0:00
This is Will Montgomery former Washington Redskins center,
0:04
y'all. Let's go folks.
0:06
This is Trey Johnson, the headbang of y'all and you're
0:08
listening to mess hall with Riley, captain and tailgate Tech
0:12
work. What's going on rally?
0:15
Happy Victory Monday, man. Week. 18, Victory, Monday, who
0:22
Woulda? Thunk it.
0:23
That's right. I said thunk, let's get it.
0:27
Not me, not me at all. I actually ended up when I was
0:32
driving in Maryland. Get know my tailgate stuff done.
0:35
I was listening to the watching football Talk podcast and the
0:39
guys are put bets in and Mitch tishler.
0:42
For those who don't know, he's on NBC Sports Washington and he
0:45
does a podcast with JP and Pete. He put a partly in on the
0:49
Cowboys to cover and the / / was 41 thinking Mitch, smart, dude,
0:57
Knows what he's talking about. I ended up putting $20 down on
1:00
the Cowboys in that parlay and I am happy as hell that I got that
1:05
wrong and just lift that $20 on fire, man, well, speaking of B,
1:12
so I told you that initially that I bet that we wouldn't more
1:17
than seven games and lo and behold we 18.
1:21
So you know, I'm happy with that brother.
1:23
So so my my money came in and and and so I was happy about
1:26
that. So I I better parlay as well and
1:30
my parlay was ceiling, will get a touchdown and Jahan Datsun
1:37
will get TouchDown. Well, we know that didn't happen
1:42
your clothes so bad your clothes and oh yeah, I felt the city was
1:46
going to get one. I just felt that he was and I
1:48
thought that, you know, jahan's been I felt the connection
1:50
between Jehan and Sam even though we hadn't seen much.
1:54
But John has just It about Dynamic receiver and I figured
2:00
that Sam has the arm to get the ball to him, so it could happen.
2:05
And little did I know that ball went to Terry and I ain't mad.
2:08
Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad. No, we hope to Jerry versus
2:11
Jahan and we won the game and we shut everyone down including you
2:18
and me speaking of shutting down man and just shutting up all
2:25
those Cowboy fans. So I pulled in The stadium at
2:28
10:00 in the morning. Yeah, and I'm starting to set up
2:31
shop. I'm getting everything ready.
2:33
It's just me, hanging out there and I'm listening some Rage
2:35
Against the Machine thinking we're going to war today.
2:38
So typically I'll listen to some old school hip-hop or something
2:41
like that. While I'm getting everything set
2:43
up by myself, I was ready to put some face paint on and just get
2:47
at it on all those Cowboys fans. Okay.
2:50
And next thing you know, the Lots open up and it is just blue
2:56
and silver. All around me and I was blocking
2:59
off parking spaces for my boys that were late some stuck in
3:02
traffic, some hungover. And Cowboy fans, trying to move
3:06
my stuff around. Like you obviously didn't see
3:08
the van put that there. I'm not trying to be a dick
3:09
about it, but I got someone bringing me something.
3:12
They're gonna park right here, and it was just a sea of them.
3:17
I mean, you obviously were walking around, what was it?
3:20
Like, man, I mean, to me, it was 7030, stands wise them, but what
3:25
was it like in the Lots, Cowboy wise.
3:27
I would say the same in the lots and the running joke that I had
3:33
was thanks for coming and stimulating our economy, really?
3:36
Really appreciate it. You know we need Renovations at
3:39
FedEx field, so we greatly appreciate you guys coming in
3:43
and helping us out with that. And so it was just a laugh and
3:46
joke, you know. That's the good thing about
3:48
fans. You you, you got your, the
3:50
majority of fans are fun-loving people.
3:53
Happy go lucky. They don't care one way or the
3:56
other. Obviously, they want their team.
3:57
To win, but they're not hit their for the nonsense, you know
4:00
what I mean? And then you've got the ones who
4:02
just wanted to start trouble, no matter where you go, you're
4:05
gonna find it. So yeah, but for the most part
4:09
I'd say 99.9% of the people. There were just fun-loving
4:13
Cowboy fans and I know it's hard.
4:15
Even say that in the same breath, but but it was, it was,
4:19
it was just fun and just the banter to go back and forth.
4:22
And I said, listen, by all accounts, you guys are supposed
4:25
to just mopped the floor with Us.
4:27
I said but at the same time, it's week 18 and you guys may
4:32
look past us because of the playoffs now.
4:34
Now now we're going to do it and I said for your sake I hope
4:39
you're right because I'm going to come back to your tailgate
4:42
and laugh at you. And so here we are at at 9:00 at
4:49
night later just you know just laughing at these guys.
4:53
It was it was funny man. That's awesome man yea-ah We
4:57
typically take walk up fans that come because if you want to come
5:01
to my tailgate, you got to RSVP RSVP shuts down on Friday at 9
5:05
a.m. So I get enough time to buy
5:07
everything and get everything ready.
5:09
And I'll typically have the sappy email of I missed it.
5:12
I just got tickets last minute. Can I show up?
5:14
And the answer is if you show up and we got space then, great,
5:19
but I can't guarantee anything because it's disrespectful to
5:22
the people that actually took the time to save a spot for me.
5:25
Now, you know, Do you some favors?
5:28
Well, we had some Cowboy fans walking up and asking saying,
5:32
hey, you know, can we help you out the immediate answer on my
5:34
mouth was no. No sorry y'all welcome.
5:38
But the same for you. You had to register ahead of
5:41
time. One of the women actually gave
5:43
me an attitude about it. Mike I'm not a restaurant.
5:46
This is the tailgate we're hanging out here that we do for
5:48
charity and I felt like it was just going to be one of those
5:51
days and a couple of them actually try to sneak back in
5:55
line when I was cooking and Doing something else not
5:58
thinking I would notice. So went back over there and said
6:00
I'm not trying to be a dick about it but you're always
6:03
welcome here. You can go hang out at some
6:05
other tailgate you got like thousands of other Cowboy fans
6:08
go eat their food. Yeah welcome come eat mine.
6:10
So you know goodbye God Bless but not today and I lost money
6:16
at the tailgate yesterday which is perfectly fine by me because
6:19
I wasn't taking that blood money man.
6:21
I don't need 30 pieces of silver from those G.
6:26
He Money. Dang, man.
6:28
Okay, we got it was our smallest tailgate of the year and I okay,
6:32
I knew that was going to happen. I just can't tone down the menu
6:38
and take the Integrity of it. Out of it.
6:40
We've been doing the same thing for a while, so, you know, it is
6:44
what it is, but it offsets from all the other games where we had
6:47
some extra cash, it just means that what a Charities were
6:50
helping out isn't going to get as much as we had hoped.
6:53
But, you know, if the team would have played better, then it
6:56
would have All right. But when you made it inside the
6:59
stadium, did you get a chance to actually walk around?
7:02
Because I ran into you obviously, we were hanging out
7:05
having a good time but I'm assuming you made it in a well
7:08
before I did. What was it?
7:09
Like walking around The Concourse and everything else?
7:12
Well, so I made my way. So once I left you I made my way
7:18
down toward The I didn't go as far as the RV.
7:22
Lots are concerned because there are tailgates that I was fucked
7:25
up. Okay, so now see I've never told
7:29
you this before. Well, I make I make my way down
7:32
for everyone who wants to know the path of travel of the
7:35
captain. I start in a Red Zone lot and
7:38
there's like, just a zigzag memory pattern that I've been
7:42
doing this for so many years and to where people ask me to stop.
7:46
So is a bunch of zigzagging and it takes me down.
7:50
To roughly the RV lat, okay? And I say hi to them, you know,
7:55
we do a toast, whatever. Have you done to make my way
7:57
back up, back up toward. I don't even you know what I've
8:01
been doing it so long for memory.
8:02
I don't even look the pole designations but that instead of
8:07
going to the left back where your tailgate is, I go toward
8:10
the right toward the players lat.
8:12
Okay, I'll make my way around the entire Stadium.
8:16
And so, I went inside, didn't have any issues getting in got
8:22
on the main level and took pictures, kiss babies.
8:25
The whole nine yards people. Yeah, you're that guy on TV yet,
8:28
you know. Well where's your W?
8:30
You know, that's the one of the biggest things is.
8:31
So obviously, they don't listen to, they don't listen to the
8:33
dbms. All because I said that one game
8:36
out of the season, I will honor the Redskins, and that's my way
8:40
of doing it. I just have to pick last game of
8:42
the season do that. So nevertheless, those had to
8:44
give them a little understanding. it was going on
8:46
why I didn't have the W and but I had the risky ins on and Ben,
8:52
I was able to finally make my way down the steps to my seat
8:56
and bro, sea of blue with, with burgundy and gold sprinkled, in
9:01
which we knew this already. Oh yeah, we knew it was going to
9:05
happen, and I didn't mind. It's just, it's just it felt
9:10
like an away game for a second even though I know I was at
9:13
FedEx field. So, but I had a group, great
9:18
group of people sitting around me who were Cowboys fan.
9:21
Yes. And we went back and forth with
9:23
the banter and it was just, it was just nice, man.
9:26
It really was. And, and icing on the cake is US
9:29
winning the game, you know, and send them back home to wherever
9:32
they came from with a Lonely Heart.
9:36
So, I only had one Cowboy fair that I had an issue with, and
9:41
I'm walking back down to my seat.
9:42
After hitting the head because I can't, I'm a perfectly, we kick
9:45
a punt, I can run, I go in through the exit door, not the
9:48
entry door of the guest bathroom.
9:51
Are you getting faster? Walk past everybody.
9:53
Boom, bam. Got back to the row.
9:56
This guy is just playing on his phone, so I immediately go down
10:00
the alley on the left and just walk past him and he gives me an
10:04
attitude and starts yelling and cursing at me for it's like,
10:07
where's the fire? What the hell's a problem type
10:09
of thing? Like, am I stopping you from
10:11
looking at your phone? And he was just chirping with
10:13
me, going back and forth and all the diehards, it sit around me.
10:17
Their season ticket holders are not going anywhere.
10:19
They had my back but this guy I was pushing up on and just go to
10:22
that fourth. Like it today is not the day,
10:25
you don't want to do this today, then the kid realize he was in
10:27
the wrong section and had to go to sections over just wasn't
10:30
paying attention but for the most part the Cowboy fans around
10:34
me other than one woman that was a Cowboy fan that yelled at me
10:38
to shut up. Because when there was maybe
10:40
five minutes left in the game, the stands, everyone started
10:44
singing that na. Na na.
10:47
Hey. Hey hey.
10:48
So I am standing on top of my seat.
10:52
Just waving goodbye. So all the Cowboys fans singing
10:55
at the top of my lungs, some of the Cowboy fans that were
10:58
walking out. I actually escorted them up the
11:01
actual stairs out of the section.
11:04
Saying goodbye. Thanks for coming out, get the
11:06
hell out my Stadium type of thing and, you know, you and I
11:08
took a couple of shots. You know, I'd probably had a
11:11
couple of beers. I was just having a good time.
11:14
Yeah. And I had to re-watch the game
11:16
today because I missed a decent amount of a game just because I
11:19
was talking with everyone around.
11:21
Around and just one of our listeners came down and he and I
11:24
were hanging out on one of the touchdowns and just chatting
11:26
back and forth. So it was more of a social thing
11:29
for me yesterday than actually watching the game because we're
11:32
not going back there until August.
11:34
So I wanted to kind of soak it all in.
11:36
And in my section, I didn't have to deal with as much blue and
11:41
silver, maybe just because it's season ticket holders at didn't
11:44
sell, but I was surprised, I had a couple friends I introduced
11:47
you to from different teams that showed up.
11:51
And I needed, two extra tickets for the game.
11:53
So I put a tweet out there on Saturday saying I need two
11:56
tickets. All buyer, I'm not asking for
11:58
free tickets and I had easily 60 commanders fans that just
12:04
weren't going to the game that were trying to dump their ticket
12:08
in summer their tickets. Some of them trying to make a
12:10
lot of money off me. Like one guy hit me up and said
12:13
here's a ticket. $300 each this tickets.
12:16
Going for a buck 25 on StubHub bra it's like I appreciate that.
12:21
But I mean come on now. Yeah and he ain't happen to come
12:25
down. We ended up actually getting a
12:27
bunch of tickets donated to a warrior wishes.
12:29
So there were a dozen vets that came out with their families so
12:33
I appreciate it all those people and one of the Commander's
12:36
coaches, who I won't say their name, they reached out and it
12:40
upsetting me for tickets. So I was able to get my friends
12:43
in the game and hang out and have a good time.
12:45
So it worked out but man, it was a It was crazy, Dan Snyder?
12:51
Wasn't at the game right now? Yeah, Jerry Jones was and he was
12:56
walking through the stands signing autographs and taking
13:01
pictures, man. Did you see that video?
13:03
No, it's crazy. And for those wondering it's
13:06
Monday, January 9th at 4:24 that were recording.
13:11
This, I'll put the video up on our YouTube.
13:13
Yeah, I mean, you, here it is. You can see Jerry Jones walking
13:17
down. He's got the security people.
13:19
And I guess he's just walking onto the field because that's
13:22
where you actually get onto the field and he's just taking
13:25
pictures and signing autographs with different fans.
13:28
And it's just it's crazy that the co-owner of this franchise,
13:34
wasn't there, for Sonny, Jurgensen is Jersey retirement,
13:37
number retirement. And that Jerry Jones is walking
13:40
around like, he owns a damn place.
13:43
I mean, to me that was embarrassing to see after the
13:46
fact we won. It doesn't matter.
13:49
Yeah, but to have their fans, take over our environment and
13:52
have Jerry probably feel more at home here than he does at all
13:57
the other stadiums in the NFL was just a little bit ridiculous
14:00
to make. Well, you know, I hear what
14:05
you're saying and at first I thought he kind of did it on
14:11
purpose but but now that you say that I do know that to get onto
14:15
the field is kind of a janky process.
14:19
So Gotta walk through the Sea of fans to get to the field.
14:23
Although, I thought he might have come through the tunnel,
14:26
you know, typically they come through the tunnel.
14:28
Yes, there's a elevator that takes you right there.
14:30
Drops you right down. Boom, you come right out.
14:33
He had to have been walking their lower Concourse to go down
14:37
that entrance and those that haven't been before, it's one of
14:41
the rows, it come down. One of the sections that are on
14:44
the Cowboys sideline, and you've got to walk to the 200 level,
14:48
the 100 level pass. A dream seats onto the field
14:51
typically you don't have ownership doing that they're
14:55
coming in through their team tunnel and coming out that way.
14:58
So I can only imagine if Jerry was sitting there walking around
15:03
pulling a rally shaking hands and kissing babies while he's
15:05
walking around the lower, Concourse going to pick up some
15:09
Johnny Rockets on the way to the stance.
15:11
So, Paisano's baby, come on now. Yeah, I do.
15:19
Wait for what? Yeah, man.
15:21
That's hey, I like some designers.
15:24
But hey, man, you're a billion-dollar owner.
15:29
You do what you want to do. It's the last game of the season
15:32
for us. So, why not make everybody happy
15:34
and shake hands? Now, this will be next week,
15:39
will be the last week for them. Obviously, if they continue to
15:43
play the way that they played. But I gotta tell you, I was very
15:47
happy with the way. Our guys played And and I know
15:50
that I, we went back and forth with the whole Sam, how thing
15:55
and and I'm actually happy that he did play.
15:59
You know, I hate the captain one thing I've always said, if I
16:03
make a mistake or if I'm wrong, I'm man enough to admit when I'm
16:06
wrong. And on this one, I was wrong and
16:08
I was happy to see Sam play. I really was and I'm actually
16:13
happy that that his name is in the qmix now granted, it's just
16:19
One game, but from what he showed is what I say.
16:25
So let me go back a little bit for everybody that's been
16:27
following us. And for the ones who have not
16:29
been following the US, you said I want to see what we have in
16:33
Sam. And I said, I already know we
16:35
have in Sam because what he did last night, was basically what
16:39
he did in college. So that's what I meant, from
16:41
that side of the house, but as far as the professional side of
16:45
the house, I understand that that there was just this.
16:49
What if what do we have there? So and I appreciate him bawling
16:54
out and maybe putting a little bit of the controversy to the
16:58
side, but I know that they're still we've got a long way to
17:02
go. As far as that's concerned but I
17:04
was happy. I was happy today that we were
17:07
able to see that arm that he has then that John should have been
17:11
should have called one of those basses and Terry Terry should
17:14
have caught a couple to but hey the Fact, is we see that the kid
17:19
that the arm? It relays into the pro level?
17:23
He's out of Rocket, he can get it done with this with his legs.
17:26
He had a bonehead move in the end zone but we expect that you
17:30
know. Okay, he's a fifth round rookie
17:32
for a reason you know, those are the growing pains that you hope
17:36
he grows out of and some of the only ways go out of it, is
17:40
getting that experience and realize doing.
17:42
I went back and watch that play specifically and, you know, I
17:46
was just there was nothing there you triple covered in the end
17:49
zone and you've got to walk away with at least three but who
17:53
knows that point if Joey's lies even going to make the damn
17:56
field goal. I mean he was absolute trash
17:59
yesterday and probably played himself off the roster or if not
18:03
into a kicking competition next season.
18:05
Good mean, Joey, Joey left seven points.
18:08
All the fancy about that. I was going to ask you about
18:10
that, did you? You look for new kicker now or
18:12
do you just kind of you know, what do you do?
18:15
But you ain't bringing competition.
18:16
Ian you've got to bring in someone to challenge him and
18:20
who's going to be there? Who knows?
18:22
But at no point, did he earned himself a spot to just Coast
18:27
next season and not worry about it, a training camp.
18:29
You know, there's plenty of balls to be snapped to have a
18:31
couple kickers come in and see what you can do.
18:34
And you know, there have been a couple of games that were close
18:37
in a missed field goal here and there can definitely cost you.
18:39
I mean typically commanders / Washington teams in the past.
18:44
We all look at that. Miss extra point or Miss.
18:46
Go on thinking, this is why we're going to lose.
18:48
We're going to lose by one or we're going to lose by 2 and
18:51
that feel good what a helped us. Thank God, it didn't hurt us
18:54
yesterday, you know, by any means everyone stepped up and
18:58
it's just the Cowboys were playing for something they
19:02
played there in starters, the entire game even though the
19:06
Eagles were just trouncing the Giants, the Cowboys never let up
19:11
Dak had 37 attempts. He stayed in the entire time I
19:16
mean dap was 14 to 37 for a buck Twenty Eight with a touchdown
19:20
and an interception he should have had, you know, granted, he
19:23
should have had two pics if not three at that point, they did
19:28
eventually pulled that Trooper Rush came in for one attempt to
19:34
understanding. Yeah, so to 25 minutes left in
19:37
the game and they pull it back for yet.
19:39
Yeah, it's just. The thing is, we beat up on the
19:42
Cowboys with their starters in and our backup set.
19:46
Sam Howell was 11 to 19 for a buck. 69 with a touchdown
19:51
interception and three sacks, which is, he's not letting the
19:55
world on fire. But the thing is and commanders
19:58
fans need to calm down. Because right now, they're all
20:00
yelling and screaming Sam house to be number 1 next season.
20:03
He's the future, they're treating it.
20:06
Like how heinicke lost us that playoff game against the
20:10
Buccaneers. This was not an iconic
20:12
performance by this young man. But what I did see from Sam is
20:16
he He hits his receivers in stride.
20:19
He gives them a chance to make plays after they catch a
20:23
majority of his throws were on point.
20:25
They weren't behind guys. He showed Poise in that pocket
20:30
and he used his legs, we needed to use his legs.
20:33
He averaged seven yards, a carry on the ground.
20:36
He was 54 35 and the offense seem different with him in it.
20:42
There was more read-option, there was more threatened run.
20:45
Yeah, you know. Scott.
20:47
Maybe realize that. Hey I am play calling my future
20:51
right now because it's Black Monday today and is Scott didn't
20:55
adapt his game plan for Sam. Then best be assured.
20:58
His name would have been on the chopping block, but as of 4:30
21:02
he still has a job so we'll see what happens but we're not.
21:05
I was happy man. You know, the only person that I
21:10
wanted more out of from an offensive perspective was
21:13
Jonathan Williams, Jonathan have 14 carries For 32 yards, I
21:18
didn't I wasn't impressed with him.
21:21
I was happy as hell for Jerry, Patterson.
21:23
Oh man, seeing him take advantage of what he had.
21:27
And I sent a tweet out there when they brought Jerry
21:30
Patterson, not from the practice squad and activate him said, I
21:32
can't wait to see him against a number one, Cowboys defense and
21:36
a couple people replied saying are you being sarcastic?
21:39
No, I'm being realistically because in the preseason
21:42
whenever he gets in, it's against third stringers and four
21:44
strings that are in this lead. And we saw What he could do
21:47
against that. Number one, Cowboy defense.
21:50
Well, I remember him being in last year.
21:52
He did pretty well, I mean, in about what did he come from?
21:55
Was a Syracuse a Rhode Island. It was one of those up north
22:00
schools. I don't remember which one is
22:02
he? I think.
22:04
Okay. Okay, so once again up North, so
22:07
I was your Clips. You wasn't too far out of the
22:09
ballpark, but I enjoy watching the kid last year, the kid I
22:14
enjoy watching them when he did try.
22:16
Uncle in this year. And so it just goes to show you
22:18
that. Once again we have weapons that
22:23
just need to be utilized and I'm hoping that we can Get some new
22:30
guys from offensive line. And go to town, man.
22:36
I know it's not going to be easy, but I know that they're
22:40
linemen that are out on the market that are better than what
22:44
we had. And one thing, one thing that I
22:47
also notice is I always talk about that quarterback, internal
22:51
clock and back in schools EIEIO throw or EIEIO go.
22:58
And that's what I saw from Sam. I love the fact that is reads
23:01
real quick. Love that he didn't he didn't
23:04
hesitate, you know it wasn't like okay was if it wasn't
23:07
there. He took off and did what he had
23:09
to do or that ball was out, man. And with the line, let's just
23:14
say for all intensive purposes that they keep the same line
23:17
which I hope I hope to God. No.
23:19
Yeah, but I'm just saying you get, they did.
23:22
He has the mindset of getting the ball out to where it less
23:26
impact on him as well as. Getting hurt man because the
23:33
ball was out and and let's face it.
23:35
Dallas had their their starters rushing And that wasn't even
23:41
there. I mean, they had, you know, a
23:43
couple of times, two of those sacks, I'd say we're on Sam and
23:47
one sack I'd say is on the offensive line, Sam.
23:50
I mean, being a rookie he showed Poise at the press conference,
23:53
he took blame for everything talked about how they love
23:56
points on the table. Talked about how he didn't do
24:00
his offensive line, you know, any favors and he held on to the
24:03
ball too long, talked about how it was a boneheaded mistake on
24:06
that interception. So I mean he is showing you all
24:09
those things. I want to see in a Brian
24:11
Mitchell on his show. Today bees daughter works with
24:15
the nflpa and he told a story on how his daughter met Sam Howell
24:21
and how she met John Dodson and compared to all the other
24:26
rookies that came in. She said a bunch of the other
24:29
rookies were acting like high school kids.
24:32
These guys were acting so respectful in like thats.
24:36
And to me some of that shows from their interaction with the
24:39
media. Via their interaction with their
24:41
teammates. You know, I've got my own
24:44
thoughts as to why hi, Nicky didn't want to play.
24:46
You know, you comes out after the fact, Jeremy Fowler's or the
24:50
Taylor heinicke. Told Rivera to let Sam start,
24:52
but the fact that, you know, he had other players rooting for
24:57
him and wanting him to play shows me that they felt that he
25:01
was mature enough to be on this stage and it turns out that Sam
25:06
grew up a Cowboy fan. He kept that a secret from Body
25:10
until the post game. So knowing that after the fact,
25:14
I'll forgive them. But, you know, it's just it's
25:18
interesting to see what he did. What's that?
25:22
You forgave me? That is true.
25:24
That is true. All I gotta say is no, it's just
25:32
Sheldon screaming that in the stands after their get their ass
25:35
beat. But you know you talk about the
25:36
offensive line we are Charles Leto play 100%.
25:40
The snaps he didn't miss a single snap the entire season.
25:44
So hats off to Charles definitely are granted.
25:47
Yeah. Yeah oh yeah.
25:48
There were a couple of snaps where he didn't play.
25:51
He was actually on the field, we didn't actually play I can think
25:54
of a Thibodeau one. You know that didn't actually
25:56
help out but Chris Paul came in at guard and played 100 percent
26:00
of the snaps Sam cosme was a tackle and Trey Turner was out
26:04
there so you know if that's going to be your offensive line
26:07
you know, okay well we'll see what happens.
26:10
Is Andrew nor welcome to be back?
26:12
I don't know. But the big question is what's
26:13
going to happen at Center for those of you that are wondering
26:16
rally and I are going to do kind of a season wrap up and, you
26:19
know, preview for the offseason of what should and shouldn't
26:22
happen and what we hope will and won't happen next week.
26:25
But the o-line, you know, they were pretty stout and I'm
26:29
shocked at how many Snaps are ones took.
26:33
Terry was in for 76% of the offense.
26:37
Same thing with Johan same. With Logan, Thomas.
26:41
I was surprised that cam Sims only 18% of stamps, D, Ami,
26:47
Brown, 12% of snaps. I thought that we are going to
26:50
see those kids more and see what they had and build on that Diaw
26:56
me Sam connection. So I'm kind of surprised if
26:59
that's the game plan and to me that shows that Rivera really
27:04
wanted to win this game. It wasn't about getting
27:07
experience. For some of the Young Bucks, it
27:09
was about getting To 500 for him.
27:12
Well what I was going to say is I think that yes he wanted to
27:17
win the game but one thing about Rivera is he'll say, one thing
27:23
and do something else and for the life of me and I'm cooling
27:29
my Jets, so to speak. But for the life of me, I think
27:32
that he really wanted to see the connection between how Jehan
27:38
Terry and and Curtis Curtis Curtis.
27:41
Even though Curtis didn't really do much of anything he wanted to
27:44
see that because I'm telling you man I feel that he's going to be
27:49
right now. He's projected to be the qb1 he
27:53
just is slow. Slow your roll down there lot
27:55
but I'm slowing my role but where I'm trying to get at is
27:59
he? He could have brought in the
28:02
Army, he could have brought in more of Camp, he could have done
28:05
exactly what you said. Well he wanted to see if the kid
28:09
could do what he needed to do to.
28:11
Possibly elevated be qb1. I'm not saying that he is but
28:16
there's only there's only one reason why you keep those guys
28:19
in like that and it's to see what as you said you of all,
28:23
people told me all last week. You got to see what the kid is
28:26
going to do. And I said no, no.
28:29
So now we understand. I think and it's just rally.
28:33
I think that we're putting ourselves in a position to keep
28:37
him to see if he could be, not that he is.
28:41
To see if he could be. Because now, what does that do?
28:45
As far as a salary cap is concerned?
28:47
What does that do? As far as draft, picks are
28:49
concerned so that we can get more.
28:52
If we if we got something here, we don't need to spin more to
28:57
get more. So great.
28:59
Yeah. So so that's all I'm saying.
29:01
I think that's the reason why he kept them in like you said, we
29:04
thought that we were going to see more of the younger guys.
29:06
Uh, I need to see what we truly have to be able to make my mind
29:10
up to Even go in the direction that I think that, we need to go
29:14
into it. And that's my thought from
29:15
Rivera. This was actually what Rivera
29:17
said about qb1 next year. Okay.
29:20
Obviously, it's incredibly premature to discuss his future,
29:23
but and you said the other day you're going to watch this game
29:25
and see, but that said, do you think he showed you enough to
29:28
beep either into the first q1 or Q2, possibly next year?
29:33
Well, I'll definitely tell you to kill.
29:35
Bqb will give a number yet? Because we'll get through the
29:38
evaluation process this week once we get through this.
29:41
This week you know and we'll just talk about some of the
29:43
stuff later on but for the most part this would be an evaluation
29:46
will get a chance to watch the game.
29:47
Break it down, talk about it going forward and then talk
29:51
about some of the things that you know, that we need to.
29:53
We need the most certainly focus on on going going through the
29:56
offseason. So I was on Fox 5 is morning and
30:02
those that missed, it will be on my Instagram later on, they're
30:05
still going to edit up the video, but they were asking me,
30:08
you know, what should we do at quarterback next year?
30:11
And my answer back to the anchors was we should draft a
30:14
quarterback. There are no good quarterbacks
30:18
and I want to trade for one of the anchors mentioned, Derek
30:21
Carr, we talked about it on one of our past shows.
30:24
What I don't want is this front office and regime.
30:29
To give up, draft picks for a quarterback from someone else's
30:34
team to give up picks for a quarterback that isn't working
30:39
in someone else's system, and I am 1000% on board with you about
30:44
salary cap and everything else. The good news is Carson, Wentz,
30:47
they're cutting it. And he's going to count against
30:50
zero for the salary cap Taylor heinicke, free agent.
30:53
So, his numbers not on the salary cap.
30:56
If we could go into the office, Season and go into next season
31:00
with Sam. Hal competing with another
31:03
rookie. Then that means that gives you
31:06
more money to pay her on pain that gives you more money to pay
31:11
Montez sweat. So you know a lot of people are
31:14
saying was this hide-a-keys last game.
31:16
Well this is actually what they talk to Rivera about heinicke
31:20
when he was leaving the stadium yesterday.
31:39
I really feel like he's not going to be here.
31:41
I don't know why he would want to be here and those that are
31:45
wondering about my Jeremy. Fowler comment.
31:47
Hi, Nicky told Rivera. So let's Sam start the game and
31:51
play the game and you could look at this one of two ways.
31:53
Him being a good big brother and wanting Sam.
31:57
Get that experience that he needed or heinicke playing this
32:01
from a business perspective. You benched my ass for Wentz
32:06
because you said he was going to give you a spark and now you
32:08
want me to come in and fix your mess and play behind a makeshift
32:13
offensive line against the Dallas Cowboys heading into the
32:17
offseason. No, thank you.
32:18
Ron Rivera because all I'm going to do is risk my potential
32:22
payday and contract with either this other team.
32:26
So, no, I don't want the ball. I don't want to start.
32:30
Let's am start. I'll be the background and for
32:32
me it was the latter heinicke did not want to play against the
32:36
Cowboys because he didn't want to risk getting hurt.
32:39
He knew what Michael Parsons did to Carson before and everything
32:43
that happened. Why go in there?
32:45
And this is actually a quote that Nick Avala has that high.
32:48
Like he said today during cleanup day and I quote, I've
32:52
thought about it a little bit, being a starter was great, you
32:55
want to keep playing ball, but at the same Time I fully embrace
32:58
the back of job. You don't obviously get hit as
33:01
much but just to be a part of this team and to help in any way
33:05
you can to try and get to that ultimate goal of the Super Bowl.
33:08
I just want to be on the team and again two years ago I was on
33:12
the couch so being on the team is everything to me and I don't
33:18
think Taylor's going to be here. I think he's going to be in
33:22
another locker room. Whether it's as a backup or as a
33:26
start or some players because there aren't enough good
33:29
quarterbacks in this league and I don't think he's starting
33:32
material and it's going to be interesting to see how he does
33:35
in a different system. I just hope that Rivera and the
33:41
Marty's do what's right for the long-term of this franchise.
33:45
And in my mind that is drafting some kids bringing some guys in
33:50
to compete with how? Well, I I differ with you today,
33:56
I think Taylor Is a starting QB providing that.
34:01
I'm just gonna throw this name out.
34:02
Provide that he went someplace like Shanahan who would cater an
34:06
offense around his skill set. I think that if, instead of
34:11
trying to force that doggone, you know, square peg in a round
34:16
hole. I think, I think that he could,
34:18
he could actually start somewhere.
34:20
The fact is we want to try to always Or some guy to do
34:25
something that that may not be meant, that may not be a skill
34:27
set. So if somebody can, can build an
34:31
offense around him, the way that in realize, what he can do and
34:35
what he can't do, I think he can start, so who knows?
34:40
And we've seen it before. So it could happen.
34:43
May not happen here but and at this was his last game.
34:47
A, my hat goes off to you Taylor.
34:48
My, it really does because you did, you did what you needed to
34:52
do to To tell your story from us.
34:56
It's it goes back to what I said, as far as Rivera.
35:00
I feel if Rivera was the move on my hat's off to him, too,
35:03
because he came in and did what he needed to do for this
35:05
franchise, to turn it around. So, hey, if it happens, it
35:10
happens. If it doesn't, no matter what?
35:13
We still going to ride, and we're going to go ahead and
35:14
figure this out, but I believe from what I saw that Sam will be
35:21
qb1. I just I just do because he gave
35:26
us that he gave us that heinicke, feeling against Tampa
35:30
Bay. Playing the Moxie.
35:34
I get that but you can't. I cannot make a determination if
35:40
he is good enough to be the franchise quarterback for this
35:44
team, in 60 minutes of football. It's just way too early and, you
35:51
know, he had so. So going back to our past show I
35:57
said, the kids only had three days of starts and look what he
36:02
did through. There's a pretty, I'm sorry,
36:03
three-tier practice 33 with the ones and look what he did, Even
36:07
though Dallas, Dallas was okay. So this was the Dallas Cowboys.
36:13
Yes, at the same time. As I always tell you, I am a
36:18
believer in body language and the body language said that they
36:22
had moved on until next week, they look past us.
36:26
Their Body of work said hey yeah.
36:28
Okay we're playing and we yeah, we know we want to win, but at
36:32
the same time, hey we got Tom Brady next week.
36:37
These guys aren't in it. We need to go ahead and and
36:40
shrub some things. So they really weren't playing.
36:43
Like I think that they if it was weak for a week writing for the
36:46
fcc's they were playing for. Yes, yes, they were.
36:50
But once they got punched in the mouth dead, it's like their body
36:53
language right away. But once they got punched in the
36:56
mouth there, Language looked for me to say, all right, let's
37:00
focus on on freaking Tampa Bay. Well, I think, yeah, I think
37:05
their head coach McCarthy is one of the worst head coaches in the
37:08
NFL. The fact that he has a job, I
37:10
don't get, I think I basically put him and Rivera equals, I
37:15
don't think they're good head coaches.
37:16
They just have better weapons. Mean Dak Prescott was complete
37:20
trash 1437. I mean, I don't know how many
37:23
balls he threw a pick to Kendall Fuller that he dropped in the
37:29
very next play and threw it right back out of it.
37:32
That gets it back for a pick six.
37:35
I mean, yeah, he wanted loving interception.
37:38
So he just did it as many times as he could it's just Zeke was
37:43
he had eight carries for 10 yards?
37:44
He had 1.3 average, you know, Tony Pollard, 7 419.
37:49
I mean our defense played, I mean, khaliq Hudson came in and
37:53
had I think it was seven. Tackles Danny Johnson.
37:56
Johnson had seven. Yeah, seven to pass defenses.
38:00
Khaliq had seven tackles. I mean the guys were balling out
38:04
and it's just frustrating because You keep hearing this
38:09
game meant nothing. No, I'm sorry, if you're in this
38:13
area. You're from here.
38:14
You're a fan. This game meant, everything and
38:19
Scott. Was it.
38:20
A Scott Abraham from Channel 7. Ask Ron Rivera, where was this
38:25
intensity of the week before against the Cleveland Browns in
38:28
a game? The med something.
38:29
And this was Rivera's answer. Ron.
38:32
There seemed like there was an intensity in a focus here
38:35
tonight from this teen. That was maybe lacking last
38:37
week. Why do you don't tell me?
38:39
It was lacking. Last week, they came out to play
38:41
and they played hard, they play their asses off last week.
38:43
We just got beat, don't, don't don't say those guys.
38:46
Those guys, these guys have played hard all year, okay,
38:49
don't, please don't do that. Okay?
38:51
They play their asses off today as well.
38:54
Last week, it just didn't work this week.
38:55
It did work. I'm sorry but they did not play
38:59
their asses off last week if anyone watched that game you
39:02
could see that they had zero energy.
39:04
You talk about body language constantly.
39:07
It was atrocious. So it's a very fair question
39:10
from Scott and Rivera tries to jump down his throat so he
39:14
doesn't get any follow-up questions and to try and
39:16
intimidate the reporters out there.
39:18
Sorry. Ron, you're wrong.
39:19
Your team played. Like, when you had the playoffs
39:23
on the line that you didn't even realize you could get knocked
39:26
out of at that game. And yeah, it's just it's so
39:29
frustrating because you see the potential here, you see, you
39:33
know, doc Walker, next man up mentality.
39:36
You had David Mayo come in for Jamin Davis, who had seven,
39:40
tackles and did a good job. John Ridgeway, come in for John
39:43
Allen. That did a damn good job.
39:46
I mean there was Benning Pattaya.
39:48
Hey, who the hell is that guy? Well, I've seen him.
39:52
I've seen him on the practice squad.
39:54
You have seen him and and I actually So in Camp, I liked
39:58
what I saw from him, but obviously he's behind Allen or
40:02
pain, so he wouldn't get men. But I into practice what I had
40:06
and I did like what I saw from him.
40:08
So I was happy that he was able to get a piece and it's just to
40:13
me, that's, that's coaching to you have these guys that are
40:20
quote, unquote playing for nothing.
40:22
No, they're playing for a contract, they're playing to put
40:26
film up for a 14 because there's going to be roster.
40:30
Turnover, we don't know player wise who's going to be here?
40:33
We don't know. Coach wise, who's going to be
40:35
here. But the guys that came in and
40:37
the way they stepped up, it was just such a great sight to see.
40:41
The fact that chase young played as many snaps as he played
40:45
yesterday. I was surprised to see chase out
40:48
there. Chase played 70% of snaps
40:50
Montes. 69% doron, pain, who was going to get paid played 84
40:56
percent of snap. Oops, I mean it was just so
40:59
great to see, but also to have those young guys come in to kind
41:03
of offset that and that intensity was there.
41:06
It felt like a rivalry game. And when Dallas and I missed
41:11
this, that's why I had to catch it on the rewire.
41:13
When I watch the game today. The fact that, you know, their
41:17
first pun, their pain are just completely whiffed on the ball
41:20
and we'd up getting it. And Chris, you know, loss of
41:22
homes was there and the muffed punt, you know, trust white, put
41:26
that English on that thing. Just it felt like everything was
41:29
bouncing our way other than Joey slide missing those kicks.
41:33
I mean it was just our day and maybe some of that was like you
41:36
said we punched him in the mouth and they didn't want to take it
41:40
anymore. But the guys were ready and it
41:43
was just so great to see and it's a victory Monday and I
41:48
couldn't be happier. It's just all so frustrating
41:51
knowing that we could be in the postseason but We didn't do what
41:58
we needed to do last week against a far less Superior
42:03
opponent in the Cleveland Browns.
42:05
But Dallas Cowboys. The fifth seed, we able to punch
42:08
them right in the mouth. And not only that it, what this
42:13
does for us. It can even though we're gonna,
42:18
I think we're when we say it doesn't mean anything, it
42:21
doesn't mean anything because we weren't able to go to the
42:23
playoffs. I think that's where it stops.
42:25
That's what people. It didn't mean anything.
42:27
What for all those fans who came out to the game, it meant
42:32
something for the people at home.
42:34
It watching the game, it meant something.
42:37
And what I mean by that is now we ended the season with the win
42:45
and not a loss. So any in the season with a win
42:50
just even though they say it doesn't transfer over to next
42:54
season, I feel pretty good about Our chances and what I saw but
43:00
it's last game. It just puts a it doesn't mean
43:03
anything because it doesn't transfer to 2023 later this
43:06
season but it just feels good that we were able to close the
43:11
game out with the win and to say that instead of you guys
43:15
sweeping us, we split. Yeah, that means a time and you
43:22
know, I wanted Sam to get the start because I want Sam to get
43:25
the experience. We talked about Speed of the
43:27
game. And this is actually what Sam
43:29
said during his presser Sam in the preseason, you talked about
43:33
the speed of the game, being the biggest adjustment for you.
43:36
How do you feel about that today?
43:37
Yeah. I felt like, you know, it went
43:39
pretty smooth, I thought made some good make good decisions
43:41
for the most part, but I think it's really just a credit to our
43:44
practice this week. I think we had a really good
43:46
week of practice. That gave me a lot of confidence
43:48
coming into the game. And the game was honestly slow
43:51
down for me as it went on obviously, but where it's just a
43:55
credit to Where our defense, they gave us good field position
43:59
all night, Specialties made some plays and our o-line play, their
44:03
tails off. They were moving the guys in the
44:04
running game and passing it. A good job.
44:07
Think we had a couple sacks that, you know, a couple those
44:09
around me. So, really just just my
44:13
teammates being around me, making plays all night.
44:17
And that is what translates from me for him to understand that
44:22
and to go through his progressions.
44:24
And I'm sure it was a dumbed-down Playbook compared to
44:27
what Scott Turner's been calling.
44:29
I mean, Chris Cooley has been just going after Scott Turner on
44:34
the Kevin, Sheehan podcast. And if you guys don't listen,
44:37
make sure to check that out after you, listen to us,
44:39
obviously, but Cooley calls it. Like, he sees it and it's just
44:42
basically been eviscerated Scott.
44:44
Turner saying it's, you know, some of the I'm paraphrasing but
44:47
some of the The worst play calling he's seen and, you know,
44:51
for Sam to be able to take advantage of this opportunity.
44:54
Got a long way to go, we were still 3414 on third down, but
44:58
the thing is, he has the arm. He has the attributes of a
45:04
starting quarterback. He commanded the Huddle.
45:07
There, weren't any offensive penalties?
45:09
That were ridiculous. I'm looking at penalties here.
45:12
We were to pretend you didn't see any illegal procedure
45:14
penalties and things like that. There was a false Start, but
45:18
that's not on Sam and there were two ineligible man down the
45:21
fields that's not on sale now typically a rookie quarterback
45:26
coming in you get delays a game, you get guys not lining up
45:30
properly you didn't have any of that.
45:32
So that's to me showed the maturity that he has been in
45:36
this system through all of OTAs and many Camp and got guys where
45:40
they're supposed to be. We have had so many games with
45:43
penalties here and there left and right.
45:45
And Sam took charge and It's just like I said, I need to see
45:50
more but we have an entire offseason and an offseason
45:53
program for that and hopefully your competition to see that but
45:57
kids got the arm, he's got the legs.
46:01
Does he have the head to take this pin?
46:05
And if, and when things do go wrong, how does he handle that
46:08
adversity? We talked about Carson Carson's
46:11
got it, but mentally he's got to physically but mentally, he
46:14
doesn't. And when it goes wrong, he shuts
46:17
down. Down.
46:18
So how is Sam going to handle that adversity?
46:21
Imagine take this back Clinton Portis his first Carry as a
46:25
Redskin was a house call. Sam Howells, very first
46:30
touchdown in the NFL was a freaking very first pass and the
46:35
NFL was a touchdown Teddy also major Target, you know, it's
46:41
just, it's crazy man. Did you see what Terry McLaren
46:45
did after he caught that ball and threw it?
46:47
Third in the stands are bad. So that's Sam just I guess he
46:52
didn't, you know, he's still a young buck at that point.
46:54
I didn't really complain. So they had to negotiate with
46:57
the fan that got the same. How touchdown ball because Sam
47:00
wanted a have that ball. It's his first ever and I felt
47:03
the roast last touchdown. Yeah.
47:04
So during the game while it's going on, they brought Sam
47:08
another ball to autograph so they could exchange it with the
47:12
fan that was sitting in the end zone that called his touchdown
47:15
ball. And if I I'm that person.
47:18
No. Terry you just threw this out
47:21
here. You're going to give me a Terry
47:22
McLaren Jersey. You guys are going to give me
47:24
season tickets. You're going to get me.
47:26
Look at you. Look at you.
47:28
Look at you. I need a Porsche and it's way
47:34
too much gas, but, you know, it's just, you got a little bit
47:38
of Leverage here. I'm not saying, you know, milk
47:40
Sam for, but you could know Terry a little bit.
47:42
He just gotta pee, you know, and I'm glad that Sam got that first
47:45
ball. This is actually what he said.
47:47
About his first NFL pass. Yeah, that was awesome.
47:54
Obviously I didn't didn't ever think it would happen like that
47:56
but just credit to our defense and our special teams are making
47:59
a play. Getting us the ball down there
48:01
and I try to go through my progression and Terry, Terry was
48:04
open on the shower route. So try to give them, give them a
48:07
good ball and he did the rest. So it was a super cool moment
48:12
and it just, he talks about going through his progression.
48:15
The all 22 is not out yet, but from RE watching today, there
48:19
were a couple times when he had a couple.
48:21
At Downs, when he knew nothing was there.
48:24
And those guys made, you know what they could out of nothing.
48:27
It's just it was great to see. You just hope that this
48:32
translates down the road to me, the big, what if is who was
48:39
going to call plays next year. And some of the rumor and I
48:43
don't know if you saw the article that came out.
48:45
But Sam 48 had an article in the Washington Post players coming
48:49
out against Scott Turner. Publicly, I didn't read it, but
48:53
I heard the Rumblings of it. I've been really busy doing some
48:57
other things, so I I didn't read it, but I heard about it, it's a
49:02
good article. If anyone out there hasn't had a
49:04
chance like rally to see it, Sam, 48, Sam, 40 are on Twitter
49:10
and Samm is one that beat reporters and writes for the
49:14
Post. You have players basically
49:16
coming in talking about how Scott Turner's play-calling is.
49:21
Really been suspect they don't understand what he was doing and
49:25
players are frustrated with offensive play calling.
49:28
None of the players gave their names, they wanted to be
49:31
anonymous. Yeah but Logan Thomas actually
49:34
said Logan Thomas tight, end was asked whether he thought the
49:38
play calling put players in the best position to succeed and he
49:42
said the way I put it is we got so much talent, we should be
49:45
scoring more points than we have been.
49:47
He told reporters nine, other commanders who spoke on the
49:51
condition of anonymity, Anonymity to be candid about a
49:52
coach expressed frustration with the play caller, they complained
49:56
about predictability in abandonment of the game plan
49:59
against Cleveland and Turner's tendency to deviate from plays
50:02
that are working with several players described.
50:05
As a coordinator, outsmarting himself, You know, and this is
50:10
just some of the stuff that we have been yelling and screaming
50:13
about that. A lot of the fan base has been
50:15
yelling and screaming about is Scott, Turner was an issue.
50:18
Scott, Turner is a problem, but the problem is they extended
50:23
Scott Turner this past offseason.
50:25
So Scott's contract, matches up with Ron's contract, What do you
50:30
do? You keep Scott.
50:33
Are you Chuck them who Let's just say that we're going to
50:39
have a meeting in my office and we're going to talk about some
50:41
things and then the base based upon his answers, we'll go from
50:45
there. Yeah.
50:47
And Rob Rivera and Martinez. You did not.
50:52
They're not meeting with anyone today, so the postseason press
50:56
conference is on Tuesday and we'll be watching that will cut
50:59
up clips for it and actually play those in our next show.
51:03
But Rivera is going to be evaluating his coaching staff.
51:06
Today's Black Monday, And a majority of coaches you know
51:09
that don't do well get fired today.
51:12
No, I said on Fox. I don't see Rivera going
51:14
anywhere. We've said it on our show
51:16
multiple times. I don't see that happening.
51:19
Just because of the ownership situation.
51:21
Does he have the ability to fire Scott?
51:24
Turner? I don't know.
51:26
I don't know if that has to be a damn call and his yacht tracker
51:31
was actually had an update on Dan's yacht the other day.
51:36
I got to see where that thing is, right?
51:37
Our I want to say was like off the coast of Spain.
51:40
So Dan's not around. Obviously he wasn't at the game
51:43
Tanya was there but Dan wasn't? It was just kind of interesting
51:47
but to me if you do let Scott Turner go then I give Ken's a
51:54
see, the quarterback coach and next shot calling place.
51:58
I think he's earned it. I think he's got the pedigree.
52:00
I think he can do it, and I love to see him get a chance.
52:04
He's been with the Rams and Dick.
52:06
Vermeil the A show on Turf, The Bangles, the Browns, and he
52:11
actually did a stint in the AF as a play, caller there.
52:15
So it'd be nice to see coach Sam, pz get a call-up.
52:20
I hope that's what happens if Scott's gone, because he knows
52:24
the system, he knows the offense and he knows the assets at hand
52:29
to me. That's what's most important.
52:32
Well, did the only thing that I can say is Don't be surprised if
52:42
the LA coach comes here. I'm playing.
52:45
All right here. Yeah, I have the guys on Fox 2,
52:47
that to me this morning to playing, he's not coming back
52:51
down. He's not yet.
52:52
Yeah, he's not coming back but but the fact of the matter is,
52:57
we've got an opportunity to do some things internally that I
53:02
think need to happen to show stability within your
53:08
organization and And if Scott goes okay he goes if he stays as
53:14
I said, we having a talk in my office and we're going to figure
53:18
out a way to, I'm not going to say dumb it down but just
53:23
because nobody wants to be called dumb, but I want to be
53:25
able to streamline it a little better and go that route because
53:31
I guys are smart enough to be able to pick it up.
53:33
But you got to be able to give me better situations.
53:37
If if I give you certain situations, I need to hear what
53:40
you A call and not some off-the-wall crap, you know, and
53:43
then it and then so this maybe it could be his last year.
53:47
Hypothetically, this 23 season, if by chance once we were in
53:54
this meeting and you're answering all my questions the
53:56
right way. And then after the 2003 season,
53:59
we go back and look. He said, where you answer the
54:01
question. This way you didn't do that.
54:03
So I gotta let you go since this is a performance-based leak.
54:07
Oh yeah I mean this is a actually what Ryan Fitzpatrick
54:11
said in a quote from Thursday Night Football about Scott
54:14
Turner scheme Fitzpatrick. Criticized Turner's scheme
54:17
saying it contrasted with the adaptable, player-friendly
54:20
offenses popular in the modern NFL.
54:24
This is a plug and play system. Said Fitzpatrick who played
54:27
briefly for Washington 2021. They're not going to dial up
54:30
plays and make up something that would suit Carson's game or
54:33
maybe something that would suit Terry's game to get him the ball
54:37
early. And this is what Fitzpatrick
54:38
said during the pregame before, that Bears game, that you and I
54:42
were at up there and that is the problem and that's what some of
54:46
the players were coming out, saying about Scott Turner, how
54:50
his play calling. Just does not seem fluid and he
54:52
does not scheme things up. One of the players specifically
54:55
mentioned, the Flea Flicker that Scott, Turner called after be
54:59
robbed, carry the ball for seven yards on first down and then
55:03
it's second and three, and you call a Flea Flicker in your own
55:06
territory. It's just things like that.
55:08
That show you that he is trying to outsmart himself and other
55:12
coaching. Staffs and it just has not
55:14
worked and Ron Rivera is supposed to meet with Dan Snyder
55:19
perhaps on Monday next week. So, He's going to sit down with
55:25
Dan on the yacht. I don't know, maybe he'll you
55:29
know get one of the private jets to fly him to wherever the yacht
55:32
is and then I'll hop on a helicopter, I don't know.
55:35
But they're supposed to meet next week to kind of talk about
55:38
the future and what's happening. And I'm not holding my breath
55:42
for any major coaching changes or any changes period, just
55:46
because of the ownership situation.
55:49
So up in the air. Yeah, I do hope that We have
55:55
some commitments to still do what's right from a player
55:59
situation. Because when free agency starts
56:02
and when you have to start extending guys, I mean to me a
56:05
lot of that is going to depend on who's writing those checks.
56:07
And if I am willing to buy this team, I want to make sure that
56:12
you don't, you know, clean the cupboard out so to speak of all
56:16
my good players because you didn't want to sign them and pay
56:19
them any money. So who knows what will happen
56:22
there. It's going to be interesting.
56:24
Ting. But to me, it's I don't want to
56:27
say, it's obvious. Dan is checked out, but it's
56:30
telling the fact that he wasn't at the game and Rick Snyder who
56:36
we've had on the show before, actually sent a tweet out saying
56:39
that Jack Kent Cooke wasn't at the last game as well.
56:44
So, you know, it was just kind of interesting with everything
56:48
that happened there. Yeah.
56:51
And You know, we're not going to be on the rumor mill.
56:56
But I mean the writing is kind of on the wall.
57:00
It really is and and hats off to mr.
57:02
Snyder for being there. She she stuck it out although
57:06
she wasn't at I want to say this.
57:07
Second to the Browns game at least that's what I was told.
57:11
I don't know for sure. So if she was, I would retract
57:14
that statement. But if she wasn't that's telling
57:18
man that's it is, that's telling it really isn't it?
57:21
Their time when you got to read the In between the lines.
57:24
And so, If it does happen, I want it to happen sooner than
57:31
later. I really do.
57:32
And I know you probably can't happen until March, but if by
57:35
chance February, we could find out something, you know, like,
57:39
Super Bowl week and the reporters had reporters row at
57:45
Super Bowl, and, and breaking news and all of a sudden, boom,
57:49
you know, I can see that happening.
57:51
That's what I'm hoping and it's, it's one of those things where,
57:56
you know, you can go back and forth.
57:58
If you ever sold a house and for those that have never sold a
58:00
house, can maybe get this, you go back and forth with the
58:02
buyers and the buyer basically says, I will buy your house if
58:07
you take care of these last couple of things, you know fix
58:10
the gutters do whatever else. Yeah, so maybe they because the
58:15
owners the NFL owners have to approve a deal.
58:18
The next owner meeting is March 26th, March 27th, I believe in
58:22
Arizona, so you could come to terms in February and you Say
58:28
I'm going to do all these things.
58:30
We're good to go handle that and then the paperwork officially
58:35
get signed at the end of March. So, some of those terms, some of
58:38
those things could be offer a contract extension to Durante,
58:42
you know, do this, do that to put the team in the best
58:46
situation to win next season and then when I buy the team from
58:50
you I will throw you his signing bonus.
58:53
You know, I'm not sure if legally that's what can happen
58:56
or what's going on. But we're talking Pennies for
58:58
billionaires it put. Yeah yeah.
59:00
And it's those offseason questions for me that matter.
59:04
The most. What's going to happen with your
59:07
players. What's going to happen with the
59:08
guys that you should keep the guys that you should extend 50
59:11
or options and we'll find some of that out tomorrow during Ron
59:16
and Martin mayhew's, press conference.
59:18
I mean, I think it was that press conference last year that
59:21
Martin Mayhew through Brandon Sheriff under the bus, under the
59:25
bus saying that we offer. Brandon x amount of money and he
59:30
didn't want to take it and I don't blame at that point.
59:32
You knew Sheriff was gone when Mayhew publicly did that, and
59:36
make you sense. Apologize for that.
59:38
But sometimes they talk a little too much and we always like to
59:42
say less is more but I'm hoping they're you know, just hammered
59:48
and they went spill all the beans tomorrow when they're
59:50
talking to Media. So it's gonna be interesting
59:52
man. Well I can see Ron going on the
59:55
yacht and the IMAX theater with the clicker.
59:59
You know about Scott Turner. Yeah.
1:00:02
This is Dan just to show that flea-flicker.
1:00:05
That's all you got to do. Yep.
1:00:08
He flies away in. We flask man for one play and
1:00:10
flies about again. Be, that's this could be
1:00:14
interesting to see what happens, man, but it was a great game
1:00:18
nonetheless, and we be Dallas, you know, we ended up 881, you
1:00:24
know, you hit your bet. I was actually going to take
1:00:27
that bet. How about when total?
1:00:29
But what I wanted it was six and a half and I felt good at six
1:00:33
and a half in the one, I actually got to the casino they
1:00:36
changed it to seven and a half and I didn't feel comfortable
1:00:38
seven-and-a-half looking at the schedule.
1:00:41
So I'm happy that you got yours and you hit that and you know,
1:00:44
hopefully it'll help us pay for some of those away games because
1:00:47
the away game schedule is out and we'll preview that on
1:00:50
another show because I kind of want to get your early kind of
1:00:54
predictions. Would, you know, obviously it's
1:00:56
not going to count for. Anything?
1:00:58
Because we don't know when in the season were playing them and
1:01:00
when our by weeks are in short weeks in this and that.
1:01:04
But I am curious to kind of run down that with you.
1:01:07
But with that being said, who do you give you a rally chain 2?
1:01:11
And we set our signature performance had to come from.
1:01:15
We accept the first time we both took the same player, but it had
1:01:18
to come from Sam how. But who gets your rally chain
1:01:21
for the game. Did a Sam. 85th, Brown started
1:01:28
back up. He came in and he did what he
1:01:30
needed to do. I'll be at made some mistakes,
1:01:32
but ultimately, he helped us win the game.
1:01:36
So I get goes to him. Yeah, Sam had a, heck of a game
1:01:40
around and just to not pick the same guy, you're going with.
1:01:45
I'm giving mine to Jerry. Patterson, John Myers your
1:01:48
Patterson. So happy for that young, man.
1:01:51
And I hope he put up enough film because it was the NFL game of
1:01:55
the Megan Fox. You had other people watching
1:01:57
that game. I hope he put up enough and
1:01:59
showed enough to earn a regular roster spot someplace else
1:02:04
because we don't have room for him here, we've got Antonio
1:02:07
Gibson who actually got foot surgery which is a little
1:02:11
concerning, but we've got a g. We got be robbed here and they
1:02:14
got JD mckissick. So there isn't room for Jared
1:02:17
here. I hope that Jared put up enough
1:02:20
tape and showed enough in that game to get a chance to go to
1:02:23
Camp someplace else. And get a chance to play
1:02:26
someplace else and actually earned himself a spot because he
1:02:29
can play and I would love to see him succeed.
1:02:32
I don't care if it's in burgundy and gold.
1:02:34
He's from this area and you want to root for those kids at her
1:02:37
from here. I think he'll be back too.
1:02:42
I hope he isn't for his sake because he's not going to
1:02:44
surpass those three guys. Yeah, he's not going to be R B2
1:02:49
or B3 in the system. I think he'll be back, bro.
1:02:53
That's just me. Time will tell time will tell
1:02:57
time will tell what happens with Jared.
1:02:59
It'll tell what happens with Sam.
1:03:02
You know, be interesting to see what happens with just really
1:03:06
this entire franchise because everything is show up in the
1:03:10
air. But the good news is as a fan
1:03:12
base, we get knocked down, but we're constantly getting back up
1:03:17
again. And I can't wait to do that and
1:03:20
focus on this offseason and see how these guys actually bounce
1:03:22
back from getting punched in the mouth.
1:03:24
This 2022 series. And as we're wrapping this up
1:03:28
for the first time, I've got us a shout out to the organization
1:03:32

1:03:37
