1
00:00:01,080 --> 00:00:02,600
Speaker 1: You're listening to Fox Sports.

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:05,960
Speaker 2: Well, they say you're supposed to step out of your

3
00:00:05,960 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 2: comfort zone every now and again, And I got a

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:11,680
Speaker 2: question that will force all of you to do it.

5
00:00:11,680 --> 00:00:14,840
Speaker 2: It's one you've probably been asked before, but it's one

6
00:00:14,840 --> 00:00:18,280
Speaker 2: of these questions that's supposed to gauge your own selfishness.

7
00:00:18,520 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 2: So I don't know if the answer people give is

8
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,200
Speaker 2: a genuine one. I throw it out there in just

9
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:27,360
Speaker 2: a second as we welcome you in hope you are

00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:28,000

Speaker 2: way tire buying should be. We can be straight with

18
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:54,440
Speaker 2: our audience. The first thing I got to ask you is, actually,

19
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,360
Speaker 2: are you okay? Because I am in the Bay Area, California.

20
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 2: It is a eighty five degrees and perfect here right now.

21
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,479
Speaker 2: You are in southern California. Or did you put all

22
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 2: the patio furniture away? Like, y'all do it all right

23
00:01:10,800 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 2: down there?

24
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:12,520
Speaker 1: No, we're good man.

25
00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:17,800
Speaker 3: It's rainy, it's raining, but it's just rain, right, it's raining, Okay.

26
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,920
Speaker 2: But I do not mean to make light because I

27
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,560
Speaker 2: know there are certain people in certain places where it's

28
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 2: it's not right all on the up and up right now.

29
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: But this is also in my twenty years living there,

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,399
Speaker 2: this is the most Southern California thing ever, which is

31
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,520
Speaker 2: to freak out about what's about to happen, and then

32
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:46,039
Speaker 2: what happens is a huge nothing burger. Do you remember Karmageddon?

33
00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:49,080
Speaker 2: Do you remember that, like seven or eight years ago,

34
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,720
Speaker 2: when they were gonna do a bunch of freeway work

35
00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:55,320
Speaker 2: and close a freeway for an entire weekend, and everyone

36
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: predicted if you needed to go somewhere, a one hour

37
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 2: drive was gonna take like, I mean, you're not gonna

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,760
Speaker 2: be able to move. Oh, And everybody did one of

39
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: two things. They either left buckets of time to get

40
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:12,080
Speaker 2: where they were going, or they just stayed home and

41
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 2: the freeways were completely wide open. In fact, it was

42
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 2: the most glorious driving weekend in the history of Southern California.

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 2: And this feels like potentially the weather version of that

44
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: for for a lot of.

45
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 1: People down there.

46
00:02:24,880 --> 00:02:30,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's been raining since the early morning the

47
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:34,519
Speaker 3: whole time. But other than that, you know, it's by

48
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:37,040
Speaker 3: the time it started raining, it was not even it

49
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:40,480
Speaker 3: was a tropical storm and not a hurricane anymore. Uh,

50
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 3: there's a lot of you know, it's a wind out

51
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 3: there's a lot of rain. You know, Southern California isn't

52
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 3: built itself for steady rain like that. That's why we

53
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 3: have the mud slides. And then you have, you know,

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:57,960
Speaker 3: an occasional sink hole here and there, because it is

55
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 3: very dry out here for the most part year round.

56
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:05,560
Speaker 3: But the great thing is we had a winter where

57
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,960
Speaker 3: we had an excess amount of rain. So any rain

58
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 3: we get is good rain. That's the way I've received.

59
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, amen, Amen to that. So wherever you are,

60
00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:22,600
Speaker 2: I hope you're safe. I hope you're chilling, and I

61
00:03:22,639 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 2: hope your flights didn't get canceled. My son is down

62
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 2: there visiting family right now, and he has a flight

63
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,400
Speaker 2: tomorrow morning, and they canceled it two days ago. But

64
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 2: all good, all good, we rescheduled. I hope everybody is

65
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,440
Speaker 2: safe and sound as they hang. All right, Here is

66
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:42,480
Speaker 2: the question much asked in sports media, and I bet

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:47,040
Speaker 2: I know what an offensive lineman would say, But would

68
00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 2: you rather be a great player on a bad team

69
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 2: or would you rather be kind of a mediocre player

70
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 2: on a good team.

71
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,360
Speaker 3: I would always want to win. Professional sports is too

72
00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:06,000
Speaker 3: hard not to win. It takes too much out of you,

73
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 3: and people get blinded by the money and the fame

74
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:09,480
Speaker 3: that comes with being.

75
00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: A professional athlete.

76
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 3: But just think about it in the terms of this

77
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,479
Speaker 3: is a job that the individual has worked pretty much

78
00:04:19,480 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 3: his entire life to get to. He's been really exceptional

79
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:28,560
Speaker 3: at every step along the way, and in most cases

80
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:33,400
Speaker 3: used to winning a whole lot. And then you get

81
00:04:33,440 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 3: to a point where you reach the pinnacle, you reach

82
00:04:36,320 --> 00:04:42,200
Speaker 3: the dream, and you're still talented, you're still doing what

83
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: you're doing, and it's not enough to help a team win.

84
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:52,200
Speaker 3: That'll drive a professional athlete crazy. Then you become jaded,

85
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,719
Speaker 3: Then you don't care. Then it's just about the money.

86
00:04:58,600 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 3: So I was a just a regular player on a

87
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:04,680
Speaker 3: pretty darn good team that.

88
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 1: Got us to the Super Bowl. I was a rookie.

89
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,840
Speaker 3: I had zero technique playing right tackle because I was

90
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:13,239
Speaker 3: a left tackle, But they put me out there because

91
00:05:13,240 --> 00:05:15,760
Speaker 3: I love to compete and I worked my butt off,

92
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 3: so yeah, I wouldn't trade that in for the world.

93
00:05:18,960 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 3: I wouldn't trade that in to be you know what

94
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 3: Joe Thomas was for so many years. I hate the

95
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:29,560
Speaker 3: fact that he didn't get a chance to really win.

96
00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:35,440
Speaker 2: Right, right, right, No, That's exactly how I figured you

97
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 2: would answer this question. That's the mindset of someone who

98
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 2: plays a position that is I don't know what the

99
00:05:44,400 --> 00:05:45,080
Speaker 2: right word is.

100
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:47,800
Speaker 1: It's not that your complementary.

101
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,400
Speaker 2: The offensive line is as important as anything, but you

102
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:51,200
Speaker 2: know how it works.

103
00:05:51,240 --> 00:05:53,040
Speaker 1: Like you, guys don't get your name called till you.

104
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:58,520
Speaker 2: Mess up, so you're not built on the attention seeking

105
00:05:58,720 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 2: and and and the fame that goes with.

106
00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: Quarterback, wide receiver, etc.

107
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:07,760
Speaker 2: I would answer it the same way as you, even

108
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: though I'm someone who has.

109
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,520
Speaker 1: Not played at a level like that. Here's why I ask.

110
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 2: We are already starting to see the articles and I

111
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:19,520
Speaker 2: read a long one this morning with regard to the

112
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 2: New York Jets and whether or not there are enough

113
00:06:23,680 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 2: footballs to go around, and it struck me. It struck

114
00:06:28,720 --> 00:06:32,560
Speaker 2: me as interesting because outside of Aaron Rodgers and I

115
00:06:32,600 --> 00:06:35,880
Speaker 2: guess Dalvin Cook, but I would submit that Dalvin has

116
00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:39,560
Speaker 2: been through an experience the last six weeks that would

117
00:06:40,320 --> 00:06:42,080
Speaker 2: I don't know if it humbled him at all, but

118
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,800
Speaker 2: he was damn well aware that he was not going

119
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:48,560
Speaker 2: to go somewhere and get fed like a feature back

120
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:52,240
Speaker 2: twenty five times a game like he did in Minnesota.

121
00:06:52,760 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 2: Outside of Aaron Rodgers, the expectations that he brings with

122
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 2: him to the New York Jets, you have a number

123
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:06,760
Speaker 2: of people on that offense who have never experienced any

124
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:12,520
Speaker 2: kind of professional what I would call true greatness, like

125
00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:15,040
Speaker 2: really humming at a.

126
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:16,680
Speaker 1: High level name value.

127
00:07:16,760 --> 00:07:20,280
Speaker 2: I know there's rookies who popped last year in a

128
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 2: short sample, Priest Hall in a larger sample, Garrett Wilson.

129
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:26,960
Speaker 1: But with those two.

130
00:07:26,800 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 2: Players, and then add in now Dalvin Cook, Aaron Rodgers

131
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,360
Speaker 2: old friend Alan Lazard is thrown in there, I tend

132
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:41,240
Speaker 2: to think that thoughts like this are kind of overdone

133
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:42,240
Speaker 2: a little.

134
00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:42,920
Speaker 1: Bit of a waste.

135
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,600
Speaker 4: I don't really have any illusions that anybody on the

136
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:51,920
Speaker 4: New York Jets is going to fly off the handle

137
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:56,120
Speaker 4: and out of line if there are a couple targets

138
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 4: short week to week.

139
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: But you tell me if I'm off there, no, no it.

140
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 3: Look the thing about the NFL when they start talking

141
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,680
Speaker 3: about not enough footballs to go around, Well, you don't

142
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,720
Speaker 3: necessarily need enough footballs to go around.

143
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:17,360
Speaker 1: You just need people to be hot. Right.

144
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,360
Speaker 3: This is not like basketball, like every single possession you

145
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,880
Speaker 3: can come down to court and everybody gets to touch

146
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,840
Speaker 3: or anything like that. You call plays and you exploit

147
00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 3: what the defense gives you. So if you're the quarterback

148
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 3: and you have dynamic receivers on the outside, you're gonna

149
00:08:37,840 --> 00:08:41,439
Speaker 3: spread it around. They're gonna have to double someone, so

150
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 3: someone to be open. Running backs right the fresher. Your

151
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 3: high quality running backs are the better. So if you

152
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 3: have two of them, you hitt and pay dirt. This

153
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:59,160
Speaker 3: notion of oh is too much too many? No, what

154
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,280
Speaker 3: are they gonna do? They're going to prosper offensively because

155
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 3: of the weapons.

156
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:05,000
Speaker 1: The only.

157
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 3: The only thing there is the offensive line. Right, they

158
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,320
Speaker 3: have some guys injury. When Dwayne Brown comes back, that'll

159
00:09:12,360 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 3: be better for him. It just the skill positions you

160
00:09:18,559 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 3: want to have.

161
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:23,240
Speaker 1: Too many? Did the Kansas City chief have too many people?

162
00:09:25,520 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 5: What?

163
00:09:25,720 --> 00:09:28,040
Speaker 2: The funny thing is that the Chiefs are a great

164
00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 2: comp because I think San Francisco again are a better

165
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:37,760
Speaker 2: example is they're too much Chiefs wide. No, absolutely not.

166
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 2: Nobody is saying that the Chiefs wide receiver corps is

167
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:46,120
Speaker 2: starting to become very, very reminiscent of Tom Brady's great

168
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 2: years in New England. You know, once they got rid

169
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,640
Speaker 2: of Tyreek Hill, there are no stars there. And even

170
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,800
Speaker 2: who was their top receiver last year in Juju Smith.

171
00:09:55,480 --> 00:09:57,839
Speaker 1: Schuster, he's gone, he's gone.

172
00:09:57,960 --> 00:10:00,840
Speaker 2: I would defy if you're if you've not already had

173
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 2: a fantasy football draft, I would defy the average football

174
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:07,640
Speaker 2: fan to be able to name three wide receivers on

175
00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:08,800
Speaker 2: the Kansas City Chiefs.

176
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,840
Speaker 3: Couldn't do it. Couldn't do I couldn't do it. I

177
00:10:12,880 --> 00:10:17,840
Speaker 3: had a draft already, but my drafts I.

178
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:22,400
Speaker 2: Had a league that drafted like brother like two weeks ago.

179
00:10:22,559 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: It was absurd. It was way too early, way way

180
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:28,040
Speaker 1: way too early, and I knew it, and it was

181
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,200
Speaker 1: just a matter of when everybody could get together. But

182
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: I hated it from the beginning.

183
00:10:32,040 --> 00:10:35,320
Speaker 2: And then you know, I think in the fourth or

184
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,280
Speaker 2: fifth round, I grabbed Breist Hall and then two weeks later,

185
00:10:38,360 --> 00:10:40,360
Speaker 2: Dalvin Cook signs and you throw your hands up in

186
00:10:40,360 --> 00:10:41,320
Speaker 2: the air and you scream.

187
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: Our draft was too early. That's the kind of stuff

188
00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: we do this time of year. Why don't you take

189
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: control of that?

190
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 2: Then?

191
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,559
Speaker 1: Man, okay, get it together over there on my league.

192
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 2: I got, I got a league and then my league.

193
00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,960
Speaker 2: But you know, you handle that whole thing. But but yeah,

194
00:10:57,000 --> 00:11:00,280
Speaker 2: the Chiefs are a great example. Like nobody's saying with

195
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:05,760
Speaker 2: the Chiefs, nobody's wondering if, like, are people gonna start

196
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,360
Speaker 2: chirping at Patrick Mahomes And no one would even say

197
00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 2: that to Kelsey. I know, is their perception out there

198
00:11:12,120 --> 00:11:17,920
Speaker 2: that Travis Kelcey gonna start freaking out if Kadarius Tony

199
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,840
Speaker 2: gets nine looks in a particular game.

200
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:23,800
Speaker 1: Like what that's a squad that knows how to win.

201
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:30,560
Speaker 3: What happens when you win? Guys are fine? Guys are fine.

202
00:11:31,280 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 3: Guys start arguing and wanting the ball more when you're

203
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:37,480
Speaker 3: not winning because they feel like I could do more.

204
00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,000
Speaker 3: Give me the ball, and I and and I can

205
00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:44,040
Speaker 3: do more. Remember Keishawan, throw me the dang ball.

206
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:45,240
Speaker 1: Yep.

207
00:11:45,760 --> 00:11:52,400
Speaker 3: Right, So the Jets weren't very good there. So anybody

208
00:11:52,440 --> 00:11:54,720
Speaker 3: who can play and who knows that they can make

209
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,680
Speaker 3: a difference when the ball is in their hand, they'll

210
00:11:56,720 --> 00:12:00,280
Speaker 3: start to chirp when you're now. You can't chirp when

211
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 3: you're seven and two and the number one seed in

212
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 3: the AFC or the NFC and winning your division by

213
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 3: three games, Like, you can't start complaining now you look

214
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,040
Speaker 3: selfish in like a clown.

215
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:17,199
Speaker 1: Yep.

216
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:20,640
Speaker 3: So this notion of us not too many for win,

217
00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 3: There'll be plenty of footballs around now individually for stats.

218
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:28,720
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's more important than the actual win,

219
00:12:30,559 --> 00:12:31,840
Speaker 3: then you'll let everybody know.

220
00:12:32,920 --> 00:12:36,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you know, to a lot of fans it is.

221
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,880
Speaker 2: And I do think that's where a lot of this

222
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:41,880
Speaker 2: comes from. This comes from the fact that it's August

223
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:44,920
Speaker 2: twentieth and a lot of people are having fantasy drafts

224
00:12:44,920 --> 00:12:47,839
Speaker 2: this weekend and next weekend, and so we get very

225
00:12:47,880 --> 00:12:50,760
Speaker 2: focused on stats. I had a fun little conversation with

226
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 2: my son, was driving him to the airport the other

227
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,360
Speaker 2: day and he goes, I really don't like how the

228
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,600
Speaker 2: NFL has gone to this running back by committee thing

229
00:12:58,640 --> 00:12:59,480
Speaker 2: across the board.

230
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:01,920
Speaker 1: I said, why, he goes, it's bad for fantasy.

231
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 2: I go everybody dealing with it, so it's not like

232
00:13:05,040 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 2: whoever you're playing against, it's not like they have access

233
00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:11,120
Speaker 2: to a bunch of every down backs and you don't

234
00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: so like it's all good.

235
00:13:13,080 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 1: But that's where our brains are. That's where our brains are.

236
00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 2: On August twentieth, we are all trying to figure out

237
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:21,120
Speaker 2: who's gonna stuff the staff sheet stat sheet this year.

238
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:25,200
Speaker 3: Yeah, running backs are tricky now in fantasy football. They

239
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 3: used to be bill gals. Remember they used to be

240
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 3: first off the board. Now you better luck, you better

241
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,680
Speaker 3: off taking it, depending on how your point structure is.

242
00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,199
Speaker 1: No quarterback not in round one, many of them. Well, no,

243
00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:39,480
Speaker 1: that's not that's not true.

244
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:43,160
Speaker 3: Blow Because I play in the league with my wife's family,

245
00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:46,560
Speaker 3: my father in law. They have a league and the

246
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:52,120
Speaker 3: most valuable commodity in that league is a quarterback because

247
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:55,200
Speaker 3: there's you know, you can change however discording system you want.

248
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:58,520
Speaker 3: So I think it's a yard point a yard and

249
00:13:58,559 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 3: then seven for a touchdown and then if you if

250
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 3: it passes over like so you can a quarterback in

251
00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 3: this league. Now listen, listen. The quarterback in this league

252
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 3: can score one hundred and three points in a game.

253
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 3: Ninety eight eighty. The average, the average in the league

254
00:14:20,080 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 3: that I'm in for a quarterback is right around seventy points.

255
00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,760
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's broke. That's that's all that means. I signed.

256
00:14:29,800 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 3: They look they've been doing this league for a long time.

257
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 3: It was the first time I ever played fantasy football.

258
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,880
Speaker 3: So if you don't grab a Patrick Mahomes, if you

259
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:41,960
Speaker 3: don't grab a Joe Burrow, if you don't grab one

260
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 3: of the Josh, if you don't grab one of them.

261
00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: How many people in your league we have? Is it

262
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,200
Speaker 1: you got ten? Yes? Ten ten teams? Ten teams? Yeah.

263
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 2: See, I mean that's kind of the problem though, or

264
00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 2: not the problem. That's kind of what I mean. You're like,

265
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,680
Speaker 2: if you don't grab an Allen, a Mahomes, a Burrow,

266
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:10,680
Speaker 2: a Hurtz, a Lamar Jackson, I mean like a Justin Fields,

267
00:15:10,920 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 2: a Trevor Lawrence, if you don't grab one of those guys,

268
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 2: I'm like, everybody gets to grab one of those guys.

269
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:21,200
Speaker 2: There's almost ten guys who you know, Justin Herbert I

270
00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 2: just name eight guys right there.

271
00:15:23,960 --> 00:15:26,720
Speaker 1: So that's why you wait, man, that's why you wait.

272
00:15:26,840 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 1: Not in his lead.

273
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:31,440

00:17:51,960 --> 00:17:57,480
Speaker 2: means three weeks from today first full Sunday of action

315
00:17:58,000 --> 00:17:58,920
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

316
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,880
Speaker 1: It found so far away three weeks. I know, I know,

317
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: like it's it's it's here.

318
00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:08,399
Speaker 2: But when we get close, I mean, it's like telling

319
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 2: the kid that we're going to Disneyland this weekend.

320
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,320
Speaker 1: That week at school is long.

321
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:19,119
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean right, it's like, come on, I'm staring

322
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:19,720
Speaker 2: at the clock.

323
00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:21,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to be over.

324
00:18:24,280 --> 00:18:28,800
Speaker 2: If you tell me on August twentieth that you haven't

325
00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:34,080
Speaker 2: decided who your quarterback is, it means you don't.

326
00:18:33,640 --> 00:18:38,000
Speaker 1: Have a quarterback period.

327
00:18:39,840 --> 00:18:43,879
Speaker 2: That's my contention. And and and I'll skip out on

328
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:46,959
Speaker 2: the idea that it means you've got two good ones.

329
00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:51,800
Speaker 2: And I'm looking straight at you, Tampa Bay Bucks.

330
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm looking straight at you. Man.

331
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 2: You've put a couple of teams not on blast, but

332
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 2: on the list of teams that are taking action this

333
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:06,560
Speaker 2: year purposefully to set themselves up for a shot at

334
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,040
Speaker 2: Caleb Williams out of USC. Are the Bucks on the

335
00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 2: list because it feels like they punted on the idea

336
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:17,200
Speaker 2: of solidifying the quarterback position when Tom Brady left.

337
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 3: I mean, what could they do if you weren't in

338
00:19:25,640 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 3: the draft and you weren't at the place to get

339
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:34,760
Speaker 3: one of the top three quarterbacks, then you're pretty much punting,

340
00:19:35,520 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 3: you're pretty much rolling the dice on what you do

341
00:19:38,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: have or what you do draft after that, it may

342
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,959
Speaker 3: work out, it may not work out, But yeah, you

343
00:19:45,080 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 3: would eye the next year's top quarterback, and it'll be

344
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,520
Speaker 3: a couple. Next year, it'd be probably about three guys

345
00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:56,120
Speaker 3: who any team would want to have, Caleb Williams being

346
00:19:56,240 --> 00:20:00,480
Speaker 3: the jewel of that. And look, we have haven't played

347
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:04,679
Speaker 3: a down of college football this year yet, right, But

348
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 3: I'm going to go out on a limb and say,

349
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 3: even if Caleb william didn't play this year, he would

350
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,200
Speaker 3: be the top pick in the draft based on how

351
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:22,720
Speaker 3: he's played and how people are evaluating and grading him.

352
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:27,160
Speaker 3: So you know, yeah, you cross your fingers. Man, you're

353
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,840
Speaker 3: in the sweep. Sakes, what did the seventy six ers say?

354
00:20:31,119 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: Trust the process? Trust the process? Yeah? I don't trust it.

355
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:35,600
Speaker 1: Though it did work for him.

356
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 2: Its been a long time, yeah, but it's been a

357
00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 2: long time since it worked without Tom Brady.

358
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:41,399
Speaker 1: And you're right about the draft.

359
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 2: They were all the way down to number nineteen because

360
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,720
Speaker 2: they won that division even with a terrible record, and

361
00:20:46,800 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 2: so maybe they.

362
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: Weren't positioned to pounce in terms.

363
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:54,000
Speaker 2: Of a rookie but I also don't think Baker Mayfield

364
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 2: was the top of the free agent market this offseason either.

365
00:20:59,280 --> 00:21:06,359
Speaker 1: And I'll trask, I mean, we haven't seen him, but

366
00:21:07,160 --> 00:21:07,600
Speaker 1: I just.

367
00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:11,159
Speaker 2: We'd have heard or seen something by now if they

368
00:21:11,160 --> 00:21:13,000
Speaker 2: are actually excited about him.

369
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:14,000
Speaker 1: That's my contention.

370
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:18,600
Speaker 3: And you're right, And look, you have to realize the

371
00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:27,400
Speaker 3: league needs backup quarterbacks. So even if you draft a quarterback,

372
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:31,399
Speaker 3: there's nothing he has. It has to come down to

373
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 3: a situation like Tom Brady. They didn't draft Tom Brady

374
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 3: to ever play. You don't draft a quarterback in the

375
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,639
Speaker 3: sixth round for him ever to start in the regular season.

376
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,199
Speaker 3: You don't draft a quarterback with the last pick in

377
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:49,879
Speaker 3: the draft for him ever to start. But what you

378
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 3: want to do is you want to develop him and

379
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:54,560
Speaker 3: you want to keep him in your in your in

380
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:59,880
Speaker 3: your organization just in case something happens to the guy

381
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 3: who's starting, you can bring him in and he can

382
00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:06,280
Speaker 3: be a band aid. Gary Kubiak was in the league

383
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 3: for twelve years. He was John elways backup for twelve years.

384
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:18,080
Speaker 3: People don't even know that Gary Kubiak was a professional

385
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:26,439
Speaker 3: quarterback in the NFL. He was playing behind John Elway.

386
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 3: So every quarterback that's drafted is in the starter, and

387
00:22:32,680 --> 00:22:35,800
Speaker 3: we got a there's a lot of pressure on these kids,

388
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:39,240
Speaker 3: and of course in their minds and their minds they think, yeah, okay,

389
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:43,639
Speaker 3: they think so. But how many times have we seen

390
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:50,080
Speaker 3: quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield, quarterbacks like any of the Jacksonville

391
00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 3: quarterbacks outside of Byron Leftwich and Trevor Lawrence, the Blake

392
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 3: Bortles and those guys be drafted high and end up

393
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:10,280
Speaker 3: being backup quarterbacks more than they were starters.

394
00:23:10,800 --> 00:23:13,840
Speaker 2: Of course, I mean it's in many ways it's the norm.

395
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 2: And we'll we'll get to that a little bit later

396
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:19,320
Speaker 2: because there's more to discuss with with Trey Lance and

397
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,480
Speaker 2: and and others like him. Again, I'm just I'm interested

398
00:23:22,920 --> 00:23:26,680
Speaker 2: in this because you look at that division and I'm

399
00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 2: a firm believer that the Saints are going to win

400
00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:33,160
Speaker 2: it this year. And it's because they're the only team

401
00:23:33,440 --> 00:23:38,679
Speaker 2: that went out and addressed with any serious notion, addressed

402
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,919
Speaker 2: the quarterback position. Uh, with now in mind, I'm not

403
00:23:42,960 --> 00:23:45,320
Speaker 2: going to say the Panthers didn't address the quarterback position.

404
00:23:45,359 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: They most certainly did.

405
00:23:46,720 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 1: But not with now, not with this year in mind.

406
00:23:51,040 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 2: I'm not expecting Bryce Young to come out and set

407
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 2: the world on fire, because that's that's not the way

408
00:23:55,800 --> 00:24:00,520
Speaker 2: it works. But more on that coming up in just second.

409
00:24:00,560 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 2: But right now, let's get what is trending on another

410
00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:08,200
Speaker 2: very very busy weekend. And welcome in our buddy Nick Cope.

411
00:24:08,200 --> 00:24:09,239
Speaker 1: Hey, Nick, what's up?

412
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:12,159
Speaker 5: Guys, going to be with you, Happy to help out Steve.

413
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,280
Speaker 5: He is currently at SOFI Stadium where he got the

414
00:24:15,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 5: Chargers in the Saints tied to ten late in the

415
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,320
Speaker 5: second quarter. Jameis Winston has looked alright twelve of eighteen

416
00:24:22,359 --> 00:24:25,439
Speaker 5: abut twenty seven. Easton Stick has been a quarterback for

417
00:24:25,480 --> 00:24:28,600
Speaker 5: the Chargers eight of eighteen and an interception, So no

418
00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,880
Speaker 5: Derek Carr in this one to know, Justin Herbert as well.

419
00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,199
Speaker 5: Other NFL news reports say Aaron Rodgers will play for

420
00:24:35,280 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 5: the Jets in their preseason finale next Saturday against the Giants.

421
00:24:39,400 --> 00:24:42,400
Speaker 5: Colts coach Shane Steiken said running back Jonathan Taylor will

422
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 5: travel with the team to.

423
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:44,800
Speaker 1: Philadelphia next week.

424
00:24:45,240 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 5: Rams receiver Cooper KAlP is set to return to practice.

425
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,000
Speaker 5: He's been dealing with a hamstring injury, but they will

426
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 5: get him back on the practice field this week. They've

427
00:24:52,960 --> 00:24:57,480
Speaker 5: got joint practices with the Broncos. Interesting story in Cincinnati

428
00:24:57,480 --> 00:25:00,840
Speaker 5: Bengals running back Joe Mixon declining to speak reporters in

429
00:25:00,840 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 5: his first practice since he was found not guilty in

430
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:07,840
Speaker 5: an aggravated menacing case. Mixon did say he would be

431
00:25:07,920 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 5: boycotting questions from four specific reporters representing ESPN Sports illustrated,

432
00:25:14,280 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 5: the Cincinnati Inquirer and Pro Football Network for what Mixon

433
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:23,320
Speaker 5: deemed as disrespectful behavior from those reporters. In baseball, he

434
00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:27,200
Speaker 5: got the MLB Literally Classic in Williams Poor going on

435
00:25:27,359 --> 00:25:29,760
Speaker 5: a four to zero lead for the Nationals over the

436

440
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,639
Speaker 5: Reds Toronto, just a half game back of Seattle for

441
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:47,160
Speaker 5: the final AL wildcard spot. Yankees have now lost eight

442
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 5: in a row, their longest losing streak since nineteen ninety five.

443
00:25:50,880 --> 00:25:53,240
Speaker 5: Red Sox got to go ahead ninth inning RBI double

444
00:25:53,280 --> 00:25:56,560
Speaker 5: from Justin Turner to win six to five. Giant salvage

445
00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 5: their weekend against the Braves with a four to three win.

446
00:25:58,840 --> 00:26:01,920
Speaker 5: San Francisco still hold holding onto that second wild card spot.

447
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 5: Cubs edge Royals four to three. Chicago's got a one

448
00:26:05,080 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 5: game lead for the final NL wildcard spot. Twin shut

449
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,560
Speaker 5: out the Pirates two to not Thing Brewers swept the

450
00:26:10,640 --> 00:26:11,879
Speaker 5: Rangers a six to two win.

451
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:12,520
Speaker 7: On Sunday.

452
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:16,120
Speaker 5: Max Scherzer moved into eleventh place on the career strikeout list.

453
00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 5: But the Rangers have lost four straight and the Orioles

454
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 5: had seventeen hits in a twelve to one blowout of

455

Speaker 5: E from Saloon, Okayn.

462
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:46,639
Speaker 1: Great stuff. Appreciate you on that one April.

463
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,800
Speaker 2: Maybe it was because I just heard someone else say

464
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 2: it instead of just reading it myself. The Joe Mixon

465
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 2: story that Nick just talked about.

466
00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: I saw it earlier.

467
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,000

469
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:14,320
Speaker 1: All right, hold on for a freaking second. So Joe Mixon.

470
00:27:15,560 --> 00:27:21,159
Speaker 2: Would like to shut people out, in other words, not

471
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:26,160
Speaker 2: give them a second chance or a chance to explain

472
00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:29,919
Speaker 2: themselves because they were disrespectful.

473
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:35,879
Speaker 1: Okay, there's two things about this.

474
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:39,040
Speaker 2: First of all, I can't stand it when people use

475
00:27:39,400 --> 00:27:44,479
Speaker 2: their words to ask for respect the second you do it.

476
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:51,320
Speaker 2: Just my opinion, yes, sound pathetic. You don't ask for respect,

477
00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:56,520
Speaker 2: you just earn it. It's just there. I can go

478
00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:58,880
Speaker 2: to bed tonight like many of you did in LA

479
00:27:59,359 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 2: and say I'd like there to be sudden tomorrow, but

480
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,960
Speaker 2: it's either just gonna be there or it's not.

481
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 1: Asking for it doesn't.

482
00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:14,080
Speaker 2: Do a damn thing. Respect is earned. It is something

483
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:18,920
Speaker 2: that people want to give you because of what they

484
00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 2: view and what they experience. Now that's one side of it.

485
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,800
Speaker 2: The second part of it is obvious. You already know

486
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,840
Speaker 2: what I'm gonna say before I say it. How disgusting

487
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,640
Speaker 2: is it for someone like Joe Mixon, with what he's

488
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,920
Speaker 2: been through in his life to tell other people you

489
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,040
Speaker 2: step out a line. I'm gonna shut you out because

490
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: if that's the way he thinks it should be handled,

491
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 2: then the NFL should have never let him in in

492
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:52,640
Speaker 2: the first place, because what he did in his past

493
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 2: is literally the most disrespectful thing that you can do

494
00:28:56,440 --> 00:29:02,040
Speaker 2: on planet Earth. That bothers me that Joe doesn't like

495
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 2: it when somebody steps out of line, as he's now

496
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 2: dealing with.

497
00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:10,080
Speaker 1: His third legal situation in his career.

498
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:19,320
Speaker 3: Stupid is what stupid does, Okay. And when you're a

499
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:24,320
Speaker 3: public figure and you do some things that you shouldn't

500
00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 3: do and they have legal ramifications, then you consistently do

501
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 3: those things, then each offense, your skin gets thinner and thinner, and.

502
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:42,240
Speaker 1: You can't.

503
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:49,240
Speaker 3: Criticize people for being disrespectful to you when they're talking

504
00:29:49,280 --> 00:29:56,520
Speaker 3: about the things that you've done that are disrespectful. No

505
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 3: reporter puts you in any of those situations. Even going

506
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 3: back to college, No reporter told you to do any

507
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 3: of those things. What there can do is they can

508
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,280
Speaker 3: give their opinion and then they can report on the case,

509
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,040
Speaker 3: and if you don't like it, then change the behavior.

510
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:25,760
Speaker 3: Like you said, this is the third situation he's had

511
00:30:25,800 --> 00:30:30,760
Speaker 3: to deal with.

512
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: With the law.

513
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:36,160
Speaker 3: Coming out of college, didn't even know if it was

514
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 3: gonna get drafted or be in the league. Altercation at

515
00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:48,560
Speaker 3: a bar hit a young woman. So you don't get

516
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:53,440
Speaker 3: to have it both ways. You don't get to burn

517
00:30:53,520 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 3: up at the house and then complain because they came

518
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 3: and talked about how you burned the house up.

519
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: Well, why don't you just you know, let me live.

520
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:07,760
Speaker 1: I don't like how you.

521
00:31:07,760 --> 00:31:09,680
Speaker 3: Well, you standing in the middle of the living room

522
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,560
Speaker 3: with a can of gasoline and some matches.

523
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: Brother, we're going to talk about it.

524
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:22,400
Speaker 3: You gotta be able to control yourself, and you got

525
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 3: to pass when you were a kid coming out of

526
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 3: CAI as a young man, he made a mistake.

527
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:28,880
Speaker 1: Well, now you.

528
00:31:28,800 --> 00:31:32,640
Speaker 3: Can't be a grown man and continue to make mistakes

529
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:39,280
Speaker 3: and expect people not to talk about it. Don't blame

530
00:31:39,320 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 3: the media. People have their own opinions and they're going

531
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: to report things based on the facts that they have,

532
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 3: and they're feeling about those facts. I can promise you

533
00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,120
Speaker 3: you're not gonna like it all.

534
00:31:58,760 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 1: Now.

535
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:03,719
Speaker 3: I don't know if that's a breach of the media

536
00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 3: code of conduct where he can exclude not. This may

537
00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:12,240
Speaker 3: cost him some money because from what I know, you

538
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:17,280
Speaker 3: as a player, aren't allowed to do that. If you're

539
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 3: requested for interviews, then you got to go do the interview.

540
00:32:24,600 --> 00:32:25,960
Speaker 3: You can't walk in and be like, oh, I'm not

541
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 3: talking to him. So hey, man, if you create situations,

542
00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 3: you got to live in them. You really do disrespectful.

543
00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 2: I'm on Joe Mixon's Wikipedia page, the legal issues portion.

544
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:48,120
Speaker 1: I have to.

545
00:32:48,280 --> 00:32:53,640
Speaker 2: Scroll in order to read it all. It doesn't fit

546
00:32:54,440 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 2: all on one screen. So if I not disrespect I

547
00:33:01,280 --> 00:33:05,160
Speaker 2: understand the background of Joe Mixon. I understand the allegations.

548
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 2: I know that that there are allegations that that are

549
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:13,320
Speaker 2: racial slur was used by a group of women potentially

550
00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 2: before the day after his eighteenth birthday that he broke

551
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:21,440
Speaker 2: her face. I understand that. And you can have any

552
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,960
Speaker 2: feeling that you want about it. Two people are allowed

553
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,400
Speaker 2: to be wrong at the same time.

554
00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:29,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's consequences for every action, right, Yeah, Like.

555
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:33,840
Speaker 2: Like this, this man is making millions of dollars and

556
00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:38,240
Speaker 2: has been welcomed into the Bengals organization and the National

557
00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:42,280
Speaker 2: Football League and uh and everybody this weekend in the

558
00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: third or fourth round of their draft will say, Joe,

559
00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 2: I'll take it, Joe mixing and life is is that

560
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 2: And because someone's got opinions about a Wikipedia page of

561
00:33:52,560 --> 00:33:55,240
Speaker 2: legal issues that I can't fit on one screen, that makes

562
00:33:55,280 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 2: them disrespectful. There are four different items listed here, starting

563
00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:03,840
Speaker 2: with when he broke the woman's face at age eighteen,

564
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:05,760
Speaker 2: which people will say as a kid.

565
00:34:05,880 --> 00:34:09,279
Speaker 1: It's also not a kid, not a kid, So.

566
00:34:11,520 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 2: Yach I don't know what else to say about Joe

567
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:16,320
Speaker 2: Mix and Joe Mixon should be cruising around in life,

568
00:34:17,000 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 2: thankful every single day and everybody he comes into contact

569
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:24,479
Speaker 2: with that he has been welcomed into the league. That's

570
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,040

Speaker 1: Hammer mix right now, Oaktown Touch and this is you

587
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:27,439
Speaker 1: can't touch.

588
00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,879
Speaker 2: Remember when he rebirthed the first time and took over

589
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:32,400
Speaker 2: the Atlanta Falcons sideline?

590
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: You remember that?

591
00:35:34,400 --> 00:35:36,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that's a Bay Area boy right there.

592
00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 2: He grew up as an Oakland A's bat boy. And uh,

593
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 2: I think it was because mainly the presidence of Dion.

594
00:35:45,440 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: Man. He just struck.

595
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:51,279
Speaker 2: He was like he was super cool. Then he got

596
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,160
Speaker 2: ripped by the hip hop community. And then Dion went

597
00:35:55,200 --> 00:35:58,160
Speaker 2: to the Falcons and Hammer showed up on the sideline

598
00:35:58,640 --> 00:36:01,839
Speaker 2: and too legit to quit and it was like a rebirth.

599
00:36:01,320 --> 00:36:08,440
Speaker 3: Man hammer Man, Yeah, tackle ball, commercials, cereal everything.

600
00:36:08,760 --> 00:36:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah. Oh he's a sellout.

601
00:36:12,760 --> 00:36:15,520
Speaker 2: Watch what you do when somebody shows up at your

602
00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,520
Speaker 2: door with that offer.

603
00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 1: I never got that man.

604
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:22,319
Speaker 2: In music, how come if a song ends up on

605
00:36:22,360 --> 00:36:25,880
Speaker 2: a commercial orders sellout and the song is dead?

606
00:36:26,239 --> 00:36:27,800
Speaker 1: Why? Why?

607
00:36:28,440 --> 00:36:30,680
Speaker 2: Like I was watching one of those old VH one

608
00:36:30,760 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 2: behind the music deals one.

609
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:35,200
Speaker 1: Time, and I don't even remember what the band was, but.

610
00:36:35,040 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 2: They're like, look, man, you could say that we sold out.

611
00:36:39,239 --> 00:36:43,800
Speaker 2: But when some corporation calls and basically what they're saying

612
00:36:43,920 --> 00:36:47,480
Speaker 2: is we'd like to use your song and in exchange

613
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 2: will put your child.

614
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,719
Speaker 1: Through college, both of them like, yes, how about yes?

615
00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,960
Speaker 1: Sell out? My gosh, people offer you money, you.

616
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:01,560
Speaker 2: Say yes, well you're not not not no matter what.

617
00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,799
Speaker 2: But you know what I'm saying, like breaking the law

618
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:05,440
Speaker 2: over here.

619
00:37:06,120 --> 00:37:14,600
Speaker 1: Broke thank you? Oh live golfers sellouts?

620
00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:20,480
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, okay, now everybody's lived golfers.

621
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:25,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, you turn it down, you turn it down. I

622
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:28,400
Speaker 2: can't believe he took a hundred million. You can't believe

623
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:31,840
Speaker 2: he took a hundred million dollars? That's your contention?

624
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: Is it that hard to believe?

625
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,560
Speaker 2: It's really not, it's really not. Well what kind of

626
00:37:38,560 --> 00:37:41,200
Speaker 2: a face would you use at a person who's like, so,

627
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,280
Speaker 2: they offered me a hundred mil. But yeah, just couldn't

628
00:37:44,280 --> 00:37:46,080
Speaker 2: do it. I don't know if we could be friends, man,

629
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:51,320
Speaker 2: Let yeah you did what unless it was something in

630
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:57,000
Speaker 2: ethical right, then it's like I get it. Well, many people,

631
00:37:57,480 --> 00:38:01,279
Speaker 2: many people would make me. I mean, there you go.

632
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:04,200
Speaker 2: I know, I know many people feel this is unethical.

633
00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:10,040
Speaker 2: My well, because they're you know, Saudi government money to

634
00:38:10,200 --> 00:38:11,319
Speaker 2: make money.

635
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,279
Speaker 1: Well, thank you, thank you.

636
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,480
Speaker 2: I would like you to so all the other governments

637
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:17,359
Speaker 2: are clean? Is that what I'm to be told?

638
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:24,640
Speaker 1: Thank you? That's all I'm saying. Anyway, glad you're with

639
00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,400
Speaker 1: us tyrack dot com Studios.

640
00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,440
Speaker 2: We'll get to that draft pick in just a second,

641
00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:34,080
Speaker 2: real quick. I was watching a lot of baseball today.

642
00:38:34,600 --> 00:38:36,279
Speaker 2: I don't know how familiar are with it. Do you

643
00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:38,080
Speaker 2: ever watch you watch a lot of ball and watch

644
00:38:38,160 --> 00:38:40,160
Speaker 2: Angel Hernandez ever behind the plate?

645
00:38:40,320 --> 00:38:41,240
Speaker 1: Never seen this happen?

646
00:38:42,520 --> 00:38:46,520
Speaker 2: No, you don't even do like, no, you don't watch

647
00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:48,759
Speaker 2: them or I mean you know what I'm getting at right?

648
00:38:48,880 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, good lord? What happened? Why?

649
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:59,040
Speaker 2: Why are baseball umpires like their like ten year track teachers?

650
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:07,520
Speaker 8: The performance doesn't matter? But just like no, why why

651
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:12,680
Speaker 8: can something not be done? He misses like every pitch.

652
00:39:14,080 --> 00:39:16,560
Speaker 8: It's complete insanity.

653
00:39:16,200 --> 00:39:24,359
Speaker 1: Watching him umpire its wild. I don't get it. At

654
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:31,320
Speaker 1: least be talking about it. When the book is written

655
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: on why they switch the robot of this will be

656
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:35,840
Speaker 1: the first chapter.

657
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:39,840
Speaker 2: They are keeping Angel Hernandez around so they've got someone

658
00:39:39,880 --> 00:39:40,719
Speaker 2: to put on the cover.

659
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:48,920
Speaker 1: That's he's on the cover of the book. It's just incredible.

660
00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,880
Speaker 2: It'll drive you, I mean if you don't, if you

661
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,640
Speaker 2: don't just laugh at it, it'll drive you absolutely nuts

662
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:04,719
Speaker 2: watching him call balls and strikes. Absolutely incredible. All right,

663
00:40:05,160 --> 00:40:07,920

00:40:19,840 --> 00:40:24,720
Speaker 2: fireable offense. More on that coming up on Fox Sports Radio.

Speaker 2: own former co host of Mine and offensive lineman brethren

682

Speaker 2: of yours.

683
00:41:10,719 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 1: And look, we've.

684
00:41:13,200 --> 00:41:16,800
Speaker 2: Talked about the forty nine er quarterback situation. Who hasn't

685
00:41:17,719 --> 00:41:20,839
Speaker 2: Ritz said something interesting though. I was watching a video

686
00:41:20,640 --> 00:41:23,480
Speaker 2: that he and Fox Sports Radio put together from the

687
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:27,839
Speaker 2: last forty eight hours, and he basically said that the

688
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,640
Speaker 2: forty nine ers have done such a good job in

689
00:41:30,840 --> 00:41:33,080
Speaker 2: pivoting from.

690
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:37,160
Speaker 1: What normally would be a fireable offense.

691
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:43,600
Speaker 2: Now, everybody has their opinions on Trey Lance.

692
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,440
Speaker 1: It is very emotional.

693
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:49,480
Speaker 2: And hot here in the Bay Area with regard to

694
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:52,800
Speaker 2: whether he's had a fair chance, whether the discussion about

695
00:41:52,880 --> 00:41:57,719
Speaker 2: him is fair, unfair, or what have you. I think

696
00:41:57,760 --> 00:42:01,800
Speaker 2: there's some fair points on both sides, which I'll hold

697
00:42:02,239 --> 00:42:05,040
Speaker 2: for just a second. So I don't want this to

698
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 2: sound like Rich or anyone else for that matter, is

699
00:42:08,160 --> 00:42:11,080
Speaker 2: saying that Trey Lance is never going to be good

700
00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:12,640
Speaker 2: in his careers over and he's a bust.

701
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:17,600
Speaker 1: That's not even the point. Forget Trey and his career

702
00:42:17,640 --> 00:42:17,960
Speaker 1: for a.

703
00:42:17,960 --> 00:42:22,200
Speaker 2: Second and instead simply look at a football team that

704
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:27,239
Speaker 2: gathered three years worth of first round draft assets and

705
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:31,080
Speaker 2: put them all into one player, and that player is

706
00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:35,359
Speaker 2: not playing for them, and they are now willfully deciding

707
00:42:36,280 --> 00:42:39,200
Speaker 2: that that player does not play for them, he's not

708
00:42:39,239 --> 00:42:41,680
Speaker 2: supposed to play for them, and he probably won't even

709
00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 2: play for them if the guy in front of him

710
00:42:43,600 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 2: gets hurt, because they're two guys in front of him.

711
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:51,320
Speaker 2: So it appears from that perspective, when you quote unquote

712
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:54,279
Speaker 2: as a coach and a GM hit your wagon too

713
00:42:54,360 --> 00:42:59,600
Speaker 2: a player and it goes that way, that's normally a

714
00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:04,160
Speaker 2: fireble offense. Forty nine ers have recovered by finding other

715
00:43:04,440 --> 00:43:10,280
Speaker 2: production and success into the playoffs. But first and foremost,

716
00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 2: what's your reaction to that that what Kyle Shanahan and

717
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,480
Speaker 2: John Lynch did with Trey Lance in the NFL is

718
00:43:16,719 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 2: normally a fire ruble offense.

719
00:43:19,760 --> 00:43:20,719
Speaker 1: I mean, I would agree with that.

720
00:43:21,320 --> 00:43:26,279
Speaker 3: Very few gms and coaches survive a miss like that,

721
00:43:26,440 --> 00:43:28,600
Speaker 3: especially when you trade up to get somebody and you

722
00:43:28,719 --> 00:43:31,360
Speaker 3: give away so much.

723
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:34,040
Speaker 1: Future capital.

724
00:43:34,960 --> 00:43:39,880
Speaker 3: You gotta remember, NFL first round draft picks runt like

725
00:43:39,960 --> 00:43:45,800
Speaker 3: NBA first round draft picks. You know, those are premium.

726
00:43:45,880 --> 00:43:49,359
Speaker 3: You can find Hall of Fame starters, you can find

727
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:53,920
Speaker 3: them in any realm. But those first round picks majority

728
00:43:53,920 --> 00:43:56,360
Speaker 3: of the time turn out to be year one starters.

729
00:43:58,640 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: There are more busts in.

730
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:02,120
Speaker 3: The first round in any other round because of the

731
00:44:02,160 --> 00:44:05,440
Speaker 3: notion of first round draft picks should be ready to play,

732
00:44:06,200 --> 00:44:10,000
Speaker 3: especially top ten draft picks. If you move up to

733
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:13,120
Speaker 3: get a quarterback, you should hope you do the right

734
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:17,520
Speaker 3: thing and you get one. But the Bears did it.

735
00:44:20,520 --> 00:44:25,920
Speaker 3: Matt Naggy, right, yep, Matt Naggy did it. It didn't work.

736
00:44:26,239 --> 00:44:29,640
Speaker 3: He went up to grab Mitchell Trubisky. Nobody it was

737
00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:33,720
Speaker 3: on no one's radar. He was on no one's radar.

738
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:34,960
Speaker 3: They really could.

739
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:36,760
Speaker 1: Have waited and got him.

740
00:44:37,360 --> 00:44:44,040
Speaker 3: Didn't work out for Matt Naggy or the GM And

741
00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:46,680
Speaker 3: so what the forty nine ers did, Yes, you gave

742
00:44:46,800 --> 00:44:52,040
Speaker 3: up so much future capital for someone who was beyond

743
00:44:52,080 --> 00:44:55,000
Speaker 3: the project and he still may very well be a

744
00:44:55,000 --> 00:45:01,120
Speaker 3: tremendous quarterback in the league. The difference is the forty

745
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,480
Speaker 3: nine ers were not in the place of rebuilding to

746
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,239
Speaker 3: let this young man learn on the go. It is

747
00:45:07,440 --> 00:45:12,360
Speaker 3: very difficult for you to draft Most good teams aren't

748
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:16,840
Speaker 3: in that position or can't get to that position to

749
00:45:17,080 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 3: draft a quarterback. So it's very difficult for a player

750
00:45:24,120 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 3: to develop, a young quarterback to develop when the team

751
00:45:28,160 --> 00:45:32,319
Speaker 3: is ready to win now, because your leash is so short. Yep,

752
00:45:32,800 --> 00:45:36,120
Speaker 3: it's very short. And if you get hurt anywhere in there.

753
00:45:37,680 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: It's been two years, he's had two separate injuries, it's like, okay,

754
00:45:42,160 --> 00:45:43,440
Speaker 3: we got to keep this thing, we got to keep

755
00:45:43,440 --> 00:45:47,239
Speaker 3: this train going when we've seen Remember he's the starter

756
00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,600
Speaker 3: Week one last year. Granted it was a month soon

757
00:45:50,680 --> 00:45:58,439
Speaker 3: in Chicago, but it was very underwhelming, then came out,

758
00:45:58,960 --> 00:46:06,440
Speaker 3: underperformed again, got hurt, and the train keeps moving. It

759
00:46:06,560 --> 00:46:11,600
Speaker 3: is a player's job to continue to run and catch

760
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:16,160
Speaker 3: up to the train. The train won't stop. The train's

761
00:46:16,239 --> 00:46:17,320
Speaker 3: not stopping for you.

762
00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:18,960
Speaker 1: No no, no, no no.

763
00:46:19,080 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 3: The train's not gonna stop. It's not gonna pull into

764
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:24,520
Speaker 3: the station and allow you to step on. When you're

765
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:29,640
Speaker 3: on a team that's Super Bowl or bust, that thing

766
00:46:29,760 --> 00:46:31,960
Speaker 3: is that's not only a train, that's a bullet train,

767
00:46:32,960 --> 00:46:38,040
Speaker 3: and you gotta be ready to go. These are metaphors

768
00:46:38,080 --> 00:46:41,600
Speaker 3: I'm using, but you literally have to be in a

769
00:46:41,719 --> 00:46:47,520
Speaker 3: in a position to step right in, learn, understand, and.

770
00:46:47,440 --> 00:46:54,919
Speaker 1: Be willing to whatever you do.

771
00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:58,880
Speaker 3: Grab onto that train, and and and and hitch on

772
00:46:59,280 --> 00:47:01,399
Speaker 3: and at the quarter a position, you got to drive

773
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,399
Speaker 3: a train. So not only do you have to get

774
00:47:03,400 --> 00:47:05,520
Speaker 3: on it, you have to somehow get on it. You

775
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:08,160
Speaker 3: got to drive that thing at that speed. And that's

776
00:47:08,200 --> 00:47:11,359
Speaker 3: difficult to do and you don't have a lot of time.

777
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:13,759
Speaker 3: They're not going to give you a lot of opportunity

778
00:47:13,840 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 3: to do that because they're trying to win. They're trying

779
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,120
Speaker 3: to win. They thought they had something, they don't. Now

780
00:47:24,120 --> 00:47:27,400
Speaker 3: they got something again, and you know, but they so

781
00:47:27,560 --> 00:47:30,800
Speaker 3: hey man, look that's how they survived because they continue

782
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:31,200
Speaker 3: to win.

783
00:47:31,600 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 1: Yep, yep.

784
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:40,960
Speaker 2: What's wild though, now is that unless something unforeseen happens, and.

785
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,160
Speaker 1: Seemingly it always does, especially with them.

786
00:47:44,080 --> 00:47:49,440
Speaker 2: Right, but unless a very certain set of circumstances unfold,

787
00:47:50,360 --> 00:47:52,560
Speaker 2: then Trey Lance is never going to be the starting

788
00:47:52,600 --> 00:47:55,960
Speaker 2: quarterback for the forty nine ers. So again, if we

789
00:47:56,040 --> 00:47:58,799
Speaker 2: separate his future, let's say he goes somewhere else in

790
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,319
Speaker 2: a year and actually has a career, whether it's a

791
00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:05,680
Speaker 2: great one, a good one, a sustainable one, something in between,

792
00:48:05,800 --> 00:48:10,000
Speaker 2: whatever whatever it is. But even if that happens, even

793
00:48:10,040 --> 00:48:13,040
Speaker 2: if Trey Lance becomes a QB one, somewhere. If he

794
00:48:13,120 --> 00:48:16,560
Speaker 2: doesn't do it with the forty nine ers, does it

795
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,799
Speaker 2: go down as one of the worst, if not the

796
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:25,320
Speaker 2: worst draft moves in the history of the league.

797
00:48:27,719 --> 00:48:32,680
Speaker 1: It's not JaMarcus Russell was pretty bad. But it's three

798
00:48:32,840 --> 00:48:37,680
Speaker 1: first rounds. It's three first rounds.

799
00:48:38,680 --> 00:48:42,480
Speaker 2: And so again I'm trying to remove anything personally directed

800
00:48:42,480 --> 00:48:44,960
Speaker 2: at Trey here and just look at it from the

801
00:48:45,000 --> 00:48:46,440
Speaker 2: perspective of the team.

802
00:48:46,840 --> 00:48:48,960
Speaker 1: They they used.

803
00:48:48,680 --> 00:48:53,960
Speaker 2: As many rounds, as many first rounds on him as

804
00:48:54,120 --> 00:48:56,040
Speaker 2: games that they got back in return.

805
00:49:00,920 --> 00:49:03,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't get They didn't get the return. They

806
00:49:03,400 --> 00:49:04,440
Speaker 3: didn't get the return of.

807
00:49:05,080 --> 00:49:07,880
Speaker 2: The ROI has got to be there with the worst

808
00:49:07,880 --> 00:49:08,879
Speaker 2: things we've ever seen.

809
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:15,279
Speaker 3: No, Yeah, but look, I want Trey to understand that

810
00:49:15,360 --> 00:49:18,560
Speaker 3: this isn't the end of his story. Look at Brett

811
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:22,680
Speaker 3: farrv was the second round draft pick. He lasted one

812
00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:27,279
Speaker 3: year in Atlanta and went on to be one of

813
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:28,200
Speaker 3: the all time greats.

814
00:49:31,960 --> 00:49:36,160
Speaker 1: So, you know, I.

815
00:49:36,400 --> 00:49:41,040
Speaker 3: Don't know what it is with Trey Lance. I know

816
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: he hasn't played a lot of football, and even more

817
00:49:46,640 --> 00:49:51,360
Speaker 3: so in practices because when you're hurt, you're hurt, so

818
00:49:51,440 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 3: you don't even get those practice reps running the scout

819
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,640
Speaker 3: team learning all of that. So, first off, this young

820
00:49:57,680 --> 00:49:59,759
Speaker 3: man has to stay healthy. Second off, he has to

821
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:04,400
Speaker 3: take huge strides and understand that this is a business.

822
00:50:06,320 --> 00:50:08,880
Speaker 3: Stop reading what the people say. San Francisco may not

823
00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:12,840
Speaker 3: be your spot. Don't hold on to it, don't hold

824
00:50:12,880 --> 00:50:18,279
Speaker 3: on to it. Don't feel like you're a failure. Don't

825
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:23,200
Speaker 3: use the narrative. I didn't get an opportunity. Just take it,

826
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:26,640
Speaker 3: learn from it, and move forward. Because if you hold

827
00:50:26,680 --> 00:50:31,040
Speaker 3: on to how people see you, it won't allow you

828
00:50:31,280 --> 00:50:35,000
Speaker 3: to get to the next destination and progress because you

829
00:50:35,080 --> 00:50:36,360
Speaker 3: always be looking over your shoulder.

830
00:50:37,239 --> 00:50:40,319
Speaker 2: I just don't understand why two things cannot both be

831
00:50:40,440 --> 00:50:48,239
Speaker 2: acknowledged as true. Number One, Trey lancewers as you just

832
00:50:48,280 --> 00:50:52,120
Speaker 2: put it, his story is not complete yet. He has

833
00:50:52,200 --> 00:50:55,440
Speaker 2: not played a ton of NFL football, and so to

834
00:50:55,560 --> 00:50:59,359
Speaker 2: write him off today and call him a bust and

835
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,799
Speaker 2: say you've enough and his career is never going to

836
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:06,399
Speaker 2: be anything is incredibly premature.

837
00:51:08,640 --> 00:51:10,640
Speaker 1: True.

838
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:15,920
Speaker 2: However, here's something that's starting to get to me, because

839
00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:19,880
Speaker 2: you hear a lot of people give the man a chance.

840
00:51:21,040 --> 00:51:25,480
Speaker 2: He's barely played football.

841
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:26,760
Speaker 1: You know where I'm going.

842
00:51:27,960 --> 00:51:34,840
Speaker 2: Stop with the he's barely played football. Okay, brock Purdy.

843
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 1: And I know about a four year starter.

844
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:40,560
Speaker 2: Mark great as if that just makes people good in

845
00:51:40,600 --> 00:51:43,399
Speaker 2: the NFL. Well, if you went to college, then you're

846
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:47,959
Speaker 2: good when you get to the NFL. No, No, that's

847
00:51:48,040 --> 00:51:51,600
Speaker 2: not how it works. One of Trey's biggest problems is

848
00:51:51,640 --> 00:51:55,959
Speaker 2: that somebody who's the exact same age as him, who

849
00:51:57,520 --> 00:52:01,440
Speaker 2: came in last year and what isn't even getting reps

850
00:52:01,480 --> 00:52:08,400
Speaker 2: in training camp. Okay, walked in, snapped a finger and produced.

851
00:52:09,600 --> 00:52:14,600
Speaker 2: You talk about Trey Lance's lack of opportunity because of injury.

852
00:52:14,680 --> 00:52:16,680
Speaker 1: The injuries have always happened in season.

853
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:21,719
Speaker 2: This is now training camp three, and he's never been

854
00:52:22,880 --> 00:52:24,680
Speaker 2: fully hurt and unable.

855
00:52:24,320 --> 00:52:25,880
Speaker 1: To go in training camps.

856
00:52:26,760 --> 00:52:28,960
Speaker 2: He was ready to go as a rookie and under

857
00:52:29,040 --> 00:52:34,640
Speaker 2: Jimmy g last year, QB one reps starter training camp,

858
00:52:34,760 --> 00:52:36,360
Speaker 2: this year training camp.

859
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:40,880
Speaker 1: This idea, I've never heard this.

860
00:52:40,800 --> 00:52:44,720
Speaker 2: Before in professional sports, where somebody looks at a highly

861
00:52:44,800 --> 00:52:49,879
Speaker 2: touted player three years in and goes, we gotta give

862
00:52:49,880 --> 00:52:55,879
Speaker 2: it time. You've got to give it time. I will

863
00:52:55,960 --> 00:52:58,480
Speaker 2: totally hear you. If you tell me he's not had

864
00:52:58,600 --> 00:53:05,400
Speaker 2: enough games to write him off, that's fine. Put the

865
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:10,200
Speaker 2: number three overall pick three years later. Wow, we have

866
00:53:10,239 --> 00:53:10,960
Speaker 2: to give it time.

867
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:15,000
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.

868
00:53:15,080 --> 00:53:18,440
Speaker 2: It's not that this sport doesn't work that way. You

869
00:53:18,760 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 2: don't get picked top five and three years later have

870
00:53:21,960 --> 00:53:24,920
Speaker 2: people go, yeah, I haven't, haven't had I don't. I

871
00:53:24,960 --> 00:53:26,799
Speaker 2: don't know how we can even have an opinion. Yet,

872
00:53:26,880 --> 00:53:30,919
Speaker 2: Yes you can, Yes you can. His career can still

873
00:53:30,960 --> 00:53:34,239
Speaker 2: have a lot left, and I can I can kindly

874
00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:39,080
Speaker 2: and confidently say right now this has not gone well

875
00:53:39,200 --> 00:53:40,640
Speaker 2: and should be further along.

876
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:45,000
Speaker 3: Oh, without a doubt. When you see the progression of

877
00:53:45,120 --> 00:53:53,719
Speaker 3: other first round quarterbacks. I mean, this is year three, correct.

878
00:53:54,640 --> 00:53:58,000
Speaker 1: This is year three. This is year three, and we've

879
00:53:58,000 --> 00:53:58,560
Speaker 1: all made up.

880
00:53:58,600 --> 00:54:01,120
Speaker 2: We've all made up our mind on Zach Wilson, picked

881
00:54:01,200 --> 00:54:03,680
Speaker 2: right in front of him. We've all got opinions on

882
00:54:03,800 --> 00:54:07,200
Speaker 2: mac Jones. We've decided that Trevor Lawrence was great and

883
00:54:07,239 --> 00:54:09,279
Speaker 2: he went through Urban Meyer.

884
00:54:09,040 --> 00:54:12,440
Speaker 1: As a rookie.

885
00:54:12,680 --> 00:54:16,000
Speaker 3: You got to bring something to the table that your

886
00:54:16,080 --> 00:54:20,799
Speaker 3: team and others can latch onto. When you don't do that,

887
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:28,520
Speaker 3: it is your responsibility as a professional athlete to bring

888
00:54:28,719 --> 00:54:33,760
Speaker 3: something to the table. The higher you are in the draft,

889
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:38,360
Speaker 3: the more you must bring to the table. That is

890
00:54:38,680 --> 00:54:44,200
Speaker 3: the fact of the matter. Now you sitting here feeling

891
00:54:44,239 --> 00:54:47,440
Speaker 3: like you didn't get the opportunity you needed, or you

892
00:54:47,440 --> 00:54:50,080
Speaker 3: didn't get a chance, or any naysayers that they need

893
00:54:50,120 --> 00:54:51,000
Speaker 3: to give him a chance.

894
00:54:52,360 --> 00:54:53,600
Speaker 1: He got a chance, and.

895
00:54:53,560 --> 00:54:58,720
Speaker 3: A chance is like everybody else, you have to bring

896
00:54:58,840 --> 00:55:02,520
Speaker 3: something to the table. You have to be like Justin

897
00:55:02,560 --> 00:55:08,200
Speaker 3: Fields as a good example, that awful, right, he's had

898
00:55:08,280 --> 00:55:13,240
Speaker 3: awful seasons. Bears haven't done anything. He has more leeway

899
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,680
Speaker 3: because they weren't built. Their roster itself was awful, probably

900
00:55:16,680 --> 00:55:19,520
Speaker 3: one of the worst in the International Football League.

901
00:55:19,719 --> 00:55:19,959
Speaker 1: Yep.

902
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:24,160
Speaker 3: So he's had time to be bad and make mistakes,

903
00:55:24,200 --> 00:55:28,200
Speaker 3: get those corrected as the team is growing. This is

904
00:55:28,360 --> 00:55:30,880
Speaker 3: year what for Justin Fields?

905
00:55:31,920 --> 00:55:34,839
Speaker 1: This is three. Guess what they're saying.

906
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:38,480
Speaker 3: Guess what they were saying with Jalen Hurts at the

907
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:45,359
Speaker 3: beginning of year three. Mm hmm, this is it now.

908
00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:48,560
Speaker 3: If you haven't done enough to stay in a position

909
00:55:50,719 --> 00:55:53,839
Speaker 3: to advance in year three, brother, you got to look

910
00:55:53,840 --> 00:55:57,879
Speaker 3: in the mirror. You got to look in the mirror.

911
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:00,440
Speaker 3: You had all the offensive weapons you can possibly handle.

912
00:56:01,760 --> 00:56:04,719
Speaker 3: If you can't get them the ball or have a

913
00:56:04,719 --> 00:56:11,000
Speaker 3: firm grasp of the offense, it's a you it's not them,

914
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,840
Speaker 3: it's not Shanahan, it's not John.

915
00:56:16,680 --> 00:56:19,040
Speaker 1: It's a you thing. We have to take ownership as

916
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 1: professional athletes. For us.

917
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,600
Speaker 3: I beat somebody out my rookie year as a seventh

918
00:56:25,719 --> 00:56:30,600
Speaker 3: round draft pick to start on a super Bowl caliber team.

919
00:56:30,840 --> 00:56:33,880
Speaker 1: And where did they make that evaluation in training camp?

920
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:35,120
Speaker 1: Thank you?

921
00:56:35,360 --> 00:56:40,720
Speaker 3: The last preseason game he started, I played, the second,

922
00:56:40,960 --> 00:56:44,040
Speaker 3: he played, the third, I played the fourth. Whoever played,

923
00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:47,719
Speaker 3: we were told this before the game. Whoever plays the

924
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:50,959
Speaker 3: best will start next week in Carolina Opening Day.

925
00:56:52,080 --> 00:56:58,520
Speaker 1: That's it. Nothing was given. I was trying to make

926
00:56:58,520 --> 00:57:03,600
Speaker 1: the team and starting. Yep, it was earned. All right.

927
00:57:04,440 --> 00:57:06,560
Speaker 2: Much more on this because, by the way, we started

928
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 2: this conversation with something our buddy Rich Hornberger said, he

929
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:11,600
Speaker 2: tweeted something else.

930
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:12,920
Speaker 1: Check this out.

931
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 2: He says, to be honest, if Rock Perdy gets hurt

932
00:57:16,520 --> 00:57:23,080
Speaker 2: this season, Philip rivers is still their best plan. B Okay,

Speaker 1: Slash match now.

946
00:57:59,440 --> 00:58:04,240
Speaker 2: Look, I'm still in the throes of reviewing yesterday's preseason

947
00:58:04,280 --> 00:58:07,400
Speaker 2: game between the forty nine ers and the Broncos, so

948
00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,160
Speaker 2: I have not been able to review all of the

949
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:11,520
Speaker 2: tape yet. I do know this, I do know this.

950
00:58:11,840 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 2: Perdy came out and he looked like Perdy. Trey Lance

951
00:58:16,480 --> 00:58:19,160
Speaker 2: had a lot of the second half duty and looked

952
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:22,440
Speaker 2: much better. Not perfect by any stretch, but much better

953
00:58:22,480 --> 00:58:25,600
Speaker 2: than he did against the Raiders the week before. Sam

954
00:58:25,680 --> 00:58:29,400
Speaker 2: Donald I have not reviewed yet, but for the most part,

955
00:58:29,560 --> 00:58:32,160
Speaker 2: it sounds like the reviews on Sam were that he

956
00:58:32,320 --> 00:58:34,880
Speaker 2: was like, you know, put a tone.

957
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:38,640
Speaker 1: To it good. It didn't you know, it wasn't like amazing.

958
00:58:38,920 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: He didn't do anything wrong either.

959
00:58:40,760 --> 00:58:45,280
Speaker 2: So the Rivers comment made by our guy Rich Hornberger

960
00:58:45,320 --> 00:58:49,280
Speaker 2: a reference to something that Kyle Shanahan recently said on

961
00:58:49,360 --> 00:58:52,720
Speaker 2: a podcast which was that had the forty nine ers

962
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:55,040
Speaker 2: somehow made it through the Eagles and into the super

963
00:58:55,040 --> 00:58:59,840
Speaker 2: Bowl and Perdy was a no go and Garoppolo wasn't ready,

964
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:03,840
Speaker 2: they were gonna call Philip Rivers, and Philip Rivers was

965
00:59:03,880 --> 00:59:06,960
Speaker 2: just gonna sign and play the Super Bowl. It would

966
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,840
Speaker 2: have been the most amazing story ever. It would have

967
00:59:09,840 --> 00:59:12,240
Speaker 2: been incredible. Philip finally makes the Super Bowl?

968
00:59:12,240 --> 00:59:15,120
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? Incredible?

969
00:59:18,040 --> 00:59:24,320
Speaker 2: But Philip, who's on his seventy eighth child, I believe

970
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:25,320
Speaker 2: they just had it.

971
00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:32,640
Speaker 1: Do something. Man, we need we need some other things

972
00:59:32,720 --> 00:59:38,520
Speaker 1: to get into Philip is forty one.

973
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:51,440
Speaker 2: And break seriously, seriously forty one years old, and and

974
00:59:51,520 --> 00:59:54,520
Speaker 2: Rich says that's still their best option behind Brock Party.

975
00:59:54,600 --> 00:59:55,720
Speaker 1: What's your reaction to that.

976
00:59:56,760 --> 01:00:02,520
Speaker 3: I think Sam Donald, you know, Sam Brono is a

977
01:00:02,600 --> 01:00:06,720
Speaker 3: viable option in that offense with those weapons, Philip Rivers,

978
01:00:07,800 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 3: it's too removed from the game.

979
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:10,360
Speaker 1: Once.

980
01:00:10,520 --> 01:00:12,919
Speaker 3: You can't sit out like that and income pop back.

981
01:00:13,160 --> 01:00:15,560
Speaker 3: No matter how good you've been, it just doesn't work

982
01:00:15,600 --> 01:00:18,400
Speaker 3: like that. Football doesn't work like that, especially when you

983
01:00:18,440 --> 01:00:23,560
Speaker 3: have as many miles on that arm as Philip Rivers does, right,

984
01:00:23,680 --> 01:00:25,960
Speaker 3: that's just like someone said, Eli Manning could come back

985
01:00:26,320 --> 01:00:31,760
Speaker 3: and they can't even run fast enough to catch up

986
01:00:31,800 --> 01:00:35,440
Speaker 3: to the train. Now, that was if they would have

987
01:00:35,560 --> 01:00:39,520
Speaker 3: somehow miraculously won that game at the NFC Championship Game

988
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,400
Speaker 3: and found themselves in the Super Bowl, then that's a

989
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:46,640
Speaker 3: hell marriage. You had nothing else, But you don't go

990
01:00:46,720 --> 01:00:50,280
Speaker 3: into the season, you know, even thinking about that like that,

991
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:56,600
Speaker 3: you got three guys on the roster, that everything else

992
01:00:56,720 --> 01:01:01,280
Speaker 3: being perfect, God forbid, something happened to the Brock party again.

993
01:01:01,680 --> 01:01:05,160
Speaker 3: Sam Donald can step in and then you know, eventually

994
01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:08,440
Speaker 3: you're gonna have to just put him out there, Trey Lance, and.

995
01:01:10,040 --> 01:01:11,840
Speaker 1: Go down with the ship. You gotta let him fits.

996
01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:14,840
Speaker 3: Well, the thing is they don't. The least is so

997
01:01:14,840 --> 01:01:16,720
Speaker 3: sure because they don't. They can't afford to give up

998
01:01:16,720 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: two three games, right when isn't that going? It's like, oh, okay,

999
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:24,440
Speaker 3: we got to make a switch. So if you're the

1000
01:01:24,560 --> 01:01:27,360
Speaker 3: last option, then you got all the time in the world.

1001
01:01:28,440 --> 01:01:31,200
Speaker 2: Well, I like, I'm not convinced. I have no idea

1002
01:01:31,200 --> 01:01:34,479
Speaker 2: who's going. It sounds like Donald is in the lead

1003
01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:37,000
Speaker 2: for QB two. It sounds like that's what the forty

1004
01:01:37,040 --> 01:01:38,720
Speaker 2: nine ers want. I don't know that it's gonna end

1005
01:01:38,800 --> 01:01:41,480
Speaker 2: up going that way. They've still got another preseason game

1006
01:01:41,480 --> 01:01:43,520
Speaker 2: to play, And even if it does go that way,

1007
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:46,160
Speaker 2: it doesn't mean it won't change by the time something

1008
01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,000
Speaker 2: happens if it does. But I'm a believer in two

1009
01:01:50,080 --> 01:01:53,720
Speaker 2: things in this particular situation. A I'm a believer that

1010
01:01:53,800 --> 01:01:58,000
Speaker 2: players can look different with different surroundings. So as much

1011
01:01:58,040 --> 01:01:59,760
Speaker 2: as the world wants to talk about whether or not

1012
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:03,080
Speaker 2: you're giving up on Trey Lance, I haven't fully given

1013
01:02:03,160 --> 01:02:04,160
Speaker 2: up on Sam Donald.

1014
01:02:05,840 --> 01:02:10,720
Speaker 1: Like I don't start just as a viable player in

1015
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:11,360
Speaker 1: the NFL.

1016
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:18,760
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see what he looks like with

1017
01:02:18,880 --> 01:02:19,960
Speaker 2: an offensive coach.

1018
01:02:21,080 --> 01:02:22,959
Speaker 1: I am, especially this one.

1019
01:02:23,720 --> 01:02:27,480
Speaker 2: I'm very curious to see if that doesn't look different

1020
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 2: than what we've seen to this point in his career,

1021
01:02:30,360 --> 01:02:33,480
Speaker 2: which is way too turnover heavy.

1022
01:02:34,200 --> 01:02:42,960
Speaker 3: Remember when David Carr left Houston, he became a good,

1023
01:02:43,200 --> 01:02:49,880
Speaker 3: solid backup in New York for a long time. That's

1024
01:02:49,920 --> 01:02:54,480
Speaker 3: Sam Donald. He can step in, he can fill in.

1025
01:02:54,840 --> 01:02:58,960
Speaker 3: He can get you a win or two three, depending

1026
01:02:58,960 --> 01:03:04,040
Speaker 3: on the talent on your team. But that's that's it.

1027
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:06,360
Speaker 3: That's that's what and that's what you want from a

1028
01:03:06,400 --> 01:03:07,360
Speaker 3: backup quarterback.

1029
01:03:09,800 --> 01:03:11,000
Speaker 1: That's why they're a backup.

1030
01:03:11,200 --> 01:03:13,920
Speaker 3: You don't need Sam Donald to come in and and

1031
01:03:14,200 --> 01:03:20,080
Speaker 3: and try to regain his form and be the starter

1032
01:03:20,200 --> 01:03:22,560
Speaker 3: for the next ten years. And it's not gonna happen

1033
01:03:23,400 --> 01:03:27,439
Speaker 3: because after a certain point, you are the player you are.

1034
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:33,439
Speaker 1: This is Sam's what third team. Third team.

1035
01:03:33,680 --> 01:03:38,880
Speaker 3: Sam had a lot of opportunity to keep himself a

1036
01:03:38,960 --> 01:03:40,960
Speaker 3: starting in the National Football League.

1037
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:45,120
Speaker 1: It doesn't work. It doesn't work. He didn't do it. No,

1038
01:03:45,680 --> 01:03:47,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you, there.

1039
01:03:47,360 --> 01:03:49,520
Speaker 3: With there, I'm not saying that he doesn't have value.

1040
01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:53,360
Speaker 3: There's no value. He definitely has value well.

1041
01:03:53,400 --> 01:03:55,640
Speaker 2: And the trade thing and again I don't know if

1042
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:58,560
Speaker 2: he's QB three or or what happens with Trey Lance,

1043
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:02,120
Speaker 2: but uh, for most NFL teams, if you lose your

1044
01:04:02,160 --> 01:04:05,560
Speaker 2: starter and your backup in an NFL season.

1045
01:04:05,320 --> 01:04:07,720
Speaker 1: Your year is cooked already anyway.

1046
01:04:08,360 --> 01:04:11,600
Speaker 2: So the forty nine ers are actually in an advantageous

1047
01:04:11,600 --> 01:04:16,000
Speaker 2: position that if it did fall that way, there's still

1048
01:04:16,040 --> 01:04:19,840
Speaker 2: a storyline and something to incentivize this.

1049
01:04:19,800 --> 01:04:22,000
Speaker 1: Whole thing to go.

1050
01:04:22,280 --> 01:04:26,120
Speaker 2: Like, if it falls to that again, any other NFL

1051
01:04:26,160 --> 01:04:28,840
Speaker 2: team gets to QB three, their year is cooked.

1052
01:04:28,880 --> 01:04:31,000
Speaker 1: If the forty nine ers get to QB three the.

1053
01:04:32,640 --> 01:04:35,920
Speaker 2: Well, or even if they don't, it's like, well, okay,

1054
01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:38,800
Speaker 2: here it is your chance. I don't know if they

1055
01:04:38,960 --> 01:04:42,960
Speaker 2: get their but here's your chance, and let's see if

1056
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,040
Speaker 2: you can make good on it. So it's the most

1057
01:04:46,080 --> 01:04:51,240
Speaker 2: controversial quarterback situation in the NFL, but it might end

1058
01:04:51,320 --> 01:04:55,040
Speaker 2: up in some ways like no, I wouldn't trade a

1059
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:59,280
Speaker 2: Mahomes or an Allen for this situation, but the depth

1060
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:06,360
Speaker 2: of what's going on there is actually a strength potentially.

1061
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:12,960
Speaker 3: I look, they need it because we saw the wheels

1062
01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:17,200
Speaker 3: fall off in the biggest game of the year for them,

1063
01:05:17,440 --> 01:05:17,760
Speaker 3: and it.

1064
01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:18,480
Speaker 1: Was fast too.

1065
01:05:18,480 --> 01:05:21,320
Speaker 3: They had an opportunity in that game because Philly to

1066
01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:27,360
Speaker 3: really win that game, and it did not work.

1067
01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:33,440
Speaker 1: Out for him. So they've stacked the day. They've stacked

1068
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:33,720
Speaker 1: the day.

1069
01:05:37,480 --> 01:05:40,640
Speaker 2: So have we because even when we lose Steve de Seger,

1070
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:45,320
Speaker 2: we get Nick Cope. So like an example of what

1071
01:05:45,360 --> 01:05:50,160
Speaker 2: we're talking about right here at Fox Sports Radio going.

1072
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:53,760

1114
01:08:11,760 --> 01:08:14,600
Speaker 5: Let's go back to Mark Willard and eat from saloon.

1115
01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 2: Okay, Nick, great stuff, Thank you very very much, appreciates you.

1116
01:08:20,360 --> 01:08:22,840
Speaker 2: We are going to get to win totals across the NFC.

1117
01:08:22,960 --> 01:08:26,400
Speaker 2: We'll do the NFC this week, the AFC next week

1118
01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,000
Speaker 2: and allow that to kind of open up a conversation

1119
01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,040
Speaker 2: about what we're thinking about some of these teams.

1120
01:08:32,040 --> 01:08:35,360
Speaker 1: Because I told you this, I told you this last week.

1121
01:08:35,400 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 1: He from my laugh.

1122
01:08:36,280 --> 01:08:41,080
Speaker 2: Every year when we look at a big board of

1123
01:08:41,960 --> 01:08:46,040
Speaker 2: the standings from last year and we make a couple

1124
01:08:46,040 --> 01:08:50,479
Speaker 2: of tweaks based on some popular thoughts, and then poof,

1125
01:08:50,560 --> 01:08:52,840
Speaker 2: that's it. We've all decided. We know exactly how this

1126
01:08:52,960 --> 01:08:56,280
Speaker 2: is going to go. You know, I think in the

1127
01:08:56,320 --> 01:09:00,240
Speaker 2: East it's the Bills with three viable challengers, in the

1128
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:04,680
Speaker 2: North it's the Bengals with two and a half viable challengers.

1129
01:09:05,400 --> 01:09:07,920
Speaker 2: The South is the Jags and a bunch of junk. Again,

1130
01:09:07,960 --> 01:09:11,200
Speaker 2: this is perception, not what I'm saying. And the West

1131
01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:13,679
Speaker 2: belongs to the Chiefs and we'll see if the Chargers

1132
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:18,839
Speaker 2: and Broncos can can do their thing Niners win the West,

1133
01:09:19,560 --> 01:09:23,160
Speaker 2: NFC South is a bunch of who cares. The Lions

1134
01:09:23,240 --> 01:09:27,519
Speaker 2: will over overtake the Vikings in the North, the Eagles

1135
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,280
Speaker 2: will edge out the Cowboys in the East. And that's

1136
01:09:31,400 --> 01:09:34,000
Speaker 2: this year's NFL season. Why are we even gonna play?

1137
01:09:35,280 --> 01:09:38,280
Speaker 2: But what we all know is there's no way in

1138
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,400
Speaker 2: hell that that's the way it's actually.

1139
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:42,600
Speaker 3: Gonna God no, unless you have the you know what

1140
01:09:42,680 --> 01:09:46,320
Speaker 3: I mean, the sports almanac from Back to the Future.

1141
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:53,200
Speaker 1: That Biff went back and found. Other than that, yeah,

1142
01:09:53,240 --> 01:09:57,519
Speaker 1: good luck, good luck, good luck.

1143
01:09:57,600 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 2: So I would love to die ime in and learn

1144
01:10:01,240 --> 01:10:03,519
Speaker 2: a little bit more about where you and I sit

1145
01:10:04,320 --> 01:10:07,800
Speaker 2: in terms of what we do actually think are the

1146
01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:12,200
Speaker 2: teams that maybe are being elevated a little bit too much,

1147
01:10:12,439 --> 01:10:16,680
Speaker 2: and then vice versa, teams that have been dismissed that

1148
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:20,559
Speaker 2: could be viable options this year.

1149
01:10:21,200 --> 01:10:23,960
Speaker 1: So we'll do that coming up in a little bit.

1150
01:10:24,240 --> 01:10:26,599
Speaker 2: We're livingt the tyrack dot Com Studios want to take

1151
01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:30,200

01:11:16,280 --> 01:11:20,439
Speaker 2: better crack Krackenberger Bill Krackenberger to lead you right up

1165
01:11:20,479 --> 01:11:23,559
Speaker 2: to the early NFL kickoffs. You can listen to countdown

1166
01:11:23,600 --> 01:11:26,920
Speaker 2: to kickoff weekend mornings right here on Fox Sports Radio

1167
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:29,759
Speaker 2: and the iHeartRadio app. Why do we have so many

1168
01:11:29,960 --> 01:11:32,400
Speaker 2: former offensive linemen running around these parts?

1169
01:11:32,600 --> 01:11:33,280
Speaker 1: What's up with that?

1170
01:11:33,400 --> 01:11:33,599
Speaker 2: Man?

1171
01:11:39,080 --> 01:11:39,639
Speaker 1: You need them?

1172
01:11:40,040 --> 01:11:45,600
Speaker 2: Salaam salaam Ornberger, Schwartz, What do you think using the

1173
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:48,120
Speaker 2: Schwartz we have the best opinions.

1174
01:11:48,160 --> 01:11:51,240
Speaker 1: We y'all think you're smart, Well, we.

1175
01:11:51,200 --> 01:11:55,400
Speaker 3: Are smart, and statistically we're the smart if you if

1176
01:11:55,439 --> 01:11:56,720
Speaker 3: you look at it with the smart as of the

1177
01:11:56,760 --> 01:12:02,880
Speaker 3: team okay, just it's the position that relies on four

1178
01:12:03,080 --> 01:12:09,720
Speaker 3: other people to make it go. So when you have that,

1179
01:12:09,840 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 3: it's not an individual effort thing. Everyone has to be

1180
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:15,519
Speaker 3: on the same page, you know, I get it all

1181
01:12:15,560 --> 01:12:18,160
Speaker 3: eleven on offense have to be on. But the receiver

1182
01:12:18,320 --> 01:12:23,000
Speaker 3: not running the right route right has nothing to do

1183
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:26,559
Speaker 3: with the protection and opening up the holes and gaining

1184
01:12:26,680 --> 01:12:29,519
Speaker 3: yards and you know, so we have to be on

1185
01:12:29,600 --> 01:12:30,479
Speaker 3: the same page.

1186
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:34,240
Speaker 2: That's why outside of yes, we have an opinion. You know,

1187
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:37,400
Speaker 2: do you know what else? So you may have opinions

1188
01:12:37,520 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 2: outside of hockey. I've decided you're the most ego free

1189
01:12:41,880 --> 01:12:42,439
Speaker 2: group in.

1190
01:12:42,439 --> 01:12:47,880
Speaker 1: Professional period two period because which makes sense. Of course,

1191
01:12:48,040 --> 01:12:51,000
Speaker 1: it makes sense. Like your job is to protect other people.

1192
01:12:51,760 --> 01:12:52,840
Speaker 1: That's our job.

1193
01:12:53,200 --> 01:12:58,320
Speaker 3: We are protecting to eat Yeah, any any did.

1194
01:12:58,120 --> 01:12:59,679
Speaker 1: You calorie cowt when you're in the league.

1195
01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:03,400
Speaker 3: I was a small lineman, so I you know, I

1196
01:13:03,400 --> 01:13:06,680
Speaker 3: could eat anything. I never missed weight or never been

1197
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:09,360
Speaker 3: fine for missing when I got drafted. I was to

1198
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:12,559
Speaker 3: eighty five when I got to the league. I played

1199
01:13:12,560 --> 01:13:14,400
Speaker 3: my first year in the league at two eighty five

1200
01:13:14,680 --> 01:13:15,759
Speaker 3: at a right tackle.

1201
01:13:19,360 --> 01:13:22,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was It sounds fun. It sounds fun to

1202
01:13:22,320 --> 01:13:22,880
Speaker 1: the rest of us.

1203
01:13:22,920 --> 01:13:24,920
Speaker 2: I don't know if it actually is the whole like

1204
01:13:25,479 --> 01:13:26,880
Speaker 2: just constantly eating thing.

1205
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:31,479
Speaker 3: No, but you you there was not as much nutrition

1206
01:13:31,840 --> 01:13:36,639
Speaker 3: back then, so you pretty much could just eat what

1207
01:13:36,720 --> 01:13:37,520
Speaker 3: you wanted.

1208
01:13:37,240 --> 01:13:39,160
Speaker 1: To eat fire away. Yeah.

1209
01:13:39,200 --> 01:13:43,200
Speaker 3: But we were all in shape though, right, we were

1210
01:13:43,280 --> 01:13:47,720
Speaker 3: all physically fit with stomachs.

1211
01:13:50,360 --> 01:13:53,559
Speaker 2: Sounds fun, it really does. It sounds fun. I don't

1245
01:15:53,080 --> 01:15:55,559

1246
01:15:55,560 --> 01:15:58,200
Speaker 3: one hundred and ten outside, but when the power goes out,

1247
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,479

Speaker 2: do dig that because that's not those things are not

1262
01:16:48,880 --> 01:16:52,160
Speaker 2: normally most people don't wake up with those being their priorities.

1263
01:16:52,880 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 1: We should drink more.

1264

Speaker 2: full in the process of getting you ready for that.

1332
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:07,559
Speaker 2: I threw all the win totals out and because you

1333
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:12,400
Speaker 2: mentioned the Falcons first, in no particular order, let's go

1334
01:21:13,439 --> 01:21:15,880
Speaker 2: to all of the NFC divisions and start with the

1335
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:21,320
Speaker 2: NFC South. As mentioned, the Falcons are sitting at eight

1336
01:21:21,400 --> 01:21:21,800
Speaker 2: and a.

1337
01:21:21,720 --> 01:21:26,280
Speaker 1: Half for their win total. You said that stood out.

1338
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:31,240
Speaker 1: Why it's.

1339
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:39,559
Speaker 3: I don't think I don't see them winning eight games?

1340
01:21:41,280 --> 01:21:43,880
Speaker 3: Do you like, I don't I don't see I don't

1341
01:21:43,880 --> 01:21:48,600
Speaker 3: know if they have. Well, when you look at that

1342
01:21:48,680 --> 01:21:52,040
Speaker 3: division and it's a the division is up for grabs, Clearly,

1343
01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:57,120
Speaker 3: the Saints are in a better position than any other team.

1344
01:21:57,120 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 3: They actually have two quarterbacks that can play, that can

1345
01:22:00,360 --> 01:22:07,080
Speaker 3: start right and any on any of these other teams.

1346
01:22:09,080 --> 01:22:14,960
Speaker 3: But I just I feel like and and look the Falcons,

1347
01:22:15,000 --> 01:22:23,559
Speaker 3: they have a favorable schedule, but I don't see them

1348
01:22:23,600 --> 01:22:26,360
Speaker 3: winning eight games. Eight games is a lot of games

1349
01:22:26,400 --> 01:22:29,080
Speaker 3: to win when you don't have the tools and the

1350
01:22:29,160 --> 01:22:33,080
Speaker 3: team uh to get that done well.

1351
01:22:33,240 --> 01:22:36,240
Speaker 2: I mean, I think that the simplistic way of saying

1352
01:22:36,240 --> 01:22:39,360
Speaker 2: what you're saying is there's only one team in the

1353
01:22:39,400 --> 01:22:44,799
Speaker 2: division who has a quarterback we trust, yes, and and

1354
01:22:44,800 --> 01:22:48,599
Speaker 2: and you look at the other three that that that

1355
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:52,360
Speaker 2: does not mean they're going to get poor quarterback play, but.

1356
01:22:54,120 --> 01:22:55,240
Speaker 1: It seems probable.

1357
01:22:56,280 --> 01:22:59,559
Speaker 2: I mean, you got you got one team who's who's

1358
01:22:59,600 --> 01:23:03,080
Speaker 2: having a slap fight between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask.

1359
01:23:03,720 --> 01:23:06,160
Speaker 2: You've got another team that went with the number one

1360
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:07,640
Speaker 2: overall pick in the draft.

1361
01:23:07,360 --> 01:23:10,679
Speaker 1: And so this will be his baby season, if you will.

1362
01:23:11,320 --> 01:23:14,120
Speaker 2: And then the team that we're talking about here, Look,

1363
01:23:15,920 --> 01:23:18,120
Speaker 2: Desmond Ritter has now been there for a little bit.

1364
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:23,440
Speaker 2: I don't think that we've seen anything that brings about optimism.

1365
01:23:23,479 --> 01:23:27,679
Speaker 2: But Ephraim, you tell me because the first thing I do,

1366
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:31,000
Speaker 2: and this goes with any spread, a win total of spread.

1367
01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:35,200
Speaker 2: The first thing that goes through my head when something

1368
01:23:35,240 --> 01:23:38,360
Speaker 2: stands out to you like that is why did they

1369
01:23:38,400 --> 01:23:43,599
Speaker 2: put the number there? Yes, this is a multi billion

1370
01:23:43,720 --> 01:23:48,719
Speaker 2: dollar industry here, and they didn't just huck a ball

1371
01:23:49,680 --> 01:23:52,839
Speaker 2: at a velkrow board to come up with that number.

1372
01:23:54,160 --> 01:23:59,520
Speaker 2: So if they're telling you that the Falcons are literally

1373
01:23:59,600 --> 01:24:03,240
Speaker 2: sitting and they're at fifty to fifty each week, eight

1374
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:04,960
Speaker 2: and a half is the win total out of a

1375
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:10,240
Speaker 2: seventeen game schedule, I'm with you. On the surface, it

1376
01:24:10,360 --> 01:24:13,080
Speaker 2: feels like they should be a sub five hundred team,

1377
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:15,760
Speaker 2: So why is the number there?

1378
01:24:18,040 --> 01:24:20,439
Speaker 1: The complete lack of faith in any other team in

1379
01:24:20,479 --> 01:24:28,240
Speaker 1: the division? Right? They get to all play each other twice? Correct?

1380
01:24:31,240 --> 01:24:34,000
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, but that's kind of my like,

1381
01:24:34,040 --> 01:24:36,280
Speaker 2: that's my feeling on the Saints. The Saints are at

1382
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,360
Speaker 2: nine and a half, and I'm I'm all in on

1383
01:24:38,400 --> 01:24:41,479
Speaker 2: the over because ten wins is not even what it

1384
01:24:41,600 --> 01:24:43,599
Speaker 2: used to be in the NFL. It's kind of like

1385
01:24:43,600 --> 01:24:46,400
Speaker 2: like you're ten wins, ten and seven. You're just like

1386
01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:50,320
Speaker 2: kind of marginally barely above five hundred now in order

1387
01:24:50,320 --> 01:24:53,679
Speaker 2: to win ten games, and they've got six games against

1388
01:24:53,680 --> 01:24:55,720
Speaker 2: these other three teams that we just talked about, Like,

1389
01:24:55,800 --> 01:24:56,960
Speaker 2: gotta think that they're going to.

1390
01:24:57,040 --> 01:25:00,920
Speaker 1: At least get four or five of those. And if

1391
01:25:00,960 --> 01:25:03,720
Speaker 1: that's the case, gosh.

1392
01:25:03,439 --> 01:25:06,439
Speaker 2: With your remaining eleven games, all you got to do

1393
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,200
Speaker 2: is play five hundred and you're there.

1394
01:25:10,680 --> 01:25:14,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would I would see the Saints being over

1395
01:25:14,200 --> 01:25:17,120
Speaker 3: there that being the playoff team in the NFC North.

1396
01:25:18,040 --> 01:25:23,280
Speaker 3: I mean, excuse me, NFC South. It's just a it's

1397
01:25:23,320 --> 01:25:27,240
Speaker 3: it's going to be what the it's going to be

1398
01:25:27,280 --> 01:25:32,640
Speaker 3: what the NFC East East was. When teams who are

1399
01:25:32,680 --> 01:25:42,479
Speaker 3: making the playoffs below five hundred, it's a division of parody.

1400
01:25:43,680 --> 01:25:43,840
Speaker 1: Uh.

1401
01:25:43,960 --> 01:25:46,680
Speaker 3: The interesting one for me is the NFC North in

1402
01:25:46,760 --> 01:25:50,440
Speaker 3: those totals, what they have the Vikings.

1403
01:25:51,760 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 2: The Vikings are sitting at also eight and a half.

1404
01:25:57,040 --> 01:25:59,240
Speaker 1: Now that's interesting, the.

1405
01:25:59,120 --> 01:26:03,240
Speaker 2: Packers seven and a half, the Lions nine and a half,

1406
01:26:04,600 --> 01:26:07,719
Speaker 2: and then the last team in that.

1407
01:26:10,400 --> 01:26:12,479
Speaker 1: The Bears. The last team in.

1408
01:26:12,439 --> 01:26:15,040
Speaker 2: That division is the Bears, and they are also at

1409
01:26:15,040 --> 01:26:17,519
Speaker 2: seven and a half. Packers and Bears both at seven

1410
01:26:17,560 --> 01:26:19,160
Speaker 2: and a half. So now I'm tempted to go over

1411
01:26:19,240 --> 01:26:22,000
Speaker 2: on the Bears.

1412
01:26:22,920 --> 01:26:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm going over on the Vikings.

1413
01:26:26,439 --> 01:26:31,800
Speaker 2: I'll remember those Gosh, remember how quirky that was last year?

1414
01:26:32,040 --> 01:26:33,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1415
01:26:33,400 --> 01:26:36,479
Speaker 2: They were I think they were thirteen and four and

1416
01:26:37,320 --> 01:26:41,839
Speaker 2: had a negative point differential, and now they lose Dalvin

1417
01:26:41,880 --> 01:26:43,960
Speaker 2: Cook and I don't know how much they did to

1418
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:46,480
Speaker 2: improve what I felt was one of the worst defenses

1419
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:47,240
Speaker 2: in the NFL.

1420
01:26:49,200 --> 01:26:51,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, but they're playing in a division now with no

1421
01:26:51,960 --> 01:26:59,000
Speaker 3: Aaron Rodgers upstart Lions team with expectations now and a

1422
01:26:59,040 --> 01:27:03,519
Speaker 3: Bears team that has, in his opinion, one of the

1423
01:27:03,520 --> 01:27:11,240
Speaker 3: top five best running quarterbacks and justin field. So to me,

1424
01:27:12,160 --> 01:27:16,559
Speaker 3: kirk Cousins, I would hang my hat on him more

1425
01:27:16,600 --> 01:27:20,240
Speaker 3: than any other signal caller, including Jarrett Golf. I like

1426
01:27:20,320 --> 01:27:23,040
Speaker 3: the Lions. I like them. They weren't able to stop

1427
01:27:23,080 --> 01:27:29,280
Speaker 3: anybody defensively, having a defensive minded head coach, they weren't

1428
01:27:29,320 --> 01:27:35,280
Speaker 3: able to stop anybody. So you you look at the

1429
01:27:35,320 --> 01:27:40,640
Speaker 3: situation where I know the Vikings have had their issues,

1430
01:27:42,120 --> 01:27:47,599
Speaker 3: but for whatever reason, kirk Cousins gets them across the line,

1431
01:27:48,800 --> 01:27:53,639
Speaker 3: and I mean until the Lions take it. I mean

1432
01:27:53,680 --> 01:27:56,400
Speaker 3: I would I would give the Vikings the over it

1433
01:27:56,520 --> 01:27:57,880
Speaker 3: was they eight and a half. I would give them

1434
01:27:57,880 --> 01:27:58,920
Speaker 3: over that eight.

1435
01:27:58,760 --> 01:27:59,320
Speaker 1: And a half.

1436
01:28:00,280 --> 01:28:03,840
Speaker 2: Before we dive too far into that one, I want

1437
01:28:03,880 --> 01:28:06,880
Speaker 2: to you said something that perked my ears up when

1438
01:28:06,880 --> 01:28:09,120
Speaker 2: we were still talking about the Atlanta Falcons.

1439
01:28:09,720 --> 01:28:11,360
Speaker 1: And if I.

1440
01:28:11,400 --> 01:28:13,479
Speaker 2: Name these teams, you'll know where I'm going with this,

1441
01:28:13,680 --> 01:28:20,680
Speaker 2: right if I go, Okay, Philadelphia, Dallas, San Francisco, Detroit,

1442
01:28:21,840 --> 01:28:33,040
Speaker 2: Kansas City, the Chargers, the Bengals, the Ravens, the Bills, and.

1443
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:35,720
Speaker 1: The Dolphins.

1444
01:28:36,880 --> 01:28:40,040
Speaker 2: These are like what I just named, that is essentially

1445
01:28:41,120 --> 01:28:46,080
Speaker 2: the top ten in terms of Vegas odds to win

1446
01:28:46,160 --> 01:28:47,240
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl this year.

1447
01:28:47,479 --> 01:28:49,439
Speaker 1: That's the beef of the NFL.

1448
01:28:50,720 --> 01:28:53,360
Speaker 2: Do you know how many games the Atlanta Falcons have

1449
01:28:53,640 --> 01:28:55,400
Speaker 2: against those ten teams.

1450
01:28:57,760 --> 01:29:02,679
Speaker 1: That actually might have named eleven? None?

1451
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:09,759
Speaker 2: The Atlanta Falcons play that group one one time. One time.

1452
01:29:10,800 --> 01:29:14,560
Speaker 2: The Falcons will go to Detroit Week three, Sunday, September

1453
01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:15,320
Speaker 2: twenty fourth.

1454
01:29:16,720 --> 01:29:17,240
Speaker 1: That's it.

1455
01:29:17,800 --> 01:29:24,880
Speaker 2: Their schedule goes Carolina, Green Bay, Detroit, Jacksonville, Houston, Washington, Tampa, Tennessee, Minnesota, Arizona,

1456
01:29:25,880 --> 01:29:33,080
Speaker 2: New Orleans, the Jets, Tampa, Carolina, Indy, Bears, Saints. So

1457
01:29:33,200 --> 01:29:35,160
Speaker 2: that's the kind of dive where you go, why are

1458
01:29:35,160 --> 01:29:37,719
Speaker 2: they at eight and a half? Well, that's probably why.

1459
01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:38,839
Speaker 1: It's pretty favorable there.

1460
01:29:39,120 --> 01:29:43,439
Speaker 2: There is like zero juggernaut, like the even the good

1461
01:29:43,479 --> 01:29:46,200
Speaker 2: teams are like the Lions and the Jacks.

1462
01:29:46,240 --> 01:29:47,960
Speaker 1: You still got to be a throw ball though you

1463
01:29:48,080 --> 01:29:51,640
Speaker 1: still got no I know, I'm not like I'm with you.

1464
01:29:51,720 --> 01:29:55,120
Speaker 1: That's my institute too. It's hard to beat bad teams

1465
01:29:55,120 --> 01:29:55,920
Speaker 1: in the NFL.

1466
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,519
Speaker 2: I get it, I get it, but like there's you

1467
01:29:59,560 --> 01:30:01,400
Speaker 2: know what I mean, The Falcons are not going to

1468
01:30:01,560 --> 01:30:04,120
Speaker 2: end up on the other end of anybody's survivor pool

1469
01:30:04,160 --> 01:30:08,719
Speaker 2: this year because nobody's looking at that and going well,

1470
01:30:10,479 --> 01:30:15,360
Speaker 2: Washington will definitely get them in week six, eh, Sam Howell.

1471
01:30:18,320 --> 01:30:21,240
Speaker 2: I mean they literally go the entire month of October

1472
01:30:21,280 --> 01:30:24,960
Speaker 2: without facing a quarterback. And I don't mean that in

1473
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:30,439
Speaker 2: a disrespectful way, but like approven QB. They got Houston,

1474
01:30:30,439 --> 01:30:32,880
Speaker 2: They'll got c. J. Stroud, then they got Sam Howell.

1475
01:30:32,960 --> 01:30:36,000
Speaker 2: Then they've got the winner of Baker versus Kyle, and

1476
01:30:36,040 --> 01:30:39,479
Speaker 2: then they finished with Tennessee and will Tannehill be benched

1477
01:30:39,479 --> 01:30:39,880
Speaker 2: by then?

1478
01:30:43,439 --> 01:30:47,679
Speaker 1: Well, it's right there for the taking. Can they take it? Though?

1479
01:30:49,720 --> 01:30:52,000
Speaker 1: Can they take it? All? Right?

1480
01:30:52,080 --> 01:30:55,320
Speaker 2: So give me this then, Falcons at eight and a half,

1481
01:30:55,560 --> 01:30:56,400
Speaker 2: you're going under.

1482
01:30:56,560 --> 01:31:00,799
Speaker 1: I'm going under. Saints at night, go with you, Saints

1483
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:04,679
Speaker 1: at nine and a half, over and under over, I'll

1484
01:31:04,720 --> 01:31:05,960
Speaker 1: go over. I'm with you.

1485
01:31:07,360 --> 01:31:13,040
Speaker 2: Also in Division Carolina Panthers over or under seven and.

1486
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:24,080
Speaker 1: A half mm under under.

1487
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:29,719
Speaker 2: I think I'm with you, Tampa Bay Bucks over under

1488
01:31:29,800 --> 01:31:32,000
Speaker 2: six and a half under.

1489
01:31:35,760 --> 01:31:36,040
Speaker 1: Under.

1490
01:31:38,040 --> 01:31:44,439
Speaker 2: I think we have consensus. I'm in agreement with are

1491
01:31:44,479 --> 01:31:46,519
Speaker 2: often wrong? Oh I'm sorry?

1492
01:31:46,560 --> 01:31:48,600
Speaker 1: Was that not? How was that not? How it was

1493
01:31:48,600 --> 01:31:50,920
Speaker 1: supposed to finish the sentence? My bad?

1494
01:31:51,680 --> 01:31:54,240

1516
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:14,240
Speaker 2: already dove. We were walking through some wind totals. We

1517
01:33:14,360 --> 01:33:18,040
Speaker 2: dove into the NFC South. You took us over to

1518
01:33:18,080 --> 01:33:21,200
Speaker 2: the NFC North. You're hot on the Vikings over the

1519
01:33:21,200 --> 01:33:21,880
Speaker 2: eight and a half.

1520
01:33:21,920 --> 01:33:28,599
Speaker 1: Is that right? Yes? Yeah, I just same question, same

1521
01:33:28,760 --> 01:33:30,080
Speaker 1: question that we had.

1522
01:33:29,920 --> 01:33:34,280
Speaker 2: Before with regard to the Falcons and the Vikings having

1523
01:33:34,360 --> 01:33:36,800
Speaker 2: the same over under number.

1524
01:33:38,200 --> 01:33:39,240
Speaker 1: The question is.

1525
01:33:39,439 --> 01:33:44,840
Speaker 2: Why the Vikings just went thirteen and four not that

1526
01:33:45,080 --> 01:33:50,360
Speaker 2: much change. Sure, Dalvincook is out, but why would the

1527
01:33:50,479 --> 01:33:55,720
Speaker 2: Vikings be so low? To me, that's one of those

1528
01:33:55,720 --> 01:33:59,960
Speaker 2: where I'm gonna buck against the system because that feel

1529
01:34:00,280 --> 01:34:01,760
Speaker 2: like they're trying to sucker you in.

1530
01:34:02,760 --> 01:34:04,599
Speaker 1: I'll go under on Minnesota this year.

1531
01:34:06,400 --> 01:34:09,559
Speaker 2: I'll go under on Minnesota and it ushers Kirk Cousins

1532
01:34:09,600 --> 01:34:11,280
Speaker 2: onto a new roster next year.

1533
01:34:12,320 --> 01:34:15,680
Speaker 3: All right, because looking at their schedule, you got the Eagles,

1534
01:34:15,720 --> 01:34:18,880
Speaker 3: the Vikings, I mean the Eagles, the Chargers.

1535
01:34:19,479 --> 01:34:21,760
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, they play themselves and they were

1536
01:34:21,760 --> 01:34:22,879
Speaker 2: really well for them.

1537
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:37,000
Speaker 1: Yep, the Bengals, the Lions, so you know, yep. Yeah.

1538
01:34:37,040 --> 01:34:39,280
Speaker 2: So they're matched up with the AFC West, and then

1539
01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:42,880
Speaker 2: their extra game is Cincinnati. You know how everybody used

1540
01:34:42,880 --> 01:34:45,040
Speaker 2: to be matched up with one division in the other

1541
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:47,639
Speaker 2: conference every year, Yes, and that is.

1542
01:34:47,600 --> 01:34:48,320
Speaker 1: Still the case.

1543
01:34:48,360 --> 01:34:51,120
Speaker 2: But because of the seventeenth game, you get another one

1544
01:34:51,120 --> 01:34:52,840
Speaker 2: thrown in there, and that just happens to be a

1545
01:34:52,960 --> 01:34:58,120
Speaker 2: roadie to Cincinnati in December. That's a tough one, right, which, man,

1546
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:00,479
Speaker 2: So that means you've already they got to play the Chief,

1547
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:03,559
Speaker 2: they got to play the Chargers, they got to play

1548
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:04,320
Speaker 2: the Broncos.

1549
01:35:04,439 --> 01:35:06,840
Speaker 1: As you mentioned, both Philadelphia and the.

1550
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:12,400
Speaker 2: Forty nine Ers are are part of the conference schedule.

1551
01:35:13,280 --> 01:35:18,200
Speaker 1: So it is a trip to well Lambeau.

1552
01:35:18,280 --> 01:35:21,040
Speaker 2: Obviously they're always going to do that, but so is

1553
01:35:21,320 --> 01:35:24,800
Speaker 2: So you've got your games with Green Bay, Detroit, Chicago.

1554
01:35:25,680 --> 01:35:27,680
Speaker 1: They got to take on the Saints.

1555
01:35:28,360 --> 01:35:32,920
Speaker 2: They do get the Falcons and the Panthers and Tampa.

1556
01:35:32,600 --> 01:35:34,720
Speaker 1: This Detroit. It's a lot interesting.

1557
01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:39,800
Speaker 2: Can talk to me because they're in that division nine

1558
01:35:39,840 --> 01:35:40,280
Speaker 2: and a half.

1559
01:35:40,439 --> 01:35:42,519
Speaker 3: There's a lot of there's a lot of hope on

1560
01:35:42,560 --> 01:35:44,599
Speaker 3: the horizon for them.

1561
01:35:44,800 --> 01:35:47,640
Speaker 1: There's a lot of hope. And sure.

1562
01:35:50,280 --> 01:35:53,400
Speaker 3: Is there more hope now than when Matthew Stafford was there?

1563
01:35:53,400 --> 01:35:57,200
Speaker 3: It was there and Calvin Johnson, you know, Megatron, Like,

1564
01:35:57,240 --> 01:36:00,920
Speaker 3: what is there more hope now? Because Matthew did take

1565
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,639
Speaker 3: them to the playoffs one time? So I'm trying to try.

1566
01:36:06,680 --> 01:36:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm trying to gauge. Is Jared answer? Yes, Stafford. Do

1567
01:36:13,320 --> 01:36:16,960
Speaker 3: they have anybody on that team offensively better than Calvin Johnson?

1568
01:36:18,120 --> 01:36:18,360
Speaker 1: No?

1569
01:36:18,760 --> 01:36:20,760
Speaker 2: But I'll tell you why the hope is higher now,

1570
01:36:20,800 --> 01:36:23,920
Speaker 2: and it's because of something you mentioned about ten minutes ago.

1571
01:36:24,160 --> 01:36:27,680
Speaker 2: And this is the first season since as long as

1572
01:36:27,720 --> 01:36:30,760
Speaker 2: I can remember ever where the Packers weren't, where the

1573
01:36:30,800 --> 01:36:35,519
Speaker 2: Packers weren't facing you with farvar Rogers, the Lions aren't.

1574
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,320
Speaker 2: It's not just hope for them being good. They are

1575
01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:41,840
Speaker 2: the favorite. They are weird. It is the weird thing

1576
01:36:41,880 --> 01:36:44,320
Speaker 2: to say in the division exactly.

1577
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:44,840
Speaker 1: But it is.

1578
01:36:44,920 --> 01:36:47,599
Speaker 2: Don't you think that's why? Like, no matter what's been

1579
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:51,519
Speaker 2: going on with that roster in Green Bay for a while, Like,

1580
01:36:52,240 --> 01:36:57,120
Speaker 2: we're a quarterback driven NFL fans society, and so to

1581
01:36:57,200 --> 01:37:00,000
Speaker 2: favor the Lions over the Packers for the last fifteen

1582
01:37:00,160 --> 01:37:00,679
Speaker 2: years has.

1583
01:37:00,600 --> 01:37:09,320
Speaker 3: Been ridiculous would be lunacy, right, But here we are. Yeah,

1584
01:37:09,360 --> 01:37:13,320
Speaker 3: it's a you know, it's interesting thing. I'm really looking

1585
01:37:13,400 --> 01:37:17,599
Speaker 3: forward to see if Dan Campbell and that team can

1586
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:22,400
Speaker 3: take that next step and really be considered a viable

1587
01:37:22,479 --> 01:37:25,559
Speaker 3: option because look, you mentioned them in the teams in

1588
01:37:25,640 --> 01:37:31,840
Speaker 3: those ten eleven teams to vie for a championship. Yep,

1589
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:36,680
Speaker 3: that seems to be a lot of pressure from a

1590
01:37:36,760 --> 01:37:39,920
Speaker 3: team who hasn't been able to get it right for

1591
01:37:39,960 --> 01:37:46,920
Speaker 3: a long time pretty much. Ever, So how does that

1592
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:51,360
Speaker 3: shake out now with the expectations of it all? Everything

1593
01:37:51,520 --> 01:37:56,519
Speaker 3: changes when you have When there's expectations, people expect you

1594
01:37:56,600 --> 01:37:59,120
Speaker 3: to win, they're not surprised when you win.

1595
01:38:01,880 --> 01:38:02,920
Speaker 1: I just looked it up.

1596
01:38:03,240 --> 01:38:06,880
Speaker 2: They are the ninth favorite in the NFL to win

1597
01:38:06,920 --> 01:38:07,559
Speaker 2: the Super Bowl.

1598
01:38:07,880 --> 01:38:08,320
Speaker 1: Wow.

1599
01:38:09,400 --> 01:38:14,559
Speaker 2: Their current odds are tied with the Miami Dolphins at

1600
01:38:14,600 --> 01:38:20,200
Speaker 2: plus two thousand, tied for ninth, just ahead of the Jags, Chargers, Seahawks, Saints,

1601
01:38:20,280 --> 01:38:25,240
Speaker 2: and Browns and just narrowly behind the Ravens and the Jets.

1602
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:28,760
Speaker 2: And then I think everybody sort of knows who the

1603
01:38:29,640 --> 01:38:34,479
Speaker 2: top six are, the top three in each conference Chiefs, Eagles, Bills, Bengals,

1604
01:38:34,520 --> 01:38:38,360
Speaker 2: forty nine, Ers, Cowboys, those are the top six, and

1605
01:38:38,400 --> 01:38:41,479
Speaker 2: the Cowboys are actually significantly the.

1606
01:38:41,880 --> 01:38:43,120
Speaker 1: Sixth of those six.

1607
01:38:46,200 --> 01:38:46,360
Speaker 3: Man.

1608
01:38:46,840 --> 01:38:49,240
Speaker 1: So yeah, that's what they're being asked to do.

1609
01:38:49,280 --> 01:38:52,120
Speaker 2: And I'm with you. I'm with you. They look great

1610
01:38:52,160 --> 01:38:54,240
Speaker 2: at the end of last year. I know they were

1611
01:38:54,280 --> 01:38:57,320
Speaker 2: exciting for people's fantasy teams. They were on hard knocks,

1612
01:38:57,360 --> 01:38:59,920
Speaker 2: like the world got to know them. And I do

1613
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:03,519
Speaker 2: think there's a tax there. In other words, we favor

1614
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:07,040
Speaker 2: things that we know, and we got to know the

1615
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:10,519
Speaker 2: Lions and they went on a run. It does not

1616
01:39:11,080 --> 01:39:12,360
Speaker 2: necessarily translate.

1617
01:39:12,439 --> 01:39:13,120
Speaker 1: I will tell.

1618
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:17,120
Speaker 2: You the biggest question for me for the Lions this

1619
01:39:17,200 --> 01:39:21,760
Speaker 2: year is the thing that most casual fans can't answer. Like,

1620
01:39:21,840 --> 01:39:23,640
Speaker 2: we can sit here this time of year and I

1621
01:39:23,680 --> 01:39:29,280
Speaker 2: can go well, golf was reliable. A'man ross Saint Brown

1622
01:39:29,439 --> 01:39:33,880
Speaker 2: leads a talented group of receivers were interested in Jamiir

1623
01:39:33,920 --> 01:39:37,439
Speaker 2: Gibbs as they change the backfield. The backfield goes from

1624
01:39:37,479 --> 01:39:40,920
Speaker 2: DeAndre Swift and Jamal Williams now to Jamiir Gibbs and

1625
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:45,800
Speaker 2: David Montgomery. But listen to everything I'm saying, it's all

1626
01:39:45,840 --> 01:39:50,200
Speaker 2: on the offensive side of the ball. Nobody knows a

1627
01:39:50,320 --> 01:39:53,760
Speaker 2: damn thing about defense. There's a few things we know

1628
01:39:54,000 --> 01:39:56,280
Speaker 2: or like. The Niners are good, the Jets are good.

1629
01:39:56,920 --> 01:39:59,519
Speaker 2: I think the Bills are going to be good. And

1630
01:39:59,600 --> 01:40:02,360
Speaker 2: most of the AFC North like that. That's you, that's

1631
01:40:02,600 --> 01:40:07,200
Speaker 2: but we don't know. Aiden Hutchinson good player, really good, young,

1632
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:10,920
Speaker 2: exciting player. But that defense was awful last year.

1633
01:40:11,240 --> 01:40:13,920
Speaker 1: It was really bad. Man and and and.

1634
01:40:14,240 --> 01:40:17,920
Speaker 2: Unless they're less, if they're markedly better, then I'm all

1635
01:40:17,960 --> 01:40:18,920
Speaker 2: in on this team.

1636
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:22,599
Speaker 1: But if they're not, then they're just fun. That's all

1637
01:40:22,640 --> 01:40:25,960
Speaker 1: they are. That's not necessarily good. They're fun. You know,

1638
01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:27,840
Speaker 1: when I think we get caught in the.

1639
01:40:30,400 --> 01:40:35,439
Speaker 3: In the offensive prowess of these teams because we're always saying, well,

1640
01:40:35,439 --> 01:40:38,120
Speaker 3: they don't have a quarterback, Well they how can they

1641
01:40:38,120 --> 01:40:40,760
Speaker 3: get those wins without a quarterback? And then when you

1642
01:40:40,760 --> 01:40:43,280
Speaker 3: look at a team with a quarterback and a good offense,

1643
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:48,160
Speaker 3: you realize, oh wait, they can't stop anybody. So I

1644
01:40:48,200 --> 01:40:52,280
Speaker 3: think we we don't see the big picture when we're

1645
01:40:52,320 --> 01:40:58,679
Speaker 3: talking about these teams until you really really dive into

1646
01:40:58,720 --> 01:41:01,559
Speaker 3: them and you're like, oh, that's right. There was a

1647
01:41:01,680 --> 01:41:06,360
Speaker 3: reason why they couldn't get over the hump because they

1648
01:41:06,360 --> 01:41:11,240
Speaker 3: would score forty points and give up forty four. Have

1649
01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,920
Speaker 3: they fixed that? We've talked about Jared Goff and the

1650
01:41:13,920 --> 01:41:18,479
Speaker 3: steps he took, and I'm in Saint Raw and the

1651
01:41:18,600 --> 01:41:22,440
Speaker 3: new running backs, and we talked about all those things.

1652
01:41:22,520 --> 01:41:24,880
Speaker 3: And now we're now, after going through all of that,

1653
01:41:24,920 --> 01:41:30,439
Speaker 3: we're talking about a Nutchinson and the defense and oh,

1654
01:41:30,479 --> 01:41:32,200
Speaker 3: that's right, they were god awful.

1655
01:41:32,280 --> 01:41:40,320
Speaker 1: Did they fix it? Did they reset that thing? Did

1656
01:41:40,320 --> 01:41:45,000
Speaker 1: they add when they were losing games?

1657
01:41:45,720 --> 01:41:48,560
Speaker 2: When they were losing games largely at the beginning of

1658
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:52,280
Speaker 2: the year, Like once we got to November, they lost

1659
01:41:52,280 --> 01:41:55,400
Speaker 2: to Buffalo on Thanksgiving twenty eight, twenty five, they lost

1660
01:41:55,439 --> 01:41:56,960
Speaker 2: on Christmas Eve to Carolina.

1661
01:41:57,040 --> 01:41:59,680
Speaker 1: That's it. Those are only losses once we got to November.

1662
01:42:00,600 --> 01:42:04,439
Speaker 2: But early in the year Philadelphia thirty Just tell me

1663
01:42:04,479 --> 01:42:08,160
Speaker 2: if you can sense a trend here. Philadelphia thirty eight

1664
01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:13,479
Speaker 2: thirty five, Minnesota twenty eight twenty four, Seattle forty eight

1665
01:42:13,560 --> 01:42:19,880
Speaker 2: to forty five Miami thirty one to twenty seven. This

1666
01:42:19,960 --> 01:42:23,599
Speaker 2: team was uncorking twenty five to thirty five points on

1667
01:42:23,800 --> 01:42:26,280
Speaker 2: most weekends and lost a lot.

1668
01:42:26,200 --> 01:42:26,840
Speaker 1: Of those games.

1669
01:42:29,040 --> 01:42:32,160
Speaker 3: And I think that's why we get so infatuated with them.

1670
01:42:32,880 --> 01:42:34,920
Speaker 1: Oh they can put up points, but if.

1671
01:42:34,800 --> 01:42:39,280
Speaker 3: They haven't fixed that leaky roof, it doesn't matter how

1672
01:42:39,400 --> 01:42:45,519
Speaker 3: nice your couch is or your TV is, doesn't matter. Eventually,

1673
01:42:45,520 --> 01:42:50,040
Speaker 3: that roof's gonna come crashing down to ruin everything. And

1674
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:53,040
Speaker 3: that's where they are. I don't know. We have to see,

1675
01:42:55,040 --> 01:42:55,599
Speaker 3: all right, So.

1676
01:42:55,920 --> 01:42:58,639
Speaker 2: You're taking the over on the Vikings eight and a half,

1677
01:42:58,720 --> 01:43:03,679
Speaker 2: I'll go under, Lions nine and a half over under over.

1678
01:43:05,320 --> 01:43:10,879
Speaker 1: Oh after all that, you're gonna go over with the Niners. No, no, No, Lions,

1679
01:43:11,240 --> 01:43:16,080
Speaker 1: Lions nine and a half, Lions nine and a half. No,

1680
01:43:16,479 --> 01:43:19,760
Speaker 1: I'm going under. I am two. I'm going under.

1681
01:43:19,800 --> 01:43:22,360
Speaker 2: But it's largely it's largely because of what I'm gonna

1682
01:43:22,400 --> 01:43:25,360
Speaker 2: do with the other two teams. Bears seven and a

1683
01:43:25,400 --> 01:43:32,760
Speaker 2: half over under under, I'll go over, and Packers over

1684
01:43:32,920 --> 01:43:33,920
Speaker 2: under seven.

1685
01:43:33,600 --> 01:43:37,960
Speaker 1: And a half under, I'm gonna go over.

1686
01:43:39,720 --> 01:43:44,519
Speaker 2: I think this is an absolute dogfight of four teams

1687
01:43:44,520 --> 01:43:47,000
Speaker 2: that are all going to be between seven to ten wins,

1688
01:43:47,400 --> 01:43:49,840
Speaker 2: all four of them.

1689
01:43:50,040 --> 01:43:51,880
Speaker 1: I think that division is going to be wild.

1690
01:43:52,800 --> 01:43:54,920
Speaker 2: Okay, we have not done the West yet, we have

1691
01:43:54,960 --> 01:43:57,559
Speaker 2: not done the East yet. I will take the over

1692
01:43:58,080 --> 01:44:02,600
Speaker 2: on what we think of Nick cop after this performance

1693
01:44:02,880 --> 01:44:05,920
Speaker 2: that he is about to encork. So let's find out

1694
01:44:05,920 --> 01:44:07,040
Speaker 2: what's trending here.

1695
01:44:07,080 --> 01:44:08,479
Speaker 1: He is Nick Cope.

1696
01:44:08,680 --> 01:44:11,679
Speaker 5: Ladies and gentlemen, all right, thank you for that very

1697
01:44:11,720 --> 01:44:13,080
Speaker 5: wonderful introduction.

1698
01:44:13,240 --> 01:44:14,360
Speaker 1: Mark, Let's stick in.

1699
01:44:14,400 --> 01:44:17,080
Speaker 5: The NFL just got word in the Saints and Texans

1700
01:44:17,160 --> 01:44:21,559
Speaker 5: have mutually agreed to cancel their joint practices this week.

1701
01:44:21,920 --> 01:44:24,960
Speaker 5: That's the second set of joint practices to be canceled.

1755
01:47:10,120 --> 01:47:14,880
Speaker 2: let's dive in to the NFC East, just as a refresher.

1756
01:47:15,080 --> 01:47:19,080
Speaker 2: The Cowboys over under number is nine and a half.

1757
01:47:20,840 --> 01:47:24,800
Speaker 2: Looking at the rest of the division, the New York

1758
01:47:24,880 --> 01:47:30,360
Speaker 2: Giants seven and a half, the Commanders six and a half,

1759
01:47:30,600 --> 01:47:35,480
Speaker 2: the Eagles the top team in the NFC at eleven

1760
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:41,120
Speaker 2: and a half. So start with the Cowboys nine and

1761
01:47:41,200 --> 01:47:42,840
Speaker 2: a half over under.

1762
01:47:43,000 --> 01:47:47,040
Speaker 3: What do you think under why? I don't think they'll

1763
01:47:47,080 --> 01:47:48,519
Speaker 3: be able to be I don't think they'll beat the

1764
01:47:48,560 --> 01:47:52,360
Speaker 3: Giants twice. I don't think they'll beat the Eagles either time.

1765
01:47:55,520 --> 01:47:58,640
Speaker 3: I really don't. I think we get so used to

1766
01:47:58,680 --> 01:48:02,040
Speaker 3: the hype of the Cowboys. I think there's some uncertainty

1767
01:48:02,080 --> 01:48:06,599
Speaker 3: there with with Dak Prescott. Whenever there's all of the

1768
01:48:06,640 --> 01:48:15,040
Speaker 3: noise around the Cowboys, somehow they find a way. Right

1769
01:48:15,120 --> 01:48:18,240
Speaker 3: you look at their schedule. They got the bills, they

1770
01:48:18,280 --> 01:48:20,240
Speaker 3: got the at the bill, right, they got at the bills,

1771
01:48:20,240 --> 01:48:24,360
Speaker 3: They got the Niners at the Niners at the Dolphins

1772
01:48:25,320 --> 01:48:29,920
Speaker 3: at the Dolphins, right, so you know they had the

1773
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:33,840
Speaker 3: lines coming into town at the Chargers.

1774
01:48:33,920 --> 01:48:36,040
Speaker 1: But let's be honest, that'll be all Cowboy fans. But

1775
01:48:36,200 --> 01:48:39,400
Speaker 1: still it doesn't. But you look at the schedule. I'm

1776
01:48:39,920 --> 01:48:42,679
Speaker 1: the Jets. Yeah, I'm trying to find nine of these,

1777
01:48:43,680 --> 01:48:46,800
Speaker 1: nine and a half of these to win. Yeah, they

1778
01:48:46,880 --> 01:48:47,840
Speaker 1: play the Seahawks.

1779
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:50,400
Speaker 2: I mean, if you just if you, if you wanted

1780
01:48:50,439 --> 01:48:52,479
Speaker 2: to give what are considered and I know that this

1781
01:48:52,680 --> 01:48:55,439
Speaker 2: isn't fair because who knows what these teams actually look like,

1782
01:48:55,520 --> 01:48:57,760
Speaker 2: but what what are considered?

1783
01:48:57,800 --> 01:49:00,559
Speaker 1: The Bunnies they go to Arizona week three.

1784
01:49:02,680 --> 01:49:04,720
Speaker 2: I don't know what to think about the Rams, but

1785
01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:08,799
Speaker 2: they do host the Rams a couple of days before Halloween,

1786
01:49:09,479 --> 01:49:13,320
Speaker 2: they go to Carolina and then outside of that and

1787
01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:16,720
Speaker 2: they've got their two games against Washington, which I think

1788
01:49:16,760 --> 01:49:18,519
Speaker 2: they'll just list at.

1789
01:49:18,439 --> 01:49:19,120
Speaker 1: Which I do too.

1790
01:49:19,600 --> 01:49:22,080
Speaker 2: But that's the sum total of what you would refer

1791
01:49:22,240 --> 01:49:26,719
Speaker 2: to as the air quotes easy games on the schedule.

1792
01:49:26,960 --> 01:49:29,680
Speaker 1: That's it. There's five of them, and I don't even

1793
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:33,040
Speaker 1: know if they're actually all that easy. So that's why

1794
01:49:33,120 --> 01:49:34,720
Speaker 1: I mean notine and a half seems a lot for

1795
01:49:34,840 --> 01:49:39,360
Speaker 1: the Cowboys. It does but it's Cowboys. You play Cowboy tax,

1796
01:49:40,280 --> 01:49:40,640
Speaker 1: you know that.

1797
01:49:40,960 --> 01:49:45,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, they'll be on. Everybody be watching them, and it'll

1798
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:49,120
Speaker 3: be another one of those. I mean, the Eagles are

1799
01:49:49,160 --> 01:49:52,639
Speaker 3: clearly the standard. They lost a lot of defensive players,

1800
01:49:52,680 --> 01:49:55,000
Speaker 3: but they went into the draft and every replenished that

1801
01:49:55,120 --> 01:49:59,120
Speaker 3: cupboard with young talent that that's going to be there,

1802
01:50:00,200 --> 01:50:04,200
Speaker 3: uh for for some time now. I just uh, I

1803
01:50:04,280 --> 01:50:08,280
Speaker 3: think the Giants will be okay. I mean, feelings are

1804
01:50:08,360 --> 01:50:12,320
Speaker 3: getting back to what you know, Brian Dave bol still there.

1805
01:50:12,479 --> 01:50:15,000
Speaker 3: I still like that. Sekwon Barkley is there.

1806
01:50:16,280 --> 01:50:18,760
Speaker 1: You like the over for the Giants over seven and

1807
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:19,000
Speaker 1: a half.

1808
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,240
Speaker 3: I like the over for the that I would take

1809
01:50:21,360 --> 01:50:24,880
Speaker 3: the the Cowboys, and I would give those games to

1810
01:50:25,040 --> 01:50:25,679
Speaker 3: the Giants.

1811
01:50:27,400 --> 01:50:30,760
Speaker 2: Okay, I think I'm with you on those two so

1812
01:50:30,960 --> 01:50:35,360
Speaker 2: far under on Dallas over on the Giants. So if

1813
01:50:35,439 --> 01:50:37,320
Speaker 2: the Eagles are the standard, I mean, this is a

1814
01:50:37,600 --> 01:50:41,760
Speaker 2: hell of a bite to take eleven and a half.

1815
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:44,680
Speaker 2: You got the you got the you know what's to

1816
01:50:44,800 --> 01:50:47,160
Speaker 2: take an over taken.

1817
01:50:46,960 --> 01:50:47,439
Speaker 1: Over on that.

1818
01:50:48,479 --> 01:50:52,720
Speaker 3: Ah, that's a big number I'm taking. I'm stretching out down,

1819
01:50:52,880 --> 01:50:57,040
Speaker 3: I'm I'm going out on the limb. I think they

1820
01:50:57,160 --> 01:51:01,120
Speaker 3: got a lot to prove. I think they're young. I

1821
01:51:01,200 --> 01:51:04,560
Speaker 3: think they're hungry. I think they understand that they're the

1822
01:51:04,680 --> 01:51:08,680
Speaker 3: toast of the NFC, and I think they're approaching it

1823
01:51:08,920 --> 01:51:09,120
Speaker 3: like that.

1824
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:14,000
Speaker 1: I do. I think they're approaching it to be as

1825
01:51:14,120 --> 01:51:15,240
Speaker 1: the toast of the NFC.

1826
01:51:16,439 --> 01:51:19,680
Speaker 2: I mean, if we're if the Cowboy schedule looks like

1827
01:51:20,600 --> 01:51:22,520
Speaker 2: what we just said, then the Eagles.

1828
01:51:22,280 --> 01:51:23,919
Speaker 1: They're playing the first place schedule.

1829
01:51:24,080 --> 01:51:29,720
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Okay, They've got their games against Washington, as

1830
01:51:29,760 --> 01:51:32,000
Speaker 2: we know, they're at the Rams, they're at the Box.

1831
01:51:33,479 --> 01:51:37,080
Speaker 2: But outside of that, they and they've got Arizona at home.

1832
01:51:37,560 --> 01:51:38,840
Speaker 1: Mm hm. The Bills.

1833
01:51:39,120 --> 01:51:41,400
Speaker 2: I mean, this is a team, this is a team.

1834
01:51:42,680 --> 01:51:44,519
Speaker 2: They got the right but the Bills. I mean, they

1835
01:51:44,560 --> 01:51:46,280
Speaker 2: get the Bills at home. They got the fewenty nine

1836
01:51:46,320 --> 01:51:49,799
Speaker 2: ers at home. They they gotta gotta go to Seattle,

1837
01:51:49,880 --> 01:51:52,240
Speaker 2: got to go to Kansas City, got to go to

1838
01:51:52,320 --> 01:51:56,400
Speaker 2: New England, got to go to the Jets. They've got

1839
01:51:56,479 --> 01:52:01,639
Speaker 2: Miami coming in Minnesota, coming in Belichick, man, no days, all.

1840
01:52:01,680 --> 01:52:04,400
Speaker 1: I get it. But to me, that's a favorable schedule.

1841
01:52:05,600 --> 01:52:10,280
Speaker 2: Okay, that's a favorable when they when they get to November,

1842
01:52:10,680 --> 01:52:12,560
Speaker 2: forget home and road. I want to read to you

1843
01:52:12,640 --> 01:52:19,120
Speaker 2: what happens when November starts. It goes Dallas by Kansas City, Buffalo,

1844
01:52:19,560 --> 01:52:25,799
Speaker 2: San Francisco, Dallas, Seattle, New York Giants, Arizona, New York Giants.

1845
01:52:27,400 --> 01:52:29,479
Speaker 2: That's the second half of the year for the Eagles.

1846
01:52:29,760 --> 01:52:33,879
Speaker 2: Who's the number one team in the NFC? Yeah, the Eagles,

1847
01:52:34,120 --> 01:52:38,360
Speaker 2: Well so, I mean, but they're projective. Then it's the Niners.

1848
01:52:38,439 --> 01:52:41,720
Speaker 3: Okay, but right now, well you know we can say

1849
01:52:41,760 --> 01:52:48,839
Speaker 3: that if if for no other reason, the Niners division

1850
01:52:48,960 --> 01:52:51,479
Speaker 3: is easier. True, for no other reason.

1851
01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:53,680
Speaker 2: That's why if you ask me who I think is

1852
01:52:53,720 --> 01:52:55,400
Speaker 2: can get the one seed, I'll say the Niners.

1853
01:52:55,400 --> 01:53:02,800

Speaker 3: out there on the limb.

1858
01:53:10,240 --> 01:53:13,000

1859
01:53:13,160 --> 01:53:16,280
Speaker 1: go under. See, I'm gonna take the over on them

1860
