Speaker 3: It should not good.

14
00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:59,280
Speaker 4: It should have lasted all of no days on that.

15
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 4: I don't know why Lamar thought that was that.

16
00:01:04,480 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, I like some of the selections,

17
00:01:06,720 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 2: and some are just absolutely awful.

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 5: I gotta say they just get worse and worse.

19
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:19,959
Speaker 2: That's not true. I mean, this is.

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 3: I mean, I love it's.

21
00:01:25,319 --> 00:01:26,039
Speaker 2: Know this song.

22
00:01:26,840 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 5: Oh not this one, but the one that was started it.

23
00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:32,559
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Well there's been a there's been a couple

24
00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 2: that have just been awful.

25
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:37,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not not been ideal for U.

26
00:01:37,720 --> 00:01:40,280
Speaker 2: The one that he was trying to wrap like DC.

27
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,160
Speaker 2: That was not goody terrible.

28
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 3: That was terrible. It sounded like three to eleven.

29
00:01:45,360 --> 00:01:47,440
Speaker 4: And then he started getting upset when I would mention

30
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 4: that because I it sounds not like the band three yeah,

31
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: and then say, well they don't even look the same.

32
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:55,200
Speaker 3: And I do.

33
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 4: Like how Lorena that was her fallback song. Knowing that

34
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,840
Speaker 4: this hour two version of what LeVar had planned was awful,

35
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:08,360
Speaker 4: you go back to life, back to reality. What was

36
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 4: what didn't make the cut on the board there that

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 4: you would have played to try and fill in the

38
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: empty space since we called out the song for being

39
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 4: terrible on the air, What would have been optioned.

40
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 3: B Super Freak was another one.

41
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 2: I thought that one was fine.

42
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, all right, that works both. I mean both are

43
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 4: better than whatever he chose. I don't even get the song,

44
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 4: but you know is what it is? Two pros and

45
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:35,200
Speaker 4: a cup of Joe Here on Fox Sports Radio, var

46
00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:38,720
Speaker 4: Arrington not here again. I'll get used to that. Brady Quinn,

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 4: Jonas Knox with you. We're going to take you all

48
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,840
Speaker 4: the way up until nine a m. Eastern time, six

49
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,680
Speaker 4: o'clock Pacific here on this Thursday edition of the show.

50
00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:50,959
Speaker 4: We've obviously got preseason in the NFL. Wrapping up here,

51
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 4: We're going to catch up with Kenny Dillingham coming up

52
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 4: here shortly. But one of the things that we were

53
00:02:56,480 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 4: talking about yesterday, which sparked all sorts of fun back

54
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:04,960
Speaker 4: and forth in conversation, was exactly what's going on there

55
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 4: with Justin Fields in New York Aaron Glenn defending Justin Fields,

56
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 4: and we were pointing out, how, you know, it does

57
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:14,920
Speaker 4: create a little bit of an interesting aspect to Week

58
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:19,080
Speaker 4: one in the sense that the Jets, in essence shows

59
00:03:19,400 --> 00:03:23,800
Speaker 4: Justin Fields over Aaron Rodgers. Both those teams are playing

60
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 4: each other. And LeVar was really citing all of a

61
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 4: sudden with the New York Jets, which he was way

62
00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 4: against the past two years on this show, and Brady

63
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 4: and I both accepted full responsibility bad call.

64
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 3: Thought they would be better.

65
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:45,839
Speaker 4: You're right, you can't overcome dysfunction, and it's just it's

66
00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 4: interesting hearing some of the stories that are coming out

67
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 4: of New York. Already we're not even at the final

68
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 4: preseason game, and all of a sudden, the Jets are

69
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:59,800
Speaker 4: holding secret practices. The word is the Jets held a

70
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 4: practice on Sunday. The following Saturday Nights lost to the

71
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:08,240
Speaker 4: Giants with no assistant coaches. It was just Aaron Glenn

72
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 4: and the players. Glenn may have gotten the idea from

73
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 4: Bill Parcells, who did that back in the day. But

74
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 4: even then Parcels, you know, took all the coaches off

75
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,359
Speaker 4: the field and just said, we don't like how you're practicing.

76
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 4: You guys figure it out. But it reportedly was not

77
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,039
Speaker 4: supposed to get out. Garrett Wilson did an interview with

78
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:30,279
Speaker 4: some social media influencer and then it got out. So

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:32,440
Speaker 4: the players got asked about it, of course because it's

80
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:36,039
Speaker 4: New York. And here was Andre Cisco, the safety with

81
00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,080
Speaker 4: the Jets, who discussed the practice that Aaron Glenn called

82
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:40,760
Speaker 4: what is up.

83
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 6: To for you guys kind of an ownership team, a little.

84
00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 7: Man, yeah, ownership thing and also just us, like you said,

85
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 7: owning the calls, owning the defense, and really leaning into

86
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 7: you know, what is it that our coaches are gonna

87
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 7: be calling and why are they calling it? And can

88
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 7: we even step in and kind of predict it, you know,

89
00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 7: as a defense. So you know, sure what kind of

90
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,160
Speaker 7: took over those duties on that day and it was

91
00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 7: just player led from that standpoint, so you know, we

92
00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 7: gathered ourselves, we took ownership of how many reps you

93
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 7: were going to get, and then just holding Goud' account

94
00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,159
Speaker 7: of how we're getting to the ball, executing the calls

95
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:11,760
Speaker 7: and so it was effective.

96
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 3: Is that kind of an AG driven thing like you

97
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:18,080
Speaker 3: mentioned that to you guys after the game or all

98
00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 3: coming down?

99
00:05:18,680 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 7: Yeah, so that was the AG thing. And he put

100
00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,039
Speaker 7: his in position just alert into and what we're going

101
00:05:23,120 --> 00:05:24,920
Speaker 7: to walk into so that it wasn't a surprise at all.

102
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 7: But yeah, he prepared us for it, and you know,

103
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 7: he said, this is something that he envisions his team being,

104
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 7: you know, a player driven team, and so those players

105
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:34,760
Speaker 7: driven practices are just a way to enforce it.

106
00:05:35,200 --> 00:05:37,960
Speaker 4: So again that was Jet safety Andre Cisco talking about

107
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 4: the players only with Aaron Glenn included practice they had

108
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:46,160
Speaker 4: Sunday following Saturday night's preseason game against the Giants. I

109
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560
Speaker 4: don't know about you. I just feel like we're already

110
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: taking an odd path here with this whole thing with

111
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,599
Speaker 4: Aaron Glenn.

112
00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,400
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, this is fine, Like this is

113
00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:57,600
Speaker 2: something that as a head coach you're trying to get

114
00:05:57,600 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 2: the players in the team to understand they're only going

115
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:03,840
Speaker 2: to go as far as the leadership in that lockerom.

116
00:06:04,120 --> 00:06:08,680
Speaker 2: That's the reality of most teams. It's player led, it's

117
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 2: not coach led. You know, we're gonna speak with Kenny

118
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:16,720
Speaker 2: Dillingham coming up here in this next segment, and I

119
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 2: would imagine he'll imagine he'll echo that it's about players,

120
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:25,320
Speaker 2: not not coaches. So give the assistant coaches the day off,

121
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: allow the players to get in sync and understand situationally,

122
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:31,960
Speaker 2: what's gonna happen out there in the field. I mean,

123
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 2: all sorts of stuff happens about the course of the game.

124
00:06:34,440 --> 00:06:37,280
Speaker 2: Headsets go out, you can't get the communication in you're

125
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 2: on a big third down, Yeah, you better make sure

126
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:43,280
Speaker 2: that you know your quarterback, you're you know, linebacker, your

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: middle linebacker, Mike linebacker, they know what to call, you know,

128
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:49,000
Speaker 2: or even just signal in, hey, hey give boys, this

129
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:51,120
Speaker 2: is the coverture plan, like, this is what we want

130
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 2: to run. So making sure that the players understand the

131
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 2: scheme and why they're doing what they're doing is just

132
00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,040
Speaker 2: as important as anything. And I actually think this is

133
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:04,920
Speaker 2: a unique way of doing it. You know, I've had

134
00:07:04,920 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 2: coaches do all kinds of different things through the years

135
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:10,880
Speaker 2: to help players get a better understanding and and you know,

136
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 2: feel more accountable to each other and to the coaching staff.

137
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,840
Speaker 2: And I remember, I remember a year where offensive players

138
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 2: switched to defense. Defense switched to the offense, and we

139
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 2: did it. We did a whole install, did an entire

140
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,360
Speaker 2: day in camp. And the whole reason for it was

141
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,920
Speaker 2: you don't have the perspective of the other side of

142
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 2: the ball, so you don't know what their job entails,

143
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,320
Speaker 2: how difficult their job is. So live in their shoes

144
00:07:35,360 --> 00:07:39,040
Speaker 2: for a day, understand what that feels like, and then

145
00:07:39,160 --> 00:07:41,440
Speaker 2: you could have a greater understanding for you know, instead

146
00:07:41,440 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 2: of being frustrated that they're not converting on third down,

147
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 2: you can have a better understanding of why. So there's

148
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 2: all sorts of lessons to be learned from that. I

149
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,960
Speaker 2: think it's a good it's a good exercise. Will matter

150
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,240
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, maybe if enough players

151
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:58,600
Speaker 2: buy in. But you know, to me, I don't look

152
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 2: at this as Okay, they got drum in their preseason game.

153
00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:05,640
Speaker 2: This is reactionary. I think this is more of hey, like,

154
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:07,840
Speaker 2: we've got a little more time here to develop and

155
00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 2: work as a team before we get a season, what's

156
00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,960
Speaker 2: all about game planning, and this is an opportunity for

157
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 2: us to grow together as.

158
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:21,480
Speaker 4: A team if they get wiped out Week one. I

159
00:08:21,520 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 4: don't know, man, I just I got a really bad

160
00:08:24,240 --> 00:08:27,120
Speaker 4: feeling about this whole thing. The handling of the Aaron

161
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:33,480
Speaker 4: Rodgers stuff was strange. This, I mean, I get the

162
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:37,640
Speaker 4: idea behind it, but it feels like pretty early on

163
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,679
Speaker 4: that he's got to like have the players run their

164
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 4: own practice, Like this would feel like something you would

165
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880
Speaker 4: maybe do if you felt like they weren't paying attention

166
00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:48,160
Speaker 4: or weren't all there in the middle of the season.

167
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,760
Speaker 4: And we're not even before the last preseason game. They're

168
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 4: already doing it. It just it just feels like it's

169
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 4: already kind of awkward. And then the Justin Field stuff

170
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,800
Speaker 4: and his response to the Justin Field stuff, it just

171
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,400
Speaker 4: it seems like with Ben Johnson, and you know, they're

172
00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,000
Speaker 4: both first time coaches, both from the same staff in Detroit,

173
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:14,079
Speaker 4: like you can kind of understand the plan a little bit.

174
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 4: But with Aaron Glenn it feels like things are kind

175
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 4: of well, we'll just try this out, and I'm gonna

176
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:24,199
Speaker 4: and I'm gonna try that out, and and this is

177
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:27,920
Speaker 4: how I feel about this and this, and in that media.

178
00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 3: Market, it's gonna be a frenzy.

179
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 4: And especially if the guy you let go like we

180
00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 4: talked about yesterday, performs well and the guy you brought

181
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 4: in struggles. And on top of that, you're holding unique

182
00:09:40,600 --> 00:09:43,640
Speaker 4: practices like this before the season even starts. I just

183
00:09:43,800 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 4: I'm a little skeptical, skeptical about the whole thing. Maybe

184
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 4: it don't make sense, listen. Maybe the roster is good

185
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:49,600
Speaker 4: enough to where they overcome it.

186
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,679
Speaker 3: I don't know. It just I'm a little seems a

187
00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:53,640
Speaker 3: little suspect to me.

188
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,360
Speaker 2: I understand the hesitation. I think if you're gonna be,

189
00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:00,640
Speaker 2: you know, hesitant about any of it's the fact that

190
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 2: he is a first time head coach. They've got a

191
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,760
Speaker 2: first time offensive play caller. Even though you know Engstrand

192
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 2: was part of the play calling process in Detroit, he

193
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,640
Speaker 2: was behind Ben Johnson, and so there's there's questions there.

194
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:18,520
Speaker 2: You know, Steve Wilkes takes over his defensive coordinator. The

195
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:20,840
Speaker 2: forty nine ers moved on from him, you know, they

196
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:22,800
Speaker 2: didn't feel like he was doing a good enough job there.

197
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,559
Speaker 2: So I think when you look at everyone who's being

198
00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:27,360
Speaker 2: anointed and put in positions, and by the way, Aaron

199
00:10:27,400 --> 00:10:30,560
Speaker 2: Glenn's stated he's not calling the defense, he's delegated to

200
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:33,320
Speaker 2: Steve Wilkes. I think when you look at it from

201
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:36,280
Speaker 2: that aspect, there's a lot of question marks. There's a

202
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 2: question marks about the quarterback and whether not justin fields

203
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 2: can ultimately do it consistently at a high enough level.

204
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:44,280
Speaker 2: This question is are going to be about what the

205
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,840
Speaker 2: offense looks like, their identity. Have they improved the offensive

206
00:10:47,880 --> 00:10:52,520
Speaker 2: line have they not? You know, how good can this

207
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 2: defense be? I mean, Robert Saul was a hell of

208
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 2: a defensive coordinator and you know, at times the defense

209
00:10:59,679 --> 00:11:01,720
Speaker 2: played really well. I mean at times too, I think

210
00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 2: they kind of got their back broke because offensively they

211
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 2: struggled two years ago when Rogers wasn't there, and even

212
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:09,720
Speaker 2: when Rogers was there at times, you know, it felt

213
00:11:09,800 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 2: like the defense just kind of got broken to a point. So,

214
00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 2: you know, how's this going to look with Steve Wilkes,

215
00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 2: you know, defensive coordinator who you know, a team like

216
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,319
Speaker 2: the forty nine have moved on from. I think there's

217
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 2: there's a lot of questions about this team. You know,

218
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,080
Speaker 2: more so now that you don't have a guy who's

219
00:11:28,120 --> 00:11:31,319
Speaker 2: a first ballot future Hall of Famer who's playing quarterback

220
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 2: for you, and we've got some sort of issue right

221
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 2: now with Jonas Knox. I'm not sure if he's gone

222
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 2: to the bathroom or the computer. I don't think it's

223
00:11:49,520 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: that important that you need to worry about that. This

224
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,320
Speaker 2: is something that Leaves should be able to figure out.

225
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 4: We tried yesterday. It's not working for some reason. Yeah

226
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 4: it did not. You know, we reset it and everything

227
00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:02,520
Speaker 4: did not go through, But you know not, I.

228
00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:04,560
Speaker 2: Don't understand why this doesn't extend it closer to you.

229
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 2: I mean, it's not that complicate, and it would have

230
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: got so mad about.

231
00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,679
Speaker 4: It yesterday, yeah, that it would be in the camera shot.

232
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,679
Speaker 4: And you know, I'm not trying to piss These.

233
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 8: Wires are like taped onto the computer from the desk.

234
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 8: It's very uh finicky.

235
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:23,000
Speaker 2: Or when you just get a longer wire, that's all

236
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:23,720
Speaker 2: you need to do.

237
00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:26,200
Speaker 3: I'm not trying to pissola off.

238
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 8: I don't my computers.

239
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 2: He is, have them. Just buy like a ten foot cord.

240
00:12:34,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 5: That'll take a month.

241
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,239
Speaker 3: You get least frustrated.

242
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 4: And he's not even on the stream yard stream like

243
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 4: he's not even partaking anymore.

244
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:46,679
Speaker 3: I mean, there he is.

245
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 2: You know, he just seems you could find the cord

246
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 2: at best Buy, probably some sort of you know, home depot,

247
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:58,560
Speaker 2: frizs there, fries whatever the hell you guys got out.

248
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 3: There the circuits. He's still still around or no, it's not.

249
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, to go on an adventure like that.

250
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, if you told him there's a happy hour specialist,

251
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:14,239
Speaker 2: now there's.

252
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:15,040
Speaker 3: There's open bar best Buy.

253
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,000
Speaker 8: But I wonder what's easier that or just like a

254
00:13:18,080 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 8: long like backscratcher that we could just put in there

255
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:23,760
Speaker 8: and then you can just reach over touch.

256
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:25,000
Speaker 3: It that works. Could do that?

257
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 5: I think that's easy.

258
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 3: I think it would fit the show.

259
00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:33,320
Speaker 2: Yes it would. And then Lee would use that backscratcher

260
00:13:33,480 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: and it would have all sorts of his skin flaked

261
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 2: on it.

262
00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:36,600
Speaker 6: Yeah.

263
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 8: Well yeah, I found some flakes today.

264
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:42,560
Speaker 3: That is nasty.

265
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 4: Can I tell you what the most captivating part of

266
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,000
Speaker 4: the a f C East is for me? Since we're

267
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,720
Speaker 4: talking about the Jets, it's not who's going to win

268
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,920
Speaker 4: the division, it's who's going to finish last.

269
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 3: Because it's either going to be Miami or the Jets.

270
00:13:56,080 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 4: All Right, it's gonna be Miami or New York to

271
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,440
Speaker 4: finish his last in the a f C, and I

272
00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:02,600
Speaker 4: can't decide who I'm going with because I think New

273
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:05,720
Speaker 4: England's going to finish second and then either the Jets

274
00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 4: or the Dolphins are going to be awful this year,

275
00:14:09,240 --> 00:14:11,560
Speaker 4: and I can't figure out which direction I want to go.

276
00:14:12,679 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 4: So I'm really torn on that, so that that's really

277
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:17,360
Speaker 4: the one. Like I'm I'm pretty much ready to go

278
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 4: as far as all the other divisions go. In the NFL,

279
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 4: I'm not ready to reveal him yet because we'll save

280
00:14:21,880 --> 00:14:26,800
Speaker 4: that for our picks. But in the AFC, East really

281
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 4: torn on who's going to finish dead last?

282
00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:31,200
Speaker 2: So what was our bet? By the way, with LeVar,

283
00:14:31,480 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 2: is it that New England will finish second? Yeah, or higher?

284
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 2: And he thinks they're going to finish last.

285
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,000
Speaker 4: I think so, yeah, I think that's what it was. Yeah,

286
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 4: I think that's I think that's what it was.

287
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,200
Speaker 2: I guess we'll see.

288
00:14:45,360 --> 00:14:49,640
Speaker 4: He's been really really erratic with the with the New

289
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:51,280
Speaker 4: York Jets and what does.

290
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:53,200
Speaker 2: He's been all over the place with the whole stuff.

291
00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:56,720
Speaker 2: We had that conversation about you know, sheduor Sanders and

292
00:14:56,760 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 2: the Browns he was claiming he wasn't going to make

293
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 2: the roster at the beginning of the spring, after you

294
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 2: got drafted ahead in the summer, in the summertime. Now

295
00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,880
Speaker 2: he's like, no, it's just startom after one preseason game.

296
00:15:07,960 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 2: It's just startom now because no one's gonna be able

297
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:11,880
Speaker 2: to live. I mean, it's it's all over the place.

298
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 4: The thing I love about the Jets analysis is he

299
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:21,440
Speaker 4: was steadfast that it doesn't matter who the quarterback or

300
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,960
Speaker 4: the coach is, you can't escape dysfunction. And then they

301
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 4: get a new quarterback and coach and he's more optimistic,

302
00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 4: yet the owner who's the author of the dysfunction is

303
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:36,120
Speaker 4: still there. Literally, like it goes against everything that he's

304
00:15:36,160 --> 00:15:39,320
Speaker 4: been saying, like everything, you can't escape it no matter what.

305
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:42,960
Speaker 4: But this time it's real, all right, this time's gonna

306
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 4: be different. It just doesn't make any sense. And so

307
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,520
Speaker 4: I'm I don't know whether or not it's gonna be

308
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:52,880
Speaker 4: Miami or it's gonna be New York. Somebody's finishing dead

309
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,560
Speaker 4: last there between those two teams. And that's really the

310
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:58,080
Speaker 4: issue I'm having right now. So I'll let you know

311
00:15:58,960 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 4: as soon as I'm able to come out up with that.

312
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,120
Speaker 4: But I got a little bit of time here, tell me.

313
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: Which way you bet, because I'm I'm not gonna follow

314
00:16:05,240 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 2: you in that regard.

315
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:15,760
Speaker 4: I'm probably leaning the Jets Knocks Loucks. Yeah, I'm probably

316
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:19,600
Speaker 4: going the Jets. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go you, Mimi. No,

317
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 4: I was Miami up until the last few days, and

318
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:27,000
Speaker 4: then the last few days have felt problematic to me.

319
00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 4: So then I'm gonna go with the Jets to finish

320
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,080
Speaker 4: dead last. There, So congratulations Fins to the left fence

321
00:16:33,120 --> 00:16:33,440
Speaker 4: of the right.

322
00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 2: I just feel like I have more of an idea

323
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,080
Speaker 2: of what the Dolphins are than I do the Jets.

324
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:39,880
Speaker 2: So I would side with you saying it's gonna be

325
00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 2: the Jets. Dolphins finish third and they've got a better quarterback. Well, yeah,

326
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:47,320
Speaker 2: he's proved himself at this point. You gotta stay healthy though.

327
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:52,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, if if Tua gets hurt, can I make the pick?

328
00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 4: Can we do qualifiers? I like the Dolphins.

329
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 2: You know, I don't have any problem with it because

330
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 2: that's in reality how it works. Yeah, but some people

331
00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,439
Speaker 2: not to be named, not on today's show have an

332
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:05,959
Speaker 2: issue with it.

333
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, they would call that fence riding well there's also Yeah,

334
00:17:10,800 --> 00:17:12,320
Speaker 4: guys like Rob Parker.

335
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,679
Speaker 3: Sports is a short menu.

336
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:16,359
Speaker 2: It's about wins and losses.

337
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:19,080
Speaker 4: It's like, Rob, you were calmnist for years. How did

338
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 4: you write articles? Did you just give them a box

339
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 4: score or did you tell the tale of what happened

340
00:17:23,520 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 4: in the game. You can't just go wins and losses

341
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,600
Speaker 4: black and white on this stuff. If Tua gets injured,

342
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:33,720
Speaker 4: the Dolphins will finish last. If not, they'll finish third.

343
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 4: That's it pretty easy.

344
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:37,440
Speaker 2: Not a big delta there.

345
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:41,840

390
00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 4: He is Kenny Dillingham, joining us here right now on

391
00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. Coach, thanks so much for getting up

392
00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:55,480
Speaker 4: early with us.

393
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 6: Of course, I appreciate y'all having.

394
00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:59,560
Speaker 2: Me, coach, kind of take me through what you thought

395
00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,919
Speaker 2: was the secret, or not even not even secret, just

396
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:04,640
Speaker 2: you know what brought you guys so much success last

397
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,800
Speaker 2: year that you're obviously trying to build off of and

398
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 2: go even higher head into this season.

399
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,639
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I would say won. We had good players.

400
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 6: Coaches are as important as players, I think everybody knows that,

401
00:20:17,200 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 6: and we had good players. I think two those players

402
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:24,360
Speaker 6: were all about the team. They were all about winning.

403
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,440
Speaker 6: They were all about each other, and they had real

404
00:20:27,520 --> 00:20:32,399
Speaker 6: relationships off the field, and that connectivity, you know, transpired

405
00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:35,679
Speaker 6: through passion on the field. And you could see we

406
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:38,679
Speaker 6: had really good players playing as hard as they could

407
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:41,679
Speaker 6: every single time they took the field. And when you

408
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,240
Speaker 6: do that, you're a tough out. You're a tough team

409
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,639
Speaker 6: to beat when you have good players playing as hard

410
00:20:46,640 --> 00:20:47,560
Speaker 6: as they can every snap.

411
00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 4: Coach, after the scrimmage on Saturday, you talked about the

412
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 4: history of Arizona State, the history of the program and

413
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,240
Speaker 4: trying to overcome that. How have you gone about instilling

414
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,720
Speaker 4: that philosophy and that mindset into your players.

415
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,040
Speaker 6: Well, I just tell the guys that you know, you

416
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 6: get we're getting all this hype, and that's rightfully deserved,

417
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:09,200
Speaker 6: and they deserve it all, but it all means nothing.

418
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 6: And every other team that's gotten this hype before you

419
00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 6: has followed to the expectations. And history tends to repeat itself.

420
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 6: So if we don't want to repeat history, we have

421
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,119
Speaker 6: to do what you know hasn't been done in the

422
00:21:25,160 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 6: past and block everything out and worry about right now,

423
00:21:28,600 --> 00:21:30,720
Speaker 6: worry about the day, the best version of us today,

424
00:21:30,800 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 6: and treat every day like it is the Super Bowl,

425
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 6: and if you just do that on repeat, we're gonna

426
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,920
Speaker 6: be the best version of us. And whatever happens happens.

427
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:42,119
Speaker 2: Hey, coach, you know, I think until your success last year,

428
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:43,840
Speaker 2: I don't know how many people kind of knew about

429
00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:47,600
Speaker 2: your story. Nationally, we've got a more early morning audience,

430
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,680
Speaker 2: but your Phoenix native you're all my monits there is

431
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 2: going to say. You've talked about always dreaming for this

432
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:54,159
Speaker 2: opportunity that you're in right now. Just talk to me

433
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:55,679
Speaker 2: about the journey to get to this point.

434
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:58,680
Speaker 6: Yeah, obviously born and raised here. I used to grow

435
00:21:58,720 --> 00:22:00,919
Speaker 6: up coming to games and watch and Jake Plummer and

436
00:22:00,960 --> 00:22:06,320
Speaker 6: playing catching, and you know the tailgating area and climb

437
00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,239
Speaker 6: this a little mountain up to the stadium. You had

438
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,239
Speaker 6: climbed the mountain to take the shortcut to get up

439
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:13,960
Speaker 6: there on game day. So I remember those as core memories.

440
00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:17,840
Speaker 6: And you know, I just was a high school coach

441
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 6: out here, then became a coffee boy here so and

442
00:22:21,600 --> 00:22:23,800
Speaker 6: then just kind of ran the racket of college football

443
00:22:24,040 --> 00:22:26,919
Speaker 6: in terms of moving around and you know, Memphis and

444
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,280
Speaker 6: Auburn for the state and Oregon, but this was always

445
00:22:30,280 --> 00:22:32,160
Speaker 6: a place that had a special place in my heart

446
00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:34,440
Speaker 6: because I used to climb the mountain to get here,

447
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 6: and I used to tail get here, and I used

448
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:37,879
Speaker 6: to be a fan of the stadiums, and I'm an

449
00:22:37,920 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 6: alumni and my wife's an alumni. So this was definitely

450
00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:43,200
Speaker 6: a place that I always, you know, dreamt of being

451
00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:45,200
Speaker 6: a part of, not just as a fan.

452
00:22:45,760 --> 00:22:48,159
Speaker 4: Arizona State head coach Kenny Dealingham with us here on

453
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,920
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. You mentioned Memphis, Auburn, also Florida State, Oregon.

454
00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:56,120
Speaker 4: What did you take from those programs that have sort

455
00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,400
Speaker 4: of the blue blood background that you've brought to Arizona

456
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:00,600
Speaker 4: State to try and bring in there.

457
00:23:01,359 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 6: Yeah, Memphis, I took the grit. I mean, our team

458
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:07,800
Speaker 6: there was just gritty, like the work was not too

459
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,040
Speaker 6: big for him. They were all about the work. So

460
00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 6: I took that mindset of the work and the grit.

461
00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,679
Speaker 6: When I went to Auburn, I took how do you

462
00:23:15,800 --> 00:23:20,400
Speaker 6: practice with really high level players and keeping them healthy? Right?

463
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,359
Speaker 6: I think Gus did a phenomenal job of keeping getting

464
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,479
Speaker 6: guys to the game and developing, but also keeping them healthy.

465
00:23:27,560 --> 00:23:29,360
Speaker 6: When I went to Florida State, you know, we took

466
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,760
Speaker 6: over the program at below and we were trying to

467
00:23:31,800 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 6: build it, and I took over perseverance and how if not,

468
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:38,960
Speaker 6: you're not just going to be show up everywhere and win.

469
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,200
Speaker 6: How it takes a process. And then you see coach Arvel,

470
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 6: you know, two years prior they went undefeated and his

471
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 6: process you know worked at that point and it still

472
00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:52,639
Speaker 6: is working. Uh. And then you go I go to

473
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 6: Oregon and we take over a team that's winning and

474
00:23:55,240 --> 00:23:58,680
Speaker 6: having success. And I learned from Dan how to look

475
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 6: at things from a defensive push effective and how to

476
00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 6: practice with a defensive mindset that's a little different than

477
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 6: the other coaches that've been with that were offense. Then

478
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 6: you see the fans support, and so for me, it

479
00:24:10,720 --> 00:24:13,199
Speaker 6: was I took a little bit of whether it was

480
00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:18,880
Speaker 6: a coaching experience or big picture experience, program experience, from

481
00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:21,200
Speaker 6: every little place I took and kind of molded it

482
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,920
Speaker 6: all into you know what we do here?

483
00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:25,680
Speaker 2: Well, coach, you've got one of the more refreshing styles,

484
00:24:25,800 --> 00:24:27,920
Speaker 2: especially for this era of college football, and the way

485
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:30,600
Speaker 2: you handle your team, talk to your players. I want

486
00:24:30,640 --> 00:24:33,199
Speaker 2: to talk about some of those players. Sam Levity transferred

487
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: in from Michigan State, had a phenomenal year last year.

488
00:24:36,440 --> 00:24:38,439
Speaker 2: How do you get, in your opinion, a quarterback up

489
00:24:38,440 --> 00:24:41,879
Speaker 2: the speed, so quick and operating and running your system

490
00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:42,679
Speaker 2: the way you wanted to?

491
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 6: Yeah, well does went the coach of Royal in terms

492
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,560
Speaker 6: of you know, his system and his ability to coach quarterbacks.

493
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:51,840
Speaker 6: But at the end of the day, you played the position.

494
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:55,200
Speaker 6: If you don't put in the work, it doesn't matter

495
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:59,160
Speaker 6: who your coach is and all that doesn't matter. And

496
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 6: Sam show and he put in an amount of work

497
00:25:03,280 --> 00:25:06,159
Speaker 6: that I don't know if I've ever seen before. Every

498
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 6: single day twenty four to seven. He was obsessed with

499
00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:14,199
Speaker 6: winning the quarterback job, with being the quarterback, whether that

500
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 6: was with his body, whether that was in the film room.

501
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,720
Speaker 6: He became obsessed with knowing everything. And I think that's

502
00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:23,639
Speaker 6: what separated him and what's taken him from people a

503
00:25:23,720 --> 00:25:27,440
Speaker 6: person that people don't know about to a person who's recognized.

504
00:25:27,960 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 6: I mean, he was top five and in IL sales

505
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 6: in the last month because the work he put in.

506
00:25:34,520 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 6: He deserves it. And there's nothing more gratifying as a

507
00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 6: coach and seeing kids who work at a level that's

508
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 6: just so elite, and then they start to get the

509
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 6: notoriety and they start to get the benefit out of

510
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,479
Speaker 6: that work. There's nothing more gratifying for me. So what

511
00:25:50,600 --> 00:25:52,720
Speaker 6: was our secret and how did we get him up

512
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,240
Speaker 6: to speed? He got himself up to speed. It was him.

513
00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:57,320
Speaker 6: It was his ability to be self driven. It was

514
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,560
Speaker 6: his drive, it was his want to be great. It

515
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 6: wasn't I Dillingham, it wasn't Morga's Royal, it was Sam

516
00:26:02,800 --> 00:26:03,080
Speaker 6: love It.

517
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:06,600
Speaker 4: Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham joining us here on

518
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:08,960
Speaker 4: Fox Sports Radio. So we're a little over a week

519
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:12,720
Speaker 4: away from the opener against Northern Arizona, and we've talked

520
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,679
Speaker 4: about you know, some people in the NFL they like

521
00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 4: the preseason and they don't think we need the preseason.

522
00:26:18,320 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 4: In college football, you don't get one. Do you feel

523
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:25,000
Speaker 4: prepared with no preseason game going into this year with

524
00:26:25,040 --> 00:26:26,919
Speaker 4: a lot of expectations for the program.

525
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:30,919
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean for me, I definitely feel prepared. It's

526
00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 6: game one. Without a preseason. You're trying to do these

527
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:37,560
Speaker 6: like mock scrimmages and all these other you know, unique

528
00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:40,159
Speaker 6: things to try to simulate game day, but nothing's like

529
00:26:40,200 --> 00:26:44,399
Speaker 6: game day and until it's game day. So it's definitely

530
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 6: one of the games that I'm the most nervous going

531
00:26:47,280 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 6: into is that first game, just because it's your first

532
00:26:51,080 --> 00:26:55,440
Speaker 6: game and you've had zero real game experience with this

533
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 6: new team. And regardless of how many returners you have back,

534
00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 6: every years a new year, every dynamic in your team's

535
00:27:03,200 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 6: a new dynamic, and regardless of how many people you

536
00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,199
Speaker 6: have backed, So there's definitely that piece of unknown that

537
00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 6: goes into the first game that you know, maybe with

538
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 6: some preseason you don't have. But I feel prepared. These

539
00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,720
Speaker 6: guys have worked their butts off this fall camp. We

540
00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 6: just concluded it. Today's actually the first day we're not

541
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,560
Speaker 6: in fall camp mode. So yeah, I'm just I'm excited

542
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,920
Speaker 6: to see these guys go out and play.

543
00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,200
Speaker 2: How excited to see Jordan Tyson back. Obviously a first

544
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,639
Speaker 2: team All Big twelve receiver last year for you guys,

545
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: he's viewed as one of the best in college football.

546
00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:36,320
Speaker 2: It's gonna be good getting back healthy.

547
00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,520
Speaker 6: I mean, we had a fluke deal last year. But

548
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:43,479
Speaker 6: up until that point, I believe weeks four through twelve

549
00:27:43,520 --> 00:27:46,120
Speaker 6: he was leading the country or at least top two.

550
00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:48,679
Speaker 6: But I thought it was leading the country and those

551
00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 6: are not eight weeks span for yards, and uh, that's

552
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,200
Speaker 6: what the testament is work Coach Ward. He's really brought

553
00:27:56,280 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 6: into to the work that Coach Hines Ward has you know,

554
00:28:00,359 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 6: instilled in him and what it takes to be successful.

555
00:28:02,920 --> 00:28:05,720
Speaker 6: And he's really doubled down and rung the bell and

556
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,600
Speaker 6: answered the challenge that Haines is put in front of him.

557
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 6: And once again, same thing I said about Sam, that's

558
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 6: a guy who just has shown up and he's worked.

559
00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:18,879
Speaker 6: He's get fifteen pounds this offseason. He's bigger, he's stronger,

560
00:28:18,960 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 6: he's fat. So he comes up and meets with me

561
00:28:20,840 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 6: when I meet with Sam, to learn coverages. So you know,

562
00:28:24,760 --> 00:28:28,879
Speaker 6: there's not a secret way to get better. And I

563
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,640
Speaker 6: think both of those guys embody the work, and when

564
00:28:31,640 --> 00:28:35,760
Speaker 6: you embody the work, usually success follows coach.

565
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:38,840
Speaker 4: One of our regular guests here on the show Pete Prisco.

566
00:28:38,960 --> 00:28:41,440
Speaker 4: He's an Arizona State alum. He's also a bit of

567
00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:46,600
Speaker 4: a curmudgeon, and you have gotten him excited about Arizona

568
00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 4: State football again.

569
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 3: He's all fired up.

570
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,280
Speaker 4: He was at the playoff game like he is back

571
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:56,160
Speaker 4: all in, fully invested, not literally, which we've gotten on

572
00:28:56,240 --> 00:29:01,080
Speaker 4: him for. But do you sense though there at ground

573
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 4: level that there's a changing of the Tide that you've

574
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,920
Speaker 4: helped and your players have helped bring back that program

575
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,400
Speaker 4: to where it was back during those Jake Plumber days.

576
00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:16,080
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, this team has definitely absolutely rejuvenized the valley.

577
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:22,360
Speaker 6: I mean, we have this city, it's absolutely fired up.

578
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 6: I mean, we have seventy five hundred new season tickets.

579
00:29:24,560 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 6: We've sold every premium seat in the stadium. We have

580
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 6: a ninety seven percent season ticket or ninety six percent

581
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:35,360
Speaker 6: season ticket renewal rate. We've already had fourteen thousand tickets

582
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,840
Speaker 6: downloaded student tickets, not all the other tickets, fourteen thousand

583
00:29:39,920 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 6: student tickets downloaded for a week one at an au.

584
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 6: Like when you drive around the city, people have Arizona

585
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:51,320
Speaker 6: state license plates, Arizona state flags. There is an unbelievable

586
00:29:51,480 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 6: resurgence of sun double Bride going on in this city

587
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:57,640
Speaker 6: right now, and you're doing it in a price that

588
00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 6: people retire in. I think Steve Sweyer used to say

589
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 6: when he was at Florida, and people work their whole

590
00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,040
Speaker 6: lives to move to Florida, I'm letting you do it

591
00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:10,040
Speaker 6: right now. As a high school kid, I copy paste

592
00:30:10,080 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 6: from one of the greatest coaches of all time. People

593
00:30:12,760 --> 00:30:15,840
Speaker 6: work their whole lives to move to Arizona, right, come

594
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:16,640
Speaker 6: do it in college.

595
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, is there a better place where

596
00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,640
Speaker 2: your program gets rolling? Just to have fun, the partying,

597
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 2: the student fan base. I mean it's a big school too,

598
00:30:25,920 --> 00:30:28,400
Speaker 2: so i'd imagine there's a good feel, a lot of

599
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,720
Speaker 2: good vibes going on campus right now for you guys.

600
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,120
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I mean our guys get Like they said,

601
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 6: when they got here, nobody knew who our guys were.

602
00:30:36,840 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 6: We were three and nine. Now everybody knows who are

603
00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 6: guys are are guys. I mean they go out and

604
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 6: they get treated, they get taken care of, you know,

605
00:30:47,040 --> 00:30:49,640
Speaker 6: just by people in general. They're like, Oh, that's Damian Alford.

606
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 6: Oh that's Been Colman, that's short and Tice, and that's

607
00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:55,760
Speaker 6: Sam Lovett whatever that is. And it's so fun to

608
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 6: see these guys who show it up and who said yes.

609
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 6: Everybody was saying no. You know, we really challenged people

610
00:31:03,480 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 6: three years ago to say yes when we're three and nine,

611
00:31:06,040 --> 00:31:08,400
Speaker 6: Say yes when we have NCAA sanctions, Say yes when

612
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 6: everybody's going to say no. And it's going to be

613
00:31:11,040 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 6: way more sweet when you get there. And we're not

614
00:31:13,440 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 6: there yet. But it's starting to become more sweet. And

615
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,400
Speaker 6: the challenge is can we block out the noise right

616
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 6: and can we just go to work? And you're going

617
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:25,760
Speaker 6: to leave the legacy here that lasts forever. And anytime

618
00:31:25,800 --> 00:31:28,200
Speaker 6: that you have an opportunity to do something that's really

619
00:31:28,280 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 6: never been done, that's special. A lot of places you

620
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,320

Speaker 6: have a chance to do something that's never been done.

622
00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:39,360

623
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,680
Speaker 6: you got to work like you've never worked. And that

624
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,840

Speaker 6: everything is here for us to really do something that's

626
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:49,960

665
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 4: this show a couple of years ago, by the way,

666
00:33:44,440 --> 00:33:49,560
Speaker 4: not picking on him, but also something that somebody, LeVar Arrington,

667
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,360
Speaker 4: dismissed on this show when we brought it up, all right,

668
00:33:52,480 --> 00:33:57,360
Speaker 4: So during the preseason, all right, one of the points

669
00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 4: that was made was this is why the pre season

670
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,200
Speaker 4: still matters, because guys that wouldn't get an opportunity to

671
00:34:04,200 --> 00:34:07,960
Speaker 4: play in actual games in a game environment actually get

672
00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 4: an opportunity to do so in the preseason. And one

673
00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 4: of those guys that was a bit of a star

674
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:19,759
Speaker 4: was Tyson Beigent. And Tyson Beagent, who was undrafted out

675
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:23,600
Speaker 4: of a Division two school called Shepherd in West Virginia,

676
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:28,640
Speaker 4: just got himself a two year extension with the Bears

677
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 4: worth up to sixteen million dollars. But it's looking like

678
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,560
Speaker 4: two years ten million dollars can be up to sixteen

679
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:41,040
Speaker 4: with incentives, and Tyson beagent talked yesterday about the deal

680
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:42,160
Speaker 4: for him and his family.

681
00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of.

682
00:34:42,760 --> 00:34:44,759
Speaker 12: People don't know this, but you know, my dad is

683
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:47,920
Speaker 12: my uh, he's my right hand man, and he didn't

684
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,720
Speaker 12: he didn't have running water until he was in high school.

685
00:34:50,760 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 2: So there's definitely a lot of things.

686
00:34:52,880 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 12: That and people that I could that I think I

687
00:34:56,040 --> 00:34:58,840
Speaker 12: could certainly help with this gift up and blessed with,

688
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:01,680
Speaker 12: but just little things like that. But you know, I

689
00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,560
Speaker 12: don't really know anybody back at home with any money.

690
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:06,359
Speaker 2: So yeah, it feels good.

691
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,719
Speaker 12: I mean, it's certainly a weight off my shoulders and

692
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,120
Speaker 12: my family shoulders, and yeah, definitely means a lot.

693
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:13,279
Speaker 3: How about that?

694
00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:18,080
Speaker 2: Awesome? Yeah, this is one of the cool stories and

695
00:35:18,080 --> 00:35:20,440
Speaker 2: one of the reasons why like I love sports is

696
00:35:20,640 --> 00:35:23,400
Speaker 2: you get a little bit of a window into the

697
00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:26,000
Speaker 2: journey of some of these young men behind the scenes

698
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,680
Speaker 2: and their support system. And so for him, it's life

699
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,879
Speaker 2: changing money for him and his family for everything that

700
00:35:34,160 --> 00:35:38,520
Speaker 2: Dave endured and struggled through and sacrificed, and he's played well.

701
00:35:38,600 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 2: When he's gotten his opportunities in particularly in the preseason,

702
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,359
Speaker 2: but also you know in some of the spot work

703
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:45,480
Speaker 2: that he had in particularly a couple of years ago,

704
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:49,239
Speaker 2: didn't really play much last year, so you know, he's

705
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:52,399
Speaker 2: an insurance policy for them. Although Bears fans should feel

706
00:35:52,400 --> 00:35:54,400
Speaker 2: good about where they're at, I think with how killed

707
00:35:54,440 --> 00:35:58,239
Speaker 2: Williams looked under Ben Johnson, this new head coach, his

708
00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:02,080
Speaker 2: offensive mind, what he's doing, the talent that's on this roster,

709
00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:06,040
Speaker 2: the quarterback they have, the backup quarterback that they have, like,

710
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 2: you are putting yourselves in a position to continue to

711
00:36:08,200 --> 00:36:11,680
Speaker 2: keep building this thing. My My only concern is that

712
00:36:11,960 --> 00:36:14,880
Speaker 2: sometimes when you've got some ownership that has made some

713
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:19,720
Speaker 2: questionable decisions in the past, is don't mess it up, Like,

714
00:36:19,960 --> 00:36:23,920
Speaker 2: don't interject into what Ryan Poles and Ben Johnson are building,

715
00:36:24,480 --> 00:36:27,920
Speaker 2: because I think they've got a pretty solid foundation. And

716
00:36:28,239 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: maybe we get back to a Bear's team being more

717
00:36:30,360 --> 00:36:32,839
Speaker 2: competitive than what we've seen in the past, and we'll

718
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 2: get to see what Caleb Williams is truly capable of being.

719
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:39,799
Speaker 2: If he is that generational talent myself and some other

720
00:36:39,840 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 2: people kind of called him to be coming into the NFL.

721
00:36:43,640 --> 00:36:47,640
Speaker 4: The story of Tyson Bagent is obviously a good one,

722
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,399
Speaker 4: and I was curious how it was going to play

723
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 4: out when Ben Johnson got there, because they signed case Keenum.

724
00:36:52,280 --> 00:36:53,759
Speaker 4: They signed him to I think like a one year,

725
00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,920
Speaker 4: three million dollar deal, and I thought, all right, well,

726
00:36:55,920 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 4: that's probably gonna be their veteran backup, so on and

727
00:36:58,520 --> 00:37:01,440
Speaker 4: so forth. And then you see the way he played

728
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 4: under Ben Johnson's system, and he was really good the

729
00:37:04,560 --> 00:37:09,360
Speaker 4: other night, and you've heard stuff from training camp that

730
00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:13,080
Speaker 4: he's performed really well. He's obviously he got opportunities when

731
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:16,120
Speaker 4: Justin Fields got banged up, and I believe the stat

732
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 4: was he became the first rookie to win his Bear's

733
00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,839
Speaker 4: debut in like nineteen years back in twenty twenty three,

734
00:37:22,560 --> 00:37:24,239
Speaker 4: and everybody loves him. And then you hear the way

735
00:37:24,280 --> 00:37:27,399
Speaker 4: Ben Johnson talks about him, and he loves the guy.

736
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,759
Speaker 4: And so to see even in an offseason where you've

737
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,840
Speaker 4: got a new coach and then you've got the addition

738
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:38,440
Speaker 4: of a veteran who's proven in the league, and still

739
00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,839
Speaker 4: you reward him with this type of deal, I think

740
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,279
Speaker 4: it shows you that Ben Johnson season goes Hey, man,

741
00:37:44,600 --> 00:37:46,640
Speaker 4: if need be, we can win games with this guy

742
00:37:46,800 --> 00:37:48,160
Speaker 4: and that's an important position that.

743
00:37:48,120 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 2: They didn't have. That's part of it. I think the

744
00:37:50,480 --> 00:37:53,400
Speaker 2: other thing is the third quarterback. When you look at

745
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: a quarterback room, most people just discount this completely. The

746
00:37:57,040 --> 00:38:00,120
Speaker 2: third quarterback really becomes a quarterback coach. Now, J T.

747
00:38:00,320 --> 00:38:03,640
Speaker 2: Barrett is there on the Chicago Bears coaching staff as

748
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:06,319
Speaker 2: their their quarterback coach. You know, didn't have a ton

749
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:09,400
Speaker 2: of NFL experience as far as playing. He's gotten into

750
00:38:09,440 --> 00:38:11,680
Speaker 2: the coaching ranks. He started with the Troy's done a

751
00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,799
Speaker 2: good job, I think, you know, learning the system and

752
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,719
Speaker 2: obviously getting Ben Johnson to trust him enough to be

753
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:19,480
Speaker 2: able to be that guy who's his vessel in the

754
00:38:19,560 --> 00:38:22,720
Speaker 2: quarterback room. But when you have a third string quarterback

755
00:38:22,800 --> 00:38:25,560
Speaker 2: like case Keenum or a veteran like that, there is

756
00:38:25,640 --> 00:38:28,319
Speaker 2: a world of experience, a world of experience that he's

757
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 2: going to be able to communicate to those younger players.

758
00:38:30,520 --> 00:38:32,759
Speaker 2: So that's the importance of having in there too.

759
00:38:33,239 --> 00:38:33,600
Speaker 3: Yeah.

760
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:36,920
Speaker 4: So and plus, I mean, listen, anybody whose dad is

761
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 4: an arm wrestling champion, you know, they deserve a little

762
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:42,000
Speaker 4: bit of love, right. I don't know, I don't know

763
00:38:42,040 --> 00:38:44,399
Speaker 4: what the top prize would be that you would win

764
00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:46,440
Speaker 4: in an arm wrestling competition.

765
00:38:46,320 --> 00:38:47,719
Speaker 3: Like leak, could you look that up?

766
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 4: Like, how much would somebody who wins like a national

767
00:38:51,080 --> 00:38:56,000
Speaker 4: arm wrestling competition win? It can't be all that much.

768
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,160
Speaker 4: And so to see that he's going to get you know,

769
00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 4: two years and ten million dollars used to take back

770
00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:01,400
Speaker 4: home to West.

771
00:39:01,320 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 3: Virginia and help the folks for.

772
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,719
Speaker 5: What was arm Wrestling League w A what was it?

773
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:09,280
Speaker 2: Over the top? Do we remember? Like the movie? Yeah,

774
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,320
