  Speaker 4: see our guy from the front, like weekend one, you
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: don't hit a spook and you don't You're not even
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: taking this conversation seriously, like I don't know what's happening
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: on the phone that's more important than a spook Tobra
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: conversation with our guy, our leader. And then we get
• 3:21
  Speaker 4: into the week of Halloween and you're the one guy
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: that's not in a costume.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was looking at my phone because I thought
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: I addressed it, and you were still want to go
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: in it, which is great. Here's what I think, guys.
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: I think I've already said that I shit the bed
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I did. When it comes to Spooktober, I do like
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: to carry the flypole. I do like to say, hey,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: we should have standards and expectations. And it's a bad
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: look when the leader says, hey, we need to have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: these standards and expectations and it doesn't work out he
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't follow suit with what he should be doing. I
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: gotta stop looking at sirm. He's kind of freaking me
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: out with the helmet and I don't know if he's
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: looking at me or looking at somebody else, but yes,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: I fucked up. I should have been dressed up. I
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't just up. And you know what, to make matters worse,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: it didn't even cross my mind this morning. It didn't
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: even cross my mind to get this done. That's the problem.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right. And so if you guys want to
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: spend the show for me figuring out how many ways
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: they can say, sorry, I can do that. But I
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: I am just letting you know. I shit the bed,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: and it's it's I let you down.
• 4:23

  Speaker 1: want to be the guy. This is the guy we
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: saw in twenty twenty five. What's the guy you're gonna

  Speaker 1: be in twenty twenty six. And that's once again, from
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: the bottom of my heart, I'm sorry. This this is
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: mere Monday. Yeah, this Spootober for me, from just a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: tailor little one perspective has been very underwhelming. I will say, however,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: from a from Taylor to one the dad, this has
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: been the best Spooktober of my entire life. We have
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: done so many The kids are fully bought in. We've
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: done so many things with the kids, and I'm very
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: proud of that. But you can't have one with that
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: the other. You can't have a good run game but
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: no pass game. All right, you got to put them
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: both together. And I can promise that to you guys
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: That just means on Thursday for our stream, when we
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: all dress up, you need to you need to win
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: all out.
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: If you don't win the costume content all out on Thursday,
• 5:24
  Speaker 6: there's gonna be some real, real chatter around the costumed
• 5:27
  Speaker 6: you know what.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I'm excited that you guys are giving me an opportunity
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: to make this right. So thank you. Yes, I get
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: the spirit. I got myself a nice little you know what.
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Thursday, We'll see Thursday.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: See Thursday. I'll see you boys Thursday for the stream,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: for the stream, but it is the weekend recapted.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: We want to get some football, Yeah, Brian Kelly got fired.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, we talked about it with Payton before
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: and he's like, if this game does and go the
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: way they want, I don't think that happens, but I
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: think a conversation takes place with this coordinators, with the
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: staff that's also going on. Then it's essentially on, Brian Kelly,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: are you going to fire these guys that you need
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: to fire? But after that ass beating that an M
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: put on and it was close, I mean LSU was
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: up for a minute, it was close in the first half,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: and it's just it's snowballed to where LSU the fan
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: base is channing fire Kelly. And I think you walk
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: out of that stadium, Tiger Stadium, and I think the
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: administration knew right then and there this can't be our
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: guy anymore if we want to keep this fan base intact.
• 6:33
  Speaker 7: Is there a scarier stadium to have to leave after
• 6:35
  Speaker 7: you're on the hot seat?
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: No, Yeah, Louisiana is essentially always in Spootober like that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: is a it's a crazy everyone's asleep dude. Yeah, Sherman,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: you're talking about there's a clip. There's a clip of
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Brian Kelly that somebody hiding the bushes while he was
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: leaving the stadium or leaving the uh the facility, and
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: he's like talking to people and all that, and he
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: like books it out of there. I have not seen
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: this clip yet.
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah yeah, and uh, I saw that Harrold Perkins
• 7:06
  Speaker 7: their best linebacker is basically it was like, I'm not
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: playing the rest of the season.
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Now, hold on. I saw that two, but I thought
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: that was No. Three. Now I think that was No.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Three.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I looked it up last night and I didn't see
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: anything because I went I went to retweet it or
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: quote tweet it and be like this guy we a
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: Mazon blue, we need this guy, of course. And then
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: I checked one more time and it said No. Three. Yeah,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: I think he got No. Three three and.
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: Actually does this is dude, is way too good.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: This is BK leaving the building right now. Also, okay,
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: is he parked in a handicap spot? Take a one
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: last look at it.
• 7:49
  Speaker 8: He's allegedly halfway parked in his reserve spot and halfway
• 7:53
  Speaker 8: parked in a handicap spot.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: Well that's all allegedly, We're not going to kick a
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: man while he's down. Does the door open? It does
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: he's pointing at somebody. I mean, that's a fifty three
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: million dollar man walking around right there.
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: That's a fifty three Yeah that biots.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: I think it's close to two hundred million dollars in
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: buiots so far, three fires totality.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: So yeah, that's that's the video saw Josh Pai going
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: off about him. I saw the clip of Josh Paate
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: going off about him on the show, and I think
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: what I'm appreciating is seeing the fan base, like there's
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: been other figureheads as well talking about it. Is just
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: talking about the optics coach Kelly. They're allegedly saying that
• 8:40
  Speaker 4: he was doing knowing he's going to be on camera
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: a lot, and kind of going off on all of
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: his coaches, like every time that there was an opportunity,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: like if a bad play happened, he's like, what the
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: fuck are we doing? Joe, like always just you know,
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: in the microphone, like kind of going at his coaches
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: and thinking it was more of like a like an
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: optics thing of you know, Kelly kind of removing himself
• 9:01
  Speaker 4: from the accountability factor.
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah that is yeah, yeah, I trying to make it cinematic.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: That's not that's something were there you see. I was
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: not I was not seeing those clips. I'll take your
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: word for it, though.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Like just every time, every time a moment would happen,
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: it's like people were doing the you know where they're
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: they're saying what he's saying, like quoting, like liperating and
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: everything else. But every time the camera would come on him,
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: it'd be like he'd pulled down the mic. He'd be like,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: what the fuck are you doing here, Joe? You can't
• 9:29
  Speaker 4: call that, you know with no timeouts. Just yeah, always
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: like these situations a lot, and they happen, I believe
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: multiple times.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Is what people were talking about.
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: And if you go off pate, you know, if there
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: if there's if there's gonna be a way, like if
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: there's gonna be a hard decision to be had the
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: position that coach Kelly would be in, he'd be putting
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: like an ultimatum like you're gonna have to you're gonna
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: have to fire guys internally on your staff or coach
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: coach Kelly is gonna be the guy that falls on
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: the sword, and optically, like if you're trying to laying the.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Staff, this is the way that you would be reacting.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: If the camera is on, right, Yeah, because if Josh
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: Peyton knows the noise and all the noise surrounding, he's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: obviously very aware. And it seemed like just that small
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: little clip in what you're saying is he is preparing
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: himself to fire guys in order to save his job.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: But the ass beating was so bad that everyone was
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: just like, you know what we're gonna have to do, right,
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: take We're gonna take out the trash.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: LSU is now the hottest job that's open. Yeah?
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: Is that?
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: Is that?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Is that worth thinking? That's over Florida, LSU Florida, Penn State? Yeah,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: I mean LSU. The club brought up a really good
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: point where Florida might be better than LSU if you're
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: a coach looking for a longer leash. Because at LSU,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: so coach O he was a nasal championship one two
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: years later, he's gone that that fan base knows they
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: can be national championship contenders every single year, and they
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: just think, all right, if you're not gonna get it
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: done in one two years, we gotta find the next guy,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: which could be the quickest way to ruin a program
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: because you want a little more like you need to
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: see these things kind of develop a little bit. Penn State,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: very similar ten and two coach, over and over and
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: over again, he's gotta go. And so next coach it
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: comes in the expectation tenant you get ten and two,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: there's gonna be a panic setting in there, Florida. You
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: will win yourself nine to ten games for a few years.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: Everyone's like, all right, slowly cooking. So he get back
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: on the right track. Did I hit that correctly? Clump, Yeah,
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: I think I.
• 11:23
  Speaker 9: Think that's perfect.
• 11:24
  Speaker 6: I think for expectations for sure. The coach, oh things
• 11:27
  Speaker 6: the best. He won a Natty and I think it
• 11:29
  Speaker 6: was twenty months later was fired. So and you're also
• 11:31
  Speaker 6: stepping into a place that did hire Brian Kelly, which
• 11:33
  Speaker 6: scares me.
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: So.
• 11:34
  Speaker 6: Yeah, like the people making those decisions, I wouldn't want
• 11:37
  Speaker 6: to be part of that, no doubt.
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta make sure everything's aligned.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I don't think they would. They would just you know,
• 11:44
  Speaker 4: ensue just all this expectation.
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: You will.
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: There is a standard at LSU. But I think these
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: years with Brian Kelly fan base is gonna welcome. If
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: they have the right hire like they're gonna have, They're
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: gonna have a leash not to be like a losing
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: you know, losing record multiple years in a row seasons.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: But I think that they will have like patients with
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: this next head coach if it calls for patients and
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: they're having like nine to three, eight and four win seasons.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: But yeah, dude, a lot of jobs opened, a.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Lot of jobs open, more jobs open at this point
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: I think we've seen in a long time, but also
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: more head coaches kind of rearing their head earlier in
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: this season being like, oh, that guy could be a
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: head coach at a major program. That guy Alex Golish
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: at USF or UCF which on USF Matt Campbell Ioway
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: state like, yeah, some are all tou lane coach. You've
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: all these kind of coaches that are like, hey, we're
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: ready for the next step, and it just seems like
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: everything's working out where these big programs are ready for
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: a guy to take the next step.
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: Horrible year to be the Virginia techs u clas of
• 12:43
  Speaker 10: the world.
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah that need a coach, not UCLA. I mean, I
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: know they got their ass bet by Indiana, but I
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: think they're set.
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: But not the year that you want your coach to
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: get fired not a year, which brings us to Baylor Cincinnati.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: I was talking with Surean before and he was just
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: up in arms. He's like, dude, Baylor, I was like,
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: I feel you, but Cincinnati is a tough team, Like
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: you kind of knew that that was gonna happen. Sure
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: if you don't, like, don't do the staring thing. This
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: is this is real conversation time with Baylor. But yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: where do you go if you're Baylor? Because you said
• 13:15
  Speaker 4: there was an opportunity a couple of years ago to
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: separate yourself from the head coach.
• 13:21
  Speaker 8: We could have got rid of a random two years
• 13:23
  Speaker 8: ago after the Air Force game.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: We did not.
• 13:27
  Speaker 8: We actually extended him, paid him more money, and then
• 13:30
  Speaker 8: we got more of.
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: The same thing.
• 13:31
  Speaker 8: And now we're looking down the barrel of the gun
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: in a college football environment with now twelve head coaches.
• 13:39
  Speaker 8: There's twelve openings, and it's like, now, I don't want
• 13:43
  Speaker 8: a random fired, because what the hell are we gonna do.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna want a Baylor job in this economy.
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: In this economy, go down to Waco. God, dude, it
• 13:55
  Speaker 8: hurts sick of Bears.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Baylor seems like the perfect school to be a casualty
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: of the NIL era.
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: Ship enjoy a game.
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I was about to say there's actually there's a
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: lot of money at Baylor. I don't think there's a
• 14:11
  Speaker 8: whole lot of direction of like not only building an
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: NIL but like going about finding talent.
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: If that makes sense. I don't know, dude.
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: I'm just very broken.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: I'm very empty. I'm very sad.
• 14:28
  Speaker 8: And yeah, Baylor's got to write the ship and do
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: a whole lot of things if they want to find
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: success in this era of football. I think a lot
• 14:34
  Speaker 8: of schools could say that, but especially Baylor.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: What should we talk about.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: Well, we should talk about me almost being a genius
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: over the weekend, almost shocking the world and hitching my
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: wagon to the South Carolina game. Cocks so fucking close, dude.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: And that is there are two games other than the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Michigan game. While I'm at Disney World and I had
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: to see I kept the box score up. One was
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Michigan Northwestern and the other one was South.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Carolina Michigan Michigan State.
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: Other than the Michigan game, Nebraska Northwestern. Yeah, I'm sorry,
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: uh Nebraska Northwestern. I kept watching the box score on that,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: and then I did pop on at one point Alabama,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: South Carolina. When I'm in Epcot, I think I'm in China,
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: and I go and look and I'm like, damn, we
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: we might be it. And JP and I thrown a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: couple of texts back and forth. I shoot them a
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: little text like, hey, you guys can do this. Student
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: section lines up to go rush the field. Alabama pulls through.
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: JP.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: Let's get your thoughts.
• 15:47
  Speaker 10: It wasn't fun putting on this costume today. I felt
• 15:51
  Speaker 10: like the clown thing another, you know, like the clown gift.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but man, it's hard.
• 15:56
  Speaker 10: It's like we we outplayed the number fours, even the
• 16:00
  Speaker 10: country for every single minute of the game except for
• 16:03
  Speaker 10: maybe the last five minutes. The defense played incredible. Ty
• 16:09
  Speaker 10: Simpsons pass the ball forty four times and I don't
• 16:11
  Speaker 10: know did he throw for did he have one touchdown? Y? Yeah,
• 16:17
  Speaker 10: But like we took their weapons out, defense played amazing.
• 16:21
  Speaker 10: Offensive play calling was better. Still could have still definitely
• 16:24
  Speaker 10: could have put the game away. Beamer said it in
• 16:26
  Speaker 10: the post game. When you're up by eight with four
• 16:28
  Speaker 10: minutes left and you have the ball, you have got
• 16:30
  Speaker 10: to step on their throat and put the game away,
• 16:33
  Speaker 10: and we didn't do it. And the most sickening part
• 16:35
  Speaker 10: of the game, I think is just the first play,
• 16:37
  Speaker 10: pick six, where we throw it out wide, swing pass
• 16:41
  Speaker 10: off our guy into Alabama's hands, seven to zero, and
• 16:45
  Speaker 10: it's just like we did that exact same thing against
• 16:48
  Speaker 10: Georgia when we were ranked number twenty four. Georgia was
• 16:51
  Speaker 10: number three. Swing pass out wide, pick six, Georgia touchdown.
• 16:55
  Speaker 10: And it's like, how do we have identical plays against
• 16:58
  Speaker 10: a number four team in Georgia and then a number
• 17:00
  Speaker 10: four team in Alabama. We've given away every game this year,
• 17:04
  Speaker 10: minus the Vanderbilt game, and it's just like, when does it?
• 17:08
  Speaker 10: When does it end? Probably next year when we make
• 17:11
  Speaker 10: a run. But it just sucks, man, because it says
• 17:16
  Speaker 10: a lot about Beamer two, like to get the team ready.
• 17:18
  Speaker 10: We've been kicking ourselves in the butt all year. Morale
• 17:24
  Speaker 10: would be an easy thing to lose, but he didn't
• 17:26
  Speaker 10: lose it. The team showed up, the crowd showed up.
• 17:29
  Speaker 10: And so when you walk away from that game three
• 17:32
  Speaker 10: and five on the year, going to Ole Miss playing
• 17:35
  Speaker 10: at night, going to Texas A and M I believe,
• 17:38
  Speaker 10: playing at night, and then Coastal and Clemson. It's like
• 17:42
  Speaker 10: he's done an amazing job keeping the team in it
• 17:44
  Speaker 10: for all the things that haven't gone our way. And
• 17:46
  Speaker 10: it kind of hurts too because it's our first game.
• 17:47
  Speaker 10: Our injury report has been pretty much empty, and we
• 17:51
  Speaker 10: competed with the best team in the country one of them.
• 17:55
  Speaker 10: So it just it's just like every single year, just
• 17:59
  Speaker 10: pain pain.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Is there any party that's nervous about the portal world
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: with you guys being three and five.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: And what it could potentially look like at the end
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: of I'm I'm saying that's what it's gonna look like.
• 18:11
  Speaker 10: But yeah, it's just so tough to say because with Sellers,
• 18:14
  Speaker 10: you really have no idea if he's gonna go to
• 18:17
  Speaker 10: the NFL or stay. I think if he stays, he
• 18:19
  Speaker 10: doesn't stay at South Carolina. Dylan Stewart, he's an interesting
• 18:24
  Speaker 10: one because he's not from South Carolina, he has no
• 18:27
  Speaker 10: home ties. He's been playing his butt off the last
• 18:29
  Speaker 10: three weeks and the whole defense wants to win. But
• 18:32
  Speaker 10: you can see it. I mean, Stuart is he's getting gassed,
• 18:35
  Speaker 10: like because he's going hard every single plane. He's making
• 18:38
  Speaker 10: so much impact that as an ultimate competitor, you wouldn't
• 18:42
  Speaker 10: It wouldn't be the most shocking thing in the world
• 18:43
  Speaker 10: if he went somewhere else. Hopefully he stays. I know
• 18:47
  Speaker 10: that he loves Columbia. Nick Carver loves that man Nick
• 18:50
  Speaker 10: Carver on Thursday before the game, and he was He's
• 18:53
  Speaker 10: a good dude, good kids'. Meeting him was just like
• 18:56
  Speaker 10: a good reminder of like, this guy is like twenty
• 18:59
  Speaker 10: years old old, really just started playing for real football
• 19:02
  Speaker 10: three years ago, and it's kind of enjoying just every
• 19:05
  Speaker 10: every piece of it. Yeah, has like a naive love
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: for the game, which I wish I could say the
• 19:11
  Speaker 10: same for myself, but.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 19:15
  Speaker 10: I mean, it's tough to say, like I want, I
• 19:18
  Speaker 10: want what's best for all of our best guys, and
• 19:21
  Speaker 10: I believe what's best for him is in Colombia. But
• 19:23
  Speaker 10: it's tough. You're three and five guys want to win
• 19:25
  Speaker 10: championships and this is a letdown of a year.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, she was telling about a couple whispers we've heard.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: You have to tell I thought we agreed not to
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: and I was really hoping to get to Alabama right now,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: but you it's too late now now now you have
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: to tell.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Them there's whispers that there's seven million dollars on the
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: table for Leonori's Sellers. There's whispers there was eight last year. Okay,
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: again just whispers. I'm not saying it's a it's a
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: guarantee or anything like that.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: That's one of the whispers.
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: Though.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Is it in the southeast? Yeah, yes, to one state over?
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Will does it?
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: Let me blame?
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Let me look at but yes, is it one state over?
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Let me take let me zoom out here on my phone.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: One of the jobs. The head coaches may or may
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: not be there next year.
• 20:30
  Speaker 10: Oh so probably not one.
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: What I'm seeing, what I'm thinking is it's two states over.
• 20:34
  Speaker 10: Yeah, there's a golf to it, and there's a.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: Uh again, it's it's whispers.
• 20:47
  Speaker 10: Yeah, money is going to be all over the place
• 20:49
  Speaker 10: for him.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 20:50
  Speaker 10: Because there's also still a bunch of NFL scouts that
• 20:53
  Speaker 10: are that are clearly watching the tape. He got to
• 20:56
  Speaker 10: see it in person of like Leonora Sellers leads the
• 20:59
  Speaker 10: nation and broken towns.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's a freak.
• 21:03
  Speaker 10: So it's like the you know, the stats aren't there,
• 21:05
  Speaker 10: so the stat watcher football fans have no idea. They
• 21:07
  Speaker 10: all say, oh, Leonora Sellers he was over hyped.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: He's this, he's that.
• 21:10
  Speaker 10: But then the scouts that are watcher like, this is
• 21:13
  Speaker 10: one of the most special athletes we've seen. So it's
• 21:16
  Speaker 10: like he could leave and goes to the draft, and
• 21:19
  Speaker 10: I like Seller's chances of staying at South Carolina. I'm
• 21:23
  Speaker 10: more nervous of Dylan Stewart.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, tell you what, Dylan Stewart looked great.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: He looked amazing.
• 21:28
  Speaker 1: Man, he would look great, amazing blue. No, hey, keep
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: it in house.
• 21:34
  Speaker 10: We look horrible up there. It's cold weather up there.
• 21:37
  Speaker 10: He's a short sleeve player.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Good DC from DC.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: He's told there.
• 21:43
  Speaker 10: No, he looks tough in the garden in black and
• 21:47
  Speaker 10: the number two d end come and visit.
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: I would love for him to stay there for you,
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: for South Carolina, you guys deserve if he were to leave, though,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: keep it nouse, No, keep it nouse.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: I feel like SEC players that Oh, I mean, that's
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: Haynes was Alabama and I went up to Michigan.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: Himself and thirty hundred and thirty two touchdowns.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Watch, thank you. I appreciate that.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: I couldn't help myself too. I was like, I was like,
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna get home. I'm gonna watch the game. I
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: have it saved on the YouTube TV or whatever. And
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: then we get back and I'm like, let me just
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: see what's going on now. He was like halfway the
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: first and I was like, I gotta watch this entire game. Now,
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: watch the entire game. Yeah, it was Uh, it was
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: a rivalry game. I think they got the Michigan State
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: got a garbage time back door cover. But the offense,
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: it wasn't like the best performance through the year. It's
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: not what you want. It was like the most conservative
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: game plan I've seen out of Michigan this entire year. Defense, though,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: like the last two weeks since USC has completely changed
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: their game plan to where they were. Butzing fifty percent
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: of the time last week was twenty five percent of
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: the time. I wouldn't be shocked if the number it
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: was even lower this week. But they're letting the horses
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: run right now, and it's given me a lot of
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: excitement watching that defensive group play the way they are
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: right now. So I'm very I mean, there's a very
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: strong chance we're playing Ohio State for a playoff bid,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: which would be don't sleep on Northwestern, don't sleep on
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: northwestes you got.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: A bye week this week.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: We know we up Predue this weekend, and then we
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: have maybe Northwestern after a bye and then we have Maryland,
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: which is gonna be tough at Maryland, and then Ohio State.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: Gotcha.
• 23:33
  Speaker 9: How did Bryce play this week?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: Good? Statistically not great, but uh, I think he put
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: the ball in positions for guys to be sucessful. There
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: was one two linebackers and a receiver that will not
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: be named, and he thread the needle perfectly hit that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: receiver in the face, literally hit him in the face.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And so yeah, there was He had a couple of
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: nice throws, but it was like he threw the ball
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: seventeen times like it was. The game was We're gonna
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: run the football and play defense. There was no offense
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: or butts about it. Third and seven plus. I could
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: do away with that game plan. I could do what
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: I could do away with that.
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: Let's not be in third or seven.
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: But don't ever apologize for a win. That's what I'll
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: say about that. And it shout out Michigan State. That's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: probably my least favorite school of all of the schools.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: They got up for that game. They played hard. There
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: was a lot of times Michigan had stepped on their
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: throat and they fought back their way in to get
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: that child's kid the quarterback for Michigan State. He I mean,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: he had a horrendous game, but then he had a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: couple of drives. It's like, oh, this kid, he's you
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: could tell he's a special athlete, like he's he's young.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Young.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: So team that had nothing, they had nothing to play
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: for their three and four, three and five whatever it was,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: and they h yeah, they got up. They got up
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: for that game. East Lansing stated it the whole time.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: So a lot of credit to them, a lot of
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: credit even though I spies that school.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: But anyway, got the little brother.
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: Got the little brother. I did it again. Yeah, I
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: think that's five five years in row, four years in
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: a row. Talk to me about Northwestern Nebraska, because I'm
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: watching that game on just like kind of refreshing and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: just seeing the scores go back and forth and I
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: don't know, really unfolded.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: We took our business.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: I was saying it last week, like this isn't this
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: wasn't a you know, you guys played Northwestern. You guys
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: should handle Northwestern. I'm glad we got out that energy
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: because you had to show up for this game. There
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: was a moment there was like twenty one to six,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: and the refs have absolutely fucking screwed us on a
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: fourth and short to where they completed it. They even
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: reviewed it, but the dude was clearly short of the
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: first down, not like clearly, but you just know he
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: was short of the first down marker to where he.
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: Double caught it. Did anybody catch this replay?
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Anybody see this play to where he caught the ball
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: coming back to it and if he catches it, he's
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: got a first down. But he double caught it to
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: where he bobbled it and then fully secured it once
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: he hit the ground. And when you're watching it like
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: he wasn't, he didn't get the first down. But they
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: end up giving them that conversion. They go down the
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: score that drive, Dylan throws a pick, they end up scoring.
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: They're back in the fucking game. Bro, it's it's it's
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: twenty one all because they got a two point conversion.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: We end up winning twenty eight twenty one. But look,
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: there's things you gotta take care of. They had another
• 26:17
  Speaker 4: explosive on us on the run game, whereas another fourth
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: and short and the d N is just crashing down
• 26:22
  Speaker 4: the right tackle and mostly just focuses on they think
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: it's going to be a pile for the fourth and short,
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: so the end just crashing him down, not even looking
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: at the ball, and Buddy scoots out the side and
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: takes it to the house when they scored off of
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: that interception. Massive game this week Massive game this weekend.
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: I mean this like, USC to me is a is
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: a very good football team. They're coming to Nebraska. It
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: is a blackout game, which I'm stoked about. They got
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: the all black unis on. But this is a tough
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: fucking football team. This and right now, the line is
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: like minus six and a half USC at Nebraska to
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: where I like, it's obviously it's this is a moneyline
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: for Willy c. But I'm looking at that line and
• 27:02
  Speaker 4: if you're everybody else, you're almost salivating at this. Uh,
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: USC minus six and a half at Nebraska, Like I
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: think they're giving us some fluff there because we're gonna have.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: To come correct. Like this is this is this is
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: a fucking game. This is a tough game.
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Lot of respect for USC. This is the season, This
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: is the season.
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: This is this is the season, absolutely, and that's a
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: good ball Cup. The huge win is it being in Lincoln?
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: It's in Lincoln. Yeah, the crowd ninety two thousand whatever
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, you know everybody's you mean they're blackout. Yeah,
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: they might need Willy C on the silo. You might
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: have to goas Will Yeah, is we'll go to me
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: in attendance for the epic USC versus Nebraska night game Saturday.
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Hashtag tear targets from Garrett Lake Lake Underscore Garrett.
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, there are some internal conversations being had at the household.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: You know, either be at the game or I think
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: this could very much be a stream game for myself.
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: Either way, this is this is JP said it, this
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: is the season, like, ah, yeah, we need everybody.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: What times the game?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: Night game? Yeah, this is night game.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: If there was ever a time for Nebraska, like it's perfect.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Get they get back in the top twenty five. Another
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: another opportunity on the drought we've been having against top
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: twenty five games.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: People question marks about the offense, the explosive plays US see,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: they have a lot of explosive plays. USC beat up,
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: beat up Michigan.
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: And the thought too is like there is a very
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: much a controversial we could have got called for holding
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: on the game. It was I want to say it
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: was fourth down. They hit us on a double move.
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: All buddies grabbed him coming out of his route, coming
• 28:54
  Speaker 4: out of the slugo, and fortunately, you know they don't
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: call it. We gotta get back. I'm thinking this is
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: get back for us and up the fourth and short
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: call on our end. But it happened a couple times.
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: They had a couple of big plays on third and
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: medium to where we're sending the house, and so all
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: the guys are blitz feet on islands and they hit
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: us with the double moves. So if you're a USC
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: and you're looking at that tape, it's like they got
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: some cats, Like.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: This is this is a game, baby, I'm.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: Excited about it. Yeah, I'm excited about it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Dude. Emma Johnson has been running his ass off, bro.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: I think he does.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: He lead the Big ten in rushing yards, led the
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: entire country and broken tackles over the weekend.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: Didn't play.
• 29:42
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I mean jeremih Love had a ton of success
• 29:45
  Speaker 10: running against USC.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: Yes, yeah, the formula the fourth like Emmitt Johnson does
• 29:52
  Speaker 6: not lead the Big Ten in rushing. Michigan's Justice Haynes does.
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well last week, Emma Johnson was because Justice didn't.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: He only played a quarter and a half versus USC
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: missed the entire Washington game and then played this first game,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: so he missed about one and a half games.
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, either way, Washington is a good ball club.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: That's a good ball club.
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, they handled Illinoiss. But Emma Johnson's just having a
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: year like this is you know, and this game is
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: gonna be awesome. I'm excited. I'm obviously nervous because USC
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: is a very good football team.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: This is very much a.
• 30:28
  Speaker 4: Spotlight primetime game for Nebraska. And because you win this game,
• 30:32
  Speaker 4: you're you're back in all the conversations.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: You Yeah, you win this game. It's like, oh, this

  Speaker 1: this is the time.
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: It's also that the opportunity though for Nebraska to let
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: Will know like, hey, we got you. You don't even
• 31:40
  Speaker 10: need to make the trip because it won't be worth
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: I won't.
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: Even I don't want to get any Baltimore material. There's
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: a great ball club. They're playing very well. That offense
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: is high powered. Yeah, man, but great spot for Nebraska
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: this weekend. Everybody need everybody every I'm with you. But yeah,
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: that's how feeling. I am glad that we came out
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: handle business against Northwestern.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: It's a tough football team. Nobody should sleep on them.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: Nelson eight o wait Awa. Nelson says, who do you
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: think has the best chance to make the CFB CFP,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: b YU, Navy, Notre Dame or Texas Tech. I think
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: the ant I mean is Texas Tech and Notre Dame.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Who has the better chance? Undefeated b YU is.
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: Undefeated, Big twelve. You're thinking b YU, Texas Tech. It's there, Cincinnati,
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati's right there. All these teams. I think they're playing
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: each other on the back of the season.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: B YU and Texas Tech. I think this week, Yes.
• 32:46
  Speaker 8: In Texas Tech is on their third string quarterback there
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: in the.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: Back no rolling.
• 32:55
  Speaker 10: Every conference is like there's no clear cut champion except
• 32:59
  Speaker 10: maybe the.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: ACC Georgia Tech.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: True.
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: Yeah, I'm saying Georgia Tech Miami like probably would be
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: a good game, but.
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: That seems like it's gonna be the championship, right. Yeah,
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: those two plays did they play?
• 33:14
  Speaker 10: I don't know if they play Georgia Tech and Miami,
• 33:19
  Speaker 10: but the CC like any I mean Alabama's play calling
• 33:22
  Speaker 10: at the end of the game. I don't know if
• 33:24
  Speaker 10: y'all saw it, No, you know, it was it was legal.
• 33:28
  Speaker 10: It was lethal, like wi wildcat to win the game,
• 33:33
  Speaker 10: fake reverse. Yeah, he can talk about it, but like,
• 33:36
  Speaker 10: those are the plays that I'm like, that's championship that's
• 33:39
  Speaker 10: championship football.
• 33:40
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they ever had to have it moments, and Jeremy
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: wasn't having the best day and what we needed in
• 33:45
  Speaker 7: most he was there.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: I will say.
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: At the game, JP and I talked about it. You've
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: been there, Jack, You've been there. Sandstorm gets insane. It
• 33:57
  Speaker 7: got the most hyped here in the game. But South
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: Carolina had to come out with the ball. So the
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: stadium goes from being as loud as possible to coming
• 34:06
  Speaker 7: back down. It was probably the best case scenario for Alabama.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And the first time I was like, I think
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: half the stadium forgot that. It's second and nine when
• 34:17
  Speaker 7: we come out of this, and it was just it's.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: So funny to listen to you with your costume one
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: right now.
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: But it was great, dude. I mean, yeah, we already
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: talked about South Carolina. But JP has motion in Colombia.
• 34:30
  Speaker 7: That is for sure.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Really for sure.
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: He's out there speaking it to the school. Is that
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: there speaking the classroom?
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: How was that, dude? How was speaking? Everybody going to that?
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: So you and Beam get a little coffee, old beer,
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: little bud light together.
• 34:42
  Speaker 10: What's going on now? Going back to talk to the classes?
• 34:45
  Speaker 10: That was that was awesome. That the pregame rush I
• 34:47
  Speaker 10: had before was like when you're getting ready to play
• 34:50
  Speaker 10: a game, and when you don't go play college, you
• 34:53
  Speaker 10: missed that feeling sits from high school to you never
• 34:56
  Speaker 10: know if you'll get it again. So my heart is
• 34:59
  Speaker 10: beating through my chip as I'm standing up there, and
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: then finally, you know, probably two minutes in, as they
• 35:03
  Speaker 10: just ask you like introduce yourself, you settle into it
• 35:07
  Speaker 10: and I put it in my post, but like it
• 35:09
  Speaker 10: just felt it is one of those crazy moments where
• 35:13
  Speaker 10: like I felt like I was doing what I was
• 35:14
  Speaker 10: supposed to do, where I was meant to do, and
• 35:17
  Speaker 10: to talk to like twenty kids after they're all lining
• 35:20
  Speaker 10: up to come talk to me, ask me about different
• 35:21
  Speaker 10: advice as well as to other speakers, and just like
• 35:25
  Speaker 10: seeing the looks in the eyes that some of the
• 35:27
  Speaker 10: fears that they had in the as a junior in
• 35:30
  Speaker 10: high school, junior in college, senior in college, and to
• 35:33
  Speaker 10: be able to try to impart some wisdom after sitting
• 35:36
  Speaker 10: in their seat and feeling those exact same fears was
• 35:40
  Speaker 10: just like a dream come true at a school that
• 35:42
  Speaker 10: I love, and it's like I grew up a fan
• 35:46
  Speaker 10: of South Carolina my whole entire life. And now while
• 35:48
  Speaker 10: I was able to speak at the journalism school where
• 35:50
  Speaker 10: I graduated from and the business school, Mitch's aunt is
• 35:53
  Speaker 10: one of.
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: The professors there.
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: Ant's class.
• 35:56
  Speaker 10: Yeah, and when I tell you that she might have
• 35:59
  Speaker 10: the best class across the whole school, it's like, I'm
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: not exaggerating at all. She's getting these kids prepared better
• 36:06
  Speaker 10: for anything in the next part of life than I've
• 36:08
  Speaker 10: seen any professor do. So shout out Beth and shout
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: out that class because she is. She's dialed in on
• 36:14
  Speaker 10: all of the right things that a lot of professors
• 36:16
  Speaker 10: are not. But it was I mean, it was, yeah,
• 36:20
  Speaker 10: it was. It was awesome. I almost don't have words
• 36:23
  Speaker 10: for it, even though I just gave a little speech
• 36:24
  Speaker 10: on it. It was just like it was so cool.
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: No, that's awesome, dude, because you do your mind, body,
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: and soul love South Carolina and getting to whatever range
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: of impact you're getting to have, but just getting to
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: have an impact on a school that you truly love
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: so much, dude.
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: They interviewed me before the game, like one of the
• 36:44
  Speaker 10: media people shout out Ethan and they're basically like, what's
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: it like being back home all this stuff and I'm
• 36:49

• 37:26
  Speaker 1: you see it. I did not last play the game.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: Missouri throws a hail Mary and the ball is Did
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: they end up saying it was caught?
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, it was.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: It was caught on like the one inch line to
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: where the receiver falls on the ground and his body
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: is on the goal line, but the ball is not.
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: Bro, we were me, Me and Matt and Ryan were
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: all there and like that play happened and it was
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: so loud, and then that play happened. We're like, oh ship,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: what just happened? And like so dandy players are on
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: the field like Matt Ryan and I start walking on
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: the field, and then the refs like hold on the
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: previous plays under review, and so like everybody's just staring
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: up at the big board of like what happened?
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: Look at this yo? That is crazy crazy.
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: Literally six inches away from being a tie ball game. Yeah,
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: backup quarterback broke pabula unfortunately, Yeah, got got his ankle
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: rolled up on. Kind of like a scataboo situation like
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: air cast and everything. But that backup, like he was,
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: the offense did not slew down one bit once he
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: came in, So I think they're going to be in
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: a good spot like moving forward with this guy.
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: But man, that is nasty.
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: That is I I'm just getting even more mad than
• 38:39

• 39:55
  Speaker 4: Bro.

  Speaker 1: Theo with the recruits too, Yeah, yeah, there's like six
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: one in the wheelchair.
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: He needs some refs.
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: He needs to be with the lower.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: So now he's like one hundred and fifty of that
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: clip does go so hard, dude and Pavia So we
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: have the Heisman favorites right now Fernanda Mendozes plus two sixty,
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: Tys Simpson three p fifty, Julian say Put Julian Saying
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: Year plus four hundred check down, Charlie Marcel Reid plus
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: five hundred, and Diego Pavia plus eight fifty. A lot
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: of respect for all these guys. I do joke around
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: by saying, but like this bus might have to become
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: advertisement for Diego Pavia to win the Heisman. We might
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: have to stand on that and sway any voters that
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: might watch this show.
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: He didn't.
• 40:42
  Speaker 10: We should see if the bus is on board with that.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: With that take, he didn't have it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I love the Pavia like I love the Pavia magic,
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: I really do.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: But I also love some Tyson.
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: Tyson that is the other one you look at you like, yeah.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Ma, Diego didn't have like the craziest game this weekend.
• 40:58
  Speaker 11: Twenty nine passing yards and interception.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: It's just something about like winning the Heisman.
• 41:03
  Speaker 3: It sounds so weird to say that he has these.
• 41:09
  Speaker 11: Words of the show because I haven't seen it all
• 41:12
  Speaker 11: day and I'm not trying to do this Tennessee versus Vandy.
• 41:14
  Speaker 11: But Joey Aguilar had twenty less passing yards against Alabama
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: than Diego Pavia had.
• 41:20
  Speaker 9: Versus l s U and Missouri combined.
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: I love this for Vandy seven and one, but I
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: just don't know. I don't know it's fair, but I
• 41:36
  Speaker 11: think that it's like they're taking Vandy as a whole
• 41:38
  Speaker 11: and they should be doing this whole Heisman candasy thing
• 41:41
  Speaker 11: that they're trying to like push.
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: But I don't.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean like that or like the aura and
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: the vibe of Diego like just radiates through the entire
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: team and that's what makes it like, yeah, like Pababi
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: didn't have the greatest game and like it hasn't really
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: had like that Heisman moment, but like the entire team
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: embodies his swag and I don't like, obviously I don't
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: think that's Heisman worthy, but like there's something to be said.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: About it that might be Heisman worthy. Establishing an entire
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: culture on a football team taking it, taking a dead
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: taking a dead program, transfer in and everyone being like, yo,
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: who the fuck is this Mexican kid with a with
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: a wrestling brain and he's just this is my team
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: now takes over and they, dude, they walk around like
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: their shit doesn't stink, and it's like, yeah, it hasn't.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Like they kind of just keep doing their thing.
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: They might be flipping a five star commit to Georgia
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: who's a Nashville kid, like he was at the game,
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: so like the aura Vandy is really.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: They've taken on the identity of old Diego Pope.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that I think there's lots of to be
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: said with that. Listen, we don't have to say he's
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: got to win the Heisman, but can we get him
• 42:44

• 43:08
  Speaker 3: the coaches like after the game, like we were somewhere
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: and they one of them was the O line coach
• 43:15

• 49:48
  Speaker 4: Guys, I'll be fully transparent. This is gonna be a legitimate,
• 49:52
  Speaker 4: full on old school podcast for your boy. Because I
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: had a really good buddy of mine who had a
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: wedding over the weekend and it was out in Sleepy Hollow.
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: Service was rough. The wedding was on Sunday. I didn't
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: get to watch a lick of football. I got to
• 50:06
  Speaker 4: follow some of the scores. I was involved in the wedding.
• 50:10
  Speaker 4: I had to fly into Loguardia drive an hour and
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: a half to get up to Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow
• 50:15
  Speaker 4: was wonderful. I'm talking about it is Halloween town. It
• 50:19
  Speaker 4: was a good time. But as far as watching ball
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: and coming correct on this podcast, this show Today with
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: Greg Olsen, I'm it's more of like I'm gonna ask
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: a few questions, sit and listen a little bit, maybe
• 50:29
  Speaker 4: tell a couple jokes, because I didn't really get to
• 50:32
  Speaker 4: watch the only thing I see as it feels like
• 50:33
  Speaker 4: it was separation Sunday because there were a lot of
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: ass beatings.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of ass beatings out there for sure. Yeah,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: let's start with so Greag called the Panthers Bills game.
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: The Panthers got absolutely blown out.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I saw that, dude, What the fuck happened to the Falcons.
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, that's.
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: What happened. What happened with their.
• 50:54
  Speaker 1: Unimaginative in the run game. They've gotten found out they
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: have not used b Jon Robinson the way they should.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: I know, Greg, We're we're not gonna have massive takes
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: on this thing, but like, if you got arguably the
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: best running back in the NFL, maybe keep them in
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: the game more consistently.
• 51:08
  Speaker 9: Right, Yeah, I'm not sure. Every week in and week out,
• 51:13
  Speaker 9: the Falcons are probably one of the biggest anomalies in
• 51:16
  Speaker 9: the NFL. I mean, I just got done studying the
• 51:19
  Speaker 9: Bills because I had the Bills Panthers game and the
• 51:21
  Speaker 9: last game the Bills played before thereby was against the Falcons.
• 51:25
  Speaker 9: And the Falcons beat them, and they looked great. The
• 51:29
  Speaker 9: Geon's running for long touchdowns, and they looked really good
• 51:32
  Speaker 9: on defense, getting after Josh and sacking them handful of times,
• 51:36
  Speaker 9: and you're like, all right, Falcons are back. You know,
• 51:38
  Speaker 9: Falcons found it. You know, earlier in the year they
• 51:40
  Speaker 9: lost thirty to zero against the Panthers, and then they
• 51:43
  Speaker 9: beat the Bills, and it just seems like every week
• 51:46
  Speaker 9: they just alternate.
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: Handled Washington, handle Washington, handled.
• 51:50
  Speaker 9: Yeah, hand Washington. Then you get beat by the was
• 51:54
  Speaker 9: it the Niners?
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: It was close though, like they went out to San France,
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: it was pretty it was close, right.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: It was closed. It was twenty to ten. But the
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: run game was like non existent in San Francisco when
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: they played. Because we Will after the Falcons Bills game,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: I saw the score. I didn't watch the whole game.
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: There are other games on, so I was like, man,
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: I wonder what happened there, and Will is like, Buddy,
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: this team they're sticky in the secondary, their defensive line
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: standing up, their run games, incredible Pennex he's getting the
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: he's dished the ball. They got Drake one and they
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: got Pitts. He's coming back.
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, and they bullied the b I'm like, oh, I.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: Gotta go watch this film if you turn it on,
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: and like, there's not a better team that one game
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: there runs eleven personnel outside zone better than the Atlanta Falcons.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: You're like, oh, dude, these guys really have it figured out.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Like not a lot of motion, not a lot of
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: like window dressing on their plays, but they're like all
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: off the time and are getting to their spots. They're
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: getting pushed on the front side they're cutting off in
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: the backside and Bijon looks incredible, So I dune Koolai
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: with him twos where we're in the locker room the
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: next week and we're breaking down who's gonna win forty
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: nine ers of the Falcons and I'm kind of up
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: in the air because Kyle Shannon to me, he's Coach
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: of the Year candidate with all the injuries they've had
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: and been able to still operate at extremely high level.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: Obviously they dropped this week and Will goes, don't overthink it.
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: It's Falcons. I'm not saying that the throw shake because
• 53:08
  Speaker 1: the Falcons and up losing that game. I'm saying I
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: saw the film as well. I'm like, this team can
• 53:13
  Speaker 1: be dominant. Yeah, and then these next two weeks happened. Yeah,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: and they play the Dolphins, who are like a walking out.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: It's Ootober, They're a zombie walking around. I'm thinking they're done.
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: And wouldn't you know it, they dropped what thirty eight
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: on them.
• 53:28
  Speaker 4: When I checked the score one time, it was like
• 53:29
  Speaker 4: thirty to three or something like that.
• 53:31
  Speaker 9: I was like, it wasn't even close. It wasn't even competitive. Yeah,
• 53:34
  Speaker 9: I I don't get it. I don't know how you
• 53:38
  Speaker 9: can be so good one week and so bad. I
• 53:41
  Speaker 9: understand stubbing your toe once in a while, Right, it's
• 53:44
  Speaker 9: the NFL. You're gonna have a bad game, You're gonna
• 53:46
  Speaker 9: have a bad outing. To be so back and forth
• 53:50
  Speaker 9: weekend week out, get blown out, look like the best
• 53:53
  Speaker 9: team in the league. Get blown out. It's it's almost
• 53:57
  Speaker 9: hard to do. It's I don't even know how to
• 54:01
  Speaker 9: wrap my head around it. It's pretty it's pretty amazing, especially.
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: When you're you know, you're coach Morris and you're walking
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: in like you know those vibes, like we're all professionals,
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: and it's like, how are that we this wildly inconsistent?
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: Right, they're the number one team in the NFL. That
• 54:18
  Speaker 1: reminds me of a college football team. And when it
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: comes inconsistencies, yeah, like all the boys went out last night,
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: like like guice, you're you're paid professionals. We can't have
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: this big of a drop off.
• 54:27
  Speaker 9: I'll tell you what I don't like though. I don't
• 54:28
  Speaker 9: like all the pistol.
• 54:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, well I don't.
• 54:32
  Speaker 9: Like pistol zone. I like pistol counter, I like pistol
• 54:35
  Speaker 9: pin and pull like, I think pistol is nice because
• 54:38
  Speaker 9: if you are going to be primarily a gun team,
• 54:40
  Speaker 9: which they are, especially with Pennix. I again, I didn't
• 54:43
  Speaker 9: see much of the game yesterday. Did they change much
• 54:45
  Speaker 9: with I know with with Cousins playing, I'm not sure,
• 54:47
  Speaker 9: but prior they had been so pistol heavy, gun heavy,
• 54:50
  Speaker 9: and I get why you don't want to just be
• 54:52
  Speaker 9: single back, run off, set back, and it gets very
• 54:55
  Speaker 9: telling where you're going with your zone stuff. So I
• 54:57
  Speaker 9: get the pistol idea. I don't I think the angles
• 55:00
  Speaker 9: are good. I don't think the play action is good.
• 55:03
  Speaker 9: I don't think it has nearly the benefits that outside
• 55:06
  Speaker 9: inside zone have from under center. I think that's a
• 55:11
  Speaker 9: part of the issue in the NFL. I just don't
• 55:13
  Speaker 9: think the angles front side. I think it gets really wide,
• 55:16
  Speaker 9: it gets really strung out. Yeah, So I again not
• 55:20
  Speaker 9: to get into super football in the weeds. I just
• 55:23
  Speaker 9: think being so exclusively pistol makes everything else a little
• 55:26
  Speaker 9: bit of a challenge.
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: Now, I dide I agree with you, And darro Lovski
• 55:29
  Speaker 1: talks about this all the time. He's like, his big
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: trend this year is we need to make football under
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: center again. That's like kind of like what he wants.
• 55:36
  Speaker 9: And everybody's doing it.
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with getting under the center snapping the
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: ball because when the quarterbacks back is turned and obviously
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: like it's going to help the play action pass so
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: much more. Which is what you need against these like
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: super exotic defenses nowadays, is you need guys to kind
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: of get up so these zone windows are more open
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: behind them. And when you're in the pistol, it's a
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: quick little turn to the side and there's nothing like
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: the tip about it to where it makes And you
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: could speak on this well from a linebacker's perspective. If
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: you're in the gun and he's just kind of turning
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: and then goes into setup, it's like there's nothing giving
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: you like, oh, I got to get down that gap
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: to stop the run. Yeah, correct, And saying that.
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you can transfer, You're able to transfer your eyes
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: quicker and you feel like play action and everything else.
• 56:18
  Speaker 4: If you're under center and they're pressing the gap, you're
• 56:21
  Speaker 4: gonna take that extra step as a backer to whereas
• 56:23
  Speaker 4: a pistol everything kind of unfolds a little bit quicker
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: for you.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. So yeah, it just but that being said, the
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Falcons if I'm a betting man, which I am, I'm
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: staying away from the Falcons the rest of the year.
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: You just have no idea what you're gonna get. Like
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: if I'm going to go in the FanDuel sportsbook gap
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: and I'm not even gonna look at the Falcons logo anymore.
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: It's it's terrifying. It's probably the scariest team to bet on.
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: But the game we almost started talking about was the
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: game you called, and I want you to break down
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: Bill's Panthers a little bit short drive for you. That's
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: where you played your career at I'm sure like when
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: you're calling these games, you're thinking, you know, you want
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: to be as unbiased as possible. There's probably a piec
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: of you. It's like, man, I really hope and Andy
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: Dalton can step in for Bryce on here and they can,
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: you know, keep this home win streak alive and the
• 57:05
  Speaker 1: Bills come off as by and just absolutely dominate all phases.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: James Cook has two hundred and fifteen yards on nineteen
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: carries and two touchdowns. Like the defense stood up in
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: a big way. It was it was obviously an extremely
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: dominant performance across the board in all three phases for
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: the Bills.
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: What did you use?
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: What was your biggest takeaway from those games?
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: Before you answer that, how the fuck did the Jets
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: win always get that much closer to getting in the game? Yeah,
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: what the hell happened?
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: I think you know, we're gonna stay focused.
• 57:41
  Speaker 9: You're coming off the wedding, yea, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
• 57:43
  Speaker 9: a lot on your mind. Let's stay locked in. Yeah,
• 57:45
  Speaker 9: me and Taylor will keep this on track. You just
• 57:48
  Speaker 9: you're just hanging there.
• 57:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, rocky out there, but they had a couple too
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: many times rain jacket.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: This is a rocky boy, This is a rocky you know.
• 57:57
  Speaker 9: So it's actually fine. So what we were just talking
• 57:59
  Speaker 9: about with the under center stuff, when you watch Buffalo,
• 58:03
  Speaker 9: the Buffalo, we all remember of years ago of Josh
• 58:06
  Speaker 9: being in you know, Josh Allen being in the gun
• 58:08
  Speaker 9: and every ball being in his hand and it's dropped
• 58:10
  Speaker 9: back pass and it's They have made a pretty remarkable
• 58:14
  Speaker 9: transformation to a heavy under center, run, first mix in
• 58:20
  Speaker 9: play action, run dominant offense, and it's been very intentional.
• 58:25
  Speaker 9: I don't think their outside weapons are like traditional X.
• 58:29
  Speaker 9: You know, they don't have like a traditional X receiver.
• 58:31
  Speaker 9: That's gonna work, you know, the deeper zones and go up.
• 58:33
  Speaker 9: I think Kean Coleman, they're still trying to get him going.
• 58:36
  Speaker 9: It's a lot of quick, quick passes, a lot of
• 58:38
  Speaker 9: run after catch, Khalil Shakir, you know, guys trying to
• 58:41
  Speaker 9: you know, Kinkaid trying to get the ball in guy's
• 58:43
  Speaker 9: hands and run after But yesterday it was just all
• 58:46
  Speaker 9: about the run game. I mean, James Cook was incredible.
• 58:50
  Speaker 9: He had like one hundred and thirty five yards after
• 58:52
  Speaker 9: contact at I mean before contact at halftime. I mean
• 58:57
  Speaker 9: he was he was ten fifteen yards into the teeth
• 59:00
  Speaker 9: of what was a very good run defense in Carolina.
• 59:04
  Speaker 9: He was ten ten twelve yards into their defensive second
• 59:08
  Speaker 9: level before he was even being touched. You know, he
• 59:10
  Speaker 9: broke a forty some fifty yard I can't remember exactly
• 59:14
  Speaker 9: how fart was in the first half. He was incredible.
• 59:18
  Speaker 9: The offensive line was great. So it was funny we're
• 59:21
  Speaker 9: calling a game with Josh Allen and he's arguably the
• 59:23
  Speaker 9: best player in the world and of course the reigning MVP.
• 59:26
  Speaker 9: And he made some good throws. He made a couple
• 59:28
  Speaker 9: typical Josh Allen scramble, drill, keep the play alive and
• 59:32
  Speaker 9: get a conversion down, but like he was a pretty
• 59:35
  Speaker 9: non factor, which I said at the end of the game.
• 59:38
  Speaker 9: If I'm a Bills fan and I'm the Bills, I'm
• 59:42
  Speaker 9: wildly encouraged by the fact that the best player in
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: the league, potentially if not the top two or three,
• 59:49
  Speaker 9: we were able to put up a forty spot be
• 59:51
  Speaker 9: utterly dominant the entire game, and our best player had
• 59:56
  Speaker 9: a much less impact than what we're accustomed to seeing.
• 59:59
  Speaker 9: I think that's high encouraging because we all know come
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 9: the end of the year, come playoff time, there's gonna
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 9: be some Superman moments where it's gonna be all right, Josh,
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 9: the days are just you lining up under center handing
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 9: it to James Cook, like we need you to be
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 9: Josh Allen, we need you to be the MVP, and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 9: we're gonna let you go roll designed quarterback, run, scramble,
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 9: obviously pushing the ball downfield like those days are coming
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 9: for them to be as good as they were offensively,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 9: and now say, okay, that's not even with Josh Allen
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 9: being Josh Allen is I think it's scary. I think
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 9: that's the recipe they want to be in the regular season.
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 9: I think that's the recipe they think gets them over
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 9: the hump. In the playoffs, defense was much better. Took
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 9: took the ball away four times, one down to like
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 9: the one yard line. Ajpanessa had an incredible tipped interception
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 9: on a like a little tunnel screen, hit him in
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 9: the hands, caught it, took it down to the one
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 9: to set up a touchdown before the half. So it
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 9: was a overall Buffalo dominant performance.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: The the whole. Josh Allen's got to be great. That
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: is coming. I'm assuming in the next week is they're
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: gonna have to play the Chiefs. I don't know if
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: it's at the Chiefs or at the Bills, but the
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Chiefs played a night on monning at football, so I
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: think they'll have to look at Josh Allen be like, hey,
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 1: now you have to be this raining MVP, top three
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: player in the NFL. But this is a This is
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: a Will Compton after the Atlanta Falcons game, which is
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: a big brain move by him by getting us to
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: talk about that game. First is I asked him to say, hey,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: what do you think happening? He goes, bro they got
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 1: away from the run way too quick. And just try
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: to make Josh do everything. In that Falcons game, they
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: go over the buye after that, and it seemed like
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: they were in Will Compton's head where they're like, hey,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: let's run the ball till we can't type of situation,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: get under center and utilize the play action.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 4: So, especially if you got like the Bills question Will, like,
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 4: I know they're in the conversation, are they going to
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 4: go pick up like a defensive player? Like, they're pretty
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 4: light in the ass at the second level, Like when
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: you see them against the Falcons are a good run
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 4: team that gets you going sideways. That is where their
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 4: weakness is. I love that they had takeaways, but an
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: example of that too is you look at the Bears.
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: The Bears were like number one in the league at takeaways,
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: and then you go and play against a team who
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: ends up taking care of the football that game and
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 4: when those weaknesses start to show itself. What fires me
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: up about the Bills is if you're winning the football game,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: especially under center in the run game with James Cook,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 4: you're gonna be able to control the clock more, You're
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: gonna be able to sustain drives longer. But if you
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: do get that shootout. If you do get in those
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 4: high scoring matches against good offenses, that's where I get
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 4: nervous because I feel like they're front seven has been
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 4: a little questionable when it comes to stopping the run
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 4: and everything else, because you can't just assume they're gonna
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 4: take the ball away, you know what I mean. If
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 4: you're leaning on that, I know, that's like you know,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 4: some momentum, once you get hot, it starts to happen,
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 4: you start taking the football away. But if you're just
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 4: leaning on that, I feel like those weaknesses in late
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 4: season football will start to rear its ugly head if
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: you know, if they don't go and get somebody on defense,
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 4: or if they just don't consistently eat weekend and week out,
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: start taking care of these things defensively where they do
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 4: where they have had question marks. So I am like,
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 4: I'm fired up that they ran the ball a lot
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 4: more with James Cook. I think this is an offense
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 4: that you get going and when they're not getting touched,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: you know they're getting into the second level of the defense.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 4: My only reminder and experience is the Tennessee Tights. When
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: Derrick Henry gets going in your football really well, and
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 4: then when Josh Allen makes a playoff of it's like,
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: oh shit, they also have Josh Allen the running MVP.
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: But I know, for me, not not watching them defensively
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 4: against the Panthers, for me, my whole question mark was, Man,
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: they just don't They don't seem like their defense is
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 4: going to match the offense unless they're living under center
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: and they can keep them kind of off the field.
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the impressive thing about the Bills defense in this
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: game was not just the turnovers, but I mean, Panthers,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: their bread and butter is running duo, running gaps game,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: double teaming the doubt and getting into the getting into
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: the meat of the secondary between the both the tackles,
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: and I hought they did a great job in that game,
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: Like they did a good job of stuffing the run,
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: making them pass, causing turnovers.
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: Because of it, Chiefs.
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: Will be a great benchmark for him because Chiefs are
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: playing fantastic, They're playing great, and they obviously put a night.
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 9: But one last thing, because what you guys are saying
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 9: is the real teeth of the conversation that I think
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 9: sometimes people ignore the ability. So we'll just take Buffalo
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 9: since we're obviously talking about them. Their ability to play
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 9: run defense obviously has been a conversation going into that
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 9: Panther game. The run defense was historically bad. They were
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 9: giving up chunk plays at a record rate, giving up
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 9: a lot of yards before and after contact. The tackling
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 9: like that was everything Buffalo was talking about addressing at
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 9: the bye week right down into the Panther game. But
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 9: the part everyone has to realize is, if you want
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 9: to get better at run defense, just score a lot
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 9: more points on offense. Right, Like, your ability to mask
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 9: one side of the ball or the other is less
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 9: about just improving that phase of your team and more
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 9: about phasing the complementary piece on the other side of
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 9: the ball. So if you're a team that really struggles
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 9: running the ball, you've got to make this a shootout.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 9: You've got to have an offense that can generate points,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 9: finish drives and then yes, if you get take and
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 9: that can also mask some of those issues. But all
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 9: of a sudden, you get into a slugfest and you
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 9: get into a game where maybe you're not finishing, you're
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 9: kicking a lot of field goals. Maybe your run game
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 9: is going into a tough matchup up front, you just
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 9: can't get anything going. That's where Josh Allen, that's where
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 9: having the best player in the league now they get
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 9: untapped in and say, all right, Josh, it's time now
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 9: to put this game on your back, because we don't
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 9: want to be in a fourteen to ten second half
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 9: game when a team could just run the ball at
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 9: us thirty times. So that's kind of the back and forth.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 9: That's the cat and mouse game. And that's why having
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 9: ultimately Josh Allen as your quarterback, even if right now
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 9: you want to be a heavy run team, there is
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 9: gonna be a time where Josh is gonna have to
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 9: take the game over because they're not built defensively to
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 9: play a thirty attempt run game in a low scoring battle.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 9: They have not shown that that's the strength. And at
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 9: Oliver goes out to injury with a byseep yesterday, hoping
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 9: it's not as bad as it looked. He did not return. So, Yeah,
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 9: little light up front, little light on the second and
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 9: third level. I don't know if that's the type of
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 9: game they want to make a you know they want
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 9: to major in.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the game, the game coming up against the Chiefs
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: is massive because Obviously, when you win the division, you
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: play the best best teams in all the other divisions.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 1: And the Patriots, who get what they were fourth last
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: year in the division AFC East, I believe, so four
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: to third, they were not great. They they're in a
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: six game winning streak right now. They just took arguably
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in all of the NFL
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: and put thirty two on them Drake May two eighty two,
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 1: three touchdowns. So they have to get their ass going,
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: like there is no if you want to win the division,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: you want to end this year with possibly a bye,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: you got to win out broh.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 4: Because the Patriots are in a great spot. And I'm
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 4: I'm curious too to dive into all their second ha
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: statistics because they seem like a team that's adjusted really
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 4: well at halftime, because I want to say, just checking
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: the side coaching. Yeah, it seemed like it was close
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: going into halftime. And then obviously, like Drake May, he's
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 4: one of the best quarterbacks right now in the NFL.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 4: And the Patriots are just a team and they have
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: the schedule like they could win. I feel like they're
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: going to win the AFC East.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, their schedule definitely sets them up for sure. They
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: have Drake May perfect passing rating over twenty yards. He's
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: bawling out right now. And it did get Harry for
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: a second. Like you know, the the rookie what's his name,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Will Campbell? Will Campbell, he had himself a tough day
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 1: against Miles Garrett. People said he give up five sacks.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: This is not he didn't give up all five sacks.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: When they were showing the highlights, there was a couple
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: on the right tackle as well. I know that personally
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 1: that that's something I want to defend for my boy,
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Will K Taylor.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: Taylor sees five sacks in a game, and I really
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: went back and watched all us.
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: It wasn't all Will Campbell. Okay, also Drake me gotta
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: get the ball it a couple of times there. But yeah,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: this team. You see Miles Garrett, he's frustrated. He gheits
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: five sacks in the game and he's still slamming his
• 1:07:49
  Speaker 1: helmet on the sideline because their team just cannot win
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: games even though he's being superman out there. But these Patriots, dude,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: have you were you able to watch the game at all?
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 9: I saw some of the high I saw some of
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 9: the clips. I went back. I try to, you know,
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 9: after my game's over, if it's not in the late
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 9: window and I'm home to watch the late window, I
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 9: try to just go and just at least familiarize myself with,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 9: you know, the matchups and who played well, and take
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 9: a look at the box score in the highlights and
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 9: try to get some context. You know, I think the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 9: Miles Garrett thing is going to be a storyline all year.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 9: I think, you know, you go back to that, you know,
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 9: I think he goes back to that decision in the
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 9: summer where he made it pretty clear that he wanted
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 9: to be out, that he wanted to go somewhere else,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 9: and then obviously they threw a ton of money at
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 9: him and he signed up for it.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 9: You signed up knowing you had some questions that quarterback,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 9: You had some questions in a lot of different areas.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 9: The defense was gonna be good, you knew that. But
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 9: the reality is, in the regular season, offense is where
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 9: you're gonna win. Right, Offense is going to drive it,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 9: and then defense will kind of tip the scales a
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 9: little bit more. Once we just get all the bad
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 9: teams out in the playoffs, and defense seems to have
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 9: a lot more correlation to advancing in the playoffs than
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 9: it does in the regular season, so he kind of
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 9: knew what you signed up for. He is incredible. I
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 9: think he's going to make a lot of offensive lineman
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 9: looks stupid. I don't think it's the young rookie from
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 9: New England. I don't think it's unique to him. But yeah,
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 9: they've got serious issues, especially offensively. They got a lot
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 9: of lot more questions than answers. But Drake May, I
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 9: mean he's in the MVP conversation, and I think what's
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 9: so cool about this year is the MVP conversation through
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 9: week eight is really a bunch of It's not the
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 9: typical Josh Allen's and mahomes as good as they are,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 9: and maybe by the year end they will be the
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 9: last one standing. But like Daniel Jones, Drake May, I
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 9: think Jordan Love has been incredible. I mean, this next
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 9: kind of crop of young quarterbacks is playing incredible ball
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 9: through call it the first half the season. I think
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 9: that's what's made this season so fun to follow as
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 9: just a football fan.
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield as well, but he didn't have the best
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: Baker Baker, Baker, Sammy Donald, Sammy Donald, Yeah, those bunch
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 1: of them.
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 4: It's funny because like mahone, he's playing, he's playing incredible.
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: He'll he'll be in the conversation.
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 4: But just taking that crop you listed where it was
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: like whether it's Baker Mayfield, Danny Dime, Sam Darnold, Drake
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: may if those four, if their names were all these
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 4: upper tier guys like the Mahomes, Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson,
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: if those guys are having the season that these young
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: cats are having that were naming, nobody else would be
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: in the conversation. It would just be those three to
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: four guys. But no matter what, we're always gonna hang
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: on to even even if Lamar pops off at the
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 4: back of the season, He'll still be in the conversation. Yeah, Like,
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: you'll still give these guys chances to be in the
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: conversation even though they're not having the season that these
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 4: other guys are having.
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 9: Right and talking about Lamar. As bad as things have
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 9: looked for Baltimore, buddy, they're gonna get Lamar back at
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 9: some point and obviously that changes everything. That win yesterday
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 9: now obviously only their second, but with the way that
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 9: AFC North Division is shaping up. It seems like Steelers
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 9: can't run away with it. They haven't been able to
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 9: run away with it. They lose last night to Green Bay.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 9: I think it seems like the world is coming to
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 9: an end in Baltimore. They're two games back and the
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 9: idea being that you have to imagine Lamar is probably
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 9: back this week, if not the following. So as bad
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 9: as things have started, you have sometimes the benefit of
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 9: being in a bad division. I've been there. I won
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 9: a division one time in the NFC South that we
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 9: went seven to eight and one and we won the
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 9: division and hosted a playoff game. Like sometimes the nature
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 9: of the league is your division stinks and you have
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 9: a little bit more margin for error, So don't I'm
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 9: not completely out on Baltimore, even though things have looked
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 9: really bad, and obviously Lamar's return is a big part
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 9: of me.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, just going off of that game, I think this
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 1: is a bigger win for the Ravens than people even realize,
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 1: because is where the Bears done so great is they
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: played great defense, they get in takeaways, and they've ran
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 1: the ball incredibly well. Where the Ravens have really struggled
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: to go back to that Lions game. Make those two
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 1: running backs for the Lions were running all over the
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: Ravens and you get Rokwan Smith back, you at Kyle
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: van Noi back and their defense, I mean Kyle Hamilton, dude,
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 1: he is absolutely incredible. They were able to stop the
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 1: run pretty consistently. And I start a cool uh maybe
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: not cool staff for Caleb Williams. But first quarter the
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: Bears are plus twenty two in their point differential and
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 1: Caleb Williams is throwing out seventy one percent quarters two
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: through four, Caleb is like fifty one percent?
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah was that?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 1: So it just shows was that our boy coward that
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 1: you're popping on coward as well? But yeah, it just
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: seems like when they're on script. Ben Johnson he is
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: play calling is great, he does everything, he does everything
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: the way he wants, but then his quarterback looks at
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 1: the first or second read and then he just wants
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 1: to run for his life. When I think that, Ben
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: Johnson's like, really not about that. But their defense has
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: played really well. And for Tyler Huntley, Tyler Huntley for
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 1: him to be twelve or thirteen after the first half
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 1: is awesome, so they keep getting healthy. The Steelers, they
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: probably should have lost this game against the Packers. I
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: think everybody thought that was gonna happen, but the Bank
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: was the week prior to that. It's like, that's a
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: wide open division right now between those two teams. And
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: I think the Ravens come back and win it now.
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: They had a chance to put it away with even
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 1: that Bengals win the Bengals game.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 9: The Bengals game losing losingto the Packers. I think the
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 9: Packers are good. I think Jordan Love is good. I
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 9: think that's a young team, They're super talented. Craft was insane.
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 9: I mean he looked like the best player on the field.
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 9: I got Green Bay this week. They I go to
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 9: Lambeau this week. I got them hosting the Panthers. So
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 9: that will see how that goes.
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 1: But we know how that'll go.
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 9: That's gonna be tough.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's gonna be a tough one. It's gonna be
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: a tough one for the Panthers.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 9: That's gonna be yeah. But yeah, that the for the Steelers,
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 9: that game against Flacco and the Bengals, and Mike Tomlin
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 9: called it, I mean Mike Tomlin was like, I don't
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 9: know what the Browns are thinking. They must be smarter
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 9: than the rest of us, But they send a guy
• 1:13:55
  Speaker 9: that was the week one starter to an inn an
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 9: in division rival that is reeling at the position and
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 9: giving them fresh life, and now they the first game
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 9: he beats, He beats, you know, he beats the Steilers,
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 9: and Tomlin looks like a genius. And then obviously they
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 9: lose to the Jets, but he scored thirty eight. Yeah,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 9: so he's definitely given the Bengals a little bit of life. Defensively,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 9: they're still struggle bust there in Cincinnati.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 1: No dude, the Jets getting their first win to me.
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 9: Who would have thought they were gonna score thirty nine points.
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah? And that's what sucks too, is because we
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 1: all we've all kind of, like said, the Bengals defense
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: is horrendous, but like it's kind of been masked and
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 1: the quarterback play has gone a whole lot better. So
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: it's kind of quiet down. But you lose to a
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 1: Jets who's won zero games, it tells me two things. One,
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 1: the Bengals are as bad as we thought they were
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 1: on defense, and two we stayed in Nashville, Tennessee. I
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 1: think we're looking at the least competitive NFL football team
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 1: in the NFL right now, and that is the Tennessee
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 1: Titans because of it. And it's just it sucks to
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 1: say because that's where I played my career at. But
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 1: we had a whole lot to figure out over there.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 1: Yea Eagles, Yeah, we've all. Hey, budd it, we've all.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 1: We've all had some tough times. It makes the good
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 1: times that much better. Uh, Eagles are back, dude.
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 4: I listen Sae Kwan, he's on my fantasy football team.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 4: See him put up north of thirty and seeing him,
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 4: what did he have? Like over one hundred yards, a couple.
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: One hundred and fifty and a touchdown on the ground,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: one through the air, twenty four. Uh. Receiving as well.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 1: Hurt is growing. Jalen Hurts. He gets four touchdowns.
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: Four touchdown.
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he didn't throw for a lot of yards, but
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 9: he threw four touchdowns, which was super efficient. I think
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 9: Saquon popped off the second play of the game.
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's dude. That has been a trend of theirs.
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: If you pop on like the first series of every
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: one of their games. Like they run the ball very effectively,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 1: and then.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: Sakuon looks like he's gonna have a game yeah, and
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: then all of.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: A sudden, they like change their run game and it
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: doesn't work out. I haven't gone back and washing the film.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: I just saw it live, but it seemed like they
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: kind of stuck with the same type of run plan
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: as they did in the first series as supposed to
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: going like to a bunch of different kind of run
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: type of schemes, and it worked out well for them.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 1: They're off its line obviously. Seemed like they play played
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 1: a whole lot better. Cam Skataboo r I p the
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 1: boy dude like the heart and soul of the giants,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 1: like I don't want to We're not gonna be massive takes.
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 1: But the giants are dead like they're they're not. It's
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 1: over for them.
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 4: I saw the I just saw the group chats firing up.
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: I saw you know, Clump, He's like eagles are bags,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: say kwan, YadA YadA. Then I see the cam Skataboo
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 4: post and it's like, dude, take my leg right, take
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 4: from my body.
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 9: Him put his hands up to his teeth like to
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 9: his buddy, like he like with the instinct of like, hey,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 9: help me up, and everyone was like no, man, like,
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 9: we're gonna stay right where we are to get you
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 9: to your help. Like his instinct was like I gotta
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 9: get up. Yeah, he like put his hands up in
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 9: the air for someone to like lift them off the ground.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 9: I think his teammates were like, sorry, brother, but yeah,
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 9: there's an have to kind.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: Of Yeah, if you're seeing what I'm seeing, you're gonna.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: There's always at once one offensive lineman that's like, please
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 1: don't get him out of here, because everyone it's all. Dude,
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 1: when you see that, I'm sure you've seen it during
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: a game when you were playing, Like, dude, it is
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: mentally torturous. I mean you hate it for that who
• 1:17:13
  Speaker 1: what happens to the guy? But the next five or
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 1: six plays, if you're able to sustain a drive is
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 1: like everyone, even the defense is like, hey, let's all
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 1: kind of look out for each other a little bit,
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 1: isn't it weird? Like a weird little like we got
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: to make sure everyone's good here.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: We can really get fucked up in this game.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we do. We were playing the Dolphins.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 9: Doesn't matter if your teammate the other team, for a
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 9: moment there. It doesn't matter what team it is, it's
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 9: just everyone is having a collective like this is awful.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we were playing the Panthers and one of it,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 1: it was late in the game, y'all were blowing us
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 1: out and I was playing against Jared Allen and one
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 1: of the receivers went off from the corner of the
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 1: sideline had like an inkle dislocation. Jared and I kind
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 1: of sat there the next three plays. He's like, I'll
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 1: tell you if someone's behind you, and I was like, bro,
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 1: thank you. So we got hemmed up, and there was
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 1: one play we got hemmed up and he kind of
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: stonewalled me a little bit, goes and we kind of
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 1: like shifted together for a little bit. It's like that
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 1: is really the mental thing for everybody if that as
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: like once you see everything, you know, the health issues,
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 1: it's crazy because good news is it looked like a
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 1: straight up just a dislocation because it was right there
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 1: at the bottom of that bone middle hit his leg,
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 1: like the middle of his leg was facing the wrong way.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 1: But yeah, that's that's the heart and soul of the Giants.
• 1:18:25
  Speaker 1: I think Dabile saves it saved his job for sure,
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 1: seeing this this boost of energy, and he should keep
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 1: his job. But uh, that was tough. The Eagles, however,
• 1:18:35
  Speaker 1: the Eagles are for real. Now they're for real.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 9: I called so, I mean their ability offensively. I always
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 9: thought defensively they'd find their way. I think Fangio's really good.
• 1:18:43
  Speaker 9: I think they had some issues on the edge that
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 9: they're still trying to work through. But I think defensively
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 9: they were always going to end up being good and
• 1:18:49
  Speaker 9: figuring it out. I know they had a couple of
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 9: games here and there, obviously the Giants game being the
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 9: one couple of weeks ago. But offensively, I saw them
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 9: at I saw them against Minnesota last week, and Hurts
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 9: played probably the best game that we've seen him play
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 9: in a really long time. I mean, he was pushing
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 9: the ball downfield, he was accurate, he was buying time
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 9: with his legs like Saquon in the run game was
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 9: a pretty non factor against the Vikings and Janalen Hurts
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 9: was awesome. And now this week Saquon gets off, he
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 9: goes for one point fifty, getting back to those early
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 9: explosive runs for touchdowns that really powered their Super Bowl
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 9: run last year, where he's running for sixty and seventy
• 1:19:28
  Speaker 9: yard touchdowns. The defense has taking the ball away. Now
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 9: you get hurts in the passing game back going thrown
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 9: for four They're never going to be a consistently high
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 9: volume passing game from a sense of like pure yardage.
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 9: They'll pop off every now and then. Obviously he did
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 9: against Minnesota, but four touchdowns, I don't even think he threw.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 9: Did he throw for over two hundred yards? I don't
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 9: think he did.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 2: No, he threw for a one seventy nine.
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, shit, But obviously you get Saquon. They've always been
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 9: I've always said they're the hardest beat in the league
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 9: because they can beat you in so many different ways. Defensively,
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 9: they can take the ball away, they've got fourth down,
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 9: they can pass, throw skill roster like I just I
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 9: don't know why people are so quick to jump off
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 9: their bandwagon. It seems like every year and then it's
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 9: just by the end of the year, they're the team
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 9: to beat in the NFC for all those different factors.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 4: You think they're the team to beat in the NFC
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 4: because I feel you like Eagles. To me, I'm not
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 4: willing to say. I'm not convinced enough to say that
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 4: they're back, that they're the team to beat.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 9: Because who's the team to beat in the NFC?
• 1:20:31
  Speaker 1: In your mind, I think it's the Lions.
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 2: I think the Lions. Lions are playing good. You got
• 1:20:37
  Speaker 2: the Lions, You've got the Packers.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: You know, I'm not sold in the Packers.
• 1:20:41
  Speaker 2: I'm not.
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 9: I like the Packers Seattle to the Rams. I think, Yeah,
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 9: I had the I had the Rams Philly game. Uh
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 9: week I don't know, God, I can't remember now, like
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 9: week two or three. Yeah, and the first half of
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 9: the game they couldn't score a touchdown. It was a
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 9: red zone field goal contest. And then Jalen Hurts came
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 9: to life in the second half with AJ Brown and
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 9: they came back and won. And that's when Jordan Davis
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 9: blocked that field goal and took it back as the wall.
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 9: You know, not a walk off, but like the last
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 9: play of the game, I feel it. Yeah, I think
• 1:21:17
  Speaker 9: all those teams are good. I think the Philly. Philly
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 9: just has that pedigree right now. Right They're used to winning,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 9: They're used to winning those close games. They can they
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 9: could play a lot of different formulas. If their offense
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 9: isn't great, they can get picked up defensively if Jalen's
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 9: having a bad day, Saquon, if Saquon can't get rolling.
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 9: They got the receivers, and like the offensive line, can
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 9: they stay healthy and get healthy? And now Dickerson, like
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 9: they got I think the best tackle combo in the league, Tyler.
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 9: I love your perspective, Like I think Lane and my
• 1:21:48
  Speaker 9: Lotta are the best combination to duo in the league. Like,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 9: they just got so many different things they can hang
• 1:21:54
  Speaker 9: their hat on. They don't have to play perfectly to win.
• 1:21:58
  Speaker 9: I think we've seen that over the last two years.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 9: Those teams seem to do well in those one, you know, winner,
• 1:22:04
  Speaker 9: you're out kind of situations. They're not best of five series.
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 9: You got to win one game, and they're really tough
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 9: to beat.
• 1:22:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when it comes to the tackles, I haven't been
• 1:22:14
  Speaker 1: able to watch him break down this film just yet,
• 1:22:15
  Speaker 1: so I'll save my opinion on this on this pass game.
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: But the couple weeks prior to that, with the offensive line,
• 1:22:21
  Speaker 1: when it came to the run game, it was like
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: one guy here or there, and especially during the vikings,
• 1:22:25
  Speaker 1: like my Alata had himself a couple of times being
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 1: at the point of the run game. He was having
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 1: a very difficult time guys going inside, moving around like
• 1:22:34
  Speaker 1: he wasn't moving his feet very consistently, and then laying
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 1: on the backside of a lot of plays. He was
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 1: kind of he wasn't getting that cut off the way
• 1:22:41
  Speaker 1: you usually see him. He had to go get savvy,
• 1:22:43
  Speaker 1: get a couple of those reach around blocks. The duo
• 1:22:46
  Speaker 1: to me right now that is like number one in
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: the NFL is Pina Suwel and Taylor Decker. And that's
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: kind of what keeps me leaning towards the Lions is
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 1: they had a tough game a couple of weeks ago
• 1:22:55
  Speaker 1: against the Chiefs. It was last week or two weeks ago,
• 1:22:58
  Speaker 1: but from a defensive stand point, now was a couple
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: weeks ago because they played the Buccaneers right last week
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 1: played the Bucks and they had every single guy and
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 1: their defensive secondary, their starters were out and their secondary played,
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: and they pretty much shut down Baker Mayfield and their
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 1: and their offensive the wide receivers. And I just think
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: something about that under center Jared Goff throwing on time
• 1:23:21
  Speaker 1: play action pass like with both those running backs. That team,
• 1:23:24
  Speaker 1: to me, along with their culture when things don't go
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: their way. They don't waiver. That is a team that
• 1:23:30
  Speaker 1: I can see winning it all, or let the very
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: least winning the NFC and making to the Zuer Bowl
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: this year. When it comes to Eagles, it's like you
• 1:23:36
  Speaker 1: see it, you see it here and there, like, Okay,
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 1: the run game wasn't great, but the defense stepped up.
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts has a game a couple of weeks ago,
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 1: and then this is this is the first week I've
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 1: seen it where it's like, Okay, this looks like a
• 1:23:47
  Speaker 1: championship caliber team. Now we have to see it more
• 1:23:49
  Speaker 1: consistently for it all get done. But it just seems
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 1: like one or two things here and there. I think
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 1: after after seeing this game, Lions.
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 2: Got the run game.
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 4: They got, they got the play calling, They got a
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 4: quarterback that can win you this See Bowl. They got
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: they can take you through the air, on the ground.
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: Their defense is very salty. Their front seven h Hutchinson.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 4: And then we'll just get after your ask him. Does
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: Hutchinson lead the league in uh in pressures?
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 1: I think he No. I think Garrett leads the league
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: and pressure or Benito leads the league pressures. Hudginson has
• 1:24:17
  Speaker 1: had a sacking of pressure in every single game.
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 2: Dude, he gets after people.
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 4: It's just the backs, like the way the decordinator Kelvin
• 1:24:24
  Speaker 4: Sheppard has those guys playing, especially when you have a
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: full backup squad in there in the secondary. I just
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 4: feel like they're the more complete team. That looks like
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 4: an operation in a machine. They did drop against the Chiefs,
• 1:24:37
  Speaker 4: but that game the Chiefs had against the Lions, like
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: that was that was potentially a preview of the Super Bowl.
• 1:24:42
  Speaker 9: Like though, that was a that was a heavy right,
• 1:24:45
  Speaker 9: And I agree with everything you guys are saying. It's
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 9: probably fair. You know, I wouldn't disagree if they ended
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 9: up winning the NFC and going to Super Bowl, I
• 1:24:51
  Speaker 9: wouldn't be shocked. Here's what I will say, though, you
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 9: start looking at Okay, what you know, it's early, we're
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 9: doing like the whole playoff projection thing. But do you
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 9: think it's a four conclusion that the Detroit Lions win
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 9: the division?
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 1: I know you're going with this, and the answer is no,
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 1: because the Packers are still in that division.
• 1:25:07
  Speaker 9: You think it's a foregone conclusion. Can you see a
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 9: scenario that that the Eagles don't win the NFC East?
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: No? Correct? I see.
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you're seeing, you're saying, you're talking to go home,
• 1:25:22
  Speaker 4: And I think that's all the best teams don't always
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: make the biggest runs, right, Like, there's so many factors.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 9: There's a luck, there's we just got done talking about
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 9: how your your division can stink or you can do.
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 9: You know, last year, the Minnesota Vikings win fourteen games
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 9: and they got to go They're not even the division winner,
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 9: they're a wild card team because because the division was
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 9: so good. Like, there's a lot of factors that go
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 9: into all of this, and that literally could be the
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 9: deciding factor. Detroit could be better than Philly, but all
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 9: of a sudden, that game's in Philly and it's cold,
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 9: and it's the home field advantage, and it's one of one.
• 1:25:58
  Speaker 9: You don't get to play a home and away. It's
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 9: not baseball, right Like, you're not getting Oh don't worry,
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 9: we'll we'll get to their place and then we get
• 1:26:05
  Speaker 9: to come back home to Detroit in the Dome. Like
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 9: that's sometimes the luck of the draw. So I think
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 9: there's a lot of factors on how it all plays out.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 9: But yeah, you're probably right, those are probably the two
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 9: clear cut, maybe not clear cut, but those are probably
• 1:26:18
  Speaker 9: the two leaders in the clubhouse. I still think the
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 9: Rams are really good.
• 1:26:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think.
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 9: Defensively they're nasty. I think Stafford's awesome. They got to
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 9: get Pooka back. Outside of that, I think there's a
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 9: lot of one dimensional NFC teams that have different areas
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 9: that they're good, but just don't have the whole package
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 9: to see them right now making a big run.
• 1:26:38
  Speaker 1: Right, Okay, behold on, what about what about Seattle? What
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 1: about Tampa? Like those are two teams to.
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 9: Me, I just fear that Tampa's lost too much juice.
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 2: I do too. I agree with you.
• 1:26:48
  Speaker 9: I agree with you, like Baker's incredible, whether in the
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 9: storm has been incredible. I just think at some point
• 1:26:56
  Speaker 9: you can only weather losing. So we saw it happened
• 1:26:59
  Speaker 9: to Detroit last year, right, It was like, oh man,
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 9: Detroit can lose anyone and they just keep playing. They're
• 1:27:04
  Speaker 9: so good on defense. Well, at some point as good
• 1:27:07
  Speaker 9: of a coach as Todd Bowles is as good of
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 9: a coach as Dan Campbell was last year, and Aaron
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 9: Glenn the decordinator trying to figure out ways to play
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 9: without their best players like the NFL man as the
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 9: when the playoffs come and all the bad teams have
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 9: been sent home and we're only left with the top dogs,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 9: Eventually it catches up to you. That's what concerns me
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 9: about Tampa.
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 1: That's a that's an extremely fair good news.
• 1:27:34
  Speaker 4: For Tampa though, is they're in a division that's you
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 4: got to say gone, you will be in the playoffs.
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 9: Their division is brutal, but you're.
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 1: Right when it gets to the cream of the crop.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: Every like all the bad teams have out now they're
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 1: all in Tombo, Sat Lucas or ken Kun for the week.
• 1:27:49
  Speaker 1: These teams like Tampa's probably gonna have to go to
• 1:27:52
  Speaker 1: these plays, these cold weather places during the playoffs and
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 1: can they stand up? Can they keep this level consistency
• 1:27:57
  Speaker 1: with Baker for the whole entire year. So yeah, it's
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 1: a great point. Seattle though, same.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 9: I think he's defense now.
• 1:28:03
  Speaker 1: I think they're solid. Yeah, the one game there, one
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 1: game solid. I wish Kenneth Walker would be more more
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 1: north and south guy, I can't stand the east and
• 1:28:12
  Speaker 1: west movement.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 9: That's a bouncer.
• 1:28:13
  Speaker 1: He's a bouncer and it's awesome because it's it's home
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 1: run hitting. But also you live by the Stordy diebus
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 1: or there's a lot more TfL as in come than
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 1: home runs.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 9: So yeah, I like I like Seattle a lot. I
• 1:28:25
  Speaker 9: had them. I had them early in the year and
• 1:28:28
  Speaker 9: they were still trying to you know, Kubiak, the new
• 1:28:30
  Speaker 9: OC they were trying to get I actually had them
• 1:28:32
  Speaker 9: week one. I had them week one against San Francisco.
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 9: Sometimes all these games like blend together. I can't remember
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 9: who I call when where. Yeah, I had them week one.
• 1:28:41
  Speaker 9: So obviously, first game of Donald, first game of Kubiak.
• 1:28:44
  Speaker 9: I like McDonald, I like the head coach. That's a
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 9: tough place. I mean, we've all played there. That is
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 9: a nightmare place to play on the road, let alone
• 1:28:53
  Speaker 9: in a playoff game. So can they win the NFC West.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 4: Which similar situation with Lions Pack Like Rams and Seattle
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 4: is gonna be fighting there till the end.
• 1:29:03
  Speaker 9: And they're gonna be fighting Niners again. I just injuries Shanahan.
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 9: I think Shanahan and Robert Sala have done a remarkable job.
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 9: I just it might be the best coaching job of
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 9: Shanahan's career. And Robert Sala is going to probably get
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 9: a head job again because of what he's done. But
• 1:29:22
  Speaker 9: you can only weather losing these guys for so long,
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 9: Like you're not getting Fred back. Yeah, he's arguably by
• 1:29:30
  Speaker 9: the best. Like you're not getting them back. Hopefully they
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 9: get pretty back. And they finally got Kiddle back after
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 9: missing the first five games, and like it's just the
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 9: injuries in San Francisco. You just scratch your head and say,
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 9: like how long can you weather this? And can you
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 9: get enough of these guys back early enough that you're
• 1:29:47
  Speaker 9: still in contention that even if Seattle runs, even if
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 9: you know, even if Seattle and and the Rams run
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 9: away with the division, but like, can you stay afloat?
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 9: Can you get a can you get three teams from
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 9: one division in the playoffs? We've seen it, It happens,
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 9: But it's you got to get you got to get
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 9: your guys back before you know you're in the final
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 9: stretch of the season.
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 1: No, yeah, that's a good point. You were definitely getting
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 1: to the point of the season where all the fun
• 1:30:13
  Speaker 1: storylines of injured teams that are still rallying through. It
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 1: seems like that might be coming to an end at
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 1: this point, Like you can only you're right, You're you're
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: absolutely right when you say you can only do it
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 1: for so long.
• 1:30:23
  Speaker 9: And again, a lot of the teams that seem like
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 9: they're weathering the storm and the teams that don't handle
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 9: injury loss as well. Some of it's internal, right, some
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 9: of it's just roster depth, roster construction, the ability of
• 1:30:37
  Speaker 9: a play caller to mask injuries, to o line or
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 9: you know, whatever it is. But there's also an element
• 1:30:42
  Speaker 9: of like, can you get lucky in the game that
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 9: you don't have your starting quarterback, or you don't have
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 9: your starting left tackle, or you lose mike backer for
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 9: two weeks and you play into a stretch of games
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 9: against a bunch of teams that just aren't very good. Yeah, right,
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 9: so there there, and some teams you're like, all right,
• 1:30:57
  Speaker 9: I just lost my three best players, and now I
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 9: got to go play the Chiefs, and now I got
• 1:31:01
  Speaker 9: to go play the Bills, and you got to go
• 1:31:03
  Speaker 9: play some of these, you know, high level teams. So
• 1:31:06
  Speaker 9: there's so much luck and randomness to the NFL. I
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 9: think that's what makes it so fun. You know, some
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 9: years your schedule is incredibly difficult. In other years, your
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 9: schedule is really easy. I think that's part of that's
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 9: why the regular season I don't always think is the
• 1:31:21
  Speaker 9: greatest predictor of playoffs success because, as we've said, now,
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 9: like when all the bad teams get sent home, typically
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 9: everybody in the playoffs has a good offense. You're not
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 9: in the playoffs if you're not scoring points. And then
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 9: the defense now becomes the X factor of what now
• 1:31:38
  Speaker 9: is the next differentiator between advancing or just being happy
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 9: that you made the playoffs.
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then late October two, like we're getting into
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 4: November football, like teams are gonna start hitting their hitting
• 1:31:49
  Speaker 4: their stride a little bit and seeing what their identity
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 4: is rolling into the playoffs. Because again it's like you
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 4: look at all these scores over the weekend, like pretty
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 4: one sided.
• 1:31:55
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, it honestly is a perfect transition to the
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 1: Denver Broncos and the Cowboys, because, Buddy, the Cowboys are
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 1: the Broncos defense is incredible. Bo Nicks just getting better.
• 1:32:08
  Speaker 1: They start slow. They started slow in this game, but
• 1:32:10
  Speaker 1: it ended up being their best first quarter they've had. Buddy,
• 1:32:15
  Speaker 1: I feel like I transferred high schools and I see
• 1:32:17
  Speaker 1: the pretty girl, the hot cheerleader, and the hot chee
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 1: lader is the Dallas Cowboys.
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 2: I see them.
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 1: You know, I look kind of nice. Everyone's like, you
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 1: gotta watch out for her. Rumor has it she's a
• 1:32:26
  Speaker 1: little bit like the town bicycle a little bit. And
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 1: I'm like, no, dude, this one seems a little different.
• 1:32:30
  Speaker 1: So I go on a date. We said girl this week. Yeah,
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 1: she's turning a page, like this maturity involved different with me.
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah with me.
• 1:32:37
  Speaker 1: I go and I hitch my my name to the
• 1:32:40
  Speaker 1: wagon of Cowboys fandom for one week. And I literally
• 1:32:44
  Speaker 1: got there. I got on the bird yesterday and I
• 1:32:45
  Speaker 1: sat there and I was like, I I my heart
• 1:32:47
  Speaker 1: goes out to all you cowboy fans who got to
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 1: feel this like life of luxury in the nineties and
• 1:32:51
  Speaker 1: eighties or whatever it was, and now you for the
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 1: last twenty five years you've had to deal with this.
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 1: Because I walked into that Broncos game. Haven't won their
• 1:33:00
  Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, all those things, and I'm like, defense
• 1:33:02
  Speaker 1: looked really good against the Commanders. This is the number
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 1: one scoring offense in the entire league. Like, maybe we're
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 1: flipping the strip. Maybe I'm buying this stock low. Who
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 1: would have known it was a two thousand and eight
• 1:33:11
  Speaker 1: market crash because it was hard, horrendous I bought it.
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 9: I say, when you say jumped on the bandwagon, you
• 1:33:17
  Speaker 9: mean you put some action on it.
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 1: No, I actually didn't. I actually did not. I I
• 1:33:25
  Speaker 1: to the bandwagon publicly. I was publicly being like, the
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 1: Cowboys can really get this.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And all the shows Taylor was heavy.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 4: Taylor was like, you know what, I'm buying the cow
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 4: I'm buying the Cowboys.
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 9: Dude.
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 1: Schottenheimer his play calling on offense, the run game will like,
• 1:33:40
  Speaker 1: he's what I think he's number two in the league
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 1: in rushing. You got yeah, yeah, pick in ceedee lamb.
• 1:33:47
  Speaker 1: It's like, how are you stopping them? Fun fact that
• 1:33:50
  Speaker 1: broncos knew exactly how to stop them? Like it was
• 1:33:53
  Speaker 1: extremely it was, man, probably it was so impressive to see.
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 1: And the first drive, bow Nicks does a pick and
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking I did it. I finally cracked a code
• 1:34:01
  Speaker 1: on how this works. Man, I'm the man tweet out.
• 1:34:04
  Speaker 1: Maybe I was right that type of thing. We go down,
• 1:34:07
  Speaker 1: they get three score score.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 9: Sez takes then just bit where yeah, oh you're.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 1: Looking at it. You're just like, why did I dude?
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: It was brutal, but yeah.
• 1:34:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, And again obviously the week prior Denver has the
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 9: getting blown out nineteen nothing and they score thirty three
• 1:34:28
  Speaker 9: in the fourth against the Giants, And that game was
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 9: obviously hotly debated about end of game strategy and the
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 9: clock and whatever. But like, I don't know if anyone
• 1:34:38
  Speaker 9: came out of that Denver game against the Giants saying, like,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 9: oh man, these guys are for They had an incredible
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 9: comeback and almost felt more of like a Giant's meltdown
• 1:34:46
  Speaker 9: than it did. Again, you score thirty three in the fourth,
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 9: you deserve a lot of credit. But like the Giants
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 9: certainly didn't help themselves closing that game in the fourth
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 9: quarter with some of the things they did on both
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 9: sides of the ball. The problem with Dallas, and we
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 9: cover a ton of Dallas games, is like and another
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 9: offense wasn't great yesterday, and partly was the Broncos defense,
• 1:35:06
  Speaker 9: But their offense week in and week out, especially now
• 1:35:10
  Speaker 9: with CD back going with pickings like that offense can
• 1:35:13
  Speaker 9: let you up for thirty in a minute, like they
• 1:35:15
  Speaker 9: have been putting thirty on people. They've been scoring. Dak's
• 1:35:18
  Speaker 9: been really good. They're historically bad on defense, and I
• 1:35:23
  Speaker 9: think at some point for a play caller who's also
• 1:35:27
  Speaker 9: the head coach, and you're trying to match sides of
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 9: the ball, and you're trying to come up with the
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 9: script for the week to say, Okay, how are we
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 9: going to win this game? When you have to go
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 9: into every game and you just have to assume it's
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 9: going to take thirty to win, it is filtered into
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 9: every decision that you make, and from every first down
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 9: play call to every It is so hard mentally to
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 9: go into the game and say, every time we kick
• 1:35:52
  Speaker 9: a field goal, and every time if we have to punter,
• 1:35:55
  Speaker 9: god forbid dak throws an interception, the game's probably over.
• 1:36:00
  Speaker 9: Like that is really really challenging and so terriful Dallas
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 9: can figure out how to keep people from scoring a
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 9: million points. I think that's gonna weigh down the Dallas offense,
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 9: for as good as they are. I just it's it's
• 1:36:15
  Speaker 9: virtually impossible over long periods of time to operate in
• 1:36:19
  Speaker 9: that head space where if we don't score on every possession,
• 1:36:23
  Speaker 9: we're gonna lose.
• 1:36:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're absolutely right, Yeah, I mean that is that's
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 4: that is well said.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 1: And I know we're playing Monday quarterback, but it's like
• 1:36:31
  Speaker 1: you saying that I'm thinking to myself, how do I
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 1: not see that the entire time.
• 1:36:35
  Speaker 9: No, I've been high. I I know the last couple
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 9: of weeks. Maybe he's cooled off, but I think I
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 9: said on I can't remember what show I said it on,
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 9: But like, people like, all right, who do you think's
• 1:36:44
  Speaker 9: in the MVP conversation through week five? You know, all
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 9: this stuff that me and you talk that we don't
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 9: love doing. But I got asked and you know, you mentioned,
• 1:36:51
  Speaker 9: you know, the usual suspects and then kind of the
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 9: new cast of guys we touched on with Drake may
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 9: And and Daniel Jones and whatnot. But I'm like, hey,
• 1:36:58
  Speaker 9: Dak's playing as good a courquarterback as anybody in the league.
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 5: Is.
• 1:37:02
  Speaker 9: The problem is at the time, I think they only
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 9: had one or two wins. You know, his defense is
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 9: historically bad, but as far as just playing the most
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 9: important position at a high level, Dak is in that conversation.
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 9: So I've been high on Dallas for years because I've
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 9: seen the potential there offensively when Dak's in the game,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 9: it's just they can't seem to recapture any of the
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 9: magic they had on defense. And you don't have to
• 1:37:26
  Speaker 9: be a killer defensively, to be good in the regular
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 9: season in today's NFL, especially if your offense is scoring
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 9: thirty you just can't be the worst. And that's you know,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 9: they just need to somehow get to like middle of
• 1:37:39
  Speaker 9: the road with a top five offense, you're gonna win
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 9: a lot of games in the NFL.
• 1:37:43
  Speaker 1: You're absolutely right if you if you can just tag
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 1: the Cowboys defense with the word mediocre, yeah, just be average, yep,
• 1:37:51
  Speaker 1: then they would be.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 9: Even just now you're not gonna win the Super Bowl.
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but maybe below average. Yeah, it's not the worst.
• 1:37:59
  Speaker 1: You could actually be the worst, just not historically the worst.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 1: Like you could even take on the title of yeah,
• 1:38:04
  Speaker 1: they're thirty second, but they're not we're.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 9: Points per in points per game because I haven't had
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 9: Dallas in the last couple of weeks in points per game,
• 1:38:13
  Speaker 9: Dallas was like two within a couple of weeks. So
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 9: where where are they now? Is the dust settled through
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 9: this past weekend's game?
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 5: Is it?
• 1:38:22
  Speaker 9: Can your guys look better?
• 1:38:23
  Speaker 1: The Cowboys are I think are scoring thirty one, just
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 1: over thirty one points per game the Cowboys, which is
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 1: what I think it was like one. I think it
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 1: was one. I think they were.
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 9: Number one, So they're one, and defensively, I want to
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 9: say they're thirty first or thirty second.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 1: They're thirty second, and they're giving up like thirty two
• 1:38:39
  Speaker 1: or thirty three game.
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 4: Right now, here's where they stand. They are third in
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 4: the league with thirty and a half points per game,
• 1:38:46
  Speaker 4: thirty first in the league defensively given up thirty one
• 1:38:49
  Speaker 4: point three points per game.
• 1:38:50
  Speaker 1: So even on average they're giving up what's.
• 1:38:53
  Speaker 9: The twentieth what's the twentieth best defense in points per game?
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 9: Will what's the what's twentieth twentieth? How many points?
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 4: Let me see here ahead, give me a second, because
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 4: I was clicking on the team.
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I just didn't know if there was like a
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 9: list and you could just see like the difference between
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 9: thirty first and twentieth.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 1: But yeah, just be bottom half.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 9: That's my point, Like, you don't even need to be
• 1:39:16
  Speaker 9: you're scoring thirty one a game and thirty and a
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 9: half a game.
• 1:39:20
  Speaker 1: I'm so curious.
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 4: Twenty fifth is Chicago twenty six? How many twenty six
• 1:39:26
  Speaker 4: point four?
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 9: Yeah, score thirty one. You can win thirty one twenty six.
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 9: The math works.
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 1: The math. The math maths there. Yeah, yeah, this is
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 1: not a question for you to answer because it's like
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 1: puts you in a position. But this is me being
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 1: curious that maybe people can comment on, like what is
• 1:39:43
  Speaker 1: the problem there with the Cowboys defense? Is it ebra
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 1: flufs and his play calling or is he doesn't have
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 1: the horses. I know they've got a couple of injuries,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 1: but there's no way Micah Parsons changes the defense of
• 1:39:55
  Speaker 1: that much. There's no way.
• 1:39:57
  Speaker 2: There's still towards the bottom. I feel like last year.
• 1:39:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they weren't great last year.
• 1:40:01
  Speaker 9: It's a this is just my observation, So people can
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 9: take a what they want. But I'm happy to ask
• 1:40:07
  Speaker 9: the question because I actually think it's bigger than just
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 9: this sample size of you know, whether they played seven games,
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 9: eight games.
• 1:40:14
  Speaker 5: Whatever it is.
• 1:40:16
  Speaker 9: You go back to the you go back to the
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 9: twenty twenty three season when they obviously get upset at home.
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 9: They have an incredible, incredible season. Dak's a potential MVP,
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 9: Michael Parsons potent, you know, defensive Player of the Year type,
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 9: like that twenty three season that came to a screeching
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 9: hal they get upset against Green Bay at home in
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 9: the UH in the playoffs. You go back to that
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 9: team and you said, Okay, what made them so good? Obviously,
• 1:40:42
  Speaker 9: dan Quinn's the defensive coordinator. You're scoring thirty a game,
• 1:40:46
  Speaker 9: Mike McCarthy, Dak's planing out of his mind. CD, you're
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 9: really good offensively. So how did they build that defense.
• 1:40:53
  Speaker 9: They've got Deron Bland getting record setting pick sixes. They
• 1:40:56
  Speaker 9: got Treyvon Diggs record setting interceptions ballhawk. They've got Micah
• 1:41:01
  Speaker 9: Parsons and DeMarcus Lawrence and oh soo Digie Zua, and
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 9: they've got light bodies that rush the passer. They play
• 1:41:09
  Speaker 9: a lot of man coverage, sticky coverage, and they're playing
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 9: with a lead for so much of the game that
• 1:41:16
  Speaker 9: you might get me here and there. Diggs gives up
• 1:41:18
  Speaker 9: a long completion, Bland gets beat a long. You know,
• 1:41:21
  Speaker 9: their run defense was always crappy, but it didn't matter
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 9: because they're scoring a million points. That they built the
• 1:41:27
  Speaker 9: defense with dan Quinn to defend the pass and defend
• 1:41:30
  Speaker 9: the lead. So all of a sudden, at the end
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 9: of the game, Micah Parsons stripped sack fumble games over,
• 1:41:35
  Speaker 9: blanded digs pick six games over. That was what they
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 9: bought into and that formula works. They paid Bland a million,
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 9: bazillion dollars. They played Digs at bazillion dollars. Now you
• 1:41:46
  Speaker 9: look over last year, they're injured, they're not playing right.
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 9: They lose Micah for a part of the season, and
• 1:41:52
  Speaker 9: then he comes back. Then they lose Dak and all
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 9: of a sudden, this past defending man coverage pass rush
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 9: that they had built to compliment this high scoring offense.
• 1:42:03
  Speaker 9: The offense goes to the bottom of the league. They struggle,
• 1:42:06
  Speaker 9: they can't score. They turn into a very ball control
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 9: running back ric o'dowell who's now having a career year
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 9: in Carolina. He becomes a thousand yard rusher in Dallas
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 9: because they just have to lean into the run game
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 9: to just stay remotely competitive. But as we said earlier,
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 9: all of a sudden, that style now of low scoring
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 9: blood bats doesn't match what we do well on defense, right,
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 9: so everyone gets fired and they start all over. I
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 9: don't think they've now from a personnel standpoint, DeMarcus Lawrence gone,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 9: Micah Parson's gone. Digs in Bland aren't picked six and
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 9: guys five six times a year. They're not having an
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 9: interception per game, they're not getting all the splash negatives
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 9: that they really made a living on, even though now
• 1:42:50
  Speaker 9: their offense is back to that. So it's really been
• 1:42:53
  Speaker 9: like a two and a half three year journey of
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 9: when they had both sides of the ball matched. Man,
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 9: they were as good as anybody in the league. They
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 9: lose the Green Bay and in the playoffs all help
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 9: breaks loose. Last year's a dumpster fire of injuries. They
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 9: fire Mike McCarthy, and now they're trying to kind of
• 1:43:09
  Speaker 9: start back over. They haven't been able to use any
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 9: of the draft picks they got for Micah, So those
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 9: trades with the exception of of Kenny Clark.
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Clark, you know you lost.
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 9: You lost Micah. You haven't gotten the future picks yet.
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 9: And I just don't think they have the defensive roster
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 9: to be that good.
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: Well said, that was honestly a great breakdown.
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the.
• 1:43:33
  Speaker 9: Two and a half years is short. I'm a long
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 9: winded guy. That's two and a half years of watching them.
• 1:43:38
  Speaker 9: That's as quick as I can make it.
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, dude.
• 1:43:41
  Speaker 4: I mean, as far as seeing the entire field and
• 1:43:43
  Speaker 4: understanding what your offense does the teams, here's that We're
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 4: gonna have to build the defense. Here's the philosophy that
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 4: goes with this defense.
• 1:43:48
  Speaker 2: Takeaway's pass rush, this scheme that kind of goes with
• 1:43:51
  Speaker 2: those guys. How it's kind of falling apart over the
• 1:43:53
  Speaker 2: last couple of years.
• 1:43:54
  Speaker 4: Guys have been injured when you know, it's like even
• 1:44:00
  Speaker 4: Diggs was out for a little bit last year as well. No,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 4: those are those are great points. I do think it's
• 1:44:05
  Speaker 4: a massive combination of a lot of it and it's
• 1:44:08
  Speaker 4: not Unfortunately, it's not going to get better this year.
• 1:44:11
  Speaker 1: No, it's not going to get better this year. And
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 1: it really reminds you of a Peyton Manning's Colt Run
• 1:44:15
  Speaker 1: Colts run team where you play on the turf, you
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 1: have two edge rushers that can rush the passer. The
• 1:44:20
  Speaker 1: team is built to play from the lead, and when
• 1:44:22
  Speaker 1: you don't have those key pieces, you don't have the
• 1:44:24
  Speaker 1: lead there for your team is in a precarious spot.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 1: So yeah, no, that was a fantastic breakdown. And it
• 1:44:31
  Speaker 1: also goes to show how short sighted we can all
• 1:44:35
  Speaker 1: be as the viewer of seeing like game by game
• 1:44:37
  Speaker 1: basis or even just like this year sample size and
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 1: taking it as like this is the reason why. A
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 1: lot of times you have to pull back the curtain
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 1: a little bit, see a couple of years back and
• 1:44:45
  Speaker 1: be like, this is how we got here, how do
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 1: we get back to there? And so, yeah, it was
• 1:44:49
  Speaker 1: a fantastic breakdown. Greg we good.
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 9: I appreciate it. My assumption would be, if you're Dallas,
• 1:44:57
  Speaker 9: all these picks that you have coming up, you just
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 9: double quadruple, triple, quinn tup whatever all then and you
• 1:45:04
  Speaker 9: just go defense, defense, defense, defense. They've got all those
• 1:45:07
  Speaker 9: first round picks on the offensive line, they got to
• 1:45:09
  Speaker 9: figure out how they're going to resign George Pickens. I
• 1:45:11
  Speaker 9: think that could be a tricky situation when that time comes,
• 1:45:15
  Speaker 9: because obviously he's not yet on that big deal when
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 9: they traded for him from Pittsburgh. But I think offensively,
• 1:45:22
  Speaker 9: I think from a personnel standpoint, they're in really good shape. Ferguson,
• 1:45:26
  Speaker 9: I think they like their backs. I think it's dump
• 1:45:30
  Speaker 9: every resource in the draft. If you have a couple
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 9: bucks left over in free agency, like it needs to
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 9: be defense, defense, defense, and if you hit on those
• 1:45:40
  Speaker 9: draft picks in the next over the next two years,
• 1:45:44
  Speaker 9: you got a shot. The question is it just puts
• 1:45:46
  Speaker 9: a ton of pressure. You got to hit on those picks.
• 1:45:49
  Speaker 1: You get to hit those picks, and you got to
• 1:45:50
  Speaker 1: keep Ceedee Lamb, George Pickens and Dak Prescott Young and
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: it's like, who are those.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 2: No one beats? Father time.
• 1:46:00
  Speaker 1: We're gonna have to let you go. Give Greg random pause.
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: We have Mike Elko coming on next year.
• 1:46:04
  Speaker 4: Greg, Greg next week, I would love to do a
• 1:46:08
  Speaker 4: deep dive into the philosophy of how, like the Running
• 1:46:12
  Speaker 4: Game twelve thirteen personnel, how it's making such a surge
• 1:46:16
  Speaker 4: quarterback under center, because like a decade ago, when teams
• 1:46:20
  Speaker 4: were like in twelve twelve personnel, they're kind of utilizing
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 4: eleven looks. How teams you have to decide if you're
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 4: gonna go base or hey, you know what we're gonna
• 1:46:29
  Speaker 4: call this game Nickel philosophically on defense to where now
• 1:46:33
  Speaker 4: it's like those big bodies and the way the game
• 1:46:35
  Speaker 4: is changing. Kind of back in a circle. I would
• 1:46:38
  Speaker 4: love to do a deep dive and break down.
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 9: I would love nothing more than to do that with you.
• 1:46:42
  Speaker 9: I'll come with some thoughts and some ideas. I love
• 1:46:45
  Speaker 9: those conversations.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 5: Done.
• 1:46:47
  Speaker 2: Okay, perfect, you're the man, Greg, Thank you very much, man, Joco.
• 1:46:50
  Speaker 9: Man, what's up?
• 1:46:51
  Speaker 5: Hey, guys, are.
• 1:46:52
  Speaker 9: You I'm leaving? I'm Greg Olsen by the.
• 1:46:55
  Speaker 5: Way, Yeah, from the Jersey roots.
• 1:46:59
  Speaker 9: I know, I know exactly him. Yeah, you recruited in
• 1:47:02
  Speaker 9: my dad's school, didn't you. Absolutely Now where remind me
• 1:47:06
  Speaker 9: where you were when you recruit I knew you we
• 1:47:07
  Speaker 9: recruiting North Jersey because my dad's told me where were
• 1:47:09
  Speaker 9: you when you were recruiting A.
• 1:47:11
  Speaker 5: Bunch of schools that you won't remember? Fordham Hop of
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 5: course when I was down at the University of Richmond,
• 1:47:17
  Speaker 5: we were up there.
• 1:47:18
  Speaker 9: Yeah, Wayne Hills, Wayne Hills, Yep. My dad tells me
• 1:47:22
  Speaker 9: every time you move you guys on National TV, my
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 9: dad reminds me that he said, hey, he's been a
• 1:47:28
  Speaker 9: hell of a coach now for a long time. He
• 1:47:30
  Speaker 9: used to sit in my office ten fifteen years ago.
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 9: I was like, I know, Dad, you told me every Saturday,
• 1:47:34
  Speaker 9: every Saturday, I'm gonna leave. Good luck, coach. Yeah, you
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 9: guys have been awesome. Man, you're doing a great job.
• 1:47:41
  Speaker 9: Thanks appreciate you.
• 1:47:42
  Speaker 1: Greg.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 2: Yes, Yeah, thanks Greg, your brother.
• 1:47:47
  Speaker 1: That's awesome.
• 1:47:48
  Speaker 2: Good moment you.
• 1:47:49
  Speaker 5: Get two Jersey guys on the show together.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they say, I kinda sat back here and just
• 1:47:53
  Speaker 1: watch you guys talk for the next fifties week. It
• 1:47:56
  Speaker 1: took all the time just listening to.
• 1:47:57
  Speaker 2: You guys break Jersey.
• 1:47:58
  Speaker 4: You can feel uh Greg's dad, mister Olson just be hey,
• 1:48:02
  Speaker 4: that's a hell of a ball, coach.
• 1:48:03
  Speaker 2: He's just sitting in my office.
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: And it's like the first time, You're like, that's pretty
• 1:48:06
  Speaker 1: damn cool, Coach. Oko, he's just sitting in your office.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: And then after like it's like week seven, it's the
• 1:48:10
  Speaker 1: eighth time he said it. It's like, Dad, I know
• 1:48:13
  Speaker 1: he's the man. I got it, Coach. Let's give a coach.
• 1:48:16
  Speaker 1: I'll go a round of applause for being on the bus,
• 1:48:19
  Speaker 1: taking time out of his day. Just got back from
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: putting an ass beating on Baton Rouge Louisiana Lsu. We
• 1:48:25
  Speaker 1: can say that, coach. I'm sure you would not say that.
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 5: I'm sure gonna say I appreciate it coming from you guys,
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 5: though it sounds good.
• 1:48:29
  Speaker 2: I'm not allowed.
• 1:48:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, hard fought game, guys, ended up pulling
• 1:48:34
  Speaker 1: away in that second half. Your quarterback right now, let's
• 1:48:37
  Speaker 1: talk about this cat, Marcel Reid. He's fourth in the
• 1:48:39
  Speaker 1: Heisman running. I'm sure as any coach would be you're
• 1:48:43
  Speaker 1: ignoring that type of noise. So I'm just gonna ask
• 1:48:46
  Speaker 1: you about this court and be like, what is what
• 1:48:48
  Speaker 1: is about him Reid that makes him so great right now?
• 1:48:51
  Speaker 3: For you?
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I think he's really taken the next step this
• 1:48:55
  Speaker 5: year in terms of his ability to beat people both ways,
• 1:48:57
  Speaker 5: and I think that was the big challenge that he
• 1:49:00
  Speaker 5: had coming out of last year. He's a phenomenal athlete.
• 1:49:02
  Speaker 5: I think you saw that Saturday night. What he can
• 1:49:05
  Speaker 5: do when the play breaks down, what he can do
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 5: improvising is at an elite level. I think what he's
• 1:49:11
  Speaker 5: done is he's transitioned himself to where he can also
• 1:49:14
  Speaker 5: beat you in the pocket throwing the football now, and
• 1:49:17
  Speaker 5: I think his ability to do both really put stress
• 1:49:21
  Speaker 5: on a defense. And I think that's been a huge
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 5: part of the offensive success this year is we are
• 1:49:27
  Speaker 5: we're multi dimensional. We have a lot of different ways
• 1:49:29
  Speaker 5: that we can attack people.
• 1:49:31
  Speaker 2: Coach, can you remind me who is number five on
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 2: your team? Defensively? Number five?
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 4: The dude that was barking at the entire offensive line
• 1:49:40
  Speaker 4: was it number five? It might have been a different.
• 1:49:41
  Speaker 5: Number, No, number nine, number now?
• 1:49:44
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, Yeah, you had me puzzled for a second. Yeah,
• 1:49:48
  Speaker 2: that is my fault. That is my fault. I'll scroll
• 1:49:50
  Speaker 2: And I saw a clip.
• 1:49:51
  Speaker 4: I saw this dude barking at basically the entire offensive
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 4: line at LSU.
• 1:49:54
  Speaker 2: What type of juice do you feel like that brings
• 1:49:57
  Speaker 2: to a squad?
• 1:49:58
  Speaker 5: Uh?
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 4: And again I Greg was on and I was kind
• 1:50:01
  Speaker 4: of telling the boys, I'm kind of going at the
• 1:50:03
  Speaker 4: seat of my pants right now. A friend of mine
• 1:50:05
  Speaker 4: had a wedding over the weekend. Absolutely selfish decision on
• 1:50:08
  Speaker 4: his part. I didn't get to watch a whole lot
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 4: of ball. But when I'm watching that clip, like obviously
• 1:50:13
  Speaker 4: you're trying to reel it in and everything else, but internally,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 4: and you know, when you're in the locker room and
• 1:50:17
  Speaker 4: even watching this stuff after the game, what kind of
• 1:50:20
  Speaker 4: juice does that bring to a team when you're putting
• 1:50:22
  Speaker 4: an ass open on somebody.
• 1:50:24
  Speaker 5: No, I think that's the line you want your team
• 1:50:26
  Speaker 5: to walk. You know, you play in the SEC. You
• 1:50:28
  Speaker 5: go into some of these environments at night, you can't
• 1:50:31
  Speaker 5: be timidd you can't be just kind of oh, we're
• 1:50:34
  Speaker 5: just gonna tell the line. Like you have to be
• 1:50:36
  Speaker 5: on an edge. You got to be willing to play
• 1:50:38
  Speaker 5: on an edge, and you got to be willing to
• 1:50:39
  Speaker 5: do things sometimes to give yourself an edge and an opportunity.
• 1:50:43
  Speaker 5: And so that's what we want to do. That's how
• 1:50:45
  Speaker 5: we want to go about it. And obviously that was
• 1:50:48
  Speaker 5: a really really big game for us, and the kids
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 5: were fired up.
• 1:50:51
  Speaker 1: One of the big news stories after this weekend after
• 1:50:55
  Speaker 1: your game against LSU, as Brian Kelly was relieved of
• 1:50:58
  Speaker 1: his duties as the head coach of the LSU Tigers.
• 1:51:02
  Speaker 1: It's such an interesting situation that you're in because you're
• 1:51:06
  Speaker 1: the last coach to play him, you're the last coach
• 1:51:07
  Speaker 1: to beat him, but at one point in time he
• 1:51:09
  Speaker 1: hired you as the DC for Notre Dame, and so
• 1:51:13
  Speaker 1: you can be as long winned as you want in
• 1:51:15
  Speaker 1: this situation. But what is your relationship like with Brian Kelly?
• 1:51:20
  Speaker 1: That game? How it unfolded. I know that a lot
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: of LSU Tigers fans were chanting, and I'm sure you
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: guys have established some sort of relationship since you guys
• 1:51:28
  Speaker 1: have parted ways, whether it's good or bet or and different,
• 1:51:30
  Speaker 1: and I just kind of want to hear your thoughts
• 1:51:32
  Speaker 1: about your relationship with him, and then how that game
• 1:51:35
  Speaker 1: unfolded as they were chanting fire Kelly.
• 1:51:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah, obviously, I have a ton of respect for Brian.
• 1:51:41
  Speaker 5: Brian's the guy that gave me my first opportunity to
• 1:51:43
  Speaker 5: kind of get on the big stage at Notre Dame,
• 1:51:45
  Speaker 5: and at that point, I was a defensive coordinator at
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 5: Wake Forest and he was really the first guy to
• 1:51:50
  Speaker 5: give me that chance, and so I have a ton
• 1:51:52
  Speaker 5: of respect for him. We've got a great professional relationship,
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 5: a lot of mutual respect for each other. You never
• 1:51:58
  Speaker 5: want to see that for anybody. You certainly want to
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 5: don't want to see that to a guy who has
• 1:52:02
  Speaker 5: helped you in your career at some point and the
• 1:52:04
  Speaker 5: guy that you respect. And so I think it's a
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 5: lot of things. I think one, I appreciate him and
• 1:52:09
  Speaker 5: appreciate everything he did for me and my family. But
• 1:52:12
  Speaker 5: also it's probably a quick notice to where this profession is.
• 1:52:16
  Speaker 5: I saw this the other day. I think three of
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 5: the top fifteen teams in the preseason eight people have
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 5: already fired their coach at week eight, and so it's
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 5: crazy a week tweet business more now than it's ever been.
• 1:52:27
  Speaker 5: And you gotta keep your head down, You got to keep.
• 1:52:29
  Speaker 2: Grying Oh yeah. I was gonna say, you gotta just
• 1:52:31
  Speaker 2: keep your head down, yeah, roll because.
• 1:52:33
  Speaker 1: I mean bullets over your head and elchoes just out
• 1:52:37
  Speaker 1: there front of the pack. Ain't no just crawling away
• 1:52:39
  Speaker 1: being like I got it any moment.
• 1:52:41
  Speaker 5: But still trying really hard to not catch any stray.
• 1:52:46
  Speaker 1: It's got to be a terrifying position. You got your
• 1:52:48
  Speaker 1: buddy to your left, in your right getting shot down.
• 1:52:50
  Speaker 1: You're like, we I gotta keep this thing going here.
• 1:52:53
  Speaker 4: You know the buyouts there, you know everybody posting about
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 4: the biots that are happening. It's like, hey, college football,
• 1:52:59
  Speaker 4: the teams want to fucking win, and nobody, nobody, nobody
• 1:53:04
  Speaker 4: is safe. Talk about your relationship with Trev Alberts. Obviously,
• 1:53:07
  Speaker 4: he's he's a friend of the show. I've had him
• 1:53:09
  Speaker 4: on this podcast before. He was a nebrassa guy and
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 4: a linebacker that I admired going through that university. What's
• 1:53:15
  Speaker 4: your relationship been like with him, because he did a
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 4: great job. Your guys' staff, everybody did a phenomenal job
• 1:53:20
  Speaker 4: hosting us last year when we came out to the game.
• 1:53:22
  Speaker 4: I believe it was against Notre Dame. Yeah, but just
• 1:53:25
  Speaker 4: talk about that relationship with Mitch with coach Alberts, Trev
• 1:53:28
  Speaker 4: Alberts and uh yeah, fluff up the boys.
• 1:53:32
  Speaker 5: A great partnership, I think when you're the head football coach,
• 1:53:35
  Speaker 5: but you would love to have as an ad who's
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 5: a former All American and a first round draft pick
• 1:53:40
  Speaker 5: who kind of understands football through the lens of a
• 1:53:43
  Speaker 5: football player. I think that's a really, really good starting point.
• 1:53:46
  Speaker 5: I think there's a lot of similarities in how he
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 5: believes a program should run and how I believe a
• 1:53:51
  Speaker 5: program should run. And then I think we both believe
• 1:53:54
  Speaker 5: in what Texas A and M is capable of. And
• 1:53:56
  Speaker 5: so it's been a really good partnership. I've really enjoyed
• 1:53:58
  Speaker 5: getting to spend time with him and to know them,
• 1:54:00
  Speaker 5: and again, as we try to build this place into,
• 1:54:04
  Speaker 5: you know what everybody on the outside thinks it's capable
• 1:54:06
  Speaker 5: of being. Uh, it's good to be able to do
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 5: that with somebody who knows football the way Trev does.
• 1:54:12
  Speaker 5: And so it's it's been really good.
• 1:54:14
  Speaker 4: Culture wise and standard wise. What do you how do
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 4: you feel like this mentality is shifted because I know,
• 1:54:19
  Speaker 4: just externally watching it from Afar, watching A and M
• 1:54:22
  Speaker 4: fans from Afar, you guys historically been known as like,
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 4: you know, the three loss team that's gonna that eventually comes.
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 4: I feel like everybody's kind of, you know, clutching their
• 1:54:30
  Speaker 4: pearls every week. Now since you guys are undefeated at
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 4: the top of the sec How do you feel like
• 1:54:35
  Speaker 4: that mentality and culture has shifted now being in your
• 1:54:38
  Speaker 4: second year as the head coach for A and M Yeah.
• 1:54:41
  Speaker 5: I just think what we did was we tried to
• 1:54:43
  Speaker 5: instill a little bit more of a blue collar work
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 5: ethic into this place. And I think, you know, one
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 5: of the challenges when you have a place that has
• 1:54:51
  Speaker 5: a lot of really nice things is entitlement starts to
• 1:54:55
  Speaker 5: creep in, and all of a sudden, you start expecting
• 1:54:57
  Speaker 5: things to happen for you and you really don't go
• 1:55:00
  Speaker 5: out and work to make them happen for you. And
• 1:55:02
  Speaker 5: I think that's kind of been our mentality since day one,
• 1:55:04
  Speaker 5: is is we want to make sure that in those
• 1:55:07
  Speaker 5: times of the year when no one's paying attention to us,
• 1:55:10
  Speaker 5: that we're out working people, that we're doing things the
• 1:55:13
  Speaker 5: way they need to be done, so that, you know,
• 1:55:15
  Speaker 5: when we get into the fourth quarter in Arkansas and
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 5: things aren't going the way we want them to go.
• 1:55:19
  Speaker 5: We can find a way. When we get into the
• 1:55:21
  Speaker 5: fourth quarter at Notre Dame and we're down, we can
• 1:55:23
  Speaker 5: find a way. And when we come out in the
• 1:55:25
  Speaker 5: second half at LSU, we can run away with a game.
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 5: Like all of that stuff gets formed with those things
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 5: that you're doing throughout the year, and I just think
• 1:55:33
  Speaker 5: we focused a lot more on that than we have about,
• 1:55:36
  Speaker 5: you know, pounding our chest about you know, our facilities,
• 1:55:39
  Speaker 5: or how nice this place is or those types of things.
• 1:55:42
  Speaker 5: And I think maybe that's flipped a little bit how
• 1:55:44
  Speaker 5: we see things and how we think about them.
• 1:55:46
  Speaker 1: You're aight, no right now, You're standing at top of
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: the sec keep.
• 1:55:49
  Speaker 5: Saying that like you're trying to jinx it like I'm
• 1:55:51
  Speaker 5: pitching a no hit.
• 1:55:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah right.
• 1:55:54
  Speaker 2: Enough, Yeah, you're right, you're right, get a hit.
• 1:55:57
  Speaker 1: Let me try to rephrase it. You've lost zero time
• 1:56:00
  Speaker 1: this year, so we don't jinx it, and so the
• 1:56:05
  Speaker 1: head coach, the pitcher can continue to throw his no hitter.
• 1:56:08
  Speaker 1: What are the messages taking place in your building right now? Because,
• 1:56:12
  Speaker 1: like Will said, we've been to your campus, people say
• 1:56:16
  Speaker 1: it's very much cult like when it comes to your
• 1:56:18
  Speaker 1: fan base, I tend to agree with that, and I
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: mean it as a compliment, like the Midnight Yells all
• 1:56:24
  Speaker 1: that like it is. You watch it and if you're
• 1:56:27
  Speaker 1: a hater of Texas A and M, you're like this,
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: this stuff is a little bit crazy. But as a
• 1:56:31
  Speaker 1: as a Michigan guy, like I would love it if
• 1:56:33
  Speaker 1: my fan base got together at midnight in Michigan Stadium
• 1:56:37
  Speaker 1: and like went over what kind of chance we're going
• 1:56:39
  Speaker 1: to do? So obviously, like the expectations just grown and
• 1:56:42
  Speaker 1: grown and grown and grown. Where pearls are maybe no
• 1:56:45
  Speaker 1: longer being clutched from the outside, they're now like, hey,
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: maybe we actually maybe we can do it like that.
• 1:56:50
  Speaker 1: We had a hard time at LSU, but no, we
• 1:56:52
  Speaker 1: don't have a hard time. Elsie Moore. How are you
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: keeping those boys focused going to these last three games
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 1: of the year?
• 1:56:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah, First of all, we use the term passionate. That's
• 1:56:59
  Speaker 5: what our fan base y. Yeah, when you talk about
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 5: passionate fan bases, like they are at a lot of
• 1:57:04
  Speaker 5: places around the country, they have high expectations, and expectations
• 1:57:09
  Speaker 5: grow every time you win a football game. And that's
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 5: just the nature of college football today. And I think
• 1:57:13
  Speaker 5: the biggest thing that we talk about internally is one
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 5: how much the noise can impact you. And that's a
• 1:57:19
  Speaker 5: year round conversation to avoid the noise, for the good,
• 1:57:23
  Speaker 5: for the bad, no matter what. You're going to be
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 5: on a seesaw, you know. And so you go out
• 1:57:27
  Speaker 5: and lose a game, and you're gonna be the worst
• 1:57:28
  Speaker 5: team in the history of Dexas A and M. You
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 5: go out and win a game, and you're going to
• 1:57:32
  Speaker 5: be the best team. And that that's just how this
• 1:57:33
  Speaker 5: stuff goes nowadays. And so a lot of it is that,
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 5: a lot of it is just education on how to
• 1:57:38
  Speaker 5: avoid the noise. And then I think we're in a
• 1:57:40
  Speaker 5: fortunate situation because you know, we got this program to
• 1:57:44
  Speaker 5: this spot or very close to it last year where
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 5: we were five and zero in the SEC and we
• 1:57:48
  Speaker 5: had just beaten LSU and things were trending in a
• 1:57:51
  Speaker 5: really positive direction. And I think that was really the
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 5: first time this program, in this last few year iteration
• 1:57:58
  Speaker 5: of it, experienced that, you know, people talking positive about them,
• 1:58:02
  Speaker 5: people talking about potential play like and we didn't handle
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 5: it the right way last year and they know that,
• 1:58:07
  Speaker 5: and so I think we have the opportunity to kind
• 1:58:10
  Speaker 5: of point back to that and keep them grounded on
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 5: a one game mentality or one one week mentality and
• 1:58:16
  Speaker 5: finish this thing the way we want to so that
• 1:58:18
  Speaker 5: we can get done what we want to get done.
• 1:58:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you can see the rat poison even as
• 1:58:23
  Speaker 4: players like you can see the rat poison that can
• 1:58:25
  Speaker 4: start to creep into times, especially if you are you
• 1:58:27
  Speaker 4: guys right now and you're looking at Missoo who just lost.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 4: They're a two lost team. We got Miszoo South Carolina,
• 1:58:33
  Speaker 4: Sanford in Texas who Texas has had so much conversation
• 1:58:36
  Speaker 4: around negatively, you can very much see like, hey, boys,
• 1:58:40
  Speaker 4: this is we don't let our we don't let our
• 1:58:42
  Speaker 4: foot up the gas here, especially as a coach. Coach Uko,
• 1:58:45
  Speaker 4: I want to just read you your career man Stonybrook,
• 1:58:49
  Speaker 4: Penn Merchant, Marine fordam Richmond, Hostra Bowling, Green Wake Forest.
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 4: Then you get your LIQ with Notre dame A and
• 1:58:57
  Speaker 4: m out at Duke and then back at A and
• 1:58:59
  Speaker 4: m man what when you reflect back on your career
• 1:59:04
  Speaker 4: in your climb in this business, because you clearly took
• 1:59:07
  Speaker 4: you were you were at the absolute bottom. You had
• 1:59:10
  Speaker 4: to climb and earn every bit of where right now,
• 1:59:15
  Speaker 4: crazy shot at Stony Broke.
• 1:59:16
  Speaker 2: But in this business, you've done clearly an incredible job.
• 1:59:20
  Speaker 4: What advantages do you feel like you had making this route,
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 4: making your own way when you look back and reflect
• 1:59:27
  Speaker 4: on a resume like this, Again, all due respect, all
• 1:59:31
  Speaker 4: these teams are just named.
• 1:59:33
  Speaker 2: Talking about.
• 1:59:39
  Speaker 1: Just go crazy. All these teams suck, and now you're
• 1:59:42
  Speaker 1: at a good team, coach, how do you feel.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 4: I don't even mean it like that, bro I don't
• 1:59:47
  Speaker 4: even mean it like that, but it's just, you.
• 1:59:49
  Speaker 5: Know, I get the question. This is this is what
• 1:59:52
  Speaker 5: I would say. It was a unique path, for sure.
• 1:59:54
  Speaker 5: I've said that a lot of times to a lot
• 1:59:57
  Speaker 5: of different people. It's something we talk about in recruiting.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 5: I was never the guy who went and elevated himself
• 2:00:03
  Speaker 5: as a GA or position coach. I became a defensive
• 2:00:06
  Speaker 5: coordinator at Hofstra when I was twenty six years old,
• 2:00:09
  Speaker 5: and I just climbed the ranks of football as a
• 2:00:11
  Speaker 5: defensive coordinator. And that was just the path that I took.
• 2:00:15
  Speaker 5: That was how it went. And I think what you
• 2:00:17
  Speaker 5: learn from it is is one a humbleness and a
• 2:00:20
  Speaker 5: humility that you know you're great coaches, great players. They
• 2:00:24
  Speaker 5: come from a lot of different places right, And it's
• 2:00:26
  Speaker 5: not necessarily who the most star studded names on social
• 2:00:30
  Speaker 5: media are. It's the people who are capable and do
• 2:00:34
  Speaker 5: the work to be really successful. And I think that's
• 2:00:37
  Speaker 5: that forms from that. Also, it's probably an appreciation for
• 2:00:41
  Speaker 5: the opportunities that I have because that first job, I'll
• 2:00:44
  Speaker 5: tell you, you know, the first job I was at
• 2:00:46
  Speaker 5: Stony Brook. My office was in a portable trailer right
• 2:00:49
  Speaker 5: next to the bathroom, and so I can't say that
• 2:00:52
  Speaker 5: when I was sitting there going to work every day
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 5: slicing cutup tapes, that I envisioned this would be the
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 5: ending point. So I think she keeps you humble, keeps
• 2:01:01
  Speaker 5: you grounded, and just kind of makes you stick to
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 5: the process that you've always gone through your whole life.
• 2:01:05
  Speaker 2: Well, what were you getting paid as a j in
• 2:01:07
  Speaker 2: Stony Brook?
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 5: Oh gosh, I think I was getting paid like sixty
• 2:01:11
  Speaker 5: five hundred dollars. I'll tell you the best one. So
• 2:01:13
  Speaker 5: the second year saw I'm a pngrad. So a lot
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 5: of pengrads make a lot of money when they get
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 5: out of college. I didn't. My second year, I went
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 5: back to Penn and I kept having to bring recruits
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 5: through this presentation where they were showing the average starting
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 5: salary of a pngrad and I think I was making
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 5: like seventeen thousand. I think the average grad was making
• 2:01:31
  Speaker 5: like ninety. At that point, I'm thinking to myself, jeez,
• 2:01:34
  Speaker 5: I'm not sure that I made the right decision with
• 2:01:36
  Speaker 5: my life. But it's worked out. We kind of got
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 5: to the point.
• 2:01:41
  Speaker 1: That is a funny story about questioning your path. Has
• 2:01:44
  Speaker 1: there ever been a real question for you being like
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 1: maybe you have a tough Caesar or two and you're like,
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if this is the path I truly
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 1: want to go down. Have you ever had one of
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 1: those moments as a coach?
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 5: No, I really haven't. I really have been fortunate. I've
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 5: been fortunate that, you know, most of the time I've
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 5: been of programs that we're ascending. You're never really been
• 2:02:04
  Speaker 5: been up against the block where things were trending backwards
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 5: or trending downhill. Knock on wood. I've been fortunate enough
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 5: to never have been fired. And so you know, I've
• 2:02:13
  Speaker 5: had a blessed career. If you can think about how
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 5: how many pitfalls there really are in football, and so
• 2:02:18
  Speaker 5: even though some of those names aren't the most prestigious
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 5: names of schools that I've been at. Uh, you know,
• 2:02:24
  Speaker 5: I have been fortunate to be part of a lot
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 5: of really good seasons and a lot of really good situations.
• 2:02:28
  Speaker 4: Hats off to you for being selfless to know I'm
• 2:02:30
  Speaker 4: going to take these recruits through this presentation, and honestly,
• 2:02:34
  Speaker 4: you're just You're taking strays left and right, like you're
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 4: going to get slaughtered. Your ego is going to get
• 2:02:39
  Speaker 4: slaughtered every time you're running them through this presentation.
• 2:02:41
  Speaker 5: I kept asking the lady when I would leave, I'm like,
• 2:02:43
  Speaker 5: does this have mine like in it? Like is this
• 2:02:46
  Speaker 5: counting what I'm making or is this like a previous
• 2:02:49
  Speaker 5: graduating class?
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 1: Or that is awesome, coach. We appreciate the hell of
• 2:02:54
  Speaker 1: you taking the time out of your day busy stales.
• 2:02:56
  Speaker 2: I have I have one more question, Well.
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 1: Yet one more question, and I'm gonna restart.
• 2:02:59
  Speaker 4: You had this, Yeah, this comes from the wedding. Who's
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 4: number seven? You had a famous quote last year. This
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 4: is a real program. It's not fake. It's not a
• 2:03:10
  Speaker 4: politician run It's not a politician running this program talking
• 2:03:13
  Speaker 4: fast and bullshitting everybody. This is a real program for
• 2:03:16
  Speaker 4: all the recruits out there. This is a real place
• 2:03:18
  Speaker 4: and if you want to be really good at football,
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 4: this is a really good place to be. Your name
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 4: With all of g's job openings coming open, your name
• 2:03:28
  Speaker 4: starts to get in those conversations because the belief on
• 2:03:31
  Speaker 4: the outside is also Texas A and M. The brand,
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 4: the logo, everything else. This at one point in time
• 2:03:38
  Speaker 4: was a stepping stone to all of these other schools,
• 2:03:40
  Speaker 4: these jobs that are now opening up with LSU, Florida,
• 2:03:43
  Speaker 4: Penn State. For you sitting where you're at and the
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 4: movement of nil money, you building this place to where
• 2:03:51
  Speaker 4: everyone talks about on the outside what Texas A and
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 4: M could be?
• 2:03:54
  Speaker 2: What do you feel? How do you feel about that noise?
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 4: Are these conversations you have with the players in your
• 2:03:59
  Speaker 4: name comes up in these conversations. As far as a
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 4: Texas A and M is a spot I want to be.
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 4: This is the most focus I'm putting into as a
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 4: coach of the Texas A and m Aggie's What are
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 4: those conversations like when you're compartmentalizing everything being at A
• 2:04:13
  Speaker 4: and M.
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah. I had a really other famous quote that came
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 5: out like a week and a half ago that was
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 5: on social media about my thoughts on these other jobs
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 5: and it being a waste of brain space. I think
• 2:04:24
  Speaker 5: no different than we talk to our players. I think
• 2:04:27
  Speaker 5: it's really important to focus on what's in front of you.
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 5: We have a lot of confidence in what we're doing
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 5: here at Texas A and m what this place can be,
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 5: and I just don't think those conversations are things that
• 2:04:37
  Speaker 5: are important at all during the season, and so internally
• 2:04:40
  Speaker 5: we address the things that we need to. But like
• 2:04:43
  Speaker 5: we tell the players to avoid the external noise, I
• 2:04:46
  Speaker 5: think it's really important that coaches do the same, and
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 5: that's how we try to go about it.
• 2:04:50
  Speaker 2: Coach man you are.
• 2:04:52
  Speaker 4: I'll tell you what, I'd love to have an ice
• 2:04:53
  Speaker 4: cool bud light with you one day, you saying strays,
• 2:04:56

• 2:04:58

• 2:05:03
  Speaker 5: station and uh maybe we'll make that happen.
• 2:05:06
