Speaker 1: whether it was the awful home plate umpiring Yeah, he's terrible,

12

Speaker 1: Padres and the Cubs fired, the drama of the Yankees

00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:55,960
Speaker 1: win where they've found their new Jeter and new Andy Pettitt,

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:00,720
Speaker 1: and then we have whatever that was on Thursday night

15
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: where the forty nine Ers upset the Rams twenty six

16
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,560
Speaker 1: twenty three in overtime, a game that the Rams were

17
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440
Speaker 1: just not gonna be happy until they gave it to

18
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:14,760
Speaker 1: San Francisco. No, no, no, we're gonna give We're gonna

19
00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: give it to, We're gonna keep give We're gonna keep

20
00:01:16,200 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: giving it to. They gave them this game. They not

21
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 1: to be They did claw back from a fourteen nothing

22
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 1: deficits should have never even fourteen seven should have never

23
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,560
Speaker 1: been fourteen Why because they they came out and they

24
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:33,160
Speaker 1: played very well. Off are better everywhere, but they weren't

25
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 1: for a half Gon put right exactly. They're better everywhere

26
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 1: than the forty nine ers are. This game shouldn't have

27
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:42,280
Speaker 1: even been close any given Sunday, baby, were you not watching?

28
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: Remember the Titans celebrating the anniversary this week? You know

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,200
Speaker 1: I disagree with this strong side because today's Thursday left side,

30
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,280
Speaker 1: wrong side might as well be Sunday today. This is

31
00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 1: an embarrassing result for the NK. They were a three

32
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: and one team and they had a lot of heart

33
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:01,560
Speaker 1: and knowledge in Shanahan, and you got mac Jones.

34
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 2: Baby.

35
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: Kendrick Bourne on thurs is right. He looked he found

36
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,280
Speaker 1: his identity. He looked like rand He looked like Randy

37
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: Moss in his supremacy. Nicely well played, but yeah, I

38
00:02:15,960 --> 00:02:19,600
Speaker 1: mean you still had Christian McCaffrey. He was still flying around.

39
00:02:19,880 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: Doesn't matter. This should have been a The Rams should

40
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 1: have won this game by by twenty points. That's how

41
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 1: much better they are than the foot. I mean the

42
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,239
Speaker 1: spread was only eight and a half. That's still have

43
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: one by twenty. But no Jennings, no Kittle, Nobody, no Rice,

44
00:02:35,639 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: no Tailor, no Peerson, No Brent Jones, Brent Jones my

45
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,720
Speaker 1: friend from when he and Jerry Jones and I scouted

46
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,800
Speaker 1: the East West Shrine game practice when Tom Brady was

47
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: still in school. No Ricky Piersoll, No Jimmy Piersall, No

48
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 1: Preston Pearson, no Drew Pearson. No what is that? Fear

49
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: strikes out right in the basis. Yeah, for a White

50
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:05,000
Speaker 1: Sox broadcaster. You want a great, big, hot take coming

51
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: off of this game, Oh please, I got one for you.

52
00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: Come out hit it. Uh And it's great news for

53
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:16,560
Speaker 1: the forty nine ers, great news to a point. Tonight

54
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: the game belonged to mac Jones thirty three out of

55
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:25,880
Speaker 1: forty nine, three hundred and forty two yards, passing two touchdowns,

56
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 1: the game winning drive for a field goal. This was

57
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: the kind of night that mac Jones had.

58
00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 3: McCaffrey ships out from under center. Mac Jones takes petty coals.

59
00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:39,760
Speaker 1: It's a touchdown, touchdown forty nine ers on the opening

60
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:40,480
Speaker 1: drive of the game.

61
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 3: A couple of penalties and they can't be stopped.

62
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 1: Did he mean for his voice to go up and

63
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:49,600
Speaker 1: crack like that? They can't be stopped the forty nine ers. Oh,

64
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:51,720
Speaker 1: they were a juggernaut, or at least they still finish

65
00:03:51,800 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: with four hundred and seven total yards. They cannot be stopped.

66
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: Mac Jones, this is the best game I have ever

67
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,640
Speaker 1: seen him play. He was decisive with the football, He

68
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:08,840
Speaker 1: stayed in, he took big hits. He played with no

69
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 1: weapons to throw the football too. He's still liked Christian McCaffrey,

70
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,000
Speaker 1: but no wide weapon. I mean, look, Kendrick Bord is

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,400
Speaker 1: a guy. Okay, here he is out. He pops up

72
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 1: every once in a while. I see managers right now

73
00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:20,320
Speaker 1: are going, Oh, I'm so glad. I picked him up

74
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: in one of my dad and you picked him up.

75
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:25,560
Speaker 1: You got your ten for eleven targets, ten of eleven

76
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:30,719
Speaker 1: and an incredible game by him. But Matt Jones, this

77
00:04:30,839 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 1: is his third big game that he has had to

78
00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:39,760
Speaker 1: play so far for brock Purty. Six touchdowns, one interception,

79
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 1: quarterback rating over one hundred. Yes, he beat the Saints

80
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:47,120
Speaker 1: the first time. Okay, beat the Arizona Cardos a little

81
00:04:47,160 --> 00:04:50,320
Speaker 1: bit better. Now you beat a really good defense, one

82
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:53,679
Speaker 1: of the top three defense in the NFL with no weapons.

83
00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: Short week, without your top weapons. They showed the graphic.

84
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: You're gonna love this. So fourth forty nine er quarterback

85
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 1: to win his first three starts, Montana Young No, Alex Smith, No,

86
00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:13,960
Speaker 1: m all right, did I get Montana Young?

87
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:14,359
Speaker 4: Right? No?

88
00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: You got ye a tittle? Oh, little Jimmy g I

89
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: remember whye tittle I had him in Fantasy that year,

90
00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,839
Speaker 1: A new boy, new offense with a forty nine title.

91
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:28,040
Speaker 1: Ight tittle, Jimmy g Oh, Jimmy g Yeah, Urty okay,

92
00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:30,599
Speaker 1: and now Matt Joe back Johnson. Well, it's funny you

93
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: mentioned Brock Purty, right, because here's this is the big

94
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: hot take. Tonight is a great night for Kyle, A

95
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,640
Speaker 1: great night for the forty nine ers. We had a

96
00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 1: great night, eat night. They improved a four and one. Yeah,

97
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: great night for Kyle Shanahan because look, I've told you

98
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:46,440
Speaker 1: how great a coach he is for a long time.

99
00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:48,679
Speaker 1: I don't get the Kyle Shanahan haters, but he's proven

100
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:52,560
Speaker 1: again tonight what a great offensive mind he is. He

101
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 1: is shown once again that he can pick and choose

102
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:58,840
Speaker 1: anybody to come in and play quarterback for the forty

103
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: nine ers and then they're pretty good. Okay, great night

104
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,640
Speaker 1: for mac Jones. He is restarting his NFL career, right,

105
00:06:05,720 --> 00:06:08,000
Speaker 1: no matter what happens after this year, and you know,

106
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:10,920
Speaker 1: brock perty getting that big contract. Hey mac Jones, Hey,

107
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,920
Speaker 1: maybe mac Jones is the next Sam Darnold or Geno Smith, right,

108
00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:16,279
Speaker 1: thinking mac Jones can get donalded now at some point

109
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:18,359
Speaker 1: because of the way he's played well, because remember he

110
00:06:18,480 --> 00:06:21,159
Speaker 1: was three years in New England where he had a

111
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,800
Speaker 1: great first year and then they just started Bill bellichitting

112
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,120
Speaker 1: the wheel. Bill Belichick decided a tank coming in. I'm

113
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: gonna have my DCB the OC, I'm gonna draft players nobody,

114
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,880
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna leave this cupboard so incredibly bare for

115
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:35,920
Speaker 1: the next coach to come in. You're not gonna win.

116
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: And then he was okay, but wasn't gonna be the

117
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: guy in Jacksonville. Everybody was pot committed to Trevor Lawrence.

118
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: So now as a member of the forty nine ers,

119
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: here we are, like we have said, and we said

120
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 1: this all week, there is a system for everyone, right,

121
00:06:49,080 --> 00:06:52,000
Speaker 1: There's a system for every quarterback in the NFL. You

122
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 1: just have to find it now Mac Jones in a

123
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 1: very quarterback friendly system. But here's your hot take. They

124
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:01,120
Speaker 1: didn't need to pay brock Party. Did not need to

125
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: pay brock Party because this shows you that, hey, not

126
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:07,960
Speaker 1: that brock Purty hasn't played well, because he has. Right,

127
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,280
Speaker 1: the guy's been to a Super Bowl. But go back

128
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,240
Speaker 1: to when Kyle Shanahan took over. Let's go get Jimmy Garoppolo.

129
00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 1: Jimmy Garoppolo came in, played really well, right. Garoppolo came

130
00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,280
Speaker 1: and went to an NFC championship game, went to a

131
00:07:19,320 --> 00:07:24,040
Speaker 1: Super Bowl. Right, Jimmy Garoppolo has played pretty well, all right, Garoppolo.

132
00:07:24,200 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: You draft Trey Lance. If Trey Lance been able to

133
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: stay on the field, Trey Lance would have been fine

134
00:07:28,520 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 1: in this offense. But he couldn't stay on the field.

135
00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,920
Speaker 1: That was That's not a forty nine ers thing. This

136
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,120
Speaker 1: was They wanted to sit and watch his first year.

137
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: Then they gave him the job. He got hurt, he

138
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,000
Speaker 1: missed the whole season. Brock Purty comes in, Trey Lance

139
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: gets hurt again. Okay, but brock Purty comes in and

140
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:45,760
Speaker 1: he's mister irrelevant and he turns out to be able

141
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,360
Speaker 1: to run this team. Is brock Purty really that we

142
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:50,200
Speaker 1: talked about this for years. It's why I have no

143
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:53,240
Speaker 1: problem saying this, was brock Purty really that good? Or

144
00:07:53,280 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: is this an offensive system that you can put a

145
00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,560
Speaker 1: lot of guys in a quarterback and they can succeed?

146
00:07:57,640 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: All right? Not that brock Purty didn't play well, not

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: that he didn't deserve his contract, But you're trying to

148
00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:05,240
Speaker 1: build a super Bowl winning team and now you have

149
00:08:05,320 --> 00:08:07,800
Speaker 1: Mac Jones in here who has shown you that I

150
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 1: can give you the same kind of production as brock Purty,

151
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 1: maybe even better because I'm doing with less weapons than

152
00:08:13,960 --> 00:08:16,360
Speaker 1: brock Purty did it with. When brock Purty came in,

153
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,400
Speaker 1: he had Kittle in his prime and Deebo in his

154
00:08:19,520 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 1: prime and Brandon Ayuk and they make the move for

155
00:08:22,080 --> 00:08:25,760
Speaker 1: Christian McCaffrey. Okay, you got great weapons everywhere. Man. This

156
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: year has been hey man, no Ayuk. You know Deebo

157
00:08:29,680 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: no Deebo. Kittle's been out make it work, and Mac

158
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,240
Speaker 1: Jones has made it work. The pedigree that he has

159
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:38,599
Speaker 1: had coming from being a first round pick out of

160
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: Alabama is showing itself right now. You did not need

161
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:43,880
Speaker 1: to pay brock Purty. You did not need to give

162
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: him this money. And you're looking at a situation now

163
00:08:46,520 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: where man had we just kind of gained the quarterback

164
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,200
Speaker 1: situation a little bit if we understood, hey, other guys

165
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:56,000
Speaker 1: can we can make it work? How much better would

166
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:57,840
Speaker 1: it have been for the Niners to be looking at

167
00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: a future the next years as well? We got but

168
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 1: Matt Jones in here for a couple of years and

169
00:09:01,920 --> 00:09:04,920
Speaker 1: twenty million dollars, not brock Party for the next five

170
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:07,720
Speaker 1: to six years. At two hundred and sixty million dollars,

171
00:09:07,880 --> 00:09:09,679
Speaker 1: we have a lot more money to go out there

172
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:11,800
Speaker 1: and get other players to shore up our defense, to

173
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:14,600
Speaker 1: get more playmakers in because we're gonna need more playmakers

174
00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:16,959
Speaker 1: as these guys wind up following that finding their way

175
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 1: out of the league. Right, we can go get a

176
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 1: tight end, we can go get somebody. We're gonna need

177
00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: these kinds of things. The Niners have an incredible offensive

178
00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: system that they can make it work with just about

179
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,599
Speaker 1: any quarterback that they picked that they know is the

180
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,760
Speaker 1: right fit. So now I look back and go, what

181
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:34,520
Speaker 1: really did you need the Brocolipse. Did you need to

182
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,800
Speaker 1: pay brock Party? You did not. You could have made

183
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,720
Speaker 1: this work with Mac Jones, because I trust Kyle Shanahan

184
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: and everything he wants to do offensively going forward. You

185
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:44,440
Speaker 1: could have made it work. And what kind of situation

186
00:09:44,520 --> 00:09:47,600
Speaker 1: would you be in, knowing what you need to make

187
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: your offensive system work. If you've got a quarterback that

188
00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:52,800
Speaker 1: you're saying, yeah, this guy's gonna work for ten to

189
00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,920
Speaker 1: fifteen million dollars a year, not even that for the

190
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: next couple of years, versus the guy that yeah, you're

191
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: getting the same production, but you're paying him fifty million

192
00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,440
Speaker 1: dollar dollars a year. Brock Party didn't need to get

193
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:04,520
Speaker 1: that money. They could have done a lot of things.

194
00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:07,120
Speaker 1: You talked about franchising in this year and maybe, hey,

195
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: you make that decision after this year. Oh okay, Well

196
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:12,680
Speaker 1: if we franchise Brock Party for this year, okay that

197
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: you're still paying him this year, but after this year, hey,

198
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 1: we can make this work with mac Jones. Brock good

199
00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:20,440
Speaker 1: luck and free agency, and we're paying mac Jones a

200
00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:23,320
Speaker 1: fraction of that kind of money and we build our

201
00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:27,199
Speaker 1: roster even better. Plus side, looking for forty nine ers

202
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,760
Speaker 1: looking into the contract a little bit more, only making

203
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 1: nine million against the cap this year, Okay, twenty four

204
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:40,680
Speaker 1: to seven next year, thirty in twenty twenty seven, and

205
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:43,640
Speaker 1: then it leaps to fifty seven twenty twenty nine is

206
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: where you absolutely get murdered because it's seventy two and

207
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,120
Speaker 1: a half but one hundred and eighty one million guaranteed.

208
00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 1: And as we know, you can always play with money

209
00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: in the NFL and have some fun with its salary

210
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:57,079
Speaker 1: cap will keep going up, so we'll be a lesser

211
00:10:57,160 --> 00:11:00,920
Speaker 1: percentage if he's still with you, if you haven't negotiated

212
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 1: some sort of settlement, buy out, et cetera for this year.

213
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:07,079
Speaker 1: I mean mac Jones on a two year deal. Seven

214
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 1: million dollars is all he's on for this year and

215
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 1: next and for even next year dollar cost averaging, that's

216
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: enoughing for your quarterback position. It's those years hence where

217
00:11:18,679 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: it starts to get a bit dicey. And to your point,

218
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,319
Speaker 1: if you've found another option in mac Jones that can

219
00:11:25,360 --> 00:11:30,200
Speaker 1: give you the same or better that you know eventually

220
00:11:30,400 --> 00:11:32,320
Speaker 1: you've got to pay the piper. For this year, they're

221
00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:35,800
Speaker 1: actually in pretty good shape. They they've sloughed off a

222
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: number of those high priced players against the cap, but

223
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,880
Speaker 1: they're gonna need to keep doing that. Right, Well, we

224
00:11:41,960 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: watched it where they didn't bring Deebo back, and they'll

225
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:49,640
Speaker 1: have to make some decisions. Trent Williams getting older, George

226
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: Kittle getting older, guys that are that are more expensive.

227
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 1: You will have to make those hard decisions here in

228
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: this coming off season. But short term, yeah, there's gonna

229
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: be a lot of handwringing with Mac Jones playing as

230
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:05,720
Speaker 1: well as he did, especially this week when it started

231
00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:08,600
Speaker 1: becoming well, because it's a short week, you're not gonna

232
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:12,160
Speaker 1: rush brock Purty back. Could he have played maybe? Maybe not.

233
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,920
Speaker 1: Now you're like, damn right, I'm back for next week.

234
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:18,320
Speaker 1: I'm sitting down long week. I'll be ready for Week

235
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: six against Tampa. Matt Jones is out partying brock Purty.

236
00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: He's out purtying him. You're getting out partied. We got

237
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: to figure out something that's you know, he's got he's

238
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,160
Speaker 1: out purty him. You're out getting out pretty. It's a

239
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: new Brocolypse party. Mah perdy Man's I mean, really you went,

240
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: you went full Batman and Prince soundtrack. There you go.

241
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:48,320
Speaker 1: It's it's it's not the case of second guessing. All well, clearly,

242
00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: if we knew Mac Jones. You have to know, Kyle Shanahan.

243
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: He's made it work with all of these guys, right,

244
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,680
Speaker 1: so with Brock Purty and it became a thing, and

245
00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: they were wringing their hands his Brock Purty stuff, right

246
00:12:59,240 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: because they waited. They wait well, because he's also a

247
00:13:01,559 --> 00:13:04,960
Speaker 1: cult hero, drafted, mister irrelevant. All of that. You get

248
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: a lot of good will off of that, right, and

249
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,560
Speaker 1: it's good will, But eventually it's about winning football games.

250
00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 1: And you had Purty for his contract in which you

251
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: weren't paying him, and you couldn't win the Super Bowl.

252
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: You got there, right, you got close. How do you

253
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:19,840
Speaker 1: keep that window open? You have to know, and Kyle

254
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: Shanahan's got to know if you if you made it

255
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 1: work with a guy that was mister irrelevant, Okay, there's

256
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:27,360
Speaker 1: other guys out there that can come in that you

257
00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:29,120
Speaker 1: can make it work with. And it's not that you

258
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:32,040
Speaker 1: had just suddenly kick brought Perty to the curb. But okay, hey, Brock,

259
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,280
Speaker 1: we're gonna franchise you this year. Mac Jones coming. You

260
00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: want to push this out because the minute you get

261
00:13:37,240 --> 00:13:40,160
Speaker 1: locked into a quarterback like that, that cuts your window

262
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 1: to win the Super Bowl. That cuts it in half

263
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 1: because you're paying all this money to a quarterback when

264
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: you need other you need other things to changes the window.

265
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: It also depends on where where you're at in your

266
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:52,640
Speaker 1: life cycle of the rest of your roster. And for

267
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: San Francisco, the NOD last year and certainly the note

268
00:13:56,280 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 1: coming into this year is that you've got a lot

269
00:13:58,600 --> 00:14:03,280
Speaker 1: of these aging parts at key contributors, right that, at

270
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:07,520
Speaker 1: key positions. Again, owing back to where Trent Williams is

271
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,560
Speaker 1: in his football timeline, I mean they may look back

272
00:14:10,559 --> 00:14:12,600
Speaker 1: at this and go, hey, well we're lucky we got

273
00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:15,640
Speaker 1: another guy and perty comes back. But mac Jones, I mean,

274
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,000
Speaker 1: he looks really comfortable in this offense. He looks really good.

275
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: He this again, this is the best I have seen

276
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: him look in the NFL. He had a good rookie year,

277
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 1: but clearly he had the shackles on him a bit

278
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:29,200
Speaker 1: with the Belichicks. And we're not gonna remember the one

279
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:31,360
Speaker 1: game he had where we threw the ball three times.

280
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 1: We're just gonna run the ball every single pack fall

281
00:14:33,800 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: A good strategy though, because it worked. But it's but again,

282
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 1: but it's not like mac Jones was. So he didn't

283
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,200
Speaker 1: come in and lead like Dan Marino. You know, look

284
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: at this, he's just throwing the ball all over the field.

285
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 1: I have seen him play. Oh, Dan Marino is gonna

286
00:14:47,160 --> 00:14:51,080
Speaker 1: come kick your ass. He's gonna got my gloves. I'm

287
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:51,640
Speaker 1: ready for you.

288
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 2: Man.

289
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:54,560
Speaker 1: He's gonna use isotonas to not leave marks on your face.

290
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 1: That's what he's gonna hurt and leave no mark. Nine

291
00:15:00,280 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 1: may come to rue that decision to pay brock party.

292
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: Seeing what you know, and you gotta know this is

293
00:15:06,800 --> 00:15:08,360
Speaker 1: these are the guys who can do things like this

294
00:15:08,400 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 1: in our quarterbacks, but also just the larger point, as

295
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: we've talked about this week and many weeks before, about

296
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:21,240
Speaker 1: finding your system, getting that next chance, keeping keeping things alive,

297
00:15:21,280 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 1: and this is, you know, not just football related, but

298
00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:27,840
Speaker 1: just in life that you find your spot. But certainly

299
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:33,160
Speaker 1: for Mac Jones, this guy being written off right Patriots

300
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,560
Speaker 1: to the Jaguars, Like, ah, he's just a guy, Like

301
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 1: maybe he's not. Maybe it's all about where you end up,

302
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:43,800
Speaker 1: right system, right time and place, and keep taking your

303
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:47,520
Speaker 1: throwing your punches, exit out about a fresca, exit swollen

304
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 1: down the Jason Smith Show with my best friend Mike Harmon.

305
00:15:51,160 --> 00:15:57,840
Speaker 1: Just add Matt Jones out purtying brock Purty. Coming up next,

306
00:15:57,880 --> 00:16:01,120

00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: getting drunk with his dad after the Tigers won allegedly

338
00:17:41,880 --> 00:17:44,040
Speaker 1: allegedly I mean, I mean the Tigers did win. I

339
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:47,560
Speaker 1: mean the other part. MLB Network Insider Extraordinaire on Twitter

340
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 1: at John Morosi. It is John Paul Morosi. What's happening, man?

341
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 1: How are you? Bud?

342
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 4: Not a drop? My friend? I was. I was not

343
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 4: even on assignments in Cleveland, so I can't even claim

344
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:06,760
Speaker 4: to have just absorbed the general alcohol content of the

345
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 4: champagne celebration in the clubhouse there in Cleveland. So there

346
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 4: is a very distinctive. You've ever covered one of those

347
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:22,160
Speaker 4: champagne celebrations, it has a The humid intensity of air

348
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,360
Speaker 4: filled with champagne bubbles is really pungent, and I'm sure

349
00:18:26,400 --> 00:18:30,040
Speaker 4: I'll experience that later on this month. There was actually

350
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 4: one time when I was covering a champagne celebration and

351
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:37,000
Speaker 4: the producer kept sending me back into the clubhouse and

352
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 4: I wasn't even actually sure if any of the interviews

353
00:18:40,400 --> 00:18:42,760
Speaker 4: were airing. I just thought they were having fun with me.

354
00:18:44,080 --> 00:18:48,639
Speaker 4: And then I basically emerged from the clubhouse drenched with

355
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:52,040
Speaker 4: champagne and was delicately told that I would be riding

356
00:18:52,119 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 4: by myself to the airport because yeah, no one else

357
00:18:55,960 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 4: really wanted to hang out with me at that point

358
00:18:58,280 --> 00:18:58,520
Speaker 4: in time.

359
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:01,919
Speaker 1: Up this guy, he's Blast and he tells me he's

360
00:19:01,960 --> 00:19:06,160
Speaker 1: been working all night. He just like, yeah, you're at alcohol.

361
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:09,200
Speaker 4: That's the thing is. So I went. It was in Chicago.

362
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:14,840
Speaker 4: I went straight from Wrigley to O'Hare and my flight

363
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:17,879
Speaker 4: and I remember boarding the boarding the aircraft and people

364
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 4: looking at me like, man, like, it's it's now seven

365
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:25,320
Speaker 4: o'clock in the evening. Were you have you been out

366
00:19:25,359 --> 00:19:28,160
Speaker 4: on Rush Street since last night? I mean, what where

367
00:19:28,240 --> 00:19:31,480
Speaker 4: where are we at here? So at least gave me

368
00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 4: a good storty.

369
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,000
Speaker 1: Wait, wait a minute, So you took a car or

370
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: did you take the blue line?

371
00:19:36,720 --> 00:19:37,360
Speaker 4: I took a.

372
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: Car at the blue line would have been interesting.

373
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:44,240
Speaker 4: You would have gone viralight, not the blue line that time.

374
00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 4: There may have been a time that I was on

375
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:48,199
Speaker 4: the blue line in similar in similar stead, but that

376
00:19:48,359 --> 00:19:49,800
Speaker 4: was not that particular ocasion.

377
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,360
Speaker 1: All right. So speaking of Champagne celebrations, and here, I've

378
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: already accepted this, John Paul, after seeing Ryan McMahon make

379
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,080
Speaker 1: the new Jeter play Cams Letler turned into the new

380
00:20:01,119 --> 00:20:03,600
Speaker 1: Andy Pettitt. The Yankees are going to win the World Series.

381
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,119
Speaker 1: They're a team I've already I've already come to accept

382
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: that team of destiny. The win tonight. They're gonna win

383
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,600
Speaker 1: the World Series. That got everything they need. It's twenty

384
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:12,719
Speaker 1: years ago. The dynasty is now going to be reborn.

385
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 4: Well, let's let's slow down a little bit. That they

386
00:20:16,600 --> 00:20:19,360
Speaker 4: stuff to face a Toronto Blue Jays team, which, by

387
00:20:19,400 --> 00:20:21,840
Speaker 4: the way, has their own version of Cam Schlitzler in

388
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 4: Treyy Savage, who I've been arguing, uh for days should

389
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:29,280
Speaker 4: definitely get a start, and there are some people questioning, well,

390
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:31,439
Speaker 4: do you want to put a kid out there? I

391
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 4: don't know. Slilla looked pretty good. He's you know, he's

392
00:20:34,160 --> 00:20:36,439
Speaker 4: a he's a rookie, and he looked all right. So

393
00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,919
Speaker 4: I think that there's a there. Sometimes is in the

394
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,560
Speaker 4: postseason a bit of an over reliance on experience, and

395
00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:49,320
Speaker 4: Cam Schlitzler tonight showed the entire baseball world the value

396
00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 4: of stuff. Moxie Velo I thought in his postgame interview

397
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,399
Speaker 4: with Bus Rolney was really interesting. He was kind of

398
00:20:55,480 --> 00:20:58,160
Speaker 4: hinting at maybe just different things he was hearing from

399
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:00,960
Speaker 4: his buddies back in New England. Of course he was

400
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,440
Speaker 4: from Massachusetts. I thought that was a really interesting sidelight

401
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:08,160
Speaker 4: and subplot of the game. But my goodness, everything after

402
00:21:08,359 --> 00:21:12,080
Speaker 4: arriving to the ballpark today, it's so funny how postings

403
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 4: and baseball works. Aaron Boone is just everything's in advice

404
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:20,240
Speaker 4: for him. There's such tension one loss away from maybe

405
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 4: facing some serious questions about the job, and then he

406
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,320
Speaker 4: entrusts the least experienced starting pitcher on the roster in

407
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,360
Speaker 4: the biggest game of the year, and he simply deals

408
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:34,120
Speaker 4: in a way that basically no other Postiason pitcher ever has.

409
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:39,040
Speaker 4: It was just a remarkable performance, pinpoint command, and just

410
00:21:39,119 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 4: the Red Sox. It never felt like they really had

411
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:45,119
Speaker 4: a chance tonight, which is saying a lot for a

412
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 4: team that certainly in the opening game of the series

413
00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 4: found a way to get to the Yankee pen. I

414
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:53,640
Speaker 4: just thought that was sheer dominance tonight from Cam Schlitzler.

415
00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: JP. Let's stay in this series a second. I mean,

416
00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 1: obviously ten and four regular season win Game one, and

417
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:02,680
Speaker 1: then we look at Game two, rap Byela. The decision

418
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:06,439
Speaker 1: to bunt is one we first guest on air, and

419
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 1: as they pack up the gear for the long offseason,

420
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,800
Speaker 1: we bring it around again. Between that and not trying

421
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: to score after the I mean a great play by Chisholm,

422
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:17,919
Speaker 1: a couple of things in that inning that may have

423
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:22,520
Speaker 1: changed their fortunes and sent baseball into a spiral.

424
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:26,080
Speaker 4: Well, you're right, Michah, and I think that they're If

425
00:22:26,080 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 4: we're gonna look at the big picture of the Red Sox,

426
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 4: they got to this spot, I believe because of fundamental

427
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,880
Speaker 4: execution and an excellent manager in Ales Korra. Let's remember

428
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 4: that they're by brand name best player when the season

429
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 4: began now plays with the Giants, and rock Field evers

430
00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 4: their best player at his peak during the season. Roman

431
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:54,280
Speaker 4: Anthony is injured and not available. And so if I'm

432
00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 4: being honest here, the Boston Red Sox would have had

433
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:01,800
Speaker 4: to have played a perfect beer in my estimation to

434
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,320
Speaker 4: win it and to beat the Yankees.

435
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: US.

436
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:07,240
Speaker 4: You look at the and again story hasn't really good

437
00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,560
Speaker 4: at bats this series. So did Bregman, but the rest

438
00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:13,680
Speaker 4: of the lineup really never got going in a big way.

439
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:17,439
Speaker 4: Nate Eaton had a nice series, but there was just

440
00:23:17,480 --> 00:23:20,760
Speaker 4: not that top to bottom depth that the Yankees have.

441
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,639
Speaker 4: And I think we just saw it. And whether it

442
00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:25,040
Speaker 4: was even Voltany having a moment early on in the

443
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 4: series in the first game, Judge, of course, I thought

444
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 4: was of all the series that he played in last

445
00:23:31,960 --> 00:23:34,240
Speaker 4: year's postseason and then to this one, this is the

446
00:23:34,280 --> 00:23:36,520
Speaker 4: best series he's played in the last couple of years

447
00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:40,479
Speaker 4: in the postseason. So the Red Sox don't have an

448
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:44,800
Speaker 4: answer to Aaron Judge. It turns out that they didn't

449
00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:47,600
Speaker 4: even have an answer to Anthony Volpi and this particular series.

450
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,520
Speaker 4: So it's just that the Red Sox and you're right there,

451
00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:54,600
Speaker 4: was some missed execution plays, but they would have had

452
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 4: to play in my estimation and absolutely perfect series for

453
00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,720
Speaker 4: them to win. They did the They kind of got

454
00:24:01,760 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 4: on the board with like an early birdie in the round,

455
00:24:05,720 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 4: so to speak, by winning with Crochet on the mound

456
00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 4: and Chapman coming in behind them. But they just did

457
00:24:12,480 --> 00:24:15,120
Speaker 4: not have the depth in my view, to be able

458
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 4: to just play the rest of the series straight up

459
00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:20,040
Speaker 4: and win against the Yankee swing for swing. They had

460
00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:23,320
Speaker 4: to do something crafty and different. They tried, they failed.

461
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:27,320
Speaker 4: The better team won, and the better team now that's

462
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 4: going to face Blue Jays is the New York Yankees,

463
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 4: and that's going to be one heck of a series

464
00:24:32,320 --> 00:24:36,280
Speaker 4: against a rested but somewhat weary Blue Jays team that

465
00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:40,160
Speaker 4: may probably will not, if I'm being honest, probably will

466
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,160
Speaker 4: not have the services of Bobashett in this next round.

467
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 1: MLB Network inside of John Paul Morosi, our guest Jason Smith,

468
00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Mike Harmon live from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right,

469
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 1: let's get to the ninth inning of the Cubs and

470
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:54,640
Speaker 1: the Padres today, because as soon as this play happened,

471
00:24:54,680 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 1: I said, the ABS Challenge system can't get here fast enough.

472
00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 1: Three nothing, top of the ninth inning home run to

473
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: lead off the inning for the Padres, and then Xander

474
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:09,240
Speaker 1: Bogertz gets punched out on a call where the ball

475
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:13,199
Speaker 1: wasn't even close to being a strike. Now that changes

476
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:16,359
Speaker 1: the inning and changes the direction of the game. Next

477
00:25:16,359 --> 00:25:18,399
Speaker 1: two batters are hit by Keller. He comes out of

478
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,680
Speaker 1: the game. Cubs wind up getting out of the inning,

479
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,720
Speaker 1: but John Paul a big difference from first and second

480
00:25:23,760 --> 00:25:26,200
Speaker 1: and one out to bases loaded and nobody out, which

481
00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: likely it would happen because you know, Keller couldn't you know,

482
00:25:29,080 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: find the played after that. So he hits two guys,

483
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,040
Speaker 1: comes out of the game. Craig Council takes him right

484
00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: out of the game. That should have been bases loaded,

485
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: nobody out for the Padres. Down three to one in

486
00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:39,560
Speaker 1: the top of the ninth.

487
00:25:39,400 --> 00:25:44,480
Speaker 4: Inning, changes everything, And of course then the play and

488
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: again you never know how the how the rest of

489
00:25:46,680 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: the inning unfolds. But Kittrick comes in and that was

490
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 4: it barely got chrona worth on that slow roller. It

491
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:56,640
Speaker 4: took a really really good play by Sew to get him.

492
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 4: You're right, it's it's a miss call. There was a miscall.

493
00:25:59,800 --> 00:26:04,239
Speaker 4: Yet today, in a pivotal moment in the Tigers Guardians game, Uh,

494
00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:08,240
Speaker 4: it's it's unfortunately always has been part of part of

495
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:10,720
Speaker 4: the game. To be honest, it's less a part of

496
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,440
Speaker 4: the game now than it's ever been, and next year

497
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 4: it will be even less. We're just we will still

498
00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 4: have some mistakes. That that is inevitable, that the human

499
00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 4: element is still alive and well in baseball and has

500
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,800
Speaker 4: been for a long time. The entirety of its existence

501
00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 4: is fact. But you hate to see that. You hate

502
00:26:28,280 --> 00:26:31,399
Speaker 4: to see a call that that swings the game at

503
00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,040
Speaker 4: a really crucial point. And you're right, you never know

504
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,080
Speaker 4: how that ending unfolds if Boguards is on baze, as

505
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:39,920
Speaker 4: he should be, especially in light of what happened after that.

506
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:44,320
Speaker 4: But I think that the Podreys also, they they did

507
00:26:44,359 --> 00:26:46,959
Speaker 4: not get on the board until the final inning, and

508
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 4: I think that's that's a very difficult way to try

509
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,440
Speaker 4: to win a winner take all game. I think of

510
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:56,440
Speaker 4: the of the results today, for me, the most stunning

511
00:26:56,480 --> 00:26:59,320
Speaker 4: one was was the pod race. Was the Podreys losing.

512
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,800
Speaker 4: I thought they were gonna win the game. The Padres

513
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:05,360
Speaker 4: only getting seven hits, I thought that was a very

514
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 4: very surprising outcome. Obviously a lack of extra base power.

515
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 4: Only two extra base hits in this in this game

516
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,280
Speaker 4: for the for the Padres. That for me actually was

517
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:17,280
Speaker 4: so two doubles and one in the one home run.

518
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,000
Speaker 4: It's just there was not enough pump in at a

519
00:27:21,040 --> 00:27:22,720
Speaker 4: time of year where you're gonna have to have some

520
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,960
Speaker 4: slug more often than not to be able to win

521
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 4: Winston ball games. So that to me, of the three

522
00:27:27,520 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 4: results today was the most surprising. And and you're right,

523
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,920
Speaker 4: it's it could have easily gone differently if a call

524
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 4: had been ruled correctly. But it's asking a whole lot

525
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 4: to be able to make a three run comeback in

526
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,280
Speaker 4: the in the top of the ninth in a decisive

527
00:27:43,280 --> 00:27:46,200
Speaker 4: game when you really didn't do much at all offensively

528
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 4: in the first eight innings.

529
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'll be curious to see what they do in

530
00:27:49,119 --> 00:27:52,520
Speaker 1: the offseason, as only the Cardinals and Pirates had fewer

531
00:27:52,560 --> 00:27:57,280
Speaker 1: home runs this season than in lineups. That was the

532
00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,439
Speaker 1: lamentation from the local San Diego think Sky's falling radio

533
00:28:01,520 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: is always fun JP.

534
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:08,199
Speaker 4: And to be fair, I love Luis areas and the

535
00:28:08,280 --> 00:28:12,639
Speaker 4: ability to make to make contact, but but you need

536
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 4: more than a contact bat at first base if you're

537
00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,160
Speaker 4: gonna win the World Series. And that's and I think

538
00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:19,920
Speaker 4: that's where they fell a little bit short. That they

539
00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:24,960
Speaker 4: need that first base spot. I love Louis awesome player,

540
00:28:25,320 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 4: but I think they probably have to upgrade there at

541
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 4: that particular spot that.

542
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,320
Speaker 1: I Finishing top ten and team batting average does you

543
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,840
Speaker 1: no good when you need a big hit. Could you

544
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:36,800
Speaker 1: have the Guardians who finish at the bottom, And they

545
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: were in and they were nearly into the next round

546
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,640
Speaker 1: of them see hit two twenty six. This year, they

547
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:42,480
Speaker 1: were nearly to the next round of the playoffs.

548
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:46,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, they were. They were kind of the exception and

549
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 4: in a lot of different ways. I mean, And that

550
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:53,320
Speaker 4: to me is it's so interesting guys that though here

551
00:28:53,360 --> 00:28:55,840
Speaker 4: we are and in some ways I love this part

552
00:28:55,880 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 4: of the game, we have seen two completely on press

553
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 4: then in playoff runs in back to back years. The

554
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 4: Tigers last year, the Guardians this year. Statistically, they were

555
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 4: just not supposed to happen. And I do think and listen,

556
00:29:11,960 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 4: it's like, what are the chances of a less than

557
00:29:14,600 --> 00:29:17,520
Speaker 4: one in one hundred outcome happening in back to back

558
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 4: data sets. I realized there's thirty different data sets, thirty

559
00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 4: different teams. But the fact that Tigers made the playoffs

560
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 4: last year and they had less than one percent chance

561
00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 4: of making it, and the same with the Guardians one

562
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:33,400
Speaker 4: year later just might finally tell us that this beautiful

563
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,160
Speaker 4: sport of ours is it's very difficult to predict. And

564
00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 4: while predicting things is a good endeavor and in fact

565
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,400
Speaker 4: allows you to plan and help make decisions of your

566
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,320
Speaker 4: front office person, this is probably a game that should

567
00:29:47,320 --> 00:29:51,440
Speaker 4: just be enjoyed and not predicted and scripted, because man,

568
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 4: that's a lot of randomness in back to back years

569
00:29:53,840 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 4: that would suggest to me that we should leave a

570
00:29:56,840 --> 00:30:01,040
Speaker 4: little bit more space for the surprise and for elements

571
00:30:01,080 --> 00:30:04,880
Speaker 4: like that, because it really those two teams Tigers last

572
00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 4: year Guardians this year are a big reason why this

573
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 4: is such a beautiful sport.

574
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 1: All right, So it's time for you to make three

575
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: big predictions in the next few seconds.

576
00:30:12,680 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 4: You ready, I am one hundred percent ready, let's go.

577
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 1: Okay, the Alcs will be who, the nlcs will be who.

578
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: And give us your Lions prediction for this week, you

579
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: Lions insider, you.

580
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 4: All right, Mariners will meet the Blue Jays. That's what

581
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 4: I've got there. The Marriage will meet the Blue Jays,

582
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:37,720
Speaker 4: the Phillies. I believe they're going to find a way

583
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 4: to beat the Dodgers. The Phillies will meet the Brewers.

584
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,800
Speaker 4: I think that's gonna be a fun series two if

585
00:30:43,800 --> 00:30:47,840
Speaker 4: it plays out that way. And then the Detroit Lions

586
00:30:48,080 --> 00:30:53,400
Speaker 4: this weekend will triumph by a score of thirty one

587
00:30:54,080 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 4: twenty one. I'm going a little higher scoring than I typically.

588
00:30:57,360 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: Wow, that's way high. He's hitting the over which is

589
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,200
Speaker 1: forty nine and a half and the spread is ten.

590
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:08,240
Speaker 4: They're playing in Cincinnati against the Bengals. By the way,

591
00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 4: that game interesting and these are very rare things that

592
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:14,040
Speaker 4: I know. I don't know a lot, but I do

593
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,280
Speaker 4: know that typically AFC games are supposed to be on CBS,

594
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 4: but that will flex the Fox Baby because they know

595
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:24,160
Speaker 4: the national audience wants more Lions. They want more Lions

596
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 4: on national TV, so they flex them into the four

597
00:31:26,920 --> 00:31:32,320
Speaker 4: twenty five slot. Lions Bengals, the Detroit Lions thirty one,

598
00:31:32,680 --> 00:31:36,560
Speaker 4: the Cincinnati Bengals twenty one, and it'll it'll be a

599
00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 4: very robust weekend of sports in my great city. And

600
00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 4: of course they're all playing on the road. The Lions

601
00:31:43,760 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 4: and the Tigers. But the Lions of Cincinnati the Tigers

602
00:31:47,520 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 4: in Seattle. I think the Tigers find a way to

603
00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 4: split the first two games, but the Mariners eventually prevail

604
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,120
Speaker 4: in five.

605
00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 1: This could be and John Paul, this could be a

606
00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,000
Speaker 1: big weekend for Michigan, a big week for Michigan over

607
00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: Ohio in general. You know you already had this. You're

608
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,000
Speaker 1: gonna have it on have it on Sunday again. Yeah,

609
00:32:04,120 --> 00:32:05,680
Speaker 1: to be a big Michigan overall.

610
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:09,760
Speaker 4: Fil taken on the whole state. What we need is

611
00:32:09,960 --> 00:32:12,840
Speaker 4: the next Piston's Cavaliers playoffs. Heres. We have to wait

612
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 4: for this one for a while. Uh. This, by the way,

613
00:32:15,840 --> 00:32:19,680
Speaker 4: is only and I always love these cross sport dynamics.

614
00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 4: Only the second time ever that a in the four

615
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:29,120
Speaker 4: major sports that a Detroit team has played a Seattle team.

616
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:33,800
Speaker 4: The previous time was was the Jim Caldwell coached Lions

617
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,480
Speaker 4: who went out to Seattle, and I believe the final

618
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,800
Speaker 4: score was twenty six to six. It was a fairly

619
00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:45,040
Speaker 4: bland game as Yeah. January seventh, twenty seventeen. It looks

620
00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:48,000
Speaker 4: like the Lions did all their scoring on two Matt

621
00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 4: Prater bigels. Uh. There was there was a lot of

622
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:54,360
Speaker 4: uh uh and Doug Baldwin big catch there at the

623
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:56,239
Speaker 4: end from Russell Wilson's there you go. So that was

624
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,880
Speaker 4: that was That was the box score. Some goodness now

625
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:00,720

638
00:33:34,840 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: Paul Morosi. And the drama has not stopped the forty

639
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:43,200
Speaker 1: nine Ers and the Rams in overtime, the Niners with

640
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:46,040
Speaker 1: a twenty six to twenty three lead after a field goal.

641
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Speaker 1: The Rams, faced with a fourth and one inside the

642
00:33:50,720 --> 00:33:54,600
Speaker 1: red zone, they decide to go for it on fourth

643
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: and one. How did it turn out? Mister Belanos has

644
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:00,600
Speaker 1: the answer and what's trending?

645
00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:05,080
Speaker 7: It was not good for La as the Niners stop

646
00:34:05,200 --> 00:34:08,560
Speaker 7: that fourth and one on their own eleven yard line.

647
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,440
Speaker 1: Rams were knocking on the door to score.

648
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 7: It was a nice thirty eight thirty eight yard pass

649
00:34:15,080 --> 00:34:17,600
Speaker 7: from Matthew Stafford to two to out well to get

650
00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 7: them downfield. But San Francisco makes another stop, another crucial stop.

651
00:34:23,280 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 7: They win it twenty six to twenty three.

652
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Who to thunk it? None of you, none of us,

653
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,520
Speaker 1: None of us. We're thinking. I thought it was going

654
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: to be forty eight seventeen Rams be it were really

655
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:38,200
Speaker 1: that the number, It was unreal.

656
00:34:38,400 --> 00:34:41,720
Speaker 7: And there was another hit while you guys were talking

657
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,120
Speaker 7: to JP Morosi on Mac Jones, the first sack of

658
00:34:45,239 --> 00:34:47,560
Speaker 7: the game for the Rams, and I really was like,

659
00:34:47,760 --> 00:34:48,600

00:35:13,280 --> 00:35:14,840
Speaker 7: and forty two yards.

670
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 2: San Francisco improves.

671

707

Speaker 1: Show with my best friend Mike Harmon. Yeah, I mean

708
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:18,279
Speaker 1: that was a tush push, just inverting the y. The

709
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:23,480
Speaker 1: Niners pull off the upset over the Rams twenty six,

710
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:26,560
Speaker 1: twenty three. The Rams had a chance and could have

711
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:28,800
Speaker 1: kicked the game tying field goal that would have extended

712
00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,640
Speaker 1: the game. But on fourth and one, they go for

713
00:37:31,800 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 1: it from the from inside the fifteen yard line. And

714
00:37:36,840 --> 00:37:39,879
Speaker 1: it was a bad play call from the beginning. Right away.

715
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: I first guessed it. I said, where is the yard

716
00:37:42,080 --> 00:37:44,640
Speaker 1: gonna come from? Everybody is stacked the line of scrimmage there.

717
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:46,680
Speaker 1: A yard is not going to come out of this play.

718
00:37:47,200 --> 00:37:49,880
Speaker 1: But the Rams decide, Hey, fourth and one, let's go

719
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,480
Speaker 1: for it. Let's be bold. And this is how it

720
00:37:52,600 --> 00:37:56,040
Speaker 1: turned out. One for the Rams.

721
00:37:56,120 --> 00:37:58,040
Speaker 3: Niners lead by three, a chance to win it with

722
00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 3: a stop. Here in overtime. Stafford gets under center at

723
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:04,560
Speaker 3: the eleven yard line. He takes it, he turns, he

724
00:38:04,600 --> 00:38:05,600
Speaker 3: gives to Karen Williams.

725
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:08,680
Speaker 1: He gets packed. I think he's short, Tim, I think

726
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:11,800
Speaker 1: he's short. And the forty nine store in the field.

727
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: It is all over. The forty have won it in

728
00:38:16,600 --> 00:38:19,920
Speaker 1: over time here in la I just want to let

729
00:38:19,960 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 1: you know, Tim, Yes, it was short, all right, so

730
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,000
Speaker 1: Tim knows. I think Tim now knows that play was short.

731
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:28,040
Speaker 1: Tim the play was short. He thought about it, thought

732
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:31,360
Speaker 1: about it. I mean very slow developing play. Yes, it was.

733
00:38:31,719 --> 00:38:35,440
Speaker 1: It was an awful play call. Again, the Niners were

734
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:38,120
Speaker 1: stacked to stop it. They had called time out. I

735
00:38:38,480 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 1: don't see how the Rams thought this is gonna get

736
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,600
Speaker 1: a yard. But this is why, again, this is why

737
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,560
Speaker 1: the tush push is such a big deal and why

738
00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:50,640
Speaker 1: it's a big advantage when you can pull this off.

739
00:38:50,800 --> 00:38:52,640
Speaker 1: I bet you Sean McVay is walking off the field

740
00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,200
Speaker 1: right now, going, you know what, screw it, We're gonna

741
00:38:55,200 --> 00:38:57,080
Speaker 1: do the tush push. We're gonna because I can't have

742
00:38:57,160 --> 00:39:00,799
Speaker 1: that again. Stafford adn't skip leg day, Kyan Williams. Two

743
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:03,440
Speaker 1: bad play, two big plays. Is fumble going into the

744
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:05,160
Speaker 1: end zone could have won the game for the Rams.

745
00:39:05,480 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: Uh he gets stopped here on fourth and one. But

746
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 1: again the tush push that this is This is why

747
00:39:11,800 --> 00:39:14,080
Speaker 1: the Eagles win. It's why the Eagles win games. It's

748
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:15,879
Speaker 1: why plays like this you get the third and one,

749
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Speaker 1: fourth and one. The Eagles are unstoppable because they can

750
00:39:19,080 --> 00:39:22,000
Speaker 1: continue to run a play like this, And really, I

751
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,719
Speaker 1: don't understand why other teams haven't picked it up. I

752
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,839
Speaker 1: really don't. It's not like the Eagles have ownership over

753
00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,440
Speaker 1: the play. It's when you saw teams running uh, you

754
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,160
Speaker 1: know when when you would have the quarterback come out

755
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:38,040
Speaker 1: of the game when Ronnie Brown would run wildcat out.

756
00:39:38,239 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 1: When the wildcat came into the league, other teams did

757
00:39:40,360 --> 00:39:43,080
Speaker 1: the wildcat. There was no prople. Other teams did the wildcat.

758
00:39:43,440 --> 00:39:45,680
Speaker 1: Most teams tried it. Okay, we really don't have the

759
00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,120
Speaker 1: personnel for it, but okay, but you saw other teams

760
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:51,279
Speaker 1: try the wildcat. This is a play that you can

761
00:39:51,440 --> 00:39:53,960
Speaker 1: easily figure out what to do. Like tush, push is

762
00:39:54,000 --> 00:39:55,719
Speaker 1: a pretty easy play. Get your line and one you

763
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,839
Speaker 1: going down, figuring pushing, you can do it. I don't

764
00:39:58,920 --> 00:40:02,759
Speaker 1: know why all the the teams in the NFL having said, oh, well,

765
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:05,920
Speaker 1: if they do it, we're gonna steal that play because

766
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:08,560
Speaker 1: it's gonna get us a yard on fourth and one,

767
00:40:08,600 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: a third and one. All the time. We're gonna figure

768
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,080
Speaker 1: out how to pull this off. We're gonna install it

769
00:40:13,160 --> 00:40:15,320
Speaker 1: during training camp, we're gonna practice it. We're gonna do X,

770
00:40:15,440 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 1: Y and Z, gona do all of these things. I

771
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:20,479
Speaker 1: don't know why other teams haven't done this, I really don't.

772
00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:22,120
Speaker 1: I don't know if they feel like, well, we're infringing

773
00:40:22,200 --> 00:40:24,640
Speaker 1: on the on the Eagles, you know, they they're gonna

774
00:40:24,640 --> 00:40:26,759
Speaker 1: say Hey, back away, this is our play. I don't

775
00:40:26,840 --> 00:40:28,600
Speaker 1: know why other teams haven't done that. Yeah, I mean

776
00:40:28,640 --> 00:40:32,000
Speaker 1: in this case, I guess I understand it. With Matthew Stafford,

777
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:35,279
Speaker 1: kind of like the fact that Philip Rivers, for as

778
00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,040
Speaker 1: great as he was, you knew there was never gonna

779
00:40:38,040 --> 00:40:40,239
Speaker 1: be a quarterback sneak with it. With Matthew Stafford, I

780
00:40:40,239 --> 00:40:42,360
Speaker 1: think we're kind of in that same boat, right that

781
00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:44,800
Speaker 1: we're not gonna see it, and then it just becomes

782
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,680
Speaker 1: a question of where the ball's going. And again, the

783
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:51,040
Speaker 1: handoff being as slow at it as it was, that

784
00:40:51,200 --> 00:40:53,759
Speaker 1: you were able to plug the gap and you had

785
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:56,640
Speaker 1: multiple guys coming from the second level to crash the

786
00:40:56,760 --> 00:40:59,359
Speaker 1: party and keep Williams from getting to the first down

787
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:04,120
Speaker 1: a league wide Yeah, the fact that that isn't a

788
00:41:04,239 --> 00:41:12,160
Speaker 1: more widely used and perpetrated move, I guess some of

789
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,480
Speaker 1: it owes to the larger question that we keep having

790
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:21,600
Speaker 1: about practice time and scaling that back and your reliance

791
00:41:21,680 --> 00:41:24,439
Speaker 1: on your offensive line, the cohesion of your offensive line

792
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,120
Speaker 1: because it's got a click, right. The fact that we

793
00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:31,000
Speaker 1: haven't seen a bunch of penalties called after the incidents

794
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:34,480
Speaker 1: of earlier in the two weeks ago is kind of curious.

795
00:41:34,840 --> 00:41:37,280
Speaker 1: We'll see when that first one comes out against the Eagles,

796
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:39,960
Speaker 1: But to this point now they're running variations of it.

797
00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:45,560
Speaker 1: Right now, I play and all there's I mean, I

798
00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:48,520
Speaker 1: don't see how this is like it's a copycat. If

799
00:41:48,520 --> 00:41:50,480
Speaker 1: the NFL wasn't a copycat league, I would say what

800
00:41:50,800 --> 00:41:54,080
Speaker 1: But everybody copycats everything and they don't do it, especially

801
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,880
Speaker 1: this which has what a ninety seven percent success right,

802
00:41:58,040 --> 00:42:00,520
Speaker 1: I don't get the rams. They got to own this loss.

803
00:42:00,840 --> 00:42:03,240
Speaker 1: They gave this game to the forty nine multiple times.

804
00:42:04,040 --> 00:42:06,160
Speaker 1: You want a big quarterback hot take coming off of

805
00:42:06,239 --> 00:42:08,440
Speaker 1: this game, Oh, we got it for you. Next Chasing
