Speaker 1: Thanks to Pete Futech for joining us a little while

10
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: ago bringing down everything in college football. We have a

11
00:00:34,120 --> 00:00:37,360
Speaker 1: huge college football story coming your way in about twenty minutes.

12
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:40,199
Speaker 1: Also big breaking story out of the NFL coming up

13
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:44,960
Speaker 1: in a few minutes. But part of our Football Friday

14
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 1: as it is every Friday night, we look at all

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: the big games in the NFL. And really, I mean

16
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 1: we previewed the Browns and the Raiders earlier in the

17
00:00:53,360 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: show because it's shador Sanders start. I mean, congratulations. We

18
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 1: may not do it again. It may be the only

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:01,600
Speaker 1: time we ever break down Brown's end or Raider game

20
00:01:02,120 --> 00:01:04,400
Speaker 1: the next couple of years. But we did it, and

21
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: we may do it again later on in the show.

22
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:09,640
Speaker 1: But Shadoro Sanders only gets one NFL start by Carbon,

23
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:10,560
Speaker 1: we gotta make the moment well.

24
00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:12,800
Speaker 2: But that's the thing, right For once we will be

25
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:17,319
Speaker 2: paying attention to two squads that really give us no

26
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,039
Speaker 2: reason to. I mean, we watched the Raiders on Monday

27
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,200
Speaker 2: Night Football because they were there and which gave us

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,360
Speaker 2: lots of content on Gino Smith in an appreciation moment

29
00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 2: for Max Crosby, but also reminding folks he chose to

30
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,760
Speaker 2: stay there. People, he took the money. I would too,

31
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:36,840
Speaker 2: but just don't feel bad for him. He made a choice.

32
00:01:37,319 --> 00:01:44,160
Speaker 2: As for Cleveland the other side, Miles Garrett great defense, disruptive, destructive,

33
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: he decided winning didn't really matter either because he accepted

34
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: a long term deal with the Cleveland Browns. I think

35
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:53,920
Speaker 2: we should just settle it by those two guys fighting

36
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:56,000
Speaker 2: at midfield and just be okay.

37
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: I'm with you there. I think I think that's pretty

38
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,120
Speaker 1: good and.

39
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 2: Gina can be the cornerman. But other than that, I

40
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,160
Speaker 2: got nothing.

41
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,559
Speaker 1: So don't worry if you miss any of that. Again,

42
00:02:07,640 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: our Best of Podcasts goes up right after the show

43
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,360
Speaker 1: is over. Wherever you get your podcast from, just search

44
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:14,840
Speaker 1: Jason Smith and Mike Harmon. We told you who's gonna

45
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 1: win that game? And how many big play Shador Sanders

46
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: is going to have against that Raider but in a row.

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:30,560
Speaker 1: But on Sunday, the first place team in the NFC North, Yeah,

48
00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:34,720
Speaker 1: facing another prove it game. And if I told you

49
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,119
Speaker 1: a year ago today, when I say first place team

50
00:02:37,160 --> 00:02:40,560
Speaker 1: in the NFC North, we'd be talking about the Chicago Bears.

51
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,760
Speaker 1: You'd have told me I'd be crazy. But I told

52
00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: you the era of good feeling was coming to Chicago, Mike.

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,280
Speaker 1: I told you was coming. I told you, and I

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 1: know you're you've been scarred by years of bareness. But

55
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: I told you it was coming. And look where we are.

56
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 1: Here we are, we're enging in on Thanksgiving and the

57
00:02:58,800 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 1: Bears are in first place.

58
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: I told you, winners of seven of their last eight.

59
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,800
Speaker 2: Are they pretty? No? Are they style point worthy?

60
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:07,519
Speaker 1: No?

61
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:10,239
Speaker 2: Is it reminiscent of the nineteen eighty three Chicago White

62
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:16,839
Speaker 2: Sox winning ugly a very nice slogan, yes, But dramatic comebacks,

63
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:21,760
Speaker 2: dramatic finishes, big plays by your second year quarterback, and

64
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 2: growth in terms of his decision making all for positivity.

65
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 2: Now this week they play with no linebackers. I think

66
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:33,160
Speaker 2: they've actually outlawed the position all starting linebackers are out

67
00:03:33,560 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 2: for this game against Pittsburgh. But you want to know

68
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 2: what get in is They're.

69
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Gonna run a seven four linemen and seven defensive backs.

70
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: That's what they're gonna run.

71
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Speaker 2: No, this is an interesting, uh interesting one, right. Not

72
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 2: often do you just say hey, who's in or out

73
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 2: for the lineback and go, no, they're all out. They're

74
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 2: they're all gonna miss this. They're all so everybody's missing,

75
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:55,720
Speaker 2: everybody's hurt, and they're already banged up in the secondary.

76
00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 2: So this gets a little bit curious. I mean it

77
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,600
Speaker 2: helps the fact that Aaron Rodgers can throw the ball

78
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 2: beyond about eight yards. By that, you know, one, one

79
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 2: thousand and two one thousand, the ball's got to be

80
00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 2: out of his hand kind of prospect. And they're gonna

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 2: be dodgy about this up until game time as best

82
00:04:11,400 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 2: they can. But certainly what we are paying attention to

83
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 2: is a team in the Steelers that's still very much

84
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 2: alive at six and four. Are you believing in a

85
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 2: long term No, it's like every Pittsburgh team we've seen

86
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,320
Speaker 2: since Ben Roethlisberger walked away, and they're gonna limp towards

87
00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:33,000
Speaker 2: a five hundred finish or or just above, and then

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:36,719
Speaker 2: we all celebrate Mike Tomlin for having them limp along

89
00:04:36,880 --> 00:04:41,800
Speaker 2: for the Bears. Yeah, it's it's been an uneven, uneasy ride,

90
00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: and depending on who you listen to, this guy's still falling.

91
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,000
Speaker 2: But you're seven and three. The rest of the division

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 2: has plenty of problems, and people are willing to pay

93
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,800
Speaker 2: up to four hundred and twenty three dollars for get in.

94
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 2: That's right, Pittsburgh. It's a nice easy drive from Chicago.

95
00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 2: You can make that drive and now here you are here,

96
00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:03,479
Speaker 2: you are, leave.

97
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: Early in the morning, get out there, you get out

98
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:05,920
Speaker 1: there for the game. You're all good.

99
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,000
Speaker 2: I mean they're saying, well, Aaron Rodgers as ownership shares,

100
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 2: so I mean, we're gonna get his best effort of

101
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 2: the year, aren't we.

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,839
Speaker 1: You like how he's backing away from that. The last

103
00:05:15,839 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: couple of days he said, no, no, I'm not with the

104
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: Packers anymore. This is all new. It's like, oh, now

105
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,440
Speaker 1: that I'm on a team that's not gonna protect me

106
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not as good. Yeah, I don't want to

107
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,240
Speaker 1: talk any smack and say I own you like I

108
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,640
Speaker 1: did in the past, not I'm not gonna do that anymore. Yeah,

109
00:05:28,640 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: I see through Aaron Rodgers game.

110
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 2: I see comp Here's the thing, though, the bulletin boards

111
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 2: are still fresh with all of that that ink of

112
00:05:38,080 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 2: the past. There's nothing that you're gonna say now and

113
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,160
Speaker 2: be all complimentary. I really like the cut of Canleb Williams,

114
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 2: Jim No. I love Ben Johnson. He's fun to watch

115
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 2: his offense. You could say all of that flowery language.

116
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,760
Speaker 2: It doesn't erase twenty years of history, man.

117
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,200
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what, It's not going to matter,

118
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: because the Bears are gonna win this game. Okay. The

119
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:04,640
Speaker 1: Bears feast on turnovers, right. Their defense is not great,

120
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,159
Speaker 1: but number one in turnovers in the NFL. And Aaron

121
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: Rodgers is dinged up already. Whether he plays, whether it's

122
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: Mason Rudolph, whether it's Bradshaw, whether it's Cliff Stout, the

123
00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:19,599
Speaker 1: Bears are gonna get turnovers. And quite honestly, look, you

124
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,440
Speaker 1: gotta stop hating on the Bears because the Bears are

125
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:25,359
Speaker 1: a good team. They've won games anyway possible. If the

126
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: Chiefs winning games like the Bears, you would say, oh,

127
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,240
Speaker 1: what a great job Patrick Mahomes is doing. Look at this,

128
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,919
Speaker 1: pulling out games at the end. This is what champions do.

129
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:35,839
Speaker 1: But the Bears do it and it's all they had

130
00:06:35,880 --> 00:06:37,600
Speaker 1: to rely on, pulling out a game at the end.

131
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 1: Now you make excuses who you want to make excuses for?

132
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:42,279
Speaker 1: The Bears have won a lot of games, They're in

133
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,719
Speaker 1: first place. Aaron Rodgers is hurt and ineffective, and you

134
00:06:45,760 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: can see this is where the downfall starts to Rodgers.

135
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,799
Speaker 1: If he plays on Sunday, the offense should have little

136
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:54,800
Speaker 1: trouble moving the football against the Steelers. Look, Jalen Warren

137
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,080
Speaker 1: just came back to practice. He was dinged up as well.

138
00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:00,640
Speaker 1: This is going to be a huge, huge game for

139
00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,839
Speaker 1: the Bears. They're gonna win. Continue to prove it and

140
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: continue to prove the doubters wrong. The only thing I

141
00:07:06,160 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: can say, here's the only thing that frustrates me about

142
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: the Bears, is that you know, the Bears have become

143
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,680
Speaker 1: like a like a lion's light or or a big

144
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: or or like the Chief's light in their heyday, where

145
00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:20,800
Speaker 1: you have no idea what weapon is going to have

146
00:07:20,840 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 1: the big day in fantas right, it could be Romandonsay,

147
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: it could be DJ Moore, Dj Moore could catch zero passes.

148
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:29,760
Speaker 1: It could be DeAndre Swet, it could be Colton lovel,

149
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: it could be none of them. Like it's so unpredictable

150
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,760
Speaker 1: every week who's gonna have a big week? But somebody does.

151
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,640
Speaker 1: Every week you go back and say, Wow, what a

152
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,520
Speaker 1: game for for the What a game for this play?

153
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: What a game for this player? What a game here?

154
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 1: What a game here? And the Bears offense is deep

155
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,720
Speaker 1: with good enough weapons they get to win on Sunday.

156
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,280
Speaker 2: I'd say it when you're talking about from the fantasy purpose,

157
00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean Roman Donsay has had a couple of big

158
00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 2: games that don't show up in the box score. Well

159
00:07:55,400 --> 00:08:01,280
Speaker 2: fantasy just ask us that's still salty until he actually

160
00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:04,600
Speaker 2: starts reading. And maybe you can see how people extole

161
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 2: the virtues of what his son's doing for other players.

162
00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 2: But that's deeper NFL stuff. And even that clip the

163
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,840
Speaker 2: Bears put up, it's like, hey, dad, and they're tapping

164
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:17,040
Speaker 2: on the glass. Watch this, Watch what your kid's doing.

165
00:08:17,280 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 2: But he's got four of his last six games where

166
00:08:19,720 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 2: he's been more or less a bystander in terms of

167
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:27,160
Speaker 2: targets and yardage. So tough to endorse from a fantasy

168
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 2: perspective there, Moning Guy has added some big games. He

169
00:08:31,360 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 2: and Swift. The run game has been immense up towards

170
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:37,920
Speaker 2: the top of the NFL at this point, a top

171
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 2: five as we sit here, ready for Week twelve. But

172
00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 2: it's a curious game. You know, we talk about the

173
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 2: plus sixteen turnover margin and that's leads all the NFL.

174
00:08:47,400 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 2: So I mean that that bodes well Pittsburgh sitting at

175
00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 2: plus eight and you know one thing, Aaron Rodgers isn't

176
00:08:53,760 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 2: gonna give give you too many opportunities that way, but

177
00:08:57,800 --> 00:08:59,960
Speaker 2: you're not stretching the field. You can you can shore

178
00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 2: and things up. I'm fearful of that middle of the

179
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:05,760
Speaker 2: defense being hurt that you can feast with friar mouth

180
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:08,680
Speaker 2: John Neus Smith and a little bit of gain well

181
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,280
Speaker 2: maybe out of the backfield. But all of that to say,

182
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: you know, sure handed Dackling, they're gonna have to settle

183
00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:17,480
Speaker 2: for threes. So Bear should win this game at home

184
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 2: and at your point with the Kansas City Chiefs is

185
00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:24,080
Speaker 2: apt right. Last year we had to talk about it, right.

186
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:26,880
Speaker 2: It was a year of living dangerously. Margin of victory

187
00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,320
Speaker 2: wasn't huge. We talked about it a little bit earlier

188
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,840
Speaker 2: with how they're losing this year. Five games and they've

189
00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,719
Speaker 2: lost by a total of twenty two points. Those were

190
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 2: all games they used to win and historically have won.

191
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 2: Pulling it out of the fire right now, that's what

192
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 2: the Bears are doing. And each week it gets a

193
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 2: little cleaner between Ben Johnson, the communication of what he

194
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 2: wants and what he gets from Caleb Williams. Now the

195
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 2: schedule on the back end gets pretty pretty brisk and

196
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,240
Speaker 2: pretty heavy. But for this week, big home spot against Pittsburgh. Yeah,

197
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 2: this is a very eminently winnable game.

198
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: Elsewhere, let's stay in division because we have Minnesota and

199
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:09,640
Speaker 1: Green Bay and now Minnesota has been in the ruor

200
00:10:09,679 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: mill all week that potentially this could be a destination

201
00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:16,480
Speaker 1: for Mac Jones next year. Look, we talked about mac

202
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,199
Speaker 1: Jones last. Mac Jones and Davis Mills are going to

203
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: be at the top of the list of Bridge quarterbacks

204
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:23,400
Speaker 1: for next year, right mac Jones hoping I can be

205
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:26,480
Speaker 1: the next Geno Smith, the next Sam Darnald, because I've

206
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:28,479
Speaker 1: shown that I can get it done in San Francisco.

207
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,320
Speaker 1: I have a pretty good track record this year. I

208
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 1: can be that next Bridge guy. I was a first

209
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:36,880
Speaker 1: round pick. I can be darnalded. I can be Geno Smith,

210
00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,520
Speaker 1: Davis Mills thinking the same thing a little bit shorter

211
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:41,640
Speaker 1: amount of time, and C J. Stroud coming back next

212
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 1: week most likely, but Davis Mills has been pretty good

213
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 1: and maybe, okay, maybe next year I could be one

214
00:10:46,120 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: of those guys, one of those guys in the quarterback

215
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:48,640
Speaker 1: of the Jets next year.

216
00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 2: I just know it.

217
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: But it's so embarrassing for Minnesota that that we're even

218
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:58,520
Speaker 1: talking about this, and it really shows you how inept

219
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,439
Speaker 1: they might be in decision because you went from here's

220
00:11:02,480 --> 00:11:04,800
Speaker 1: Sam Donald, who shows up right? And again, I keep

221
00:11:04,880 --> 00:11:09,280
Speaker 1: going back Pro Bowl quarterback. You tried for years to

222
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 1: find guys. And maybe because Minnesota had success with Kirk

223
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,280
Speaker 1: Cousins because they they bought him from the from Washington

224
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 1: and they paid. They gave eighty nine million dollars guaranteed

225
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: and that was the beginning of the full guarantees for quarterbacks,

226
00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: and they had pretty good quarterback play. So they think, yeah,

227
00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:26,199
Speaker 1: we've had good quarterback play. We're just just gonna continue

228
00:11:26,200 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: for us. So yeah, we can kick Sam Donald to

229
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: the curb because we love JJ McCarthy, whoa, WHOA whoa

230
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:35,040
Speaker 1: forty touchdowns are thirty five touchdowns four thousand yards? What

231
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: are you doing? You said, saying, okay, get and Sam

232
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,760
Speaker 1: Donald is shown. I'm still that guy. I'm in a

233
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: great syst now I turn the ball over a lot

234
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: because I'm Sam Donald. But still we're winning one of

235
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,559
Speaker 1: the best teams in the NFL and I got a

236
00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: hundred million dollar contract. You booted me to the curb.

237
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,520
Speaker 1: You booted Daniel Jones with the curb, who was having

238
00:11:51,600 --> 00:11:54,040
Speaker 1: a Pro Bowl season for the Colts, all because no, no, no,

239
00:11:54,320 --> 00:11:56,520
Speaker 1: we love a guy we have never seen play in

240
00:11:56,559 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: the NFL. And JJ McCarthy and now the fact that

241
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: you're seeing these rumors that hey, maybe they got to

242
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,560
Speaker 1: go get somebody else in case JJ McCarthy stinks. Everybody

243
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,120
Speaker 1: should be Everybody who was in on that JJ McCarthy

244
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:11,199
Speaker 1: decision should be fired. Everybody should be. I don't care

245
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:13,400
Speaker 1: what kind of coach you are. And look, they got

246
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: some great offensive minds here. O'Connell's a great coach. But man,

247
00:12:16,559 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: you decide to go all whoever was the let's stay

248
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:22,480
Speaker 1: all in on JJ McCarthy. If he doesn't come through, man,

249
00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,600
Speaker 1: that's coaching. Mal Pratt you let two guys who turned

250
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,440
Speaker 1: out to be Pro Bowl, all Pro type quarterbacks walk

251
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:30,560
Speaker 1: out of the building. Now, you didn't know about Daniel Jones,

252
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 1: so I understand that. But still, if you gave him

253
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: the chit, you think he wouldn't be throwing touchdowns at

254
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson every week. I'm pretty sure he would. Right,

255
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: he had the weapons in Indianapolis, he has a weapons

256
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 1: in Minnesota, I think he would have been. Okay, the

257
00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: one guy we know that hasn't done it so far

258
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,199
Speaker 1: has been McCarthy. And now you're gonna go play green

259
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:49,840
Speaker 1: Bay and a green Bay defense that is hungry, that

260
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:53,160
Speaker 1: is playing well, and while they're very difficult to predict

261
00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 1: each week, this is definitively an hour up week for

262
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: green Bay. They win this game and win it big,

263
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden, Minnesota looks even worse decision

264
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: making than they have in the past.

265
00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I'd love to be a fly on

266
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:11,800
Speaker 2: the wall of anything the wolf Will family Quasi Adopha

267
00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 2: Mensa and Kevin O'Connell, if they get together on a

268
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,440
Speaker 2: conference call to talk about the quarterback position. I want

269
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:22,160
Speaker 2: those tapes. Yeah, I mean, the curiosity going through even

270
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: if you were to just franchised Sam and you talk

271
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 2: about the turnovers right now, Seattle leads the NFL with

272
00:13:27,760 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 2: twenty giveaways on the year. But if you got halfway

273
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,959
Speaker 2: decent quarterback, you don't have to be good. I mean,

274
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 2: this is a six and a half point spread. There

275
00:13:36,920 --> 00:13:41,040
Speaker 2: is way too much talent on that Minnesota squad and

276
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:44,880
Speaker 2: the Packers offense has been two hit or miss for

277
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:48,240
Speaker 2: that point spread to be that big. That shows the

278
00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:53,280
Speaker 2: level of lack of respect, disrespect for what you're getting

279
00:13:53,320 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 2: out of JJ McCarthy right now. And it's only a

280
00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,840
Speaker 2: matter of time before all those high priced, high powered

281
00:13:58,920 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 2: offensive weapons are to chirp a little bit between Justin Jefferson,

282
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 2: Jordan Addison, Hockinson, go on down the line, because right

283
00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:13,200
Speaker 2: now they're just muttering and muddling through what is a

284
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 2: miserable experience because we see the misses right we watched it,

285
00:14:17,640 --> 00:14:19,640
Speaker 2: and I don't want to pick on Geno, I don't

286
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,600
Speaker 2: want to pick on the early part of Davis Mills

287
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,680
Speaker 2: from yesterday. I mean, you're missing guys by five yards.

288
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 2: That's what we're seeing with McCarthy with some regularity here,

289
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 2: And you didn't know what he would be after missing

290
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 2: a year of action because of the injury. So the

291
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,520
Speaker 2: fact that you didn't have yourself protected there. Yeah, you

292
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 2: tried to get by with Wentz a little bit, but

293
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 2: that you had those guys leave your locker room and

294
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 2: still putting up numbers, still getting stuff done. As you say,

295
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,160
Speaker 2: with Daniel Jones, you had no idea it would work

296
00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 2: quite so well. But O'Connell the Stikeen. We've been waiting.

297
00:14:54,960 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 2: Stikeen's been waiting on a quarterback for a decade. Isn't

298
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 2: that how long it was since Captain Andrew Luck rode

299
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 2: into the night? Oh skims like get at this point right,

300
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 2: it's several years and several failed veteran quarterbacks and an

301
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:12,120
Speaker 2: Anthony Richardson later that we're sitting here. But yeah, this

302
00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 2: is one with the Packers' defensive feast, you'll have some

303
00:15:14,760 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 2: more Emmanuel Wilson alongside, waiting on the last iteration of

304
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,800
Speaker 2: and acknowledgment of what Josh Jacobs is doing for the week.

305
00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,440
Speaker 2: But all of that, you've got a big spot here

306
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 2: divisional game that they need. Jordan Love hasn't been great,

307
00:15:30,480 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 2: won't need to be on Sunday.

308
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: Exit up about a Fresca exit, swallowing down The Jason

349
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:18,919
Speaker 1: biggest story in college football coming up in a few minutes,

350
00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: but this late breaking story on Friday Night, the forty

351
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,359
Speaker 1: nine ers been looking for a boost. You know they're getting.

352
00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 1: They got Brock Purdy back after a while trying to

353
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: stay afloat in the NFC West and you know, last

354
00:17:32,840 --> 00:17:35,600
Speaker 1: week we thought, hey, we could see the twenty one

355
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 1: day window for Brandon Ayuk open pretty soon. He's been

356
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:41,199
Speaker 1: out since the middle of last year with that really

357
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: bad right knee injury. He hasn't played yet, but hey,

358
00:17:45,240 --> 00:17:47,520
Speaker 1: maybe this is the time now when they can open

359
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:50,359
Speaker 1: up his window being on the pup list. Except the

360
00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:53,440
Speaker 1: window wasn't open. You're kind of wondering why, Like, Okay,

361
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,199
Speaker 1: this is about the time he should be getting back

362
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,919
Speaker 1: to playing. It's been a full year, he's been rehabbing

363
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: and getting ready. Now at the point where he is

364
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,359
Speaker 1: not going to play for the forty nine ers again.

365
00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:06,600
Speaker 1: I have no doubt in my mind after this story

366
00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:12,000
Speaker 1: today he has done playing for San Francisco. Brandon Ayuk's

367
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: money has been voided for twenty twenty six because he

368
00:18:15,520 --> 00:18:19,240
Speaker 1: had not been meeting the requirements of his deal, which

369
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:23,760
Speaker 1: means he was missing meetings, He was missing all sorts

370
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:27,240
Speaker 1: of thing times to spend with the team. He was

371
00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,040
Speaker 1: not been around. Communication with him has been really bad,

372
00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,680
Speaker 1: so they avoided his guaranteed money for twenty twenty six.

373
00:18:36,480 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: League source talks about this on Friday. This has been

374
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: in contract alteration which's been around for a little while.

375
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:46,600
Speaker 1: We're just getting word of this right now because apparently

376
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,560
Speaker 1: this was done in training camp. They avoided all the

377
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:52,000
Speaker 1: stuff eas twenty six because Brandon Ayuk wasn't coming to meetings,

378
00:18:52,040 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: wasn't around the team, There was no communication. Very frustrated

379
00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:58,080
Speaker 1: with the guy. So it's crazy that we didn't hear

380
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,719
Speaker 1: about this until now, but now we're getting it. I

381
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,439
Speaker 1: find it hard to believe that after voiding his money,

382
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:08,640
Speaker 1: especially seeing where he's sitting right now, he's gonna come

383
00:19:08,640 --> 00:19:11,560
Speaker 1: back and play this year after his devastating injury. If

384
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,359
Speaker 1: he's out of money for next year, the Niners are

385
00:19:14,359 --> 00:19:16,639
Speaker 1: done with him, right They're not voiding him this money

386
00:19:16,640 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: so they can resign him next year. He's not around.

387
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,679
Speaker 1: He is done in San Francisco, and Iyuk as someone

388
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,879
Speaker 1: who wasn't great the beginning of twenty twenty four, he

389
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,960
Speaker 1: was okay, wasn't the guy he was in twenty twenty

390
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,080
Speaker 1: three when he was a superstar. Then he signed a

391
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,359
Speaker 1: big contract and not the last guy and certainly not

392
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,639
Speaker 1: the first, not the last guy who all of a

393
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: sudden drove to the middle right because he wasn't great

394
00:19:37,920 --> 00:19:40,760
Speaker 1: the first seven weeks of last year. But he's still

395
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 1: that kind of talent, he's still terrific, but he's not

396
00:19:43,960 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 1: coming back. If you're Brandon Ayuk, you're not coming back

397
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 1: to say, well, if I come back here to risk

398
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,439
Speaker 1: myself when I have no future here, why would I

399
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:52,480
Speaker 1: do that? You're gonna let me go in the offseason.

400
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:54,640
Speaker 1: Why am I coming back right? I could potentially get

401
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:57,120
Speaker 1: hurt again. I'm just gonna sit out and I'll sign

402
00:19:57,160 --> 00:19:59,320
Speaker 1: with a new team next year. Maybe it's one of

403
00:19:59,320 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: those t year twenty five million dollar deals or something

404
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: like that where I get a certain amount of money

405
00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:07,480
Speaker 1: because of my talent, but I have to kind of

406
00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,399
Speaker 1: prove it. That's kind of what he's looking at. I mean,

407
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: I wouldn't come back if this is if it's that

408
00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:16,000
Speaker 1: bad and I'm not saying this this is all of

409
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,800
Speaker 1: a sudden San Francisco doing bad things. But like, if

410
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: you've voided his money and you're still wondering if he's

411
00:20:21,280 --> 00:20:23,880
Speaker 1: gonna come back, I'm not coming back. You're done, You're done,

412
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:25,520
Speaker 1: You're done with the guy. You're moving on at some

413
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:27,560
Speaker 1: point in the offseason. He's not gonna play for the

414
00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:30,280
Speaker 1: forty nine ers again. He'll be a sought after guy

415
00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: in free agency again, that kind of deal, kind of

416
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:36,920
Speaker 1: a two yearsh twenty twenty five. Maybe that's where he's

417
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:38,960
Speaker 1: gonna be at if he proves that he's healthy enough.

418
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:41,480
Speaker 1: Because boy, when he is healthy and he is motivated,

419
00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:43,760
Speaker 1: he is some kind of player. Man. You see some

420
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,440
Speaker 1: of the routes he runs where he's got defensive backs

421
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:48,479
Speaker 1: on skates. Mean, that's where he makes all his he

422
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: made all his money, he made all his bones being

423
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:53,080
Speaker 1: able to just separate from dbs within the first five

424
00:20:53,160 --> 00:20:54,879
Speaker 1: yards of the line of scrimmage. Like, he is that

425
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: kind of playmaker. And he'll be motivated, right, He'll be

426
00:20:58,040 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: motivated going into next season, saying, Hey, another big contract.

427
00:21:01,080 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 1: I'm still on the right side of thirty. So got

428
00:21:02,680 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 1: three years on the right side of thirty. So his

429
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:07,680
Speaker 1: next team it might work for. But yeah, I can't

430
00:21:07,680 --> 00:21:09,640
Speaker 1: see him ever taking the field for San Francisco.

431
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, a lot of incentive laden deals. If I'm shopping

432
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 2: in the wide receiver market and looking at Brandon Ayuk,

433
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 2: I mean go back, he's just remembering a lot of

434
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 2: the data right as this story broke and going back

435
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:27,000
Speaker 2: through the timeline, remember getting sent off because of the

436
00:21:27,040 --> 00:21:29,840
Speaker 2: wrong color shorts for a practice like they were like

437
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 2: these little mini the microaggressions. If we're gonna use some

438
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,200
Speaker 2: of the terms that we've had for the last couple

439
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:41,120
Speaker 2: of years, microaggressions in terms of media availability and being

440
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 2: around Leonard Hankerson is their receivers coach. You know that name,

441
00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:46,480
Speaker 2: he's thirty six.

442
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: I bet you people think Leonard Hankerson is still in

443
00:21:48,880 --> 00:21:51,720
Speaker 1: the NFL. Isn't he still playing for Washington?

444
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:55,360
Speaker 2: Like Kenny lofton Roman center field, He's still out there somewhere,

445
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 2: maybe in a cornfield in Iowa, but he's out there somewhere.

446
00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:01,880
Speaker 2: But like all of these things, it's just crazy when

447
00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,200
Speaker 2: when you start going through the data points, right, four years,

448
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:08,199
Speaker 2: one hundred and twenty million dollar deal almost traded to

449
00:22:08,359 --> 00:22:13,720
Speaker 2: multiple spots. Pittsburgh, New England were among those potentially wanting

450
00:22:13,800 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 2: to bring him on board, and even just in the

451
00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:20,120
Speaker 2: last week or so, you've had Shanahan addressing the yeah,

452
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:23,320
Speaker 2: we're looking to open up the practice window, like totally

453
00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,920
Speaker 2: ignoring that all of this happened according to the athletic

454
00:22:27,040 --> 00:22:30,480
Speaker 2: and training camp. Like that's the thing that blows my mind.

455
00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 2: We find out there's leaks for freaking everything in every

456
00:22:34,640 --> 00:22:38,400
Speaker 2: locker room, coaching staff, media buddy that they go out

457
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:41,280
Speaker 2: for a drink with on the road whatever. Eventually an

458
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:45,640
Speaker 2: anonymous source. We got no anonymous sources still today coming

459
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:48,240
Speaker 2: into week twelve. This is insane.

460
00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: But as you said, if he's not been around the team,

461
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: not going to meetings, how are you gonna know if

462
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:54,959
Speaker 1: he's not around. He's not around.

463
00:22:55,080 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 2: But that's but that's the crazy thing. Like some of

464
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:00,199
Speaker 2: the reports were that he had been at some of

465
00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:03,879
Speaker 2: the workouts and rehab and such, just hadn't been part

466
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:09,960
Speaker 2: of the media sessions and parts open to the media.

467
00:23:10,040 --> 00:23:14,040
Speaker 2: So some conflicting data points there in terms of what

468
00:23:14,200 --> 00:23:17,679
Speaker 2: he's actually bought into and how much he's been around

469
00:23:17,760 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 2: the squad. But all of that to say, you've had

470
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,280
Speaker 2: these public disagreements. He would have been a real shot

471
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,600
Speaker 2: in the arm for the last seven weeks, five weeks,

472
00:23:26,640 --> 00:23:29,240

521
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,080

525
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 5: so Jamis Winston will start again at Detroit. The Broncos

532
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,600
Speaker 1: Back to you, Thank you, Steve o. So in college

533
00:26:38,640 --> 00:26:41,920
Speaker 1: football tonight, we are starting to finally get a little

534
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:45,080
Speaker 1: bit of clarity with the Lane Kiffin coaching situation.

535
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:46,080
Speaker 2: Uh.

536
00:26:47,520 --> 00:26:50,520
Speaker 1: The last couple weeks, Kiffin's been rumored to be leaving

537
00:26:50,560 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 1: Mississippi for Florida, for LSU, maybe for the NFL. Sure,

538
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,919
Speaker 1: and'll Miss wants some clarity. So they had a meeting

539
00:26:58,960 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: tonight and it was deemed that there would be an

540
00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 1: announcement on Lane Kiffin's status the day after the egg Bowl,

541
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,920
Speaker 1: which is next Friday, when they play Mississippi State, which

542
00:27:11,080 --> 00:27:13,399
Speaker 1: likely is going to be an ole Miss win and

543
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:15,960
Speaker 1: they clinch a spot in the playoff. Now I say

544
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,080
Speaker 1: likely because it's the egg Bowl rivalry. You never know.

545
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:21,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, the record get together.

546
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 1: It's a one loss ole Miss team and they've had

547
00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: a they've had a terrific season. The reason for this

548
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:31,040
Speaker 1: decision is because there were reports earlier this week that

549
00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:33,199
Speaker 1: ole Miss is like, hey, we want an answer or

550
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,240
Speaker 1: you're not coaching the egg Bowl. It's like, okay, let's

551
00:27:35,240 --> 00:27:38,560
Speaker 1: everybody time out. Let's everybody. Oh no, let's everybody be

552
00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:40,720
Speaker 1: there'd be a bunch of little Fonsi's here and what's

553
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:45,320
Speaker 1: Fonsie cool? Correct a mundo? So they have the meeting,

554
00:27:45,400 --> 00:27:48,000
Speaker 1: We're getting an announcement next Friday. All right, First thing

555
00:27:48,040 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: on this, Uh, I love the fact that Lane Kiffin

556
00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:56,360
Speaker 1: has just really embraced the I might go. I mean

557
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,240
Speaker 1: I might stay, but I might go. He's not gonna lie,

558
00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: he's not gonna say, God, I don't what to tell you.

559
00:28:01,440 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 1: I love it here and I am staying the rest

560
00:28:03,080 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: of my career. And then a day later, here comes

561
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,080
Speaker 1: the van and packing up and leaving. Right. Look, he knows, right,

562
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: And I dig the fact that he is. That he's

563
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: basically letting you know without without saying that, Yeah, I

564
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,640
Speaker 1: could stay. I love it. He's got a big contract

565
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: offer on the table that want to give him just

566
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:21,399
Speaker 1: as much money as he would make potentially an LSU

567
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,879
Speaker 1: or Florida, but he could also leave. And I like

568
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: the fact that it's not one of those all you

569
00:28:26,560 --> 00:28:30,200
Speaker 1: gotta be disingenuous and everything is behind closed doors. I

570
00:28:30,240 --> 00:28:32,679
Speaker 1: love the fact that that's what we're talking about, and

571
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,439
Speaker 1: all misses handling it the right way as well, because

572
00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:38,760
Speaker 1: this is the era of poaching coaches in college football

573
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: and nobody really knows how to do it. Do you

574
00:28:41,760 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 1: get rid of your coach if he wants to go?

575
00:28:43,760 --> 00:28:46,120
Speaker 1: Do you make it impossible for him to leave and

576
00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:46,760
Speaker 1: make him stay?

577
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:46,960
Speaker 3: Like?

578
00:28:47,000 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: How do you do this. We're in uncharted waters now

579
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:51,800
Speaker 1: because this is what happens. Right once mel Tucker got

580
00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:54,000
Speaker 1: all that money from Michigan State, it was, hey, we

581
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: can buy anybody we want to. But Ole missus handling

582
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 1: it the right way. Okay, we know this is gonna happen.

583
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:02,120
Speaker 1: This is how college football goes. And smaller schools are

584
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,680
Speaker 1: going to be feeder schools for bigger schools, and whereas

585
00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:06,920
Speaker 1: another school will be a feeder school for Ole miss

586
00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,840
Speaker 1: Ole miss a feeder school for somebody else. And they said, okay,

587
00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 1: here's the right thing. We want your decision. We're going

588
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,840
Speaker 1: to have something day after the egg Bowl, right, that's

589
00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:15,880
Speaker 1: where we're at, and then we're the big thing is

590
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,200
Speaker 1: going to be the decision the day after. But I

591
00:29:18,360 --> 00:29:20,480
Speaker 1: love that both sides are handling this the right way

592
00:29:20,520 --> 00:29:22,680
Speaker 1: because now in this era of college football, we gotta

593
00:29:22,680 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 1: have t shirts that say poaching coaches uh because it's

594
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: fun to say and it looks good on paper. This

595
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,560
Speaker 1: is how things should be done a little bit more

596
00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,960
Speaker 1: out in the open because it's more of a business thing.

597
00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,440
Speaker 1: It's a more popular situation that everybody would just like

598
00:29:37,520 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 1: clarity on, and that way you can proceed with a

599
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:44,880
Speaker 1: cooler head other than watching nil donors and schools get

600
00:29:44,920 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: upset behind closed doors because they're blind sided by news

601
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:48,280
Speaker 1: they're not ready for.

602
00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:52,280
Speaker 2: No, this is perfect because it's theft and eggs poaching coaches,

603
00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:58,760
Speaker 2: that's rights. We talk about poaching. You're stealing and you're

604
00:29:58,840 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: making eggs. So so here we are get your egg

605
00:30:01,920 --> 00:30:06,240
Speaker 2: McMuffin thing going. So I think you try to work

606
00:30:06,280 --> 00:30:08,480
Speaker 2: from a position of strength as best you can in

607
00:30:08,520 --> 00:30:12,960
Speaker 2: all scenarios. Right, and for old miss, they're trying to say, hey,

608
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,320
Speaker 2: you've got it. We've built a program here with you. Right,

609
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 2: We've helped you build this. It's not all one. We've

610
00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:22,000
Speaker 2: got an infrastructure that seems to be working. With the

611
00:30:22,040 --> 00:30:24,680
Speaker 2: four double digit wins the last five years. Yes, you

612
00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 2: get all the top line credit and all, but trying

613
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 2: to say, hey, we've now got something and we've had

614
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:34,400
Speaker 2: some institutional learning in this process, so we can go

615
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 2: to the well if we need to, with Lane Kiffin

616
00:30:37,120 --> 00:30:40,720
Speaker 2: saying well, they're here, they're here. You send family on trips,

617
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:44,640
Speaker 2: go house hunting and check out the areas. Where's the

618
00:30:44,640 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 2: new nearest movie theater? How many Starbucks per per capita

619
00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:51,160
Speaker 2: and all of those kind of things or insert your

620
00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 2: favorite coffee shop. We had the big fry debate yesterday.

621
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:56,360
Speaker 2: I don't want to go down those roads again. That

622
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:59,080
Speaker 2: got really contentious and ugly in a lot of hurt

623
00:30:59,120 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 2: feelings and things were said that just can't be taken

624
00:31:02,320 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 2: back based on the crispiness or lack thereof a fry.

625
00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:07,960
Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna do that with coffee. But for

626
00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:11,400
Speaker 2: the idea of Lane Kiffin's like, yeah, there's a lot

627
00:31:11,400 --> 00:31:14,120
Speaker 2: of places I can go. Do I want a middling

628
00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,440
Speaker 2: to lower tier NFL job, because how many of those

629
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,800
Speaker 2: come with a quarterback already installed? And not many? Right,

630
00:31:21,920 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 2: A lot of them are. Well, I might have a

631
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,000
Speaker 2: guy I kind of like like the Giants, you might

632
00:31:26,040 --> 00:31:28,360
Speaker 2: like Jackson Dart, but you're already doing the math of

633
00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,120
Speaker 2: how many more games he's gonna play before he's either

634
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 2: hanging out at WWE events or going and you know,

635
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 2: signing autographs saying I was the old miss quarterback. So

636
00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,840
Speaker 2: all of that, right, So it's it's just the process.

637
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:48,360
Speaker 2: And for Lane Kiffin, you know, really making sure to

638
00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 2: emphasize I love my time here, I love my players here.

639
00:31:51,280 --> 00:31:54,520
Speaker 2: They're hanging out in the office while I'm doing interviews

640
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:57,040
Speaker 2: and bringing them on camera. That really just strikes me.

641
00:31:57,280 --> 00:31:59,040
Speaker 2: It's not a here, let's pull them up on a

642
00:31:59,160 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 2: zoom call. Oh he's hanging out right here. What are

643
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 2: you doing? We might be playing chess? I don't know,

644
00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,040
Speaker 2: but it's for for Lane Kiffen. You're never gonna be

645
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 2: a how many bites of the apple do you get? Right?

646
00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,160
Speaker 2: And he's got another one here right. He's been the

647
00:32:13,360 --> 00:32:16,840
Speaker 2: hot coaching prospect multiple time, and right now it's white

648
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 2: hot with huge opportunities. I mean, the LSU offers reportedly

649
00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 2: ninety to one hundred million dollars. Yeah, of course part

650
00:32:23,640 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 2: of that might be contingent on can they get out

651
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:27,320
Speaker 2: of paying Brian Kelly?

652
00:32:27,360 --> 00:32:29,680
Speaker 1: That is true. Yes, yeah, so they like, I want

653
00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:32,680
Speaker 1: to fire a guy. They fired a guy they fired

654
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,800
Speaker 1: two weeks ago today, So I mean, at least they've

655
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:35,560
Speaker 1: gotten around to that.

656
00:32:35,640 --> 00:32:37,040
Speaker 2: Do you think do you think it was one of

657
00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 2: those Hey, you know what, Blake, you just don't come

658
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 2: back on Monday? And then he didn't, you know, to

659
00:32:43,360 --> 00:32:46,280
Speaker 2: prove a point. But one side thought he was fired.

660
00:32:46,280 --> 00:32:48,760
Speaker 2: The other thought he was just taking a me day

661
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 2: for comrade heads to Bruce, taking a mee day. You

662
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:56,360
Speaker 2: know what, I'm gonna work from home. I'll see on Tuesday.

663
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,160
Speaker 2: Like but but they didn't say it, and so like

664
00:32:59,240 --> 00:33:00,720
Speaker 2: he went back to you is his key card?

665
00:33:00,760 --> 00:33:01,400
Speaker 1: That did work?

666
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:05,280
Speaker 2: It's like, oh you actually wait, am I fired? I'm fighting?

667
00:33:05,320 --> 00:33:06,360
Speaker 1: No, all right?

668
00:33:06,560 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 2: The Stanza the play now.

669
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: Now, look the other part of it is this, if

670
00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:15,600
Speaker 1: there's an announcement the day after the egg Bowl, i

671
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,240
Speaker 1: am sure he is leaving, because if he was gonna stay,

672
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:20,480
Speaker 1: they're not gonna postpone this. They're not gonna go through

673
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:22,920
Speaker 1: a whole week of practice with the college Football Playoff

674
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,640
Speaker 1: hanging in the balance, only to find out that he's

675
00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,480
Speaker 1: the Oh I'm gonna stay. I guess what. So you

676
00:33:27,560 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: know he's leaving, and I'm sure what the The only

677
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: question is gonna be are they going to allow him

678
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: to stay before he leaves? And I'm sure they will.

679
00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: That's why the egg Bowl is the big thing. I'm

680
00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,360
Speaker 1: sure they've told him you win the egg Bowl and

681
00:33:39,440 --> 00:33:42,320
Speaker 1: we're going to the College Football Playoff, you're staying all

682
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,600
Speaker 1: the way through. Lose the egg Bowl, we don't go

683
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 1: to the College Football Playoff. You're done. So I'm sure

684
00:33:47,440 --> 00:33:50,000
Speaker 1: that's what the announcement's going to be because they know

685
00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:52,520
Speaker 1: we want to make sure we have the best season possible.

686
00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:54,240
Speaker 1: We don't want to fire a guy and put the

687
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: playoff in in in jeopardy. We could have a home game,

688
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,760
Speaker 1: we could be hosting games. I mean, we don't want

689
00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: to do that. So I'm sure that's what the announcement's

690
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: gonna wind up being.

691
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:05,320
Speaker 2: The day after all of a sudden, they're ranked fifteenth

692
00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:08,919
Speaker 2: in the next college football playoff. Yeah, we think he's leaving. Yeah,

693
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:11,200
Speaker 2: And if we have to keep people out of the

694
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 2: playoff because their quarterback got hurt even if they kept winning, well,

695
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 2: Lane Giffin Lee, it has to be worth something.

696

Speaker 1: going to preview a game like this where we say

722
00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:51,920
Speaker 1: Brown's Raiders. People want to know what's going to happen,

723
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,440
Speaker 1: must see tell them what do we think is going

724
00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: to happen for the Browns and the Raiders. You got

725
00:35:57,520 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: to go back to like nineteen eighty eight, the last

726
00:36:01,200 --> 00:36:04,480
Speaker 1: time people thought Brown's Raiders was good, right like that,

727
00:36:04,480 --> 00:36:08,120
Speaker 1: that's the last time, Brad Oh Brown. I don't know, Hey, Kozar,

728
00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:10,919
Speaker 1: it's a pretty good team, you know, Biner and Mac

729
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:13,040
Speaker 1: all right, they were pretty good, boy, the Raiders in

730
00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:15,400
Speaker 1: the late eighties, you know, coming off the Super Bowl

731
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,239
Speaker 1: and I don't know, you gotta go back the last night.

732
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,360
Speaker 1: But Shadora Sanders NFL debut as a starter is a

733
00:36:22,400 --> 00:36:27,480
Speaker 1: big deal. And for Sanders, I'll tell you this, he

734
00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:32,399
Speaker 1: will be fine. Is he gonna have great stats. No,

735
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,040
Speaker 1: the game is a little too fast for him. It's

736
00:36:35,080 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: gonna be instinct plays, reaction plays from him. You're gonna

737
00:36:38,719 --> 00:36:41,319
Speaker 1: see Sunday. And I'll tell you this, he will make

738
00:36:42,640 --> 00:36:48,560
Speaker 1: three or four really good individual plays that extend drives

739
00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,520
Speaker 1: or help put the ball in the end zone. I'm

740
00:36:50,520 --> 00:36:52,680
Speaker 1: not saying each one's gonna result in a touchdown, but

741
00:36:52,960 --> 00:36:58,200
Speaker 1: he's gonna make three or four really terrific decisions or plays,

742
00:36:58,239 --> 00:37:00,960
Speaker 1: whether it's standing in and fiery get a big completion,

743
00:37:01,160 --> 00:37:04,239
Speaker 1: scrambling for a big first down, holding onto the ball

744
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 1: long enough to make a big throw. He'll make three

745
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:08,719
Speaker 1: or four good plays. The rest of the game might

746
00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:11,960
Speaker 1: be really rough, for him. But number one, you gotta

747
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:13,879
Speaker 1: love the under on this. You could put the under

748
00:37:13,880 --> 00:37:15,600
Speaker 1: at four and a half and I would take the under.

749
00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 2: It is it currently had thirty six, little downward pressure

750
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,680
Speaker 2: coming as the week rolls on.

751
00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: I would be surprised that thing got to like thirty

752
00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:25,280
Speaker 1: four and a half by the time kickoff.

753
00:37:25,520 --> 00:37:29,280
Speaker 2: Would not be shocked. I've not looked up. Let's see,

754
00:37:29,719 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 2: we're in Vegas, so whether or not a factor, but yeah,

755
00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:35,080
Speaker 2: like that would have been one of the other things. Yeah,

756
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:37,560
Speaker 2: let's get a thirty mile an hour win cutting through.

757
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:43,120
Speaker 1: But he'll make enough individual plays because he is talented,

758
00:37:43,480 --> 00:37:45,600
Speaker 1: and that'll be enough and he'll win. Now we'll wait,

759
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:47,359
Speaker 1: So what do you think the score is gonna be? Oh,

760
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,879
Speaker 1: it's gonna be low. It's gonna be like sixteen to ten.

761
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:54,080
Speaker 1: But the main reason is this Brown's defense can kind

762
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:56,920
Speaker 1: of name the score against Gino Smith and the Raiders.

763
00:37:56,920 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: Man Miles Garrett is running a meet eating right now, Going, okay, guys, everybody,

764
00:38:02,200 --> 00:38:04,319
Speaker 1: everybody put in the pool from me sacks you think

765
00:38:04,360 --> 00:38:07,359
Speaker 1: you're gonna get? How many interceptions you think you're gonna get?

766
00:38:07,360 --> 00:38:10,080
Speaker 1: Like it's a stat game. The Brown, but the Browns

767
00:38:10,120 --> 00:38:13,520
Speaker 1: defense has given trouble to everybody over the course this season.

768
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:15,799
Speaker 1: No matter how good you are or how bad you are,

769
00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:18,759
Speaker 1: the Browns give you problems. This defense is legit and

770
00:38:18,800 --> 00:38:21,000
Speaker 1: it's the big regret that the Browns are gonna have

771
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:22,279
Speaker 1: the end of the year going. Man, if we had

772
00:38:22,280 --> 00:38:24,160
Speaker 1: known our defense is gonna be this good, we would

773
00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,120
Speaker 1: have invested more on the offensive side of the football,

774
00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:29,320
Speaker 1: set a tanking for next year. But hey, you make decisions,

775
00:38:29,480 --> 00:38:32,440
Speaker 1: you have to live with them. Uh, they're gonna absolutely

776
00:38:32,520 --> 00:38:35,200
Speaker 1: just blow the Raiders apart. And Gino Smith I feel

777
00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,799
Speaker 1: bad for the guy because, man, this Browns defense is

778
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:41,480
Speaker 1: gonna eat him alive. Give me the under gimme Shador Sanders.

779
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: And on Monday we're talking about Shador Sanders one to

780
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:48,399
Speaker 1: zero should he stay the Cleveland brown starting quarterback. Let's

781
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,239
Speaker 1: see Gino Smith odds to throw an interception minus one

782
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:57,560
Speaker 1: seventy six implied odds sixty four percent. This is on

783
00:38:57,600 --> 00:38:58,520
Speaker 1: the first pass of the game.

784
00:38:59,120 --> 00:39:00,000
Speaker 2: No, just any time.

785
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,200
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, right.

786
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, first pass of the game. I mean, I do

787
00:39:05,640 --> 00:39:08,400
Speaker 2: like the cut of your gym. How about two plus

788
00:39:08,680 --> 00:39:11,280
Speaker 2: interceptions for Chadure plus one eighty four.

789
00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,799
Speaker 1: H three and wow, that's a pretty good that's a

790
00:39:14,800 --> 00:39:18,440
Speaker 1: pretty good spot to put it out. Three interceptions, i'd

791
00:39:18,440 --> 00:39:21,040
Speaker 1: see get if you go for three plus, you get

792
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:23,560
Speaker 1: five to one. Yeah. See, I don't think he's gonna

793
00:39:23,560 --> 00:39:26,080
Speaker 1: throw the football enough to throw three picks.

794
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,480
Speaker 2: Ye, Gino at three plus is just three to one.

795
00:39:28,800 --> 00:39:31,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gino at three plus is even money?

796
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:35,640
Speaker 2: All right? So over under on his passing yards is

797
00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,560
Speaker 2: like one sixty okay for Chadure what sixty?

798
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, you might be able to say the over

799
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:46,640
Speaker 1: under is one sixty for Shador and Gino.

800
00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:51,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, gins close to two hundred's one ninety seven? Yeah

801
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,440
Speaker 2: for just for just this game, not the next two times,

802
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,560
Speaker 2: just this one.

803
00:39:55,600 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 1: Wow? Really?

804
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,760
Speaker 2: Yes, like the sender thing go ahead?

805
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,880
Speaker 1: What do they think they know that we don't know?

806
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:05,160
Speaker 2: If I'm just gonna keep wringing the ball down if well,

807
00:40:05,200 --> 00:40:08,239
Speaker 2: I mean also, you know the opportunity that Schador can't

808
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 2: move the ball and they get some you know, opportunity

809
00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:15,800
Speaker 2: to work downfield, maybe a little brock Bowers, maybe more Tyler.

810
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,680
Speaker 2: I don't know, I'm wishing an open here, but when

811
00:40:18,719 --> 00:40:20,200
Speaker 2: we look at Sanders, what.

812
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 1: They could throw the ball sixty times we've known that's

813
00:40:22,560 --> 00:40:25,040
Speaker 1: before from Gino, he could have two hundred yards passing

814
00:40:25,080 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: on sixty pass ten.

815
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:29,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, Ashton Genty's bystander. But for Shador, the one thing

816
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:31,400
Speaker 2: we do know is he's not shy about putting the

817
00:40:31,400 --> 00:40:34,320
Speaker 2: ball downfield. Will he be able to avoid Max Crosby,

818
00:40:34,400 --> 00:40:36,120
Speaker 2: Like if I could get the head to head on

819
00:40:36,239 --> 00:40:38,560
Speaker 2: Crosby and Garrett, that's about as good as it gets.

820
00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:42,720
Speaker 2: But he will push the downfield to Tillman into Judy.

821
00:40:42,880 --> 00:40:48,080
Speaker 2: So they're interesting as deep end fantasy ninjas. But when

822
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,800
Speaker 2: we look at Shador Sanders, I mean, we're all grabbing

823
00:40:50,800 --> 00:40:54,640
Speaker 2: our popcorn to watch. Right, It's the most fascinating under

824
00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:58,200
Speaker 2: forty nine total game that will play all year.

825
00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:02,680
Speaker 1: It out about a Fresco exit swollen Dome the Jason

826
00:41:02,719 --> 00:41:06,040
Speaker 1: Smith Show with my best friend Mike Carmon. So there

827
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:10,759
Speaker 1: it is your probably only Browns Raiders preview ever, is

828
00:41:10,760 --> 00:41:13,400
Speaker 1: one of the biggest NBA records of all time in

829
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:15,440
Speaker 1: Jeopardy this year, that's next Fox
