1 00:00:00,800 --> 00:00:03,680 Speaker 1: You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox 2 00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:07,000 Speaker 1: Sports Radio. By the way, back in November, Odell Beckham 3 00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,680 Speaker 1: Junior the Third signed that deal with the Rams worth 4 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:13,040 Speaker 1: seven hundred fifty thousand dollars. He announced that he would 5 00:00:13,039 --> 00:00:16,680 Speaker 1: take that in bitcoin. At the time, bitcoin was worth 6 00:00:16,920 --> 00:00:20,840 Speaker 1: sixty four thousand, two hundred ninety three dollars. Today it's 7 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: worth thirty five thousand. Today's deal is worth four hundred 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:28,319 Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars. So he's going to be taxed on 9 00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,920 Speaker 1: seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and so that's going 10 00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:36,200 Speaker 1: to be fifty percent. That means Odell Beckham as of now, 11 00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,960 Speaker 1: has netted thirty five thousand, seven hundred and three dollars 12 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,479 Speaker 1: from his RAMS contract. Wow. Stat of the day, stat 13 00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:47,879 Speaker 1: of the day that past. I didn't know if that 14 00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:49,720 Speaker 1: was a fact of the day or a stat of 15 00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,839 Speaker 1: the day. Yes, Poland, you know how some people athletes 16 00:00:51,960 --> 00:00:53,599 Speaker 1: entertained going, I would I love it here so much 17 00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,279 Speaker 1: I would have paid them to let me play here. 18 00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:57,320 Speaker 1: He's actually might be doing that a couple of weeks. 19 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,360 Speaker 1: He's gonna without cash. I would play. Yeah. Albert Brier 20 00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 1: joining US senior NFL reporter always smarter. After we hear 21 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: from Albert Monday morning quarterback NBC Boston joining us from Tampa. 22 00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:15,800 Speaker 1: What was the feeling like there before and then the 23 00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:20,360 Speaker 1: feeling after that game, Albert? I mean before, I think 24 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: most people were talking about Brady and whether this was 25 00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: his last game or could be his last game. Obviously 26 00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 1: we didn't know at the time. Um, afterwards, you know, 27 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:33,839 Speaker 1: I still have that in the back of my head 28 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: that he's going to play one more year, and I 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,560 Speaker 1: think he's going to think about it, and I think 30 00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,200 Speaker 1: he has other things to consider. Um, you know, a 31 00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: family is certainly a part of it. You know, he's 32 00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: got a son who I believe will be going into 33 00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:47,520 Speaker 1: high school next year. That Sun lives in New York. Um. Yeah, 34 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,680 Speaker 1: everything you hear from everybody who's close to him. He's 35 00:01:49,680 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 1: a great dad and so like, there are some things 36 00:01:52,320 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: that I think are going to weigh on him. But 37 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: you know, that magic number of forty five is not 38 00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:01,440 Speaker 1: an arbitrary number for him, and and so you know, 39 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: I think he can still do it. And the one 40 00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: thing that sort of I think he's always establishes that 41 00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:08,560 Speaker 1: lion demarcations. I don't want to go out there and suck, 42 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: And I don't think he sucks like I think he's 43 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:13,240 Speaker 1: still pretty good. And I think we can all envision 44 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: a pretty good Tom Brady going out there and playing 45 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: one last year in twenty twenty two. The key to 46 00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,040 Speaker 1: me is going to do what Tampa does, because if 47 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,200 Speaker 1: you look at Tampa right now, Ryan Jensen's a free agent, 48 00:02:23,880 --> 00:02:27,000 Speaker 1: Carlton Davis is a free agent, Chris Godwin's a free agent, 49 00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,000 Speaker 1: Leonard Fournette's a free agent, Rob Gronkowski's a free agent, 50 00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:33,360 Speaker 1: and they've mortgaged so many of these contracts. They do 51 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:35,679 Speaker 1: have some space to work with next year. But I 52 00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:38,000 Speaker 1: think to bring the band back together, it's going to 53 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:39,919 Speaker 1: take a lot of people taking a little bit less, 54 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,639 Speaker 1: and you have to at least account for the fact 55 00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:44,680 Speaker 1: that a guy like Chris Godwin, who's been waiting to 56 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: get his big second contract, probably isn't going to do that. 57 00:02:48,280 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 1: So I think there are a lot of factors that 58 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:51,959 Speaker 1: are going to come into play here over the next 59 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: month or so as Tom Brady makes his decision. And 60 00:02:54,480 --> 00:02:56,400 Speaker 1: then for the Rams man, I think it's vindication for 61 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,639 Speaker 1: the Stafford trade. I mean, I think you know, in 62 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 1: those last whatever it was twenty five seconds, you saw 63 00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:04,400 Speaker 1: why they traded for Matthew Stafford. And oh, by the way, 64 00:03:04,639 --> 00:03:06,760 Speaker 1: I think the game that followed, right, I think that 65 00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:09,520 Speaker 1: shows why you trade for Matthew Stafford two because I 66 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 1: think if you don't have a guy like that right now, 67 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 1: like that game last night, that AFC Divisional playoff between 68 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,160 Speaker 1: Buffalo and Kansas City, has to give you nightmares. I mean, 69 00:03:19,160 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: if I'm anybody in the AFC right now outside of 70 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:24,600 Speaker 1: maybe the Chargers and the BEng goals, and I'm looking 71 00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:26,720 Speaker 1: at that, I'm like taking a second look at what 72 00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,160 Speaker 1: I have a quarterback, because I mean, you're all looking 73 00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,079 Speaker 1: up a mountain right now, and it's almost like Patrick 74 00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:35,680 Speaker 1: Mahomes cooled off enough that we moved on to the 75 00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:39,640 Speaker 1: next quarterback and we've forgotten Like if it's it's possible 76 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: that he's underrated, he reminded us last night that he 77 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: still can do things that maybe no other quarterback in 78 00:03:47,360 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 1: the NFL can. Do. You know what's interesting about it, 79 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: Dan Is I think like what we sort of forget 80 00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 1: too is there's still room for growth there, which is 81 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,720 Speaker 1: a scary thing about home. Right Like he's already been 82 00:03:58,720 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 1: to two Super Bowls, he's wont to Super Bowl, He's 83 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: won an MVP. He accomplished so much over his fourth 84 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: his first four years, one of which he didn't even 85 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,280 Speaker 1: play in, right that, like, going into year five, I 86 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:11,240 Speaker 1: think we just looked at him as this finished product, 87 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:13,800 Speaker 1: and so when it didn't look perfect earlier in the year, 88 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:15,920 Speaker 1: you sort of forget the fact that the guy is 89 00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:18,320 Speaker 1: twenty six years old. And I remember talking to some 90 00:04:18,360 --> 00:04:21,159 Speaker 1: defensive coaches over there, of course September and October, like 91 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:23,440 Speaker 1: what's wrong with the Chiefs offense? What's going on? What 92 00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 1: are they doing? It's like defenses are challenging him in 93 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:28,240 Speaker 1: different ways and he's got to learn to evolve a 94 00:04:28,279 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: little bit. And that stuff was real, you know, like 95 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:33,600 Speaker 1: teams were playing two high safeties against him and challenging 96 00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:36,559 Speaker 1: him to go ten plays, twelve plays, four team plays. 97 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:38,000 Speaker 1: We saw Buffalo do it at the start of the 98 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 1: game a little bit yesterday too, you know, and so 99 00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:42,800 Speaker 1: I think he had to develop that part of his 100 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: game a little bit more, and to his credit, he's 101 00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 1: done it, you know, And I think like that's the 102 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:49,560 Speaker 1: one thing that I think sometimes we look at with 103 00:04:49,640 --> 00:04:52,719 Speaker 1: Mahomes and we sort of forget, is that He's still 104 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,599 Speaker 1: really young. He came into the league really raw. He 105 00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,960 Speaker 1: only spent three years in college. He's still just twenty 106 00:04:57,960 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: six years old. And there was room growth. And I 107 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,520 Speaker 1: think over the course this year, through some of those 108 00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 1: struggles in the middle of the year, we have seen 109 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:06,320 Speaker 1: that growth and I think all of it sort of 110 00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:08,920 Speaker 1: came together yesterday against Buffalo. It feels like there was 111 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:13,120 Speaker 1: an outcry to change overtime because we love the Bill's story, 112 00:05:13,440 --> 00:05:15,680 Speaker 1: like the lovable Bills. They got a chance to go 113 00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:19,919 Speaker 1: to the AFC title game again, and like if Tom 114 00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,840 Speaker 1: Brady had lost in overtime, I don't think anybody would 115 00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,240 Speaker 1: be shouting for the Mountaintops we need to change this. 116 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,520 Speaker 1: But it felt like because the Bills lost, we hate 117 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: the overtime rule. The team that wins the toss in 118 00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:36,200 Speaker 1: the playoffs in overtime, I think has only lost once. 119 00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:39,800 Speaker 1: It has There been something on the table with the 120 00:05:39,800 --> 00:05:43,720 Speaker 1: Competition Committee with changing overtime, Yeah, I mean they've talked 121 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,359 Speaker 1: about the idea of having so the Chiefs brought this 122 00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:49,039 Speaker 1: up and brought this to the table that each team 123 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 1: should have at least one possession and then if it's 124 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,800 Speaker 1: tied after one possession, goes sudden death after that, and 125 00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:56,640 Speaker 1: a lot of people looked to that as sour grapes 126 00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: because it came around the heel the same thing happening 127 00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:02,120 Speaker 1: to Kansas City in the AFC Championship game, and you 128 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: remember the scenario was almost identical, right, Like if you 129 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 1: remember that game, what happened in that game was it 130 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: was a heavyweight bout between two great quarterbacks and in 131 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:14,280 Speaker 1: the end, the defenses were completely out of gas. I 132 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: mean you remember that Dan like d Floyd was off 133 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,120 Speaker 1: sides because it was just you felt like the defenses 134 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,279 Speaker 1: had given everything they could and they were completely out 135 00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,279 Speaker 1: of gas. And I think it was the same thing 136 00:06:23,320 --> 00:06:25,960 Speaker 1: here if Buffalo gets the Volkansas City's defenses out of 137 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,560 Speaker 1: gas and it happens to the Chiefs again, you know. 138 00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: And so I see both sides of this, and I 139 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,240 Speaker 1: think it's a difficult one because on one end, the 140 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: competition committee in the league had been trying to limit 141 00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: the amount of damage that goes on to football players bodies, 142 00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,440 Speaker 1: and that's why they went from fifteen minute overtime to 143 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 1: ten minute overtime. So they don't want to have twenty 144 00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:49,160 Speaker 1: twenty five thirty minute overtimes in the playoffs, they just 145 00:06:49,480 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: because of the players, help and save the stuff you've 146 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:55,239 Speaker 1: got that. I also understand where people are saying, well, 147 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: it's not like one of these things where you just 148 00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: need thirty yards anymore, right like you need you need 149 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,240 Speaker 1: to go seventy five yards in most cases discourse, So 150 00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,400 Speaker 1: if you can't stop him, he deserved to lose. I 151 00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:08,440 Speaker 1: understand all that. I also sort of understand where the 152 00:07:08,520 --> 00:07:11,760 Speaker 1: rules now are so tilted towards the offense, and we're 153 00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:14,680 Speaker 1: seeing these just worn out defenses in these situations where 154 00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:16,800 Speaker 1: it does feel a little bit like as a fatal 155 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:20,280 Speaker 1: complete when Kansas City wins the toss, that they're gonna 156 00:07:20,280 --> 00:07:21,760 Speaker 1: go right down the field, and I believe they only 157 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:25,360 Speaker 1: faced one third down going down the field right, which 158 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,200 Speaker 1: is very much like the ease with which the Patriots 159 00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,320 Speaker 1: went down the field on the Chiefs three years ago. 160 00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:34,480 Speaker 1: We're talking to Albert Brewer's senior NFL reporter, lead content 161 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,600 Speaker 1: strategist for the Monday Morning Quarterback. Let's look at the 162 00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:41,400 Speaker 1: losing teams in the quarterbacking situation. You think Brady's back 163 00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:44,600 Speaker 1: next year? Probably, I'm not one hundred percent, but I 164 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 1: think that like he winds up. I mean, you know, 165 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:50,480 Speaker 1: he has a boss just like me and you have bosses. 166 00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:52,680 Speaker 1: So he's gonna go home and check with the boss. 167 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:58,240 Speaker 1: But you know, I like, I think ultimately he I 168 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,800 Speaker 1: think ultimately there's gonna think he comes to some sort 169 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,600 Speaker 1: of agreement with the Bucks where he can play one 170 00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: more year. And I think that like he sort of 171 00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: figured it out in the off season. We're gonna spend 172 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,240 Speaker 1: enough time around his family. But you know, I don't 173 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 1: think anything's for certain right now, and I think he 174 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:15,720 Speaker 1: does want to see what the Bucks plan is. All right. 175 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers says he played his last game in Green Bay. 176 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:21,680 Speaker 1: This is really tough because the I mean all that 177 00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:23,760 Speaker 1: stuff I said about the Bucks on the situation they're in, 178 00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: I think it's worse with the with the with the Packers. 179 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 1: I mean, not only are they, you know, almost fifty 180 00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,880 Speaker 1: million dollars over the cap for next year, they also 181 00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: got to figure out what to do with Aaron Rodgers 182 00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:35,959 Speaker 1: best receiver and maybe his best friend on the team, 183 00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: and DeVante Adams, and they're sort of a package deal. 184 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: So I think he I think they've made a lot 185 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,600 Speaker 1: of progress towards potentially being together in twenty twenty two. 186 00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 1: Well complicates it to me is the fact that I 187 00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:51,200 Speaker 1: think it would require doing a new contract to do that, 188 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,160 Speaker 1: because the packers aren't going to go into a contract 189 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: year with him and risk losing him for nothing in 190 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:59,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty three. And so can you figure out the contract? 191 00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: Can you figure out way to manage the cap situation? 192 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:05,240 Speaker 1: Are you willing to mortgage all, you know, a couple 193 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,080 Speaker 1: more years to make it work for another single year? 194 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:10,240 Speaker 1: And then what do you do beyond that? You know, 195 00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's become so complicated because they did so 196 00:09:13,280 --> 00:09:15,840 Speaker 1: much to make it work this year. The good news is, 197 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,319 Speaker 1: I do think some of the relationship mending has happened. 198 00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: And you've heard him talk about Brian Goodacoons who I mean, Like, 199 00:09:22,800 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: I think you know that relationship is in a really 200 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: really bad place seven eight nine months ago. I think 201 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: it's in a much better place now. And I think 202 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,760 Speaker 1: Matt Lafloor deserves a lot of credit for facilitating that. 203 00:09:34,840 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: So I do think that there's there's a path here, 204 00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,000 Speaker 1: even if it's a little bit of a narrow one, 205 00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:41,360 Speaker 1: just because of the circumstances and the logistics of the team. 206 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: The Titans with Ryan towneho if that's tough. You know 207 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: his contracts, his money for next year is guaranteed, So 208 00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:53,480 Speaker 1: his base salary of twenty nine million dollars for next 209 00:09:53,559 --> 00:09:56,640 Speaker 1: year is guaranteed. The only path I see out of 210 00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:01,439 Speaker 1: this Dan is like doing what the Chiefs did, you know, 211 00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: when they had Alex Smith. I think because of their 212 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:06,559 Speaker 1: cap situation. The only way you can really do it 213 00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:10,439 Speaker 1: if you're the Titans, I mean, unless you find somebody 214 00:10:10,520 --> 00:10:12,960 Speaker 1: take on that contract. With the Rams found you know, 215 00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: the lines amountable to the idea of taking on Jared 216 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: Goff's contract, and that's a totally different thing. Jared Goff's 217 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:22,280 Speaker 1: ten years younger than Ryan Tannehill. Unless you can find 218 00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,880 Speaker 1: somebody take on that contract, I think the only way 219 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: to sort of reset a quarterback right now is to 220 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:30,160 Speaker 1: do what the Chiefs did and spend the next couple 221 00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: of years just work in the college ranks and trying 222 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,680 Speaker 1: to find somebody that you really like. And the trouble is, like, 223 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,960 Speaker 1: right now, there's not that obvious answer, like if you 224 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 1: talk to enough college scouts, like this is one of 225 00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:46,200 Speaker 1: the weakest quarterback classes coming in in ten to fifteen years, 226 00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,160 Speaker 1: and maybe we all look stupid for saying that. In 227 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: a few years, I don't know, but that's just Burts 228 00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:53,040 Speaker 1: right now. And then I don't know that there's like 229 00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 1: that Trevor Lawrence on the horizon either, Like you look 230 00:10:55,520 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 1: twenty three, twenty four. I mean, someone's going to be there, 231 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 1: but I'm not sure that they're like this, this great 232 00:11:01,240 --> 00:11:03,679 Speaker 1: quarterbacking hope on the horizon and the college level as 233 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: it stands right now. Yeah, it's kind of interesting that, 234 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: you know, when do you do it and trying to 235 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:15,480 Speaker 1: get somebody, and then you know, Kansas City went they 236 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,120 Speaker 1: waited until the very last second, I think, to go 237 00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:20,800 Speaker 1: up and get Mahomes, because this would have all changed 238 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,439 Speaker 1: if Sean Payton, you know, if Patrick Mahomes was there. 239 00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: Sean was taking Patrick Mahomes. Yeah, I mean they were 240 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,120 Speaker 1: worried about I mean, I mean, you look at the 241 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: Chiefs were concerned about the Cardinals at thirteen and the 242 00:11:34,200 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: Saints at eleven. And I have it on good authority 243 00:11:36,679 --> 00:11:38,840 Speaker 1: that the Saints were taking him at eleven. They wound 244 00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: up getting really good player in Marshawn Lattimore, but that 245 00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 1: was Patrick Mahomes. Do you imagine the landscape of the 246 00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 1: NFL would be a whole lot different right now. And oh, 247 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:49,000 Speaker 1: by the way, who was it that traded and you 248 00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:55,960 Speaker 1: read that draft pick? Sean McDermott ouch. Yeah, Sean Payton 249 00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,440 Speaker 1: told him. You know, when I asked him, I said, 250 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 1: were you taking Mahomes? He said, yes, that that that 251 00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:07,600 Speaker 1: we were Is Sean Dunne in New Orleans? Um, I 252 00:12:07,679 --> 00:12:11,599 Speaker 1: don't think so. I think he's going to get offers 253 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,360 Speaker 1: from places like Fox and Amazon that are going to 254 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 1: entice him. I think he's making so much money now 255 00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 1: in New Orleans and has such a comfortable situation in 256 00:12:22,640 --> 00:12:27,600 Speaker 1: New Orleans. I just think like he's probably I think 257 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,719 Speaker 1: he's eventually going to be in TV. Um, but I 258 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: think like for right now, I think he'd be he's 259 00:12:34,120 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: comfortable going back to the Saints. And again, I think 260 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,600 Speaker 1: he'll eventually be in TV. And maybe this is like 261 00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: a sixty forty thing for me right now. I wrote 262 00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:44,800 Speaker 1: about this back, you know, at the end of the 263 00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,520 Speaker 1: regular season, like I had heard it was a possibility 264 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 1: in November and December. Um, you know, like I don't 265 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,760 Speaker 1: think the Bears, like although I think the Bears really 266 00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:57,600 Speaker 1: did discuss the idea of trading for Sean Payton. Sean 267 00:12:57,679 --> 00:12:59,720 Speaker 1: Payton didn't want to go there because he had misgivings 268 00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:02,400 Speaker 1: about ownership and everything else. I do think the TV 269 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:05,680 Speaker 1: thing like is enticing for him, But ultimately, I think 270 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:09,079 Speaker 1: because of like, because of a few different factors that 271 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:11,200 Speaker 1: go into that job in New Orleans, where he has 272 00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:13,600 Speaker 1: things like really where he's got a lot of control 273 00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 1: and he can run the show there he's making really 274 00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: good money, I think he winds up going back for 275 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: at least another year. What about Dallas? And that's the thing, 276 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:23,840 Speaker 1: you know, Like, but but here's like, what's the tent 277 00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:27,280 Speaker 1: my question with Dallas? Like, right, I think like Sean 278 00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:28,719 Speaker 1: could take a year off and then wind up in 279 00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,679 Speaker 1: Dallas next year. Like, I think that's possible. The thing 280 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: to me about Dallas is, what's the tension point now 281 00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: more than a week after the Cowboy season ended to 282 00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,480 Speaker 1: push Jerry to go and fire Mike McCarthy because he's 283 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:45,960 Speaker 1: not just gonna wait forever for Sean Payton, right, Like, 284 00:13:46,080 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: I think that at some point you've got to move 285 00:13:48,440 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: on to me, like the one tension point that gets 286 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: my book, that gets Jerry Jones to like really think 287 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 1: about doing something on Mike McCarthy would be losing dan Quinn, 288 00:13:58,200 --> 00:13:59,760 Speaker 1: and that's going to come to a head probably in 289 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:03,280 Speaker 1: the couple of days. He's a finalist in Denver. I 290 00:14:03,280 --> 00:14:05,440 Speaker 1: think he's still the front runner for that job in Denver. 291 00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 1: He's in New York today interviewing with the Giants, that's 292 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:12,240 Speaker 1: where he's from. And I think that the Giants really 293 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: sort of are intrigued by the idea of bring him in. 294 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:19,560 Speaker 1: He could have multiple offers and so, like, I think 295 00:14:19,560 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: this is something that Stephen and Jerry Jones have really 296 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: had to think about. Is they love dan Quinn. He's 297 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:26,440 Speaker 1: better than they even thought he would be when they 298 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:28,640 Speaker 1: hired him. They think he can. They think he's gonna 299 00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 1: be a really good head coach. Again. They saw the 300 00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:32,080 Speaker 1: way he changed their defense. They saw him develop young 301 00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: talent like Michael Parsons and Trey von Diggs. Now the 302 00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 1: question is, if you're Jerry and Stephen, are you willing 303 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,080 Speaker 1: to let dan Quinn walk out the door to keep 304 00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,640 Speaker 1: Mike McCarthy And do you want to face the prospect 305 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:49,120 Speaker 1: of Mike McCarthy without dan Quinn. Now, maybe they go 306 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:50,960 Speaker 1: out and get Mike Zimmer if they lose Quinn, which 307 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: I'd expect they will lose Quinn, but I think it's 308 00:14:53,960 --> 00:14:56,080 Speaker 1: certainly given Jerry and Steven something to think about over 309 00:14:56,120 --> 00:14:58,880 Speaker 1: the last week. I'll leave you with this, the team 310 00:14:58,920 --> 00:15:04,040 Speaker 1: that could afford both Rogers and DeVante Adams because looking 311 00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:07,280 Speaker 1: at the cap room. Uh. And I don't know what 312 00:15:07,480 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 1: Denver's cap situation is, but I've been on that. You know, 313 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:12,960 Speaker 1: since they traded Von Miller, they were loading up to 314 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: send draft picks to the Cowboys. But you know the Dolphins. 315 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:20,200 Speaker 1: Dolphins got I think sixty seven million dollars in cap space. 316 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: You move on from tua Um, you're not gonna trade 317 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:29,920 Speaker 1: for Watson. I don't know. Is that a possible idea. 318 00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:32,360 Speaker 1: It's a fun idea. Yeah, I mean, I think it's 319 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:35,320 Speaker 1: a it's a fun idea. Wait, are you just being 320 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: nice to me? Is that what you're doing right now? 321 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: That's a cute little story. I'm not here, I'm not patronizing, 322 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,200 Speaker 1: and yeah here, I know, I know. I like the 323 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: I like the idea of it because I do think 324 00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to compare to it to Tebow, but 325 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,280 Speaker 1: like it sort of Do you remember, like what it 326 00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: was like with tibo Um in Denver or he'd won 327 00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: the playoff game, and he had a lot of backing 328 00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 1: in the city and there were people in the organization 329 00:16:03,040 --> 00:16:05,960 Speaker 1: who liked him and he was good for business in Denver, 330 00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:09,160 Speaker 1: and they needed to do something they like. The football 331 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: people needed to do something big to have the ability 332 00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,880 Speaker 1: to move off of Tebow. So what did they do. 333 00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 1: They went and got Peyton Manning, right, like, maybe that's it. 334 00:16:17,400 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 1: Maybe it's if we're gonna move off of Tua, it 335 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 1: needs to be with a big swing, and maybe that 336 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:24,840 Speaker 1: big swings Aaron Rodgers. They were in the market for 337 00:16:24,880 --> 00:16:27,640 Speaker 1: Deshaun Watson, so it's not impossible. The one question I 338 00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:29,480 Speaker 1: would have is how much it appeals to Aaron to 339 00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: go there. But if you're saying you're bringing Davante Adams 340 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:35,000 Speaker 1: with you, maybe that's the caret. I still think like 341 00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: Denver would be the biggest I'm with you on the Broncos. 342 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,560 Speaker 1: I still think that that's the best possibility. I think 343 00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,480 Speaker 1: that's why Nate Hackett has been somebody they've looked into 344 00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: and is now finalist for their head coaching job. I 345 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: also think it's why, you know, in interviewing Dan Quinn, 346 00:16:49,400 --> 00:16:52,480 Speaker 1: another guy they interview was Luke Getsy, the passing game 347 00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 1: coordinator from Green Bay, who I think like would actually 348 00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:58,320 Speaker 1: probably be that was actually probably more of an offensive 349 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: coordinator higher where I think their plan A might be 350 00:17:02,520 --> 00:17:06,280 Speaker 1: Dan Coin as head coach, Luke Getsy, his offensive coordinator 351 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,880 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers coming in as the quarterback safe travels back 352 00:17:09,920 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 1: from Tampa. Albert, thank you, all right, thanks, Dan, appreciate it. 353 00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: That's Albert Breer. It felt like he was kind of 354 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,359 Speaker 1: tapping me on the head and saying, no, that's a 355 00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: cute little little thing. But leave it to the insiders 356 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,280 Speaker 1: here now. I could see, you know, the situation with 357 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,520 Speaker 1: Denver makes the most sense in my opinion. He goes 358 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:31,760 Speaker 1: to the AFC. Green Bay loves draft picks. They don't 359 00:17:31,760 --> 00:17:34,760 Speaker 1: want players. You got draft picks, you got it. I 360 00:17:34,880 --> 00:17:37,960 Speaker 1: think that they're Denver's a sleeping giant, I really do. 361 00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:40,800 Speaker 1: And you got cap room there, and you got forty 362 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: four million dollars, you got some talent there. I could 363 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,360 Speaker 1: see that as a real, real possibility. Yea point. I'm 364 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:51,480 Speaker 1: looking at that cap room list. The Cincinnave Bengals aren't fantastic. 365 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: Shape Burrow and Chase under rookie deals and fifty eight 366 00:17:54,359 --> 00:17:56,480 Speaker 1: million dollars in cap room. If I'm a free agent 367 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 1: offensive lineman, I'm calling the Bengals first, you know what 368 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,479 Speaker 1: I mean? Yeah, they could pick off two offensive linemen 369 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:05,359 Speaker 1: and not even you thought the Capra.

The Packers are now 377 00:18:28,160 --> 00:18:30,720 Speaker 1: the team that has the most regular season wins in 378 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:34,320 Speaker 1: a three years span thirty nine without a Super Bowl appearance. 379 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 1: Rob Demovski of ESPN NFL Nation covers the Packers. He's 380 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,520 Speaker 1: been covering the Packers since nineteen ninety seven. If I 381 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: didn't watch the game, how would you describe it? Ron? 382 00:18:48,640 --> 00:18:53,560 Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers was playoff Aaron Rodgers and the Packers special teams? 383 00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:57,679 Speaker 1: Was the Packers special teams for the last fifteen years? 384 00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:03,280 Speaker 1: Both bad? And you said Rogers was playoff Rogers? Yeah, 385 00:19:03,440 --> 00:19:06,240 Speaker 1: he's that a good thing or a bad thing? Well, damn. 386 00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,920 Speaker 1: Since the super Bowl in twenty ten, and I remember 387 00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,720 Speaker 1: talking to you in the airport in Dallas, find home 388 00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,040 Speaker 1: from that Super Bowl, and I remember us talking about 389 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: the possibility of a dynasty. Well, they haven't even been 390 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: back to the super Bowl, let alone won one. His 391 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,720 Speaker 1: record in sixteen playoff games since the super Bowl is 392 00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:27,919 Speaker 1: seven to nine. I mean, that's the season, or at 393 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,919 Speaker 1: least that's what a season used to be. Right at 394 00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 1: sixteen games, I think that's enough evidence to tell you 395 00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 1: that he's a subpar, sub five hundred postseason quarterback. And 396 00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:40,600 Speaker 1: if you think about it, he's really had like two 397 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:44,439 Speaker 1: great playoff games since then, and that's both the Dallas 398 00:19:44,480 --> 00:19:50,040 Speaker 1: games in fourteen and sixteen. Look, he is a fantastic quarterback. 399 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:52,840 Speaker 1: And if you asked me if I'd rather have him 400 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: or take my chances with an unknown, I would definitely 401 00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,679 Speaker 1: take him. There's no doubt about that. You want to 402 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: be in position to be in the playof But it's 403 00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:04,720 Speaker 1: a little surprising to me that his playoff record and 404 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,959 Speaker 1: performance isn't better than it's been. And I was wondering 405 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:11,159 Speaker 1: about this rob that we keep waiting to hear from Aaron, 406 00:20:11,280 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 1: like does Aaron want to play? Does he want to 407 00:20:13,320 --> 00:20:16,480 Speaker 1: come back, and I'm thinking, aren't the Packers the ones 408 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,280 Speaker 1: in control here? Well, you know, that's a great point. 409 00:20:20,520 --> 00:20:24,280 Speaker 1: I would say forty eight hours ago, I would have 410 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 1: said this is pretty much all Aaron Rodgers decision. In 411 00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:30,840 Speaker 1: the last forty eight hours since that game ended, I 412 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,000 Speaker 1: think the Packers do have to look at it and say, 413 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: is it going to happen here? You know, is it 414 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 1: going to happen with him? Matt Lafloor told us after 415 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,359 Speaker 1: the game, we'd be crazy not to want him back. 416 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,960 Speaker 1: And Matt Lafoor obviously is a part of the decision, 417 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,760 Speaker 1: but he's not the only decision maker. I do think 418 00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:49,679 Speaker 1: that it's still more Rogers called than the Packers, But 419 00:20:49,840 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: I think there's probably some conversations being had across town. 420 00:20:53,800 --> 00:20:58,560 Speaker 1: At twelve sixty five, Lombardi Avenue discussing that exact thing. Yeah, 421 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,160 Speaker 1: because I kept thinking, well, what's he going to cost? You? 422 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: Can you afford Davanta Adams? Is there a part of 423 00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:06,520 Speaker 1: you that do you want to go through this again 424 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,119 Speaker 1: in the offseason or when he shows up at camp 425 00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: or everything else that kind of goes along with him, 426 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,320 Speaker 1: And do you you know if you trade him, let's 427 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: say to Denver, and you get whatever picks for him, 428 00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: decide what you want to do with Davanta Adams. Can 429 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 1: you afford him? I'm just trying to figure out what 430 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,360 Speaker 1: makes the most sense for the Packers. As much as 431 00:21:27,359 --> 00:21:30,960 Speaker 1: you say we can't let Aaron Rodgers walk. This is 432 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:36,080 Speaker 1: a organization that's made tough decisions before, and it's still 433 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:41,160 Speaker 1: Are you in a rebuild? Are you just going to reload? Yeah, 434 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,760 Speaker 1: I don't know that it's a it's a rebuild except 435 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,000 Speaker 1: from for one position, the quarterback position. If Rogers doesn't 436 00:21:47,000 --> 00:21:49,160 Speaker 1: come back. You you heard him say, right, I don't 437 00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: want to be a part of a rebuild. The sound 438 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,440 Speaker 1: like that you didn't hear. The question I asked him 439 00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:57,399 Speaker 1: was do you think if you do come back, that 440 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,240 Speaker 1: you have enough pieces to make a run given the 441 00:22:01,280 --> 00:22:03,920 Speaker 1: fact that, like you said, Davante Adams is a free agent, 442 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:07,959 Speaker 1: given the fact that they've got all these salary cap constraints. 443 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: And Rogers said, so, I don't know, that's a fair question. 444 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,400 Speaker 1: Definitely something I've considered. And I know you're asking about 445 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: it from the Packers standpoint, but from Rogers standpoint, even 446 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:20,400 Speaker 1: he looks at it like maybe we may not have 447 00:22:21,119 --> 00:22:24,240 Speaker 1: enough even if I do come back. So the question 448 00:22:24,359 --> 00:22:26,359 Speaker 1: is how big of a rebuild is it? And I 449 00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,520 Speaker 1: think the answer is in part how good the next 450 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:34,280 Speaker 1: quarterback is or is not. Is Jordan Love the future quarterback? 451 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 1: He will get a chance to be. But at this point, 452 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:41,280 Speaker 1: after two seasons, no one can sit here and say 453 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 1: for sure that he's the guy. Now. At this point 454 00:22:44,119 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 1: with Rogers, I don't know that we could say that either. 455 00:22:46,600 --> 00:22:49,000 Speaker 1: It was in that third season. You remember in OH 456 00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: seven when five got hurt in that game down in 457 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:55,600 Speaker 1: Dallas and Rogers played lights out almost They didn't win 458 00:22:55,640 --> 00:22:58,080 Speaker 1: the game, but they were down big time, and that 459 00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,280 Speaker 1: was the first time I think everybody walked Dotta. They're going, okay, 460 00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,640 Speaker 1: I can see why they drafted Rogers. I can see 461 00:23:04,680 --> 00:23:07,000 Speaker 1: that there's a chance that he might be the next guy. 462 00:23:07,240 --> 00:23:10,800 Speaker 1: We've seen Jordan Love, you know, play obviously a full 463 00:23:10,840 --> 00:23:14,200 Speaker 1: game in Kansas City, play half a game in Detroit 464 00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 1: in that meaningless regular season finale. I don't think there's 465 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,640 Speaker 1: anybody that's willing to say, yeah, I can see it. 466 00:23:20,320 --> 00:23:24,480 Speaker 1: Rob Demovski covers the Packers NFL Nation Packers reporter, and 467 00:23:24,520 --> 00:23:27,639 Speaker 1: he's been covering this team since nineteen ninety seven. You know, 468 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:31,040 Speaker 1: when you put together Farvin Rodgers, I mean we're talking 469 00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:36,720 Speaker 1: three decades and you've got two Super Bowls? Yeah? Is 470 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:42,320 Speaker 1: that just a coincidence? You know? Let me say this, Dan. 471 00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 1: Last year, when the Packers were playing Saints, we had 472 00:23:48,400 --> 00:23:50,679 Speaker 1: one of our editors at ESPN dot com wanted to 473 00:23:50,720 --> 00:23:53,959 Speaker 1: do a story on why Rogers and Breez haven't won 474 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 1: more Super Bowls? And you know what my answer was, 475 00:23:56,600 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: It's really freaking hard to win super Bowls? Like, yeah, yeah, 476 00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,640 Speaker 1: should they have gone more? Like? Do we feel differently 477 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,240 Speaker 1: about the far tenure because at least he got to 478 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,239 Speaker 1: a second one? It didn't win it, right? I mean 479 00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:13,680 Speaker 1: they won in ninety six and lost as a two 480 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:17,399 Speaker 1: touchdown underdog to the alright, sorry two touchdown favorite excuse me, 481 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,960 Speaker 1: to the Broncos. Should we feel better about that than 482 00:24:21,000 --> 00:24:24,399 Speaker 1: we do about Rogers only getting to one? You know, 483 00:24:24,560 --> 00:24:26,320 Speaker 1: you can make that argument, or you can just make 484 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,000 Speaker 1: that argument that they that they didn't get enough out 485 00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 1: of thirty whatever. It is years of incredible quarterback play 486 00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:35,960 Speaker 1: and one of the chances that they're able to the 487 00:24:36,040 --> 00:24:39,960 Speaker 1: same as for another generation of quarterback play. I want 488 00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: you on record so we can bring it back. The 489 00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 1: starting quarterback for the Packers Week one is so let 490 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:54,159 Speaker 1: me just say this. They asked me this and I 491 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:57,040 Speaker 1: think one of the ESPN radio stations like last May, 492 00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:59,040 Speaker 1: and I said, I thought there was less than a 493 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:03,919 Speaker 1: five percent chance. I remember, I'll tell you what I now. 494 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,760 Speaker 1: Like people who I want to come at me and 495 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: mister five percent, say, now, mister five percent, I did. 496 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:15,400 Speaker 1: I just I hate to do this, but I just 497 00:25:15,520 --> 00:25:18,360 Speaker 1: don't know. I thought he was going to be back 498 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,280 Speaker 1: this season. I don't think he's going to be back 499 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,240 Speaker 1: next season. And I'll make it clear like like I'm 500 00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:27,120 Speaker 1: not rooting for one way or another, like it's it's 501 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 1: it's a compelling story either way. And you know, Dan, 502 00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: you can't spell media without me. We want a good story, 503 00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,120 Speaker 1: so you know, whatever the best story is going to be, 504 00:25:37,200 --> 00:25:38,879 Speaker 1: that's that's what I would like to see happen. I 505 00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:41,680 Speaker 1: have no If he comes back, great, If he doesn't 506 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:44,480 Speaker 1: come back, that's fine. Two will tell the story either way. 507 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 1: More likely to retire Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady. Tom Brady, Okay, 508 00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,160 Speaker 1: do you think Rogers is playing somewhere next year? I mean, 509 00:25:55,680 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 1: you know, look, I know I what I said what 510 00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:01,040 Speaker 1: I said about his playoff performance. But man, I mean 511 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,760 Speaker 1: he can still play, right, I mean like he's still 512 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,719 Speaker 1: going to give somebody, whether it's these guys you know, 513 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:11,120 Speaker 1: or Denver Pittsburgh, whoever it may be, he's gonna give 514 00:26:11,200 --> 00:26:14,320 Speaker 1: somebody the chance to make a run. Whether he does 515 00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:15,920 Speaker 1: it or not, you know, that remains to be seen. 516 00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:18,240 Speaker 1: He can still play, and they would trade him to 517 00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:21,000 Speaker 1: an AFC team. They wouldn't allow him to come back 518 00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:23,879 Speaker 1: and haunt him in the NFC. Yeah. Remember in the 519 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 1: summer of eight when they traded they traded Five to 520 00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:30,840 Speaker 1: the Jets. Ted Thompson, the general manager at the time, 521 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: went to Breton, said, I've got a deal with Tampa 522 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,000 Speaker 1: and I've got a deal with the Jets. They're basically 523 00:26:36,040 --> 00:26:38,600 Speaker 1: the same. Which one do you want? And Five says 524 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,679 Speaker 1: I want to go to Tampa. So they sent him 525 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:45,320 Speaker 1: to the Jets. Just send him to the Lions. Then 526 00:26:45,359 --> 00:26:50,480 Speaker 1: he can't haunt you. Yeah, there's that too. Hey, Rob, 527 00:26:50,520 --> 00:26:52,000 Speaker 1: thank you, I know you got a busy day. We 528 00:26:52,040 --> 00:26:55,040 Speaker 1: appreciate you time as always.

I want to play the 548 00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,359 Speaker 1: ending of the Bengals game against the Titans and this 549 00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,200 Speaker 1: is how it sound sounded on the Bengals Radio Network. 550 00:28:02,480 --> 00:28:05,080 Speaker 1: Clark Harris will snap it back to Kevin Hubert for 551 00:28:05,320 --> 00:28:07,879 Speaker 1: the win. The snap the picked out, the swing of 552 00:28:07,920 --> 00:28:14,000 Speaker 1: the right leg, Yeah, it's on its way. H Gooding 553 00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:23,000 Speaker 1: nails bam. That was unbelievable. Fifty four and fifty two guns. 554 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:28,000 Speaker 1: Ud Realisi right there. Well, here's Joe Burrow on. Evan 555 00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:32,840 Speaker 1: McPherson his the kicker. So he was talking to Brandon 556 00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:34,960 Speaker 1: as he was going out to kick. He'd give a 557 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,840 Speaker 1: little warm up swing and he said, it looks like 558 00:28:37,880 --> 00:28:39,720 Speaker 1: we're going to the AFC Championship right before he went 559 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:41,840 Speaker 1: out there to kick it. And when you have a kicker, 560 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:44,880 Speaker 1: I mean, we knew exactly what we had as soon 561 00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: as he walked into the building in camp, and we 562 00:28:48,280 --> 00:28:51,840 Speaker 1: just saw how he carried himself. Let's bring in Evan McPherson, 563 00:28:51,880 --> 00:28:55,040 Speaker 1: the Bengals rookie kicker, the fifty two yard game winner. 564 00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,760 Speaker 1: Feeling pretty confident there on the sideline before that kick, Evan, 565 00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,960 Speaker 1: I would say it was um and I think that's 566 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:04,720 Speaker 1: probably one of the most important things as a kicker 567 00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:08,840 Speaker 1: to have his confidence. M So just to challenge myself 568 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: with something like that was big for me and just 569 00:29:12,080 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: to know, you know, going out there that I had 570 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:16,320 Speaker 1: confidence in myself. My teammates had a confidence in me 571 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: to go out there and hit it all right, So 572 00:29:18,760 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 1: how did you say it to Burrow that I guess 573 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:23,600 Speaker 1: we're going to the AFC title game or the other 574 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:26,000 Speaker 1: guys on this island. How did you How did it 575 00:29:26,080 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 1: come out? Well, it kind of came about just because 576 00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 1: I was I had just taken my last one kicking 577 00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: to the net, and me and Brandon Allen were standing 578 00:29:34,840 --> 00:29:36,920 Speaker 1: by the heater and he was just kind of telling me, 579 00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: you know, you got this, um, You're gonna make it. 580 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,440 Speaker 1: All this stuff and and so Joe um, you know, 581 00:29:42,600 --> 00:29:45,040 Speaker 1: runs to the right, falls down. We take a time 582 00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,160 Speaker 1: out and I'm kind of walking to the field and 583 00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:49,720 Speaker 1: I turned to brand I'm like, well, looks like we're 584 00:29:49,720 --> 00:29:54,880 Speaker 1: going to the AFC Championship game, because I mean, I 585 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:57,280 Speaker 1: didn't want to go into overtime. Honestly, I think our 586 00:29:57,320 --> 00:30:00,280 Speaker 1: team deserves, you know, to end it here. I play 587 00:30:00,320 --> 00:30:02,719 Speaker 1: more football, kind of get rest and kind of get 588 00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:04,400 Speaker 1: ready for the next game. And so that I get 589 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:08,280 Speaker 1: that's the least I could do for You're such a 590 00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,080 Speaker 1: nice guy, you know, the generosity there that you want 591 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:13,040 Speaker 1: to make sure you're you know the starters don't play 592 00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:14,880 Speaker 1: anymore than they need to. Let me go out and 593 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:18,000 Speaker 1: end this thing. Do you watch the kick go through? 594 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,600 Speaker 1: I did not, personally. I watched it, I would say 595 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:28,040 Speaker 1: probably in halfway and then at the halfway point, I 596 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,120 Speaker 1: mean the way the ball was flying, in the way 597 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: it felt off my foot, I kind of knew that 598 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:36,400 Speaker 1: was probably going through. But obviously Clark Harris and Kevin 599 00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:39,200 Speaker 1: Hubert Sapernholder, they watched it a little longer than I did, 600 00:30:39,720 --> 00:30:41,160 Speaker 1: you know, just to make sure it didn't hit the 601 00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:43,320 Speaker 1: quick left turn at the end like it did in 602 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:47,160 Speaker 1: Green Bay. What is the pre snap routine for you? 603 00:30:49,240 --> 00:30:52,040 Speaker 1: I mean presnap routine whenever I when I jog out 604 00:30:52,080 --> 00:30:54,080 Speaker 1: into the field is you know, we kind of get 605 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,560 Speaker 1: the spot on the ground and I kind of have 606 00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: a word with Kevin. I'm like, you know, it's one kick, 607 00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:01,440 Speaker 1: you know, it's just put a good hit on it 608 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: and just start on the right line. It's gonna go through, 609 00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:07,160 Speaker 1: and so you know what I mean, Kevin, We probably 610 00:31:07,200 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 1: have like a little conversation there and take my steps 611 00:31:10,760 --> 00:31:14,400 Speaker 1: back and probably two deep breaths right before I kicked 612 00:31:14,440 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: the ball. And that's kind of what I do any 613 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: defenders yelling at you at that moment, not that I 614 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:25,120 Speaker 1: could hear. I think Clark and the whole line could 615 00:31:25,160 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: probably tell you a lot more than I could do. 616 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,960 Speaker 1: You care if you're you know, frozen, you know they 617 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,840 Speaker 1: freeze you as you get ready to kick. Uh No, 618 00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:36,240 Speaker 1: not really. I think sometimes I think it could be 619 00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:40,920 Speaker 1: an advantage because you know, kickers typically if we hear 620 00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,320 Speaker 1: a whistle, we know we get like a practice kick, 621 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:46,840 Speaker 1: and so it's kind of like a mulligan in golf. 622 00:31:47,160 --> 00:31:48,960 Speaker 1: Let's say you have your practice kick, you miss it, 623 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:52,080 Speaker 1: you get to come back and you know, kind of 624 00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:54,720 Speaker 1: learn from that miss or you make it, You're gonna 625 00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: do the same thing the next kick. And so I 626 00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:58,840 Speaker 1: think it's honestly, it could help a kicker more than 627 00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 1: it could hurt him. What's the distance that you would 628 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: tell coach I'm good from here? Like how far back 629 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: can we go? I think going that way in that situation, 630 00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,920 Speaker 1: I think I think Coach Simmons probably would have been 631 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 1: comfortable from He probably would have been comfortable for like 632 00:32:18,920 --> 00:32:20,920 Speaker 1: fifty seven, but I think I probably would have been 633 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,760 Speaker 1: comfortable from about sixty. I just kind of last play 634 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,960 Speaker 1: of the game. Um, kind of just go for it. 635 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:29,800 Speaker 1: I think probably around sixty yards because we're kind of 636 00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 1: going into a win there, just just a slight win. 637 00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:37,120 Speaker 1: I'm looking at the numbers here, I mean, these are 638 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,080 Speaker 1: these are impressive. You've had eleven field goals of fifty 639 00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 1: yards or more, most by any kickers single year all time. 640 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,920 Speaker 1: You also are eighteen for eighteen on the road this year, 641 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:50,760 Speaker 1: and I think your only missed was an extra point 642 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,400 Speaker 1: on the road. Does that sound right? That's correct? How 643 00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:00,400 Speaker 1: they held you missed the extra point? I couldn't. I mean, 644 00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,800 Speaker 1: I can tell you technically what I did wrong. I 645 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:05,560 Speaker 1: kind of dropped the right shoulder, left my hips open 646 00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: and kind of pushed it out right. But yeah, that 647 00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:10,800 Speaker 1: one hurt because it was in the Vegas game, and 648 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:13,440 Speaker 1: you know, I just came off hitting three fifty yard 649 00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,920 Speaker 1: field goals and then a forty eight or three fifty 650 00:33:16,960 --> 00:33:18,600 Speaker 1: yard field goals. I ate a forty eight yarder in 651 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:22,840 Speaker 1: that game too, and to miss that pat, it really 652 00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:27,480 Speaker 1: hurt me. And from that point out, I was like, man, 653 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,560 Speaker 1: this is the worst feeling ever, I think, just going 654 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:34,000 Speaker 1: into it. Just so I feel like people overthink pats 655 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: a lot, and so just you know, coming back and 656 00:33:36,200 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 1: just being like, you know, it's a pat come on, 657 00:33:38,240 --> 00:33:41,040 Speaker 1: like you're not supposed to miss those, and just kind 658 00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,640 Speaker 1: of locking in on those again. So that one hurt 659 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: for sure. You're from Alabama. Did Alabama recruit you? They 660 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:53,360 Speaker 1: kind of did as a punter. And what was funny 661 00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:55,600 Speaker 1: because j K Scott was on his way out at 662 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: the time and I had their coach kind of weird 663 00:33:58,480 --> 00:34:00,400 Speaker 1: DM and back and forth and he saying, you know, 664 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:03,480 Speaker 1: Jk's leaving, this spot's going to open up. Is this 665 00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:07,160 Speaker 1: something you'd like to pursue? And at the time, I 666 00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:09,840 Speaker 1: was like, I knew I didn't want to punt in college, 667 00:34:09,880 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 1: and you know, I wanted to kick field goals, and 668 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:14,640 Speaker 1: so they never really looked at me for to be 669 00:34:14,719 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: a field goal kicker, just kind of as a punter. 670 00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 1: So I'd say, no, did you leave you left school 671 00:34:21,280 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: early to go bro right? I did that That normally 672 00:34:27,000 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 1: doesn't happen with kickers. Yeah. For me. The way I 673 00:34:32,040 --> 00:34:33,920 Speaker 1: kind of thought about it is, you know, I'm doing 674 00:34:33,960 --> 00:34:36,239 Speaker 1: the same thing here as I was in college. And 675 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: some people might think it's actually easier in the NFL, 676 00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:42,719 Speaker 1: just because the hashes are moved in UM, but I 677 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:46,480 Speaker 1: guess the stage is brighter. Um, but I would say, 678 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,120 Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm doing exactly what I was doing 679 00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,319 Speaker 1: in college. I'm kind of just getting paid for it now. 680 00:34:51,560 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, I'm having a lot more 681 00:34:53,239 --> 00:34:56,520 Speaker 1: fun right now than I really ever have. So why 682 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,080 Speaker 1: do they make it tougher on college kickers with the 683 00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:03,719 Speaker 1: hash marks? I never understood that. I mean, I'm not 684 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:06,000 Speaker 1: really sure why they do it. Um, I don't know 685 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:10,160 Speaker 1: the Uh I guess the stories behind the hashers and 686 00:35:10,239 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: why they're wider in high school and then in college 687 00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 1: than the NFL. I'm not, honestly, I'm not really sure. 688 00:35:16,239 --> 00:35:22,680 Speaker 1: But um, I couldn't tell you honestly, Money Mac, that's 689 00:35:22,719 --> 00:35:26,200 Speaker 1: your nickname. Like I tell people, they can call me 690 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:29,239 Speaker 1: whatever they want. Um, Evan's fine if you want to 691 00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:33,520 Speaker 1: call me Evan, Money, mag, shooter or whatever. Shoot you 692 00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:37,440 Speaker 1: ever heard that one? No, like, well, shoot shooter McGavin 693 00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:40,880 Speaker 1: from like Shooter McGavin. But so Clark Harris Oar Snapper 694 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: actually came up with that one. It was Shooter McPherson. 695 00:35:44,239 --> 00:35:47,360 Speaker 1: I think that was after the Kansas City game, And 696 00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:49,279 Speaker 1: it was funny because I was in the car with 697 00:35:49,440 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 1: Kevin are the putter after the game and he was 698 00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:54,120 Speaker 1: telling me about the nickname, and I was like, oh, 699 00:35:54,200 --> 00:35:59,760 Speaker 1: so it's like um kickoff for show field goals for Doe. Okay, 700 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:04,480 Speaker 1: drive show putfer dough.

Are you checking the weather forecast in Kansas City? Yeah? So, 714 00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: I mean that's we we looked at that, um probably 715 00:36:58,040 --> 00:37:00,920 Speaker 1: before um the Tennessee games. So we just had an 716 00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:02,560 Speaker 1: idea of, you know, what the weather was going to 717 00:37:02,600 --> 00:37:05,120 Speaker 1: be like either in Buffalo or Kansas City if we 718 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:08,719 Speaker 1: were to win, and so I think it's supposed to 719 00:37:08,719 --> 00:37:11,200 Speaker 1: be around thirty thirty five to forty degrees. He's actually 720 00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:14,560 Speaker 1: supposed to be a pretty nice day. Um, wins are minimal, 721 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,200 Speaker 1: I think, and that's kind of rare for Kansas City. 722 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:22,000 Speaker 1: I know, Well, congrats so far. You know, rookies aren't 723 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 1: supposed to be doing this, and you're not old enough 724 00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:26,560 Speaker 1: to know all of the hardship that Bengal fans have 725 00:37:26,719 --> 00:37:31,040 Speaker 1: had for decades in Cincinnati.
