get into

181
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,800
Speaker 1: the postseason, I mean, think about all the great hitters

182
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,760
Speaker 1: Otani and Freeman, Trade Turner, Schwarber, Bryce Harper, Nobody's hit,

183
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,959
Speaker 1: nobody's hitting in the series. So it comes down to moments,

184
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: It comes down to base running. We talked about this

185
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:51,040
Speaker 1: with the Yankees.

186
00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 5: They are so beholden to the home run.

187
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: It's so much of its pitching, so much of it's circumstantial,

188
00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 1: so much of its timing is the bottom of the

189
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: lineup and base running. Dodgers could not depend on the

190
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:09,240
Speaker 1: big bats in this series and still found another way

191
00:11:09,280 --> 00:11:11,800
Speaker 1: because this is what they do. I've said this before.

192
00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:14,400
Speaker 1: I think the Dodgers are the best run sports organization

193
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 1: in North America. Drafting, developing, free agency. They just don't

194
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: miss very often. Jay Meg, great show to a blazing five,

195
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:28,800
Speaker 1: top of the hour, Camp Scataboo's doing flips in the

196
00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:29,319
Speaker 1: end zone.

197
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 5: He is fun man. Oh yeah yeah.

198
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:34,840
Speaker 8: Basically, Jackson Darts turning into Jeremy Lynn in New York.

199
00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 8: He's a brush fire that everybody's excited about. If you

200
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 8: think he's your franchise quarterback, you got another thing coming.

201
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 4: All right.

202
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:43,400
Speaker 8: He's a nice story, Colin, let's be real, come on,

203
00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 8: I think he's a little better than that. Oh okay,

204
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 8: I love Jeremy Lynn during his time. It's awesome, But

205
00:11:50,440 --> 00:11:51,319
Speaker 8: I mean Dart.

206
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 1: Is way too reckless on the script.

207
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:54,800
Speaker 5: Well, he's gonna get murdered out there.

208
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: He's gotta yeah. I mean, that's part of it. I

209
00:11:57,200 --> 00:12:01,040
Speaker 1: think it's I mean, remember Baker Mayfield in his second

210
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,240
Speaker 1: or third year in Cleveland, he threw an interception. He

211
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:05,120
Speaker 1: tried to square up a safety and it banged up

212
00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:09,559
Speaker 1: his shoulder. Young players, they're raw. I said this before though,

213
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: before the season started. I said, Jackson Dart was in

214
00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 1: college with Lane Kiffen for three years. Lane Kiffin's coach

215
00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 1: in the pros. Lane's an elite offensive coach. If you're

216
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: with Lane Kiffen for three years in the SEC, against

217
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: those NFL level defenses, NFL players everywhere, you don't need

218
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 1: to sit for a year. This is not like BYU football,

219
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:33,560
Speaker 1: you're a year starter. This is Jackson Dart started in

220
00:12:33,600 --> 00:12:36,880
Speaker 1: the SEC with Lane Kiffen for three years. The Russell

221
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,959
Speaker 1: Wilson thing was nice. I think you saw Brian Dable

222
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: rushing to the tenth. He wanted Jackson Dart on the field,

223
00:12:44,040 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 1: and we said this start Jackson Dart. When you play

224
00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 1: in the Big ten, or you playing the SEC and

225
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:52,839
Speaker 1: you're playing three years with a really smart offensive coach,

226
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: you don't need to sit. This is not somebody from

227
00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:58,720
Speaker 1: you know, a Mountain West Conference, a one year with

228
00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: a defensive head coach, Jackson Dart's ready to play. And

229
00:13:01,640 --> 00:13:03,960
Speaker 1: the great thing about that is you're gonna find out.

230
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: By the way, last weekend the Giants had five straight

231
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,960
Speaker 1: possessions with a turnover, so it can get really bad.

232
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,640
Speaker 1: They were fumbles some of them. And then last night

233
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:16,480
Speaker 1: he was magic. So it's not like bow Nicks last

234
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,600
Speaker 1: week in the first half awful, second half outstanding. So

235
00:13:19,640 --> 00:13:21,440
Speaker 1: it's not going to be linear. It's going to be

236
00:13:21,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: all over the map. But what you look for in

237
00:13:23,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 1: these moments with bow Nixon Denver, he'll make throws and

238
00:13:27,520 --> 00:13:30,959
Speaker 1: you're like, okay, that is a franchise quarterback throw. I

239
00:13:30,960 --> 00:13:33,760
Speaker 1: can remember watching Matt Ryan as a rookie and he

240
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 1: was facing the Bears and he threw a ball at

241
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: the left sideline one throw and I was like, yeah,

242
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:41,319
Speaker 1: that's an He threw it between the corner and the safety,

243
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,600
Speaker 1: and it was the first time I'd watched Matt Ryan

244
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:45,839
Speaker 1: out of Boston College and I said, oh, yeah, that's

245
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:48,280
Speaker 1: a starting quarterback. I remember Cam Newton. I think he

246
00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,400
Speaker 1: played Arizona, could be wrong. He went on the road

247
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: in Arizona. I didn't know if he'd work. He was

248
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: a great athlete. He made a throw against Arizona. It

249
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 1: was down the left sideline and you're like, yep, that

250
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:01,120
Speaker 1: is a franchise quarterback. So you absute least see a

251
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: franchise quarterback. But it's not gonna be artistic. Andrew Thomas

252
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,960
Speaker 1: doesn't play. The on line gets bad. Like so it's

253
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,160
Speaker 1: this idea, Brock perty got to sit for a year

254
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:11,880
Speaker 1: and learn this.

255
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:12,080
Speaker 4: Sit.

256
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: Jackson Dart's like, bro the old line's not much. Top

257
00:14:15,440 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: two receivers are out. It's the Eagles. Yeah, that was impressive.

258
00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 1: That's an impressive deniable. That's Cake that's not icing. Don't

259
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:23,880
Speaker 1: mean Jay's one handed catch is icing?

260
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:25,360
Speaker 8: How about the am I can't wait for you to

261
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 8: talk about the Eagles.

262
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,360
Speaker 5: I mean out gained in every game this season. Well,

263
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,360
Speaker 5: they had three hundred and fifty yards that I.

264
00:14:32,240 --> 00:14:34,520
Speaker 1: Didn't think zero points in the second half old.

265
00:14:34,440 --> 00:14:35,680
Speaker 5: Now that's terrible defense.

266
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 1: That's something else to talk about and we will coming up.

Speaker 1: Los Angeles. It's the Hurt whatever platform you're on. Thanks

282
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,720
Speaker 1: for making us part of your day. I have a

283
00:15:28,160 --> 00:15:30,920
Speaker 1: very interesting topic in about five minutes I'm going to

284
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,760
Speaker 1: get to before I get to my picks. Now, I

285
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,360
Speaker 1: will admit I'm going to stay away from Chiefs Lions.

286
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 1: I want to watch the game. I think it's a

287
00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: field goal game either way. I think Kansas City's better

288
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:43,480
Speaker 1: than people think. But I think Detroit's run game is

289
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:48,160
Speaker 1: demoralizing and clock controlling and difficult, so I'm going to

290
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: stay away from that. I'm taking some ugly teams this week.

291
00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,000
Speaker 8: I have no fears, so I'll be discussing Ceast Lions later.

292
00:15:54,160 --> 00:15:57,080
Speaker 8: Some numbers for you not great for your number one

293
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:58,240
Speaker 8: team in the hurt hierarch.

294
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:02,840
Speaker 1: So let me just say this, feast on ugly teams.

295
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:07,760
Speaker 1: You bet Carolina more than like Carolina guy, But I

296
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:10,800
Speaker 1: got my picks this week and I like him. Here

297
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: we go.

298
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,960
Speaker 2: Let's blaze it up, fired up, It's Collins blazon.

299
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 5: Fuck Seahawks at.

300
00:16:19,440 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 1: Jagobsh Seattle plus one and a half go money line.

301
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: They're gonna win this puppy outright. One of five teams

302
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 1: to hold a fourth quarter lead in every game. Even

303
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,480
Speaker 1: the games they lost, they could have won. Number two

304
00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: scoring offense. Since Week two, they've been a great road

305
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: team with Mike McDonald eight game road winning streak, and

306
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: donald is on an absolute eater in his last three

307
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: weeks of passer rating over one thirty.

308
00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 5: The Jags on short.

309
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:50,200
Speaker 1: Rest off a highly emotional win, probably the biggest Jags

310
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: win in several years. Offensively, they are terrible on third down.

311
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,360
Speaker 1: The Seahawks played their worst defensive game of the season.

312
00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:04,120
Speaker 1: They'll be in a bad mood. Watch Seattle's defense come

313
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 1: back revert to what we know they are. The turnover

314
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:11,560
Speaker 1: regression for Jacksonville. They're not going to keep getting three

315
00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:15,479
Speaker 1: and four turnovers a game. Seattle wins outright in a

316
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: bad mood Cross Country thirty twenty seven. Hawks rebound from

317
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 1: that loss last week.

318
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:24,200
Speaker 5: Patriots six seat Take.

319
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: The under Patriots Saints under forty five and a half points.

320
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: Neither team runs the ball right. Patriots and Saints are

321
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:35,520
Speaker 1: scoring under twenty points in half their games this year.

322
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:40,160
Speaker 1: New England's again coming off an emotional, dramatic, tough road win.

323
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,680
Speaker 1: I think they come back down to Earth. I think

324
00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 1: they win, but it's going to be ugly and low scoring.

325
00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: They're a top ten scoring defense. Christian Gonzalez now he's back.

326
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: It's hard to throw on them. The Saints. Spencer Rattler's

327
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: interesting nine touchdown passes an eleven career starts. These are

328
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:02,680
Speaker 1: two teams still finding their way. Can't run the ball.

329
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:07,000
Speaker 1: Patriots win, but take the under. Let's say at twenty

330
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: one to twenty ugly choppie game.

331
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,160
Speaker 5: Take the under Chargers at DOLFI can't believe it, but.

332
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna take Miami plus the four and a half.

333
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: Listen two at home has been good his last seven

334
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:24,680
Speaker 1: home games. He's not the problem. One twelve passer rating.

335
00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: Chargers could be on their third running back and their

336
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:33,320
Speaker 1: third left tackle. They are a mess, and what that does?

337
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,679
Speaker 1: They settle for field goals. They are struggling in the

338
00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: red zone, so even if they dominate time of possession,

339
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:43,640
Speaker 1: they're not gonna dominate in the red zone. Justin Herbert,

340
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:47,439
Speaker 1: three straight games with at least one interception. So I

341
00:18:47,640 --> 00:18:52,199
Speaker 1: get a team traveling cross country on backups to backups,

342
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:57,080
Speaker 1: a Miami coach fighting for his career, and they're getting

343
00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,359
Speaker 1: four and a half at home. I think I'm gonna

344
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 1: take the Dolphins. Chargers probably win this game twenty four

345
00:19:05,560 --> 00:19:08,919
Speaker 1: to twenty three. I'm absolutely taking the points with the

346
00:19:08,920 --> 00:19:13,639
Speaker 1: Dolphins Titan Raiders again. I'm betting ugly this week. I

347
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,879
Speaker 1: like the Raiders minus three and a half. They're coming

348
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:21,360
Speaker 1: off a humiliating road loss. What the teams do when

349
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: they're humiliated. The Giants got humiliated last week they beat

350
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:29,000
Speaker 1: the Eagles. They have found a rushing game with Ashton genty.

351
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,359
Speaker 1: Look at the last two weeks for the Raiders one

352
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy three yards rushing yards per game. So

353
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 1: they're gonna lean on that, and folks Tennessee's awful. Forget

354
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:45,000
Speaker 1: the win last week, They're awful. Hell, the twenty points

355
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:48,720
Speaker 1: are fewer and four to five games allowing six yards

356
00:19:48,760 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 1: of play, So again, I don't love Gino. I think

357
00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:56,000
Speaker 1: they're gonna run the ball. It's gonna be ugly. The

358
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,439
Speaker 1: Raiders were humiliated. Maybe it's one of their few wins

359
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:02,160
Speaker 1: on the year, but I'm gonna take it. Swallow the points.

360
00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:06,680
Speaker 1: Twenty six seventeen over. What I think in Tennessee right

361
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:09,480
Speaker 1: now is easily the worst team.

362
00:20:09,280 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 5: In the league. Bears at Commanders.

363
00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:15,080
Speaker 1: My favorite bet of the week is the Commander's minus

364
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:16,920
Speaker 1: four and a half. They're two and zero at home,

365
00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,920
Speaker 1: both blowout wins last three weeks, averaging twenty seven plus

366
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:23,879
Speaker 1: points in three games. Okay, so they're getting points on

367
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: the board. Jayden Daniels last week looked excellent according to PFF.

368
00:20:28,240 --> 00:20:31,040
Speaker 1: They also have the best special teams and their defense

369
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: is getting after it upfront. So I think you're gonna

370
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: see the Washington of last year. Terry mcclaurin could play

371
00:20:37,160 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: the Bears. They've lost four straight in prime time. They're

372
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:42,959
Speaker 1: not a rise to the moment franchise. They've been a

373
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:47,280
Speaker 1: bad road team forever. Their defense is allowing the most yards.

374
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: Do you know that lost in all this Caleb Williams discussion.

375
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,600
Speaker 1: Their defense is allowing six points seven yards of play.

376
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 1: It's atrocious. The Commanders win thirty three to twenty six. Jmack,

377
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:03,160
Speaker 1: I love my picks. I'm taking some ugly I'm taking

378
00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:06,880
Speaker 1: the points in Miami. At home, I'm taking the Raiders.

379
00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:09,639
Speaker 1: Raiders had the Bears beat last week if not for

380
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:10,520
Speaker 1: that field goal.

381
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:13,679
Speaker 5: You don't like my picks, you know what happened.

382
00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 8: If you lie down with dogs, you get fleas colin

383
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,919
Speaker 8: and there's some there's some gross this yere so I

384
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,560
Speaker 8: respect that. By the way, did you look at the

385
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:23,159
Speaker 8: Seahawks injury report? Three of the four starters in the

386
00:21:23,160 --> 00:21:26,800
Speaker 8: secondary maybe down this week? Not great at all against

387
00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:28,320
Speaker 8: Trevor Lawrence who's slinging it.

388
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:31,240
Speaker 1: So you're gonna take a team take it? That is

389
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: literally kind of bipolarish at home after the most important

390
00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:39,479
Speaker 1: win for the franchise national TV game in years. I mean,

391
00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: let's be honest about Jacksonville. When's the last time they

392
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:44,000
Speaker 1: played back to back great games against good teams.

393
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,600
Speaker 8: Here's what I'm surprised that you're taking close spreads. There's

394
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,200
Speaker 8: some big ones out there. Rams are big.

395
00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: It looks like Lamar's not going to go oh intersults

396
00:21:50,440 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 1: are big.

397
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,280
Speaker 5: Looks like Kyler's on this show What Did I Do

398
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 5: a week ago?

399
00:21:54,640 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: Bills are going to crush the same Packers are going.

400
00:21:57,240 --> 00:21:58,320
Speaker 5: To crush the Cowboys.

401
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,199
Speaker 1: Chargers are going to crush the Giants last what was

402
00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:04,720
Speaker 1: last night? Eagle is going to crush I stayed away

403
00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 1: from all of them. All Right, you know what game

404
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,480
Speaker 1: I actually like? I could be out of my mind here,

405
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,280
Speaker 1: He'll tell me. Dolphins Raiders. Yeah, that you're out of

406
00:22:15,320 --> 00:22:18,480
Speaker 1: your mind for sure when you when you they're running

407
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: the ball.

408
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 8: Now.

409
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,919
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Herd weekdays

410
00:22:21,920 --> 00:22:23,879
Speaker 2: in noon eastern non am Pacific.

411
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: They played in the NFL for seven years. A Heisman

412
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,320
Speaker 1: Trophy finalist, he's one of the voices of college football

413
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:32,159
Speaker 1: at Fox. It's great to have mon Brady quinn Is

414
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 1: joining us. He'll be at that Ohio State Illinois game

415
00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: where USC didn't exactly didn't exactly light the world up,

416
00:22:39,560 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: so that was pretty disappointing. We'll get to USC Michigan

417
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 1: in a bit. Listen, Ohio State. I've always felt Brady,

418
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:49,359
Speaker 1: it's the SEC program up north. But that's when I

419
00:22:49,359 --> 00:22:51,720
Speaker 1: felt the SEC was better than the Big Ten.

420
00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 5: I don't.

421
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,399
Speaker 1: I think Indiana is the equal of old miss I think.

422
00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:59,920
Speaker 1: I mean you living them in West. I think time

423
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:02,359
Speaker 1: have changed. I was watching Dave Portnoy this morning on

424
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,879
Speaker 1: social and he did all these matchups, and I didn't

425
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:07,959
Speaker 1: disagree with him. It does look different, Brady. When I

426
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: watched Big ten games five years ago, it looked different.

427
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:13,720
Speaker 1: I think Ohio State's the best team in the country,

428
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure Oregon's not second.

429
00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 5: How's that land for you?

430
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:19,359
Speaker 4: That's about right?

431
00:23:19,359 --> 00:23:20,720
Speaker 10: I mean, I think you got to throw into Miami

432
00:23:20,800 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 10: into the conversation right now. I know that doesn't play

433
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:25,880
Speaker 10: into a Big ten SEC debate when it's all said

434
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 10: and done. But the reality is the last two national

435
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:30,960
Speaker 10: champions were Big ten teams. You go back and look

436
00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:32,879
Speaker 10: at the teams that are playing for it, even the

437
00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 10: semi finals last year Penn State Notre Dame that is

438
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,000
Speaker 10: not obviously the Big ten, but still a Midwest team.

439
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:40,879
Speaker 10: You're seeing really a lot of these Big ten teams.

440
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 10: Midwest teams have caught up. And it's important for Big

441
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:46,879
Speaker 10: ten specifically because they're getting more money in for NIL.

442
00:23:47,119 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 10: You know, they're just schools with a little bit more

443
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,680
Speaker 10: money to be able to pass around. And when you

444
00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 10: think about the transfer port, when thinking about how you

445
00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:56,040
Speaker 10: construct a roster, that plays a huge role.

446
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:57,640
Speaker 4: And so before NIL.

447
00:23:57,400 --> 00:24:00,080
Speaker 10: Really became legalized for a lot of these players, I

448
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:03,119
Speaker 10: think the SEC was able to dominate. And now players

449
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:05,320
Speaker 10: are willing to go wherever they can to get an

450
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 10: opportunity to play win a national championship, and also, you know,

451
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:11,359
Speaker 10: maximize their market ability and maximize their ability to make

452
00:24:11,400 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 10: as much as they can. So they're willing to leave

453
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 10: the warm confines of the South to be able to

454
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 10: go up to the North and be able to take

455
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,880
Speaker 10: over on some of those teams and go win national championships.

456
00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:22,760
Speaker 10: So again, I think we're seeing that passing of the

457
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:24,920
Speaker 10: torch right now, still a lot of football le f

458
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 10: P played. We'll see how it all plays out, but

459
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:28,640
Speaker 10: I don't think there's any doubt about it. Our hot state,

460
00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 10: Oregon looked to be two of the best, if not

461
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 10: the two best teams in the country.

462
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:37,160
Speaker 1: So when the West Coast teams joined the Big Ten,

463
00:24:37,760 --> 00:24:40,440
Speaker 1: you know, my take was Oregon and Washington already playing

464
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: cruddy weather all the time. It won't matter. The flights

465
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: are three and four hours, they're not eight. You're not

466
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:49,520
Speaker 1: playing in Beijing. It's fine. But USC has been different, Brady.

467
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:53,560
Speaker 1: They haven't looked physical. They look like a warm weather team.

468
00:24:53,760 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: They got pushed around last week by Illinois, and I

469
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,919
Speaker 1: said yesterday this Michigan game, you got Notre Dame comme.

470
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,520
Speaker 1: You're not beating Notre Dame there with that quarterback play

471
00:25:02,600 --> 00:25:05,440
Speaker 1: and that coach. You're not beating Oregon and Oatson. This

472
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: is a defining moment that you have pivoted the big

473
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 1: ten fold. I think it's that big of a game

474
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 1: for USC. I don't think it's that big for Michigan.

475
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,800
Speaker 1: I mean, how is your feeling going into this game?

476
00:25:16,840 --> 00:25:21,240
Speaker 10: In La more curiosity than anything else. I mean, very

477
00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:23,760
Speaker 10: simile to Illinois, who you talked about a little bit ago.

478
00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 10: Disappointed you when they knocked off your you know, Southern

479
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 10: Cayl Trojans, but they responded after a really tough lost Indiana.

480
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,320
Speaker 10: I mean, you're watch that tape going, how can this

481
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 10: be the same team? The way Brett Billen was able

482
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:38,200
Speaker 10: to get Illinois to rally and respond to that, it's

483
00:25:38,200 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 10: going to be very similar to Lincoln Riley. He's got

484
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,240
Speaker 10: to find a way to get his team to rally,

485
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 10: stay in this thing, realize that you know it's just

486
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,320
Speaker 10: one loss. It doesn't define your season, or you can't

487
00:25:47,359 --> 00:25:49,960
Speaker 10: let it define your season. So their physicality will be

488
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:53,160
Speaker 10: challenged once again by Michigan, because yes, the passing attack

489
00:25:53,600 --> 00:25:56,080
Speaker 10: has improved. Bryce Underwood probably had his best passing game

490
00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:59,800
Speaker 10: this past week versus Wisconsin, but different challenge in the past.

491
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 4: Defence for Michigan's going to be challenged.

492
00:26:01,800 --> 00:26:05,639
Speaker 10: Big time with mackay Lemon, Jacoby Lane, all the playmakers

493
00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:08,520
Speaker 10: that USC has on the outside as talent of quarterback

494
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:10,960
Speaker 10: as Jade Maava is, so we know that they can

495
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,119
Speaker 10: match up in that respect. The question is if Michigan

496
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,160
Speaker 10: starts to play Bolli ball very similar the way Illinois

497
00:26:17,160 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 10: was able to run against them, are.

498
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: They going to be able to get off the field.

499
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 4: Are they going to be able to get stops?

500
00:26:21,240 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 10: Because the Illinois USC game was not as close as.

501
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:24,399
Speaker 4: The score predictive be.

502
00:26:24,520 --> 00:26:27,000
Speaker 10: There's two fumbles that were going into the end zone,

503
00:26:27,160 --> 00:26:28,960
Speaker 10: one of which never should have been overturned or never

504
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,159
Speaker 10: should call in the first place.

505
00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:31,359
Speaker 4: He was already down.

506
00:26:31,480 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 10: So when you look at this matchup, it's really a

507
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 10: challenge to USC to see how they can respond physically

508
00:26:37,480 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 10: more than anything else. And it's going to speak volumes

509
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:42,320
Speaker 10: about where this program's at. And the tough thing for

510
00:26:42,359 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 10: them is they got to play Michigan, then you go

511
00:26:44,320 --> 00:26:46,320
Speaker 10: on the road to play Notre Dame, another physical team.

512
00:26:46,600 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 10: They're going through a gauntlet this season of physicality. You've

513
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:53,160
Speaker 10: got to play Nebraska at some point too. All those matchups,

514
00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:54,959
Speaker 10: it's going to be whether or not they can not

515
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 10: only survive and then meet that physicality, but sustain it

516
00:26:58,280 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 10: throughout the rest of the season.

517
00:27:00,080 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: So before I get to your Ohio State game, Notre

518
00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: Dame plays NC State, then they play sc So it's

519
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:08,439
Speaker 1: one of those weird games where your big rivals the

520
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:09,280
Speaker 1: following week.

521
00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 4: A trap game, trap game. He's probably started to.

522
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,080
Speaker 5: Say, yeah, yeah, CJ. Carr is playing out of his mind.

523
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,360
Speaker 1: He is he a freshman? I think he's a freshman,

524
00:27:18,400 --> 00:27:18,679
Speaker 1: isn't he?

525
00:27:18,880 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 4: Is he sure a freshman?

526
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 1: Yeah? It's about I mean, the kid can play. So

527
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,760
Speaker 1: I look at Dante More and CJ. Carr, and we

528
00:27:27,800 --> 00:27:29,800
Speaker 1: came into the year with all these big name quarterbacks

529
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:32,600
Speaker 1: and I'm like, no, those are the two best quarterbacks.

530
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about CJ and talk a little

531
00:27:35,320 --> 00:27:38,200
Speaker 1: bit about Dante, because I don't think it's close. From

532
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:42,160
Speaker 1: what I've watched this season, those guys that's Sunday football,

533
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,520
Speaker 1: I mean, and it's way too early for CJ. But

534
00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:47,880
Speaker 1: those guys look special. Well what do you see?

535
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:50,679
Speaker 10: Well, let me first say this, I'd throw Fernanda Mendoza

536
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:53,600
Speaker 10: at Indiana into that conversation. So he's been phenomenal this year,

537
00:27:53,760 --> 00:27:56,320
Speaker 10: and also Carson back He's responded well so far. So

538
00:27:56,600 --> 00:27:59,440
Speaker 10: I would say those four are playing the best quarterback

539
00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,119
Speaker 10: and joints as well as as number five of anyone

540
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:04,840
Speaker 10: in the country right now. But specifically see Jayman. Look,

541
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 10: his grandfather was Lloyd Carr. We all know that as

542
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 10: Pops played as well. You can just tell the way

543
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:12,919
Speaker 10: he plays the game. He's been brought up to be

544
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,560
Speaker 10: able to read defenses, understand what offensive coordinators are trying

545
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,679
Speaker 10: to execute on any given play. He's able to manipulate

546
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:22,120
Speaker 10: the defense with his eyes. He does things that are

547
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 10: just so far beyond where he's at in his playing

548
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,280
Speaker 10: career at Notre Dame. It gives you the sense that

549
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 10: you feel like he's almost NFL ready because of how

550
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:33,199
Speaker 10: he plays the game. He's ridiculously accurate with the football

551
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 10: at all three levels in the field, and he can

552
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 10: move around, he can create, he can make something out

553
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,040
Speaker 10: of nothing. So this young man, to me, and I've

554
00:28:40,040 --> 00:28:42,600
Speaker 10: said this before, I said it when he signed, I

555
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 10: think is going to be the greatest quarterback in Notre

556
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 10: Dame history.

557
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,040
Speaker 4: Like that's how special he is.

558
00:28:47,360 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 10: When you watch him play the game, it feels like

559
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 10: everything's playing so slow for him. And very similar to

560
00:28:52,320 --> 00:28:54,720
Speaker 10: that Dante Moore, who was a big Notre Dame recruiter

561
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:55,600
Speaker 10: I ended up going to UCLA.

562
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 4: Obviously, he found his way to Oregon. Same thing.

563
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 10: I mean, these young men calling the nowadays come in

564
00:29:00,920 --> 00:29:04,920
Speaker 10: so prepared mechanically, there's no flaws in their throwing motion.

565
00:29:05,280 --> 00:29:06,640
Speaker 4: They're accurate as all get out.

566
00:29:06,840 --> 00:29:10,200
Speaker 10: They understand what offensive cordators are asking from them at

567
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 10: these different concepts, how they're trying to attack a defense.

568
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 10: And you just saw in a big stage versus Penn

569
00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 10: State how he handled in that clutch moment. So Dante

570
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:21,040
Speaker 10: Moore is draft Eligi. Well, he is the guy that

571
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,600
Speaker 10: if I was a team looking at this quarterback class

572
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:25,520
Speaker 10: would have up there as one of my top quarterbacks

573
00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:29,000
Speaker 10: that I'm evaluating, potentially taking number one overall. So big

574
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 10: game for him this week obviously versus IU. He's got

575
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 10: a lot more to display, I think. But I think

576
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:37,840
Speaker 10: the world of Dante mort too. He's very poised, another

577
00:29:37,880 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 10: wise young man. When you talk to him, he just

578
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 10: feels ready for the moment. Nothing's ever too big for him.

579
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,360
Speaker 1: So you have Ohio State Illinois. I got to give

580
00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:48,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Day credit. When people beat up on Ryan Day.

581
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:51,920
Speaker 1: My take as well. He's losing the Hardballs Wolverines in Georgia.

582
00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:56,640
Speaker 1: Let's let's slow down. But I think it takes some

583
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:58,960
Speaker 1: security to go. I'm gonna go to the NFL and

584
00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:01,760
Speaker 1: get Chip Kelly friends. I know that. But then he

585
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,920
Speaker 1: does it again with Matt Patricia. And last year the

586
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:07,000
Speaker 1: Buckeyes were kind of about their offense. This year the

587
00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,880
Speaker 1: kind of about their defense. And I got to tell

588
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:13,320
Speaker 1: you when I when I watched that defense, how much

589
00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: of it Brady is the scheme?

590
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 5: Patricia?

591
00:30:17,400 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: Because I think Chip Kelly by the end of that year,

592
00:30:20,080 --> 00:30:23,280
Speaker 1: they had good players. I mean, Abuka is obviously ridiculous,

593
00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:26,800
Speaker 1: but when you watch Ohio State's defense, they shut Washington down.

594
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: Is it the talent? Is it the players? Is that

595
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: Matt Patricia. What does the film tell Brady Quinn?

596
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,040
Speaker 4: I think it's the combination of all of it.

597
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:36,480
Speaker 10: I mean, I think, first off, where you give Randy

598
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,800
Speaker 10: a lot of credits, the fact that he lost Jim Kelly,

599
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,160
Speaker 10: you know, he lost Jim Knowles, and so you're fining,

600
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 10: you're you know, finding new people to come into those spots.

601
00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 10: And for Matt Patricia to come down to the college level,

602
00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:47,600
Speaker 10: there's a bit of a learning curve there, but also

603
00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,080
Speaker 10: eight new starters on defense. So when you take that

604
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 10: into account, this group is playing as good, if not

605
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:55,880
Speaker 10: better than last year's defense. And that's really saying something

606
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:58,120
Speaker 10: for a lot of guys who are jumping into roles

607
00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,160
Speaker 10: like Kayden Curry, who's starting this year, is one of

608
00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 10: the best edge rushers in the country right now, rvil

609
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,080
Speaker 10: Reeese sunny styles. These guys have really you know, kind

610
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 10: of popped up versts on the scene. Is two of

611
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,200
Speaker 10: the best defenders at the linebacker position you're going to

612
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,240
Speaker 10: see all of college football. So it's part of obviously

613
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:15,400
Speaker 10: the players and the skill they have, it's part of

614
00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 10: the development. I also think it's part of the scheme

615
00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:19,480
Speaker 10: because it's a very different scheme than what we saw,

616
00:31:19,720 --> 00:31:22,320
Speaker 10: you know, last year from Jim Knowles, who typically had

617
00:31:22,360 --> 00:31:24,200
Speaker 10: kind of come from over that three three five. And

618
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 10: Matt Patricia is so multiple with that NFL approach, where

619
00:31:27,440 --> 00:31:29,840
Speaker 10: you're getting a variety of fronts, a variety of coverages,

620
00:31:29,880 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 10: a variety of looks that you have to deal with,

621
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,440
Speaker 10: and throughout the course of the game, he's not allowing

622
00:31:34,440 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 10: you to get a beat on things. So defensively speaking,

623
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,880
Speaker 10: they have been absolutely lights out. And it's important because

624
00:31:40,880 --> 00:31:43,400
Speaker 10: that talent and obviously their coaching staff, but also on

625
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 10: the flip side, looking at their offense, it's because of

626
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 10: how scary they are on that side.

627
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 4: I mean, teams are.

628
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,080
Speaker 10: So afraid to give this offense opportunities with the football.

629
00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:54,600
Speaker 10: Go back to the Washington game. Really had seven drives

630
00:31:55,040 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 10: in the entire game. You're averaging usually twelve, So people

631
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 10: are almost running four minute offense is to start games

632
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,040
Speaker 10: just to keep Julian sand and Jeremiah Smith and Carnell

633
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 10: Tate off of the field. Now, I know obvious State

634
00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:08,560
Speaker 10: doesn't run at a breakneck pace either on offense, but

635
00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 10: still it goes to show you the respect that I

636
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:12,440
Speaker 10: think a lot of teams have and what they think

637
00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:13,480
Speaker 10: of this team as a whole.

638
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 4: But a lot of credit goes.

639
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,200
Speaker 10: To Ryan Day and you know, giving Brian Harlan that opportunity,

640
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,720
Speaker 10: who's done a tremendous job with the offense, bringing joy

641
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,280
Speaker 10: and sane along and really, you know, finding a freshman

642
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:26,720
Speaker 10: and Bo Jackson, who's really emerged is probably their best

643
00:32:26,760 --> 00:32:28,920
Speaker 10: running back at this point too. For a team that

644
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:30,400
Speaker 10: I think is going to be in the National championship

645
00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 10: hunt once again. You know, that's that's a lot of

646
00:32:33,040 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 10: credit you're giving a young man to be able to

647
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,480
Speaker 10: take over at that specific position, to be able to carry

648
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,640
Speaker 10: the rock for you. But that's how this Ohio State

649
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,479
Speaker 10: is kind of Ohio State team has emerged this year

650
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:42,880
Speaker 10: after all the talent that's gone on the.

651
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:47,920
Speaker 1: NFL Big Noon kicked off ken Eastern Ohio State in Champagne.

652
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: I was there last week. The outcome was not my

653
00:32:51,200 --> 00:32:52,760
Speaker 1: favorite outcome of all time.

654
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 10: A lot of us loved it, Actually, Colin, a lot

655
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,560
Speaker 10: of us here in the Midwest we're not surprised by

656
00:32:57,640 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 10: I loved it.
