1 00:00:00,840 --> 00:00:06,200 Speaker 1: And now move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Bucky Brooks. 2 00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:09,880 Speaker 1: What's up everybody talking to move the sticks? DJ? Bucky 3 00:00:09,960 --> 00:00:11,959 Speaker 1: back with you, Buck? How you doing, man, Man, I'm 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,280 Speaker 1: good man. I'm coming off an exciting Monday night football weekend. 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:18,119 Speaker 1: I mean Monday night football game or obviously felt like 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,000 Speaker 1: a weekend. I mean, it was so much going on. DJ. 7 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,360 Speaker 1: I don't know about you, man, I just feel like 8 00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,360 Speaker 1: the football, it might not be the cleanest football in 9 00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,920 Speaker 1: terms of like the slippiness and the precision that we want, 10 00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:31,440 Speaker 1: but it certainly is entertaining because all these games are 11 00:00:31,440 --> 00:00:33,400 Speaker 1: coming down to the final minute. Yeah, I feel like 12 00:00:33,400 --> 00:00:36,560 Speaker 1: each and every game has been has been interesting and entertaining. 13 00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:39,120 Speaker 1: That one the colt said firm grip on and then 14 00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,880 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson did his thing. There's a lot of takeaways 15 00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:43,960 Speaker 1: from that game which I want to get to and 16 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:46,760 Speaker 1: we will get to here in just a little bit. Um. 17 00:00:46,800 --> 00:00:48,720 Speaker 1: But we also have Man, it was right I was 18 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,560 Speaker 1: doing this, uh that broadcast with money because m j 19 00:00:51,720 --> 00:00:54,600 Speaker 1: D's overseas, so he's in the UK and you've done 20 00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:56,760 Speaker 1: all that stuff with the UK before. So I was 21 00:00:56,840 --> 00:01:01,040 Speaker 1: on Channel five doing the Monday Night with money last night, 22 00:01:01,080 --> 00:01:02,880 Speaker 1: so it's fun. You can't do the during the commercials 23 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:05,280 Speaker 1: and sitting there watching the game, and then it just 24 00:01:05,319 --> 00:01:08,959 Speaker 1: felt like more information kept coming out on the Gruden thing, 25 00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden it was like it 26 00:01:11,800 --> 00:01:14,040 Speaker 1: was over, like he he had resigned and it was over, 27 00:01:14,080 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 1: like right in the middle of that ball game. But 28 00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:18,040 Speaker 1: I guess there's go to you buck, get your reaction. 29 00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,840 Speaker 1: You know, it's it's tough. DJ. So there's a thing 30 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: when you work for, when you play for the Raiders 31 00:01:23,560 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: and work for the Raiders, wants the Raider, always the Raiders, 32 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,760 Speaker 1: So um, that organization is always gonna be near and 33 00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: dear to my heart, just because of all the things. 34 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: And then as a kid growing up, I always loved 35 00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders because the Raiders where the place where all 36 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,479 Speaker 1: the misfits, the outcast, everybody could fit in in Oakland 37 00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,600 Speaker 1: or with the Raiders because look, they took everybody and 38 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:52,080 Speaker 1: they welcomed everybody. And then when you think about um, 39 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,160 Speaker 1: the late Al Davis and the pioneer that he was 40 00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:58,400 Speaker 1: in the league and the things that the franchise has 41 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 1: been known for, or in terms of opportunities and providing 42 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: opportunities and you know, diversity, equity and inclusion and all 43 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 1: of those things. You think about Tom Floyd's going into 44 00:02:08,160 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: the Hall of Fame this year, first his spending coach 45 00:02:10,480 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: to win a Super Bowl. You think about Art Shall 46 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,280 Speaker 1: being one of the few African American coaches to be that. 47 00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:18,480 Speaker 1: You think about Amy Trash being a high ranking football 48 00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,520 Speaker 1: official in the organization. The Raiders have been on the 49 00:02:22,560 --> 00:02:26,280 Speaker 1: forefront of that movement. And so when all of the 50 00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: emails and this stuff came out um on Coach bruten 51 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,000 Speaker 1: I knew it was going to be very, very hard 52 00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:36,600 Speaker 1: for him to retain his role within the organization because 53 00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,120 Speaker 1: if the late Al Davis is there, like, it goes 54 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: counter to everything that he was about. It runs counter 55 00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: to the way the Raiders have done business. You didn't 56 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,640 Speaker 1: look at the current composition of the roster and you 57 00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:54,280 Speaker 1: think about Carl nassiv Um making a historic um point 58 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440 Speaker 1: by coming out of me in the first openly gay 59 00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:59,640 Speaker 1: player to play in the National Football League, and the 60 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 1: commune to the welcome he welcomed me and him and 61 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: you know, treating him with the respect and the tolerance 62 00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:09,360 Speaker 1: and reverence that we have for everybody. And so it 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,520 Speaker 1: just makes it very very difficult for the leader of 64 00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: the franchise to have that hanging in the past. And 65 00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: I'm not saying that people cannot evolve and that you 66 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: should always be um judged by your lowest points, but 67 00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:25,760 Speaker 1: you know, it's a part of your history, is a 68 00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: part of your fabric. And I think at a time 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: where as a country and in general, we're trying to 70 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:34,079 Speaker 1: evolve and trying to move forward and trying to be 71 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:39,040 Speaker 1: more inclusive, it's hard when someone has put out divisive rhetoric. 72 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,160 Speaker 1: It's hard to bounce back from that, particularly when it's 73 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: the leader of your organization. Have you ever been on 74 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 1: a team that lost the coach was let go or 75 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,200 Speaker 1: resigned in the middle of the season. I have not. 76 00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,480 Speaker 1: I have not. You never played for an interm No, 77 00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 1: I've never played for an interim coach, But I can 78 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:59,360 Speaker 1: only imagine how difficult it would be too upset the 79 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:04,480 Speaker 1: apple cart, right, And in this situation, it's even trickier. Right. So, normally, 80 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:06,360 Speaker 1: if you have an interim coach, you're talking about a 81 00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: coach that has fired. The team is underperformed for a while, 82 00:04:10,040 --> 00:04:12,720 Speaker 1: Like you kind of get the reading of the te leaves. 83 00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: It happens, but it happens because everyone is on notice 84 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:18,160 Speaker 1: because we're not playing well. So when we're not playing well, 85 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,640 Speaker 1: everything is subject to change. This is a situation where 86 00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 1: there was a comfort level and knowing that Gruten was 87 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: going to be there for ten years, he has six 88 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: years remaining on his deal. Um, he was still building something. 89 00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: The players and everyone is very comfortable knowing that he's 90 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: the king of the kingdom. But now you remove that, 91 00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,320 Speaker 1: and he was like, okay, we gotta interim coach coach 92 00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:41,239 Speaker 1: for Sacia especially you didn't, you didn't, you don't head coach. 93 00:04:42,600 --> 00:04:45,560 Speaker 1: A lot of moving parts and man, I don't even know, 94 00:04:45,640 --> 00:04:47,279 Speaker 1: Like I think the staff is trying to figure out 95 00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,279 Speaker 1: what do we do, who's in charge? What how are 96 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:51,359 Speaker 1: we going about? And the players are looking for direction, 97 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,080 Speaker 1: And because he was so intimately involved with the offense, 98 00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:58,679 Speaker 1: that's really where the change is going to be impacted. Right. Normally, 99 00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:01,760 Speaker 1: in these situations, when you have an offensive minded head 100 00:05:01,760 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: coach or an offensive coordinator play caller head coach, the 101 00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:07,640 Speaker 1: defense operates independently. Gus Bradley is kind of like the 102 00:05:07,640 --> 00:05:10,600 Speaker 1: head coach of the defense. He handles them with look 103 00:05:10,839 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 1: anonymity and does his thing. This is different. So now 104 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,040 Speaker 1: you have to figure out who's gonna be the offensive coordinator, 105 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,440 Speaker 1: play caller, how are we going to do this, who's 106 00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 1: gonna stand in front of the team and present an 107 00:05:21,520 --> 00:05:25,440 Speaker 1: installed and all this other stuff. A lot of moving parts. Man. Yeah, 108 00:05:25,480 --> 00:05:27,800 Speaker 1: And the crazy thing is this team. You know, I 109 00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,839 Speaker 1: did the Monday night game against the Chargers. They're three 110 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: and oh they're the only I think they were the 111 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:34,359 Speaker 1: only undefeated team at that point in time in the league. 112 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:40,680 Speaker 1: Coming into that game in a week, It's like, it's 113 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,920 Speaker 1: just the whole thing that here they are, they're three 114 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: and two. Um. It was a kind of a lifeless performance. 115 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: And I almost wonder after looking at it in hindsight, 116 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: that performance was so lackluster against the Bears. We talked 117 00:05:51,960 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: about because we had to talk about Justin Fields and 118 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: his performance in that game, and I thought, you know, 119 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: it's kind of boring, but you didn't really have to 120 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,240 Speaker 1: do anything because literally the Raiders did nothing thing in 121 00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:02,159 Speaker 1: that game. It was just kind of a lifeless bunch. 122 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 1: And I wonder if if if some of this stuff 123 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,880 Speaker 1: going on, you know that we knew about just a 124 00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:09,600 Speaker 1: little bit, and that had to have been trying to 125 00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:13,040 Speaker 1: navigate that and deal with all these issues. Surely that 126 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: had to have an impact of what we saw in 127 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,000 Speaker 1: the field. Absolutely because the way that the world was 128 00:06:17,080 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: on John gruden shoulders when he had to prepare for 129 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,400 Speaker 1: the game. And I don't care what anyone says, DJ, 130 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,960 Speaker 1: we can talk about like, oh no, no no, I went 131 00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:27,000 Speaker 1: not distracted with focus on the here now. It's one 132 00:06:27,040 --> 00:06:30,600 Speaker 1: thing to have players that are dealing with distracting issues. 133 00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:33,000 Speaker 1: It's another thing to have leaders. And we've seen it 134 00:06:33,040 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: in two places. We saw it in uh Las Vegas 135 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:38,160 Speaker 1: with the Raiders. We saw it down in Jacksonville with 136 00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: Urban Meyer. When the leader is having to deal with distractions, 137 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,919 Speaker 1: I believe it filters to everybody because how can I 138 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 1: best lead when I'm having to manage all of these 139 00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,520 Speaker 1: other things that take away from my ability to get 140 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:52,440 Speaker 1: the best out of the people that I'm responsible for. 141 00:06:53,080 --> 00:06:56,080 Speaker 1: And so with the Raiders and with Jacksonville, I don't 142 00:06:56,080 --> 00:07:00,080 Speaker 1: think you saw their best performances because the leader of 143 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: the team couldn't give them their best and so, um, 144 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 1: I think it showed up for sure in the Raiders 145 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: game because that that was not the Raiders team that 146 00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,840 Speaker 1: it played the previous three weeks, the energy, the effort, 147 00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: the Christmas in efficiency that the offensive would normally execute. 148 00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,320 Speaker 1: I mean what Derek are barely had over two hundred yards. 149 00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,040 Speaker 1: I mean we've seen him throw it for four hundred 150 00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,320 Speaker 1: yards like one of the times, like he's lightened it up, 151 00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:26,840 Speaker 1: Justine Peer. And I'm not saying that the Bears are bad, 152 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,119 Speaker 1: but they certainly went to monsters of the midway coming 153 00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: into it, and so, uh yeah, I do believe it 154 00:07:32,160 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: exapped some of the energy on the team and throughout 155 00:07:35,840 --> 00:07:38,679 Speaker 1: the existion because you having to put out fires behind 156 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 1: closed doors, which only takes takes away from the time 157 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: that you can devote to preparing your team. Yeah. I mean, uh, man, 158 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:48,840 Speaker 1: you look at this thing going forward. Our our buddy 159 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:52,600 Speaker 1: Mike mack, our former colleague, there is there's a general manager. Um, 160 00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,520 Speaker 1: I think there was. You know, there was a lot 161 00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: he was getting a lot of heat. Mike was getting 162 00:07:56,080 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: a lot of heat from from Raider fans, you know 163 00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:03,000 Speaker 1: about struggles of this or that player. Um, but you know, 164 00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 1: look it, Michael never say anything because that's who he is, 165 00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:07,320 Speaker 1: and when he's about he's not going to come out 166 00:08:07,360 --> 00:08:09,760 Speaker 1: and say, hey, this was not my call on this one. 167 00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:12,200 Speaker 1: You look, I always say people, I say, who do 168 00:08:12,200 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: you think look at the money. I'll tell you who's 169 00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 1: making all the decisions. Look at the money? Um, and 170 00:08:17,120 --> 00:08:19,600 Speaker 1: that was John Gruden. Had one of the most expensive, 171 00:08:19,640 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: the richest contract in NFL coaching history, so obviously he 172 00:08:23,560 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: had all the power. Um, So now you know, we'll 173 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: see what happens going forward. Would I would think that, 174 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:30,920 Speaker 1: you know, Mike, it's uh, I mean got a lee 175 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,960 Speaker 1: from a you know, culture standpoint, in a pr standpoint, 176 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,840 Speaker 1: trying to you know, get the building back together after 177 00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,319 Speaker 1: this can really rip the you know, this ripped the 178 00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,640 Speaker 1: team apart because of of how hurtful a lot of 179 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 1: that stuff was, and and trying to Gary back on 180 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,920 Speaker 1: the same page here, Um, that's a challenge. And then 181 00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:51,280 Speaker 1: now you look at all the decision making, it's gonna 182 00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,920 Speaker 1: it's it's gonna be his team. It's gonna be his opportunity. 183 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:55,240 Speaker 1: You know, it's only so much you can do in 184 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,439 Speaker 1: the middle of the season in terms of roster construction. 185 00:08:57,520 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: But um, you know I think this would we can 186 00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:02,480 Speaker 1: now say, okay, well, this is Mike's chance to to 187 00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:04,480 Speaker 1: kind of build this team a little bit more so 188 00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: in his image yet Uh, and and and it is 189 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:09,720 Speaker 1: really important, right. So the things that you believe in 190 00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:11,760 Speaker 1: as a team builder, Uh, you want to put those 191 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 1: things in the practice, particularly if you're given a nine 192 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:18,640 Speaker 1: month run to be able to be the general manager. 193 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,439 Speaker 1: If it's even that it maybe a four month run 194 00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 1: based on the way the things play out in the season. 195 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 1: The number one thing that may I has to do 196 00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,520 Speaker 1: is he has to get everyone in the building together 197 00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 1: in a meeting and you have to have an open 198 00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 1: air conversation because you gotta get you have to be 199 00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: able to move past this. Even though Mike wasn't responsible 200 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:39,120 Speaker 1: for what took place, he now has to deal with 201 00:09:39,120 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 1: the fallout. So you've gotta be able to get all 202 00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,200 Speaker 1: of that other stuff out so we now can talk 203 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: about going forward. You can't ignore it. You can't act like, hey, 204 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:48,400 Speaker 1: it's Monday or Tuesday, we're just gonna go about No, 205 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:51,080 Speaker 1: you have to address it. The other thing that you 206 00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:55,000 Speaker 1: have to figure out when Rich Pisac is named the 207 00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,240 Speaker 1: interrom head coach, you now have the staff full of 208 00:09:58,920 --> 00:10:02,360 Speaker 1: Gruden guys who are having to deal out with the 209 00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: fault out from they've got They've got to distance themselves 210 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,280 Speaker 1: from Gruden but while also acknowledging that he's the one 211 00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:12,360 Speaker 1: who brought him into the building. That's that's it's it's 212 00:10:12,360 --> 00:10:15,000 Speaker 1: difficult to now and and and for some of them 213 00:10:15,040 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: their real friendships and so depending on how those friendships were, 214 00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: we're played out like I mean, you have guys who 215 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: well can team your love and respect him for who 216 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:26,640 Speaker 1: he is and what he's meant to them. You have 217 00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:28,720 Speaker 1: some other guys who are looking at him sideways, like, man, 218 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: I didn't know. I thought we were buddies, But how 219 00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:32,760 Speaker 1: can we be buddies? But you may feel a certain 220 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:34,760 Speaker 1: way and all of those things. So you've got to 221 00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:38,600 Speaker 1: manage and navigate all of that, separate it apart from 222 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: now having all these players that you're responsible for who 223 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 1: are also confused walking around like, wait, coach is not here, 224 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:49,160 Speaker 1: So how are we going to about it? Like we 225 00:10:49,280 --> 00:10:52,240 Speaker 1: normally have our routine and who's gonna break us down? 226 00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,040 Speaker 1: Who is leading us out? Who's gonna do to talk? 227 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,599 Speaker 1: It's all changing, And so I think for besot you, 228 00:10:58,440 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: this is his moment, right. Everyone knows that he has 229 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,080 Speaker 1: wanted to be a head coach for a long time, 230 00:11:03,480 --> 00:11:06,520 Speaker 1: and so now that you're to enter him, how quickly, 231 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,360 Speaker 1: can you. Hey, I appreciate coach, you're doing all that 232 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,240 Speaker 1: you've done. But now I got a chance to go 233 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,720 Speaker 1: and run the team for maybe ten or twelve games. 234 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:16,440 Speaker 1: I gotta figure out the way I can do it 235 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,439 Speaker 1: so maybe I can keep this job. A lot of stuff, 236 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:24,200 Speaker 1: a lot of agendas, individual agendas that are going on 237 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: at the same time, and you know, the only thing 238 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,880 Speaker 1: that you can control is trying to get the team 239 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 1: to win. Yeah, it's it's interesting times there for the 240 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. The one thing, you know, I think 241 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,600 Speaker 1: that Bucky myself having just a little different perspective having 242 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: been on the scouting side of things, you know, because 243 00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:42,319 Speaker 1: you hear all the conversations about this and and people 244 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: coming at it from different angles. This is the one 245 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:46,720 Speaker 1: thing that I that I was left with Buck, and 246 00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:50,439 Speaker 1: I know you can appreciate this is the amount of 247 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:54,839 Speaker 1: people that move their families that took this job, that 248 00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:57,960 Speaker 1: maybe had other opportunities and signed up for this, and 249 00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: they go there not knowing any of us existed. And 250 00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,720 Speaker 1: now you think of the number of those families are 251 00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 1: going to be impacted, um by by the decisions that 252 00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:09,920 Speaker 1: were made by John Gruden. So I mean, that's the 253 00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:11,840 Speaker 1: thing I think of, is that, like I think, oh, 254 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000 Speaker 1: John Gruon's out. Okay, that's it, it's over. And you 255 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 1: don't think of all those other families, not not employees. 256 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 1: I'm talking to families, and so that's that's the that's 257 00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: the part I was thinking. Yeah, the trigger down effect, right, 258 00:12:24,160 --> 00:12:27,360 Speaker 1: the trigger down effective of everybody, like, hey, we got 259 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 1: this great opportunity. We can go to Vegas. Um he's look, 260 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 1: he's don Teenia deer. So we're gonna have a chance 261 00:12:32,200 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 1: to be here for a while. We get stability. Ay, 262 00:12:33,840 --> 00:12:36,200 Speaker 1: this is one where we can we can move the kids, 263 00:12:36,559 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: and we can put him in school because oh yes, 264 00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,680 Speaker 1: you're gonna sweetie. You can be able to go all 265 00:12:41,720 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 1: the way through high school. And Daddy promised that you 266 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 1: would never have to go to another high school because 267 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:50,760 Speaker 1: we're good. We got security. Right, it changes all of 268 00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,360 Speaker 1: this stuff, all those things that you do. Is I 269 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:55,920 Speaker 1: feel like that never I feel like that aspect when 270 00:12:55,960 --> 00:12:58,760 Speaker 1: stuff unfortunately this comes up, that that aspect is never 271 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:02,360 Speaker 1: thought of. We've lived it, we've had our lives, our lives, 272 00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,720 Speaker 1: and those jobs are in the hands of other of 273 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,880 Speaker 1: other men, you know, their and their decision making. Yeah, 274 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: and and and every I mean everybody like other man 275 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,440 Speaker 1: and women. I should say that it's just it's just 276 00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,000 Speaker 1: up to their decision making. And and you think about that, 277 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:17,560 Speaker 1: and that's one of the things that you don't and 278 00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:19,360 Speaker 1: I hadn't even really thought about it, but yes, you 279 00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:21,360 Speaker 1: make a decision on that because we both have been 280 00:13:21,840 --> 00:13:24,560 Speaker 1: given opportunities right where you may have to decide between 281 00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:27,000 Speaker 1: one spot and another spot, and you're going down the 282 00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,360 Speaker 1: checklist of Okay, well, well this will may offer more money, 283 00:13:30,400 --> 00:13:32,720 Speaker 1: but it's more stability here. And when I think about 284 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:34,959 Speaker 1: this situation and that situation that stayble. We got a 285 00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: chance to grow and build it. And hey, he just 286 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: signed a he just signed a five year like we'd good, 287 00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: Like we do a good job, We're gonna be here 288 00:13:41,920 --> 00:13:47,320 Speaker 1: with changes everything. And so now you know, DJ, everyone 289 00:13:47,360 --> 00:13:49,480 Speaker 1: goes away and you're the coach in the office, you're 290 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:52,120 Speaker 1: the personnel person officer, Like I guess I got to 291 00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: get on the phone and kind of story, kind of 292 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: start figuring out what what the next moment. And and 293 00:13:57,840 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: that's the other thing with the coaching side of it. 294 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:00,839 Speaker 1: You say, okay, well we gotta get very on the 295 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: same page and it's easy to say, Okay, we're gonna 296 00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: lock in. We're three and two seasons on in front 297 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,319 Speaker 1: of us. This is a scrambled drill for all these 298 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,400 Speaker 1: coaches because they all know that this is this just 299 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 1: this has an expiration date. I gotta find my next job. 300 00:14:12,520 --> 00:14:15,120 Speaker 1: Half in, half out, like yeah, like I want us 301 00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:17,360 Speaker 1: to win. I mean I think if we win, maybe 302 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: we can do it. But then you're like, yeah, I 303 00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,560 Speaker 1: gotta I gotta have it. You can talk to your agent. 304 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:23,920 Speaker 1: You're trying to figure out the best way. How do 305 00:14:23,960 --> 00:14:26,120 Speaker 1: I go forward? What do I do this? Uh? I mean, 306 00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: all of it, it all starts. I mean we just 307 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:35,160 Speaker 1: passed the quarter pole man and season. Man, you're already 308 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:39,680 Speaker 1: having to do um with this kind of stuff. It's unfortunate, 309 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:42,480 Speaker 1: and it's really unfortunate. I mean, it's just unfortunate all around. 310 00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:46,800 Speaker 1: It's unfortunate that, um, you know, the emails were littered 311 00:14:46,880 --> 00:14:51,560 Speaker 1: with hateful and hurtful things that also have an impact 312 00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:55,040 Speaker 1: beyond just the rates. It impacts the league. It impacts 313 00:14:55,040 --> 00:14:57,240 Speaker 1: the way people view the league. It impacts the way 314 00:14:57,320 --> 00:15:00,720 Speaker 1: those within the league view higher ups and decision makers. 315 00:15:00,760 --> 00:15:04,240 Speaker 1: Because no matter what we think, uh, and how we 316 00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:07,400 Speaker 1: can attempt to make this an isolated incident. I mean, 317 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,160 Speaker 1: coach Rude was interacting with somebody, He was having conversations 318 00:15:10,200 --> 00:15:12,920 Speaker 1: with somebody, and you know, it means that someone was 319 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:17,120 Speaker 1: engaging in conversations back. And so it just continues to 320 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: kind of shed light on just the things that we 321 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,800 Speaker 1: have to continue to clean up in this league because 322 00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 1: we do want it to be the best league that 323 00:15:23,720 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: we can be, Like, we have to continue to take 324 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:28,800 Speaker 1: steps to eradicate the thinking out of it, you know, 325 00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:31,920 Speaker 1: And that's that's really really hard, and it's really hard 326 00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,800 Speaker 1: for the league who was trying to promote diversity and 327 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: all of these other initiatives and racism and social justice 328 00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 1: and all that other stuff. When a guy who I mean, 329 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:43,120 Speaker 1: for lack of a better word, was the face of 330 00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:45,160 Speaker 1: the Raiders. He's the face of the Raiders. He was 331 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: a prominent voice within the league. Um, you know, it 332 00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:53,240 Speaker 1: just kind of sets us all back. Yeah, no, no doubt. Well, Um, 333 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 1: we want to want to keep things rolling, hair Buck. 334 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 1: I thought we needed to talk about that right off 335 00:15:57,680 --> 00:16:00,800 Speaker 1: the top. But there's a lot to get to, um, 336 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: in terms of takeaways and reactions and the impact of 337 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:06,440 Speaker 1: what we just witnessed on Monday Night football between the 338 00:16:06,480 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: Colts and the Ravens. We're gonna get to that right 339 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,760 Speaker 1: after this, all right, Buck, I've got some I've got 340 00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:15,520 Speaker 1: some thoughts on this game and uh some things and 341 00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,760 Speaker 1: people that it impacted. But before I get to that, 342 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:20,360 Speaker 1: I want to get give me your takeaways here. What 343 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,040 Speaker 1: was your thoughts on what we saw and that huge 344 00:16:23,080 --> 00:16:27,160 Speaker 1: comeback for the Ravens Lamar Jackson and company. You know, 345 00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: it's it's so funny that the game played out the 346 00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:32,480 Speaker 1: way he played out right after the controversy from last 347 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: week over the freaking street right maintaining the one D 348 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,360 Speaker 1: plus frushing game street like, doing all the other stuff 349 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:43,080 Speaker 1: to make sure that you keep it intact. They cannot 350 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 1: run the ball a drop, They cannot move the ball 351 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,080 Speaker 1: against the Indianapolis Coast, And I never thought that would 352 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: be an issue because the coaches struggle running, the struggle 353 00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: stopping the run heading into the game, But then watching 354 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:59,640 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson, who I'm gonna say this, DJ, I still 355 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:03,160 Speaker 1: feel like, despite his success as a runner, I still 356 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,480 Speaker 1: feel like he's off in the running game. I've seen 357 00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:09,919 Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson fumble more stumble more this year than I 358 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,399 Speaker 1: ever have when it comes to his explosiveness with the 359 00:17:12,440 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 1: ball in his hands. That said, it was absolutely his 360 00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 1: best passing performance that we've seen, not only the efficiency 361 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:21,640 Speaker 1: when it comes to the numbers, because people are talking 362 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,879 Speaker 1: about them throwing forty plus passes, the touchdowns and the 363 00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:31,200 Speaker 1: yards and accounting for five yards of offense, just his willingness. 364 00:17:31,880 --> 00:17:33,480 Speaker 1: There were times where I was like, man, is he 365 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:37,440 Speaker 1: gonna runs? Gonna he is just he is just hanging 366 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,280 Speaker 1: and hanging and hanging in the pocket and delivering strikes. 367 00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,520 Speaker 1: I think the big thing for the Ravens coaches when 368 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,960 Speaker 1: they look at the film is that part of it 369 00:17:48,359 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: that in a game where the pressure mounted and escalated, 370 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,080 Speaker 1: he didn't lean on the normal crutches that he would 371 00:17:56,119 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: lean on. He has kicked off the training wheels and 372 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600 Speaker 1: said no, no no, I'm gonna throw it and I'm gonna 373 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,840 Speaker 1: make these throws and we're going to win because of 374 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 1: how I do in the passing game, not necessarily how 375 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: performing and running game. I think that is significant for 376 00:18:09,640 --> 00:18:13,159 Speaker 1: the team, their confidence in him and his confidence in 377 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 1: his own abilities. Affordable. Yeah, I mean here here was 378 00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: give me my first two quick takeaways. Here. Lamar was 379 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:21,680 Speaker 1: outstanding won't for the life of me understand why they 380 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,399 Speaker 1: play so much his own by the way, I know, 381 00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:25,480 Speaker 1: there's kind of those tenants of what you do, but 382 00:18:25,520 --> 00:18:27,560 Speaker 1: you get carved up like a turkey. You could not 383 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:30,159 Speaker 1: cover the tight end um Andrews in the middle of 384 00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: the field, just finding holes, and he's put it on 385 00:18:32,280 --> 00:18:34,760 Speaker 1: in play after play after play after play, Um, and 386 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:37,720 Speaker 1: then I'm kind of like, I look at it. I'm like, Okay, 387 00:18:37,880 --> 00:18:39,960 Speaker 1: maybe you don't love your secondary, but who are you 388 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: worried about? Like Hollywood Brown is starting to come on 389 00:18:42,720 --> 00:18:44,400 Speaker 1: a little bit, But like I feel like that when 390 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,400 Speaker 1: you're watching some of these games, right, I'm like, who 391 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:49,239 Speaker 1: are you scared of? Like this team is you know, 392 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:54,479 Speaker 1: they don't have elite elite receivers? Um am I crazy? 393 00:18:54,560 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: Like I'm just going through, Like I get it. You 394 00:18:57,240 --> 00:18:59,400 Speaker 1: you play somebody seems like whoa Like, Okay, hey, let's 395 00:18:59,400 --> 00:19:01,360 Speaker 1: put an umbrella on him. Un let's try and keep 396 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:04,479 Speaker 1: the ball in front um. But yeah, I didn't get 397 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,040 Speaker 1: that side of it, So I didn't get the game 398 00:19:06,040 --> 00:19:08,480 Speaker 1: plan from the Colts. But hey, Lamar, it's tough to 399 00:19:08,520 --> 00:19:11,160 Speaker 1: complete that percentage on air. I don't care what's going on. 400 00:19:11,240 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 1: He was he was comfortable, he was patient in the pocket. Um. 401 00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:16,520 Speaker 1: There were some things in that game. I thought maybe 402 00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: the Kansas City Chiefs could watch and try and pull 403 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,679 Speaker 1: some things from of just sometimes you get your you're 404 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,040 Speaker 1: used to a clock, right of this is when the 405 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: pressure supposed to come. Ball needs to be out and 406 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:29,120 Speaker 1: then you know, we talked with young quarterbacks sometimes they're 407 00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:31,600 Speaker 1: getting pressure. You gotta speed up your clock. Sometimes some 408 00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,560 Speaker 1: of these guys when they're not gonna when they're not 409 00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,399 Speaker 1: gonna blitch you and they're just gonna play coverage, like 410 00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,840 Speaker 1: you need to slow down your clock. I thought Lamar 411 00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,520 Speaker 1: did a really good job of that in that game. 412 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:41,320 Speaker 1: So that was that was the takeaway on that side. 413 00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,880 Speaker 1: The other one was it'll get lost because they didn't 414 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,960 Speaker 1: win the game, but if they make a kick that 415 00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,680 Speaker 1: the talking point today is that's the best Carson Wentz 416 00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,840 Speaker 1: in a long time, a long time. And so not 417 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,800 Speaker 1: only is it interesting to me, this team is now 418 00:19:55,040 --> 00:19:58,680 Speaker 1: one and four. So if Carson's thrown for four yards 419 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:01,360 Speaker 1: and they're losing games, at some point in time, they're 420 00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:02,920 Speaker 1: going to have to put him on the bench because 421 00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:05,879 Speaker 1: they don't want to hit that seventy number that's gonna 422 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,080 Speaker 1: send their first round pick to Philadelphia, which is gonna 423 00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:10,400 Speaker 1: be one of the more awkward things you think about 424 00:20:10,440 --> 00:20:13,199 Speaker 1: the out You think that. I think you remember the 425 00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,560 Speaker 1: outrage when um who was the Eagles laid down at 426 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: things against Washington? Right? Remember that? Remember the outrage. You 427 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: imagine the outrage if they put Carson Wentz, a healthy 428 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 1: Carson Wentz on the bench to avoid losing a first 429 00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,400 Speaker 1: round pick. What if that picks up? What if that's 430 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,639 Speaker 1: the top five pick. I wouldn't want to be in 431 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:35,560 Speaker 1: Chris Ballard's situation, because how do you say, we're trying 432 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: to win every game? Um, okay, you pull your starting 433 00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:41,600 Speaker 1: I would leave image. I would have to leave him 434 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,520 Speaker 1: in because its integrity you'd have to have. I couldn't 435 00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,960 Speaker 1: look at myself in the mirror, and I would. It 436 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: would make me sick to my stomach that I'm gonna 437 00:20:47,920 --> 00:20:50,879 Speaker 1: lose a pick, you know, because of that. Now, I 438 00:20:50,920 --> 00:20:53,159 Speaker 1: can tell you if Carson was not feeling great and 439 00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,199 Speaker 1: had a little bit of soreness, I would highly encourage 440 00:20:55,240 --> 00:20:58,920 Speaker 1: him to not take any chances. But but you can't. 441 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:01,480 Speaker 1: You can't, you can't do it. So that to me 442 00:21:01,560 --> 00:21:04,040 Speaker 1: is a that's gonna be an interesting storyline to follow 443 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,440 Speaker 1: as we go through the year. And the last thing 444 00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:10,000 Speaker 1: on that, on the Wentz thing, Wentz has played good 445 00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:13,359 Speaker 1: football in this league before right then goes through his 446 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,280 Speaker 1: struggles and you know, we love to just eliminate people 447 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 1: and write them off and say they're done. There were 448 00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,640 Speaker 1: some patients there and it was and it's paid off. 449 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:23,960 Speaker 1: I think patients is my word of the year this year, 450 00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,560 Speaker 1: by the way. And so I'm thinking of a guy 451 00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,720 Speaker 1: like Trubisky. Trubisky played some good football for a period 452 00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,320 Speaker 1: of time with the Bears. Like when you see like 453 00:21:31,359 --> 00:21:33,680 Speaker 1: the Carson Wentz Is of the world come back and 454 00:21:33,720 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: play like I'm telling you, like, that's things. Things are 455 00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 1: going well this year from Mitchell. Trubisky hasn't played a snap. No, 456 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: he hasn't played a snap. But DJ, I'm infirma believe 457 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,920 Speaker 1: with the league that we were in as evaluators. You're 458 00:21:47,920 --> 00:21:50,800 Speaker 1: a quarterback, you are a high pick, you get multiple Bassett, 459 00:21:52,240 --> 00:21:55,360 Speaker 1: you get multiple. I guess you at least get three. 460 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: Ryan Leaf got three because Ryan Leaf came through. He 461 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: went to the Cowboys, he came to the Seahawks. We 462 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,800 Speaker 1: hadn't been training camp before it was just too much 463 00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:07,080 Speaker 1: for his risk to go DJ. When your first round 464 00:22:07,119 --> 00:22:10,000 Speaker 1: pick and you have talent, and you've shown flashes of 465 00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:14,080 Speaker 1: that talent in games, you should get multiple opportunities. Mr 466 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: Biscuit is going to Buffalo. He's had an opportunity to 467 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 1: do some mop up duty, to re kind of establish 468 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 1: himself and learn and sit back and take a deep 469 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:24,680 Speaker 1: breath without the pressure of having to be the guy. Yeah, 470 00:22:24,760 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: I think I think it absolutely opens up something and 471 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: I do believe patients is critical as we evaluate all 472 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:35,240 Speaker 1: these quarterbacks harshly, sometimes too harshly for what they are. 473 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:38,880 Speaker 1: It absolutely changes the narrative because Carson Wentz played really well. 474 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: And one I don't believe it's going to end up 475 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,120 Speaker 1: being a conversation what we talked about with Chris Ballott. 476 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:46,159 Speaker 1: I believe the Cold School will bounce back. They have 477 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: a history of being able to bounce back on the 478 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:50,119 Speaker 1: Frank Right right now. The way that division is, they 479 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:53,080 Speaker 1: can quickly get back into the mix despite being wonder 480 00:22:53,119 --> 00:22:56,280 Speaker 1: for it's about Frank Right holding it together. But building 481 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: upon what Carson Wentz displayed on Monday night, Yeah, this 482 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:04,360 Speaker 1: feels a little bit like the NFC East from last year. Ms. 483 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 1: I mean, there's a business not going anywhere because it's 484 00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,119 Speaker 1: Tennessee and the Colts, and so as long as you 485 00:23:10,119 --> 00:23:13,600 Speaker 1: can stay within striking distance other times you can overtake 486 00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:16,000 Speaker 1: them the last the last month of the season. That's 487 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 1: what I'm selling the team. Hey, guys, look here we are. 488 00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,439 Speaker 1: We're wonderful. Let's get to the halfway point. Let's just 489 00:23:20,480 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: be within a game or two of the Titans. We 490 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,199 Speaker 1: will see them. We have an opportunity to kind of 491 00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,080 Speaker 1: control our destiny when it comes to dealing with them. 492 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:31,199 Speaker 1: So let's just see if we can just stacks and 493 00:23:31,240 --> 00:23:33,720 Speaker 1: wins up and be in range at the halfway point 494 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: and then see if we can get hot. But I 495 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: think what they found out is how to play with 496 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:41,840 Speaker 1: their quarterback, and that also included Jonathan Taylor playing well 497 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,879 Speaker 1: and Marlon Mack despite the trade requests, also showing up. 498 00:23:46,480 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: All right, here here's my other slogan from this game. 499 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,199 Speaker 1: I'm gonna go with you know, you go. If you 500 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:59,160 Speaker 1: know Lamar Jackson is your guy, you go. You get 501 00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,600 Speaker 1: that contract on earlier rather than later, because Buck, that 502 00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: number is going up and up and up and up. 503 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,320 Speaker 1: And if you remember we talked about his contract. I 504 00:24:08,359 --> 00:24:11,000 Speaker 1: think over the summer, I think we were in agreement. 505 00:24:11,520 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 1: Checking me if I were wrong here, but I think 506 00:24:13,119 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: I think we said big, big yearly average and maybe 507 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,520 Speaker 1: a little bit shorter on the years. Maybe we're a 508 00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:23,119 Speaker 1: term three or four year term because he moves around 509 00:24:23,119 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 1: and make sure that stays healthy. He's done a great 510 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,600 Speaker 1: job of staying healthy. But maybe maybe you didn't want 511 00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:29,280 Speaker 1: to go all the way long term. But we're happy 512 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:31,440 Speaker 1: to make pay him big, big numbers here in a 513 00:24:31,960 --> 00:24:34,399 Speaker 1: three or four year period. I'm telling you what. He 514 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:36,760 Speaker 1: keeps playing like that last night, he ain't gonna take 515 00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:38,679 Speaker 1: anything less than a long term deal, and it is 516 00:24:38,680 --> 00:24:42,560 Speaker 1: gonna be a massive number a D. He's gonna be 517 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 1: a whiffer because he is at the um. He's like 518 00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: he said, the Pat Mahomes number. He's going to be 519 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,359 Speaker 1: in that ballpark whether people like it or not. And 520 00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: Josh Allen's deal is the floor for what he's going 521 00:24:56,440 --> 00:25:00,199 Speaker 1: to do because he's right eight. I think the just 522 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:03,000 Speaker 1: like forty three. He's looking at him like, yeah, but 523 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:05,320 Speaker 1: he's never been an m v P. So I at 524 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:07,360 Speaker 1: least have to get I at least have to get 525 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,000 Speaker 1: that just to start, we can only start the conversation 526 00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,040 Speaker 1: at where he's at. And maybe they're gonna they're gonna 527 00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:14,440 Speaker 1: they're gonna come back and say he's been in a 528 00:25:14,520 --> 00:25:17,920 Speaker 1: championship game. That's what they'll come back and say. And 529 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,000 Speaker 1: and he's I'm the MVP, and I'm gonna say that 530 00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:23,680 Speaker 1: that that that's going to be the discussion between the team, 531 00:25:24,480 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 1: between the two sides. That's why you gotta get this done. 532 00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 1: Get it done before, get it done. And we talked 533 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:33,480 Speaker 1: about this, and I think we'll kind of beer off 534 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: topic here, but I think some people got upset with 535 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: kind of the Baker Mayfield stuff and saying, you know, 536 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: you play the blame. No, no no, no, no, no, we have. 537 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:43,560 Speaker 1: We've said Baker Mayfield is a good player. He is 538 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: a good player, but you cannot watch what some of 539 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:48,919 Speaker 1: these other quarterbacks in the a f C do and 540 00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:51,240 Speaker 1: put him in that class. And if you watch that 541 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:54,160 Speaker 1: game last night, that was a truck on full display. 542 00:25:54,560 --> 00:25:58,720 Speaker 1: That was that was Lamar Jackson carrying their football team 543 00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:01,879 Speaker 1: to victory. That was him without his left tackle, minus 544 00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,800 Speaker 1: their top running backs. Their first round wide receiver is 545 00:26:04,840 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: not out there, um and doesn't matter. He went out 546 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:09,119 Speaker 1: there and put the team on his back, down a 547 00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,639 Speaker 1: big deficit and won the football game. That is a 548 00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:15,200 Speaker 1: definition of a truck and trucks get paid. That's that's 549 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:17,800 Speaker 1: how that works. The trucks get paid. And not only that, DJ, 550 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,600 Speaker 1: once again, we talked about building your team. One of 551 00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: the first things you're doing, the team building thing, is 552 00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: you have to make sure that you have a team 553 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:27,359 Speaker 1: that can win the division. So you have to be 554 00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,919 Speaker 1: able to compare my quarterback to the other quarterbacks in 555 00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:34,720 Speaker 1: the division. But now, do I have a better quarterback 556 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:36,879 Speaker 1: than Baltimore? Who asked Lamar Jackson? Do I have a 557 00:26:36,880 --> 00:26:40,320 Speaker 1: better quarterback than what Cincinnati has in Joe Burrow. We 558 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: don't know what Pittsburgh is going to do going forward, 559 00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: So for a better team, you might have a better team. Yeah, 560 00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:46,879 Speaker 1: But so you gotta think about that. But then not 561 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:50,040 Speaker 1: only you gotta stretch it out to Okay, we gotta 562 00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,080 Speaker 1: win a division to get a playoffer, But then who 563 00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:54,280 Speaker 1: do we have to beat to get to the super Bowl? 564 00:26:54,520 --> 00:26:58,880 Speaker 1: In the a f C. Pat Mahomes, Josh Allen, Justin Herbert. 565 00:26:59,000 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: We just talked about Lamar Jackson. I mean who else? 566 00:27:04,240 --> 00:27:06,720 Speaker 1: I mean there? I mean Derek Carr. Maybe you can 567 00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,399 Speaker 1: talk about that like we don't know it, as ask 568 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:12,199 Speaker 1: you by Deshaun Wasson. But you're thinking, do I have 569 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:15,479 Speaker 1: a quarterback in a shootout that can deal with the 570 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: four guys that are already mentioned. That's what I mean, 571 00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:21,800 Speaker 1: that's the standard. My guy has to be able to 572 00:27:21,840 --> 00:27:24,719 Speaker 1: go to the shootout against those guys and give us 573 00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,600 Speaker 1: a reasonable chance to win the game. And maybe your 574 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:30,920 Speaker 1: other ten guys are so much better than the other 575 00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: teams other ten guys that you can navigate the difference 576 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,679 Speaker 1: between the talent and in the quarterbacks. Again, neither one 577 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:40,920 Speaker 1: of us are saying anything bad about Baker Mayfield. Baker 578 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,080 Speaker 1: Mayfield is a good player. And I give Baker credit 579 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:45,040 Speaker 1: that this was an O N sixteen team when he 580 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,760 Speaker 1: got there, and he has been a part of that 581 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: group that's got them to be a playoff team and 582 00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,239 Speaker 1: one of the best turnarounds we've seen in sports. So 583 00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:53,920 Speaker 1: I gave him all the credit and that in the world. 584 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,920 Speaker 1: But I mean, Jim Collins wrote a book called Good 585 00:27:55,920 --> 00:28:00,119 Speaker 1: to Great Man, and I can say this and I 586 00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 1: will say this on Baker Mayfield's behalf. The l A. 587 00:28:03,440 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: Rams went to the Super Bowl with Jared Goff who's 588 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: another good quarterback they were. I mean, you could reasonally 589 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:12,760 Speaker 1: say that they probably could have maybe should have won 590 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,240 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. They did that with him, So there's 591 00:28:15,240 --> 00:28:17,960 Speaker 1: a path to doing it. But you also have to 592 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: understand if you take that path, you have to sacrifice 593 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,680 Speaker 1: some stuff with the quarterback to make sure that the 594 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:27,640 Speaker 1: other stuff is good enough to offset the talent deficiencies 595 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:30,720 Speaker 1: between him and the other guy. That's the second contract. 596 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:33,679 Speaker 1: And that's the whole thing about the second contract. You know, 597 00:28:33,760 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 1: it's just that first contract you can afford to have 598 00:28:35,880 --> 00:28:37,600 Speaker 1: everybody else you want. You get to bring all your 599 00:28:37,600 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: other toys. But when when you get the second contract, 600 00:28:40,600 --> 00:28:42,240 Speaker 1: you don't get to keep all your toys anymore. And 601 00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,200 Speaker 1: we saw that with the Rams. Hey get rid of 602 00:28:44,240 --> 00:28:46,440 Speaker 1: some of those toys. Hey, DJ, we're going on vacation. 603 00:28:46,560 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 1: Eight kids, We're going on vacation. But look that he says, 604 00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,840 Speaker 1: you only can take one carry on. One carry on, 605 00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: so you can't take all the toys. So you get 606 00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:57,920 Speaker 1: to pick what do you want to take. And that's 607 00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:00,480 Speaker 1: where the brothers said, Hey, yeah, you beg you can come. Look, 608 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: the only so many toys you can bring with you. 609 00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,200 Speaker 1: What do you bring you can't bring. You can't bring 610 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: the entire playroom a couple of toys, and so that's 611 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:10,400 Speaker 1: what the second is about, no doubt. Um. Alright, one 612 00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:11,560 Speaker 1: more topic I want to get to. I want to 613 00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,840 Speaker 1: talk real quick about what we saw from the upset 614 00:29:13,880 --> 00:29:18,840 Speaker 1: with A and M over Alabama. Right after this, all right, Buck, 615 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:20,920 Speaker 1: I want to touch some college here real quick. I 616 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,680 Speaker 1: don't know how much you saw of the Alabama A 617 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,520 Speaker 1: and M game. I love to get your thoughts on 618 00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,360 Speaker 1: it if you did. But the one thing I would 619 00:29:27,360 --> 00:29:31,880 Speaker 1: say is this, UM, to knock off Alabama one, you 620 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,360 Speaker 1: have to have someone who absolutely believes that you can 621 00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:38,000 Speaker 1: knock him off. Jimbo Fisher has been banging the drum. 622 00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:40,800 Speaker 1: Oh we're gonna get him. Yeah, we're gonna get him. 623 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:42,640 Speaker 1: So you gotta have that first. You gotta have a 624 00:29:42,640 --> 00:29:44,320 Speaker 1: self belief in the coach that oh yeah, that he 625 00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,720 Speaker 1: said he was gonna beat there a double less uh 626 00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:50,760 Speaker 1: the summer. How about that? He said you have to 627 00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:53,280 Speaker 1: have a belief and reminded me a hardbo by the way, 628 00:29:53,320 --> 00:29:55,160 Speaker 1: except you know, this is a little different. A and 629 00:29:55,240 --> 00:29:57,160 Speaker 1: M's talent versus what Harbor had at Stanford at that 630 00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: time was a little different, but same level of confidence, 631 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,920 Speaker 1: same level of confidence. You gotta be something. Second thing, 632 00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:05,040 Speaker 1: you have to build the team to be able to 633 00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: beat them. You've told me, because I think you've gone 634 00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: down to maybe spoke to the team or whatever, and 635 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,080 Speaker 1: you're like, yeah, they looked apart. He has built a 636 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:17,080 Speaker 1: team that is willing to go in the ring with 637 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,600 Speaker 1: Alabama if Alabama is the heavyweight champion, where you better 638 00:30:20,680 --> 00:30:23,040 Speaker 1: have some size, some girth to be able to deal 639 00:30:23,080 --> 00:30:24,520 Speaker 1: with them. And when I look at them, man, they 640 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: look like to see them last year Orange Bowl against 641 00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,320 Speaker 1: North Carolina, and they had size, physicality, toughness. They looked 642 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,400 Speaker 1: like a high end SEC team and they did it. 643 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,120 Speaker 1: And even though they've had some missteps this year, they 644 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:43,080 Speaker 1: still looked apart. And you can't coach the game or 645 00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: play the game scared. Jim or Fish is not afraid 646 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,560 Speaker 1: of Nick Saban. No matter what Nick Saban has, no 647 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:52,560 Speaker 1: matter how many trophies he has on the mantle, he 648 00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:55,680 Speaker 1: ain't scared. And I think that impacts the way that 649 00:30:55,720 --> 00:30:58,920 Speaker 1: you go forward. I was thinking about, you know, you're 650 00:30:58,920 --> 00:31:00,960 Speaker 1: going to the grocery store. You got different little sections, 651 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,840 Speaker 1: you know, I just think of like A and M 652 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,239 Speaker 1: and you look at Alabama and l s U when 653 00:31:06,280 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: they're right. Um, I feel like all of college football 654 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:11,320 Speaker 1: goes into the grocery store. And if you say, like 655 00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: the fruits and vegetables are kind of like skill guys. 656 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:15,959 Speaker 1: You know, like see all these other college coaches get 657 00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:17,960 Speaker 1: their little carts and go over there, and those SEC 658 00:31:18,080 --> 00:31:20,200 Speaker 1: coaches go right to the meat. They just go right back. 659 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: I mean all that. That's all the defensive linemen.

We'll go get get the defensive lineman. 689 00:32:50,400 --> 00:32:53,320 Speaker 1: That's where we're going. We're investing in the foundation of 690 00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:55,840 Speaker 1: the house, like we're making sure we have those guys 691 00:32:56,360 --> 00:32:58,480 Speaker 1: to that point. I don't know if you had a 692 00:32:58,520 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 1: chance to see Kentucky, but the job I haven't seen 693 00:33:01,160 --> 00:33:06,120 Speaker 1: them yet, but that from the RAMS, right, Okay, yeah, 694 00:33:07,320 --> 00:33:10,280 Speaker 1: but once again, like in speaking to what they look like, 695 00:33:11,400 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 1: they look like a team Marks is going in there 696 00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:17,520 Speaker 1: and he's he's got them going. They look like a big, 697 00:33:17,960 --> 00:33:20,560 Speaker 1: physical team that can go in there the six and 698 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:24,080 Speaker 1: oh they've knocked off Florida, They've done some really good 699 00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:28,440 Speaker 1: things in terms of like how they play. You have 700 00:33:28,520 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 1: to do it. And so as team builders we talk 701 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: about that you have to know exactly who you're facing 702 00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 1: and how you have to build your team. And those 703 00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 1: teams down the SEC are building their teams a certain 704 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 1: way and unless you are a team in another conference 705 00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,000 Speaker 1: that has taken that, if you're not taking that blueprint, 706 00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,360 Speaker 1: you're not going to beat them in the playoff. You're not. 707 00:33:49,920 --> 00:33:52,600 Speaker 1: You're just not going to do it. And so you 708 00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:54,680 Speaker 1: have to always keep an eye on what's going down 709 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:56,920 Speaker 1: there in the SEC to make sure that you're building 710 00:33:56,960 --> 00:33:59,400 Speaker 1: your team the right way, because if not, it's gonna 711 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: be a problem when you have to see them, no doubt.
