00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 1: days over the course of the argo. You know what,

18
00:00:57,000 --> 00:01:00,000

21
00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:08,959
Speaker 1: has risen substantially the last couple of years.

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:09,559
Speaker 2: I need a break.

23
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,360
Speaker 3: I think your expectations. I think it goes in line

24
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:15,560
Speaker 3: with your age, because like you see the shell shedding

25
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: of your mortal coil some fifty years in the distance

26
00:01:18,360 --> 00:01:21,240
Speaker 3: and that shrinking a little bit, which means the expectations

27
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,880
Speaker 3: my team needs to win now. So when you see

28
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: baby going to field the ground ball and envisioning not

29
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 3: the first basement club and where he's gonna throw it,

30
00:01:30,120 --> 00:01:32,479
Speaker 3: but how he'll look at a Yankees uniform.

31
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 2: Making that terrible throw, because he would fit right in.

32
00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 3: I saw you die a little bit inside, a little

33
00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 3: little Jason Smith took one for the team, right.

34
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: This was it was hard, This was very This was difficult.

35
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: This was difficult and fifty difficult, especially.

36
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:53,440
Speaker 3: While bab Schwarber keeps rounding the base like a superhuman,

37
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 3: like he's one of the fantastic for well, you know,

38
00:01:57,360 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 3: like he's doing all that stuff, then you're gonna failing

39
00:02:00,600 --> 00:02:03,559
Speaker 3: to keep pace. And so when you see a team

40
00:02:03,640 --> 00:02:07,480
Speaker 3: score two runs without a hit, including an air mail

41
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 3: throw to second base, the second base is looking at him,

42
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 3: going really really.

43
00:02:12,680 --> 00:02:15,919
Speaker 1: Come back from down five nothing, tie the game, bases

44
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 1: loaded in the bottom of the eighth, you only get

45
00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 1: with no out, you get one run, bases loaded, one out,

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: and the ninth thing you get zero runs. Like I

47
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: mean like I need a like, okay, I need a

48
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,959

80
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: didn't do it with any sort of malicious intent or

81
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:56,960
Speaker 1: it was just I happened to take the other car

82
00:03:57,160 --> 00:03:59,400

90
00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: when we're not worth all this. I'm like, do I

91
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:22,240
Speaker 1: call her or do I do I respect the fact

92
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: that she really doesn't want to talk to me. I'm like,

93
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: you know what, I'm I'm gonna respect that, and I'm

94
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:28,919
Speaker 1: gonna figure out some great place for us to go

95
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,320
Speaker 1: to dinner tonight. I'm gonna figure out something great. I

96
00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: have like six or seven hours to figure something out great.

97
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: And the good thing was after she had the day,

98
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 1: she said, hey, I'm sorry, it's a little too harsh.

99
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't I know you didn't do it.

101
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,839

102
00:04:46,880 --> 00:04:49,160
Speaker 1: and everything to out to be okay. And then ever

103
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,520
Speaker 1: since then I realized, okay, you know, sometimes taking a

104
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,600
Speaker 1: taking a break, like a little bit, you know, a

105
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: day or whatever, sometimes it turns out well. You can

106
00:04:57,160 --> 00:05:00,280
Speaker 1: reset and understand that all right, something happened. He can

107
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,000
Speaker 1: go forward. And that's always felt like, you know what,

00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 1: was gonna start at least one game this year. But

159
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: you kind of know that now because Mike Carbon has

160
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: had to jump everybody and say.

161
00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:09,960
Speaker 2: But they signed Tyler Hutley.

162
00:07:10,040 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: Yes, so now they signed Franklin and now they have

163
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 1: Tyler Hutley because everybody is hurt. Shadora Sanders was hurt

164
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:18,280
Speaker 1: and now he's back at practice, Dylan Gabriel is dinged up,

165
00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:21,560
Speaker 1: Kenny Pickett still hasn't practice. And so now we could

166
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: potentially get five starting quarterbacks from the Browns this year.

167
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,240
Speaker 1: If we go into the season where a couple of

168
00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,680
Speaker 1: guys are hurt and it takes them a while to come.

169
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 2: Back, five guys, you can get fun. We can go

170
00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 2: from fantastic four to five guys. That's where we're going.

171
00:07:35,040 --> 00:07:40,120
Speaker 3: Overpriced fast casual meal. By the way, I think you

172
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 3: spoiled a bunch of stuff by by bringing Franklin, because

173
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:43,560
Speaker 3: I don't think a lot of.

174
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:45,240
Speaker 2: People know who to help Franklin. I know, I think

175
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 2: you think is the dude from Peanuts. Peanut. No, you

176
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:49,320
Speaker 2: saw the.

177
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: Movie and and and you're not gonna wait, I'm gonna

178
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:54,280
Speaker 1: go see it in week three. At this point, with

179
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,560
Speaker 1: the way it dropped off, you either saw it week

180
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:59,320
Speaker 1: one and and if you really wanted to see it,

181
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,240
Speaker 1: you saw it weak. You're not saying, well week three,

182
00:08:01,280 --> 00:08:02,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go back now you saw it if you

183
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:03,240
Speaker 1: wanted to see it.

184
00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:04,960
Speaker 3: I debated seeing it again, and then I went and

185
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 3: saw the Naked Gun instead. Much much better experience. Good crowd,

186
00:08:09,880 --> 00:08:12,480
Speaker 3: h highly entertaining. But but yeah, I mean, you've got

187
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 3: Shador Sanders was listed with the the injury right to

188
00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:20,120
Speaker 3: his shoulder fatigue and all. Kurt Banker, former NFL quarterback,

189
00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 3: he's got his coach book that you can buy and

190
00:08:21,960 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 3: all it. Uh, you know, here's through the eyes of

191
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 3: a quarterback. He goes, that's usually right right about the

192
00:08:27,160 --> 00:08:29,520
Speaker 3: the injury you you announced right before you're gonna trade

193
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:29,840
Speaker 3: a guy.

194
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:34,080
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then they signed it, you know, I mean really,

195
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Tyler Huntley, who was you know, potentially

196
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: at one point was the best backup quarterback in the NFL.

197
00:08:40,880 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: And yeah, no, he wasn't gonna, you know, obviously take

198
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: the job in Baltimore. But oh, Tyler Huntley's so get

199
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:47,520
Speaker 1: he's such a great value to have, he's gonna go

200
00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,920
Speaker 1: someplace else and great, No, no, no, Now you're the

201
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,880
Speaker 1: fifth guy that you have now at practice for the Browns, right,

202
00:08:54,120 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: and clearly part of it is circumstanced because they have

203
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,800
Speaker 1: joint practice coming up tomorrow. And the next with the Panthers,

204
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,040
Speaker 1: and then their first game is this weekend. So okay,

205
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,320
Speaker 1: you need a third quarterback because you got guys danged up.

206
00:09:05,320 --> 00:09:08,040
Speaker 1: But for the whole summer it's been not enough, not

207
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,440
Speaker 1: enough reps. Now everybody's got the reps. Now you got

208
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:12,480
Speaker 1: the reps, right, flack O can get the reps. Shador

209
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 1: Sanders can get threight. You guys got got the guys

210
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:16,200
Speaker 1: the reps. Now, guy, everybody could have the reps. But

211
00:09:16,280 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: now Gabriel and and pick it. And what I mean, really,

212
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:23,760
Speaker 1: we're talking so much about Sanders and this Browns quarterback.

213
00:09:24,040 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking so much about these guys when

214
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 1: I know in a year for or in eight months

215
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: from now, it's Arch Manning.

216
00:09:29,640 --> 00:09:31,080
Speaker 2: So I don't know.

217
00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:33,959
Speaker 1: This has become like the big the only storyline of

218
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,559
Speaker 1: the summer outside of Aaron Rodgers loves Mike Tomlin. Mike

219
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:38,959
Speaker 1: Tomlin loves that, Yes, the Big bro Mans. Everything is

220
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 1: gonna be great until Aaron Rodgers actually throws the football

221
00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:43,680
Speaker 1: for real. But like this story, with all this it's

222
00:09:43,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: such an amazing uh attention suck when in the end

223
00:09:48,040 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 1: it's really gonna be okay as long as he's okay

224
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: with being a Brown. It's arch manning in eight months

225
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:54,680
Speaker 1: like that. That's how it's gonna go.

226
00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: If if he wants to come out of school. But remember,

227
00:09:56,880 --> 00:09:59,439
Speaker 3: I mean Haslam has done everything. He said, Hey, Andrew Barry,

228
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,480
Speaker 3: this is all guy Shdor Sanders is here because of

229
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:07,480
Speaker 3: him taking no responsibility, and even with the Deshaun Watson stuff,

230
00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 3: that was still a Barrier's like, no, no.

231
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,120
Speaker 2: No, it was all of us. I'm not wearing all

232
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 2: of that contract. It's not all on me.

233
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: So a little bit of that in fighting, slap fighting,

234
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:19,559
Speaker 3: and let's face it, it'll be a new front office

235
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:22,000
Speaker 3: when this goes bad, as it inevitably will. But they

236
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 3: did get Miles Garrett signed after he said he wanted

237
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 3: to trade and he wanted to take his ball and

238
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,000
Speaker 3: go home, so at least they can say they did

239
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 3: that properly. But at this point, you know, you didn't

240
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,800
Speaker 3: need to see a lot of reps from Flaccos, so

241
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 3: he just kind of floating off in no man's land.

242
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,520
Speaker 3: Picket to your two rookies. Yeah, you were hoping that

243
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: they'd they'd battle and that you'd see some separation and

244
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,480
Speaker 3: actually go through with meaningful reps and as it stands now,

245
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:53,400
Speaker 3: it's like you're just hoping to have a warm body

246
00:10:53,480 --> 00:10:56,079
Speaker 3: under center. That's where we're at in this process. I

247
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,880
Speaker 3: mean this, which is a very disappointing thing. Not that

248
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:01,560
Speaker 3: the Browns had any expects for anything, right, it's four

249
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:02,720
Speaker 3: and a half five wins.

250
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,079
Speaker 2: It's just more of a blank show.

251
00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 1: And I mean really, it's just there's no bigger blank

252
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: show in the NFL than the Cleveland Browns, no bigger.

253
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: But the quarterback you're paying all the money to is

254
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:13,800
Speaker 1: never gonna play for you again. You decide to go

255
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: out and bring in make your number one guy. You're

256
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: going after the most bridge of bridge guys. Okay, I

257
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,000
Speaker 1: get if you're tanking for next season, you're tanking for

258
00:11:24,040 --> 00:11:26,480
Speaker 1: the year after because you want a quarterback. You did, okay,

259
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: but then you overdraft a guy in the third round

260
00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: in Dylan Gabriel and then you go get Shador Sanders,

261
00:11:32,280 --> 00:11:35,599
Speaker 1: who you spent four rounds passing on. Oh, but now

262
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,320
Speaker 1: he's an assets. He's a quarterback. Either. You could do

263
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,120
Speaker 1: that with a defensive back. You can do it with

264
00:11:41,160 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: a defensive end. You can do it with a wide receiver.

265
00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 1: But you don't go, oh, now he's a value guy

266
00:11:45,600 --> 00:11:47,640
Speaker 1: at quarterback. Now if he's great, we don't pay him

267
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: for the next five years. Like what world does that

268
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,440
Speaker 1: make sense? Also, what world does it make sense? Take

269
00:11:52,480 --> 00:11:54,520
Speaker 1: a quarterback in the third round and they say okay,

270
00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: like and then take a guy in the fifth round

271
00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:57,719
Speaker 1: that was projected to go higher than the guy in

272
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,000
Speaker 1: the third round. Like, I'm trying to figure this out

273
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 1: out like everything with the Browns, and the more you

274
00:12:02,440 --> 00:12:04,840
Speaker 1: think about it, the more do they really have any

275
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: It's like guys won contests and got to run the Browns.

276
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:08,320
Speaker 4: Well.

277
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 3: Some of it plays straight out of draft day. Hey

278
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 3: what are you hearing?

279
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,640
Speaker 2: What do you know? Hey? What do you know? Sonny?

280
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,320
Speaker 3: Why's he falling? Why's he falling? I don't know, but

281
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:20,240
Speaker 3: you're on the clock. Can make us both look pretty good.

282
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:23,560
Speaker 3: Run all sorts of lines out of that. But you know,

283
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 3: when you get back to the fifth round, he's still

284
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,640
Speaker 3: sitting there. You think you could be the smartest guy

285
00:12:28,640 --> 00:12:31,000
Speaker 3: in the room, particularly if you think your job's potentially

286
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 3: in peril. It's like, hey, if this breaks right now,

287
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 3: I look like a genius. And even if Haslam and

288
00:12:36,520 --> 00:12:38,400
Speaker 3: I don't get along anymore, maybe I get a second

289
00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:41,320
Speaker 3: bite at the apple somewhere else. But where you sit

290
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 3: now is all reports were just disastrous from anything that

291
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,439
Speaker 3: wasn't the glorified hey, let's just throw it up and

292
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: let guys make plays kind of scenario. Anything that was

293
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:58,240
Speaker 3: a synchronized, choreographed and orchestrated offensive set went to hell.

294
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: And so now you sit at the precipice of another disaster.

295
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,120
Speaker 3: I want to know who in that Remember when they

296
00:13:04,200 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 3: unveiled that that giant helmet, Remember that guy fell in

297
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 3: and everybody pointed at out, Oh was the guy pointing

298
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:11,280
Speaker 3: out the fact that it was brought to you by

299
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 3: dude Wipes, brought to this special shade of brown helmet

300
00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 3: that we've ever done before, has brought to you by

301
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,280
Speaker 3: dude Wipes. It was almost like, I look, my internship

302
00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:23,840
Speaker 3: is ending, my contract ending.

303
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:25,400
Speaker 2: Here's what I'm gonna propose.

304
00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 3: And then it worked, and so this guy got over

305
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 3: because that's exactly how you described how this season is

306
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:33,200
Speaker 3: gonna go a blank show?

307
00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,920
Speaker 1: Is I mean, really, it is such I don't understand.

308
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,440
Speaker 1: It's it's such a blank show here. That's like, now

309
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: they're bringing we have to have another quarter.

310
00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:45,559
Speaker 2: But two years ago, fantastic plus one.

311
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 3: I remember just two years ago was well the Browns,

312
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,040
Speaker 3: except for the giant question market quarterback, they have one

313
00:13:52,040 --> 00:13:54,600
Speaker 3: of the constructed, one of the best rosters in football.

Speaker 5: five to seven pm Eastern. But here's the thing. We

339
00:15:06,720 --> 00:15:08,920
Speaker 5: never have enough time to get to everything we want

340
00:15:08,920 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 5: to get to.

341
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,960
Speaker 6: And that's why we have a brand new podcast called

342
00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,640
Speaker 6: over Promised. You see, we're having so much fun in

343
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 6: our two hour show. We never get to everything, honestly,

344
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,520
Speaker 6: because this guy is over promising things we never have

345
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 6: time for.

346
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,280
Speaker 5: Yeah, you blubber listen, Jam and me. Well you know

347
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: what it's called over promise. You should be good at

348
00:15:26,080 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 5: it because you've been over promising women for years.

349
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 6: Well, it's a Covino and Rich after show, and we

350
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:32,240
Speaker 6: want you to be a part of it. We're gonna

351
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,400
Speaker 6: be talking sports, of course, but we're also gonna talk

352
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 6: life and relationships, and if Rich and I are arguing

353
00:15:37,120 --> 00:15:39,280
Speaker 6: about something or we didn't have enough time, it will

354
00:15:39,320 --> 00:15:41,800
Speaker 6: continue on our after show called over Promised.

355
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,120

358
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 5: little harder. It's gonna be the best after show podcast

359
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,000

Speaker 1: We got big preseason debuts coming up in the next

00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 1: few days. We got the Browns May maybe who knows,

368
00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:19,920
Speaker 1: May had another quarterback before we finish our next conversation

369
00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,960
Speaker 1: would be great. Joining us now on the hotline. Longtime

370
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: NFL insider Odyssey Washington Post one oh five seven, the

371
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,640
Speaker 1: Fan in Baltimore. He's on Twitter at Jason Locking for

372
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: it is Jason Locking.

373
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:33,320
Speaker 2: For what's happening?

374
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: Man?

375
00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: How are you?

376
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 4: Bud Wise Man's once said, if you have a half

377
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 4: a dozen quarterbacks, you have none. I think the Browns

378
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: are off the six count.

379
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: That's true, the Cleveland six pack.

380
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:50,360
Speaker 4: How about that? That is? Look and here's a.

381
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: No, it is it is I I'm sitting here going Okay,

382
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,520
Speaker 1: last week I said they're going to start all for

383
00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,680
Speaker 1: at one point this season, they will start all for Now, like, boy,

384
00:16:59,680 --> 00:17:02,360
Speaker 1: can you really get five in? Can they go fantastic five?

385
00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: Can we get Tyler Huntley to start a game at

386
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:06,359
Speaker 1: some point so all five of these guys can.

387
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:06,760
Speaker 2: Start a game.

388
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: That's what dreams are made of. Brother, let's go, let's

389
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 4: find that. Let's find a market for that and put

390
00:17:14,280 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 4: ten dollars on it.

391
00:17:16,280 --> 00:17:18,439
Speaker 1: Well, wait a minute, you're the gambling guy. You do

392
00:17:18,520 --> 00:17:19,960
Speaker 1: tons of stuff. You can't give me some odds on

393
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: that right now? What do you got for me?

394
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,760
Speaker 4: I mean I wouldn't bet against. It's a long season.

395
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 4: Go look at their schedule. I think they might start

396
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 4: on seven. I mean the offensive line isn't what it

397
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 4: used to be. So flat, they're in trouble.

398
00:17:37,160 --> 00:17:40,240
Speaker 1: Uh you know looking at this now, okay, seeing the

399
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: injuries going for before you get on, I know you

400
00:17:42,080 --> 00:17:44,600
Speaker 1: had a big article on Joe Burrow. If I said

401
00:17:44,600 --> 00:17:47,359
Speaker 1: to you right now, the quarterback Week one for the

402
00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:49,919
Speaker 1: Browns is going to be who who are you going

403
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 1: to tell me?

404
00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:52,480
Speaker 4: So flat? Though? I mean they have to keep them

405
00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 4: in bubble wrap like there's I mean, they've got to

406
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,359
Speaker 4: treat them like e'sli Mark Jackson's like they just I mean,

407
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 4: he's been there before. You understands the terminology, like he's

408
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 4: plug and play. He's seen everything, done everything, you know.

409
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:10,920
Speaker 4: I mean, he doesn't need a lot of reps. I mean,

410
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 4: I don't think it's ever really been in question. Now,

411
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,680
Speaker 4: how long can he keep him up right? What does

412
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 4: that look like? Is he able to push the ball

413
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:23,119
Speaker 4: downfield and even try to do the stuff that they

414
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 4: did when he was there a couple of years ago.

415
00:18:25,359 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 4: I don't know they answered all that, but it's just

416
00:18:28,400 --> 00:18:30,439
Speaker 4: football team, as best I can tell, at least, you know,

417
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:31,520
Speaker 4: as long as he's.

418
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,119
Speaker 2: Upright, Jason.

419
00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 3: As we look at the division as a whole, the

420
00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:37,159
Speaker 3: Ravens are the only ones without a bunch of negative

421
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,919
Speaker 3: headlines because you've got the article Washington bo Cincinnati. We

422
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 3: keep seeing all the graphics with Hendrickson and a bunch

423
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:46,080
Speaker 3: of question marks. He's back from Florida, So I guess

424
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 3: that's a good start.

425
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:53,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I don't know, man, I don't know. I just

426
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 4: have a hard time seeing where they're better on that

427
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:59,200
Speaker 4: side of the ball. Their number, their first round draft

428
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:04,000
Speaker 4: pick the field late. He didn't participate in anything in

429
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 4: the spring, nor should he have given the contract situation.

430
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 4: Hendrickson is clearly a malcontent. I don't see where they've

431
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:15,680
Speaker 4: upgraded around those guys. People I talk to in the

432
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 4: league still see issues at all three levels of the defense.

433
00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,120
Speaker 4: I don't think they upgraded the offensive coordinator. I mean,

434
00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:26,880
Speaker 4: people are talking about Al Golden like he's I mean,

435
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:29,159
Speaker 4: I don't know. And there's something in terms of his

436
00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:32,159
Speaker 4: NFL accomplishments. I mean lou Ana Roumo one of the

437
00:19:32,240 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 4: rare people I know who. You go back and look

438
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,320
Speaker 4: at his second half defenses over a two year period

439
00:19:39,359 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 4: of time, they were pretty special. Made a lot of adjustments,

440
00:19:43,080 --> 00:19:45,840
Speaker 4: did a lot of things at halftime, including goan arrowhead

441
00:19:45,840 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 4: and shutting down peak Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes. You

442
00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,119
Speaker 4: go to the Super Bowl, I mean, we'll see, we'll

443
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: see about Al Golden. I think Al Golden don't gonna

444
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 4: be as good as his players, and I don't buy

445
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,639
Speaker 4: the players on his side of the ball. And you know,

446
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:02,280
Speaker 4: year they were hanging thirty eight on people and still losing,

447
00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 4: hanging thirty five on people and still losing, hanging thirty

448
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 4: four on people and still losing, hanging twenty eight on

449
00:20:07,320 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 4: people and still losing. I don't know that equation has

450
00:20:10,359 --> 00:20:14,040
Speaker 4: changed a whole lot. I don't know that the interior

451
00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 4: offensive line is much better than it has been. And

452
00:20:18,359 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 4: do I think that they'll beat the Browns Week one

453
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,280
Speaker 4: and maybe get off to a better start than we've

454
00:20:23,280 --> 00:20:25,800
Speaker 4: seen before in some of these septembers. I mean, there's

455
00:20:25,800 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 4: nowhere to go but up. But I still think that,

456
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 4: you know, balance is the key to this league, and

457
00:20:32,640 --> 00:20:35,440
Speaker 4: they're completely one handed. I mean, they are a one

458
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 4: handed football team and that puts a lot of pressure

459
00:20:38,680 --> 00:20:41,760
Speaker 4: on everybody, and it's not sure it's going to bring

460
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,600
Speaker 4: out the best in them.

461
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:46,680
Speaker 1: Jason Locking for our guest Jason Smith. Mike Harmon Lot

462
00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,840
Speaker 1: from the Fox Sports Radio studios. All right, to another

463
00:20:48,920 --> 00:20:52,480
Speaker 1: quarterback here. We get word today that JJ McCarthy is

464
00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:56,280
Speaker 1: going to play in the Vikings preseason opener Saturday. So far,

465
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,440
Speaker 1: it seemed to have been an up and down camp.

466
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,560
Speaker 1: What you expect from McCarthy, you know, I think the

467
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:02,160
Speaker 1: first team reps is.

468
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: That what you're hearing. Level of concern for you McCarthy.

469
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 4: Right now, I mean, I don't think there's a level

470
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,879
Speaker 4: of concern. It's a process. He's got to go through it.

471
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 4: He obviously you know that Sam Donald was the guy

472
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 4: last year and he got hurt early on, and so

473
00:21:20,160 --> 00:21:23,879
Speaker 4: there's no substitute for reps. I have a lot of

474
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:27,040
Speaker 4: faith in Kevin O'Connell. I mean, he's super smart. The

475
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:30,960
Speaker 4: term QB guru is thrown around the way to willy

476
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 4: nilly in this league, but he is one, and he's

477
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 4: going to understand better than anybody. With this kid capable

478
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:39,600
Speaker 4: of doing week to week versus that defense, versus this

479
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:44,120
Speaker 4: defense versus the other defense. I think he will try

480
00:21:44,119 --> 00:21:46,399
Speaker 4: to put him and succeed more often than not in

481
00:21:46,520 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 4: positions to continue to grow and develop and get better

482
00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 4: through the course of the season. I trust his judgments

483
00:21:54,600 --> 00:22:00,320
Speaker 4: and evaluations of those skilled players explicitly, and that damn

484
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:02,920
Speaker 4: good cast there. So it's not like this kid's got

485
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:04,960
Speaker 4: a you know, an anchor around his neck. When it

486
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:07,320
Speaker 4: comes to guys who can catch the ball, A couple

487
00:22:07,359 --> 00:22:10,520
Speaker 4: of wide receivers, a tight end, some interesting backs, we

488
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 4: can do some things. I'm catching the football as well,

489
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,439
Speaker 4: So I think that's you know, that's still going to

490
00:22:17,440 --> 00:22:19,600
Speaker 4: be an interesting football team, and I think they'll be

491
00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:23,520
Speaker 4: pretty viable. And I do think that young quarterback will

492
00:22:23,920 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 4: look a whole lot better on the other side of

493
00:22:25,800 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 4: Thanksgiving than he probably does the first six or eight leagues.

494
00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 3: So go back into the AFC North, one of the

495
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:36,520
Speaker 3: other most scrutinized squads. They did pay their defensive front

496
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: and TJ.

497
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: Watt.

498
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:42,920
Speaker 3: But every throw from Aaron Rodgers being dissected, he's being

499
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,520
Speaker 3: dominated by the defense.

500
00:22:44,760 --> 00:22:46,639
Speaker 2: What do we take from what we've seen out of

501
00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:47,480
Speaker 2: La Trobe.

502
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,399
Speaker 4: Not much yet. I you know, this time of year,

503
00:22:51,480 --> 00:22:55,920
Speaker 4: defenses should be dominating the defenses. They've ran it back.

504
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,640
Speaker 4: I mean it's the same thing, you know, like it's

505
00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:03,760
Speaker 4: being the offense. Obviously everything's new. I mean new number

506
00:23:03,800 --> 00:23:06,440
Speaker 4: one receiver. I'm going to say new number one tight

507
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:08,320
Speaker 4: end because I think John Smith's could be better in

508
00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:12,240
Speaker 4: that offense than the other guy. New feature back, not

509
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 4: that you know he hadn't been there before, But they're

510
00:23:14,560 --> 00:23:18,199
Speaker 4: not running through Naja Harris anymore. So I'm not too

511
00:23:18,280 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 4: worried about that. Like Aaron Rodgers just needs to manage

512
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:25,640
Speaker 4: the football game. He doesn't need to be super or stellar.

513
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 4: Russell Wilson was at last year there was justin fields

514
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,080
Speaker 4: and the best I can recall, the Steelers is still

515
00:23:31,119 --> 00:23:34,960
Speaker 4: in the playoffs again. I think he'll understand the assignment,

516
00:23:37,280 --> 00:23:39,520
Speaker 4: and I think the new personnel is going to allow

517
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 4: them to do some interesting things. You know. I think

518
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,639
Speaker 4: he's going to love throwing the football to Warrant. I

519
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:48,840
Speaker 4: think they'll keep the change moving that way. This guy

520
00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:52,960
Speaker 4: was for most of his career a generational red zone quarterback,

521
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:58,280
Speaker 4: and he's not going to look like when he was thirty.

522
00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,600
Speaker 4: But if he can, if he can manage the game

523
00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 4: in the red zone, I think the defense is going

524
00:24:05,280 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 4: to be pretty damn good. And I think Mike Tomlin

525
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 4: still Mike Tomlins. So the Steelers are going to be

526
00:24:10,119 --> 00:24:12,960
Speaker 4: pushing for the postseason and December, same as it always was.

527
00:24:13,840 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: All right, Jay, let's say because he does a lot

528
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 1: of things for me like this, so I'll do the

529
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:20,919
Speaker 1: asking for Mike Harmon here. With Caleb Williams being on

530
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: the hot seat going into week one here, I really

531
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,760
Speaker 1: like I like everything I've seen I've heard from him.

532
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,080
Speaker 1: I think he's in a more position to succeed this year.

533
00:24:30,119 --> 00:24:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a big year from him. You on board

534
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:35,560
Speaker 1: with Caleb Williams really making that breakthrough jump board. He

535
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:36,480
Speaker 1: has some concerns.

536
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:39,680
Speaker 4: I mean, I think Ben Johnson's got a lot on

537
00:24:39,760 --> 00:24:44,600
Speaker 4: his plate, you know. I think the days of being

538
00:24:44,600 --> 00:24:46,679
Speaker 4: able to spend all your time with the quarterback and

539
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 4: scheme up all your cute plays and all that, that's

540
00:24:49,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 4: not what's That's a small part of what a head

541
00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 4: coach does. So it's not even for me really reflection

542
00:24:55,600 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 4: on Caleb Williams. He was part of a bad operation

543
00:24:58,520 --> 00:25:01,399
Speaker 4: before with a bad head coach should have been can

544
00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:03,679
Speaker 4: long ago. We shouldn't they got his hands on him

545
00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 4: in the first place, and so whenever you start that way,

546
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:10,359
Speaker 4: you know, to my spidey fence's tangle. And then now, look,

547
00:25:10,560 --> 00:25:13,880
Speaker 4: everybody wants to say Ben Johnson'll be great, but I've

548
00:25:13,920 --> 00:25:15,600
Speaker 4: heard that about a lot of guys before. They said

549
00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 4: that about McDaniel. I'm looking at him three years later.

550
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,280
Speaker 4: So I do think there's going to be a learning curve,

551
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:23,840
Speaker 4: Like I don't know that they come out of the

552
00:25:23,880 --> 00:25:26,760
Speaker 4: shoot and this coach has it all figured out. And

553
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 4: even just from a time management standpoint, I think he's

554
00:25:32,280 --> 00:25:34,920
Speaker 4: in good hands and I think they'll you know that

555
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:40,280
Speaker 4: that offense will over time become something far more formidable

556
00:25:40,320 --> 00:25:43,720
Speaker 4: than we've expected a Bears offenses in general for the

557
00:25:43,760 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 4: better part of forty years. I know that's not saying much,

558
00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,399
Speaker 4: but I'm not, like, you know what I mean, Like

559
00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:53,639
Speaker 4: I think New England and Chicago. I think like I

560
00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:57,520
Speaker 4: buy it, like more or less long term, Like I

561
00:25:57,520 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 4: don't know that I buy it the first six weeks

562
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,880
Speaker 4: of the season, like I'll probably be fading those teams

563
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,040
Speaker 4: a little bit, Like I think the lines are going

564
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 4: to favor them more than they probably should. I think

565
00:26:08,480 --> 00:26:12,120
Speaker 4: Vegas will realize people are buying into the hype, and

566
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,400
Speaker 4: I kind of got to see it from both from

567
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 4: both those operations.

568
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:18,760
Speaker 2: Last it wouldn't be a visit.

569
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:20,959
Speaker 3: I mean, we could go into justin fields and that

570
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 3: fun jet stuff, but plenty of time for that to

571
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:26,080
Speaker 3: marrin eate in the interim. Did you read the ninety

572
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 3: thousand word notes file from Micah Parsons Jason Meyron the

573
00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 3: divided front here, I think eventually, because he's in meetings

574
00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,879
Speaker 3: and hanging around the sidelines, he's the little kid that

575
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 3: wants back in and you just have to figure it out.

576
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 4: Money always talks. I think the mouth Garrett situation was

577
00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:52,640
Speaker 4: for me, one that had much more potential to get

578
00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:55,600
Speaker 4: really real and force his way out. And ultimately even

579
00:26:55,640 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 4: then money talking, and he can't make as much money

580
00:26:59,520 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 4: off season are off the field as a Cleveland Brown

581
00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 4: as Michael Parson can as a Dallas Cowboy. And you know,

582
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,760
Speaker 4: Jerry certainly has a way of alienating people. And Jerry

583
00:27:09,920 --> 00:27:12,560
Speaker 4: this stuff about circumventing agents, I mean, this is not

584
00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:15,119
Speaker 4: this is not new. I mean I started covering the

585
00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 4: NFL twenty one years ago and it was it was

586
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,199
Speaker 4: you talk to agents then and they'd be complaining about it,

587
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 4: like the going on forever with the biggest of the

588
00:27:26,600 --> 00:27:29,160
Speaker 4: big stars. You tell me how many left in their

589
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,919
Speaker 4: prime healthy for greener passions, like if you know what

590
00:27:32,920 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 4: I mean, Like even Romo, I mean it turned out

591
00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:37,320
Speaker 4: Romo was I mean, that was pretty much the end

592
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 4: and he was hurt anyway when he know it was

593
00:27:39,480 --> 00:27:43,320
Speaker 4: seriously hurt when that displaced him. Like how many people

594
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 4: in their prime as marketable as Michael Parkson, who sold

595
00:27:48,840 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 4: as many jerseys as Michael Parkson left there because Jerry

596
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,840
Speaker 4: wanted draft picks and somebody else wanted to pay him

597
00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 4: more money than Jerry it doesn't seem to me that

598
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,080
Speaker 4: that happens very often. So I think at the end

599
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,720
Speaker 4: of the day, he'll hold them over a barrel and

600
00:28:04,920 --> 00:28:07,439
Speaker 4: you'll have Dack on one side and you'll have mikeel

601
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 4: on the other, and they're gonna have these outlier contracts

602
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,320
Speaker 4: and people are gonna be like and Mike's you know,

603
00:28:12,840 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 4: arguably more influential. But you tell me how many playoff

604
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 4: wins he has. Tell me about all his signature playoff moments,

605
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,199
Speaker 4: and I got news for you, he ain't gonna have

606
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 4: any in the next two or three years either, because

607
00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:23,320
Speaker 4: they're not built for it.

608
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: He's on Twitter at Jason lock and for that is

609
00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:30,600
Speaker 1: at Jason lock and for Odyssey Washington Post. Check out

610
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,879
Speaker 1: the latest on Joe Burrow on the Post one oh

611
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:35,680
Speaker 1: five seven the fan in Baltimore. Jay is always buddy appreciated.

612
00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:35,800
Speaker 4: Man.

613
00:28:35,840 --> 00:28:37,840
Speaker 2: If the Brown sign another quarterback, we'll call you back.

614
00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 4: Let's go, let's shoot for let's shoot for eight. I

615
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:44,720
Speaker 4: want to hate by the time we talk next week. Easy.

616
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:47,880
Speaker 2: But Jason, you know it's funny. We could be there.

617
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,280
Speaker 1: We could we could be like Shandor Sanders is just

618
00:28:50,280 --> 00:28:52,320
Speaker 1: coming back from a storm. He can wind up being

Speaker 1: You add the ages of all the younger guys together,

630
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: they still don't add up to Joe Flacco, and still

631
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Flacco's the healthiest guy. Just think about that second. Think

Speaker 7: high ankle spraining. Eagles wide receiver AJ Brown did not

649
00:30:13,080 --> 00:30:16,360

650
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,240
Speaker 7: kicker Greg Joseph, needing the roster space, so Jake Moody

Speaker 2: Justin Fields can still be their quarterback.

666
00:31:08,600 --> 00:31:11,120
Speaker 7: Well, the problem is Syracuse keeps stealing all of them.

667
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,720
Speaker 7: So when you're dealing with a power like that, well

668

Speaker 7: we do.

669
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:15,880

00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,760
Speaker 2: but we kind of did. Uh.

775
00:36:01,400 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: Friday night, the Yankees lost to the Marlins, and one

776
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:08,520
Speaker 1: of the biggest, most shocking give backs you will see, right,

777
00:36:08,640 --> 00:36:12,520
Speaker 1: all the Yankees new players from the deadline imploded, whether

778
00:36:12,560 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 1: it was cabiiro in the field, the new relievers who

779
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: all gave up runs. And I said, this is one

780
00:36:17,600 --> 00:36:20,840
Speaker 1: of those games that you could look back at the

781
00:36:20,920 --> 00:36:22,880
Speaker 1: end of the year and go, this is the end

782
00:36:22,920 --> 00:36:25,400
Speaker 1: of the Yankee season. Right, Not all losses are created

783
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: equal in one hundred and sixty two game seasons. About

784
00:36:27,320 --> 00:36:30,840
Speaker 1: what happened after that? Marlin swept the Yankees? Right, Marlins

785
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,879
Speaker 1: don't sweep the Yankees? Right, doesn't ever happen? And the

786
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:37,600
Speaker 1: Marlins sweep the Yankees. Right now, the Yankees are trying

787
00:36:37,600 --> 00:36:39,840
Speaker 1: to hold on to a five to four lead against

788
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,360
Speaker 1: the Rangers, who are coming to bat in the bottom

789
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:46,520
Speaker 1: of the ninth inning. And we said this on Friday.

790
00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:48,319
Speaker 1: Look this is and the Yankees are hoping to get

791
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Judge back. They are grasping at straws right now.

792
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:54,359
Speaker 1: But it comes down to this, right And I read

793
00:36:54,360 --> 00:36:57,680
Speaker 1: this today was really weird that that someone I forget

794
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,520
Speaker 1: it was on Twitter said I don't understand yo. Tory

795
00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: won four championships in seven years and still it wasn't enough,

796
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:08,080
Speaker 1: and the Yankees fired him after however, many non championship years.

797
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:10,279
Speaker 1: Aaron Boone has not won a title in eight years,

798
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:14,719
Speaker 1: and still he's the manager. If the Yankees free fall continues,

799
00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:16,719
Speaker 1: and they've already lost ten games in the standings in

800
00:37:16,719 --> 00:37:19,520
Speaker 1: the last five weeks, if the free fall comes to

801
00:37:19,520 --> 00:37:24,040
Speaker 1: the point where they start falling out of the wild

802
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:28,200
Speaker 1: card race, like they start falling two three games behind,

803
00:37:29,040 --> 00:37:32,560
Speaker 1: they'll fire Aaron Boone at before the season ends. They're

804
00:37:32,600 --> 00:37:34,239
Speaker 1: not gonna wait till the end of the season and

805
00:37:34,320 --> 00:37:37,160
Speaker 1: give away what could be a good year if guys

806
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:38,160
Speaker 1: come back healthy.

807
00:37:38,239 --> 00:37:39,200
Speaker 2: Whatever, it's going to be.

808
00:37:39,800 --> 00:37:41,680
Speaker 1: This is not gonna be where the Yankees say, well,

809
00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:44,040
Speaker 1: we just stink and we're completely gonna give this away.

810
00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,440
Speaker 1: They're gonna get rid of Aaron Boon anyway, right if

811
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:47,960
Speaker 1: if they have a year where they go from the

812
00:37:47,960 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: World Series to missing the playoffs, Aaron Boone's out. But

813
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,759
Speaker 1: if they fall to a point where they're looking at hey,

814
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,680
Speaker 1: we're they're already looking up at the Red Sox in

815
00:37:55,719 --> 00:37:58,480
Speaker 1: the standings, which is insane considering how the Red Sox started.

816
00:37:58,920 --> 00:38:01,399
Speaker 1: If they follow that point, they're like three games out

817
00:38:01,440 --> 00:38:04,680
Speaker 1: and you're getting into the late part of August, they

818
00:38:04,680 --> 00:38:06,759
Speaker 1: will fire Aaron Boon. It will be somebody else new

819
00:38:06,800 --> 00:38:09,160
Speaker 1: in there, because obviously the old can't fire the players

820
00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:11,360
Speaker 1: looking for way to spark the Yankees, they're not gonna

821
00:38:11,360 --> 00:38:13,560
Speaker 1: watch this season, just circle down the drain.

822
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:15,560
Speaker 2: I would say Boons.

823
00:38:15,200 --> 00:38:19,880
Speaker 1: Got till August twentieth, Between twentieth twenty fifth the Yankees

824
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,000
Speaker 1: to really pick things up again and maybe look, maybe

825
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,080
Speaker 1: they don't go back and win the division, but staying

826
00:38:24,120 --> 00:38:26,600
Speaker 1: in a big wildcard spot that will buy him at

827
00:38:26,680 --> 00:38:29,239
Speaker 1: least the rest of the year. But again, watch if

828
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,320
Speaker 1: they fall a couple of games out, three games I

829
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:34,680
Speaker 1: forget it. Aaron Boon's gone. He's a ghost where it's

830
00:38:34,719 --> 00:38:36,120
Speaker 1: hard to understand.

831
00:38:36,120 --> 00:38:38,640
Speaker 3: And we talked about it even as they got all

832
00:38:38,680 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 3: the way to the World Series, ultimately folding.

833
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:43,759
Speaker 2: They did so in spite of themselves.

834
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 3: Right, how many games did we watch sitting here in

835
00:38:45,960 --> 00:38:50,000
Speaker 3: the studio, going wow, that base running and fielding and

836
00:38:50,040 --> 00:38:51,640
Speaker 3: all of this is gonna come back to bite him

837
00:38:51,640 --> 00:38:53,280
Speaker 3: in the ass. And it did on the biggest stage,

838
00:38:53,560 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 3: which normally is your manager walks the plank. But since

839
00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:02,320
Speaker 3: Cashman's there, he's got seemingly the lifetime deal.

840
00:39:03,040 --> 00:39:03,400
Speaker 2: Uh.

841
00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,000
Speaker 3: And this goes back to the divide I think between

842
00:39:06,040 --> 00:39:08,680
Speaker 3: where Boone is and Tori. I'd be curious how much

843
00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:10,440
Speaker 3: Boone actually calls any of the shots.

844
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:11,200
Speaker 4: Right?

845
00:39:11,600 --> 00:39:14,960
Speaker 3: Are they working a system something akin to what the

846
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:19,239
Speaker 3: Dodgers do? I mean Dave Roberts with great you know acuity,

847
00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:21,360
Speaker 3: And obviously he gets a lot of credit for what

848
00:39:21,400 --> 00:39:23,719
Speaker 3: they did with the bullpen, but when it goes wrong,

849
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 3: it becomes me, well, he's he's got the food chain.

850
00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,719
Speaker 3: So you got to decide where where, what percentages the

851
00:39:29,760 --> 00:39:35,000
Speaker 3: managerial gut decision versus you know, what's the organizational and

852
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: in the end, you know when we see the air mailing.

853
00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,960
Speaker 2: From Volpi or whatever. I mean, there's nothing airon Boone's.

854
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:44,799
Speaker 3: Gonna be able to do about that, or the new

855
00:39:44,880 --> 00:39:48,799
Speaker 3: bullpen pieces that they acquired for him implode. This is how,

856
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,320
Speaker 3: this is what I was supposed to do. I can't

857
00:39:51,320 --> 00:39:54,279
Speaker 3: make the pitch for him now. Before I never thought

858
00:39:54,280 --> 00:39:57,200
Speaker 3: I'd stand up for Aaron Boone. But before you think

859
00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:59,080
Speaker 3: it's the point, you know what I mean. I know

860
00:39:59,239 --> 00:40:01,200
Speaker 3: it's not that you're not I'm not saying it's Aaron

861
00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,600
Speaker 3: Boone's fault, but I live in reality where the yank

862
00:40:03,680 --> 00:40:04,440
Speaker 3: What are you gonna.

863
00:40:04,200 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: Do at that point?

864
00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:07,279
Speaker 1: There's something, There's no trades you can make, There's nothing

865
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:09,400
Speaker 1: else you can do. So what you're gonna get rid

866
00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:11,840
Speaker 1: if the season ends horribly, you're gonna get rid of

867
00:40:11,920 --> 00:40:12,360
Speaker 1: him anyway.

868
00:40:12,440 --> 00:40:14,840
Speaker 2: Right, So we're all the way. You're looking at something and.

869
00:40:16,920 --> 00:40:20,120
Speaker 1: You from and before you think this can't happen, Okay,

870
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:22,399
Speaker 1: before you think this can happen, let me just tell

871
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,600
Speaker 1: you right now they have a half game lead on

872
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:29,359
Speaker 1: Seattle for the third Wild Card. Texas is two games back,

873
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:31,640
Speaker 1: Cleveland is two and a half games back. Then you

874
00:40:31,719 --> 00:40:33,640
Speaker 1: got the Royals are still right there. But let's just

875
00:40:33,640 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 1: say here, the Yankees are right now Texas creeping up

876
00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,760
Speaker 1: on them. So it's there for the Yankees. And speaking

877
00:40:39,840 --> 00:40:41,759
Speaker 1: of it being there for the Yankees, as we are

878
00:40:41,800 --> 00:40:47,120
Speaker 1: talking about this, Jock Peterson homer's off of Devin Williams

879
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,640
Speaker 1: to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth

880
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,239
Speaker 1: inning five to five.

881
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:53,439
Speaker 2: His third home run of the year.

882
00:40:53,920 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 1: Pend that Jack Peterson, Pete Alonzo broke Devin Williams. Man,

883
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,000
Speaker 1: he broke him last year. This is this would be

884
00:41:01,120 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 1: yet another incredibly death. You think, Okay, we lost the Martin.

885
00:41:04,760 --> 00:41:07,879
Speaker 1: Let's reset here and now they potentially could lose here

886
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:10,240
Speaker 1: in the ninth inning and a walk off Devin Waders

887
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,400
Speaker 1: giving up a big home run to Jock Peterson.

888
00:41:12,440 --> 00:41:14,759
Speaker 3: He's walking around the mountain talking to himself, putting his

889
00:41:14,840 --> 00:41:16,439
Speaker 3: glove over his selling health.

890
00:41:16,520 --> 00:41:17,239
Speaker 2: I don't know how much.

891
00:41:17,280 --> 00:41:19,600
Speaker 1: Maybe another couple of weeks, Aaron Boone has maybe another

892
00:41:19,640 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 1: couple of run coming up. Next we have I could

893
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,080
Speaker 1: guarantee you it will be the hottest take of the week.

894
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:28,040
Speaker 2: Next Yeah,
