But TCU was in a championship 51 00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 1: game last year. They not losing the Colorado. Prime gonna 52 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,360 Speaker 1: turn it around, but they not going to lose the 53 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: fact that they beat TCU, and TCU to me, was 54 00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,040 Speaker 1: supposed to be a good defensive team.

How you 56 00:02:57,440 --> 00:03:01,080 Speaker 1: said GC you was going to Coloradlado and I told 57 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:04,120 Speaker 1: you that wasn't gonna Now Colorado gonna turn it around. 58 00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 1: They're just not gonna turn it around against TCU. And 59 00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 1: I was shocked. I was shocked at they did. I mean, 60 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,960 Speaker 1: I talked to Prime this Tuesday. I'm like, Prime, I'm 61 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:15,760 Speaker 1: not gonna lie. I didn't think I was going win. 62 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,400 Speaker 1: I was shocked. And he started laughing at He's like, oh, 63 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: I got to make you believe too, huh right. And 64 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm just looking at it like what he has done 65 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:32,680 Speaker 1: in one game at Colorado. Man, all these kids are 66 00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:34,920 Speaker 1: gonna want to go to Colorado. They're kicking off right now, 67 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,800 Speaker 1: Nebraska and Colorado. What are your thoughts on last week 68 00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:45,520 Speaker 1: and what's gonna happen today versus Colorado? I mean, listen, Nebraska. 69 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:47,720 Speaker 4: So I was saying last week that we really know 70 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 4: what to expect from Colorado because he basically has a 71 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:54,640 Speaker 4: whole new team of playoffs that the that the country 72 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:55,560 Speaker 4: hasn't seen yet. 73 00:03:56,120 --> 00:03:57,120 Speaker 1: But I wasn't. 74 00:03:57,200 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 4: I wasn't surprised by the outcome of the game because 75 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,200 Speaker 4: I thought Colorado will gonna win. But what I was 76 00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:04,960 Speaker 4: surprised by how is how Shador played. The quarterback was 77 00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:09,240 Speaker 4: just throwing them five hundred yards and he was extremely accurate. 78 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: Yo. 79 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:11,960 Speaker 4: He was throwing some of these deep balls on the 80 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 4: sideline man, and he was dropping them things right in 81 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,960 Speaker 4: the bread basket and you had to running back to 82 00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 4: the little speedy running back. And I just thought that, 83 00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 4: like they look faster. They just looked like they were, 84 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,360 Speaker 4: you know, reacting on defense, and they had a pretty 85 00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 4: good grip on what TCU was going to do. But 86 00:04:30,880 --> 00:04:33,560 Speaker 4: I just thought that, you know, they went on and 87 00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:35,960 Speaker 4: made the plays, the correct plays when it needed to 88 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 4: be making. It was one thing that I said last week, 89 00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 4: I said, if you know anything about Prime. He may 90 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 4: not have the best team, but I tell you one thing, 91 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:48,760 Speaker 4: I know that the team is going to be prepared. 92 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,960 Speaker 4: And that is the biggest thing that stood out about 93 00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,000 Speaker 4: me is how prepared they were, not just for the game, 94 00:04:56,040 --> 00:05:00,840 Speaker 4: but just for the moment, like understanding you know what 95 00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,600 Speaker 4: was at stake going into this game, going to the 96 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 4: game's three, three touchdown underdogs. I'm saying to myself, I said, 97 00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 4: many they bess don't know who Prime is or what 98 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:14,280 Speaker 4: this man is about. But man, listen, I think they'll 99 00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:17,640 Speaker 4: win again to day and they are just going to 100 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 4: be a team to where you know, it's it's a 101 00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,679 Speaker 4: it's a different animal dealing with them offensive and defensive 102 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:26,080 Speaker 4: because it's like that me. Man, they just got so 103 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:29,120 Speaker 4: many options. This kid travels hunter man the way he 104 00:05:29,240 --> 00:05:31,440 Speaker 4: you know, I think they were playing like quarters in 105 00:05:31,480 --> 00:05:33,520 Speaker 4: the in the red zone and he passes off the 106 00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,400 Speaker 4: slant and sees the bat coming out of the back 107 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 4: and passing it off and a quarterback like those are 108 00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 4: professional uh NFL players that they make those kind of plays, 109 00:05:45,600 --> 00:05:49,680 Speaker 4: not in college because usually a corner just go with 110 00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,520 Speaker 4: the slant. But he recognized what was going on and 111 00:05:52,600 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 4: dropped it and made a hell of an interception. But 112 00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:58,400 Speaker 4: I'm just looking forward to this game today against Nebraska. 113 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 6: I think they're gonna go to and you know, it's crazy, 114 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:02,239 Speaker 6: I think Flacks. 115 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 5: The thing you said that really stood out the most 116 00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 5: there is just the preparedness, right. I think a lot 117 00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:08,480 Speaker 5: of guys get caught up in the flash of what, 118 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,800 Speaker 5: you know, what coach Prime can do, and you know, 119 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:12,920 Speaker 5: the attention that he's going to bring to the squad 120 00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:16,400 Speaker 5: as well, But just seeing how prepared they were, how 121 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 5: schooled they were. I mean, you talked about the red 122 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:20,599 Speaker 5: zone play, right, I think I don't even know if 123 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,000 Speaker 5: it was quarters or not. It could have been, but 124 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 5: I thought it was man. But it looks like they 125 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:26,479 Speaker 5: made a flat call what we would call in the 126 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 5: pros a flat call, right, And so you make a 127 00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,840 Speaker 5: flat call, that means everybody's going to pass everything off 128 00:06:30,880 --> 00:06:33,440 Speaker 5: on your zone. And so just having that awareness to 129 00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,000 Speaker 5: be able to get to that check in the heat 130 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,760 Speaker 5: of the moment, first game of the season, just shows 131 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 5: how prepared they were, and I just you know, I'm 132 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:43,320 Speaker 5: excited for them to see where they go from there, 133 00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:45,480 Speaker 5: and hopefully they can keep it going because it'll be 134 00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:46,960 Speaker 5: a great story for the college football year. 135 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:51,600 Speaker 1: And you know, Prime, at one point in time, people 136 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 1: thought he was going to be offered a Nebraska job 137 00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 1: and they just went straight to Matt rule. And so 138 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 1: when they say, you know this this rivalry and it's 139 00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:05,719 Speaker 1: rivalry dates back to Tommy Fraser and Cordell Stewart time, 140 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,760 Speaker 1: but they in that sense passed over Prime were going 141 00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:14,360 Speaker 1: straight to bad rule. And so you know, he feels 142 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,400 Speaker 1: a certain type of way about this. And for Matt 143 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: Ruld losing the nail bier that he did last week, 144 00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:22,880 Speaker 1: he wants to come out this week and prove a point. 145 00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 1: But I'm with you, plax, it's gonna be tough seeding 146 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,120 Speaker 1: when you can beat And I don't think people really understand. 147 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 1: I don't care who TCU lost. They were in the 148 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:36,960 Speaker 1: National championship game last year, and I don't care how much, 149 00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:39,040 Speaker 1: how many points and how bad they got their buts 150 00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:42,600 Speaker 1: kicked by. They were in the national championship game and 151 00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: for a team that went one in eleven. And yes 152 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: they have a ton of transfers, but he brought that 153 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 1: team together so fast. The way he's coaching these guys. 154 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 1: When you talk prepared, man, these dudes seem like they 155 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:00,720 Speaker 1: know what the other team is doing. Because I never 156 00:08:00,760 --> 00:08:02,480 Speaker 1: feel this. I never forget this. 157 00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:02,680 Speaker 3: Man. 158 00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:06,240 Speaker 1: It's a true story. So Prime was at the end 159 00:08:06,320 --> 00:08:09,960 Speaker 1: of his career and we played the Ravens and obviously 160 00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:15,120 Speaker 1: he was a nickelback. Bro. He literally called me before 161 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,160 Speaker 1: the game and was like, you ain't getting nothing in 162 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,080 Speaker 1: that slot. That's what he told me. Wow, I said, Prime, 163 00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: are you crazy? 164 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:23,000 Speaker 3: You? 165 00:08:23,080 --> 00:08:26,240 Speaker 1: Oh bruh, that's what I told him. I said, you, oh, bro, 166 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:28,600 Speaker 1: you're not stopping me. He started laughing. He was like, 167 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: young fella, I know everything you're gonna do. It's what 168 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 1: he told me after the game. After the game, he said, 169 00:08:37,280 --> 00:08:39,440 Speaker 1: when you go in motion from this spot to hear, 170 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,000 Speaker 1: you only run two routes. When you do this, you 171 00:08:42,080 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: only one round rounds. So every time I saw this motion, 172 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:47,520 Speaker 1: I already knew what was coming. He told me this. 173 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 1: After the game. I literally went to the coaches and 174 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 1: was like, hey, you know this what Dion just said 175 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:55,360 Speaker 1: to me, Like, this is what he told me, and 176 00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:58,000 Speaker 1: it was everything that he said was true. And so 177 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:03,760 Speaker 1: from experience, I know was he physically very gifted. Yeah, 178 00:09:03,840 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: he was physically very gifted, but we always overlook the 179 00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: mental part of the game. When somebody is so physically good, 180 00:09:11,920 --> 00:09:15,440 Speaker 1: he's just as good mentally. And that's why the best 181 00:09:15,440 --> 00:09:17,960 Speaker 1: players are just not football and sports in general. They're 182 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:22,839 Speaker 1: really good physically, but they're great mentally. And so he 183 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:27,320 Speaker 1: has that team with a good understanding of what to expect. 184 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:31,880 Speaker 1: As I'm speaking, Nebrass is kind of driving the ball 185 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:33,839 Speaker 1: down the field. But yeah, I'm with you, guys, man, 186 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:37,880 Speaker 1: I like Colorado. I hope that high that they're on, 187 00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,400 Speaker 1: that they don't let it get to their heads, because 188 00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: that's easy when your kids you're this age, you kind 189 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 1: of start feeling yourself. You know, you're watching TV, you're 190 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: reading the internet, you're looking on social media. Well they 191 00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 1: don't read the internet, they're looking on social media, and 192 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 1: you can start to feel yourself. 193 00:09:52,640 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 6: So yeah, I'm sorry, sorry, no, go ahead, yeh yeah. 194 00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:58,600 Speaker 5: The other thing about that is not even just righting 195 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 5: the way that they're on now, but now they're going 196 00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 5: to be the hunted now. So you know, they came 197 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,400 Speaker 5: into the game, came into the season with the underdog 198 00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 5: mentality of We're we're gonna go out and hunt these guys. 199 00:10:08,400 --> 00:10:11,320 Speaker 5: But now with all the attention they're getting and for 200 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 5: them to actually come out and win that first game 201 00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 5: and get on the board. That way, they're going to 202 00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,559 Speaker 5: be hunting now, so how are they going to handle 203 00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:17,000 Speaker 5: that as well? 204 00:10:17,720 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: And this is the thing they got to understand. Each 205 00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:23,640 Speaker 1: week is independent upon itself. What you did last week, 206 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:27,240 Speaker 1: nobody cares now because if you lay an egg today, 207 00:10:27,480 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: oh that was a fluke. So that's that's what sports 208 00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 1: is so great. It's week after week after week. You 209 00:10:34,679 --> 00:10:37,680 Speaker 1: got to continue to prove yourself because if you don't, 210 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:42,200 Speaker 1: you're gonna be considered a fraud. And so I look 211 00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:44,760 Speaker 1: forward to a good game. Matt Rule can coach. He's 212 00:10:44,800 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 1: a better coach at the college level. And again, Nebraska 213 00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,960 Speaker 1: is driving the ball. But I'm with both of you guys. 214 00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:52,360 Speaker 1: I think Colorado's gonna win this game because when they 215 00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:55,120 Speaker 1: get that ball, I want to see how Colorado's gonna 216 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:58,480 Speaker 1: deal with. Like Plaque said earlier, the accuracy and just 217 00:10:58,559 --> 00:11:03,720 Speaker 1: the way they are. They just sound on offense, man, 218 00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:07,440 Speaker 1: the right decisions. He's taking what that he ain't Chador 219 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:10,160 Speaker 1: is not forcing the ball and he's accurate. 220 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:11,400 Speaker 3: Man. 221 00:11:11,600 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 4: Listen, a lot of athletes whole lot of speed, and 222 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:17,600 Speaker 4: I think it's the first time that I've ever seen 223 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,880 Speaker 4: four wide receivers go for over one hundred y'alls in 224 00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 4: a single game. 225 00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: I've never seen that before. We've never seen them. 226 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 4: Not four, nah, I mean maybe two, maybe three, but 227 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,319 Speaker 4: not all four. Man, That's just something that's that's never 228 00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 4: been done before. 229 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, now we don't have a lot of time on 230 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:38,520 Speaker 1: this because we have to take a break. Texas Alabama. 231 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:42,000 Speaker 1: Many assume this is the best team Sarkisian has had 232 00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:45,320 Speaker 1: at Texas in years. You got your quarterback returning. They 233 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,720 Speaker 1: didn't look very good in Week one. I will say that, 234 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:52,000 Speaker 1: playing right, they didn't look that great. Do you believe 235 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: they have a chance versus Alabama? 236 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,000 Speaker 6: I do. I think they do. 237 00:11:58,000 --> 00:11:59,080 Speaker 1: You know it's at Alabama. 238 00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:00,360 Speaker 5: I do know what's at Alabama. I mean, I know 239 00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,560 Speaker 5: it's going to be rowdy. I'm from Alabama. I know 240 00:12:02,600 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 5: what that looks like. Was recruited by them, the whole deal. 241 00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 5: I know how how much energy you know takes place 242 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,760 Speaker 5: and will be in that stadium. But again, it doesn't 243 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,480 Speaker 5: the fans in the stadium and the crowd and all 244 00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:14,719 Speaker 5: that's not going to win the game. It's going to 245 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 5: be execution. Texas has a team that can get it done. 246 00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 5: Is it feasible to say that they can win this 247 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,960 Speaker 5: game on the road, Yes, the likelihood of it. You 248 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,800 Speaker 5: know it's still Alabama, but it's going to be a 249 00:12:26,800 --> 00:12:28,960 Speaker 5: close game. Man, I think Texas has a chance. 250 00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:36,280 Speaker 4: Hell no, Texas, Hey, they got a chance because it's 251 00:12:36,280 --> 00:12:38,480 Speaker 4: good they getting on the bus and walking into the 252 00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:41,480 Speaker 4: stadium of the day. But you I just don't believe 253 00:12:41,559 --> 00:12:44,240 Speaker 4: that Texas is ready for what's going about to hit them. 254 00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,600 Speaker 4: They in Tusky loser. Man, that's a that's a tough 255 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:50,640 Speaker 4: mountain climb right now for Alabama's first home game. And 256 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 4: understanding that, you know, Texas is on the rise, you 257 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 4: know Artra Manning, you know, coming in and everybody's excited 258 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,600 Speaker 4: about the direction that Texas is edited. But as of today, 259 00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:03,680 Speaker 4: Kript and Tiger gonna take him down. 260 00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: You know what, I if Texas is to beat Alabama. 261 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:12,400 Speaker 1: This is the year. And the reason I say that 262 00:13:12,600 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: is new starting quarterback. He played Okay last week he wasn't, 263 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,600 Speaker 1: but they didn't play the caliber of team that Texas is. 264 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: Alabama didn't your quarterback were talking Texas quinn Ewers. I 265 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: know last year in that first quarter he was on 266 00:13:29,440 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: fire like he played extreme well. He doesn't get knocked 267 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: out that game, I believe Texas wins, and so I 268 00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:41,679 Speaker 1: believe they do have a chance because Sarkesian really understands 269 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:45,040 Speaker 1: how Saban wants to play defense. He really under he 270 00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:48,680 Speaker 1: understands how to attack that defense, and it showed last 271 00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:52,040 Speaker 1: year in that first quarter. Now can they execute at 272 00:13:52,080 --> 00:13:55,600 Speaker 1: that level? Alabama's always going to be Alabama when you 273 00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 1: get into that stadium. Is that intimidation going to affect you? 274 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,000 Speaker 1: Is the crowd going to affect you? And so when 275 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:06,800 Speaker 1: you have adversity, can you bounce back? I believe Texas 276 00:14:06,800 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: has a chance because if you don't beat that, we 277 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 1: all know they're going to the SEC. If you can't 278 00:14:12,760 --> 00:14:16,920 Speaker 1: beat Alabama this year, moving forward, it's gonna be hell 279 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:21,040 Speaker 1: because they are going to get more experienced with the quarterback. 280 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:25,120 Speaker 1: Very very rarely do you see Alabama not really have 281 00:14:25,280 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 1: an answer at quarterback and Milrow he started last week. 282 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: This is second game. Take advantage of it. If your texts. 283 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: If not, your chance is moving forward, it's not looking good. 284 00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: It's not looking good. So now we'll come back, We'll 285 00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 1: take a break. Well, we'll get in the we'll get 286 00:14:44,320 --> 00:14:49,720 Speaker 1: into some NFL well almost they end up they end 287 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: up getting a sack. But yeah, these college football games, man, 288 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,920 Speaker 1: they know they just recovered the fumble, not a quarterback fumble, 289 00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: but he picked Oh wow, every cover? Oh what am 290 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: I looking at? 291 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 4: Hey? 292 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 1: Going to school? You know how the fading that is 293 00:15:08,160 --> 00:15:11,080 Speaker 1: Nebraska to drive down the field and then boom you 294 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: fumble and what what is this carry? We're gonna I 295 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: want you to touch on this really quick, really quick, 296 00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: really quick. What is up with all these defensive college 297 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,720 Speaker 1: teams playing a three man front? 298 00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 4: You know, three five? 299 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,160 Speaker 1: That's crazy? Why are they doing that? Like? 300 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 4: What do they think they played it last year? 301 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:33,160 Speaker 5: I don't know, there's no we know this obviously on 302 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 5: the pro level, right, if you're not affecting the quarterback, 303 00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:38,320 Speaker 5: you have no chance of winning, especially these high caliber guys, 304 00:15:38,360 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 5: These guys that can, like Shure Door last week, be 305 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,640 Speaker 5: able to literally make the right play every time that 306 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,160 Speaker 5: was That's what's going to happen now. These guys are 307 00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,720 Speaker 5: so school that they're going to make the right play. 308 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:49,800 Speaker 5: So I don't know what they're doing. And they don't 309 00:15:49,840 --> 00:15:52,120 Speaker 5: have the guys that are talented enough to play in 310 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 5: those spaces anyway, So I don't know, man, you know 311 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:56,320 Speaker 5: it goes, you know, it goes with the waves. Whatever 312 00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,880 Speaker 5: they think is in or cool to run at the time, 313 00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,040 Speaker 5: they're all going to try to mimix. So that seems 314 00:16:01,080 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 5: like what it is. 315 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just saw first play Colorado. I'm like, I mean, 316 00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:08,760 Speaker 1: Nebraska's in a three man front. I'm like, all they 317 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,240 Speaker 1: gotta really do is just pounds you up the middle. Yeah, 318 00:16:11,240 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 1: but I digress.

As we know, Joe Burrow sign and 345 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,000 Speaker 1: it kind of gets redundant because every time a quarterback 346 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,080 Speaker 1: does sign a contract, this is what we hear or 347 00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 1: a record extension most guaranteed money. Ever, so the next 348 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: quarterback will come along and surpass that. But until that 349 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:03,560 Speaker 1: hap happens, the Bengals like Joe up five years two 350 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,080 Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five million with two one hundred and 351 00:18:07,119 --> 00:18:11,960 Speaker 1: twenty million guaranteed. Great for the Bengals. Many are saying, 352 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: Joe had so much leverage, why didn't you just get 353 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: your contract fully guaranteed? I mean to seventy five and 354 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,639 Speaker 1: they gave you to to Well, what's another fifty million? 355 00:18:23,720 --> 00:18:24,200 Speaker 4: Just get the. 356 00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 1: Whole contract guaranteed, because now you set a precedent for 357 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,800 Speaker 1: everybody else and you had all the leverage. With that 358 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:39,240 Speaker 1: being said, do you like it the fact that he 359 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:42,040 Speaker 1: did have the leverage and he chose not to use 360 00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:46,399 Speaker 1: it or he did say also, I would like the 361 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: guys that I'm playing with to be resigned. We know 362 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 1: they gonna sign Jamar Chase. The question mark is t Higgins. 363 00:18:53,800 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 4: Right, Listen, I'm gonna tell you why he had all 364 00:18:55,280 --> 00:18:57,760 Speaker 4: the leverage in the world because listen to man is 365 00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,000 Speaker 4: one of the best quarterbacks in the world, first and foremost, 366 00:19:00,040 --> 00:19:03,159 Speaker 4: and he's taking an organization and turned around, turn the 367 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,320 Speaker 4: whole organization around, or what the Cincinnati Bengals has been. 368 00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 4: I mean, nless, I ain't throwing no no shade on 369 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:11,919 Speaker 4: you and tej when you was there, but you know 370 00:19:11,960 --> 00:19:14,040 Speaker 4: when y'all shoe come to the Pittsburgh We used to, 371 00:19:14,119 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 4: you know, get in. 372 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 1: Their ass a little bit. 373 00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:23,560 Speaker 4: But oh yeah, yeah. But what I'm gonna say is 374 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:27,480 Speaker 4: that they signed him on off to a five year deal. 375 00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 4: You know what that means. He's going back to the table. 376 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:32,840 Speaker 4: It doesn't matter if it's with the Cincinnati Bangals or 377 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 4: somebody else, because he's still gonna be in his prime. 378 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,520 Speaker 4: Oh so he doesn't have to get the two hundred 379 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 4: and fifty million dollars million dollars guaranteed because he may 380 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:44,359 Speaker 4: be one of those quarterbacks they get too. Back to 381 00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:47,640 Speaker 4: back a two hundred million dollar contray and his gun 382 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:49,200 Speaker 4: contract would be four hundred million. 383 00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,000 Speaker 1: That's where it's gonna be by So. 384 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:54,679 Speaker 4: In five years, Joe Burrow is still gonna be in 385 00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,320 Speaker 4: his prime. So he may not. You know, I think 386 00:19:58,359 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 4: that he's not going anywhere. Cincinnati gonna be there for 387 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,479 Speaker 4: a very long time. But if I was the Cincinnati Bengals, 388 00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 4: I all look at a situation of look look at 389 00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:07,640 Speaker 4: Patrick Mahomes. You know, they gave him a ten year 390 00:20:07,680 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 4: deal and you looking at five years. Man, five years 391 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 4: goes by fast, and we're gonna be sitting down. Remember 392 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,879 Speaker 4: this conversation, Man, I can't believe that those five years 393 00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 4: have passed already for Joe Burrow. So he don't he 394 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,200 Speaker 4: doesn't seem like the kind of person to me to 395 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:28,080 Speaker 4: to really uh you know, be a greedy person. It 396 00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 4: just seems that, you know, he has that kind of 397 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 4: personality about him, and I really believe that he really 398 00:20:33,880 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 4: wants to, uh, you know, get better players, so he 399 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,040 Speaker 4: has a chance to you know, get to win a 400 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,600 Speaker 4: world championship and bring players, uh you know to Cincinnati, 401 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,520 Speaker 4: because I mean, let's be honest, man, Cincinnati hasn't been 402 00:20:46,560 --> 00:20:49,439 Speaker 4: a destination, you know, for free agents to go to. 403 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:52,199 Speaker 4: And now that you have with Jamar Chase, who's on 404 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,000 Speaker 4: T Higgins, Tyler Burr, you're looking at this defense and 405 00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,480 Speaker 4: what these guys are gonna be able to do in 406 00:20:56,480 --> 00:20:58,680 Speaker 4: the future. So now you can get some of those 407 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 4: top tier free agents to join his team. But he 408 00:21:02,840 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 4: doesn't seem like a guybody know what, if I don't 409 00:21:05,960 --> 00:21:08,000 Speaker 4: get the other extra fifty million, I'm not going to 410 00:21:08,080 --> 00:21:11,040 Speaker 4: sign the deal because he knows it's only five years, 411 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 4: and you know what, I don't think he's going to 412 00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,400 Speaker 4: see the five years. I think at the fourth year, 413 00:21:15,480 --> 00:21:17,399 Speaker 4: going into the fifth year. Think he's gonna get to 414 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:18,840 Speaker 4: read up again, so he's gonna be good. 415 00:21:19,119 --> 00:21:20,280 Speaker 6: Yeah. I got a couple of thoughts here. 416 00:21:20,320 --> 00:21:23,640 Speaker 5: I think number one, I was born in the wrong girl, 417 00:21:23,720 --> 00:21:25,919 Speaker 5: I was playing in the wrong era, because you know, 418 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:29,200 Speaker 5: this money they throwing out right now is just it's crazy, astronomical, 419 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 5: And I'm really happy for the players obviously. And I 420 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:34,720 Speaker 5: think number two, Yeah, I think he did. You know, 421 00:21:34,840 --> 00:21:36,520 Speaker 5: he could have he had the leverage, he could have 422 00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:39,639 Speaker 5: taken it all. But again, he's a winner. He's won 423 00:21:39,680 --> 00:21:41,879 Speaker 5: at all levels. I know he wants to win. I 424 00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:43,480 Speaker 5: know he wants to bring in the talent to help 425 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:45,960 Speaker 5: him get over that hump. So I mean I think 426 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 5: a little bit of that with him being you know, 427 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:52,359 Speaker 5: being great to the team and to the players and 428 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:54,960 Speaker 5: being able to give them a situation to pay other 429 00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:56,800 Speaker 5: players along the way as well. And so yeah, I 430 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,199 Speaker 5: mean I think it's a win win all around. Plexico. Right, 431 00:22:00,200 --> 00:22:01,880 Speaker 5: he's going to be at the table again here soon, 432 00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:04,760 Speaker 5: and yeah, he's not gonna be lacking at all. 433 00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 6: He'll be fine. 434 00:22:06,880 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, we all know when you're the quarterback, 435 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,600 Speaker 1: and let's just be honest with one of the top 436 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:17,760 Speaker 1: two quarterbacks in the league. You never gonna have to 437 00:22:17,760 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 1: worry about, Oh, they're gonna give me another deal. 438 00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:20,320 Speaker 4: Oh I'm not. 439 00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: Gonna get what I'm worth. The quarterbacks, for the most part, 440 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: are always going to get that deal. Always. Very rarely 441 00:22:28,800 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 1: do you see a guy have to wait around as 442 00:22:32,520 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 1: long as Lamar Jackson did. That's very rare when you're 443 00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:39,240 Speaker 1: a quarterback. We just don't see that happening because they 444 00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,040 Speaker 1: get their deals. Now, could he have I'm not I 445 00:22:44,040 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: don't want to sign unless it's fully guaranteed. He could 446 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:48,960 Speaker 1: have pressed the issue. But it's what PLAQ said and 447 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: what you said. Also carry these dudes like for what 448 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: my second deal, I'm gonna get it. I'm gonna get 449 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,439 Speaker 1: more than this, probably three sixty four hundred million, because 450 00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:03,639 Speaker 1: the next guy that comes along is going to surpass that. 451 00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:07,280 Speaker 1: When Trevor Lawrence sins is deal, it'll probably be three 452 00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:10,720 Speaker 1: hundred and so forth and so on for the next 453 00:23:10,720 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: guy and the guy after that. And so it's good 454 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,240 Speaker 1: for the Bengals because it's the Bengals have not been 455 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:22,360 Speaker 1: a destination team. I mean, we had a really good 456 00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,560 Speaker 1: season when I was there, didn't finish. It was always 457 00:23:25,600 --> 00:23:29,679 Speaker 1: pretty good offensively, we were good defensively, we weren't good 458 00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:35,080 Speaker 1: enough offensively. The Bengals now have consistently put a good 459 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: team on the field for the last two to three 460 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: years offensively and defensively, on both sides of the ball, 461 00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,359 Speaker 1: and so it gives me no reason not to think 462 00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:47,439 Speaker 1: that won't continue with Joe as a quarterback. Now, I 463 00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:50,119 Speaker 1: believe they need to sign t Higgins. I mean, you 464 00:23:50,280 --> 00:23:54,760 Speaker 1: drafting first pick of the second round, you can't let 465 00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,720 Speaker 1: somebody else now pay him all this money after you've 466 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: developed them and make him a number one. I think 467 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,399 Speaker 1: with him and Jamar they need to stay together because 468 00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 1: they compliment each other so well. You don't resign them. Now, 469 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: you got to go find another guy in the draft 470 00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:15,040 Speaker 1: that you hope can give you the same production. But 471 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:18,240 Speaker 1: all as well in the Queen City and Cincinnati, when 472 00:24:18,960 --> 00:24:23,120 Speaker 1: everybody's concerned about man Joe heard his calf. Oh, man 473 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 1: Joe shouldn't practice until he signs a deal. Oh is 474 00:24:26,160 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 1: Joe gonna play the first game? He hasn't signed it. 475 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: So to have that out of the way is good 476 00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 1: for the Bengals, the Bengals fan, and just the NFL 477 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:39,280 Speaker 1: in general. Oh, before I get going any further. We 478 00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:45,359 Speaker 1: got Isaac lorn crime is low on trending what you got. 479 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,280 Speaker 7: We got a surprise in Columbus right now, because fifth 480 00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:54,919 Speaker 7: ranked Ohio State and Youngstown State tied at seven six 481 00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 7: ozho three left to play in the first quarter. Ohio 482 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:00,399 Speaker 7: State god on the board first on a s one 483 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 7: yard touchdown pass from Kyle McCord to Marvin Harrison Junior, 484 00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:09,399 Speaker 7: but then the Penguins came back, Mitch Davidson scoring on 485 00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 7: a quarterback keeper from one yard out, so the Youngstown 486 00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:16,040 Speaker 7: State Penguins the only Division One school in the nation 487 00:25:16,200 --> 00:25:20,720 Speaker 7: with their nickname. The Penguins tied at Ohio State seven 488 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 7: to seven, six minutes left to play in the first quarter. 489 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,800 Speaker 7: Nebraska and number twenty two Colorado are scoreless with five 490 00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,800 Speaker 7: minutes left to play in the first. Twelfth ranked Utah 491 00:25:31,960 --> 00:25:34,800 Speaker 7: scoreless at Baylor with three minutes left in the first. 492 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 7: Number one Georgia and ball State no score with one 493 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,920 Speaker 7: minute left to play in the first quarter. Seventh ranked 494 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:44,000 Speaker 7: Penn State up seven to nothing over Delaware. Midway through 495 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,520 Speaker 7: the first quarter. Busy day in the NFL, the Washington 496 00:25:47,520 --> 00:25:51,320 Speaker 7: Commanders officially ruling out defensive end Chase Young for tomorrow's 497 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:54,760 Speaker 7: season opener against Arizona because of a neck injury. The 498 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:58,479 Speaker 7: Athletic reports Young could also miss next week's game at Denver. 499 00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:02,560 Speaker 7: NFL media report the New England Patriots signing Bailey Zappi 500 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 7: back to their fifty three man roster from their practice 501 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 7: squad and a releasing quarterback Matt Corrall.

Fellas all yours. 507 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:34,680 Speaker 1: Now, New England, what are they doing? Man? You cut? 508 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Maybe you signed Matt Corrall. Now you cut Mat corral 509 00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,600 Speaker 1: you signed? Man? What are they doing? Man? I get 510 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:43,320 Speaker 1: Bill Chuck you man, you can do a bunch of 511 00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:47,199 Speaker 1: just stupid stuff and nobody calls you out on your 512 00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:50,080 Speaker 1: stupid stuff because you won umpteen Super Bowls. Like I 513 00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't understand. I'm sure I don't. 514 00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:57,160 Speaker 4: Here's the ego issues, man, I think he really has 515 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 4: some ego issues and he makes moves that nobody understands 516 00:27:04,040 --> 00:27:06,959 Speaker 4: and he doesn't didn't really have an answer or justification 517 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:11,800 Speaker 4: for it. And it's almost that arrogance of Listen. I 518 00:27:11,840 --> 00:27:13,919 Speaker 4: can take any quarterback and take and make him a 519 00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:18,000 Speaker 4: Tom Brady and that's not the case. I mean, just 520 00:27:18,080 --> 00:27:20,920 Speaker 4: in fact that just accept the fact that Listen, uh 521 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:24,480 Speaker 4: San Sammy came out and said it first and foremost 522 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,400 Speaker 4: Tom gots those Super Bowl I mean, he was being 523 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,919 Speaker 4: real real about it. And for Bill Billichick manded he 524 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 4: Bailly Zappi. I thought he played well last year when 525 00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 4: he came in a game, when when Mac Jones went out. 526 00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 4: So now you cut him, you're bringing mat Correll. Now 527 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,440 Speaker 4: you cut Mack Correll and you bringing back Zappi. And 528 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:49,800 Speaker 4: it's just, hey man, what are you doing. We don't 529 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,359 Speaker 4: understand anything that you're doing. But it's just that that 530 00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,000 Speaker 4: ego and that arrogance of him saying that, you know, 531 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 4: you know, what if if if if you can make 532 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,160 Speaker 4: a whole, make you another one. 533 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,080 Speaker 1: Hey that's a rhetorical question, Hey man, what are you doing? 534 00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:06,560 Speaker 1: But it's like, really, hey man, what are you doing? 535 00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: Like for real, Like I don't think anybody understands what 536 00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 1: the Patriots and Bill Belichick are doing it. But when 537 00:28:15,080 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 1: you look at what, Asanthi Samuel said, without Brady, and 538 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 1: they say, numbers don't lie. He's average. He's average as 539 00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: a coach. Without Tom Brady, He's average as a coach. 540 00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:31,040 Speaker 1: That's what the numbers say. Let's still in the quarterbacks. 541 00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,440 Speaker 1: Cayleb Williams. He didn't say it, but his father has 542 00:28:37,480 --> 00:28:41,160 Speaker 1: come out and said, you know, it's no guarantee who 543 00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,200 Speaker 1: he answered the draft. He's the presumed number one pick 544 00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:52,040 Speaker 1: of the draft next season. Is there any situation scenario 545 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:55,960 Speaker 1: where you can actually see Kayler Williams at USC next year? 546 00:28:57,480 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 6: I think it is. 547 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 5: I mean, I know, you know, you know, saying this 548 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:04,360 Speaker 5: stuff would be you know, a little smoke back in 549 00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:06,520 Speaker 5: the day. But right now, I really think that with 550 00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 5: the nil deals in college man, especially Caleb being here 551 00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,200 Speaker 5: in USC, I mean he's making like four or five 552 00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 5: million nil deals out this year in college, right So, 553 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 5: I mean, the idea of going to a team that 554 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,280 Speaker 5: you're not going to be in love with or really 555 00:29:21,320 --> 00:29:24,800 Speaker 5: want to play for, you know, you're putting the power 556 00:29:24,840 --> 00:29:27,680 Speaker 5: in these players hands again. And so there's there's a 557 00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:30,160 Speaker 5: possibility that could happen in Arizona against that first pick, 558 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:32,680 Speaker 5: which it kind of looks like it's trend into right now. 559 00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 5: But again I think a lot of times, man, you 560 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:37,640 Speaker 5: got to take that opportunity and get to the league 561 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:40,520 Speaker 5: and go go play. That would be my idea. But yeah, 562 00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:44,240 Speaker 5: I can definitely see him not, you know, not going and. 563 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,960 Speaker 4: You know, and you know what, you know, just like 564 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 4: you said, looking at some of these nil deals, man, 565 00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:55,000 Speaker 4: you know you're looking at it now. Where going to 566 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 4: the NFL and versus staying in college. Some of these 567 00:29:57,840 --> 00:29:59,920 Speaker 4: guys will be taking pay cuts by going to the 568 00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 4: And if it's not Kayler Williams, I'm saying not Kayler Williams, 569 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:06,320 Speaker 4: but you know he has that he has the leverage 570 00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:11,760 Speaker 4: and the poised to make, you know what, I'm cool. 571 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:13,760 Speaker 4: You know, probably the worst two teams in the league 572 00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 4: are probably going to be the Arizona callers in the 573 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:18,080 Speaker 4: Houston Texas where I really want to go to one 574 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,720 Speaker 4: of those two teams. And I'm enjoying myself in college. 575 00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 4: So if I'm making four or five million dollars a 576 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:26,440 Speaker 4: year and I'm what twenty years old, I'm cool. 577 00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:27,240 Speaker 1: I'm not in a. 578 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 4: Rush like we were, or you know, or busting our 579 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 4: tails to get to the NFL and play because we 580 00:30:35,360 --> 00:30:38,800 Speaker 4: all wanted to. But it's a different situation now when 581 00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:40,600 Speaker 4: you're making four or five million dollars at you know, 582 00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 4: twenty twenty one years old, and now you have the 583 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,800 Speaker 4: options of staying in and staying in college football, going 584 00:30:48,840 --> 00:30:51,440 Speaker 4: down as being one of the best quarterbacks ever to 585 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,400 Speaker 4: play the position. Now we're talking about him winning multiple 586 00:30:55,440 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 4: Heisman Trophies and becoming basically a lection in the USC 587 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 4: and football. So I agree with his dad one hundred 588 00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:08,920 Speaker 4: when he came out and said, listen, we're just gonna 589 00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:13,320 Speaker 4: evaluate our situation moving forward, and there's no guarantee that 590 00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 4: this man is going to end the jet and be 591 00:31:15,080 --> 00:31:18,280 Speaker 4: the first pick. So if I'm him, I'm just gonna 592 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,680 Speaker 4: sit back, U see see how the season up folds, 593 00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:26,120 Speaker 4: see what team has the first pick, and then I'll 594 00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,640 Speaker 4: make my decision. Because he doesn't have to come out. 595 00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:30,200 Speaker 4: He can go back and play the other year. 596 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 5: And he's in California Plaques, correct, isn't a great place too, 597 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 5: So yeah, I think he definitely has a chance of staying. 598 00:31:38,480 --> 00:31:43,600 Speaker 1: Just the fact that he has a choice that that's 599 00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: the good thing. He hasn't choice. We didn't have that choice, meaning, 600 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,640 Speaker 1: oh you can make X amount. Now, Cayler Williams is 601 00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,480 Speaker 1: going to be the number one pick, So if he 602 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,440 Speaker 1: does not enter the draft, he is taking a pay cut. 603 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: That's a fact. He's not gonna make the whatever amount 604 00:32:03,880 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: of millions. I think it's gonna be forty million for 605 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:09,040 Speaker 1: the first pick next year, So he for he and 606 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,560 Speaker 1: won't make forty million in nil money. That's a fact. 607 00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 1: So he will be for sure taking a pay cut. 608 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:19,520 Speaker 1: And also, you staid another year in college. That's another 609 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: year it takes you to get to free agency when 610 00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:24,520 Speaker 1: you eventually do go to the league. And so yeah, 611 00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:28,000 Speaker 1: you can put out little threats here in there. That's 612 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 1: what they're doing. It's obvious they don't want to go 613 00:32:32,520 --> 00:32:35,280 Speaker 1: to the Cardinals because I believe. I don't believe the 614 00:32:35,280 --> 00:32:36,720 Speaker 1: Texans are going to be one of the worst teams 615 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:39,160 Speaker 1: in the league. I don't. I believe it's gonna be 616 00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: possibly the Cardinals or the Rams. If Cooper Cup can't play, 617 00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:47,240 Speaker 1: Can y'all give me another receiver on the Rams team? 618 00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: I can because I train a couple of them. But 619 00:32:49,960 --> 00:32:51,360 Speaker 1: y'all I'm That's what I'm saying. 620 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 6: Is too too still there to to two. 621 00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,240 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying, too too barely played? And you 622 00:32:55,280 --> 00:32:57,880 Speaker 1: said too too well because his name is different too too, 623 00:32:58,240 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: like they have Ben Scaronic, Pooka Van Jefferson, like they're 624 00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:09,320 Speaker 1: not household names. Who will Matthew Stafford throw the ball to? 625 00:33:10,320 --> 00:33:13,600 Speaker 1: And so now the Rams get the number one pick. 626 00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: I mentioned the draft before the season is over, like 627 00:33:17,040 --> 00:33:19,320 Speaker 1: those type of things, like, I'm sure he would want 628 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 1: to play with the Rams, but it's no guarantee like 629 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 1: the Cardinals. If the Cardinals get the first pick, can 630 00:33:27,320 --> 00:33:30,600 Speaker 1: they find somebody to trade for Kyler Murray and take 631 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: that contract? You know they gonna draft Kyler Murray. They've 632 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:36,520 Speaker 1: done it before. I mean they had Josh Rosen and 633 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:40,040 Speaker 1: drafted Kyler Murray and so that's not out of the 634 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,360 Speaker 1: realm of possibility. But I think it's just all smoking mirrors. Man, 635 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:47,840 Speaker 1: there's no way he goes back to college. I just 636 00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: don't see it at all. There's just no chance of 637 00:33:51,240 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: him doing that. With that being said, we will be 638 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: taking a break and we will come back and finish 639 00:33:56,160 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: with the first This first hour, man, it goes by 640 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,840 Speaker 1: so fast, so so fast.

We'll get into that game the next hour. 677 00:36:02,480 --> 00:36:06,200 Speaker 1: But Aaron Rodgers said something that piqued my interests and said, 678 00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: we're one of six to twelve teams that could possibly 679 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:12,840 Speaker 1: win the Super Bowl this year. I believe twelve was 680 00:36:12,880 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 1: a bit much. How many true Super Bowl contenders do 681 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:23,800 Speaker 1: you see? And then we'll specifically break this down into 682 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,799 Speaker 1: conference too, how many in the AFC and who in 683 00:36:27,840 --> 00:36:28,560 Speaker 1: the NFC? 684 00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:34,120 Speaker 5: Man, I think it's about I think it's about seven, 685 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,120 Speaker 5: like seven teams that could seven eight teams if they're healthy, 686 00:36:38,200 --> 00:36:40,839 Speaker 5: has a legitimate chance of getting there, if they get 687 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:43,160 Speaker 5: on the hot streak. I mean, I would, off the 688 00:36:43,160 --> 00:36:48,920 Speaker 5: top of my head say obviously Cincinnati, Kansas City, Baltimore 689 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:58,640 Speaker 5: of their healthy Dallas, I say, Philly, Buffalo. 690 00:37:00,520 --> 00:37:02,280 Speaker 6: Who is that? That's that's that's six? 691 00:37:02,640 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 5: Uh man, I'll probably look and the Jets, So I 692 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,439 Speaker 5: would say like seven, I would say seven to eight. 693 00:37:08,560 --> 00:37:10,520 Speaker 5: I think that I think those teams have a legit chance. 694 00:37:10,560 --> 00:37:14,120 Speaker 5: I mean, obviously they all have issues, and I think 695 00:37:14,280 --> 00:37:16,239 Speaker 5: you could see that from day one, right, Kansas City 696 00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 5: has issues now, right, we you know, we think about 697 00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:21,920 Speaker 5: how they've been able to mask a lot of their 698 00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:25,080 Speaker 5: stuff with Patrick mahomes and and Kelsey being a dynamic duo, 699 00:37:25,239 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 5: but with them not being with Kelsey not being there, 700 00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,440 Speaker 5: you see their receiving corps lacking, right, So they need 701 00:37:30,480 --> 00:37:31,120 Speaker 5: receiving help. 702 00:37:31,160 --> 00:37:34,680 Speaker 6: I think, you know, what I mean. So there there 703 00:37:34,680 --> 00:37:35,960 Speaker 6: are there are questions for all. 704 00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,640 Speaker 5: I mean, the Jets obviously have offensive line issues possibly, 705 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,680 Speaker 5: but we'll see once the once the season starts. So 706 00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:43,600 Speaker 5: there's there's a lot of a lot of things that 707 00:37:43,920 --> 00:37:45,800 Speaker 5: are out there that can keep a team from winning. 708 00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:48,239 Speaker 5: But you know, teams that have a chance, I think 709 00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:48,920 Speaker 5: they're seven to eight. 710 00:37:51,120 --> 00:37:55,400 Speaker 4: Oh man, you just never know what's gonna happen, dude, 711 00:37:55,920 --> 00:38:01,080 Speaker 4: you just we can we go into these seasons and speculating. 712 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:03,640 Speaker 4: And I came out and said I thought Kansas City 713 00:38:03,640 --> 00:38:05,440 Speaker 4: had the best chance to run it back since the 714 00:38:06,200 --> 00:38:09,479 Speaker 4: since O two o three New England Patriots. I turned 715 00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 4: on the TV on Wednesday or Thursday and Travis Kelton 716 00:38:12,160 --> 00:38:16,800 Speaker 4: and Hype extended a need. But that's the nature of 717 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:19,839 Speaker 4: the business man's nature of the beasts, and you just 718 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,920 Speaker 4: you just never know who's gonna come out on top. Man, 719 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 4: I think you know everybody's nobody's really talking about Baltimore, 720 00:38:27,360 --> 00:38:29,680 Speaker 4: and I think they're the X factor in the a 721 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,879 Speaker 4: f C. Because you're talking about this defense man adding 722 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,719 Speaker 4: to Daveon Clowney. Now now with OBJ and you know, 723 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,560 Speaker 4: a new and improved offense for Lamar Jackson, I think 724 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,200 Speaker 4: the biggest thing for Baltimore in the a f C 725 00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:52,080 Speaker 4: is that if Lamar can improved his passing and his accuracy, 726 00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 4: and if he can get to the point to where 727 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 4: he's comfortable in the pocket and just you know, complete 728 00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:03,600 Speaker 4: and you know, seventy five eighty percent of his passes, 729 00:39:04,200 --> 00:39:07,000 Speaker 4: it makes him that much more of a dangerous quarterback. 730 00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:12,480 Speaker 1: Man if he completing eighty, if he can. 731 00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:16,560 Speaker 4: Get to the seventy seventy five percent mark, it just 732 00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,520 Speaker 4: makes them extremely dangerous because what do you do against him, 733 00:39:19,640 --> 00:39:23,200 Speaker 4: you know, defensively. But I just like Baltimore, I think 734 00:39:23,239 --> 00:39:25,000 Speaker 4: I think the AFC NORF is gonna be the toughest 735 00:39:25,040 --> 00:39:27,400 Speaker 4: division in football because I think anybody can win that 736 00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:31,040 Speaker 4: division right now. And uh, it's gonna be interesting. 737 00:39:31,320 --> 00:39:34,279 Speaker 5: You think anybody. You think Cleveland and and uh you 738 00:39:34,280 --> 00:39:35,160 Speaker 5: think Cleveland as well. 739 00:39:35,480 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I really do, especially you know, run the 740 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:41,960 Speaker 4: game and the defense and mouth gear. They still have 741 00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:43,840 Speaker 4: one of the best officer lines and all the football. 742 00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,719 Speaker 4: And you know, if Dson can get back to the 743 00:39:47,080 --> 00:39:49,480 Speaker 4: being that elite quarterback that we've seen, you know, a 744 00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 4: few years ago, absolutely have a chance to win the division. 745 00:39:52,600 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 4: So that's why I say the AFC, NORF is up 746 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,760 Speaker 4: for grabs because it's gonna be one of those games 747 00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:03,160 Speaker 4: where it's gonna be one loss is going to knock 748 00:40:03,920 --> 00:40:07,120 Speaker 4: top tier team out of the playoffs in the AFC, 749 00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,560 Speaker 4: because I believe the whole conference is going to be 750 00:40:09,600 --> 00:40:13,200 Speaker 4: that competitive. It may be a situation where, you know, 751 00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:14,960 Speaker 4: team you can go eleven and six, you can go 752 00:40:14,960 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 4: ten and seven, and they ain't make the playoffs because 753 00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:19,359 Speaker 4: I think the teams in the AFC are that good. 754 00:40:19,920 --> 00:40:22,040 Speaker 4: But you know, just piggyback and all what Kerry said, 755 00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,160 Speaker 4: all of those teams, I think Dallas is gonna have 756 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 4: more the top defensi in the league I'm looking for. 757 00:40:29,840 --> 00:40:32,799 Speaker 4: I think Buffalo's flying under the radar because everybody's talking 758 00:40:32,840 --> 00:40:35,880 Speaker 4: to New York and Jets and Chiefs and Chargers and 759 00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,360 Speaker 4: kind of just and Cincinnati Bangals and put them on 760 00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:40,120 Speaker 4: the back burner because they end up losing in the 761 00:40:40,120 --> 00:40:44,520 Speaker 4: playoffs game to the Bangals last year. But you just 762 00:40:44,560 --> 00:40:46,440 Speaker 4: really don't know, man, So I just can't wait to 763 00:40:46,440 --> 00:40:47,560 Speaker 4: see how the season plays out. 764 00:40:48,200 --> 00:40:53,160 Speaker 1: This is why the NFL is the best basket game, 765 00:40:53,280 --> 00:40:55,279 Speaker 1: not the NFL, just why football is the best game 766 00:40:55,400 --> 00:41:00,120 Speaker 1: because it's so much parody. You just don't know. But 767 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:04,000 Speaker 1: I'm gonna put my hat on and say, it's so 768 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:08,880 Speaker 1: many teams in the AFC. We go Bengals, Ravens, Chiefs, 769 00:41:09,239 --> 00:41:15,319 Speaker 1: even though they lost, I'm not concerned. Once Kelsey gets back, Bills, Jets, Dolphins, 770 00:41:16,120 --> 00:41:19,640 Speaker 1: Chargers to me and the AFC, those teams can win. 771 00:41:20,200 --> 00:41:25,560 Speaker 1: When you go to the NFC, will you'd say the Eagles, 772 00:41:25,640 --> 00:41:31,239 Speaker 1: the Niners, the Cowboys. I'm actually I'm not. I'm very 773 00:41:31,360 --> 00:41:34,320 Speaker 1: very optimistic. The Giant's gonna do work this year. I 774 00:41:34,520 --> 00:41:38,759 Speaker 1: just think so highly of Brian Dable. The Saints will 775 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:43,560 Speaker 1: be a dark horse team in my opinion. With Car 776 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:47,040 Speaker 1: it's just so much parody in the league. You just 777 00:41:47,160 --> 00:41:52,680 Speaker 1: don't know. You injuries, who look what happened in Kansas City, 778 00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:56,640 Speaker 1: Like literally it looked like they needed me in plaques 779 00:41:56,640 --> 00:41:59,560 Speaker 1: out there, and we old like they receivers could not 780 00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,320 Speaker 1: catch the ball. And so now it's like Patrick Mahomes 781 00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:06,960 Speaker 1: looked a little mortal is I thought he could make 782 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: everybody better. You gotta be able to catch it. And 783 00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,359 Speaker 1: so this is why football is a ultimate team game. 784 00:42:12,320 --> 00:42:14,919 Speaker 1: You need all eleven guys doing their job, because when 785 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: one guy isn't that's what you get. And so I 786 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:24,080 Speaker 1: would say this year probably eight teams that I could 787 00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:28,640 Speaker 1: see winning it. The NFC, at least on paper, doesn't 788 00:42:28,680 --> 00:42:32,080 Speaker 1: look as competitive as the AFC, but games aren't played 789 00:42:32,120 --> 00:42:35,960 Speaker 1: on paper, and so that's why we play. The games 790 00:42:36,000 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 1: will be interesting. We kick off a full slate of 791 00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:43,080 Speaker 1: games tomorrow. We'll kick off the second hour after this break. 792 00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,720 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio up on game Carrie Rose, Plaxico Bears, 793 00:42:46,719 --> 00:42:47,880 Speaker 1: TJ houshman Zada
