  Speaker 1: Hey guys, welcome to the Daily Play with Joy Taylor.

  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me.

  Speaker 2: Make sure you hit subscribe and follow us on social

  Speaker 2: at the Daily Play Joy Taylor. Well, I don't know
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: about you, but I was locked in to Ole Miss
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: LSU this weekend. I am all about the revenge arc.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I'm all about a villain. I am all about the
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: get back. And Ole Miss and LSU had all of
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: these elements. A great storyline heading into a legendary matchup.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: And it's really what college football is all about.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: This is the type of stuff that you really can't
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: get in professional football because the emotions are so much
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: deeper in college football when it comes to this type
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: of stuff. And Lane Kiffin has positioned himself as the
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: villain of college football for particularly for this year.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: And his return to Ole Miss was the stuff of legends.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: It did not go according to plan for Lane Kiffin
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: and LSU, obviously. And the folks in Oxford did not
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: want him to forget this one. A 32-24 win for
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: the Rebels over the Tigers that propelled Ole Miss to
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: fourth overall in the polls and dropped LSU down to 10th.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: The Ole Miss head coach, Pete Golding, said, I told
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: our team I don't think anybody came here to beat LSU.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That's not what our goal was coming in. Yes, is
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: it sweet? Absolutely.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Go enjoy tonight, but we've got to come back to work.
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: It wasn't our Super Bowl and we didn't make it
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: out to be our Super Bowl. a really good mentality
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: going into this game. I like that quote from him
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: because a job's not finished. If that is the biggest
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: thing that you do this year as Ole Miss, while
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the fans certainly will be excited about it, it will
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: have not been a successful season. There is a lot
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: of football left to be played, including the playoffs. And
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: there's a lot more that can still happen, but you
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: got to play the team that's in front of you.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And they did and they won. And it was a
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: spectacular watch.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: And while we already knew that Trinidad Chambliss was a
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: great player, this was a game for me that really
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: solidified him as one of the best players in college
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: football right now and is going to be one that
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: we look back on when we talk about how he
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: can step up in big moments.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: He was great. He was great in this game. He
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was poised, I mean, to be able to.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: command the type of energy and emotion that it takes
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: to win a game like this i'll be it at
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: home uh really shows the level of future professionalism that
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: he is going to have and he said this one
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: meant a lot more than other games the coaches that
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: were here now at lsu and some players we've just
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: been really looking forward to it i wanted this one
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: really bad as for kiffin dropped to 10th in the
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: AP poll. He admitted he's happy this game is behind them.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: He said, I'm sure I'll be criticized for saying that,
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I am. I was thinking that all week,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: especially today, that I would have said that in a
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: win or a loss, you know, it was.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Really emotional driving on the buses for a lot of reasons.
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: And I'm not saying this because I would have said
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: that anyway, since you asked, but it's really a lot
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: of emotions, emotions grateful for this place for six years.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: And went well beyond football.
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: I know sometimes I don't act like it, but I'm
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: a human too, you know. I like that he said that,
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: but obviously nobody wants to hear that from from Lane.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: And they lost. And listen, I think he took the
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: L appropriately. That's what you have to do.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: It's still early in the season, and this game certainly
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: is going to be one that is referenced a lot once.
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: We get to playoff conversations.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: And in their, both of these teams' pursuit for a
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: national championship, I think that it's going to have a
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: lot of implications. How the rest of the season goes
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: for LSU is going to be really important. Obviously, He's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: new there, but we know that the standards at LSU
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: are very different than everywhere else. And the way that
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: he has positioned himself, the amount of money that he's getting,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: it's really going to be a high-pressure situation for the
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: rest of the year for him.
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Now back to Chambliss. He was 33 of 48, 363
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: He capped off a 75-yard scoring drive with a 14-yard
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: touchdown run with 6.14 to play.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And I just think he was so incredibly poised. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: was so impressed with him.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: That's my biggest takeaway outside of really enjoying watching Ole
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: Miss get their get back. And listen, I'm not rooting
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: really one way or the other. You know, my nephew
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Mason played at LSU. I've got love for LSU. I'm
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: not normally rooting for Ole Miss. And I wasn't really
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: rooting either way. I just wanted to see a great game.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: And I think that's what we got. And knowing that
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: the emotions that the Ole Miss fans and alumni and
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: players obviously have towards Lane and the coaches and players
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: that left, like, yeah, I can get on board with that. Like,
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of course, it was messed up how he did it.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: I think even he would admit that. And it was
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to, quote unquote, get even. And for their
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: best player to step up the way that Trinidad Chambliss
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: did and have that kind of performance, it's just an
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: unbelievable story. And I feel grateful when I get to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: watch games like this and experience them in real time
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: because they're ones that we always reference back to. And
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: when they are big performances, it's just, it's good memories.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: And like I said, I wasn't rooting either way, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: it turned.
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: Out good for Ole Miss and I'm okay with that.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: Moving on to Sunday, the NFL saw a couple of
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: really big name quarterbacks and the top two picks from
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: the 2024 draft leave their games in what could be
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: significant injuries. These are stories that we are going to
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: be following very closely throughout this week, starting with the
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: bears who backed up their enormous 59 point week, one
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: output with three points and a touchdown list loss to
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: the Vikings. And during that time in the struggle, uh,
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: in the Chicago rain, uh, Caleb did something to his hamstring.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: It appeared to be a slight slip that caused Caleb
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: to go down, despite having an angle to possibly reach
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: the end zone. Ben Johnson said, we'll know tomorrow after
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: the game. Williams was in good spirits. Cornerback Malik Muhammad
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: II said, I'm worried if 18 gets hurt.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: I'm worried the whole stadium was worried, maybe the whole world.
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: but he should be good. I asked him after the
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: game if he's going to be good, and he said
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: he's going to be good. I'm worried, too. This team
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: was trending in the right direction.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: They're a team that I expected to be competing for
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: a Super Bowl this year. I don't have faith in
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Tyson Bajent to be able to keep up the level
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: of play that's necessary to keep Chicago in that conversation.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Case Keenum is the emergency third quarterback, so maybe you
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: trot him out there, but it's just such a morale
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: drop for this team and organization that was in.
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: Such a great place.
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: And they looked incredible week one, clicking on all cylinders.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: I hate that cliche, but they were. And it just
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: guts me. I hate seeing guys hurt. And particularly when
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you're talking about a guy like Caleb Williams, who has
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: just ignited this new era for a legendary organization in
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: the Chicago Bears.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: It's just awful.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And On the same note, Jaden Daniels also got hurt
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: on a fluky play in the Commander's 37-20 loss to
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: the Cowboys. With three seconds left in the half, Washington
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: went for the touchdown on the third and goal, but
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: he got tangled with the offensive line and.
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: His left arm buckled. He threw the ball away in
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: pain and tried to get up and run off.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: It dropped to the turf, was carted off the field,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: and it was a dislocated left elbow injury. he dislocated
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: his elbow last season in week nine against Seattle. He
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: turned four weeks later, but re-injured the elbow attempting to
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: make a tackle following an interception in week 14 at Minnesota.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So just absolutely sucks. It's, it's, it's devastating. It's the
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: same injury that plagued him last year. He was so
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: incredible as rookie year. He's such an exciting young player. Uh,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: It just absolutely sucks. There's really not a whole lot
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: more to say about it. The other part of this, obviously,
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: is that either of these guys, Jaden Daniels or Caleb Williams,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: missed significant time. This is going to play a major
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: factor in what we are looking at as far as
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: the NFC playoffs and who is going to come out
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of the NFC, because both of these teams were poised
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: to be incredibly competitive this year. And look, it's not over.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: We don't have the diagnosis on either one of them.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: I think we can expect for them to miss a
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: couple weeks. But it's just a devastating way to start
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: the season. We've already seen a couple of big major
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: injuries and guys missing time. Big name guys from across
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: the league.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: So we need to change the juju around and get
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: everybody on the field. Finally, we've got to talk about
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: this Chargers loss.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: They are 0-2 after a dreadful loss to the Raiders
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: at home. They briefly took a 14-10 lead early in
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: the third quarter, but never scored again. Kirk Cousins threw
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: two touchdowns to Cody White, and the game ended on
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a holding in the end zone that resulted in a safety.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So it's a home game. Raiders fans were loud in
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Los Angeles. There is a large contingent of Raiders fans
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: still in Los Angeles. Jim Harbaugh falling to 0-2 for
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: the first time in his college or pro coaching career.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: And the Chargers were heavily favored in this. He said
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: the fight was there, we're losing in the margins, and
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: that's what we have to get fixed. Look, happy for
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the Raiders, but this is a growth year. This is
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: a growth and culture year for the Raiders. This is
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: more about the Chargers. The Chargers are constantly held up
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: in the annals of the NFL as a team that
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: is always just right there. They always have the stuff.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: It's always some other kind of circumstance. And You know,
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: as a football guy, I usually buy what Jim Harbaugh
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: is selling on the field.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: This project with the Chargers does not.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Have a lot of time, in my opinion. We're constantly
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: banging this drum with Justin Herbert. He's been all in
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: the sports news this week with the conversation about how
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: he looks as a quarterback. And listen, do I wish
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that the Dolphins had Justin Herbert instead of Tua? Yes.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Does it look like it really matters at this point?
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: No. Justin Herbert has had a lot of coaching changes,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: and I understand how that can affect a young player.
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: But at some point, you've got to step up into
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the space. You've got to be compared to your peers.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: And it can't all just be like, he's super talented,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: but he doesn't have the pieces around him.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: He's got a great coach.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: He's got Mike McDaniel in the building, someone that a
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: lot of people around the league consider to be incredible.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: at a high level of the offensive mind. I don't
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: like calling people geniuses, but it's not good enough. They
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: are now 0-2, both at home. They're at Buffalo next.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: So do with that what you will. Buffalo is looking incredible,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: at least offensively, at Seattle, then Denver.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: That's a tough stretch.
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: It could get very weird. for the Chargers very, very quickly.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: The Raiders are at New Orleans, Kansas City, and New England.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: So they have a tough stretch as well. But like
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: I said, congrats to the Raiders, but the Chargers are
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: supposed to be the team that has arrived and they
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: are not looking that way. Thanks so much for joining me.
