  Speaker 3: the goal this late night here in the Fox Sports
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: Radio overnight hours. So let's get after it. Let's start
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: off with some bad news. So Anthony Richardson, Colts quarterback,
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: he dislocated his right pinky finger in preseason action against
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: the Ravens on Thursday night. So this is the Colts
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: second possession. Richardson drops back, he gets sacked and he
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: gets driven into the ground, unblocked linebacker David o'jabo. He
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: got to him. And this is how it sounded on
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: the Colts Radio network.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: Here you go, Anthony Richardson goes out of the gunball
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: me here, Hash backs to throat and he is decked
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: from the left and he has sacked and buried. He
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: took a big time hit, but more importantly, hangs on
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: to the football and the ravens with a sack off
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: the left edge and he's.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: Going off the field, Matt. He got hitped unobated.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: There was no one blocking the st The protection was
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: totally not there.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Uh, the protection was not there. He's right about that.
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: But what also wasn't there was the awareness, the zero
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: awareness from Anthony Richardson. Didn't feel the heat, didn't even
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: know there was heat. You gotta do a better job
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: recognizing the pressure. That's not just on your protection, that's
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: also on the quarterback. And it's the same old song
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: and dance with Anthony Richardson. He was the fourth overall
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: pick just two years ago and it's been a disaster.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: And this is the thing. If we zoom out for
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: a second, you ever have a friend who's just in
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: a bad relationship. We've all had that right where it's
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: just your buddy is just arguing with his girl constantly,
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: and you either think or say, like, man, they're just
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: not good together, like they need to be away from
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: each other. That's how I feel about Anthony Richardson and
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: the Colts. Not that they're arguing all the time, but
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: they're just bad for each other. If you look at
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: the Colts, how are the Colts bad for Anthony Richardson. Well,
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: they rushed him on the field as a Week one
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: starter his rookie season. He was no near ready to
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: start in the NFL. This guy had fewer than four
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: hundred passing attempts in college at Florida. Under four hundred attempts.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: That's a guy who needs seasoning. That's a guy who
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: needs to be brought along slowly, Get a ton of reps,
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: digest the playbook, folly. He needs the red shirt his
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: first year in the NFL. His rookie year should have
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: been a red shirt year. He would have been way
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: better off not seeing the field. But the Colts not
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: only got him on the field, they rushed him out
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: there in Week one. What blows my mind is if
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: you compare Anthony Richardson to a couple of quarterbacks. One,
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: let's start with who I think is the best quarterback
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: in the game right now, it's still Patrick Mahomes. If
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: you look at Mahomes in college, Mahomes through thirteen hundred
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: and forty nine passes in college, Anthony Richardson through three
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: ninety three. Mahomes attempted almost a thousand more passes in
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: college than Anthony Richardson does. It's a lot of reps,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: that's a lot of learning on the job, that's a
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: lot of seasoning. You just didn't have that with Anthony Richardson.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: And then if you'd take the comparison further, what happened
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: with both of those quarterbacks their rookie year. Mahomes sat
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: almost the entire year. He had one start at the
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: very end of the regular season against Coops Broncos. That
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: was it one start. So Mahomes started one game as
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: a rookie. Anthony Richardson started Week one as a rookie
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: with a portion of the experience that Mahomes had in college.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Made no sense. The Colts had no patience whatsoever. Put
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: them in a terrible spot. The Colts that you ever
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: have like you ever have a dog and you put
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a treat like at the end of his nose and
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the dog sitting there for a few seconds, just kind
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: of like looking at it, crosssied like, oh man, I
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: can only do this for a few secs. You realize that, right,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: And those evil owners are like wait, wait, wait, fight,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: oh not yet, not wait, and the dog's like, oh man,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I can't take it any That's the Colts. The Colts
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: are the dog with a treat at the end of
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: its nose and they're like, hey, I get and we
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: just got to start Anthony Richardson that and they threw
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: him out there and it was a disaster. Now where
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson is bad for the Colts, you can't put
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: this just on the Colts. Anthony Richardson has been freaking
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: brutal and even though he got thrown out there before
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: I think he was ready and the Colts did a
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: disservice to him, He's done a disservice to the Colts
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: as well. He's been atrocious. And not only are his numbers,
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I mean like a carbon copy of Tim Tebow's quarterback
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: numbers in the NFL. By the way, that is someone
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: you do not want to have carbon copy numbers with
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: that would be Tim Tebow. You want numbers that are
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: way better than that. I'm telling you. It's the Spider
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: Man meme where the two guys are pointing at each other.
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: That's the stat lines in the NFL of Anthony Richardson
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: and Tim Tebow. They are so similar it's staggering and
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: so like. Anthony Richardson has been that bad as a quarterback.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: And not only has it been unproductive, he's been banged
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: up all the time. He's missed seventeen games in his
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: first two seasons. Think about that. They play seventeen games
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: a season. That's thirty four games in two years. He's
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: missed seventeen of them. He's missed half the games due
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: to injury. So he's banged up, he's unproductive, and he
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: tapped out. He tapped out last season because he was tired.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: What have you heard that in the NFL A quarterback
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: was tired and was like, yeah, I need out of
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: the game. Everyone's like, what what do you mean you? Uh? Okay,
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: he tapped out of the game because he was tired.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: So he's done a disservice to the Colts as well.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: He's been bad, he's been banged up, he's tapped out,
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: and the Colts threw him out there way before he
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: was ready. They are just horrible for each other, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: unfortunately he got banged up this located right pinky finger.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: Obviously he is throwing hand and he's gonna be out
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: for a little bit of time. He wanted to get
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: back out there. He tried to regrip the football in
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: the sidelines. Wasn't working. They showed it on the on
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: the replay. It's like, you know, his hand is facing
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: north and his pinky is going a sharp east. You
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: know that's never a good sign, not good at all.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: But it's another, you know, huge speed bump, another huge
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: hurdle in the on the path of Anthony Richardson being
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: a serviceable NFL quarterback. Like even before what happened on
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Thursday with the injury, he there were reports out of
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Colts camp. You know, James Boyd covers the Colts for
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: the Athletic and he's like, hey, this guy, Daniel Jones,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: he's got a good shot to start Week one. He's
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: been the more consistent core back thus far. Again, you
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: don't want to be neck and neck with Daniel Jones,
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: who's been a complete disappointment in his NFL career, who
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: has much more experience than Anthony Richardson. But you want
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: to be further along than that guy. You want to
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: flash more in training camp. The Colts put it this way.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: They want their number four overall pick to flash more
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: than Daniel Jones, who's been a total disappointment and who
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: they signed on the cheap in a one year deal.
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: They want Anthony Richardson to be the guy. They've done
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: everything they can for him to be the guy, and
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: it's just not working out. Man, it's not happening. The
• 8:39
  Speaker 3: stats I mentioned between Anthony Richardson and Tebow, I'm not
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: going to bombard you with stats galore, but it's crazy.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: So Anthony Richardson his record eight and seven in the NFL.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: Tebow is eight and six in the NFL. Anthony Richardson,
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson has completed three more passes. Tebow had thirteen
• 9:01
  Speaker 3: more attempts. That's about as close as you can get
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: completion percentage very similar. Tebow threw for thirty one more
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: yards think over the course of like fifteen versus fourteen
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: starts plus thirty one for Tebow. Tebou had six more
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: touchdown passes four fewer interceptions. So advantage Tebow there, Tim Tebow.
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: Remember Tebo as a quarterback? Yeah, that guy plus seven
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: point five in passer rating. Tebo's passer rating career wise
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: in the NFL seven point five points better than Richardson,
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: and Tebow ran the ball more. He rushed for over
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: three hundred and fifty more yards than Anthony Richardson and
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: about the same number of starts. So it's like Tim
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: Tebow has outplayed Anthony Richardson in the NFL. That's astoundingly bad.
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: I wish I had better news for you Colts fans,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: but that's where you are. Man Like, one preseason game
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: in and this is the reality is Richardson is hurt again,
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: and now we're looking at Danny Dimes as the more
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: probable Week one starter. How are you supposed to be
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: fired up for that? Now, one other thing I will
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: mention here, and this doesn't just apply to the Colts,
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: but this applies to a lot of NFL teams in
• 10:18
  Speaker 3: the preseason. Something else that the Colts did. They were
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: playing with fire in this game. So they put Anthony
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Richardson out there. They gave him the start. They didn't
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: start the offensive line Anthony Richardson. Before this injury, he
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: at least had a shot to be the Week one starter.
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: And the Colts are like, yeah, let's rest the veteran
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: offensive lineman. You didn't have the left tackle in there,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: Bernard Reyman. You didn't have the right tackle in there,
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: Braden Smith, you didn't have the left guarden there. Quinton Nelson.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: You're playing with fire. If you're gonna put a quarterback
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: behind center who might be your Week one starter, and
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: you don't have starting offensive linemen out there, that is
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: absolutely playing with fire. And hey man, it cost the Colts.
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: And I wouldn't just say the injury occurred because you
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: had the backup right tackle in there. If anything, the
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: running back was supposed to pick the guy up. You like,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the tight end just ran a pattern and you had
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: the Ravens linebacker just scraped on that side of the
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: ball and no one blocked him at all. So it
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: is a complete mix up by the protection. But also
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, you gotta be more aware. You got to
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: recognize what's going on. I understand there are gonna be
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: some breakdowns and protection and those sorts of things will happen,
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: but Anthony Richardson hasn't earned the benefit of the doubt.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: You know, if Mahomes just doesn't see a blitz coming,
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: it's like, Okay, that doesn't happen all the time. But
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: when you've seen a steady diet of Anthony Richardson holding
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: onto the ball too long, you know, misques galore not
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: recognizing the pressure or the blitz. He hasn't earned the
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: benefit of the doubt. Gotta be way more aware than
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: he is. But it's just a matter of time. The
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: Colts are gonna move on from him. It's a complete waste.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: They spent a top ten pick, top five pick on
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Richardson and they were morons. Yeah, I can't put this
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: only on Anthony Richardson to trot him out there in
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Week one. It's just like, you guys got to have
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: a better long term approach than that. I just think
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: they set them up for failure. Now, there are some
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks that honestly are set up for failure. They're thrown
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: out there before they're ready. And some quarterbacks are good
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: enough to overcome that. And Anthony Richardson just isn't. He
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: hasn't had enough experience, didn't get enough reps in college,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: so he couldn't be thrown out there before he was ready.
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: The Colts did it, and now they're in this spot.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: Man.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: They don't have a quarterback for the now or the future.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: That's where they're at now. Coming up next, it's not
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: all bad news. Some good news from Thursday at least.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: I think this is good news, a new approach that
• 13:10
  Speaker 3: makes all the sense in the world. I'll get to
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: that coming up. I'm Brian noo In for Big Ben

  Speaker 3: I did a terrible job of, you know, giving you
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: a little sneak peekause some of the things on the
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: show tonight. So a couple of the things I've got
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: my uh my eye on. I want to do this
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: at a couple of points during the show. Every single year,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: I think about what will be the biggest curveball of
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: the NFL season, right, Like, what's gonna be the biggest
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: curveball the teams that we think are gonna be good,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: maybe one of them is bad, and vice versa, a
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: team that we think, oh, they're gonna suck, and they
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: were like, wow, what the last year, the biggest curveball
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: was the Washington Commanders. They were coming off a four
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: win season. They drafted Jaydon Daniels and then boom, they
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: win twelve games and they go to the NFC Championship Game.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: Nobody predicted that, Like the Jim Harbor nobody, no one
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: had that one. And every single year I just I'll
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: stare at the standings from last year and I'm like,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: what's the biggest curveball this season? So we'll get to
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: that a little bit later tonight. Also, I think there's
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: a bet that my guy Coop should be making, but
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: understandably will not be making. We'll get to that. Also,
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: is a great anti Coleslaw tweet I have to share
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: with you. I thought it was fantastic, top shelf, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: talking trash about Coleslaw. I'm on board. So you have
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: that to look forward to. Why would you leave? Why
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: would you leave? At this point? By the way, it
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: is time right now for the tire rack Play of
• 16:13

• 16:22

• 16:57
  Speaker 3: thing that I did a horrible job of the militia.
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: How theare I'm trying to They call it like clock integrity,
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: like you gotta take, you know, breaks at certain times.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to be all about clock integrity. I didn't
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: throw out the number, I didn't throw out my Twitter
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: handled nothing, So I don't take that as a slight militia.
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: I love hearing from you guys. We'll roll out the
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: red carpet. You got any thoughts to share, any contributions
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: to make hit us up eight seven seven ninety nine
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: on Fox eight seven seven ninety nine six six three six',
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: nine also on X you can tweet me at the
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: No show if you would like to do. So, now
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: one thing THAT i loved From thursday. Night that would
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: be The bengals playing a lot of starters in the preseason.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: Game you just heard the touchdown throw From Joe burrow
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: To Jamar. Chase they got real playing time Against philadelphia
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: On thursday. Night AND i spent a little bit of
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: time on this last, Night SO i won't repeat, everything
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: But i'll give you the Cliffs notes. VERSION i think
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: this makes all the sense in the world for The.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: BENGALS i think it makes a lot of sense for
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: a lot of teams to get their starters some, reps
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: some teams that have young, players you, know maybe a
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: prominent player LIKE jj McCarthy with The, VIKINGS i think
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: it makes sense to get him out, there get him some.
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: Reps in a game like. Situation didn't play one snap
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: in the regular season last. YEAR i think it makes
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: sense to get him out. There if you look At Joe,
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: burrow even though he had an amazing. Season another slow
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: start For Joe burrow and The. Bengals week one last,
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: year they're big favorites at home against The. Patriots remember
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: a lot of people thought The patriots would be the
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: worst team last. Season they only won four. Games, well
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: one of them was In week one on the road
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: against The. Bengals they've started so, slowly so, consistently and
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: so it makes sense to Get Joe burrow out, there
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: get your starters out, there try to establish a. Rhythm
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: if you look at The bengals, schedule it's favorable to
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: start the. Season they're at The browns and then they Host.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Jacksonville but then three of their next four games are
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: on the. Road they're at The, vikings At Coops, broncos
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: they host The, lions and then they're at The. Packers
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: three of those four games are on the, road and
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: all four of those games are challenging. Games so you
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: can't afford to start off. Slowly you can't start off
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: zero to two or one in. One you gotta sweep
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: those two. Games if you're at The browns and at
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: home against The, jags you should win those. Games if
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: you're The, bengals and if you think about last season,
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: again they lost to The. Patriots this has been a
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: growing trend with The bengals for a long time. Now Joe,
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: burrow as special as he is as AN nfl, quarterback
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: his record over weeks one in. Two in HIS nfl,
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: career it's one in. Nine his record is one in.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Nine and they faced some bum teams as, well like
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: last Year's patriots In week, one and they'll lose games at.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Home they'll lose to teams they shouldn't lose. Too they've
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: been notorious slow. Starters so instead of Using september as
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: the new, preseason how about use the preseason as the.
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: Preseason that's what The bengals are. Doing they've made an.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: ADJUSTMENT i love. IT i think it makes a lot
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: of sense for. Them And burrow looked. Great he was
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: nine for, ten one hundred and twenty three, yards two,
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: touchdowns no, picks nearly perfect passer. Rating it was one
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: fifty seven point. Five it's pretty, good pretty, good about
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: as good as you can. Do AND i think that
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: puts The bengals in a better position to start, faster because,
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: again you can't afford to start. Slowly imagine if They
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: PROBABLY i can't imagine them losing At. Cleveland that's hard to.
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: Foresee it is a divisional. Game that's hard to see
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: a loss right. There but, again crazier things have happened
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: with The. Bengals but let's say they start off slowly,
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: again they're not playing their guys in. Preseason another slow.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: Start they lose a game at home To. Jacksonville they're
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: one and, one and then they're at The, vikings at The,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: bengals at The Broncos, lions and then at The. Packers it's, Like,
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: holy all of a, sudden you're looking at sub five
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: hundred real. Quickly you want to avoid.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: That.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: ABSOLUTELY i think it makes. Sense get your Mar chase out,
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: there Get Yo burrow out, there get the ones out,
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: there let's get into a. Rhythm it's go time, here right.
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Like So i'm all for. IT i think it makes
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of sense what The bengals are doing. Here
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: some other teams they're trotting out well known. Guys arizona
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: is throwing out A Kyler. Murray he's gonna get some preseason.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: Reps Cam, ward the number one overall, pick makes all
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: the sense in the world for him to get out.
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: There think about this With. Burrow i'll throw one more
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: number out at you and then we'll get to the. Calls.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: Here Before thursday night's preseason, game where The bengals were
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: playing The, Eagles Joe burrow had only thrown eight preseason
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: passes in his five year. Career he threw ten On Thursday.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: Night he threw more preseason passes On Thursday night than
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: his previous five years in THE. Nfl he only had
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: fifteen snaps total in his preseason career Before Thursday. Night
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: SO i think it makes, sense BUT i have to dig.
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: Up i'm kind of Curious Joe burrow's, numbers and they
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: couldn't been. Good it was a low scoring game against
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: The patriots last. YEAR i, SAID i was only going
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: to give you one. Number So i'm looking up numbers
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: on the. Fly i'm a compulsive liar over. Here i'm
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: just addicted to. Numbers i'm, like, oh more numbers. Here, yeah,
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: okay Here's Joe. Burrow not, terrible but twenty one for twenty.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: Nine good completion percentage about seventy two percent in sixty four,
• 23:01
  Speaker 3: yards no, touchdowns no. Picks that was his stat Line week,
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: one last year against The, patriots again A patriots team
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: many thought would be the worst in the. League they
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: only won four games and that was let me see real,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: fast that was the lowest amount of yards That burrow
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: threw four in any game last. Season there's only one
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: other game where he was under two hundred yards. Passing
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: SO i don't think it's a coincidence that him playing
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: the preseason at. All and, wow what do you, know
• 23:32
  Speaker 3: slow start yet, Again let's change, that you, know let's change,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: it move in a different. Direction The, bengals by the,
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: way they started off one in. Four they lost for
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: their first five, games SO i like this change in their.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: Approach like. It i'm a. Fan all, right let's go
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: out to the. Militia let's get out some calls. Here
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: mike is In, texas has some preseason. Thoughts what's going, On,
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Mike you're On Fox Sports.
• 23:56
  Speaker 8: Radio how are you?
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: Good?
• 23:59
  Speaker 5: BUDE i think the, preseason.
• 24:05
  Speaker 8: Like non starters starting in pre season is cool to
• 24:08
  Speaker 8: thegaesst fantasy players a chance to look, at you, know
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: other players that you know they've been pat mahowns might
• 24:15
  Speaker 8: be falling, off so it gives them a chance to
• 24:17
  Speaker 8: look at them to the quarterbacks to Get but as
• 24:20
  Speaker 8: far as like a business standpoint and a team LIKE
• 24:23
  Speaker 8: i think you should start at least your starters for
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: one or two sets at the beginning of the first
• 24:28
  Speaker 8: preseason game and see how they. Do because a lot
• 24:32
  Speaker 8: of teams are just they're they're resting their starters for
• 24:34
  Speaker 8: three weeks and then expect them to be ready to
• 24:37
  Speaker 8: go week one of the regular, seasons and we find
• 24:40
  Speaker 8: out a bunch of dudes they're getting hurt and all.
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: THAT i think that Seeing Joe burrow And Jamar chase connecting,
• 24:47
  Speaker 8: early especially in preseason week, one is a good sign
• 24:50
  Speaker 8: for The bengals that, hey these dudes is left off
• 24:52
  Speaker 8: right where they picked up or picked up right where
• 24:55
  Speaker 8: they left.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Off yeah now. Here, YEAH i appreciate you checking. In
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: it's it's one of these. Things it just makes me
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: think about what preseason has turned. Into it's just become
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: very trendy to not play your ones in. PRESEASON a
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: lot of teams followed. That there was a, time you,
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: know a little while ago where McVeigh was the first
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: guy to do, this and it's, like, wow that's a little.
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: Different he's not playing any of his. Starters like at
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: first it was maybe a, guy it might have been their,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: quarterback he's not going to, play and then now it
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: was a lot of, guys we're not going to play
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: the entire. Preseason and it's just become a growing. Trend
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: and the, Thing i'll, say real, fast we'll get right
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: back out to the. Calls but the thing it makes
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: me think, OF i get, it but it's blown out of.
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: Proportion there have been over the years some injuries to
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: some prominent, players right they've gone down. Early maybe it's
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: a top draft pick gets. HURT jj McCarthy got hurt last,
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: year top ten, pick got hurt in the preseason. Game
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: didn't play a regular season game all year because of that.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Injury and they turned into like was that really? Necessary
• 26:01
  Speaker 3: did you really need to get him out? There was
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: it gonna make that big of a. Difference that's how
• 26:06
  Speaker 3: it's looked, at WHICH i, get BUT i think it's
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: just blown out of. PROPORTION i think you could play
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: that game with. Anything it's not just preseason. Games it's joint,
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: practices it's training camp. Practices it's Like Rashaun slater of The,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: chargers their left, tackle he got hurt in practice On.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Thursday no one's gonna be, like why was he? Practicing it's,
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: like what do you? Mean because he has to. Go
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: he gotta, practice you gotta ramp up to the, season
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: you gotta get in football, shape you gotta HIT i,
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: mean you gotta get. Ready and for whatever, reason it's
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: just turned into the preseason is the only thing that
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: a lot of people circle and, say so why did
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: he need to be out? There did this injury even
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: need to take? Place that's the way it's thought about
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: quite a. Bit but they don't say that about training camp.
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: Practices they don't say that about joint you, know practice
• 27:00
  Speaker 3: IS i just don't know why it's looked at so much.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: DIFFERENTLY i just look at all of it as one
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: big group of ramping up toward the regular, season right, like,
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: yeah preseason game is a bit of a dress. Rehearsal
• 27:15
  Speaker 3: at least it's a game like game ish, situation, right
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: so that helps. YOU a lot of teams use that
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: as a step to get ready for the regular. Season
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: and NOW i don't know why it's looked at as
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: something completely different than joint practices or training camp. PRACTICES
• 27:34
  Speaker 3: i think it's just another way to get ready if
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: you so. Choose let me get to dre my, Guy
• 27:40

• 28:41
  Speaker 9: Unfortunate never want to see, it as you, Noted and
• 28:44
  Speaker 9: this whole idea about why do you play the preseason,
• 28:46
  Speaker 9: game so on and, forth because they're important in terms
• 28:49
  Speaker 9: of building and establishing your. Roster AND i know in
• 28:52
  Speaker 9: the brave new world of analytics and saber, metrics all
• 28:55
  Speaker 9: these number, crunchery, well you know the percentage is a
• 28:57
  Speaker 9: percentage of that you look at all time. Coaches i'm
• 29:00
  Speaker 9: talking about The Bill parcells the, world The Bill belichicks
• 29:02
  Speaker 9: of the. World, okay you play in the pre you
• 29:05
  Speaker 9: have to get, ready and the veterman football players echo,

• 29:12
  Speaker 9: know a lot of. Us you know the tough injury
• 29:15
  Speaker 9: season engine injury. Tonight you know it's. Graphic all the
• 29:17
  Speaker 9: rest of you you never want to see. That but
• 29:19
  Speaker 9: when you're playing an inherently violent, game those things are
• 29:24
  Speaker 9: going to. Happen it shouldn't, persuade it shouldn't dissuade teams
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: from utilizing the preseason to be. Successful so specific to The.
• 29:30
  Speaker 9: BENGALS i hope this is. HELPFUL i want to See
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: Joe burrow in the, playoffs but the odds are for
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: me in that in that, DIVISION i think THE Cincinnti
• 29:38
  Speaker 9: bengals are the odd team. Out thanks taking the.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Call yeah you got. It there he Is. Dre you,
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Know drey just gets to his take and then he moves,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: on which is. Fine that's how he gets. Down i'm so.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: Curious what is dog's name? Is you, know what kind
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: of dog is? It what's the poocha's?
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: Name?
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Curious he, was he was weighing. In he had preseason thoughts,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: too getting him out. There, yeah, yeah, no but it's, look,
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: man It's i'll say. THIS i don't want to hammer
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: this into the, ground but when a player gets hurt
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: in a preseason, game it's. UNFORTUNATE i don't look at
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: it as, oh that was, unnecessary that was, Stupid like
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: that's the way it turns into quite a, bit AND
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: i just think it's. Unfortunate. MAN i think it's another
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: way to ramp up toward the regular. Season think about a, treadmill, Right,
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: like if you go to the gym and you put
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: the treadmill, ON i don't know nine or ten miles per.
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Hour let's say somewhere between eight and ten miles per.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Hour you hit it, like all, right. Go it doesn't
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: just immediately within one second go to that, speed you
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: know WHAT i. Mean it slowly kind of ramps up.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: There that's what training camp, is that's what joint practices,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: are that's what preseason games. Are it's ramping up to
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: week one and you have to do. That like if
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: you think, That i'll put it this, way there's not one.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Team maybe it's The rams that they don't play their
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: guys mostly in the, preseason but there isn't one team
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: that sits their guys out of. Everything they don't sit
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: them out there all. Right no joint practices for, you
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: no preseason games for, you no training camp practices for,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: you nothing like we just want to put you in
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: bubble wrap Until week one rolls. Around there isn't one
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: team doing. That they're all ramping up toward week, one
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: and the approaches differ a little. Bit some guys play
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: in the, preseason some guys. Don't from team to, team
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: but all of it is just ramping up to ward week.
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: One AND i don't know WHY i don't know. WHY
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: i don't want to go on a whole tangent, here
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: BUT i don't know why it's become so. Fashionable if
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you want to expand, this like from THE nfl preseason
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: to load management in the, end man you talk about
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: embracing all facets of load, management some of these people
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: act like you're out of your. Mind you're a monster
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: if you think about playing your guys back to back.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: GAMES i don't know why it's become this fascination with
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: resting and sitting games out and not playing in the
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: preseason as if it's all good all across the. Board
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: i'm not going to be an idiot and tell you
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: there aren't some. Advantages there. Are there are some advantages
• 32:35
  Speaker 3: to doing those, things either setting a basketball player out
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: resting him a game, here game. There there's some good
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: that comes from. That but it isn't all good all
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: across the. Board it just. Isn't why do you, think
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: again the treadmill, thing think about The clippers or some
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: of these teams that have all these injuries in the.
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: Playoffs why do you think that happens because they're not
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: using the regular season to ramp up toward the, playoffs
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: they're sitting out too. Much and then when they put
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: the treadmill on nine miles per hour or whatever the nine,
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: setting and they try to just jump on the treadmill
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: and keep, pace they. Can't they haven't ramped up. Enough
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: like that's what. Happens so this idea that it's just
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: all good all across the board to sit out games
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: in THE nba left and, Right i'm not talking just
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: like here, there or we're talking a decent, amount like
• 33:31
  Speaker 3: A Kawhi leonard. AMOUNT i just don't think it's all
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: good all across the. Board but that's what it's. Become
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: it's Like Tom. Thibodeau they act Like Tom thibodeau is a.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Monster he's a maniac for playing his guys huge. Minutes
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: AND i JUST i don't go along with.
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: That.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: MAN i just don't think it helps you all across
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: the board to sit guys. Out there's some. Advantages it's
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: not nothing but a sea of, advantages no disadvantages. Whatsoever
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: that's not, true just not. True let me think it one.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: More we got to do. One mike is In. CASEY
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: i just Saw mike In texas AND i Saw i'm,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: like are we Got mike in case Different, mike what's going?
• 34:09
  Speaker 5: On, Mike, Hey, brian thanks for taking a. CALL i
• 34:12
  Speaker 5: want to BEFORE i get to my, COMMENT i just
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: want to let you know that whenever you fill in For,
• 34:16
  Speaker 5: ben and we all Love, ben, right there is no
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: drop off in the show because a lot of times
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: you'll get a guest host and it's just not the.
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: Same it's there's no drop off in the in the
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: talent or in the conversation when you fill in For.
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: Ben so let me get that out of the way.
• 34:32
  Speaker 5: First that's, Cool.
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: MIKE i appreciate, that, Man thank you very much for.
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: That as a as a former high school and college football,
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: PLAYER i think THE nfl last two seasons set a
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: record for the amount of hamstrings and torn achilles. Injuries.
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: Yeah now does that coincide with when they change the
• 34:54
  Speaker 5: collective bargaining agreement where they don't hit in pads in
• 34:57
  Speaker 5: OTAs and they don't really go two days anymore like
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: they did back in the nineties and the early two,
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: thousands where you're not building up your stamina and your
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: strength and you're apt to have more. Injuries think about.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: It equipment's gotten, better playing surfaces have gotten better, training weight,
• 35:16
  Speaker 5: rooms locker rooms have gotten. Better why are all the
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: injuries happening all of a Sudden, yeah because you're not
• 35:23
  Speaker 5: playing full preseason games. NOW i can make the argument
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: that when THE nfl schedule used to be sixteen regular
• 35:30
  Speaker 5: season games in four preseason you would set all your
• 35:33
  Speaker 5: starters out the last game because they had two and
• 35:36
  Speaker 5: a half games to get acclimated to routes and defensive
• 35:40
  Speaker 5: schemes and that kind of thing they didn't want to
• 35:43
  Speaker 5: get her before the season. Opener i'll give you that.
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: Argument but when you only have three preseason games now
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: and the possibility of it will only be in two
• 35:53
  Speaker 5: in the near, future going to an eighteen game schedule
• 35:55
  Speaker 5: Like Roger goodell wants to, do you almost have to
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: play your stof because it's different when you're hitting another
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: colored jersey than when you are you, know The chiefs
• 36:07
  Speaker 5: are just playing each. Other it's nice to Go saturday and, say,
• 36:10
  Speaker 5: hey we're going to play against The. Cardinals we're going
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: to play a different, scheme a different a different whole different.
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: Organization you almost have to in if you have new,
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: players they don't they. Won't you, know every team has
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: turnover nobody's the same team offensively or defensively the next. Year,
• 36:27
  Speaker 5: yeah there's always. Changes So i'm in favor, of you,
• 36:32
  Speaker 5: know whether It's Josh allen Or mahomes or especially People Anthony,
• 36:36
  Speaker 5: richardson get out there and get as many reps as you.
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: CAN'T i actually think it's smart That Joe, burrow you,
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: know through ten passes, tonight because you're, right one in
• 36:45
  Speaker 5: nine in his first five, years in the first two
• 36:48
  Speaker 5: weeks of the. Year they've missed the playoffs the last two.
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: Years brother and man as A chiefs, fan great. Bye.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: YEAH i mean.
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: We've taken care of The ravens and we've taken care
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: of The, bills and we've ended their season four in
• 37:00
  Speaker 5: the last five. Years we do not want to See
• 37:02
  Speaker 5: cincinnati for some. Reason they are you, know they're In,
• 37:06
  Speaker 5: mahomes that they're in The andy's. Head that we don't
• 37:08
  Speaker 5: want to see The.
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: Mangles, yeah no.
• 37:10
  Speaker 5: Doubt, yeah that's just that's just my argument for for
• 37:14
  Speaker 5: the players to play in. Preseason, uh just you, know
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: we've had more injuries and LIKE i, said everything else is.
• 37:20
  Speaker 5: Better why are why are we having so many torn
• 37:23
  Speaker 5: achilles and hamstrings and and you, know knees and things
• 37:27
  Speaker 5: of that. Nature, yeah that's the POINT i wanted to.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Make for no, DOUBT i appreciate, That. Mike, yeah IT'S
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: i think there's absolutely a common link between that happening
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: with with players sitting out that that was the the.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: EPIC i have to look it, up but, Uh stan
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Van gundy put a tweet out there essentially saying What
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: mike just. Said you, know we used to practice, More
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: we used to have THESE nba players play more, games
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: and now that they're sitting, out we got all these hamstring,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: issues we got these lower body. Issues that was the
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: famous kd like. Quote tweeted it and said stand spitting
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: And stan thought That katie, disagreed but he's, Like, STAN
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: i agree with, you but absolutely there's something to that for.
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: Sure all, right come it up. Next there's a bad
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: take that is just waiting for someone to make, it
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: and thankfully it hasn't been mentioned. Yet i'll tell you
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: about that coming. Up I'm brian though in For Big
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Ben Mallor stay with us right here On Fox Sports.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Radio be sure to catch live editions Of The Ben
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: Maller show weekdays at two Am eastern eleven. Pm.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: Pacific it Is Fox Sports. Radio I'm brian though in
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: For Big Ben. Malor So i'll try to explain this
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: as easily as possible because this could be kind of,
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: confusing But i'll try to present it in a way
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: where you know it at least makes. SENSE I i'm
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: surprised a bad opinion isn't floating out there right. Now
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: i'm surprised you haven't turned on sports radio and heard
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: this bad. Take, okay now let me be. Clear i'm
• 39:02
  Speaker 3: not making this. Take this is not my. ARGUMENT i
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: actually think the opposite of What i'm about to. Say
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: i'm just surprised someone somewhere hasn't said these. Things so
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: the story is The lions have lost one of their
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: players for the, Season Ennis. Rakestraw. So he was a
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: second round pick last. Year he's a. Cornerback it's probably
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: gonna get more playing time this. Season had a shoulder.
• 39:27
  Speaker 3: Injury he's out for the. Season he Left sunday's practice
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: early to be, evaluated and he had. Surgery he's, done
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: done for the. Season i'm surprised that someone somewhere hasn't
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: said Does Dan campbell push his guys a little too?
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: Much that's not my thought, again, Right this is not my,
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: opinion but in this day and age OF nba load,
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: management in this day and age of don't play preseason,
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: games it's. Evil you're you're really taking a chance. There
• 40:01
  Speaker 3: you're juggling steak knives by playing your guys in the.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: Preseason in this day and, age aren't you a little?
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Surprised think of The lions' injuries last. Year they were
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: a mash. Unit they had so many dudes banged up
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: out for the, season and then you get like training camp.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: Injuries i'm surprised someone hasn't been, like is just The
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: Tom thibodeau of THE? Nfl Dan campbell with his? Grit
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: is there a downside to?
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Grit?
• 40:29
  Speaker 5: Like i'm not.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Making that argument at. ALL i don't believe any of those.
• 40:33
  Speaker 3: THINGS i think it's. FOOTBALL i think it's an incredibly
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: violent physical, sport and injuries. Happen some years you have
• 40:41
  Speaker 3: really bad injury. Luck other years you're blessed with better injury.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Luck SO i don't believe those things at. All About Dan.
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: CAMPBELL i think he's doing a great job and it's
• 40:51
  Speaker 3: just unfortunate that there have been so many. Injuries But
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: i'm surprised someone somewhere hasn't just taken that and run with.
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: It he's the TIBs of THE nba are the tips
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: of THE. NFL i, mean hopefully we don't hear, that
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: But i'm surprised we. Haven't coming up, Next this has
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: gotten completely out of. Control
