Some of these celebrities sightings 9 00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:31,960 Speaker 2: at the Formula one race in Las Vegas, Ben Affleck, 10 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:37,040 Speaker 2: jay Z, Beyonce. Quite an outfit on Beyonce. She can 11 00:00:37,120 --> 00:00:42,480 Speaker 2: drive my car anytime? What Naomi Campbell was there? Michael Douglas, 12 00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:47,880 Speaker 2: Jeremy Renner, Gordon Ramsay, Travis Scott, Magic Johnson, Mark Wahlberg, 13 00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:52,519 Speaker 2: Sierra and Ali Larder, just to name a few of 14 00:00:52,560 --> 00:00:56,600 Speaker 2: these celebrities there. Panthers and the Niners coming up tonight. 15 00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:59,880 Speaker 2: And oh, by the way, moment the Raiders have fired 16 00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:03,320 Speaker 2: the offensive coordinator, Chip Kelly. You may not have known 17 00:01:03,360 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 2: that he was with the Raiders. He was with Ohio 18 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:08,720 Speaker 2: State when they won a national championship and probably tripled 19 00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,440 Speaker 2: his pay going to the Raiders as the offensive coordinator 20 00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:15,920 Speaker 2: and he has been fired Chiefs over the Colts. We wondered. 21 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,479 Speaker 2: We wondered about the Colts in a big moment. You're 22 00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,920 Speaker 2: up twenty to nine, this is yours, this is your 23 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,520 Speaker 2: You're going to do the rest of the NFL favor. 24 00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 2: You're going to beat the Chiefs at the Chiefs and 25 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,720 Speaker 2: all of a sudden you lose that game. It's a 26 00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 2: double whammy, I think for the Colts because you just 27 00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 2: don't want to keep the Chiefs alive. 28 00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: You don't. 29 00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:41,440 Speaker 2: Nobody wants them alive in the AFC, and you kept 30 00:01:41,520 --> 00:01:45,679 Speaker 2: them alive. When Mahomes had the ball, I said, they're 31 00:01:45,720 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 2: going to win this game, and that's exactly what he does. 32 00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:53,360 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones, you kept waiting, and then all of a sudden, 33 00:01:53,800 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 2: it felt like that offense went stale, went conservative, and 34 00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:58,640 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. 35 00:01:59,080 --> 00:01:59,840 Speaker 3: You know, the Chiefs are. 36 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 2: Played playoff football right now. They have to because they're 37 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 2: not a great team. They're not a very good team, 38 00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,760 Speaker 2: but they're an opportunistic team. As long as you have 39 00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 2: Patrick Mahomes, you have a chance. The receivers are pretty good, 40 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:14,800 Speaker 2: defense is pretty good, and you got Andy Reid as well. 41 00:02:15,160 --> 00:02:17,400 Speaker 2: But the Chiefs could have done the AFC of favor 42 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:21,480 Speaker 2: there Cowboys over the Eagles. That's one of those where 43 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,520 Speaker 2: you go, wow, that was quick, twenty one nothing, But 44 00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 2: give credit Dak Prescott. This is what we asked for 45 00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:30,760 Speaker 2: with the Cowboys. That offense has been elite. All you're 46 00:02:30,800 --> 00:02:35,120 Speaker 2: looking for is an average defense and you're down twenty 47 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:39,200 Speaker 2: one to nothing. They looked average, below average, and then 48 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 2: all of a sudden they made some big stops, they 49 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,080 Speaker 2: got some turnovers there, and the Eagles once again, we 50 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:50,600 Speaker 2: have questions about them, got big questions about that team. 51 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 2: Here is Brian Schottenheimer talking about Dak Prescott. 52 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:57,800 Speaker 3: He's one of a time man, he really is. 53 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 4: Just his leadership is poised, the way he plays the game, 54 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 4: the way he always believes. You know, you talk about 55 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:06,560 Speaker 4: when some of your best players are the guys that 56 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,600 Speaker 4: believe the most and they know that they're going to 57 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 4: find a way and help raise the other guys that 58 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:13,640 Speaker 4: raise the standard. And we've got a lot of guys 59 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,960 Speaker 4: like that now. But I know he won't say it, 60 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,080 Speaker 4: but that's a pretty cool record that he broke in 61 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:20,640 Speaker 4: to do it on a game like this where we 62 00:03:20,720 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 4: beat a really good football team the way we did, 63 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 4: I'm sure makes it even sweeter. 64 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, he passes Tony Romo on the all time list 65 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:32,280 Speaker 2: yardage list there with the Dallas Cowboys. But you're watching 66 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:35,119 Speaker 2: this and I kept thinking, Okay, Saquon Barkley didn't even 67 00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,560 Speaker 2: get to thirty yards, had a fumble. I don't know 68 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:42,920 Speaker 2: how much blame you're putting on the quarterback or you're 69 00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 2: putting on the offensive coordinator, but feels like there's enough 70 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,240 Speaker 2: blame to go around. You know, all of a sudden, 71 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,760 Speaker 2: aj Brown scores a touchdown and go all right, everybody's 72 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,880 Speaker 2: going to be happy today. And then all of a sudden, 73 00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: Dallas played play off football because once again they're in 74 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 2: playoff form, or at least mode, you have to win. Now, 75 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: they have a couple other tough games coming up. You 76 00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 2: got the Chiefs coming up on Thanksgiving, you got the 77 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:12,240 Speaker 2: Lions after that. Let's just say they win those games. Now, 78 00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,520 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you got a real conversation here, 79 00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:17,960 Speaker 2: and that Chiefs game against the Cowboys will be probably 80 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: one of the top five most watched regular season games 81 00:04:21,880 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 2: in NFL history because it's Thanksgiving, it's the Cowboys, it's 82 00:04:26,760 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 2: the Chiefs. I had a couple other games that stood out. 83 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 2: The Rams look tremendous. The Buccaneers are banged up, and 84 00:04:34,480 --> 00:04:37,839 Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield may have gotten banged up in the process. 85 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 2: But Matthew Stafford right now, he is a clear favorite 86 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 2: for MVP. Bears beat the Steelers. Steelers without Aaron Rodgers 87 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:55,320 Speaker 2: there but Patriots, Lions and overtime the Packers, Seahawks, Ravens, Browns, Jags, Falcons. 88 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,360 Speaker 2: As far as the Browns go, you got enough out 89 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:00,719 Speaker 2: of Shootoor Sanders. I think you got almost one of 90 00:05:00,720 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 2: those morale boost like you got somebody who's going to 91 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,280 Speaker 2: come in. He's excited, not afraid to throw the ball downfield. 92 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:11,960 Speaker 2: He did okay, he did okay, and it's one of 93 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:15,240 Speaker 2: those where he helped the team win. They didn't win 94 00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:17,520 Speaker 2: in spite of him. But that defense is great. That 95 00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,400 Speaker 2: ten sacks, And this is where we almost look at 96 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 2: the opposite of the Dallas Cowboys. If the offense is 97 00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:29,799 Speaker 2: average with an elite defense, they should be really good. 98 00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 2: It's just they haven't had the offense. But you know, 99 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:37,640 Speaker 2: he had three big plays and what stood out is 100 00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:38,640 Speaker 2: going to sound strange. 101 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,320 Speaker 3: He didn't run, he didn't. 102 00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:44,320 Speaker 2: Try to do those crazy Let me extend a play 103 00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:47,240 Speaker 2: like I'm you know, back at Colorado, I think he 104 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,919 Speaker 2: had one rush for a minus one yards and he 105 00:05:50,960 --> 00:05:54,640 Speaker 2: didn't have an interception. But I mean, you're playing against 106 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: the Raiders who weren't very good, but you know, you 107 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,320 Speaker 2: should win those games, and they did, and give credit 108 00:06:01,360 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: to him, had a couple of big plays and for 109 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,680 Speaker 2: the most part, that defense was wonderful and because of 110 00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:11,640 Speaker 2: that you got that victory. Now, as far as who's 111 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:13,760 Speaker 2: going to start, I mean that's going to be the 112 00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,760 Speaker 2: big question for Kevin Stefanski, because, yeah, Dylan Gabriel because 113 00:06:18,760 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 2: of the concussion, wasn't playing. You're not supposed to lose 114 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:24,320 Speaker 2: your job because of an injury. But in this case, 115 00:06:24,360 --> 00:06:27,240 Speaker 2: I want to see a little bit more of Shadoor Sanders, 116 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:31,120 Speaker 2: and I think he's earned it. I don't think Dylan 117 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:33,320 Speaker 2: Gabriel's done anything where you go, yeah, you got to 118 00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:36,080 Speaker 2: go back to him, you don't. I would let Shadoor 119 00:06:36,120 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 2: Sanders play again, but I hope that we're just letting 120 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:44,080 Speaker 2: him play. Let's not have any stupid hot takes today. Okay, 121 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 2: he's just a quarterback right now. He acted like a 122 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 2: fifth round quarterback and he got a chance to play 123 00:06:51,960 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: with the first team. They had a game plan that 124 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:58,800 Speaker 2: they could give to him for him, and they ended 125 00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,920 Speaker 2: up winning that game. They got the Niners coming up next. 126 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,880 Speaker 2: Maybe we'll see a little bit more and that might 127 00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:08,479 Speaker 2: be a little bit more good and a little bit 128 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:09,120 Speaker 2: more bad. 129 00:07:09,200 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 3: But that goes along. 130 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:12,480 Speaker 2: With being a rookie quarterback. I don't care if you're 131 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:16,600 Speaker 2: the number one overall pick or you're a fifth round pick. 132 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 2: You're gonna have mistakes. I wanted to see the confidence, 133 00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:23,560 Speaker 2: and he had the confidence because he even said those 134 00:07:23,640 --> 00:07:26,640 Speaker 2: waiting for me to fail, I'm not going to fail. 135 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 2: But if I'm a teammate and if I'm Miles Garrett 136 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 2: and you go, you know we got something here, and 137 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: maybe they do. I mean, that defense is great. You're 138 00:07:36,640 --> 00:07:39,000 Speaker 2: gonna have the defensive player of the year. You're gonna 139 00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 2: have the defensive rookie of the year. And they hit 140 00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:46,800 Speaker 2: the quarterback twenty times. They had ten sacks. It felt 141 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,280 Speaker 2: like if you didn't get a sack, shame on you. 142 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:56,280 Speaker 2: So that game stood out only because this is his moment, 143 00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,920 Speaker 2: his dad's there in the building. You're playing against the 144 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,920 Speaker 2: team that I thought was going to draft him, and 145 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:04,480 Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, you hear revisionist history, where 146 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 2: Antonio Pierce says, well, if I was there, we would 147 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:13,000 Speaker 2: have drafted him. Coaches don't make the calls, especially relatively 148 00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:15,480 Speaker 2: new coaches don't make the calls on their quarterback. So 149 00:08:16,160 --> 00:08:19,880 Speaker 2: maybe he wanted Shore Sanders, but he wasn't going to 150 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,120 Speaker 2: be making the call there. All right, we'll get to 151 00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,400 Speaker 2: your phone calls, best and worst of the weekend. What 152 00:08:24,440 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 2: we saw that we liked, we didn't like. We play 153 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:29,280 Speaker 2: the waiting game for Lane Kiffen. We'll talk to Rick 154 00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:32,920 Speaker 2: new Heizol about that situation where depending on the day 155 00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 2: and the time, Lane Kiffin is staying he's gone to 156 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:39,120 Speaker 2: Old Men, or he's gone to LSU and he's going 157 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:43,160 Speaker 2: to Florida. I still go back to the documentary I 158 00:08:43,160 --> 00:08:45,560 Speaker 2: saw on the mother Ship, and it felt like Lane 159 00:08:45,679 --> 00:08:50,360 Speaker 2: Kiffin finally found out who Lane Kiffen was, and that 160 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:53,880 Speaker 2: is he was happy, had his family there, His ex 161 00:08:53,920 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 2: wife was, you know, in Oxford, Mississippi, his kids were there, 162 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 2: and it just felt like he found happiness, peace of mind. 163 00:09:03,559 --> 00:09:05,960 Speaker 2: But I don't even know, if you know, there's certain 164 00:09:06,440 --> 00:09:10,920 Speaker 2: head coaches that just don't understand that definition. Sometimes happiness 165 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:13,600 Speaker 2: and peace of mind is not being happy and not 166 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:15,720 Speaker 2: having peace of mind. It's going to the next job, 167 00:09:15,760 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 2: in the next job, in the next job. So yes, 168 00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,120 Speaker 2: you go from this amount of money to that amount 169 00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:25,040 Speaker 2: of money. You have ole miss in a historical season, 170 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:29,960 Speaker 2: and he's the distraction and we got to wait until 171 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,559 Speaker 2: after Friday's game to find out what he's going to do. 172 00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,880 Speaker 2: How can you make an offer to a coach who's 173 00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 2: under contract at another university. 174 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,079 Speaker 5: It's like what college football is. I don't think it's 175 00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:45,200 Speaker 5: a formal offer. It's probably like a verbal to the agent. 176 00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:47,920 Speaker 2: I would guess, Okay, but how are you making an 177 00:09:48,200 --> 00:09:52,840 Speaker 2: offer to the agent? Like, isn't that tampering? 178 00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 3: I don't think that rule is in place in college football. 179 00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:56,960 Speaker 3: I don't think they have tampering. 180 00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 2: Well, once again, somebody should just say no, you can't 181 00:10:00,840 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 2: talk to my guy. After the season, you can talk 182 00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 2: to my guy. 183 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,560 Speaker 6: Yes, it does seem like it shouldn't be difficult to 184 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,679 Speaker 6: have a certain window insteat of guidelines where you then 185 00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 6: you can talk to the coach and you can't talk 186 00:10:13,640 --> 00:10:14,199 Speaker 6: to the coach. 187 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,079 Speaker 2: Well, I don't think during a playoff run or you're 188 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,720 Speaker 2: getting ready to go into the playoffs should be the 189 00:10:20,760 --> 00:10:23,839 Speaker 2: time when you can talk to a coach. But look, 190 00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 2: this has been going on with college football for decades 191 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: and we'll continue to go on. But Lane Kiffin says 192 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:33,240 Speaker 2: he'll make up his mind after they play who is 193 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:34,599 Speaker 2: at Mississippi State. 194 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,200 Speaker 3: In the Egg Bowl? The Egg Bowl? Yeah, balling. 195 00:10:37,240 --> 00:10:39,880 Speaker 5: The real issue is Jimmy Sexton, the agent. He represents 196 00:10:39,880 --> 00:10:42,360 Speaker 5: a lot of different college football coaches and players and 197 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 5: pro coaches. He's stirring this drink for a two week 198 00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:49,240 Speaker 5: period so all his clients get placed in bigger roles. 199 00:10:49,559 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 5: He's basically ignoring all conventional rules of time and hiring 200 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 5: because it works out for all his clients. 201 00:10:56,400 --> 00:11:00,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, he's the kingmaker here, and there's gonna be a 202 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:03,240 Speaker 2: lot of guys feels they're waiting for all of this. 203 00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:06,400 Speaker 2: It's just a game of dominoes, where that one goes, 204 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:08,520 Speaker 2: then this one goes, then that one goes, and then 205 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,440 Speaker 2: all of a sudden, you're hopscotching all over the country. 206 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 2: And we always go back to the Oh, those kids 207 00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,320 Speaker 2: don't have loyalty, you know what they learn from the 208 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,200 Speaker 2: grown ups because the grownups not have loyalty either. Seeing 209 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:23,160 Speaker 2: what's the poll question here? In the first hour of 210 00:11:23,240 --> 00:11:24,280 Speaker 2: the program, got. 211 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 6: One here from Marvin Most surprising division leader. Colts, Broncos, Bears, Patriots, Bears. 212 00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:40,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, Bears. I think they're a good team. I do. 213 00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:44,120 Speaker 2: I think you're starting to see maybe a comfort level 214 00:11:44,320 --> 00:11:47,400 Speaker 2: with coach and quarterback. I think that relationship is going 215 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: to work out. I know there's been some people in 216 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:52,560 Speaker 2: my business who didn't think this was going to work out, 217 00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:55,280 Speaker 2: which was interesting because you only gave them a couple 218 00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,920 Speaker 2: of games before you make that declaration. This is going 219 00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,520 Speaker 2: to take a little bit of time for Caleb and 220 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 2: given what happened to him prior to Ben Johnson coming in, 221 00:12:05,520 --> 00:12:07,760 Speaker 2: I think he's he just has to get rid of 222 00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:09,960 Speaker 2: what he did at USC and understand what you have 223 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,480 Speaker 2: to do in the NFL. And the more he's able 224 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,240 Speaker 2: to do that, the more successful he's going to be. 225 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:17,959 Speaker 2: And he's got talent there, got a good tight end, 226 00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,559 Speaker 2: a couple of good receivers there, and you got Ben 227 00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:23,880 Speaker 2: Johnson helping you along the way. He kind of gives 228 00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,120 Speaker 2: you the answers to the test. But I would say 229 00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:30,800 Speaker 2: the Bears. You know, the Jaguars are probably the least 230 00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:35,839 Speaker 2: imposing seven win team right now, because I mean they 231 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,600 Speaker 2: won again and then I'm watching the game, and I'm like, 232 00:12:39,400 --> 00:12:42,720 Speaker 2: I still don't know what you know Jacksonville has with 233 00:12:42,760 --> 00:12:47,800 Speaker 2: Trevor Lawrence. I'll go all right, and then I'll go, oh, 234 00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 2: there's you know, it felt like there were three or 235 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 2: four of those moments where you went man and then 236 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 2: you went man, yeah, eton. 237 00:12:55,600 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean I would put the I would put 238 00:12:57,760 --> 00:13:01,440 Speaker 6: the Patriots up there too, four and thirteen last year, 239 00:13:01,600 --> 00:13:04,880 Speaker 6: ten and two this year, same division as the Bills, 240 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 6: who thought they would be down. 241 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 3: Yeah. 242 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:08,360 Speaker 6: I don't know that anybody really expected the Dolphins to 243 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,360 Speaker 6: be this terrible this year. But I think that's a 244 00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,640 Speaker 6: pretty surprising result. 245 00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:14,960 Speaker 2: Well, I think most people had the Lions going to 246 00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 2: the super Bowl, or they had the Packers in the playoffs. 247 00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 2: We thought the Vikings would be a little bit better. 248 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 2: Vikings have a problem. Vikings have a JJ McCarthy problem. 249 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 2: And this is a long term problem because you let 250 00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,880 Speaker 2: these other quarterbacks go. He's only in year two. Now, 251 00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:35,160 Speaker 2: only in year two. 252 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:35,800 Speaker 3: But then. 253 00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 2: At what point do you say, is he our future? 254 00:13:40,040 --> 00:13:42,560 Speaker 2: And I'm watching you got the best receiver in football. 255 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,200 Speaker 2: I mean, you have two of the best receivers in football. 256 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:50,880 Speaker 2: He just at times looks like he's vanilla like, there's 257 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,640 Speaker 2: not much you know where he's putting pressure on the defense. Now, 258 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 2: he did have a couple of really good pat throws. 259 00:13:56,960 --> 00:13:59,599 Speaker 2: He had one throw to Jefferson that was pretty incredible. 260 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,720 Speaker 2: So I don't know, you know, once again embryonic stages 261 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:05,600 Speaker 2: of these quarterbacks, rookie quarterbacks or a guy who didn't 262 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 2: play much, hasn't played that much. But you know, you 263 00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:12,439 Speaker 2: start to look at the other quarterbacks and the development 264 00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 2: of them, and the Vikings went all in on him, 265 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:21,920 Speaker 2: you know, Cousins goes, Danny Dimes goes, Yeah, Sam Darnold goes, 266 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:23,680 Speaker 2: you know, and then all of a sudden, you're like, 267 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 2: he's our guy. But I mean, you're locked in for 268 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 2: another year. But you wasted a first round, a high 269 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:35,600 Speaker 2: first round pick on him. And it goes back to 270 00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:38,520 Speaker 2: what I said. When he's at at Michigan, I don't 271 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,760 Speaker 2: think they ever ask him to win a game. 272 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:43,120 Speaker 3: Maybe they didn't need to. 273 00:14:43,600 --> 00:14:46,240 Speaker 2: He was good in the playoffs, but you know that 274 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: you're you're waiting for something there. And he's got talent, 275 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 2: got athleticism, you know, he's got all those things ingredients, 276 00:14:54,280 --> 00:14:57,400 Speaker 2: and he got a really good head coach. But it 277 00:14:57,440 --> 00:14:58,680 Speaker 2: feels like they got a problem. 278 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: Be sure to the live edition of The Dan Patrick 279 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,560 Speaker 1: Show weekdays at nine am Eastern six am Pacific on 280 00:15:05,680 --> 00:15:08,440 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio and the iHeartRadio app. 281 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:13,040 Speaker 7: Hey, this is Jason McIntyre.

And I know the skeptics 305 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 8: out there will say, well, he had one hundred and 306 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,960 Speaker 8: forty six yards of you know, yards after the catch, 307 00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 8: and he had a bad interception. But when you watch 308 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:36,200 Speaker 8: the actual game and you watched how the team responded 309 00:16:36,240 --> 00:16:39,680 Speaker 8: to him, you haven't seen that from a quarterback at 310 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,119 Speaker 8: the starting position for the Clinton. 311 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 3: Browns and quite some time. 312 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 8: And it's just so it's a it's an interesting thing 313 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 8: because when you love the game of football, sometimes the 314 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 8: game will love you back. 315 00:16:50,440 --> 00:16:51,920 Speaker 3: Not always, but sometimes it does. 316 00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,960 Speaker 8: And when you look at Shader's situation, come into the season, 317 00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 8: Joe Flacco is a starter. He's not there anymore. He's 318 00:16:57,160 --> 00:16:59,400 Speaker 8: in he's in Cincinnati. Canny Pickett is the guy they 319 00:16:59,440 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 8: wanted to. 320 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 3: Be the starter. He got hurt in training camp. 321 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:04,040 Speaker 8: Then Dylan Gabriel comes in, the guy that the head 322 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:07,040 Speaker 8: coach clearly prefers and loves, and he gets hurt and 323 00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 8: gets a concussion. So when you get your opportunity to 324 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,520 Speaker 8: have your first full week of practice reps with the 325 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 8: number one offense and you go out there and you 326 00:17:13,560 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 8: perform the way that he did to me. That just 327 00:17:16,040 --> 00:17:18,120 Speaker 8: shows you when the team responds to you, they play 328 00:17:18,160 --> 00:17:20,800 Speaker 8: with more purpose, they play with more excitement. The defense 329 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 8: comes away with ten sacks. I think you have the 330 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,960 Speaker 8: guy in the building right now that should be the 331 00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:29,600 Speaker 8: starter for the remainder of the season. And the big thing, Dan, 332 00:17:30,280 --> 00:17:32,959 Speaker 8: it wasn't just like, hey, take the simple stuff. It 333 00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:37,560 Speaker 8: was the extended plays, the big playmaking on the broken 334 00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:41,080 Speaker 8: plays that they've been missing this entire season that Shader 335 00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:43,360 Speaker 8: was able to pull off. And I think that's why 336 00:17:43,359 --> 00:17:44,080 Speaker 8: he should be the starter. 337 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 3: What do you think of this idea? 338 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:50,560 Speaker 2: If I treat the NFL MVP like the Heisman and 339 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,120 Speaker 2: I invite Matthew Stafford, Jamiir Gibbs, Drake May, Jackson Smith, Jigma, 340 00:17:56,359 --> 00:18:01,159 Speaker 2: and Miles Garrett. Okay, you think if those guys are 341 00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 2: all there and we make the announcement of the MVP. 342 00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:07,680 Speaker 2: So I know, Jamiir Gibbs isn't gonna win, or Smith, no, Jigma, 343 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: Miles Garrett because he's a defensive player, but to have 344 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:14,720 Speaker 2: representation would be great at multiple positions. 345 00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:15,440 Speaker 3: What do you think. 346 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,600 Speaker 8: Yeah, I was gonna say, but why not. You know 347 00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:21,399 Speaker 8: we've gotten stuck on this. Hey, the quarterback has to 348 00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 8: win the MVP or the quarterback has to win the 349 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 8: Heisman Trophy, and I don't think. 350 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,040 Speaker 3: I don't think that's the case at all. 351 00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,159 Speaker 8: Right now, when you talk about the Heisman Trophy, the 352 00:18:31,400 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 8: top two guys on my list are Jacob Rodriguez, the 353 00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:36,959 Speaker 8: linebacker from Texas Tech, and Jeremiah Love, the running back 354 00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,120 Speaker 8: from Notre Dame. So I don't know why we have 355 00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,480 Speaker 8: to be stuck into that. I understand that quarterbacks are 356 00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 8: the sexy pick, right They sell more jerseys, they more 357 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 8: people know who the quarterbacks are. But I tweeted out 358 00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:54,399 Speaker 8: yesterday that I think Jackson Smith and Jigma should be 359 00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:55,400 Speaker 8: on everybody's list. 360 00:18:55,720 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: Now. I do believe that Matt Stafford should be at 361 00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 3: the top. 362 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 8: Everybody's list because I don't think anyone's playing quarterback better 363 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 8: than he is right now. 364 00:19:03,960 --> 00:19:05,440 Speaker 3: And the Rams are absolutely rolling. 365 00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:08,159 Speaker 8: But when you look at Miles Garrett, the only thing 366 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 8: that could maybe prevent him from winning MVP is the 367 00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:15,479 Speaker 8: Browns record eighteen sacks in eleven games is unheard of. 368 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:19,560 Speaker 8: He is going to absolutely smash my colleague Michael Strahan's 369 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:22,399 Speaker 8: record when it comes to sacks in a season. But 370 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,119 Speaker 8: I think all these guys, when you have these super 371 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 8: impressive years, Saquon Barkley last year, I felt like should 372 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:33,040 Speaker 8: have been probably should have won NFL MVP. So I 373 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,920 Speaker 8: am not a guy and I've been I don't want 374 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,879 Speaker 8: to say maligned for it, but I have been chastised 375 00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,640 Speaker 8: for it by some of my colleagues on my stops 376 00:19:42,119 --> 00:19:45,560 Speaker 8: about putting guys that are not quarterbacks in that MVP race. 377 00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:48,600 Speaker 8: But this year shows you exactly what you're talking about. 378 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 8: Dan running backs, wide receivers, defensive ends, Well, they should 379 00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:55,239 Speaker 8: all be in that conversation. And why not make it 380 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:58,080 Speaker 8: more of an event to go out and be able 381 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,359 Speaker 8: to announce the NFL MVP and truly tell those guys 382 00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:03,080 Speaker 8: stories in a unique way, just like we do with 383 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:03,840 Speaker 8: the Heisman Trophy. 384 00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: Should we be focus focusing more on the Cowboys come 385 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:09,800 Speaker 2: back or the Eagles collapse? 386 00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 8: I think it should be focusing on the Cowboys comeback. 387 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,480 Speaker 8: I will say this about the Eagles. If people were 388 00:20:17,560 --> 00:20:19,639 Speaker 8: upset that they were eight and two, oh, they're definitely 389 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:21,439 Speaker 8: upset now that they're they're eight and three and they 390 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:23,080 Speaker 8: gave up twenty four nunsid points to. 391 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 3: Their division rival. 392 00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:27,280 Speaker 8: I do believe that Jalen Hurts and the criticism around 393 00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:29,800 Speaker 8: him has it's not just unfair, because then we know 394 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,840 Speaker 8: this life is not fair, right, it's it is what 395 00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 8: it is. But I just think it's not justified. There's 396 00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:37,199 Speaker 8: a lot of teams that wish they could be eight 397 00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:40,119 Speaker 8: and three right now, and Jalen Hurts shouldn't be getting 398 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:41,479 Speaker 8: some of the criticism that he is. 399 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,679 Speaker 3: But to focus on the Cowboys. 400 00:20:45,080 --> 00:20:47,960 Speaker 8: How amazing of a pickup has George Pickens been? 401 00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:51,040 Speaker 3: I mean, when you look at receivers. 402 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 8: And this is something my coaches are talking all the time, 403 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,760 Speaker 8: don't just look at a guy's catches in his yards, 404 00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:58,399 Speaker 8: look at his targets and how many, what share or 405 00:20:58,440 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 8: percentage of his targets is the actually catching? Do you 406 00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 8: have to throw it to him fifteen times for him 407 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:08,200 Speaker 8: to catch ten of them? And Pickings last night nine targets, 408 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:11,560 Speaker 8: nine catches, one hundred and forty six yards and talk 409 00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 8: about efficiency for them to come back the way that 410 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,119 Speaker 8: they did, I think he was a big part of that. 411 00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,160 Speaker 8: Dak is obviously playing at an extremely high level, funniest 412 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 8: thing I saw on the internet though, was the Eagles 413 00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 8: posting a wall of all their defenders and saying, Who's 414 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:28,160 Speaker 8: going to get past this? 415 00:21:28,680 --> 00:21:32,080 Speaker 9: And after the Cowboys won, they posted a picture of 416 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:36,360 Speaker 9: Dak Prescott as the Kool Aid Man and that made 417 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 9: me last harder than anything yesterday. 418 00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 3: So that was pretty epic. 419 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:43,560 Speaker 8: They definitely won the day on Twitter for the Cowboys 420 00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 8: social media team. 421 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,680 Speaker 2: Okay, but why do the Steelers move on from George Pickens? 422 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:50,359 Speaker 2: And would you give him a long term deal if 423 00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:51,360 Speaker 2: you're Jerry Jones. 424 00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:56,199 Speaker 8: I mean, Jerry Jones wouldn't give Michael Parts as a 425 00:21:56,200 --> 00:22:00,320 Speaker 8: long term deal. But I think when you have wide receivers, 426 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:03,359 Speaker 8: you have to be willing to manage good with the bad. 427 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:08,240 Speaker 8: And I think in Pittsburgh George Pickens had kind of 428 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:11,880 Speaker 8: wore out as welcome. I think they felt like they 429 00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 8: were on an Antonio Brown track with him there. And 430 00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:19,800 Speaker 8: you have to give Pickens credit because I know they're 431 00:22:19,800 --> 00:22:22,119 Speaker 8: gonna people are gonna, you know, kill the Steelers are 432 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:23,480 Speaker 8: saying why would you get rid of this guy? 433 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:25,679 Speaker 3: You just got to understand all the stuff that was 434 00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,400 Speaker 3: going on there. 435 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,240 Speaker 8: And now Pickens has come to the Dallas Cowboy was 436 00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 8: a team that most would say doesn't have a great 437 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:35,400 Speaker 8: team culture, and he's been a great teammate. 438 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,199 Speaker 3: So I just took my. 439 00:22:37,560 --> 00:22:40,479 Speaker 8: Cap to Pickens to say to see him mature so 440 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,760 Speaker 8: much in just a year. I think Ceedee Lamb has 441 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,320 Speaker 8: a lot to do with that as well. And you 442 00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:49,200 Speaker 8: know when you go to Dallas as a receiver, there's 443 00:22:49,240 --> 00:22:52,680 Speaker 8: one thing you will get, it's your numbers. And I 444 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:58,280 Speaker 8: think I have had to manage receivers who all want 445 00:22:58,320 --> 00:23:01,359 Speaker 8: the ball and the alas lovel I had four guys 446 00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,719 Speaker 8: that could all have one hundred catches in a season. 447 00:23:04,119 --> 00:23:05,440 Speaker 3: I didn't quite have that in the NFL. 448 00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,720 Speaker 8: But you have to learn to manage those situations and 449 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:12,240 Speaker 8: those relationships while trying to win and trying to help 450 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,640 Speaker 8: those receivers get paid. And I think Pickens is very 451 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:20,640 Speaker 8: very thankful for Dak Prescott because not only are they winning, 452 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 8: but he's also getting his numbers, which is going to 453 00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:23,920 Speaker 8: change his life. 454 00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:28,000 Speaker 2: Talking to RG three, his out of pocket podcast are 455 00:23:28,119 --> 00:23:31,200 Speaker 2: out of pocket with RG three, wherever you get your podcast, 456 00:23:31,480 --> 00:23:34,119 Speaker 2: give me the team or teams you're just not quite 457 00:23:34,200 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 2: sure of right now. 458 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:39,240 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, and they're not going to like this one. 459 00:23:39,280 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 8: But it's still for me the Indianapolis Colts, and the 460 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:49,199 Speaker 8: reason I say that is they had a very unique 461 00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:53,800 Speaker 8: opportunity this past weekend to beat Patrick Mahomes and the 462 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,680 Speaker 8: Kansiity Chiefs in the way that no one thought they 463 00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:01,399 Speaker 8: could beat them. And for Daniel Jones, he's proved a 464 00:24:01,400 --> 00:24:03,920 Speaker 8: lot of people wrong, including myself, with the way that. 465 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:05,040 Speaker 3: He's played this year. 466 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:08,040 Speaker 8: But he started hot, and over the past couple of 467 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 8: weeks he started to cool off just a little bit 468 00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 8: and maybe come back down. 469 00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:15,600 Speaker 3: To earth, but he's played his tail off. 470 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,960 Speaker 8: I had him in the MVP race a couple of 471 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 8: weeks ago because listen, when you Dan, you know this, 472 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 8: when you're wrong about something, you gotta admit it. And 473 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,560 Speaker 8: I did not think that he would play as well 474 00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:26,159 Speaker 8: as he had with the Colts. But the knock on 475 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,360 Speaker 8: him was the same knock that was on Sam Donald, 476 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,280 Speaker 8: you know, the same knock that's been on other guys 477 00:24:31,320 --> 00:24:33,600 Speaker 8: that have gone places and had extreme success in the 478 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 8: regular season, but then when they get in those big 479 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,480 Speaker 8: time playoff matchups, they don't quite live up to the expectation. 480 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:42,960 Speaker 8: And this, to me was a playoff game for the Colts, 481 00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 8: and they had the Chiefs beat and they came back. 482 00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:49,359 Speaker 8: Patrick Mahomes through for three hundred and fifty two yards, 483 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:53,400 Speaker 8: no touchdowns, but they were able to call themselves back 484 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 8: from an eleven point deficit and win the game. And 485 00:24:56,119 --> 00:24:59,000 Speaker 8: that to me was a sign of like, can Daniel Jones? 486 00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:03,880 Speaker 8: Can he closed the door on a big time quarterback, 487 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:06,959 Speaker 8: the best that we have I think in the galaxy still. 488 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,040 Speaker 8: I know Stafford is playing the best right now, but 489 00:25:09,080 --> 00:25:11,639 Speaker 8: Mahomes is on pace to be the greatest ever and 490 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 8: he couldn't do it on the Chiefs off day. That 491 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,679 Speaker 8: to me was the thing. We're like, Man, I'm just 492 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:21,480 Speaker 8: not sure about them as a whole competing in the 493 00:25:21,520 --> 00:25:24,960 Speaker 8: playoffs if they couldn't beat this version of the Kansaity Chiefs. 494 00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:29,959 Speaker 2: Explain to me Matthew Stafford at this age doing what 495 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:30,560 Speaker 2: he's doing. 496 00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, I said it yesterday. 497 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:36,600 Speaker 8: I don't think I can remember a quarterback with his 498 00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:40,159 Speaker 8: level of arm talent that's played this well at the 499 00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:41,440 Speaker 8: age of thirty seven years old. 500 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,760 Speaker 3: But explain arm talent? What are we talking about When 501 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:45,840 Speaker 3: people say arm talent? 502 00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:49,199 Speaker 8: There's varying different variations of it, Like is it a 503 00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,200 Speaker 8: strong arm? Is it the arm angles? Is it the timing, 504 00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:55,400 Speaker 8: is it the flick of the wrist, is the way 505 00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:58,000 Speaker 8: it looks when you make those throws. I think he 506 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,960 Speaker 8: has all of that, and he playing better than I 507 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,040 Speaker 8: think he's ever played in his career. So when I 508 00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 8: watched the game, you know, some guys they dropped back, Hey, 509 00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:09,440 Speaker 8: rhythm and feet, clean eyes, clean feet. He's getting there 510 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,359 Speaker 8: in the second hitch when he's supposed to like Stafford, 511 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:14,120 Speaker 8: It's like poetry in motion. 512 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,600 Speaker 3: You know. I'm like, damn, that was a good throw. 513 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,639 Speaker 8: Like he he made the two box he made the 514 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 8: two fade throws to DeVante Adams and the second one 515 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,800 Speaker 8: where DeVante ran up the tunnel. It was an extended 516 00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:33,320 Speaker 8: handoff when he threw it, I said, oh, that was beautiful. 517 00:26:33,640 --> 00:26:36,159 Speaker 8: Devonte hadn't even caught the ball yet, but I just 518 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,399 Speaker 8: knew watching the throw and the way that he he 519 00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 8: put He puts a little style at the end of 520 00:26:41,640 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 8: some of his throws, and you know, coaches would talk 521 00:26:45,119 --> 00:26:47,080 Speaker 8: to me about that, like, you know as a quarterback 522 00:26:47,119 --> 00:26:50,919 Speaker 8: when ooh I got him, Yeah, I didn't pull the string. 523 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 8: I dropped it in the bucket. And when you watch 524 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,440 Speaker 8: him make those kind of throws, you're almost certain he's 525 00:26:56,440 --> 00:27:01,159 Speaker 8: going to complete every single pass to me. His arm talent, 526 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,720 Speaker 8: he's the king of the no look throw. I know 527 00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,120 Speaker 8: we all praise Patrick Mahomes for it, but Stafford's doing 528 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:09,679 Speaker 8: it like eight times a game, and he's doing it 529 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 8: with his helmet stripe. So he'll throw over here, but 530 00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,760 Speaker 8: his helmet stripe is this way, and his eyes are 531 00:27:14,800 --> 00:27:17,880 Speaker 8: over here, and like most guys try that, they throw 532 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:21,840 Speaker 8: interceptions because you can't peripherally see who's all back here. 533 00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,960 Speaker 8: So I've just been completely amazed, to be quite honest, 534 00:27:25,960 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 8: with what Stafford has done. It's hard for guys to 535 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 8: carry that arm talent into their late thirties early forties, 536 00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 8: and we saw that with Peyton, we saw that with 537 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,920 Speaker 8: Tom and now we're seeing Stafford defy all those odds 538 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:41,479 Speaker 8: and he looks like he could play for another five, six, 539 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,240 Speaker 8: seven years the way he's playing this year. 540 00:27:43,480 --> 00:27:48,560 Speaker 3: Best team in the NFL is wow. Best team in 541 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:49,920 Speaker 3: the NFL. LA Rams. 542 00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:55,120 Speaker 8: I really believe they when you look at the way 543 00:27:55,119 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 8: they're structured. Two number one receivers and DeVante Adams and 544 00:27:58,080 --> 00:28:01,960 Speaker 8: Pukinacua quarterbacks playing at the MVP level. Two running backs 545 00:28:01,960 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 8: and Blake Korn and Kiren that are that give you 546 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,920 Speaker 8: everything you absolutely need and their defense is just smothering. 547 00:28:09,240 --> 00:28:12,040 Speaker 3: I mean, I felt bad for Baker with the shoulder. 548 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,159 Speaker 8: Don't know what the injury prognosis is going to be 549 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:17,920 Speaker 8: for him, but it was almost as if he was 550 00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:22,840 Speaker 8: out there fending for himself. That this Rams team. I 551 00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:24,800 Speaker 8: know they don't have Aaron Donald and I know they 552 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:26,320 Speaker 8: won a Super Bowl, but this might be the best 553 00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 8: Rams team that Sean McVay has ever had. 554 00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:31,240 Speaker 2: Did you ever kid around with Andrew Luck beating me 555 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:32,160 Speaker 2: Mount for the Heisman? 556 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:33,920 Speaker 3: Yeah? 557 00:28:34,040 --> 00:28:37,119 Speaker 8: We me and Andrew go way back. We were in 558 00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:41,320 Speaker 8: Texas competing. We never played against each other, but I've 559 00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,440 Speaker 8: known ed you for a really long time, and when 560 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:45,080 Speaker 8: we got to the Heisman, it was you know, he 561 00:28:45,160 --> 00:28:47,440 Speaker 8: was the guy that everybody thought was gonna win for 562 00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:50,880 Speaker 8: the past three years when we got there, and he 563 00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 8: definitely wanted to win that award. 564 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:54,720 Speaker 3: It just so happened that we had a better year. 565 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,400 Speaker 5: Paulie, Do you have the voting, Yeah, he got them 566 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,280 Speaker 5: by about two two hundred votes, is pretty close. 567 00:29:03,280 --> 00:29:06,400 Speaker 2: Bea don't joke around with Andrew with a few. 568 00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,640 Speaker 8: I am not the guy that pokes and pride of 569 00:29:08,680 --> 00:29:11,080 Speaker 8: guys about the heismand trophy. I look at it more 570 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 8: as an honor as opposed to, hey, I want it, 571 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:18,080 Speaker 8: you didn't. And I actually took everybody out. So they 572 00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:21,680 Speaker 8: give you an opportunity to take a limo by yourself, 573 00:29:21,760 --> 00:29:24,479 Speaker 8: go out in town, have fun with your people, or 574 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,680 Speaker 8: you can get limos for everybody and everybody can go 575 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:31,520 Speaker 8: out on the town. So I chose to bring everybody out. 576 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:35,480 Speaker 8: Monti Ball, Tire, Matthew, Andrew Lock, Trent Richardson, and we 577 00:29:35,560 --> 00:29:38,440 Speaker 8: had a great time on the city there in New York. 578 00:29:39,480 --> 00:29:41,520 Speaker 8: But it's been cool to watch Andrew, you know, at 579 00:29:41,560 --> 00:29:44,959 Speaker 8: Stanford being the general manager and the reaction he had 580 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,320 Speaker 8: on the sideline this this past weekend with the scoop 581 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:51,400 Speaker 8: and score shows you how much he loves football. And 582 00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:53,440 Speaker 8: I'm happy for him because at the end of the day, 583 00:29:53,440 --> 00:29:57,959 Speaker 8: this guy retired early, right, he retired early when everyone 584 00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,440 Speaker 8: thought he was at the prime of his career because 585 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:03,720 Speaker 8: he didn't love football anymore. So it's awesome to see 586 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 8: him back in love of football. 587 00:30:06,360 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 3: Could you see him being the head coach at Stanford 588 00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 3: next year? Yeah? I mean's are pretty much is that's. 589 00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 2: Pretty much just that's what I felt like he gets 590 00:30:16,840 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 2: so into it, he's so close that that's as close 591 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:22,400 Speaker 2: as you can get to the action by being the 592 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 2: head coach. So he could take that Standford job, and Dan. 593 00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,200 Speaker 8: Don't you think it's the smartest way to do it? 594 00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,440 Speaker 8: Like he's a general manager, they're interviewing him on the sideline. 595 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,640 Speaker 8: How many other general managers are getting interviewed in the 596 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 8: middle of the game. 597 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:35,560 Speaker 1: I know. 598 00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:40,640 Speaker 8: The team isn't that good this year, what they could 599 00:30:40,720 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 8: potentially be really good over the next couple of years, 600 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,240 Speaker 8: and then he just waltzes right in there, puts the 601 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,360 Speaker 8: head coach hat on, and now he doesn't have to 602 00:30:47,360 --> 00:30:50,960 Speaker 8: take those losses on his record. He can have he 603 00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 8: can have a good team and go out there and 604 00:30:53,400 --> 00:30:55,080 Speaker 8: make it happen. I'm really happy for him. 605 00:30:55,520 --> 00:30:59,360 Speaker 3: Good to talk to you. Thank you, Happy Thanksgiving, Happy Thanksgiving, 606 00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 3: God bless. 607 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,120 Speaker 2: That's Robert Griffin Junior, the third. 608 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,360 Speaker 1: Fox Sports Radio has the best sports talk lineup in 609 00:31:05,400 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: the nation.

We are ready? 613 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:20,880 Speaker 2: Okay, I'm not seeing Rick's face here? Is he not 614 00:31:21,080 --> 00:31:24,600 Speaker 2: able to come. So this is just a phone interview. 615 00:31:24,640 --> 00:31:25,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, he's having trouble with his camera. 616 00:31:25,960 --> 00:31:26,920 Speaker 6: He's got to do audio only. 617 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:29,840 Speaker 2: Okay, that's fine, all right, all right, Rick, So I 618 00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:32,600 Speaker 2: can't see you, but I can hear you here. We 619 00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,840 Speaker 2: are on them on Elane Kiffin supposed to make his 620 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 2: decision by Friday, maybe Saturday. What do you think that 621 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:40,320 Speaker 2: decision will be. 622 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 10: I had originally thought Dan that he was going to 623 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:47,040 Speaker 10: go to Florida. I think that was kind of always 624 00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,120 Speaker 10: in the back of his mind what he wanted to do. 625 00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 3: But the more I'm. 626 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:54,960 Speaker 10: Listening to those who act like they're in the know 627 00:31:55,360 --> 00:31:59,560 Speaker 10: in the coaching fraternity more, I think LSU is the favorite. 628 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 10: I think LSU is in a state of desperation given 629 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:08,080 Speaker 10: all the annex that have taken place there, and I know, 630 00:32:09,080 --> 00:32:14,840 Speaker 10: given my conversations with Nick Saban, what sort of personnel 631 00:32:14,960 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 10: you can put together in the state of Louisiana as 632 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,080 Speaker 10: the only you know, power for school from that state 633 00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 10: and the amount of talent that exists in that state. 634 00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,600 Speaker 10: So I just think probably LSU right now is the 635 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 10: leaning is the favorite. But I won't be shocked if 636 00:32:28,880 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 10: it's Florida or LSU. I will be shocked if it's 637 00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 10: ole Miss. 638 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm just trying to understand this. 639 00:32:34,040 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: And I brought this up on the show that documentary 640 00:32:36,600 --> 00:32:40,160 Speaker 2: ESPN did on Lane and finding happiness and peace of 641 00:32:40,200 --> 00:32:43,040 Speaker 2: mind and his family and everything was great in Oxford 642 00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 2: and then. But I don't know what it is about 643 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:48,720 Speaker 2: the makeup of a lot of you coaches. It's all right, 644 00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:51,400 Speaker 2: I did, I accomplish what I wanted to hear. Now 645 00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:53,760 Speaker 2: I have to move like you have to keep moving. 646 00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 2: What is that characteristic trait that it almost seems like 647 00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: it's from burd with some of these coaches. 648 00:33:02,360 --> 00:33:05,760 Speaker 10: Steve Mariucci came to the University of Washington for a 649 00:33:05,760 --> 00:33:08,440 Speaker 10: pro day. He was looking at Marcus tuiasa Sopo and 650 00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,720 Speaker 10: he sat there and he said, you know, we should 651 00:33:10,760 --> 00:33:14,880 Speaker 10: be in like politicians. We should have a four year term. 652 00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 10: If we're successful, we should get re elected, and then 653 00:33:18,200 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 10: we should have term limits and go someplace else, because 654 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,560 Speaker 10: at the end of eight years, all you've done is 655 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:27,400 Speaker 10: built up expectations that if you make it, you're okay. 656 00:33:27,440 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 10: It's relief instead of jubilation, and you should be able 657 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 10: to go somewhere else and build it again and hopefully 658 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 10: get another fan base that's excited about you, rather than 659 00:33:37,480 --> 00:33:41,680 Speaker 10: now disappointed that you're anxious that you're humbering around the 660 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:46,120 Speaker 10: Mason Dixon line. Dabo Sweeney would be an example of that, right. So, 661 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:49,560 Speaker 10: I just think that Lane is at a situation now 662 00:33:49,640 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 10: where he's got this amazing power. And then I also 663 00:33:53,120 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 10: think we have to point at the agent here. Jimmy 664 00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:01,560 Speaker 10: Sexton is playing this thing like a master violinist. 665 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:03,280 Speaker 3: I mean he is. 666 00:34:03,560 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 10: It's a concerto. I mean he's got He's got Kaitlin 667 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,040 Speaker 10: de Boor's name in this thing. As interested in potentially 668 00:34:11,040 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 10: going to Penn State. That creates another suitor for Lane. 669 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:17,279 Speaker 10: If Alabama became open and all of a sudden, now 670 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:19,400 Speaker 10: all these different people are trying to hang on to 671 00:34:19,520 --> 00:34:23,120 Speaker 10: their guy, and Jimmy's clients are sitting there, they're all 672 00:34:23,160 --> 00:34:25,600 Speaker 10: going to get the benefit of a new market that 673 00:34:25,640 --> 00:34:31,000 Speaker 10: has made So it's a wonderful, wonderful time of year. 674 00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:32,960 Speaker 10: If you like this sort of thing and it's driving 675 00:34:33,040 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 10: everybody else crazy. 676 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:36,839 Speaker 2: It may sound crazy to say this, but did Penn 677 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,760 Speaker 2: State make a mistake in firing James Franklin? 678 00:34:40,640 --> 00:34:43,200 Speaker 10: I think so, I mean, what are they going to 679 00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:45,320 Speaker 10: get who are they going to get that's going to 680 00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,920 Speaker 10: make be better than James Franklin over the lifetime of 681 00:34:47,960 --> 00:34:51,120 Speaker 10: a career. Now it may turn out that way, but 682 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:55,480 Speaker 10: my goodness gracious to please the fan base, which obviously 683 00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,879 Speaker 10: was pushing the button to get rid of him, how 684 00:34:57,920 --> 00:34:59,719 Speaker 10: are you going to What name are you going to 685 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,319 Speaker 10: get that's out there that's going to do that? Now, 686 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,680 Speaker 10: Kaelin de Bor might, but that also is going to 687 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 10: require a major, major check writing campaign. And whether or 688 00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:13,000 Speaker 10: not they're they're feeling there up to that, we'll wait 689 00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 10: and see. 690 00:35:13,880 --> 00:35:16,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the whole Kailin to boor at Alabama and I 691 00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,640 Speaker 2: started to hear stuff, you know, I mean, and it's 692 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:22,200 Speaker 2: not negative stuff. It's just as he happy or is 693 00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:26,680 Speaker 2: his family happy there? Yeah, whether that's true or not, 694 00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:29,760 Speaker 2: but it's just kind of those are the things that linger. 695 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:32,840 Speaker 2: And then I was told by somebody who talked about 696 00:35:32,920 --> 00:35:37,040 Speaker 2: chaos in the off season in college football, and I 697 00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:40,279 Speaker 2: don't know what exactly that means, but you're hinting at 698 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:42,520 Speaker 2: chaos in the off season, and. 699 00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:45,520 Speaker 10: Who benefits from that chaos other than this the agents, 700 00:35:45,719 --> 00:35:48,839 Speaker 10: I mean, they they're in the transaction business. They want 701 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,440 Speaker 10: to sell houses, right, They want. They want more buying 702 00:35:52,520 --> 00:35:56,680 Speaker 10: and selling, more commissions, and it is as a wonderful 703 00:35:56,719 --> 00:35:57,680 Speaker 10: time of year for them. 704 00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:01,040 Speaker 2: Rick new Heisl, CBS Sports college foot ball analyst, former 705 00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:05,120 Speaker 2: college football head coach. How does the committee kind of 706 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:08,439 Speaker 2: find a solution for the Notre Dame Miami conundrum? 707 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:09,720 Speaker 3: Wow? 708 00:36:10,400 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 10: Well, they keep them out of the same pool. That 709 00:36:13,080 --> 00:36:16,480 Speaker 10: was a revelation that Hunter Yurchik gave us last week. 710 00:36:16,520 --> 00:36:19,359 Speaker 10: They're not even being considered against each other. So when 711 00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:21,839 Speaker 10: the committee starts to put these things together, they put 712 00:36:21,840 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 10: three or four schools together in one deal, and now 713 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:29,200 Speaker 10: they start analytic conversations and all the different machinations that 714 00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:31,640 Speaker 10: go into deciding which of those schools should be ranked 715 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:34,799 Speaker 10: one and which should be ranked four. But if they're 716 00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:37,239 Speaker 10: not in the same pool, they don't ever get that 717 00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,600 Speaker 10: head to head conversation. So, by virtue of the seventy 718 00:36:40,600 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 10: to seven victory over Syracuse, you could actually move Notre 719 00:36:43,760 --> 00:36:46,799 Speaker 10: Dame up a spot this week, right, You could put 720 00:36:46,840 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 10: them ahead of Oklahoma. And if you do that, you 721 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 10: might keep Miami from ever getting into the same pool 722 00:36:53,360 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 10: in terms of conversation with Notre Dame, which would be 723 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,960 Speaker 10: a absolute head scratcher for all of us who remember 724 00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,240 Speaker 10: or I thought it mattered what happened on the field, 725 00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:06,279 Speaker 10: But it seems as if they're hell bent to get 726 00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:08,759 Speaker 10: Notre Dame in and Notre Dame's playing well, which makes 727 00:37:08,800 --> 00:37:12,160 Speaker 10: it easier for him, and Miami may never actually get 728 00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:16,880 Speaker 10: considered along with Notre Dame, which would be absolutely ridiculous. 729 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:20,920 Speaker 2: Ohio State hasn't really been challenged during the regular season, 730 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:23,719 Speaker 2: and I don't know when you have a team that's 731 00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:26,320 Speaker 2: that good, but you get into the postseason, you know 732 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,279 Speaker 2: you're going to have those close games, learning how to 733 00:37:29,320 --> 00:37:33,239 Speaker 2: win those close games. It feels like, you know, we 734 00:37:33,280 --> 00:37:35,520 Speaker 2: see this in March Madness. You can be the number 735 00:37:35,520 --> 00:37:38,000 Speaker 2: one team, but you're gonna have a close game, and that, 736 00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,200 Speaker 2: you know, can be the difference between you moving on 737 00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:45,320 Speaker 2: or you know, being knocked down. What do you expect 738 00:37:45,320 --> 00:37:47,279 Speaker 2: from Michigan against Ohio State? 739 00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,120 Speaker 10: Oh if they're best shot, obviously, and then they're gonna hope, 740 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:56,760 Speaker 10: like heck that Washington beats Oregon. Right, if that can happen, 741 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 10: then then we will have check that bar for Ohio State. 742 00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:04,160 Speaker 10: If they can win a close game against Michigan and 743 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:08,400 Speaker 10: kind of shake this Michigan flu that they've had for 744 00:38:08,440 --> 00:38:12,560 Speaker 10: the last four years. This is a monster game for 745 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,320 Speaker 10: Ohio State. They've rested their receivers. Carnel Tate and Jeremiah 746 00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:19,680 Speaker 10: Smith didn't play last week. A number of guys were 747 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:22,360 Speaker 10: on the DL sort of speak and get ready for 748 00:38:22,400 --> 00:38:26,719 Speaker 10: this game. This is a monster game because Indiana's checked 749 00:38:26,719 --> 00:38:29,720 Speaker 10: that box. We recall the comeback at Penn State. Texas 750 00:38:29,800 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 10: am A and M has checked that box coming from 751 00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 10: behind thirty to three against South Carolina. 752 00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 3: We haven't seen Ohio State do that. 753 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:39,880 Speaker 10: And I do believe Ohio State's vulnerable in some areas, 754 00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:44,200 Speaker 10: they just haven't been exposed. So yeah, this is one 755 00:38:44,239 --> 00:38:47,960 Speaker 10: of those deals where Brian Day certainly wants to shake this, 756 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:51,160 Speaker 10: but he would like there to be some challenge to it. 757 00:38:51,960 --> 00:38:54,719 Speaker 2: How patient will Colorado be with Dean Sanders? 758 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:58,480 Speaker 10: I think patient. I think they've got so much money 759 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:01,960 Speaker 10: invested in him that as long as he can convince 760 00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,640 Speaker 10: him that he's all in and will work hard to 761 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:08,239 Speaker 10: put together the right stuff on the field, that we're 762 00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:10,960 Speaker 10: not going to let him go. You know, obviously, when 763 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:15,000 Speaker 10: you're not making bowl games, you're you're not worth eight figures, 764 00:39:15,120 --> 00:39:18,120 Speaker 10: which is what they're paying him. But the amount of 765 00:39:18,120 --> 00:39:20,880 Speaker 10: attention that he brought to the program. They've got to 766 00:39:20,920 --> 00:39:22,880 Speaker 10: at least play it out a few more years to 767 00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,759 Speaker 10: see if he can actually get this recruiting thing down. 768 00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:28,360 Speaker 10: And Dion's got to decide if he's healthy enough to 769 00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:30,680 Speaker 10: actually go on the road, because Dion in your home 770 00:39:30,719 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 10: would be a would be a big selling point. But 771 00:39:32,840 --> 00:39:35,520 Speaker 10: he doesn't lead campus. He does it all on the phone. 772 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 10: Whether or not that's good enough, we'll have to wait 773 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:37,920 Speaker 10: and see. 774 00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:42,319 Speaker 2: Thank you, Bud, Happy holidays, and we'll talk to you soon. 775 00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:45,719 Speaker 3: Can't wait, buddy, talk to you soon.
