PMS 2.0 1664 - 2nd CFP Rankings Reaction, Watt Wednesday with JJ Watt, Rece Davis, Kevin Hayes, In the Trenches with AQ Shipley, Everything DB with Darius Butler, & AJ Hawk

Hello beautiful people and welcome to our humble abode the draft Kings, Thunderdough on this. Thank you, vets November 11th this sports program begins now Football is the absolute greatest. We're so incredibly lucky that we get a chance to chat about it And there's a lot going on in the football world the trade deadline hit yesterday at four o'clock There was some massive names and massive moves made while some names stay home What does the future look like for all the teams that were wheeling and dealing yesterday? We'll dive into all of that also last night the college football playoff committee came Together and put out their second rankings. There's a lot to discuss there. There's a lot that is potentially telling us how these Folks who take their hats off before heading into the committee meeting room are judging teams and how they will judge them Down the stretch. Congratulations. All e-squads. They're currently projected to be in the college football playoff 12 team It's the last year of that Utah jumps in number two. Obviously undefeated certainly worthy of that particular distinction and then UCLA Hi, why are they at four and Alabama's above them? Obviously the CFP committee last week told us They liked Alabama a lot Alabama handles LSU Kaelin DeBoer and the boys are buzzing at UCLA Not getting as much respect as some people would think they're ranked at a lowly four in the entire country and the CFP Congrats to them and then there's a lot of distinction about who is where and why down this entire side Reese Davis will join us in about 19 minutes or so Hockey had a huge night last mm-hmm mostly Conor Halibuk United States hero Halibuk stopped every puck 100 shots for Canada was not enough Olympic gold medalist Conor Halibuk celebrated in America after winning a gold medal Returns to his team in Winnipeg the Jets and for some reason one reason or another it ends up not working out immediately after the Olympics He has to be released from their team traded from their team to somewhere else maybe in the United States of America He does get traded to New Jersey inevitably after it gets very ugly his team the New Jersey Devils although he was not playing Return to Winnipeg last night and the crowd the crowd did not move on No, no Those Canadian chance they got very clever brains very clever minds and they were all kind of together last night It seemed like in saying we hated this guy. We don't like this guy. We're thankful. He's not here But speaking of not being here. He wasn't playing wasn't on the bench. He's actually in the locker room So the team that was out there being you know chanted at wasn't even Halibuk who the chance were intended to wear where's Conor You know a lot of those card, you know they were saying some of you know some other stuff about how he believes what he believes who he is And that's a huge storyline. And it's a great way to get in old hazy Kevin Hayes a man of played in the NFL for 12 years to stop by later in the hour Not only talking about the Halibuk return to Winnipeg, which we love I mean anytime a fan base comes together and athletic competition to chant and do stuff like that I certainly appreciate it the trade that sent Halibuk out of Winnipeg to New Jersey brought back two pretty important pieces Nico Dawes goalie he played last night gets the win and then Dawes in Mercer mercer scores two goals last night he got traded to for so bad night for Conor Halibuk I would say in in total New Jersey devil's chose not to play Conor even though allegedly Conor wanted to play in it So just a bad night there for the Halibuk such as business you move forward hazy will tell us all about that and on this glorious day Obviously before we dive into any of these real conversations We have to say thank you so much to the vets out there who have served we appreciate the fact that there's people who walk amongst us Who are from the same towns that we're from walking the same land that we're from that will sign a line that will say like hey if we go I'll go don't want to necessarily but if we have to in our country needs us We will be the ones that will do it such we appreciate the hell out of you if you see somebody today that served or if you know See somebody may be buying some food or coffee. Let's go ahead and pick up a coffee for the vets not only today But every day and say thank you. You know the marine celebrated. I think they're 250 first birthday yesterday I had an incredible opportunity to learn a lot about the Marines through the mosquito bowl prop prep I'm sorry going down to Paris Island multiple times getting chance to shake a lot of hands learn about the history It's just even more hammered home like you don't have to be pro war to be pro warrior and I think veterans day is a good day to showcase that To all those who have done it for the United States of America. We appreciate the hell out of you the talks of tables here at Boston Conor and at Thai Schmidt Thai I will might be sneaking into the college football playoff. You got to be pretty excited about that sir. Yeah, I am but I also a little worried I don't I don't know if they go undefeated if they win out if they're actually gonna get in They're gonna need a lot of help from some other teams as well But it is nice seeing that you know if they're at 21 last night Then it is like hey that you are not getting in if you go undefeated As of right now they need a little bit of help But yes, they could slide in and be that 11th team in there. Yeah excited. The Boise State is the highest ranked group of six We're heading out there this out What I mean we just can't we just can't be doing it anymore I know we're gonna go to 24 next year, but wouldn't everyone like it a little bit more if they got beat this weekend If there were no group of six teams in the top 25 and we got the instead of Hey, I know that they're technically the 12c But this is we view them as the 24th best team in the country. Well then how the elders that makes sense if we're trying to pick the 12 best teams in the country So each conference champion Punches their ticket highest ranked group of six they also get it So there's five spots already taken out of the 12 There's only seven at large bids if you will for the CFP committee to piece together in that 12 seed what we have seen over the last few years No group of six team has been able to crack higher than that has taken a spot of a team You know like Notre Dame last year for instance Yeah, who wants who would want to see that, you know, who would have wanted to see Notre Dame maybe give I think it was Oregon You know Oregon who the hell they play like Liberty or Jam you and you covered. I'll have you know Well, the reason why they covered maybe is because projected spreads for the first round here from our friends are draft Kings Best sports book on earth if you agree to be responsible Please come join us and if you're a VH available coast to coast shot the draft Kings. They sent us projected spreads if these games were to happen Only 21 and a half points spread between Notre Dame and boys. You have it. Okay Can't have it in the playoffs the playoffs Indiana Tennessee one and a half point spread Yes, good game. That's a football game Keep going Kentucky Texas. That's two SEC teams Texas 14 and a half point favorites. Are you okay with that? Are you okay with Kentucky getting it? No, it's a multiple point. No, I'm not a score spread No, I'm not cuz Kentucky just got their asses beat. They got a couple tough games down the stretch I think you know everything. I don't think Kentucky's gonna get it. They've had a hell of a year, but I don't think they're gonna get it I've had a lot of respect for Kentucky. I picked Kentucky this past weekend I didn't entire film on why I thought Kentucky was gonna crazy crazy what they're got 12 year NFL vet Super Bowl champion AQ Shipley nine year NFL vet Darius Jay Butler is here as well Seems like he has a little different tone about boys. He's state than he does about two SEC teams with a 14 and a half points Doesn't it? It's honestly it's hard to disagree with him But I don't love boys see I do love yeah the first term baby. Yeah boy see we can't wait to get out there for this weekend's college game Day the college football ranking process and how they go about doing it and getting to these 12 teams is just pretty insane Restavist will break it all down because he had a chance to chat with 100 year check immediately after the rankings Respondent for a few minutes. He gave us some answers. It's a lot of who knows what knows And I just hope that the people in the room have a good eyeball on who the best 12. Sorry 11 teams are thank you Because it's not the best 12 teams It's the 11 best teams and then like the 24th best team in this case I don't like what you're doing. How does that make any sense why are we still doing it. We just forget what happened last year and The year and every other year we've done this it's gonna be different this year cuz this year's boy see team I'm believe they almost got beat by Texas state two weeks ago, but see also Texas state at a football team Well see also they almost beat a couple big day. I mean look at who boys see on this way college football is crazy Boise's got a squat yet organ. I think they give him problems early and everybody thinking themselves Wait a minute is Oregon dead. Well, maybe Boise was just good. Boise is good. Oregon wasn't playing the best That can happen in college football boys. He has a chance to win a first round playoff game They do I think out of all the teams are not at Notre Dame, but they do well No, they're really difficult nonetheless. We'll talk to Reese Davis in a bit Talks the table Boston Conor thought the Patriots are gonna get a running back big news out of yesterday's trade that one day Jonathan Taylor remains with the Indianapolis quotes now There is still obviously the conversation about him maybe getting traded before next draft There's still a conversation of him maybe be in a part of the rebuild that is gonna happen in Indianapolis I thought if we couldn't get a one for him, we should not trade him I'd been saying that pretty loud. I heard a lot of people on TV say a second and a fifth is a really good hall for Jonathan Taylor I assume that would be how it would be viewed But are you talking about for a team that doesn't have a one? This upcoming draft we should not be giving away every single one of our good players While not having a number one pick still like I just think that would have been a tough pill to swallow for a team That's gonna have to you know take a lot of punches over the next couple years So Jonathan Taylor still on the squad are we gonna rebuild around Jonathan Taylor? No, is Jonathan Taylor gonna be a piece that's still on the team? Potentially great piece to have if you're anybody that wants to run an offense through the offensive line Now Grover Stewart allegedly he was offered the quotes were offered up a pretty good package. Maybe even more than what they got for DeForest Buckner for him to leave. They turned that down. I love Grover Stewart. I'm thankful Grover Stewart's an Indianapolis coat. I'm excited for him to be maybe a part of the rebuild or whatever, but it's like, I probably would have taken that, if I'm gonna get more for Grover Stewart than I got for DeForest Buckner, I'm probably gonna take that deal. But I was having Grover Stewart still, and I still haven't Jonathan Taylor, no matter what they end up doing, whether it's trade after the season before the draft, or we're rebuilding with these guys, I think we end up where we're at. Now, there was a lot of chatter about the deals that we did make when we made them, what we ended up getting, what we don't end up having. Josh Downs getting traded there at the last hour or so to the Kansas City Chiefs. Feels like that's been in works for a couple of weeks now. Even before Josh Downs may be even announced that he wanted to be traded, or wanting requested a trade. Josh Downs, incredible football player for us this year. This year he's been playing better than he's ever played with how bad we have looked. Josh Downs has been playing remarkable. Contract situation happening, brewing, gonna have to figure that all out. But Josh Downs going to a team that needs him is good for him, great for him, great for the Chiefs. I didn't like him putting out a thank God tweet. - Yeah. - Well, this was the next tweet was, I had a great time, I had a great time, thank you, Andy, I appreciate that. First tweet out was, oh, thank God. That was-- - That's good tweet. - Hey, Josh, we appreciate it here, bud. Okay, we need to thank Jesus Christ 'cause you're getting the hell out of town. We're very thankful. Usually people are a little emotional. Here's the people-- - He was, he was. - He's emotional right there. - Yeah, he was, he was emotional. - Jeffrey Simmons won in the building. - That's what Jonathan Taylor wanted to post too. - Yeah, I mean, D-Buck dropped to his knees. It's basically-- - The forest buster said he dropped to his knees and thank God, whenever he got traded to San Francisco, four hours for a fourth round picked. I would like to let these guys know, has a paying season ticket order. - Mm-hmm. - Okay. - Tax payers, well. - Mm-hmm. - Tax payers here of anyapolis. We're grateful for the forest buster. He's really good football. It's drafted up for us. Josh Downs, unbelievable this year. It's been so good. He's got hated us, huh? - Oh, yeah. - No. - He's got hated our city. turns out, hey, the coach, they drop it in and leaves it, they get the Lord that they're getting the hell out of town for. I got really scared. You've been in buildings. You've been on in a building that's going to the Super Bowl and you've been in a building that's been over and you know at this point in the season, it gets tough. It starts getting dark at 430. It just gets cold. It's shitty all the way around. So yeah, you go from this to a nice place. You compete for a championship, franchise quarterback, everything in place. Yeah, that's a life, it's life changes. Yeah, it Kansas City is a beautiful place. Okay, I hope Georgetown's has a great time. Not as nice as Indy. I know that for a fact. We live here, we know everything about here. If we live in Kansas City, knew everything about Kansas City and everywhere you're supposed to go, maybe a pretty comparable city's though. Yeah, pretty, pretty comparable place. It has this way better city. Way better city. I don't want to bury Kansas City because I don't know. Better football too. Yeah, that's the death. Winning football games, better barbecue. Josh, he's been on team. Maybe he's trying to win some games for us. So is that how I'm supposed to feel? Is that how I'm supposed to feel? Cause I don't feel that way. I'm very thankful. Let's move off my personal feelings. It's a $250,000 a year of season taking order. You should be happy he's gone too. If he didn't want to be here, good riddance. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, Jonathan Taylor didn't really want to be here. No, no, no, no, no. He thanked everybody. No, assuming he was leaving, he was gone. That was just in case. Yeah, of course. We wanted it. He was chasing pick sixes. He's still wants. He's been sent all right. Yeah, he's trying real hard. You just got to accept that the Colts right now are the 2016 bronze. We are a defeated year. There we go away from then beginning a rebuild. How's running the defeated year next year? Really, whoever. I don't think it even matters. Who's out there? A lot of people judge. Yeah, I want the guy who's chewing on his tongue, being the head coach. And then I want them to also tell him when he gets hired. Hey, by the way, don't forget Josh McCollum is going to be the head coach next year after you. So do whatever, man, we don't give a shit. And then you know what I also want. I want to be GM of the Colts next year. Okay. I want to lead those boys. Maybe that'll be a part of the season ticket package. I'll be able to work it in there each each. Yeah, each sweet gets to be GM for a week. That's a great idea. Okay, we're going to figure it out. We're in a good spot. We've got a lot of key pieces. Jonathan Taylor, not necessarily a guarantee to be part of next season. Okay, with the Colts, but potentially, which keeps us excited. Now for the rest of the season, what's it look like? Let's not get him hurt, right? Yeah, but it's not what we shut him down. You get rid of Quentin Nelson, you get rid of our good players. He's still there. What's that mean? Well, we got depth at the offense line, which I'm excited about. I'm pumped to see these guys go out there and compete. We got what? Depth. I mean, we got guys on the roster. There's guys. Have you seen our wife receive a room? Reggie Wayne says he's going to play. He's a coach. That's huge. He's coach. Okay, let's move to the big move, though. Kurt Cousins goes to the Minnesota Vikings. Congratulations to all parties. I think we're very pumped up for Kirk and we're pumped up for the Vikings. Now, he wasn't able to win a Super Bowl with the Vikings before this team. Will he be able to the defense? It's certainly storybook. It is something that should go down into annals of the NFL for how it's going to potentially impact how every other defense in the league is going to play over the next few years as they try to figure out this crazy blitzing concept that keeps mental warfare on the offense aside, but on their side simplicity and ability to figure it all out have to have a good lot of smart players. Kevin O'Connell, that entire Minnesota Vikings organization knows that the defense is in a championship window. We just got to hold up our end of the bargain. Very rarely does that come with an offensive minded head coach. Usually the offense is good. Defense is ass. Defense of head coach. Usually the defense is good. Offense is ass. We're going to talk about a couple different situations. Robert Sala, okay. Whenever he was at the Jets, great defense offense couldn't do a damn thing. Now at the Titans, potentially similar, they're getting rid of all their good players. Shout out to Monty Hooker getting traded to a contender as well. What a stud he certainly is. But whenever you think about the Vikings, you think they have a good offense. They do not, but their defense can win it all. Is Kirk Cousins going to be the one that gets him over the hump because he understands the offense because he's able to be a competent quarterback? A.Q. We watched it on Monday night. That was horrendous. They were ranking it as one of the worst in the history of ball. NFL has been around for over 100 years. There's a lot of stats coming out that he was performing worse than anybody that has ever taken a snap in ball. They had to make decision. They had to make the move. Do you think it was the right one? And they didn't really end up paying that much. And neither do the Raiders. You look at what your guy, side deck, the deal he, if this is true, which we don't know the ins and outs of every contract, but Field Yates, obviously a dog. We are a big fan of his. The Raiders got Cousins for a total of 650,000 bucks. Nine games are good quarterback six months for the number one overall pick Fernando to learn from. And then he ended up 20 27 third round pick for him. It's like, that's an incredible play by spy tech. Works out perfectly for Fernando. We would assume with how he starts his career. Everybody in Las Vegas said they didn't want to rush Fernando. They want to rush Fernando. We don't think they're rushing them right now. If he's not going to be good now, he's not going to be a good year from now. Potentially we shall see. But I really like this move for all parties. Your thoughts on what Kirk could maybe do for them? Yeah, I think it's big because you get a guy back and you can run your offense. I think there is a point in this season where Kevin O'Connell looked at this offense with Kyler Murray in there. And there's a lot of things that Kyler can't do in terms of what Kevin O'Connell wants to do in vice-first. And so then you, then you saw what Carson Wentz was able to put out there. That was abysmal. I mean, that was about as bad as it gets. And we saw that. And I think the biggest thing when you talk about this defense is you just need a competent offense. You don't need a great offense. And if you can get back to doing exactly what Kevin O'Connell wants to do, that's exactly what you want. And then you got to get a lead. That's how that defense thrives. When they're early in games, they look incredible. But the minute they get behind, they can't do all the stuff that Flores wants to do. Then the bills were able to lean on that run game and do all that things. If the Vikings can just play with a lead, let Flores do what he needs to do. Get a running game going. And then you know Kirk's going to find Jefferson. You know he's going to find Addison. You know he's going to find the Titans. All the guys, right? They got so many weapons. All he has to do is just be competent. Ty, are you worried about the Vikings down the stretch fell? More worried than I was a week ago, for sure. Because Kirk's not the worst quarterback in the NFL. Carson Wentz is. So, you know, that's, I mean, so yeah, he's not coming in and playing on Sunday in Green Bay. Kirk is. So yeah, I mean, you definitely got to be a little bit more worried. But well, I mean, we'll see. We'll see. It is very storybook right now, but there's still a lot of football, let's be played. Titans trade, Jeffrey Simmons last week for two ones and a four to the bears. Yesterday, they traded safety, a money hooker to the bills for a 2027 second rounder. Stoppiling picks down there, losing great players. What are the bills getting and why are the bills getting these people? They are getting a fantastic playmaker, big time playmaker. I talked about a couple of weeks ago, where they played the bangles. He had three interceptions on probably, you know, MVP favorite right now, with Joe Burrow, how he's playing, picked them all three times. I had another pick. I believe last week, five interceptions right now in the National Football League, big time playmaker, great communicator. And when you have a young defensive quarter and new defensive coordinator, Leonard over there, you want smart guys that can make plays on the football because every time you get a turnover, you're handing the ball now to Josh Allen instead of handing it to Camboard for your money hookers. So me, just a great situation for him, just like we talked about, all the guys getting traded, getting traded to a contender. And he's already got paid, so you getting paid well and you're playing for a contender, big time win for a hooker and the bills. Tell me a little bit about Diane Henley coming in to the Broncos from the Texans hat. This came out, I know where I think everybody was kind of confused by this. Is this a big move for Broncos defense, which we already like a lot? I think people may be surprise because Harball kept saying they weren't trading their guys in Hinley, A-K-A. I believe he calls himself the power ranger of the ranger we might have had him on the show or maybe during when James was talking about him Been on the show but he is a heat seeking missile. He flies around. He'll be a big time addition. If you look at that Broncos team I like singleton, but some people some play calls say hey the linebackers may be the weakness of that defense So now you add to a weakness and make it a strength big time move for a team that we expect to contend because Fourth quarter they're going to find a way to win the game and see him good defense We assume Sean Peyton who get both nicks figured out and they'll be playing better football down the stretch Henley's on pace to eclipse a hundred tackles for the third straight season Hey, yeah, I think he's gonna go the football player here in the division. Yeah, that's crazy move crazy move What did I get for it? I didn't see who's it ended up being a Fourth and fourth in a fifth for 2028 fourth this year 2028. Okay Yeah, that came out of nowhere a lot of people were very confused. You're willing to trade this guy in the division But we're not willing to trade and buy else to remain make our team better in the future as we're asked right now Interesting. I think he got Osama pretty good after this one too. Yeah, yeah, I think so and I'll tell you they're gonna do that to anybody right now We've been chitchat about a you can get it. You make a couple bad decisions You lose the faith lose the trust and then you don't win games boy He gets real loud real quick. They want changing. They'll start dropping some interesting little memes right on your head I mean they will bring that thing out there Congrats the handling I guess go into a defense in title contender and then con man two wide receivers that get open Got traded yesterday keenan Allen and Josh Downs both out of the coats 49ers stock up on a Indianapolis coat and the chiefs stock up on an Indianapolis coat I'm happy we're supplying everybody else for like a triple-a team maybe creating some champion somewhere Comment both these guys get open and catch the ball I think that is a very crucial thing in a modern NFL Yeah, here's for the 49ers kind of hilarious memes coming out of that camp when you just think about their Wide receiver room being keenan Allen branding cooks in Mike Evans definitely some good content on the internet because of that But he'll be perfect especially with Shanahan and what keenan Allen can do you know we talk about third and keenan You know how many third downs is he gonna get for Brock Perty and then Josh Downs is the big one I mean he wreaks of hey this guy's gonna go out and score three touchdowns for the Kansas City Chiefs against the Falcons this weekend It is going to be one of those wow Where's this guy been for the last three years and then he'll probably end up signing a Lucrative deal in Kansas City as well huge get for the Chiefs that is probably the biggest move I would say outside of a starting quarterback going to the Minnesota Viking especially with the glaring air that they have on the offense Which is the wide receiver position for the last few years now in Kansas City Josh Downs gets open Josh Downs can play multiple positions Josh Downs also gets the ball runs and every I mean he is everywhere for the coats He's had his best season yet and now Patrick Mahomes is already excited about His new weapon they're gonna get him involved early. We assume. Yes. The thing about Josh Downs He's is a very smart like a savvy football player So when you play with a quarterback like Mahomes you want guys to be where they're supposed to be and then when he starts to improv You want guys to move around and be on that same page. I feel like you know Not having a training camp in up to this point in season They'll take some time to figure each other out But Josh Downs is a very very good football player I expect you to try to go and get BTJ maybe an explosive bigger body on the outside of the field But I think Josh Downs will be a good additive with the Rashee Rice and Travis Kelsey kind of working that middle of the field Hopefully you got to get some production out of Xavier worthy here first round pick your burner Like that should be the difference maker that takes the top off of defense is that's I think the element they're missing at offense Well, maybe he'll get down to the fourth or fifth corner You know when he's out out there maybe be maybe Xavier worthy confidence will go crazy because of who he's playing against How he's playing against him with the addition of Josh Down Kenneth Walker's fresh off of three touchdowns. Yep, you know, so uh he's incredible. He was in the MVP conversation there for a bit They have a little bit of a law everybody backs out on the chiefs. They had Josh Downs We should have known they were gonna be cooking regardless speaking of cooking. They took their hats off. We saw Put on a hat rack. Mm-hmm one into a media room In the College football playoff committee has released It's second official ranking. Why does this matter? Well the AP vote certainly matters because it's a lot of media people And we respect the people that are voting there some people we probably assume should not have a vote But hey whenever a tone got his NFL vote people got bad about that as well So it's always gonna happen the AP vote is cool good for conjecture good for conversation good to kind of bat around a little bit You know good to bat around a little bit the CFP ranking only one of matters. This is the only one of matters This is the one that's gonna indicate who's making it into the college football playoff now I do apologize just putting all the emphasis strictly on the playoff if you are ranked in the AP top 25 year 25 24 23 I remember when we were on West Virginia. We started cracking in the ranks. It was a cool thing So this is a very cool very cool thing. I mean it was unbelievable. We were ranked top five couple times top 10 It was a huge ordeal for us because it wasn't a norm for West Virginia at the time. Did you guys crack in there ever? Yeah, we got our rank up Maybe for the I think the first time in program history got up to 13 wow I was there think my junior year or so. It wasn't like a Penn State was exactly so yeah So I don't want to talk like as if all the thing that matters is this because Getting ranked is obviously Especially if you're not used to it like a massive as I get choked up thinking about the first time we had I get it Yeah Cool, it's like we did it man people are starting to like wake wake man, you know up there ranked huge y'all called a state and it's though You're like we get that but on that note college football playoff committee ranking You see only one of matters when it comes to what is gonna inevitably be our champion at the end of the year So whenever they announce what they're this week is huge ordeal because we can kind of start to catch Trends or traits of this particular committee that all have two year terms two year terms three year terms I forget what it is 12 people in the room 13 people in a room two years yeah, they kind of turn over quickly So how is this group gonna be judging? We find out a little bit more last night joining us now is a man who got a chance to chit chat with the chair of the college football playoff committee Hundred year check immediately after the rankings were rolled out the host not only a CFB rankings But also college game day football and college game day basketball. He's been at ESPN for 31 years He's got the weight of the world literally on his shoulders when he's talking to hundred year check You get some answers ladies and gentlemen Reese Davis. Yeah regional. What's up Reese Going great. Going great guys. How's it going with you? Hey, not you guys have been busy the last couple days rich Clark trade deadline You guys been rolling. Hey, thank you. This is when times are good brother You know, we look back on these times in June, you know, in July and we go oh boy. How many days away are we? Because this is when sports are at its absolute finest whenever there's so many different groups Kind of all turned in college football world Obviously waiting embedded breath for these rankings trade deadline day at a lot of fire And I don't know if you heard about any NHL Halibuk went back to Winnipeg last night and they let them have it They let him have it the whole crowd so sports are operating in a fantastic way for society college football playoff committee Are they doing good Reese? How do you how do you feel about what happened last night? And is this kind of how you thought they were maybe going to react to the this past weekend of chaos on separation saturday? I think they did some course correction Pat and they don't like to admit it That way, but I think you can look at a couple of rankings and see where that comes into play Notre Dame was too low. There weren't 10 teams better than them prior to Miami They said they needed a signature when they got it and so their number five Look, I might differ a spot or two. I would have the Irish a little higher than that Couple of other ones Indiana dropped without playing people look at that in a vacuum and get all upset about it But a couple of things Indiana's sort of in the situation. They said Notre Dame was in last week without a signature win And oddly enough every single Big 10 opponent that Indiana's played at this point every one of them lost In fact only one of their opponents overall won a game on saturday So I don't know if that had anything to do with it per se but it sort of made you look at Indiana's resume We all know they're really good team execution monsters But they don't have it on the paper just yet and UCLA probably benefited from going to Minnesota And sort of in the second half housing a Minnesota a team that you know pushed Indiana over time So I think there was some course corrections with with some of those teams in there Yeah, and I appreciate you calling it a course correction as opposed to like a drastic change because these humans in here are trying to make these decisions They are trying to get it right and they do hear the public Perception on everything that they do you talking 100 euro check last night anything stick out to you other than the fact and we'll point this out 100 euro checks on an easy position Especially after what we spoke about with rich Clark yesterday the executive director of the college football playoff committee He's in touch. He started sweating a little bit out there I mean he started feeling a little bit of pressure from your questioning We appreciate what you have to do in that moment when you're talking to him Because you have to represent every fan base that's pissed and if you don't represent said fan base Then you're showing bias for others and not for them. So we appreciate you getting in there Did he say anything last night that changes your judgment and how they're going to view teams down the stretch whenever it gets closer to the playoffs You know, I think the one thing that I still haven't reconciled completely It's a thing that everybody's all hot and bothered about is the difference between Alabama and Tennessee But he explained it in a way that I think reflects a little bit of the discussion that's going on in the room Is that while certainly Tennessee has the head to head and that's a really important data point That everything else in their judgment favors Alabama from the way they look And also you have to keep in mind they're not just comparing those two teams. They're comparing those teams against everybody else is being considered So I you know, I would still differ with that right now I think those two teams are close enough and bodies of work that I would I would probably still let head to head be the tiebreaker But I sort of get I kind of get annoyed with all the people who say, well, I saw that game. Well, did you see all the other games, you know, if we're just picking and choosing which head to head matters, then why, you know, why does Georgia, why does the head to head against Auburn because Auburn's not very good and they spit up that game? Why doesn't that matter? So, you know, it sort of reflects why it's difficult for the committee. I think that was one of the other things that I would kind of differ with is it seemed overly punitive to Miami the way they fought back and without Malachi Tony to drop from one to seven, but there might be some more course corrections on the way in coming weeks. Yeah, and I think that was them saying, let's see what they are without Malachi. They just lost their first game without them. You know, and I think they gave that indicator last year or last week to Notre Dame. They put them at 11. I think that was them saying, hey, you got to be in the top 11 to make this thing. So you're here. You got Miami this week, the number one team. You're either going to be in or you're going to be out. That is basically, I think, what the committee was saying last week with the rankings. They win, which is why I said, well, they're going to be in there. And I think the same thing, when you look across the board, they are giving, I think they're giving signs to teams. If you look at them, I think they're giving signs to team. Miami, you drop that much. We're going to have to see you do it without Malachi, but I do think they will forgive them because of how they played against Notre Dame late and how they made that a game without Malachi. First, I'm the only two days to go into a game plan against that Notre Dame team in Notre Dame with all the celebration and everything that was taking place around that without your best player. And that's how you end up playing. I think the committee will take that into account later, hopefully, because they do contradict themselves a little bit. Well, they got big wins over good teams. Who? Oklahoma, Florida, blah, blah. It's like, are they? No. Same thing. Are those teams hard? Not to contradict yourself this season. It's impossible. It's impossible. It's impossible. They're never going to get it right. I don't mind that path, though. I know it won't stay like this, but that path, if you remind me her again right now, be why you first round, go and play Utah. I'll take that. It will not stay the same. We have to remember that. Yeah, boy. It won't be exactly the same. These will be changing by the week, just little sudden changes or slight changes go from having home field advantage to having to travel in there. Let's head over to Hammer. Dot, dot. AP tone has a question for you, Reese Davis. Yeah, I do, Reese. There was just a couple of them that I maybe would have just flip flopped like in just IU and Tennessee maybe, and then UCLA and Bama, why do you think they do have Bama ahead of UCLA? I think I know the answer, it's because of Bama's wins and whatnot. But did you have any problem with UCLA being behind Bama? Not really, because I think this is a result of the offseason emphasis that the SEC pushed to try to get the selection committee to really commit to looking at strength of schedule. UCLA is an excellent team. They don't have the level of win or is their schedule strength or strength of record and all those metrics. They don't quite match up to Alabama. It's rare but not unprecedented that a two loss team from the SEC or big 10 would be ranked ahead of an undefeated one from the other conference. I had them look it up last night and you know it even happened last week and then it happened a few times over the course of the playoff doesn't happen a lot. I think it's probably a reflection of waiting on UCLA to have a bigger win. If you get to the point where they have the zero and the lost column at the end then I wouldn't be surprised at all to see that flip flop because in this season, as you guys point out, there is just pointed out, everything changes so quickly and I don't believe in just counting fewest losses but I do think that ought to be a mark in your favor particularly in a season like this one if you get to the end and especially those two major conferences and they're still zero in the lost column, that's probably going to work in your favor. Yeah, you have to respect it. You genuinely have to respect it especially with how many ones have lost this season. It felt like every single week the best team in the country laid an egg at some point. So if you're going to do that against a couple other good teams, think they're going to have to give it a little bit more grace. Once again, not advocating for it. It is radical change who knows what it does the regular season. 2014 playoff, every one of these rankings that come out, it just does kind of get a little bit more appealing to me personally. Now people are going to say I'm a big dumb dipshit and I'll just watch more football if they give us more football. I certain that is true, that is guilty, okay, absolutely guilty. But I do like exactly exactly, but I do like the feeling of like must win games happening in November. I do like October having like real importance because it is a separator for college football from the NFL. But if college football ends up being like the NFL, where you're ranking and where you are and how you're seated in home field advantage in your path to a national championship, become the main talking points. I don't think it'll be terrible, but it certainly doesn't have the luster that college football has with every game mattering more than anything in the rest of sport basically. So that might disappear and I don't like that, but boy, when in a game in November, basically locking down home field advantage through the playoffs, that's going to be quite a celebration I think. There are still going to be those moments to celebrate during the season as if you want it all. But you look at some of these 2014 matchups, it's like we're watching it. We're going to watch this. We're going to watch the hell out of this thing and then the group of 16, you know, maybe it makes a little bit more sense from where they fit in in how they're ranked. Yeah, one of them getting in in this bracket, all good, whatever. No problem. Reese, Iowa Hawkeyes fan, Ty Schmidt, pissed. The Boise is in the playoff right now, even though the Hawkeyes are ranked 11 spots ahead of them in football and we're going out there this weekend to Boise. I'll have, you know, I'll report back. I'm thinking the size, speed, atmosphere, team, culture are going to be ones that will make you proud that they're representing the college football playoff this year. Yeah, maybe, maybe I just, I don't know why we basically are giving a free pass to Boise every single year because that's what this thing has ended up being with the exception last year where two teams who shouldn't have been in there, got in there and got their doors blown off in the first round. But that's, that's neither here nor there, Reese. I wanted to ask you with where the committee ranked Oregon, they shot up to 16. Do you think they're kind of maybe leaving the door open for them if they win out to potentially kind of sneak in and maybe get that last spot because they will end up having a couple good wins, including one over a playoff team in Boise? You know what, Ty, I think it's a, they're the highest ranked three loss team and I think the door is open to them on a couple of fronts. One is the one you mentioned. You keep winning all of a sudden. It looks as if you've riding the ship and you get one of the last at large bits. They don't have to have a lot fall their way to find themselves in the big ten championship game and they can just win that thing and be the big ten champion. Now they need no annoy loss, they really need us see to beat Indiana this weekend and then I don't think it's quite a lot but they would kind of have the inside track if those two things happen. Indiana doesn't just have to lose to USC, they need to lose again but that's the most really that seems to be the realistic opportunity. So they'll be big Trojan fans this weekend. Even if that doesn't happen with the way we've seen all of these teams falling and Oregon ascending and playing well and the Boise wins going to look good for them, you know, I think there is a possibility that they could be a three loss at large team by the end of it. They don't need some things to fall their way. It probably would be better served if it went their way in the big ten and they just won the conference. I'll tell you, a puncture ticket, you win a conference title, kind of duke through a wrench into everything last year down there in the ACC with that particular district. If Wrightola is going to continue to play like that, Oregon has a roster of five stars. Oh, yeah. If they can play football, how they're supposed to play, they could certainly be a team that gets very dangerous down the stretch here and that went over a high state. I think it was a massive statement to the committee as well, like the committee was like hold on because how much respect everybody has for that horseshoe and for the Buckeyes roster in general, like who's all on there? Come back. Yeah. And also fake pun. Yeah. One of the fake pun in there. Yeah. So like all three phases. Well, it matter in two weeks, though, you know, will they basically just use it against Oregon and be like, hey, you guys played a bunch of rum dumps, uh, two weeks ago, even though they were, you know, ranked in the top 12 at the time. We'll see. We'll see. I don't know. Hundred year check will tell us the reason, which we will be very, very, very grateful for. Obviously, as it goes forward. Not Oregon working its way back in would be a great story in this modern NIO world where we think teams are going to quit because of contracts and money whenever they're ruled out of it. For them to come back, losing their quarterback, new offensive coordinator, that is, that needs to be talked about more of this core offense coordinator goes on and crushes it about how situations are situational guy got fired as the Wyoming offense coordinator. Wyoming last year. Now he's offense coordinator for the Oregon ducks trying to make a national championship run less than a year later. Great. That's good person for your story. That's a good, you know what I mean? Good players. Be a good coach. Absolutely. For sure. Nine times out of ten. It's just like this. I think I saw something that said this is the first time where CFP ranking where the first one is second with nobody had the same ranking like this, this, this season has just been insane. So like being able to just play five, six, seven, eight weeks, which we're so used to Georgia and Bama's and Ohio State like every year, they're playing, you know, they'll have their one rivalry weekend where it's like, okay, something can happen. But I mean, Missouri, they played Georgia like Michigan, Oregon, like I don't know what's going to happen in any of these games going in the Saturday. Yeah, it is. - It's been a lot of fun to be on a show having to make predictions. - I'm pissed. - It's been a fun year trying to do that, Reese. That's been a blast. I will have you know, this past weekend, I thought I was gonna get skunked. I thought I was gonna get some, I was watching these games at the beginning of all the games. I'm going on feeling so happy. Actually said it. I was like, yeah, I'm gonna get every pick right today. I'm due for one of those, been a few years hasn't happened. I think one of these days, and then you know, pass out for like an hour, 45 minutes, wake up, look at the four bucks. Oh no, what is happening here? That's every pick of mine is now way down. Oh, let me go to the more games that aren't on the four bucks. Oh shit. Boy, we need Notre Dame tonight. I think we need, I was one over. I have UCLA in Notre Dame. That was it. That was all I had this past weekend. And I'll tell you, going into next weekend, just like I was on separation Saturday, there's a real fear that you have no idea what's gonna happen to any of those games. And if you listen to college game debris, I think you know this. I was leaning Miami for probably two and a half hours. If you listen away, I was talking on game day. I'm like, fletcher, this guy, I watched him with my own eyes, just take over an entire game whenever they needed to. And then there was a realization as Ted Lasso was sitting right next to me. It's like, brother, what are you doing here? You could feel it. That was a must win game for Notre Dame. Two years in the making almost. Two years with what happened last year. It's like, there's no way that Notre Dame loses this game if they are anywhere near what we think they are. I came away with a lot of respect for that Notre Dame football team. Must win game. Malachite Tony out, that could even make it more like, boom, like, gotta get through this. Mentioned the boys came. And in Barcait, he is not what he appears to be. He did start cooking for Miami a good bit there. And the Notre Dame weather storm continues to win. The environment was crazy. What did you learn from Notre Dame? I know you had them to win a national championship before the season started. But after that felt like a movie on Saturday. I was very thankful to be there. And that's a huge win for their program. I think for Marcus Freeman as well. It was absolute must win. Not that they would have been eliminated by I think for their psyche. They needed to come through in a game like that. I know people can argue eight, you know, just two years ago, they won playoff games and got to the national championship game. They needed to win like this in the regular season, the way they jumped on them then. And in Miami challenge to be able to hold on and win the game regardless of what you might have thought about the call and the throttle often in the end zone. But you know, Notre Dame did that defensively and they're down five starters now. Some of those guys will be back. Some of them probably won't be back into playoff and not all of them will return. But I think it really showcased the depth that they have. And it's one of the reasons that I believe in them. And the other thing I really found interesting, Pat, was something that Marcus said during the week and then said when he was with us out on the demo field in game day. It was almost like he was giving C.J. Carr a pep talk. Basically saying, go be what I know you are. You're elite. You're built for a game like this. Go play like it, you know, 'cause he had missed some throws in games. It almost looked like maybe he was a little bit tight like trying to live up to all the expectations. And he was, I think it's the best I've seen, particularly in the first half of that game. He was right on point and that's what Notre Dame needs if they're going to win that and some more good health on defense. But it was a huge win, great atmosphere sort of meant to be. And Miami, to its credit, gave him a huge, huge challenge. I mean, Miami's very capable, especially Malachi gets back of winning the National Championship. - That right there is the touchdown that is obviously not called a touchdown that is being talked about in a huge way. In my eyes, real time, first time I seen a high-sats, touchdown, that looks like touchdown to me. So then they slow it down, even more so. Because he's holding onto it longer in slow motion. So I'm like, yeah, I see that ball on his hand longer now. I think it's a touchdown. And then here we are in 2026. We still have no idea and both sides can combat the reasoning in which they feel, how they feel. So got to complete the catch, but sometimes not as much as another time where you complete the catch. And if I was Miami, I'd be pissed too. And I guess that's why the big convo is why they dropped so many spots whenever they were potentially without their best player and it all comes down to this. So I love our college footballs at. I like the way Miami responded. And I'm thankful that I got a chance to experience another day. Now after watching another day and do that to Miami, you know, they beat five seed, they take on 12 seed tie. Who's that right now? - Right now that'd be Boise State. - They're done with 12 seed in the tournament, okay. So that spread would be 21 and a half, right? - Yes. - That'd be the biggest of the first round here. This year projected spreads from draft games. These are not real right now. These are just projected. It's 21 and a half. If there was a 2014 playoff, the biggest spread would be 16. Everything else would be, everything else would be like below one touchdown, one score, it would be a one score, right? So the matchups right now projected for the 2014 playoff would all be better than potentially this particular first round as well. - A lot of those 2014, a lot of those games stink. - Games stink, spreads aren't as much though. They say they're actually gonna be able to battle is what the sportsbooks say. Sportsbooks though only tell you their thoughts. And if we went off of their thoughts, it'd be much easier to predict what the hell is gonna happen every single week. In college football, it's only up into the right more and more. Conman has last question for you here, Reese. - Yeah, Reese, a couple of weeks ago it was seemingly LSU's time that everything was kind of going well and they were gonna go on this run. Now, obviously they get the doors blown off and by Alabama at home with where LSU and what it's been through, you know, since the start of the season with the NFL guys coming back to play for LSU, going through all that stuff. Where is kind of the temperature with Lane Kiffin? It feels like LSU has a pretty short leash. Similar to a lot of SEC schools when it comes to, hey, you have time to get this going. They've kind of already had a loud season. Now they got three losses, they lose big at home. What is kind of the status? Is it gonna get pretty hot for Lane over the next year? No, year, if he doesn't start getting this thing going very, very quickly or does he have a longer leash because of who he is? I think in terms of what you're talking about and keeping his job, the leash is long. But the leash is pretty much out of chain links after what happens Saturday against Alabama because they've had such a history of losing to Alabama and Baton Rouge. It's sort of been the thorn in their side for a long time and they had good reason to think that they were going to be able to control that game, win that game, sort of a cathartic win, the defining moment of the early part of the lane, Kiff and Tenure and it came apart on them. Some of it was of their own doing. There were some really questionable decisions. It's only an 11 point game. You can't go for it fourth and ten on your own 25. You're putting the whole game on one play. Yeah, and then the play might even be a conversion. You still didn't score. So why not show a little faith in your defense? So I think there was a little bit of a panicky quality and I think just the fact of way they lost that game and the way the margin got away in the fourth quarter has infuriated a lot of people and a lot of fans. Doesn't mean he's gonna lose his job. Doesn't mean they don't think he's gonna be successful long-term. It does mean that they probably are in a very good mood for less the atrix, more wins, more meaningful wins. And they'd like to see that starting this weekend against Texas. And be who you can afford to be is always kind of a life motto, you know, everywhere you're at. Lane Kiffin, it's a lot around Lane. Always gonna be because the expectations around Lane are always gonna be, he's gonna win. He's gonna win. Excited to see how he bobs and weaves through this particular time with LSU, rebuilds for next year. Now, Alabama looked unbelievable and that might be the answer to debuts question. - Yeah, Reeves got to ask you this one before you get out of here. Head coach, quarterback, Combo, you trust most down the stretch. You got Gunner Stockton, Kirby, smart, Minsk, Crystal Ball, obviously Russell DeBoer and a lot of more out there, who you got? - Freeman and Carr. I mean, I trust him. I certainly trust Crystal Ball and Minsk too. And I've said, I think on your show before, I think Keel and Russell's gonna be the best quarterback in college football. The question is, will it be this year or next? But if I'm choosing one to trust the most, it's Marcus Freeman, CJ Carr. And I actually, I think as good as Gunner Stockton is, I think that's the difference between Notre Dame and Georgia, who I think are the two best teams in the country. I think that I'd give the edge to CJ Carr in the matchup with Gunner, even though Gunner's a really good player. - I love the George Bulldogs and I love Gunner Stockton. And I said that Gunner Stockton broke my heart the way he'd been playing in the last couple weeks with how he looked at the beginning. And I had a bunch of George Bulldogs fan. I also picked Ole Miss to win. I had a lot of George Bulldogs fans telling me, hey, what's up, Lodmouth? You still heartbroken about Gunner and then stats getting shoved right in my face about what Gunner Stockton has done this year. And I think I might have been overreacting a little bit. I think Gunner Stockton's having a hell of a year. And I thought that the vlog that I saw from the Georgia social media team of Kirby Smart telling the boys this year that somebody's got a fucking pay for what happened last playoffs. And it's us versus them. And then the sideline, players on the team running up to each other saying, somebody's got to pay for what happened to us last year. It's like, oh, I think I forgot. I've got about bloody Tuesday, I think I forgot about what type of shit Kirby smarts running down there. And Eli and Egg, against Auburn at home, congrats the goal is huge win for Auburn. Not gonna act like that, isn't a big win. Going into Georgia, getting to W's huge, that's whatever the case is. But for Kirby, that probably just gave him even more, we forgot the Kirby is a psycho. We forgot that he is a run through wall, actual guy. So shout out to the Georgia social team, giving us a little bit more of a glimpse in there. 'Cause the only thing I've ever really seen is somebody like filming from the back and Kirby telling his guys like, hey, we're about to go and actually murder this team. That is the goal, is we are trying to hurt people here and getting a chance to see it again. It's hard to pick against the damn dogs. Now, Reese, I don't know if you did or if you didn't, it is time to debut for yet another week as Reese's transparency has certainly made us all better. And this might be the Reese's pieces from the weekend. Here's what Reese's AP Top 25 look like. - Hey. - Ooh. - Congratulations to them, Georgia Bulldogs. Number one, in everybody's mind. - I like this. - You had a couple things that were different than the CFP. When you were piecing this together, what were your thoughts, Reese Davis? - I didn't think Miami deserved to be overly punished and I wanted to reward Utah for that great win against BYU. That was a wild roller coaster game that both teams seemed intent on bludgeoning the other. And then would turn around and be ready to give the thing away. Turned out to be a great win for them. Wanted to make sure that they got their reward. I'm not sure as well-coached and as good as UCLA is, I still wonder, I want to see them against an elite team, but I think you've got to respect the fact that nobody's beaten them yet. As we've talked about, I stacked up the SEC teams according to head to head because I think they're all pretty similar. And while I agree with the notion that Indiana really hasn't beaten anybody at this point, I've got such respect for the fact that they know how to win games. It's like our old friend, Lou Holtz, used to say, you don't have to be the best team in the country every week, just be the best team in the stadium. And Indiana usually is. - What do you say? How did sound though? I don't think I heard it there, 'cause-- - Yeah, you want to have tie, do it? - No, you, you, Reese. We know you got one. You dropped one on Saturday, and that was magical, as I know you were celebrating the hell out of Lou all day. We love him as to you. What did he say though? I don't think I ever really-- I don't think I heard that one. - You do not have to be the best team in the country ever Saturday. You just have to be the best team in the stadium. (laughing) - That was good. - Hey, rest is good. - Very good. - Very good. - It's not you, Ty. You've got no-- - That's pretty good. - No, that's incredible. Yeah, we appreciate you doing that for an old friend of yours, also old friend of ball as a whole, but I agree with Indiana. And they're the national champs, you know? Like they are the reigning champions. I don't think they've been talked about as the reigning champions. Partially because it is Indiana. Partially it is New Quarterback. Partially it is a lot of, you know, whatever the case is, but that's why every time I would-- And I think a lot of Indiana people would wonder whether it's like, we're the reigning champs right now. Like what do we, we've lost one game by three inches. Like what, can we, what do we need? What more do we need to do? I think that's how a lot of Hoosiers people feel. And then UCLA, AQ immediately saw your ranking and then saw the CFP ranking. He wrote on his dry race board here. UCLA, no respect. What do these guys got to do? Rich said, haven't seen him against anybody just yet. Is that something that's okay for you to hear or no? Yes, that's the biggest thing, Rich. You just haven't seen him again. I mean, they're nine to know. And I think we've talked about how the eye test is a big thing, right? But when you turn their film on, their offensive lines, massive, their defensive line can play. Like they got guys everywhere. They got a great run game. They got a great recipe for success, it seems like. And it's still, I think we're still putting UCLA in the bucket of 10 years ago. That's probably fair. I gained a lot of respect for them on Saturday. I'm a big fan of Chesney, big fan of what they had done up to that point. But I thought it was a real trap for them at Minnesota. And UCLA defense has been sensational. And then they made the two huge plays in the passing game, which we really haven't seen a lot of lately. And that elevated their stock in my eyes. I want to see what they do against an elite offense that's clicking, but as Oregon plays better on the paper resume, that win continues to look better. Even as ugly as that game was, if memory serves them, there were a total of 12 turnovers in that game. But UCLA turns you over on defense. They can run the ball. They got an excellent running back. Defend Bak is seized his opportunity and made some huge plays Saturday. So, hey, look, I mean, I think a lot of UCLA fans would have taken number five in the preseason right now. But they're dangerous because much like we saw with the Indiana team in 24 the first year. When you start to believe, that's powerful. And Indiana did, and I think UCLA believes in itself right now too. Hey, Reese, Bama fans might be a little surprised. You dropped Bama a little bit lower in your pool. He's an Alabama one. Oh, yeah. That's why I'm surprised. You know what, I've asked a couple of people because you try very hard. When you do what we do, you get to know the people. And you certainly still care about your alma mater. And I think it's different for all of you guys you've played in this for me. I just went to school there. Nobody, nobody cares where I went to schools. So I really try. Well, we'll see where you put Alabama at the end ranking. Yeah, we will care then. Right now, very convenient not to bring up. He's actually ranked. That's actually very big of you. Yeah, he's ranked as good. Nobody's gonna talk about that. This is an Alabama alum on SEC SPN, lowering the ranking of his school than normal. And he's one of the voices of the entire sport. I do think that is a big deal. And D-but, he literally just drops in my ear. He was like, Alabama for Reeves Davis. It's like, you do try your best. I think to separate by a C from actual personal feeling. But that's not an easy thing to do. And also, especially when a group of people that aren't committed to Alabama are saying you're wrong, fascinating stuff. I mean, I test, you can make an argument for us to be the best quarterback in country. I mean, no C.J. cars, right up in your minutes that all of these guys are playing great. But if you watch the game, 12, yeah. Yeah, and if you see him in person too, you think, oh, I certainly looks the part. Yeah, you're doing this actually. Wow, this fucker's big. You don't expect that for how smooth he is. And he is very smooth. And they got a team and DeBor looks like a psycho, right? So they got what they need down there. Okay, that's Reese's AP Top 25. Now it's time to take a above average look. Mm-hmm. There you go. Live from Hammer, time, time. We have tones above average pull with Notre Dame on top of the stage. Notre Dame on top of tones above average pull. Good grip on that thing in front of touchdown. Jesus, Utah, there are two, which I think a lot of people are fair and then Georgia, the number one team in Reese's AP Top 25 and the CFP's Top 25. Cone has down lower right, maybe in third as that thing goes that way. Notre Dame in one. Cone, can you tell us a little bit about your above average pull here, Paul? Yeah, as you can see, it was a little wet outside. So I had to grip that thing tight this week. Yeah, good grip. And you had to grip it tight this week because there were so many teams that could have made the above average pull this week. We just talked about Bama, and Tennessee, and Oregon, and Iowa, and UCLA. Everyone who had all these big wins this week. But I think no win was bigger than Notre Dame's win this weekend because of what we talked about. What happened last year with their two early losses and then he didn't have any big wins and then lost earlier this year at BYU. They needed this one really bad. I thought it was the biggest win of the weekend and then Utah and the Holy War. That was a huge one. That was probably the funnest game. Maybe this weekend of going back and forth and that one to stay undefeated in that rivalry was awesome. And then Georgia going into Ole Miss, even though I completely agree with what you said about Gunner Stockton and still completely agree what you said about Gunner Stockton. Georgia's defense is probably the best in the country. Their run game, their offensive line, that'll travel. So they decided to go right there next to the youths. - All right, we appreciate that, Tony. Remember, tones above average poll isn't an AP poll. - No. - Now, it's on a CFP poll. It's just literally this week. - It's an AAP poll. - Above average. It's an AAR people. - Yep. - Yep. - That's for Chuck on tomorrow. - It's an above average repeating poll. And I think you did a little work on the girth that said poll there. You see his hands are a little bit more expanded. I think each week that thing is kind of grow like a, "Hey, for every hunter retweets, "we'll thicken the. " That's kind of what tone's been doing with the graphics department, it feels like. - Nice touch, too. It looks like he's wearing Rudy's Letterman's jacket. - Yeah. - So, you know, love that. - Rudy Stiffer, I don't hate that movie. - Whoa. - You can hate the guy. Don't hate the movie. - You're right, you're right. It's more of the guy. - I don't see raps in this graphic. - Okay, that's my-- - We're not talking about the Texas Mizzou game. - Oh, no one is really talking about the officiating in that game. - It was shite. - Okay, well, there's a chance that's going to affect a lot of big time games and even careers legacies and programs down the stretch. But we hope not, shout to the refs. Keep doing it, keep doing it. Same to you, tone, and to you. Laser gentlemen, that's the host of College Game Day, one of the voices of the entire sport. Laser gentlemen, Reese Davis. Thank you, Reese Davis. - Thank you, Reese Davis. - Okay, we pivot away from college football. And we go to something else that a lot of drama last night. D-N-H-L. Laser gentlemen, joining us now. Former national champion at-- - Boston College. - There, he played alongside-- - He's a brother. - And also the-- - For a year, the Good Row Brothers, as well. - Okay, a lot of history in this man, 12-year NHL arm. This guy was on-- Same line of Sidney Crosby. We went to Pittsburgh, visited the Pittsburgh Penguins. All of the lads couldn't wait for this man to show up. I believe at the time he was playing with a broken foot to tell us about culture in the NHL, especially in Winnipeg where he played. A legend, Kevin Hayes. - Yes, oh, what's up, guys? - Dude, how are you, brother? Thank you for joining us. And everything I said there is true. Whenever I went to the Pittsburgh Penguins, whenever we had our show, and I was so pumped to meet Geno and Tanger and Sidney and for how many years of service they have given to Pittsburgh, it was very evident that all of them and everybody in there couldn't wait for you to show up. It felt like you were a massive glue guy and also incredibly talented. We appreciate you joining us. And thank you for everything you've done for the sport of hockey. Let's talk about now Winnipeg last night with Halibuk. This was expected. Do you think the New Jersey Devils handled this in a way that you would happen? And is anything like this happened in the past where Halibuk requests a trade, it feels like that's happening more often than not. It gets really ugly. He obviously just won the Olympic gold medal. Was the reason we won the Olympic gold medal over Canada, playing for Canadian team. Get me the hell out of here, he says. His first game back, Devils say, we're not playing them. And then he gets in there, sits in the locker room and they just terrorize the Devils with chance as is this normal? And how would you explain last night with modern NHL first maybe in the past NHL, Hazel? I don't think it's normal, but before I start, I just want to say happy veterans day to all the veterans. Thank you for your service. Thank you for everything you do for this country. Oh, yeah. You guys are truly amazing. And you guys deserve all the credit. Oh, yeah. But back to NHL, I think the NHL stock is at an all-time high right now. The storylines that are coming out this season are insane. Whether it's these three Americans that win the Olympics immediately asked for a trade. Two of them being in Canada. But yeah, the hell of a buck situation last night. That was wild. I think I played with Bucky. Bucky is arguably the best goal in the NHL. What he does on the ice, no one else really does, maybe Vasiliski, but no one else is really comparable to him. And again, to know him a little bit, he's a competitor, for sure. He shows up at night whenever the game is about to start. He enters his own and he wants to win every single night. He'll play every single game if he can. So I was a little shocked to see that he didn't play the game. But the devil's tried to get ahead of it, which I think kind of backfired. They tried to get ahead of it with Analytics. And they said it's best for our team if he doesn't play. But then if you look at Jake Allen stats against the Jets, it's like the worst team he's ever played against. So there's no way it was better for the team. >> Here's the statement from the New Jersey Devils before the game against the Jets, where it was announced that Halley would not be starting. And his first return back to a place that was described as an ugly breakup. This has been an organizational decision for us that we've debated at length. >> A lot of conversations here. >> Length, shit. >> Hey, everybody has an opinion. He's all calling in with his opinion, everybody's out of it. Connor Halbeck was adamant that he felt a duty. Okay, the hockey to the sport to his country. Day into the devils to play on Tuesday and Winnipeg. However, in our estimation, playing this game would potentially give us a reduction in our expected win probability. Even though Connor isn't playing at his request, we will coordinate a media availability after Tuesday morning skate at Canada Life Center. Shout out to you guys. This is from Devils GM, Sonny, Matta. So that was put out there in everybody's modern world. You try to get ahead of something with your reasoning. We don't want to hear it shut up, okay? >> No way. >> There's no way. >> Yeah, there's no way. >> Yeah, go ahead. >> Sonny Metta is, he's known to be very analytical, which kudos to him. It's the one cups in Florida. Jersey's having a fantastic year. But I think he thought using that excuse would make it easier on like the Jets fans and it just completely backfired. They had a chance to just let him play. There's no way it would have been worse than Brady could juxtroturn to Ottawa. Quinn used to Vancouver wasn't that bad. They would have boot him. They probably would have gave him a standing o-dern as his jumbo-tron, like welcome back video. And then they would have boot him the rest of the game. But now it just like prolongs it and causes more drama, which as a fan now makes it better. But now they don't get to play in Winnipeg until next season. And then leading up to that game is going to be all this drama. And it's going to be a year worth of them. Like the thing about, the thing about Halle is, he's the best bully that's ever come through that team. He won three vesnes, but his biggest knock by Jets fans is his playoff, playoff performance. And now that's just going to be stretched out over a year where last night they had a chance he was ended. He speaks to media. He probably has a shout out if I had a guess. And then backfires, the guy they traded for him scores two goals. >> Yeah, and the goalie right gets the win on the other side. He got traded as well, I believe, in his situation. So it's just complete, complete bad night for the Halle Bunch. >> It's a worse, worse possible outcome. >> By far, it was, it was the best possible outcome for Winnipeg and the worst possible outcome for Jersey. >> Well, and then also Halle Bunch, he's just sitting in a locker room, which I guess he always does. Normally back up, goalie sits on the edge of the bench, or end of the bench, and then third is normally like in a tunnel. I guess I kind of sit in a chair out there. Everybody normally very visible to the arena in that. He has always stayed in a locker room. From my understanding, you wouldn't know better than me. So last night him staying in a locker room. Now his new team that he just got traded through is doing well. They're the ones taking the chance now for the guy in the locker. I mean, it is a worse possible outcome for him. >> And the crazy part is if he didn't go in the locker room, because in Winnipeg, the bench is so small that not the third goalie, the back up goalie, sits over in the corner in the fans. So there's no way, either he was either playing, or he shouldn't have even dressed. Because as the second goalie, you sit right outside of the rank right in front of the fans in Winnipeg. It's not common at most arenas, but in Winnipeg it is. And if they left him there, it would have been insane. So I think they kind of made the wrong decision. But again, it just adds to the stalk of the NHL this year, which has been amazing. >> Okay, let's pivot around the NHL. Mick David, last time we got caught up with hockey, he was outrageous and unbelievable. Is that continuing? And what are the main storylines right now that we as football people need to know early in this NHL season? >> Mick David is making a complete, not I don't want to say mockery of the lead, because he's just that much better than everyone. But what he's doing, A, will never be done again, and has never been done before. He almost broke, I think it was Gratsky's record for 50 points in X amount of games. He had 18 assists and 18 consecutive games to start the year. He should have got one last game, they didn't give it to him. But the way this guy is playing, I mean, Sydney Crosby's my goat, but this guy is unbelievable. He is completely skating circles around the whole entirely. He has 48 points and I want to say 19 or 20 games. And it's pretty much every night he could easily have four points, which is as a player in the NHL, the most insane feeling I can only imagine. >> Yeah, I wish I could feel that in anything. But watching Mick David, you're watching somebody that's in fast forward. Feels like he is in fast forward. Is he the best skater in the history of hockey? >> Yeah, he's probably the best at almost everything in the history of hockey. I would argue that he is the best at his profession than any other athlete in any other profession. >> All right. >> What he's doing this year, he's going to have a hard time. >> My brain just ran into so many different sports because in the NBA, there's going to be a lot of people that are going to go to bat for their particular supersure that they believe in. LeBrons would do it. >> I know, but go ahead. >> Trying to compare potential of getting 200 points in the NHL. And today's game, back in the day, you can argue about it. But in today's game, with how good the players are, how good the goalies are, all the stuff that the goalies have to become better every single night. What he's doing is insane, and I'll never be done again. >> Okay, so Mick David, maybe the best athlete in the history of athletes. Definitely best everything in the sport. >> At what? >> That is sport, he hasn't won so it's hard to say that he's better than MJ, or better than Sid, because he hasn't won anything. But what he's doing this year and the potential of getting 200 points is so crazy. >> All right, I can't wait to hear the debate on the internet that's going to immediately happen after this game. >> I'll probably get ripped for this. >> Well, I'm going to get killed for something too, so don't worry about this. Just welcome to the Bayes' Kitchen. It's kind of the way it is. >> Yes, Shohei, Luca, average in like 40 all year is what people would probably point to. >> Then people are going to say, what's he a defense? >> You know, there's a. >> And what does he want? >> He had the same thing. >> Yeah. >> Yeah. >> I mean, Mick David needs to win. He has to win. >> I was trying to beat that category. >> I like that, I agree. And we do that in our own individual sports as well, like Dan Marino, he's still talked about like Dan Marino. >> Josh Allen. >> Wasn't about Josh. Yeah, I'm trying to think in the NHL, in the NFL, who would we put up as best at their position? I mean, I guess it would have to be Josh. >> Josh Allen. Trent Williams, perhaps. >> Stuffed up. >> Yeah, because we're going to go individual positions. >> Miles Garrett. Mouse, yeah. Oh, he's. I'll probably be able to do this right now. - Okay, so you guys got caught on, McDavid. We enter into conversation. Miles Karratt. - Oh, Josh? - Yeah, you can't really look at that. - I love Miles Karratt, he's a great player, but. - I mean, he's fresh off of breaking a record, though, and he first came back, three sacks for his humble. - But he's on the worst team. - Still bringing it. - Sure, the Rams think, but it's maybe because he wasn't playing. - Well, I mean, even last year, like with the Browns. - He's on the worst team, so when it comes to winning stuff, he's never even as he wants to play. - Football is different, though. You have much less of an impact on the entire game. - Yes, I totally agree with that. That's why I say like, McDavid, 'cause this guy is playing probably 25 minutes a night, offense, defense, and every team is, is game planning to go against it. - So when-- - We would have to put, yeah, I guess when B would be one, they're in basketball, but in football, I think we'd have to put up quarterback. - Yeah, you have. - We would have to present-- - Biggest impact on winning stuff. - Yeah, so it has to be Josh then, I guess, right? - Carson Wentz, maybe. - Yeah, Carl. As like the opposite of David Wentz. - Carson Wentz. - Yeah, yeah. Who's the worst player in the NHL race? - Ah, you're right, you're right. - You don't need to get into that. We're not gonna get into that debate. Who's the worst professional athlete at their job? Yeah, we're not gonna get into that either, Hazel. - Some fans would say it would be me, honestly. I mean, it's really my career. Lay you in my career, but. - Yeah, me too, brother, that happens. You mentioned Sidney Crosby there. I heard the pens have to get good quick as we go down the stretch. You mentioned about a couple of American players wanting to be traded. There's a lot more trade talk now than ever. Connor has the last question here for you, Hazel. - Yeah, Hazel, you're mentioning how the NHL is kind of the peak right now of popularity. And it seems like the players feel that because all these guys are requesting trades that typically never happens in the NHL. Kutcherov and now Mitchkov for Philadelphia being the latest kind of two stars doing that. What do you make of those trade requests? Who do you think is going to be in on them? And do you think like a team like Minnesota would ever move, you know, huge to get one of these guys? What is kind of your entire take on these trade requests as of late? - So the biggest debate is the no movement clauses. And that's what all the fans and all the media and all the coaches and GMs are mad about. And what is that? - The no movement clauses, if you get traded, if you sign a big deal and you have, say you sign a seven year deal and you have a no movement clause. And on that no movement clause, in order for you to get traded, you have to agree to get traded. And then within that no movement clause, you have a list of teams you cannot go to. And like for me, my first four years, I had a no movement clause and then my final three years, I had a no trade list of 12 teams. And so-- - Who's putting that in, you were that team? - So myself, I did. - Okay, I got it. - So it's making it, it's finally at a point where players are taken over the NHL, which hasn't happened before, which is amazing. But it is causing all this drama. 'Cause you got a guy like Dylan Larkin, who is the captain of Detroit. He was a huge piece of the USA team. His stock was probably at all time high and all of a sudden he requests to trade. And the red wings are like, okay, we'll trade you, but we're only gonna trade you to the best deal and we can possibly get. But then these other teams that know that they're not on his no movement clause, we're not gonna give the best deal because we know he can only come to us. - Oh, yeah. - The forest buckler. - And so now the red wings, A, aren't trading them, and B, he's not playing. So it's a lose-lose for everyone. And then you have Kuturov, who-- I think his was just a request because he just felt disrespected by the offer he received. I mean, the guy has every award he can possibly win in their offer. And a five by 15 million dollar deal when these 21 year olds are signed of 18 million that haven't accomplished anything. Kudos to the 21 year old. But Kuturov thinks he deserves more. And I think his trade will not happen and he'll just sign somewhere else on July 1st. And then the funny one is Mitch found this guy is not even 20 and he's requesting a trade. I hope it's not true, but if it is, he'll get laughed out of that building in Philadelphia. That's the worst place you want the fans to turn on you. They loved me, then they hated me. And when they loved me, it was amazing. And when they hated me, I got traded. (laughing) That's really cool. I don't think Minnesota will trade Quinn Hughes unless he openly comes on. Like these guys and says, he's not going to resign there. I think Billy Garen thinks that he can get Quinn Hughes. And if he signs Quinn Hughes and has a piece of that a lot of other players will sign there and free to see. - Got it, you're the man. We can't wait to catch up with you again. Thank you for your service, the sport and to this program and to debate as you dropped that McDavid Line. You're the best. Kevin A. Z. Baby. - Yeah, yeah, cool. I appreciate him joining us. I like these coming in with takes too. - Yeah. - I'd say, when he was waiting, I don't know if I want to say this. And he did it. We appreciate that. I would join the other side with JJ Watten. JJ Hawk, be a friend, tell a friend something nice. Might change your life. (upbeat music) - It is the greatest and trade deadline day. Yesterday brought a lot of conversation in college. Football, playoff rankings. Obviously drove a lot of conspiracies. And now we are just one day away from week 10 of the NFL season kicking off. Had some great match in last night. Some great match in last night. As Miami completes a massive comeback. I think they go 30 some uninterrupted. - Yeah. - Would that be the way to describe that? And then there was a quarter, yeah, 34. It was 17, nothing. And then 34, 17. Had them in a quad box last night. Had Michigan, state, and Duke in a quad box. Obviously that was a big time, Thunderdome battle. As we learned just moments before tip off by Evan Fox, who is a Michigan state fan that their point guard, who's in player of the year conversations, is from Chicago. I believe a couple of years back. Got shot in Chicago and was playing against Duke in Chicago. Last night in a top five matchup. In my head, as somebody who's been around sports my whole life, that guy's gonna go nuts. Just in the history of athletes. He's in a player of the year conversation. So this guy's a dog. Going back to his hometown, in which he had been shot there before. It's a top five matchup. He's gonna have a lot of people in that building. Michigan state, much closer to Chicago than Duke. That's probably gonna be a go green. Go white. Building, kind of crazy. When everybody chance that, oh by themselves. The second part of that, that is something that I'm still trying to get used to. - Her colors. And they certainly are colors. Just a large group of people screaming, go white. Certainly, you know, it's awesome. And I do like it as a whole. But that guy goes crazy in every single situation that I've ever experienced in every single sport. I haven't seen a minute of Michigan state basketball. I haven't seen a single second of Duke hoops this year. And Foxy was like, tonight's a good time to see Michigan state plus seven and a half. - That was crazy. - Yeah, we hit last night pretty big on Michigan state getting seven and a half at home. But college hoops is back as well. We need to know that and celebrate it all. Talks to table's here at Boston Conor and at Thai Schmidt. Con man, last night college football playoffs, trade deadline day reaction. College hoops kicks off. We have a match and taking place. The NHL is happening with big chance. Sports right now on fire. Football, obviously, care in the way for us, but great time to be alive. - Fantastic time. Also, Jalen Brown versus Tatum last night, NBA. That was fantastic. Jalen Brown, of course, a lot of drama after being traded out of Boston for Paul George and multiple picks. Jason Tatum, hey, Jalen, good to see you. Jalen, oh, and even Tatum right after this kind of gives a, well, I tried. Yeah, unfortunately, Jalen Brown said after the game, he didn't see Tatum, which obviously wasn't true, but Tatum goes bananas. 21 points, the real winner of the night though. Paul George, the guy who got traded out of Philly, goes for 36. He's one of three players to have 35 plus points in the Eastern Conference this year. It would be Paul George, Janice, and yes, you guessed it. Jason Tatum. This was for the one seed in the East as well. The Celtics now have sole possession of first place in the East. It was just kind of the perfect watch as a Boston Celtics fan. One, Jalen Brown goes for 13 points in turnovers. Then Jason Tatum dunks on the brine at the end of the game. Paul George goes nuts. It was honestly probably my favorite basketball watch, since the Celtics won the NBA finals. It was wonderful. Sports are on fire. And Michigan State beats Duke, so bone takes a big lot. Bone eats poop all night, which is what I live for as well. I mean, it was just it was a wonderful Tuesday. I feel like, yeah, it came literally out of nowhere. I'm watching that quad box, and Miami come back in the match. It's like, this is what we're talking about. This is what we need here. The Michigan State does what they do. Fierce does go for whatever, 18 and 10 or 18 and 9. Michigan State wins, wire to wire. The NHL booing taking place. Tatum and Brown with LeBron involved there. It was great Tuesday. College football playoff committee, somewhere near right. I think most people thought there were some conversations and controversies that are going to happen down the road because of what it was. In trade deadline day, we had teams get really good. So, and Marines turned 251 years old yesterday. Shout out yesterday. Wow, shout out. Shout out today as well. Obviously, thank you to all the vets. On the line, say they'll go happy veterans day. Let's go ahead and do something for these vets if you see them today. 9-year NFL Vett Derrius J. Butler from a military family. Absolutely. Huge day here. Loved your post from Paris Island today where you said, you know, once you say thanks, I appreciate that. Yeah, that was an awesome experience down there. Like you said, military family, mostly army, younger brothers and the Air Force right now currently. So, yeah. Big time. to the verse out there. - Yeah, and the photo is sick. - I mean, that's unbelievable shout right there. - I mean, without me in it as well. - No, of course, but you in it. - Boom, right there with all of us in it. - Yeah, we got a big group shot here. That was one year ago today was one of the coolest things we've ever got to experience. Very thankful to be down there. And then through the mosquito bowl, getting a chance to go to Paris Island multiple times, meet the folks, meet the DIs, meet the recruits, learn about the history and the tradition of who the folks are, but not now, but also 200 years ago, 250, starts in a bar, I believe, in Philadelphia. It kind of starts as its own little, like, the mosquito bowl research was quite a perspective putting and admiration building, I think, exercise for the Marines and for the entire military. Today's great day to say thanks to them. 12-year NFL vet, Super Bowl champion, AQ Shipley's here. - Thank you. - AQ, how you doing, Paul? - I'm doing great. I mean, we got to celebrate the veterans today. We got flags up all over the place. I love this. This is what it's all about. - I like it. - Got a flag on my forearm. - All right. It's not just one of this stuff. - Thank you for your service. - Yeah. - No, no, no, no, no. Uncle Grandpa, not me. - Okay, but you remember you were wearing the military shoes and you were getting your tag. You were going out to camps. - Two in the-- - All right. - Oh, yeah, you were training. - Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was learning. - And now he has a tattoo on his left forearm. It's an American flag. Okay, big eagle right here. But then he's got an American flag here. And it's actually waving. It's a little darker in the front. And then there's like, you see the background where it's in the back. It's a waving flag on his forearm. - Right up into Joe Pah, right? Is Joe Pah on the shoulder? - Joe Pah on the shoulder. - Isn't that what it is? - No, that's not what it is. - Okay, I thought it was. - Geez. - Suvi. - There is a Penn State reference in there somewhere though. He has a lot of his life in his tattoos. Big old ship right here for shipyard. - Hell yeah. - Yeah, obviously with the time. But the flag, he turned his arm maybe 20 times to me. - That's right. You see it waving? Check, you see it? - God bless America. - That's right. - I've got sit rep today. That's military inspired. - Oh, that was sad. - Especially with you and- - Obviously trenches, you know. - Of course. - And ladies going to trenches for us, so yeah. - And I think they, for my understanding of getting to interact with them. - I think they, we are watched by a lot of folks in the military and we'd like to let them though. You're bad asses. Thank you for doing what you did. - Oh yeah. - And when you come home, an expectation of you just being normal and getting dropped back in the society is absurd. We continue to try to look into how we can take care of these vets and I said in the first hour, I've said a lot of times before. I think there's this narrative that if you're not for war, then you have to like be against the military as well. It's like we're always going to need a military. I hope we get to a time in the world where we don't. I think we all hope for that. But you don't have to be pro-war, to be pro-warrior for these folks that are just like us, but just obviously with much more courage, signing up to protect all of us and get into stuff. And you got a lot of military folks that don't necessarily appreciate or understand what the hell, why are we doing this? But they're doing it for us. So we appreciate the hell out of them. Joining us now. - I'm just a sacrifice moment. I just thought about it, which are always the best moments. You see an internet or real life, like in Minnesota. - Oh. - When McLeod came back like that, just those knows never, ever get old. - 400 some days, I do believe. - Yeah, away from the family. - In Korea. And she comes back to her two daughters and then her family with her. Yeah, a lot of respect, a lot of appreciation. Joining us now, live from Manatic in Ohio, is a man who's a college football national champion, Super Bowl champion, Ryder Cup winner. Ladies and gentlemen, AJ Hawkello. - Yeah, Hawkello. Hawkello, what up, bub? - Hey, happy Veterans Day. At some point today, AQ's got to rule that sleeve up. And I need to see that flag waving, man. Like, it sounds amazing. - I was wondering if the hoodie he had good enough. - He's too jacked to roll that up, probably. - Yeah, look at this. - Oh, there it is. - See it, wait. - Where is it? - Oh, it is. - I can see it. - Is it actually moving? - Yeah, amazing. - It's 20 times he did this. - I'm not gonna lie, I can't see the flag or anything that he's talking about through the screen. - Well, I was there with him, you know. I'm here now, and I could see it waving, man. - You see it? Can I actually feel it? - You gotta turn with it. It's like an optical illusion. It waves with you. - You see it? (laughing) - I see it. (laughing) - What is he talking about? (laughing) - What does it mean it waves with you? Like as you move the flag moving? - It's like the haunted mansion at Disney World, you know? Like whatever way you are, the eyes still are looking at you. - The flag is cool. - Oh, that's what I'm talking about. - There you go. - There you go. - Is that what waving flags do? I don't know, they're always looking at you. - Always looking at you. - Yeah, that's what this one does. - You should add a little pop, you know, like the flag makes whenever it, like a little snap, you should have something that you maybe get on it. - Something that comes out, you just, yeah, get the sound. Joining us now might have the same tattoo. I'm not sure. - This is damn good American. - On his back. - He's a member of the Bull Ring of Honor for the Houston Texans. Also a member of the Houston Hall of Fame. - Yep. - Sports Hall of Fame. - But also. - But probably just Hall of Fame. - He's a human Hall of Fame. He's our first ever recipient of, hey, that's a good guy. Ladies and gentlemen, the number one commentator for CBS. A first ballot Hall of Famer for the Pro Football Hall of Fame. We think, ladies and gentlemen, Gigi want. - Yay, Gigi. - You guys want to say happy veterans day. Thank you very much for all the veterans out there. And also, thank you to AQ for having a American flag tattoo. I think you're welcome. I think that's what that is. Like I'm with AJ. Did not see a flag in that image from here, but it's apparently there and you. - He's got zoom in more. He's got zoom in more. - All right, can we get a better, we need to get, it's better instead. - It's through again, it's through again. - Oh, we need to, we need to better. - Here we go. - Like where's the top of the flag? Where's the bottom, man? - Can you just tell us where it's starting? - Wait, is that the rush? - Oh, there's the, okay, there, okay. Okay, what's coming across it? Like a wind? - Yeah, it's waving. - It's waving. - Say? - Were you covering something that was talking about the original? - What's on the original? - Is it a lion? - That's an eagle. - Oh, I see that now. - Oh yeah. - For you know, all right. - That's sweet. - All right, I'm catching it now. - And then also, hold on, hold on, hold on. Let's continue looking. - See, now we get it, now we see it. - Yeah, we got real hard out here. And you see the flames coming off the eagles. - It's a little like a raven. - Well, it's an eagle, it's a American eagle. - Oh, that's clear eagle. - That'd be planned for the raven. - Can you roll the flag again so we can see that thing waving because it is veterans day? - Whoa. - You see that? - Like Chris Angel. - Where we at? - Where we go? - You missed Eric. - You moved your arm out. - We gotta go this way. - I see it. - It's like it's flapping in the wind right in front of us. - Yeah, that's right, that's right, you see it? - You see it? - Did we see it? - Did we see it? - Did we see it? - Did we see it? - Did we see it? - I got it. - Close. - No, it's barbed wire now. - It doesn't go up. - Come on. - It doesn't go up. - Barbar is back by the way. It went away for 15 years. - Yeah, but you gotta make sure you don't close it. You gotta keep that thing open. - Yeah, barbed wire to have at least a little bit of freedom there, let's so run wild. - Right. - And Jage, thank you for celebrating America alongside us and AQ's forearm on this Veterans Day. We hope everybody gets out there and says thanks to a vet. Jage, you look spectacular, middle of the season, and now you have the same team back-to-back weeks in the Kansas A Chiefs, trade deadline day yesterday. They acquired Josh Downs. Do you think this isn't immediate change like for some of these teams? Chicago Bears get Jeffrey Simmons. He immediately impacts game. Josh Downs after seeing him last week and then going into a game with them. Do you think he immediately impacts his Chiefs team? And what trade overall, if it is not Josh, really changed the trajectory of the entire season in your eyes? - I mean, I think it absolutely helps our team right now. I mean, they need receiver help, especially with some of the health of these guys. We'll see if Xavier were these able to play this week or not. But Rashi Rice already missed some games earlier this year. Tyke Juan Thornton being downed. So they just need good legitimate bodies that receiver, and he can get open versus man coverage, which is huge and will be helpful for them. But if you're looking at their squad overall, in my opinion, what they're missing is a true X number one receiver that can win down the field, that can take the top off, that can make these contested catches down the field. I mean, there are not attempting passes down the field, much less completing them, really. And that's what they're missing. And so is he going to help them? Absolutely. Is he the piece that unlocks it all, in my opinion? I don't think so, but their offense has adjusted and adapted. Patrick Maholms has adjusted and adapted everything shorter, screens, catch and run, pipe plays. And then obviously Kenneth Walker makes the whole thing go for the overall trade. I think the Kurt Cousins is the biggest thing right now, in my opinion. I think that was a steal for the Vikings. I think that was the best move they could have made right there. And I think that he does give them the best chance to win at the moment. Okay. Kevin O'Connell's offense has been a bit lackluster here for a while. Vikings fans are starting to wonder if it's just the quarterbacks that are playing like ass, or if it's the entire offense as a whole, especially with this defense being in a Super Bowl window with everybody who has eyes thinking the same thing for them. Do you think that the offense, because Kurt knows it, is going to be able to keep up with that defense? Because us being boots on the ground feels like that defense could be anybody in the league if they had to by themselves. And all anybody's been saying for the last couple years with all these different quarterbacks, even bringing in Kyler and J.J. in the past, you name it. We just need above average football play. Can Kurt Cousins do that? And no buy week for old ass Kirk. He's going to be playing 18 straight games if he remains healthy. Your thoughts on that all kind of conversation that's happening around Kirk and Kevin O'Connell right now. I mean, Kirk has been playing above average football all season long. He's had great ball obviously coming into that team. Like everybody said, and everybody sees with your eyes, if you have eyes, is that defense is insane. It's unbelievable. so much fun to watch. I don't think people fully appreciate how difficult it is and how much, how many guts it takes to run the defense that they're running. The Brian Flores is running right now and the guys that it takes, the communication, the skill, the talent. They are literally at times out there running plays that their coaches on the sideline don't even know what they're running at that moment. You know, we did them earlier this year and we had conversations with Cashman about it and it was so fascinating to talk to him and they really do have complete and total ownership of that defense. You can watch them before the play, the way that they converse with each other, the way that they're setting up. They're talking as the balls being snapped about who's going to drop and who's going to blitz. So if they don't even know until the snap, how could you possibly expect the offense to know? It's incredible. It's so much fun to watch. If Kirk plays like he had been playing earlier this season for the Vikings, they will be in a great spot. I agree. Now on the flip side, Raiders lose starting quarterback, but number one overall pick enters frame. Go ahead, con man. Yeah, JJ, you had the Raiders a couple of weeks ago when they played the chiefs and obviously then Kirk was the guy. They were still in it and they're still in it now, but when you talk to them, what was kind of the sense around Mendoza? Did it seem like he was close to playing? Is this kind of right on time for Fernando or what is kind of your entire take when it comes to Fernando now stepping in? Be in the starting quarterback, which we all knew was never really going to happen. And now he goes and has to play Seattle and Denver as defense as these first two weeks. Yeah, that's that's a tall task for your first couple games. I think the thing with Fernando over there is Kirk was never the problem there. Like the run game wasn't getting going and they need to get that opened up, but Kirk was playing good ball. It wasn't that the quarterback was the issue. Now he bring in Fernando. Everybody there has been excited about him. Everybody there says he's doing everything exactly the right way. He's learning. He's growing. He's a great teammate. Him and Kirk had a phenomenal relationship. So that was awesome. And so now he finally gets that chance. And so you do wonder if maybe he can help open some stuff up in the run game. Do they use him in it a little bit? But I think that having the opportunity to sit behind a guy like Kirk and watch and learn in certain situations, even like that we had the Raiders Chiefs game where there's a wild weird situation at the end of that game. And he got to see that and how all that plays out. And now he gets just his chance to step in. I think we're all very excited to see what he looks like. Yeah, we all think that Fernando, I personally we haven't had JJ's thoughts, but everybody that we know and has gotten to watch him live, especially through that playoff run last year. After getting to know him, his story, his family story, his work, you name it. Everything about him screams this guy is going to be a great franchise quarterback. And they said they're not going to rush him. We're not going to rush him. They can sleep at night. No, and they didn't write. You just mentioned a lot of different situations, but in a team meeting room, how he interacts with his teammates, how he operates. I think that's as big of a deal. And if Fernando gets that from Kirk and he feels like an actual leader of that team, they got their best roster. They've had in a long time, but they're in Las Vegas. Yeah. Actually, I mean, tough division. That's certainly going to be a part of the combo, but I like this move for everybody. And then you see what they end up giving to Kirk. It's like 650,000 bucks. They get a third round pick back for him. Like, that's almost a perfectly executed situation from this perspective. Now, we'll see how it is a year from now or two years from now. But the Raiders deserve a lot of a round of applause for how they handle the number one overall pick while waiting and then not sacrificing everything. And then now getting something returned for the guy. That's good. That's smart football there. It feels like now speaking of smart football here in the AFC South, brother. There's like a 12 year old cook and AJ has a question for you. Jay, what are your thoughts on the Jags kind of going on in? Obviously bringing in Jordan Davis, Godshaw and Jesse Bates there all on the defensive side of the ball. What's your thoughts on this? And like, are the Jags a little jit contender to win the Super Bowl this year? I mean, I think they were already certainly in the AFC near the top of the list of favorites. And so what this does for them? And yes, they gave up quite a bit, especially in the Jordan Davis trade. But it just shows your team, your fan base, your organization, everybody that, yeah, we are absolutely all in. We are going for this. We see what we're building here. We see what Liam Cohen is doing in this building. And we are going to commit everything to going out there and winning. And so I think it's great for them. Obviously, having been a Texan in the AFC South, it's not necessarily what you want to see. And then you look up there at the Colts and Indian, they're having a fire sale of their own up there. So it's they see an opportunity and they are willing to seize their opportunity. And I have a whole lot of respect for that. I'm looking forward to seeing them in the Giants next week. That'll be a great one. Yeah, look at Stoner and Liam walking off right there. Those are the two right there on the right side. Those two. And Bicelli and Bicelli right there. Okay. And on the left. Those guys right there. Completely flipped an entire organization. The Khan family has been wishing, trying, putting money into every, I mean, they're building a new state would be crazy. They win a Super Bowl this year and have to have a banner and ring ceremony night in Orlando, a camping world stadium. Okay, can't do that. Gotta keep stadium open for a week. Yeah, that's a preseason. Hey, we're going in there. I don't care if there's dirt on the ground. You cannot do that. You hang the banner first. Yeah, before you build the stadium, that'd be cool. Gotta have a week. Yeah, we've got to have a hanging for a crane or whatever. Yeah, whatever the case is. And then they carry the banner in every game. I think you start construction after that. But now granted, there's probably billions of dollars. Yeah, I can't do that. Yeah, camping world. They're doing that in Orlando. Why not? I mean, we, they, we just flexed them up. I think there was like some crazy stat that they haven't been flexed. But they got flexed up to the CBS 425 slot next week for the Giants. I think it's the first time since like 2018 or something that they've been flexed up. So, hey, we've been saying it for a while. I'm going to show you guys I'm talking about. I've been talking about the Jags have been underrated, under talked about for a very long time. So, I'm very excited for them to get their shine and the deserved credit for what they're building down there. I think Campanelli, the decordinated as a phenomenal job, both from a leadership and from a defensive coordination standpoint. So, really excited to have that one next week. I liked the way you worded that flex up. Okay, we're allowed to feel like that. This, this younger, I guess we are considered younger generation of sports media people. We're allowed to paint flexing as a good thing as opposed to the bad thing that it's been flexed or been talked about for seemingly since it started. Getting flexed into prime time is a compliment. That is something you earn. That is what like the good team should have. But it's always been talked about flexed out flexed out. It's like no. There's people getting flexed in. So, thank you for wording that. And the Jacksonville Jaguars are certainly a team that is worthy of that. You know, you talk to anybody in that building, the vibes are just completely different, just completely different. William Cohn gets in there and Stoner, Gladstone, we talked about the General Manjury. It looks like he's 12 years. This is the General Manjury of the Jacksonville Jaguars right here. This is it. Okay. That guy is a stone cold killer. He's an adult. This is not what it appears to be. That's those pigs. Exactly. Draft Capital is just humans, right? If we're getting humans in different form whenever everything's open, like, let's go ahead and do that. And after the draft, okay, whenever they trade up to get Travis Hunter, the promo he cut on what football is, what it can be, what it should be. All of us are like, damn, we didn't know what 13-year-old can talk like that about football. He might be a real weapon. Liam is an incredible motivator. In the Cohn family, they were, they were going to build a whole city for Urban Meyer. They were going to build in it. Do you remember this? They're going to build Jaguar time inside of Jacksonville. An entire new thing for him. This guy has been wanting this for his team since he's got there. They were almost talking about moving out of the country because of how bad it was. And good for that, man, genuinely. And if they were to win it and then have to do the entire ceremony in camping world stadium in Orlando, that'd be like the most Jags thing of all time. That would be the most Jags thing of all time. But I don't think this is a one-year thing even though they're going all in right now. What a special time down there and do. Stoner has Rams connections. Speaking of Rams, AQ has a question for you, JJ. I know yesterday was the trade deadline, but obviously there was a massive trade before the season expectations have been huge in LA since they got Miles Garrett. They finally get him back three sacks immediately. Everybody said the Rams are dead. Do you think they still have a chance with Miles coming back on that defense? Yeah, that was unbelievable. It was awesome to watch those two guys out there together and to see it actually play out the way that people assumed it would play out when this all went down. Now, obviously you got Puka going down. That's very difficult for them and the schedule coming up. But I mean, from a defensive guys perspective, just seeing those two on the field the same time and seeing them getting after it. That was enjoyable to watch. Miles Garrett, picking red up where he let's off. Do you think there you said with Puka out down the stretch? I feel like this means what the answer you just gave you have not done enough research on the Los Angeles Rams at this exact moment to give it. I don't have them on the chart until I think later December or early January. So no, I cannot say that I know a lot about them. I can tell you a whole lot about the Chiefs of Falcons. We can tell you a lot about that. The Chiefs every week. Yeah. Well, Chiefs back-to-back weeks in the middle of trade deadline. I can't wait to get your take on just vibes in the meeting, production meeting before what it was with Josh and then immediately afterwards how the game goes. Because we've watched Josh Downs play very good football. Oh yeah, very good football. Don't love the thank God. I'm getting out of Indianapolis thing. You know, I don't necessarily love that. Saved a man. Saved him from nine tough tough games. going down the road. Yeah, but it feels like he's saying saved his life just getting me out of this building as a whole. And then the forest Buckner said something similar. You know, he said he want to his knees. He thanked the Lord where he got traded back San Francisco. They introduced him last. Keenan Allen, go into the Niners. He's going to be great out there. Quentin Nelson's got anything down the stretch. So he's going to help out the Seahawks immensely. Josh Downs going to do his best for the Chiefs. And it's like, oh, he's good players. How come we can't fucking win? I really thought you guys would get a better hall if I'm being honest. If you told me which players were leaving the organization and what you got back, I thought there would be a better hall. And now obviously you didn't trade the best piece of ball in Jonathan Taylor. But if you would have told me that Quentin Nelson left that building and then the other guys as well. And you didn't get any first round pick back. Now you can turn some of that if you really spin it. And but that's that's tough. I'll say what James, I got a lot of people on TV telling me that we should have taken a second round pick for Jonathan Taylor if it was available. Okay. A lot of people saying that if that was available, you should get it. It's clearly what you're doing. It's like so we get rid of all of our players. And we still don't have a first round pick. Yeah, right. We can't do that. We got to at least hold on and hope right before the draft. Somebody is super desperate. And we need a one. We can't just be we can't not have a first round pick in the middle of an obvious full reset rebuild. So I think hanging on Jonathan Taylor without a one good idea. It's a tough place to be for the rest of the year, man. That's a tough place to be. Yeah. How's Grover Stewart feeling? He was so close. He was so close to getting rescued. And now he just rescued Robert Stewart when he put in thank God I'm getting out of this time. He's one of our guys. He would definitely give a thank you and then do the thank God instead of doing the thank God and then the thank you. Yeah, it was I was obviously I was traveling after our game, but I see like a preemptive thank you from JT. Oh, yeah. Yeah, he said bye. Good bye, interview, right? Obviously case. Yeah, but we learned through his wife that they didn't know and they were in a tough spot through the entirety. So we have so many good players, allegedly. Other teams think we have good players. Can't get a one, but everybody that's in a title run once our guys on their team, you know, and I talked to some ex players of teams and I go, you guys should get blank for blank. And they go, we don't want any of whatever the fucking coats have in our locker room. Thank you. It's like cheese. They take it easy, but it does start to wonder. We have a lot of good players. We have not been able to win for 12 years of change. What the hell is going on? What is out here? I don't know. We don't need to turn this into an all coats conversation. Your Texans aren't a great spot either. Jade, you want to talk about them? Oh, we can. We can. CJ is she just playing a good ball. They're still in it here. I mean, this is probably what the closest, I mean, halfway through the year, all seven teams in the AFC are almost set. I mean, the Cheat, I mean, the Texans and the Browns, obviously, being the two that have the shots still here on the outside looking in. But I mean, for the general most part, you're kind of in a pretty much set up spot there. Yeah, the AFCs basically figured out, basically figured out, which we don't love. Okay, because a lot of season left. Not a ball left to play. Yeah, a lot of teams could completely collapse. Got a lot of ball rights, unfortunately, which we don't like, but once again, like there's teams that could just completely pivot and go on a run here. Be too little too late, especially with the amount of lack of wins for a lot of the teams that are lurking, like you're going to have to go on quite a run. Bangles have found themselves in these positions in the past where the chase and late trying to catch up, catch up. Are we getting that point for everybody that's lurking? We shall see trade deadline pass. You are exactly who you are now. You're messing away. That is just what it is. No other moves to be made. And if see, though, we kind of had a conversation about it before the show. Like there are a couple teams who are going to miss the playoffs that no matter what teams they are, they're going to be massive names, like just looking at that list right there. Whoever misses it out of there, it's hard to say which to it actually will be, but that's going to be one where it comes down Sunday night football. There's going to be a massive game for a playoffs. Shout out to Andy. Andy North. The NFC North is just insane. Like the NFC North, that it's going to be crazy. It is going to be crazy. Andy Herman covers the Packers. He's going to put this out like, hey, two of these teams are going to miss the playoffs if we want to start looking into it. So with these teams involved, obviously the NFC North is it. Look at the remaining schedules here for the teams. Okay. And down the stretch. That's a lot of information. That's a lot of information to try and, right, goddamn fighter pilot. I don't know if I can see that from here. Come watch. Compare him on your head real quick. Oh, they all play black squiggly lines for the next fucking seven week. Just real quick. Just run down the next 10 games for all 17 years. Can you handle every possible? It's good idea. Who's got the best setup? In theory, in theory, knowing who everybody's playing down the stretch does matter. You know, it certainly does. We just feel like a win percentage of the total for each team. I mean, what in the world are we supposed to do with this? If you think our graphics department get a win percentage of all those teams, you're out of your mind. Yeah. Okay. As well ask them to split the atom. Can you point like that? At least the teams that are in the, you know, have a positive in green and a negative in red or something. I mean, not. Listen, it was a little bit of a late ad, late ads. Okay. This is my first time getting eyes on this. You can get eyes on one at a time here. We got four, five in the segment coming up. All right. We got the bears. They're on a buy. Then they got New Orleans. That's going left to right point on the road. That thing's giving. All right. That's tough. Jacksonville. Pretty tough. Miami. Not as tough. Buffalo. Very tough. Green Bay. Wow. They do have a tough. Not a tough game. Okay. Yeah. That's going to be Niners. Pretty tough. Let's go to San Fran, guys. All right. Offense. Pretty good. Defense. Not as good. Minnesota. Are they good? Are they not? We don't know. Not a lot of points. Seattle. Good. Lions. Good. Rams. Probably good. Chargers. Not good. Chiefs. Good. All right. I'm done with this. Let's take this. Come on. Let's do it. Five more teams. Not good. All right. All right. All right. San Fran's schedule. Easier than the bears. So at the current moment, bears easier. Up for them. San Fran. All right. Good. So what you're saying out of reading the first two teams schedules, I think you got a good piece of information. Which two of these teams you think, how Jake, if you're able to give a pick now, after learning all the information, we know all the information. All of it. It was clearly out there. Okay. It was clearly displayed. We seen it clear as day. Listen, just because we passed two columns. So I'll go out of the two columns. San Fran is the easier path than the bears out of those two columns. Okay. That's good journalism. Okay. I'm happy we did that. Two column decision. We believe that the teams that are able to run the ball and stop the run this year more so than ever are going to be the ones that are successful. But there's two obvious saying, I don't think so. Good. Yeah. That's kind of a bunch of football guys in here. It's kind of been a story forever. If you're not able to run the ball, especially late in the season playoffs, you're not going to be able to win a football. But the bangles, the packers are kind of breaking the mold with some MVP quarterback play. Packers, the bangles have run the ball better as of late. But do you think either one of these teams can make a serious run if they don't improve that run game? And then secondly, as an elite pass rusher, how does that change when the team doesn't have a real run game that you have to respect? Yeah. I mean, these two are obviously chucking it around the yard. We had the packers earlier in the year and the run game and their just game overall wasn't that great earlier in the year. And now flip on the game in New England and see them putting up 40 plus. And then the bangles obviously with T in which are more like just absurd through the year, what they're able to do. But from a defensive standpoint, like it changes everything when you're playing against a team that can run the ball versus one that you're fairly confident can't because you can tee off. And now getting the ball out quick and there's a lot of things that you can do where even if the defense knows that you're passing, that makes it difficult. But when you have to respect the run game and you have to earn your way to rush the passer, it is much more difficult and it makes you just have to be that much more hesitant at the line of scrimmage, especially on first and second down. Now, you get into second and seventh plus. That's a very clear generally teams are about 80, 85% pass in those situations. So you get two third downs in a row there. But for the most part, on first down, especially if a team can keep it generally balanced, much, much more difficult because you're just not getting out of the starting blocks anywhere near as fast because if you do, you can really screw yourself in the run game. Well, if you look at the remaining strength of schedule for those two teams, we have a graphic here. Wow. Okay. See that data. Niners. This is from SF data. Niners. Yeah, this is the remaining strength of schedules and the story line that being told here, the NFC North. All right. So I was right about the bears. I was right about the bears. Yeah. Yeah. You got a good read on it. I mean, it would have been nice. We could just have the seven teams we were talking about. But that's okay. We can break it down. So it was the bears, Packers, Lions, Rams. They were all in that graphic. Vikings also high up there. Niners on it. The Seahawks. Seahawks are right there in the middle. So you got a little bit of an easier one. That's what it is. They're out. Where's the Niners? Downs are lower. We were right. Niners are down there in the middle. So I think what we're saying is pretty good graphic earlier. Right? I think we're saying good info. I mean, put it on the Emmy. We're - We all for sure, that's definitely-- - Buddy, I'm gonna let you know. I don't know if we're, I don't know if we're gonna-- - I don't think so. - We don't check us. - We're in a good time. - Come on, it was a great time. It was a fun time. We should just go to New York on like a random-- - And say it's the trade for me. - And we all hang out and then we go to like the movies or get like tuned up somewhere. - Theater of some sort. - Yeah, you're gonna fly out of New York. What you wanna do is go sit in the movie theater. That's definitely-- - Well, let's plan. - Can't do that in India. - Is it the mosquito bowl? Yeah, I'll go watch it. Thanks, Ty. - Dude, it's good for me. - I'll try and also watch that in Indiana. I'm just saying, you might wanna do something you can't do where you are. - Broadway. - I'm gonna fly somewhere. - Let's go Broadway. - Broadway, Broadway, Broadway. Maybe a magic show. - Yeah, yeah, let's go Broadway. - 'Cause then we can get dressed up and then we can do a whole-- - Can you do a Broadway show? Could you turn the mosquito bowl into a Broadway show? With that? - No. - Or we can do a McAfee show on Broadway. - That's down the road. I think that's done, bro. - Do we play everybody? - I think that's down the road. I do think the Broadway, I'm a big fan of Broadway. A lot of people would not think that. I've seen Hamilton. I've gone shows off Broadway. I've gone to magic shows, stories shows. I've got, I mean, a train and mat there from South Park to book a Mormon. I've been to that four times. I like-- - I think Zach Galifanakis would play Connor. - I'm more so thinking Paul Walter Hauser 'cause Galifanakis has kind of gotten jacked lately. - Oh, is he super fit? Walter Hauser might do that as well. - He's way-- - Oh, jeez. - To Zach Galifanakis, thank you. - Oh, it's a jack, to be a jack, yeah. - Okay, I like it a little bit. - I'm giving you a compliment. I'm giving you a compliment. - I know, I said day. - But I think-- - But I think-- - But be a friend, tell a friend something nice, change your life. - That didn't change my life, but-- - PWAs would be sick for you. - You can't change it unless you try. I didn't say it would change your life. I just said I might. - Yeah, well, it could, is to say, it could. - Oh, it could, okay, I thought it might. I thought it was might change their life. - I mean, similar words, but it could change your life. - Okay, AJ, I'm trying to figure out who would play you. - Denzel Washington, I said that since I was five years old. - Okay, I'm actually-- - I'm not sure if Stonehenge Rock was probably the second option. - No, I love Denzel. I think he could, he could get it. - He could capture, yeah. - I could capture my essence. - Whoa, yeah. - I don't know if the jawline's gonna be there, but I definitely-- - Denzel, I'll get it in the character. - Oh, she could do it. - He's got it. - He would definitely do it. And hopefully he does try to go all the way and look like AJ. And on that note, shout out Druskey. Highest rate is, shout out live in years. - Absolutely, Druskey. - Absolutely, Druskey's AJ. - Yeah, maybe Druskey's AJ. - Yeah, I'd be honored. - Ah, Druskey's probably you, buddy. I can't wait to see you until he dives into that. If you see, you can't get the flag. You can't get the flag waving on the arm. - No chance, no chance. - Highest rated Saturday live in years.

We didn't have time. - In place? - I did. I thought I saw that. But it wasn't at the end of the hour. That was at like 1215. - You did it? the hours on 1215. Well, that's whatever, you know, you got it. We need one three minute. It was in there. James kind of covered it. Kind of hit it. Now, hit it square on the head. Well, he didn't know. He wasn't square. It was kind of offset. It's not square. Maybe they all kind of went down a little bit, like, you know, or you could still be able to hang a picture on it. Definitely. Well said. That didn't out impossible. That thing is sideways in there for a long hole. We're just kind of banking on the wood to be good and the integrity of the nail to remain. Yes. But it's in there. He gave an example. He left by example there. Yeah, because he gave me yes. Well, you took it back. You made me I was trying to give you and you said no. But we thought you were aching. Yeah, but we thought because of past things that you said, like when he was getting a donut and, uh, at soccer tournament, uh, you know, across, uh, 2000 people. That was the pain. You play the play that's being played. And at that time, that's what was happening. We had a large human being in line for donuts trying to heckle somebody else. And he just wasn't ready for it to come back. It wasn't heckling. I was just booing. Just friendly. Spork bent. Now you look great. Now you look fantastic. Get married and all of a sudden everything changes. Fantastic. I told his wife that this weekend, uh, she was at the Colts game because her dad and her family. I believe big Cowboys fans. Yep. Cowboys came into town. They came to the game. And I stopped Natalie, uh, for like a 30 second thing. And this is not really, I said, I need you to know.

And I think we all see it con, man. So it's all about man. Shout out to Matt. Shout out to our family. Her dad. Her dad's coach of, uh, Southern Illinois, the Slookies. Okay, so we are telling Slookies. Yeah. So he's a coach of Slookies. Long time coach in South Dakota. I believe South Dakota state. Yeah, it's got like 600 and 10 wins. Yeah, Jack rabbits for 20 plus years. Yeah, he's a weapon. Yeah, absolute weapon. Had no faith in the Cowboys. Absolutely none. Classic Cowboys fan. It was incredible. Tyrese's dad, I believe is a Cowboys fan. Texas. He got invited to, uh, Tyrese Halliburton's dad is a massive Cowboys fan. He got invited to come watch the game in the sweet. He said, I'm not going to support this team. I like that. That was a wild game. Yeah, they got it done. What do you mean, wild game? Wild game. Let him score it again, right? Yeah, I was no muscle. Legally, um, I wasn't done that. There's a lot of things happening right now for one particular organization that you might not have done. Okay, you just got to have faith in the future. Okay, that's what you should have faith in the future. That's what we got to do. Daniel Jones is our quarterback going in the rest of the way. I love Daniel Jones. I appreciate Daniel Jones. I die. I think Daniel Jones knows he's been playing bad football. Mm-hmm. No, no. I'd hope so. Now, you get rid of his best weapons. Okay, let's get rid of Josh Dines. Let's get rid of Keenan Allen. I look fierce. Let's get rid of Quentin Nelson. Got Tyler Warren. Reset the shoe. So, I mean, sorry. Yeah, I just don't understand why they wouldn't trade Taylor if they're resetting everything. Yeah, and how can the reloading, bro? No, they're not. More importantly, I got the cash. A patch at GPT put the cash for us. Oh, I would like them. I would like that. Where do you want to start? No, no, no, we're starting A.J. He's a denser. No, no, it is Taylor Kischt. Oh, great. Taylor Kischt. He's right. He's right. He's right. He's a bit. The guy in the comments.

That was one of the funniest moments I've ever watched on this show. You're talking about the brothers? Yes. And these two unbelievable. I mean, I texted them literally right after a little segment. It was unbelievable. Yeah. Somebody was snoring at the beginning of this story. That was him. Yeah. I mean, Chuck comes in here and he battles. He does, doesn't he? I mean, he comes in here and he really does bad. He thinks he's got just bullets in his back pocket. And then he tells these stories that just take forever. Pablo Keshavish. Oh, hey, James, here we go. Chachi B is giving an answer to D. I know the face. I didn't know the name. Alan Richston. Oh, wow. Rich. Blue mountain state. Dude, he's on.

I don't. - Yeah. - I just have to do it. - One on one. - One on one. - It was just like 405. - And yeah. - Is that cell phone? - It's not even locked in. It had just kind of chilly. - I mean, that's a real photograph, right? - It is. - What? That's a guy you walked. That's why this guy's you. - Jack Reach. - There you go, that's-- - We didn't make this decision. - Love it. - You won't be mad at us. - Love it. - Say yeah. - And we're about sick of what AI's doing all these jobs through, aren't we? Some of them. - Boy. Got into it this morning. Just a little bit of a-- - With who? - Just the Thunderdum think tank as a whole. A lot of booing at AI, right? - Got a lot of brain power in that. - Thank you. - And-- - You're welcome. See? You're a friend-telever and something nice. Might change your life, or could change your life. - Could change your life. - Yeah, could change your life. It's all right. It might change your life. - Okay, what was the debate? - A lot of booing of AI by the youngs right now. A lot of booing, like college campuses. Whenever there's a ceremony, a graduation ceremony, an AI's reference, a lot of booing. Debuts said his teenage kids. - Hate it every time I use it, but I'm-- Fuck it. - Yeah, I love it. - Well, that's kind of what I'm saying, is it feels like it is going to become a part of our lives, but the younger generation that's about to take over and kind of influence a lot of things, they seemingly very, very, very against it. So I was like, why aren't these younger generations being taught how to use AI? And then all of a sudden, you start here and the reasons why they hate it. It's like, oh, fuck, yeah. I mean, most of these jobs. - Hit me with a couple. - Basically, any job that could get replaced by AI, probably will, you know, like finance world, feels like that's going to be something that computers are just going to be able to take care of because, you know, money is just like a number on a screen in that world. So you would think that the screen would be able to kind of do its own thing. And then like, office jobs, you know, let alone, I mean, who said it, Bailey said, just the other night, I saw AI mopping the floors and blah, blah, blah, you know, 'cause you think about the robots that are mopping floors, then Waymo, you know, Uber drivers, I mean, Uber drivers don't even really have, it's like-- - Coding. - Coding is obviously about to be gone 'cause the AI is doing it. It's like, you start rattling off the professions that are just going to not be supplying jobs anymore. - The writers had to take a strike. - Writers, yeah. It's really performance and then like restaurants, like cooking and things to that nature. Like those are the ones that you would be like, all right, like those are safe. - Hardware jobs. Hardware jobs will be good. You would think things like that have to happen. - Bummers and electricians, that's why we need them. - Mechanics, mechanics, people that are good at working on computers, that's good, but it's like-- - Healthcare. - Mike Rose, been on this for a long time. - Yeah. - I've been talking about the lack of workforce and the labor in the trades. And he's been all over this for a very long time. And I mean, obviously, absolutely correct. - Yeah, so it's, once you start rattling off all the professions that are potentially not gonna really be available anymore, it's like, oh, I could see why the younger generations like, fuck that, but I would like to-- - I've been catching a lot of these Amazon packaged drones flying over the house. That's a wild thing. There's many drones going over the house every day. - Yeah, Amazon drivers, for anything really, just kind of getting replaced. It is a lot of jobs. Now, granted, there will be other professions that open up. We would assume that's kind of what happens in-- - You mean, yeah. - You would hope somebody's gonna build it, do it, yeah. - But that, I was very flushed. I'm like, why aren't they just teaming up with AI here? Like, you guys are the youngest generation. You could potentially learn AI better than everybody else and weaponize it better than all us olds. That's my natural reaction. And then the room and there was like, yeah, but what are they gonna, you know, a lot of jobs just disappear in real time in front of everybody's eyes. It's like, damn, I didn't think-- I guess I should have-- I didn't put myself in that particular position. But I do think just like sports gambling. Like, there's a lot of people that hate sports gambling. Sports gambling's gonna be a part of our lives going forward in the sports world. And it's like, we now have to set the tenor on how it's operating. Like, you gotta be responsible. It can't be an hassle. Like, we legitimately have to tell people, hey, this is certainly something that you can abuse and can go the wrong way, just like most things in life. But like, if we do it responsibly, this is gonna be a part of our life. This is what it has to be. Like, AI is gonna be a part of shit going forward. It feels like all the bazillionaires that kind of control everything that's happening are all utilizing it and take advantage of it. It's like, it's gonna happen. I didn't think about all the things that's just gonna steamroll though in the process. - There's some good news. A lot of AI developers are smoking cigarettes now because they believe AI will heal cancer very, very soon. So, cigarettes are back. - That's the good news. - Yeah, that's great news. - All right, all right. - Let's take a break. - Clearly, we still, it's Natalie, correct? - Yeah, we still got some stuff to do here. - She's fucking down with the business, baby. (laughing) - We're not a finished product. Yeah, she's a little chipped in a way at that rock, brother, right? I'll get it there. (laughing) - You know what's under there though? - There is a good sculpture under there and we're finding it every day. - There you go. - You're looking like Jack, Gallifinac, his brother. - Exactly, and soon we'll be able to smoke six. - All right, that's not. - You can still smoke 'em anyways. - With no repercussions. - No, you shouldn't, you shouldn't though. - But you could. - I'm not big six guy, I never had been. - You're missing out, bro? - I don't think so. I don't, I don't know. - I don't think so. I do not. - But it is an interesting thing to think like the cures of stuff that could potentially come because by these, 'cause what the Mathematists were all pissed off. - I mean they self, they've solved equations that have never been able to be self. - And the Mathematists are like, this ain't what it is. Okay, the process of figuring it out is what the math is, actually, and then this AI prick just comes in and says, oh, the answer's been her all along, boys. Boom, right there. And it's like, now our lives are over. What's burps of Einstein? If you can't fuck with the Einstein stuff? - That's like saying, that's like saying, the beauty is the walk, so we should never invent cars. Like, come on. Like, you can walk, if you want to walk, and you can drive a car if you want to get there faster. - Yeah, or you can do the math problem. - Or you can have the car drive with you. - Yeah, or the robot drives you. You just hop in there, you open it up. - Do you guys hop in one of those? - No! - Absolutely, can't wait. - I haven't done it yet. - What, the way most? - Yeah, I haven't done it yet. - Yeah, it made some of my favorites. That's 'cause you jerk off at 'em. (laughing) - His camera's inside too, right? - His camera's all over. They talked to you, right? - Yeah, I hope not, thank you. - They let you know. - Oh, nice penis, thank you. Like the robot voice. - What's on it, that's not how it is. - This show. - You've got an absolute hog, thank you. (laughing) - I mean, we don't know. I've never been able to choose the voice. And I never did. - Have you choose the voice? - So he says it happens. - Oh yeah. - Got like ways. - Yeah. - Okay. - Probably. - All right, let's get to our break. We don't know if anything's true. We don't know if that's true. James, thank you so much for joining us. May we do the best? (laughing) - Just a macro anywhere I thought it was going to show. It was a show. - We're talking about real life here, bro. - That's it. That's it. Do your friend tell a friend something nice? Connor. - There. - You. (laughing) - Please jump in, Jay-Jay-Wall, thank you. (clapping) - You know what I mean? Say about ACU's activities in his way, bro. I don't know, I don't know. We know you don't do that. - Thank you. - Oh yeah, thank you. - No, we don't. - He doesn't do that. - You do not know that. - We do know that. 'Cause that's not the right thing. - I'm an adult, guys. I'm an adult. We never do that. Dude, you were just waving a flag on your arm for us. What do you mean? - That's cool piece of art. - I mean, if he's in there by himself though, who are we to say that he shouldn't do that? - Wait, you're not by yourself. - Man, I can also do that in my shower. Why wouldn't he get into a Waymo to do that? - 'Cause some of you freaks, I'm not saying you're a freak, but some of you freaks do like getting out and doing the weirdo stuff. - You know what's interesting is you said, some of you freaks, I'm not saying you're a freak, but then referred to you again as pointing to me. I see what you did. - Sorry, some of-- - There it is. The freaks. - Yeah, people like you. - I can see bone hopping in a Waymo, heading to McDonald's, getting the quick jerk in, 'cause he didn't wanna drive himself. I hope that's not happening. You're never alone in this world that we're in. You learn that watching like-- - Liverpool. - Date line or whatever, what's that? - Never walk alone. - Yeah. - I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about surveillance state, especially with the amount of sensors in a Waymo, but yeah, you're right. Liverpool ads never walk alone. - That's right. - Yeah, they're with each other. - That's right. - How was Liverpool doing this year? - Good, New Gaffer's got us buzzing right now. - Always got a New Gaffer. This is the fifth straight year of a New Gaffer. Second year, our old Gaffer won us the league this first season, but that was basically Klopp's team. So the second team, he was an asshole, start being really just wasn't a Liverpool lad. This New Gaffer, he's got us buzzing. He's got us playing the Liverpool way. - Oh, so the guy walked alone in Earth. - Wow. - Well, he kind of made that decision by himself, by the way, he talked about the team, the players, the fans. He didn't really ingrain himself in Liverpool. He never moved. - Like winning them. - Yeah, exactly. - Kyle winning in. - Was he a real scouser? - Yeah, he wasn't a scouser, it's figured out over there. - I don't take that. - Give it a rest, Deepa. - You guys are taking Panchatino? - There's Rommelings that he's going to take the man. - Manchester United. - They're actually in the bottom three relegation right now. So if he takes that job, be a damn shame if they got relegated. - Smart guy. I love punch do yourself a favorite brother get the fuck out of the national team like you don't want to go there Dude they got no money. They're tied up He's gonna resurrect you he might want to go there because he sees what's on the other side Oh, if we're lucky we'll get be eight nil in the knockout round at the next World Cup eight No, you think we're getting worse with punch with four years. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

We got good D And I'll tell you I'm a little heartbroken about the future of the U.S. Soccer Got Pepcumber. We're getting Pep. Doesn't fucking matter at all. We got deep loss. We gave Podge like a hundred million dollars We got like the the head of a huge hedge fund paying out the wazoo for these coaches I think there's an actual chance at the end of the day We don't got the guys, okay? I don't care if God is coaching our team. We don't got the guys, okay? We don't we there's no fucking point in doing this. Are best guys? Our teenager was really good He's at Philadelphia Union spades best guy He's been in the fucking best league on the planet since he was 15 We don't got the guys and we're never gonna have the guys, okay? So I didn't pep whatever it doesn't matter We don't have the guys gentlemen and we never will cabin Sullivan exactly unbelievable enough I know It is never happening. It's never coming home soccer will never be big in the states. It doesn't fucking matter We don't we got the women. They just plan why receivers see out of sea hawks and it's associated bangles and guess what? I'd rather it be that way Yeah, yeah, we don't need to do this big. No, hey, let's take 50% of our best athletes and make them play soccer So these guys can't go fucking play in the NFL or the NBA Stop that bullshit right now. Hey, you know early in Holland would have the fastest time in the NFL this year What fastest what time what do you mean? So like you know, they do the miles per hour thing He has the fastest miles per hour In the world. It's a little different. We got showed it doesn't matter home. It's already And also I was gonna say the early Holland's running one slant and he's getting broken in half Send his ass back to Norway and I love early. My homes could use them right now Yeah as we talk about Americans that could be good soccer players, but choose to play other sports We are very lucky that the NFL has sent over to us if you want to turn down that music the players of the week. Ladies and gentlemen, keep grass in these lads. Okay, we're winning the AFC and NFC players of the week coming out of week nine. CJ Stroud of the Houston Texans, Chris Stone Cold Jones, KM Little, absolute stud, Green Bay Packers quarterback. Jordan Love goes up to New England and slices and dices. Arvel Reese fresh off a three-sack performance in Jake Bates, older liable out of the U.F.L. for the Detroit Lions wins, players of the week. Congratulations, Ty, I know this is big for Jordan Love. If he was on our U.S. men's national team, though, we might have a chance in the world. If he was on the U.S. men's national team instead of the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, I would stick a shot under my mouth and blow my brains out. Sure. I get that. I don't need that. Yeah, so thank God, you know, that God, they put a football in his hand. Yeah, shout out to his dad. Yeah, now he's in mom, now he's winning players of the week. Exactly. Thank you. Love you, J. Love. Congrats to these guys. We are lucky and pumped that we get to watch them week in week out. Arvel Reese becoming a real problem weekly, A.J. Hawk. Yeah, the guy seems to be unblocked. Well, obviously they let him go free off the edge. That hopefully is the last time that happens. He's going to annihilate a quarterback and put him in the ground. But yeah, Arvel Reese, he's really coming into his own set on in, man. The guy's an absolute physical freak. It's fun to watch. You assume my stare was in the conversation. Nobody nobody even looked at him. I don't believe that I was tough. I'll pop one for him and send her back. That's a good one there. Big Gabby out there. What position would he play, Gumps? Arvel center back. Yeah, exactly authority, you know, a little bit of an enforcer back air. We wouldn't know his name. We would watch him win the World Cup for sure if he was to do that. Ohio State stinks this year. Is there a reason A.J. in your eyes? Maybe on the defensive side, why it looks a little different? Well, you know, they did lose a lot of talented players. No question, obviously, sunny styles. We know Caleb Downs has the game ceiling interception last week for the Cowboys. So yeah, they lost some talent, but their season's on over. They still got three games left this regular season. Yes, they certainly do. And there's a big one on the schedule, even if the other team's coach doesn't know. C.J. throughout Christians and Cam little round out. Congrats, boys, we're happy for you. Thankfully, you play American football. Thank God. Yes, very thankful. Always improve. Let's get to our break on the other side. We gotta go into trenches. We got a situation on the report. We got some good deal. We got an incredible chatter about sports as a whole. What a day this is. We're lucky to be here. Thank for being here. Be a friend to our friend something nice. It might change their life. Here we go. Might, it sounds better. Take, fight. Fight. It is the greatest. That's A.J. That's A.J. Hawk. The toxic table is here. At Boston Conor and at Thai Schmidt. Nine-year NFL vet, Darius J. Butler is here. Yes, Eric. Cool hat. Thank you. That's cool. That's first time I've seen that out. Very sweet. Nice. Cool hat. We had some hats set in here. Some sample hats for us to put on there. I don't know if you guys have been checking that out. One half of the hammer, Cowboys Bubble Gumpino has about 4,000. Oh, yeah. I think anytime a new hat pops in here, I just assume it's out of Gumpi's apartment, which is a bed of couch, five TVs and 300 hats. That is how Gumpi's living. Gumpi, we appreciate the hell out of you. Good luck to your dolphins this weekend as they come into the lothouse. Lucas Walsh Stadium. Yeah, it's a big one. Kyle McCord at the helm. So we'll see how he does in his first start. Kyle McCord versus Daniel Jones. It's good as it gets. Ah, boy. That's the worst game in how many years, at least three. We still got eight games left. That's one of them. Butler is going to be there and he's going to be attentive and excited. What are we? Our coach alumni and times of need is when coach fans and ex-players show up. I have a social presence. Okay, I appreciate it. But we need that. I thought he was doing half time. No. So are you, you're not going to that game? No. I'm worried a lot of people. Those are two of my teams. Yeah. I'm worried a lot of people aren't going to go to that game. I think there's going to be a lot of people dressed like seats there. It's probably a safe assumption. With that being said, we did order triple order of chicken tenders. Wow. Kind of need people to go to the game, got a send a message. Last week he was Cowboys fans and filled them up. It was so loud. No traffic driving from where I live to downtown. No traffic. Downtown? A lot of foot traffic. Hotel is eating. You're well. You know, things going. A lot of Cowboys fans coming into town. For me, driving into the city was nice, it was very nice, nice trip into downtown. So I thought maybe there's going to be nobody in the stands and then he get there and it's like, oh no, Cowboys fans are everywhere in this place. In Miami Dolphins fans, I just don't know if they travel as well as Cowboys fans. But if you are to go to the game, you can save 30 bucks right now with Seekheak, you know, the greatest ticket buying platform on planet earth and the moon. I might get you in a lower bowl. Well, 635, row 15. You have two tickets for 36 bucks there, 30 dollars off. I don't know if you're able to do. Holy shit. Well, Seek's probably tripped to where they pay you. What's that, buddy? Probably figured out where they might pay you to go to the game. There are some restrictions that apply with Seekheak, remember, you get $30 off, but if the tickets are worth less than 30 bucks, they're not getting $4 back on an internet. There are some restrictions that apply. Like I would assume $36 tickets might be a part of the restrictions. But if you are to go to any live event, you need to go through Seekheak, the greatest ticket buying platform. They will tell you if it's a good seat or a bad seat, they'll give you a little green dot or a red dot. I'd assume $36 getting a game watch NFL football, Daniel Jones, A.N. Jonathan Taylor on that field. Okay. Let a calm record for the Miami Dolphins coming in town. That's going to be something you're going to want to see and be live, especially here in Indianapolis. Connor, I can't wait to see you celebrate the hell out of ball this weekend at Luke's whole stadium. I'm genuinely shocked. I'm starting to set in because I will be there. Patriots by the lines at 9/30 in the morning, good morning game. So I might be a little late. I'm bummed out, I love going to the games and this one, this one hurts because this is going to be the worst football game I've ever been dropping to pop Warner Bealey games. But this one might top it as the worst 60 minutes of football. I will ever be a part of, but hey, look, it's not as if I pay for the stadium. Oh, wait, I do. It's not as if I was promised to super balls by 2030. Oh, wait, I was. So what is going to happen in there? I don't know. What I do know, I fucking trust dots, I know dots didn't drop his phone in the toilet and that's why Jonathan Taylor didn't get traded. I know he's fucking in the lab. I know Alex Pierce is working his butt off to get back out on that field because it matters. Got a lot of games left here, a lot of games, a lot of games left. They are kind of robbing us from happiness, which is what that suite is on Sunday. And it's so fun, genuinely enjoy it every single time we get to go. This fucking sucks. At least last week we got to watch the Cowboys, I got to watch Kyle McCourt, fuck that in the words of Todd monkey. Good chicken tenders on the way though. We had to put our order in yesterday. We are still going to be down in the loudhouse. We don't know how many people over under 20,000 under no, what they say, those say to sell out there. Don't they always? It's selling, I think. I think they'll be, well, it might have sold out because the ticket's selling, but it won't be a fill up, you know, like difference between tickets being bought and then people deciding to drive down, do the whole song and dance. Let's park, let's walk, let's get dressed, let's do it, let's experience it, let's get back in car, let's sit in maybe no traffic, let's get back, let's commit an entire, we can't watch the other games. You know, whenever you're at the Lucas O'Stay, it's kind of tough whenever you're watching that today. So you're really relying on the die hearts there from both teams live and real person. So I hope it happens, but we got a lot of games left. So we can still turn around. Dan Jones, so quarterback, we got beat this Miami team, but I'm pulling for the fence. I'm pulling for the fence in a blowout, have to because the Colton, they need to hit rock bottom. Yep, they need it. They need it. So you got to sink the shoe. The thing's got to go all the way down. The first tag. Sink the shoe. Oh, reset. Well, he sounds like a horse. Reset the shoe isn't enough. You got to sink the shoe completely fucking buried into the ground. There's been a hoof guy that's made his way into my, into my world clean and horse, horse hoofs. That's a pretty detailed. Yeah, it's crazy. And it seems like it would be painful, but they say it's like fingernails to them, right? Yeah, they got metal things digging in there, like peeling away whatever that cartilage is that car. I don't know what that is. Yeah. The guy that's like refitting them with new horse shoes, right, and then nails them into their, it's crazy. Yeah, it does. We get asked, "Hornow sometime. Hornow probably does that." Yeah, definitely. As I'm watching those videos, I'm just thinking about what the Indianapolis Colts have, that we haven't read due to the shoe. Yeah. Yeah. For a cold. We're going to play it in a jumbo chart in this week, for sure. But maybe for the intact, because it takes a lot longer than you expect whenever you decide to get in there. You know, like this video starts, you don't look at the time, and it just starts and it's like, "Oh, that's got to be it. Like it's got to be, no, another machine, or another little device comes out. We're cutting into the things, we're shaving around, we're doing it. Now we got to sand it, it's like a 10 minute video. You can run it for the entire day of warm-ups, basically, and say, like, this is what we're doing right now. It's not a bad idea. You think less than 20,000 people, that'd be. Yeah. No. No. Absolutely. They had to tarp off the top, the whole top deck. That's it. Why would Miami fans come to India? some electrifying rookies. Okay, maybe electrifying rookies. Riga is a stud. I know that. Who's on a oval? Caleb Douglas. Blue. Not what he would do it. Dolphin's lost her bestie tackle, too. He's out. I wouldn't go that far. He's a monster. Who do the coats have? So this is the other side of the coin here. You know, Chiefs, congratulations. Jacksonville Jaguars, congratulations. Niners, congratulations. Chicago Bears, congratulations. All the teams that are making moves, congratulations. On the other side, there's teams with eight games left. We are sitting here that are in the middle of like a half-ass tank job rebuild. Who knows? And it's like, we have to live through this now. In real time, we have to live through this. You know, looking back on it's like, hey, had to have those hard days to be able to have our team. You never really remember how terrible the days were. Like, these are about to be some bad, bad games for the Indianapolis coats. For hopefully the betterment of the future, but who knows at this exact time? Because we have no idea who's going to be making those decisions. And they ultimately front office kind of want to lose out fans long term. Kind of want to lose out so you get higher picks. Obviously, we don't have a first-round pick. 34, though. These have a high, you know, second-round pick, have high third-round pick, whatever. I mean, they could mess around and lose when some games, though, D. But you see that schedule, like, they could honestly win. Like, that's pretty, that's set up pretty nice for the coats. We got the New York Giants coming to town. That'll be a fill-up. Okay, I like that. New York Giants will fill-up for the coaches. Oh, yeah. The Angles will definitely drive around. Players and coaches want to win, I agree. Players and coaches for sure want to win. Put it on tape. Like, whenever I was a part of the suck for luckier, people were saying that we were sucking for luck. No players I know were sucking for luck. Like, we can only put so much on tape. And I guess unless you're like a premier person, like a premier player, it doesn't matter. But the players on the field are certainly not going to want to put ass on film. Us not having a one really does make it difficult whenever you're like, we're tankin', we're tankin'. For the New York Giants, that's who we're currently tankin' for. We might have 20,000 people in a stand this weekend. I think that would be a lot, if that was to happen. And maybe more will come, especially with how affordable it is and how good of a time. And how beautiful Lucas O'Lostadium actually is. But if we're not even going to get a one out of this thing. Oh, yeah, it's got a package. Like, you could have gotten a two of five and then packaged a two, a three, and a five and moved up. We still have the time to do this. We still have time to do this. But moved up to where? Like, 28. Either way, you're not getting, you're not just, you're not getting one of those top picks. Yeah, but if you want to talk about bundling-- If you package exactly. Yeah, if you want to talk about bundling, you get a late first rounder with a couple of other seconds and thirds. I think you have a chance to bundle up into the top 15. Maybe into the top 10, if you're able to reach their late in the top 10. We're not going to get top five pick. What's we're earning for the jets right now? The jets are set up in a beautiful way if they hit. This is kind of how the entire conversation always goes. It's like, well, they got two good picks back. They got two good picks back. That's if it's actually two good picks. Rods tell us the picks are going to be asked. Okay, that's what Rods tell us is, more guys are going to be buss than they're going to be success stories. But in theory, all these draft picks are going to be good. Like, we'll get a good fifth round pick. We'll get a good third round pick as opposed to the 80% of fifth rounders that never make it in the NFL and actually never have a chance. So I think us players because what we've seen and how asked some draft picks have been throughout our career, we are much more likely to lean towards established players. Let's give up picks for that. And I think it's what the Jacksonville Jaguar said. I think Jacksonville Jaguar has clearly said, hey, the draft is just to get players. We got players and we like the players and we're able to pay all of them somehow. Like, I don't know how they're able to pay everybody because they've already paid Trevor Lawrence. They got a stacked roster with a lot of seemingly very expensive parts to it. And it doesn't sound like there's any drama around it at all. And the Trevor Lawrence deal, if you look at it, is extremely affordable in comparison to other quarterback deals. Like, extremely affordable. Yeah, and if you look at the Jacksonville Jaguars, I think we think to ourselves that with the roster they've assembled, it's like, are they putting together the Avengers down there in Duval, at least going on a quick run here. Try to hit this thing, feels like it. You know the other team that we thought was putting together the Avengers? Who's that? Their team is going to have to make up a lot of ground as the season ends. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for AQ's take away. Miles of Mayhem. Sick little graphic obviously. Miles Garrett comes back. He has three sacks, but he did it in a variety of different ways. And that's what I love about when you watch him. He doesn't just line up on the left. He doesn't just line up on the right. He goes all over this first clip. They got him lined up on the left. There he is highlighted, but notice two tight ends on the right. That is crucial here because they're trying to run some type of play action past. Get one tight end over. You get the bluff. He reads it gets underneath. Look at that matrix move. He gets outside of the second tight end strip, sack, fumble. Unbelievable job makes his presence known all the time. Let's go to the next clip. When you see the next clip, he's lined up on the right side. So he doesn't just line up on the left side like TJ Watt most of the time right. He goes all over the place. He's one of the best players in the world, but this guy moves all over. And you're going to see why there he is. He gets the dip and rip around the outside. And then this next one, I train a bunch of centers. And I'd love to give a coaching point to this center right here. There is no fucking coaching point. This is one of the best players in the world against the center in space who's not used to having space. He makes one move outside and then gets the edge and gets the sack in a very critical moment towards the end of the game. Okay, so Miles Garrett's able to do it on the left. He's able to do it on the right. He does it up the middle. He can kind of get it how he wants to. And whenever he and Aaron Donald were pieced on the same D line together. In theory, we're excited for the magic to happen. Is this going to be every single week like we've seen in the past with what we were expecting coming into the year versus what we've seen as far? I think this is only the tip of the iceberg. I really do. And as I watched this, right, I think they were still very cautious in what they were doing with him. Obviously this move, critical moment. He's a closer, go make a play. But I do think you're going to start seeing these overload looks and start getting those twist games going with him and Aaron Donald, two of the best. But again, these moves right here, it's that it's that Euro step move. He's one of one that can do that. He's six foot six, six foot seven, 270 pounds. He's able to go outside inside Euro step, use the inside chop and then get parallel to the ground as he bends around these guys and ends up always getting the end. We watched a Euro move out of wide receivers and obviously NBA players at basketball. That's where it started the Euro step. He's way too big to be able to do that. He's what we're saying. He's like, there's no reason he should be able to have the flexibility, the explosion, the size and the power and also the football IQ to be able to accomplish all these things. And he is in one particular soul. Yeah, there's no reason for him to be able to do the things that he does. And that is what has made him arguably the best pass rusher of his generation between him and TJ probably the two best, right? But when you look at what he does, it's all of these things where he moves around. He stands up, he dribbles a basketball over top of this. You know, demoralizing that is to be a six foot two. You're not the most athletic guy in the world. You're playing center now, you're putting space as they double fan both sides. You're in a one on one situation with that freak isoid. I mean, it is impossible to block. You're not out on the Rams. It sounds like. And is that because of the miles of mayhem that we have ahead of us, even though Pukin Akua goes to the I.R.? I said that as soon as we walked in today, you guys mentioned that Pukin goes there. They still got tight ends. They still got a good running game. Very good play caller, obviously, but the defense is going to have to carry them over the final weeks. And I think it starts with having him back. Debut, I was nice to see Miles Garret go back to being Miles Garret was in that first game against the Niners in Australia. He was suited up, but clearly was not Miles Garret. I thought he moved L.A. I thought I forgot how I played football. I thought we lost Miles Garret from our football world forever. I was completely wrong, worked zas off, obviously incredibly healthy. He comes back and picks up right where he left off whenever he was with the bronze. Instant impact, like you said, they're going to need them with, you know, missing Pukin, missing Devante, because I don't expect them to put up a ton of points. Matt Stafford, we know he's great. We know Sean McVeigh is great. But for whatever reason, Stafford hasn't been playing at that same level. So they're definitely going to have to lean on him. But I love when the guy gets back, you can tell that they didn't rush the rehab process. They let him get fully healthy to go on this run because I mean, they're damn near and play off mode right now with how the NFC is shaping up at the midpoint in the season. So they're going to need 95 to be at his best. I don't understand, AQ, that first play, is there no way for them to check out of that? Because there's no way they game plan to do this. This play action, 295 and trust that block to make it. Oh, they did. And it's crazy. And I don't know if you remember this or not, but this was literally week one or week two last year. The New Orleans Saints deployed this exact same game plan on Micah Parsons. They tried to just attack them. They would slide the line and get like a ripper list protection. They sent two tight ends at Micah Parsons. And it actually was a very effective move against Micah. But that's why this dude's so good. They try and bluff them to get them to go one way. And then they get the other one coming and he just goes outside inside, inside, outside, whatever it is. And he's so good. He's so good. AJ, what a hilarious display of athleticism. Let alone the two hands on the ground to pick himself back up after he works his way around a bluff. It's like outrageous. If he can stay healthy, there'll be everything we thought they were, right, AJ? Absolutely. And you're right. Like they said, they try to bluff him with that first tight end. So he dives down and maybe takes the dive, creates some space. Or then the tight end can maybe wall him off and get outside. And there's no chance. Like a guy that big should not be able to move like that. That's what it is right there. But going, "AQ, the one where he's standing up over the center, how would you plan on blocking that?" I see they have like, their tack was in like a wide three and they're both. They're actually trying to grab the guards and create some space to be C-55 right there. They're trying to grab them. What do you do? How do you block them? If we can go back and kind of pause this, Foxy, I don't know if you can actually. Once he starts the move here, so if you pause right there, right? He's trying to set you up. Keep getting depth. What I would tell my guys, and then he's gotta get to you. - And then the outside hip has to stay north and south. See how he opens it right there? The minute you open and give a short edge to a guy, this athletic, this big, this freakish, you got no chance. It's no different than the defense, no edge, no chance. No edge, no chance, right? It's the same thing here. If you have an edge on defense, you are going to lose 90% of the time. The biggest thing is keeping that outside hip up the field. That is your power point. - That's crazy. It's literally the same thing for offensive linemen. It's so many similarities to you guys to defensive backs. 'Cause that's like being on a line of scrimmage. As soon as you give a wide receiver out of the edge, you're not staying square and whiting them, get hands on them. You already lose that rep in the first five yards. - Another similarity between defensive backs and offensive linemen, which we're making on a regular basis in football conversations, never go off the field. - Yeah. - You know, D-Lion rotates. Okay, they get a breath of fresh air. Go ahead and get a squirt. Let's go ahead and do that. Offense alignment there, and they're just getting pounded. - Yeah. - How many plays did Miles Gerhard have? - Like 32. - How many did that center have? That is certainly outwitted out athletic. - Yeah, he was going on 85. You know, it's a massive difference. - We saw the platoon shifts with Minnesota. - Exactly. - Imagine the old line's dealing with that shit every T.J.Y. He's been rotating, I don't know if he's still rotating as much as it was earlier in the season. But yeah, when those guys get rested and come in on third downs or obvious passing, that's a fucking nightmare. - It's just like DB. - Yeah. - I mean, that's when you guys have-- You see you're on the field of running two take-offs and run you off, and then you got JSN on third and seventh. All right, thanks. - Hey, deal with it, you guys. - Deal with it. - Fucking deal with it. - Just deal with it. - It's part of the biz. - It is part of the biz. - I like it. I don't want a platoon because the Green Bay Packers platoon are offense of line, and they-- - That's no good. - And you get no chemistry. - What is this? - They're not doing it anymore. They're not doing it anymore, but they did for four years, probably, right, Ty? - I mean, pretty much. You just keep taking shots out of it. - Sorry, dude. - Sorry, sorry. - People starting left tackle. - I'm not taking a shot at them. - I don't know what you're doing. - Who's the star of people from the shipyard? - Yeah. - Yeah. - Tell them. - Yeah, Ty sent me a nice little-- nice little stat on Jordan Morgan. - Tell them. - About 180 pass reps. He's got one pressure. - I think allowed. - Who's this? Is this a shipyard alum? - Oh yeah, Jordan Morgan. Stubbed former first round pick. - Left tackle. - Left tackle. - Left tackle. - Master packers align every chance he gets. - No, no, no, no. - I'm talking the interior, I'm talking the interior. - I don't get it. - Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to dive deeper into the game. Deeper into the sport. It might actually showcase your team, Ty. - No, it doesn't. - On this Veterans Day, it kinda does. On this Veterans Day, it's not what you think. - Oh, okay, okay. Yeah, if we're going here then yeah, absolutely. - It's where we're headed, yeah. We are, we're moving right over there. On this Veterans Day, we like the tip of the cap to a situation report. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Deeper to dive in. - Deeper to dive in. - Let's go, Deeper to dive in. - It only underdog to get a win this past weekend and start it with Jordan Love. Obviously you needed a great offensive line to protect the guy, but he was slinging the rod. - 23. - Great protection. - 29. 372 yards, 3 TD zero interceptions. I also had a scamper on the ground to get attention as well. I'm gonna give you this number real quick. Seven for eight, targeting Watson. 10 for 10 targeting gold and so 20 for 22 when targeting wide receivers as a whole. And when I went into it, I'm like, okay, it's either going to be Joe Burl again, CJ Stroud again, or Jordan Love again in the sit rep. But we kind of have made the sit rep also kind of bad D and this was some terrible defense. Let's start with the first play. - Fuck you. - The kind of flavor of the week for the Packers were cut splints, stacks, quick counts, and early down aggression. It's kind of been their theme this season. First in 10 right here, you got golden, cut split. Just a cover to regular vertical route. Love is surprised that he's that wide open. And it's great as Jordan Love's numbers were, as well as he played. I think he would like to have a few of these throws back. This one, I mean, I think this should be a touchdown from him because this is wide open runs right by Kevin Bayer. I don't know what the miscommunication was, what the misunderstanding was. Bayer has been a long time, very good pro in this league, but just stands flat footed. Gonzales looks like he's playing cover to from the snap. Some people will look at this and maybe think his palms coverage. So you're reading number two and number two breaks. - Yeah, I was backwards taking the top draft to the flat. - Yep, so that lets you know that it's not, so he should have stayed vertical, or they're just all on a different page. I don't understand what's going on in the Patriots this week, but it looked absolutely terrible. So that's the first play. Second play, golden again. Now you got the top plate corner in the league, and this is why you trust them on an absolute island. Everybody else in this side of field is man to man. You're gonna have one post safety rotate to the middle of the field. He's gonna rotate, he's using the middle of the field safety. He's gonna rotate down and be the man to man guy. Now you, look at that. Nobody's within 20 yards of this matchup, golden against Gonzales. If I'm an doing a Patriot, I'm taking this matchup, going into the game. You throw it up and you just get out athleteed. This is why you draft receivers, corners, whoever you draft in the first round, because they can go up and make those type of plays in one-on-one situation. To the third play, Christian Watson. Now, once again, another blown coverage. This is like an inverted half. So you're gonna have a corner up top. He's gonna be the deep half defender. Two guys down here, gonna be the cover tour, quarters defenders down here, and then watch this play action. Once again, first and 10 in the alumni section. Watch how these guys get sucked up, and then these guys, once again, on the back end of the coverage, gonna blow it, once again, gonna be way too easy. Now, backside defender, we saw it in the Minnesota game. Sometimes when you don't have work, you don't have a vertical threat, you get deep and find it. Right now, I think drawer level, once again, hit nine right now. Wide ass open, throw it, hit him and strides, gonna walk it to the end zone. He kinda waits and almost throws this interception. He doesn't get his head back and stay. He gets the PI and Christian Watson still makes the unbelievable catch down the field. So yes, your love made good throws. It was good concepts, but the coverage was absolutely terrible. Communication, verbal and nonverbal. We talk about it home defense. You have to communicate. You got a point, third and five right here. Right now, it's three guys working together. Nope. Now it's only gonna be two guys working together. I'll tell you the flavor of the week where stacks. Stacks, force communication, even a man to man coverage. Right now, it's locked. It's easy. I got this guy. You got that guy. But for whatever reason Gonzalez, can you pause right here actually, Foxy? Whatever reason Gonzalez backs Jones off and say, hey, let's combo this, right? I don't wanna lock it. Let's combo it. Now, combo is, I got the outside guy. If I'm the corn, you can play it now, Foxy. I got the outside guy. You got the inside guy as a nickel. Right here. Who is the inside guy? Who is the outside guy? So this is the confusion that you get with corner backs. And these guys have played a ton of reps together. Vante Davis, rest in peace. We had a ton of reps together. We knew exactly how we were gonna play every stack. Right now, Golden, he's kind of trailing behind, which is a good play design. And boom, you get two guys taking one and a wide ass open receiver, even though you have those droppers in the interior of the defense. So great execution, offensive wise, poor execution once again on the defense and now the fifth one, which is another touchdown. And this is a quarter. Fifth one. It's the fifth place. That's a lot. No, no, it's the fifth place. The second touchdown in the clip. He had three, but it's just a second in the one. It right here. Once again, veteran players. Quarters with Kevin Byrett. Kevin Byrett, Gonzo. Max Pro, first and 10 once again. So you got seven guys in here running back. He's gonna get out to the flat. Tight formation. Once again, Golden, he's gonna have the deep out. Washington's gonna run straight up the field. So as a quarter's defender, you're gonna be outside leverage a lot with this split and this alignment. If you're the cornerback that's safety, you're gonna have pressure from this number two I receiver. So right now, golden number zero. You got all this backside guys kind of covering grass because that is the coverage. So now you're putting a spot. And Jordan Love is reading that safety. If that safety shuts down and come and take number two, I'm throwing the number nine deep. And it has to happen in the split second. You see Jordan Love pressure in his face. Makes the throw. Can't even see it right now. But right now, if he's even, he's leaving. If he's running four three like Watson is and runs right by Christian Gonzales. So I mean, some of his great quarterback play and great play design. But a lot of it I think was very, very, very poor execution on defense side of ball, which is surprising with a variable and is that current operation? Can he just have a bad game? Is that happening on defense? Is that a communication? Yeah, you can, especially with a defense like this 'cause a lot of the same characters. They definitely moved on from some players. Kevin Byer obviously a new addition. But a lot of these plays involve Byer a veteran who was top of the league in interceptions last year and then Christian Gonzales who is rightfully so the highest paid corner in national football league. So yeah, I don't think these players are going to have bad games every week. Sometimes you just have a shitter. And variable said like, look, you're not going to win ball games if your best players aren't playing their best ball. Drake May has some port throws as well. He made some good ones, but you got to get, you know, B.A. you saw always say, hey, this is going to be a five-star game, right? Packers five star guys showed up. The Patriots didn't. Early in the season still a lot of time left. And I think variable is good after a loss. But this had to be a heartbreaking experience watching your defense play like this. You guys look like, no, fence, please. You look like a Colts defense a little bit. It could work for times and some other teams. That was not like a Mike Vrable, New England Patriot defense, especially with what we saw last year on a Super Bowl run. The defense was like top in the league, absolutely drenched on top of everybody not just covered. So to see that, are you worried or are we going to get it figured out? I'm not worried because the Packers are clicking on all cylinders. I will say it was disgusting. It wasn't as heartbreaking as like a Bears loss because you're playing so well and Caleb Williams making these great throws. And not that Jordan Love wasn't making great throws. But because it was such an ass beating, it was just kind of one of those like, OK, we're bearing in the ball. You know, that whole entire segment, I'm sorry, but I couldn't listen to it because I was told I'm not supposed to watch the film or the tape because we're bearing that tape. We're throwing out the window. You know, it's just. variable. I got word from the top down like, hey, don't even think about watching highlights this week because we're bearing the tape. So I haven't even seen some of that stuff that I watched on Sunday. But it sounds like you made that decision. Was that just an entire area? No, I think I think it was everybody. But to your point, that was the most points given up at Gillette Stadium. So actually have never seen something like that in my entire life. I expect a full blown and I will still word from this country Butts Creek on the Detroit lines. I think we are going to fucking hammer them. Now, I don't know if that's by three points in a physical battle over it's by 20. But we'll see what happens. Expect a huge bounce back. That game is in Germany as Connor just alluded to with the Butts Creek reference. I steal the word from their particular arsenal literally and figuratively in the water. And I like the Germany's getting another game. I like there's a 930 game. Yeah, we've all decided we like these games. They're great. Good match up, too. Hashtag, grow the game. Let's go to Hammer dot, dot. Did you expect that from the New England Patriots tone? The shit showing or them do, you know, stab us in the backs and go to Germany and celebrate that. We're not celebrating the history of Germany. Okay, trying to grow the game. Oh, no, Bruce just said a coach kind of whole thing ended in Germany last year if you remember. Oh, yeah, it's right. Because Daniel Jones came back after the buy the week after that and had a broken leg. Yeah, it's a chargers after that. Yeah, I like the country, Germany. I've been there. I think it's really nice. It's a great airport, right? It's wonderful. Really? What city? Frankfurt. Frankfurt Army, Army, Army base, military base. Happy Veterans Day. Tell your family we said thank you for their service. Frankfurt Airport is top of the line. We're talking to grass. Yeah, I'll tell you however you want it. So they all got, they're all strapped there, though. I mean, like you go through a PSA or whatever it is and they all got a or I mean, it is everybody in there has some sort of no game for the good Veterans Day. We need the Patriots to bounce back. Exactly. We didn't. And with this weekend, they need to bounce back, especially on that soil. Isn't Almond raw German? Yes. Oh, yeah, he is. So, oh, now you're rooting for Germany, sort of a homecoming. No, we're just just stating a fact. I will never forget ever. Debot was born in Germany, Debot. What team did you get drafted to? Doing the Patriots. Well, I'm fucking you, Almond raw. And now that you said it, now that you say it, I mean, I never thought that, but yeah, a little bit of a homecoming. Sebastian Volmer. Where's he from? Germany. Is he there now? Probably. Patriots are going to have a home game over there. I hope so. I hope so too. We played the Colts in Germany. The lost 10 to 6. Oh, and a lot of history that's all over there. Oh, okay. Let's go. We got Patriots have plenty of history doing well over in Germany. Okay, brother. Fair point. And the feed actually. Mosquito Bowl is crazy to watch. I wasn't Germany, obviously, it was Japan, the Pacific leader, but what that war was. I get the end where Peter Berg gives the stats. Crazy. Insane. Can't be doing that anymore. Maybe do it anymore. Now on that note, grow the game. Bring the world together. Celebrate ball. We love everything about that. Shout to the situation report. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to celebrate the big boys. Let's go inside the trenches. Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for Top 5, Top 5, Top 5, performing offensive lines coming out of week nine. Ladies and gentlemen, number five with AQ Shipley, the Denver Bronco. Here we go. It's Carolina. Yeah, I like this group. Obviously, we talked about it. Sean Payton at the Super Bowl a couple of years ago, right when he got the jobs today, we're going to invest in this offensive line. And he went out and got Mike Muglinchi, the big right tackle. Garrett Bulls, the left tackle is one of the best in the game. And obviously, Quinn Miners, we got a clip coming up at him that is special. But look at this duo block on the right side. We got a little deuce on Derek Brown, one of the best detacles. Muglinchi's going to wash his ass down inside. And then guess what? We don't have an edge, right? Debutt. No, we say no edge, no chance. We get a nice little seal block on the edge. We bounce this thing out. Corners got no chance. Walk into the end zone. And this was to take the lead in the fourth quarter. I like body on body. Shout to Muglinchi Notre Dame man. They were talking about him whenever we were up there in South Bend this past weekend. But Sean Payton did tell us a radio row very quickly after getting the job in Denver that he was disgusted by the offensive line. It was the first thing he was going to change. And we all celebrate him at the time. He's got it right. It feels like he does. I mean, listen, and they don't just because of the way he calls plays. They don't run the ball a ton, but they are efficient when they do run it. They're always four yards or more carry. They're only getting like 20 runs a game because he likes to live in the perimeter screens and pushing the ball down the field. But when they do run it, they're efficient. And then they got a physical right guard. Quinn miners. If you haven't seen this clip, it is special. Big princely on the outside said, what do you say? He said, I got baptized this week. This was his welcome to the NFL moment. You look at Quinn miners. He's going to hold off for a center. And then his target is locked. The back is turned to him. There he is. And as he spins back inside, he'll never spin again. Oh, puts his ass to sleep. That's princely Umen Miellen out of Ole Miss. It isn't his rookie year, but he's obviously playing a lot more now. Quinn miners. I don't know if he still has dreads or not. We learned of him in good morning football. An absolute stud has been praised on this show a lot. Go! Feet there. How good is that? Boom! Yeah. princely was asked about this after the game. This is what he had to say. I was rushing, felt the old line. I felt. How do I explain this? I felt like a spin there because he was on the back of my shoulder and as soon as I spin back, I got baptized. That was probably the hardest hit I ever took in my career. Was that your welcome to the NFL moment? Not going to lie. I was like, I'm not going to have it all the time. But I still want to welcome to the NFL moment, especially like a rookie year. I mean, you were second. You get more burned this year, so. I've never had my legs in the air like that. Shaft's Carolina Blitz. Good follow up too, saying, hey, excuse me, can we put this in perspective in him going? Yeah, I mean, I got absolutely got there. Shaft the princely, taking it the way it did, and Quinn throw back this guy since the beginning. He's unbelievable, and he's playing like the best right garden football right now, but again, he's always been physical since the moment he came in. That's how he got noticed. Come from like a division three school. He goes down to the senior bowl, and the minute that he got down there, his whole motive, I guess, was to put people on the ground, play through the whistle, and all the scouts noticed him. That's how he got picked up Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin whitewater. Yeah. Is that right? Where he was from? I think so. Yeah. A lot of history at that school, a lot of success in that school. Him going on good morning football before the draft. I remember thinking like this isn't like lifting logs or something outside. It's an aggressive move here for a rookie offensive line that we've never heard of before the draft going on television. He crushed it on there, and then since he's gotten to the league, he's been spectacular. AJ, you can't give these big guys ribs. They're looking for them. They're literally trying to not kind of nond your ribs any chance they get. Yeah, they aren't acued as McQuinchy. Does he know pre-snap that he's going to have this much help inside? So, yeah, so they're sliding that way. So the center slides that way. So yeah, it's A gap, B gap, C gap. So, but what I love about him is that he held off for the center first, make sure he secures his block, and then McQuinchy knows anything coming inside. Big seven seven's coming to get some good timing on the helmet through the sternum. Oh, yeah, just spins right into it, almost utilizes Prinsley's momentum against himself. I couldn't fathom. There's catapults on these, right? So they know what the hit was. Bum. Yeah, absolutely. And that's the first. Yeah, there's the fact that he hit the ground too. Yeah, the number one thing. Yeah, I agree. The number one thing offensive line coach is preach punish spinners, punish jumpers. So if you get a spinner, take them, if they're jump, put them on the ground. Yeah, we saw that obviously from the Steelers Offensive line in two weeks ago. That's right. Verse wasn't necessarily thrilled to know we want to fight said guy. Well, you got to fight for yourself first. Let's get to the number four in offensive line coming out of week nine. Dallas Cowell. What? Yeah. Oh, what? Dallas Cowell is number four offensive line with their records. Four and five still very much in it in the end of the East AQ Shipley. What are we seeing? Yeah, tough loss. So we could go against the Cardinals and almost had a tough one here. They almost blew this one, but the offensive line has never been the problem. The left side, incredible Tyler Smith, Tyler Geight and played fantastic this game. Here we go. We got a draw play. Look at Cooper BB. The center. He's going to set right. Help out booker. There he goes and climbs and now we're going to put the spotlight on him. As this linebacker comes downhill, mono, he might put his ass on the ground. Beautiful run. Beautiful run. They had over 180 yards rushing in this game. Offensive line played their ass off. It was not because of them. It has not been because of them all year. Javante Williams having a great year running the ball. It sounds like you liked the offensive line a lot. Do they have what it takes to be dangerous down the stretch on the offensive line position? Yeah, they just can't fucking blow the game at the end. I mean, they had two touchdown lead with seven minutes left in the fourth quarter against the Cardinals. And they put, they just parked the bus. You can't do that. You have to stay aggressive in today's game. You have to because teams are too good. They get two possessions in the final seven minutes. They're going to tie the game if you just parked the bus. And that's what this team, they've done too much. That's why that. Well, I know what it is. I know that I know what it means. I understand what we're saying, but you get what I'm saying. They go into prevent mode. They get into safe mode. Is that better? This guy's daughter is one of the best soccer players I've seen for her age. She's going to go on and help the US women's national team at some point. And I don't want to say what Uncle Pat is kind of put that pressure on her at a very young age, but I certainly have. We need her to represent for America. He's a Manchester City fan. Remember, he's got little footy things over there. He's starting to do soccer stuff in this football stuff. But I think What he's telling us is Cowboys still in this thing. They are and because they because why because why what do we always talk about? They invested in their offensive line every single one of these guys. They've draft every single one Every single one. Okay, you gotta talk about the Packers. No, cuz he got a fucking plate defense. I agree You got a chance if you got a good offensive line. Stay fucking sucks. You got a chance enough of the soccer term All right, let's go to number two. You got a chance. Let's go to number three performing offensive line scented atty bangles Here we go Let me say something about the Cincinnati bangles and this is why this group made it this week They're three and oh when they run for over a hundred yards This is their best rushing performance at a league. They finally switched schemes this team for years and years I've watched them run their head into a wall as they've just tried to run this zone scheme Well, guess what? They got big mother fuckers up front. So we switched the scheme. We got two big ass guards We got a big ass tackle at right tackle big zoo set left tackle Let's get the gap scheme going. Let's pull Rizner the backside guard Let's escape fair child the front side guard and then we get the seal blocked by big zoos We get the tight end release and leave the defense of N wide and as he climbs to the second level you get the seal You get to kick out. What's that boys a big Oh, they got the counter game going all game long they started using pulling guards This is the best their offensive line has looked in the run game in five years Okay, so maybe their run game isn't completely non-existent down the stretch Which I think we've kind of just come to expect to the Cincinnati bangles You're saying the film indicates maybe a little bit different well They went with a different scheme and I think that's the biggest thing They've been great in past pro hence the fact that burrows been able to do a burrow does a marius mims a marius mims on the right Tackle is one of the best past protecting lineman. I've ever seen he is unbelievable They invested in him in a first round pick he is mass of playing right tackle But to get the run game going that's what this team needs to do all right Maybe the bangles do have a run game maybe the packers are the only team they can't run the rock in the entire And a restaurant around her yards this week, but yeah, sure are they gonna be on here? No, they need a sign They need to get this hurt. They need to get their center back. I know he's hurt The top watch tough watch. Let's go to the number two performing offense line coming out of week nine the Kansas Achieve say Hey, we're gonna come to receiving touchdowns. I don't know about rushing. I think he had one but Rushing it to one receiving and he had a hundred and seventy seven yards rushing at eight yards of clip just so we're clear Is that good is that any good and I think you had to receive you receiving one? Yeah, there it is Okay, so you did have one so you try to make anything to be right. No, sorry But I am gonna show one of the receiving ones today. So we got a screenplay This is one of my favorite plays I've watched all weekend Creed Humphrey gets out in space And you see the timing doesn't go down field does a nice job squaring up this linebacker letting the play develop Getting to kick out and then you got trace Smith and big Kingsley who by the way got benched a week ago What do you do whenever you get benched? You come back you fight through adversity? You come downhill a million miles an hour and you fucking meet your running back in the end zone as you Decle eat me into the end zone. Go play. Yeah, you like the Okay, let's move it to start from Walker. That is good play. Yeah, so they fake the zone play They fake the zone play one way and then come back with the screen. It was really good Hey, Andy Reid's kind of in his bag. It sounds like a cue saying. What do you do with these big guys running down the field a Jay-Hop? Well, you used to chop them down you chop them down and send a hard edge But now you can't do that anymore than I felt does not like that as much it would protect the big guys knees But you got to give ground like 44 here. He does a pretty good job He's setting the edge outside give some ground like you let your buddies come and help out But unfortunately they got 350 pounders 30 yards down field running people over it's kind of tough to stop that left hand They're by creating is pretty nasty Yeah, yeah, that's it's so strong Green at Asian as a blind-backer DB. You can do absolutely nothing like AJ said if you pause it like as soon as he Pause it right group. Yeah, so like group if you got like let's say like six seven yards of space where you have time To Olay him to use your athleticism in space, but if you let it play here Time did up perfectly - it's too tight of course to make a move So you have to kind of take that block on and he's just gonna do whatever you want or the other crucial thing to this play AJ you know this you've seen this a million times debuts you know this right the back is the one who makes this play because a lot of times That back keeps drifting outside and as Creed goes there he drifts outside But what he does such a good job of is we know the landmarks are the numbers He catches the ball on the numbers and gets vertical which allows his offensive lineman to get their blow So as opposed to this being like a four-yard gain with that guy scraping out to the left We push them in there and tackling him there This is an actual touchdown because he trusts his blocking Exactly and he set up his blocking by not drifting That's the biggest thing same thing with Creed does a great job getting to the numbers and a lot of times you just keep drifting You don't even realize you're drifting but then you get outside the linebacker He hits it north and south and makes the play. Well, Creed does a great job getting to the numbers pausing and getting north and south Congratulations to the chief summer two performing offense line coming out of week nine now who's the number one offensive line coming out of week nine At the NFL season congratulations to San Francisco for the Niners That's right seven and one sitting atop the world in Acush you love their line and the way they utilize them I love it and we'll talk about Colton McIvitz who's the right tackle. He should be getting Pro Bowl recognition this year for years. We've just talked about Trent Williams, right? He gets all the shine Colton McIvitz the right tackle Phenomenal year this year. He's doing a fantastic job. Poonie. He has gotten back to the level he was at his rookie year Let's watch this single block on the right side. You're seeing it from the other angle So it's actually too our left. You'll see the single block and now watch what Colton McIvitz and Poonie do to number 69 right here Watch him hit it the hip get his ass off the ground and bury him a lot of pancakes on this week Unbelievable job by the offensive line, but again, that's all you got to do You just got to widen the defense of tackle the center brendle does a great job getting the reach block There's the butts. There's the hole getting north and south with McCaffrey You got him and the two headed monster with black. They were fantastic. Niners got an offensive line Niners got everything is this the year where they get to the top of the Marty mountain They trade for Keenan Allen they bring Mike Evans in they bring Debo back We know he's injured wherever the case, but they got weapons across the board a defense that hunts and And an offensive line that is seemingly better than anybody else congrats to them and to all the offensive lines who broke in through The top five perform an offensive line in the trenches with a Q Shiply you look super cool in that graphic Intense you see the flag almost move I can't picture that it's like kind of like animated right when you turn Yeah, just kind of can we see that one more time? There's some people that are next to me and said that maybe they missed it. They same here same on my side I've had some people text me and say like I don't think I could see it waving Well, see you're not looking at it the right way. I mean the things they animated. I paid extra for the animation Okay, so can we do we try to look at one more time? These are good cameras here. Mm-hmm. All right. You ready? Okay. Hold on. Yeah. Don't blink AJ. You ready? No, I'm not blinking You can feel it. Okay. I got it. I see it. You see it. Yeah Did you see I did Don't you want you to do one more one more for better. It's dead. Yeah, yeah, for sure It's like there's like a 30-mile-hour wind yeah, that thing around crazy. Did you see it? I see in real life I didn't and then I think when it was on camera. I still have yet to You told me over there. You saw I know I got sick of seeing It Do like the the concept you know the concept is it's thicker because that's where it's closer to you Yeah, and then where it's a little bit more Not seen or unfinished looking. That's where it's down so then there's another way the ripples Yes, the ripples of the way. Yeah, that's in theory what it is What it is. Okay, God bless America. Thank you troops. Yeah, yeah I don't think AJ seen it I don't think I absolutely do you guys might sound like you got to be a little at little creativity imagination to see it I can see it man. I got a three-year-old. I mean the creativity and imaginations at a time. Hi, I would say that you showed a book yet flip hook That's what his arms. That's right. Yeah I'll blow mine first out of cartoons We have a pretty good flag flying at the house, you know, yeah, I think she knows what it's supposed to look like Thank you got two on his pick up truck. Hey, that's right man. I don't have a pickup truck No, yeah, he's got a way to remember so he can you got a pickup truck. Yeah, yeah, we remember that cool I got an SUV Don't put me in a corner now. This isn't what I want right now Semper Fidelis bumper stick. Yeah, don't fret on me. That's crazy Happy Veterans Day. We appreciate the hell out of the vets. Thank you AQs for going in the trench Teams on there you should feel good about your chances down the stretch You're gonna have to have a good offensive line so shout out to the bangles I did I know that until today I think I'm pumped up about what they've been doing in the past game If they can block for a little bit of a run and maybe a little time a possession later down the stretch We know Joe can make the throws if they need it Maybe the bangles do go in a run. Congrats at ease five now. It's time to showcase the other shot of the ball It's time to dive in laser jump. It's time to everything D.B. with D. Buds. Good. D. Bud. Hey, listen, D. Bud, it's been something special this year. Uh-huh. Just spinning and slinging that good old D weekend and week out. Is defense getting better throughout the season? Is defense staying the same? What are you expecting down the stretch here from the good? I was in a situation, you know, team by team, like for instance, the Jaguars. I think, you know, sometimes you make big trades. It's like, hey, I want to add to a weakness. I think they actually added to a strength, which is their defense bringing in some guys who big time playmakers, a lot of interceptions, a lot of punchouts as well. So as a defense, you're going to give up yards with these great coaches and great quarterbacks, but the more turnovers you can create, that's what really changes the game. So let's get to some turnovers. It was a ton of turnovers, too many turnovers on this primetime game, but I loved it as a D.B. as a defensive back. Right now you're presenting man-to-man coverage to Baker Mayfield, the one, the guy at the bottom of the screen. I say linebackers out on the tight end. That is a cornerback. Jalen Johnson on Emeca, Ibuka in the slot. So right now, if they motion down, Baker is still anticipating man-to-man coverage. No, you're going to leave the linebacker outside. He's going to play the flat and be the corner. And now Jalen Johnson, the corner, he's going to basically be a nickel and play this hook, breeze the quarterback, Baker doesn't see it big time interception by Jalen Johnson. Jalen Johnson needed a couple of weeks ago, he had him on the sit rep facing the green bait packers. And it was bombs over the bears in that game, but they made some big time plays. This being one of them for Jalen Johnson needed this play. I think this is the one position group when that bears defense or bears team you look at and say, have we get better production from them? We can make a Super Bowl run. Big time play by number one. Jeffrey, helping with all this is Jeffrey, Jeffrey, like what is Jeffrey non just sacking or tackling guys do for an entire deep run game. You got to put a couple guys on them. And a lot of times you see in the trenches, where guards or centers, they'll hit a guy and climb up to that second or third level. When you have a guy like Simmons in there, you're not getting up to that second or third love. You got to hang on to 99. And at any time in the past game is a quarterback, obviously edge Rutgers get all the attention and all the money. But whenever you can create that constant pressure on the interior, I played with Tom early in my career. And that was his big thing every week. Like he doesn't want guys in his face guys around him. He's fine. But in his face, that's where you don't want the pressure. Simmons and those other guys definitely will help with that. Just have to throw that around Jeffrey right there. Not that you can't find a throwing little, but I mean, that is. Yeah, I mean, there we go. And if run this clip one more time, like look at Jaylin, like kind of just his eye. So he's going to peek outside, boom, feel it. And then once he sees that route, he knows the high low something in front of you, something behind you and just put his foot in the ground and make that play as a anticipation. I love big time players making big time plays. He's making a ton of money. So he's going to make some big time plays this year. This was the Bears last year just turn the ball over every single play seemingly. Yeah. And you know, I we say year that's a year-to-year thing. Really do we see a team have those turnovers year after year. The Jacksonville Jaguars has been a team who's still at the top of the league when it comes to that. And when you have an offense on the other side of ball now, this game they turn the ball over time. I want to say this was right after a clip. Yeah, first play after. Yeah. So they threw back-to-back interception. So look, get your opportunity. This is why a lot of people I think after this game are higher on the Bears as the season goes now because you don't expect Caleb to have another outing like this. Another guy you, you hope he stops putting this, you know, bad outings on take Drake May right now top of the league interceptions tied just in the harbor cover years. Take yours out top of Justin Herbert right now with the 11 interceptions. Now this is a great play defensively. And you remember the Kevin buyer the deep when he was in quarters and kind of as soon as Jordan love went to break, he said he threw deep. So number nine, this is going to be a similar situation. But McKinney puts his foot in the ground and times this up. I would say perfectly. So right now they're presenting a single high coverage. Looks like cover three looks like. Man, nope, it's going to go to split safety kind of a cover to show and just watch 29 keying the quarterback. Whenever you're a deep half or a deep post defender in Xavier, McKinney has been one of the best at playing this since coming out of Alabama. Just keying that quarterback and almost baiting them up. Yeah, he has this. He's as deep as the deepest. He's right on his landmark. Eyes back on the quarterback. Drake made never sees him on the backside of his route concepts. He steps into a foot goes in the ground for two nine and just boom, beating him to the ball. Like his plant break like it. It's this is perfect. It's like a combine rep from a deep safety boom. And then securing an interception. He doesn't drop a ton of those. If you throw him in 29's direction, he's going to catch it. And right now leading the league along with the money hooker within the sessions with five. Okay. So you're going to need to get another defensive coordinator yet again. This would be three straight DCs. Unfortunately, I think so. I mean, I don't know. You'd be able to, you know, or AJ would be able to, you know, tell me a little bit better, but yeah, they're, I think tied for the lead in the NFL with turning people over. They're starting to get a bunch of sacks too. And again, they're doing all this without without Michael. So we'll see. I would only expect that production kind of increase about 10 fold when he gets back. We do have film from the Thunderdom stage here, just to kind of amplify everything that just took place. Connor did say he didn't want to hear any of this and watch any of this. He buried the ball. Coach, we've got the messaging to him. That is the truth here is D. But doing it right now. And then if you look over here, this is what we just saw literally took his ear, but I like that. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. Welcome back. It was bad. I'm going to let you know he was not good, but I respect that you're going to have to bury the ball and move along. Let's get back to the bear's box baseball. It seems like absolutely. Like I said, it was a ton of interceptions. This one is from Cam Lewis right now. A lot of disguise and present one thing and then post snap rotating. That's what's so tough for quarterbacks. Not only pre snap, you got to figure shit out, but then post snap, you got to anticipate things because DBs were anticipating things as well. So right now you present that split safety look on a rotate down to like a three buzz and Lewis. He's just sitting there, just waiting, just baiting Baker right for his number two receiver to sit down. He's going to put that foot in the ground, be efficient with the break. And then once again, take advantage and make a play on the football. Now if you look at the field position in the time of this game, this is two minute, 48 seconds left in the first half. So this is huge. They're already in field goal range. And now you take the ball back and give your offense an opportunity to drive the ball and get some points as opposed to them getting points. And now they were up two touchdowns at this point, big time and inception by Cam Lewis, but it started with the pre snap presentation and then post snap that late rotation and making a place. Bears best team in ball. Oh, I don't know. It's hard to say right now. I would. Hey, you should know who you got liners. I have receivers. I don't need them right now. They'll get them back. If Mike Evans, I think if Mike Evans is healthy, it's hard to go against the niners, but they play right now. I would go with the bear. So I'm a jacks pairs and jacks play each other in like two weeks. I think jacks is it's hard. Yeah. What about Buffalo? Buffalo. Really good. I mean, jacks right now would be my AFC representative. If I had to pick one in the NFC, don't say now. What do you think? No, no, no, no, we're talking now. Yeah, I'm saying no. I mean, I mean, the niners in four weeks are going to have Debo and they're saying, I get it. I'm going to be who I go to bears. I would take your bears. The grand game with all offense with Ben Johnson with Caleb with the defense Simmons like that addition. I think that's. Yeah. After that Monday night football game. Devon Bush too. Sorry, Kajoff. He is, I mean, he's playing how they expect him to play with the first surgeon. Yeah. He's unbelievable. Yeah. And what they did to Seattle, I think, really, I mean, that was a big like nobody's done that to make Donald nobody done that to that Seattle team. Yeah. Caleb's playing unbelievable in the defense. Yeah. That was an omelette for Caleb since coming into the league. He didn't turn the ball. Yeah. He did all the pressure. I mean, is that the blueprint? How many tables is it's not a bunch of. I get it to him this year too. Yeah. Exactly. Of course. Exactly. So that's the blueprint. What was going on? We're conditions. Yeah. Yeah. We told that it was a thunderstorm looking back at the footage. Really wasn't that wet of a day. Yeah. I think you look back at the footage. It was quite a damn day. I'll probably tell the internet. Wasn't really that wet. There was moments. We're watching the game. Where are they? Take Carl went through any pigs that day. Was you was he the quarterback for them? Oh, geez. Yeah. He lost a car. It feels like we might have the blueprint. Sounds like somebody doesn't want to believe in Caleb. I believe in Caleb. They got pressure. They get pressure on them interior pressure just like we were talking about and he made poor decisions, poor throws. And I want to say like most of them first down too. So like you just got a thread. You just got to eat it, which he didn't do. That's the one thing we were talking about when flew to this coach. He's been getting better. So yeah, I don't think we're are we done with good D here? No, we got one more. All right. From from from Herba from Justin Herba. He threw one and we got Sterex Dingley out there on the air. I guess the Texans can still make it, right? I don't think so. We talked about how like the the AFC field is basically like one team is going to have to collapse. So maybe the Texans and some good D get down the street. CJ Strout is playing unbelievable. That was the talk coming into this year. Hey, it's kind of like how to talk about the Vikings defense. Hey, this is a football caliber defense. You can't waste some CJ Strout, whatever, whatever, whatever. He's coming. He's probably getting 65 million. Once he comes to come back from the table. But three by one formation really like a one by three. So you got all the speed over there. The wide receivers. You have a tight end down here. So Stingley Jr. We saw this pick a similar pick from Byron Murphy being that backside. We almost saw Ricards and Davis with the The Patriot is almost getting there, so right now is a corner. I'm a deep third defender. This is a cover three or form of a cover three. I'm a deep third. This is my only deep threat down here. His deep threat is going to be Quentin Johnson coming from the other side of the film. Justin Herbert is only looking at that pose safety. He never picks up this backside corner. That's going to what we call fine work, young quarters. Don't just cover grass. Look at two fours vision. That's all my words right now. - He's right now. - He's right now. And speed at three, that's a game changer for defense. That always fucks up defense. You got to get some help somewhere. He finds works times it up, paces it up, tracks the ball, and makes a big time interception. We saw it in the Minnesota Viking game, with Josh Allen, he threw it up in the right backside corner, had vision, found work. You see, there's a lot of times from veteran corners. There's obviously a veteran corner and then you got to seal it with making that pick. So that's a big time interception. Justin Herbert, similar to that Xavier McKinney one, never really saw that backside defender only looking at the front side. Great job tracking his down with his speed with the timing. So he looks, once you're in position, DBs, look back and play the ball. You call to Davis. If he looked back and played the ball, he probably picks that one off from Watson, but instead he runs into him, gets to flag. Look back and play the ball, turn into a wide receiver. - I mean, he made it look so easy that he knew exactly what was happening. That had to feel so good. As soon as you see it, AJ was talking about, he identifies it right now. That's obviously film study. That's natural instinct, that's IQ and everything. But for him, he knows there's a chance he's about to steal one here, right? - Oh yeah, if you go back to the beginning, Foxy, any one of the wire copies, his only threat is that tight end right now. And that's, you know, that's stingy junior. He's not worried about him running by him. So as soon as he goes flat and as an offensive play call, as a play caller or as a quarterback, you kind of have to know that too. You have to know like, hey, there is nothing holding this backside corner. A lot of times that'll be a ride receiver or tight end. That's just running deep. Maybe running the seven route to clear him out. But it's nothing holding that backside corner. So as soon as he sees that play develop, his eyes immediately goes to the speed. All the speed is over there. I'm away from it initially. Now, where can I find work? Who can I help? If he just sits there and cover grass and say how I'm gonna do what's on the paper, this is probably a touchdown. He'll hit Johnson and Stride. The safety never gets there, he runs by him. And they're making a play, look back and make a play. I mean, that's a big time play by a big time player. - All right, that's some good day. - That's some good day. - I'm happy they got on there. I'm happy they got on there. They don't know that they're probably not gonna make the playoffs. - Am I, we'll see. - Especially if they keep saying it again. Do you like it? - I got a defensive player to you right now. They got me, CJ Strauss planning the MVP level. They put themselves in a hole, which sucks. And obviously the Jaguars look like they're going to run. So we'll see. - Here's the current playoff picture, as it sits for the AFC. A lot of people think that is locked in. But the Houston Texans certainly lurking down there. Patriots five and four, sitting at the seven seat, holding up the last wildcard spot. You can certainly see a little bit of some chaos taking place down the stretch for any of these teams. And if this goes in, no injuries. - Yes. - It's gone. - Need it. - Yep. - I'm pretty excited for this. 'Cause we can get a better look at this playoff picture if there's no injuries. - Yep. - Agreed. - 'Cause injuries kind of change everything. - Everything. - Puking to cook, it's our Miles Garrett comes back with Mayhem. - Carson Backair starts this week. - Yeah. - Carson Backair to chance to shine for the Arizona Cardinals. No more injuries for the rest of you or to anybody. - All right. - Oh yeah. - True. - Same. - Yeah. - Violin lead. - Good. - Just a little longer. - It's a fricking hard-ass lead. - Yeah, it's a fricking hard-ass, a bottle of lead. - Thank you for that good deep butt. Good deep butt. - Good deep butt. - Good deep fit. - That stingy thing had to be so much fun. Soon as he sees him, he's just, oh, I got a fucking pick right now. - Covered 50 yards in like two and a half seconds. - I mean, we saw it. We were boosts on the ground for the Murphy Dream. That was, that was incredible. I don't know if we have it or not, but obviously he couldn't make it because they didn't win the ball. And boom. So same thing here. And he had a guy that actually ran deep, but just because he has the vision and that was okay. It's a backside corner DJ Moore. Get back there. I mean, that's a great feeling because the quarterback is not accounting for you. He's just trying to throw the ball to his receiver. Good job on veteran player. I love to see it. - Four receptions by Murphy Jr. right now. - We are attacking Josh Allen a little bit going, come on. Josh, what the hell are you doing? That guy came out of nowhere. That guy's not supposed to be there, especially with them having a water receiver over there, right? - And then interior pressure too. You saw Redmond 61 who's fucking game record for that bike in his defense. But I mean, to be fair with that. - That should have been a touchdown. - With that big fella, Bill and Delaney, for him to get that throw off and actually get down. I know a hung up in the air and that gave time his guys are fast as fuck so they can cover a ton of ground. I mean, just phenomenal play. - He had like a 50 yard return on that too. - Yep. - Not granted. You know, he could have ran it down to the goal line and it wouldn't matter because Carson wants us playing quarterback. But. - The point. - QB sneak. - Did tone post on his. - Did you imagine a Carson went? It's QB sneak. - Yeah, right. I did. - Hands chest helmet up into the air. - Trying to take it over and just immediately getting it punched out. - Yeah. - Yeah, legit. He actually might put that thing through his leg snap. - Throw it behind his back over the line or something? - Tons posted, we'll never forget the RIP Carl Wentz game. We were there for it. That was the end. - Truly. - He was going to continue to get opportunities just what could be with Carson Wentz. And then everybody on national television saw. Maybe all that juice has been drained after an incredibly long chaotic career. Congrats, Carson. We appreciate you, dude, actually. - Go run. - Glad you're Carson. - And why'd you say AI content? Tone, what'd you do? AI-wise. - When'd you boys like to know? - Oh, it's got maybe whiteness teeth a little bit. Maybe, uh, maybe a little bit of that. I like that. - I made the bulge in my pants a little bigger. - I was gonna say. - Oh, is that because the above average pole thing that's been kind of happening now with the expectations? - Yeah, looks like I'm carrying a mag light all the way down to my head. (laughing) - Oh, yeah. That sounds always been right, Tone, you're the man. - Yeah, at least in AI, yeah. - To the AI score. - These kids, I get why they hate it, but I love it. - Yeah, it's rather than make you, you look good in this one particular photo, and then right underneath an Instagram, it says, "Not real, that fucking dick." (laughing) That's unbelievable. Tone, great work today, buddy. - Hey, come here. - Hey, come here, Tone. - Come here, come here. - Tone, if you could put some odds on AQ Shipley bearing in one of these throws, what would that be? - Big plus one. - So, I am, uh, I've been trading a lot since we're in Minnesota, I would put it a two and a half percent. - Okay, great odds if you were to bet that, and that actually hit. The trade markets are crazy to learn about, 'cause they are much more blunt to you. - Yeah. - Ah, four percent chance of this hit. - What? - I always heard plus seven-nineteen. (laughing) - Well, what do you mean is four percent chance? So we appreciate that being what the trade market is, and it was nice to be able to continue to do that in states that don't have sports gambling. So shout out to DraftKings being able to put that into a position to be able to work, you know. And if you agree to be responsible about it, we'd love for you to come join us, available coast to coast. And if they were to put odds on it, I think they say plus 10,000. - That was, yeah. - I think they'd say plus 10,000. With how this year is gone, I-- - Going in. - Okay. - Going in. - How about no think he more athlete take over it? This one, 30 people win $500 if AQ is able to put that football into that hoop right over there. All right, wow. I was knocked out of jerseys. - Why does it always go right? - Well, see, whenever a ball turns over, and I know you're not used to throwing things, but for a right handed way that spins, shh, that's turning over this way. Lefty would turn over this way. It's much like punting and kicking, you know. It's kind of a similar and long snapping, I guess, and at all, you should have a good grasp of that, and it happens every single time you throw. Ty Schmidt, disgusted by your performance, has something to say to maybe get a job done. I mean, you're a Hallfamer, okay? Stop thinking, just let the athlete any take over. Like Pat said, less stinky, more athlete take over. Let's go. - Well, no. - 30 people, $500, AQ, ship, they had a moon town ship. - Oh, that's a good one. - Very close, very close. - He was gonna try to say it went in. See that? He was gonna say we could say that went in, didn't we? He felt like you were thinking that. - No, I just, I played for the. - Oh, so you played for the fade in its stage straight. - Yeah. - Do you wanna throw another one are you done? - One more, okay? You know, the fade only comes if you spin it. - We got a duke around here. I mean, I know that's a lot harder, but this man did snap the duke. - You think he can make a duke? - He might snap it in from here. If you got a duke in his hand. - Okay, it's a little baby ball. This one's smaller than the others. So a duke would be double the size of all the footballs he had been throwing, a little bit more difficult, but maybe a comfort level than AQ would find himself in. - Conman has a little bit of a words of encouragement for AQ. - Just fucking throw it, dude. I'm sick of you aiming at it and all this bullshit. Did you see Pablo Kosalos? Did you see that story about him? He was always working. He was, he was from Kosalos. - But what Pablo Kosalos does, he just kept throwing. So if you just stop thinking about it, just throw it. Here, passing the ball. I'm gonna just throw it to you. It'll help you. - So hot! - Huh? - Starting people, $500, Pablo Kosalos! - Cute! - Oh! - Mama Mia. - My own. - Who's it? - If that was a dude, probably a little bit shorter. - Fragos. - Yeah. - Dr. C. Jesus. - It's almost like Outbreak. Well, I think there's some names that were wrong and then a story maybe that was close. But nonetheless, sacrifice is what it's all about for your brother. And we appreciate you trying to win that for your brothers and sisters, but yet again another week goes and you let them done. Maybe it's the bright lights, maybe we need to get him a ski mask like he uses on his only fans page. Is it a ski mask or what type of, do you do the exposed the rest of us, the two eyes? No, he's got a tube sock. Is it the two eyes? It's the one big hole. Yeah. What's happening? What's one is it just so I know I make so much money. Do you have a snowboard goggles on? All right, I just want to know what you're doing. Tony seemingly knows, which is just asking, I guess, let's get a hammer down, down, whenever a Q heads the hammer down, down, you have snowboard goggles on, it's an imp mask. Oh, okay, leather, got it. Appreciate you, Tony. Good work, everybody. Good work, Tony. It's not for me. It's not for me either. Oh, this is from all this scary movies for my understanding. I think also dodgeable, I don't know. Oh, it's the mask from screen. That's what it is. Really? Is that real? No. You should wear a Bain mask. That would be sick. That would be sick. Big Tom Hardy fan these days. Yeah. Would you still have holes for the eyes or would you just? I wouldn't need it. Well, you think that would cover him up enough? Yeah. I didn't know it was tough. I thought he was wearing a ski mask plus Bain mask on top. Borner, throw a hoodie on him. Oh, yeah. I like that. Listen, it sounds like you shouldn't do it, though, by the way. Just something. If you need to hide your face as much as it sounds like you do, maybe it's not something you should be doing. That's probably good life. What is happening right now? Tom just told us about your little secret thing you told us about you. I mean, this isn't real life. Is it real? It's comedic and formative. Of course. comedic and formative. You're so defensive. It makes me think it is real. Yeah. And also, I toned in him riding in that car, you know, early morning. I can only imagine what my mom's thinking right now watching this. She doesn't know what any of these words are, but I think she probably doesn't know what only fans is. She knows. It's from Pittsburgh. No, you're doing it in White House. Exactly. It's important to say. You'll bear cheeks on the leather seats. This is all for entertainment purposes only, mom. I didn't know she watched. She's a great lady. She's a great lady. I know either. Sorry. Thanks, man. Oh, they watched, man. I get the great show every day. It was today. Did you listen to the words? It was a great show. Today was a great show. And also, we have finally pieced together that flag waving on your left forearm. We didn't know. We couldn't see it at the time, but I guess replaying it back. This is what it looks like. I didn't see it in real time. Look at that. Now I see it. Now he's there. What he moves his arm. We can tell. God bless America, man. I've got to cover that up now, too. What's that? Well, when he's doing this. Oh, yeah. Because now everybody knows. Look at the hoodie on. You're going to have to go old school underarm her cold gear. Cold gear. With the thumb, with the thumb and then gloves, it still can tell it to you, buddy. That's a huge hood, though. Big hood. Yeah. Big hood. Not saying it. You're about to be a friend to offer and something nice in my change your life. We're going to sit together. Deepak. Good work this week. Good work. You too, buddy. Good work. Good work, buddy. Same travel as deep butt. You too, buddy. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That's what it's called. Bunk up with Chuck. Mm-hmm. Might stay in Chuck's house. You should. Why not? Please do. A house is probably sick. Oh, listen. We got two five star suites ready for you in dumpster and whoever we can shit, he's staying my butt. I mean, he is. I just have to heat up the pool, too. I would like to be able to get in the pool. Yeah. Heat that out. We at least need to do a. Yeah, exactly. So come. Yeah. Yeah. Geez. I restarted a whole thing. That's the whole goddamn thing for that one hoppin, guys. Okay. Must be nice. It's got the golf course right behind his house. Got to play some golf. Miss Tina. Oh, my god. The food is going to be unbelievable out there. Mm-hmm. All right. I guess that's what we're doing. All right. Boom. That's a big commitment. Are we? Are we really doing that? Yeah. Yeah. We go pop in for dinner. It's probably close. Don't stay there. You're not going to leave. That would fucking suck. That's the dichotomy of the world, wouldn't it? And we thank you for allowing us to do it. It is because I love you. They would get to celebrate sports every single day. And if you served in the military, we thank all of you for being bad asses. Be a friend to other friends. I'm nice with my changer of life. We're going to send you together. Team on me. Team on three. One, two, three, team. Good bye!
