1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,800
Speaker 1: You don't listen no Fox Sports Radio Radio.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: Oh you thought clowns were only in the circus. Oh,

3
00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: stay with us, We got some stuff for you right now. Hey,

4
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:13,440
Speaker 2: good morning everybody. This is Fox Football Sunday on Fox

5
00:00:13,440 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 2: Sports Radio. I'm Andy Furman and he's Bucky Brooks, and

6
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:19,880
Speaker 2: together we're broadcasting live from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

7
00:00:19,880 --> 00:00:22,000
Speaker 2: And away we go. And I want to introduce my

8
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:25,239
Speaker 2: partner and friend, the man of the the Renaissance Man,

9
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,800
Speaker 2: if you will, Bucky Brooks. Hello, Buck, how are you?

10
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:30,320
Speaker 3: I'm good Andy? What's going on? How you doing?

11
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:34,360
Speaker 2: I'm doing wonderful. And I tell you sometimes I see things,

12
00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: I hear things, and I can't wait to explode here

13
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:41,000
Speaker 2: on the little stage that we have every Sunday morning.

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,960
Speaker 2: And I read a piece the other day and I

15
00:00:44,040 --> 00:00:46,880
Speaker 2: call this gentleman a clown and the author of the piece,

16
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,480
Speaker 2: and I will not mention his name, because I'm sure

17
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,800
Speaker 2: that's why he wrote it. The piece was entitled It's

18
00:00:52,880 --> 00:00:56,960
Speaker 2: time for Deon Sanders and Colorado to mutually part ways?

19
00:00:57,120 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 2: All right? I read it. I chuckled, and then I

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:05,280
Speaker 2: got really aggravated because people behind the computer have this

21
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 2: sort of power, or I guess this ego thinking like

22
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:11,760
Speaker 2: they could control things, and they can. I said to myself,

23
00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 2: why would he write this again? I'm not mentioning the

24
00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,399
Speaker 2: publication or his name, but that's what he wants. I

25
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 2: guess they'd write it for clicks, for exposure, or really

26
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 2: and truly to prove to the world that you're a

27
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:24,280
Speaker 2: fool and you're a clown. I don't know if you'd

28
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 2: seen it or not. I know Colorado won yesterday beat

29
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 2: Wyoming thirty seven to twenty, and they're two and one,

30
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:31,120
Speaker 2: and here's what he writes. I'm going to share it

31
00:01:31,120 --> 00:01:33,360
Speaker 2: with you because I know you're good friends with Deon Sanders,

32
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 2: and I love Deon. And I'm not saying this because

33
00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 2: of my relationship with him when he played for the

34
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:40,039
Speaker 2: Cincinnati Reds. I'm just saying that it's not fair what

35
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:42,480
Speaker 2: this guy wrote. He says, before we go any further,

36
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:44,959
Speaker 2: there's an important question that needs to be asked to

37
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: gauge whether things go and where they go next. In Boulder, Colorado.

38
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 2: What war and are the expectations for Deon Sanders as

39
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 2: coach at the University of Colorado. Was it Deon experiments

40
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 2: supposed to drum up publicity and get eyes on the

41
00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,200
Speaker 2: program because if so, mission accomplass will. I agree. People

42
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: are talking about the Colorado football team more in the

43
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:05,360
Speaker 2: past three years than they have probably since the early

44
00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:08,600
Speaker 2: nineties when quarterback Cordell Stewart was sitting Directed is okay,

45
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:11,560
Speaker 2: but now he says that the recruiting is not good.

46
00:02:12,040 --> 00:02:14,639
Speaker 2: The recruiting classes have had twelve and fifteen in rollees.

47
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,280
Speaker 2: These are paltry numbers when compared to other programs like Georgia,

48
00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:20,800
Speaker 2: Ohio State, and this means that Sanders has to rely

49
00:02:20,919 --> 00:02:24,400
Speaker 2: increasingly on the transfer portal while praying his small signing

50
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:27,320
Speaker 2: classes have a high success rate. This guy is a fool.

51
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:31,360
Speaker 2: What Dion Sanders has done for Colorado, the governor of

52
00:02:31,400 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 2: the state should give him a gold medal. People are

53
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,120
Speaker 2: talking about it. That got exposure. The games are being

54
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 2: sold out, they're selling merch. I don't know why someone

55
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: would do this and pick on him, except it's an

56
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 2: ego thing because he's a high powered individual that gets

57
00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: in the spotlight. And when you could attack someone in

58
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 2: the spotlight, you yourself will get in the spotlight. But not

59
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 2: here and not out of my mouth. That's all I

60
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:56,600
Speaker 2: have to say. Do you agree with this or on

61
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: my way off base.

62
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 3: I means is off. One the reason this off putting

63
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 3: is you're coming off a nine win season. Why would

64
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:09,880
Speaker 3: you fire someone coming off a nine win season When

65
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 3: we're three games into the year. Colorado's one and eleven.

66
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,639
Speaker 3: When Dean Sanders took over the program, They've now become

67
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 3: relevant in the national scene, not necessarily because they are

68
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:26,400
Speaker 3: football power, but they're notable, right, there's a following. They

69
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,160
Speaker 3: get attention even when you put them on late because

70
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 3: they were in a late game last night when Wyoming

71
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 3: you still had eyeballs on it. So internally, why would

72
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 3: Colorado ever get rid of the attention? Because it has

73
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 3: been shown the better your football team, or the more

74
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 3: recognizable your team, the more students apply for admission to

75
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 3: the university. All the numbers that it comes that comes

76
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 3: from driving up revenue and all that those are great.

77
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:57,440
Speaker 3: The on field product. Look, while they're not a playoff

78
00:03:57,440 --> 00:04:01,400
Speaker 3: team this year, they're certainly competitive, they're not embarrassing. They

79
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,720
Speaker 3: don't have any egregious or embarrassing losses, and then they

80
00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,760
Speaker 3: won last night. So the column is off putting. It

81
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:12,480
Speaker 3: is a quick way to generate clickbait because whenever you

82
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:16,040
Speaker 3: put coach Prime's name in the headlines, you're gonna click

83
00:04:16,120 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 3: in and at least read whatever opinion is out there on.

84
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:23,080
Speaker 2: Them, Thank you very much. I didn't want to go

85
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 2: off the deep end on that, and that's why I

86
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: run it by you. And I know I did know

87
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:31,719
Speaker 2: to a sense that I was right because this guy, again,

88
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:33,640
Speaker 2: his name will not come out of my mouth, but

89
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 2: he's a clown. There's no doubt my mind is a clown,

90
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 2: and obviously he wants a little exposure at the expense

91
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:41,479
Speaker 2: of Deon Sanders. You know, really and truly, I don't

92
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 2: really enjoy people behind microphones saying that someone should be fired. Really,

93
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 2: it's a disgusting thing. You know. If coaches are gonna

94
00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: get fired, they're gonna get fired anyway, not because someone

95
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,960
Speaker 2: behind the microphone says get fired. Really, it doesn't work

96
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:57,360
Speaker 2: that way. I mean, they're yelling up there in Madison,

97
00:04:57,400 --> 00:05:01,280
Speaker 2: Wisconsin to fire Fickle now, the football co at University Wisconsin. Now.

98
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: The chance is not gonna do anything. His record will

99
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: prove that he won't be there longer. But if you

100
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 2: want to fire somebody, if someone's on the hot seat,

101
00:05:09,600 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 2: big times. It's going to be the coach at Oklahoma State.

102
00:05:13,279 --> 00:05:15,600
Speaker 2: Mike Gundy's gonna be gone. He came back this year,

103
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 2: as you know, he took a pay cut to come back.

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 2: They lost to Tulsa. They lost a Tulsa Friday Night

105
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:24,400
Speaker 2: nineteen twelve for the first time in Stillwater in twenty

106
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:29,440
Speaker 2: seven years. Not good. Losing to Tulsa, Oklahoma University of Tulsa,

107
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,560
Speaker 2: losing to Oklahoma State. That's not a good look for

108
00:05:32,640 --> 00:05:34,600
Speaker 2: Mike Gundy. I would say that he has one foot

109
00:05:34,600 --> 00:05:35,760
Speaker 2: in the grave right now.

110
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,320
Speaker 3: Probably so. And I can't say that I necessarily feel

111
00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:44,240
Speaker 3: bad about it. Like he's been wild in out of

112
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 3: pocket for a minute when it comes to just some

113
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 3: of his comments, some of his commentary just in general.

114
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 3: And then if you're gonna be wild and outlandish like that,

115
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,600
Speaker 3: then what happens when the worm turns and the on

116
00:05:55,720 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: field performance is not acceptable within your less likely you

117
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 3: want to continue with someone who was polarizing and made

118
00:06:02,640 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 3: no mistake. He's polarized and because the team, the program

119
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,400
Speaker 3: has grown stale, I can see them moving on. They

120
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,760
Speaker 3: already did the major pay cut. So you know, if

121
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:13,960
Speaker 3: we got your paid one year, the next thing that

122
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:17,320
Speaker 3: happened is they gonna remove you from the job the

123
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 3: next year. And that's probably where we're at right now

124
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 3: at Oklahoma.

125
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:21,840
Speaker 2: State, right and the only reason he's been there for

126
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 2: such a long time. He's like a favorite son. He

127
00:06:23,800 --> 00:06:26,240
Speaker 2: played there, He went there with the whole deal, and

128
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:28,480
Speaker 2: I think he was friends with that guy Pickings who

129
00:06:28,560 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 2: donated so much money to that program.

130
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:32,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, t Bone, Yeah.

131
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 2: T Bone. So I think that Mike Gundy could be

132
00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 2: on his way out. And I remember he had a

133
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:37,480
Speaker 2: big incidance several years ago when he grew his hair

134
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,360
Speaker 2: down to his shoulder. I mean, look, I lived in

135
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:43,560
Speaker 2: Oklahoma when he was still coaching over there. Everything he

136
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 2: did was kind of like off the beaten tracks or

137
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:48,880
Speaker 2: to speak. You know, he did his own way and

138
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: sometimes it didn't work. But you know he's not alone

139
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,400
Speaker 2: because I think Arkansas they're in trouble right now. Sam

140
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: Bitten and Dabbos Sweeney Clemson one in three. When did

141
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,520
Speaker 2: that ever happen? What happened to clem So? I mean,

142
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:04,240
Speaker 2: I remember Dabo Sweety was big by saying I'm not

143
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 2: going into the portal. I'm not even well, you know what,

144
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,960
Speaker 2: you better get into the portal because your name may

145
00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:11,280
Speaker 2: be in there as a coach pretty soon, you better

146
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:12,080
Speaker 2: get in the portal.

147
00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't so I think it's funny, right because

148
00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 3: I feel like there's a little palalan on with Dabbo,

149
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:22,840
Speaker 3: just because he has been very, very loud about his

150
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:26,000
Speaker 3: old school values and what he believes in. And I

151
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 3: think we're at this thing where everyone believes in this

152
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,480
Speaker 3: transient nature that should exist in college football, that you

153
00:07:33,480 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 3: should just go and pluck a bunch of different people

154
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,720
Speaker 3: every year and turn out a new team. I'm actually

155
00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 3: with Dabbo in terms of the best way to build

156
00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 3: a long sustainable program is to do it the way

157
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 3: that he's talking about doing, which is I would say, recruit, develop, retain,

158
00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 3: and eventually let that that team grow into being a power.

159
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:57,320
Speaker 3: And when you look at his numbers, how can you

160
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:02,160
Speaker 3: dispute the success that he had. Sure in the new

161
00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:06,160
Speaker 3: era the last three four years, they haven't been like

162
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:07,480
Speaker 3: at the top of the top, but they were a

163
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 3: playoff team last year. They're always in the conversation. It's

164
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,920
Speaker 3: just that we grow tired of him standing at the

165
00:08:14,960 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 3: podium and lecturing us on the state of affairs and

166
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:21,560
Speaker 3: all of these things, and so I understand why he's

167
00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 3: getting a blowback, but it's unwarranted. He's the most successful

168
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 3: coach that Clemson has ever had. The one thing that

169
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 3: I would tell Dabbo is don't give them a reason

170
00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 3: to come back at you. So when you have a

171
00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 3: long dissertation early in the week about you know, I've

172
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,360
Speaker 3: been here. If they're tired of winning, I can go somewhere,

173
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 3: Elson win or whatever. Well, now you open yourself up

174
00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 3: when you have another loss on Saturday. So now you've

175
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:46,800
Speaker 3: got to stand back in front of the podium at

176
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 3: those people that you gave the lecture to and hear

177
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,880
Speaker 3: those questions all over again. What he needs to do

178
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,080
Speaker 3: is find a way to rebuild the confidence that is

179
00:08:55,160 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 3: lacking in the locker room right now and get back

180
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 3: on track and leave all the fodder, all the conversation man,

181
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 3: leave there for another time. Focus on the main thing.

182
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 3: He's distracted by trying to be the professor as opposed

183
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:09,400
Speaker 3: to trying to be the productive coach.

184
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 2: I remember several years ago there was a tremendous feature

185
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,920
Speaker 2: on him and Clemson in Sports Illustrated, and part of

186
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 2: that story sort of pushed me the wrong way about it.

187
00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,600
Speaker 2: I've never met the guy, don't know him at all.

188
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: And it said that on Sundays he takes the team.

189
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I think he makes them go to church

190
00:09:29,720 --> 00:09:32,120
Speaker 2: on Sunday. I think in this and age, I don't

191
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,840
Speaker 2: think you could do that. I just don't think. You know,

192
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:35,400
Speaker 2: people are free to do what they want to do,

193
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,720
Speaker 2: if they want to go, if they don't want to go.

194
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:39,680
Speaker 2: And when I read that, I mean the way he

195
00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 2: was written is like he felt so good about himself

196
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,760
Speaker 2: that he's taking his team to church on Sunday and

197
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,920
Speaker 2: they have to go. And I don't think a lot

198
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,360
Speaker 2: of those athletes or anybody in particular, wants to go

199
00:09:49,400 --> 00:09:51,160
Speaker 2: to church. I don't have to go if they don't

200
00:09:51,160 --> 00:09:52,719
Speaker 2: want to, right, No.

201
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:55,320
Speaker 3: But I'm gonna clear this up for you. Because you're

202
00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: up in Ohio, you're in the Midwest. What I can

203
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:00,679
Speaker 3: tell you have n't been a son of the South,

204
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,880
Speaker 3: having lived most of my life in the Bible Belt.

205
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 3: That is appealing to a lot of the moms of

206
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 3: the recruits that send their kids to Clemson. Because Clemson

207
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,360
Speaker 3: is in South Carolina, I mean, in the heart of

208
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:16,680
Speaker 3: the Bible Belt. There is an appeal to those old

209
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:19,680
Speaker 3: school values a I'm gonna show you're a young boy

210
00:10:19,720 --> 00:10:22,120
Speaker 3: how to become a man under my watch. And part

211
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: of that is I'm going to expose them to a

212
00:10:23,840 --> 00:10:26,559
Speaker 3: bunch of different things, not that they have to do,

213
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 3: but I'm exposed them to church and the routine and

214
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,640
Speaker 3: maybe a way of life that could help them become successful. Now,

215
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:37,040
Speaker 3: they don't have to stick with that. They have the

216
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,559
Speaker 3: freedom to not go to that. But I think when

217
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:41,360
Speaker 3: he said that, he's talking about, Hey, we're gonna go

218
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 3: to church on Sundays. I'm gonna take him here. They're

219
00:10:43,440 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 3: gonna go, They'll have an opportunity to have a total

220
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:51,120
Speaker 3: experience that shapes them into being very successful men when

221
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 3: they leave the program. And because he is quote unquote

222
00:10:54,960 --> 00:10:57,440
Speaker 3: regarded as a Bible thumper, there are some people that

223
00:10:57,480 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 3: take issue with that. He is unapologetic about bringing his

224
00:11:02,040 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 3: faith into the discussions at the press conference, and everyone

225
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 3: can make a decision on whether they like that or not.

226
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 3: To me, I understand it because I also understand where

227
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,440
Speaker 3: he is and I do know the appeal that that

228
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,600
Speaker 3: has on a lot of people that grew up in

229
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 3: those areas, those regions South Carolina, Georgia and North Carolina

230
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:22,800
Speaker 3: where they get a lot of their players, a lot

231
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,560
Speaker 3: of their players are more in line with how Dabbo

232
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 3: thinks then how the rest of the country may view

233
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 3: that incident or what you're talking about him going to church,

234
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: et cetera, et cetera.

235
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 2: I'm glad you clear that I'm not opposed to going

236
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:36,360
Speaker 2: to church, but I think the way the story was

237
00:11:36,360 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 2: written is like like, hey, here's the bus, guys, you

238
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 2: better be here at nine o'clock. We're going to ten

239
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: o'clock Mass. It just that kind of I'm saying, what

240
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: really I mean if you're.

241
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:48,679
Speaker 3: You know, right, yeah, but you got to know, like

242
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:52,520
Speaker 3: when when when teams, when players go to University of

243
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:56,600
Speaker 3: notre Day, they go to Mass, whether you're Catholic or not,

244
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 3: Like you participate in the thing. Now you have the

245
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,359
Speaker 3: freedom because they talk about that Mass being non denominational

246
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,080
Speaker 3: or whatever, but you have an opportunity to go to

247
00:12:06,160 --> 00:12:09,200
Speaker 3: a place of worship and whatever your faith is, Like

248
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 3: it's not taken away from that, but they operate under

249
00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,640
Speaker 3: premise that what we do is we go to Mass

250
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,880
Speaker 3: and all of those things. So everybody has their own

251
00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:19,880
Speaker 3: I think what you have to have as a young

252
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: person one clarity, is it mandatory voluntary? Are these things

253
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,439
Speaker 3: being pushed on me? Or do I have freedom of

254
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 3: choice when it comes to what I believe in, what

255
00:12:30,280 --> 00:12:34,199
Speaker 3: my faith, if I choose to adopt a religious doctrine,

256
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,240
Speaker 3: all those things. And so I understand what you're saying.

257
00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 3: I do understand your concern, because no one wants necessarily

258
00:12:41,080 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 3: that pushed down their throat. But I would say, for Dabbo,

259
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 3: it is geographic is part of I would say what

260
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 3: that region believes in and how they buy into it.

261
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:53,120
Speaker 3: And I think he knows it's a selling point for

262
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 3: a bunch of recruits in their families.

263
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,240
Speaker 2: Well, I'm glad to clear it up, but I certainly

264
00:12:57,280 --> 00:13:00,120
Speaker 2: think there's a major difference between a coach saying his

265
00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,240
Speaker 2: team has to go to chapel services or church, or

266
00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:06,719
Speaker 2: the school's philosophy is that everybody in the school has

267
00:13:06,760 --> 00:13:08,440
Speaker 2: to go to chapel services. Now, I worked at ol

268
00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:11,600
Speaker 2: Of Roberts University for two years and when I was

269
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,079
Speaker 2: hired that no one told me about chapel services. There

270
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 2: was no big whoop. But President Roberts may he Rest

271
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 2: in Peace called me in his office, knowing that I

272
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 2: was Jewish, saying that if you don't feel well going

273
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:24,720
Speaker 2: to Chapel Services, you don't have to go. I went,

274
00:13:25,040 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 2: the basketball team went, I went. It was no big deal.

275
00:13:27,559 --> 00:13:30,360
Speaker 2: Every Wednesday and every Friday between eleven and twelve, the

276
00:13:30,559 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 2: entire school shut down and everybody went to Chapel Services.

277
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:35,400
Speaker 2: And I went there because I wanted to see it,

278
00:13:35,520 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 2: I really did. And they had some interesting speakers and

279
00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 2: I never saw, you know, people speaking in tongues before

280
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 2: I learned. You know, you have to learn, you know,

281
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 2: you know when in Rome, do what the Romans do.

282
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:46,240
Speaker 2: And I wanted to go, and I did go. But

283
00:13:46,920 --> 00:13:49,040
Speaker 2: that's the thing that the coaches didn't make you do it.

284
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 2: It was part of the school's philosophy. So you go,

285
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: and that's what that's what I did, and I went

286
00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:54,280
Speaker 2: there for two years.

287
00:13:54,640 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think I think most schools situations operate

288
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 3: like it was that you talk about chance. The Roberts

289
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:06,160
Speaker 3: gave you the choice and the freedom to go or

290
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,840
Speaker 3: not go, and you made the decision to go. Most

291
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:11,520
Speaker 3: of those environments are like that. It is rare that

292
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:15,040
Speaker 3: I've encountered, been around, or heard of things that are

293
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:17,800
Speaker 3: mandatory when it comes to that. I think We're at

294
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:20,920
Speaker 3: a time where everyone has evolved in terms of respecting

295
00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,160
Speaker 3: people's freedoms. But I think it's the opportunity to be

296
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:25,880
Speaker 3: exposed to it, and then you have to make the

297
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:27,680
Speaker 3: decision where you want to be exposed to it or not.

298
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,000
Speaker 2: Right, I agree with you there speaking of the Carolina So,

299
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: I was very upset yesterday because our good friend Bill

300
00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:36,600
Speaker 2: Belichick and your school, the tar Heels. You look, you

301
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 2: lose to TCU and the opener. You know, they started

302
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: out like a house on fire that game. They lost

303
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:47,560
Speaker 2: the game. I'll give them that. Okay, first game TCU

304
00:14:47,600 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 2: with old Okay, you lose to UCF and you look

305
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: thirty four to nine, and I think North Carolina mantage

306
00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: is only two hundred and ten hundred and fifteen total

307
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 2: yards and it was like two and a half yards

308
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 2: per carry. I mean really, I mean this team, you

309
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 2: seev was picked in preseason to be last in the

310
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: Big twelve preseason poll. Not a good look. Not a

311
00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:09,960
Speaker 2: good look for your tar Heels.

312
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:13,040
Speaker 3: No, not a good look, and even worse when you

313
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 3: really watched it, turned the ball over too much, never

314
00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 3: really settled into a rhythm, didn't play well. That falls

315
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:23,480
Speaker 3: on everybody, players, coaches, everything, and so this would be

316
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:28,680
Speaker 3: this disappointment. And certainly when I go to my group

317
00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 3: chat with some of our former teammates and those guys,

318
00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:36,240
Speaker 3: guys are upset and disappointed. But I think it's man,

319
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 3: I think the people around Carolina have to understand that

320
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:44,480
Speaker 3: it wasn't gonna be an instant or dramatic turnaround right away.

321
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,800
Speaker 3: No matter how quickly you want to think that you

322
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 3: can pour water on these situations, it flips. That's the anomaly.

323
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,400
Speaker 3: That's why it's really remarkable that Indiana has been able

324
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,680
Speaker 3: to do what they've done under Signetti because he took

325
00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: over a program, transformed it, and they been able to

326
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,120
Speaker 3: have success, big success right away. Some of that schedule driven,

327
00:16:04,480 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 3: but they've had a lot of success. They knocked off

328
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 3: Illinois dominant performance, Carolina has not yet.

329
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, how does that have sixty three to ten.

330
00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 3: Dominant dominant performance? Like he's a really good coach. He's

331
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 3: kind of putting it in there. They're believing in what

332
00:16:18,320 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 3: they're doing, and the production and performance speaks for itself.

333
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,720
Speaker 3: For Carolina, it's been a slow cook, but I'm still

334
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:28,960
Speaker 3: optimistic after four games. Hey, man, it takes time. Let's

335
00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 3: see what this looks like at the end of the year.

336
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 3: Do they improve at the end of the year. But yeah,

337
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 3: certainly not a great performance. Uh the second time did

338
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,360
Speaker 3: they played I wouldn't even say a marquee opponent, but

339
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,120
Speaker 3: a name brand opponent. They haven't shown up a shown.

340
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 2: Now, let me go back to that Indiana game, because

341
00:16:43,320 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 2: they rolled over Illinois as say, sixty three to ten,

342
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 2: all right, and they got this quarterback, Fernando Mendoz And

343
00:16:48,640 --> 00:16:50,440
Speaker 2: I'm saying to myself, you're saying that he's a great

344
00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 2: coach and he could very well be a great coach.

345
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,880
Speaker 2: And he came in there with that culture saying that

346
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 2: where here to win and they're gonna win that one

347
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 2: last year and everybody kind of mocked them a little

348
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 2: bit their schedule this week. But you roll over Illinois,

349
00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 2: that's a pretty big win. But I'm not so certain

350
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:04,800
Speaker 2: in this day and age, you have to be a

351
00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:08,600
Speaker 2: great coach and obviously you always have the great great personnel.

352
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,680
Speaker 2: Recruiting is not the answer. The check book is the answer.

353
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 2: Because got this quarterback, Fernando Mendoza. He transferred from California,

354
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:18,320
Speaker 2: so they must have some heavy duty alums that are

355
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 2: paying this guy, a man Thozah big bucks to leave

356
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:23,600
Speaker 2: California to come to Bloomington, Indiana.

357
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:27,200
Speaker 3: I mean, that's a way of the world. I mean,

358
00:17:27,200 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 3: that's just that's just what happens. I mean, if you're

359
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 3: gonna be successful, you have to have a quarterback, and

360
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:32,960
Speaker 3: you have to find a way to get a quarterback.

361
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:35,160
Speaker 3: And they found a way to get a quarterback. And

362
00:17:35,320 --> 00:17:37,399
Speaker 3: Mendoza when you looked at him at at Ko, he

363
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 3: was solid, but not anything that you know what I'm saying,

364
00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 3: you would quote unquote write home about. But he's improved.

365
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:48,119
Speaker 3: He's improved in that offense, in that system. Whatever, sweet nothing, nothing.

366
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:51,040
Speaker 3: Signette's been whispering in his ear. He certainly played at

367
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,240
Speaker 3: a high level and it showed up. I mean, it

368
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:57,119
Speaker 3: was a very dominant performance against Illinois. And now it

369
00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,840
Speaker 3: continues to change the perception on Indiana football what it is,

370
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,439
Speaker 3: but more importantly, what it could be, what it can be.

371
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:07,399
Speaker 3: Now we got to kind of keep them in mind

372
00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: when we talk about the powers in the Big Ten.

373
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:15,399
Speaker 3: The Penn stays to Ohio States, to Michigan's to Oregon. Subtly, quietly,

374
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 3: Indiana's creeping into that conversation as one of those teams

375
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 3: that we always got to talk about.

376
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. He's Bucky Brooks. I'm Andy Furman.

377

00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:19,240
Speaker 2: Bucky in about twelve minutes. And I'll tell you what.

436
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,639
Speaker 2: I want to go back for a second buck to

437
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:24,800
Speaker 2: Thursday night, that Buffalo game hosting the Miami Dolphins, and

438
00:21:25,119 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 2: you know everybody's laughing, is to be a runaway two

439
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 2: touchdown favorite, whatever it may be. Really and truly two plays,

440
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,840
Speaker 2: who's thirty one twenty one Bills win? And since twenty

441
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,400
Speaker 2: nineteen the Dolphins are eight and thirteen I believe against

442
00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:41,080
Speaker 2: against this team. So it's not a good look and

443
00:21:41,080 --> 00:21:42,800
Speaker 2: it's not a good look for the Dolphins. But really,

444
00:21:42,800 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 2: two plays they're roughing the kicker against the Dolphins, and

445
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:50,040
Speaker 2: of course the interception tour through when what was it,

446
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:54,240
Speaker 2: Terrell Bernard got in front of Jalen Waddel and that

447
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,640
Speaker 2: was that was basically the game right there. I mean,

448
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,960
Speaker 2: so really, when you look at these games, they're so close,

449
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,400
Speaker 2: so they really are. These teams. There's not that much

450
00:22:02,400 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 2: of separation between teams in this league on every single Sunday.

451
00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 2: So I don't know how these gamblers get it done.

452
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 2: They blow my mind, they really do. But these teams

453
00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:14,080
Speaker 2: are really close. One or two players will get it done.

454
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:15,840
Speaker 2: And that's what happened on Thursday night.

455
00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 3: I mean, that's typically what it is. The NFL is

456
00:22:19,480 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 3: a seven point league. Most games are decided about one score,

457
00:22:22,600 --> 00:22:27,000
Speaker 3: So execution in those high leverage moments critical. And when

458
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 3: you get great execution, it gives you a chance to

459
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:32,679
Speaker 3: finish off games. But it's about the mistakes. And so

460
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,000
Speaker 3: the Miami Dolphins play well enough to be competitive against

461
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,199
Speaker 3: a team that's the perennial division champs, they're right there.

462
00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 3: It's the execution under pressure. But that execution under pressure

463
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 3: comes down to your habits. And those habits are formed

464
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:53,320
Speaker 3: based on how you hold your people accountable to anything

465
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,920
Speaker 3: and everything that they're expected to do, from being on

466
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:01,119
Speaker 3: time punctuality to dress code, how you dress, can you

467
00:23:01,160 --> 00:23:02,760
Speaker 3: do all the things that we're asking you to do,

468
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: to the way that you go about your meetings, your practice,

469
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:09,000
Speaker 3: all of those things. Those habits carry over, and those

470
00:23:09,040 --> 00:23:11,880
Speaker 3: habits show up in those high pressure moments, and that's

471
00:23:11,920 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 3: why you have to create and establish and maintain great habits,

472
00:23:15,720 --> 00:23:17,840
Speaker 3: championship habits. As we caused him to be able to

473
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 3: play at a championship.

474
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,240
Speaker 2: Low and I felt pretty good that my guy Olli

475
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:23,520
Speaker 2: Gordon looked pretty good for the Dolphins Thursday night.

476
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 3: Man, he has a chance to be a good player,

477
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 3: Somny preseason one. Physically he looks like a pro running back.

478
00:23:30,800 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 3: He has physical traits that were leads to believe that

479
00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:37,879
Speaker 3: he could have success. His vision, his balance, his body control,

480
00:23:37,960 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 3: and his power. Look not his last season at Oklahoma State,

481
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:45,080
Speaker 3: but the season before that, he was terrific. And that's

482
00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 3: the version that we thought was gonna be a first

483
00:23:46,680 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 3: round pick. Didn't happen. But he still can be that

484
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 3: guy and you see it in flashes.

485
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:52,920
Speaker 2: No doubt about that. And now let's move to today

486
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,840
Speaker 2: for a second. You got the Bears that are owing

487
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:57,360
Speaker 2: to a little shocked about that they host the Cowboys

488
00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 2: Cowboys in one on one today and this game, we

489
00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:01,640
Speaker 2: could talk about how the Cowboys wide receiver Ceedee Lamb

490
00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:04,000
Speaker 2: is going to slice up the Bears secondary. Today we'll

491
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,520
Speaker 2: talk about maybe the week Bears offense they start it

492
00:24:06,560 --> 00:24:08,440
Speaker 2: was strong with a fizzle. Well, we could talk about

493
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 2: the Cowboys running back Javonte Williams. But let's hear from

494
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,440
Speaker 2: the Bear's new coach Ben Johnson on how his team

495
00:24:14,520 --> 00:24:15,360
Speaker 2: is playing thus far.

496
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 6: I think our practice habits are yet to reflect the

497
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 6: championship caliber team. What these guys look like when the

498
00:24:21,720 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 6: ball's not in their hands, that's a big deal for us.

499
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:26,959
Speaker 6: And so there were some plays there yesterday that we

500
00:24:26,960 --> 00:24:30,000
Speaker 6: weren't quite as pleased with what that looked like on tape.

501
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 6: And so we're going to find out this week at

502
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:37,040
Speaker 6: practice who wants to practice hard and who wants to

503
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 6: be a little bit more involved with the game plan

504
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 6: here going into Sunday.

505
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:42,840
Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought he'd be a little more upset about

506
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 2: his team's play right now as Ben Johnson. And maybe

507
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:48,280
Speaker 2: he has second thoughts, maybe he never should have left Detroit,

508
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:50,120
Speaker 2: But I guess you want to be a head coach.

509
00:24:50,359 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 2: That's the name of the game, you know, you want

510
00:24:51,720 --> 00:24:53,680
Speaker 2: to be a head coach obviously, right So, and I'm

511
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:57,200
Speaker 2: sure it's a good pay bump for him as well.

512
00:24:57,240 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's a good pay bump. But I'll

513
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:03,919
Speaker 3: say this, everything that he said sounded like what we

514
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 3: had the commentary when I was talking about the Miami Dolphins.

515
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,639
Speaker 3: When you hear him talk about practice, habits, championship habits,

516
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: the way that you go about it, the way that

517
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,280
Speaker 3: you finish what you do away from the ball, and

518
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,960
Speaker 3: see the things that he's talking about away from the ball,

519
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:20,320
Speaker 3: in the National Football League for a long time, wide

520
00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 3: receivers have been able to just get away with not blocking.

521
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,400
Speaker 3: When it's a running play, they'll just take the down off,

522
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 3: They'll walk three steps and go back to the huddel.

523
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 3: That's selfish in a team environment. If I don't get

524
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,000
Speaker 3: the ball, that means someone else has it. I should

525
00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:35,960
Speaker 3: want them to have success like me. So I'm gonna

526
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,359
Speaker 3: go work and bust my tail to get on and

527
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:40,919
Speaker 3: give them the best opportunity to have a big play.

528
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:43,320
Speaker 3: And they're gonna do the same for me. So what

529
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,840
Speaker 3: Ben is saying and alluding to, right now, we still

530
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 3: have too many individuals, too many selfish players not buying

531
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,040
Speaker 3: into what we're saying. We have to operate as a team,

532
00:25:54,080 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: and when we get all eleven to play together, then

533
00:25:56,640 --> 00:25:59,480
Speaker 3: you'll start seeing the performance and the production change. But

534
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,400
Speaker 3: right now, it may be nine guys doing the right thing,

535
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,240
Speaker 3: two guys not doing it. It may be ten and one,

536
00:26:05,359 --> 00:26:08,280
Speaker 3: eight and three. We need all eleven doing the right stuff,

537
00:26:08,320 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 3: and it starts in practice. That's what he's talking about.

538
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 3: We won't play well until we start practicing better.

539
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 2: Well. I mean, I could have said that too, and

540
00:26:14,800 --> 00:26:16,560
Speaker 2: I'm not a head coach, But you know what the heck?

541
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 2: You know, I have no NFL experience with them. Next

542
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:21,600
Speaker 2: game I coach would be my first. But there's a

543
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,920
Speaker 2: bigger story about that game. There's a bigger story about

544
00:26:23,920 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 2: the Bears Cowboys game. Today, the game is on Fox

545
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 2: and the NFL's new twelfth man, Tom Brady's gonna be

546
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:31,000
Speaker 2: doing the color on that game with Fox, and I

547
00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:34,960
Speaker 2: gotta believe there's a conflict of interest. Perhaps, perhaps maybe

548
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:37,919
Speaker 2: it's just a perception because Brady is a part owner

549
00:26:38,200 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 2: of the Raiders, and obviously next week the Bears are

550
00:26:41,280 --> 00:26:45,440
Speaker 2: playing at the Raiders. Brady's that minority Raiders owner, So

551
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:48,479
Speaker 2: could he take information from there? Could he scout them?

552
00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 2: I mean, what is he gonna do? Because there are

553
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,679
Speaker 2: no secrets in the National Football League. Let's listen to

554
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,160
Speaker 2: what Ben Johnson has to say. Is he concerned that

555
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:58,399
Speaker 2: maybe Tom Brady is a super scout as well as

556
00:26:58,400 --> 00:26:59,399
Speaker 2: a color commentator.

557
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: Like I said, I'm really not worried about.

558
00:27:01,520 --> 00:27:03,200
Speaker 6: I mean, we change week the week in terms of

559
00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,480
Speaker 6: what we do schematically, He's going to be able to

560
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,840
Speaker 6: turn on the tape and see what everyone else in

561
00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:09,040
Speaker 6: the world's seeing right now.

562
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:10,880
Speaker 1: Personnel. WI is really the same thing.

563
00:27:11,240 --> 00:27:13,200
Speaker 6: It's not like I'm gonna sit down with them and hey,

564
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 6: don't do this to Caleb Williams or you might get

565
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,840
Speaker 6: it like I'm not going there's not gonna be any

566
00:27:17,840 --> 00:27:20,040
Speaker 6: trade secrets that are going to be exchanged. But I

567
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 6: just I really don't think it's that big of a deal,

568
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 6: to be honest with.

569
00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 2: Well, maybe it's not. And obviously it wasn't that big

570
00:27:25,800 --> 00:27:27,679
Speaker 2: a deal for the National Football LEAGUEAU they gave him

571
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 2: the approval to be a minority owner and still go

572
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 2: to Fox and do the gangs. But obviously there are

573
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 2: no secrets. But the real issue, I guess for Brady

574
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,760
Speaker 2: scouting players also maybe free agents. He's going to get

575
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:41,080
Speaker 2: the jump on free agents that have come out there

576
00:27:41,480 --> 00:27:44,080
Speaker 2: after the season is over, maybe looking for coaches, maybe

577
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,120
Speaker 2: looking for possible coordinators. Not so much for game planning,

578
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 2: but for the bigger picture. I think that when the

579
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,679
Speaker 2: free agency comes along, that's bigger to me than weekly

580
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 2: scouting reports. I think the perception factor that he can

581
00:27:56,840 --> 00:27:59,159
Speaker 2: be scouting for the Raiders is out there, and I

582
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:00,720
Speaker 2: don't know over such that's a good look or not.

583
00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:01,359
Speaker 2: I don't know.

584
00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 3: I think everybody on the outside is making it a

585
00:28:05,000 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 3: bunch bigger deal than what it is. There are no

586
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,720
Speaker 3: secrets in the National Football League. Everything is visible. Everybody

587
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,320
Speaker 3: knows what other people are doing. It comes down to

588
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 3: execution on Sundays. There's this novelty in our industry where

589
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 3: we think, oh man, we can orchestrate the surprise. We're

590
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 3: going to keep this under wraps. We're gonna spring it

591
00:28:23,400 --> 00:28:26,679
Speaker 3: on them. That happens on occasion, but it's rare. It's

592
00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:28,800
Speaker 3: rare that you don't know what people are doing. It's

593
00:28:28,840 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: rare that you don't know the habits of the coordinator.

594
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:35,120
Speaker 3: Everyone knows what calls are coming. It's about your ability

595
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:38,080
Speaker 3: to get your players to execute and do it. But

596
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:40,680
Speaker 3: coaches know, coaches know what other coaches like to do.

597
00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 3: We all have pet calls, we all have these creatures

598
00:28:45,320 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 3: of habit. We all go back to the same things

599
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 3: under pressure. It's about getting our guys to execute. Brady

600
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,520
Speaker 3: the only advantage that he has in terms of talking

601
00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,720
Speaker 3: to people and being around or whatever. It's some of

602
00:28:56,760 --> 00:28:58,120
Speaker 3: what you talk about. He talks to a bunch of

603
00:28:58,160 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 3: different coaches. He has a leg up on Pull in

604
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:02,960
Speaker 3: terms of just meeting people and doing those things. But

605
00:29:03,520 --> 00:29:09,280
Speaker 3: a lot of this is the paranoia that hovers around

606
00:29:09,280 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 3: our industry. Oh my god, we got to hide everything.

607
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's why I gotta cover my lips

608
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,280
Speaker 3: because they can read. They can read my play cause

609
00:29:15,520 --> 00:29:18,400
Speaker 3: even though there's no way in real time I could

610
00:29:18,680 --> 00:29:21,200
Speaker 3: get that down to the players, so they know. All

611
00:29:21,240 --> 00:29:23,480
Speaker 3: of this stuff comes from a place of fear as

612
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:26,080
Speaker 3: opposed to a place of confidence, like, yeah, man, y'all

613
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:28,000
Speaker 3: know what we're doing, you still can't stop it. There's

614
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,400
Speaker 3: a supreme confidence, and I would call athletic arrogance that

615
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,200
Speaker 3: you have to have to be a championship team. Paranoid

616
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: doesn't get you that way. So Ben Johnson, what he's

617
00:29:36,840 --> 00:29:38,480
Speaker 3: telling you is, hey man, it doesn't matter if they

618
00:29:38,560 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 3: know what we're doing, If we're doing what we're supposed

619
00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:42,720
Speaker 3: to do, they can't stop it. Anyway.

620
00:29:43,320 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 2: Why is this coming out now? I don't care it.

621
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 3: I mean, just like every segment that we've talked about,

622
00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:53,120
Speaker 3: there are people that we know if we put them

623
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:56,800
Speaker 3: in a sentence, a conversation aheadline, it is going to

624
00:29:56,920 --> 00:30:01,000
Speaker 3: draw a reaction. Tom Brady is always going to get

625
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 3: a response one way or the other. Because there are

626
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 3: people that feel like, oh, he cheated the Flakegate, the Patriots.

627
00:30:06,160 --> 00:30:08,920
Speaker 3: They don't like him. There's an envy because he's the

628
00:30:08,960 --> 00:30:12,600
Speaker 3: all American boy who's also the ultimate winner. All of

629
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:16,160
Speaker 3: those things show up. So that's what it is, is Brady.

630
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 3: We're gonna tell stuff about Brady. You don't think broadcasters

631
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:22,120
Speaker 3: Troy Aiman. You don't think Troy Agne has ties to

632
00:30:22,160 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 3: the Cowboys. You don't think if Troy Aikman on his

633
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:27,880
Speaker 3: production call found some information that if he wanted to,

634
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 3: he could give Jerry Jones to those guys a call like,

635
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,760
Speaker 3: hey man, heads up, be aware of that every player

636
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,760
Speaker 3: that is in the booth has a tie to one

637
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:38,680
Speaker 3: or more of their former teams. So there's an adherent

638
00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 3: trust factor that has to exist when you're a professional.

639
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:45,400
Speaker 3: Professionalism over everything, and so Tom Brady just happens to

640
00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: be a headline name. That's why we're talking about it.

641
00:30:48,560 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: But you can say those same things about any broadcaster

642
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: that attends a production meeting.

643
00:30:53,080 --> 00:30:54,920
Speaker 2: That's a good call. It really is. By the way,

644
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: speaking of close, we have Wayne Wayne is in Los

645
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: Angeles wants to talk to Bucky Brooks right here on

646
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:01,480
Speaker 2: Fox Football Sunday. Wayne go ahead, my friend.

647
00:31:02,240 --> 00:31:05,760
Speaker 7: Good morning, and then Buckie, thank you for taking my car.

648
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:08,800
Speaker 7: I always have a great Sunday listening.

649
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 3: To you guys.

650
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:12,160
Speaker 2: Are you you other one? Wayne?

651
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:18,400
Speaker 7: You guys got to help me, especially you BUCkies, Omrion

652
00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 7: Hampton and asking Genty. Now the charger is supposed to

653
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,800
Speaker 7: be built with Hobball running the ball the other night

654
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 7: O Marion Hampton couldn't get it gone Genty. He started out,

655
00:31:33,720 --> 00:31:37,480
Speaker 7: he ran through a guy, and I don't know why

656
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,480
Speaker 7: Pete Carroll didn't keep on pushing him. And now I'm like,

657
00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:44,600
Speaker 7: if you had the draft to do again, why not

658
00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 7: draft Will Campbell instead of asking Genty? You know, tell

659
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,160
Speaker 7: me out buck.

660
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 3: Well up man. I think that's the big that's a

661
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 3: big conversation. It has been heightened because on ESPN it

662
00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:01,360
Speaker 3: was talked about in an open form about asking Genty,

663
00:32:01,520 --> 00:32:05,040
Speaker 3: not having it or not being special. I would say this,

664
00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 3: watching Ashton Genty at Boys State and studying him, he

665
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 3: certainly had great contact balance, he had great vision, he

666
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,200
Speaker 3: had big playability in those things. But I will say this,

667
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 3: players are like popcorn kernels. You know how you can

668
00:32:18,520 --> 00:32:20,600
Speaker 3: cook popcorn andy. You can put it all in the

669
00:32:20,640 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 3: same pot, same weyal same heat, but the popcorn pops

670
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,720
Speaker 3: at different times. It's the same thing. We don't know.

671
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: Even though Ashton genty was a first round pick, we

672
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,640
Speaker 3: don't know when it's going to click for him, when

673
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:35,160
Speaker 3: all the things that the coaches are telling them are

674
00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:37,720
Speaker 3: going to pop. In terms of his performance, but I

675
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 3: will say this, he has special ability. He runs through tackles.

676
00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,600
Speaker 3: He has to be given more chances to touch it

677
00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 3: to be able to show what he can do. And

678
00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:50,280
Speaker 3: that will happen in time. Obviously, Pete Carroll is on it.

679
00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:53,400
Speaker 3: He talked about opportunities. He needs more touches to get

680
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,040
Speaker 3: it going. I would think after a performance like that

681
00:32:56,040 --> 00:32:58,920
Speaker 3: that they'll make sure that he touches it enough to

682
00:32:58,960 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: have an impact on the game.

683
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,840
Speaker 2: Wayne, are you satisfied now?

684
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 7: Well, you know I'm gonna look for him against Washington today. Andy,

685
00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:09,520
Speaker 7: and thank you guys for taking my call. Y'all have

686
00:33:09,560 --> 00:33:12,120
Speaker 7: a great Sunday, and God bless all.

687
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:14,840
Speaker 2: Right Back at you, back at you? Ain't all right?

688
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:17,080
Speaker 2: Very interesting about that, Bucky. I knew you'd have the

689
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 2: answer for me. You made his day, Yes you did.

690
00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:22,560
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks on Ady Firman. We are Fox Football

691
00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 2: Sunday on Fox Sports Radio. The answer man cometh. That's

692
00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:31,200
Speaker 2: Bucky Brooks because asked Bucky is next as Bucky coming

693
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 2: right up. It's about thirteen minutes, not before the top

694
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:36,200
Speaker 2: of the hour. This is Fox Football Sunday. You know

695
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 2: why because they play football on Sunday on Fox Sports

696
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:41,200
Speaker 2: Radio and we're alive from the Fox Sports Radio studios.

697
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,720
Speaker 2: He's Bucky Brooks and Ay Firman and away we go

698
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,560
Speaker 2: and Bree, do you have a question for ask Bucky?

699
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 8: I do?

700
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:51,600
Speaker 9: Okay, So, between Tyrod Taylor, Marcus Mariota, and Carson Wentz, Bucky,

701
00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 9: who do you think has the most chance to kind

702
00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,840
Speaker 9: of like stand out and make an impact?

703
00:33:56,600 --> 00:33:59,640
Speaker 3: I would say that Marcus Mariota probably has the best chance,

704
00:34:00,280 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 3: only because the team around him is better. When you

705
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:07,760
Speaker 3: think about Deebo, Samuel Terry McLaurin, Jacorey like, they just

706
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: have more around him to be able to be successful.

707
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 3: That's why he just has to manage it. He doesn't

708
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 3: need to be the whole game.

709
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:18,520
Speaker 2: Now write that down. Will challenge him next week. Okay, Bucky,

710
00:34:18,760 --> 00:34:21,279
Speaker 2: what are the surprises you've noticed after the first two

711
00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,920
Speaker 2: weeks of the NFL play.

712
00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,880
Speaker 3: Baker Mayfield playing at an MVP level. The fact that

713
00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:28,440
Speaker 3: the last two weeks he's been able to put the

714
00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,160
Speaker 3: team on his back when they need it for game

715
00:34:30,200 --> 00:34:33,560
Speaker 3: winning drives speaks volumes about how far he's come for me,

716
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,840
Speaker 3: the guy that was on scout team in Carolina to

717
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 3: now being the franchise quarterback of the team that leads

718
00:34:40,440 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 3: the division in which Carolina plays in. To me, that's

719
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,800
Speaker 3: the biggest surprise.

720
00:34:44,480 --> 00:34:48,120
Speaker 2: Okay, now, we touched about Ben Johnson and the Bears

721
00:34:48,120 --> 00:34:50,920
Speaker 2: a little bit in the previous segment, but really and

722
00:34:50,960 --> 00:34:53,360
Speaker 2: truly what has gone wrong now with the Ben Johnson

723
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:57,240
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams marriage thus far in Chicago.

724
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 3: They need more time together, more time on task together.

725
00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:05,160
Speaker 3: And Caleb Williams, for all of those bad habits that

726
00:35:05,200 --> 00:35:08,040
Speaker 3: he has, he has to break them, and Ben Johnson

727
00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:09,480
Speaker 3: has to break him. And the only way that you

728
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:10,920
Speaker 3: can do it is you got to keep showing them

729
00:35:10,960 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 3: on tape. This is not the way that we need

730
00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:16,040
Speaker 3: you to play. You got to play on time, on schedule,

731
00:35:16,160 --> 00:35:19,799
Speaker 3: on target, all those things. And whenever they break those

732
00:35:19,840 --> 00:35:21,640
Speaker 3: bad habits, then they have a chance to succeed. But

733
00:35:21,760 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 3: right now he still falls back into those old ways.

734
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,799
Speaker 2: All right, Now the debate continues. We watch the game

735
00:35:28,200 --> 00:35:31,080
Speaker 2: the other day between the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs,

736
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:34,160
Speaker 2: and once again it raised its ugly head and it's

737
00:35:34,200 --> 00:35:36,800
Speaker 2: not really ahead right now. It's a tush the tush push.

738
00:35:37,040 --> 00:35:39,239
Speaker 2: And Andy Reid, the coach of the Chiefs, said, there's

739
00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:41,400
Speaker 2: a problem over here. I want to know, why is

740
00:35:41,440 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 2: it so difficult to officiate the tush push, because now

741
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:47,120
Speaker 2: there's some complaints on the part of the Chiefs that

742
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:49,960
Speaker 2: there was some movement on the line prior to the snap.

743
00:35:52,040 --> 00:35:54,319
Speaker 3: Look, man, I'm just tired of everyone whining about it.

744
00:35:54,600 --> 00:35:57,840
Speaker 3: Like everyone has an opportunity to run the same play.

745
00:35:58,400 --> 00:36:00,800
Speaker 3: They have mastered it. That why they convert that a

746
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,919
Speaker 3: ninety percent clip. Yeah, it's hard to officiate because it's

747
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:07,400
Speaker 3: a rugby scrub. Everyone is there. It's down the movement,

748
00:36:07,800 --> 00:36:10,719
Speaker 3: the anticipation on both sides of the snap, all of

749
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 3: that can make it difficult. But like, everybody has an

750
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:16,759
Speaker 3: opportunity to run the same play and they just don't,

751
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,000
Speaker 3: and they run it better than anybody else, So theyn't

752
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:21,799
Speaker 3: need to quit wine and didn't play against it, right, I.

753
00:36:21,760 --> 00:36:23,799
Speaker 2: Mean, but now it looks to me like they may

754
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:25,640
Speaker 2: be voting on that again, they may vote that.

755
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,359
Speaker 3: Out maybe, But even if they do, that's I mean,

756
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,279
Speaker 3: it's a bunch of babies, Like they got to quit

757
00:36:32,320 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 3: being babies. I just hate babies and whiners and all

758
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:36,200
Speaker 3: that other stuff. Figured it out.

759
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:38,880
Speaker 2: They just stop it, you know, if you don't like it,

760
00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,480
Speaker 2: stop the play, you know, don't don't let it happen. Really,

761
00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,680
Speaker 2: that's all I'm saying. Or get some three hundred and

762
00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,600
Speaker 2: fifty pounds linemen like the Eagles have, and you'll be

763
00:36:45,640 --> 00:36:46,640
Speaker 2: able to run it yourself.

764
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:49,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a big part of it. Yeah, that's a

765
00:36:49,920 --> 00:36:52,240
Speaker 3: big part of it. Figured it out, quit wine.

766
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:55,080
Speaker 2: How surprised are you now with the two and zero

767
00:36:55,200 --> 00:36:59,160
Speaker 2: start for Daniel Jones and the Indianapolis Colts.

768
00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:05,200
Speaker 3: Here's what I say. I am not surprised because I

769
00:37:05,280 --> 00:37:07,160
Speaker 3: felt like this was the perfect place for him to grow.

770
00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,760
Speaker 3: Shane Stikeen has done it successfully with quarterbacks athletic quarterbacks

771
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:13,640
Speaker 3: before Daddy Dins has played enough games and he understands

772
00:37:13,640 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: how to play winning football. And what he has is

773
00:37:16,040 --> 00:37:18,080
Speaker 3: a better cast did he ever had around him in

774
00:37:18,160 --> 00:37:21,560
Speaker 3: New York. You put a decent quarterback with better players,

775
00:37:21,560 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 3: he can play at a good level. That's what we

776
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,120
Speaker 3: were seeing with Danny Dimes.

777
00:37:25,719 --> 00:37:29,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'll talk about surprises earlier. Last week, Ucla and

778
00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,480
Speaker 2: Virginia Tech made some of the earliest college coaching changes

779
00:37:33,840 --> 00:37:36,759
Speaker 2: that I could ever remember. I mean, I've never seen

780
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:38,880
Speaker 2: that in college, you know, getting rid of coaches that

781
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 2: early in the year, Ucla Virginia Tech. How surprised were

782
00:37:42,280 --> 00:37:42,959
Speaker 2: you with that move?

783
00:37:44,680 --> 00:37:48,320
Speaker 3: Very surprised that it happened so soon? Right in terms

784
00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:52,879
Speaker 3: of you just don't I mean after three games. If

785
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 3: I'm firing you after three games, that means I didn't

786
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:57,520
Speaker 3: have a whole lot of confidence in you when I

787
00:37:57,520 --> 00:38:00,560
Speaker 3: brought you back, and so you probably should have poor

788
00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,440
Speaker 3: the plug at the end of the season if you

789
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:05,279
Speaker 3: felt that strongly. I mean, that's really what it tells you,

790
00:38:05,320 --> 00:38:09,360
Speaker 3: because after three games, what really shows up nothing. The

791
00:38:09,400 --> 00:38:12,040
Speaker 3: feelings that you had in the off season remained, but

792
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:14,200
Speaker 3: you were scared to pull the trigger. And now what

793
00:38:14,280 --> 00:38:16,600
Speaker 3: you do with you in essence ruined two seasons, because

794
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:18,040
Speaker 3: the end of last year and the beginning of this

795
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:19,120
Speaker 3: year are now washed.

796
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 2: I've heard you just say I was shocked about that.

797
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 2: Could you now say and I'm going to say it

798
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,240
Speaker 2: right now, the team to beat in the Big Twelve

799
00:38:29,280 --> 00:38:31,319
Speaker 2: this year is going to be Texas Tech.

800
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 3: Yes, you can say that. And the reason why the

801
00:38:36,480 --> 00:38:38,840
Speaker 3: reason the reason I would say one they got the

802
00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:41,440
Speaker 3: best roster that money can buy. So people aren't necessarily

803
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:45,719
Speaker 3: surprised at that, right, they're not surprised that that that

804
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,239
Speaker 3: is what is transpired. But it's more so to play

805
00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:50,120
Speaker 3: in between the lines, being able to get it going,

806
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:54,120
Speaker 3: making sure that they had this kind of success that

807
00:38:54,160 --> 00:38:56,399
Speaker 3: they have it at home. In a way, man, that's

808
00:38:56,600 --> 00:38:58,239
Speaker 3: absolutely what you want to see.

809
00:38:58,880 --> 00:39:01,200
Speaker 2: Right And I tell you, I you look at Texas

810
00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:02,879
Speaker 2: Tech and then on the other side of the coin

811
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 2: you look at Wisconsin and Wisconsin losing to Maryland. I

812
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:10,359
Speaker 2: mean that's like a no, no Again. I'm thinking it's

813
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:12,920
Speaker 2: not so much Luke Fickle can't coach because he did

814
00:39:12,960 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 2: a whale of a job at Cincinnati. The point is

815
00:39:15,600 --> 00:39:17,879
Speaker 2: that he probably doesn't have guys that's sticking their hands

816
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 2: in their wallet and writing checks to get players. Isn't

817
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:21,400
Speaker 2: that what it's all about?

818
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, some of that is definitely dead. Like you got

819
00:39:25,080 --> 00:39:28,280
Speaker 3: to make sure that you have you got had the players,

820
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:30,200
Speaker 3: Like we're only as good as the players that we

821
00:39:30,280 --> 00:39:33,120
Speaker 3: have and you got to stroke a check. You gotta

822
00:39:33,120 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: write a big check to make sure that happens.

823
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,600
Speaker 2: Amazing. I can't believe it. Okay, Sean McDermott to me,

824
00:39:39,200 --> 00:39:42,760
Speaker 2: most underrated coach in the NFL. If he's not Bucky

825
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,120
Speaker 2: Brooks said, tell me who is.

826
00:39:46,480 --> 00:39:51,000
Speaker 3: Man? Sean McDermott is really good. He is. Look, I'll

827
00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:53,640
Speaker 3: say this, Jonathan Gannon is done a really good job

828
00:39:53,680 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 3: down in the desert. Does get enough credit for the

829
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,840
Speaker 3: Cardinals jumping out to a t and oh start, for

830
00:39:57,920 --> 00:40:00,200
Speaker 3: them being competitive the last half of the season, ump

831
00:40:00,200 --> 00:40:02,760
Speaker 3: and into it. So yeah, Sean McDermott is the OGI

832
00:40:02,920 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 3: because he's done it for a long time. But keep

833
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,160
Speaker 3: an eye on Jonathan Yanny. He's done a really good

834
00:40:06,239 --> 00:40:06,640
Speaker 3: job too.

835
00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:09,680
Speaker 2: Do you want to ask me a question? I'm tired

836
00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,040
Speaker 2: of asking you questions. Is there anything you want to

837
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:14,440
Speaker 2: ask me? Because I probably don't have any answer to you?

838
00:40:14,560 --> 00:40:16,640
Speaker 3: You do, I got you? How much do you believe

839
00:40:16,640 --> 00:40:19,040
Speaker 3: in Jake Browning and the Cincinnati Bengals? Are you a believer?

840
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:21,960
Speaker 2: No, I'm really not. I just I just think that

841
00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,960
Speaker 2: it's an entirely different office. Yeah, they may have t

842
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:26,520
Speaker 2: Higgins and they may have. You know Jamar Chase on

843
00:40:26,520 --> 00:40:28,960
Speaker 2: the outside, but it's not gonna be the same, and

844
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,919
Speaker 2: it's gonna go to the run game and they can't run,

845
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:32,960
Speaker 2: so that's gonna be it. All right, Stay with us.

868
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:38,239
Speaker 2: for a second, buck because you are an author, you're

869
00:41:38,280 --> 00:41:41,800
Speaker 2: a commentator, you're a scout, you're a coach, TV and

870
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:45,360
Speaker 2: radio icon star and writer for NFL dot com and

871
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:48,920
Speaker 2: today it's Foxsports dot com. And I looked at it.

872
00:41:48,920 --> 00:41:51,520
Speaker 2: It's a goodie. You got the top ten this week,

873
00:41:51,719 --> 00:41:54,839
Speaker 2: and I gotta believe there's some surprises in there. Let's

874
00:41:54,880 --> 00:41:57,279
Speaker 2: forget the suspense and get into number one. How long

875
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,880
Speaker 2: did it take you to do this? Deal? Because I

876
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:01,279
Speaker 2: love this kind of the list? Really do top ten

877
00:42:01,360 --> 00:42:03,320
Speaker 2: as of the first two weeks of the season.

878
00:42:05,560 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 3: I mean, like you try and react right after, right

879
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:10,480
Speaker 3: after the games and those things, so it's right away,

880
00:42:10,840 --> 00:42:13,960
Speaker 3: like it's instantaneous. A lot of time.

881
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 2: All right, here we go. Now you have number one.

882
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:19,600
Speaker 2: You know a lot of times these people are gonna

883
00:42:19,600 --> 00:42:21,440
Speaker 2: give you the suspense. They go Tan and go down

884
00:42:21,480 --> 00:42:23,520
Speaker 2: to one. No, I'm gonna start with one. I'm gonna

885
00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,239
Speaker 2: start with one because there's a lot of surprise. I

886
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,440
Speaker 2: don't think there's no surprise yere, because you got the

887
00:42:27,440 --> 00:42:30,239
Speaker 2: Philadelphia Eagles, number one, the defending chairs. And I'll say

888
00:42:30,280 --> 00:42:32,719
Speaker 2: this much. You could talk about personnel all you want.

889
00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:34,880
Speaker 2: You could talk about even coaching. I'm gonna say the

890
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:38,359
Speaker 2: most valuable person in an entire organization. And I don't

891
00:42:38,400 --> 00:42:41,200
Speaker 2: know him from Adam is Howie Roseman, here's the guy

892
00:42:41,280 --> 00:42:43,239
Speaker 2: puts the team together. I think the guy is a

893
00:42:43,239 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 2: football genius and he never played the game. I did

894
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:48,399
Speaker 2: a bio in this guy. I read about him. He

895
00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:51,040
Speaker 2: went to Fordham Law School, wanted to work in the

896
00:42:51,080 --> 00:42:53,919
Speaker 2: National Football League. He wrote letters. I love the guy.

897
00:42:53,960 --> 00:42:56,640
Speaker 2: He wrote letters. He wrote letters to every team asking

898
00:42:56,680 --> 00:42:58,640
Speaker 2: for a job. He finally got a job in the

899
00:42:58,719 --> 00:43:00,919
Speaker 2: National Football League. And I think he's one of the best,

900
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:01,720
Speaker 2: if not the best.

901
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 3: Look, man, he's great, and he's great because he understands

902
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 3: exactly division that he has for the team. They are

903
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:13,640
Speaker 3: willing to look. Man, they'll pull the plug on mistakes

904
00:43:13,840 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 3: right away. They don't try and justify those mistakes when

905
00:43:17,040 --> 00:43:20,800
Speaker 3: they make them. They rectify him quickly, and then they're bold.

906
00:43:20,920 --> 00:43:23,839
Speaker 3: They always have enough in the war chest to make

907
00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 3: a move where they need to make it. This has

908
00:43:26,200 --> 00:43:27,960
Speaker 3: been a team that has always kind of been on

909
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,320
Speaker 3: the edge of forward thinking. They pay their guys early.

910
00:43:31,640 --> 00:43:34,200
Speaker 3: They'd rather pay him too much too soon, rather than

911
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:37,040
Speaker 3: wait and overpay for what they have. They just have

912
00:43:37,080 --> 00:43:38,839
Speaker 3: a clear sense of how they want to operate. It's

913
00:43:38,840 --> 00:43:40,279
Speaker 3: one of the reason why the Eagles are on top

914
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,360
Speaker 3: now and why they're gonna be in that conversation for

915
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 3: a while.

916
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:46,000
Speaker 2: You know, it's funny because you've always said that the

917
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:49,520
Speaker 2: NFL is a copycat league. If they've got so much success,

918
00:43:49,719 --> 00:43:52,000
Speaker 2: why aren't the others copying what they do? Now? Today's

919
00:43:52,000 --> 00:43:54,880
Speaker 2: gonna be a pretty goodie, it really is. Rams Eagles

920
00:43:54,880 --> 00:43:58,400
Speaker 2: today at Philadelphia. Game is on Fox one o'clock Eastern.

921
00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:01,280
Speaker 2: Both teams undefeated at two and zer and the Rams

922
00:44:01,280 --> 00:44:03,959
Speaker 2: did lose to the Eagles not once but twice last

923
00:44:04,040 --> 00:44:06,960
Speaker 2: year because you know why, they couldn't stop Sae Kwon Barkley.

924
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:08,400
Speaker 2: That's the name of the game in that game.

925
00:44:10,680 --> 00:44:13,000
Speaker 3: I mean, Tae Kwon Barkley's a beast. He hasn't gone

926
00:44:13,040 --> 00:44:15,640
Speaker 3: off yet. But he's always there. This is a really

927
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,600
Speaker 3: good game in terms of being able to see where

928
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,200
Speaker 3: the Rams are. The Rams to me are on the

929
00:44:20,200 --> 00:44:22,520
Speaker 3: fringe of being a title team. They're there, they have

930
00:44:22,560 --> 00:44:25,080
Speaker 3: all the pieces in place, but I need to see

931
00:44:25,080 --> 00:44:27,960
Speaker 3: them knock off the heavyweight to fully believe in buy in.

932
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:32,320
Speaker 3: So that's why this is huge for them. Their confidence there, standing,

933
00:44:32,360 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 3: the respect, and then for the champs, it's another opportunity

934
00:44:36,680 --> 00:44:39,480
Speaker 3: to vanquish a challenger. Can they continue to do it?

935
00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:42,960
Speaker 3: Because as the champ, when you begin to continue to

936
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,600
Speaker 3: dismantle and remove all of those challengers, you begin to

937
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:51,400
Speaker 3: have that psychological advantage when we're going to the postseason

938
00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:53,000
Speaker 3: when you have to play some of these teams again.

939
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,759
Speaker 2: All right, so you got them at number one, number two.

940
00:44:57,040 --> 00:44:58,920
Speaker 2: I kind of looked at that and scratched my head

941
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:00,840
Speaker 2: a little bit. You got the green Bay Packers. Obviously

942
00:45:00,960 --> 00:45:05,000
Speaker 2: the Michael Parson deals probably the best. Right Well, I

943
00:45:05,080 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 2: thought Buffalo. I thought the Buffalo Bills might be number two.

944
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:12,879
Speaker 2: I mean, what was the reason behind you a deal?

945
00:45:12,960 --> 00:45:14,879
Speaker 2: But Buffalo number three in green Bay two?

946
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: I think Green Bay is a super Bowl team And

947
00:45:19,040 --> 00:45:21,200
Speaker 3: I'm just waiting for the opportunity to put them at

948
00:45:21,280 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 3: number one because they built the right way. Michael Parson

949
00:45:23,400 --> 00:45:25,840
Speaker 3: gives them a dominant defense. That defense doesn't surrender a

950
00:45:25,880 --> 00:45:29,080
Speaker 3: lot of points. Offensively, they can run it through Josh

951
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:30,439
Speaker 3: Jacobs or Jordan Love.

952
00:45:30,840 --> 00:45:31,000
Speaker 2: Uh.

953
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:35,160
Speaker 3: They have complete balance on their roster, not a glaring hole,

954
00:45:35,239 --> 00:45:39,080
Speaker 3: not a glaring weakness. And in the postseason it comes

955
00:45:39,080 --> 00:45:40,759
Speaker 3: down to star power. So if you want me to

956
00:45:40,800 --> 00:45:44,719
Speaker 3: compare the Packers to the Bills, I would say the

957
00:45:44,760 --> 00:45:48,480
Speaker 3: star power is built for the Green Bay Packers to

958
00:45:48,520 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 3: have success because on defense in particular, they have stars.

959
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,479
Speaker 3: The Buffalo Bills are a collective unit. They get it done. Uh,

960
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:00,720
Speaker 3: it kind of an unheralded fashion. But in those moments

961
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:02,839
Speaker 3: when you need someone to make a play, there are

962
00:46:02,840 --> 00:46:04,840
Speaker 3: more guys on the Packers that are brand names that

963
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:07,480
Speaker 3: are known for making plays more so than the Buffalo Bills.

964
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,040
Speaker 2: And today the Packers are playing the Cleveland Browns and

965
00:46:10,080 --> 00:46:12,680
Speaker 2: Cleveland package two and oh Browns zero and two. And

966
00:46:12,719 --> 00:46:14,719
Speaker 2: I feel for Joe Flacop because he may be on

967
00:46:14,760 --> 00:46:17,720
Speaker 2: his rear end a couple of times today with that defense,

968
00:46:17,760 --> 00:46:21,279
Speaker 2: that pressure defense on quarterbacks that the Packers have, so

969
00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:25,080
Speaker 2: that that's gonna happen there. Okay, And the Michael Parsons

970
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,840
Speaker 2: edition I think makes Green Bay maybe the best defense

971
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:29,719
Speaker 2: in the league right now.

972
00:46:29,800 --> 00:46:34,480
Speaker 3: Agreed, Uh, yeah, I think so. I think it's the

973
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 3: combination of players in scheme. But yeah, in Jeff Haflee's

974
00:46:37,680 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 3: Seaball Getball scheme, yeah, they're terrific. He's a terrific edition.

975
00:46:42,040 --> 00:46:45,279
Speaker 3: He gives them an instant pass rusher, someone that can

976
00:46:45,320 --> 00:46:48,160
Speaker 3: create pressure right away. And the more pressure you can

977
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:50,600
Speaker 3: create at the point of attack, the more the turners

978
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,640
Speaker 3: begin to come. And we've seen he's had an impact

979
00:46:52,719 --> 00:46:55,359
Speaker 3: right away, not only on the secondary but also on

980
00:46:55,360 --> 00:46:58,359
Speaker 3: his cast as front linemates. All of those guys can

981
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 3: get busy because if attention is on number one at

982
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,200
Speaker 3: the point of attack.

983
00:47:01,560 --> 00:47:04,560
Speaker 2: Okay, we talked about coaching the guys that may be underrated.

984
00:47:04,560 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 2: We talk about Sean McDermott that got you got Buffalo's

985
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:08,960
Speaker 2: number three. I think Matt Lafleur is right up there

986
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,040
Speaker 2: as well. I mean, these two guys are tremendous coaches

987
00:47:11,040 --> 00:47:13,880
Speaker 2: in the National Football League, Lafleur and McDermott.

988
00:47:13,880 --> 00:47:17,680
Speaker 3: So Buffalo's three, right, Yeah, I mean Buffalo's right there.

989
00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,239
Speaker 3: Workman like team. They have all the things Josh Allen

990
00:47:20,239 --> 00:47:21,759
Speaker 3: can put on the Cape at any time and take

991
00:47:21,800 --> 00:47:24,920
Speaker 3: it over. You have to have some of that, all right.

992
00:47:25,400 --> 00:47:31,400
Speaker 2: You got the Charges at number four, and that's big.

993
00:47:31,480 --> 00:47:34,359
Speaker 2: I mean Jim Harbor. You know, Jim Harbor might be

994
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:38,279
Speaker 2: and this is a stretch. When all is said and done,

995
00:47:38,320 --> 00:47:40,800
Speaker 2: he may be one of the greatest coaches of all time.

996
00:47:41,719 --> 00:47:43,200
Speaker 2: What he's done in college, now what he's doing in

997
00:47:43,200 --> 00:47:45,880
Speaker 2: the National Football League. Do you agree the Charges are

998
00:47:45,880 --> 00:47:48,279
Speaker 2: hosting the Broncos today. They're undefeated at too and O.

999
00:47:49,200 --> 00:47:52,719
Speaker 3: Yeah, they are undefeated, and he does understand how to

1000
00:47:52,760 --> 00:47:55,799
Speaker 3: win it. He has a way of building the confidence

1001
00:47:55,880 --> 00:47:58,600
Speaker 3: of players who struggle before his arrival, but then they

1002
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:01,000
Speaker 3: play like superstars when he gets I think about Quinton

1003
00:48:01,080 --> 00:48:03,480
Speaker 3: Johnson and how we were told that he can't catch,

1004
00:48:03,480 --> 00:48:05,320
Speaker 3: you can't make a play, former first run out of

1005
00:48:05,400 --> 00:48:08,840
Speaker 3: TCU and all we have seen since Jim Harbor has arrived.

1006
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:11,799
Speaker 3: He makes big plays down the field. He's been what

1007
00:48:11,880 --> 00:48:13,640
Speaker 3: they thought he was going to be when he came

1008
00:48:13,680 --> 00:48:15,920
Speaker 3: into the league. He does that. He does that for

1009
00:48:15,960 --> 00:48:19,080
Speaker 3: so many and they have a proven program that works.

1010
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,160
Speaker 3: And if you look at his track record, this year.

1011
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:24,120
Speaker 3: She'd been the charge of you to go to the

1012
00:48:24,120 --> 00:48:24,520
Speaker 3: super Bowl.

1013
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:27,600
Speaker 2: Here you go. I mean, he's something else, he really is.

1014
00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:30,040
Speaker 2: I mean, and you look. I love the guy because

1015
00:48:30,040 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 2: he got to Michigan just in time, you know what

1016
00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:35,080
Speaker 2: I mean. He you know, I'm not saying he was

1017
00:48:35,120 --> 00:48:38,560
Speaker 2: involved with what the situation happened in Michigan with the

1018
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:42,200
Speaker 2: scatting reports and whatever it may have been. But as

1019
00:48:42,239 --> 00:48:45,400
Speaker 2: a head coach is a somewhat CEO of the organization.

1020
00:48:45,760 --> 00:48:48,080
Speaker 2: You're responsible. It's kind of like what happened with Rick

1021
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 2: Petina with Louisville. You know they had these the hookahs

1022
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:53,160
Speaker 2: and the dorms or whatever it may be. Said he

1023
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:55,439
Speaker 2: didn't know anything about it. Well you have to. It's

1024
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:59,720
Speaker 2: your program. Everything underneath you is your responsibility. But he bolted.

1025
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:01,920
Speaker 2: He went out there. And the funny thing is Nancy

1026
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:04,319
Speaker 2: Duble is the greatest. They gave him, what a ten

1027
00:49:04,400 --> 00:49:06,640
Speaker 2: year deal that he can't coach in college anymore. He

1028
00:49:06,680 --> 00:49:10,040
Speaker 2: ain't coming back Harvard's not gonna come back to college anymore.

1029
00:49:10,239 --> 00:49:13,239
Speaker 2: This may be his last stand. Coach the charges a

1030
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:15,800
Speaker 2: couple of more years and then go to Hawaiian, relax

1031
00:49:16,040 --> 00:49:17,640
Speaker 2: and retire. That's what he's gonna do.

1032
00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:22,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's what he is going to do.

1033
00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:24,960
Speaker 3: I mean he's a great I mean he's a great coach.

1034
00:49:25,160 --> 00:49:26,520
Speaker 3: I mean he's a great coach. I don't know if

1035
00:49:26,560 --> 00:49:28,480
Speaker 3: he'll ever retired though. I mean I think he'll just

1036
00:49:28,520 --> 00:49:30,680
Speaker 3: continue to play it out and live in an RV somewhere,

1037
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,000
Speaker 3: Like he talked about, he just loves I.

1038
00:49:32,920 --> 00:49:36,040
Speaker 2: Love his intensity on the sideline. I mean he's always

1039
00:49:36,200 --> 00:49:39,680
Speaker 2: crouching down, hands on his knees and just like involved

1040
00:49:39,680 --> 00:49:41,520
Speaker 2: in like it looks like he wants to get on

1041
00:49:41,520 --> 00:49:44,279
Speaker 2: the field and play. Really it really does. I Mean

1042
00:49:44,320 --> 00:49:47,080
Speaker 2: some coaches are sitting back whatever it may be, and

1043
00:49:47,120 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 2: they're too busy talking on the headsets. But he is involved,

1044
00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,200
Speaker 2: I mean on the sidelines. I didn't even think he

1045
00:49:52,280 --> 00:49:55,759
Speaker 2: was headsets does I don't, I don't recall now, Yeah, I.

1046
00:49:55,680 --> 00:49:57,840
Speaker 3: Think I think he does. But he doesn't call plays

1047
00:49:57,880 --> 00:49:59,799
Speaker 3: or anything. He's a he's an old school head coach.

1048
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,319
Speaker 3: He calls the game. He managed the entire operation, and

1049
00:50:04,360 --> 00:50:07,120
Speaker 3: that's why they've had a lot of success. He manages

1050
00:50:07,160 --> 00:50:10,439
Speaker 3: the operation. He knows what everyone is doing. He keeps

1051
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:14,640
Speaker 3: everyone in line, and that's why they went no doubt about.

1052
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,200
Speaker 2: That number five team. You got the Rams, and the

1053
00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:19,480
Speaker 2: Rams are going to Philadelphia at tennant to play Eagles

1054
00:50:19,480 --> 00:50:20,759
Speaker 2: to undefeated teams at two and one.

1055
00:50:20,800 --> 00:50:21,239
Speaker 3: You call the.

1056
00:50:21,320 --> 00:50:25,040
Speaker 2: Rams a blue collar squad? What does that mean? Blue collar?

1057
00:50:26,560 --> 00:50:30,160
Speaker 3: Look? Man, I'll say this about Sean McVeigh and in

1058
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:35,680
Speaker 3: La haveing lived there. It's a city that is so

1059
00:50:35,880 --> 00:50:40,720
Speaker 3: accustomed to showtime Lakers, flashy Dodgers and all of that stuff.

1060
00:50:40,960 --> 00:50:42,719
Speaker 3: And what he has been able to do is he

1061
00:50:42,760 --> 00:50:46,040
Speaker 3: has been able to fashion this team into a blue

1062
00:50:46,120 --> 00:50:49,120
Speaker 3: collar team. They run the football, they play physical on defense,

1063
00:50:49,160 --> 00:50:51,920
Speaker 3: they get after it. They understand how to harass people

1064
00:50:52,239 --> 00:50:56,200
Speaker 3: in a way that look physicality, violence, toughness. They play

1065
00:50:56,280 --> 00:50:59,759
Speaker 3: that way. That's not typically what you would associate with Temseltown.

1066
00:51:00,080 --> 00:51:04,520
Speaker 3: That's not normally how Hollywood operates. You think about pretty

1067
00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,560
Speaker 3: and finesse. That's not the Rams. And because they can

1068
00:51:07,600 --> 00:51:11,160
Speaker 3: flip styles from being a physical team or a team

1069
00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,320
Speaker 3: that can throw it all over the yard with Matthew Stafford,

1070
00:51:13,400 --> 00:51:16,480
Speaker 3: they're very, very difficult to deal with. That's why they'refore

1071
00:51:16,800 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 3: I mean, that's why they're right behind the Chargers on

1072
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,560
Speaker 3: that list. They're five, But man, they could easily put

1073
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 3: them up to two or three, and I'm waiting for

1074
00:51:23,239 --> 00:51:25,400
Speaker 3: a notable win to put them up there.

1075
00:51:25,280 --> 00:51:27,200
Speaker 2: Are you gonna do this every week? It's just just

1076
00:51:27,239 --> 00:51:28,120
Speaker 2: a one shot deal.

1077
00:51:28,600 --> 00:51:31,560
Speaker 3: Nah, every week. Man, every week it's their early Monday morning.

1078
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:33,680
Speaker 3: The only problem that I have is those those Monday

1079
00:51:33,719 --> 00:51:36,160
Speaker 3: night games. Sometimes they're not included, so I have to guesstimate.

1080
00:51:36,560 --> 00:51:38,919
Speaker 3: So when you see the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the Charger,

1081
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:40,600
Speaker 3: they had to guess that they were gonna be there,

1082
00:51:40,760 --> 00:51:42,960
Speaker 3: that they were gonna win their games, you know, So

1083
00:51:43,239 --> 00:51:46,800
Speaker 3: sometimes I could look foolish. If the Sunday, the Monday

1084
00:51:46,840 --> 00:51:47,680
Speaker 3: night game goes.

1085
00:51:47,520 --> 00:51:49,640
Speaker 2: Around, well, now you got a tough because there's a

1086
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:51,719
Speaker 2: heck of a game tomorrow night. The Lions are playing

1087
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:54,000
Speaker 2: in Baltimore against the Ravens. That's gonna be a toughie.

1088
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:56,279
Speaker 2: Both teams are one and one right now. And you know,

1089
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,520
Speaker 2: Lamar Jackson to me and I loved him when he

1090
00:51:58,560 --> 00:52:00,759
Speaker 2: went to Louisville. He's one of the this is I

1091
00:52:00,800 --> 00:52:02,839
Speaker 2: know it sounds stupid, but he's one of the few guys.

1092
00:52:02,840 --> 00:52:04,440
Speaker 2: When there was a story in the paper, I clipped

1093
00:52:04,440 --> 00:52:06,280
Speaker 2: it out mailer to him at Louisville and he wrote

1094
00:52:06,280 --> 00:52:10,439
Speaker 2: me back, Okay, that never happens. I don't expect it,

1095
00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:12,919
Speaker 2: but the fact that he did, I mean, he's high

1096
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:15,120
Speaker 2: on my list right now. But the problem with Lamar

1097
00:52:15,239 --> 00:52:17,640
Speaker 2: Jackson and the other day when they announced that Clayton

1098
00:52:17,680 --> 00:52:21,320
Speaker 2: Kersheer was going to retire from the Dodgers, and Clayton

1099
00:52:21,320 --> 00:52:24,480
Speaker 2: had great regular season redcords whatever, you know, first ballot,

1100
00:52:24,560 --> 00:52:26,399
Speaker 2: Hall of Fame and no doubt, but when it came

1101
00:52:26,440 --> 00:52:29,040
Speaker 2: to the playoffs, he kind of gassed out. And the

1102
00:52:29,080 --> 00:52:31,200
Speaker 2: same thing with Lamar. And I thought about that for

1103
00:52:31,239 --> 00:52:34,399
Speaker 2: a second, and wait a second. Clayton kershew is going

1104
00:52:34,400 --> 00:52:36,320
Speaker 2: through a season of one hundred and sixty two games.

1105
00:52:36,600 --> 00:52:39,359
Speaker 2: Maybe he just didn't have anything left by the time

1106
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:41,840
Speaker 2: they get to the playoffs. Maybe that's it. Maybe the

1107
00:52:41,880 --> 00:52:43,920
Speaker 2: same thing with Lamar. People say, well he can't play

1108
00:52:43,960 --> 00:52:46,480
Speaker 2: under the big lights. That's garbage. I don't believe that.

1109
00:52:46,719 --> 00:52:49,120
Speaker 2: If you're a pro, you're a pro, it doesn't bother you.

1110
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:51,319
Speaker 2: You're playing on Monday night football, that's big lights too.

1111
00:52:51,400 --> 00:52:53,200
Speaker 2: You got everybody in the league watching you on that

1112
00:52:53,239 --> 00:52:55,680
Speaker 2: Monday night game. So I just think that maybe after

1113
00:52:55,719 --> 00:52:58,920
Speaker 2: playing seventeen games and you go to the playoffs. Right now,

1114
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:01,440
Speaker 2: the legs are a little the ams a little looser.

1115
00:53:01,480 --> 00:53:03,600
Speaker 2: I mean, it's just and you're all banged up every

1116
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 2: week you're getting banged up. Is that a possibility, Yeah,

1117
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:09,040
Speaker 2: that is a possibility.

1118
00:53:09,120 --> 00:53:10,920
Speaker 3: You can get beat up, you know you can. You

1119
00:53:10,920 --> 00:53:13,400
Speaker 3: can you can burn out. You can use all your

1120
00:53:13,400 --> 00:53:15,600
Speaker 3: gas up in the regular season not have anything left

1121
00:53:15,600 --> 00:53:17,560
Speaker 3: in the postseason. Yeah, that's the thing. And you have

1122
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:19,879
Speaker 3: to understand how to manage that, how to keep that

1123
00:53:20,360 --> 00:53:24,799
Speaker 3: in check. But I mean, those are good problems to

1124
00:53:24,840 --> 00:53:28,080
Speaker 3: have because you can't win the deal until you're in

1125
00:53:28,200 --> 00:53:32,000
Speaker 3: the deal. And by having great regular season success, that

1126
00:53:32,120 --> 00:53:34,719
Speaker 3: gives you a chance to have your those postseason failures.

1127
00:53:34,920 --> 00:53:37,080
Speaker 3: And you at least want to have a shot to

1128
00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:38,560
Speaker 3: be able to do it one way or the other.

1129
00:53:39,520 --> 00:53:41,960
Speaker 2: So what are you gonna do now? Because tomorrow night

1130
00:53:42,120 --> 00:53:43,960
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to make the pick before that Lions

1131
00:53:44,040 --> 00:53:46,760
Speaker 2: Ravens game. And last week the Lions had five different

1132
00:53:46,800 --> 00:53:49,400
Speaker 2: guys that scored touchdowns in their game last week? What

1133
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:49,920
Speaker 2: are you gonna do?

1134
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:50,160
Speaker 3: Are you?

1135
00:53:50,760 --> 00:53:52,920
Speaker 2: Are you picking the Lions? But the game is in Baltimore,

1136
00:53:52,960 --> 00:53:55,080
Speaker 2: which means something, But who do you like in this

1137
00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:55,960
Speaker 2: gun is a toughie.

1138
00:53:57,040 --> 00:53:58,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a toughie right now. If you have to

1139
00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,520
Speaker 3: tell me, I'm gonna go with the Baltimore raven when

1140
00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:02,400
Speaker 3: they're playing your home too, they had the better roster

1141
00:54:02,840 --> 00:54:06,160
Speaker 3: and there's more continuity in these big games. There's a

1142
00:54:06,200 --> 00:54:08,600
Speaker 3: trust factor has to exist, not only in terms of

1143
00:54:08,640 --> 00:54:11,200
Speaker 3: what the plan is, but what is the adjustment gonna

1144
00:54:11,239 --> 00:54:13,640
Speaker 3: be if they knock off that first plan and if

1145
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:15,839
Speaker 3: they snuff out that first plan, how do we get

1146
00:54:15,840 --> 00:54:17,640
Speaker 3: to play? And b do you have trust in the

1147
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:21,080
Speaker 3: coordinators with new bees that coordinated for the Lions. I'm

1148
00:54:21,200 --> 00:54:23,680
Speaker 3: leaning towards the Ravens just because of that factor.

1149
00:54:25,719 --> 00:54:28,400
Speaker 2: I like that list. I like Lamoar, He's my guy. Okay,

1150
00:54:28,560 --> 00:54:31,040
Speaker 2: this is a shocker. And believe me, if someone would

1151
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,439
Speaker 2: have told you that you're gonna put together a list

1152
00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,080
Speaker 2: after the second week and you're gonna put the Indianapolis

1153
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:38,680
Speaker 2: Colts at seven, you would have left in their face.

1154
00:54:38,920 --> 00:54:41,200
Speaker 2: Especially if I would have said that, right, Colts are two,

1155
00:54:41,200 --> 00:54:43,480
Speaker 2: and I would have played after Titans and Tennessee oh

1156
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,160
Speaker 2: and two? All right? And then number seven? Right now?

1157
00:54:46,200 --> 00:54:48,839
Speaker 2: Who knows, like you said that Daniel Jones could play

1158
00:54:48,840 --> 00:54:52,640
Speaker 2: at a Pro Bowl level after being dismissed in New York,

1159
00:54:52,920 --> 00:54:54,719
Speaker 2: and today they're gonna be three and oh they're probably

1160
00:54:54,719 --> 00:54:55,600
Speaker 2: gonna be Tennessee.

1161
00:54:55,760 --> 00:55:01,080
Speaker 3: In Tennessee, I mean yeah, I mean, look, here's what

1162
00:55:01,120 --> 00:55:04,080
Speaker 3: I'll say about the Colts. The Coats find the quarter

1163
00:55:04,239 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 3: found the quarterback Anthony Richison. Now we have evidence Anthony

1164
00:55:08,320 --> 00:55:12,080
Speaker 3: Richison was holding the Colts back. And Daniel Jones has

1165
00:55:12,080 --> 00:55:15,440
Speaker 3: allowed Shansdyke and to utilize the entire playbook. The skilled

1166
00:55:15,480 --> 00:55:19,480
Speaker 3: players around Daniel Jones terrific, great offensive line. And then

1167
00:55:19,560 --> 00:55:21,600
Speaker 3: lou and Aroumo, the guy that you guys didn't want

1168
00:55:21,640 --> 00:55:24,879
Speaker 3: to be in Cincinnati was going to Indianapolis. He's going

1169
00:55:24,920 --> 00:55:27,759
Speaker 3: to Indianapolis and really made them a look a top

1170
00:55:27,760 --> 00:55:31,600
Speaker 3: flight defense with a lot of creativity that gives offensive

1171
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:33,880
Speaker 3: coordinator problems. That's working.

1172
00:55:33,880 --> 00:55:36,080
Speaker 2: How happy much lou Anoumo be right now? I mean,

1173
00:55:36,480 --> 00:55:39,279
Speaker 2: no one likes to see anybody get hurt, right, I

1174
00:55:39,320 --> 00:55:42,279
Speaker 2: mean Joe Burrow right now. And everybody's saying, hey, you know,

1175
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,120
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow will be bad three month. No, they don't

1176
00:55:45,160 --> 00:55:48,120
Speaker 2: realize how serious this turf toe thing is. He'd be

1177
00:55:48,200 --> 00:55:50,479
Speaker 2: better off if he had a broken leg than having

1178
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:53,000
Speaker 2: turf toe, right, don't you think? I think so.

1179
00:55:53,760 --> 00:55:58,439
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a pain in the neck. I mean it's yeah,

1180
00:55:58,560 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 3: because you just don't unders staying like if you just

1181
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:04,200
Speaker 3: move around, man, your big toe is central to every

1182
00:56:04,320 --> 00:56:08,839
Speaker 3: movement that you have, and when it's painful to put

1183
00:56:08,880 --> 00:56:12,320
Speaker 3: pressure on or you can't fully utilize it, it limits

1184
00:56:12,320 --> 00:56:14,920
Speaker 3: what you can do. That's why the surgery is so

1185
00:56:14,960 --> 00:56:16,840
Speaker 3: and that's why he's talking about three months to fully

1186
00:56:16,880 --> 00:56:19,799
Speaker 3: rehab from that. Even then it still may never be

1187
00:56:19,880 --> 00:56:20,239
Speaker 3: the same.

1188
00:56:20,920 --> 00:56:24,279
Speaker 2: Well, you know Jack Lambert didn't he his career was

1189
00:56:24,360 --> 00:56:26,880
Speaker 2: ended because the turf toe, wasn't it. I believe it

1190
00:56:26,920 --> 00:56:29,520
Speaker 2: was when the Steelers. I think he had turf toe.

1191
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:31,799
Speaker 2: He had a quit. He couldn't play anymore. And I'm

1192
00:56:31,800 --> 00:56:34,680
Speaker 2: not wishing the kiss of death, believe me on Joe Burrow.

1193
00:56:34,680 --> 00:56:37,680
Speaker 2: But I'm saying this. The fans here are going bananas.

1194
00:56:37,680 --> 00:56:40,760
Speaker 2: They're like in morning and they say, well, the doctors

1195
00:56:40,800 --> 00:56:43,800
Speaker 2: say three months. So here's my take. Okay, say the

1196
00:56:43,880 --> 00:56:47,000
Speaker 2: Bengals like four and six going into December, and that's

1197
00:56:47,040 --> 00:56:49,360
Speaker 2: three months. He'd be out of his freaking mind to

1198
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,399
Speaker 2: want to come back and play. If they're four and six.

1199
00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,400
Speaker 2: Was you're playing for nothing anyway, it could be injured.

1200
00:56:53,560 --> 00:56:56,239
Speaker 2: He My feeling is this, he's gone for the year.

1201
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 2: He's not playing. This is forget it. He will not

1202
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:00,839
Speaker 2: see number nine on the Bengals play anymore this year.

1203
00:57:01,719 --> 00:57:03,439
Speaker 3: I think you may see him. I think he'll figure

1204
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,239
Speaker 3: out really kind of get back in the mix. Yeah,

1205
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:08,080
Speaker 3: I think you see him play. If they're in contention,

1206
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:10,640
Speaker 3: I have no doubt that they're trying to figure out

1207
00:57:10,640 --> 00:57:11,680
Speaker 3: a way to get him on the mix.

1208
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:15,920
Speaker 2: Wow. I love to hear that. Okay, all right, speaking

1209
00:57:15,920 --> 00:57:18,280
Speaker 2: of contenttion, you got Tampa Bay there number eight on

1210
00:57:18,320 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 2: your list and the bucket Brooks looks Tampa Bay is

1211
00:57:20,920 --> 00:57:25,000
Speaker 2: number eight, and it's all it's all Baker Mayfield. Really,

1212
00:57:25,200 --> 00:57:27,080
Speaker 2: I mean it is a guy came back from the dead.

1213
00:57:27,560 --> 00:57:31,600
Speaker 2: He really did. It's unbelievable. They are playing the Jets

1214
00:57:31,640 --> 00:57:34,880
Speaker 2: today in Tampa. Jets on two, Buccaneers two and oh,

1215
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:38,160
Speaker 2: i'd say right now, there'll be three and oh. I

1216
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:40,960
Speaker 2: mean the Jets they just can't catch a break. I

1217
00:57:40,960 --> 00:57:43,919
Speaker 2: mean they can't get on the scoreboard. And they got

1218
00:57:43,960 --> 00:57:48,120
Speaker 2: Tyrod Taylor playing quarterback today replacing Justin Fields. Although they're

1219
00:57:48,200 --> 00:57:50,800
Speaker 2: similar in the sense that they run the football, but

1220
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:53,080
Speaker 2: Tyrod does not run as good as well as Justin

1221
00:57:53,120 --> 00:57:55,760
Speaker 2: Fields and Tyron's getting up in the age. Bracter there,

1222
00:57:55,800 --> 00:57:58,280
Speaker 2: So Tampa Bay is number eight, right, you like that?

1223
00:57:58,840 --> 00:58:02,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, Tampa's number eight. Baker Mayfield factor, Baker Mayfield playing well,

1224
00:58:02,760 --> 00:58:07,040
Speaker 3: toy bows defense going bananas, and then just the fire

1225
00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:08,960
Speaker 3: prowerty that they have. They have a lot of confidence, man,

1226
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:11,360
Speaker 3: because they kind of fly under the radar. No one

1227
00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:13,920
Speaker 3: talks about them, but they're always one of the top teams.

1228
00:58:13,920 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 3: I mean, they've won a division four years in a row.

1229
00:58:16,160 --> 00:58:19,360
Speaker 3: That speaks volumes about their consistency. They understand, they have

1230
00:58:19,400 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 3: a pedigree, they know who they are. They play to

1231
00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:22,960
Speaker 3: their strengths, and they're tough out.

1232
00:58:23,720 --> 00:58:27,080
Speaker 2: Number nine, Detroit, number ten, San Francisco and the shocker

1233
00:58:27,680 --> 00:58:31,400
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs did not make Bucky Brooks top ten.

1234
00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:36,280
Speaker 2: All right? No, I mean, regardless, is that really a shocker?

1235
00:58:36,320 --> 00:58:37,240
Speaker 3: They're owing too.

1236
00:58:38,240 --> 00:58:40,320
Speaker 2: Where you did it on the record? I mean, is

1237
00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:43,680
Speaker 2: it the roster or the record that kind of pushed

1238
00:58:43,680 --> 00:58:45,360
Speaker 2: you aside that you didn't put them in the top ten.

1239
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:49,640
Speaker 3: It's how they play, It's what we've seen, Like they're

1240
00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:53,280
Speaker 3: owing two they're struggling on offense. They can't score. I

1241
00:58:53,320 --> 00:58:56,160
Speaker 3: mean defensively they're fine, but Philadelphia didn't bring their a

1242
00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:01,640
Speaker 3: game and control the game for most parts of it. Look, man,

1243
00:59:02,640 --> 00:59:05,720
Speaker 3: you can't. You can't continue to give them grades off

1244
00:59:05,760 --> 00:59:09,640
Speaker 3: reputation like they have to earn those things. And they're

1245
00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:11,640
Speaker 3: not a top ten team right now. Maybe they can

1246
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:14,360
Speaker 3: get back into it, but they're not a top ten team.

1247
00:59:14,600 --> 00:59:16,000
Speaker 2: How do you like that? I love it.

1248
00:59:16,080 --> 00:59:17,800
Speaker 3: Next, you can want me to have the Cowboys in there.

1249
00:59:17,800 --> 00:59:19,280
Speaker 3: You won't want me to have the Cowboys in it

1250
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:20,760
Speaker 3: just because of the Cowboys.

1251
00:59:21,040 --> 00:59:23,960
Speaker 2: You're tough, You're tough, right, He's Bucky Brooks. He's a

1252
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:26,120
Speaker 2: tough he's a tough teacher. He really is. Hey, by

1280
01:00:47,240 --> 01:00:50,120

1304
01:02:01,480 --> 01:02:04,320
Speaker 2: here's a record. This is an amazing record. It really is. Buck.

1305
01:02:04,520 --> 01:02:06,480
Speaker 2: Through two weeks of the NFL season right now, the

1306
01:02:06,480 --> 01:02:09,360
Speaker 2: Cleveland Browns have given up just three hundred and eighty

1307
01:02:09,360 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 2: three total yards. I know they're on to two, but

1308
01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,600
Speaker 2: they're the first team in thirty one years to start

1309
01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:15,960
Speaker 2: on to two giving up less than four hundred total

1310
01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,920
Speaker 2: yards through two games. How do you like? That doesn't

1311
01:02:18,960 --> 01:02:22,040
Speaker 2: mean anything? Stats mean nothing, They mean nothing because they

1312
01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:24,840
Speaker 2: just they can't win and then I'm winning. That's the

1313
01:02:24,880 --> 01:02:25,360
Speaker 2: way it is.

1314
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:32,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's tough. I'm not surprised that they haven't been winning.

1315
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 3: I am surprised that they've been able to keep the

1316
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,600
Speaker 3: opponent down like that in terms of production. Uh, you

1317
01:02:38,720 --> 01:02:40,520
Speaker 3: just don't. You just don't have the wins the show

1318
01:02:40,560 --> 01:02:42,040
Speaker 3: for it. That's problematic.

1319
01:02:42,520 --> 01:02:44,840
Speaker 2: Now. I don't know if you've been on any teams

1320
01:02:44,840 --> 01:02:46,760
Speaker 2: that have been oh to tow at on and two start?

1321
01:02:46,800 --> 01:02:47,080
Speaker 7: Have you?

1322
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:49,800
Speaker 2: Uh?

1323
01:02:50,200 --> 01:02:53,760
Speaker 3: No? I mean, oh to two is such a tough thing, man,

1324
01:02:53,800 --> 01:02:56,760
Speaker 3: It's just such a tough way to start. You know,

1325
01:02:56,840 --> 01:02:59,440
Speaker 3: no doubt, you lose all other stuff.

1326
01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:01,480
Speaker 2: You know, you want to get that first win. And

1327
01:03:01,520 --> 01:03:04,080
Speaker 2: I think that this is the time of the season

1328
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,000
Speaker 2: when you're on two your butt starts to get real tight.

1329
01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,959
Speaker 2: For coaches as well, it's like, you know, we gotta

1330
01:03:10,160 --> 01:03:12,520
Speaker 2: break it. We've got to break our virginity right now

1331
01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:14,240
Speaker 2: and get it done. We got to get our first win.

1332
01:03:14,520 --> 01:03:16,240
Speaker 2: And there's pressure and like all of a sudden, the

1333
01:03:16,280 --> 01:03:19,280
Speaker 2: finger pointing starts. I think this is where coaches really

1334
01:03:19,320 --> 01:03:21,800
Speaker 2: earn their keep because you could really lose the locker

1335
01:03:21,840 --> 01:03:23,920
Speaker 2: room right now, I believe, don't you think.

1336
01:03:23,880 --> 01:03:26,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you can. And you got to do a

1337
01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:27,880
Speaker 3: really good job of kind of staying true to who

1338
01:03:27,880 --> 01:03:31,400
Speaker 3: you are and not losing sight of the plan and

1339
01:03:31,560 --> 01:03:34,960
Speaker 3: understanding all that other stuff, and just just really staying

1340
01:03:35,080 --> 01:03:37,640
Speaker 3: with it, staying with your playing, staying with your process.

1341
01:03:37,920 --> 01:03:40,040
Speaker 3: You gotta believe in you gotta believe in what you've

1342
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:43,720
Speaker 3: planned out, and then you gotta adapt and adjust accordingly.

1343
01:03:43,800 --> 01:03:45,360
Speaker 3: But you can't just abandon after two.

1344
01:03:45,320 --> 01:03:48,000
Speaker 2: Games, no doubt about that. You can't quit. You gotta

1345
01:03:48,040 --> 01:03:50,000
Speaker 2: keep on rolling. But it's gonna be tough for some

1346
01:03:50,080 --> 01:03:53,560
Speaker 2: teams because now it's time for the understudies, and today

1347
01:03:53,600 --> 01:03:56,320
Speaker 2: there's gonna be five. That's unbelievable. And for the uninformed

1348
01:03:56,520 --> 01:03:59,160
Speaker 2: and understudy in theater is to back up to the

1349
01:03:59,200 --> 01:04:01,280
Speaker 2: star star is sick or he's not going to be

1350
01:04:01,320 --> 01:04:04,240
Speaker 2: performing that night on stage. So they got understudies and

1351
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,080
Speaker 2: there's five of them going today and one of them

1352
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:08,680
Speaker 2: is Jake Browning who is four and three as a starter,

1353
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:11,280
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow expected to miss three months. He was placed

1354
01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:14,080
Speaker 2: on injured reserve on Monday. And after the operation, I

1355
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,560
Speaker 2: think it was in Georgia, Zach Taylor came out and

1356
01:04:17,560 --> 01:04:20,720
Speaker 2: said the operation was a success. And all my years

1357
01:04:21,080 --> 01:04:24,720
Speaker 2: following sports, watching sports, listening to sports, I have never

1358
01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:28,120
Speaker 2: heard of a coach or any official of any team

1359
01:04:28,440 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 2: after an injured player and it gets operated saying I

1360
01:04:31,760 --> 01:04:34,520
Speaker 2: got news for you guys. The operation wasn't a success.

1361
01:04:35,280 --> 01:04:37,680
Speaker 2: I've never heard that. It's always a success, right. It

1362
01:04:37,720 --> 01:04:40,200
Speaker 2: won't be a success in my mind until I see

1363
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:42,480
Speaker 2: Joe Burrow on the field playing football again, then it's

1364
01:04:42,480 --> 01:04:44,480
Speaker 2: a success, right, Not a success?

1365
01:04:44,520 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 3: After the operation, well, I mean if they said he

1366
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 3: went through without complications, I guess there would be a

1367
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:52,920
Speaker 3: success but yeah, like I mean, you've rather them say

1368
01:04:52,920 --> 01:04:55,360
Speaker 3: it was successful and unsuccessful because they means they're gonna

1369
01:04:55,360 --> 01:04:59,680
Speaker 3: have to operate again. Right, Yeah, it's not it's not ideal,

1370
01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,240
Speaker 3: you know, in terms of trying to figure out that

1371
01:05:03,720 --> 01:05:06,080
Speaker 3: you know, what he's gonna be, when is he gonna

1372
01:05:06,080 --> 01:05:07,880
Speaker 3: be able to come back, how he's gonna be able

1373
01:05:07,880 --> 01:05:09,919
Speaker 3: to perform when he does come back, all of those

1374
01:05:09,960 --> 01:05:10,520
Speaker 3: other things.

1375
01:05:10,600 --> 01:05:13,600
Speaker 2: So well, I would say this, this is a great

1376
01:05:13,600 --> 01:05:16,640
Speaker 2: opportunity for Jake Browning because I think there's big money

1377
01:05:16,640 --> 01:05:18,200
Speaker 2: at the end of the rainbow if he could get

1378
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:20,640
Speaker 2: this team into the playoffs. Because I'm not thinking that's

1379
01:05:20,680 --> 01:05:22,320
Speaker 2: why he wants to play. I think he wants to win.

1380
01:05:22,360 --> 01:05:24,360
Speaker 2: I think the team has confidence in this guy. He

1381
01:05:24,440 --> 01:05:27,200
Speaker 2: knows the system. He's been there, done that before. But look,

1382
01:05:27,360 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 2: I think he's got to go in the center. They

1383
01:05:29,400 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 2: say that Joe Burrow his situation is that he likes

1384
01:05:32,200 --> 01:05:34,760
Speaker 2: to take it from a shotgun because he likes to

1385
01:05:34,760 --> 01:05:37,040
Speaker 2: see the entire defense setting up. And when you do that,

1386
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,320
Speaker 2: you know, it's a little more difficult for the offensive

1387
01:05:40,360 --> 01:05:42,520
Speaker 2: line just to hold him. And they didn't hold him,

1388
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:45,000
Speaker 2: and Job ended up with the turf toe deal. So

1389
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,640
Speaker 2: so now you're gonna see Jake Browning not from the gun,

1390
01:05:47,840 --> 01:05:50,400
Speaker 2: but under center. So we'll see what happens.

1391
01:05:51,400 --> 01:05:54,640
Speaker 3: Well, well, here's what happens when it comes from under center.

1392
01:05:54,760 --> 01:05:57,680
Speaker 3: Under center to play action is better because the quarterback

1393
01:05:57,720 --> 01:05:59,800
Speaker 3: turns his back to the defense. It also allows you

1394
01:05:59,800 --> 01:06:02,520
Speaker 3: to set up different compliments with the running game and

1395
01:06:02,600 --> 01:06:05,120
Speaker 3: those things. So what may look like a negative on

1396
01:06:05,160 --> 01:06:08,000
Speaker 3: the surface good turn out to be a positive when

1397
01:06:08,040 --> 01:06:09,600
Speaker 3: they get into it.

1398
01:06:10,440 --> 01:06:12,200
Speaker 2: All right, what do you think though, you think it's

1399
01:06:12,240 --> 01:06:14,440
Speaker 2: your shot for the playoffs for this team with Jake.

1400
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:18,280
Speaker 3: Browning, Well, I mean I suggested when you start out

1401
01:06:18,280 --> 01:06:20,560
Speaker 3: two and oh, you have a seventy six percent chance

1402
01:06:20,560 --> 01:06:22,960
Speaker 3: of making the playoffs. So yeah, they got more than

1403
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:25,120
Speaker 3: the shot. They got to hold on. And I'll say

1404
01:06:25,160 --> 01:06:27,440
Speaker 3: this a couple of years ago, Jake Browning had them

1405
01:06:27,440 --> 01:06:30,160
Speaker 3: on the cups of being in the postseason. I remember

1406
01:06:30,200 --> 01:06:32,680
Speaker 3: two years ago that because the Jaguars were eight and three,

1407
01:06:32,720 --> 01:06:34,840
Speaker 3: they come down on a Monday night, Jake Browning starts,

1408
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,640
Speaker 3: knocks the Jaguars off, and they fall apart for the

1409
01:06:37,680 --> 01:06:41,160
Speaker 3: next two seasons. Meanwhile, the Big Gules climb into contention

1410
01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:43,040
Speaker 3: and they don't make it, but they finished nine and eight.

1411
01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,680
Speaker 3: There's a lot of confidence in that building in him

1412
01:06:47,320 --> 01:06:50,120
Speaker 3: and look man that that just gives them a chance.

1413
01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:52,600
Speaker 3: He's a solid put player.

1414
01:06:52,840 --> 01:06:55,360
Speaker 2: Be tough during Denver next week and the following week

1415
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:57,880
Speaker 2: they hosted Detroit Lions, so we'll see what happens there.

1416
01:06:58,040 --> 01:07:00,760
Speaker 2: Let's move along to another understudy. His name is Carson Wentz,

1417
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:04,200
Speaker 2: who knows the system of Minnesota. JJ McCarthy's return date,

1418
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:06,960
Speaker 2: they say, is unknown, but he's not expected to be

1419
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,800
Speaker 2: out as long as borrow. He'll be out for a

1420
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:12,320
Speaker 2: couple of weeks. Believe it or not. They played at

1421
01:07:12,320 --> 01:07:15,160
Speaker 2: Bengals Day they host. The Vikings host the Bengals this afternoon.

1422
01:07:15,720 --> 01:07:19,400
Speaker 2: The Vikings star Wentz. This week McCarthy had that high

1423
01:07:19,400 --> 01:07:22,439
Speaker 2: ankle sprain and Wentz it's been around the league since

1424
01:07:22,480 --> 01:07:27,520
Speaker 2: twenty twenty. He's played in Philadelphia, Indianapolis, Washington, LA with

1425
01:07:27,600 --> 01:07:30,600
Speaker 2: the Rams, and Kansas City, so we'll see what happens there.

1426
01:07:30,680 --> 01:07:34,479
Speaker 2: But way back when he was a number two pick

1427
01:07:34,560 --> 01:07:36,920
Speaker 2: back in twenty twenty one, he did throw for over

1428
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:39,760
Speaker 2: thirty five hundred yards and twenty seven touchdowns. Does the

1429
01:07:39,840 --> 01:07:42,760
Speaker 2: magic still come back? Can he get it done? Does Carson.

1430
01:07:42,920 --> 01:07:44,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I think they may be better off for

1431
01:07:44,520 --> 01:07:46,840
Speaker 2: Carson Wentz right now than JJ McCarthy anyway.

1432
01:07:47,920 --> 01:07:52,720
Speaker 3: No, absolutely not. I'm not buying yet at all. What

1433
01:07:52,760 --> 01:07:56,360
Speaker 3: I would say is Carson Wentz can maybe win a

1434
01:07:56,400 --> 01:07:58,840
Speaker 3: game or two with them, just based on his experience

1435
01:07:59,040 --> 01:08:03,040
Speaker 3: in Kevin O'Connell's expertise. But yeah, in no world would

1436
01:08:03,080 --> 01:08:05,240
Speaker 3: I say that Carson Wentz is a better option than J. J.

1437
01:08:05,400 --> 01:08:08,280
Speaker 3: McCarthy for the Vikings right now. That's it. The Vikings

1438
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:11,240
Speaker 3: have enough players around Carson Wentz that he should be

1439
01:08:11,280 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 3: able to kind of guide his team to the winner circle.

1440
01:08:14,640 --> 01:08:16,840
Speaker 3: He just has to stay within himself, and I think

1441
01:08:16,920 --> 01:08:18,920
Speaker 3: Kevin O'Connor has to understand what he's dealing with. He

1442
01:08:18,960 --> 01:08:20,840
Speaker 3: has a guy who is a little bit of a

1443
01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:24,479
Speaker 3: scattershot thrower. He's not gonna be Look, you have to know,

1444
01:08:24,520 --> 01:08:27,640
Speaker 3: he's gonna throw some ground balls and some floaters and

1445
01:08:27,800 --> 01:08:31,200
Speaker 3: they canna be off to mark, but they will be

1446
01:08:31,240 --> 01:08:33,680
Speaker 3: able to get back on track in time. If they

1447
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:36,000
Speaker 3: just kind of lean on their best players, they have

1448
01:08:36,000 --> 01:08:37,439
Speaker 3: an opportunity to get back on track.

1449
01:08:37,720 --> 01:08:41,760
Speaker 2: All right now. Another understudy in New York with the Jets,

1450
01:08:41,840 --> 01:08:46,160
Speaker 2: Tarrod Taylor's a Tyrod Taylor and Justin feels out. They

1451
01:08:46,160 --> 01:08:48,439
Speaker 2: don't know what his timeline is, but he's gonna miss

1452
01:08:48,520 --> 01:08:50,920
Speaker 2: at least they say one game. But it won't be

1453
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:52,800
Speaker 2: much of a change because I think the offense right

1454
01:08:52,840 --> 01:08:55,560
Speaker 2: there is a running offense, and both of these quarterbacks

1455
01:08:55,760 --> 01:09:00,280
Speaker 2: have that running skill. It's a mobile quarterback, just like

1456
01:09:00,479 --> 01:09:02,960
Speaker 2: Justin fields is. So I think things will still say

1457
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:05,040
Speaker 2: the same, which really isn't good news for the Jets

1458
01:09:05,040 --> 01:09:06,120
Speaker 2: because I don't think they're gonna win.

1459
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:11,840
Speaker 3: Wow, all right, I mean not a lot of confidence

1460
01:09:11,920 --> 01:09:14,000
Speaker 3: in there. Not a lot of confidence. Not a lot

1461
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:14,600
Speaker 3: of confidence.

1462
01:09:15,160 --> 01:09:19,840
Speaker 2: No, do you agree they played the Bucks today? They're

1463
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:20,639
Speaker 2: not gonna beat the Bucks.

1464
01:09:21,439 --> 01:09:23,800
Speaker 3: No, I'm all on the Bucks. I'm all on the Bucks.

1465
01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:25,200
Speaker 3: They got him in the top tier, so I need

1466
01:09:25,200 --> 01:09:26,080
Speaker 3: the Bucks to continue to win.

1467
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:29,280
Speaker 2: Ye Bucks beating Now. Next week they gonna name this

1468
01:09:29,360 --> 01:09:31,400
Speaker 2: a bowl game. It's going to be called the toilet Bowl.

1469
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 2: They're sponsored by Santa Flush. Is the Jets playing at

1470
01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:37,080
Speaker 2: the Dolphins. That should be the toilet Bowl really next week,

1471
01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:42,800
Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens then. The toilet Bowl there,

1472
01:09:43,280 --> 01:09:47,200
Speaker 2: all right? Understudy number four San Francisco forty nine is

1473
01:09:47,200 --> 01:09:51,080
Speaker 2: mac Jones has taking over and we'll see what happens there.

1474
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,680
Speaker 2: They got the Cardinals today. The forty nine is a

1475
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:57,480
Speaker 2: two and zero, and really I think they're somewhat surprised

1476
01:09:57,720 --> 01:10:00,240
Speaker 2: with the play of mac Jones leading at the two

1477
01:10:00,240 --> 01:10:02,000
Speaker 2: and oh right now, he's beat him over in New Orleans.

1478
01:10:02,040 --> 01:10:04,879
Speaker 2: But New Orleans is terrible, Bucky, you could have quarterback

1479
01:10:04,920 --> 01:10:07,280
Speaker 2: them last week against New Orleans a win. All right,

1480
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:09,040
Speaker 2: We'll see what happens there.

1481
01:10:09,840 --> 01:10:12,360
Speaker 3: Wow, man, no respect, no.

1482
01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:15,240
Speaker 2: Respect for him. I'm not a mac Jones fan. I

1483
01:10:15,320 --> 01:10:17,080
Speaker 2: think I think you'll see he'll allowed.

1484
01:10:17,960 --> 01:10:19,840
Speaker 3: Well, here's what I say. Haven't spent a year with

1485
01:10:19,880 --> 01:10:22,840
Speaker 3: mac Jones last year in Jacksonville. What's different is Kyle

1486
01:10:22,960 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 3: Shanahan has always had an eye on mac Jones, going

1487
01:10:27,560 --> 01:10:29,200
Speaker 3: all the way back to that draft when they drafted

1488
01:10:29,240 --> 01:10:31,800
Speaker 3: Trede Lance over mac Jones. There's some that will say

1489
01:10:31,800 --> 01:10:35,439
Speaker 3: that Kyle Shanahan preferred mac Jones to be the quarterback

1490
01:10:35,439 --> 01:10:38,000
Speaker 3: and to be the pick at that slot. Now they're

1491
01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,320
Speaker 3: together and whatever it is that Kyle Shanahan saw in

1492
01:10:41,360 --> 01:10:43,560
Speaker 3: mac Jones that led him to favor him in the

1493
01:10:43,640 --> 01:10:46,880
Speaker 3: draft process, he now can play with that you know

1494
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:48,880
Speaker 3: he can. He can work on those skills, he can

1495
01:10:48,920 --> 01:10:52,160
Speaker 3: figure out how to call plays to accentuate those skills

1496
01:10:52,240 --> 01:10:56,320
Speaker 3: and minimize his deficiencies and went and mac Jones has

1497
01:10:56,360 --> 01:10:59,479
Speaker 3: been successful, so he has more confidence. And the more

1498
01:10:59,479 --> 01:11:02,200
Speaker 3: confidence that the player has, the more confidence the coach

1499
01:11:02,240 --> 01:11:04,599
Speaker 3: will have in the player. This could be a good

1500
01:11:04,600 --> 01:11:06,759
Speaker 3: thing for the nine. It's not only in the short term,

1501
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,360
Speaker 3: but in the long term. Knowing that mac Jones and

1502
01:11:10,439 --> 01:11:13,519
Speaker 3: Kyle Shanahan can work together, they can win together, and

1503
01:11:13,560 --> 01:11:17,879
Speaker 3: that is a solid solution to having a backup quarterback

1504
01:11:17,920 --> 01:11:19,439
Speaker 3: behind Rock Purty.

1505
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:23,479
Speaker 2: Okay, we may be saving the best understudy for last

1506
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,280
Speaker 2: the fifth one because I remember when Brianna, our executive producer,

1507
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 2: asked you and asked Bucky who she thought might be

1508
01:11:30,400 --> 01:11:36,479
Speaker 2: the best understudy backup today, and you did say Marcus Mariota, right,

1509
01:11:36,600 --> 01:11:39,360
Speaker 2: And so I guess that's gonna be. So Jason Jayden

1510
01:11:39,439 --> 01:11:42,000
Speaker 2: Daniels right now, his timeline is unknown right now, but

1511
01:11:42,200 --> 01:11:44,880
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens. They're playing the Raiders today, so

1512
01:11:44,880 --> 01:11:47,519
Speaker 2: we'll see what happens there. But Marcus Mariota, they were

1513
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:50,040
Speaker 2: signing the off season and they signed this guy just

1514
01:11:50,080 --> 01:11:51,720
Speaker 2: for these moments right now, so we'll see what he

1515
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:52,120
Speaker 2: could do.

1516
01:11:53,720 --> 01:11:58,599
Speaker 3: Look, man, it is about being able to manage the team.

1517
01:11:58,600 --> 01:12:00,720
Speaker 3: When you're the backup quarterback, you don't need to be

1518
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,120
Speaker 3: the playmaker. You just need to be able to operate

1519
01:12:03,320 --> 01:12:07,639
Speaker 3: the offense efficiently. Minimize the turnovers and mistakes. Make sure

1520
01:12:07,640 --> 01:12:10,280
Speaker 3: we get in the right play, make sure we're always

1521
01:12:10,600 --> 01:12:13,600
Speaker 3: on schedule, and when they're the plays that you know

1522
01:12:13,680 --> 01:12:15,880
Speaker 3: the defense is won. Take care of the ball, throw

1523
01:12:15,920 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 3: it away or whatever. Make sure we punt, don't mess

1524
01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:22,720
Speaker 3: it up. Would be kind of the mode modus operanda

1525
01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:26,000
Speaker 3: if I had to tell Marcus Murriota how to approach this. Hey, man,

1526
01:12:26,080 --> 01:12:28,040
Speaker 3: you just don't feel like you have to make the plays.

1527
01:12:28,040 --> 01:12:30,880
Speaker 3: Don't mess it up. We're good enough around you to

1528
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,599
Speaker 3: win it. Don't feel like you need to be a hero.

1529
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,960
Speaker 2: You know I run this vibe because you played in

1530
01:12:36,000 --> 01:12:38,240
Speaker 2: the league, you played the game, You've been around athletes.

1531
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,840
Speaker 2: You know that. I think there's just two types of

1532
01:12:40,920 --> 01:12:44,920
Speaker 2: backup quarterbacks, one who vies to be the number one,

1533
01:12:45,560 --> 01:12:50,280
Speaker 2: and another backup quarterback type could be I know my place,

1534
01:12:50,520 --> 01:12:52,760
Speaker 2: I'm happy, I'm here. I want to serve, if I

1535
01:12:52,760 --> 01:12:55,280
Speaker 2: want to help, if needed and I think that maybe

1536
01:12:55,360 --> 01:12:58,960
Speaker 2: Marcus Mariota has become one of those guys says, look,

1537
01:12:59,760 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 2: I have the temperament to be number two. I'm not

1538
01:13:02,120 --> 01:13:03,920
Speaker 2: a number one guy. Is that possible?

1539
01:13:05,680 --> 01:13:07,960
Speaker 3: I mean everybody feels like they're number one. I think

1540
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:10,760
Speaker 3: as you get older, though, you recognize your role and

1541
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:12,960
Speaker 3: your responsibility. Do you love the game enough to be

1542
01:13:13,080 --> 01:13:16,880
Speaker 3: okay in that role? Knowing how valuable the QB two is,

1543
01:13:17,040 --> 01:13:19,760
Speaker 3: Maybe he's settled into that. You know a lot of

1544
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,640
Speaker 3: it though, is who you're around, how the organization treats you,

1545
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:25,599
Speaker 3: how to coach and staff treat you in those things.

1546
01:13:25,600 --> 01:13:27,920
Speaker 3: Is still a joy to go to work? Maybe he

1547
01:13:27,960 --> 01:13:31,880
Speaker 3: does understand there's value for me being the backup quarterback

1548
01:13:32,560 --> 01:13:34,559
Speaker 3: in this situation because I couldn't get a chance to play,

1549
01:13:34,600 --> 01:13:35,679
Speaker 3: and if I play, I'm gonna play.

1550
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:38,519
Speaker 2: Well, here you go, by the way, Can we get

1551
01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,240
Speaker 2: a little more sweet Georgia Brown? I want to hear

1552
01:13:40,240 --> 01:13:42,040
Speaker 2: it again? Can we do that? I just want to

1553
01:13:42,040 --> 01:13:44,599
Speaker 2: hear it one more time? Thank you. But this isn't

1554
01:13:44,680 --> 01:13:46,559
Speaker 2: just a game. It really isn't. It's a once in

Speaker 1: It's all your fault. No, it's your fault.

1588
01:15:20,800 --> 01:15:21,920
Speaker 2: It is all your fault.

1589
01:15:24,040 --> 01:15:24,360
Speaker 3: Fault.

1590
01:15:25,439 --> 01:15:29,920
Speaker 1: Maybe it's everyone's fault. A liar, that's why there's the

1591
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:32,840
Speaker 1: blame game game. Let's figure out who to blame.

1592
01:15:33,680 --> 01:15:36,240
Speaker 2: You're a liar, Oh, Brianna, are you ready? Can you

1593
01:15:36,240 --> 01:15:37,320
Speaker 2: give us one? Brianna?

1594
01:15:37,840 --> 01:15:41,280
Speaker 9: Yes I can. Okay, I'm gonna start with you, Bucky.

1595
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,760
Speaker 9: The Dolphins are now one in fourteen after their Thursday.

1596
01:15:44,360 --> 01:15:46,960
Speaker 8: Night loss to the Bills in Buffalo. Who do you blame?

1597
01:15:48,760 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: Look, man, the Dolphins, I blame their culture, the environment.

1598
01:15:51,280 --> 01:15:53,479
Speaker 3: They can't get it done against the Bills. They really

1599
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:56,960
Speaker 3: haven't got it done of late. They just don't operate

1600
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:59,040
Speaker 3: the way that you need to to be a successful

1601
01:15:59,240 --> 01:16:01,720
Speaker 3: team over lot, and that's where we're seeing play out

1602
01:16:01,720 --> 01:16:02,160
Speaker 3: on the field.

1603
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,360
Speaker 2: Booking, you're too kind. I'm blaming this geek of a coach,

1604
01:16:06,439 --> 01:16:09,679
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel. I mean, I'm thinking these players are laughing

1605
01:16:09,680 --> 01:16:12,720
Speaker 2: at this guy. Thank you. Players are laughing at this

1606
01:16:12,760 --> 01:16:15,000
Speaker 2: guy right behind his back in the locker room. This

1607
01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,080
Speaker 2: guy should be teaching chemistry in the college level. He

1608
01:16:18,080 --> 01:16:21,160
Speaker 2: should be coaching football. Really, and do you ever hear

1609
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:24,040
Speaker 2: him talk? I mean, you think I'm bad this guy is.

1610
01:16:24,160 --> 01:16:27,479
Speaker 2: He can't put the sents together. Really, Mike McDaniel on

1611
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:30,920
Speaker 2: the sidelines, you talk about a geek, a geek from

1612
01:16:31,160 --> 01:16:34,240
Speaker 2: day one. How did he get the job. It's Mike

1613
01:16:34,320 --> 01:16:37,720
Speaker 2: McDaniel's fault. He's out, Believe me, He's lucky that they

1614
01:16:37,760 --> 01:16:39,960
Speaker 2: were out close against Buffalo. I think he would have

1615
01:16:39,960 --> 01:16:43,000
Speaker 2: been gone after that game if they got blown out already.

1616
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:45,479
Speaker 8: Joe Burrow is out with stage three turf toe for

1617
01:16:45,520 --> 01:16:47,799
Speaker 8: at least three months. Who do you blame, Andy?

1618
01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:51,400
Speaker 2: I blame the Bengals organization was, You've got a franchise guy.

1619
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:55,360
Speaker 2: He's your team. He's your guy. He's everything your team is.

1620
01:16:55,400 --> 01:16:58,639
Speaker 2: He's gold, that's what he is. You got to protect them.

1621
01:16:58,840 --> 01:17:01,120
Speaker 2: Spend the money if you had to build a freaking

1622
01:17:01,200 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 2: wall around the guy. I don't care. Spend the money

1623
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,920
Speaker 2: to protect them. On that offensive line, he's still cleaning

1624
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:09,439
Speaker 2: the grass office jersey from last week. He really and

1625
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:13,519
Speaker 2: buck you saw that last week. It's unbelievable. Protect them,

1626
01:17:13,800 --> 01:17:16,280
Speaker 2: Protect Joe. I feel sorry for him. You know what.

1627
01:17:16,400 --> 01:17:19,599
Speaker 2: He wears number nine and Carson Palmer won number nine.

1628
01:17:19,760 --> 01:17:22,040
Speaker 2: He's gonna pull a Carson Palm. He's going to say

1629
01:17:22,080 --> 01:17:24,639
Speaker 2: the hell with this, I'm leaving, get me out of here.

1630
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,639
Speaker 2: I hope not, but I see it coming.

1631
01:17:27,680 --> 01:17:29,720
Speaker 3: Nah, I don't think that's gonna happen. I blame the

1632
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:32,040
Speaker 3: offensive line. They just haven't done a good enough job

1633
01:17:32,040 --> 01:17:34,040
Speaker 3: of upgrading the offensive line. That's why number nine keeps

1634
01:17:34,040 --> 01:17:34,680
Speaker 3: getting beat up.

1635
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:39,720
Speaker 9: Alrighty Clayton Kershaw announced his retirement the other day. The

1636
01:17:39,720 --> 01:17:44,400
Speaker 9: three National League Cy Young Award winner, MVP, eleven time

1637
01:17:44,479 --> 01:17:47,519
Speaker 9: All Star, two hundred and twenty two regular season victories

1638
01:17:47,520 --> 01:17:49,839
Speaker 9: over in each in year career, he.

1639
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:52,200
Speaker 8: Had a two point four ERA, the.

1640
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:55,800
Speaker 9: Second lowest among pitchers with at least fifteen hundred innings

1641
01:17:55,840 --> 01:17:59,800
Speaker 9: since nineteen twenty, and then the lowest RA in postseason

1642
01:18:00,120 --> 01:18:01,719
Speaker 9: about five years.

1643
01:18:02,080 --> 01:18:03,679
Speaker 8: And is that with that? Says Andy, I'm not sure

1644
01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:04,960
Speaker 8: who do you blame? Andy?

1645
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:07,439
Speaker 2: I blamed the media because I always look at for

1646
01:18:07,520 --> 01:18:10,559
Speaker 2: something wrong with somebody. You know. The only problem I

1647
01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,360
Speaker 2: had with Clayton Kershaw is the fact that people were

1648
01:18:13,400 --> 01:18:17,240
Speaker 2: saying or comparing him to Sandy Colfax. Don't Sandy Colfax

1649
01:18:17,320 --> 01:18:19,960
Speaker 2: is God. Clayton kersher is great, but he ain't No

1650
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:24,080
Speaker 2: Sandy Colfax, believe me. But Clayton Kersherw is tremendous. And

1651
01:18:24,120 --> 01:18:26,439
Speaker 2: we talked about this lit earlier today. Yeah, he had

1652
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:28,800
Speaker 2: some problems in the postseason. Why you don't think his

1653
01:18:28,920 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 2: arm is tired after one hundred and sixty two game season.

1654
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:34,559
Speaker 2: So the media is always looking at the pick pick pick,

1655
01:18:34,760 --> 01:18:37,240
Speaker 2: And maybe that's a problem, you know why, because maybe

1656
01:18:37,280 --> 01:18:39,960
Speaker 2: they never played the game. Buck, I've never said that before.

1657
01:18:40,080 --> 01:18:42,160
Speaker 2: You know, if you never played the game, you don't realize.

1658
01:18:42,200 --> 01:18:43,960
Speaker 2: I've been pretty close to the game because I work

1659
01:18:44,000 --> 01:18:46,120
Speaker 2: with teams. Most of these other fools are just sit

1660
01:18:46,200 --> 01:18:49,800
Speaker 2: around gonna press boxes, eat the free food, and criticize,

1661
01:18:49,800 --> 01:18:52,640
Speaker 2: and that's all they do. They're negative guys, that's what

1662
01:18:52,680 --> 01:18:53,120
Speaker 2: they are.

1663
01:18:54,720 --> 01:18:57,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would say this. I think clayt Kersher gets

1664
01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:59,200
Speaker 3: a bad rep. He hasn't performed in the postseason, but

1665
01:18:59,680 --> 01:19:02,800
Speaker 3: he's so well for so long that look, give him

1666
01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,879
Speaker 3: a little grace. He is an all timer. I'm excited

1667
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,920
Speaker 3: for him to conclude his career, but I'm more excited

1668
01:19:08,920 --> 01:19:10,679
Speaker 3: to see what the Dodges win the postseason this year.

1669
01:19:11,360 --> 01:19:13,519
Speaker 2: He's the first ballot Hall of Fame, but no doubt

1670
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:14,320
Speaker 2: in my mind.

1671
01:19:14,960 --> 01:19:17,720
Speaker 9: Okay, so kickers made five kicks longer than fifty five

1672
01:19:17,800 --> 01:19:20,120
Speaker 9: yards in each of the two weeks of the NFL season.

1673
01:19:20,160 --> 01:19:22,479
Speaker 8: Are the football's juiced? Who do you blame?

1674
01:19:22,560 --> 01:19:28,200
Speaker 3: Bucky m Look, I think the training, maybe the balls.

1675
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:30,000
Speaker 3: We won't score him to go up, so I wouldn't

1676
01:19:30,040 --> 01:19:32,320
Speaker 3: doubt it. But yeah, like I just think we have

1677
01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,439
Speaker 3: better kickers in our league than we've ever had before,

1678
01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:36,760
Speaker 3: which is why we're seeing so many long distance kicks.

1679
01:19:37,560 --> 01:19:39,519
Speaker 2: I'm glad you say you wouldn't doubt if, because you

1680
01:19:39,520 --> 01:19:42,439
Speaker 2: know what, I think that the NFL is smart enough

1681
01:19:42,479 --> 01:19:45,479
Speaker 2: to realize that people love points, people love offense. Offense

1682
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:48,360
Speaker 2: sells tickets like home runs sell tickets in baseball. And

1683
01:19:48,400 --> 01:19:50,880
Speaker 2: the fact that the matter is these guys kicking fifty

1684
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:52,560
Speaker 2: five sixty yards. You got a guy on you. A

1685
01:19:52,600 --> 01:19:55,200
Speaker 2: team of Jacksonville in the preseason kicked to seventy other

1686
01:19:55,479 --> 01:19:57,640
Speaker 2: It's unbelievable. I mean, I want of the filling the

1687
01:19:57,640 --> 01:19:59,639
Speaker 2: footballs up with helium. And I mentioned this a couple

1688
01:19:59,680 --> 01:20:01,760
Speaker 2: of weeks. I think it's great. But you know what's

1689
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:04,280
Speaker 2: gonna happen. They're going to eventually shorten the field goal,

1690
01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:06,240
Speaker 2: but they're gonna do They're gonna get the field goal,

1691
01:20:06,479 --> 01:20:09,960
Speaker 2: you know, deal closer together and push it back further

1692
01:20:10,120 --> 01:20:13,240
Speaker 2: and there goes stats. That's mean nothing. So really and truly,

1693
01:20:13,280 --> 01:20:16,160
Speaker 2: I think there's something going on with football's being juiced.

1694
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:19,639
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. I believe it. I'm a conspiracist theory.

1695
01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:20,800
Speaker 2: How do you like that?

1696
01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,080
Speaker 3: I mean, I mean, I don't know. I don't know

1697
01:20:23,120 --> 01:20:24,720
Speaker 3: if they want to change. I think the scoring is

1698
01:20:24,760 --> 01:20:27,519
Speaker 3: good for football. When do we ever try to take

1699
01:20:27,560 --> 01:20:30,599
Speaker 3: points off the board? Now? It never happens, all.

1700
