1
00:00:10,080 --> 00:00:11,440
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know what you're doing there, but

2
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: that's the coolest room ever. Man.

3
00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: It's uh, it's hilarious because all these coaches are like, dude,

4
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 2: why don't you why do you have those helmets up?

5
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 3: Like?

6
00:00:21,239 --> 00:00:22,840
Speaker 4: What makes you decide what helmets up?

7
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:29,560
Speaker 2: Like, dude, I own six helmets. I'm like you, I

8
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,159
Speaker 2: have six. Oh you want to send me one? I

9
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: mean the Kansas Jayhawks and South Alabama helmets in the middle,

10
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:40,839
Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I don't know how many Jayhawk

11
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:43,680
Speaker 2: fans are watching and or South Alabama fans are watching,

12
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:45,199
Speaker 2: but they're good helmets and I only had.

13
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 4: Hey, I got to fill it out somehow.

14
00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:49,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, if I'm being honest, I only noticed the Texas one,

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 5: the Georgia one, the Alabama one, the USC one.

16
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I didn't notice the I gotta.

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,000
Speaker 6: Ask the question, coolest helmet in the game?

18
00:00:57,120 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 4: What is it?

19
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: Uh? Cool? That's a have we started?

20
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're going NFL too, to me, Cincinnati

21
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 2: Bengals are still number one.

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,320
Speaker 4: Hey, that's the best helmet going.

23
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:16,600
Speaker 2: But in college probably miss close call between Michigan SC

24
00:01:18,280 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 2: and Texas those are probably my top three. So you

25
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,600
Speaker 2: like the traditional helmets, I like the throwbacks.

26
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,080
Speaker 4: LSU is up there too. I like LSU A lot.

27
00:01:26,160 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 5: Texas is clean, right. Greg McElroy is with us. We

28
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 5: started already, just so everyone knows, he hates your last name.

29
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:37,120
Speaker 5: By the way, Nemesis, Yes, I was hoping you had

30
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:37,559
Speaker 5: a nickname.

31
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,440
Speaker 1: Do you have a nickname? I call you Mac, I mean.

32
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 4: G mas good. That's what everybody calls me.

33
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:45,560
Speaker 1: G Mac is with us here Statson Company.

34
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 5: He'll be calling the game Friday night with Sean McDonough,

35
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:51,800
Speaker 5: who is going to join us on Friday. By the way,

36
00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:54,920
Speaker 5: calling that game Indiana. I take it on Oregon. If

37
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 5: I told you even three years ago, Greg, that you'd

38
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,440
Speaker 5: be calling a national semi final game with the right

39
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 5: to go to the National Championship and that game would

40
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 5: involve the Indiana Hoosiers, you would have told me what.

41
00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 4: That You're insane?

42
00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 2: Like, I mean, if you look at what they were

43
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:17,720
Speaker 2: prior to Kurt Signetti's arrival, I think people kind of forget.

44
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 4: There were some moments there.

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:21,400
Speaker 2: I think COVID year was a good example. They had

46
00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,160
Speaker 2: a really good year. Like there have been blips on

47
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,399
Speaker 2: the radar in the last decade where they've been all right,

48
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 2: but historically speaking, to expect them to be at this

49
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: level was just not It didn't feel possible, didn't feel likely.

50
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: But I think with how the world's changed and how

51
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,079
Speaker 2: we've now embraced an il, we've embraced all this portal activity.

52
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,480
Speaker 2: Now the margins are very thin across the board having

53
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 2: a coach, it's crazy hyper from an attention detail standpoint

54
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: to see them in the spot as not outrageous. It

55
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 2: really is the guy and Kurtz Signett he's done more

56
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: with less his whole career, taking back to his time

57
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 2: at the D two level, at the FCS level, at

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 2: the lower level D one, and now.

59
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:04,760
Speaker 4: Obviously at the highest levels of the sport.

60
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:08,320
Speaker 2: So I think it gives people hope, but it also

61
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 2: probably misleads.

62
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:14,520
Speaker 5: Because he makes it seem so easy, right, Yeah, I

63
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:17,280
Speaker 5: mean yeah, it's kind of like rookie quarterbacks that just

64
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:19,120
Speaker 5: go out and light the world on fire.

65
00:03:19,520 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 4: They ruin it for everybody else.

66
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, and freshman quarterbacks at that, like Trevor Lawrence ruined

67
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 2: it for every other five star quarterback in college because he.

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 4: Just went out there. It's like this ain't hard.

69
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: Runs a national championship and now everyone's like, why can't

70
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 2: you be more like Trevor Lawrence. It's like, well, there's

71
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 2: one of those guys. So I think it does ruin

72
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 2: it for everybody else. But it does give people hope,

73
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,360
Speaker 2: which is great. Hope is wonderful in college football.

74
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:45,680
Speaker 5: This will shock everyone, including my own staff here. I

75
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 5: did some research on you before you came on here.

76
00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,600
Speaker 5: I know I did, guys, listen three point eighty five GPA,

77
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:56,080
Speaker 5: Master of Science degree in sports management, four point zero gpa.

78
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: Sporting News named him the twentieth smartest athlete on the

79
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,360
Speaker 1: at it. Why are you doing this?

80
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: It's funny that you asked, Like a lot of people

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: have asked me that my dad still is waiting for

82
00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: me to get a real job.

83
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:18,719
Speaker 1: I think as long as possible, y'all know.

84
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,080
Speaker 2: It's like, I can't believe this is my gig. I

85
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 2: can't believe it's my job. I get to talk sports.

86
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 4: I enjoy doing that. It's like I.

87
00:04:28,240 --> 00:04:29,839
Speaker 2: Thought for a while I was going to go into

88
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 2: law school and do all this other stuff, and then

89
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 2: I had BUDDI who went to law school and are miserable.

90
00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 4: It's I love what I do. Why would I do that?

91
00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 4: You know what I mean?

92
00:04:39,360 --> 00:04:40,799
Speaker 1: And I got.

93
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 2: Approached by SMU actually to go to law school while

94
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:47,599
Speaker 2: I was playing and I was in the NFL. I

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:50,720
Speaker 2: was gonna go to law school in the off seasons

96
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:54,400
Speaker 2: and and limp in Dallas and and then play in

97
00:04:54,440 --> 00:04:56,800
Speaker 2: the fall and now OTAs and all this other stuff

98
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,920
Speaker 2: became a little bit challenging from a scheduling standpoint, that like,

99
00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:00,200
Speaker 2: we can work with you, we can figure that out out,

100
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:00,880
Speaker 2: like you're else.

101
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:01,240
Speaker 4: That's good.

102
00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:02,839
Speaker 2: All this other stuff's good, like we want you to

103
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:06,080
Speaker 2: come and be awesome. And I was like in but

104
00:05:06,520 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 2: it Ultimately, I just found that my friends that were

105
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,520
Speaker 2: going through law school were not fulfilled and I I

106
00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,960
Speaker 2: just love what I do. It's this adrenaline rush. Calling

107
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:17,160
Speaker 2: games especially is a little bit like being a drug

108
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 2: addict in a weird way. Like yes, the level of

109
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 2: anxiety and and intensity that you feel in game is

110
00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,320
Speaker 2: just hard to replicate, especially once you played your whole life.

111
00:05:26,960 --> 00:05:29,200
Speaker 5: That list Sporting News naming you twenty if do you

112
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,560
Speaker 5: know the nineteen names ahead of it?

113
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Everyone's every morning.

114
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,600
Speaker 4: Every one of them. It's on the list. It's like that.

115
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 2: It's like the scene with Steve Bishemi in Billy Madison.

116
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 4: I'm just gonna cross them off one at a.

117
00:05:42,120 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 5: Time, you know what I mean, that's what going to Yes.

118
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:46,479
Speaker 5: But so it's simple. So you're doing what you love

119
00:05:46,560 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 5: and your friends were miserable. That's why you're doing this.

120
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 4: Yes, essentially basically.

121
00:05:51,320 --> 00:05:54,160
Speaker 7: Yeah, literally the same thinking when I went to University

122
00:05:54,160 --> 00:05:54,600
Speaker 7: of Florida.

123
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,360
Speaker 1: I left high school, I was like, I'm gonna be

124
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: a lawyer. I got to Florida, I was like that

125
00:05:58,760 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 1: sounds boring.

126
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 7: I'm just going to do this, and here I am

127
00:06:01,520 --> 00:06:02,760
Speaker 7: looking like an idiot wearing.

128
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,080
Speaker 1: Quinn you Weers gear on the podcast.

129

135
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:23,080
Speaker 2: this day the greatest NFL career of all time, what

136
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: like six starts and forty.

137
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 5: One million, Yes, but no one was on the on

143
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,000
Speaker 2: throw it, you can't run it, but you're smart.

Speaker 5: We'll give you that since you chose this path, and

145
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 5: I'm glad you did because you're great at it. I'm

146
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 5: wondering the first time you stepped in a booth with

147
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:53,919
Speaker 5: Sean McDonough, who was a friend of mine and a

148
00:06:53,920 --> 00:06:56,000
Speaker 5: friend of the show. Were you nervous the first time

149
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,080
Speaker 5: walking in there with him, because I'm certain you're familiar

150
00:06:58,120 --> 00:06:58,440
Speaker 5: with his.

151
00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 1: Work, right, Heck, yeah, I was nervous. I don't want

152
00:07:02,480 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: to fuck it up, right, I was freaking out.

153
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 2: I mean, I remember our first game like it was yesterday.

154
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 2: It was North Carolina South Carolina. We were in Charlotte,

155
00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: you know, like all of us, Like I grew up

156
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: a diehard sports fan, like watched the sixth Fox Sports

157
00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:16,080

158
00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 2: like Kenny May and all these guys. And watched the

159
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 2: eleventh Fox Sports Center like every night in my life.

160
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:22,240
Speaker 2: That was the I booke ended my evening with those

161
00:07:22,320 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 2: two shows and lived. Grew up in California, watched Monday

162
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,720
Speaker 2: Night Football, watched Monday Night Live, which is like a

163
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:31,480
Speaker 2: call in show after one night football, like obsessed with sports.

164
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,640
Speaker 2: So I've grown up listening to Sean McDonough, I mean,

165
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:37,200
Speaker 2: and I you know, you never really paid that close

166
00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: attention to the names, but you knew the voices, yes,

167
00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:43,440
Speaker 2: And when I got into this business, I'd always just

168
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,920
Speaker 2: long admired Sean, and I'd always thought to myself, mane,

169
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,240
Speaker 2: it'd be so cool. Like I admired Todd Blackledge too,

170
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:51,760
Speaker 2: who at the time was his partner. Yeah, and I

171
00:07:52,120 --> 00:07:54,000
Speaker 2: kind of modeled the way I tried to call a

172
00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:57,480
Speaker 2: game after Todd. He was probably my biggest influence in

173
00:07:57,560 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 2: the industry and trying to kind of find my voice.

174
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: And so I'd watch a ton of their games and

175
00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there and McDonough's like, over to myself, I

176
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:05,679
Speaker 2: don't want to make eye contact.

177
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:09,120
Speaker 4: That's that's you know, that's not worthy of that. Just

178
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,200
Speaker 4: yet I hear him come on the air, I'm like,

179
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,160
Speaker 4: oh my god, I'm with McDonough.

180
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:15,760
Speaker 1: Level.

181
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: The only thing that would have made me freak out more.

182
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:22,280
Speaker 2: For me, McDonough is in a small group of four

183
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:24,680
Speaker 2: that would I would have panicked had I been alongside

184
00:08:24,760 --> 00:08:29,400
Speaker 2: Brent Musburger, Vern Lunquist, and Keith Jackson, and those would

185
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 2: be the four. To me, it would have been like

186
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:33,760
Speaker 2: this is an out of body experience. And I still

187
00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,200
Speaker 2: kind of feel that way when I hear some of

188
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:35,720
Speaker 2: his calls.

189
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,079
Speaker 5: But you've realized over over the course of time of

190
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 5: getting to know when working with him, that you can

191
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:41,679
Speaker 5: look at him in the eye that he's fine with it,

192
00:08:41,720 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 5: and he's actually pretty funny, right, Like it's.

193
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:48,360
Speaker 2: As long as you're prepared for like the occasional jab,

194
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 2: like he's he's going to hit you, it's going to

195
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,640
Speaker 2: be so subtle the audience won't even pick up on it.

196
00:08:54,679 --> 00:09:00,320
Speaker 2: But like he's is he's got like ninja quality where

197
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 2: it's like I just got punched.

198
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,120
Speaker 4: In the jaw. Yeah, no one else knows, but I

199
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 4: know and I feel it.

200
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 5: Sometimes you don't feel untill like two or three minutes later.

201
00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 2: You know one hundred percent. But it is fun and

202
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 2: we enjoy it, like we've become very good friends. And

203
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 2: that's been kind of kind of neat as well, because

204
00:09:17,520 --> 00:09:19,240
Speaker 2: at first, like he's probably looking at me like this

205
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,000
Speaker 2: young guy doesn't know what the heck he's doing.

206
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:23,679
Speaker 4: Who can blame him for thinking that by the way.

207
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 2: Wait, and now he's like, Okay, this guy's all right,

208
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 2: you know, all right. I'm not sure if I respect

209
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: him yet, but he's getting there.

210
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 4: You know.

211
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,439
Speaker 2: It's been fun to work on the relationship as much

212
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,199
Speaker 2: as it is to kind of work on the broadcast.

213
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 7: So hang on, Greg, do you have any Quinn viewers insight?

214
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:44,480
Speaker 7: Because I'm either right now way ahead of my time,

215
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:46,679
Speaker 7: or look ridiculous, And I can tell you which one

216
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 7: I feel right now.

217
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,520
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I know Quinn well and have been

218
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:54,800
Speaker 2: following him since he was sixteen years old.

219
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:56,000
Speaker 4: Like, he can play.

220
00:09:56,640 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 2: He can play, I've done not a huge arm Is

221
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 2: he an NFL franchise guy. I think there are qualities

222
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 2: that he possesses that can translate for sure. I think

223
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:10,600
Speaker 2: it's gonna need to be a certain system, not that

224
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: dissimilar to the system that they've used with success. I

225
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:15,840
Speaker 2: think he could fit well in that system. But yeah,

226
00:10:15,880 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 2: like I think Quinn will be a successful NFL quarterback,

227
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:20,640
Speaker 2: it just might take a little while to get there.

228
00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:22,200
Speaker 1: I'm going to keep this T shirt then, and the

229
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,080
Speaker 1: hat onto that one.

230
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 2: I'm sure, I'm sure hopefully that went right into the

231
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 2: Quinn yours nil Bank, which he clearly needed a lot

232
00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:28,959
Speaker 2: of help with.

233
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 5: I mean, yours agent for trying out loud listen is

234
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 5: he's familiar with both quarterbacks too as well.

235
00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: Well, I was.

236
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,080
Speaker 7: Gonna say that, like i've sort of, you know, fallen

237
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 7: out of love with Tua. Let's just say, to be kind,

238
00:10:40,120 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 7: do you have any sort of insight, any thoughts on

239
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:43,760
Speaker 7: just sort of the path of his career, the arc

240
00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:45,360
Speaker 7: of his career and see where he is now, is

241
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,320
Speaker 7: there like recovering from from his situation at the end

242
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 7: of the season.

243
00:10:49,040 --> 00:10:50,080
Speaker 4: You know what's disappointing?

244
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 2: Like I love I love to love him personally still

245
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:54,160
Speaker 2: to this day, like one of my favorite guys I've

246
00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:55,959
Speaker 2: ever covered and kind of gotten the note, like he's

247
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,160
Speaker 2: just the coolest guy ever.

248
00:10:57,440 --> 00:10:58,800
Speaker 4: Like have y'all ever been around him?

249
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, Yeah, wonderful guy.

250
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,120
Speaker 2: Yes, unbelieve, Like you just want to hang out with

251
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:04,640
Speaker 2: the guy, like I want to give him a hug,

252
00:11:04,679 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 2: Like he's just the man. So there's an engagement factor

253
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 2: there that's amazing. The thing about two of though, is

254
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:14,320
Speaker 2: when he gets hot, it's like he's lights out, you

255
00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like he is very very dialed

256
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,559
Speaker 2: in processes accurate, gets the ball out, knows where to

257
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 2: go with it, all this sort of stuff. But the down,

258
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:25,800
Speaker 2: like the his bad days are bad days, you know,

259
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,679
Speaker 2: And that's where I think, like I'd love for his

260
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 2: he continues to progress, still a young guy, still.

261
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: Got a lot of football in front of him.

262
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 2: I'd love for those for the not too high for

263
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:36,720
Speaker 2: the highs, too low for the lows. I'd love for

264
00:11:36,720 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 2: the lows to be a little higher, maybe the highs

265
00:11:38,200 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: to be a little higher, so I can have predictability

266
00:11:40,600 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 2: every Sunday when he takes the field.

267
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,719
Speaker 4: So like I love to still to the state. I

268
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 4: think he's going to be a guy for a long

269
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:46,679
Speaker 4: time in the league.

270
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 2: Not that dissimilar to Quinn, like gonna require a specific

271
00:11:50,120 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 2: system because he doesn't have a howlitzer. But I still

272
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,640
Speaker 2: think that there's a lot of good football left in

273
00:11:54,679 --> 00:11:55,000
Speaker 2: two tak.

274
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 7: When you see the lows, is it not reading defense

275
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 7: is right? Is it just inaccuracy on some of the throws.

276
00:12:01,800 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 7: Is it stuff that you can just kind of, like

277
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 7: you say, probably coach out.

278
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: I'm wondering if it's a confidence thing. When he gets low,

279
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: is he loses confident he lacks confidence?

280
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:09,360
Speaker 1: Right?

281
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:11,079
Speaker 4: Well, one thing he's always tried to do.

282
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:12,839
Speaker 2: And I love to afford this because he's a really

283
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 2: really he's kind of one of those guys, a little

284
00:12:14,640 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 2: bit like a duck, Like above the water all looks calm,

285
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:19,360
Speaker 2: but below the water, it's.

286
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 1: Like you know what I mean, it's it's perfect, yes.

287
00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 2: And I think with Tua there's a little bit of

288
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 2: that going on. Like he's way more intensely competitive than

289
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,400
Speaker 2: people realize. So he makes a mistake, and it happens

290
00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:32,040
Speaker 2: early in the game, and you can go back even

291
00:12:32,080 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 2: to his time in college, he can go back to

292
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,520
Speaker 2: his time early in his career. If he makes a mistake,

293
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: he spends the rest of the game trying to overcome

294
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:46,240
Speaker 2: that mistake, in which times it often it grows exponentially.

295
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 2: Like you, he has a hard time, I think, at times,

296
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:53,240
Speaker 2: allowing the mistake to live and be in the past.

297
00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 2: He is constantly trying to overcompensate because he's a great teammate,

298
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,320
Speaker 2: a great guy, great, he's a pleaser, like he wants

299
00:12:59,360 --> 00:13:02,440
Speaker 2: to do right, he wants to do well. I think

300
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 2: sometimes like the best quarterbacks just don't care, all right,

301
00:13:05,960 --> 00:13:09,320
Speaker 2: I threw a pick whatever, Like next play, Uh, it

302
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:10,080
Speaker 2: is what it is.

303
00:13:10,120 --> 00:13:10,600
Speaker 4: We'll get him.

304
00:13:10,640 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 2: We'll get him, but I'm not going to try to

305
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,480
Speaker 2: do too much to try to make up for it.

306
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 5: What he's saying is it's imperative that Tua gets off

307
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 5: to a quick start, like he has to have success

308
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 5: early in the game if you want him to be

309
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,920
Speaker 5: successful the entire game is he That's that's what?

310
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: Wait what You're shocked that you're shocked to learn this

311
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 1: about to what?

312
00:13:25,360 --> 00:13:28,360
Speaker 7: No, No, the first person I heard say this, And

313
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 7: to think back, it's just like, you're right, because he

314
00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:34,120
Speaker 7: doesn't recover from that early interception, and it's just it's

315
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,560
Speaker 7: almost like he's more in his own head than the fans,

316
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 7: and like most you know people at that level, he's

317
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:39,880
Speaker 7: probably his own harshest critic.

318
00:13:41,320 --> 00:13:42,040
Speaker 4: I think that's.

319
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 2: Totally fair, and I think the best example of this

320
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:48,720
Speaker 2: he played in two national championships in college football, and

321
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: like I said, I've watched him in college in pros,

322
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 2: but mostly for fantasy. Like I don't care that much.

323
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,680
Speaker 2: I'm a Jets fan, so naturally care about wins.

324
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:00,480
Speaker 1: And loss podcast this point, I'm just.

325
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:01,080
Speaker 4: Not allowed to.

326
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:06,000
Speaker 2: So I watched him a little in the NFL, but

327
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,600
Speaker 2: my vantage point from two is mostly in college he started.

328
00:14:08,640 --> 00:14:11,200
Speaker 2: He played two national championships. One he came off the

329
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 2: bench against Georgia in the mid midway point and just

330
00:14:15,679 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 2: absolutely lit Georgia up. I mean ridiculous. Like one of

331
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 2: the great stories in college football history was him coming

332
00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 2: off the bench then benching Jalen Hurts. He goes in,

333
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: wins the National Championship on a walk off to Devonte Smith.

334
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 1: To leave right. Yeah.

335
00:14:30,520 --> 00:14:33,320
Speaker 2: The next year in the National Championship, he throws a

336
00:14:33,360 --> 00:14:36,640
Speaker 2: pick on the first or second play of the game

337
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 2: or the first or second series of the game against Clemson.

338
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,400
Speaker 2: They just could never recover and as a result, it's snowball.

339
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:45,280
Speaker 2: Bama lost the game like four touchdowns. So I think

340
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,920
Speaker 2: that's like him being able to bounce back, and that's

341
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:49,720
Speaker 2: all part of maturation. Like this is a guy that

342
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:52,400
Speaker 2: never had failure, never had adversity in his whole career

343
00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 2: until maybe that moment against Clemson in the National Championship.

344
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:57,160
Speaker 2: So learning how to deal with that. I think it's

345
00:14:57,160 --> 00:14:58,280
Speaker 2: still something he's trying to deal with.

346
00:14:59,000 --> 00:14:59,640
Speaker 1: Stick gotts here.

00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:14,200
Speaker 5: How's life as a Jet fan? You're talking to Jean

364
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 5: is the obviously offend fan. But me and Mike, Yeah,

365
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:18,760
Speaker 5: you're Jet fans, so we know we know the pain

366
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:19,200
Speaker 5: you're living.

367
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:20,040
Speaker 1: Yet O guy, you know.

368
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,240
Speaker 2: At this point, like I'm so calloused to pain, I

369
00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:27,960
Speaker 2: don't I'm just I'm raising my children as Jets fans.

370
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 2: The Jets gave me my shot. They drafted me really

371
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,680
Speaker 2: high to pick to eight. You know, clearly didn't pass

372
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 2: on me in the first two hundred and seven picks.

373
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,880
Speaker 2: But I have this weird loyalty, you know, to the Jets.

374
00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:42,760
Speaker 2: I don't know, I just it's strange, like I just

375
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,200
Speaker 2: I grew up a Cowboy fan, but I'm a Jet

376
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 2: fan now. And that's how we're raising our children, because

377
00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 2: I don't want them to have nice things, you know,

378
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:53,240
Speaker 2: I want them to struggle. And we have embraced the

379
00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: struggle in our house.

380
00:16:54,200 --> 00:16:55,080
Speaker 4: And the sad part.

381
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 2: About being a Jets fan is it feels like after

382
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,320
Speaker 2: two years ago, say Aaron Rodgers get hurt on the

383
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:04,880
Speaker 2: sixth play of the season, that was the closest will

384
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 2: ever be y you know, it lasted sixth place.

385
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:11,280
Speaker 4: You know, that was as close as we'll ever be

386
00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:13,360
Speaker 4: to doing something well.

387
00:17:13,359 --> 00:17:14,760
Speaker 5: We had the first nine or ten games of the

388
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,680
Speaker 5: farm season, though we did have that, you know.

389
00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:18,879
Speaker 2: We did, That's true, yeah, I mean, but that was

390
00:17:18,920 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 2: before I was a Jets fan, though I was in

391
00:17:21,119 --> 00:17:24,119
Speaker 2: college back then and didn't pay attention to the NFL

392
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 2: as much more of a Cowboys fan back then, But

393
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,040
Speaker 2: then I was a Cowboys fan and we had Romo

394
00:17:28,480 --> 00:17:32,200
Speaker 2: who throws an inbreaking route to Sam Hurd, our best

395
00:17:32,240 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 2: receiver on the team against the Giants, that would have

396
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,000
Speaker 2: won the game, probably scores instead he drops it. Giants

397
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 2: go down, win, win the Super Bowl a couple of

398
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 2: years later or a couple of games later. So you know,

399
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 2: I'm I'm just a I'm a glutton for punishment. That's

400
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: why it's good to be a Bama fan, even though

401
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 2: right now that's not a very fun place to be either.

402
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 1: So it's good to be an Indiana fan.

403
00:17:53,359 --> 00:17:55,800
Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, I do.

404
00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 1: The same thing with the Yankees.

405
00:17:56,960 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 6: By the way, here you are as a Techmo super

406
00:17:59,000 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 6: Bowl player in case you haven't seen that.

407
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:03,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, So I.

408
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 6: Want to take you back to twenty eleven. You came

409
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,760
Speaker 6: in to do a car wash at ESPN. You did

410
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,399
Speaker 6: a hit with Colin Cowherd, and I was actually in

411
00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 6: the chair that day, and I spoke to Colin afterwards

412
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 6: and I said, I want that guy to be my

413
00:18:17,359 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 6: quarterback for the Jets, and he said, that.

414
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,520
Speaker 4: Guy's going to take my job.

415
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,160
Speaker 6: So I want to fast forward a year and tell

416
00:18:25,160 --> 00:18:27,560
Speaker 6: me what you remember about the seven to six win

417
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 6: over the Cardinals with a pop pass to Jeff Cumberland

418
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 6: to win it in the fourth quarter.

419
00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 4: Is that ball still in Canton? It's right over there.

420
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:40,000
Speaker 3: It is.

421
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:42,879
Speaker 1: That your Canton? Yeah?

422
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:47,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, a little bigger than Canton my office in Birmingham, Alabama.

423
00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,920
Speaker 4: No, Like I remember that game like it was yesterday.

424
00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:52,119
Speaker 4: You know.

425
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 2: It was the strangest, most bittersweet game of my entire

426
00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:02,960
Speaker 2: career because a backup quarterback, Like the only thing I

427
00:19:03,080 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 2: wanted in the world was for Mark Sanchez to have success.

428
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:10,439
Speaker 2: Like our whole week leading into that week, and our

429
00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,200
Speaker 2: whole season leading up to that point, was all about, like.

430
00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,320
Speaker 4: How can we make Mark more comfortable?

431
00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:17,720
Speaker 2: How can we put Mark in the position to succeed,

432
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,679
Speaker 2: get him feeling good, have the plan dialed out, Like

433
00:19:19,720 --> 00:19:22,159
Speaker 2: I'm up there on the whiteboard, deep into the night,

434
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,040
Speaker 2: ten o'clock, eleven o'clock at night on Tuesday night, Wednesday night.

435
00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 4: Going through third down, going through red zone.

436
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 2: Like we're all doing it together. So to have Marks

437
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 2: struggle was was really really hard to watch, Like we

438
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:36,239
Speaker 2: all wanted, we all wanted Mark to succeed. So all

439
00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 2: of a sudden, Mark's gonna get pulled, Like it's a

440
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,720
Speaker 2: bad day. Like, it's just one of those days. Everything's

441
00:19:41,760 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 2: going sideways, moving too fast, three picks or whatnot.

442
00:19:44,200 --> 00:19:47,400
Speaker 4: It just wasn't good. Well, Greg, you're up.

443
00:19:47,560 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 2: Rex walks over, Tony Sprano walks over Like, Greg, you're up.

444
00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 2: I'm like, oh no, Like not only am I trying

445
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,840
Speaker 2: to deal with the disappointment of Mark not playing well,

446
00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,359
Speaker 2: but now is my shot?

447
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 4: Yeah, go all funny games at the I have to

448
00:20:00,440 --> 00:20:03,119
Speaker 4: do it. Yeah. I never wanted to play. This is

449
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,000
Speaker 4: not this is not great. Like the goal of this

450
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:07,760
Speaker 4: business is to not play.

451
00:20:10,160 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me let me play in the preseason against

452
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:13,879
Speaker 2: rookies and light them up.

453
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:15,879
Speaker 4: I don't want to play against real players. This is

454
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 4: just not This is not what real stakes.

455
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:21,159
Speaker 2: Right until I found out that you do get paid

456
00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 2: by the snap in like players performance, So that was

457
00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:26,760
Speaker 2: just to get a check at the end of the year.

458
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 2: But yeah, we end up going down, put a drive together,

459
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,719
Speaker 2: very efficient, methodical, kind of the way I knew how

460
00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:36,080
Speaker 2: to play. I end up throwing the touchdown to Cumberland.

461
00:20:36,800 --> 00:20:39,439
Speaker 2: We win the game seven to six, and I swear

462
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,679
Speaker 2: Rex Ryan, I have never seen someone more fired up

463
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 2: about the worst NFL football game in history of football.

464
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:51,280
Speaker 2: Schreger actually said this. Schreger's like there was a moment

465
00:20:51,280 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 2: I think it was like a year ago, might have

466
00:20:53,080 --> 00:20:54,320
Speaker 2: been two years ago, it might have been on Good

467
00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: Morning Football when he was with those guys, and he's

468
00:20:57,960 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaker 2: basically said, what's it's like one of the best memories

469
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,840
Speaker 2: you've had about Jets football in the last decade or

470
00:21:04,920 --> 00:21:07,679
Speaker 2: last fifteen years. And he referenced the seven to sixth

471
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:10,239
Speaker 2: game because of how putrid it was.

472
00:21:10,520 --> 00:21:12,320
Speaker 4: It was disgusting.

473
00:21:12,880 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 2: But hey, fourth quarter comeback when as an NFL quarterback,

474
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,399
Speaker 2: I'll take it right.

475
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,080
Speaker 4: We don't have to say is that the touchdown pass

476
00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:23,160
Speaker 4: occurred on the first play of.

477
00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:27,200
Speaker 2: The fourth quarter. Bill counts as a fourth quarter comeback, though, boys.

478
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:33,440
Speaker 1: Don't forget that. Why was anyone trying to dispute that.

479
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 4: It's just the dumbest stat ever.

480
00:21:36,119 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 2: Fourth quarter comebacks led touchdowns thrown when tied in the fourth.

481
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,680
Speaker 4: Quarter or trailing in the fourth quarter.

482
00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 2: And it's like McIlroy won, It's like, counts, come on,

483
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,000
Speaker 2: there's fourteen minutes and fifty seven seconds left when that

484
00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:51,240
Speaker 2: touchdown was reeled in.

485
00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:53,480
Speaker 4: I'd hardly call that a fourth quarter comeback.

486
00:21:53,720 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, I wish Rex was still the head coach of

487
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 1: the Jets. I did.

488
00:21:58,200 --> 00:22:00,159
Speaker 5: It was it was the best run we've had back

489
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 5: to back AFC Championship games. As you watch Indiana on film,

490
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 5: as you prepare for this game, and you're watching Indiana

491
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,560
Speaker 5: on film, is there something that they do where you're like,

492
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 5: holy shit, man, they're even better at that than I

493
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:12,639
Speaker 5: thought they.

494
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 2: Were everything really, so it's absurd about watching them. You

495
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:19,480
Speaker 2: know what's crazy about it? Like what I love most

496
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 2: about Indiana's story and if they go on and win

497
00:22:22,200 --> 00:22:24,719
Speaker 2: the championship, like that's a phenomenal story. But what I

498
00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:30,840
Speaker 2: love most is it destroys, like absolutely pulverizes this whole

499
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,119
Speaker 2: blue chip ratio.

500
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,680
Speaker 4: From a recruiting standpoint.

501
00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, like everyone thought, oh, you gotta have the Jimmies

502
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 2: and Joe's, you gotta have the four star, five star guys.

503
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,919
Speaker 2: You got to have all those guys to win a championship. Well,

504
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:45,040
Speaker 2: if you look at Indiana, some of their best players

505
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:52,119
Speaker 2: are from Texas State, Western Kentucky, James Madison, Kent State,

506
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: Like these are all like small, low level I'm going

507
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,360
Speaker 2: through and I'm preparing for this game, I'm looking at

508
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 2: a lot of the players bios It's like he was

509
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,440
Speaker 2: a zero star recruit out of high school, had zero offers,

510
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:08,440
Speaker 2: had to walk on as a full back at Wisconsin,

511
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 2: and then Wisconsin got rid of the fullback, so they

512
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 2: switched him the tight end. All of a sudden, he

513
00:23:12,760 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 2: started catching passes. Now he transfers to Indiana and has

514
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,960
Speaker 2: caught tons of passes. His name's Riley Nowakowski. It's like,

515
00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:25,480
Speaker 2: what right, Yes, And meanwhile Georgia and Ohio State are

516
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 2: just reeling in five stars like there's no tomorrow, and they.

517
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,440
Speaker 4: Don't execute like these guys execute.

518
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 2: So what's most impressive about watching Indiana is how connected

519
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 2: they are. They do a lot of movement and stunts

520
00:23:39,560 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 2: and adjustments and stuff like that. But when one guy,

521
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,119
Speaker 2: for example, the defensive tackle. If the defensive tackle is

522
00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 2: going left, and that's what they do. They move on

523
00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:52,640
Speaker 2: almost every snap. If he's going left, well damn sure

524
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 2: that linebacker right behind him he's going right. There's nothing

525
00:23:56,280 --> 00:24:01,000
Speaker 2: unaccounted for, Like everything from a detail standpoint is dialed in.

526
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:05,400
Speaker 2: If the receivers and the corners are playing squat coverage,

527
00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:08,040
Speaker 2: well you better believe those safeties are right over the top.

528
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,919
Speaker 2: If they're going to roll the safeties from one direction

529
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 2: to the other. You better believe that hook flat defender

530
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,359
Speaker 2: is going to be right where he's supposed to be.

531
00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,560
Speaker 2: There are no egos on that team, and it's very

532
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 2: obvious when you watch the tape. And also the level

533
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,280
Speaker 2: of strain, the level of like kick assness, if that's

534
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 2: a word, is something that I just love watching the

535
00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:30,760
Speaker 2: finish that you see. It's almost like on every snap

536
00:24:30,800 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 2: they all have the coach to player communication and Signetty's

537
00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:36,680
Speaker 2: sitting there with a microphone telling every one of them,

538
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 2: you stinky, weren't recruited out of high school.

539
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,359
Speaker 4: Nobody likes you, your.

540
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:41,479
Speaker 1: Parents don't like you.

541
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:45,840
Speaker 2: But they play so angry and they finish with such intensity.

542
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:47,000
Speaker 4: It's just so fun to watch.

543
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:47,200
Speaker 1: Man.

544
00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:49,879
Speaker 7: I think I know your answer based on that, But

545
00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 7: is that their ability to turn, you know, a zero

546
00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,879
Speaker 7: star into an impact player? Is that more their ability

547
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:58,800
Speaker 7: to identify those guys or coaching once they get a

548
00:24:58,840 --> 00:25:00,000
Speaker 7: grasp of them.

549
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,880
Speaker 2: I think it's identification first and foremost. Like Kurt Signetti

550
00:25:02,880 --> 00:25:05,159
Speaker 2: actually was our receiver coach at Alabama when I was

551
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 2: in school, I was.

552
00:25:05,920 --> 00:25:08,000
Speaker 5: Gonna say what you just described, samthing like Dick Saban,

553
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 5: I mean Yes.

554
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:12,320
Speaker 2: The funny thing about it is Signetti was our receiver coach,

555
00:25:12,320 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 2: and he was the guy that signaled in the plays

556
00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,800
Speaker 2: to me on the field. And Signetti would like go

557
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 2: rogue sometimes and like mess up a signal and stuff

558
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:23,359
Speaker 2: like that, and he would like kill himself for like

559
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:26,520
Speaker 2: messing up a signal. Guess what, we have seven hundred

560
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 2: snaps a year. You can mess up four signals. Like,

561
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 2: I'm gonna all fix it. It's fine, Like I know

562
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,960
Speaker 2: the play, It's okay. Like if you went trips right,

563
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:36,280
Speaker 2: jet left, but it's supposed to be trips left, Jeff right,

564
00:25:36,400 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 2: Like it's fine, We're good.

565
00:25:38,520 --> 00:25:39,920
Speaker 1: Yes, it's all good.

566
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:40,719
Speaker 4: I could fix it.

567
00:25:40,760 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: But he's not right. Yes he is.

568
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:44,400
Speaker 4: He's wired a little different.

569
00:25:45,720 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 2: And the level of detail, the intensity, the chip on

570
00:25:49,280 --> 00:25:52,560
Speaker 2: the shoulder, the anger that he coaches with the team

571
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: really reflects his personality. But he was also our recruiting

572
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,479
Speaker 2: coordinator when I was in school, and we would have

573
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:00,679
Speaker 2: guys like who Leo Jones.

574
00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,720
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think Julio is a good player.

575
00:26:03,800 --> 00:26:07,680
Speaker 2: Oh you don't say, like watch him running, watch him run,

576
00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:08,760
Speaker 2: jump and catch yeap.

577
00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,879
Speaker 4: That one's an easy one to pinpoint.

578
00:26:11,119 --> 00:26:14,560
Speaker 2: But the amount of guys that he brought in when

579
00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,719
Speaker 2: he was in Tuscaloosa that were way under the radar.

580
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 2: Like there was a guy named Darius Hanks who was

581
00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 2: a slot receiver for US, had a cup of coffee

582
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,520
Speaker 2: in the NFL, just wasn't big enough, fast enough, or

583
00:26:26,560 --> 00:26:29,040
Speaker 2: strong enough to be a legitimate NFL number three.

584
00:26:29,920 --> 00:26:31,560
Speaker 4: But in college, like this.

585
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:33,800
Speaker 2: Guy ran routes, Like he had a really long neck

586
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 2: and like a really really big head, and like he

587
00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:38,879
Speaker 2: could like put his neck like this and made it

588
00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:40,399
Speaker 2: look like he was running this way when he was

589
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:42,919
Speaker 2: running this way. Like guys couldn't cover the guy. But

590
00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,679
Speaker 2: like little nuanced characteristics that Signetti would notice about a

591
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 2: specific player, and it's like, well, Okay, this guy ran

592
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: four to seven. Why are we taking him? See if

593
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,359
Speaker 2: anyone can cover him, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,

594
00:26:58,560 --> 00:27:02,400
Speaker 2: So I think he notices like little things about specific

595
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:04,960
Speaker 2: players and how they fit into their scheme, and they're

596
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:07,679
Speaker 2: able to recruit directly to that scheme, and that's what

597
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,200
Speaker 2: led to the success. He also goes and recruits guys

598
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:14,000
Speaker 2: that genuinely don't care about their draft stock. They're not

599
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,520
Speaker 2: going to improvise, They're going to stay within the structure.

600
00:27:16,840 --> 00:27:18,520
Speaker 2: They're going to do what they're told to do, They're

601
00:27:18,520 --> 00:27:20,919
Speaker 2: gonna do what they're coach to do, and as a result,

602
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:22,879
Speaker 2: the whole thing blends together really beautifully.

603
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,440
Speaker 5: We play a game here called a game for your life,

604
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 5: and so I'm wondering in a weird world, okay, where

605
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:31,080
Speaker 5: your life depended on the outcome of the game. And

606
00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 5: you have to choose one of these two quarterbacks Mendoza

607
00:27:34,560 --> 00:27:36,160
Speaker 5: or More for this game.

608
00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,000
Speaker 1: Who are you choosing?

609
00:27:37,400 --> 00:27:39,960
Speaker 4: Oh, Mendoza is the better player at this point.

610
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:43,040
Speaker 2: Now, I think what people are struggling with, what the

611
00:27:43,080 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 2: evaluation of these two guys.

612
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 4: Mendoza's twenty two years old, Moore's twenty.

613
00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 2: Mendoza's got thirty five career starts or twenty voter however

614
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:52,959
Speaker 2: many starts he's got in his career.

615
00:27:53,640 --> 00:27:54,880
Speaker 4: Daltainmore's got like nineteen.

616
00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: And you know, it's not some absurd body of work

617
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 2: that you're trying to have value with these guys off of. So,

618
00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:03,960
Speaker 2: if you're looking at the two like, are we playing

619
00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:06,399
Speaker 2: the game in twenty twenty six or are we playing

620
00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,639
Speaker 2: the game in twenty thirty one?

621
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:12,720
Speaker 4: In twenty thirty one? Very different conversation.

622
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 2: Right, because when I look and I project what Dante

623
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 2: Moore could become and for sealing that he has and

624
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 2: the accuracy that he has and the arm talent that

625
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:24,159
Speaker 2: he has, there's a lot to like about the upside

626
00:28:24,240 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 2: and the potential. But with Fernando Mendoza, he's next level

627
00:28:29,359 --> 00:28:32,639
Speaker 2: processor like. He has a great understanding of pressure. He

628
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 2: is a great understanding of when his protection is overloaded.

629
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 2: He has a great way of fixing things at the

630
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,320
Speaker 2: line of scrimmage. He also does a really catchable ball.

631
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:45,040
Speaker 2: He also has great ball placement. So right now today,

632
00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,720
Speaker 2: based on the body of work up to this point,

633
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 2: it's Mendoza by a pretty decent sized margin. But the

634
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,360
Speaker 2: reason why they're one and two in the draft is

635
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:54,920
Speaker 2: mostly based on projection.

636
00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:57,960
Speaker 4: So you know what, Dante More, it's in there. It's

637
00:28:57,960 --> 00:28:58,240
Speaker 4: in there.

638
00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 2: It's just now, can it come out on the biggest

639
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 2: possible stage, that's the big question.

640
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:02,920
Speaker 4: I think it can.

641
00:29:03,480 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: It's just going to require a level of precision that

642
00:29:06,720 --> 00:29:09,600
Speaker 2: we haven't quite seen from him week in the week

643
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:10,560
Speaker 2: out throughout the season.

644
00:29:10,880 --> 00:29:13,480
Speaker 1: All right, same game, game for your life. Who's your coach?

645
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: Signetti or Nick Saban. I don't believe we've arrived here.

646
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,720
Speaker 4: You've arrived here.

647
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:22,720
Speaker 1: You're gonna take Saban.

648
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: It's still Nick Saban, like, I mean, come on, man, like,

649
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,040
Speaker 2: just like Steak here Stu.

650
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:30,720
Speaker 1: Let's be honest. Got seven, Yes, you're.

651
00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:32,640
Speaker 4: Right, and Kurt is working on one.

652
00:29:32,640 --> 00:29:35,560
Speaker 2: And granted Saban had a long time to accumulate those seven.

653
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:38,160
Speaker 5: Maybe Signetti gets don't entertain my ridiculous question.

654
00:29:38,200 --> 00:29:38,760
Speaker 1: I was just doing it.

655
00:29:38,840 --> 00:29:39,719
Speaker 4: I love the question.

656
00:29:40,680 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 2: The funny thing I think about Nick Saban, though, is

657
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,479
Speaker 2: how everybody viewsed through an nfl A lens. And we'll

658
00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:47,880
Speaker 2: speak to your audience specifically in Miami.

659
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: Right.

660
00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,560
Speaker 4: It didn't work at.

661
00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:54,680
Speaker 2: The Dolphins, right, Okay, let's just put some perspective on this, because,

662
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:59,240
Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken, Nick Saban took the Dolphins to

663
00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:03,040
Speaker 2: about a five hundred record in his two years there thereabouts.

664
00:30:03,040 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: I think it was nine and seven, and I believe

665
00:30:04,840 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 2: that the second year he was like seven to nine

666
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 2: or six and ten or whatever it was. It wasn't great,

667
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:11,960
Speaker 2: but it wasn't wasn't terrible either. He also didn't get

668
00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 2: Drew Brees cleared even though we wanted to and was

669
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:16,360
Speaker 2: desperately trying to.

670
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:17,239
Speaker 4: They wouldn't clear him.

671
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,080
Speaker 2: Because he was coming off the shoulder that looked like

672
00:30:19,160 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 2: it could be a career affecting injury. Of course, being

673
00:30:22,320 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 2: twenty twenty, we know how that worked out in New Orleans.

674
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: I think the shoulder was fine.

675
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 1: He might still be here if the shoulder was fine,

676
00:30:28,480 --> 00:30:29,240
Speaker 1: if he got him clear.

677
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm glad the shoulder wasn't fine in that scenario so.

678
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 4: He could come coach me.

679
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:37,920
Speaker 2: Uh so, Yes, A couple of dollars down to Dann

680
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,040
Speaker 2: Knell's dad, who I believe was the team doctor.

681
00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,920
Speaker 4: I should write him a check. Yeah, that was butt.

682
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 2: I look at those two teams, and while maybe not

683
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,360
Speaker 2: the highest levels of the NFL, I believe the year

684
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 2: after Nick Saban left, their record was one in fifteen

685
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:57,480
Speaker 2: yeah thereabouts.

686
00:30:57,720 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, yep.

687
00:30:59,440 --> 00:31:03,000
Speaker 2: Six win improvement over his first year to what they

688
00:31:03,320 --> 00:31:04,400
Speaker 2: were the following year.

689
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:06,960
Speaker 4: I think of Nick Saban would have stayed in the NFL,

690
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 4: he would have won.

691
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:11,280
Speaker 2: I think he's the best coach in college football history,

692
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,240
Speaker 2: bar none. But I think his process could also be

693
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,640
Speaker 2: applied to the NFL, where I think if he decided

694
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,560
Speaker 2: to ever go back or whatnot, or if he ever

695
00:31:19,600 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 2: decided to go to the NFL at some point in

696
00:31:21,600 --> 00:31:22,600
Speaker 2: his tenure at Alabama.

697
00:31:22,800 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 4: He would have been successful there as well.

698
00:31:24,880 --> 00:31:27,959
Speaker 5: We've had so many guys on over the years, Quentin Williams.

699
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,960
Speaker 5: I think Jalen Hurts who talked about Saban taking them

700
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,520
Speaker 5: out to the lake house and trying to throw them

701
00:31:32,560 --> 00:31:34,000
Speaker 5: off the boat, did he ever do that with you?

702
00:31:34,720 --> 00:31:39,520
Speaker 2: Yes, now, the first part of that story one hundred

703
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,120
Speaker 2: percent true. So two thousand and nine, I'm about to

704
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:46,560
Speaker 2: be the starting quarterback for the first time, and we

705
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:50,600
Speaker 2: all do the leadership group. There's fifteen of us or

706
00:31:50,640 --> 00:31:53,680
Speaker 2: so that will go out to the lake house. And

707
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,000
Speaker 2: by the way, the house, I don't think house does

708
00:31:56,000 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 2: it justice. It is a castle on a body of water.

709
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:04,959
Speaker 2: It's I've seen lake houses.

710
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:06,840
Speaker 4: Boys. That ain't a lakehouse.

711
00:32:07,560 --> 00:32:11,400
Speaker 5: That is that is a that is a boat compound, right.

712
00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,760
Speaker 4: That is a compound.

713
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:17,920
Speaker 2: It needs to be given the heightened security in Tuscaloosa

714
00:32:17,960 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 2: that he would require. So we go to the house

715
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:21,920
Speaker 2: and we get on the boat. It's beautiful boat. I'm like,

716
00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 2: this is the nice boat. Costs more than my own

717
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,960
Speaker 2: family's house. This is like insane. This thing's got more horsepower.

718
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,320
Speaker 2: I'm looking at the engine in the back is like

719
00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 2: four hundred horsepowers, like, oh god on a lake, Like,

720
00:32:30,960 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 2: what are we doing? This is aggressive unless you're going

721
00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:37,840
Speaker 2: to take this thing deep sea fishing. This is unnecessary

722
00:32:38,080 --> 00:32:40,440
Speaker 2: the amount of horsepower you got going on here. So

723
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:43,240
Speaker 2: we're on there, Dante High Tower is out there, Wilana

724
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,120
Speaker 2: McClane's out there, and we're all on these individual saucer

725
00:32:46,240 --> 00:32:49,239
Speaker 2: type floats and these guys are getting thrown I mean

726
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:52,120
Speaker 2: they're like outside the wake. I mean they're getting air.

727
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,880
Speaker 2: They're fifteen feet in the air and just smashing down.

728
00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:58,040
Speaker 2: I'm like, this is this is reckless. This is I know,

729
00:32:58,080 --> 00:33:00,560
Speaker 2: these guys are all built to, you know, be in

730
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:04,200
Speaker 2: violent collisions. I'm sure Coach isn't too concerned about their toughness.

731
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:07,360
Speaker 2: Maybe this was a test and Coach has like this

732
00:33:07,480 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 2: weird grin like this, I'll show you. It's like his

733
00:33:11,080 --> 00:33:14,240
Speaker 2: way physically of getting back at the guys before the

734
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 2: season starts. And then I get out there and I'm

735
00:33:17,600 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 2: all excited, but I'm a little anxious, I'm a little antsy,

736
00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,440
Speaker 2: and we're just cruisy takes off punches. I'm all right,

737
00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:24,280
Speaker 2: here we go. Hold on, Bud, like you got this.

738
00:33:24,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 2: Don't get thrown off too.

739
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:26,280
Speaker 4: Quickly.

740
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,800
Speaker 2: This is like the is like the eight count, you know,

741
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,959
Speaker 2: riding bulls like you don't want to get thrown off

742
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,480
Speaker 2: too quickly, so just hold on deer like and we

743
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:36,440
Speaker 2: just pitter patter at a pretty good speed. I never

744
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,160
Speaker 2: left outside the wake ever. Wow, Like we're sitting there

745
00:33:40,240 --> 00:33:42,640
Speaker 2: turning real slow. I'm right in the wake the whole time,

746
00:33:42,680 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 2: like I'm trying to get out, you know, you know

747
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:44,880
Speaker 2: how you're trying to work it.

748
00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:47,320
Speaker 1: Where you're recorded.

749
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,719
Speaker 4: See him turn back immediately.

750
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:51,760
Speaker 2: Inside the wake, and after about five minutes, I'm like,

751
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:54,080
Speaker 2: all right, that's good. They pull me in. I'm like, coach,

752
00:33:54,120 --> 00:33:57,040
Speaker 2: what's that? He goes, Dude, have you seen your backup?

753
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:04,120
Speaker 2: We can't, so I'm like, I guess that's fair, but

754
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,160
Speaker 2: we don't want to deal with one of those guys

755
00:34:09,200 --> 00:34:10,640
Speaker 2: like you have to stay in the wake.

756
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,480
Speaker 4: But it was. It was funny for sure.

757
00:34:13,480 --> 00:34:16,160

792
00:36:04,080 --> 00:36:06,839
Speaker 5: Some news just broke your Ty Simpson, Alabama's quarterback has

793
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:08,000
Speaker 5: declared for the NFL Draft.

794
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:09,759
Speaker 1: It seems like you knew that before anyone else did.

795
00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 5: Oh my gosh, wow there, Yes, all right, you're not

796
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:20,160
Speaker 5: surprised by that.

797
00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:22,200
Speaker 1: You think I'll be a good quarterback of assuming right.

798
00:36:23,320 --> 00:36:26,120
Speaker 2: So I did a little study, had some time to

799
00:36:26,200 --> 00:36:28,960
Speaker 2: go back and watch all the top quarterbacks, and I

800
00:36:29,040 --> 00:36:32,000
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time, naturally on Mendoza, spend a

801
00:36:32,040 --> 00:36:34,160
Speaker 2: lot of time on Dante More and spend a lot

802
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:37,000
Speaker 2: of time on ty Simpson. I've since started to spend

803
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:38,960
Speaker 2: a little time on tradid chandlers, by the way, who

804
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:40,480
Speaker 2: we need to wake up to.

805
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:42,280
Speaker 4: For those that are in NFL circles.

806
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:46,320
Speaker 2: The quarterback the real deal, and I could see him

807
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:49,919
Speaker 2: getting into this discussion quickly and allowing it to turn

808
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,960
Speaker 2: from a three horse race.

809
00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:51,799
Speaker 4: Into a four horse race.

810
00:36:52,640 --> 00:36:56,560
Speaker 2: Right now, the way I see it, Mendoza is by

811
00:36:56,600 --> 00:37:00,480
Speaker 2: a decent margin the best prospect right now. Based on

812
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 2: what I've seen. There's a sizable gap between him and

813
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:08,600
Speaker 2: the others. What I was surprised by in going back

814
00:37:08,640 --> 00:37:12,040
Speaker 2: and watching it. I think there is a real strong

815
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,040
Speaker 2: argument to be made on behalf of ty Simpson to

816
00:37:15,080 --> 00:37:17,800
Speaker 2: be in front of Dante More. I actually think that

817
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:21,480
Speaker 2: that is something that the scouts are going to debate,

818
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:24,520
Speaker 2: and I think it's very very close. When you watch

819
00:37:24,640 --> 00:37:27,760
Speaker 2: him when he's playing his best football earlier in the season.

820
00:37:27,800 --> 00:37:30,200
Speaker 2: I think time will go on and you'll find out

821
00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:33,080
Speaker 2: just how banged up he was down the stretch and

822
00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:35,760
Speaker 2: what he was having to deal with physically down the stretch.

823
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:37,279
Speaker 4: He wasn't the same.

824
00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:39,399
Speaker 2: Guy in the last five weeks of the season five

825
00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:42,799
Speaker 2: games of the season, because there were physical limitations that

826
00:37:42,840 --> 00:37:43,680
Speaker 2: didn't allow.

827
00:37:43,560 --> 00:37:44,239
Speaker 4: Him to be the guy.

828
00:37:44,760 --> 00:37:48,120
Speaker 2: The guys from about week four till about week nine,

829
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,880
Speaker 2: you would be hard pressed to find a guy that

830
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:55,719
Speaker 2: is more dialed in, more accurate, more capable of anticipating

831
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:58,279
Speaker 2: throws over the middle. Watch how often he pounded the

832
00:37:58,320 --> 00:38:00,520
Speaker 2: middle of the field. I mean just pounded. And that

833
00:38:00,960 --> 00:38:05,719
Speaker 2: is always a real clear indicator of how you transition

834
00:38:05,840 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: to the next level is how you throw the inbreaking routes.

835
00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:12,160
Speaker 2: All the guys that are throwing these routes outside the numbers,

836
00:38:12,200 --> 00:38:12,640
Speaker 2: that's great.

837
00:38:12,960 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 4: The NFL is one in the middle of.

838
00:38:15,560 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 2: The field in my opinion, and I think he is

839
00:38:17,880 --> 00:38:21,680
Speaker 2: the best of the other three when it comes to

840
00:38:21,800 --> 00:38:24,480
Speaker 2: determining who throws it between the hashes the best. He's

841
00:38:24,480 --> 00:38:26,080
Speaker 2: got a big arm. I think people will see that

842
00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,640
Speaker 2: he's got sneaky mobility. The other thing he did a

843
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,359
Speaker 2: really good job of this year. They put a lot

844
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 2: on his plate and he did not have the luxury

845
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:34,440
Speaker 2: of a run game to lean on.

846
00:38:34,480 --> 00:38:36,319
Speaker 4: They did not run the ball well at Alibama this year.

847
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:39,880
Speaker 2: They were triple ditch when it comes to FBS rankings

848
00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:42,600
Speaker 2: running the football. So he had to do it against

849
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,480
Speaker 2: teams that were selling out against the pass. That's a

850
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,359
Speaker 2: very tough thing to do as well. And I think

851
00:38:49,400 --> 00:38:52,759
Speaker 2: when we fast forward to the end of April and

852
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:56,120
Speaker 2: these names are starting to pop up, I think it's

853
00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 2: going to be a conversation between Ty Simpson and Dante

854
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: Moore more so than it's going to be conversation between

855
00:39:00,800 --> 00:39:03,600
Speaker 2: Dante mor Fana Mendoza. Now that's early, it's early in

856
00:39:03,640 --> 00:39:05,880
Speaker 2: my prep. We'll see how they test, We'll see how

857
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,440
Speaker 2: they run, We'll see how they throw at the combine,

858
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 2: We'll see what they do in pro days, meetings, interviews,

859
00:39:09,719 --> 00:39:12,359
Speaker 2: what have you. But I think that's the conversation where

860
00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 2: where things were centered. He's gonna be He's gonna up

861
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:16,880
Speaker 2: getting drafted a lot higher than I think people realize.

862
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:19,120
Speaker 5: Greig one last one on a guy who's for his sake,

863
00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:20,800
Speaker 5: it's not by the Jets anyway, I'm sorry.

864
00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 1: Is he all right?

865
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:25,560
Speaker 4: I hope it is by the Jets? I don't know.

866
00:39:25,719 --> 00:39:26,400
Speaker 4: We'll see.

867
00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,000
Speaker 7: What do you think of the situation out in Washington

868
00:39:31,080 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 7: right now with de Mon Williams uh saying he's going

869
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:35,719
Speaker 7: to stay and then going into the transfer portal in

870
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 7: Washington talking about maybe taking legal action here.

871
00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:40,680
Speaker 1: What are we looking at? Yeah?

872
00:39:40,680 --> 00:39:42,600
Speaker 2: I mean this is the new normal. I mean we've

873
00:39:42,600 --> 00:39:44,520
Speaker 2: already seen. This is not the first one. It might

874
00:39:44,560 --> 00:39:47,799
Speaker 2: be the most high profile because it's a quarterback, and

875
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:50,080
Speaker 2: it's a quarterback that's in tremendous demand.

876
00:39:50,160 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 4: You want. By the way, this kid.

877
00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:58,040
Speaker 5: Like is that's the sound you made when someone's special. Yeah,

878
00:39:58,160 --> 00:39:59,000
Speaker 5: he's insane.

879
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 4: I mean Kyler Murray, Like he's Kyler Murray.

880
00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:06,040
Speaker 2: I just don't think that many people have watched him yet.

881
00:40:06,120 --> 00:40:09,000
Speaker 2: But the quickness and the agility and like running around

882
00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,359
Speaker 2: like it's it's he's he's really fun to watch. Say

883
00:40:13,440 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 2: that he ends up actually transferring, But if he does,

884
00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:21,360
Speaker 2: we've seen litigation already with lower profile players between school

885
00:40:21,400 --> 00:40:24,520
Speaker 2: and player because a lot of these deals are front loaded.

886
00:40:24,600 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: A lot of these deals are involved a signing bonus,

887
00:40:27,800 --> 00:40:30,560
Speaker 2: and a lot of these deals are they're going to

888
00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:33,720
Speaker 2: have to pay back money to the to the school

889
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,719
Speaker 2: because it's no different than a buyout would be for

890
00:40:35,760 --> 00:40:37,719
Speaker 2: anyone else. And I think they've built those into the

891
00:40:37,760 --> 00:40:40,760
Speaker 2: contract which are now it protects the school. The challenging

892
00:40:40,800 --> 00:40:43,319
Speaker 2: thing about the timing of this is that now that

893
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,919
Speaker 2: Washington might lose their quarterback, like they've been sitting there

894
00:40:47,560 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 2: expecting that position to be filled and maybe having a

895
00:40:51,280 --> 00:40:55,040
Speaker 2: certain amount of resources tied up in that position. Now

896
00:40:55,200 --> 00:40:57,080
Speaker 2: some of the best guys have already made their decision

897
00:40:57,239 --> 00:40:59,560
Speaker 2: like where they're going, so there's less guys to go

898
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,560
Speaker 2: and get and maybe the resources that we're tied up

899
00:41:02,600 --> 00:41:04,560
Speaker 2: are now available. Well, you're laid to the party to

900
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:07,399
Speaker 2: get in on other positions, So I don't blame them

901
00:41:07,480 --> 00:41:10,160
Speaker 2: for maybe going after it if he ends up leaving

902
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:12,360
Speaker 2: to just kind of protect themselves, because this is a

903
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:14,319
Speaker 2: that's a tough thing for a school to deal with.

904
00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:15,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is where you double up.

905
00:41:15,840 --> 00:41:17,600
Speaker 7: You get the law degree, you do the sports thing,

906
00:41:17,640 --> 00:41:21,160
Speaker 7: and boom, you make extra money defending people in the nil.

907
00:41:22,239 --> 00:41:25,520
Speaker 2: If I ever got and y'all know this, like, could

908
00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:32,279
Speaker 2: you imagine being in the representation business? That would be impossible.

909
00:41:32,320 --> 00:41:34,120
Speaker 2: I'm good, I'll just read about it. I'm good with

910
00:41:34,160 --> 00:41:36,200
Speaker 2: that and I'll just pretend to be a lawyer. That's

911
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:38,360
Speaker 2: like we all do when it comes to these contracts.

912
00:41:38,440 --> 00:41:40,840
Speaker 1: But college football has become exhausting? Is it just me?

913
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 1: Like it's exhausting.

914
00:41:41,840 --> 00:41:43,479
Speaker 5: I don't know who's going where, I don't know who's

915
00:41:43,520 --> 00:41:46,040
Speaker 5: coaching where, kids are going into the portal or out

916
00:41:46,040 --> 00:41:46,439
Speaker 5: of the portal.

917
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,000
Speaker 1: There's litigation. What are we doing? It's just college football.

918
00:41:49,160 --> 00:41:50,919
Speaker 2: It's so funny that you say that, because I told

919
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:54,040
Speaker 2: my wife that last night. She's like, you look miserable.

920
00:41:54,280 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: This is like, I'm like, I am miserable, Like this

921
00:41:57,360 --> 00:41:59,719
Speaker 2: has been the hardest week ever. She's like, oh God,

922
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:04,720
Speaker 2: Like sob story, Like, you're doing a playoff game on Friday.

923
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:07,320
Speaker 2: You just called the most exciting game of your career

924
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:09,840
Speaker 2: last Thursday. I'm sorry, Greg, but you're not on the

925
00:42:09,840 --> 00:42:10,960
Speaker 2: prayer list for anybody.

926
00:42:11,239 --> 00:42:12,520
Speaker 4: I'm like, I'm not trying to be.

927
00:42:13,120 --> 00:42:15,360
Speaker 2: I'm not trying to be on the prayer list for anybody,

928
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:15,880
Speaker 2: Like I don't.

929
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,880
Speaker 4: But I'm trying to keep up with the Portal.

930
00:42:18,920 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 2: I'm trying to prep a game, I'm trying to do studio,

931
00:42:21,200 --> 00:42:22,320
Speaker 2: I'm trying to do like all this stuff. And I

932
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:26,000
Speaker 2: like but but part of me is like obsessed with

933
00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:29,040
Speaker 2: the portal, Like I love it, and yet that should

934
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,960
Speaker 2: not be at the front of my mind this week.

935
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 2: It should be prepping Indiana and Oregon. But I can't

936
00:42:34,120 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 2: help but be infatuated with the movement.

937
00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:38,439
Speaker 4: And the possibilities of next year.

938
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, I think for this week, I actually kind

939
00:42:42,120 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 2: of for the first time understand what these coaches are

940
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:47,920
Speaker 2: going through, right, and having to put their roster together

941
00:42:48,040 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: and prep for the biggest game of their careers and

942
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:53,319
Speaker 2: trying to keep their current roster happy and trying to

943
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:55,680
Speaker 2: raise money all at the same time to promote their

944
00:42:55,680 --> 00:42:57,799
Speaker 2: pro It's like, I don't know how they do it. Man,

945
00:42:57,880 --> 00:43:00,719
Speaker 2: these guys it's an awful it's an awful job.

946
00:43:00,840 --> 00:43:05,560
Speaker 5: But man, yes, it really is. Yes, listen, you could

947
00:43:05,560 --> 00:43:07,239
Speaker 5: have been a lawyer. It is what your wife was

948
00:43:07,239 --> 00:43:07,839
Speaker 5: trying to say.

949
00:43:07,960 --> 00:43:08,160
Speaker 1: You know.

950
00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:11,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, one of my buddies actually does due to the

951
00:43:11,960 --> 00:43:14,600
Speaker 2: contract work for Auburn and Alabama. And he is a

952
00:43:14,719 --> 00:43:16,919
Speaker 2: thousand times when were miserable to me because he's drawing

953
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:18,840
Speaker 2: up contracts right just so they can put him in

954
00:43:18,880 --> 00:43:21,000
Speaker 2: front of guys, which guys say no, thank you.

955
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:24,000
Speaker 4: And he just spent three hours straying a contract. So yeah,

956
00:43:24,040 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 4: he's real miserable. I'm I just get to pretend to

957
00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:28,080
Speaker 4: be miserable. It's great.

958
00:43:28,400 --> 00:43:30,920
Speaker 5: Yes, final question on the way out. We do appreciate

959
00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:32,160
Speaker 5: the time. We know it's a busy time.

960
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:32,480
Speaker 1: For you, sir.

961
00:43:32,600 --> 00:43:35,960
Speaker 5: But who plays a week from Monday the National Championship

962
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,240
Speaker 5: Game is Indiana Miami?

963
00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:39,759
Speaker 1: Who's gonna win these two games coming?

964
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 2: Well, I won't pick the game that I'm calling. I

965
00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:43,520
Speaker 2: feel like you can't do that professionally. The wrong way

966
00:43:43,560 --> 00:43:45,200
Speaker 2: to go about my business. I think that's gonna be

967
00:43:45,200 --> 00:43:46,919
Speaker 2: a really competitive game, though, Like I look at how

968
00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:49,920
Speaker 2: Oregon played him the first time around, and while Indiana

969
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,520
Speaker 2: won the game by ten and Oregon had to pick

970
00:43:51,560 --> 00:43:54,040
Speaker 2: six and all this other stuff, Oregon matches up pretty

971
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:57,000
Speaker 2: well against Indiana relatively speaking. Now not many teams do,

972
00:43:57,520 --> 00:43:59,440
Speaker 2: but Oregon can go toe to toast. So I think

973
00:43:59,480 --> 00:44:01,520
Speaker 2: that game is I think it's toss up. Like I'll

974
00:44:01,560 --> 00:44:02,840
Speaker 2: be the first to tell you, like that game, to

975
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,439
Speaker 2: me is a toss up, really really good, competitive, close game.

976
00:44:05,880 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 2: The other side, I like Miami, and partly because I'm

977
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:13,319
Speaker 2: on your show and I know how to play to

978
00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:13,920
Speaker 2: the audience.

979
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:16,040
Speaker 1: Well done. I'm proud of you.

980
00:44:16,320 --> 00:44:18,840
Speaker 4: The other part of me, and I mean this like

981
00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:19,520
Speaker 4: dead series.

982
00:44:20,440 --> 00:44:25,360
Speaker 2: I think their level of physicality is on a whole

983
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:27,160
Speaker 2: nother stratosphere of just about.

984
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,360
Speaker 4: Anyone I've seen in college football.

985
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:30,279
Speaker 2: In a minute, I mean, and we did their first

986
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:32,880
Speaker 2: game against Notre Dame and I was like, goodness, gracious alive.

987
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:36,040
Speaker 2: These guys are violent, and they are violent on defense,

988
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:39,000
Speaker 2: and their offensive line is filthy. And there was a

989
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:41,960
Speaker 2: point in the season week five. I think at the season,

990
00:44:41,960 --> 00:44:44,200
Speaker 2: maybe week six, where I'm like that's the best team

991
00:44:44,200 --> 00:44:46,160
Speaker 2: in the country right, like they really are, and they

992
00:44:46,239 --> 00:44:48,040
Speaker 2: kind of fell off a bit in October and now

993
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:50,759
Speaker 2: are playing their best ball here down the stretch. But

994
00:44:50,920 --> 00:44:54,319
Speaker 2: their ceiling is absurd, and they have the recipe to

995
00:44:54,560 --> 00:44:58,280
Speaker 2: neutralize Ole Missus high flying attack. They can run the football,

996
00:44:58,320 --> 00:45:00,520
Speaker 2: they can grind the game, they can short in the game,

997
00:45:00,600 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 2: they can play bully ball, and they have two guys that.

998
00:45:03,239 --> 00:45:04,160
Speaker 4: Can take over the game.

999
00:45:04,320 --> 00:45:06,920
Speaker 2: So I think Miami wins that game. I think they

1000
00:45:06,960 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 2: cover the number. I'm sure you want to know that

1001
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,479
Speaker 2: as well. I think it's about three, three and a half.

1002
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:14,160
Speaker 2: But yeah, that would be the side i'd lead. I

1003
00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:16,600
Speaker 2: just think they're too complete. I think their running game

1004
00:45:16,680 --> 00:45:19,160
Speaker 2: is is going to be a really tough matchup for

1005
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,680
Speaker 2: for the Ole miss Rebels.

1006
00:45:21,239 --> 00:45:21,600
Speaker 1: I love that.

1007
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:23,239
Speaker 5: If you, I love that if you were on a

1008
00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:25,759
Speaker 5: show in Oxford, Mississippi would have taken the Rebels.

1009
00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:28,880
Speaker 4: Like it's called a hedge.

1010
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,640
Speaker 2: It's a hedge, like you know, I mean for sure,

1011
00:45:33,640 --> 00:45:35,239
Speaker 2: And if I was on a show in Gainesville, I'd

1012
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:37,399
Speaker 2: somehow find a way that Florida got robbed this year

1013
00:45:37,440 --> 00:45:38,840
Speaker 2: to get in the playoff. They should have gotten it

1014
00:45:38,920 --> 00:45:40,840
Speaker 2: at five and seven. I don't know why the I

1015
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:42,840
Speaker 2: don't know why they kept them out.

1016
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:48,640
Speaker 1: I'm talking to a gator here. You're excellent at this.

1017
00:45:48,760 --> 00:45:52,160
Speaker 1: Don't ever become a lawyer. Greg. We appreciate it. G Mac,

1018
00:45:52,239 --> 00:45:54,719
Speaker 1: I should call you. We appreciate it very much. We

1019
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:55,799
Speaker 1: know it's a busy time for you.

1020
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 5: I'm looking forward to your call of the game on

1021
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,600
Speaker 5: Friday along with Sean McDonough.

1022
00:46:00,040 --> 00:46:01,120
Speaker 1: Thank you so much for doing.

1023
00:46:00,920 --> 00:46:02,360
Speaker 4: This, but hey, thank you all for having me. Man

1024
00:46:02,440 --> 00:46:04,440
Speaker 4: always fun. Enjoy y'all's work and look forward to it

1025
00:46:04,480 --> 00:46:04,759
Speaker 4: to get to
