Speaker 3: Yeah.

14
00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 5: Man, it's kind of surprising that that happened the way

15
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,120
Speaker 5: it did, considering about a month and a half ago,

16
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 5: Kyle Winningham was trying to be forced into early retirement

17
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:53,239
Speaker 5: by the people in Utah. They decided they'd had enough

18
00:00:53,280 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 5: of him. They want him to go out and kind

19
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,160
Speaker 5: of leave them alone. And he said, I'm not retiring,

20
00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 5: I'm kind of entering the transfer portal. All it took

21
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 5: was a Sharon Moore misstep to now he is the

22
00:01:03,520 --> 00:01:06,679
Speaker 5: new headman at Michigan. He got a five year deal

23
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:11,639
Speaker 5: and at sixty six years old, brighter days, they're ahead

24
00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:12,200
Speaker 5: in ann Arbor.

00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 1: out here, these young coaches. A sixty six year old guy,

27
00:01:19,240 --> 00:01:22,959
Speaker 1: you give him a five year contract. Thumbs down on this.

43
00:02:08,120 --> 00:02:11,520
Speaker 3: Two in January. He's a man of six. He's been

44
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 3: acting like this eighty six. He's been in Utah for

45
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,359
Speaker 3: twenty one years? Are you?

46
00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: Nothing good has ever come out of Utah? Can you

47
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: give me something the good that's come out of Utah

48
00:02:21,600 --> 00:02:22,800
Speaker 1: twenty one years.

49
00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 3: That's the best Michigan can do.

50
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 6: Johnny Utah from point yeah, that's the best Michigan could do.

51
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: A sixty six year old guy as their head coach

52
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: and give that guy a five year contract, taking him

53
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 1: into his seventies.

54
00:02:36,040 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 3: That's a bad liars.

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 4: Here's here's why I think it'll work for exactly that

56
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: duration of the contract, three to five years. Here's why

57
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 4: do I think this is Obviously you got your your

58
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 4: your twenty years ago, Nick Saban, give or take no.

59
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:51,639
Speaker 4: But what I think you do have is a guy

60
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 4: who all of a sudden can get this thing right

61
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:57,919
Speaker 4: because he has been very successful in Utah. I mean

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: undefeated seasons in two seasons, beating USC, beating all the

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 4: Pac twelve teams he had to beat.

64
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 3: That's why. That's why I asked him.

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: That's why he entered the because they didn't think why,

66
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 1: they didn't want to make.

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,440
Speaker 4: I wanna tell you, and that's perfectly fine because things

68
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:14,240
Speaker 4: run their course.

69
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 3: We talk about this all the time.

70
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:19,240
Speaker 4: Mike Tomlin hasn't had a bad season, but it might

71
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 4: be time to go away. You talk about John Harpo

72
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,760
Speaker 4: hasn't really had a bad season, but it might be

73
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:24,560
Speaker 4: time to go away.

74
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:27,600
Speaker 3: It happens. Twenty one season with anyone is a long time.

75
00:03:27,880 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: So I think the given what he has been able

76
00:03:30,240 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: to do for so many years in Utah, make them

77
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 4: a very relevant team, always in the top twenty, always

78
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:38,320
Speaker 4: the top fifteen for that times. And then you have

79
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 4: it now with Michigan's and dominated resources, with Michigan's ability

80
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 4: to get some commitments.

81
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I was gonna say. I just got a text

82
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: from Charles Barkley. He said, two good things did come

83
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,000
Speaker 1: out of Utah. You ready, John starked in and called

84
00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:53,960
Speaker 1: them alone. All right, Charles, you might have that.

85
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,680
Speaker 4: Right, that's the best. That's the best that came out

86
00:03:57,720 --> 00:03:58,560
Speaker 4: of Utah right there.

87
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: That's about it. I'm sorry. Nothing else. You can't even

88
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: get a drink in a bar in Utah, you know

89
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:06,240
Speaker 1: that side like city.

90
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,720
Speaker 4: You ain't lying about that, listen. That's and that might

91
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 4: be why he didn't want to call it quits. He

92
00:04:10,640 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 4: might still have some party in them and some going

93
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,720
Speaker 4: on the drinking them. Come on out to somewhere else.

94
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 4: Can't do that in Utah. But I think this is

95
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 4: absolutely a stopgap Rob. I don't think they found their

96
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,200
Speaker 4: guy of the future. They didn't find their twenty year

97
00:04:22,279 --> 00:04:24,480
Speaker 4: stretch guy. They're still looking for that. But this is

98
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:26,440
Speaker 4: a guy who could come in. He's known for discipline,

99
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 4: he's known for physicality, which are two things that would

100
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:29,280
Speaker 4: go well.

101
00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:29,599
Speaker 3: In that harbor.

102
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:32,680
Speaker 4: And if he can do what he did in Utah

103
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:36,000
Speaker 4: with the resources and the and the commitments and recruits,

104
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,080
Speaker 4: he should be able to get. With that big blue

105
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 4: Michigan behind him, he should do very well.

106
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just a national title, all right?

107
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:47,000
Speaker 3: Is he gonna win one?

108
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: If you would have give if you would, if you

109
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:50,760
Speaker 1: would have say to me, he's gonna he's gonna win

110
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,479
Speaker 1: a national championship. I can't buy it. Ohio State's there,

111
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: They're not going anywhere. They still have a Yo.

112
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,000
Speaker 3: Vibe about the way this year Indiana about the b K.

113
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, but they have a young, vibrant coach. They

114
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: don't have some old man who's sixty six years old.

115
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 1: Oregon's rolling where where they.

160
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: me from wrong, and just five interceptions correct. But of

161
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,640
Speaker 1: course here was yet another big game where he went

162
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:17,400
Speaker 1: to bed. He did it last year after getting the

163
00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: number one seed in the NFC. Taking on a rookie quarterback,

164
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,840
Speaker 1: he turned the ball over four times right, four times,

165
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:27,720
Speaker 1: three interceptions and a fumble.

166
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,520
Speaker 3: Here he is.

167
00:07:29,640 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: He has five of the Lions six turnovers. We talked

168
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: about the Lions did they had more turnovers than the

169
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: bakery yesterday against the third string quarterback who robbed g

170
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:44,040
Speaker 1: had the net yards passing yards of negative three? Is

171
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: that what it was? Negative of three yards? Net passing

172
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:54,760
Speaker 1: yards of three yards Calvin in a game just to

173
00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: keep their hopes alive, right, It didn't mean you made

174
00:07:57,120 --> 00:07:58,120
Speaker 1: the playoffs, by right?

175
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,480
Speaker 3: I mean, if they couldn't happen, you gotta at least

176
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:03,760
Speaker 3: win it against the nobody.

177
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:06,040
Speaker 1: The guy only had like forty one yards, am I

178
00:08:06,120 --> 00:08:09,360
Speaker 1: righthar was a fifty one yards rob g passing fifty

179
00:08:09,440 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: one yards.

180
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 3: But no, he has five turnovers.

181
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:19,520
Speaker 1: If you want to know why he became available to

182
00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lions, it's because and remember the Lions got

183
00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,560
Speaker 1: a lot of picks in it too, I get it right.

184
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: But the reason that they, the Rams who went to

185
00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: the Super Bowl with Jared Golf moved on is they

186
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,439
Speaker 1: couldn't believe this guy can't win a big game for them.

187
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,319
Speaker 1: That was what they believed. And if you have not

188
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: watched the last couple of years and you're still not convinced,

189
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:45,839
Speaker 1: if I'm the Lions.

190
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 3: Hello, is this on?

191
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 1: I would do whatever I could in my power to

192
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: move off of Jared Golf. He's not going to get

193
00:08:57,360 --> 00:09:00,559
Speaker 1: you where you're trying to go, where you win games,

194
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:04,160
Speaker 1: Yes you will. Will you be in the mix somehow,

195
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: some way, Yes you will. But the ultimate goal in Detroit,

196
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,240
Speaker 1: who was never right, which has never won a super Bowl,

197
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:15,760
Speaker 1: is to win the Super Bowl. I am convinced a

198
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,599
Speaker 1: thousand percent that Jared Goff will never win you a

199
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:22,679
Speaker 1: super Bowl. And even if they have to eat the

200
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,320
Speaker 1: contract like they did with Russell Wilson, look at the Broncos.

201
00:09:27,880 --> 00:09:34,200
Speaker 1: They took an unbelievable hit to walk away from Russell

202
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 1: Wilson and guess where they are fighting for the number

203
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: one seed in the AFC with a chance with that defense,

204
00:09:42,440 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 1: a chance to get to the super Bowl.

205
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:44,520
Speaker 3: That's rue.

206
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,079
Speaker 1: At some point you have to be honest and look

207
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:51,480
Speaker 1: at a guy and goal he's good. He can get

208
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: me to a certain place. It happens with coaches all

209
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,760
Speaker 1: the time. Came when we talk about it. This coach

210
00:09:56,880 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 1: got me here, he can't get me over the hump,

211
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: and sometimes you gotta make it.

212
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:08,240
Speaker 3: Probably the greatest move in NFL history, one of.

213
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:14,439
Speaker 1: What's when the Tampa Bay Bucks said to Tony Dungee,

214
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 1: thank you, but.

215
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: We've had enough, and they hired John Gruden.

216
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: And guess what With Tony Dungee's team, John Gruden won

217
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:32,000
Speaker 1: that franchise a Super Bowl. Don't be afraid of the unknown,

218
00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 1: be afraid of the known.

219
00:10:36,200 --> 00:10:38,480
Speaker 3: And that is what you need to be afraid of.

220
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 3: Be afraid of the known.

221
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: The known is that Jared Golf can't win a big

222
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 1: game when you need it. It's happened way too often

223
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 1: for a guy who's put up the kind of numbers

224
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,920
Speaker 1: that he's put up. Detroit Lions, don't be satisfied. You

225
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 1: still have a good nucleus, but.

226
00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 3: You're not gonna win anything with Jared Golf. I'm convinced

227
00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: of that couple. Okay, so a couple of things.

228
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:11,480
Speaker 4: Jared Goff has been for a guy who was traded for,

229
00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 4: a guy who people thought was just gonna be a

230
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:15,400
Speaker 4: guy that obviously, if you're lines, you get this guy

231
00:11:15,440 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 4: in the trade, he'll go away in a year or

232
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,079
Speaker 4: two and you'll move on.

233
00:11:18,559 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 3: Has all of a sudden been a part of the

234
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 3: rebuild of Detroit. He's been part of the turnaround of Detroit.

235
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:25,280
Speaker 4: He has been as you know, for being there for

236
00:11:25,320 --> 00:11:29,040
Speaker 4: twenty years, the only time in my life except for

237
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 4: maybe a year or so in like mid nineties, where

238
00:11:32,679 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 4: being in a super Bowl or having Super Bowl aspirations

239
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 4: were absolutely warranted the last two or three years. And so,

240
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: while I admit, and I said this to you guys

241
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 4: about three four weeks ago, the Lion's window with Jared

242
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 4: Goff is very it is very close to being closed.

243
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:51,240
Speaker 4: I agree, and I said this because of this. Jared

244
00:11:51,320 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 4: Goff is exceptionally talented. When everything is exactly aligned. When

245
00:11:56,920 --> 00:11:59,199
Speaker 4: everything is aligned with him, you know what you get.

246
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:03,640
Speaker 4: You get second and passing yards, second and passing touchdowns,

247
00:12:03,840 --> 00:12:08,079
Speaker 4: third and passer rating tied for fifth lowest interceptions. You'll

248
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:10,840
Speaker 4: get that year after year after year when things are

249
00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 4: perfectly aligned. And to his credit, he did do that

250
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,559
Speaker 4: this year when things were not in line, because this

251
00:12:16,679 --> 00:12:18,920
Speaker 4: season had a bunch of injuries. This season had a

252
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,040
Speaker 4: bunch of miscalculations by his own coach put him in

253
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,160
Speaker 4: bad spots. The challenge with Jared Goff is rob and

254
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,719
Speaker 4: I said this a few weeks ago. He is the

255
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 4: last of a dying breed. Stand in the pocket, take one, two, three, four,

256
00:12:33,200 --> 00:12:35,440
Speaker 4: step back. Somebody has to be open.

257
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:36,320
Speaker 3: He can't.

258
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:39,200
Speaker 4: Dan Campbell I was shocked he said this publicly at

259
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,319
Speaker 4: laughter last night's game. He said, if he can't put

260
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,160
Speaker 4: his back foot down, if he can't step forward, well

261
00:12:45,240 --> 00:12:47,679
Speaker 4: it's gonna be hard for him because he doesn't have

262
00:12:47,840 --> 00:12:51,920
Speaker 4: Caleb williams es capability and talent and just pure sheer athleticism.

263
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,360
Speaker 4: He doesn't have it like a Jared Jordan Love He

264
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,960
Speaker 4: you mentioned Bo Nicks. He doesn't have a Josh Allen,

265
00:12:57,040 --> 00:13:01,719
Speaker 4: Lamar Jackson, almost Drake May. Almost every quarterback SAMs for

266
00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 4: maybe four Our mobile, our athletic can get out of

267
00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,480
Speaker 4: the pocket, can create things. So when sometimes it's not

268
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 4: a great design, go make something happen. Jarrett Goff ain't

269
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,800
Speaker 4: that So if the Lions, who don't want to take

270
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 4: a cap hit of I think it's almost ninety eight

271
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:20,719
Speaker 4: million dollars this offseason, if they were just a you know,

272
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:23,440
Speaker 4: let him go, and you mentioned the Russell Wilson which

273
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,760
Speaker 4: was like eighty million, then they're gonna be stuck with him.

274
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:28,839
Speaker 4: And the thing they have to do is say this

275
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:33,440
Speaker 4: is our guy. We're second, second, third, fifth, lowis with him.

276
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 4: They have to have the top one, two or three

277
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 4: offensive line. Rob, that's it. You have to otherwise it

278
00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:44,280
Speaker 4: is going to implode in your face because he cannot

279
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:48,319
Speaker 4: be good or even solid if he's not protected. You

280
00:13:48,679 --> 00:13:52,160
Speaker 4: have to have the top three offensive line with Jared Goff.

281
00:13:52,440 --> 00:13:54,520
Speaker 4: There's no other way around it, because then you can

282
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 4: have a running game and it protects him as well.

283
00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,719
Speaker 4: If you're not gonna protect him with the running game,

284
00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 4: which they didn't really last quarter of the season, and

285
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,320
Speaker 4: if you're not gonna protect them with the offensive line

286
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 4: where you see teams pressure in him almost forty percent

287
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,360
Speaker 4: pressure on every drop back, he's not gonna be successful.

288
00:14:09,520 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 4: He's gonna have games like that and it's gonna cost

289
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Speaker 4: you as a team. So I think they're gonna come

290
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:17,560
Speaker 4: back next season because next season, Rob after it. Then

291
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:20,120
Speaker 4: he drops down the Nigga's upper twenties twenty eight twenty

292
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 4: nine million dollars to cap it. That's much more feasible,

293
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 4: much more realistic.

294
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:26,320
Speaker 3: And so I think that we just saw Russell wi

295
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,760
Speaker 3: Russell Wilson was eighty five million.

296
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,040
Speaker 4: I mean, and I get you on the money, but

297
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:33,680
Speaker 4: I think that's a massive gamble. Thats we know teams

298
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,800
Speaker 4: don't want to take they just took it. Sean Payton

299
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 4: convinced him they obviously they couldn't go on. There was

300
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,560
Speaker 4: a rift between them. Golf and Dan Campbell love each other.

301
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it's not about It's not about whether I

302
00:14:44,840 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 3: like the guy or not.

303
00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,800
Speaker 1: How many big games you can't even be the third

304
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:54,280
Speaker 1: string quarterback who threw for fifty one yards and I

305
00:14:54,400 --> 00:14:56,240
Speaker 1: get the pressure and the offensive line.

306
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,040
Speaker 3: Okay, I get that.

307
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,040
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to act like everything is perfect, but

308
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:03,120
Speaker 1: that's not how football is. Everything's not gonna be perfect

309
00:15:03,200 --> 00:15:05,760
Speaker 1: for you, and you gotta be able to adjust. Even

310
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: in watching that game, there were throws there when he

311
00:15:09,920 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 1: had protection in some time and he missed those.

312
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 4: I mean, because you know, you know what that reminds

313
00:15:14,120 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 4: me of. That's a good point. That reminds me of CJ. Stroud,

314
00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: and that reminds me of two At times. There's a

315
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 4: handful of quarterbacks this year who have been running for

316
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 4: their life, and what happens is you start to have

317
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:31,080
Speaker 4: PTSD even when it's not there. You start freaking out,

318
00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 4: even when the play is actually there, step up in

319
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 4: the pocket, make the throw. Lamar Jackson has had that

320
00:15:35,800 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 4: sometimes where you're just panicking when it's not even time

321
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:39,000
Speaker 4: to panic.

322
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 3: The pocket was good, and that's.

323
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 4: What happens when you've been running, especially for a guy

324
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,840
Speaker 4: like a Jared Goff who is not able to escape,

325
00:15:45,880 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: other guys can escape. Justin Herbert has been escaping more

326
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,440
Speaker 4: this year than I've seen his whole dagone career, because

327
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:52,960
Speaker 4: he's like, Hey, if it's a play to be made,

328
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 4: I'm gonna have to make it, I'm gonna have to

329
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:54,640
Speaker 4: take it.

330
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,520
Speaker 3: And I think that is gonna be the standard now.

331
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 4: It's like a big man in the NBA rop back

332
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,200
Speaker 4: in the day, if all you could do is dunk

333
00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,320
Speaker 4: and block a shot. Cool, come on up here, big

334
00:16:04,440 --> 00:16:07,360
Speaker 4: seven footer. Now, if you can't shoot past Tripple as

335
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: a big man, you're useless. Okay, you can't win, be

336
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 4: and beat me and yokich me. And I think Jared

337
00:16:13,160 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 4: Goff is the last of that breed quarterbacks who are

338
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,840
Speaker 4: only good on the drop back and that's it. And

339
00:16:17,960 --> 00:16:19,480
Speaker 4: I think the Lions are going to have to move

340
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: on in the next after next year.

341
00:16:22,320 --> 00:16:25,440
Speaker 3: So you're convinced like I am, that he can't win

342
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl for you next year, is they're only here.

343
00:16:28,640 --> 00:16:31,040
Speaker 2: Be sure to catch live editions of The Odd Couple

344

Speaker 2: iHeartRadio app.

347
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,720
Speaker 5: Well, you know who's feeling PTSD this evening is every

348
00:16:43,840 --> 00:16:46,800
Speaker 5: Laker fan in Los Angeles because the team sucks right now.

349
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 5: They got blowed out three straight games. They lost six

350
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,600
Speaker 5: of their last ten. Hey yeah, and it was so

351
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 5: bad that after the game, JJ Reddick, very mild mannered

352
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:01,000
Speaker 5: JJ Reddick, as you know, went scorched earth entire roster.

353
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:01,760
Speaker 3: Take a listen.

354
00:17:01,960 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 8: Two words of the day we're effort and execution. And

355
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 8: you know, I feel like when we've done both of

356
00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 8: those things at a high level, we've been a good

357
00:17:08,080 --> 00:17:10,160
Speaker 8: basketball team. And we haven't. We're a terrible basketball team.

358
00:17:10,280 --> 00:17:12,080
Speaker 8: And tonight we were a terrible basketball team. And that

359
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 8: started legitimately right away because we don't care enough right now.

360
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:18,120
Speaker 8: And that's that's the part that bothers you a lot.

361
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:20,800
Speaker 8: We don't care enough to like do the things that

362
00:17:20,880 --> 00:17:23,840
Speaker 8: are necessary. We don't care enough to be a professional.

363
00:17:24,119 --> 00:17:25,720
Speaker 3: You know, we had it, We had it.

364
00:17:25,920 --> 00:17:27,680
Speaker 8: This is this is I always say this about you,

365
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 8: know culture. I always say this about a team being

366
00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 8: a you know, a good team being a functioning organism.

367
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,720
Speaker 8: Can it can change like that? We don't have it

368
00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 8: right now. Again, it goes back to what I said

369
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 8: the other night. It's it's a matter of making the choice,

370
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:42,159
Speaker 8: and too often we have guys that don't want to

371
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 8: make that choice. And it's pretty consistent who those guys are.

372
00:17:45,720 --> 00:17:48,240
Speaker 8: And so Saturday practice I told the guys it's going

373
00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,440
Speaker 8: to be uncomfortable. The meeting is going to be uncomfortable.

374
00:17:50,600 --> 00:17:52,280
Speaker 8: I'm not doing another fifty three games like this.

375
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:56,920
Speaker 3: I got a couple of things real quick. Calvin h Yeah.

376
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: First, and Rob G you said you heard the rust

377
00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,440
Speaker 1: of the US conference, right, It was just a quick

378
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:02,639
Speaker 1: little blip.

379
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 3: I'm you know what teas journalism at USC.

380
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 1: I would not allow JJ Reddick to get up there

381
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:12,080
Speaker 1: and paint a broad bush.

382
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:16,159
Speaker 3: Who are you talking about? Jj? Is it Luca?

383
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Is it Lebron? Is it Austin Reeves? You gotta tell

384
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 1: me who you're talking about. Okay, this whole notion about

385
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,479
Speaker 1: they know who they are?

386
00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:30,639
Speaker 3: Who are they? Okay? He's on twice to Rob, You're right,

387
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:32,720
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, man, stop it.

388
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:36,119
Speaker 1: What reporters are sitting there allowing him to not have

389
00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 1: to say, say Lebron's name. I want to hear it

390
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,160
Speaker 1: out of your mouth, say Luca out of your mouth.

391
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,080
Speaker 1: And this guy is another He's a feat, a fraud,

392
00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:48,720
Speaker 1: and a hypocrite. Doc Rivers three two. Three years ago,

393
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 1: he ripped Doc Rivers on ESPN on first take about

394
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:56,400
Speaker 1: not being accountable and always making excuses.

395
00:18:56,480 --> 00:19:00,639
Speaker 3: And here he is. You got three guys in.

396
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:05,040
Speaker 1: A starting lineup, right, who can't play defense, who won't

397
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:09,680
Speaker 1: play defense. But have you made a change, Kelvin, have

398
00:19:09,880 --> 00:19:12,480
Speaker 1: you sat somebody down and said, rob g, what's the

399
00:19:12,560 --> 00:19:17,560
Speaker 1: stat don't they have? Like those three guys together defensively

400
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: is as bad as it gets in the NBA?

401
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I got what's worse is that they're starting lineup,

402
00:19:23,600 --> 00:19:26,439
Speaker 5: so you include those three guys. I got Luca, Lebron,

403
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 5: Austin Reeves, Ruyachimurra DeAndre in seventy six minutes entering Christmas.

404
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:34,840
Speaker 5: We only got worse on Christmas, right, the Lakers starting

405
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,080
Speaker 5: lineup and outscored by fifteen points, allowing one hundred and

406
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:41,960
Speaker 5: twenty point seven points for under possessions that would rank

407
00:19:42,040 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 5: worse than every NBA defense except the Jazz and the

408
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 5: Wizards who are.

409
00:19:46,400 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 3: Trying to lose and kell the Net's My point is,

410
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:54,000
Speaker 3: you have this data. Okay, you know what this is.

411
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: If you're really trying to coach and make a difference, Lebron,

412
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: sit down, Austin Reeves like that together.

413
00:20:01,960 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 3: You guys can't play together.

414
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,160
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to break this up and put somebody

415
00:20:06,280 --> 00:20:10,160
Speaker 1: in there defensively who maybe not the offensive weapon, right,

416
00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: but we need somebody to make some stops.

417
00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 3: You can't keep doing this. We know what Lebron is.

418
00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,680
Speaker 1: Did you watch the play yesterday where he stopped his

419
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:23,000
Speaker 1: foot and yelled at the referee and didn't run.

420
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 3: Back like time out?

421
00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,240
Speaker 1: JJ I dare you to call time out and pull

422
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:29,359
Speaker 1: Lebron out of the game.

423
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:30,520
Speaker 4: I dare you?

424
00:20:31,160 --> 00:20:35,119
Speaker 3: What doesn't happen? Luca? Oh look how great he is.

425
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:40,760
Speaker 1: The people who think that Luca is in the MVP conversation, dude,

426
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:44,880
Speaker 1: one dimensional and all. He doesn't even try to play defense.

427
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:50,160
Speaker 1: He ain't no damn MVP. I'm sorry what ever's saying.

428
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: Austin Reeves is in the All Star consideration. But we

429
00:20:52,880 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 1: got some breaking news right now, Rob g.

430
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,639
Speaker 5: Yeah, just in the last fifteen minutes or so, it

431
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:02,440
Speaker 5: was really revealed that Austin Reeves has a grade two

432
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:06,919
Speaker 5: left casting will be a real re evaluating approximately four weeks,

433
00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:09,879
Speaker 5: so you won't see that starting lineup anymore, Rob, So.

434
00:21:09,960 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 3: You aren't gonna see that. But but Rob sold a

435
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:13,199
Speaker 3: couple of things. I'm gonna jump in here.

436
00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,119
Speaker 4: You mentioned a couple of things I want to touch on,

437
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:17,840
Speaker 4: Rob g out of the stats that I was gonna

438
00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:22,320
Speaker 4: bring here. If you're JJ Reddick, I'm seeing you us

439
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,159
Speaker 4: through out the same lineup seven times already this season.

440
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 3: That ain't doing nothing. That's on you.

441
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:30,680
Speaker 4: You know that the definition of insanity is doing the

442
00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:33,800
Speaker 4: same thing over and over thinking a different outcome. That's

443
00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:36,600
Speaker 4: you running out this same lineup. That is you running

444
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:38,639
Speaker 4: out of lineup. That's a given. You got a forty

445
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,200
Speaker 4: one year old who we know can't play defense, and

446
00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,680
Speaker 4: it's almost impossible for you even ask him to play

447
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:45,200
Speaker 4: defense at the Raking, which you needed.

448
00:21:45,359 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 3: We have a Luka Donciz who has never been known

449
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 3: to play defense.

450
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:50,520
Speaker 4: And now you have those who play together and in

451
00:21:50,600 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 4: Austin Reeves, and what do we like to bring up

452
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:54,640
Speaker 4: all the time, Austin Reeves is the guy the other

453
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:55,479
Speaker 4: teams pick at.

454
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:57,880
Speaker 3: That's the guy they go at. So you've got three

455
00:21:57,960 --> 00:21:59,919
Speaker 3: of them in the same lineup at the same time.

456
00:22:00,400 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 4: And DeAndre Ayton, who is not an overwhelmingly a dynamic

457
00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,560
Speaker 4: big man who blocks shots, changing shots and is an

458
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:09,200
Speaker 4: enforcer that ain't his thing.

459
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 3: And then Ruey is the middle of the way defender,

460
00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:14,119
Speaker 3: not bad, not great. So that's your starting lineup.

461
00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:16,920
Speaker 4: You've got a few guys on the bench who compete,

462
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,280
Speaker 4: who put effort. Marcus Smart, we know that that's literally

463
00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 4: where he's made his fame name and acclaim he claim

464
00:22:23,680 --> 00:22:26,200
Speaker 4: to fame. And also you got Vanderbilt, that's what he

465
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 4: does as well. So some of the guys who played

466
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:30,760
Speaker 4: great defense. You got also gave Vinchin, who's an effort

467
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:32,560
Speaker 4: guy and not say he's a great defender. You have

468
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,040
Speaker 4: all them on the bench, and that's to me the issue.

469
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 4: Mix it up, bring someone off the bench. Maybe you

470
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,159
Speaker 4: have to have a grown up conversation with Lebron. It

471
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 4: might be better if you come up the bench. Also,

472
00:22:42,920 --> 00:22:46,080
Speaker 4: Lebron has some of the worst defensive ratings in this season,

473
00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 4: and we know that. So JJ acting as if he's

474
00:22:48,840 --> 00:22:51,400
Speaker 4: baffled by this. What another name he needs to throw

475
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 4: out there if he's gonna start throwing our names is

476
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:57,040
Speaker 4: Rob Polinker, Rob Linker. We see what's working in the NBA.

477
00:22:57,400 --> 00:23:00,159
Speaker 4: It's a bunch of young, energetic guys, don't care. They

478
00:23:00,200 --> 00:23:02,879
Speaker 4: play ten minutes to twenty minutes. Is like line shifts

479
00:23:02,920 --> 00:23:05,119
Speaker 4: in hockey. I can throw in four to five guys.

480
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,879
Speaker 4: They're gonna come at max effort. That's what's working in

481
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,359
Speaker 4: the NBA.

482
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 3: And we don't have that. Rop Polinka. You see what

483
00:23:11,160 --> 00:23:13,160
Speaker 3: trends are happening. You did not adjust.

484
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:15,200
Speaker 4: So if he really also wants to throw some names

485
00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,840
Speaker 4: out there, you ask for Lebron, you ask for Luca

486
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 4: to be called out. Austin Reeves, call out Ropolnka as well,

487
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:23,680
Speaker 4: JJ Reddick because that line, that team as constructed, ain't

488
00:23:23,720 --> 00:23:26,399
Speaker 4: gonna compete with the top notch teams in the NBA

489
00:23:26,600 --> 00:23:26,959
Speaker 4: at all.

490
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:29,520
Speaker 3: There's no doubt about it.

491
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:33,400
Speaker 4: And uh, they're letting teams score a rap one twenty five,

492
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:36,200
Speaker 4: one thirty five regularly, not like every once in a while.

493
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:38,879
Speaker 4: Regularly teams are putting a one to twenty one to

494
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:39,600
Speaker 4: thirty on them.

495
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 3: No doubt, all right, Uh, just a bad it's it's bad,

496
00:23:43,240 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 3: but JJ just kills me. I just this is the

497
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,359
Speaker 3: guy who's gonna know it all. He invented basketball.

498
00:23:48,480 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: And as you said, keep putting out all the same

499
00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:56,359
Speaker 1: exact lineup and and take accountability. A guy, you know,

500
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: say accountability. He's the one to whip Doc and he wouldn't.

501
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: I'll dock his always excuses. His excuse is he's gonna

502
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: blame just the players do a better job, make some

503
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: lineup changes, put some defenders in.

504
00:24:13,400 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 3: You can't just keep playing the same people and then

505
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 3: you're acting.

506
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:20,080
Speaker 1: You really expect Lebron James all of a sudden play

507
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:21,960
Speaker 1: defense at forty one years old.

508
00:24:22,320 --> 00:24:25,600
Speaker 3: Come on, man, scheme something up, Scheme something up.

509
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 4: If you know, Rob, if I know I don't have

510
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,560
Speaker 4: ball on man defenders, then I'm gonna have to We're

511
00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 4: gonna have to have We've seen the Dallas Mavericks.

512
00:24:32,720 --> 00:24:34,120
Speaker 3: You gotta do something right.

513
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,760
Speaker 4: Exactly when they had Dirk and some other guys, they

514
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 4: were like, we know we don't have the best. They

515
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 4: would run some zone out at there at times two

516
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 4: three zone three two zones, mix it up, some run

517
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:46,200
Speaker 4: different plays like schematically switch it up, because if that's

518
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 4: what you got, that's what you got
