Speaker 8: All right, I'm gonna let you think that all all right,
Speaker 8: I've being Atlanta tomorrow.
Speaker 7: That's how I say do it.
Speaker 2: London, you had an opportunity to go to a lot
Speaker 2: of big schools. Originally you were scheduled to go to
Speaker 2: Ohio State. We know what Ohio State. As far as
Speaker 2: the defensive line, the Bolsa Brothers, Uh, Chase Young, Vernon Goldston,
Speaker 2: they normally have high round draft picks at the D
Speaker 2: line position.
Speaker 3: What went into your decision?
Speaker 2: You flipped and all of a sudden, You're going to
Speaker 2: see you Colorado coach Brian it's very excited about that.
Speaker 2: What went into your decision all of a sudden says,
Speaker 2: you know what I think, see you is the place
Speaker 2: for me.
Speaker 6: Well, it was just, you know, the way that Colorada
Speaker 6: believes in me, and then just the consistency from Colorado.
Speaker 6: You know, Ohio State, you know, especially coach Johnson, and
Speaker 6: I loved him a lot, But at the end of
Speaker 6: the day, it was a business decision for me.
Speaker 7: I had to bet on myself and.
Speaker 6: I feel like it was just a better fit for me,
Speaker 6: betefort for me in Colorado's you know defense, you know,
Speaker 6: with their staff and everything in that nature.
Speaker 7: So that's just the main reason.
Speaker 6: Why I just decided to go ahead and make decisions
Speaker 6: with my family and flip over to Colorado.
Speaker 2: Have you spent any time Warren staff is on that
Speaker 2: staff as an assistant. We know with Saffield, he's the
Speaker 2: first Battle Hall of Fame D tackle, one of the
Speaker 2: premier d tackles in NFL history. Have you spent much
Speaker 2: time talking to South?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 6: Every time, every well, every day I was there, you know,
Speaker 6: we were talking. He's crazy and I love him a lot,
Speaker 6: you know. Yeah, he brings a lot of energy to
Speaker 6: the room, and you know it's that's something I need,
Speaker 6: you know, I need somebody on.
Speaker 7: My back and to get on me when I'm not
Speaker 7: doing what I gotta do.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 2: Coach Brian loved he loved players with swag, and he
Speaker 2: lets guys be themself, you know, celebrate, Hey, celebrate, just
Speaker 2: don't hurt the team. But I want you to be yourself.
Speaker 2: I'm not going to force you to be something that
Speaker 2: you're not. If you play with a lot of emotion,
Speaker 2: you play with a lot of passion as long as
Speaker 2: you're not hurting the team. That is who I want
Speaker 2: you to be.
Speaker 3: Do you do you? Is that how you play?
Speaker 2: Is that one of the things because you see how
Speaker 2: the guys holding up this, the guys doing they having
Speaker 2: seemingly having fun.
Speaker 6: Yeah, no, coury, let me shoot you see it like
Speaker 6: like you see him?
Speaker 3: I thought that was foot locker. Nah, like you see it.
Speaker 5: Like I got that swag, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 6: But but y'all on the field, you know, I got
Speaker 6: my little celebrations. You know, I come out, you know
Speaker 6: how coach Coach prom said, you know he'll good, feel good,
Speaker 6: play good.
Speaker 7: You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: So and they pay good?
Speaker 7: Yeah, yes, Uh go ahead.
Speaker 2: So what are some of the person? What are some
Speaker 2: of the person? Obviously you say you're gonna get there
Speaker 2: the spring, so you're an opportunity. I think you're get
Speaker 2: an opportunity to practice uh in the spring and hopefully
Speaker 2: you know, see what you can do. But what's your goal?
Speaker 2: What's what's the goal for you London? Your freshman year?
Speaker 2: What do you want to accomplish in your first year
Speaker 2: at see?
Speaker 6: You definitely want to you know, come up freshman All American,
Speaker 6: you know, freshman first team or this. You know, I
Speaker 6: just want to be a freshman All American and then
Speaker 6: that's one of my main goals when I get there,
Speaker 6: So you know, work my tail off. You know, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna let close brom him. Know that's what I want
Speaker 6: to do. So I'm work my tail off and you know,
Speaker 6: prove it, and it's prove it to them. You know,
Speaker 6: there's also something there's also some I came my parents
Speaker 6: us there, but you know some goals in a way
Speaker 6: in the weight room that I got to handle to,
Speaker 6: you know, try to get my forty down to you
Speaker 6: know for five, you know to twenty five for he's
Speaker 6: more than thirty times.
Speaker 8: So you know the things I needed I got, you know,
Speaker 8: set my goals for. Yeah, you know what I do.
Speaker 8: Want to congratulate you again. You know, there were other
Speaker 8: schools that you could have chosen, but you're choosing to
Speaker 8: go to Colorado again with a legend and dion and
Speaker 8: one that will allow you to be yourself. And I
Speaker 8: think that's that's very important. And not only are you
Speaker 8: getting a coach, a very very good health head coach,
Speaker 8: but you're getting. You're getting, how do I say it,
Speaker 8: a player's coach, which is very important, especially for the
Speaker 8: younger generation. A coach that can can relate to the
Speaker 8: younger generation, can relate to this era. And not only
Speaker 8: a coach, Dude, you're getting a person like prime Man
Speaker 8: that can also be somewhat of a father figure as well,
Speaker 8: and someone that would help you become a man outside
Speaker 8: of your immediate family.
Speaker 1: And I think that's also a good thing.
Speaker 8: And the fact that he's going to allow you to
Speaker 8: be yourself, I think that's very very important for proud
Speaker 8: to be to be able to understand on how the
Speaker 8: players of this era are able to enjoy them selves
Speaker 8: and express enthusiasm with their play and the passion for
Speaker 8: the game. So, for one, I want to congratulate you,
Speaker 8: and you're gonna have a good time over there, man,
Speaker 8: you want to have a good time. You're get more
Speaker 8: than just a head coach. And you might not understand
Speaker 8: it right now, but you get it on the back
Speaker 8: end what I mean.
Speaker 7: Yes, sir, of course I appreciate that.
Speaker 3: London.
Speaker 2: If you were to compare yourself, who are some of
Speaker 2: the guys in the NFL that you look at and says, Okay,
Speaker 2: I kind of want to patter my game after him ocho.
Speaker 7: Yeah, but not definitely, definitely Michael Parsons.
Speaker 6: You know, I'll watch them a lot, and you know,
Speaker 6: I'm a I would say I'm versatile. You know, I
Speaker 6: can play over over all over the line, and you know,
Speaker 6: and I'll definitely see myself playing the way he plays.
Speaker 6: You know, he listens to mine backer plays, you know,
Speaker 6: on the wide mind you know, and the type vib
Speaker 6: you know, just all over the line.
Speaker 7: So that's just you know, that's my main comparison.
Speaker 2: You know, do you like to stand up or you
Speaker 2: like to put your hand in your dirt? Are you're
Speaker 2: more comfortable with a forty three being down? Like you
Speaker 2: said in the nine bishade seven techniques, uh and the
Speaker 2: three and the three four defense you mentioned it's like
Speaker 2: a five to five, Like damn, you want to be
Speaker 2: a tight defensive being.
Speaker 3: So what you see yourself sliding up and.
Speaker 2: Down the line where if you can find a weak link,
Speaker 2: that's the door handle you want to pull on.
Speaker 6: Of course, you know anyone online, you know, because like
Speaker 6: I said, I'm versatall, you know, anywhere anywhere they need me,
Speaker 6: I'll be there. So I'm I'm good, standing up and good,
Speaker 6: you know, coming up to the three point stance.
Speaker 7: So a lot of nine, five, five the three anywhere.
Speaker 7: So that's laugh.
Speaker 3: Coach Prime.
Speaker 2: Also he also like, he's like, look, obviously, if these
Speaker 2: guys come here and some of them have aspirations to
Speaker 2: go into the next level, and I want that to happen.
Speaker 2: But I want to create great men. I want to
Speaker 2: create great fathers. I want to create great husbands. I
Speaker 2: want to create great community leaders. Academics is something that
Speaker 2: he's stressed. What will you have you decided on a major?
Speaker 7: Yeah, probably make business and finance.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's that's that's that's good.
Speaker 2: You know hand you handle your business and then your
Speaker 2: the finances to take care of themselves and you know
Speaker 2: where your money is going.
Speaker 3: You mentioned your mom.
Speaker 2: You mentioned your mom and dad and how they they
Speaker 2: pushed you and they motivated you to become the best
Speaker 2: version of London that you could possibly come.
Speaker 3: Talk a little bit about your parents.
Speaker 6: Well, every ever since I was little, my parents, you know,
Speaker 6: instilled greatness and to me, my dad has been everywhere.
Speaker 7: You know, he's spent My parents spent so much money.
Speaker 7: They sacrificed so much things.
Speaker 6: They sent me to IMG you know my junior like
Speaker 6: at the beginning or half quick my junior year, you know,
Speaker 6: so I can get ready and developed for college. And
Speaker 6: I'm not gonna you know, that's a that's kind of
Speaker 6: a big move because I'm not home. You know, it's different.
Speaker 6: It's like I'm Marty in college. But at the end
Speaker 6: of the day, it's about you know, my development mind,
Speaker 6: you know, and me being ready for the next level. So,
Speaker 6: you know, Dad, he pushed me so I was a
Speaker 6: little kid always now and then that even farther. So
Speaker 6: he tells me. One thing I like about you know,
Speaker 6: Coach Prime. He you know, he always says he will
Speaker 6: keep it one hundred with you. He will tell you
Speaker 6: what you're doing is right or wrong. That's the same
Speaker 6: thing my dad has been doing since I was a
Speaker 6: little kid.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 7: He's been telling me, you know, everything I don't want
Speaker 7: to hear and everything I need to hear.
Speaker 6: So he's just he's not gonna you know, baby me
Speaker 6: or tell me, oh, you had a pretty good game.
Speaker 7: Now if I had a bad game, will tell me
Speaker 7: I had a bad game and.
Speaker 6: What I need to work on. So definitely I appreciated
Speaker 6: both of my parents. You know, my mom's there. My
Speaker 6: mom helps me with the school part. My mom don't play,
Speaker 6: but the school work, you know, so they like a
Speaker 6: lot they like how you know, coach Brian doesn't play
Speaker 6: around either, because you know, while we while we was there,
Speaker 6: were kind of like a day in life thing there,
Speaker 6: you know, like a day being a buff, you know,
Speaker 6: and he randomly, you know, puts up people's grades on the.
Speaker 7: On the on the board or whatever. So yeah, so
Speaker 7: my mom, my mom, well my mom already owned me,
Speaker 7: but my grade, you.
Speaker 6: Know, so she likes that, and so she now she
Speaker 6: ain't gonna worry about, you know, me slacking in school whatever.
Speaker 8: Because yeah, hey, is is there a specific team that
Speaker 8: you like in the NFL. I'm not saying where you
Speaker 8: want to go, but I'm just saying right now, as
Speaker 8: far as watching the game of football, do you have
Speaker 8: a specific favorite team and a favorite player?
Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be your position, just in general.
Speaker 7: Now, I don't really have like a favorite team. I'm
Speaker 7: just kind of.
Speaker 6: Watching players, you know, I like, I like washing the Ravens,
Speaker 6: but my favorite, like my favorite player is Michael Parson.
Speaker 6: Right now, I just I watch him so much, and
Speaker 6: I just modeled my game after so much. So that's
Speaker 6: just kind of who my favorite player is right now.
Speaker 6: But I like watching it. I don't really like watching
Speaker 6: the Orbons.
Speaker 1: So outside of Michael Parsons, how do you feel about
Speaker 1: Miles Garrett and T J. Watt?
Speaker 5: Oh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, no, they're both very good.
Speaker 6: Miles Garrett he's expresontal too. He's strong, you know, he
Speaker 6: heavy handed. I would if I would like take some
Speaker 6: isshooes for him, I would say our hand like I
Speaker 6: our hands are you similarly?
Speaker 5: Now?

Speaker 2: you want to break tonight on Nightcap.
Speaker 3: The floor is yours.
Speaker 9: I definitely have some exciting news. But I want to
Speaker 9: thank a few people. First, first and foremost, thank God.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 9: I want to thank my parents for being there for
Speaker 9: me every step of the way, sacrificing so much. I
Speaker 9: want to think my family and uncles, aunts, cousins, all
Speaker 9: of them.
Speaker 5: I also want to.
Speaker 9: Thank Reubin Carter, George Bailey for helping me get to
Speaker 9: who I am. Him training wise, and my coaches from AMZ.
Speaker 9: I also want to think that coach it's local the
Speaker 9: state for you know, respecting my decision, understanding that relationship
Speaker 9: being built has been really strong. But at the end
Speaker 9: of the day, like I'm said, it's a business decision.
Speaker 9: So without further to do, I'll be taking my talent
Speaker 9: to University of Colorado.
Speaker 3: That's what's something bad. Congratulations made.
Speaker 2: Y'all must have had a heck of a defense that
Speaker 2: had you on one side, London on the other.
Speaker 3: I'm I'm reading your bio.
Speaker 2: Here your defensive en defensive tackle, but you played a
Speaker 2: lot of other positions. You played tight end in high school,
Speaker 2: so obviously you go got great hands. What made you
Speaker 2: flip to the other side of the football, because if
Speaker 2: you're tight end, you like you know, touchdowns and ed
Speaker 2: the crowd screaming and all and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: did you grow out of the position or you just
Speaker 2: felt better hitting people as opposed to getting hit def
Speaker 2: it's a player, Alex. If you don't mind us asking,
Speaker 2: you mentioned that Oklahoma State. You originally had committed that
Speaker 2: you were going to go to Oklahoma State and then
Speaker 2: you last minute you changed your mind, and you flipped
Speaker 2: to go to see you. What was some of the
Speaker 2: things that went into your decision that caused you to say?
Speaker 2: You know, obviously you had a strong liking for Oklahoma
Speaker 2: State because you originally committed to them, and then all
Speaker 2: of a sudden you change, you know, your reverse field,
Speaker 2: and then you go to see you. What was some
Speaker 2: of the things What was the major thing that made
Speaker 2: you change your mind?
Speaker 5: Sir? You know the obvious is it's hard to pass
Speaker 5: up all those.
Speaker 9: Guys that have been where you want to go, and
Speaker 9: I think that's the best thing to help me get there.
Speaker 9: You know, the guys that have been there, done what
Speaker 9: you want to do, and they know what it takes.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I like that.
Speaker 8: What do you think you would bring to Colorado's program
Speaker 8: that along for coaches prime vision and what he's trying
Speaker 8: to accomplish and having a consistent winning program at Colorado.
Speaker 9: I know it talks a lot about off the field character,
Speaker 9: which I have a great character off the field, very humble,
Speaker 9: you know, to myself on the field, strive for greatness.
Speaker 9: You know they helped that too, so I'm always signed
Speaker 9: for greatness. I got a great character on off the field.
Speaker 9: It's a very different character on the field than there
Speaker 9: is off the field.
Speaker 2: So right, what can what can the student body, what
Speaker 2: can the alumni? What can the community of see you
Speaker 2: bowl to Colorado? What can they expect to get out
Speaker 2: of aleage McPherson.
Speaker 9: The great player that's always going to do his best
Speaker 9: to help the team win. Off the figure, you know,
Speaker 9: I'm always open to.
Speaker 5: Leading people, talking to them.
Speaker 9: You know, I'm really just like a chill guy off
Speaker 9: the field. I'm not the same guy off the field.
Speaker 5: You know. You see these kids like be Conci or whatever,
Speaker 5: and I want to talk to people that's not me.
Speaker 1: I like it. Listen, I know what you got to No, no,
Speaker 1: go ahead.
Speaker 8: Yeah see, I know what your long term goal is,
Speaker 8: obviously Colorado being a stepping stone to get to the highest,
Speaker 8: the highest level, which I'm sure the childhood dream of yours.
Speaker 8: But what are your short term goals as far as
Speaker 8: Colorado goes?
Speaker 1: Once you get to school?
Speaker 9: You know, again, like one just saying I want to
Speaker 9: be on the field early freshmen all American is in
Speaker 9: my mind, and you want to get bigger, faster and
Speaker 9: stronger to you know, give me to that next level.
Speaker 8: I like, I have one question as far as nutrition
Speaker 8: is concerned. Do you eat McDonald's. That's very important when
Speaker 8: it comes to being successful.
Speaker 5: If there's late night and nothing else is open McDonald's,
Speaker 5: let's good.
Speaker 8: That's talking about freshman All American coming right now. I'm
Speaker 8: telling you boys.
Speaker 5: Like basketball.
Speaker 2: I'm looking at your bio ad like you're sixty three,
Speaker 2: two hundred and sixty pounds, and I'm looking at some
Speaker 2: of the guys that that are that plays in the league,
Speaker 2: the level that you want to get to. Who are
Speaker 2: some of the guys that you kind of patter of
Speaker 2: your game after and says, you know what, I kind
Speaker 2: of want I kind of want to model my game after.
Speaker 9: Here, sir, I've heard a lot of comparison of Max Crosby,
Speaker 9: like the way we play.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I don't really like.
Speaker 9: To compare myself to people to other people, you know,
Speaker 9: because everybody's a different person.
Speaker 5: But I mean Max think is my closest comparison.
Speaker 8: Okay, let's let's let's go away from comparison players that
Speaker 8: play your position that's in the NFL. Is there someone
Speaker 8: that you look you look up to or you kind
Speaker 8: of maudio game after and not compare I'm not not comparing.
Speaker 8: I'm just saying some of you mighty a game after
Speaker 8: and look up to as far as someone like you,
Speaker 8: if there was a player that you want to be
Speaker 8: like or maybe even better, even better than who is?
Speaker 5: I like Max Cosby is a high motive.

Speaker 2: things Alex when you when you went on your visit
Speaker 2: to see you, what were some of the things that

Speaker 9: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: Obviously, I'm sure you had conversation. I asked London about Sap.

Speaker 2: ever played in that game. He played at a high
Speaker 2: level for a very very long time. He was a
Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year, he was an All Decade player,
Speaker 2: and obviously he's a member of the Pro Football Hall
Speaker 2: of Fame.

Speaker 2: one of the great half of the second half. Was
Speaker 2: as good as he could possibly throw it. The plays
Speaker 2: that he made outside of the pocket, the way he
Speaker 2: threw the ball from the pocket, and he had a
Speaker 2: couple of drops in there to Ojoe, but that he
Speaker 2: was undeterred.
Speaker 5: He ran.
Speaker 2: Now, it wasn't smart that you try to get slick
Speaker 2: and try to you know, stop on the diamond cut
Speaker 2: back when you're going on the bounds.
Speaker 3: Hit him in the knee, gone out of bounds. Don't
Speaker 3: don't ay.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna let you get away with that, cause
Speaker 2: they saw what Patrick Mahomes did and they saw guys
Speaker 2: fooling before, so they're gonna punish you if they get there.
Speaker 2: So just gone out of bounds. But uh, it was
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams got sacked, O joe. When he got sacked,
Speaker 2: it was thirty three seconds on the clock. They have
Speaker 2: a time out one, it's about they got one. It's
Speaker 2: about to be third down. Take your time out. Now,
Speaker 2: you got thirty three seconds.
Speaker 3: Oh joe.
Speaker 2: Even if you don't get it, Even if you don't,
Speaker 2: you still got fourth down. How do you go from
Speaker 2: thirty three seconds and you keep your time out and
Speaker 2: you want run only one play with thirty three seconds,
Speaker 2: because if you complete the ball in bounds, oh yoe,
Speaker 2: you should be able to run your field goal unit
Speaker 2: on the field, get your other players off the field
Speaker 2: right with eighteen seconds? Yeah, they had so even a
Speaker 2: play only last what five to six? Let's just say,
Speaker 2: for the sake of bargament, O Joe, we're gonna say
Speaker 2: the play last ten seconds.
Speaker 3: Kayler Williams grabbled around. It took him ten seconds.
Speaker 2: You still have twenty three seconds to get your field
Speaker 2: goal uniton on the field to get your other guys
Speaker 2: off the field. That's more than a leugh time to
Speaker 2: get the balls now, get it held, get it down
Speaker 2: and get a kick up.
Speaker 5: Huh.
Speaker 8: Honestly, and I mean no disrespect. I'm all for people
Speaker 8: having a job. I think it's very important to have
Speaker 8: a job. But that was coach of mal practice. Not
Speaker 8: only that was coach of mal practice. I think he
Speaker 8: must have been betting against the odds out there and
Speaker 8: got damn Vegas for not calling that goddamn time out.
Speaker 1: You know that is a fireable offense. And I'm understanding
Speaker 1: there's a stand on my soap.
Speaker 8: I can say that someone should be fired, but for
Speaker 8: them to have lost the last five I think, but
Speaker 8: five or six games, and this is a game that
Speaker 8: you had an opportunity to do or at least time
Speaker 8: and go into overtime and see what you could do
Speaker 8: in overtime.
Speaker 1: I can't believe, you know coach did that that he
Speaker 1: didn't call the time.
Speaker 8: And also on Kayler Williams, understand you have to have
Speaker 8: better clock management in your head if your coach is
Speaker 8: not on point the way he should be and really
Speaker 8: being on top of the time and how much time
Speaker 8: you have left. Kayler Williams, as a player who's played
Speaker 8: at the big level out out there at USC, you
Speaker 8: should understand how much time is on the clock and
Speaker 8: what you need to do in those situations to make
Speaker 8: sure it doesn't happen again. So this is, for one,
Speaker 8: the coach you should already know. You should already know
Speaker 8: this is coaching malpractice. For Kayla Wims, this is a
Speaker 8: situation if it ever comes up again. Doing your tenure
Speaker 8: in the NFL, understand clock management and how important it
Speaker 8: is to give your team a chance to either tie
Speaker 8: or win a game.
Speaker 1: That's a bunch of bullshit.
Speaker 2: Man, keenan Allen says something very interesting. Oh yeah, that's
Speaker 2: what he said.
Speaker 1: It was a good shot.
Speaker 2: No wait, which queenan Allen said, as players, we played
Speaker 2: well enough to win this game.
Speaker 1: That's a good shot.
Speaker 8: Think about what he's saying, Think about the underlying tone
Speaker 8: and what he's saying.
Speaker 2: Look, if I'm mad Ierbraflus, if I'm ebra Flus, oh yo,
Speaker 2: I would have just took to fine and I'm not
Speaker 2: talking to the media after that. Because then he gets
Speaker 2: up there and says that bullgive that we got what
Speaker 2: we wanted and I'm good with it.
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous. You sound foolish.
Speaker 2: It sounds like a man that know he mad made
Speaker 2: a mistake and want to down that hill instead.
Speaker 3: Of say god, that's on me. That's on me.
Speaker 2: I should have called a time out with thirty three seconds.
Speaker 2: How you run one plate with thirty three seconds. It's
Speaker 2: absolutely a fireable offense. And I've never advocated for anyone
Speaker 2: to lose their job, because I understand how precious jobs are.
Speaker 2: But you can't continuously make the mistakes that he's making
Speaker 2: and remain in that position and then come out there
Speaker 2: and give those bull jive excuses or those bulljive answers
Speaker 2: to why it's played out.
Speaker 3: It's too many times.
Speaker 2: There's a current theme that if you notice Ocho, anytime
Speaker 2: they put a receiver in, it's always a new receiver in.
Speaker 2: It's always somehow the ball find it, or they put
Speaker 2: a new DV in. Somehow the ball always goes his way.
Speaker 2: You're watching in baseball, if the ball somehow always will
Speaker 2: find him. Basketball, a new guy comes in, somehow the
Speaker 2: ball it damp. We want the ball to in if
Speaker 2: your hands with the last second, but day here we are.
Speaker 2: It keep coming down, o choe to plays like this
Speaker 2: when you have to understand the situation that your team
Speaker 2: is in and you have to make split second decisions.
Speaker 2: He let his team down more times than not.
Speaker 8: Yeah, most definitely listen and decision makes like that is
Speaker 8: the difference between not winning not losing the past five games, Yes,
Speaker 8: the seconds like that.
Speaker 5: Listen.
Speaker 8: It's a game of inures, it's a game of interest,
Speaker 8: and the coaching is one of the reasons why teams win.
Speaker 8: That's what do you think the difference is in the
Speaker 8: d Lions before Dan Campbell got there and the Detroit
Speaker 8: Lions while he is there.
Speaker 1: That's coaching. That's coaching. That's all.
Speaker 8: It comes down to, being able to execute the players.
Speaker 8: I know some of it is on the players, but
Speaker 8: also the coaching. It has to it has to come
Speaker 8: together and work as one. But you can't be coaching
Speaker 8: like that, you know that and having a situation like
Speaker 8: that and want to say the excuse you use and
Speaker 8: not take accountability. How you think your players feel? Yeah,
Speaker 8: like listen to what Keenan Allen said. Players don't normally
Speaker 8: react to a game like that and don't coach under
Speaker 8: the bus. There's a disconnect. There's a complete disconnect.
Speaker 1: In the locker room.
Speaker 3: Ain't no disconnect.
Speaker 2: They don't They've lost confidence in their head coach because
Speaker 2: the thing is with situation the football, you have to
Speaker 2: practice certain certain situations. You have to practice fourth down,
Speaker 2: you have to practice two minutes, you have to practice
Speaker 2: no huddle, you have to practice being in a certain situation.
Speaker 2: So therefore, if you're in that situation, you'll know how
Speaker 2: to respond. We practiced running the field goal unit on
Speaker 2: the field. We're getting off the field and it's with
Speaker 2: eighteen seconds, So we practiced certain situations. Get out of bound,
Speaker 2: make sure you try to get the ball to the official.
Speaker 2: Don't aid all that. Don't throw the ball because hey,
Speaker 2: look they're not receivers, they're old. Hand them the ball. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I just don't get it. And like I said, I don't,
Speaker 2: I don't. Jimmy Johnson said and said, in seventy years
Speaker 2: of being around coaching, he's never seen the level of
Speaker 2: dysfunction that the Bears have right now. And I can't
Speaker 2: say that I disagree with it. It is because it's
Speaker 2: a recurring If oh Joe, it's week after week. I
Speaker 2: can see if it's a one time thing, O Joe,
Speaker 2: that's an accident.
Speaker 1: Right, But this is you know, you know what else.
Speaker 8: And on top of and speaking on top of what
Speaker 8: Jimmy Johnson said, he says, you've never seen any kind
Speaker 8: of dysfunction.
Speaker 1: No, it's just not this year. It's just not this year.
Speaker 8: You're trying to change the culture and Chicago in general.
Speaker 8: The culture, the winning coature of Chicago has been going
Speaker 8: for a very long time. It's been going for a
Speaker 8: very long time. And being able to content and compete
Speaker 8: year and in year out on a consistent basis. All
Speaker 8: that starts at the top and in the middle. It
Speaker 8: starts for the coach and then it lingers into the players.
Speaker 7: So until you.
Speaker 8: Get that that middle ground the right way, everything else
Speaker 8: is going to falter.
Speaker 1: And it starts with little shit like today.
Speaker 8: It might be little, you know, because it's one game,
Speaker 8: but it affects the entirety of a season because bad
Speaker 8: decisions will continue to be made.
Speaker 2: Oh, Joe, I don't know what they said, but normally
Speaker 2: when we went we go on the field, especially it's
Speaker 2: the last drive. We got two timeouts, we got one timeout,
Speaker 2: we got no time out. If you can get the
Speaker 2: ball out of bounds, all things being equal, we'll take
Speaker 2: a five yard game and get out of bounds as
Speaker 2: opposed to a ten yard game and not get out
Speaker 2: of bounds. So we've already we've already gone through situations
Speaker 2: that we could potentially see in a game. Yeah, because
Speaker 2: there's only one way to handle the situation.
Speaker 3: It's just like everything else.
Speaker 2: But Joe, you practice first down, you practice second down,
Speaker 2: you practice third down, you practice goal lighting, red zone. Okay,
Speaker 2: there are certain certain situations now now you can't practice everything,
Speaker 2: oh Joe, But hopefully you played football long enough, you'll know.
Speaker 2: With thirty three seconds and you gotta time out after
Speaker 2: a sight, you automatically take a time out.
Speaker 3: I don't know what Ebau was even thinking.
Speaker 1: The funny thing about.
Speaker 3: The first thing you do because the fisher was standing
Speaker 3: right there by.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, And that's the.
Speaker 3: Side judge you right, hey, timeout.
Speaker 1: And the funny thing about it is is you coulda ran.
Speaker 1: You coulda ran. You coulda ran that play right now.
Speaker 1: You coulda called that.
Speaker 8: Time out, ran another play. And I'm not sure what
Speaker 8: your signal was, uncle, where the special team is already
Speaker 8: ready and we used to yell fire fire fire fire,
Speaker 8: yps hurry hurries up. There's enough time on the time
Speaker 8: on o'clock. You come out and you kick the field goal,
Speaker 8: and hopefully before the clock hit zero, you have them
Speaker 8: execute that field goal and tie the game and take
Speaker 8: it into overtime and then boom, now you got a
Speaker 8: fresh start and hoping you can get down there and score.
Speaker 8: That's even ball gaming at that point. But you don't
Speaker 8: even the god damn chance.
Speaker 2: And they had the momentum. They had played extremely well
Speaker 2: last or yesterday. They had the momentum in the ball game.
Speaker 2: I thought Detroit got away from running the football. And
Speaker 2: there's another Oh Joe, at some point in time, you're
Speaker 2: gonna have to stop making excuse for Jameson William. You
Speaker 2: gotta stop. You've got to stop making excuses for it.
Speaker 2: Of the fumble, No, that's Gibb the hitting the guy
Speaker 2: in the face with the football that's standing on the sideline.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah, he almost cost his team.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2: That's the kind of sea that's the kind of the immaturity.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out. What could the guy possibly
Speaker 2: on the sideline? Bro, Why you talking? You not even
Speaker 2: in the game. Let that sink in for a second.
Speaker 2: You not even in the game, and you talking right,
Speaker 2: Get in the game first, and then I'll address you.
Speaker 2: He ain't addressing nobody on the sideline. What made it
Speaker 2: even more egregious is that it was after the play,
Speaker 2: so the dind already counted, so now they back you
Speaker 2: up fifteen yards. And then he gets to the sideline
Speaker 2: and he's arguing with Antoine Randall Ell trying to explain.
Speaker 3: What he did.
Speaker 2: Bro shut up, there's no offer with no explanation, and
Speaker 2: the words of the great Billy Holliday hunch, I don't explain.
Speaker 3: What are you trying to?
Speaker 1: Hey, in a great version, who whatsoul? Nobody Billy Holliday.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to figure out. I'm trying to figure out.
Speaker 2: Oh yo, what's his explanation? Everybody saw what you did.
Speaker 2: He said something. You turned and flipped the ball in
Speaker 2: his face. You lucky here run and put his foot
Speaker 2: in your hands.
Speaker 8: Yeah, hey, I got a question for you. Now that
Speaker 8: we're talking to the Bells, I understand what Jamis and Williamson.
Speaker 8: Did you know I'm gonna talk to the young Bull.
Speaker 8: I got young Bull. I got Young Bull on the
Speaker 8: line too, So I'm gonna talk to you. You know,
Speaker 8: you know you can't do that. You can't cost your team,
Speaker 8: especially as well as y'all are doing right now. But
Speaker 8: what you think about chat y'all? Tell me what y'all
Speaker 8: think that. What you think about Bill Belichick to the Bears.
Speaker 8: I think wherever Bill Belichick goes, as long as they
Speaker 8: have a defense and a quarterback that you can work with.
Speaker 8: Kayler Williams is a quarterback that you can work with.
Speaker 8: He's someone that you can win with based on his
Speaker 8: skill set and what he can do. What do you
Speaker 8: think what I'm gonna do on two on Wednesday when
Speaker 8: we do Inside the NFL, I'm gonna bring it up
Speaker 8: on the show. Bill, What do you think about your
Speaker 8: opportunity and having a coaching job in Chicago.
Speaker 1: There's a defense, a very.
Speaker 8: Very adequate defense that you can work with one of
Speaker 8: the better corners in the league in Jalen Johnson, Who's
Speaker 8: that's my little nephew. You got a quarterback that you
Speaker 8: can develop in mold and understanding what it takes to win.
Speaker 8: I mean, who says no to that? Then you have
Speaker 8: an organization that's gonna give you the keys.
Speaker 1: They're gonna give you.
Speaker 8: The keys because you have an understanding of what it
Speaker 8: takes to win, what it takes the Bill a winning
Speaker 8: team here, you got six STEMN Super Bowls. You also
Speaker 8: you want to go get that that that that that
Speaker 8: coaching record from Don Shue. You want to break that
Speaker 8: right now, Boom you have over this. They're gonna get
Speaker 8: the keys and allow you to build a team. You
Speaker 8: need the build to be able to contend and compete
Speaker 8: in the NFC.
Speaker 1: Why not take it?
Speaker 2: Yeah, because that that that division ain't coming back. That Uh,
Speaker 2: this is what this is what even flews uh when
Speaker 2: he addressed after the game, is that I hope was
Speaker 2: that we re racked that play at eighteen second, throw
Speaker 2: it in bounds, get into field goal range, and then
Speaker 2: call our final time out. You see, Ojo, he doesn't understand.
Speaker 2: You don't need to call it time out with eighteen seconds,
Speaker 2: that's more than enough time. You get your field goal
Speaker 2: on and off the That was where we were, and
Speaker 2: our and our decision making process on that we were
Speaker 2: outside of the field goal range no jive sherlock and
Speaker 2: needed to get a few more yards in there as
Speaker 2: a closer we can get. Uh, we're going to call timeout.
Speaker 2: That's why we held the last time. So in other words,
Speaker 2: now you going the next week, you got four timeouts
Speaker 2: in the first half. Oh no, you can't use that
Speaker 2: time out. Disappointed for our players. They put a lot
Speaker 2: of work on and on a short week and put
Speaker 2: themselves in position to win that game.
Speaker 3: They did, and you denied them back.
Speaker 2: That part you got right on a short week, our player,
Speaker 2: we didn't play the best first half, but we played
Speaker 2: in our standing second half, and we put ourselves in
Speaker 2: position to win the game. And my bone headed played,
Speaker 2: my bone headed situational awareness cost our team a game.
Speaker 2: More games are loss than one in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Exhibit A.
Speaker 2: I'd like to I would like to present this your honor,
Speaker 2: Exhibit eight of how games are lost.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't get it. I don't. I don't. I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't get how.
Speaker 2: He continuously finds himself if you notice, O Joe, like
Speaker 2: I said, when you make bone head plays, somehow, you
Speaker 2: always find yourself in that situation week after week until
Speaker 2: you correct it, until you rectify said situation.
Speaker 3: BRO, call the time out, O Yo, call the time out.
Speaker 2: You could run, like I said, I if the play
Speaker 2: only cost you eight seconds, I gave you ten on
Speaker 2: the long end. Hopefully Caleb understands that you can't run around.
Speaker 2: But I just I don't. I don't get it. And
Speaker 2: I said it in real time. I was like, what
Speaker 2: is he thinking? What the hell was he thinking? Why
Speaker 2: would you not call the time out with thirty three
Speaker 2: seconds left?
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 8: Every everybody said the same thing. Out again, it's coach
Speaker 8: are mal practice. It makes me think he had money
Speaker 8: on the game to do something like that, to not
Speaker 8: even give your change, your team a chance to win,
Speaker 8: especially with what you've been through weekend and week out,
Speaker 8: with the losing, the close games, the games you played well.
Speaker 1: I mean, like, come on, man, give yourself a chance.
Speaker 8: There are multiple scenarios when you're down in that situation
Speaker 8: that should already be gone and be playing in your head,
Speaker 8: not just the one you explained at the god damn podium.
Speaker 8: There are multiple scenarios that you you play on Okay,
Speaker 8: what do I need to do? Split decision, fast decision making?
Speaker 8: You know, if you don't have it, then your quarterback
Speaker 8: got to have it. But your quarterback is supposed to
Speaker 8: be learning from you. So if you ain't got it
Speaker 8: and you the head man, nigga, he's supposed to know it,
Speaker 8: but definitely to hear no there Caleb will know and
Speaker 8: have a better understanding of.
Speaker 1: Time, you know, and how much time you have to use.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 8: As he gets older, and a little bit more mature
Speaker 8: in the NFL and understanding.
Speaker 2: To him, let him know he we got one time
Speaker 2: about Klee. So hey, if you get sacked, don't be
Speaker 2: afraid to Let's not be afraid to use that time out. Yeah,
Speaker 2: the Lions knocks their first Thanksgiving win in eight years.
Speaker 2: Jared Graff threw two touchdown the sam La Porter Golf
Speaker 2: twenty one to thirty four to twenty one, two touchdown,
Speaker 2: while the Detroit ground game, led by Montgomery and Gibbs,
Speaker 2: ran for one hundred and ninety four yards on thirty
Speaker 2: seven carries. Yeah, they look they got I mean that first.
Speaker 2: That third quarter went by so quick. It was like
Speaker 2: Chicago got a possession, scored a touchdown, Detroit got a possession,
Speaker 2: scored a touchdown, and Chicago ran.
Speaker 3: Two more plays and the quarter was over.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so what you needed, because Butchago, the Lions couldn't
Speaker 2: get off the field on third down. On Joe they
Speaker 2: get him in third long, it didn't matter. Caleb Williams
Speaker 2: made some great throws, Guys ran great routes, guys got opened,
Speaker 2: and Detroit couldn't get them out fielding third down, and
Speaker 2: so tik tik tik, you keep your offense off the field.
Speaker 2: Now they get they get out of sync, and the
Speaker 2: next thing you know, Chicago makes this game close. Probably
Speaker 2: should have went overtime at worst case scenario and we
Speaker 2: see what happens in there. But uh, Chicago, the players
Speaker 2: played well enough, but it was their coach that made
Speaker 2: a bone head decision that uh that uh that cost
Speaker 2: them the game.
Speaker 9: Vol
