Speaker 1: Time to get to the end of the NFL regular
Speaker 1: season as promised. It concluded last night with the Detroit
Speaker 1: Lions beating down the Minnesota Vikings. Okay, so who better
Speaker 1: to have as my next guest in the aftermath of
Speaker 1: that than the man I have on with me right now,
Speaker 1: all Worldwide receiver Hall of Famer. All he did was
Speaker 1: catch touchdowns. The one and only Chris Carter is here
Speaker 1: with me right now.
Speaker 2: What's up, bro? You okay?
Speaker 1: You know'sg nor football first? Let's ignore football first. I
Speaker 1: want to know if my brother is all right. Usually
Speaker 1: he got the purple pom poms, you know, he got
Speaker 1: the purple in the background, got purple mugs, got purple yep,
Speaker 1: got purple outfits, all of this other stuff.
Speaker 2: Oh, I want to know, is Chris Carter? Okay?
Speaker 1: After that ass kicking the Minnesota Vikings took on Sunday
Speaker 1: night to a Detroit Lions team that had thirteen dudes
Speaker 1: on defense on an injured reserve house, Chris called.
Speaker 3: It, I'm doing good, but we got booked last night.
Speaker 3: I mean that was disappointing, and the most disappointed part
Speaker 3: about it was the first half, because we had the
Speaker 3: game to take control spo. It is about momentum and
Speaker 3: when you force their quarterback Golf into a couple turnovers,
Speaker 3: when you have a short field, when you're in the
Speaker 3: red zone four times, you're only getting six to nine
Speaker 3: points that you're not gonna be able to beat. De
Speaker 3: Trader's played the most consistent football throughout the season, so
Speaker 3: in this nine game winning streak, this was not the
Speaker 3: game that they needed to see on Sunday night to
Speaker 3: build to finish the season. But you can't take away
Speaker 3: what the team has done this year. Detroit had a
Speaker 3: great game plan, Aaron Glenn choosing to play a lot
Speaker 3: of man the man covers zero and attack the Vikings
Speaker 3: wide receivers. That to me was one of the biggest
Speaker 3: storylines of not the biggest storyline of the game.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've just said you know what to me. Listen, listen.
Speaker 1: They blitched Sam Donald, you know, more than sixty seven
Speaker 1: percent of the time. It was his the second most
Speaker 1: this season that any team has done in the National
Speaker 1: Football League. They had, you know, they had him, I
Speaker 1: think it was about sixty se percent. Either that or
Speaker 1: they had him in single cover that had a man
Speaker 1: coverage that amount of time, which basically means that's something
Speaker 1: you don't normally see if you're justin Jefferson and you Addison.
Speaker 1: But nevertheless, they clearly felt that if you put pressure
Speaker 1: on Sam Donald, we gonna see the Sam Donald we've
Speaker 1: been seeing it for the first the last six years
Speaker 1: or so, not the one we've been seeing for this
Speaker 1: entire season. So now that you saw what you saw,
Speaker 1: Chris Carter, how are you feeling about Sam Donald going
Speaker 1: into the playoffs?
Speaker 3: I still feel good about Sam Donald. You know the
Speaker 3: reason why, Because I'm a fair JOURNALI I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: keep moving the gold posts. I'm not gonna keep moving
Speaker 3: the in line, markt because what Sam Donald has done,
Speaker 3: taking over for a first round draft pick and JJ
Speaker 3: McCarthy and stepping in this offense, resurrecting his whole career.
Speaker 3: They didn't lose that game last night because of Sam Donald. Now,
Speaker 3: and if this was the old Sam Man, they would
Speaker 3: have scored fifty points. He would have thrown two or
Speaker 3: three picks. Now, were they out of saint? Did they
Speaker 3: rush up his mechanics? Yes, but that's other people. It's
Speaker 3: a team sport. He didn't play the best game that
Speaker 3: he's played in the last ten games. But the Vikings
Speaker 3: didn't lose because of Sam Darnold. They've had a great season.
Speaker 3: And I guarantee you if Lamar had lost and their
Speaker 3: team had fourteen and two and they lost to Detroit
Speaker 3: and Detroit, we wouldn't be talking about Lamar. Of course,
Speaker 3: he's got a better track record Josh Allen, But all
Speaker 3: these fours, right, Sam Darnald, Sam Donald has matched these
Speaker 3: guys for the season. Now, if we want to keep
Speaker 3: going back to viewing in his past, then we can
Speaker 3: keep doing that. But Sam Donald has paged the commentary
Speaker 3: on his whole career and last night was not an
Speaker 3: indictment on his ability. He is still going to be
Speaker 3: someone starting quarterback next season if it's not the Vikings,
Speaker 3: which I do believe the Vikings are going to franchise him.
Speaker 3: I talked to, you know, a couple of people, and
Speaker 3: I do believe.
Speaker 1: That it's a one year. It's a one year, ten
Speaker 1: million dollar deal. He's playing ounder. Now, you're damn right
Speaker 1: to franchise him. You don't want to just place all
Speaker 1: your faith in rookie. JJ McCarthy ain't playing an NFL
Speaker 1: game because he got injured before the season started. But
Speaker 1: let me ask you this last question on the vikings.
Speaker 2: So how do you feel?
Speaker 1: How do you feel CC when you had the number
Speaker 1: one pick? The number one's a slot rather in your grasp,
Speaker 1: you would have been a number one seed had you won,
Speaker 1: and the road to the super Bowl would have had
Speaker 1: to go through Minnesota. Now, because you lost, the road
Speaker 1: to the super Bowl is gonna have to go to Detroit.
Speaker 1: You got to start out at a wild card and
Speaker 1: despite having a better record, you got to start out
Speaker 1: on the road in Los Angeles against the Rams next
Speaker 1: Monday night.
Speaker 2: How are you feeling about that? Chris Carter?
Speaker 3: It's the worst possible scenario. We had a homes fielding fantasy.
Speaker 3: If you look at if the players the players do
Speaker 3: a survey, Minnesota is one of the top three or
Speaker 3: four places the hardest places to play, Kansas City, Seattle, Denver, Philadelphia.
Speaker 3: Minnesota's always up there. So you got two games to
Speaker 3: go to the super Bowl. We haven't had number one
Speaker 3: seed since nineteen ninety eight, the fifteen to one team
Speaker 3: with Moss, myself, Jay Greed, Randall Cunningham. So this was man,
Speaker 3: this was this was precious, precious, precious cargo. And we
Speaker 3: fumbled it man, like we didn't handle it the right way.
Speaker 3: Now we're going on to it.
Speaker 1: Is that your way of saying that you no longer
Speaker 1: think that the Minnesota viks is going to Super Bowl,
Speaker 1: Chris Catter, That's what I'm asking, That's what I'm asking.
Speaker 3: They know they still have a chance, they still have
Speaker 3: a chance. But trust me, the other teams don't want
Speaker 3: to see Minnesota coming to play, like Minnesota is not
Speaker 3: a team everybody don't invite. Oh yeah, oh let's just
Speaker 3: play Minnesota. Man, that did get us an easy win.
Speaker 2: But Chris, I'll tell you this much.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you this much, Chris Carter, I don't think
Speaker 1: the Detroit Lione's got a problem seeing them.
Speaker 2: I don't think they got a problem seeing them at all.
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think Detroit they got a problem seeing anybody.
Speaker 3: What happened to them last year? Last year they started
Speaker 3: off the season beating Kansas City. They finished the season
Speaker 3: losing in San Francisco, a game that they outplayed the
Speaker 3: San Francisco forty nine ers. So they have been on
Speaker 3: the mission all year. Respect to Detroit, respect of what
Speaker 3: they've done, respect to the defensive coordinator, the adjustment, respect
Speaker 3: of Ben Johnson. The offensive scheme that he that I
Speaker 3: believe is the most difficult to guard week in and
Speaker 3: week out as offensive coordinator for Detroit. No man respect
Speaker 3: Detroit man respect for what they're doing.
Speaker 1: By the way, before I move on, real real quick,
Speaker 1: what the hell did Aaron Glenn do defensively to neutralize
Speaker 1: Minnesota's offense to hold him to nine points and not
Speaker 1: a single touchdown?
Speaker 3: Well, for one, he changed up what they were doing
Speaker 3: in the last three games week fourteen to seventeen, they
Speaker 3: were giving up thirty two points a game. You talked
Speaker 3: about playing man the man in Blitzing's but he played
Speaker 3: zero coverage where he took the safety out of the middle.
Speaker 3: I think twelve to thirteen times. That's not something the
Speaker 3: Bite can see a lot of because they have such
Speaker 3: skill at the position wide receiver running back in at
Speaker 3: tight end, so that threw them all. They they got
Speaker 3: in Sam Darnold state, even when they couldn't sack him,
Speaker 3: they got in his face to make his throws a
Speaker 3: little bit higher. And when they needed to guard Justin
Speaker 3: Jefferson one on one, I gotta tell you they did
Speaker 3: a hell up a job against jj. That's not something
Speaker 3: that we normally.
Speaker 1: See let me transition real quick, your thoughts about the
Speaker 1: Philadelphia Eagles not letting Sakuon Barkley go for the all
Speaker 1: time single season rushing record he clips in Eric Dickerson
Speaker 1: and instead letting him sit out to make sure he's
Speaker 1: preserved and ready to go come playoffs.
Speaker 3: The reason because even if he breaks the record, if
Speaker 3: they don't reach their goal as a team as an organization,
Speaker 3: because that's what they brought him there. They brought him
Speaker 3: there to win a super Bowl. And by the way,
Speaker 3: if you can break you know, Eric Dickerson's Ed's rushing record,
Speaker 3: then that'd be just excellent. But you can't jeopardize the
Speaker 3: whole team goals for one individual. And I'm a wide receiver.
Speaker 3: I'm as selfish as they come. But when it comes
Speaker 3: down to one game, well you should have got it
Speaker 3: in sixteen games. If that's the case, or if you
Speaker 3: would have had now been the better position where you
Speaker 3: had the number one seed, then we might play you
Speaker 3: in the first half because you gotta buy week. But
Speaker 3: when you know you're planning the following week and it's
Speaker 3: going to be a headbanger three weeks in a row
Speaker 3: to bill to get to the Super Bowl again. No,
Speaker 3: you have to sit here because the team's goals and
Speaker 3: the team's aspiration in the team's sport is the number
Speaker 3: one priority. It's keeping the main thing the main thing.
Speaker 1: I feel you on that, and I don't disagree, but
Speaker 1: I still can say I agree. But I hate it
Speaker 1: because the running back position is so devalued.
Speaker 2: You got guys that miss.
Speaker 1: Out on money and long term contract just because of
Speaker 1: their birth certificate. You don't even pay attention to their production.
Speaker 1: You say, hey, they thirty, their time is up. We
Speaker 1: don't need them. So I hate that, but I understand it.
Speaker 3: And a little sidebar, it would have been nice to
Speaker 3: see him do it against the Giants.
Speaker 1: That's right, because we know how they treated them. Oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, I'm glad I remember that. I almost
Speaker 1: forgot to ask you, what the hell.
Speaker 2: Is up with the Giants.
Speaker 1: I have no problem with Table because Dave proved to
Speaker 1: me that he could coach. Give him something to work
Speaker 1: with and he can coach. But that damn GM who
Speaker 1: was so smug on hard knocks and letting Sakuon Barkley
Speaker 1: go and investing in Daniel Jones, the Giants electing to
Speaker 1: keep both of them in place for next season. I
Speaker 1: never thought that I'd look at the Giants organization and
Speaker 1: see them as being as bad.
Speaker 2: I never thought to them. I never thought so.
Speaker 3: No, it's not something you think about. They are one
Speaker 3: of the patriarch franchises that we have. But you lose
Speaker 3: your way tomorrow, family, They've lost their way, their selection
Speaker 3: of players, their management of players, the players they draft,
Speaker 3: second third contracts. They had mismanaged that. And to me,
Speaker 3: the question is what are they gonna do at quarterback?
Speaker 3: Is the Giants and Lamar family that they're not known
Speaker 3: to have an African American at quarterback and the best
Speaker 3: two quarterbacks are African Americans. So what they gonna do now,
Speaker 3: that's what I'm interested. I don't care who the coach is.
Speaker 3: I want to see what they do at quarterback because
Speaker 3: their history and history tells you. How do I know
Speaker 3: what they're gonna do in the future, what they've done
Speaker 3: in the past. I want to see what they're gonna
Speaker 3: do at quarterback. We should start conversating about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they got the third pick.
Speaker 1: New England messed up because you know what, you fired
Speaker 1: Rod Mayo after one year and what have you. But
Speaker 1: what the hell was he doing whinning that game yesterday?
Speaker 1: They went from having the number one overall pick to
Speaker 1: drop into the number four overall pick.
Speaker 2: You got some.
Speaker 1: People in New England feeling like he should be five
Speaker 1: for that alone. Your thoughts about that, real quick.
Speaker 3: Man, you shouldn't be at the end. It's overwhere. The
Speaker 3: only way you can help the team is by continuing
Speaker 3: what you already did. You can't be trying to be
Speaker 3: a hero and win the last game. You got a
Speaker 3: chance to change the franchise and run stroke and he
Speaker 3: had to know there was bad vibes in the building.
Speaker 3: I believe that he knew he was going to be
Speaker 3: out of there, and he went on and inspired the
Speaker 3: guys and they end up winning in spight to stick
Speaker 3: at the craft. That's what I believe happened.
Speaker 1: I never thought about it that way because Kraft supposedly
Speaker 1: loved the guy, gave him a shot, you know. But
Speaker 1: they clearly want Mike Rabel That's who they want it
Speaker 1: all along, and an opportunity to get him him being
Speaker 1: out there, I think that's what they see right now.
Speaker 2: Let me move on.
Speaker 1: To the Pittsburgh Steelers, because the Baltimore Ravens are the
Speaker 1: AFC North champions.
Speaker 2: The Pittsburgh Steelers have lost four straight.
Speaker 1: Mike Tomlin looks on the verge of having another playoff
Speaker 1: loss because they play Saturday night and nobody's gonna pick
Speaker 1: them to beat the Ravens.
Speaker 2: That would be yet another year.
Speaker 1: It would be since twenty sixteen that Mike Tomlin and
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers have not won a playoff game.
Speaker 2: Your thoughts about what you've seen from the Steelers.
Speaker 3: There is one way to correct the Steelers problems. And
Speaker 3: if they need a better wide receiver room, they need
Speaker 3: better guys, They need better people. They need a coach
Speaker 3: that will take control of that wide receiver room because
Speaker 3: they have had problems with that room. Even when a
Speaker 3: d was there, they had problems with that room and
Speaker 3: that has continued. Athletes left Pickings is an issue. Is
Speaker 3: not playing up to his ability. His ability. I'm not
Speaker 3: saying they're coddling him, but I'm saying they're doing things
Speaker 3: that are making him not necessarily developed as fast as
Speaker 3: he should develop. They should have had another veterans about
Speaker 3: the quarterback, No, no, no.
Speaker 2: What about the quarterback?
Speaker 1: I gotta I imagine receivers will be happy if they
Speaker 1: had a better quarterback throwing them the football.
Speaker 3: Stephen A, this is not something I'm guessing about, Okay.
Speaker 3: I know I've had conversations with Mike Tomlin over the
Speaker 3: last year and a half that room is a problem.
Speaker 3: And then we just start hearing about the interviews and
Speaker 3: stuff the last couple of weeks. So Pittsburgh does a
Speaker 3: lot of things well, but now they cannot overcome because
Speaker 3: they can run the football, they got a strong defense,
Speaker 3: Mike Mike's leadership is is one of the best in
Speaker 3: the league. But you can't overcome a bad wide receiver
Speaker 3: room when you have a quarterback, especially this temperamental and
Speaker 3: their relationship could be fractured fairly. East Russell had issues
Speaker 3: when he was in Russell had issues when he was
Speaker 3: in Seattle. Now with the weak wide receiver room, do
Speaker 3: you think they're not gonna be some issues in Pittsburgh.
Speaker 3: Obviously there are. Just listen to them.
Speaker 2: Tyreek Hill, He's made some noise too.
Speaker 1: This is the guy that departed from Kansas City, went
Speaker 1: and got the bag in Miami, swore up and down
Speaker 1: that tour was gonna be just as good as Patrick Mahomes,
Speaker 1: and now here he is. Look at this quote. There's
Speaker 1: a lot of things that I need to reassess about
Speaker 1: my career. This is the first time I haven't been
Speaker 1: to the playoffs. I mean, I just got to do
Speaker 1: what's best for me or my family that's here or
Speaker 1: wherever the case it may be.
Speaker 2: I'm opening the door. I'm out. Bro.
Speaker 1: It was great playing here, but at the end of
Speaker 1: the day, I have to do what's best for my career,
Speaker 1: all right. This is Dolphin's head coach, Mike McDaniel. He says,
Speaker 1: I was informed that he was unavailable right before drive.
Speaker 2: I was not.
Speaker 1: Informed that it was a new injury. There were guys
Speaker 1: on the field that were competing. We were trying to
Speaker 1: win a game, so my focus was there. We will
Speaker 1: see how the next couple of days progress. In convos
Speaker 1: with him and I, here's what the two things going
Speaker 1: on here. CEC Number one, you Tyreek Hill, you depart,
Speaker 1: You go get the bag of Miami. You swore up
Speaker 1: and down that the two A tongue of the low
Speaker 1: was gonna be as good.
Speaker 2: As Patrick Mahomes.
Speaker 1: Very stupid thing to say. Kansas City has won two
Speaker 1: championships without Tyreek Hill. Ever since, he hasn't won a
Speaker 1: playoff game. He hasn't you know, he hasn't really done that. Secondly,
Speaker 1: you see the Twitter handle right there, he superimposes his
Speaker 1: face on Antonio Brown's body, so clearly he's telling you
Speaker 1: that's where his head is. At number three, he ended
Speaker 1: up pulling something like that. Dude Campbell for San Francisco
Speaker 1: did a month ago or so when he walked off
Speaker 1: the field, didn't want to play for the team, didn't
Speaker 1: want to enter the game in the third quarter. Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill essentially did that. The only difference is he stayed
Speaker 1: on the bench. He didn't go inside the locker room.
Speaker 1: This is egregious stuff. What do you make of it?
Speaker 3: Well, I'm not gonna correct you, but I'm just gonna
Speaker 3: let you know as far as what happens on the side. Now,
Speaker 3: Tyreek Hill on time, we got to places here in Florida.
Speaker 3: I go to a lot of Dolphins games. I follow
Speaker 3: the Dolphins. So he's had a knee problem that he
Speaker 3: hadn't been playing about all year. And when you go
Speaker 3: to a Dolphins game, after he makes a big catch
Speaker 3: or something, typically he comes out of the game. Now,
Speaker 3: I've watched him every year in Miami. No year has
Speaker 3: he been banged up as much as he has been.
Speaker 3: What typically happens in a situation like this, they're scoreboard watching,
Speaker 3: they're watching the Denver Kansas City game. The Denver Kansas
Speaker 3: City game starts to go sideways. Oh man, we ain't
Speaker 3: got a chance. Guess what, I'm not really getting ready
Speaker 3: to do. I'm not getting ready to get hurt out
Speaker 3: here playing for nothing. All right, I've been putting myself
Speaker 3: in arms way all season. I'm not I'm getting ready
Speaker 3: to check out and my teammates, Well.
Speaker 2: Then why just say that? Why not just say that?
Speaker 2: He didn't say that?
Speaker 3: CC.
Speaker 2: Why not just say that?
Speaker 3: Because I don't believe he's as good as with the
Speaker 3: media as I am. He's very very young, very very emotional.
Speaker 3: He's got a lot of other stuff going on that
Speaker 3: he didn't realize the long play. Because that's a professional
Speaker 3: decision right there. That people understand your teammates and stuff,
Speaker 3: understand how much you've been sacrificing, then that whole look
Speaker 3: like ad Man. You know, I take exception to that
Speaker 3: because to me, you know, I don't know where Ad
Speaker 3: is as far as his mental health to be able
Speaker 3: to mockt to be able to try to put yourself
Speaker 3: in the same light. And then also I see them
Speaker 3: five kids, and I hear that you got more than
Speaker 3: five kids. I see five kids in the picture on
Speaker 3: your headshot, and everything it should be about them, man,
Speaker 3: like they're gonna always go to go back, go back
Speaker 3: and google today and what the dad was doing. So
Speaker 3: be careful what you put out there. Man. A lot
Speaker 3: of this stuff is permanent and it's not about you.
Speaker 3: So he still got plenty good years of football left
Speaker 3: in him. He's a very, very explosive player. But I
Speaker 3: don't know why certain wide receivers towards the end of
Speaker 3: their career they decide to blow up places as they
Speaker 3: decide to transition to a new home. Going to a
Speaker 3: new home, there's nothing room with that. But there's a
Speaker 3: way to do it, and there's a way to handle
Speaker 3: your business and handle your affairs, and he's not handling
Speaker 3: that the right way.
Speaker 2: Two quick questions for I'll let you get on out here.
Speaker 2: Out of here. Is McCarthy going in Dallas? Should he
Speaker 2: be gone?
Speaker 3: Well, I don't think Jerry Jones has a better option,
Speaker 3: and that's why he let the contract play out. I
Speaker 3: do believe that he has slurred around with Dan, and
Speaker 3: I do believe that he entertained maybe some other ideas,
Speaker 3: but he believes probably long term, I'm probably better off
Speaker 3: sticking with the guy that I have because I can
Speaker 3: keep running the Cowboys the way that I went to,
Speaker 3: which is the most important thing. It's not who's the
Speaker 3: head coaches? How do I run this football team the
Speaker 3: way I want to do it? And I have someone
Speaker 3: that agrees to that right now. And I mean, how
Speaker 3: many more coaches contract here? Think he got left in it?
Speaker 3: I mean it was a few years ago. He went
Speaker 3: to see the plastic surgeon and everything, like, you can't
Speaker 3: go see nobody else. Ain't no blood transfusion, ain't no
Speaker 3: hey man, you getting old thesis become somewhat permanent.
Speaker 2: Oh my god, I know like you.
Speaker 3: This man wants to win. He is about winning, and
Speaker 3: he gonna try to do everything that he can to do.
Speaker 3: But this not that he tied is gonna be hard
Speaker 3: to impossible to untipped. I believe there.
Speaker 2: But he wants but he wants to win his way.
Speaker 2: He wants to win his way.
Speaker 1: And listen, he ain't trying to leave, He ain't trying
Speaker 1: to defer to anybody else. He wants to do the
Speaker 1: work because I think he's afraid the minute he steps away,
Speaker 1: he's just gonna lay down and die. And he doesn't
Speaker 1: want to do that. And and and that's really what
Speaker 1: it is about Jerry Jones.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: But anyway, last question to you, I'd be remiss in
Speaker 1: not bringing up the Ohio State and college football.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: I want to say this because you know, I took
Speaker 1: a lot of heat you had people because Kirk curves
Speaker 1: Sheet came at me in you know, he came, but
Speaker 1: I didn't take it personal or anything like that the
Speaker 1: way Shannon my Man Shannon Sharp did. But Kirk Curvestreet
Speaker 1: and Chris Foley came at us because we talked about how,
Speaker 1: you know, Ryan Day, you know, what his job could
Speaker 1: be in jeopardy And people thought that was ridiculous. And
Speaker 1: I'm like, even after he blew out Tennessee, I said,
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear that shit. I meant what
Speaker 1: I said. What I said was going into the playoffs
Speaker 1: having lost four straight games to Michigan, if this man
Speaker 1: would lose to Tennessee, he got to go. And then
Speaker 1: I love seeing you on the sideline for the blowout
Speaker 1: victory over Oregon. You're already in Pasadena. I said, my man,
Speaker 1: I said, my man. CC was on the air talking
Speaker 1: about the same damn thing, and he right there on
Speaker 1: the sideline.
Speaker 2: He ain't backing up.
Speaker 3: Ya.
Speaker 2: You better be here. You got That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I want to know your thoughts about what you've
Speaker 1: seen from Ohio State. How surprised are you if not
Speaker 1: at all? And what does say about Ryan Day that
Speaker 1: he's been able to win both of these playoff games
Speaker 1: in such a lopsided fashion.
Speaker 3: No, I'm very, very fortunate to be able to get
Speaker 3: inside the program when they were at the Rose Bowls,
Speaker 3: and that's be around the kids, listen to Ryan Day,
Speaker 3: listen to what they're saying before the game, whether they're
Speaker 3: justice at halftime. And I'm gonna tell you, I like
Speaker 3: what Ryan Day has done. I don't like the fact
Speaker 3: that we've lost the number of games to Michigan, and
Speaker 3: I don't like the style for which we lost, you know,
Speaker 3: two years being totally out physical and then this year
Speaker 3: being idiots for not throwing the ball to our explosive players. No,
Speaker 3: I don't like that. When I look at the overall
Speaker 3: state of the program, what kind of kids we had,
Speaker 3: how they play, how they represent the buck guys. I'm
Speaker 3: pleased with Ryan Day. The only thing that's going to
Speaker 3: be able to overcome people talking about Michigan is for
Speaker 3: the team to riches potential. That's what they are doing now.
Speaker 3: They are playing the style of football, and everybody talks
Speaker 3: about the twenty million INIL. They're third or fourth in
Speaker 3: college football. Oregon has twenty three million INIL for the
Speaker 3: football team. Texas has twenty two and a half million
Speaker 3: for their football team. You know, so people act as
Speaker 3: if Ohio State got twenty million, everybody else got five millions.
Speaker 3: No other teams are out expensive. This team has the
Speaker 3: potential to be the only team in Ohio state history
Speaker 3: that wins the national championship without beating Michigan. We've won
Speaker 3: eight national championships and all those seasons we beat Michigan.
Speaker 3: So he does have the program in the right state
Speaker 3: where it needs to be. Are we upset about the
Speaker 3: Michigan of course, and we should be, and we should
Speaker 3: be able to speak our minds about our head coach.
Speaker 3: If you don't beat Michigan, you are going to have
Speaker 3: a problem with a certain amount of Buckeye thinking and
Speaker 3: that's the way it should always be. This is a
Speaker 3: prime time job, but he is built for it. I
Speaker 3: do believe that he can take this to an all
Speaker 3: time high as far as a program, because they're gonna
Speaker 3: be sacked for the next three to five years.
Speaker 2: Here's here's my dear Chris, and I let it. I'll
Speaker 2: end up by saying this.
Speaker 1: I certainly wouldn't advocate for him being gone down because
Speaker 1: he's in the final four.
Speaker 2: He's in position.
Speaker 1: You win two more games, you're the national champion. Ain't
Speaker 1: nothing but respect for that. But I stand by the
Speaker 1: position that I took initially after you lost to.
Speaker 2: Michigan for the fourth straight time.
Speaker 1: If you had ended up losing that first game of
Speaker 1: the playoffs to Tennessee, well damn it.
Speaker 2: It's the Ohio State.
Speaker 1: If you can't handle the responsibility that come along with that,
Speaker 1: somebody else needs to.
Speaker 2: And it's just that simple.
Speaker 1: It's just that he has stepped up and he has
Speaker 1: handled it, especially blown out the number one team in
Speaker 1: the nation, Oregon. So I'm gonna give him his respect
Speaker 1: and his flowers. He deserves it now, But three weeks ago,
Speaker 1: I'll be damned if he deserved it.
Speaker 3: Brouk. We have to realize he is still a young
Speaker 3: coach man, like he is still growing as a coach,
Speaker 3: Like he is still getting better as a football coach.
Speaker 3: Like the landscape of college football last six years. Man,
Speaker 3: since he's been around, it's changed every other year. So
Speaker 3: there is being called professional development. And I do believe
Speaker 3: I would not take another coach over any coach than
Speaker 3: rehaving Ryan Day at Ohio State. I wouldn't take Start,
Speaker 3: I wouldn't take Kirby Smart and listen all these other coaches,
Speaker 3: Dabbo Davo went through this Ryan Day period before he
Speaker 3: got the national championship at Clinsion Kirby Smart. Remember, remember
Speaker 3: he couldn't win the big game at Georgia before he
Speaker 3: got a couple of championships. So this is a precursor
Speaker 3: for Ryan Day getting his reputation, getting the Buckeyes back
Speaker 3: on the national stage, winning their ninth national championship, the
Speaker 3: only time they're gonna be able to do it without
Speaker 3: defeating the team up north. And he has the program
Speaker 3: exactly where we want the program to be.
Speaker 1: Chris Carter always loved to talking to my man, and
Speaker 1: I look forward to talking to you next week after
Speaker 1: we watch some of these playoff games.
Speaker 2: Man, you take it easy, I'll.
Speaker 3: Holler at you, then a right appreciate you do.
Speaker 2: He's love, no doubt, m M.
